Vol 4 Chapter 3: The old story of the UEFA Cup
On May 20, 2008, Zhuo Yang came from the Chinese King Wanliqin, running through the congested streets of Manchester to the City Stadium, and led AC Milan to a 3:2 victory over Zenit St. Petersburg.
That day was the UEFA Cup final of the 07-08 season, and that scene was the most classic moment in UEFA Cup history. And that time, AC Milan also won the only UEFA Cup in team history so far, achieving the three major European Cup Slams.
It was not AC Milan's counsel before, but it was because of their strong strength, either playing in the Champions League or the previous Cup Winners' Cup, the UEFA Cup is difficult to accommodate the Rossoneri.
The same is true for Manchester United. The Red Devils have won the Champions League and the Cup Winners' Cup, but have never been able to make the UEFA Cup. In history, there were only seven battles, and seven times did not go too far. At that time, the UEFA Cup's influence was too low and it was not attractive to the giants.
The most recent was the 95-96 season, when the absent-minded Manchester United was eliminated by Volgograd in the first round.
Manchester United does not have a UEFA Cup, and Sir Alex Ferguson is never uncommon. In May 2017, Mourinho led Manchester United to the UEFA Cup final for the first time.
Mu Bird is rare in the UEFA Cup, because his road to celebrity coach started from this tournament. 14 years ago, he led Porto to win the UEFA Cup and won the Champions League the following year. Mourinho hopes to replicate this process in Manchester United.
In the summer of 2016, the Manchester City duo ushered in Gua and Mu, and Manchester United and Manchester City also pave the way for them. However, after one season, Gua and Mu were competing in the league, and they were finally fourth and sixth. The limelight was all overshadowed by **** Kongpo, and the voice of questioning them never stopped.
If it weren’t for the fact that Gua and Mu had been through all the troubles in the European battlefield, the media should focus on discussing which one of them would end get out of class first.
At the beginning of the year, Mourinho won the League Cup. The media joked that it was his life-saving straw, just like Wenger's ‘insulation cup’. Mourinho did not refute, but he was very unconvinced. After the league was hopeless, he shifted all the focus to the UEFA Cup.
Along the way, Manchester United overturned St. Etienne, Rostov, Anderlecht, and Celta Vigo. The process was not smooth, but they finally entered the final.
Manchester United's opponent is Ajax.
Dutch football has been experiencing a low ebb in recent years, and the loss of talent is a very important reason. But it is not fair to say that there is no one after the 90s in the Netherlands.
In the final, Reggia started with only one post-80s. Of course, it is also true that seven of the ten post-90s are not Dutch.
Defender Jero Riedwald, who is not yet 21 years old, is Dutch and he is of Surinamese descent. He and today's same starting defender, Matteis Delicht, who is under 18, have attracted the close attention of European giants.
Just five minutes into the game, Ridwald was injured while defending Fellaini and was unable to continue the game. After coach Peter Botz's deliberation, he did not continue to play as a young man. Instead, he replaced Heiko Westman, the 34-year-old former Bundesliga German defender Heiko Westman, who is currently the second oldest in the team.
Zhuo Yang did not watch the FA Cup final, but he watched the live broadcast of the UEFA Cup final today. It is not that he has a choice in watching the game, but that he is free today.
Seeing the young to verdant guards in Jia's House, and seeing the gully Westman, Zhuo Yang was happy for his old teammates in the finals while wandering in his thoughts.
Once upon a time, Fort Madi also had a young and talented defense line, but who else is there now?
Rigbert Laosong retired after the 2010 World Cup. After working as a head coach in his hometown for a few years, it was not that piece of material, so he honestly became a profiteer. Now I am running to China all day, and I am still live-streaming the goods on the Internet, having fun. Lao Song is not short of money, he has two oil wells.
Pompon Louis is in Paris. Chelsea wanted to buy him back last year, but Pompon didn't let them think about it.
Thomas Vermaelen was in Barcelona, injured and sick all day, like confinement, except for his salary, it was difficult to see people at other times. But Barcelona does not dislike him, because Vermaelen has the attribute of ‘Injury Fuwa’. As long as he is injured, there will be no major injuries on the team.
In the past two years, May’s teeth and even all the important players have not been seriously ill, Vermaelen has contributed the most.
The square film Grosso retired at the end of 2012 and he is now the head coach of Juventus U19. Rock Delas was also retired that year. He is now working as an assistant to the youth training in Fort Madi.
After the **** of Bacchus Yuri Zhirkov left Chelsea, after several twists and turns, now Zenit St. Petersburg has regained his form and returned to the Russian national team.
‘Jesus’ Ziglinski has finished playing this season and plans to leave Dortmund, either to Turkey or to the Chinese Super League, and he is very hopeless to start retirement.
These are the earlier departures from Fort Madi.
‘Wastewood’ Michel Zepek retired in Fort Madi in the summer of 2015, not because of his 34-year-old age, but mainly because of injuries. In the past two years, he has built a ditch in the mountains to raise pigs, which is very profitable.
Marcel Schaefer moved to Wolfsburg in 2014. After playing for three years, he plans to go to the Major Leagues this summer.
Shasa Ritter moved to Schalke 04 in 2015 and is still there today. He is called ‘Little Ram’, although in fact Ritter is half a year older than Ram, and he is also 34.
Salvarreto Bochetti moved to Sparta Moscow last summer, where he was the main central defender this season.
These few left Fort Madi after the age of 30, and they are considered to have dedicated their youth on the peninsula. What a gathering of elites was the defense line of Fort Mady at that time.
Today, the only old man in the back defense of that year is the 34-year-old "Bagma" Ackerman, and the 30-year-old Serdar Tashchi who has become a master after being loaned out for several training sessions. Zhuo Yang played the last home game in Fort Madi. Before the final game, Tashkent came off the bench for the first time on behalf of the first team, which was barely overlapping.
Unconsciously, it has been so long.
.
Ajax is very young, UU reading www.uukánshu. com is still immature after all. Although there are promising new stars in the team such as Traore, Kluivert, Frankie De Jong, Davidson Sanchez, Dericht, etc., they still lose to the old Manchester United.
Today Ibrahimovic was injured and missed, Rashford was a cover in front, Manchester United in the first half with the goals of two well-known midfielders Pogba and Mkhitaryan, leading 2:0.
Westman was very unlucky. Although neither of the two goals lost was his pot, coach Peter Botz, in order to adjust his tactics after falling behind, replaced him with 20-year-old Brazilian forward David Neres at the beginning of the second half. .
The substitute came on stage and was replaced in advance, and Westerman ended his one-year trip to Jiafu in this way. After this game, he will return to Fort Madi and will not go anywhere until he retires.
Pickled Westman also failed in exchange for Ajax's turn, and 2:0 was also the final score. Mourinho did what Ferguson failed to do. He made Manchester United a European Grand Slam team.
Next, everyone's eyes focused on the Champions League final, Manchester City and Real Madrid.
