In the evening, after a full day of training, Manchester United's Carrington base was already empty. Only the head coach's office on the second floor was still lit.
Head coach Ferguson, two assistant coaches Mike Ferran and Rene Mullenstein, and scout Martin Ferguson and others were all sitting in this small office, on the TV opposite them, A lottery is being broadcast live.
The lottery of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals took place in the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
The semi-finals of the Premier League have reached the quarter-finals with no danger, and the remaining four teams are Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, Barcelona in the La Liga, Villarreal and Porto in the Portuguese Super League. All of Inter Milan are in the hands of Manchester United.
Ferguson ’s team just beat Mourinho ’s Inter Milan 2-0 at home. In the first four minutes, Vidic opened the record for Manchester United. Rooney assisted Cristiano Ronaldo again next time after the second half. city.
The UEFA Champions League final will be held in Rome, Italy. As a result, the entire Serie A team has been wiped out, which is indeed a bit embarrassing.
Bruno Conte is the general manager of Rome, as a representative of the venue of the finals as a guest of the draw.
The first to be drawn was Villarreal, and the opponent drawn by the yellow submarine was Arsenal from the Premier League.
Pellegrini's team once again entered the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and the Chilean engineers' admiration ability is admirable.
Since the Champions League quarter-finals have no rules of avoidance in the same country, the probability of the four Premier League teams meeting is very large, and Liverpool met Chelsea. The embarrassing situation of the semi-finals.
Manchester United drew Porto and Barcelona drew Bayern Munich.
In the upper and lower half of the draw, Liverpool and Chelsea, Manchester United and Porto were divided into the first half, Villarre and Arsenal, and Barcelona and Bayern Munich were divided into the second half.
...
As soon as the draw came out, everyone in Ferguson's office took a breath.
"What bad luck did we have this season? How did we meet Liverpool wherever we went?" Martin Ferguson was a little angry, and even suspected that this was not intentionally arranged?
Even if you meet in the League Cup final, it is customary to meet twice in the league. In the FA Cup, even the UEFA Champions League.
According to the current situation, the probability of Liverpool defeating Chelsea is very high. Manchester United eliminated Porto. There is no suspense. The two teams met again in the Champions League semi-finals. That is a replica of last season.
Last season, Manchester United eliminated Liverpool, but it caused great controversy, and met again this season ...
Ferguson was silent first, because he knew that it would be meaningless to discuss these.
Although every year after the Champions League draw, there will always be rumors outside, nothing more than saying that UEFA will arrange who is with whom, or who will be done, but these are just the comments of the media and fans.
As the manager of Manchester United, Ferguson is very clear that there are eight teams in the Champions League quarter-finals draw, and it is no surprise that anyone meets, and Manchester United and Liverpool are divided into the same half, which is also not surprising.
The reason leading to Manchester United's frequent encounters with Liverpool this season is very simple. Both teams have achieved good results this season, especially Manchester United, who have actively scored in the cup, which will inevitably be encountered.
"The next league will be more important!" Ferguson said lightly.
The other three in the office were all stunned for a moment, then immediately understood.
Who said no?
Not to mention the Champions League, after all, the next quarter-final knockout, whether Manchester United and Liverpool can both advance, it is still unknown, Chelsea and Porto are not fuel-efficient lamps, there may not be a chance of upset.
Even if you really go hand in hand, it's the end of April and the beginning of May.
Even the next game of the FA Cup semi-finals on April 19 will have a month to go.
But the problem is that Manchester United has played Liverpool twice this season and lost in both games.
The game in the 29th round of the league is not only a three-point game, it even represents the Premier League title to a certain extent. Manchester United can only hope to reverse it if they win Liverpool at home.
Struggling to counterattack in the end, this is Ferguson's always good show.
But if they draw at home or even lose, it will be a painful blow for Manchester United.
Not only the league, but also the FA Cup semi-finals, and the next Champions League matchup.
Although these games did not have any connection with each other, the twenty-ninth round of the league was undoubtedly a start.
Has lost an away league, lost a midfield final, at Old Trafford, Manchester United cannot lose.
Not only can't you lose, you have to win, you have to win, and you have to win as much as possible, and win morale.
...
"Guess, what will Benitez play?" Ferguson asked tentatively.
The three present were all dumb, obviously not knowing where to start to answer this question.
Benitez has always been good at winning oddly, and the use of troops is strange, and recently Liverpool's status has been red and purple. Yang Yang staged a hat trick in the second round of Real Madrid. This time it was a real goal hat trick.
This Chinese has completely gone crazy this season, and the Champions League has scored nine goals.
The Sunderland game was not played, but the FA Cup was played, and the performance was very good.
Mike Ferran looked around, hesitated, and said: "I paid attention to the two games of the FA Cup and Real Madrid. Yang Yang came off the bench for one game, but only played for 60 minutes. So I guess he must still be. "
Seeing Ferguson nodded approvingly, Mike Ferran went on to say: "Croach's tactics are very useful. I guess he should continue, so Liverpool's most likely tactic is to let the Trident."
Yang Yang on the left, Crouch on the middle, and Kuyt on the right. This is Liverpool's striker combination for the past three years. It has made outstanding achievements for Liverpool, and it has performed very well.
"That's a little trouble." Ferguson said with a frown.
Although the match against Inter Milan was two to zero, it seemed that there was no danger, but in fact it was very thrilling.
Mourinho is a very savvy guy. He let Balotelli play the left-wing position, using the speed of the Italian striker to take turns behind O'Shea. It was awkward to play O'Shea. If it was not the start, he would lead. Probably will lose the promotion right in the hands of Inter Milan.
After the game, Ferguson attacked Manchester United's defense after leading, thinking that it was suicide.
If Benitez let Yang Yang play the role of Balotelli, this is undoubtedly possible.
And be aware that Yang Yang is not Balotelli. His ability to seize the opportunity is stronger than Balotelli, faster, and the breakthrough of the ball is sharper. This will become a nightmare for Manchester United.
In fact, in the League Cup final, Yang Yang is always hitting this area between O'Shea and Ferdinand, and always after hitting, it is estimated that this also gives Mourinho some reference.
These are Manchester United's back lines, and so are Ferguson's trusted people, with little room for change.
According to common sense, the back line does not move and the midfield can be adjusted, but the problem is that there is now little room for Manchester United to adjust the midfield.
Carrick has a lot of problems. He has never been a defensive tycoon. Organization and passing are his strengths, but now he is Manchester United's most thriving midfielder. But who can be his partner?
Scholes was thirty-four years old, and against Inter Milan, Anderson was young, but too irritable, and he used to be a midfielder. It was not particularly easy to transform into a midfielder. Fletcher was good. Defensive ability is also better, but Ferguson is not particularly at ease with his recent state.
There was originally an Irving Hargreaves, this is a midfielder who Ferguson has high hopes for, but now it seems that after joining Manchester United, this player did not show the level he was in Bayern Munich. Expecting Hargreaves and Carrick's double-back combination, they also failed.
The only good news is that the two Manchester United defenders Ferdinand and Vidic's partners are as steady as ever.
If even these two central defenders collapse, Ferguson really doesn't know what Manchester United will look like.
"There is not much time left for us. Everyone should study and study, and tomorrow afternoon they will practice defensive tactics." Ferguson said solemnly.
This game is not only related to the future of the Premier League this season, but will also determine the next FA Cup and even the situation of the Champions League. Manchester United will win Liverpool at home anyway.
And if you want to win Liverpool, you have to freeze Yang Yang.
"Never give him even a little chance!" Ferguson said grittedly.

Hello!
To the west of Manchester and Sefton Park in Liverpool, Yang Yang sneezed in his living room.
On the sofa, Su Ye, who was sitting in his arms, saw him, quickly got up, took a paper towel from the coffee table, and handed it to Yang Yang's hand.
"Nothing, accidentally sneezed when I wanted to laugh." Yang Yang smiled happily.
Is there a direct relationship between wanting to laugh and sneezing?
Su Ye is baffled, but Yang Yang is sometimes strange, and she is used to it.
"I think you are quite satisfied with the result of this lottery." Su Ye said.
Yang Yang smiled and said nothing, he really felt pretty good.
Chelsea's strong dialogue performance this season is really very bad. In the face of the semi-finals, it was only a draw, and the others lost.
In the face of such opponents, as long as Liverpool plays steadily and without major mistakes, the possibility of promotion is very high.
As for Manchester United ...
Yang Yang sneered, his eyes flashing a bit.
Last season's semi-final, Liverpool fell at the foot of Manchester United, this season just gave the Red Army a chance to revenge.
Yang Yang was very experienced in playing O'Shea and Ferdinand.
