The next day, football newspapers in Europe and around the world were in the news about Chelsea's 3-1 win away to Liverpool.

However, by this time, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho had already boarded a flight to Barcelona with his assistant Villas-Boas to get a close-up look at the state of their weekend opponents, Manchester United, and their alternate tactics in a crisis situation.

The Champions League semi-final at Camp Nou was not much different from what the media expected before the game, with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo basically dominating the game.

United won a penalty in the opening minute thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's breakthrough and then converted it himself to give the visitors a 1-0 lead.

Five minutes later, Messi and Barcelona's frontcourt players combined exquisitely before bursting into the box to score the ball and equalise.

The rest of the game was like an agreement, you went back and forth, but you just didn't score.

It is worth mentioning that in the second half of the game, the director of the Camp Nou stadium had very vicious eyes, and even found Mourinho and Boas who came to watch the game after 100,000 fans, and then gave them a close-up of their faces.

Immediately, it caused a burst of comments from the commentators in the studio.

Of course, this scene was also seen by Ferguson in the command area of the visiting team.

He was very unhappy, why did the same strong team have such a big difference in results? Why can Chelsea beat Liverpool 3-1 away and why can't Manchester United beat Barcelona away? It's a real headache.

Immediately, he was reminded of the 36th round of the Premier League at Stamford Bridge at the weekend.

If this game at Camp Nou is a draw, then there will still be a lot of pressure to return to Old Trafford in the second leg, and it will be difficult to focus on the league in the future, which means that it will affect the next league games, and not being able to put more energy into it will mean that there is no chance of winning the Premier League this season......

Headache!

When people are old, they tend to be low on energy.

Ferguson rubbed his temples on either side of his forehead to feel a little more comfortable before returning his attention to the game.

Either way, it's the game that's all about it!

Champions League winners...... Manchester United have been lost for eight years and it's time to bring it back to Old Trafford!

Thinking of this, Ferguson began to deploy troops, replacing the veteran Ryan Giggs on the field and replacing Park Ji-sung to strengthen the layering of the attack.

However, this is the biggest stadium in Europe - the Camp Nou! In other words, this is not Manchester United's home stadium, and it will not be able to play to its full strength in any case.

In the end, Manchester United drew 1-1 away at Barcelona.

Although it was only a draw, it was a rare and valuable away goal, and only a 0-0 draw at home in the second leg of the home game could qualify for this season's Champions League final!

※※※

As things stand, no matter which team from Chelsea or Liverpool qualifies for the final, Manchester United will likely return to home to knock Barcelona out of this season's Champions League final in the second leg of the semi-finals in the second half.

Other words...... There will be a historic scene - the Premier League teams will meet in the Champions League final!

What a beautiful picture!

The British media is like writing a beautiful fairy tale, portraying the Premier League team and the Champions League final as a fairy tale prince and princess, and then live happily......

While all eyes were on the two teams that qualified for the Champions League final, the Chelsea and Manchester United managers were each focused on Saturday's 36th round of Premier League fixtures at Stamford Bridge.

It's a game about the Premier League title this season, and it's not to be sloppy.

According to Ferguson's idea, they will beat Chelsea by a big score away from home, so that they have no confidence in the league to win the league title this season, so ...... Manchester United, who visited Stamford Bridge this time, are ready to attack!

It's just that there's a crucial second leg of the Champions League semi-final next week, and it's unlikely that all the energy will be focused on this league game, as the Champions League can be much more alluring than the league winners, and ...... Chelsea also have more players available for this round of the league than Manchester United, as they have beaten Liverpool 3-1 away and do not need to be in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final at home......

No advantage......

But Ferguson still didn't want to give up the league title! Because he wants to sue everybody...... Manchester United is the hegemon of the Premier League!

In order to win Chelsea away from home, Ferguson intends to speak to Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been in excellent form of late.

In the just-concluded Champions League semi-finals, Iroh scored a hat-trick to increase his single-season Champions League goals to 17 goals, while Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi only scored 13 goals, four more than Iro's goals, and Ferguson knew that this was the best time to stimulate his disciples!

After a day of training at Carrington Training Base on the afternoon of Manchester United's return to Manchester, Cristiano Ronaldo called on Rooney to train with him as usual to maintain the weekend's league form at Stamford Bridge......

But this time he had to change his plans because Ferguson found him.

Cristiano Ronaldo was not surprised by Ferguson's call, and the knowledge was a little confused, so it stands to reason...... I'm already more than 45+ goals in all competitions this season, so ...... What's the matter with finding yourself?

With deep doubts, Cristiano Ronaldo knocked on the door of the manager's office.

"Come in......"

When the door was opened, Ferguson was the only one in the office sitting at his desk, with a pair of thick eyes, and his right hand was still lightly holding the mouse, pressing.

Ferguson saw that it was Cristiano Ronaldo, stopped his work with a smile, got up from the boss's chair, and said with a smile: "It's not the first time I've come, just sit down......"

Cristiano Ronaldo surprisingly did not sit down, but continued to stand in front of the sofa.

Ferguson glanced at his disciple suspiciously, his expression was stern, and he was still wearing a training uniform, with years of experience, he could see at a glance the reason why Cristiano Ronaldo did not sit down, so he said directly: "I just want to ask you about the league game at Stamford Bridge this weekend, what do you think?" ”

"I want to win!" Cristiano Ronaldo said categorically after hearing this, his eyes full of desire to win.

Ferguson glanced up at Cristiano Ronaldo with satisfaction, this bicycle teenager has really grown up, and his style of play has changed from the previous special fancy to the current practical, and the tilt has also skyrocketed, if it is not as unexpected, the future world football will be Chelsea's Chinese, Barcelona's Argentine and the disciple in front of him to score the world......

"Okay, I want to win too!" Ferguson smiled and waved his hand: "But ...... Train in moderation, don't waste yourself, go for it......"

Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't talk nonsense, the game is coming, he can train more if he can, after all, in his mind, the person he wants to surpass is too strong...... Even though I am training hard every day, I ...... It's still a huge difference.

Respectfully close the door to the office and run to the training ground.

Ferguson shook his head and walked to the window, how could he, as the founder of the Manchester United dynasty, fail to see the potential of those young players?

All I can say is...... Cristiano Ronaldo was born at the wrong time.

"Eh, Wayne, let's practice free kicks!"

At that moment, Cristiano Ronaldo's voice was heard not far away, and Ferguson turned his head to look.

It didn't take long for him to forcibly erase the thoughts he had just had from his mind, and sometimes...... Acquired efforts are also very important! He believed that the disciple he valued most would definitely not be worse than the Chinese and the Argentine!

※※※

With only three rounds left in the league, Chelsea are three points ahead of second-placed Manchester United, and the goal difference is three more than the opponent, and the remaining two league opponents are Newcastle and Bolton, which means that as long as Chelsea does not lose more than three goals at home, then this season's Premier League title will also win the league title properly, and it will be better if it draws or wins the game......

Jose Mourinho is not the best manager in the world, but he is definitely the most individual manager in the world, and he will never allow the team to lose at home, especially against the league champions!

It's completely impossible!

Coupled with the fact that Chelsea are arguably not under any pressure to reach the Champions League final, they can fully exert their full strength in the next league.

Speaking to reporters at his pre-match press conference, Jose Mourinho said: "There is no doubt that it will be our Chelsea who will win the league game tonight at Stamford Bridge! ”

"Where's the confidence?" There is no doubt that the journalist who asks such a poignant question must be a local journalist in Manchester.

Mourinho glanced condescendingly at the Manchester reporter and grinned: "Because ...... I am! Jose Mourinho!! ”

For the British media, it has been a long time since I have heard of Mourinho's eloquent answer, which is really nostalgic!

That's right! This is the most personal manager in the world - Jose Mourinho!

In the evening's league game, Mourinho's line-up did not change much from the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Liverpool in midweek, with two changes made: Ferreira at right-back and Mikel at midfield to the more experienced Makelele.

The same is true for Manchester United, who are at their best.

Even if there is a do-or-die clash with Barcelona at home next week!

Because...... This is the championship of the event!
