The next day, the Manchester United squad returned to Manchester with the Club World Cup trophy at the end of their trip to Tokyo. [To read the latest chapters of this book, please search]

Yang Fan turned on his mobile phone when he arrived at the airport, he sent a safe text message to Fan Bing, last night the two of them were crazy, extremely happy, this morning Yang Fan, Fan Bing was still groggy.

Here, Yang Fan and his teammates were warmly welcomed by Manchester United fans.

When Gary Neville walked out with the glittering Club World Cup trophy in hand, there was a huge cheer from the audience.

At this moment, Manchester United fans feel that they are the happiest fans in the world, and their team is the strongest in the world!

Manchester United are the champions of Europe, they are the champions of the Club World Cup, they conquered Europe and they stood again.

Moreover, it is not only a reminiscence of the glory of the past, but also confidence and expectation for the future, Manchester United now has the best stars in the world, Mr. Xinke, Yang Fan, second place, future achievements are considered not inferior to Ronaldo, in addition to Rooney and Tevez, Manchester United's powerful attack group is enough to make all opponents tremble!

For Manchester United to win the Club World Cup, the European media has also given a lot of coverage and attention.

Even they don't think much of this Club World Cup in their hearts, but, nominally, it's really the top competition between clubs, with European champions Manchester United standing up against the South American champions.

The media is lamenting the strength of Manchester United, this team that dominates the Premier League, dominates the Champions League, and now it has also reached the top in the Club World Cup.

And looking at the current posture, this Manchester United team will still be strong in the coming seasons, and it will not be easy to overturn Manchester United's throne in the European arena.

Some media outlets have even suggested that European football has officially entered the Manchester United era.

23 years old, Yang Fan, 20 years old, Wayne Rooney 23 years old, Tevez 24 years old, Manchester United has an attacking line that is the envy and fear of the whole of Europe, and if this attack group can be maintained, the whole of Europe will still be under the strong pressure of Manchester United for years to come......

Someone analyzed it, look at the age of these stars of Manchester United, this is a desperate fact, as this media said, if Manchester United can keep these stars, in the next few seasons, this powerful Manchester United is definitely a mountain that is difficult to shake for other giants in Europe.

At this time, the soap opera for Manchester United stars in the summer was mentioned again, and I am afraid that at this time, many European giants are expecting Real Madrid to make a strong effort in the summer of 2009 and take Cristiano Ronaldo away from Manchester United. ()

Of course, if any of the giants can buy Yang Fan away, it would be the best.

The existence of these two people is the most terrifying thing about Manchester United.

Of course, they also know that this is impossible, whether it is Yang Fan, it is extremely difficult to get Manchester United to agree to sell, it is difficult to nod and let go of any of them, let alone sell both.

Of course, there have always been rumors about the existence of a secret agreement between Zài, but it is difficult to distinguish whether this rumor is true or false.

When Manchester United participated in the Club World Cup in Tokyo, the Premier League was also in full swing, and the 18th round of the league had already been completed.

In this round of the league, the London team and the Liverpool team went head-to-head.

Chelsea were held to a 0-0 draw away from home by Everton.

Liverpool, on the other hand, drew with Arsenal on the road.

Chelsea and Liverpool have only scored one point in this round of the league, in this way, the league eighteen rounds are over, in the standings, Manchester United and Liverpool, who have one less game, are 36 points, the century-old rivals are tied for the first place, Chelsea is third with 35 points, Aston Villa continues to be a dark horse, ranking fourth with 32 points, and Arsenal is ranked fifth in the league with 28 points after being forced to draw by Liverpool in this round.

On the same day Manchester United returned to Manchester, the draw for the round of 16 of the 2008/2009 UEFA Champions League ended in Nyon, Switzerland.

After the group stage, the eight teams that won the first place are Roma, Panathinaikos, Barcelona, Liverpool, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Porto and Juventus. They will face eight teams that finished second in the group: Chelsea, Inter Milan, Sporting Lisbon, Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, Lyon, Arsenal and Real Madrid. The principle of the draw is: the first team in the group is the second in the group, and the teams in the same group and the same football association are avoided. In addition, the team that finishes the group will play home first.

FIFA's first draw was the signing of Chelsea and Juventus. The two sides had never met before in Europe, and this was the first time in history. Bayern Munich, the only seed of the Bundesliga, drew Sporting Lisbon, which should be said to be a good draw.

Of the two La Liga teams, Barcelona have the best signing, as they will face Ligue 1 champions Lyon, while Real Madrid will face cup champions Liverpool. Arsenal's match with Roma is also a lot of highlights.

Manchester United's opponent in the 1/8 finals is Serie A giants Inter Milan, which is undoubtedly the most watched collision. The early meeting of these two super giants added a lot of highlights to the 1/8 finals.

In fact, as soon as the Champions League round of 16 match against Shìfu was revealed, the British media immediately made a big report on it. Most of the media outlets used a sideline "reunion" with Jose Mourinho as a gimmick, but the Times's study of past tables concluded that Liverpool and Arsenal were more likely to qualify.

football365 reported on the draw under the title "Four Big Houses, Four Great Battles". The article mainly mentions the European champions Manchester United and rivals Liverpool and Inter Milan, which also means that they will be caught in a new round of war of words. Manchester United face Inter Milan and we will see Jose Mourinho return to Old Trafford for the first time since leaving Chelsea. Jose Mourinho's former club will face Juventus, who are now chasing Inter Milan's second-placed Serie A side, while 'Old Lady' coach Claudio Ranieri is another former Chelsea manager. The Arsenal-Roma clash will see a third Anglo-Italian matchup, with the Stadio Olimpico also hosting the final in May.

Liverpool, meanwhile, will face a Sergio Ramos-led side. Real Madrid, who are rumored to have won a record nine Champions Leagues, are in contact with Reds coach Rafael Benitez in anticipation of the Spaniard's arrival.

The BBC pointed out that Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez will return to Spain to face former club Real Madrid. Former Chelsea coach Claudio Ranieri will lead Juventus back to Stamford Bridge in what is now a clash between the second-placed teams in the Italian-English league. Arsenal, like Chelsea, after meeting Roma, meant that the Premier League duo avoided Barcelona as they wished. Jose Mourinho's sideline conversations were reminiscent of his 2004 time at Old Trafford, when Costinha's late goal knocked United out.

The Daily Mail made a one-game commentary: Chelsea vs Juventus: This is the first game to be drawn, former Chelsea manager Claudio Ranieri will face Scolari's division, Chelsea avoided Mourinho in this round, but had a date with the tinkerer. Real Madrid vs Liverpool: According to the rules, Real Madrid could only meet English clubs at the time, but they avoided Manchester United and then met five-time Champions League winners Liverpool. Rafael Benitez will return home and of course former Tottenham coach Sergio Ramos has also been given a chance to refute the accusations made against him by the English media. Arsenal vs Roma, Chelsea played Roma hard, and now Roma are aiming for a final at home, but the Gunners may be more happy to avoid Barcelona in the first round of knockouts. Inter Milan vs Manchester United: vs Jose Mourinho. Will there be red wine after two duels?

The Times, after enumerating the record of past engagements, concluded that Arsenal and Liverpool have a better chance of getting through!

It's an interesting fact that after Manchester United won the Club World Cup, the European media were praising the Reds and believing that they would have a strong dominance in Europe in the coming seasons. However, less than 12 hours later, the draw for the Champions League knockout round came out, and seeing that Manchester United met against Mourinho's Inter Milan, the direction of the media immediately changed, thinking that it would be difficult for Manchester United to get past Inter Milan, and if they didn't get right, they would be killed by Inter Milan.

Mourinho continued his usual self-confidence and arrogant character, he said bluntly after the draw results came out, he is very satisfied, he wants Manchester United as an opponent, because Manchester United has the new footballer, Yang Fan, Rooney, Manchester United is the defending champion, is the best team now, such an opponent is more interesting. He is convinced that Inter Milan will be the one to qualify.

While expressing his anticipation for the game, he was a little cautious, "It's very interesting to meet Mourinho again. Inter have a very good home record over the years, which speaks volumes about their continuity. We know that the most important thing is to stay focused, and our attention is always good in a game like this. ”

At this time, the old events of summer are once again turned up by the media.

As we all know, Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho is very fond of Yang Fan, and wanted to bring Yang Fan to the Meazza Stadium in the summer, but in the end he failed to do so.

"The Times" dug out old accounts and said that it was Ibrahimovic, the number one star of Inter Milan, who did not like Yang Fan, who was also rebellious, and said no to this acquisition, which is why Inter Milan finally decided to give up the competition for Yang Fan.

This immediately attracted huge attention, Ibrahimovic and Yang Fan, both of whom are talented goalscorers, and their personalities are also relatively perverse and unruly, and this collision between Manchester United and Inter Milan is also a king-to-king duel between these two......
