The Champions League semi-final kicks off in midweek after Manchester United's clash with Everton, who are also Premier League rivals Chelsea.

Before the Champions League quarter-finals, Gao Xiaodong had said that he did not want to meet Chelsea in the semi-finals, and he would prefer to play Bayern.

However, Gao Xiaodong has also become a crow's mouth, Bayern were closer to promotion than Chelsea for most of the 180 minutes of the game, but it was the Blues Chelsea who had the last laugh.

With a 1-0 defeat at home and a 2-1 comeback at home, Chelsea showed the world his iron, tenacity and consistency.

The Red Devils Manchester United and the Blues Chelsea are just the opposite, Manchester United's football is passionate and passionate, and the two football rivals with completely opposite personalities meet in the semi-finals, which is destined to attract the attention of fans around the world.

Historically, United have faced the London top three in European competitions and submitted to their opponents, while Chelsea have faced Premier League sides in six consecutive seasons with just three wins and three defeats.

The Red Devils' first European civil war in England came in the 1963/1964 Cup Winners' Cup, where they met defending champions Tottenham in the first round. Tottenham, who are in peak form, won 2-0 at home to White Hart Lane in the first leg, but returned to Old Trafford in the second leg with a 4-0 victory. In recent years, the 2007-2008 final was the first time Chelsea had been beaten by penalties, and in the 2008-2009 semi-final, Arsenal were beaten 4-1 over two legs.

Chelsea have played less in European competitions than have faced more civil wars against their English rivals. In the 1970-1971 season, Chelsea won the Cup Winners' Cup, with two 1-0 knocks out of Manchester City in the semi-finals. Since the 2003-2004 season, the Blues have played six consecutive Champions League civil wars, with Liverpool alone meeting five times. In addition to the 2007-2008 final defeat to Manchester United, the Blues eliminated Arsenal 3-2 in the quarter-finals in 2003-2004.

Carlo Ancelotti and Alex Ferguson are world-class coaches, both of whom have led them to three Champions League finals and two Champions League trophies, and any direct conversation between them will be marked as great. In the 1999 Champions League semi-finals, Carlo Ancelotti's Juventus were overturned 3-2 by Manchester United after leading 2-0 at home, thus achieving Manchester United's treble. After that, An Fat had an overwhelming advantage in the game against the lord.

Carlo Ancelotti reversed the tone of the rivalry when he led AC Milan to Manchester United, knocking out the Lord twice, and since taking charge of Chelsea last season, Carlo Ancelotti has only lost a chicken Community Shield last summer. So far, An Shuai has the absolute upper hand in 12 games, 7 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats in direct conversations with the Lord, and he has eliminated the Red Devils in the Champions League twice in the past six years.

Gao Xiaodong and Lampard, Rooney and Drogba, this is the representative of the two teams, in terms of strength alone, the combination of Gao Xiaodong and Rooney and Lampard and Drogba are in between, but in terms of mutual record in the Champions League, Gao Xiaodong led Inter Milan to eliminate Chelsea last season, Rooney snatched a title from Chelsea, Gao Xiaodong and Rooney's record is obviously better than Drogba and Lampard.

This psychological advantage also makes Gao Xiaodong and Rooney have no scruples in speaking.

Wayne Rooney said: Manchester United will conquer Stamford Bridge. Although we played away from home in the first leg, United will definitely attack. We're going to bring the performance against Schalke 04 to Chelsea, we need to improve defensively and I'm sure we can do our best. Chelsea may have been better in the last few meetings, but in the knockout stages of the Champions League we aim to qualify.

Gao Xiaodong said: "Manchester United vs. Chelsea, this will be another peak matchup, although we meet every year, but the Champions League is completely different, in the Champions League semi-finals, it is really bad luck for Chelsea, because it is definitely us who advances." ”

Ferguson's record against Carlo Ancelotti was not good, and he was cautious in his words, "Both teams have the best players, the most experienced coaches and the most complete equipment. However, Chelsea do look more difficult up front, with neither Didier Drogba nor Nicolas Anelka having struggled to score goals this season, and Torres has not yet integrated into the team and it is hard to say if he can make a breakthrough. And Xiao Dong, Rooney, Hernandez are in good form, I think in form, we have the upper hand, but when it comes to strong dialogue, it is the details that determine the outcome and who does the details well, who wins.

Gao Xiaodong and Wayne Rooney's speeches were arrogant, and Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti was also unkind, saying in an interview with reporters: "It was "fate" that we met Manchester United in the Champions League. Although some people thought it would be up to me to continue in charge of the Blues, I wasn't nervous at all. Because I was always the winner against Manchester United, I have a lot of good memories when I played Manchester United, and I believe that this time it will be us. ”

Ancelotti's words annoyed Ferguson, and in an interview with reporters the next day, Manchester United coach Ferguson ridiculed him, "The winter transfer with 50 million pounds to bring in Torres, except for Chelsea, no one will be so crazy, I believe that Chelsea's madness about the Champions League can only let Ancelotti leave early." ”

In response to Ferguson's cold words, Ancelotti did not show weakness, "It's not crazy, it's a dream." When we play Manchester United in the semi-finals of the Champions League, we are one step closer to the final. ”

Ferguson said Torres and Drogba are not in good form and that it is true that Torres has not scored in 10 games since joining Chelsea, with Carlo Ancelotti saying: "I don't care if Torres scores or not, the role of the striker is not just to score goals, it is only about whether we can beat Manchester United and qualify for the final. ”

Ferguson immediately commented on Twitter and Facebook: It looks like Torres is a defensive striker.

And Ferguson's disciples joked below that there is nothing wrong with Drogba being responsible for scoring goals and Torres being beautiful at Chelsea.

Carlo Ancelotti also immediately counterattacked, saying that Rooney is the defensive striker, and Gao Xiaodong is the midfielder goalscorer.

The Chelsea players below ridiculed that Wayne Rooney is an erotic goalscorer, the leading striker of The Sun, and Gao Xiaodong is a striker who is not a serious striker.

On the eve of the match between Manchester United and Chelsea, when the war of words between the coaches and players of the two sides was in full swing, Simon, an assistant to Chelsea owner Abou, wore a pair of sunglasses and mysteriously arrived at Mendes' villa in Portugal.

Mendes was not surprised by Simon's arrival, let alone Simon's arrival, even if Abu visited in person, Mendes would not be surprised.

Because Gao Xiaodong has not renewed his contract with Manchester United, the people who have come to visit Mendes recently are almost like carp crossing the river, and there are countless excuses for visiting, but there is only one purpose, that is, to want Gao Xiaodong.

Mendes and Abou are very familiar with each other, and when Jose Mourinho was manager at Chelsea, Mendes sent a steady stream of his own players to Chelsea. As Abu's representative, Simon saw that Mendes had no nonsense, he directly said that Chelsea wanted Gao Xiaodong, and asked Mendes if he could do this, and the transfer fee, annual salary and other conditions were left to Mendes.

Mendes smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Simon, Xiao Dong has only been in Manchester United for less than a season. ”

Simon smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Mendes, Xiao Donggao has only been at Inter Milan for one season. ”

Mendes said: "But Xiaodong won the treble at Inter Milan, which is the three most important titles, and it is also all the championships he can win in Serie A, and he has no pursuit." ”

Simon continued: "Little Donggao is about to win the treble at Manchester United. ”

Mendes waved his hand again and again: "It's still early, the league may be a little stable, the FA Cup is more hopeful, but the Champions League may not pass Chelsea." ”

Simon said: "Mr. Mendes is insincere, there are 4 rounds left in the league, 8 points ahead, almost winning the championship, the opponent in the FA Cup final is Stoke City, is the championship not stable enough, only the Champions League suspense is a little more, but in the current state, Manchester United has a much greater hope of winning than Chelsea, and now the owner is considering whether to fire Ancelotti." ”

Mendes sighed and said, "Mr. Simon, it looks like I'm going to borrow your good words." ”

Simon said: "Mr. Mendes, Xiao Dong has two championships, more than half of the chances of winning the treble, if you feel that entering the final is not stable enough, it can only mean that Ferguson is too stable." ”

Mendes sneered: "Even if Xiaodong wins the treble this year, I don't think Xiaodong will leave Manchester United, he said that he will help Manchester United surpass Liverpool in an all-round way." ”

Simon smiled slightly, took out a check and put it in front of Mendes, and said: "If Xiao Donggao can transfer to Chelsea, the commission is as you like." ”

Mendez smiled and pushed away the check. "I can't stand it, I don't dare to guarantee you about Xiaodong's transfer, this kid has his own opinions, and I can't control it, you know, last time I wanted him to go to Real Madrid, the platform environment is better than Manchester United, but this kid still chose Manchester United. ”

"You mean we're going to convince Gao Xiaodong. Simon hesitated, not knowing if he was right.

Mendes smiled and didn't speak, some things are still tacitly good, and it's not good to say them.

Simon can be an assistant to Abu, not to mention his ability and understanding, seeing Mendes's expression, he immediately understood what Mendes meant, but Simon's goal to find Mendes was not only Gao Xiaodong, he smiled: "The boss is very dissatisfied with Ancelotti, if the Champions League is out, Chelsea will definitely have to be replaced, I don't know if Mr. Mendes has a candidate to recommend?"

Mendes was slightly stunned and said tentatively: "Mr. Abu wants Mourinho?"

Simon laughed, "Isn't that okay?"

Mendes shook his head and said: "No, now Jose is bent on success at Real Madrid, and now he doesn't want to go anywhere, but Queiroz is not bad, think about it." ”

Simon shook his head and said, "Forget it, Mr. Mendes, we will do the work on Xiao Donggao's side, but we also need your cooperation." ”

Mendes shook his head and said, "Mr. Simon, I have a work ethic, and besides, Sir Alex Ferguson has a good relationship with me. ”

"Okay, I see. ”

Simon patted his head, although he was not able to get Mendes' promise, but Simon understood Gao Xiaodong's current situation and Mendes's attitude, and he was in a very good mood, he didn't talk to Mendes anymore, exchanged pleasantries, and went back to London.
