Football career: From winning the championship to becoming a legend

In addition, the two semi-finals were not as thrilling and exciting as those between Liverpool and Arsenal, but they were both successful without any major incidents.

Chelsea lost 1-2 in Istanbul last week; but historically, the Premier League Blues were able to turn the tables in the second leg 10 out of 6 times they lost in the first leg.

而且自2006年2月1比2负于巴塞罗那以来，小破车在欧战已经连续26个月主场不败，10场比赛7胜3平。

At the same time, home team Fenerbahce's performance on the road is unusually weak. The last time they won an away game in European competitions was against Spartak Prague in November 2004. The most recent Champions League away game in England was a 11-2 defeat to Manchester United.

Although the famous Brazilian coach Zico racked his brains, he was unable to change the fate of being eliminated.

Chelsea got off to a dream start in the 4th minute, with Ballack heading in a free kick from Lampard, scoring his second goal of the season in the Champions League and his 2th in 68 Champions League games, helping Chelsea equalize the aggregate score and have the advantage on away goals.

然后就是切尔西直到比赛的最后三分钟，才由埃辛助攻兰帕德打进第二球。最终切尔西以2比0拿下比赛的胜利，并以两回合3比2的总比分淘汰费内巴切晋级欧冠4强。

而最后一个四强名额，则是留给了在主场1比0小胜沙尔克04的巴塞罗那。亚亚-图雷的个人首粒欧战入球帮助巴萨以总比分2比0拿下最后一张四强门票。

At this point, the quarter-finals of this season's UEFA Champions League have all ended. Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​Chelsea and Liverpool have advanced to the semi-finals. The specific matchups are: Manchester United VS Barcelona, ​​Liverpool VS Chelsea.

Therefore, the upper half of the Champions League semi-finals will be held on April 4, with Barcelona first playing against Manchester United at home, and then on April 23, Barcelona will challenge the Premier League Red Devils at Old Trafford.

It is worth mentioning that April 4 will be the first time that Manchester United returns to Barcelona's home stadium after lifting the last Champions League trophy at Camp Nou; it will also be the first time that Ricardo Liqui will play against his old club on behalf of Manchester United.

Ricardo secretly took a look at Barcelona's midfield and frontcourt lineup for the match against Schalke. Not counting the injured Messi, in addition to the old brothers such as Xavi, Marcos, Iniesta, Eto'o, there are also strong reinforcements such as Yaya Toure, Bojan, Giovanni, Henry and Gudjohnsen...

Looking at the list of substitutes who did not appear on the field, Ricardo felt a pang of pain in his teeth. Fortunately, he left early, otherwise it would be difficult for him to make a comeback!

Recently, the mainstream European bookmakers have released the latest odds for winning the championship. Manchester United continues to be the favorite, while last year's runner-up Liverpool has become the least favored team, while Chelsea and Barcelona are tied behind Manchester United.

After the match with Roma, Manchester United has won 11 consecutive home games in European competitions, breaking their previous record of ten consecutive wins in European competitions shared with Juventus.

In the post-match press conference, Sir Alex Ferguson was particularly proud of this: "Our home record is very good and we are proud of it. The European arena is very difficult. We are very disciplined and finally maintained this record. As a team, we are growing."

As for the semi-final against Barcelona, ​​Ferguson seemed confident: "If our squad is complete, then we must have a chance, there will always be teams that lose, and we are all looking forward to the game.

We also have Ricardo who knows the Barca style very well. I believe he will be very motivated against Barcelona. I am looking forward to his performance against Barcelona... Oh? Puyol will miss the first leg due to accumulated yellow cards? That's interesting, he is a very good player. "

Hearing that Sir Alex wanted to see him slap Barcelona in the face, Ricardo was not so blindly optimistic;

Because the two semi-finals against Barcelona starting in two weeks are sandwiched between the Premier League title battle away to Chelsea. It is not known whether Sir Alex Ferguson will try to do both and do both well; but three tough battles within seven days, two of which are away games, is definitely a devilish schedule!

Therefore, this weekend's home league match against Arsenal is also crucial to Manchester United's fate this season.

Winning will not only eliminate the Gunners from the Premier League title race, but also consolidate their three-point advantage over Chelsea. This means that as long as they don't lose points to weaker teams, even if they lose to Chelsea away, Manchester United can successfully defend their title with a goal difference advantage.

However, if they lose points this weekend, their trip to Stafford Bridge between the Champions League semi-finals may be unpredictable. Injuries and schedule disadvantages may wipe out all the advantages that the Red Devils have accumulated so far, leaving them empty-handed...

In addition, the Gunners, who were eliminated from the Champions League, are the only team among the top four Premier League teams that only have the league to compete for. If they want to reverse the 4-point disadvantage, they must win at Old Trafford, so the Gunners who are out this weekend should not be underestimated.

As the competition day approaches, Emma Watson, who has been playing for a week, finally says goodbye to her gigolo...

Of course the main reason is that Sarafina, who has returned to her normal rhythm, is coming to Manchester to visit her little male lover, so the scumbag Lee can't stay in Emma's room;

And Emma didn't want to accompany Sarah to watch the match between Manchester United and Arsenal. After all, the image of a gigolo has been deeply rooted in the past few days, and the previous mystery, curiosity and worship have dissipated a lot.

After sending Emma away, the scumbag Li hurried back home to arrange for the housekeeping team to clean up. After all, he had not been home for nearly a week and had to go back to the base for training in the evening.

However, just when the scumbag Li Gang got home, he received a message from Emma before boarding the plane. It was a piece of news:

After three months of investigation and statistics, the new issue of "France Football" released the 3 coaches' income ranking list.

The 45-year-old unemployed Mourinho continued to dominate the list of top-earning coaches with a total income of 2900 million euros thanks to the huge breakup fee paid by Abramovich.

Ranked second is the 62-year-old Italian England coach, Capello, with an annual income of 1420 million euros.

The third is Ricardo's boss, 66-year-old Manchester United's Sir Alex Ferguson, with an annual income of 740 million euros...

Ricardo suffered another critical blow, even the head coach's income was more than 4 times his.

Well! I heard that the club has informed Raiola that they will start contract renewal negotiations immediately after the season ends, and it is said that his salary will increase significantly.

La Pang also specifically told Ricardo to perform well at the end of the season.

Then let Nana, your classmate, help you this weekend!

At 2008:4 on the afternoon of April 13, 16, the weather at Old Trafford was sunny and pleasant, just after a heavy spring rain, which was particularly suitable for the game.

However, before the game, the Premier League organizing committee first awarded a small reward to Manchester United's players and coaches who have been in great form recently: Sir Alex Ferguson and Cristiano Ronaldo were jointly awarded the Premier League's official best coach and best player in March.

In the games in March, Manchester United achieved four consecutive league victories. What's more terrifying is that the Red Devils did not allow their opponents to score a single goal.

Ronaldo has scored 26 goals in the league, 6 goals ahead of Torres, who is second in the scorer list. (Data as of the end of March)

Not to mention that Sir Alex Ferguson won the Coach of the Month award for the 21st time in his career, Ricardo was drooling as he watched Cristiano Ronaldo win the Premier League Player of the Month award for the fourth time, and he was extremely envious: Why hasn't he won it yet? How can he get it? He is extremely envious!

This also slightly boosted the morale of Manchester United's players and provided a small-scale positive buff.
