Chapter 118 Advance in the UEFA Cup
In addition to the eye-catching game of Manchester City, in the just-concluded eighth round of the Premier League, there was also a game that received great attention in Europe——
In the 07-08 season, the first traditional semi-final matchup of the Premier League!
Chelsea played against the Red Devils Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. The result of the game was surprising!
Chelsea, who changed coaches before the game, lost 0:2 to Manchester United in the away game under the leadership of Grant!
This is tantamount to a resounding slap to Grant, who also delivered a "team building speech" the day before.
clap clap clap...
Seeing Grant with a disheveled look on the sidelines, the fans of Stamford Bridge suddenly began to miss that crazy man who was still as stubborn as ever even after losing, and could still be an enemy of the world...
It's only been a week since Mourinho dismissed get out of class...
At the end of the game, watching the vicious boss Abramovich in the VIP box leave without looking back, Trant also seemed to be vaguely aware that he might be a very short-lived head coach...
The sun and the moon rotate, and the progress of the season has not stopped in the slightest because of Chelsea's defeat!
On September 9th, the league was suspended, and the second round of the UEFA Cup group stage qualifying match, which is even more attractive, began!
In the context of sweeping the opponent 7:0 in the first round, the second round at home has long since become meaningless.And the Volendam team seems to know their fate. They regard this away game as a cross-border trip. In the few days since the team arrived, there was almost no time to prepare for the game. Everyone's interest was focused on visiting Manchester City. Sturt's industrial civilization went.
Aside from the always gloomy weather in Manchester, they said the trip was worth it.
The relaxation outside the arena is also reflected in the arena.During the game, Volendan simply opened his arms and let Manchester City go all out in the city stadium, fighting against Blue Moon fearlessly!
The final score was surprising.
In the end, after 10 and 9 minutes of fierce fighting, Manchester City, who played with all substitutes, eliminated their opponents with a total score of 2:2, but at home, they scored 2:[-] with their opponents and ended in a draw.
In the first half, Vassell scored twice, but in the second half, Volendam sent two yellow-skinned and black-haired players with strange looks.
At first glance, it is of East Asian race.
All the teammates cast doubtful eyes on Sun Jihai, the only one in the team was a yellow-skinned and black-haired oriental race.But facing the eyes of his teammates, Sun Jihai shook his head, saying that he had never seen these two people before.
Everyone said "Oh", guessing that these two people are Korean or Japanese. Korean football has developed rapidly in recent years. There is even a Korean Park Ji-sung in Manchester United's main lineup.
"No, no, he's Chinese. It's just that I don't know them. I'm familiar with all the overseas players of my dynasty, but I've never seen these two players." Sun Jihai hastily clarified.
Although he didn't know the two of them, the two names "zhangjun" and "yangpan" behind the two were obvious Chinese pinyin, which was completely different from the English translations of Koreans and Japanese, so Sun Jihai dared to confirm this .
Maybe it's a domestic player who just joined?Sun Jihai thought in his heart that after the game, he would call Zheng Zhi who was in Charlton for questioning.I have been floating overseas for five or six years, and it is normal to have young domestic players I don’t know, but Zheng Zhi just joined Charlton the previous season, so he will definitely be familiar with these two people.
However, these two seemingly compatriot players left Manchester City with an unforgettable second half.
At the beginning of the second half, a compatriot wearing No. 7 used a rough ball from the right to break through Mills' defense, and then another No. 9 in the middle jumped up and scored with a header.
Then the No. 9 tied the score with a stunning baseline goal.
At that time, the substitute goalkeeper Isaacson was stunned. The No. 9 had already stepped on the baseline. At that time, the ball was already behind him, but he jumped up and hooked the ball with a right leg behind his back to score the ball.
"Is this ball created by God?" The commentator who saw this ball was dumbfounded.
The [-] home fans at the scene applauded for such a wonderful goal.
At the last moment of the game, Volendam still had an excellent chance to overtake the score.
Player No. 7 Volendam, who used his speed to play with Manchester City's left-back time and time again, cut inside and hit the goal with a heavy bombardment, directly hitting Isaacson.
Even the fans standing at the top of the stadium can hear the loud "bang" like a mortar.
Like a drum beating in the heart.
Isaacson fell to the ground on the spot and woke up after a full 20 seconds of fainting. Then he couldn't hold on to the game and was replaced by Joe Hart.
Fortunately, in the end Manchester City kept the score to the end.
Although eliminating the opponent, it is not perfect for Manchester City!
Because, shortly after the game, there was a very unfavorable news——
Samaras, who came off the bench during the game, was diagnosed with a groin strain by team doctor Manu Ginobili after the game. The most optimistic time is that he will be out for 3 weeks!
Three hours after the game, the news announced on the official website disappointed Manchester City fans!
The much-anticipated striker combination of Samaras and Shevchenko has only appeared in two games. People are expecting them to destroy the city for the Blue Moon, but Samaras is lying on the hospital bed...
However, for Duncan, the following is not all bad news.
The good news is that in the selection of the best head coach in September, Duncan defeated Ferguson and Redknapp and was elected the best head coach of the month.
To be honest, this selection is definitely very thrilling. Redknapp's Portsmouth was tied by the underdog Reading, but Manchester United won the red-blue battle.
However, Duncan still had the last laugh with his record of scoring 13 goals and conceding 1 goal in four wins in four games.
Speaking of which, this is the first time Duncan has won the head coach of the month.
Although there were 12 consecutive victories last season, it was across months. Because it was divided into two months, Duncan did not win.In the selection at the end of the season, the best head coach lost to Manchester United, who led the team to regain the league title.
And the best head coach in the first month of this season is Benitez, so for Duncan, this is his first real personal achievement.
The benefit of this result, at least Duncan has seen changes in the array system.
First of all, in the personal information, Duncan's reputation changed from "obscure" to "little famous", and then, Duncan's [Advanced Four-Elephant Formation] mission was also completed.
Duncan's four-element formation has been upgraded to an advanced level, but for Duncan who can use the five-element formation in the game, the improvement of the four-element formation is a bit tasteless.
Fortunately, it is better than nothing, and it can be used as a surprise soldier.
After all, no one cares about having too many cards in hand.
In this way, among the three missions, Duncan only has one [Strong Kill BIG4] left unfinished.
But according to an old saying, "Fortune comes with misfortune."
I won the best coach of the month, and before my butt was warmed up, another worry came to my door.
Andy Cole, with a face darker than the bottom of the pot, pushed the door and walked in.
Throw a newspaper on the table.
"see this."
Duncan's glasses swiped up, and his face changed color.
