Chapter 567 The Champions League is More Important

1Chapter 17 The Champions League is more important
After the end of the national team match day, Manchester United's international players have also returned one after another.

Ancelotti's face was not very good. After the national team match day, Manchester United's injuries made Ancelotti very helpless.

First of all, Di Maria was injured in the Argentine national team game. After the initial diagnosis of the team doctor, he is expected to be absent for nearly two weeks, which means that he is likely to miss the two Champions League finals against Real Madrid. It is not a small loss for Manchester United's offensive power.

In addition to Di Maria, Fellaini, central defender Jones, and Smalling all had injuries of varying degrees. Fellaini was replaced in the middle of the national team game because his knee may have some problems. The problem, now Manchester United's medical team is doing further detailed treatment for Fellaini, and the injuries of Jones and Smalling are ridiculous-the two collided during training in the England team, and the two of them were injured at the same time. Injuried
The impact of the FIFA virus is just too much to scratch your head.

The time has also entered April. At this time, the major European leagues have entered the final stage. In the European arena, the strong smell of gunpowder smoke began to spread.

The UEFA Champions League began to appear frequently in major media.

On April [-]th, the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League will be in full swing. The teams that have reached the quarter-finals will fight each other to compete for a place in the semi-finals! !

Since the quarter-finals, there have been no big teams in the UEFA Champions League. Even Benfica, which seems to be the weakest, is a well-known giant in the entire European continent. Even Bayern Munich dare not do anything to Benfica. contempt.

And Manchester United's Premier League schedule has also begun to become intensive at this stage.

The distribution of Manchester United's schedule into April makes people sweat, especially the seven or eight days in early April, such as the league's home game against Everton on April [-], and then the UEFA Champions League at home on April [-]. One of the final opponents Real Madrid, then away to Tottenham on April [-].

Each of these three games was tough, and it was not easy to deal with, not to mention three games in a row in just seven days, and there was no time to rest and adjust in the middle, coupled with the current injuries of the team The illness, these have to make Manchester United fans a little worried.

Ancelotti has to make some trade-offs in the game. Fortunately, Manchester United now has a considerable advantage in the league. Therefore, in the home game against Everton on April [-], Ancelotti made a comparison. Great rotation.

Apart from Li Qingshan, central defender Hummels, Rojo, midfielder Herrera, and goalkeeper De Gea, as many as five players have been adjusted in other positions. These players are all players of this season. As a regular substitute, right back Raphael finally got the chance to start, while the left back is Luke Shaw, who has just returned from injury.

The midfielder combination is Herrera's partner Carrick and Blind, while the two players behind Li Qingshan are Rooney and Nani.

With such a substantial rotation, even at home, Manchester United has fallen into a bitter battle.

Until 3 minutes into the game, Everton still led [-]-[-].

In this game, Manchester United scored the first goal. In the 203rd minute of the game, Li Qingshan assisted Nani to score and helped the team take the lead.

However, in the first half, Everton equalized the score. Luke Shaw, who had been out of battle for a long time, fouled in the penalty area and gave the opponent a penalty kick. Lukaku made a penalty kick to help Everton equalize. score.

Not long after the start of the second half, the right back Rafael made another defensive error, was easily passed by the opponent's winger Lennon, and then went into the penalty area and shot successfully!

The left and right full-backs each made a mistake and gave the opponent two goals, which made Ancelotti shake his head off the field.

Rafael was not in a good state in this game, and Luke Shaw didn't feel like a game.

There is a long-term lack of games, and it is really necessary to take a lot of risks to let these players suddenly play, but for this sake, Ancelotti has no choice. There are only so many people he can use. The leading advantage in the league allows him to give up one or two games in the league.

For now, the Champions League is more important!
After all, having established such a huge advantage in the league, Manchester United has the capital to fight hard in the Champions League!
In fact, after the UEFA Champions League has undergone many restructurings, the number of participating teams has increased a lot. In order to gain more support from European countries, Platini allowed more teams from second- and third-rate countries to enter the group stage. Those small league teams have brought good news, giving them the opportunity to go to the Champions League and earn some appearance fees.

The side effect of being a colleague is that the gold content of the group stage has dropped, and the "champion" of the Champions League is somewhat untrue. After all, not all teams are fully prepared to prove themselves in the Champions League.

Even the Portuguese giants like Benfica have used the UEFA Champions League as a platform to drive up the value of players in recent years, let alone those teams in the minor leagues.
But teams like Manchester United are different. They have enough capital and thickness to fight on two fronts, and if such a big club cannot achieve sufficiently competitive results in the Champions League for a long time, it will have a negative impact on their own. Profitability is also a no-brainer.After all, for a listed business group like Manchester United, its own performance will affect its stock price at any time.

After Moyes' poor season, some financial institutions estimated that Manchester United's overall market value evaporated by more than [-] million US dollars in the financial market. will be unbearable.

Therefore, when there is an opportunity to make a difference in the Champions League, a club like Manchester United will never let go easily.

Ancelotti was ready to lose a league game, but in stoppage time, Li Qingshan scored with a header from a corner kick, helping Manchester United draw Everton [-]-[-] at home, and finally did not lose at home ball.

In fact, the difference between scoring one point and zero points is not too big for Manchester United's current situation-after this round of the league, due to Leicester City's home win against Southampton, Manchester United's leading advantage has returned to ten. three points.With the last seven rounds of the league remaining, the [-]-point difference is like a natural moat-although Leicester City still has the possibility of winning the championship in theory, this possibility is already very small, which requires Manchester United to lose five. Goals, and Leicester City have to win five games in a row.
