Starting from entering Kawazu

Chapter 257
The League Cup championship awards, the atmosphere is still very good.

It is good for Manchester United players to win a championship in the tense middle and late stages of the season.

Of course, the Manchester United players are more bitter. Fortunately, the League Cup champion still submits tasteless feelings. This feeling will pass in a while.

And the Manchester United started with a League Cup championship, which is also a final charge towards all goals of the season!

The next day, the media once again expressed their views on the Manchester United's championship.

As a newly promoted team, defeating Manchester United and winning the League Cup is quite unpopular.

Just thinking about the current ranking of the Manchester United in the league, this is actually not unpopular at all.

The media spoke highly of Beckham and called on the national team to call up the old captain again to prepare for the 2010 World Cup.

Indeed, Beckham has planned four goals and is in good form, and the England national team also needs such a veteran.

In this regard, England national team coach Fabio Capello also said that he has noticed Beckham's performance and will give the old captain a chance when the time is right.

In the 28th round of the league, Manchester United defeated Fulham with 3 goals away.

In the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, the Manchester United defeated Arsenal by 1 goal in the away game and reached the semi-finals.

Then in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup, they defeated Braga by 2 goals in an away game, and they have entered the top 8 with one foot.

In these three games, Mann didn't work hard at all.

Now Mann is in a stable state, not only can win the game, but also control the scene well.

The four midfielders, Modric, Rakitic, Bale and Beckham, cooperate with each other almost seamlessly.

Their tacit cooperation, of course, allows the team to run smoothly. Most of the time, they are on the side of the ball.

When the strength of the team has reached that stage, they can control the situation and know how to win without the head coach saying anything.

In the 29th round of the league, the Manchester United defeated Newcastle United 4:1 at home. The team's main goalkeeper Ochoa returned. Although his performance was not very good, it finally brought greater assurance to the team.

Although James played steadily before, he did not have the extraordinary performance of Ochoa.

For the championship team, it is obvious that a goalkeeper like Ochoa is more reassuring.

After Newcastle United lost, they also slipped further into the abyss of relegation. Think about it a few years ago, they were still in the Champions League, but in a blink of an eye, they were already struggling for relegation.

It really echoes the old saying: 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi!
In the second round of the UEFA Cup, the Mann defeated Braga 4:0, eliminated the opponent 6:0 in the two rounds, and reached the quarterfinals.

The opponent in the quarter-finals is Dynamo Kiev.

But now Dynamo Kiev is not at all the team that dominated the Champions League. They still have no ability to stop the progress of the defending champion.

For the Mann people, the schedule is a bit unfavorable, with the host first and then the guest.

However, the strength of the Man people is indeed far superior to that of their opponents. As long as there are no major accidents, they should still be able to pass the test.

In the 30th round of the league, Mann ushered in the Greater Manchester Derby again, against Wigan Athletic.

The opponents have been tepid in the past few seasons and are firmly in the middle.

The result of the game was 0:2. The Mann defeated their opponents away and continued to move forward. They had 30 wins, 25 draws and 4 loss in 1 rounds. They were only 1 point away from the 80-point mark.

In this state, they happened to meet some rookie teams again, and the Mann just took the opportunity to consolidate their top position.

Manchester United, who were struggling to catch up, was defeated by Fulham 2-0 in this round, and they were suddenly thrown off by the Manchester United by 9 points.Compared with the stability of the Manren, doesn't this compare immediately?
However, Liverpool and Manchester City surpassed Manchester United again. Both teams now have 71 points, 8 points away from Manchester.

There are still 8 rounds in the league, and chasing 8 points in 8 rounds is not easy.

After all, Mann's performance has always been stable.

The top four in the Premier League all have more than 70 points, which is the only one in the five major leagues. There is no doubt that the competitiveness of the Premier League exceeds that of other leagues.

There are too many strong teams, and while the competition is fierce, it also leaves too many mid-lower teams behind.

No.5 Chelsea has only 62 points, No.6 Arsenal has 58 points, Everton is seventh with 55 points.

These three teams are the second group, and they can only compete for a UEFA Cup seat.

However, the Chelsea team, which already has the support of local wealthy owners, may have more opportunities, and they may be even crazier next season. Maybe they will create another rich team, and Liverpool may be topped off by then.

West Bromwich Albion in the relegation zone has completely fallen behind, and there is already a 9-point gap from Sunderland, which is fourth from the bottom, and it is basically powerless.

However, the gap between Sunderland, Newcastle United, and Middlesbrough is not big, and the gap is less than one game. It is not easy for the black cats to avoid relegation.

The next week, the world preliminaries started again, which was a headache for strong teams, for fear that the FIFA virus would infect their teams.

There are too many matches for European teams. On the one hand, it can improve the level of European football. On the other hand, it will also bring troubles to the leagues of various countries.

Once an ace player of a certain club is injured, it is likely to affect the country's league ranking.

After these two rounds, the Mann players returned to the team, but they were lucky. Except for Irving's slight muscle strain, everyone else was fine.

Owen has not played for the national team for a long time, and this time he fought a little too hard, which resulted in a slight strain.

It seems that even if Jia Yi has strengthened his physique for him, he is still prone to injury.

This is life.

Beckham is also a little tired. After all, he is still old. After returning to the national team, he has to adapt again. However, his body is stronger than Owen's and he is not injured.

But the club will definitely rotate him and let him rest for two weeks.

In the 31st round of the league, Mann defeated Portsmouth 6-0. These rounds were all weak players. Mann played very easily without losing a point. This is the strength and temperament of a champion.

Tony scored four by himself, and his teammates' crosses benefited him a lot.

Now on the league scorer list, Tony and his teammate Ronaldo have scored 28, which is really crazy.

Vardy and Adriano also scored 15 goals. These four forwards scored a total of 86 goals, which is really jaw-dropping.

In the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup, they also defeated Dynamo Kiev 6-0 at home. This time it was Adriano's turn to play the big four. He really has a way to deal with Eastern European teams. Physical confrontation always takes the lead. The advantage makes the opponent's defense feel like a mess.

With such a score, the Manchester United only need to send the second team to Kiev in the second round.

After all, there is no team that can come back after falling behind by 6 goals.

And it's not deep winter, Ukraine is not snowing heavily, and Dynamo Kiev has no chance to let the weather help.

Then in the 32nd round of the league, the Manchester United defeated Middlesbrough 1:3 in an away game, pushing their opponents into the abyss of relegation.

Playing another weak team, the Mann is indeed easy to catch.

In the subsequent quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup, Mann really sent a full substitute team to Ukraine.

尽管球队的二队在基辅遭遇了一个1:4，但是曼人还是两回合7:4过关，杀入联盟杯4强。

The top 4 opponent is still a Ukrainian team, Shakhtar Donetsk, which is not much better than Dynamo Kiev.

However, the opponent's core player Luis Adriano performed well and was the number one contributor to the team's elimination of Marseille.

At that time, two Adrianos will compete in the same field. I don't know who will be more in the limelight.
