May 14th, race day.

At Ewood Park, the home fans were buzzing one after another.

This certainly isn't a season to remember for Blackburn Rovers fans as it's already the penultimate round of the league, but their side are still struggling with relegation, and it's a test for the team, and it's a test for the fans. Blackburn's final two rounds of fixtures have not been good, with the final round against Wolves, who are currently 16th and 17th, both teetering on the brink of the relegation zone. The opponent in the penultimate round, which is now the opponent, is the leader Manchester United.

Which is the greater motivation to win the championship or the pressure of relegation?

At least for now, the pressure of relegation has taken the lead, and Blackburn, who are playing at home, have maintained their lead for almost an hour thanks to Emmerton's goal in the twentieth minute of the first half, and now the game is coming to an end, although the siege is on the opposition, but United are still yet to equalise, let alone tell.

Mike Ferran glanced at Ferguson next to him a little anxiously, and the old man was still chewing gum unhurriedly.

The significance of this game for Manchester United is self-evident, before that, Manchester United claimed to have the initiative to win the championship, and this initiative came from Manchester United in the last round of Manchester United at Old Trafford in a tough battle, beating Chelsea, plus Manchester City's last game loss, gave Manchester United a bright prospect of winning the title, but having the initiative does not mean that you can let your guard down. If United are unable to change the score in less than 20 minutes in the next 20 minutes, then United may still be in control, but the final game will be full of uncertainties.

In this case, Mike Phelan is by no means the only Manchester United man in a hurry.

But Ferguson remained so calm.

However, being calm does not mean that Ferguson is optimistic about the situation. To be behind is to be behind, and the reality doesn't change because of anyone's feelings, Ferguson has only seen such situations, he has led Manchester United to win a lot of trophies, he can't remember how many league titles were won in the last round, but if the suspense of the title this season has to be maintained until the last round, it will certainly not be the first time and it will not be the last.

Ferguson's calmness invisibly calmed down Mike Phelan.

Sometimes things are just so wonderful, just when Mike Ferran calms down. Manchester United, who had besieged their opponents for most of the game but could not find the key to the goal, finally knocked on the door of their opponents and used a penalty kick that was slotted in by the leading striker Wayne Rooney.

And the score of 1 to 1 was also maintained until the end of the game.

Back in the dressing room, Mike Phelan picked up the score of another concurrent game as Chelsea were held to a 2-2 draw by Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge, meaning the Reds continued to maintain their four-point lead over Chelsea. With only one final round of the league remaining, it also marked Chelsea's final withdrawal from the league title race.

Now, this season's league title is the same as this season's Champions League winner. It's all about the city of Manchester.

It's just that unlike Chelsea's game, Manchester United will have to wait a few more days if they are desperate to touch the league trophy, because Manchester City's league game has been delayed. Therefore, even if Manchester United's advantage over Manchester City has reached as much as a quarter by this time, it is theoretical. They still have to wait for the outcome of the Manchester City game.

On the bus back to Manchester, Ferguson, who ostensibly didn't care about Manchester City, took the initiative to mention the Manchester City game.

Yes, it's the Manchester City game.

Just after the end of Manchester United's game, at Wembley Stadium, the venue of the Champions League final, Manchester City's other final has just begun, and the opponent is Stoke City.

FA Cup final.

"I'm a little jealous of Lin's luck." At the mention of Manchester City, Mike Phelan couldn't help but complain.

Ferguson smiled faintly, he knew what Mike Ferran was worth, Manchester City still maintained the shape of three lines at the moment, but in fact, after losing to Everton in the last round of the league, Manchester City has only theoretical hope left on this front of the league, this is not how confident Ferguson is in himself, but he is very aware of the difficulties faced by the third-line battle, the triple crown and the quadruple crown or something, it seems to be perfect, but in fact, to accomplish such a great feat, it is not only the team's physical fitness and condition, Sometimes you also need some necessary luck.

In the semi-finals, Manchester City eliminated Manchester United by virtue of a controversial penalty, and in the Champions League semi-finals just past, Reus's "stunner" was like that possession, you know, Manchester City at that time was almost exhausted.

But in this situation, Manchester City is still in the middle of the third line, and it has come to the end.

"You have to admit that Royce was replaced by him." Ferguson said.

"That's why I said he was surprisingly lucky." Mike Ferran nodded and said, "However, I am a little surprised that he actually let Barcelona go so lightly." ”

"What do you think is the reason?" Ferguson asked with a smile, a little knowingly.

"He's the winner." Mike Phelan blurted out that in his opinion, victory is more important than anything else, although Linson said at the press conference that victory does not mean that it is erased, but in fact, his behavior after the game proved that victory can indeed erase a qiē, even if it is the change of sentence that makes all Manchester City fans indignant, although Manchester City's manager Cook said in an interview that he will protest to UEFA about the decision, but in fact? UEFA has never received any material from Manchester City.

Ferguson shook his head.

Because he's the winner? So everything is over? Are you kidding.

"A person like Lin, he will not forget the past, even if he is a victor, unless, there is something more important than the past." Ferguson said.

"More important than in the past?"

'Barcelona isn't the focus of Manchester City, Mike. As he spoke, Ferguson pointed to himself, "We are." Dwelling on a past game may allow them to find a place to vent their grievances, but it doesn't make any sense for them to go next, and instead of making real sense, they're asking for trouble for themselves. ”

"You mean......" Mike Phelan was stunned for a moment, "is Lin afraid that UEFA will give him little shoes in the final?" ”

"UEFA looks fair, but it's never good. Mike. Ferguson laughed, "At least you have to admit it." I really want Manchester City to continue to play against Barcelona, the more intense the better, but I have to say that in this matter, I am a little impressed by Lin's handling. ”

"Sir, I've rarely heard you praise people like that." Mike Phelan smiled and said, "He's the manager of Manchester City. ”

"Football can't just be about winning or losing, Mike." Ferguson laughed, "When you meet some interesting opponents, they help you get a lot of football fun. ”

Mike Ferran just smiled and nodded this time.

In today's football world, if someone comes to say this to him, then he will probably disdain it, but the words come from the mouth of this old man in front of you, and you can only sigh from the bottom of your heart in addition to listening. Ferguson, who has been in charge of Manchester United for so many years, has had too many opponents, from the "Kenny the Great" Dargeshley, who was almost out of breath for the first time and has just become the manager of Liverpool, to George Graham, who has retired, and Ferguson, who is recognized as the old man's lifelong enemy, and Mourinho, who is always linked to controversy......

Ferguson can always find opponents for himself, or in other words, there are always new opponents who can find him, which is the luck of opponents and the luck of Ferguson. And now, it seems, another "lucky one" has been born.

Back in Manchester, Ferguson, who had given the team a holiday, was already a little tired, but did not go to rest immediately, but made himself a cup of coffee.

Then I took my coffee and went to the living room and turned on the TV.

It's a game he has to watch, not just because of curiosity, but because it's a team that will determine whether he can win the third Champions League trophy of his managerial career.

In fact, he had previously instructed his assistant Lenny Mulenstin to record the match, but in the end, he still couldn't overcome his feelings.

Ferguson chose the stage, and when the screen jumped to the familiar green field, his eyes immediately focused on the upper left of the screen.

7o:12mannetbsp; The game has reached the 70th minute, and the score is still 0-0.

It seems like the right time for Stoke City to play well?

Ferguson took a sip of his coffee and adjusted to a more comfortable position as he sat on the sand.

After only two minutes of watching, Ferguson could already see the trend of this game, which was similar to what he had predicted before the game, or about the same as most predictions, that it was a game of great disparity, and Manchester City were the side looking down.

Ferguson didn't know what Stoke City used to hold on for 70 minutes, but in the past two minutes, Manchester City have threatened the opponent's door twice, and it can be seen that Stoke City's goalkeeper Sorensen is in good shape, maybe that's why?

Weak goalkeepers, when you meet a goalkeeper open, you can really only complain about your bad luck, and Ferguson has been in this situation more than once.

But does Stoke City have a chance to make it to the end?

The answer is no.

In the 73rd minute, the deadlock was broken, David Silva took the ball from the left and crossed the small box to cause chaos, Yaya Toure cut in the back row and fired a left-footed blast, and Sorensen, who had fallen to the ground, could not save the team this time.

One to zero.

Ferguson frowned, a wry smile at random.

It's really not the time to turn on the TV yourself. (To be continued!)
