Chapter 981: Public Opinion Kidnapping

The next day, United flew back to Manchester, leaving tactical coach Muhrensteen to watch the Bayern Munich and Chelsea clash with him.

Chelsea lost 1-0 at home to Bayern Munich, and in the history of the Champions League, a team that loses 1-0 at home has less than a 10 per cent chance of progressing, which is a very low probability.

Although in terms of strength, Chelsea is stronger than Bayern, but the outside world is not optimistic about Chelsea, thinking that Chelsea will not be able to get a draw at home, and it is a dream to win Bayern away.

However, football is round, and no one could have imagined that Chelsea, who lost 1-0 at home to Bayern Munich, would be in a big swing on the road, beating Bayern Munich 3-2 in stoppage time to eliminate Bayern Munich by more away goals and advance to the semi-finals, where the Blues will face old rivals Manchester United in the semi-finals.

The Blues were thrilled after the game, saying it was an epic comeback, and that no one was expecting them to qualify before the game, but they overcame the odds to win away at the mighty Bayern Munich.

Frank Lampard said the victory had given the Chelsea players a great deal of confidence, telling them that football is round, and no one knows what will happen until the last minute, believing Chelsea can reach the Champions League final and win the Champions League.

Blues manager Carlo Ancelotti was also a rare madman, he said after the game that the current Chelsea team has the quality to win the title, although the league made a mistake in the front, was pulled down by Manchester United by eight points, but there are five rounds left in the league, Chelsea will not give up, they will hold on to the final round of the league, waiting for a miracle to happen.

In the other quarter-final at the same time, Real Madrid beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 away in the Premier League, and met La Liga giants Barcelona in the semi-finals, who eliminated Shakhtar Donetsk.

The quarter-finals of the Champions League are all over, and the top four are Manchester United and Chelsea in the Premier League, Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, and there is no Serie A or Bundesliga team.

Although Chelsea's promotion was a bit of luck, it was also reasonable, as the situation in European football in recent years has been the rise of La Liga in the Premier League and the decline of Serie A.

After the game, the sports media "Bild", the largest circulation in Europe, commented that although Bayern is unfortunately out, judging from this season's Champions League games, the pattern of the Premier League and La Liga will not change in the short term, and if Serie A and the Bundesliga do not seriously improve their competitiveness, it is not impossible to have a team without the Bundesliga or Serie A in the quarterfinals next season.

England's The Times praised Chelsea's outstanding performance, believing that Chelsea defended the Premier League's honor as the world's top league and were able to defeat Bayern Munich, who are also known for their iron will, in a strong dialogue, and Chelsea already have the strength to win the Champions League.

After the quarter-finals, European bookmakers adjusted the odds of winning the Champions League again, Barcelona caught up with Manchester United with an excellent performance, and the odds of the two teams winning the championship were exactly the same, while Real Madrid's performance was more stable than Chelsea, and they were more favored by bookmakers than Chelsea, as for Chelsea, they played Bayern too hard, and the opponent was Manchester United, so they were the one with the highest odds to win the championship.

After returning from the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Manchester United's attention has returned from the Champions League to the league.

The Premier League is currently in its 34th round and there are five games left before the end of the season, and this round Manchester United will face Wayne Rooney's former club Everton.

If Manchester United can beat Everton at home, they will have hope of winning the title at Arsenal's home stadium in the next round.

If Manchester United can't win Everton at home, it will be terrifying for them, because the next two rounds of Manchester United will play Arsenal and Chelsea, and there will be Champions League semi-finals with Chelsea in between, and if they are not careful, they may lose three consecutive games and lose their current eight-point advantage.

Everton and Liverpool are bitter rivals, so in a sense, Everton and Manchester United are allies, but this alliance is not reliable, and United were almost pitted by Everton in the first round.

In the first leg of the league, Everton expressed his support for Manchester United to win the championship through Wayne Rooney, overwhelming his sworn rival Liverpool, hoping that Manchester United would not fight to the death, but at the last moment, Everton scored three goals in a row and almost reversed Manchester United.

Everton are now seventh in the table and will be keen to reach next season's European competition, while United are eight points clear of second-placed Chelsea and look set to secure the title, with Everton manager David Moyes hoping United will let them go.

This time Manchester United resolutely no longer be fooled, Ferguson told Everton very unceremoniously that this is a critical period for Manchester United to win the championship, and it is impossible to release the water.

The battle between Manchester United and Everton is related to Manchester United's overall situation of winning the championship, but it is the Liverpudlians who are the most nervous, because if Manchester United wins this league title, it will surpass Liverpool in the number of championships and truly dominate England.

Before the start of the 34th round of the league, Liverpool manager Dalglish insinuated that Everton had no desire and was likely to let Manchester United go and help Manchester United win the league title to overwhelm Liverpool.

On the Internet, Liverpool fans are even more crazy, they insist that Everton is Manchester United's little brother, and they give Manchester United points at critical moments, the reason why Manchester United can dominate the Premier League is not how great Manchester United is, how wise Ferguson is, mainly because Ferguson has woven a network of relationships through twenty or thirty years, and Manchester United has won so many championships through his own network.

Manchester United's title rival Chelsea fans are crazier than Liverpool fans, they not only think that there is a Manchester link in the Premier League, the Premier League referee is also an accomplice to Manchester United's championship, Manchester United and Everton This game, the referee is either Manchester United's royal referee Webber or Riley, it will never be Atkinson, Chelsea fans hope that the English referee committee can send a fair referee, so that the Premier League champion is produced cleanly.

Undoubtedly, the public opinion created by Liverpool and Chelsea had a big impact on the game between Manchester United and Everton, and Moyes had to stand up and say to the fans that Everton will not easily concede defeat in this game and will try to end Manchester United's unbeaten record this season.

Ferguson also countered at the pre-match press conference, saying that the rumours were aimed at negating Manchester United's achievements over the years and ruining Manchester United's dream of winning the title this year, and Ferguson called on Manchester United fans and players to put their best foot forward and fight back against the conspiracy theorists who spread rumours with a perfect victory.

Later, Manchester United CEO David Gill also stood up to defend Manchester United's honor, believing that insulting Manchester United's achievements and denying Ferguson is an insult to the Premier League and destroying the best and most successful league in the world.

Then Manchester United players and fans also came out to support Manchester United, and Chelsea, Liverpool fans engaged in a war of words, and for a while, a game that was not very important was hyped into a battle of global attention, achieving the original purpose of Chelsea and Liverpudlian forcing Everton to resist Manchester United.
