The most low-key superstar

Chapter 136 Steady Progress
Fortunately, the round of [-] matches in the Champions League will not start until late February. Manchester United can now fully cope with the league and the FA Cup without being distracted by European competitions. So now their main task is to grab points and expand as much as possible. Team gap.

Now there is a seven-point gap with No.2 Chelsea, but this is not safe. The league journey is still far away, and their opponent in the Champions League is Lyon. This French powerhouse, which staged a super reversal in the group stage, is not easy to deal with.

The most important thing in the last few games is the game against Everton. Now Everton ranks No.5. The head coach Moyes is also a famous super young coach. Coach Ferguson is very optimistic about his fellow countryman and even hopes Let Moyes become his successor, but it didn't work.

Everton FC's long and proud history has given them a venerable place in the history of English football. In 1878, Everton Club was officially established, 14 years earlier than their arch-enemy Liverpool.In the 20s, Everton established the reputation of England's powerhouses. In the 1927-28 season, the legendary Dean scored 60 goals in one season, not only helping Everton win the league title that year. The champion also created a single-season scoring record that has not been broken so far.

Everton tenaciously defend the Premier League seat and still maintains a proud record - since 1954, it has not been relegated from the top flight.

Just like in today's game, Everton showed their tenacity. The whole 90 minutes of the game made the morale of Manchester United helpless. Their goalkeeper played almost perfectly today. In the game, Nicole also created A penalty.

It was the 40th minute of the second half when Nicole and Ronaldo cooperated. In the end, Nicole broke into the penalty area and was pulled down by Stubbs. The referee awarded a penalty kick.

Wayne Rooney, who was born in Everton, took the penalty and was blocked by the old Manchester United player Howard.

At the press conference after the game, Mr. Ferguson was very dissatisfied with the interviews of the reporters, because the reporters raised an embarrassing thing, that is, Howard, who was expelled, performed so well, why did Manchester United sell him? Lose.

Ferguson's walk away made reporters excited, such a news selling point is not common.

Of course, Grant, who did not have a coaching license at Chelsea, did not miss this opportunity. They beat Blackburn away, and Arsenal also defeated the downcast Tottenham in the derby. Manchester United's points gap was narrowed.

During the next day's training, Coach Ferguson's face was always unsightly, and the players dared not joke, for fear of offending the stern old man.

But there is still one good thing for Nichols, that is, his new contract was finalized, and he signed it on the first day of the new year. £11 less than Ronaldo's £[-], £[-] more.

However, Nicole, who heard the good news, was soon shocked by Paul. He had to pay 50% of the tax, and he was also burdened with a break clause of about 8500 million pounds. How to spend money, do not make any investment, so he didn't pay attention to paying so much tax, which made him very depressed.

There is no room for loss in the next three games. Mr. Ferguson talked to the players very seriously, that is, he does not accept a game without a victory, and nine points must be obtained.

Although the team has implemented a rotation policy, Nickel, who has always been in a very good physical condition, is not so happy. He has participated in all four league games including the match against Everton, and scored a total of three goals. assists, two champagne recipients.

In the first game after Christmas, they defeated Sunderland 3:1 in an away game, which stabilized the advantage in the standings and did not continue to let competitors chase points.

Nicole spent Christmas alone. Although several teammates invited Nicole to his home as a guest, but does Nicole know that Christmas is the Spring Festival for foreigners, and it is a time for family reunion, so it is very unwise to go alone. suitable.

Yang Mi and Nicole exchanged heartfelt feelings on the phone, especially Yang Mi's guilt for not being able to spend Christmas with Nicole, which made her extra gentle and tactful on the phone.

Nickel, who was full of guilt in his heart, did not provoke that Ji Li, maybe she is still a passer-by in Nicole's life after all.

In the game against West Ham, Nicole met many old friends. The head coach at that time had been fired, and there were still many teammates at that time. , has been violated by opponents many times, English football is like this, maybe they are very good friends off the field, but on the field, they are definitely sworn enemies.

The game was fierce, but it was definitely not exciting. There was no coherence in the game. Fouls and yellow cards became the main theme of the game. Only on Nickel, West Ham got three yellow cards, and they won the whole game. In Chapter 8 of yellow cards and one red card, Manchester United also received three yellow cards. The referee became the biggest protagonist of the game. It was because of his connivance with the West Ham players at the beginning of the game that the game was out of control. After the game, he The level of law enforcement has been questioned by the coaches of both sides.

But this did not affect Manchester United to go home with three points, the score was 2:0.
When he got home and saw his legs were bruised and purple, Nichol was terrified. Although his physical fitness was very good, he couldn't stand such a toss.

From the beginning of the 2005-2006 season, Birmingham began to "run back and forth" between the Premier League and the British Championship, repeating the tragicomedy of relegation and promotion countless times.

This season, Hong Kong businessman Yang Jiacheng's acquisition of Birmingham was not successful, but it had a considerable impact on the team's preparations. Now Birmingham is struggling in the relegation zone. With their strength, it is difficult to stop even if they perform well. Manchester United's winning streak.

The score of 5:0 was a reflection of the real level of the game. However, in the 76th minute of the second half, after completing a tackle, Nickell did not stand up immediately, but made a substitution gesture. At that time, Nicole felt his right leg It was very tight and felt a strong pain. Although Nicole had no experience in this area, the doctors in the laboratory reminded them many times that if they felt something wrong, they should stop immediately.

Nickel has worked very hard in these few games, and his physical energy consumption is still very high, especially in the last game against West Ham, his right leg was violated many times by his opponent, so there is a sign of injury in this game.

The team doctor checked nervously, and Nicole carefully told the team doctor how he felt. His rich experience allowed the team doctor Swell to judge that it was a symptom of a muscle strain. Ice and bandages were applied, and arrangements were made immediately to take Nicole to the hospital for re-examination.

Nickel's injury caught many people by surprise, and no one thought that Nickle, whose physical condition has always been at the top level of Manchester United, would be injured.

Sir Alex Ferguson was also very worried. He once again emphasized that the accompanying staff should tell him the result as soon as possible. In England's tradition, the head coach must be the first to know the status of his players.
