Manchester United legend

Chapter 218 Champions League Journey
In the 36th round, Manchester United defeated Watford 3-2 with Jost's brace and continued to create a winning streak. In the 37th round, Manchester United defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 with Jost's brace. Jost scored twice in two consecutive games.

After the game, all the Red Devils players lined up to officially receive the English Premier League championship trophy.

At the VIP table, Manchester United invited Eric Cantona, the former king of the Theater of Dreams, who has made great contributions, to come back to watch the ceremony.

The legend of the Red Devils also applauded and congratulated this elite division who attacked like mercury.In the 38th round, Manchester United won 1-0 away at Aston Villa, marking a perfect end for the league.

Starting from the defeat to Newcastle United in February, Manchester United has started a great conquest in the Premier League that lasted for more than 2 months.

一直到赛季结束的第38轮客场1比0力克维拉，曼联在这14轮里又一次打出了不败的惊人纪录，刷新了此前在对纽卡之前创造的12场不败纪录。

Not only undefeated, Manchester United also created an extremely terrifying 11-game winning streak in the last 11 rounds!The Red Devils advanced like a broken bamboo all the way in the fiery journey, and the opponent's obstruction was like a mantis holding a cart, vulnerable to a single blow.

It can be said that the top players in the league shy away and are frightened by the news.Manchester United has maintained a dominant performance against the Premier League. It has occupied the top spot in the standings since January 2000 and has not been overtaken by other teams.

Such an astonishing record is enough for Manchester United to dominate, and Ferguson's team dominated the entire league powerfully.

This is the Premier League that belongs to Manchester United, and this is the red dynasty years that belong to Ferguson!It is also the honor of Manchester United's 92 youth class. The 92 youth class has completely taken over Manchester United.

The UEFA Champions League in the 1999-2000 season was a memorable journey for Manchester United fans. The team failed to defend the title in the end, and the team's performance was far from meeting the expectations of the fans.

Many Red Devils fans only thought that Manchester United's 92 generation could kill the Quartet, continue to maintain Manchester United's dominance in Europe, and even continue to strengthen Manchester United's dominance in Europe, but the facts gave the fans a severe blow.

In the past year, the Manchester United lineup has undergone minor adjustments. Although Manchester United's 92 generation is still in its prime, and although the most dazzling superstar David Beckham is still playing well, Manchester United's fatal flaws on the defensive end still have not improved. Compared with last season, there is still a lot of regression.

For Ferguson, "there is no flower in a hundred days", winning the Champions League last season was already the pinnacle of his career, and the difficulty of this season's Champions League can be imagined.

Ferguson actually didn't have much idea of ​​"defending the title" in his heart, but the result of the setback in the top 8 still made him full of resignation-in his heart, no matter how this Manchester United team under his command should be able to reach the top 4 or the final, right? !
The UEFA Champions League was restructured in the 1999-2000 season, expanding and adding a round of qualifiers.After the qualifiers, a total of 32 teams participated in the group stage.

The group stage is divided into two stages. In the first stage, 32 teams are divided into 8 groups, with 4 teams in each group for a group round robin. The top two in each group enter the second stage of the group stage, and No.3 enters the third round of the UEFA Cup.

The 16 teams entering the second stage of the group stage will be divided into 4 groups, with 4 teams in each group for a round robin match, and the top two teams in each group will qualify for the top 8. After the top 8 is the home and away knockout round, and finally until the final.

The opponents Manchester United encountered in the first stage of the Champions League group stage were not strong, and only one Marseille was considered a hard point.Ferguson's side haven't had much trouble at this stage either.

Manchester United was tied 0-0 at home by the Croatians in Zagreb, but they started to show off in the second game. They won 3-0 away in Graz, and then won 2-1 at home in Marseille, taking the initiative in the group stage.

Although the away game was 0 to 1 in Marseille, they then won the Zagreb Croats and Graz with the same score of 2 to 1, and finally entered the second stage of the group stage as the first in the group stage.

In the second stage of the group stage, Manchester United was divided into Group B. The opponents were Fiorentina in Serie A, Bordeaux in Ligue [-] and Valencia in La Liga.Manchester United was defeated by Fiorentina in the first group match, which broke out a moderate upset.

Although the Fiorentina coached by Trapattoni has famous stars such as Batistuta, Rui Costa and Toldo in the team, it is a strong team in Serie A.

The Manchester United team in Italy was out of shape, and the game was sluggish and slow throughout the game. They didn't get a few good chances to score goals. Instead, their defense made continuous mistakes and gave gifts to their opponents.

Before the game, the media paid attention to whether Jost would renew his contract with Manchester United. However, Jost failed in such a match that could be called a strong dialogue.

In the second half, Borg made another mistake in the defense and was directly grabbed by Batistuta while defending the opponent's long pass. The triple crown Manchester United team's stars were dim, and they swallowed the bitter fruit of the first game.

In the second game of the group stage, Manchester United played against Valencia in Spain at home. As a result, the Red Devils defeated their opponents cleanly 3-0.

Jost regained his form and was full of vitality. In the first half, he intercepted the opponent's clearance ball outside the penalty area and scored the first record for Manchester United with a long shot, which opened the prelude to the big victory.

In the second half, Beckham assisted twice in a row, both of which were precise passes from the right to find the opponent. Solskjaer and Scholes made contributions in front of the goal. In the end, Ferguson's team easily defeated the opponent with three goals.

In the next two games of the group stage, Manchester United's opponents were both Bordeaux. The Red Devils played against the Ligue 2 powerhouses at home and away, winning 0-2 and 1-[-] respectively.

On January 2000, 1, Manchester United set another magical record against Bordeaux.

Although Manchester United had an advantage in the half-time game, they had no way to deal with Bordeaux who retreated across the board after one man was sent off. Ferguson replaced Solskjaer in the final stage of the game.

Babyface came on with 7 minutes left, 7 seconds later he received a long pass from van der Gooed and put the ball into the opponent's goal with great composure!
From playing to scoring, the Norwegian only took 7 seconds!Manchester United, which has won 3 games in a row, began to win the initiative and ranked first in the group points.

In the crucial fifth game of the group stage, Manchester United returned to home against Fiorentina.

The trend of Fiorentina and Manchester United in the group stage is exactly the opposite. After they defeated Manchester United 2-0 at home in the first round, they ushered in an unimaginable 2-game losing streak. If they can't win this game, their hopes of qualifying are almost shattered.
