Back in Manchester, the Premier League is back, and Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City have again won.
And midweek, the League Cup final between Manchester United and Chelsea arrived. The two sides collided for the third time in the season. The first was the Community Shield Cup, Manchester United won the penalty shootout, and the second was at Old Trafford. Manchester United defeated Chelsea 4:2 and successfully chased three points.
This time, it was the competition for the League Cup championship.
Chelsea obviously cares about this trophy, all the main players are on the court, Manchester United is the same. Both sides want to win the championship, even if it is one of the most tasteless events.
At Wembley Stadium, Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo led the team again.
But luck no longer belonged to Manchester United this time. Mourinho was sufficiently prepared for this game. He seized the weakness of Manchester United's defense line to formulate tactics. The 433 formation was successful. The defense of Manchester United's middle road again had problems.
In the regular time, they beat Manchester United 3:2 and won the first title of the season. During the game, C Ronaldo scored twice and Azar icing on the cake. On the Manchester United side, Dong Fangzhuo and Mbappe scored one goal each. Bape also lost two solo shots.
Manchester United's seven-time champion was shattered, and was ridiculed by the entire English media, saying that Dong Fangzhuo was talking big before the season. When the European champions failed again, the myth that Dong Fangzhuo was undefeated in the final was broken.
But there is no way to have a team, that is Barcelona. Barcelona, who visited Old Trafford in the second leg of the Champions League, failed to make a comeback. Although Neymar’s performance was good, Barcelona’s backcourt also had a big problem. It was also a huge loophole in defense. Barcelona was not Chelsea after all. Enrique is not Mourinho, there is still a gap between the two sides, Barcelona is 2:3 in Old Trafford, and finally Manchester United won the game with a total score of 7:2, successfully advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals.
The pain of losing the League Cup has quickly passed. After all, the League Cup has won so much. Manchester United fans and players have long been rare. They care about the league championship and the Champions League. Especially in the Champions League, the more you get, the better. Manchester United don’t have more Liverpool in the Champions League yet. Would you like to win more?
Four vs five, even one more was just a draw.
So basically no one is sad.
At 12 noon on March 18th, local time in Switzerland, the draw of the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League 2015-16 season will be held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
After the last four games of this week, the UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals this season are all over. The four games that ended last week all showed a double play pattern. Chelsea both beat Paris Saint-Germain at home and away. Real Madrid won Rome 2-0. Wolfsburg and Benfica also defeated Ghent and Zenit Saint Petersburg. Advance to the next round. In this week's game, Manchester United doubled Barcelona, Bayern Munich eliminated Juventus after extra hard work, Manchester City successfully defeated Dynamo Kyiv, Atletico Madrid threw a thrilling victory over Eindhoven and the Champions League. The top 8 was born.
In the quarterfinals, the Premier League team occupies 3 seats, which still reflects their overall advantage. In addition, two teams in the Bundesliga and La Liga reached the quarter-finals, the Portuguese Super League only occupied a place, Serie A was wiped out.
According to the Champions League lottery rules, there will be no circumvention principles in this quarter-final lottery. Teams in the same league and teams in the same group may meet in a narrow road, which will greatly increase the enjoyment of the game.
Because there is no circumvention principle, teams in the same league have the possibility to meet, and the Premier League teams occupying three seats are likely to meet in advance. Of these, the most anticipated of course is the early encounter between Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City. If the three championship champions really meet in advance, this season the Champions League will usher in the first. In addition, if the Madrid Derby staged in advance, it will also become the most eye-catching event in the quarter-finals.
This season's Champions League quarter-final giants gathered, strong dialogue is inevitable. In addition to the previously mentioned Spanish national derby, the duel between other powerful players is also worth looking forward to. As the favorite to win the championship, Bayern Munich has just eliminated Serie A single Juventus, regardless of whether they encounter the Premier League top three or Real Madrid, will cause widespread concern.
There are strong and powerful, and naturally there are no shortage of "weak travellers." For the first time in the history of the Wolfsburg team, they reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League. They are also regarded as the best opponents. In addition, Benfica is also an opponent that other giants hope to meet. Can these two teams make a miracle and advance to the semifinals? It will also attract attention.
According to the schedule, the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season will start on April 5, 6 and April 12, 13 and the draw of the semifinals will be held on April 15 and the two rounds of the semifinals will be held on It will take place on the 26th and 27th of May and the 3rd and 4th of May, and the final will be played at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy on May 28th.
Ferguson did not go to Nyon, Switzerland, only Sandezi used to participate in the draw. For Ferguson, he no longer cares about which opponent he meets. The only goal is to win the championship, all to defeat all opponents.
In the end, the result of the lottery is not ideal...
Wolfsburg vs Real Madrid
Bayern Munich vs Benfica
Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid
Chelsea vs Manchester City
Although not ideal, but better than Chelsea VS Manchester City, because Messi and Ronaldo met again.
Manchester United playing Atletico, it's okay...
After all, it is easier to deal with Gretzman than Messi and Ronaldo. Although not as good as Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
In the Champions League odds, Cristiano Ronaldo's Chelsea rose to first, after all, they beat Manchester United to win the League Cup last week, and Manchester United ranked second, Bayern third, Atletico fourth, Real Madrid fifth, poor Manchester City , Just ranked sixth...
However, such things as the Champions League are not accurate, only know after playing the game.
In terms of the odds of the best shooter, Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo go hand in hand. Although Ronaldo scored many goals in the Premier League, Dong Fangzhuo scored many goals in the Champions League, so Ronaldo did not have any advantage.
They only hope now that the best result is to meet again in the final...
Messi didn't understand it very much. He said in an interview with the Times, "Everyone is not optimistic about us, but there is not much pressure, but why are we the weak side? I don't quite understand. Maybe When the results come out, many people will be disappointed. Manchester City have lost only two games this season."
"However, Leo, the two goals you lost, one for Manchester United and one for Chelsea, doesn't that mean anything?"
"Of course nothing can be said, these are the past, history, and the new game is a new history!"
Messi certainly won't lose...
Instead, it inspired his fighting spirit even more. In the weekend league, he led Chelsea to a 5:0 victory over Stoke City, and he also staged a hat trick, but Manchester United and Chelsea did not show such a state, they only 2:0 take their opponents. However, none of the three teams encountered much difficulty.
The fourth team, Liverpool, though stumbled, but they also won the Tottenham team. This also indirectly helped Arsenal and Southampton, the fifth Arsenal and the sixth Southampton won, and opened the distance to Tottenham.
This season, Arsenal don’t seem to want to fight for the four lunatics anymore. They have fallen into just wanting to spend their time in the UEFA Cup... But the two teams are not far from the fourth Liverpool, only Only 5 points away, the next round of Arsenal will face Southampton at home, maybe it will be a storm...
Sure enough, Southampton defeated Arsenal 3:2 away, overtaking their points and climbing to the fifth position, but at this time, Liverpool actually lost to the penultimate of the league on the road, Southampton really Has caught up and is only 2 minutes away from Liverpool!
"It's incredible." After the game, Southampton captain Gerrard was very happy. He has almost forgotten Liverpool now, and he played happily in Southampton. "Being able to catch Liverpool makes me very happy. Each of us I want to participate in the Champions League."
"If there is hope to overtake Liverpool this season, then I can only feel sad for Liverpool."
At the beginning of the season, few people were optimistic about Southampton. They thought that the selling strategy of Sun Jihai and Dong Fangzhuo was a waste of money. It was impossible for a group of veterans and veterans to lead the youth army to kill them. As a result, they have now become the fourth strong competitors. .
Fate is so magical. After crossing the Arsenal level, Southampton will go to Anfield to challenge Liverpool. If they succeed in the challenge, they can overtake Liverpool and rush to the fourth position.
"They won't have a chance."
"Gerard knows how terrible Anfield is."
"We will beat them here and tell them that only Liverpool can go to the Champions League, they can only go to the Europa League." Klopp played a psychological battle.
"After Gerrard returned here, he wouldn't even play football, he would think he was a Liverpool player."
"But seriously, his condition is really good. At the beginning, I should let him stay. He can still help Liverpool. He can also be the captain of Liverpool."
Klopp started playing emotional cards again, but Gerrard no longer belongs to Liverpool. Can he really make Gerrard play abnormally?
The Spinach Company set a tie for this game and did not think Liverpool could beat Southampton at home.
"The glorious heart can make Southampton beat Liverpool at Anfield, come on!" Dong Fangzhuo also shouted for Southampton on Twitter.
"The Champions League is waiting for you. Everything in the future is not a dream! Beat Liverpool! Captain Southampton!"
He also @了杰拉德, specially reminded him that he is now the captain of Southampton, not Liverpool!
Southampton fans also responded, leaving messages on Dong Fangzhuo's social network.
"Yes, Steve, you are now the captain of Southampton!"
"You are doing something greater!"
Seriously, Gerrard's heart is actually very painful, but he didn't say it. If he personally sent Liverpool to the European Union area, it would be Liverpool's sinner...
But there is no way, as everyone said, he is the captain of Southampton, he is also respected and loved here.
He must be professional enough...
This week, the two teams became the focus of England.
Manchester United won the victory first, and then Dong Fangzhuo drove to Anfield to watch Southampton play personally here.
Anfield fans saw Dong Fangzhuo appearing in the stands and immediately sent a huge boo.
He now appears as the boss of Southampton, and appears on the VIP seat, accompanied by Sun Jihai as his companion, as well as Liverpool Chairman, etc...
Even the big boos will not affect his mood to watch the ball.
Both teams are full starters and have no reservations at all.
Gerald walked out of the stadium with the captain's armband, the mood of Liverpool fans was naturally quite contradictory. This is the first time Gerrard returned to Anfield as a player of other teams. I don’t know whether to give him applause or silence. Well, booing is impossible anyway, this veteran has fought here for more than two decades and is still the team's greatest captain.
For the first time, the song "You will never walk alone" came to an abrupt end when Gerrard appeared.
There was a lot of noise in the stands because the fans started to feel pain~EbookFREE.me~I don’t know what to say,"
"He was suddenly very sad,"
"He still carries the captain's armband, but he is not Liverpool captain. But this scene, I can't help making me think he is."
"This feeling is too bad."
"I don't even want to sing a team song because I feel lonely."
"Isn't this what he wanted most in his heart?"
A Liverpool fan expressed his heart like a poem, and also thought about Gerald's heart.
Gerrard stood at the entrance of the player's passage, listening to the familiar song. The sudden interruption of the song also made him choked, as if the strings were broken, and everyone's mood was condensed together.
This is Anfield, which he is familiar with, but he does not belong here, just like the song will suddenly break, without the love of the past!
Ugh……
He deliberately tightened the captain's armband on his left arm, then stepped firmly into the court.
On this day, I belong to Southampton!
"Brothers, be ready to fight!"
His voice was loud and loud, and with his arms raised, he was still full of fighting spirit.
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
Staring at Gerrard, the mentality of Liverpool fans is also changing.
"This is the enemy."
"At least he is an enemy today!"
"Never let Southampton take the victory here!"
Beep--
The referee's whistle sounded, and this striking game finally started. The two sides entered a crazy confrontation from the beginning. Gerrard first gave Liverpool fans a big gift with a foul.
He seems to be really engaged, and has long forgotten the one he used to be.
