Ferguson's "taking a week off" is, of course, a joke and a joke: even if Qin Goode is really the heart and soul of the team, as a professional player, he can't take a leave of absence at a critical moment in the season for the reason of "having to accompany his girlfriend".

It's not going to be a leader on the pitch or a leader in the dressing room – what do your team-mates think when they're doing boring training on the training pitch and fighting their opponents on the pitch and you don't even look at them......

Therefore, Qin Goode still appeared at the Carrington training base on time the next day, and continued to lead the rotation teammates to compete against the main lineup.

After this day's training, in order to send Ether home, he left the training ground very early and did not give himself additional training.

Such an episode made Manchester United's coaches and players finally feel that this kid is still a normal person.

In the evening, the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals came to an end, and the semi-final matchups were also released.

Manchester United swept aside Paris Saint-Germain, a Ligue 1 giant, who wanted to make a difference in the Champions League, 9-3.

Dort swept Barcelona 7-1 with an even more terrifying momentum, known as the "Dort Seven Joys".

Bayern had a slight edge over the two-legged clash with Juventus, and the old lady who returned to the Champions League looked a little uncomfortable and finally lost after some resistance, but the 4-6 aggregate score also showed that Bayern's victory was not easy.

As for the last spot, it was unsurprisingly taken by Real Madrid. It turned out that Real Madrid's opponents were the weakest of the quarter-finals, but the turbulent Galacticos almost capsized: they were beaten 2-0 by Galatasaray at the Devil's Stadium in Turkey, and Real Madrid, who were pushed to the edge of the cliff, finally broke out after returning to the Bernabeu, with a 3-0 comeback.

But it's a little embarrassing to say, Real Madrid's top Cristiano Ronaldo didn't get anything in the two-legged "abuse game", and he kicked off the penalty kick that was supposed to be a big opportunity, which made the Catalan media have a new joke.

The draw for the semi-finals took less than 2 minutes: because there were only two groups......

So UEFA didn't even invite guests, and Infantino directly decided the opponents of the four teams with a flick of both hands.

Goodard's previous hunch did not come true: his Manchester United did not meet his former club Borussia Dortmund, and UEFA put Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid in front of Ferguson and him.

Just sent a No. 7 to retire, and then send another No. 7 home to cry?

UEFA you big badass!

Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich staged the "German National Derby" in the Champions League again after last season......

However, Qin Goode suspects that whether it is a player or a TV audience, everyone should have been aesthetically fatigued, after all, they were about to vomit in the consecutive derbies last season.

But it's a bit embarrassing: when the "Bayern killer" left Dortmund, the Hornets suddenly became a little timid in the face of their old rivals, and this season they only drew two legs in the league and lost to their opponents in the German Cup, because the result of the Champions League may determine whether "the Bundesliga is still Bayern's dominance, or can form a two-person transfer pattern"......

Real Madrid, away and then home, Jose Mourinho, Cristiano Ronaldo......

When Ferguson was on the table, he was even more certain that he would have to rotate his line-up: especially for United's ageing backline, the back-to-back would only break them down.

This is the advantage of the crazy rush for points in the early stage of the league, and in the case of winning the championship in advance, even if all the reserves and U18s are played in the last six rounds, it will not have any impact on the team's results.

Ferguson just needs to focus all his energy on the Champions League and even give up the FA Cup.

Two days later, on 14 April, Alex Ferguson led a heavily rotated 11 players to Manchester City at Old Trafford, with all but Wayne Rooney still in the starting line-up.

However, for the sake of insurance, Ferguson did not exclude the real main force, Van Persie, Qin Good, Valencia, Carrick, De Gea are all sitting on the bench on standby, in case teammates can't win the opponent, these people can be put on the field at any time to solve the battle.

However, neither of them was able to get a chance to play, and even with United rotating their line-up, Roberto Mancini's Blues were unable to pull back a game as they once again netted their arch-rivals' base to officially declare the season empty.

That's right, the four major competitions were empty: the league, the Champions League, the League Cup and the FA Cup, and Mancini finally waited for a call from the club's manager after the game.

"It's a pity, but the club has to terminate your contract," the spokesperson from the Middle East was very annoyed, "We will pay the liquidated damages in full, thank you for the championship you brought us last season." ”

Mancini sighed, and he took the check full of numbers that his secretary had just handed him, and left the blue moon that had made him famous.

After Mancini's resignation, Ferguson did not have the slightest regret or apology: because this guy took the league title from himself last season, and he also killed himself home and away, bringing unprecedented humiliation to himself......

And he didn't bother to care about the feelings of the ruined dog.

He has now put all his attention on his Champions League opponents.

"Real Madrid, the team with the most titles in the history of the Champions League, nine titles, three times as many as ours," Ferguson held up three fingers, "even if they could only stop in the round of 16 every year in previous years, no one doubted their quality, even if Mourinho's backyard is a little shaky now, but they are still a notch above other opponents, I hope you understand the strength of this opponent." ”

In fact, he doesn't need to emphasize it in particular, everyone knows what the name "Real Madrid" means.

In today's football, if there is a hierarchy of clubs, there will always be only two clubs at the top of the pyramid: Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Even at United's peak at their peak, they are hardly on par with these two clubs.

They may be able to beat their opponents in the game, but they will have to give in to their appeal to the top players.

To put it simply, the reason why the two are able to attract players is because they have money.

They were able to shell out more transfer fees than other clubs, so there was no way for the club to say no; They can offer higher wages to players, and bring more commercial contracts and worldwide influence, so the players themselves can't say no; They can also give higher kickbacks to the player's agent, so the agent can't say no.

As for why they have money, to put it simply: first, the government strongly supports, the Spanish government and the Catalan region support Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively, and even provide land for free or at a low price for them to use for commercial development to make a profit, when the club is in debt, the government can also guarantee loans, which is a treatment that teams in other leagues cannot enjoy at all - such as Arsenal, after the new stadium, Wenger can only tighten his belt and sell the captain, and there is no money to buy people; The second is that the club is managed on a membership basis, with hundreds of thousands of members paying tens of millions of annual dues, including a large number of sponsorship fees from local tyrant members, and these members basically do not participate in dividends, and the club's profits are only used to buy players and further develop the team - and the chairman and shareholders of Arsenal also expect to share a piece of the cake from the income from Wenger's sale of the captain at the end of each year, and the transfer fee that can be left to the professor is almost pitiful; The third is the superior status, the Spanish Super League duo occupies an overwhelming dominance in La Liga, and their live broadcasts enjoy the privilege of selling them separately, and with their influence, they sell this copyright to dozens of countries and regions, which is a large amount of income casually; Fourth, excellent commercial development and operation capabilities, commercial sponsorship, advertising endorsements, and summer business competitions are all not small incomes.

In addition to economic reasons, politics, climate, language, culture, and the club's scouting system also have some influence, such as Real Madrid and Barcelona are often the clubs that Spanish and Portuguese native speakers are most desirable for, and almost the entire Latin America, including Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Mexico, is Spanish Portuguese, and it is not difficult to understand that American players such as Messi, Neymar, Suarez, Sanchez, Kaka, and Hernandez are naturally fond of these two clubs.

"The Bernabeu is one of the greatest stadiums in the world, but they are not as fanatical as Old Trafford," Ferguson said, "when Real Madrid can play football that is pleasing to the eye, it is the stage for the players; But if the team doesn't perform as well as it should, it will be hell for the home team's players. ”

Ferguson grinned and bared his teeth: "Mourinho has had a hard time lately, so let's help him get rid of it." ”

The 71-year-old Scottish man may be thinking: when the Portuguese leaves Real Madrid, maybe ...... Can you get him to come over and take over? (To be continued.) )
