On May 18, in the final round of the 0708 Serie A season, before the kick-off of the away match with Parma, after Inter Milan's proposal, the two sides collectively observed a minute of silence on the pitch, and the whole Inter team wore a black veil.It was the first team from Europe's top five leagues to pay tribute to the victims in the most solemn way.A few hours later, in the far northeastern part of the Iberian Peninsula, A Coruña, led by Chen Tao and Li Weifeng, also wore black veils.That's enough, each team has different ties to China.China needs goodwill, no matter what.With this activity as a symbol, the disaster relief activities of Wang Ai and other overseas legions have come to an end for the time being.Even if all aspects of the country are still going on, such as CCTV's fundraising party, there are very few things that overseas people can do.The huge pain needs time to heal, and it also needs the wonderful performance of the athletes to slowly dilute it.Before this game, Wang Ai's heart was very strong for a while, but it was Xu Qinglian who slowly calmed down after several comforts and persuasions, and refocused on the court.This week, the five major leagues decided the champions one after another.In addition to Inter Milan in Serie A winning the championship in four rounds in advance, Bayern in the Bundesliga won the championship in three rounds in advance, Real Madrid in La Liga won the championship in one round in advance, and Lyon in Ligue 1 won the championship in the last round.But the most interesting thing is the Premier League, specifically the battle between Chelsea and Manchester United.In the past two years, Manchester United has a neat lineup and Ronaldo, a rising star, even if Chelsea has strong funds and a scary lineup, but the old man's little hoe is also swinging fast.Last season, Mr.
Roman and Coach Jose barely cooperated to maintain Chelsea's strength in the end, and then they could no longer hold it back.Originally, the old gentleman thought that spring was coming for Manchester United, but he didn't expect that Jose's departure and Mr.
Roman's rush unexpectedly liberated and inspired the team's top scorer.As a result, Wang Ai finished the first half of the 0708 season with the enthusiasm of participating in the World Cup finals, and after he left, various media generally believed that he alone won at least 10 league points for Chelsea!
Wang Ai finally left, but Chelsea also started the second half with an eight-point lead over Manchester United.Spring at Manchester United is indeed here, but it's so cold!
There is a dilemma in front of the old man, Manchester United and even Cristiano Ronaldo: to keep the league or the cup?
Which one does it really mean for Manchester United's revival?
The Champions League is of course more important than the Premier League, but with so many strong players in the Champions League, it looks relatively easy to win the league title given Manchester United's resilience in the league.One is a one-step process, and the other is a phased one.In the end, the old lord made up his mind while scolding: I want both!
So after Wang Ai's figure disappeared in the Premier League, Chelsea and Manchester United launched a desperate competition, and every round and every game was thrilling.But Chelsea, who were expected to lose Wang Ai and would not be able to fight, were unexpectedly tenacious.In hindsight, Mr.
Roman's accumulated strong family foundation, Grant's wise retention of the integrity of the existing tactical system, and even Terry's counterattack on Jose at a critical moment contributed to Chelsea's completion of the replacement as soon as possible.In short, Chelsea did not lie down, but in a pattern of "player autonomy", unexpectedly won consecutive games, and even not only maintained an 8-point advantage, but also widened the point difference.In the round of 21, 22, 23 and 24, both sides won, 25 were drawn, and in the round of 26 on February 10, Chelsea drew with Liverpool, but Manchester United lost to Manchester City, and the difference was stretched to nine points.The old man is a person who does not admit defeat, and when he is 8 points behind, he gritted his teeth and chased for two months......
Didn't catch up.Ferguson is also a cunning and wise man, and he knows that if he continues like this, maybe Chelsea will not be in a good way, and Manchester United, which has been chasing and can't catch up, may collapse first.In addition, the first match between the Champions League quarterfinals and the French giants Lyon is coming, so a new deployment has been quietly made: play rotation!
If you don't rotate, there are 12 games left in the league, and the difference of 9 points means that Manchester United have 3 more wins than Chelsea, and Chelsea have not lost since the second half!
Even because of Wang Ai's crazy goal in the first half, Manchester United's 3 wins were not enough!
If you want to do anything, you probably won't get anything in the end.The old lord was forced to do this, and he could only drink red wine and scold "hateful Russians" twice, while obediently adjusting the center of the force.But when he moved, Chelsea immediately noticed it, so they followed suit.However, that doesn't mean Manchester United don't have any ideas in the league, but what if?
Even if you actually give up, you have to put enough pressure on Chelsea to make life so easy for the Russians!
So the two sides are looking forward to the results in the Champions League, and on the other hand, they are also fighting openly and secretly in the league, 27 rounds, Chelsea draws, Manchester United wins, and the difference is 7 points.In the 28th, 29th, 30th, 31st, 32nd rounds, both sides won, and the gap is still 7 points.On April 5, in the 33rd round, Chelsea won, Manchester United drawn, the difference was 9 points again, and there were only 5 games left in the league.This time Ferguson was completely desperate, although with the depth of the squad can still play the last few league games, but what is the use?
In 34 rounds, Manchester United won and Chelsea drew with 7 points.In the 35th round, Manchester United drew and Chelsea won, with 9 points.That way, unless Chelsea lose their last three games and Manchester United win all of them and have a goal difference of no less than seven in each game, the big picture is settled.By this time, United, both the coach and the players, had completely given up and focused on the two Champions League semi-finals on April 23 and April 29, as the opponents were the mighty Barcelona.There is no room for Manchester United to think about it anymore.So in the 36th round of the Premier League between these two games, Manchester United and Chelsea won 2-1, thus winning the league title two rounds ahead of schedule.A few days later, Chelsea beat Liverpool in extra-time to reach the Champions League final.At this time, the tired two sides involuntarily regarded this Champions League final as the "extra time" of this year's Premier League.Chelsea want to keep Manchester United down once and for all to build a dynasty, while United need to pull back a game and keep their hopes alive.In such a tense and suffocating competitive landscape, the old man naturally can't take care of many things, such as helping his beloved disciple Ronaldo to accumulate "points" for two awards.Because of frequent rotation and obedience to tactical requirements, after the last round of the Premier League on May 11, Ronaldo's goals remained at 27, ranking second with a difference of 7 goals.And the top scorer still belongs to the person who has been away for half a season!
