Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 323 Mourinho who lifted the ban
With both Manchester United and Arsenal winning decisive victories in the first leg of the Champions League, what was once seen as a chicken competition is now suddenly becoming important. QUanbeN。 The media believes that the two teams can get a feel for each other through this league.
However, to the disappointment of journalists and the media, Ferguson and Arsene Wenger are both veterans, and they do not want to be seen by their opponents in such an inconsequential game, although they have been playing for hundreds of years, there are no secrets to speak of.
In this league held on the 30th, Manchester United and Arsenal both sent substitutes and youth team players, Arsenal still had two or three main players, and Manchester United was simply the second team to play.
However, for Arsenal, this is a rare opportunity, they do not need the main lineup, not to determine the sea god needle Li Huan, but also can beat Manchester United, for the team to maintain a winning record, the next three games are against a weak team like Stoke City, in this way, Arsenal is very likely to complete a season of all the magic record.
Although it is a completely inconsequential game, but because of the miscalculation of the media before the game, during the game, reporters and fans came really a lot, the Emirates Stadium was full for the first time in recent games, and the young players of the two teams were also very excited, playing hotly, but in the end, Arsenal, who still occupied the home advantage, finally defeated Manchester United 2:1 and completed the double of Manchester United this season.
After this game, Arsenal focused all their thoughts on the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, although they won 3:1 away, which has no precedent for a reversal in the history of the Champions League, but Arsenal still did not dare to be careless, their opponent was none other than the madman Mourinho, known as the second madman of God, although Mourinho was called a madman, but not by madness to get a reputation, his fame is really piled up with the championship, although the possibility of promotion is very small, But according to Mourinho's character, he will never give up.
In addition, Real Madrid is the best club in the world in the last century, they have won 9 Champions League titles, produced countless superstars, and now because they bought a lot of superstars and are known as the second phase of the Galaxy Battleship, pride and self-esteem make this Royal Foresters will not give up easily, although Arsenal has scored more goals than Manchester United on the road, but Arsenal's promotion is more difficult.
As one of the most famous clubs in the world, Real Madrid has no intention of giving up, they have just washed away the shame of the Champions League 16, and now the confidence has not disappeared, they think they still have the ability to have a chance to complete the feat of turning the tables, of course, the premise is to cancel Mourinho's red card first, Mourinho was expelled from the stands with a red card last time, he still has no way to command the game on the spot, Real Madrid must fish out their own coach, it is difficult for a team without a manager to win, let alone win a super team like Arsenal.
In fact, after the semi-final with Arsenal, Real Madrid made a statement like UEFA, saying that Mourinho did not intend to attack the referee, he wanted to dissuade his players, as for what Mourinho said, Real Madrid defended that the player was sent off, Mourinho was of course very angry, and it was normal to say two words, but Mourinho would never take the initiative to besiege the referee, he was not so stupid, and from the past coaching history, Mourinho has never done anything to attack the referee in public.
In the process of UEFA's review, the madman did not sit still, Mourinho, who has always been arrogant, also continued to explain in the media what happened on the day of the game, the madman and the club are the same caliber, he said that he rushed into the field at that time and did not lead the players to besiege the referee, he wanted to prevent the players from doing such a stupid thing, as for the UEFA lip-syncing that he abused the referee's behavior, Mourinho believes that this is human nature, in the case of his main player being sent off, it is impossible for any coach to completely suppress the anger.
In addition to justifying his behavior that day, Mourinho also thought that the referee Stark was too strict in enforcing the law, Pepe was going to the ball, not to people, just because Li Huan's speed was too fast, he didn't have time to stop his foot, so he shoveled Li Huan, and Li Huan was not injured, giving a red card is definitely a bit too strict, even from the perspective of the law enforcement scale of the whole game, this penalty is also debatable.
Mourinho also accused Li Huan of faking a fall, because at that time, Li Huan rolled his head several times on the ground, looking like he had a "broken leg", and it was precisely because of Li Huan's painful performance that the referee made up his mind to punish Pepe. Jose Mourinho admitted to Pepe's foul, but Mourinho felt Arsenal had benefited too much from it and had gone beyond the normal range. If Pepe is not sent off, it is not necessarily Arsenal who will win in the end, and even if Arsenal win, they will not win by more than three goals.
Arsenal are equally aware of the importance that Jose Mourinho plays for this Real Madrid team, and if there is no Mourinho in the second leg, Arsenal will certainly play easily, and if there is Mourinho, Arsenal will have to be careful not to become the first team to be reversed in a 3-1 away situation.
All when Real Madrid and Mourinho PR UEFA, the British media also began to expose Mourinho's behavior at that time, "The Sun" sarcastically said that when Pepe was sent off, Mourinho rushed into the field excitedly, did he want to thank the referee, Mourinho also said that he was excited at the time, but people will rationally dissuade their players from doing stupid things when they are excited and angry?
The Guardian bluntly stated that Mourinho was deceiving UEFA, Mourinho has always been a result-oriented person, and he did such things as lying, and there was no indication that Mourinho was trying to dissuade his disciples, and the Guardian hoped that UEFA would not be deceived by Mourinho, and that Mourinho's red card must not be canceled, let alone Pepe's red card.
However, Real Madrid and Mourinho's explanation was very effective, a week later, Mourinho's yellow card was canceled, and the statement given by UEFA was that Mourinho did not attack the referee's actions at that time, and it could not be inferred that Mourinho had the intention of attacking the referee, so the referee Stark gave Mourinho a red card that was too heavy, but it could not be canceled, but the suspension of one game could be waived. UEFA believes that the red card for Pepe, who lifted his foot and tackled, must not be canceled, because Pepe did not close his foot at that time.
The British media and Arsenal were surprised by the cancellation of Mourinho's red card, and Wenger said publicly: "I can't understand such a thing, I can't imagine that a matter with conclusive evidence and a verdict has been reversed, if this can be done, I think it will seriously weaken the credibility of the referee, and the impact is too bad."
Li Huan said directly on his column, "Welcome Mourinho to the Emirates Stadium again, whether he is sitting in the coach's seat or commanding in the stands, this Real Madrid cannot be underestimated, we don't have to worry about these things, the important thing is to play our own style in the game, the score of the first leg is very important to us, and now we can play with a relaxed mentality." “
The British media expressed dissatisfaction with UEFA's cancellation of the punishment of Mourinho's one-game suspension, and most of the British media believed that UEFA was helping Real Madrid, and they didn't want Arsenal to advance, so they released Mourinho, mainly considering the issue of defending the title, and UEFA hoped to leave a Champions League suspense. Even if Real Madrid can't stop Arsenal's way to qualify, as long as it consumes Arsenal's strength in the semi-finals, it can help another team advance to the final and reduce Arsenal's chances of winning the title.
However, the pro-Manchester United British media happily believes that even if Arsenal can't defend the title, the Premier League can defend the title, no matter what UEFA plans to do, what dirty ideas there are, as long as Manchester United and Arsenal reach the final, the ultimate benefit is the Premier League and English football. “
This time, the first leg of the game was Schalke, and Manchester United played the second game away at Old Trafford, and Manchester United was even more confident.
Unlike the last time, Manchester United gave the fans a reassurance early, taking the lead in the 26th minute, Gibson passed through and Valencia scored with a single push, Manchester United led 3-0 on aggregate, and there was only a matter of time left to advance to the final.
In the 32nd minute, Manchester United extended the score, Anderson and Valencia combined on the right, Gibson volleyed in the box, Neuer saved, and the ball hit the inside of the neutral post and into the net. Manchester United 2:0, the aggregate score became 4:0.
Schalke 04 then came back to shame when their Asian player Atsuto Uchida crossed from the right and striker Jurado fired home from inside the box. Changed the aggregate score to 4:1.
However, in the second half, Manchester United never gave Schalke 04 a chance, they put fierce pressure on Schalke 04, and Schalke 04 is also a bloody team, they did not show weakness, and Manchester United started to attack, and finally Manchester United defeated Schalke 04 4:1 with strength and home factors, and took the lead in advancing to the final with an aggregate score of 6:1.
United's victory frustrated Arsenal's best intentions, but it also gave them more confidence to lead more away from home in the first leg and not play highly, just to advance. Defeated Manchester United are waiting for them at the new Wembley stadium, and as long as they settle Real Madrid, breaking the curse of no one to defend the title is almost a certainty.
The match took place on the night of May 4th, and although the suspense of this match was not as great as the first leg and not as attractive as the first leg, it also attracted countless fans and journalists, many of whom wanted to taste the fun of qualifying with Arsenal, and they wanted to share every victory in the process of defending the title with Arsenal.
