Football irons are burning

Chapter 403: 05-06 Season - Depressed Manchester United
There is also the World Youth Championship this year. As a result, the Chinese youth team played well this year and won the final championship, which made Messi leave the Netherlands sadly.

Therefore, young Chinese players are also favored by a large number of European teams.

However, their landing trajectory is basically based on the Bundesliga. In addition, there are also Russian Super League teams.

This is a very good development path. The time and space of Chinese football is completely on the right track.

Entering August, the leagues of various countries will start one after another. Because there will be the World Cup next year, the leagues of all countries will start relatively early, and it is estimated that they will end earlier in the coming year to allow time for the World Cup to prepare.

After the start of the season, Manchester United was humiliated by Millwall 3:0 in the UEFA Super Cup in the first game, and then defeated by Everton 2:0 away in the first round of the league. The defending champion had a bad start.

Although they returned to home in the second game and defeated Villa 1-0, Manchester United's performance is still worrying.

It took a lot of effort to defeat Wigan Athletic 3:2 in the third round.

In the fourth round, they immediately lost to Newcastle!

With 2 wins and 2 losses in the first four rounds, they can only be ranked in the middle of the league.

This also surprised the media. They all lamented that it would be difficult for Manchester United without Li Tie to reproduce the glory of the previous seasons.

At this time, Li Tie was still defiant, without any improvement.

Liu Fei also invited professional Chinese medicine practitioners to give Li Tie acupuncture and moxibustion every day, but it still didn't work.

All means have been used, but Li Tie's mind is still not clear.

His body is getting fatter and fatter, and his weight is gradually increasing. Naturally, without exercise, he can't stop his body from getting fatter.

For this reason, Liu Fei was also worried, and had to take Li Tie to do exercises every day.

However, this made the children very happy. Li Tie was with the children every day and played with them, which the children found very interesting.

The two elders, Li Jiao and Gong Yue, were more sensible. They already knew that their father was injured and became what they are now. Both of them helped their mother take care of Li Tie, which relieved Liu Fei.

In order to allow Li Tie to recover from his injuries with more peace of mind, Liu Fei also took Li Tie to travel around, trying to bring back his memories, but it still didn't work.

Entering September, Manchester United's results are still mediocre. Three Premier League games, 9 win and 1 draws. After 7 rounds, 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, only 11 points, ranking 10th in the standings, 10 points behind the top Manchester City.

This year, Manchester City has performed very tough, starting with 7 consecutive victories.

Liverpool, with Ronaldinho, was 2 points behind Manchester City and ranked second. They tied a game. However, Ronaldinho did not perform well and did not integrate well into Liverpool. The team still relied on the organizational skills of Alonso and Gerrard.

Chelsea, Nottingham Forest, Leyton Orient, Millwall, Everton, and Newcastle are all ahead of Manchester United. The defending champion is quite embarrassing.

Throughout these 7 rounds, Manchester United's offense and defense are not actually a problem. However, the transition in the midfield is always wrong, not as straightforward as when Li Tie was there.

Beckham played as a defensive midfielder after returning to Manchester United. Although his long pass is still very accurate, his teammates are not used to this rhythm. They are used to running around Li Tie.

But Keane is not in a hurry, thinking that the league is still early and the team still has room and time to adjust.

In the Champions League group stage, Manchester United is relatively normal. They are divided into a group of Atletico Madrid, Lille and Benfica. In the first two games, they defeated Atletico Madrid and Benfica and ranked first in the group.

However, after entering October, Manchester United first lost away to Lille in the Champions League group stage, then was defeated by Millwall 10:3 at home in the league, and then was eliminated by Reading in the Queen's Cup, missing the defending Queen's Cup.

Now, all the media are badmouthing Manchester United!
In this state, what can we use to defend the Champions League and the Premier League?
Sure enough, Manchester United then lost all the way, the Champions League lost to Atletico Madrid and Benfica, the group fell to third, the league lost to Leyton Orient, Tottenham, and Nottingham Forest, 11 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in 5 rounds directly dropped to 15th in the league!
Everything couldn't be worse!
The frustrated San Dezi also fired Keane as the team's scapegoat.

Keane has no choice. This season, without Li Tie's absence, the team's performance was indeed terrible. As the head coach, he also has a certain responsibility.

Of course, he is still young, and he can rest for a while before looking for a job.

After he was free, Keane went to China to visit Li Tie. Seeing Li Tie's appearance, he was also deeply moved.

"Hey, I didn't expect Li Tie to look like this now. Liu, didn't you let Li Tie play football? Maybe this can bring back his memories." Keane asked.

Liu Fei said: "Forget it, he looks like an adult and has a child's IQ. Letting him play football will only cause damage. Let him play football for a day before, breaking the glass in the house and almost hurting the child. So, I don't let him touch the ball now. By the way, Roy, how about you come to China to coach and help us bring the Little Boys Club?"

The Little Boys Club did not perform very well in the Chinese Super League this year. The current head coach is a domestic coach, and his coaching ability is still a little bit behind.

Therefore, when Liu Fei saw Keen, she suddenly remembered that since he was fired, he should come and coach the Little Boys Club.

When Keane heard this, he immediately agreed, and it was something he was willing to do to help his old friend.

It is also a good thing to start again from the Super League.

However, it is difficult to choose the head coach of the Manchester United team. Most people dare not come here for fear that they will not be able to control these stars. Besides, Manchester United is a hot potato now. If one is not good, it will be ruined.

And a well-known coach has long been famous.

In desperation, San Dezi simply invited Queiroz back to serve as the team's head coach.

Manchester United subsequently played a wave of winning streak under the leadership of coach Queiroz.

Especially in the 12th round of the league, the strong dialogue defeated Chelsea 3:2, which also made people see that the style of the former overlord still exists!

However, in the final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Manchester United was tied 0:0 by Lille in a last-ditch situation. The group ranked last and completely missed the European war.

This is simply a shame for Manchester United.

The defending champion group was the last to be eliminated, which made the people who shouted at the top sign during the grouping jump into the river in the cold winter, I can't figure it out.

In the Club World Cup, Manchester United also lost to Boca Juniors 1:3 in the final, losing another championship chance.

So far, Manchester United has only one venue in the Premier League to play.

到冬歇期，曼联19轮8胜5平6负积29分排在第8，不上不下，非常尴尬。

The half-time championship was taken away by Manchester City. They remained unbeaten in 19 rounds with 18 wins and 1 draw. They scored 55 points and led No.2 Liverpool by 7 points. The prospect of winning this season is very promising.

Entering the winter break, Manchester United did not make any adjustments to the lineup, but sold Hulk to Atletico Madrid for 3000 million pounds.

The club's reason, of course, is such a high transfer fee, why not sell it?
This also made Manchester United fans quite dissatisfied, believing that the club has lost its aggressiveness after winning the Champions League for three consecutive times.

But what's the use of fans being dissatisfied?

The club is owned by the boss, what the boss wants to do, what can the fans do other than vent their dissatisfaction?

After the winter break, Manchester United still played tepidly, and the league ranking has always been hovering between 8-10.

Sometimes they can win Manchester City and Liverpool, and sometimes they lose to West Brom and Sunderland in the relegation zone, which is really hard to see through.

However, Manchester United fans have long given up hope. This season, let's break the can.

Of course, Manchester United fans are quite happy to be able to snipe at the top-ranked teams.

And those relegation teams have a very good attitude towards Manchester United. The nickname given to Manchester United by the outside world is the hero who steals from the rich and helps the poor. This is also quite festive.

In this case, Queiroz is also boldly training players, mainly training Ronaldo. Queiroz wants to train his Portuguese younger brother to become the core of Manchester United.

Of course, Ronaldo already has this strength, so he scored quite a lot.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the 2005-2006 season has passed.

At the end of the season, Manchester United ranked seventh in the league with 38 wins, 18 draws and 10 losses in 10 rounds with 64 points. Next season, they can only play in the UEFA Cup.

The only harvest, Ronaldo scored 45 goals in a single season, breaking Li Tie's record.

And 45 goals, in the five major leagues, is also a record that is very difficult to break.

And Manchester City scored 30 points with 5 wins, 3 draws and 95 losses, and won the championship this season. At the same time, they also played against Real Madrid 2:1 in the Champions League final to win the Champions League.

Manchester City has finally become a new giant!
However, their main goalkeeper Hildebrand announced his retirement after the Champions League final, which is also quite emotional.

Obviously, Hildebrand is still brooding about hurting Li Tie back then, and in this way, he pays tribute to Li Tie.

And throughout the season, without Li Tie, many media and fans felt that something was missing, which is also a normal state.

Even if Manchester United is pulled down from the throne, there is still not much to describe the new champion.

Without Li Tie, the quality of the Premier League would be at least one level lower. Even fans of many clubs think that this season's Premier League title was missed. If Li Tie is still there, how can Manchester City win the championship?

On the other hand, several teams under Li Tie's command are still good.

Millwall ranked fourth in the Premier League and also qualified for the Champions League qualifiers next season.

Sneijder played very well and became the new assist leader in the Premier League. His current net worth has also soared to more than 6000 million pounds. It is reported that Real Madrid is also planning to make a move to replace the old Zidane with Sneijder.

In this regard, the club will certainly sell.

There are also people in the club who are making inquiries. The Israeli tycoon Alexander intends to acquire Millwall. However, his current bid is only 3 million pounds. On this, the two sides have not yet reached an agreement.

If it can rise a bit, it is estimated that the club will be sold.

After all, the club has so many stars and can play in the Champions League next season, 3 million pounds is too little.

Inter Milan recovered in Serie A, beating Juventus by 1 point and winning the Serie A championship this season.

Deisler and Stankovic are radiant, and the combination of the two in the middle is invincible in Serie A.

The Clippers achieved three consecutive NBA championships and created another NBA dynasty.

Kobe averaged 24.6 points per game, Dayao averaged 22.2 points per game, and Dazhi averaged 21 points per game. A team has three players with an average scoring ability of more than 20 points per game. Can they not create a dynasty?

More importantly, the Clippers made a profit of 2.5 million U.S. dollars this season, which is a very good money-making tool.
