Chapter Seventy-Four: Two Consecutive Draws (II)

The fierce battle between the two sides reached the end of the game, but unfortunately, although the scene was tense and exciting, until the last minute, no goals were scored.

Although Manchester United, who had the advantage in numbers, was quite anti-friendly in the last ten minutes, and once the company was very close to the goal, Kaka's volley was blocked by the post, and in the end, the game ended at 2; The score of 2 ended.

Manchester United have once again picked up a draw, with one win and two draws in their last three away matches. This result can be said to be very average, but when you think of the teams against you, Chelsea and Liverpool, who are strong, can keep their unbeaten record, this report card can be said to be reasonable.

At least in direct dialogue with rivals, United did not pick up two points, but their opponents failed to take advantage of him.

Similarly, Liverpool, who only picked up one point in this game, can be said to be lucky, but also unfortunate, they originally closed the gap of two points in an attempt to go further in this game, but unfortunately, Manchester United did not give them this opportunity and maintained an unbeaten situation.

The reason why they are unfortunate is because after this game, Arsenal, who are ranked fourth in the league, caught up in one fell swoop and rushed to the second place in the standings with a one-point advantage, Liverpool did not lose, but suffered the same "tragedy" as Chelsea, and the ranking was squeezed down one place.

The sandpiper and clam that were staged in the last round competed, and the fisherman profited, and this round reappeared.

Of course, the most depressed is Chelsea, they were ranked second in the league before the last round of play, but first because of the draw with Manchester United and Liverpool will overtake the points, this round Liverpool and Manchester United draw, originally this was a good opportunity for them to regain the second place, but they fell off the chain, at home by Tottenham Hotspur a small victory, the ranking fell further, but let Arsenal ride on the head.

……

The league standings have changed and the standings have changed a lot, but no matter how they change, Manchester United's leading position is still rock-solid.

Ferguson is actually very satisfied with this result, although the league did not continue to soar, but the advantages accumulated in the early stage are enough to make them invincible, plus they stopped at the same time, the competitors have not been able to take a step forward, this is not who suffers who takes advantage, but from the overall situation of the league, Manchester United actually has the upper hand.

Another person who is in a good mood after two league games is Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. Arsene Wenger has long lost hope for this season's league title, Manchester United's lead is so big, and Arsenal are only fourth in the league, even if Manchester United make a mistake, the top team will not be his team's turn.

As a result, I didn't expect that Liverpool and Chelsea took turns to fight Manchester United, and they both drew with Manchester United, while Arsenal took advantage of a wave of winning springs to reach the second place in the league in one fell swoop. Although this position still does not have much hope of winning the league crown, Wenger is relieved that at least next season's Champions League qualification will be retained, and he does not have to worry about being caught up or even overtaken by the team behind him as he did in fourth place, and at the same time, this ranking is enough for him to devote more energy to the FA Cup.

There is little hope of winning the league and Arsene Wenger has naturally placed his only hope of winning the trophy in the FA Cup. Arsenal have also reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup, and in such a situation is just one step away, how can Arsene Wenger not be able to think about it?

However, the semi-finals are not so easy to overcome, and the obstacle ahead of them is league leaders Manchester United, who have not tasted defeat in either the league or the domestic cup this season, and it will not be easy to beat them.

However, Arsene Wenger has a lot of confidence in advancing to the final, first, his team's recent form is very good, consecutive wins, the morale and mentality of the players are at a peak, on the other hand, Manchester United, the league has drawn twice, their form is not necessarily very good.

The second point is that Wenger is sure that Ferguson's team will not give it their all in the FA Cup semi-finals, at least with reservations - after all, after the FA Cup game, it is the second leg of the Champions League knockout round, although Manchester United got three points away from home in the first leg, but the advantage is not big, there are two away goals, but the difference is only one point, if Manchester United want to secure a place in the promotion, then the focus will undoubtedly be on the subsequent match with Marseille.

One is a team that has won consecutive games and is in shape, and the other is a team that has been in poor form recently, suffered a draw, and then has a "life-and-death battle", which invisibly Arsenal has a big advantage.

Of course, it's one thing to have confidence, Wenger is not a flamboyant person, he is just quietly preparing for the FA Cup semi-final with Manchester United, and he has not made a big fuss in front of the media because he has risen in the league rankings, or because he is confident - he doesn't want to be like Hodgson, who is extremely flamboyant before the game, and then shut up in embarrassment when the game is over.

……

At the end of the day's training, Fan Bizhuang and Kaka returned home together.

Originally, Fan Bizhuang went to Kaka's house to eat again tonight, but when he saw that he was not basking in the sun in the courtyard during the Spring Festival, Fan Bizhuang smiled.

"Isoksen, it looks like I've got a place to eat tonight, ha, go back by yourself, tell Serico, I'll come over tomorrow night to try her Brazilian barbecue."

Kaka also looked through the window and saw someone in Fan Bizhuang's house, and then after thinking about it, he guessed that it must be Molina coming, so he nodded, his face was a little depressed, "That's good, it's best not to come in the future, you are about to use my house as a cafeteria." ”

Kaka has a feeling of being "abandoned", just now he said that he wanted to follow him to the house to taste Caroline's barbecue skills, and when he saw someone at home, he turned his face faster than turning a book, and he directly said that he would not go. What is this taking my family for? Take a turn when you need it, and kick it away when you don't need it - your sister, my house is not a urinal!

"How can I have a friend like you? What's even worse is that I'm still a neighbor with you!? ”

Kaka sighed indignantly twice, but Fan Bizhuang, who was extremely thick-skinned, smiled, waved his hand, and ran back to his small courtyard with a cigarette.

Kaka gave him a gesture of disdain behind him and turned back to his home.

……

Sure enough, Fan Bizhuang pushed the door and entered the room, and heard a sound from the kitchen, the sound of pots and shovels hitting each other sounded from time to time, and the Spring Festival was lying at the door of the kitchen, salivating with a big tongue, looking at the busy figure inside with anticipation.

"Mr. Conterres."

Fan Bizhuang shouted, then put the bucket on the table, looked back at the Spring Festival, then turned his head and continued to look at the kitchen.

"You guy!"

Fan Bizhuang laughed and scolded twice, and Molina walked out of the kitchen with an apron and two plates.

"Fan, are you back? How's your training today? Okay? ”

Fan Bizhuang nodded, and said while greeting him: "It's okay, it's like that anyway." …… By the way, what kind of food do you cook that smells good? ”

"How's that, it looks good, right?" Molina smiled and put the plate on the table and said, "Didn't you stay in China for a while last time and learn a few Chinese dishes?" Before, you said that I didn't do well, no, I've been practicing recently, and I feel like I've improved a lot, no, I'm back this time, so I'll cook a few and give you a taste...... Hey, wait, Fan, where are you going......"

Molina, who was talking, was stunned for a moment when he saw Fan Bizhuang turn his head and leave, and hurriedly pulled him back.

"Mr. Contrares, I suddenly remembered, I made an appointment with Izeksen, let's go to his house for dinner tonight, Serico has prepared a Brazilian-style barbecue, you will be interested......"

Fan Bizhuang said with a bitter face.

It's no wonder that he has such an expression, in fact, Molina's cooking skills are quite good, after all, he and Felisa have relied on each other for many years, and all the housework has to be done by himself, and over time he has developed a good cooking skill. But that's only for Western food.

When he was in China, Molina studied with the Lin family's cooks for a while, but the things he made were either shocking in appearance or strange in taste.

After Fan Bizhuang was "poisoned" several times, he told himself that he would not eat the Chinese food he cooked even if he was killed. But Molina is still unaware, and seems to be obsessed with Chinese food, and he doesn't practice much on weekdays. No, with the opportunity to show his hand, he immediately made a few "good dishes" for Fan Bizhuang.

"No way!"

"I'm not allowed to go anywhere tonight, just at home! Trust me, Fan, you won't be disappointed again this time! ”

Fan Bizhuang's "distrustful" eyes almost didn't make Molina jump in anger, and regardless of whether Fan Bizhuang wanted to or not, he sat down on the bench with him.

"Alas!"

Fan Bizhuang sighed leisurely, plucked up his courage, took the chopsticks handed over by Molina, and stretched out the dishes on the table with a generous and righteous look.

A moment later.

"Mr. Contesares? This black thing is sweet and sour pork ribs, right? But...... Why is it so hard? Harder than a stone? ”

"And ...... Where there is a sweet and sour fragrance, it's all salty, salty to death......"

“…… What is it? Stir-fried greens? But why is it so sweet...... God, you can't have misplaced sugar and salt, right? ”

"And this ......"

Looking at Fan Bizhuang's exaggerated complaints and complaints, Molina's face was almost dark, he gritted his teeth and stared at his eyes, and said, "Is it really so unpalatable?" ”

"What do you say?"

Fan Bizhuang pointed to the table, Molina looked over, and happened to see the Spring Festival who had bitten the bones, and spit out the bones with a "poof~", and then salivated with a big tongue, and rolled on the ground again and again, with an exaggerated style of "I'm poisoned" and "I'm not helped".

“……”

Molina picked up the chopsticks a little neatly, picked them a few times, and finally caught a bone and put it in his mouth. 、

And then......

"Bah, bah~"

Molina hurriedly spat out the bones and coughed in embarrassment.

Fan Bizhuang couldn't stop laughing, but he saw that Molina had already stood up.

"Mr. Contrerares, are you angry?"

"Angry with a fart!"

Molina said without looking back, "I think it's really a good idea to eat Brazilian barbecue in the evening." Let's go, don't keep Isoksson and them waiting. ”
