Chapter 085(2/2)
The scene was in an uproar!
"God, Zhang is only one point more than Cristiano Ronal!"
"God, it's a pity!"
"What a pity!"
After the screams and regrets of the crowd, the applause rang out, and everyone applauded the same. Even those who supported Cristiano Ronaldo had to regret the banshee in their hearts.
"This is the best era, this is the era of football becoming more and more exciting. Congratulations to Cristiano Ronaldo. At the same time, we also want to say something to Zhang. His performance last year was so wonderful!" The words of the guests at the scene made the atmosphere of the audience reach **.
Even though Zhang Yang was relieved just now, he was still very depressed when he saw that he was only a little more than Cristiano Ronal.
Your sister!
He would rather be a few dozen or so than Cristiano Ronal, so that he would feel more comfortable.
The expression on Cristiano Ronaldo's face was also a little awkward. Obviously, this situation was something he could not have imagined. He was also very unhappy, only one point more than Zhang Yang, which would make him the most vulnerable winner in the history of the World Football Master!
Cristiano Ronaldo was certainly unhappy, of course, he was still glad in his heart. Fortunately, he was one point more than Zhang Yang. If Zhang Yang had one point more than him, he wouldn't have been depressed.
The front page headline of the media on the next day was a photo of Cristiano Ronaldo holding up the trophy of Mr. World Football.
Although I was not depressed, this was a fact that Zhang Yang could not avoid.
So much so that Zhang Yang was unwilling to touch the newspapers during this more than a week.
After returning to Manchester from FIFA headquarters, Zhang Yang immediately devoted himself to the team's training and competition.
On the weekend, the 2008/2009 FA Cup in England kicked off.
Manchester City's opponent in this round is Nottingham Forest.
In this game, Zhang Yang scored his first goal in this ancient event, which was also the only goal in the game. Manchester City defeated Nottingham Forest 1-0 at home and advanced to the next round.
However, Manchester City paid a considerable price to win this game, and the price was Zhang Yang's injury. Nottingham Forest is a champion of England's traditional football style. They pay great attention to fighting. In order to defend Zhang Yang, Nottingham Forest adopted a lethal tactic. Zhang Yang was tackled by his opponent at the beginning of the second half and had to be replaced.
The bad foul by Nottingham Forest player also caused dissatisfaction among Manchester City players. There was a fierce conflict between the two sides, and the referee had to stop the conflict with the price of three red cards and five yellow cards.
Two people were sent off on Nottingham Forest, including the foul player, and Richards was also sent off on the red card for hitting someone.
It can be said that this game was a terrible victory.
After the game, the FA England also issued a ticket for the conflict that occurred in the FA Cup between Manchester City and Nottingham Forest.
On Manchester City, Richards was suspended for three games.
Wright Phillips, who was suspected of having a black foot in the conflict and was hiding deeply, was also "unable to escape" in the post-match video and was suspended for two games.
Zhang Yang's injury and this ticket have a huge impact on Manchester City.
A week later, in the 21st round of the league, Manchester City was tied by Portsmouth away from home, and this draw also made Manchester City miss an opportunity to narrow the points gap with the team ahead.
In this round of league, there was a focus game, with Manchester United facing Chelsea at home, and finally, with the goals of Vidic, Rooney and Berbatov, Manchester United beat Chelsea three-to-zero at home!
This is seen as a strong confrontation in the Premier League, but Manchester United won it very easily. In addition to three goals, the goals blown away before the end of the first half and the goals blown away by Ronaldo in the second half should be good goals. Chelsea's weakness has reduced the excitement of the game.
In the eyes of some people, Scolari may be barely considered a bloody coach. It is under his leadership that the Brazilian team and Portugal team have become strong, but Chelsea in this game cannot see any bloodyness at all. For a weak team like West Bromvic, Chelsea can play suavely, but facing an opponent like Manchester United, if your offense is still slow, if you still only pursue gorgeous footwork and smooth cooperation, you are destined to pay the price for your arrogance.
In fact, in the first half, Chelsea did not lose the advantage. In terms of the lineup, Chelsea had five people in the midfield and only one Drogba in front, which made them one more person in the midfield than their opponents, and they should have more time to control the ball than Manchester United. The midfield was smooth and the pass between several people in a small range was threatening. Unfortunately, they were too reluctant to be their cooperation, and Drogba was in poor condition, and Chelsea did not have many shots that were truly threatening.
Manchester United has a completely different attitude, quickly passing the midfield and directly into the opponent's hinterland. This simple style of play once made them make a lot of mistakes in the midfield, but their efficiency is much higher than their opponents. In the few minutes before the end of the first half, Manchester United formed a situation of besieging their opponents, and it was the goal that this round of small ** allowed them to gain.
"Chelsea's disappointment is more reflected in the second half. They should have chased after when they were behind, but they always played listlessly. The performance of the midfielders failed collectively, and the most disappointing thing was Barack. Chelsea fans should still clearly remember that last season, it was Barack's two goals after his comeback that helped Chelsea defeat Manchester United. Barack also performed well in the UEFA Champions League final, but Barack today is more like Barack in the final of last year's European Cup. In him, he can't see the unique tenacity and bloodiness of German players. He doesn't keep a close eye on people when defending, and makes frequent mistakes when attacking, and he can't get any advantage in confrontation. He is a fake fall and fall. Is Barack really useless?" - This is the sharp words of The Times after the game.
The 3-0 score is the best compliment for Manchester United godfather Ferguson. There is no doubt that the director of their big victory in this game, Mourinho appeared in the stands of this game. Former Chelsea head coach and current Inter Milan head coach frowned. Inter Milan met Manchester United in the eighth of the Champions League. However, it is obvious that Manchester United's performance in this game gave Mourinho a headache, and such a Manchester United is difficult to overcome. Ferguson has brought the characteristics of almost every player to the extreme. The media also praised South Korean player Park Ji-sung in particular, and his performance was almost perfect. In people's impression, Park Ji-sung is physically rich, has a tenacious style, but lacks talent and inspiration. In this game, Park Ji-sung may be the most easily overlooked object for Chelsea players, but Park Ji-sung's interlude, responding, and shooting have caused too much trouble for Chelsea.
In addition, it proved extremely wise to use Giggs. It seems that Giggs' appearance in the main midfielder instead of Carrick's appearance was not a sudden idea for Ferguson. He knew very well that such a veteran could play a role in such a critical game. Giggs has indeed become one of the most active players in the game. He is the key figure in Manchester United's victory in this game, the hub and spiritual leader of Manchester United's team from defense to offense and the spiritual leader.
After the game, the angry Scolari also made a shocking speech, saying that he and Chelsea are not like men.
Of course, when talking about this game, I have to mention one person, that is Mourinho!
Mourinho is back. In Chelsea's match against Manchester United, in the stands at Old Trafford, Chelsea fans and players saw the familiar figure again 16 months later. Under the once familiar rhythm, the madman had no expression on his face, while Scolari, who was sitting in the visiting team seat, was feeling uncomfortable!
Six hours before this game, Mourinho was interviewed by the media. His remarks must have stimulated Scolari's nerves. He believed that if he had not left Chelsea at the beginning, the Blues would have reached the top of Europe. In addition, the implications of the crazy man also meant that Chelsea, who was ridiculed by Scolari, had less blood than his Chelsea. He said that Chelsea is now flashy.
In fact, this game and Chelsea's performance throughout the season proves that Mourinho was not deliberately provoking trouble.
Under the leadership of Scolari, the Blues are almost unable to play a bloody game now and will not reverse the game. Not to mention that the once impregnable Stamford Bridge has become a blessed place to give points to opponents. It can be said that Scolari's transformation of Chelsea was a bit too much. In this regard, he was not even as good as the "rookie" Grant, because the Israelis still understand "Xiao Rules and Cao Sui".
Where is the problem with Chelsea? I'm afraid the most important thing is Scolari's control tactics, that is, the so-called "Brazilian" transformation. This change only brightens people's eyes in autumn. Now it seems that there are three crimes caused by this change: the style of the game is soft, the team has no combat effectiveness, and the players have lost their enthusiasm for the game. In order to cater to Abraham's beautiful football, Scolari lets his team work hard to control the ball first, but the final result is that with only beautiful data, the opponent has begun to lose his former awe in front of the Blues. The away game of 1-3 loss to Roma by the Champions League is a good witness. This loss to Manchester United is another blow.
Since Mourinho returns to London, the media will naturally not let go of the "madman". What topic is the most eye-catching now? It is naturally the result of the selection of the World Footballer who just announced it.
Cristiano Ronaldo won Zhang Yang with an extremely weak point, which also intensified the quarrel over the topic of who is qualified to win the World Footballer's trophy among the two.
"Cristiano Ronaldo is excellent. I am happy to have such a compatriot." Mourinho said, "But if I come to vote, I will choose Zhang Yang. Because, in terms of personal performance, Zhang Yang is better. I am the head coach. To be honest, Zhang Yang is the player that any head coach dreams of."
