Chapter 0582, former coaching application
The Etihad Stadium was as silent as death.
Sanchez's stunning goal left the Blue Moon fans dead.
They looked at the Manchester United players who were celebrating excitedly on the pitch, and their eyes were full of unwillingness.
But so what?
They pressed all over the game but still couldn't score.
The opponent had only three shots on goal in the whole game, and the only shot that hit the doorway was the goal.
And it's Sanchez, who has been in poor form lately.
Ahead of this game, Manchester City fans were very happy to see the news of Alexis Sanchez's start.
Isn't that the equivalent of giving away points?
Sanchez, who was in extremely poor form last time, is equivalent to one less person in Manchester United's frontline.
Alexis Sanchez can't even score against teams like Huddersfield Town and Newcastle, so what can he do in front of us?
As a result, the person they looked down on the most turned out to be the one who sent them to the bottom.
Manchester City fans' displeasure with Sanchez comes not only from the competitive level, but also from the transfer level.
Because Manchester City pursued Sanchez last summer, but in the end, the transfer was not completed due to Arsenal's blockage.
And this winter, Sanchez, who has always been very ambiguous with them, suddenly switched to Manchester United.
This is really hard for Manchester City fans to accept.
So Sanchez has been in a bad mood at Manchester United lately and they're in a good mood.
So at the moment Sanchez scored the winner and they were in a bad mood.
And the Manchester United players are excited!
They scored!
Lore Ball!
That's great!
Excitedly, Sanchez rushed to Xia Xing and hugged Xia Xing tightly!
Mourinho on the sidelines of the pitch also happily threw a punch!
That's great!
Sanchez finally lived up to his expectations!
Mourinho's joy is palpable to the naked eye, in stark contrast to Pep Guardiola's stern expression.
Manchester City have been getting better and better under Pep Guardiola this season.
But unfortunately, the team met a sworn enemy in the same city who was in better form, and also met an old friend who loved and hated each other.
At this moment, Guardiola has used up three substitutions, and he has just called several important players to his side and instructed everyone to continue to attack and fight.
But so what?
Haven't they been attacking for almost 90 minutes?
Manchester United, who had scored, were urged by the referee to return to their own half, but there was not much time left for City.
Especially now, Manchester United have scored the winning goal, and the mentality of Manchester City's players is extremely impatient.
With Leroy Sane forcing a shot high, City also lost their last chance on goal.
The referee's whistle blows, and the game is over!
"It looked like a boring game, and in the end Manchester United had the last laugh!
"It's really the most boring game I've seen in a while, not one of them!
But Mourinho didn't care, because his team won in the end!
"A small 1-0 win!
"And it's Sanchez's lore!
"The Chilean striker, who has never been able to find his form, has finally completed the redemption in this game!
"Even if you score goals in the league before, you can't compare to this crucial kick!
"It's so important!
"Alexis Sanchez is a superhero at Manchester United!
"And xia!
"He showed unbeatable defensive ability in this game!
"It's just too strong!
"Manchester City came to naught on their home turf!
"I can only watch the sworn enemies of the same city advance to the next round!
"Their FA Cup dreams are shattered!
"And Manchester United's fourth-tier title race continues!
"Let's see if Manchester United can really do a miracle next?"
Whether it can work a miracle, the Manchester United players are not sure.
For them, it is important to face every game steadily, and this is what Mourinho reminds them from time to time.
With a win over Manchester City, Manchester United continued to move forward in the FA Cup.
In the next match-up draw, Manchester United drew Huddersfield.
The game will be played in a month's time, and Manchester United are on the right track.
The next most important thing for the Red Devils is the Champions League knockout round.
The FA Cup ended on 18 February, with a short break on 19 February.
On February 20, tactical training was conducted to analyze the opponent.
On 21 February, Manchester United travelled to Barcelona a day earlier.
Tomorrow will be the first leg of this season's Champions League quarter-finals - Manchester United vs Barcelona!
These two teams are regulars in the Champions League and have met many times on the Champions League stage.
The last thing to do is the Champions League final.
Manchester United were eventually defeated and crushed by Barcelona.
Sir Alex Ferguson's trembling fists in the dugout are still fresh in the minds of Manchester United fans.
Now, the two teams have finally met again!
Arrive in Barcelona a day early and check in to your hotel.
On the morning of the match, the players arrived at the Camp Nou for acclimatisation.
For many Manchester United players, the stadium is no stranger.
Rooney, Carrick and many other veterans have played here and have very familiar memories.
But if you want to say that you are most familiar with this place, it is Mourinho.
After arranging the training tasks of the players, Mourinho stood on the side of the pitch, looked at the furnishings around the pitch, and fell into memories.
Perrin on the side could understand Mourinho's feelings: "Jose, when you were in charge of Inter Milan and Real Madrid, you had a lot of memories in this stadium. During the Real Madrid period, you beat Barcelona to the top and helped Real Madrid to beat Barcelona the strongest in history; When you were at Inter, you eliminated Barcelona in this stadium, kicked them out of the Champions League, and eventually led Inter Milan to the title. What a wonderful memory. ”
Hearing Perrin say this, Mourinho smiled: "Man, you still give me face, what you say is a good thing for me to show my face, and you didn't mention my shame." After all, I have lost a lot of important games in this stadium, and it is also an unforgettable memory. ”
Perrin asked curiously: "When it comes to Barcelona, what is your most memorable?" ”
"The most memorable? I think it was a former coaching application. ”
"Former coaching applications?"
"It's the one that the newspapers always say."
"Really?"
"Well, it's true. I've never responded to this topic, but I've never denied it. ”
Mourinho's application for the coach has been circulating in football circles for a long time.
It is said that in 2008, Barcelona was in the stage of changing the coach.
Rijkaard has confirmed his departure at the end of the season, and Barcelona must consider a new manager in advance.
Within the club, two candidates are the ones with the most attention.
One is Mourinho and the other is Pep Guardiola.
Mourinho, on the other hand, has more than half of the support.
The club even invited Jose Mourinho, who had just left Chelsea, to come to the squad to help analyse the future developments.
The two sides had a good exchange.
And Mourinho also expressed a strong interest in coaching Barcelona, and even took the initiative to apply for coaching.
But in the end, things turned out to be a surprise to many fans...... (End of chapter)
