Chapter 495 Chapter [131] - Milan Attack - [Today's first update]

It was difficult to take away three points from Milan, but Manchester United took away three away goals. This is Manchester United's biggest gain at the San Siro Stadium.The second round of the two teams will be held on March 2010, 3.During this period, Manchester United still have 10 league games to play.In these three league games, Xu Zhou started every game and performed well. The results of Manchester United's three games were Everton VS Manchester United 3:3, Manchester United VS West Ham 1:3, Wolves VS Manchester United 0:0, Manchester United won two and lost one, the results are not bad!

In the weekend league, Manchester United relied on Scholes's "before long-awaited" 1 league goal, and it was difficult to beat Wolves in the away game. The 1-0 victory also enabled Manchester United to surpass Chelsea, who had one less game, and once again occupy the top of the Premier League.

Before the second round against Milan, three away goals undoubtedly gave Manchester United a huge psychological advantage. Rooney, who has become popular this season, said when talking about this game: "If we want to keep the advantage in the first round, I don't think the head coach will be too happy," Rooney said, "We must continue to work hard. If we score another goal, it will end AC Milan's hope of a comeback."

But Evra has a different view. He warned his teammates to remember last season's Champions League loss and not to be overconfident: "First of all, Barcelona won and they played really well," Evra said.

Coincidentally, Van der Sar also mentioned the scene of Manchester United winning 2006-07 at home in the 3-2 season but losing 0-3 away and being eliminated: "I mentioned this not because we have always been worried about Milan, but because I want my teammates to understand that we can't make the same low-level mistakes as in the Champions League semi-finals a few years ago." The score advantage of 3 is negligible." However, the Manchester United goalkeeper is still optimistic about the team's promotion: "In fact, our current situation is much better than then, after all, we came back with a victory in San Siro. What we have to do is to continue to maintain a good state and maintain this advantage until the end of this game."

Xu Zhou, Manchester United's super new aid this season, expressed his optimism. Xu Zhou said: "We won the first round. This is a fact. We have reason to be optimistic. And I also believe in the strength of our team. We will not let our qualification for the Champions League quarter-finals fall by the wayside at our own home court. Look, we will win! And, a big win!"

Coach Ferguson pointed out to the players the key figure that needs special attention in this game-Borriello. Ferguson regards the Italian striker who missed the first round due to injury as one of the biggest threats to the Rossoneri. "We must fully realize the power of the trident formed by Pato, Ronaldinho and Borriello, and find a way to control them." Ferguson said, "Of course, we also hope to use our offensive instincts to ensure that we can win the game. It will definitely not be easy. History tells us that we can never be careless in the game against Milan. , no matter what, I believe this will be an epic game."

Perhaps Manchester United's biggest regret in this game is that Ferguson's strongest line of defense (Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra) could not be activated due to Brown's sudden injury, and the unlucky Brown missed perhaps his last trip to the World Cup.

On the other hand, Milan, despite the unfavorable situation, the team still maintains confidence in the promotion.Milan star Baresi said: "Even if it is not a miracle, Milan will need a huge effort to qualify. Of course, it will not be easy because Manchester United is a great team. They know how to make it to the end, just like they showed in the first leg."

Milan's players are full of confidence in the game.Ronaldinho, the current leader, believes that defeating Manchester United is not impossible: "It is really difficult. They will definitely try to dominate the game at home. But nothing is impossible. Winning is our only goal. AC Milan has an excellent tradition in the Champions League, so when Milan appears in the European arena, everyone knows that Milan is Milan. I have played against Manchester United in Barcelona, ​​and I also know what it means to be Manchester United's opponent. Manchester United also has a brilliant record, but wearing Milan's uniform, I can feel our strength."

Borriello, who came back, also said that "in Manchester, there will be a very difficult battle waiting for Milan, but we should know our own strength-in a great stadium like the Rome Olympic, Milan has also proved itself. Ability to play wonderful football."

At that time, Milan's sharpest offensive trident (Pato, Borriello, Ronaldinho) will also test whether Manchester United's steel defense is tough enough.

Of course, there is another special point in this game-the return of David Beckham to Old Trafford, the controversial referee is eye-catching!

After a lapse of 7 years, the former Manchester United darling Beckham finally returned to his familiar Old Trafford as an opponent for the first time. After moving to Real Madrid in 2003, Beckham returned to Old Trafford as an opponent for the first time in an official game.

There are two such stories that are enough to explain the significance of Beckham's return to the Theater of Dreams.

First, on March 2007, 3, a charity match was held at Old Trafford Stadium, where Manchester United and the European star team faced each other, and Beckham returned to Old Trafford to play.Although it was just an unofficial game, the stands were still overcrowded.Before the game, Beckham said to the fans through the big broadcast in the stadium: "I have waited for this for four years, and I finally have the opportunity to come back. Thank you for your support." After these words, everyone in Old Trafford stood up collectively and applauded him quietly.

Second, in the Champions League first-leg clash between Manchester United and AC Milan this season, thousands of Manchester United fans held up a banner at the San Siro Stadium, "You score, I don't cheer, okay?"

These two stories are enough to prove that Manchester United has not forgotten Beckham, and Beckham has not forgotten Manchester United.This Beckham, who was born in London but wore a red jersey since he was a child, has already changed from "Little Beckham" to "Old Beckham".The last time he scored at Old Trafford was in May 2003, when Manchester United beat Charlton 5-4.However, because of a "flying boot door", Beckham left Manchester United and was forced to wander around the world and travel around.Today, Beckham is no longer a Manchester United player, but who can deny that there is still a red complex flowing in his bones?

Beckham does not hate Ferguson.He pointed out in an interview a few days ago: "Sir Ferguson is like a father to me. No matter in the past or in the future, no matter what others say, our relationship has been good and bad, but for me, all I can remember are those good times." Ferguson's response was simpler: "Old Trafford will always be his home."

Of course, even though Beckham will return to Old Trafford, he will be filled with emotion.But in this battle, his identity is Manchester United's opponent. The purpose of AC Milan's trip is very clear. They want to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford, and they want to win big.As a member of AC Milan, Beckham will naturally try his best to attack.In the first round of the confrontation between the two teams, Beckham's cross instigated the team's first goal.When Ronaldinho and others roared and celebrated, people did not see Beckham among the players celebrating.In this way, he proved his principles: as a professional player, he will do his best, but as a Manchester United fan, he still belongs to the Red Devils.

Beckham himself said this: "For me, returning to Old Trafford will be a very exciting moment. Because, I have never become an opponent against Manchester United. However, as a Manchester United fan, as an AC Milan player, this may be the first time I want Manchester United to lose..."

Old Trafford on March 2010, 3, is destined to have a story belonging to Beckham.

After moving to Real Madrid in 2003, Beckham occasionally returned to the club, but only as a fan.And this time, he played against Manchester United for the first time as an opponent. "This is the first time in my life that I want Manchester United to lose. As a Red Devils fan, it is difficult to say such words." Beckham said in the pre-match press conference against Manchester United.

This time, with the disadvantage of losing 2-3 at home, AC Milan intends to advance by 2 goals in the European fortress Old Trafford, which is extremely difficult.But Beckham said he was just excited, not scared.Perhaps this is because, whoever wins or loses, he himself will be the winner.

"If I play on Wednesday, I won't be afraid, but I will be excited because I have played in that stadium for many years and I know what it means to Manchester United players." Beckham said in an interview with Milan Channel, "I also know what playing there means to the opponent."

Milan fans undoubtedly hope that Manchester United's core Wayne Rooney will be absent, but Beckham hopes that the England teammate can get rid of his knee injury and play. "I'm sure Wayne Rooney will be there," he said. "I think he's had some issues the last few days but he's had a week to recover. He's a good player and he wants to be in this game. Ferguson will definitely play with the best possible squad."

Before the MM battle between Manchester United and Milan, the relationship between Beckham and Ferguson once again became the focus of public opinion. The 34-year-old Beckham once again emphasized that there was no discord between the two. "Ferguson gives a lot of advice to the players, he is one of the best football coaches." Beckham said, "He protects his players, but he will tell me clearly when I make mistakes."

Before Milan set off for Manchester, Beckham accepted an interview. He said, "For me, this is a special game. It will be difficult for Milan to win against Manchester United, but the opportunity still exists. If we can win and advance, it will obviously have a special effect." But Beckham still expressed confidence, "It is difficult to win at Old Trafford, and it is even more difficult to win 2-0. But Milan is a special team. We have great players and will do our best."

Beckham believes that playing his own style is the most important thing, "If we can play our own football, the players on the front line score goals, and the defensive end also performs well, then we have a chance."

两队在欧洲三大杯历史上交战过8场，AC米兰队5胜3负占据绝对优势(四次在冠军杯淘汰赛中将曼联淘汰出局)，进14球失6球；其中主场4战保持全胜，进10球未失1球。但双方在曼联主场的4次交锋中，曼联3胜1负占据上风。

双方的第一次交手要追溯到1957-58赛季的欧冠半决赛。当时曼联队主场2比1获胜，次回合0比4惨败。两队第二次交锋则是在1968-69赛季，同样是在欧冠半决赛。曼联主场凭借查尔顿的进球1比0获胜，但又一次败走圣西罗，当时的比分是0比2。在2004-05赛季的欧冠首回合淘汰赛中，当时的AC米兰凭借克雷斯波的两粒进球，以1比0的同样比分在主客场双杀曼联。

双方最近一次相遇是在2006-07赛季中的欧冠半决赛中。曼联首回合凭借鲁尼的梅开二度3比2主场拿下AC米兰，但米兰在主场用闪电战将曼联击垮，以5比3的总比分将对手淘汰出局。AC米兰最终获得了该赛季的冠军联赛冠军。

The biggest connection between the two teams is of course Beckham.Since signing an apprentice contract with Manchester United in 1991, Beckham has spent 12 years in his Manchester United career, leaving countless unforgettable moments.During this period, he played 394 times for the Red Devils, scored 86 goals, and won 6 league titles and 1 UEFA Champions League title with the team until he joined the then Galacticos - Real Madrid in 2003.Beckham also played for Real Madrid together with Manchester United striker Owen in the 2004-05 season, writing a story of two British superstars playing for the La Liga giants at the same time.

而两队之间做过队友的还不只是他们两人，范德萨和因扎吉也曾在1999年至2001年共同效力于尤文图斯。在尤文效力期间，因扎吉还曾三度在欧洲赛事中攻破曼联球门，分别是1997-98赛季的欧冠小组赛尤文主场1比0战胜曼联的比赛，和1998-99赛季冠军联赛曼联那次令人难忘的3比2客场大逆转中的梅开二度。两队之间另一个有意思的关联是，罗纳尔迪尼奥和安德森的职业生涯都是从巴西格雷米奥队起步的。
