Super Marshal

In two days, eight games, the second stage of the UEFA Champions League group stage attracted the attention of fans from all over the world.

In the focus game that attracted the most attention of fans, Lippi's Juventus beat Real Madrid 1-0 at home. The Galacticos were powerless in the face of Juventus' unbreakable defense.

This also made the Italian fans very excited.

In the past few years, although the Serie A league has the title of a small World Cup, it has not achieved satisfactory results in the Champions League. On the contrary, La Liga and Bundesliga have performed quite strongly.

But so far this season, Serie A has performed well, and all four teams have reached the second stage of the group stage.

In the first round, Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan all won.

Only Capello's Roma lost to Atletico Madrid 0-1 away.

But even so, the Italian media is still very tolerant towards Capello's team, and they are more directed at the management of Roma, because as early as the summer transfer period, Capello asked the management to introduce Juventus' central team. Field player Davis.

At that time, Juventus' asking price was 18 million euros, plus the ownership of two young Roma players.

For this transfer, Capello even publicly bombarded the club chairman Sensi in the media, and the Roma chairman was not to be outdone, and refuted Capello on TV. Seeds of contradiction.

Now, hidden dangers in Rome have emerged.

At the post-match press conference, Capello faced reporters asking whether there was a crisis in Roma, and said "you say yes, then it is", which has already made the team's problems known to the world.

The offense is weak and the defense is unstable. The prospect of Roma this season is worrying.

In the same group, Manchester United's situation is also worrying.

Blank, Beckham, Keane, Gary Neville, Butt, Ferdinand...

The injured list of the Red Devils Manchester United occupies almost half of the team, which also forced Ferguson to vigorously promote O'Shea, Fortune, Brown and other young players into the starting list.

But in the away game against Basel, Manchester United conceded a goal in just 31 seconds, which made Manchester United suffer a blow, and failed to get out of the decline throughout the first half.

But in the second half, they changed sides and fought again. After adjustments, Manchester United quickly reversed the situation. With Ruud van Nistelrooy's brace and Solskjaer's goal, they reversed Basel 3-1.

As a result, after the first round, Manchester United topped the group, followed by Atletico Madrid.

This also made the British and Spanish media pay attention to Atletico Madrid's game at Old Trafford two weeks later.

Everyone believed that this would be a wonderful duel between Mars and Earth.

After the match against Roma, the Sheets had a two-day rest before heading north to challenge Osasuna in an away game.

Playing with a rotation lineup, Atletico Madrid beat Osasuna 1-0.

But throughout the game, the Sheets did not play well.

A week later, Valladolid ushered in at home.

In order to save energy for the midweek Champions League, Gao Han played with a rotation lineup again, and the result was still 1-0.

Only this time, Atletico Madrid won in a smooth and stable manner.

But all fans of the Sheets Legion can deeply feel Gao Han's intentions. The team's main battlefield is obviously placed in the Champions League, especially the away game against Manchester United.

After entering December, Manchester United encountered the devil's schedule, and they encountered Liverpool and Arsenal in two consecutive rounds.

But Ferguson's team showed a strength that surprised everyone.

First, in the away game against Liverpool, with Forlan's brace, he defeated Liverpool 2-1 away and won the Northwest Derby.

A week later, Ferguson's team sat at Old Trafford and ushered in Wenger's Arsenal.

This time Manchester United performed well again. With the goals of Veron and Scholes, they defeated the Gunners 2-0.

In particular, the midfielder Veron played a game at the highest level since joining Manchester United, completely helping Manchester United dominate the game and winning the approval of everyone including Ferguson.

But what is more striking is that in the second half of the game, Beckham, Ferdinand and Gary Neville came off the bench successively. Although none of them performed very well, they made all Red Devils fans feel excited.

They are finally coming back!

The comeback of the main players made Ferguson full of confidence.

At the post-match press conference after defeating Arsenal, when media reporters asked about the upcoming Champions League opponent Atletico Madrid, Ferguson said in a high-profile manner that the team would continue to stick to its own offensive style of play at Old Trafford.

"I know that Atlético were doing well in La Liga, they were doing well in the UEFA Cup, but it wasn't in the Premier League and if I remember correctly they have never been tested by a Premier League team."

"Many people say that La Liga or Serie A is the first league, but I don't think so. I think the Premier League is the most difficult and challenging league in the world. If Atletico Madrid came to the Premier League, they would not be able to With such an outstanding performance, even, I doubt, they may even have a hard time making it into the top four!"

Ferguson's remarks quickly spread throughout European football and even the world.

"This old rascal, what a bastard!"

When Mattayana of the Marca newspaper moved Ferguson's remarks to the Mahadanda Sports City, Gao Han was very angry and funny. This old guy really likes to cause trouble.

Mattayana directly ignored Gao Han's scolding of Ferguson, "Should you respond?"

Talking before the game, this seems to be the usual trick of the head coach, right?

The Premier League is the most popular, but La Liga also has this tradition.

Gao Han glanced at Mataiana maliciously, and the media reporters were unreliable at critical moments.

"Carlos, go, notify the team immediately, no one is allowed to be interviewed in private before playing Manchester United."

After hearing this, Cantarero looked at the deflated Mataiana, and immediately nodded with a smile.

"Are you sure?" Mattayana was very depressed.

"As for, very as for!" Gao Han was very sure.

Ferguson's psychological warfare is notorious. He publicly bombarded Atletico Madrid, wasn't it just to arouse the anger of the Sheets players? If you let the players go, wouldn't you be fooled by him?

Besides, Atletico Madrid players are relatively young, so they must be more angry, so they have to guard against them.

Matyana knew that Gao Han had always been one-sided, so there was nothing wrong with him.

"But... you have to let me do business, right?"

Gao Han thought for a while, nodded and said: "Then you can help me respond, just say, I respect Ferguson's status in European football very much, but I am a little unbelievable that he attacked us in such a way. "

Mattayana carefully recorded Gao Han's response with a tape recorder, and wrote something in the notepad.

"Only a rogue would use such a dirty trick!"

Matyana's eyes lit up, okay, that's a good response!

Just put a hooligan hat on Ferguson's head, isn't the old man mad?

But Gao Han obviously hasn't finished talking.

"Ferguson's remarks can only fully explain one thing, he is afraid, he is afraid."

"A person can speak so incoherently only when he is under tremendous pressure and his body and mind are on the verge of collapse!"

At the end, Mattayana was almost applauding.

Unexpectedly, Gao Han usually does not show the mountains and does not show the water, but at the critical moment, he will be so sharp in the verbal battle.

"Okay, Ferguson has met his opponent this time!"

…………

…………

"What? Great pressure?"

"No, no, it's because they feel good about themselves."

"Let me tell you, among Atletico Madrid's players, there are only two in my eyes who are able to play the main role in the Manchester United team. One is the Brazilian player Kaka, whose style is quite suitable for the Premier League, and the other is a midfielder. Player Xabi Alonso, he's not lost to Guardiola at all."

"What? Villa? Torres? No, we have Van Nistelrooy and Solskjaer, even I think Forlan is better than them."

"In addition, I have informed the team that I hope to have the opportunity to talk to Atletico Madrid about Kaka's future."

…………

…………

"Man Utd want Kaka?"

Gao Han shook his head and laughed, "I only have one thing to say about this, go and make your Spring and Autumn Dream!"

"Poaching in front of the battle is already an old trick of Ferguson. It is not worth my rebuttal at all, and it is impossible for us to be fooled."

"If I had to say a word to Ferguson now, I would tell him, why don't you shut up and mind your own business? Is it interesting to attack your opponent before the game?"

"As for saying that he thinks my players are not qualified to play in Manchester United, this is not what I should care about. I just need to know that they have performed very well in Atletico Madrid, and that is enough. As for whether they have the strength, I believe, Ferguson and his United will soon find out."

"Criticizing Manchester United players? No, I'm not going to do that."

"Well, if I had to choose, I think the most dangerous player for Manchester United would be Ryan Giggs."

"In today's European football, there are not many players who can threaten opponents with high-speed dribbling. Giggs is one of the best, and he has been at his peak for many years. Therefore, against Manchester United, We have to contain Giggs and that's very important."

As for Manchester United, Gao Han also said that it is really difficult to be a guest at Old Trafford.

"They are a very strong attacking team, and they are always aggressive at Old Trafford. It is a huge challenge for the away team."

"But we will use the facts to prove that we are not a persimmon either!"

…………

…………

"I would say that in our turf, we don't give our opponents even the slightest chance."

"Against Atletico Madrid we had only one goal and that was the three points."

"At Old Trafford, we will fight for the initiative from the first minute of the game and keep it until the end of the game. We will let the opponent leave England with a nightmare."

"Gao Han's coaching at Atletico Madrid is really good, but he is still very young."

"Sometimes, for young people, failure is more rewarding than victory."

This is the war mobilization order issued by Ferguson at the pre-match press conference.

But the real surprise is that many of Manchester United's wounded have come back.

In addition to Beckham, Gary Neville and Ferdinand who played against Arsenal before, midfielder Roy Keane also returned from injury and entered the squad for the game.

If Roy Keane also enters the starting lineup, then Manchester United's main force will be in order.

Only then did everyone realize why Ferguson had such confidence!
