Chapter 052: The Uncontested Capital (Part 1)

After the results of the draw for the top 16 came out, it immediately caused heated discussions in the media.

Manchester United drew Olympiacos, who is arguably the weakest player in the round of 16, and the English media are lamenting the good fortune of Manchester United and David Moyes.

The Guardian even lamented that even UEFA had joined the fight to save Moyes.

At present, in the 2013/2014 season of the Premier League 16 rounds, Manchester United 7 wins, 4 draws, 5 losses and 25 points, ranked 8th in the Premier League, which can be said to be the worst league ranking of the Red Devils over the years, you know, last season Manchester United under the leadership of Ferguson is still the Premier League champion, the whole season Manchester United only lost 5 games, and now the season is not more than halfway, it has equaled this data.

In England's Fleet Street, criticism of Moyes is now the norm.

……

In the media criticism, the former Everton manager has two biggest crimes:

One is to fire the championship team left by the old Jazz, and after coming to Manchester United, Moyes also brought his own "local team". In terms of the formation of the coaching team, Ferran, Muhrensteen, and Steele left, and in fact Ferguson suggested that Moyes keep the championship assistant team, and Moyes brought Lonsden, Lauder, Woods, and Neville to form his own coaching team. Without Ferguson's golden combination, Moyes relied on his "Tujia Gang" to control Manchester United, and the result was that the dressing room was out of control.

From time to time, the media broke the news of the instability in the dressing room of Manchester United, what Ferdinand scolded Moyes, what Van Persie was dissatisfied with Moyes, what Evra was unhappy with the manager, what Rooney and Moyes did not speak, and what Welbeck did not score again......

……

The second charge is Moyes's cronyism, which led to a mistake in recruiting - Moyes's younger brother, the director in charge of Manchester United's transfer, Moyes is not interested in Jiang Chenxi, and his younger brother has no vision and opinion of the transfer manager, so he directly terminated Jiang Chenxi's transfer negotiations.

Especially the latter one, after the media hype, has long caused great dissatisfaction among Manchester United fans, seeing Jiang Chenxi playing well in the Bundesliga Dortmund, and shining in the Champions League, Manchester United fans are depressed, you know, the old man has been paying attention to Jiang Chenxi for a long time, and Manchester United can be said to be the first team to pay attention to and contact Jiang Chenxi, and the most important thing is that Manchester United is not bad for money, whether it is salary or transfer fee, as long as Manchester United wants to introduce Jiang Chenxi, it will definitely be able to satisfy Jiang Chenxi, With such a goal-scoring goalscorer, fans can not be depressed because of Moyes's personal clumsy vision and Manchester United.

And Moyes's previous assertion that Jiang Chenxi's physical confrontation ability is not good and he can't adapt to the Premier League has long become a joke in football: look at Jiang Chenxi's abuse of Koscielny in the Champions League......

According to the English media, if Manchester United had not managed to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League, Manchester United's hierarchy would have been interested in sacking Moyes.

Now, Manchester United's hierarchy are not optimistic about the team's prospects in the league and they are hoping for the Champions League.

And now, the round of 16 has drawn Olympiacos, which also makes the anxious Moyes very happy: this is a big gift package!

At the Champions League draw, the smile on Moyes's face was widely reported by major media when he saw that Manchester United's opponent in the first round of the knockout round was Olympiacos.

……

In addition, after the draw ceremony for the round of 16 of the Champions League, UEFA also conducted the draw for the round of 32 of the Europa League, with Arsenal, who were relegated from the Champions League to the Europa League, drawing Juventus, the defending champion of Serie A, who were also relegated from the Champions League.

Some media outlets also had to lament that Arsenal's luck was really bad.

However, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said he was optimistic that Arsenal would cross Juventus and advance to the round of 16.

Wenger's attitude has also been supported by some media, their reason is that they are also relegated from the Champions League to the Europa League, but Arsenal has more face than Juventus, Arsenal has three wins and 9 points to be relegated, and Juventus? Looking at Group B where Juventus are located, the second place in the group is Turkish Super League side Galatasaray. How did the Turks qualify? The team ended up with seven points and a goal difference of minus six. However, that didn't prevent them from qualifying for the knockout rounds while sending Juventus out of the tournament.

Therefore, Arsenal still has the confidence.

On December 21, 2013, the Bundesliga will welcome the final round of matches before the winter break, which is the 17th round of the league.

Borussia Dortmund's opponent is Hertha Berlin.

Berlin, the capital of Germany and the largest city in Germany, has a long history of more than 750 years, is the political, economic and cultural center of Germany, and is also an important transportation hub on the European continent.

Today, Berlin is a major industrial area in Germany, and it is also an important transportation hub on the European continent, and the beautiful Berlin attracts a large number of tourists every year, coupled with the "Berlin Film Festival" and the "Berlin Philharmonic", etc., making it also a cultural center, and the experience of hosting the 1936 Olympic Games and the 2006 World Cup finals has also made Berlin occupy a very important position in the sports world, and now the German Cup final is also played in the magnificent Berlin Olympic Stadium, but, Germany's largest city is a football desert.

Almost every capital in the world has one or more football clubs that match its status, such as Madrid, where Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, two major La Liga powerhouses, and new forces such as Getafe; London has Arsenal and Chelsea, as well as Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, Charlton Athletic and other clubs; The city of Rome has two Serie A powerhouses, Rome and Lazio; Although Paris Saint-Germain has a short history, its honor pool also has a heavy European Cup Winners' Cup; Amsterdam has Dutch football flags like Ajax......

Even in Asia, Beijing Guoan, FC Tokyo and Seoul FC have also entered the AFC Champions League knockout rounds, but in Berlin, there is no football club that can handle it, Hertha Berlin is currently in the relegation zone in the Bundesliga, and the relegation situation is in jeopardy, while Union Berlin is more mixed with the Bundesliga B and Bundesliga, Berlin is perhaps the most uncompetitive capital in the football world.
