Chapter 623 The Miracle of Huo Village, I Want to Conquer This Stadium
"What? Manchester United won four championships? Don't be kidding, that is absolutely impossible!"

This is the 35th round of the Premier League after Manchester United defeated Middlesbrough in an away game. When Ferguson asked Sky Sports if his team could go all out and win the four major titles of the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup, he was categorical. answer.

But Sky Sports don't think this is Sir Alex Ferguson's real thoughts, because from other conversations, it can be seen that Sir Alex Ferguson is just a scheming cover.Just like Ferguson said "I will not take risks in the league for the League Cup", but in the end he defeated Tottenham to win the League Cup.

After the UEFA Champions League semifinal draw with Hoffenheim in the first round, Ferguson told the world as soon as he returned home, "We will be the first team to successfully defend the title"; defeating Southampton kept Ferguson coaching for 22 years in the FA Cup. After the unbeaten record of the first-level league teams, Ferguson also said, "We absolutely take the FA Cup seriously. This is an important championship"; Needless to say, the defending Premier League champions are still ahead of Liverpool with one game less 2 points, Ferguson doesn't want to win unless he is a fool.

The British media are now also enthusiastically analyzing the possibility of Manchester United winning the other three championships.Although the British media believe that Manchester United's promotion to the final is almost inevitable, they still believe that Manchester United's chances of winning the championship are only 6%, because Chelsea and Barcelona in the other half of the area are capable of fighting Manchester United.

Facing the publicity and arrogance of the British media, the German media seems to be very low-key. "Bild" believes that after being tied 2:2 at home by Manchester United, Hoffenheim's chances of qualifying are already very slim. The only thing that can be used is Manchester United. In the league, you must go all out, and you may suffer a little in terms of physical fitness, but Hoffenheim needs to go to England to fight, which weakens this advantage a lot.If the current Hoffenheim wants to advance, Manchester United needs to make mistakes in the case of super performance.

"Kicker" said that Hoffenheim has already won the Bundesliga championship, and now they can form the strongest offensive lineup and let it go. Even if they lose, they have no regrets.If you can make a high-score draw of 2:2 or more, you will be lucky enough to make it to the finals.

On the morning of May 5th, in the midst of a sad tone, Hoffenheim left Germany to Manchester, England to participate in the second round of the UEFA Champions League semi-final against Manchester United. The club's owner Hope also went there at random.

This is a special plane that Hope paid for and chartered from Lufthansa. Although the team is in a difficult situation in the Champions League, Hope still fully supports the team's game. There are very few people who still have confidence in the promotion. Hope believes that Manchester United can no longer be as conservative at home as they are away, and the chances of playing against Hoffenheim are not small.At least Manchester United will not stick to it.Then Hoffenheim still has a chance.

"Li, how much hope do you think we have to advance?" Hope asked Li Huan.

Li Huan was sitting next to Hope. The team was facing a life-and-death battle. Even if they won the Bundesliga championship, few people were in the mood to chat and laugh. They either sat there and took a nap, or stared out the window blankly, or listened to music silently.Li Huan was reading a newspaper, the British "Times".

Hearing Hope's question, Li Huan put the newspaper down and said, "Half and a half."

"What? Half and half?" Hope looked at Li Huan in surprise, with a look of disbelief. "How can this be."

Li Huan said lightly: "There is nothing impossible. You can see that the British media now believe that Manchester United will surely advance, and Manchester United players are also full of confidence when they are interviewed. Under such circumstances, how could they be at home? If they are not conservative, we may not be able to score goals, and it is possible to score a high score."

Hope raised his thumb and said: "That's right, it's similar to what I think, but I have confidence in Hoffenheim and because we have you, I believe you will lead Hoffenheim to a bigger goal." brilliant."

Li Huan looked at his teammates around him and said, "Manchester United will definitely defend me strictly. I hope my teammates can seize the opportunity. As long as we can score first, the game will be easy."

Lannick, who was sitting behind Hope and Li Huan, said: "Seizing opportunities is the most important thing. We won't have too many chances in this game. Li Huan, although Manchester United must take strict precautions against you, Ferguson would never have thought that you would Not at right-back."

Hope laughed and said, "The game against Wolfsburg was good. Ferguson must still be suspicious now. I don't know what lineup you are going to line up. Seeing Li Huan appearing in the midfielder, he must be dumbfounded."

Rangnick sighed: "Everything still needs a little bit of luck. Manchester United is very strong. Without a little bit of luck, we would not be able to advance. Just like Manchester United beat Porto away, without Ronaldo's long shot from 40 meters away , Manchester United may also stay outside the quarter-finals."

Hope revealed a smile on the corner of his mouth when he heard this. He knew that this was Rangnick using aggressive tactics. Ronaldo, Li Huan, and Messi are the hottest stars in the world now. Ronaldo can lead Manchester United in a 2-2 home game Li Huan definitely doesn't want to show weakness in the reversal.

Although Li Huan heard what Lannick meant, he definitely didn't want to show weakness. Although according to past memory, Manchester United reached the final, but because of his appearance, history has changed from the original. It was Arsenal in the semi-finals and now it is Hoffenheim.With him, everything becomes possible.

"Luck is always by our side." Li Huan said, "Actually, we didn't prepare well in the last game and were fooled by Ferguson. In the end we still got a draw, which is actually a good result. As long as a one-to-zero , we will advance, and Manchester United will not worry about being caught by us. So even if the second round is not at home, they dare not stick to it."

Li Huan's words made Lannick's face a little ugly, because he did make a mistake in the arrangement of the last game, and the media also criticized it after the game. It's just that the big enemy is now, and the club and the media negotiated to suppress the criticism. down.But Lannick felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Hope also felt that this topic was a bit sensitive, and was about to change the topic, just at this time the plane also arrived at Manchester Airport and was about to land.Hope patted Li Huan on the shoulder and said, "Get ready to get off the plane, I believe you are stronger than Ronaldo."

After the strong rise of Hoffenheim in the past two years, the number of fans has grown like bamboo shoots after the rain. Even in the UK, there are many Hoffenheim fans, including Li Huan. There are also many fans at Manchester Airport. Seven hundred fans picked up the plane, including dozens of reporters, and many hardcore Manchester United fans who came to make trouble.

However, the Hoffenheim players were not in the mood to accept interviews or sign autographs for the fans. They just waved to the fans and quickly got into the car that came to greet them and went to the hotel where they were staying.

After resting in the hotel for an hour, the Hoffenheim players had a short meeting in the conference room of the hotel. The main thing was that Rangnick told the players the records and activity arrangements that they need to abide by during the two days in the UK.

Then came lunch time, and after lunch came another meeting, this time the meeting was mainly about the arrangement of training in the afternoon. Two hours later, Rangnick and his assistant coach led the players to Old Trafford to adapt to the venue, except Ruud Ruud The other players are coming to this European dream theater for the first time.

Old Trafford Stadium can accommodate 76000 fans and is the largest stadium in the Premier League. It is known as the European Dream Theater.Many of Hoffenheim's players are no longer the country bumpkins of the past, but they were still shocked when they walked into this dream theater that mixed noble, elegant and modern temperament.

Walking with Li Huan was Fanny. Looking at Li Huan's expression, Fanny said with a smile: "It's the same as my first time here. At that time, I was ambitious to conquer this dream theater. Do you have such a feeling?" Feel."

Speaking of which, Van Nistelrooy's expression is a bit lonely. He stayed at Manchester United for four seasons, won the Premier League top scorer, won the championship, and also won the Premier League Footballer of the Year, but he has never been able to conquer this stadium like Ronaldo , he is not the boss here, and in the end he had to leave England to fight in La Liga because of the conflict with Ferguson.

At this time, many fans came to watch in the stands. In addition to the Hoffenheim fans, there were also many Manchester United fans. Seeing the arrival of the Hoffenheim players, the Manchester United fans booed. He was still provocative loudly, "Shit! You are finished!" "You bumpkins, you should go to the UEFA Cup." "Yellow monkey, return Ronaldo's footballer."

Van Nistelrooy looked at these fans and smiled, "These are boring football hooligans, don't pay attention to them, most British fans are still very polite."

The provocations of these fans aroused Li Huan's fighting spirit. He smiled contemptuously and said, "Fanny, they will cry after tomorrow. My thoughts are the same as yours now. I want to conquer this stadium."

Li Huan spoke very calmly, but was very firm and powerful. There was an unquestionable self-confidence hidden in his words. Even Fan Ni had the feeling that this young man could conquer everything. After arriving in Hoffenheim, Van Nistelrooy felt that this was not an ordinary person. His talent in football was unparalleled. If Ronaldo and Li Huan were compared together, Van Nistelrooy could only say that he was like a blue-collar worker and an engineer. gap between
Fanny stretched out his palm, "Okay! Let's conquer it together."

"Conquer it!"

"Crack!" The two palms were tightly clenched together.
