Big back

Chapter 984 "Ambition"

The FA Cup semi-final has finally come to an end.

The final score was 2:0. In the first half, Manchester United took a two-goal lead. In the second half, the Arsenal players who seemed to have lost their spine after being hit by two conceded goals were no longer able to launch a threatening counterattack. Even Fan Bi Zhuang, Kaka and other Manchester United main players were replaced early at No. 60 minutes, but Arsenal still failed to create a chance to equalize the score and could only be eliminated in the end.

The league championship is hopeless, and the Champions League is also hard to do. Now that the last honorable title of the season has slipped away, Arsenal is doomed to face a situation where all four players are empty again this season.

As a traditional Premier League, or even a European giant, but has not been able to taste the taste of the championship for many years, Arsenal's decline has been clearly seen.

But this is football. In this world, all the praise and praise belong to the winner. No one pays attention to the Arsenal players who left the field sadly. After the game, Old Trafford fell into a crazy carnival. The fans were reluctant to leave in the stands for a long time, singing the Manchester United team anthem, shouting the names of the players, shouting "We are going to Wembley! We are going to Wembley!".

After winning this game, Manchester United has advanced to the FA Cup final with its head held high, and the other semi-final also had a result a day earlier. Manchester City successfully defeated their opponents and advanced, which means that this year's FA Cup championship , will be decided among the two teams in Manchester, and the final will be staged in the Manchester Derby.

For Manchester City, the long-term oppressive historical record is enough to make Manchester United fans full of confidence in the final victory. Although there is still one game before the final champion will be determined, Manchester United fans have obviously entered the cheering moment in advance.

"We're going to Wembley!"

"We're going to win the FA Cup!"

"This season, we must at least become the double champion!"

The fans were a little overjoyed with excitement, and even shouted the rhetoric of "double crown"-but this can be regarded as a beautiful expectation, and it is very likely to be realized. There is almost no suspense about the league championship, and As for the FA Cup, the opponent for the championship is a rival in the same city that they have suppressed for a century, and everyone has absolute confidence in defeating the opponent... In this way, it is at least the double crown of the season!

The fans were making noise in the stands, and the Manchester United players were also excitedly interacting with the fans on the pitch.

Fan Bizhuang took off his jersey, held it in his hand, and threw it to the stands. While causing countless fans to scream, it also caused a lot of contention.

"Giving" the jersey to the fans is also a way of giving benefits. Kaka also took off his jersey and threw it towards the stands. He wrapped his shirtless shirt around Fan Bizhuang's shoulders and sighed. In the final, the fans were very excited, ha, the slogan of the double crown was shouted out... But this is not a lie, the season double crown, we are very likely to achieve it!"

"At least the double crown!" Fan Bizhuang nodded, then turned his head, and corrected solemnly, "Remember, at least... Actually, my goal is the triple crown!"

Kaka froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "You guy, don't you count the Community Shield as well?"

"I mean the Champions League!"

Fan Bizhuang said seriously.

"..."

Kaka did not expect that Fan Bizhuang's "ambition" would be so big. It is true that Manchester United rarely meets opponents in the Premier League this season, but the Champions League is full of strong teams. In addition to strength, it also needs a little luck. No matter how powerful the giants are, they dare not say that they can secure the Champions League.

In fact, in Kaka's view, Manchester United is definitely qualified to compete for the Champions League trophy. The lineup is neat, the stars are numerous, the state is excellent, and there are no worries about the league. Manchester United can focus more on the Champions League.

This is all the advantages of Manchester United today.

But thinking about it this way, Kaka felt that there is no such smooth sailing in the world. After all, Fan Bizhuang and himself only joined the team this year. Always maintain this state and level this season, there will always be a day of luck, coupled with its own strong strength, it is by no means difficult to win the Big Ears Cup.

Kaka is also an "ambitious" player. He believes that if the team continues to play like this, within two to three seasons, they will definitely be able to win the Champions League trophy.

This is already an expression of confidence in the team.

As a result, Fan Bizhuang was more confident and ambitious than him, and even told him bluntly that he was going to win the Champions League trophy this season and achieve the Triple Crown!

"Are you joking? Although our current situation looks good, it is uncertain whether we can go all the way to the end. You know, things like cup games often require luck..."

Kaka looked at Fan Bizhuang, but he didn't finish his sentence, and was interrupted by Fan Bizhuang: "I don't make jokes about such things. Besides, even if I can joke, but do you think the boss will?" Is this a joke?"

Fan Bizhuang glanced at Ferguson, who was walking around the stadium and enjoying the fans' cheers. He was very aware of the old man's ambitions. The extremely persistent and fanatical Scottish old man will never let the opportunity to achieve the Triple Crown slip away.

"Boss? Why is he involved again? Did the boss tell you that his goal this season is to win the Champions League?"

Kaka made a suspicious voice, but got no answer, and Fan Bizhuang ran away with his upper body naked.

……

The FA Cup promotion to the final is something that makes the whole Manchester United team, from the coaches to the players, to the fans, extremely excited.Although this event is often called "chicken ribs", it is also a championship honor anyway, and it is also exciting enough to have the opportunity to compete.

The news about Manchester United's victory over Arsenal to advance to the final appeared on the front pages of major sports newspapers in England the next day, which naturally attracted a lot of praise and admiration for Manchester United from the outside world.

However, Manchester United has temporarily hidden such joy, and there is not much time left for them to rejoice and celebrate, because the second round of the one-eighth knockout match with Marseille is just around the corner.

The day after Molina bid farewell to Fan Bizhuang and left Manchester, the French giants Marseille came to Manchester.

On the 17th, Old Trafford was once again full of seats, and red waves rolled over every corner of the stands, "We are Manchester United!" "We will advance to the quarter-finals!" "We will go further!" etc. Slogans and banners like these were flying wantonly over the stadium.

For this game, the fans of the home team undoubtedly have great confidence. In the first round of the confrontation between the two teams, Manchester United defeated the opponent 2:1 in the away game. While winning the victory, they also scored two away goals. This can be said to have taken a huge advantage in the two rounds of knockout rounds.

In the eyes of many home team fans, this game is almost a cutscene. After nine or ten minutes, the whistle sounds, and Manchester United will advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season!

……

The away victory in the first round did allow Manchester United's players to deal with the game with a relatively relaxed attitude.

However, Ferguson still paid great attention to the second round. In the past few days, the training has been meticulous, and even the task load has increased compared with usual.

And in the locker room before the game, Ferguson also repeatedly told his disciples not to underestimate the opponent because of the victory in the first game. A team that can reach the knockout stage has two brushes no matter what. , In the history of the Champions League, there are not no examples of losing in the first round, but coming back in the second round. As for the examples of weak teams defeating strong teams and advancing, there are many examples.

Ferguson doesn't want his team to be a "negative example".

He repeatedly warned the players that they must go all out and play this game as the Champions League final.

In the "speech" mobilized by Ferguson before the game, Kaka's doubts were also answered.

"We have had a very good start to the season, our good form has continued, we have defeated many strong teams, we have overcome unspeakable difficulties...we won the Community Shield, we scored points in the league The top spot is clear and four days ago we beat Arsenal to reach the FA Cup final..."

"I'm not saying this to say we've done enough to stop and take a break. Instead, I'm saying it's not enough! Not enough!"

"... I think this will be a great season, a great season for us, because we have the ability to achieve higher and greater breakthroughs! We won the Community Shield and we will also win the league trophy , and the FA Cup, we are bound to win... Of course, there is also the Champions League..."

At this point, almost all the players in the locker room opened their eyes wide, winning all the trophies that can be won in domestic competitions. There is a desire for the Big Ears Cup. After all, this is the highest honor for European clubs. Who doesn't want it?This is the greatest manifestation of one's own ability and value.

But it's just thinking about it. Everyone knows the difficulty of winning the Big Ears Cup. Manchester United is very strong, but it is not strong enough to sweep many powerful European powers.

What surprised them was that Ferguson not only coveted the UEFA Champions League like them, but also expressed his ambition so frankly in front of them.

Kaka looked at Fan Bizhuang who was sitting on the bench with a calm face. He remembered what Fan Bizhuang said before. It seems that this guy really knows the boss very well.

"Yes, I can tell you very clearly that this season, our goal is not the double crown, not the triple crown... but the quadruple crown! The Champions League is our biggest goal! We have such strength and such ability, this will be a season that belongs to us, and we will create a miracle that belongs to red in this season!"

"So, I don't allow my team to make any mistakes!"

"Go all out, win this game, and advance to the quarter-finals! This is the beginning of the knockout round, and it is also the starting point for us to go to the championship!"

Ferguson loudly inspired his disciples.

And after the players came to their senses, their eyes lit up.The head coach is right. In this year's domestic arena, they have no opponents. They can devote themselves to the European competition. Perhaps, this season, they may really stabilize the top of Europe!

"victory!"

"victory!!"

The players pumped their fists and shouted in high spirits.
