Chapter 413: Light horse
With Manchester United drawing Real Madrid, the Red Devils, which were originally optimistic in the Champions League, were widely viewed as declining. Especially the odds of the major spinach companies can be called a barometer.
Before the draw result came out, Manchester United were the team with the lowest odds of winning the championship. They led 8 teams with a loss of 2.5. However, after the draw, their odds fell to third place all at once. The Western Super League doubles overtake Manchester United in the odds and ranks in the top two. In the latest odds of Bwin's Champions League win, Barcelona 1 2.4 is the biggest hit, Real Madrid 1 is 2.7, followed by Manchester United. 1 of 2.5 fell to 1 in 3 and ranked third, but overall, the odds of the three teams are not much different. But the fourth Bayern only lost 8.5 for 1 and the gap between the odds of the previous three teams is relatively large.
The reason why Manchester United is disappointed is because Real Madrid's strength is the closest to Manchester United. At the same time, Real Madrid also has the advantage of the schedule before the guest and the main. This is the main basis for all parties to determine that Real Madrid has a greater chance of winning.
Seeing the results of such a draw, Bell was also speechless. It seems that this season Manchester United want to successfully defend the title, the difficulty is really not ordinary. First of all, you have to pass the Real Madrid level, and then you have to face the test of King Nanda. And in the final, it is likely to be the blues Chelsea facing Di Mateo, the son of destiny.
I don't know who is more fortunate in his duel with Di Matteo, the son of destiny?
………………
The UEFA Champions League is not something that Manchester United needs to consider right away, because the first round of the game between the two sides was on the evening of March 27, almost two weeks away. Before that, Manchester United had to play one FA Cup and two Premier League games.
Two days later, on March 17, Manchester United played at home and ushered in the FA Cup quarter-final opponent Sky City. Bell got a rest in this game, and he was seated in the stands and witnessed an unbeatable victory for Manchester United who played in the bench.

However, the match between Tottenham and Bolton was postponed for some reason.
In the subsequent FA Cup semi-final draw, Manchester United won the winner between Everton and Sunderland, which means that their opponents will be determined later. The situation of the Blues is similar to that of Manchester United. Their opponents can only be decided afterwards.
………………
In the middle of the week, Manchester United went to Wolverhampton Park Stadium for a league match. The game was originally played on the weekend, but because of the FA Cup, it had to be postponed.
In the UK, this situation is very common. In order to express the importance of the FA Cup, the league has to give way whenever the schedule of the league and the FA Cup matches conflict.
But in fact, the choice of the team's players can truly reflect the importance of the game.
It's like the game for Manchester United. Although Manchester United has determined that the highest goal of the season is to defend the Triple Crown, but Ferguson faced Stoke City on the weekend, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the bench. Fortunately, the young people of Manchester United scrambled to win the city of the sky, which is not weak.
But by the middle of the week, against the Wolves in the relegation zone, although the team led by 16 points in the standings, Ferguson did not hesitate to send the strongest lineup in his hand.
Bell, who had been recuperating for 10 days, also played in this game. As a result, the main Manchester United he led was magically made at Wolverhampton Park Stadium, leading the Wolves 5:0 in the first half. In the third minute, Bell used an assault on the left to break through the Wolves' gate through a single ride. In the 21st minute, the Manchester United team broke again with Evans in the corner kick, assisted by Bell. In the 30th minute, Bell staged an assist and scored twice to help Ashley Young score a goal, rewriting the score on the field to 3:0. In the 43rd minute, Rooney sent a direct pass, Valencia took the ball in the midfield, and ran 50 meters on the right high speed until the opponent's penalty area shot from a small angle. In the first half stoppage time, Welbeck scored a goal, Manchester United led 5:0.
Easy side fight again, in the 56th minute, Ashley Young crosses from the right, Hernandez header header. In the 61st minute, Hernandez scored twice and set the score to 7:0.
Since then, the Wolves have two chances to counterattack, but was saved by the Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea. Eventually the Red Devils won a big victory and continued to rank first in the Premier League with a huge advantage of 16 points.
………………
Three days later, at noon on Saturday, March 24, Manchester United took the lead in the 30th round of the Premier League.
Because he is going to face Real Madrid at home on Tuesday night, Ferguson has implemented a big rotation for the team in this game, including Bell, Sneijder and other teams iron main seats on the bench, while Pogba and Kan The two reserve team teenagers were lucky enough to get their debut in the Premier League.
Pogba's performance in this debut was very general, perhaps too excited, he did not play the level of previous appearances in the League Cup and the FA Cup. On the contrary, it was Kanter who performed amazingly. As a midfielder, not only did he not leak water on the defensive side, he even showed great potential on the offensive side. Manchester United finally relied on his assists and Rooney scored the only goal in the game.
In the 42nd minute, Ashley Young crossed from the left. The ball fell right in front of Kanter after hitting Risse. The French teenager who appeared in the Premier League for the first time in his career fell to the ground and crossed the road. Rooney made a right foot on the edge of the penalty area. Push the top corner to break the door.
Chubby recently scored 17 goals on behalf of Manchester United in the main game and scored 17 goals. It was also the eighth time in his Premier League to break Fulham City Pool.
In the end, the big rotation Manchester United 1-0 victory over Fulham took all three points. Since Manchester City played in the ensuing draw, they were tied 1:1 by Stoke City. Manchester United's advantage over the Blue Moon has expanded to 18 points.
With only 10 rounds left in the league, it is only a matter of time before Manchester United win the 20th top league title in team history.
………………
As the points gap widened, Mancini's team showed an overwhelming appearance in the game. After the game, the Italian coach outraged and categorically refused to attend the press conference. Assistant coach David Pratt followed In the middle of the week, Mancini's remarks briefly analyzed the game.
When Chelsea reversed midweek, Manchester City's coach admitted that his team was under more pressure than Manchester United. After all, Manchester City joined the English Premier League for the first time since 1977. Manchester United is the only overlord in the Premier League in 20 years.
"It's normal to say that we are under more pressure than Manchester United! Because everyone knows that Manchester United has been at the peak of the Premier League for 20 years."
Mancini is right, even if there are Blackburn, Arsenal and Chelsea teams disrupting, but no team can shake Manchester United's Premier League dominance.
"It's quite common for them to compete for the championship, and for us, this is the first time, we only led the first 7 months of the season."
Since the restructuring of the Premier League, Manchester United has been in the championship every season. The Red Devils have reversed Newcastle's past 12 points to win the championship. Mancini knows this.
Despite Manchester United's unparalleled experience advantage, Mancini insisted that he was reveling in this high-pressure atmosphere. He hopes that this season's Premier League championship will be the same as the two-ball reversal of Chelsea at the last minute of the week.
"I like the feeling that we have really not played well in the past month, but at some special moments throughout the season, maybe one or two games can reverse the situation."
Mancini obviously hoped that the Red Devils would crash at some later time, but this hope was really too vague.
What's more, with the huge goal difference, even if Manchester City won in the next ten rounds, the Red Devils only need to get 12 more points in the next 10 leagues, and they can basically use the goal difference. The ball overwhelmed Manchester City and won the championship.
With 12 points in 10 rounds, even if the Red Devils crash again, it can’t be done?
And after the draw to Stoke City~lightnovelpub.net~ Assistant coach Pratt basically said down the line of Mancini's speech in the middle of the week: "We know that it is very difficult to play in Britannia, but we Only by constantly accumulating points, I believe we can reverse the decline. Everyone may say: Look! Manchester City lost 2 points, but it may not be until the end of the season that people realize that we have got 1 precious point in this field. There are enough games, we can take back these lost."
Later, Pratt explained the game in detail: "In this game, both teams want to win, everyone will do anything. But the league is like a long road, there will be many twists and turns along the way, we will follow our own ideas, we have been focusing on the entire season , And has won many games, we can continue to win before the last moment arrives. Our players have played very hard, they have played their highest level, from now on we will be actively preparing for the next game ."
Manchester City Cole Touré said: "It seems difficult to play a good game in Britannia. Today we are very disappointed, but even if we lose 2 points, this is a pretty good result. Because everyone Everyone knows that for the championship team, every point is intuitive and important. We now want to play all games as the last round. Stoke City played well in this game. They gave us a big enough pressure."
Goal scorer Yaya Touré said: "Now the most important thing is not to panic. Today we are drawing a good team. We must continue to work hard and always believe in ourselves. We must know to go to a far away away game It’s difficult, and Stoke City is strong enough. I think we should learn from this lesson and play every game in the future.”
