------------------
The Gunners lost to the top Chelsea in a key battle, and gradually began to focus on the Champions League; Manchester United's situation is just the opposite. The elimination of the Champions League group stage made Sir Alex Ferguson have to focus on the league.
Two teams that are in love with each other are like a pair of suffering brothers and sisters, both have encountered troubles that cannot be resolved in a short time.
In fact, Manchester United is not only in deep crisis on the pitch, but the club is also facing tremendous pressure off the pitch.
The Glazer family certainly did not expect that things would go so badly in the first few months.
Glazel's business plan is based on United finishing in the top four every year and reaching the last 16 in the Champions League.At first this did not seem excessive.But now, Manchester United's performance is quite excessive, making trouble inevitable.The goal of the Champions League has been defeated, and the top four in the league is hardly guaranteed.
In the American business plan, a very important part is called "4×4 management plan".It means that the club must have four sponsors at the same time, and the annual sponsorship amount of each sponsor must reach 400 million pounds.
But now, telecommunications provider Vodafone has decided to break up with Manchester United in advance, and the four-year contract from 2004 to 2008 will be terminated at the end of this season.The loss lies not only in the annual income of 900 million pounds, but also in the fact that many large companies have raised their vigilance in cooperating with Manchester United.
In addition, the three New York-based hedge funds (a total of 2.75 million pounds) that were borrowed by Glazer during the acquisition will also become the main force to make things worse when Manchester United is in a bad situation.
From August this year to July 8, is the so-called "experimental period" in Red Football (the company that Glazer used to buy Manchester United) and its contract.In the interim, if the Red Football's operating profits fall short of 2007% of expectations, the hedge funds will start to have power over United.
At the beginning, they will be allowed to appoint 25% of the directors in the red football, and by August 2010, they will be able to get 8% of Manchester United's shares in the hands of Glazer.The interest of these hedge funds can be as high as 30% per year, and Glazer's profit plan at Manchester United will be completely ruined by these interests if he is not careful.The current Manchester United is undoubtedly walking towards the edge of the cliff.
Therefore, even from the perspective of the club's survival, Manchester United must get rid of the current decline as soon as possible.
It's not that it is absolutely necessary to win the league championship from Chelsea, but at least strive for second place.If you can't appear in the Champions League group stage next season, it can be said to be a huge disaster.United still have time before real disaster strikes, but time is certainly running out.
Sir Alex Ferguson has always been the team's meritorious service, this time the angry fans turned their finger on the Glazer family.But because the opponent is the boss, the fans had to vent their anger on the players.
In the last game of the Champions League group stage, Manchester United lost to Benfica 1-2 and were eliminated.
In this game, Ronaldinho's willful performance in Lisbon may not only cause him to be punished by UEFA record, but also be unanimously criticized by the old players in the team after the game.
In the game against Benfica, Giggs sent a wonderful pass to Gary Neville in the first half to help the team take the lead; but Ronaldinho ignored the tactical discipline and repeatedly lost possession of the ball, causing Manchester United to lose control in half an hour. Turn victory into defeat.
Even when he was sent off, he gave the Benfica fans the middle finger.
Giggs was the first to be replaced in the game. When the latter left the field, he asked the assistant coach Queiroz angrily: "You replaced me, why didn't you replace him?!"
In addition, the new captain, Gary Neville, scolded Ronaldo for losing his position several times on the field. Ruud van Nistelrooy couldn't help but criticize Ronaldinho's nonsense when he was off the field. Alan Smith scolded Ronaldo for being "selfish" after returning to the locker room.This is the second time that Smith has clashed with Ronaldinho. After being tied by Fulham in an away game last season, Smith also severely criticized the Portuguese for only caring about his own limelight.
But as a compatriot, Queiroz still defended Ronaldinho: "We all agree that his performance that night was not the best. The game was very tense. It is normal for young players to feel pressure and emotional fluctuations. We will become stronger in future games.”
Queiroz even thought that Benfica fans were unfair to Ronaldinho: "When he was in the Portuguese national team, the same fans gave him encouraging applause. He couldn't adapt to this contrast for a while."
During the game, every time Ronaldinho touched the ball, there were deafening boos and jeers from the stands.Ronaldinho's explanation for this is: "If the Benfica fans were not so excessive, I would have reacted differently, but they are too nasty."
In fact, how could Ronaldinho not know that it was his own arbitrary actions that brought disaster to the team?
But Tang Wu's recent limelight is too strong, Xiao Luo wants to hurry up and prove himself; at the very least, he must narrow the gap with Tang Wu.
Unfortunately, due to the ridicule of Benfica fans, Ronaldinho's performance was ruined.
At this moment, he was also deeply in self-blame.
At present, UEFA has received a formal complaint from Benfica. The latter's club spokesman said: "Ronaldo lacks due respect for Benfica fans." TV screens and English and Portuguese newspapers have captured Ronaldo's unspoken gestures.
UEFA confirmed the matter, "We have received reports from relevant parties and will discuss whether to take measures against this next week." Once punished, Ronaldo will be suspended in Manchester United's European competition next season-if Manchester United plays as scheduled If you enter the European competition.
After being out of the Champions League, Manchester United reached a trough.
There was disagreement within the team, and the team's performance was stabilized by the rivals.
Although the old opponents are in the same situation as they are currently in the league, Red Devils fans can't be like ostriches, not seeing the impressive records Chelsea and Liverpool have achieved in various fields of competition.
This season, the sky above the Premier League is about to change!
After returning from Switzerland, what lies before the Red Army is a devil's schedule!
This season, Liverpool has missed two games, but because of the waist's participation in the Club World Cup, the FA had to reschedule the Red Army's game time.
On December 12, Liverpool won again at the Riverside Stadium.
Both Tang Wu and Gerrard sat on the bench. In order not to lose the glory of the Club World Cup, Reina had to grit his teeth and defend Liverpool until the last moment in front of the goal.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score on the field was fixed at 3 to 2. Liverpool relied on the players' tenacious fighting spirit, and after throwing off their opponents for the third time, together with Manchester United, Arsenal and Wigan Athletic, Into the semi-finals of the League Cup.
As for the league leader, the Blues, they were eliminated early in the third round of the League Cup.In this way, Magic Bird has more time for the players to adjust and strive for more important championships.
Two days later, Liverpool ushered in a make-up match against Sunderland in the 2th round. This was a game that should have been played a week ago.
Looking at the exhausted players, Bei Tu still formed a semi-main lineup.Relying on Tang Wu's high-speed block, the score was fixed at 0-0.Although he got a draw, Tang Wu's record of clean sheets this season has still been maintained.
On the night after the game, Tang Wu lay on the bed wrapped in a bath towel, enjoying the touch of his girlfriend's fingertips.
Although Tang Wu's back is not full of bullet marks like soldiers who have been on the battlefield, nor is it full of knife scars like street gangsters, but his back is still "scarred".
Some of these injuries were knife marks from minor operations, and some were redness and bruises caused by congestion.As a goalkeeper, Tang Wu's back injury is no worse than that of his predecessors in their 30s. This "benefits" from Tang Wu's devilish training day after day.
Every time he sees his boyfriend's "scarred" back, Zhou Haohao feels a burst of heartache.
"My dear, does it hurt here?"
"Ah."
It was Tang Wu who answered her with a muffled groan.
Hmm means no pain. If Tang Wu is in pain, his whole body will respond.
Since he was lying face down, Tang Wu's voice was very nasal.Even so, Zhou Haohao could tell that Tang Wu was on the verge of deep sleep at this moment.
Spreading safflower oil all over Tang Wu's back, Zhou Haohao lifted the towel around Tang Wu's waist with his fingers.
With just a slight tug, you can have a panoramic view of the content behind the boyfriend.
"Tang Tang." Zhou Hao said lightly, and grabbed Xiao Tang Wu from behind with his hand.
Just when Zhou Haohao wanted to go further, a hand with six fingers grabbed her wrist.
"Honey, don't," Tang Wu said in a thick nasal voice from the pillow, "The next one or two months are very important, I can't waste any energy on other things."
"Well, I see."
Zhou responded well, his eyes filled with distress.After sighing lightly, he pulled the quilt over his shoulders, bent down and gently lay on his boyfriend's back.
When the sweet pear vortex just touched Tang Wu's neck, he heard Tang Wu's heavy snoring.
