Chapter 274 Porto's Challenge
"I don't mean to blame the referee at all, but we clearly know that awarding a penalty at that time needs to be very cautious, because a simple decision is likely to ruin the hard work of this group of boys for a season. Anyway, I think I can’t tell that there was any intentional handball motive in that action, of course everyone’s judgment is different, I’m just expressing my own opinion.” Aston Villa’s coach O’Neill was actually very angry in his heart, but he still There is one last shred of sanity.

This penalty has also become the focus of this round of the league. Many TV programs have commented on this penalty as the most valuable penalty of the season, because it is likely to affect the trend of the entire season.

"I didn't expect an ordinary penalty to attract so many people's attention. I don't think I'm interested in discussing things that have become a thing of the past. I care more about our opponents in the Champions League." Ferguson refused to comment on this penalty , in his view, completely meaningless.

However, when the reporter asked about Nicole's goal, he seemed so interested, "It's a great goal. To be honest, I didn't expect that Nicole would send the ball into the opponent's goal in this way. Look, I still underestimated Nickell, he always brings more surprises to the fans."

Nickel's lore defeated Aston Villa. Manchester United avoided the embarrassment of three winless games in the league. It also temporarily stabilized the Red Devils' ranking in the league and widened the points gap with Liverpool again Four points, this four-point gap has almost become a psychological bottom line.

However, they don't have much chance to breathe, because with only two days of rest, Portugal's giants Porto will kill them.

Porto has won two UEFA Champions League titles in history. In 1987, Porto ushered in the first glorious year in the history of team building. In that year's Champions League final, they defeated their strong opponent Bayern Munich 2-1.

From 2002 to 2004, under the leadership of Mourinho, he first won the UEFA Cup. The following year, he defeated Manchester United, Lyon and Deportivo Football Club. Held at the home court of Schalke 04 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany Defeated the French club Monaco 3-0 in the final and became the European champion again 17 years later. After Liverpool from 1975 to 1977, the second team won the UEFA Cup and the European Championship for two consecutive years. Cup (including the previous UEFA Champions League) championship team, and Mourinho has also become a top coach in world football with this great victory.

After a lapse of 61 months, Porto returned to Old Trafford. The last time the Portuguese Super Club won a tie in the Dream Theater under the leadership of Mourinho, thus stubbornly eliminated Manchester United in the round of sixteen. , but they have a total of three visits to the Dream Theater with 1 draw and 2 losses without a win. In fact, they have never won a win in the previous 12 visits to England with 1 draw and 11 losses. Manchester United have 9 wins and 8 draw against the Portuguese Super League at home 1 times. Overwhelming advantage.

Although the time is very tight, Mr. Ferguson still gave the players half a day off. They will regroup at 03:30 the next day to prepare for Porto.

The weather is very good now. Recently, Nichols felt that his life was a little mechanized, so under Hall's suggestion, the Nichols family came to enjoy the sunshine on the tree-lined road near their home.

Angela was very active today, she was not content to lie in the stroller until she was on Nicole's neck, and she was happy.

The neighborhood where Nicole lives is regarded as an international wealthy area in Manchester. Usually, few people appear on the street, and there are no shopping centers here. Therefore, Nicole and Yang Mi do not have to worry about being disturbed, except for meeting Outside of the few neighbors, it is generally quiet.

Angela was very happy to go out this time. Although she is still very young and cannot speak, Yiyi can already make some simple sounds. For Angela, it is rare for her father to come out to play with her , especially on a sunny morning.

And Nicole's body and mind were also greatly relieved by Angela's laughter. In short, Nicole, who appeared at the Carrington Base in the afternoon, once again glowed with enviable youthful vitality.

The training in the afternoon focused on attacking, especially when the opponent retreated completely. Because Berbatov was not fit for the game, Manchester United would attack the opponent's goal without a strong center forward.

Therefore, set kicks will become the best method. The coaching staff focused on combining various set kick tactics, especially the tactical coordination of corner kicks.

The Porto team also came to Manchester this afternoon. Their coach Ferreira said at the airport, "We will play against the best teams in Europe and the world. They have the best players in the world. But we also Not bad, we are full of confidence and hope to play well."

It is already a miracle for coach Ferreira to be able to appear at Old Trafford. He had already been banned for two games by UEFA. However, due to the club's unremitting efforts and England The media believed that it was UEFA's intention to deal with the Premier League team. Porto's appeal was miraculously approved.

"Welcome to the 08/09 season, the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League. What we bring to you is the home match between Manchester United and Portugal's Porto. Players from both sides have already entered the field. Let us introduce you to the starting list of the visiting team, Porto. Goalkeeper Helton No. 1, defender No. 21 Sapnaru, No. 14 Rolando, No. 2 Alves, No. 28 Sissoko, midfielder No. 8 Gonzalez, No. 25 Fernando, No. 16 May Reles, forward No. 9 Lisandro Lopez, No. 12 Hooker, No. 10 Rodriguez, well, an unexpected formation, Porto is ready to play big at Old Trafford."

"Home team, Van der Sar and O'Shea replaced the yellow card suspended Brown as right back, Evans, Vidic, Evra It seems that Manchester United's back line still can't play with the most complete personnel, don't forget Their back line used to be the envy of every head coach."

"Let's take a look at Manchester United's midfield, oh! Five midfielders, Nickel, Park Ji-sung, Carrick, Nani, Fletcher, then Rooney is the only striker. Manchester United uses a four-five team at home. type."

"Porto has suffered a lot this season. They almost lost their European qualifications this season. However, they escaped in the end because they were suspected of match-fixing in two league games in the 03/04 season. In the end, six points were dropped, but they still won the league title last season."

Giggs sat on the bench, so the captain's armband was once again handed over to Nicole.

"Our priority is to control the midfield, Nicole, your job is to attack, Michael and Darren will help you from the back."

In fact, Manchester United's formation today is more like a 4231, with two defensive midfielders, Carrick and Fletcher.

The game started with the neat singing of Manchester United fans.

The enthusiasm and wildness of the Portuguese were fully reflected after the opening. They completely forgot the history of no victories at Old Trafford, and without any temptation, they directly invested in the attack. It can be seen that, They just want to use offense to crush their opponents.

After the drawing ceremony for the quarter-finals, many English media praised Manchester United for their good luck, thinking that they had drawn a good lottery. Ferguson also had a little bit of meaning in his heart, but Porto didn't think so. They had already made up their minds. , surprising those who underestimated them.
