Chapter 230: Champions League matchup

The Golden Globe Awards ended with a big victory, and Sara, Spain's No. 1 beautiful journalist, also continued to soar and spend the best day of her life in constant shouting.

At the moment, the entire European continent is on a winter break, and there are no games for the time being, but the transfer market is very hot. The scramble for talent is here and there, and it will be announced when the winter transfer window opens on January 1.

But the Premier League is not on the rise. With all competitions on the fast track and the league on the go, the Premier League giants don't seem to bother with transfers, as long as they use the strong players at hand, they can compete for the title.

For Manchester United, Ferguson was forced to be shy and did not make much moves. In fact, it is not shy, a lot of players have been sold, and there are 30 million pounds, which seems to be put in the bank to earn more interest.

The target United wanted is yet to emerge, David Silva has been examined, but Ferguson believes he is too thin to adapt to the pace and strength of the Premier League, so he will observe for the time being.

During this time, Manchester United have been on a high streak in the league with successive league wins over Sunderland, West Ham, Birmingham, Newcastle, Reading and Portsmouth, continuing to top the table, with the gap between Liverpool and Arsenal stretching to six and eight points.

With the consistency of Manchester United's second half of the fixture, it is already difficult to surpass the league points. And Manchester United's goal difference has surpassed Liverpool and Arsenal by more than 20, an insane number of goals. Chelsea are fourth, one point clear of third-placed Arsenal.

Kaisa's league goals have reached the same level as last season, scoring 25 goals, heading towards the 30-goal mark, and with 13 league games to go, Kaisa can even break the Premier League scoring record.

In the Carabao Cup, Manchester United also won the semi-finals against Chelsea and will face Tottenham in February.

Tottenham are also Manchester United's direct rivals in the next round of the league.

The FA Cup began in January and entered the third round of competition, Manchester United against Reading, without saying a word, swept 4:0 to advance, domineering approach. Kaisa scored 2 goals to lead the win.

In the fourth round of the FA Cup, Manchester United once again played against the Premier League team and Wigan Athletic, and once again advanced with a score of 4:0, which was unstoppable. Kaisa scored 1 goal, but assisted Macheda and Pique to score and performed well.

The FA Cup fifth round opponent will be Blackburn, who are still Premier League teams with a difficult schedule.

In the Champions League, Manchester United locked the first place in the group stage early and entered the round of 16 of the Champions League. However, he was unlucky in the draw and drew Inter Milan, the new overlord of Serie A.

Inter Milan have been dominating the top spot in Serie A for several years and have performed strongly, but they have not been able to make a breakthrough in Europe. Moratti is a little dissatisfied and wants to bring in Mourinho to complete the transformation.

This year, they would have hoped to reach the last eight, but when they met Manchester United, they could only lament the poor signing.

Kaisa is also lamenting the poor luck of the signing. In his previous game, Inter Milan's opponent in the last 16 of the Champions League was Liverpool, but they lost three goals in two legs and Liverpool successfully qualified for the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Manchester United played against Lyon, who were drawn in Ligue 1 in the round of 16, advanced 2:1 over two legs, and faced Roma in the quarterfinals, which was quite easy.

Now, except for the changes brought by Manchester United, the other groups have not changed, but the strength of the team is not the same as before, and the victory or defeat is not certain.

Chelsea will take on Greece's Olympiacos, Arsenal will take on AC Milan in Serie A, Real Madrid will take on Roma in Serie A, Barcelona will take on Celtic in the Soviet Super League, Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga will take on Porto in the Portuguese Super League, and the remaining group will be Fenerbahce and Sevilla going head-to-head.

Sevilla FC are a bit unaccustomed to appearing in the knockout stages of the Champions League. But they are okay, Bayern Munich failed to qualify from the group, which is a big upset.

As January draws to a close, the winter break league is gradually opening.

Chelsea owner Abou still couldn't control his hands and ordered to buy the contents of his shopping cart. He spent £20 million to buy Bolton Wanderers Anelka.

Anelka is a famous prodigal son on the pitch, constantly wandering as a scout, and it is a miracle to be able to stay with one team for two seasons. He moved to Bolton Wanderers last year and left immediately this year, not badly.

Entering February, the moment of full firepower. Manchester United's first game in February, away to Tottenham in the league, Ferguson was bold enough to let Kaisa rest and not give him a chance to play, and then the team failed to win.

Tottenham brought in Woodgate in the winter transfer window, but beat Arsenal from the transfer market. In this match, Woodgate and dashing Gobebatov performed quite well. With Woodgate's legendary opener and more than 12 league goals, Bebatov had a prolific season that could have been a run for the Premier League Golden Boot in any other year.

Although Bebatov has very little movement on the field, he is quite good at handling the ball and is a top striker. Ferguson admired him.

In the first half, a slick stop to the ball extinguished Evans' majesty in an instant, and the United defence was broken and the door was opened.

Manchester United organized a counterattack, and couldn't find a good opportunity for most of the game, plus an open goalkeeper, without Kaisa, it was difficult to score.

In the final moments, United were awarded a corner, and it was the team's last chance. With a wave of Ferguson's hand, everyone went up, and Van der Sar also rushed into the opposition penalty area and prepared to head the goal.

Of course, he is not the lion king Kahn, fighting for the top in the opponent's penalty area, smashing the ball into the opponent's goal with his hand, not knowing what he is thinking.

However, Manchester United did not lose this game, and Mikel saved at a critical moment! He jumped on the shoulders of Tottenham's centre-back and headed the ball into the back of the net to keep Manchester United from losing this season.

In their next game, Manchester United will commemorate the Munich air crash and play Manchester City at home. The game that had to be won, Ferguson gave a must-kill order.

Kai Sa came back in turn, sharpening his knives. And after this game, Manchester United will also compete for the FA Cup and the Champions League, and if you are not careful, you will lose a championship of Pisa, and you can't afford to lose.

Alex Ferguson made the most detailed preparations, and Kaisa was set to start. Manchester City boss Christian Eriksen does not want Manchester United to be the only United and intends to ruin the United memorial ceremony, and he is preparing more thoroughly.

Manchester City have put in their strongest squad and goalkeeper is new England international Joe Hart, who has been in good form of late, keeping two clean sheets in a row. At the back, Richards, Vincent Kompany, Dunn and Bol are all strong players, especially the young Kompany, who has become a fixture in Manchester City's backline.

In midfield, Ireland, Hamann, Jerson and Petrov combined for the game. There are also young people like Zabaleta and Fernandes on the bench, and their strength is not bad, and Sun Xuhai, a player from Huaxia country, sat on the bench. Up front, Vassell and Benjani are ready to attack United's backline.

Ferguson knows the significance of this game best and has arranged a number of veterans, all of whom are inheritors of the Manchester United spirit. Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and O'Shea at the back, and Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Mascherano and Cristiano Ronaldo in midfield.

Kay Sa and Wayne Rooney appeared in the forward line.

In his previous life, Manchester United wore the classic shirt but lost 2-1 to Manchester City at Old Trafford. Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs came on at the same time and played lifelessly, but it was substitute Michael Carrick who scored a face-saving goal.
