The global media is focusing on the Champions League semi-finals, the England national derby, the Spanish national derby.

In the second leg of the semi-final between Liverpool and Manchester United, Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, who qualified for the Champions League final a day earlier, also came to Old Trafford to inspect the final opponents.

But he declined to give any interviews after the game and left in a low-key manner.

Ferguson was still stiff-mouthed in his press conference after the game.

'The defeat in the first leg made it very difficult for us to play at home today, and if the referee had been more fair in the first leg and gave us the penalty we deserved, the result would have been very different!"

Ferguson was still concerned about Hernandez's header in front of goal in the first leg and being interfered with by Baines for a suspected foul.

It's fair to say that no Manchester United doesn't care.

But the reality is brutal.

Manchester United lost their ticket to the Champions League final.

Jimmy, a reporter for Globo Sport, wanted to bring the conversation back to reality rather than discuss pointless possibilities and listen to the manager's complaints.

He raised his hand to Ferguson and asked: "Is Liverpool's quality over two legs not enough to make you think Manchester United are far from Liverpool?" There is no denying that Manchester United are strong overall, but it is surprising that Liverpool are equally strong, and whether Manchester United should wake up and lose to Liverpool in the league and Liverpool in the Champions League is not explained by a simple suspected foul. ”

When all the reporters thought that Ferguson would definitely continue to be stubborn.

He even dismissed Jimmy's question and became furious.

But Ferguson changed his tune and said: "What I just emphasised is playing on the pitch, even a strong team can not perform well on the pitch. Not up to the level it should be. Otherwise, football is too boring. It will become a game where the strong will win.

In fact, Liverpool's overall strength is stronger than Manchester United, which has long been recognized by the outside world.

Horizontally comparing the lineup structure and configuration of the two teams, and the number of stars, everyone knows it.

But the players are not bad, we just weren't good enough in some areas, especially the lack of a real top star to bring the team together and make a qualitative change in the overall quality of the team. ”

Jimmy asked thoughtfully: "You mean Liverpool has a superstar like Qin Xiong, but Manchester United has no such star after Ronaldo left." Is that right? ”

Ferguson nodded in acknowledgement.

Who is Manchester United's number one star right now?

Wayne Rooney.

Indisputably, it was Rooney.

Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, they are famous, including Rio Ferdinand and Edwin van der Sar, who are either limited by their positional roles or are already veterans.

They can't afford the Red Devils!

And what about Rooney, who should be at the peak of his year?

It's hard to stabilize his performance for a long time, or even if he performs well, he's just a top player. It's not yet super-class.

Not to mention comparing with Messi and Qin Xiong, two outsiders, it is more than Cristiano Ronaldo in the former team. When will Wayne Rooney reach the heights of Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United?

At least not in the past.

Future?

There may be a day, but as time goes on, the likelihood of that becoming less and less likely.

The reporters at the scene came back to their senses that they had been fooled again, at least by Ferguson!

After the league, the Champions League, the League Cup, and the FA Cup have all said goodbye to the title race for Manchester United, the empty four means that Manchester United's war this season is over!

Ferguson, of course, is ready for next season!

How to prepare?

Counting on Anderson behind closed doors, did Nani these XX II suddenly open their minds and start the outbreak mode?

No way!

Ask for money!

Ferguson is putting pressure on the Glazer family through the media, and he needs money to build a stronger Red Devils!

This scheming old fox!

The reporters cursed in their hearts, and then resigned themselves to it, and Ferguson put pressure on the Glazer family, which is also a good piece of news.

Compared to the turbulent post-match press conference on United's side, Liverpool's post-match press conference was more relaxed and simple.

Koeman will lead the team to the Champions League final for the third time in his coaching career, and in his second year in charge of Liverpool, he has led the team to the final for the second year in a row, and has the opportunity to break the curse that no team can defend the title after the Champions League restructuring and create a new history.

This made him happy after the game and smiled from ear to ear.

Koeman directly released the bold statement in an interview: "We have the ability to win the seventh Champions League trophy!" And became the first team to defend the Champions League after the Champions League was restructured! ”

Liverpool's starting XI was changed, with Kuyt coming on to replace Meireles who started the previous game, as well as a surprise tactical change that left out doubts, with Coman laughing: "The players did a great job, they make me proud. It's a Champions League semi-final, and in fact it's a very important game. At this point, a lot of questions do arise in your mind, 'Am I doing the right thing?' But I'm happy that we proved ourselves. ”

Koeman also revealed that he had insomnia in order to set up for this game.

"I woke up about four times last night just to pick out the different lineups. When I analysed everybody who was going to play, I said to myself 'these are all Liverpool players, why don't I let him play?' 'We're in the final now and we're ready for that.' ”

"What a fantastic club it is? There will be a chance to lift the Champions League trophy for the seventh time! We got to where we wanted to be: New Wembley. I've said many times that we should have done better in Europe this season and I think we're getting as close as possible and I think this team can defend the Champions League title and lift the Champions League trophy. It's a team full of desire and determination, and these qualities, combined with the quality of the players, will help them achieve their goals at the new Wembley. ”

Commenting on the final against Barcelona, Koeman admitted that Barcelona are definitely different from Manchester United, saying: "Without a doubt, I think Barcelona are one of the best teams at the moment, they can play beautiful football and it's a pleasure to watch them play. Their semi-final against Real Madrid was a little better than we expected. ”

The world's most anticipated Champions League semi-finals have come to an end after four intense national derbies, and Barcelona and Liverpool will meet at the new Wembley Stadium to challenge for supremacy at the top of Europe this season!

At the same time, it will also be what the outside world says: the final showdown between Qin Xiong and Messi at the annual Golden Ball Awards!

Both have league titles, and whoever wins the Champions League will reach the top of the Ballon d'Or, this is the consensus of everyone! (To be continued.) )
