Red Rebels

From the Triple Crown to losing all four, what did Ferguson lose?

Glazer's acquisition became the trigger for the collapse of the Manchester United dynasty!

Manchester United is dead, burn paper if something happens!

Rest in peace, Red Devil!

...A series of sensational headlines appeared in the newspapers the next day, and the accompanying pictures were basically taken from the Millennium Stadium. The fans in the stands seemed to be attending a memorial service, sad and helpless... After defeating Manchester United, It is generally understood as purer football, which has defeated commercialized football, and is given more representation and meaning behind it, especially compared to Manchester United.

It is not uncommon in football for fans to split from the team they love and form a new team. For example, Liverpool split from Everton, but that happened a long time ago, but it was not It just happened 7 years ago.

In the blink of an eye, 7 years have passed. Manchester United has fallen from the arrogant Red Devils to the debt-ridden fourth place in the league. At one time, it was almost impossible to even qualify for the European Champions League. The team has transformed into the hottest super youth team in European football today.

For fans, being able to witness with their own eyes the origins of Manchester United and the United States, from flowering to fruition, and then to the current reincarnation, it can be said that this has brought them huge reflection and warning, that is, what football should be like. ?

Manchester United is undoubtedly the most successful example of commercialization. They are cold-blooded and have no emotion at all. When Beckham can get transfer fees for them, they do not hesitate to treat their stars as if they are goods in a supermarket. , put a price tag on it and wait for it to be sold.

When Keane, Giggs, Scholes and others get older, they begin to enter the phase of elimination at any time. Especially after the Glazer family took over Manchester United, the first decision they made was to eliminate all players over the age of 30. The contracts of the above players are signed once a year, and those included in this list even include Keane, the soul of the team.

But on the other hand, Beckham has entered his thirties, but the club is preparing to sign a new four-year contract with him. Although his salary has not been increased, for a player in his thirties, being able to maintain the original salary is quite good. Yes, and the club also gave Beckham some bonuses and image rights sharing plan to make up for it.

There is also Redondo. This Argentine star has helped develop several outstanding defensive midfielders in the past three years. Cesc Fabregas, Michael Johnson, Mikel and others have all grown and improved with his help. Yes, and the progress of these players has been very obvious, and their strength has improved rapidly.

In addition, players like Beckham, Essien, De Rossi, and even Yaya Toure who has left the team have successively stated that Redondo has given them a lot of help, allowing them to perform better on the court. His strength and better control of the game led to the fact that even though Redondo retired, many teams still invited him to coach, hoping that he could coach.

But Redondo rejected the temptation of head coaches time and time again, including AC Milan. He chose to stay because he felt that he could gain more from this team.

"What you can give me is beyond money and benefits! It will benefit me throughout my life!"

No one knows what Redondo is talking about, but it is undeniable that it has become a team that almost all players in today's European football are flocking to. Its temptation is not even lost to the super giants Real Madrid and Barcelona. Why?

The University of Manchester even conducted research specifically on this topic, but in the end they were unable to get an explanation that satisfied everyone. In the end, they could only say that the rise of the People's Republic of China satisfied some of the deepest needs in people's hearts, and Xiao Yu's The positioning and operation make everyone feel a kind of warmth and comfort.

What is even more ironic is that after the defeat in this game, the Glazer family announced that it would withdraw Manchester United from the stock market a week later. Some investors who are sitting on Manchester United's scattered shares must decide within 3 days at the latest. The shares in hand are sold,

Otherwise, it will be expired.

This is another typical commercial tone, and it also makes more die-hard Manchester United fans spurn it. Many small investors and fans who own Manchester United shares even cried and said that they would rather their Manchester United shares disappear. Definitely not selling to Glazer.

At the same time that Glazer issued the declaration of withdrawing from the market, Manchester United's season ticket pre-sales situation for next season appeared to be very bad, with a sharp drop of at least more than 65% compared to the same period last year. This also made the Glazer family feel pressure, because Once ticket revenue is poor, Manchester United's ability to repay debts is bound to decline and it will be one step closer to bankruptcy.

But in Xiao Yu's words, there is no need to worry about Manchester United's ticket revenue, because those who abandon Manchester United are more die-hard fans with simple feelings. The departure of these fans will not affect Manchester United's ticket revenue, because there will be A group of other semi-fans, beckoned by the Manchester United brand, entered Old Trafford.

These are what Keane was talking about, those fans who gnaw on steaks and drink coffee drinks, who don’t cheer when the team scores a goal, boo after a goal is conceded, sing after a win, and cry after a loss. group.

With the commercialization of Premier League clubs, more and more club stadiums are filled with a large number of this type of people. They provide more ticket revenue, but make the club's home atmosphere gradually weaker.

Regarding what has happened recently at Manchester United, Xiao Yu said in an interview that he would not make any comments on it, especially for his mortal enemy Manchester United. He only cares about the upcoming European Champions Cup final!

Yes, although Xiao Yu has been unhappy with Manchester United since the team was established, from now on, the relationship between the mortal enemy and Manchester United will be further established.

When Beckham was interviewed, he gave the same answer as Xiao Yu. He said that what he loved was the former Manchester United, but now he is a player. The next time he meets Manchester United, he will still go all out.

Maybe there were still inextricable connections with Manchester United in the past, such as Ferguson, Keane, Scholes and others, but now, with the loss of this group of old players, the atmosphere of the Red Devils Derby is bound to become more and more intense. Especially after this FA Cup final.

……………………The Champions League final against AC Milan is on May 25, exactly 4 days after the FA Cup final. The players can get ample rest time, plus the Premier League curtain has already After falling down, everyone began to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the preparations for this crucial final.

This is the first time they have entered the Champions League final. Looking at their opponents, AC Milan’s players are all experienced and each one is a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles. Their experience will definitely help the Rossoneri to perform better in the final. Master the game.

When Wenger was interviewed by the media before the game, he made a big evaluation of the two teams in his eyes. He believed that AC Milan had more experience, but the players were quite old, and physical fitness was a big problem later in the season. In addition, AC Milan The performance in the second half of Serie A was poor. First, they lost to Juventus at home 2 weeks ago, and then suffered draws with Lecce and Palermo, so that in the end they lost the championship and lost the Serie A championship. Gave it to Juventus.

"All this proves one thing, that is, AC Milan is tired!" Wenger said.

On the other hand, despite losing the Premier League championship, in the last few rounds of the league, they have defeated powerful opponents and are in very good form. They defeated Manchester United in the FA Cup. There is a league game to be played on the weekends before and after the final.

"Mourinho has adjusted the offensive combination well. Kaká has scored 23 goals in the Premier League this season. As a midfielder, his goals have exceeded most of the forwards. The Brazilian's His offensive talents have undoubtedly been further refined and refined. In addition, Drogba, Ronaldinho, and Villa have also scored more than double digits. Messi's performance in the second half of the season has become increasingly outstanding. Everything is enough to prove that our attack power is the best in Europe!"

"AC Milan's tactics this season are mainly to prevent counterattacks, but with the aging defense line composed of stars such as Cafu, Maldini, Nesta and other stars, it is difficult to stop the frontcourt attack combination. Palacio's recent state Excellent, but where he comes from, Mourinho is very familiar with him, knows how to use him, and he definitely knows how to restrict him!"

From the above inferences, Wenger is more optimistic about winning the championship!

In addition to Wenger, Ferguson also feels that AC Milan is in poor condition recently.

"Their peak state should be when they faced us at home and away, but after that, their peak state began to decline. Up to now, I don't know how much they can perform in the finals, but if it's a lottery ticket, , I will choose because I am Xiao Yu’s friend!”

Compared to Ferguson's half-joking ambiguous attitude, Ancelotti supported his old subordinate Tassotti.

"Mauro is an excellent player, he is an excellent coach, AC Milan he leads is very good, he inspires the strength of many players, I think he has done everything to win the final, laughs The winner in the end must be AC ​​Milan, they deserve this championship!"

Before the game, judging from the odds of the European Champions League finals, from the odds of major bookmakers, it was half and half between those who supported and supported AC Milan. Strictly speaking, AC Milan has been in good form recently and AC Milan is experienced. In the final of a one-shot deal, it is difficult to predict who will have the last laugh.

Undoubtedly, the final pays more attention to the technical and tactical arrangements of the head coach. Mourinho is the hottest crazy coach in European football today. His coaching has made rapid progress, from the original English League Three to the current European Champions Cup. The final has almost become a miracle in the history of football all over the world. [ban^] First release

But Mauro Tassotti is deeply loved by the Milan soldiers. He has re-inspired aging players such as Maldini, Cafu and Costacurta for unknown ages and led them to the Champions League final. This is undoubtedly a good thing for Milan. It is an affirmation of his strength, and Inzaghi and Palacio, whom he reused in the forward line, also rewarded him with excellent form.

To put it bluntly, this is an unpredictable final. It is difficult to say that a good state will definitely win, nor does it mean that an experienced player will have an advantage. At the critical moment, it still depends on the tactical arrangements of the head coaches of both sides of the game and the players' actions. Tactical execution on the pitch.

But no matter what, with all major European leagues deciding who will win the championship, the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the finale of this season, the Champions League final!

This has caused countless fans to rush to Istanbul, Turkey. They are all eager to witness the birth of a new generation of European kings here, and to see whether the Rossoneri will win the European crown for the seventh time, or whether it will be a fledgling team that creates another miracle.

In addition to the fans who are nervously waiting for the game, both clubs are also looking forward to it.

In Mark David's words, participating in the Champions League final with AC Milan will definitely attract more attention to next year's American Audi Cup warm-up match and attract more American football fans. Winning the Champions League in their first season will undoubtedly elevate the club's reputation to a whole new level.

Not only were they looking forward to it, AC Milan was also nervous. Among them, Galliani lost control of his emotions at the Capital Airport in Istanbul because reporters asked him about the papal curse in person!
