Jonk's trip to the United States has actually affected two matches for the Portuguese nation, for which Mendes also made a point of communicating with Scolari, but the media was not so talkative, and was very angry at Jonk's approach to keeping up with money and ignoring the national team's games.

Scolari said a few good words for Jonker, and the Portuguese country did not encounter any difficulties in the two games, and the turmoil came and went quickly!

However, after returning to the UK, all the British media brought up the old story again, and a bunch of disgusting flies found the cracks in the eggs again, and whether you were rotten eggs or not, they were going to make you stink.

Of course, the reason for the media is also the attitude of Sir Alex Ferguson, the absolute boss of Manchester United, towards similar players in the past, is Jonker's honeymoon at Manchester United just beginning to end?

In the next round of opponents Everton, the media was surprised to find that Jonker was not selected for the starting list, because of the punishment for commercial activities in the Manchester United team, Jonk is not the first person, but this time he failed to start attracted all the attention of the media.

Ferguson didn't explain much before the game, and Jonker didn't start the issue, pointing out that the players came on according to tactical needs, and there was no zài punishment.

The media didn't think so, and The Sun pointed out that this was a warning from Ferguson to Jonker, and would Jonker's personality fight back?

The Sun, who has always been unrelenting, even pointed out that Jonker will definitely become a time bomb for Manchester United this season, and it is not known when it will be detonated, but the seeds of infighting have been planted.

Back in the game, Ferguson fielded just one orthodox striker from Carlos Tevez in the starting line-up. The Argentine was once again forced to play the role of a single arrow before the attack. Everton's two strong centre-backs, Yabo and Lescot, have clearly studied Tevez's style of play. They always forced Tevez to take the ball with his back and use his physical advantage to break up United's attack. In addition, C-Ronaldo, who has been absent from the battle for a long time, is not in good shape. Manchester United's attack in the first half was thunderous but rainy. United had eight shots in the first 45 minutes, with only Carlos Tevez finding a header from the far post on the 20th minute when he met Brown's cross from the right.

There was no chance on goal, but Tevez was doing his best to show his passing skills, the beast dropped back to win the ball in the fifth minute, and the clever kick for Evra after receiving a knock back from Ryan Giggs was also quite threatening, but the Frenchman struck the side-netting. In the 56th minute, he retreated to organize an attack. Giggs answered and passed back, and the beast picked it up directly to Scholes, who slashed in. The whole coordination was very smooth, but it was a pity that Gingerhead's right-footed shot was high. It was also the best chance for United to combine in the whole game. Keeping Tevez away from the front line and turning in the direction of the attack, he can be a threat. This is a pattern that has been confirmed in previous rounds of the Premier League.

In the second half, Tevez's range of motion increased. Instead of rigidly engaging in pointless one-on-one duels with opposing centre-backs, he actively retreated to attack with the ball, and the change of position gave Tevez the opportunity to perform his own unique ability to break through the inside and shoot. In the 62nd minute, the Argentine took the ball on the left side and cut in, and after connecting two people, he shot from a distance, and the ball was high.

The introduction of center forward Wayne Rooney in the 63rd minute gave Tevez plenty of room to move. Manchester United's attacking midfield has also taken on a new look. Tevez's counter-attack from a corner kick in the 86th minute was the best example. The Argentine broke through with the ball in the middle of the pack and a clever cross set up Patrice Evra to break down the left.

The Guardian was impressed with the change: "Before Ryan Giggs was replaced by Saha. Tevez tried but did not work. The subsequent changes put significantly more pressure on Everton's backline. ”

Judging by this game. Tevez's biggest threat lies in his playmaking and passing after he gets the ball. Some time ago, Manchester United was limited to unlicensed hands and was forced to push the diminutive Argentine forward to the front, resulting in a lack of a fatal blow in the attack, forming a "lose-lose" situation. Previously, Daily Telegraph columnist Alan Smith (the namesake with former Manchester United star) had suggested that Tevez was not a good fit for the centre-forward position. In the Englishman's view, Tevez's success at West Ham is due to the fact that the Hammers have a centre-forward like Hywood up front, while manager Kirbyshley has not limited the space for the 'beast', who is free to roam in midfield.

Similarly, in Ferguson's original plan, he and Jonk took turns playing the role of attack, a style of play that would allow for a more effective attack on the opposition's defence. It's a pity that Rooney was injured in the first round, and Manchester United, who knew that he couldn't do it, could only put Tevez alone on the front line.

Now Rooney's comeback is undoubtedly a positive sign. The England centre-forward could put Carlos Tevez back in the second striker position, giving him more room to move around and disrupt the defence.

Tevez's table in this game was not bad, but Cristiano Ronaldo, who returned from the red card ban, was not in very good shape.

From Cristiano Ronaldo's red card against Portsmouth to today's comeback against Everton, the time interval is exactly one month, during which Manchester United has experienced three games, from the sadness of the derby to the joy of winning two consecutive home games, Ronaldo can only taste the team's gains and losses in the stands. Although he was a bit more defeated in today's game, the long-term significance for Manchester United is equivalent to Rooney's comeback.

In today's game, the word used by Sky Sports to describe Berbatov is very accurate for Cristiano Ronaldo: OFF-DAY. Today's unhappiness is really reflected everywhere, and it is estimated that Ronaldo will be depressed for a while after the game.

First, the shooting was not smooth, six shots on goal in the whole game, only one hit the goal range, but the shot that was too positive could not threaten the former Bayern substitute goalkeeper Wiesels, and three of the other five shots were free kicks, which is Ronaldo's forte, but he never thought that the three-legged shots on goal all hit the wall and popped up, and Wiesels even saved the posture of saving. It seems that the effect of a month of training and a month of competition is indeed very different, and although Ronaldo has shown himself at the European Championships, once he returns to the club, he has to wait for the next round to find his feet.

The second is that the breakthrough is not smooth, which may be the most painful thing for Ronaldo today. For a speedy defender like him, breaking through the opposition defence in order to create more chances is the most important task. But he met Lescott today, and on the other side was Beins, both of whom were first-class fullbacks in England, and Ronaldo broke through in front of them, which seemed to be not as powerful as before. It's no wonder Sky Sports only gave him a 5 and the assessment was that he didn't really get into the game.

The third is that he did not fall well, and Ronaldo is often called "the king of fake falls" by fans who oppose him. This is not exclusive to Chinese fans, at least British fans agree with this, and there are also toy market manufacturers who have launched his fake falling dolls. There was also a so-called study that claimed that when it came to the Champions League and the national team, the consequence of Ronaldo's fall was that not many referees paid attention. In the Premier League, most of them will be awarded a foul. How much of this is a real fall and how much is a fake performance, only he knows.

But Ronaldo met the British referee who didn't sell his account this time, in the 71st minute, he ran from the middle to the left with the ball, and when the opposing central defender stretched his leg to stop him, the Portuguese fell to the ground, is this true or false? The referee, Willy, decided that it was a fake and unceremoniously gave a yellow card. The Everton fans immediately returned to the 2006 World Cup, and the audience cheered.

But this yellow card. provoked Ferguson to express his dissatisfaction after the game, in the old coach's opinion, Willy was affected by the crowd's uproar, "He probably thought that Ronaldo must have fallen into the penalty area, so he came to the yellow card, in fact, he fell outside the penalty area, this is definitely a trip, there is no doubt." ”

Whether there is doubt or not, it is an indisputable fact that the Portuguese's overall poor performance is true, and the same is true for his junior brother Nani, who came on as a substitute and was substituted without injury or illness, which feels so bad and how bad it feels.

But Ronaldo's comeback, in the long run, obviously has too much benefit to Manchester United, and play good and bad compared with Nani, old and strong Ryan Giggs, Ronaldo's threat is obviously higher, although this game was not played well, but I believe that no fan will think that this is the real Ronaldo, Manchester United's attacking firepower on the side this season, in the end, Ronaldo has to reflect and achieve a satisfactory situation.

In addition, even if Rooney is considered to return, the combination of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez must be at a very high level for United's overall attacking power to be reflected, after all, both men like to run on the left flank. During Cristiano Ronaldo's suspension, Tevez had to adapt to the team alone, and now that Ronaldo is back, the two can continue to work together to create a new attacking line.

As Manchester United embark on their Champions League campaign in midweek, the first team they will encounter is Sporting Lisbon, the parent club of Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani.

The road to defending the title was difficult, but the Red Devils were hampered by their opponents. With Nemanja Vidic's late header, United knocked on Everton's door and moved up to 13 points to temporarily return to the top three they should have. Ferguson should certainly thank Nemanja Vidic, the Serb's five goals since his arrival, the most weighty. In front of Everton, whose strength continues to improve, Manchester United is not so much relying on strength, but relying on will to open the door to victory.

After this game, Everton's unbeaten home record since April last year also broke down, and the last team to win at Goodison Park was also Manchester United, when the Red Devils played a classic comeback, after conceding two goals in a row, four times to break the Everton goal, so that after that game, the reason for the absence of Everton's number one goalkeeper Howard was questioned by Chelsea and other opponents, and finally the league investigated before Everton was cleared.

Last night at Goodison Park, United's hunger for victory was still burning hot. Unlike the clash five months ago, United, who have already been left behind in the top three, cannot afford to leave a wider gap, and it is Everton who are currently in the table to replace United in the top three, and they will have to step on the shoulders of their opponents if they are to maintain the traditional order of dominance in the last four.

Ferguson is missing Hargreaves and Wayne Rooney, the midfield is still partnered by Paul Scholes and Carrick, Cristiano Ronaldo is back from suspension, and Patrice Evra is on the wings, Ryan Giggs is combined with Tevez, and Saha is on the bench. In addition to maintaining the attacking combination of Johnson and Jakob, Moyes has also reused new signings Baines and Gagielka in central midfield. After the first 20 minutes of attacking and defending each other, Ferguson showed an anxious look on the sidelines, watching his disciple control the rhythm but unable to score a goal.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Michael Carrick both shot wide from distance, and Patrice Evra broke through and fired into the side-netting. But more often than not, it was a frequent passing error in the opponent's hinterland. After a long attack, Sylvester sprained his ankle again, causing Ferguson to chew gum in a hurry. Shortly after the second half, United played a delicate combination up front, Scholes picked up a cross and burst into the box to form a one-on-one, but his furious shot hit the stands. The lord ran out of patience and replaced Giggs with Saha in a last-ditch effort.

The process that followed also failed to improve the efficiency of the attack, with Saha losing space under Jobo and Lescott. Scholes was also unable to support the attacking attack from the back because of his declining fitness, so Moyes sent Pienaar and Anicheby to take Manchester United off guard. Vidic stepped up to save the Reds. In the 85th minute, from a corner, the United centre-back scrambled forward to head Nani's pass into the Everton goal, causing the home side to surrender completely.

Everton's Manchester United game, apart from Carlos Tevez, has won no media admiration. The Champions League group stage starts in midweek. Manchester United, who are out of form, will be able to get out of the first round away to their nemesis Portugal.

As it turned out, the media's worries were unwarranted, and the Champions League ended the first round of the group stage. In Group F, Manchester United, who visited the Alvalad Stadium, relied on C-Ronaldo's header and Jonker's burst in the final stage to firmly grasp the fruits of victory in their own hands, and finally defeated Sporting Lisbon 2-0 away to achieve the club's 100th win in the Champions Cup, becoming the fourth team after Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and AC Milan to reach triple digits in the top matches of European clubs, and remained unbeaten in the first game of the Champions League in the past 11 seasons with 7 wins and 4 draws. It also ended Sporting Lisbon's previous record of seven unbeaten matches at home against England clubs.

This game is both in terms of the scene and the technical statistics. Manchester United didn't take advantage of anything and had twice as many chances of hitting the inside of the goal as their opponents.

Throughout the game, Manchester United showed a relatively weak and low-key appearance. It was only in the final stage that the passive situation was reversed, and it was only with Ronaldo's flash of inspiration that he won all three points away from home. However, it finally ended the "curse" of the English team's previous winless game against Sporting Lisbon.

Visiting Sporting Lisbon, in addition to the strong complex of C-Ronaldo and Jonker returning to their hometown to play against their old club, for all Manchester United, revenge is also the special purpose of this Champions Cup opening game.

In 1964, Manchester United suffered a brutal 5-0 thrashing by Sporting Lisbon, which was also the heaviest defeat in Europe to date.

"The former Zhou Lang is here again." With the countdown on the retirement calendar going on every day, no one is more hungry for the Champions Cup than Alex Ferguson, eager to bring it back to Old Traf, and because of this, the Scots' winning heart is clear, Cristiano Ronaldo, Jonker, Nani, Rooney, Scholes, Ryan Giggs, plus Tevez and Anderson on the bench, all the strikers in the United team are on display.

But individual excellence does not mean collective greatness. When the game really began, the Red Devils' previous smooth coordination of attacks was completely gone, and Cristiano Ronaldo's effective "fist embroidered legs" in the Premier League obviously could not deceive his former teammates who were no longer familiar with him; Although Rooney returned from injury, he did his best, but under the collective attack and defense of the defenders of Sporting Lisbon, he looked lonely.

Jonker's performance was also a bright spot as the Red Devils clearly returned to a slump in the Premier League.

Even the usually hard-mouthed Ferguson had to admit at half-time that "the first 45 minutes were very satisfying with the 0-0 draw, in which goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar played a great role, and it was his wonderful saves that prevented Lisbon from several must-score chances." Speaking about the second half, the Scot set goals for his players, "In the first half, the players in the front line were not penetrating enough, and I hope that in the second half they can be improved, so as to create a threatening attack in front of the opponent's goal and finally score." ”

This is obviously also the tactical request and arrangement that the Scots made for the second half of the game in the lounge. Perhaps because he was worried that he would be scolded by the Scots after the game, the golden triangle of Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney and Jonk really increased the awareness of pressing forward in the penalty area, and in the 63rd minute, C-Ronaldo's header sank vigorously, and a fish jumped to the top, and the ball rushed into the net almost parallel to his body. After the goal, Ronaldo did not celebrate wildly with too much fanfare, clasped his hands and kept greeting the fans of his old club, and Ronaldo was only grateful to the team that had cultivated him successfully.

Cristiano Ronaldo's goal not only made Manchester United finally break the deadlock on the field, but more importantly, the confidence of the Red Devils players on the field has increased a lot, and the attack gradually controlled the situation on the field, and the play became smoother and smoother.

The final score is locked at 2:0!

After the game, the outspoken Ferguson made it clear that after winning this tough battle, he has set his sights on the Premier League game with Chelsea in the week, indeed, C-Ronaldo is back in peak form, Jonk finds the feeling of shooting, Rooney returns from injury one by one, Tevez, Nani and Anderson are ready to go, since the start of the new season, for the first time in the Red Devils front, all the strong players are injured, no wonder the Scots are in a hurry to fight with Chelsea.

There is still a month and a half to go before Alex Ferguson will celebrate the 21st anniversary of his arrival at Old Trafford, and the Red Devils have not encountered difficulties and experienced turmoil.

In addition to the fact that he was almost sacked in early 1990 due to poor results and almost did not survive at the end of 2005, Beckham, Roy Keane, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Alex Ferguson have all played out the scene of being a captain and being ousted by the knight, but this qiē is nothing in front of 25 trophies, big and small. However, Ferguson has always had a regret in his mind that he has led Manchester United for so long, winning the Champions League only once in 1998/99.

The introduction of Hargreaves and Nani at the start of the season is the table where Ferguson is aiming for the European Championship. The lord once said, "We only have one Champions Cup in hand, which is too little." I've said many times that we should do better in Europe and last season we were the third time we lost in the semi-finals of the Champions League and we didn't like that. We think we should do better. ”

This is the 12th consecutive season in which Manchester United have played in the Champions League, and the results of the group draw have been revealed. 'It's going to be a very difficult group and I hope the team can get 10 points. It's a tough task, but I think with 10 points in hand, we'll be able to get out of the group. There is another reason why Ferguson wants to win the Champions League, because 2008 will be the 50th anniversary of the Munich air disaster, so the Lord will use a title to commemorate the "Busby Baby" who suffered the misfortune on February 6, 1958.

The opening game of the Champions League against Sporting Lisbon was indeed not an easy game, the Portuguese Super League giants had never lost a record of four wins and three draws at home against an English club, and Manchester United had a poor away record in Europe in recent years, with only two wins in the last 14 games, so not many people were confident that the Red Devils would win before the game. In the first half, Manchester United did play relatively uneventfully, as in the league, the Red Devils were again in the most difficult time to kill a heroic figure to save Manchester United from danger, C-Ronaldo's diving to the top of the former club Sporting Nasbon, also gave Manchester United a crucial victory.

Who is the boss of England? Every time there is a "double red" north-west derby between Liverpool and Manchester United, Reds fans will use the phrase "We have five (Champions Cup) trophies, where are your trophies?" "It's a banner to mock the Red Devils, but one thing United are really better than Liverpool in European competition is the number of games they have played and won in the Champions League.

With today's win over Sporting Lisbon, United now have 100 Champions League wins, becoming the first English club to reach three figures. As Alex Ferguson said after the game: "To win the first game away from home sets a good tone for us!" "I believe that the only belief in the lord's heart at this time is to raise the big ear cup again! (To be continued......)
