Chapter 334 Chinese Football Blossoms in Full Bloom
******
After the game, the director of the Old Trafford stadium first gave the camera to Iello who was watching the score on the big screen, and then to Cristiano Ronaldo, the biggest contributor to Manchester United's victory in this game.
The meaning he wanted to convey was already obvious, this game ...... The winner was Cristiano Ronaldo!
The battle of two young talents, Manchester United's number seven victory!
Looking at the shocking 3:1 on the big screen, Iroh was really in a terrible mood!
Having failed at Camp Nou or the Bernabeu, why did you lose at Old Trafford this time? And he also lost a 3:1, which he couldn't accept!
Actually, he thinks too much, and everyone doesn't want this game to be like this!
After all, it takes a lot of physical fitness to deal with such a fierce game, and you must know that they haven't had a comfortable sleep since arriving in Manchester, so how can they have a good mental outlook to face the fierce competition?
At this moment, he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder.
Arlo subconsciously turned his head, it was Cristiano Ronaldo.
"Haha...... I won this game!! Cristiano Ronaldo won the game, and his joy was palpable, and he winked at Iro.
For Cristiano Ronaldo's expression, Iroh could only roll his eyes infinitely, this guy is too shameless, right?
"If it's to show off? So...... You're dead next time! Iroh pouted and said viciously.
"Haha, showing off is only a small part of the reason." Cristiano Ronaldo laughed, "Exchange jerseys, right?" β
"Wouldn't it be nice to swap jerseys......" Iroh muttered as he took off his jersey.
Hearing Iro's muttering clearly, Cristiano Ronaldo's face smiled even more.
After the two exchanged shirts, Iroh returned to the visiting dressing room, he didn't want to watch his opponents celebrate on the pitch, he hated it.
On the way, he also shook hands with Rooney, and then was stopped by Giggs to say a few words before returning to the dressing room.

In the regular press conference after the game, Flores expressed his feelings for the defeat in this game, and also vaguely expressed the shameless behavior of Manchester United fans in the past two days.
"The loss in this match is not due to technical reasons, but because of physical condition, don't ask me why, I can only say that I am very unconvinced by the loss in this match! What team can afford to go without a good night's sleep and play another Champions League knockout game? β
Flores' statement provoked a considerable reaction.
Because before this game, many reporters had heard about the shameless behavior of Manchester United fans, but because of Manchester United's face, they did not report it, but these words were different from Flores's mouth, and they could be reported!
At that time, there is no way for Manchester United to say anything, and they can't let other newspapers report on it without their own newspapers, right?
Afterwards, reporters also talked about Flores' expectations for the next match.
And Flores left only one sentence: "Eliminate Manchester United!" β
After that, just walk away!
It is worth mentioning that after the regular post-match press conference, the South Korean media also laughed at the Chinese reporters, because it was Manchester United who won in the end!
The cheeky stick-boy is quite thick-skinned: Manchester United's victory was built on Park Ji-sung's brilliant performance!
*****
On the second day, the results of the first matchday of the Champions League knockout round were all out, Real Madrid lost 1-0 at home to Arsenal, and Henry sealed it with a sword!
Inter Milan, on the other hand, won 1-0 at their home stadium against Liverpool.
The other game was a 1-1 draw at home to AC Milan by Bayern.
So the match between Real Madrid and Arsenal that flooded the mainstream media in Europe on this day was Henry, the king of Arsenal's guns, staged a very wonderful solo pass and sent the ball into the gate guarded by Casillas.
Next up is Manchester United's home game against Valencia.
However, it was not the highlights of the match between the two sides that appeared in the newspapers, but the news off the pitch, as the French newspaper Les Varencia put it: "Valencia manager Enrique Flores gave an interview at his regular post-match press conference to suggest that United seemed to be on suspicion of winning this game, and that, according to reliable sources, none of their players had enjoyed a full night's sleep since Valencia arrived in Manchester......"
ββ¦β¦ So according to Valencia's table in the first half of this game, we believe the authenticity of this news, because their collective play in the first half was simply sleepwalking, whether it was offensive or defensive, it felt like they were powerless, and the attention of the game was not very concentrated. β
"Torino Sports Newspaper" also analyzed: "This game is indeed a bit unfair, you must know that a team plays in this situation, and it is snickering if it doesn't lose a big score!" Fortunately, Valencia returned to normal in the second half, otherwise the next leg would have been meaningless and an away goal could have had a profound impact on the team......"
After the publication of these two well-known newspapers in Europe, Manchester United became the target of public criticism, although these things were not dictated by the club, but by their fans.
In addition to reporting the news that Bayern were held to a draw by AC Milan, the rigorous German newspaper Bild focused not on Real Madrid's home defeat to Arsenal, but on Manchester United's home match against Valencia.
'In the other three games that ended at the same time last night, United beat the visiting Valencia 3-1 at home, and it is worth mentioning that in addition to an away goal, Valencia had a goal to discuss before that goal...... Ai started at the edge of the penalty area and chased back to the right side of his own defence, and then from the right side of his own defense to the United penalty area, the whole distance was more than 150 meters, and during this 150 meters he was almost in anaerobic exercise......
ββ¦β¦ Especially in the journey of chasing Cristiano Ronaldo, you must know that Cristiano Ronaldo is Manchester United's fastest player in this game, but everyone should note that Aike is nearly 12 meters behind Cristiano Ronaldo, but it is this 12 meters behind that his speed is more prominent! With lightning speed, I personally feel that he should go to the track and field competition! β
Valencia Sport focused on criticizing the shameless behaviour of Manchester United fans, followed by encouragement to the team, after all, there is an away goal and it is not impossible to qualify for the quarter-finals.
The rest of the Spanish media generally believe that the match between Valencia and Manchester United should be replayed, after all, it is not a fair game, and only a replay can reflect the spirit of fair play.
Of course, these mentions are impossible to be promoted, after all, the fan factor is uncertain, and if every game is replayed because of this, how much manpower and material resources will be wasted?
*****
The Chinese media is a different story, with the focus of attention being different from that in Europe, with the newspaper reporting on Elo, who helped the team score a crucial away goal, and although he didn't score the goal directly, 99% of the credit for the goal is due to him.
It's not that the Chinese newspaper gives favors, but this is the truth, from the chase to the offense, Iroh has played a very important role!
Iroh's personal fan site "The World of Ai God" has sparked a craze again, and the frenzy of Ello's first goal against Barcelona in the last round of La Liga has not yet dissipated, and now he is once again showing his proud pace.
The netizen who lost his love once again gave a set of numbers, the distance from the beginning of Iello turning back to the break of the ball was about 72 meters, while Cristiano Ronaldo was slightly shorter from the football, about 60 meters, and the time it took was about seven seconds, but the two were able to arrive at the same time.
So Cristiano Ronaldo's speed is 8.57 m/s, while Aillo's speed is 10.2 m/s, and his number jΓΉ is a little different from the first goal against Barcelona at home, but it feels more real.
Of course, these numbers are just for those boring fans to count and play, looking for something cool.
The result was not accepted positively.

It didn't take long for United's win to become something that was being discussed throughout European football that day.
Manchester United CEO David Gill was forced by public opinion to hold a press conference to express the team's apologies for the incident, and at the same time... It can also be regarded as an excuse for Manchester United fans.
However, after only one day, the incident was forgotten by the public, and only a few Spanish media outlets still reported on it.
Because the highlight of the night was Chelsea's 2-1 defeat to Barcelona, which also had a very controversial scene, in the 36th minute, Messi broke through Robben on the right and caught up with Del Horno to knock the Argentine to the ground from behind, and the Barcelona players expressed dissatisfaction with it and caused a dispute between the two sides.
The referee then sent Del Horno off with a red card, setting the stage for Chelsea's home defeat.
In particular, Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho's speech after the game was completely aimed at the referee on duty, and at the same time, he did not forget to insinuate and bombard UEFA.
These are the broad concerns of everyone.
The remaining three games were all big scores, Inter Milan drew 2-2 at home to Liverpool, Ajax drew 2-2 at home to Villarreal and Werder Bremen beat Juventus 3-2 at home.
On this day, the mainstream European media were covering the match between Chelsea and Barcelona, while the Chinese media reported on the game with Chinese players, except for Zhao Xuri, who did not appear on the first match day, the other three Chinese players all showed that they were very good.
Ajax's Chen Tao and Werder Bremen's Gao Lin both had excellent performances, with Chen Tao scoring a penalty and Gao Lin setting up Klose for a crucial late goal.
The Chinese sports newspapers of the day tacitly used a theme - Chinese football that has blossomed in an all-round way!
