Manchester United fans are thrilled to have the chance to see Manchester United reach the top of Europe once again. They celebrate this exciting moment at home, on the streets, in bars!
The English media are excited, they can once again cheer for the Premier League and trumpet the world's number one league! This is the third time that the Champions League final has been staged in the domestic league after the Champions League restructuring. The previous two were Real Madrid against Valencia in 2000 and AC Milan against Juventus in 2003. As for whether Manchester United's opponent in the Champions League final is Liverpool or Chelsea, they don't care right now, they need to tell the world that the real statistic is that this is the fourth consecutive Champions League final for the Premier League team, and that's enough!
Manchester United's players are excited, they are one step closer to the treble!
After the game, the United players went to the pub for a small celebration, and the players did not leave until dawn the next day.
When he returned home, Yu Liang fell asleep, and when he woke up again, it was already afternoon.
I rubbed my swollen head, thinking about last night's madness, a little annoyed.
But the thought of reaching the Champions League final makes him a little excited.
After getting up and eating a little, sweating in the gym and taking a shower, the crazy tiredness of the night was swept away.
Yu Liang, who was refreshed, sat in front of the TV and waited for another Champions League semi-final to begin.
The media could have left it unconcerned about who United were against in the Champions League final, but now they have to focus on that.
Whether the Champions League final will be staged in the English national derby or the red and blue battle will depend on tonight's game.
At 19:45, the second leg of the Champions League semi-final between Liverpool and Chelsea was played on time at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea, who had a three-goal advantage, were still stable after the opening period, after all, Liverpool had staged a shocking comeback in 45 minutes.
The Liverpool players were indeed encouraged by the Istanbul night, launching ferocious attacks and taking the lead with a goal from Fernando Torres less than 15 minutes into the game.
Torres' goal boosted Liverpool's morale.
They continue to intensify their attack and are convinced that they can replicate the Istanbul night at Stamford Bridge.
It's a pity that Stamford Bridge is Stamford Bridge after all, and Chelsea is not AC Milan.
Under the strong strangulation of the Blues midfield, Liverpool's formation was quickly cut off.
After severing the link between Liverpool's front and back, Chelsea's attack finally paid off.
In the 33rd minute, Frank Lampard went straight through the middle, Kalou burst into the box and fired a shot from a tight angle that was blocked by the Liverpool goalkeeper, and Drogba in the middle made a follow-up shot into the net to equalise the score.
The score was 1-1 until the end of the first half, and Drogba scored again at the start of the second half.
In the box, Anelka's low cross was received and the goal was pushed to make it 2-1.
Drogba's goal also directly shattered the dreams of the Liverpudlians, and in the end, Chelsea relied on Drogba's brace at home, beat Liverpool 2-1, and advanced to the Champions League final with their heads held high!
"It's another tough battle!"
After watching the game, Yu Liang muttered, then turned off the TV, ate some supper, and went back to the room to rest.
The Champions League final is just over half a month away, and United still have three games to play.
Two league games and an FA Cup final.
The league title is in the hands and Ferguson doesn't want to lose his key players again before the FA Cup final and Champions League final.
So he intends to send young substitutes in the league.
Therefore, in the 18-man squad against West Ham United, Yu Liang's name did not appear.
Knowing that he was not selected for the 18-man squad, Yu Liang immediately found Ferguson in a hurry.
"What are you looking for from me?"
"I want to be on the roster for the weekend!"
"Why?"
It's a good thing that the players are actively fighting!
But you also know when it is!
Ferguson has decided that if Yu Liang doesn't give him a reasonable reason, he doesn't mind sending Yu Liang to the reserve team to calm down!
"I want to accomplish my goal!"
"What goal?"
"Double 10+!" After saying this, Yu Liang looked at Ferguson, and then added, "It's to score 10 goals and give 10 assists in the league!" Now there are still two goals left, and it will be ten! ”
Ferguson laughed, he didn't expect Yu Liang to be so desperate for perfect data.
Although he wanted to help his players in their quest for better stats, he turned down Yu Liang's request to play on the weekend.
"I'm sorry, but I won't let you play in the weekend game! But you know my habit of having about half an hour before the FA Cup final, which is the final round of the league! Whether you can accomplish your own goals depends on your own efforts! ”
"Thank you boss!"
Although he was not able to play in the game against West Ham United, he got half an hour of playing time in the last round of the league, and Yu Liang was already very satisfied!
Scoring two goals in half an hour is indeed a bit difficult for Yu Liang.
For this reason, Yu Liang was training desperately for the next week.
Especially the shots.
Yu Liang also specially pulled Ronaldo and Rooney to spar after training, with two big scorers to accompany him to train for a week, Yu Liang is full of confidence in the goal of completing two goals in half an hour.
In the final round of the league, Manchester United visited J** Stadium to challenge Wigan Athletic.
In order to prepare for the FA Cup final a week later, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, who were not in the squad for the previous round, were included in the starting line-up for this game, while Yu Liang sat on the bench.
Although it was an away game, Manchester United had the upper hand on the pitch from the beginning of the game, firmly controlling the ball at their feet.
The Wigan team have no desire, but they don't want to end a season with a defeat at home.
So they were very aggressive in the middle and back, and they were very tenacious defensively. But the tenacious defense still could not stop the attack of Manchester United, in the 27th minute, Scholes went straight in the middle, and Ronaldo broke into the penalty area to receive the football in the ribs, and scored in the far corner, 1-0.
The trailing Wigan team stepped up their attack to try to equalise after the game restarted.
In the 32nd minute, Wigan's attack was tackled by Carrick in front.
Carrick picked up a cross and assisted Wayne Rooney's volley to make it 2-0.
Wigan, who were two goals down, gave up the attack, and Manchester United gave up, and the two sides played the first half very tacitly.
At the end of the first half, Yu Liang warmed up and prepared for his debut.
However, in the second half, the two sides still had a very tacit understanding, Manchester United was not in a hurry to attack, and Wigan did not want to tie the score.
In the symbolic attack that came and went, the game time quickly came to the 60th minute.
Yu Liang, who was warming up on the sidelines, immediately ran to the bench.
But Ferguson didn't seem to see Yu Liang, he ignored it, holding the tactical board and lowering his head, not knowing what to study with Queiroz there.
Yu Liang, who was in a hurry, could only keep dangling in front of the bench, hoping to attract Ferguson's attention.
It didn't take long for Yu Liang to catch Ferguson's attention.
Ferguson got up and walked to the sidelines, looked at the time, and then shouted at Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs, "You two get ready to play, be careful not to get hurt!" ”
"Boss, what about me?"
Yu Liang, who had been waiting for an opportunity, watched Ferguson come to the sidelines, but replaced Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs.
"Uh...... Wait for the next dead ball chance! ”
Seeing that Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs were already on the pitch, Ferguson shrugged his shoulders.
"Damn, don't play with me like this!"
After looking at the time, there were less than fifteen minutes left. Looking at the current situation on the field, don't wait for three or five minutes, don't think about the dead ball.
Ten minutes, two goals!
Thinking about it, Yu Liang felt so stressed! (To be continued.) )
