With Manchester United drawing Real Madrid, the Red Devils, who were originally optimistic in the Champions League, were suddenly widely looked down upon. Especially the odds of the major gambling companies can be called a barometer.

Before the result of the draw came out, Manchester United was the team with the lowest odds of winning the championship. They led 8 teams with a loss of 2.5. However, after the draw ended, their odds fell to third place all of a sudden. The Western Super League duo overtook Manchester United in terms of odds, ranking in the top two. In the latest odds offered by Bwin to win the Champions League, Barcelona is the biggest favorite at 2.4 to 1, followed by Real Madrid at 2.7 to 1. 1 lost 2.5 to 1 lost 3 and ranked third, but overall, the odds of these three teams are not much different. However, the fourth-ranked Bayern is only 8.5 to 1, and the odds gap with the previous three teams is relatively large.

The reason why Manchester United is looked down upon is because Real Madrid's strength is the closest to Manchester United, and Real Madrid also has the advantage of the schedule advantage of first guest and then host. This is the main basis for all parties to judge that Real Madrid has a greater possibility of winning.

Seeing the result of such a lottery, Bell was also very speechless. It seems that the difficulty for Manchester United to successfully defend their title this season is really not ordinary. First of all, you have to pass the barrier of Real Madrid, and then you have to face the test of Nan Dawang. And in the final, it is very likely that it will be the Blues Chelsea facing the son of Destiny, Di Matteo.

I don't know who is more lucky in the duel between myself and Di Matteo, the son of destiny?

………………

The Champions League is not something that Manchester United needs to consider immediately, because the first round of the two sides is on the night of March 27, and there are still almost two weeks from now. Before that, Manchester United had to play an FA Cup and two Premier League games.

Two days later, on March 17, Manchester United sat at home and ushered in the FA Cup quarter-final opponent Sky City. Bale got a rest in this game. Sitting in the stands, he witnessed a narrow victory for Manchester United with a substitute lineup.

Bell's two little brothers, Pogba and Kanter, got the chance to start again and performed very well. Pogba scored a goal, and Kanter was impeccable in defense. In the end, Manchester United won 2:1 at Old Trafford Rick Stoke City took the lead in reaching the semi-finals of the FA Cup this season.

In the match between Everton and Sunderland on the same day, the two sides drew 1:1, and a rematch was required.

In the match between Chelsea and Leicester City the next afternoon, the Blues led by Di Matteo won 5:2 at home, following Manchester United to advance.

However, the game between Tottenham and Bolton was postponed for some reason.

In the subsequent FA Cup semi-final draw, Manchester United drew the winner between Everton and Sunderland, which means that their opponents will not be determined until later. The situation of the Blues is similar to that of Manchester United, and their opponents will have to be decided later.

………………

In the middle of the week, Manchester United went to Wolverhampton Park Stadium for a league match. The match was originally to be played at the weekend, but it had to be postponed because of the FA Cup.

In the UK, such situations are very common. In order to show the importance of the FA Cup, whenever the schedule of the league and the FA Cup conflict, the league has to give way.

But in fact, the selection of the team's players can truly reflect the importance attached to the game.

Just like this game of Manchester United, although Manchester United has determined that the highest goal of this season is to defend the Triple Crown, when Ferguson faced Stoke City at the weekend, he did not hesitate to use a substitute lineup. Fortunately, the young people of Manchester United fought hard and won the Sky City, which is not weak.

But in the middle of the week, against Wolves, which was deep in the relegation zone, even though the team led by 16 points in the standings, Ferguson did not hesitate to send out the strongest lineup in his hands.

Bell, who had recuperated for a full 10 days, also played in this game. As a result, the main Manchester United team he led was magical at the Wolverhampton Park Stadium, leading the Wolves 5-0 in the first half. In the 3rd minute, Bell used an assault on the left to break through the Wolves' goal alone. In the 21st minute, Manchester United scored again from a corner kick by Evans, assisted by Bell. In the 30th minute, Bell staged an assist and scored twice to help Ashley Young score and rewrite 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 at high speed from the right until the opponent scored from a small angle in the penalty area. In stoppage time in the first half, Welbeck scored a goal and Manchester United led 5-0.

In the 56th minute, Ashley Young made a cross from the right and Hernandez scored with a header. In the 61st minute, Hernandez scored twice and the score was fixed at 7:0.

Since then, the Wolves had two chances to counterattack, but they were saved by Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea. In the end, the Red Devils won a big victory and continued to rank first in the Premier League standings with a huge advantage of 16 points.

………………

Three days later, on March 24, at noon on Saturday, Manchester United took the lead in the 30th round of the Premier League.

Because of the home game against Real Madrid on Tuesday night, Ferguson implemented a big rotation for the team in this game, including Bale, Sneijder and many other team's main players on the bench, while Pogba and Cam These two reserve team teenagers were lucky enough to make their debut in the Premier League.

Pogba's performance in this first show was very average, perhaps too excited, he did not play the level of the previous appearances in the League Cup and FA Cup. On the contrary, it was Kanter, who performed amazingly. As a midfielder, he was not only impeccable on the defensive side, but also showed good potential on the offensive side. Manchester United finally relied on his assists, and Rooney scored the only goal of the game.

In the 42nd minute, Ashley Young made a pass from the left. The ball hit Riise and landed right in front of Kanter. The French teenager, who made his debut in the Premier League for the first time in his career, fell to the ground and shoveled in the middle. Rooney got his right foot from the edge of the penalty area. Push the top corner to break the goal.

Xiaopang has scored 17 goals in the last 17 games on behalf of Manchester United, and it is also the 8th time in his career that he has defeated Fulham in the Premier League.

In the end, the big rotation Manchester United defeated Fulham 1-0 and took all three points as they wished. And because Manchester City, who played in the subsequent game, was tied 1:1 by Stoke City in the away game, Manchester United's lead over 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 wins the 20th top league championship in team history.

………………

As the points gap widened, Mancini's team showed an overwhelmed look in the game. After the game, the Italian coach flatly refused to attend the press conference out of anger. Assistant coach David Platt followed In the middle of the week, Mancini's remarks briefly analyzed the game.

When Manchester City reversed Chelsea in the middle of the week, the Manchester City coach admitted that his team was under more pressure than Manchester United. After all, Manchester City joined the championship of England's top league for the first time since 1977, and Manchester United was the only one in the Premier League for 20 years.

"It is normal to say that we are under more pressure than Manchester United! Because everyone knows that Manchester United has stayed at the top of the Premier League for 20 years."

Mancini is right, even if there are teams such as Blackburn, Arsenal and Chelsea spoiling the situation, but no team can shake Manchester United's supremacy in the Premier League.

"For them the title race is fairly normal, but for us, it's a real first, we've only led the first seven months of the season."

Since the reform of the Premier League, Manchester United has been in the championship every season. The Red Devils have reversed Newcastle's 12 points to win the championship. Mancini knows this.

Although Manchester United has an unparalleled experience advantage, Mancini insisted that he is intoxicated in this high-pressure atmosphere. He hopes that the Premier League championship this season will be the same as the 2-goal reversal of Chelsea at the last minute of the week.

"I like the feeling that we haven't played very well in the past month, but at certain moments throughout the season, maybe one or two games can turn the game around."

Mancini obviously hopes that the Red Devils will collapse at some point in the future, but this hope is really too illusory.

What's more, with a huge goal difference advantage, even if Manchester City wins all the next ten rounds, the Red Devils only need to get 12 more points in the next 10 league games, and they can basically use the goal difference. The ball overwhelmed Manchester City to win the championship.

To score 12 points in 10 rounds, even if the Red Devils collapse again, it is impossible to fail, right?

After the draw with Stoke City, assistant coach Pratt basically followed Mancini's mid-week speech and said: "We know that it is very difficult to play in Britannia, but we can only keep accumulating points. Believe we can turn things around. People might say: Look! Man City dropped 2 points, but maybe it won't be until after the season that people realize we've got 1 valuable point. Because there are enough games to come , we can definitely take back what we lost.”

Then Pratt explained the game in detail: "Both teams want to win this game, and everyone will do whatever they can. But the league is like a long road, and there will be many twists and turns on the road. We will go on in our own way. We have been focusing on the whole season. , and have won a lot of games, we can continue to win until the last moment. Our players have played hard, they have played their highest level, from now on we will actively prepare for the next game .”

Manchester City iron guard Kolo Toure said: "It seems that it is difficult to play a good game in Britannia. We are very disappointed today, but even if we lose 2 points, this can be regarded as a pretty good result. Because everyone We all know that for the championship team, every point is intuitively important. We now have to play all games as if they were the last round. Stoke City played well in this game. They gave us a big enough pressure."

Yaya Toure, the hero of the goal, said: "The most important thing now is not to panic. Today we drew with a good team. We must continue to work hard and always believe in ourselves. We must know that we will go to the distant away game It is difficult, but Stoke City is strong enough, I think we should learn from this game and play well in every game in the future."
