Chapter 528 Adjustment
After Manchester United had an advantage of up to 15 points in the Premier League, Solskjaer started chatting with Yang Xiaozhuang on his phone during the rest the next day.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: Yang, our advantage in the league is already very obvious. There is no pressure to defend the championship this season. You are the first to achieve this! On behalf of the club, I thank you for your great contribution!
Yang Xiaozhuang, who was lying on the bed and watching B station through an agent across the ocean, just smiled and replied with his mobile phone: This is what I should do.
Well!
Solskjaer was stunned... It would be difficult for me to chat like this!
After thinking about it, Solskjaer replied with a message: Yang, the league championship is no longer our primary goal now, but I think we can still work hard to win the four consecutive Champions League championships, what do you think?
Yang Xiaozhuang: Yes!
Solskjaer: Then I will reduce your chances of playing in the Premier League, especially in the league before the Champions League. I want you to keep you in a better shape, so I won’t let you play. Do you think it’s OK?
Yang Xiaozhuang thought about it and replied two letters: OK!
Yang Xiaozhuang knew very well that Solskjaer still did not give up on Cristiano Ronaldo. This former world number one star has been back at Manchester United for more than two months during the winter transfer period. He has played for the team in 9 games in various competitions, but... 1 goal and 1 assist!
This is Ronaldo!
Not to mention the superstars of the past, even if they were young people like England and Jack Bailey who didn’t even have many chances to play in Manchester United, if they gave them so many chances to play, their performance would not be much worse. In fact, to sum up... Just this? I can do it too!
In fact, after more than two months of contact with Ronaldo, Yang Xiaozhuang admired this former superstar very much, especially Ronaldo's self-discipline... that was simply strict and self-abuse!
Ronaldo, who had just celebrated his 36th birthday, is indeed one year older, and even wrinkles on his skin have begun to appear, but this former superstar still maintains the unyielding spirit. Yang Xiaozhuang even doubts whether his condition will be so good at the same age... It is possible!
After all, Yang Xiaozhuang owns a stadium, which can bring you physical and technical improvements to your own 24 hours a day. So... isn't it a pediatric department to stay in shape?
However... Seeing that the 36-year-old "old guy" was still trying his best to train, Yang Xiaozhuang felt that if conditions permit, he could still give Ronaldo more opportunities, just treat it as a reward for his efforts!
After getting Yang Xiaozhuang's approval, Solskjaer then went to discuss with the Manchester United coaching staff how to arrange the use of Manchester United's "King" in the next schedule.
This season is about to enter the final stage. Whether Manchester United can still achieve a great harvest this season and whether it can become the second team in history to complete the four consecutive Champions League dominances. All this depends on whether Manchester United's "King" can maintain a good state.
Regardless of whether it is recognized externally, Manchester United is still very clear inside. This team can be without anyone, even without Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but Manchester United cannot be without the "king" of Manchester United. Without Yang Xiaozhuang, Manchester United wants to win the Champions League trophy again this season and become the second team in football history to dominate the four consecutive Champions League... There is no drama at all!
For a professional player, except for a few "monsters" with excellent physical fitness, double games in a week actually puts pressure on the body. Although Yang Xiaozhuang can actually be attributed to the category of "monsters", but... Manchester United coaches are afraid that he will be injured unexpectedly!
So when Solskjaer proposed the use arrangements for Yang Xiaozhuang, the Manchester United coaching staff agreed. As for the current situation in the Premier League, Yang Xiaozhuang really has no need to play. Anyway, the best scorer of this season must be his. No matter how brave Haaland is, he can't catch up with the gap between the two, especially the second leg of the competition with Juventus is about to take place.
On the weekend, Manchester United played away and ranked fourth from the bottom in Xie on Wednesday to play the 30th round of the Premier League. This time, Solskjaer did not arrange for Yang Xiaozhuang to appear. Not only did he let Ronaldo take office, but he also played for a full 90 minutes!
However, although Manchester United beat Xie Zhou Wednesday with a goal away game, the person who scored the goal was not Ronaldo, but from Martial. The French winger stood up again without Yang Xiaozhuang playing.
Ronaldo's performance in this game... is still very bad!
In the post-match rating, Ronaldo scored the lowest 6.0 points in the team, and his performance in this game was worth this point, so there really was no more.
For Ronaldo, who has been practicing hard but always performed poorly after returning to Manchester United, his mentality is getting more and more impatient. After completing 7 shots in the game, only two shots were within the goal frame, and he has not created any threats.
Manchester United won the away game in this round of the league, but Manchester City, who played at home, was tied 0:0 by Hull City in this round. After entering and exiting, Manchester United's advantage in the standings has expanded by 2 points, and now there are 17 more points than Manchester City!
There are 8 rounds left in the Premier League this season, and Manchester City is really getting further and further away from the league championship. Even if it is just theoretically... there is almost no chance!
Fortunately, Manchester City still has the Champions League to compete for. Guardiola and his team are obviously not very concerned about the league after losing to Manchester United at Old Trafford. Anyway, no matter whether they work hard or not, their second place in the standings will not be threatened at all.
In the middle of the week, Manchester United ushered in the second leg of the home game with Juventus, but this game actually has more meanings. After all, when the "Red Devils" defeated the "Old Woman" five goals away, the chance left for Juventus... is almost zero!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Manchester United, who played at home, completely played his strength. In the first half, Yang Xiaozhuang and Martial scored Manchester United gained a 2:0 advantage. After Ronaldo came on the court in the second half, he finally received a cross from Wan Bisaka on the sidelines in 72 minutes, headed the ball to break through the goal of Juventus, and finally the score of this game was frozen at 3:0.
After the two rounds, Manchester United advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season with a total score of 8:0. The English media also expressed their optimism about the "Red Devils" defending the Champions League. Of course, they hope that Manchester United can win the Champions League trophy again, so that they will have more topics to discuss and even set off a huge wave of the "Red Devils Dynasty"!
What made the English media even happier was that in the other two games played the next day, Manchester City defeated the Mad Attack 3:1 at home and reached the Champions League quarter-finals with a total score of 7:2.
After the "Blue Army" Chelsea returned to his home court, they encountered a crazy counterattack led by Mourinho. They even lost the game in the end. Fortunately, the final score of this game was 0:1, and Chelsea still eliminated the powerful Paris Saint-Germain with a total score of 2:1!
This season's Champions League quarterfinals... Premier League teams occupy three seats, which is of course a happy thing for English football.
But what makes people speechless is that in the quarterfinals, except for three English teams, the rest are all Spanish teams!
In the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season, there were five teams from Spain!
Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Valencia competed in the Champions League through normal channels and reached the quarterfinals step by step. However... Sevilla got the Champions League ticket after winning the UEFA Cup last season, and they actually passed the Champions League group stage and defeated Leverkusen from the Bundesliga in the first round knockout round, and entered the Champions League quarterfinals this season.
Now the English media was not happy. Instead, Spain's football and replacements shouted slogans such as "Spanish football will rise again" and "The era of Spain is coming again".
