Chapter 970 Nineteen Crowns
"Yes, Frank Ribery, who played in the French low-level league, became the French footballer, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who was only temporarily in the Portuguese League, has become the European footballer. Gareth Bale, who was almost rejected by Southampton, is now the youngest international and goal scorer in Wales history... Of course, we must not mention Esteban Cambiaso. Who can still think that at the age of seventeen, he was ordered to leave the training ground early because he was weak and could not meet the requirements of the head coach in training? Cambiaso is now the most capable person in Manchester United. He is a person who can cover the entire football field. His performance in this game today can completely score nine points!"
"Why not ten?" his partner asked.
"Ah, because he is still young and has enough room for growth, his future is worth looking forward to. I don't want to give him a shocking eleven point at that time."
These players, like Esteban Cambiaso, surround Alex Ferguson, celebrating the victory with him. Who cares about the Barcelona people's mood?
Ferguson didn't even have a chance to shake hands with Rijkald. He saw Rijkald walking away alone on it. He knew that Rijkald's coaching position had been confirmed to be out of order, but he did not feel any sad for Rijkald. He just watched Rijkald's back gradually disappearing into the crowd, and reminded himself countless times in his heart: If I lose, he will be me at that time.

When Manchester United reached the finals for the fourth consecutive time, the Manchester United Evening Post put the title "Athens" on their outline to show their excitement. This time, the Manchester Evening Post did not act like this. The carnival was already on the night of the game and faced the league at the beginning of the next day, which was really not a time to celebrate.
Last night, all the beer in the bars where Manchester United fans gathered were sold out. A large number of police officers were waiting on the streets and near the bars to guard against the troubles of the fans who had drunk too much. Fortunately, in addition to several small-scale fights, more people were persuaded to verbal conflicts.
Because they are all supporters of a team, their verbal conflicts are nothing more than who is the biggest contributor to this game. Some say it is Esteban Cambiaso, some say it is Ribery who scored the goal, some say it is Ferguson, and some say it is the boss of the richest man in the world. But no matter how much they fight, after the sober person came out to smooth things out, everyone laughed and hugged their shoulders and poured wine on each other.
"What's there to fight for? Aren't they all part of our Manchester United?"
...
The match with Barcelona was held on the evening of April 29. The next morning, Ferguson pulled Queros to London with him, and Keane stayed to supervise the team's training, and the two of them went to Stamford Bridge to observe their opponents in the finals. The life-and-death battle between Manchester United and Chelsea began.
Before this game, Chelsea had a slight advantage because they scored a goal away from Liverpool in the first leg and tied with Liverpool 1:1.
It was really unexpected that Grant's team could reach this point and tie Liverpool at Anfield Stadium. Even Ferguson himself had to admit that Chelsea's performance was something he did not expect when Grant came on stage.
It is not fair to say that Grant made it to the semi-finals by relying on the things left by Mourinho. After this game, Ferguson re-reached the person he had despised.
Chelsea took the lead in the 33rd minute, Lampard passed straight. Aberoa failed to interception. Kalao swept over Hypia and saved his powerful shot from 16 yards by Reina. Drogba shot from 12 yards on the right side of the penalty area and entered the net at the close-range. This was his 31st goal this season.
Liverpool equalized the score in the 64th minute. Benardyn made a straight pass from the right to the middle, Carvalho failed to tackle, and Gerald shot low from 12 yards into the net in the lower right corner.
Chelsea led again in the 98th minute. Hypia tackled Balac in the edge of the penalty area, and Lampard scored a penalty kick in one go. This was his 19th goal this season. Lampard also raised his hands with tears after scoring the goal and presented the goal to his newly-dead mother.
Chelsea expanded the score in the 105th minute, Maluda made a straight pass, Liverpool failed to make an offside, Anelka broke into the penalty area and made a comeback from the right side of the penalty area. Drogba pushed the ball into the near corner from 8 yards in the front point and scored twice. This is his 15th goal this season.
Liverpool narrowed the gap in the 117th minute, Alonso passed the ball, Babel shot from 30 yards, and Cech saved the ball and made the ball into the net. This is his 10th goal this season.
After the 120-minute game, Chelsea eliminated Liverpool and reached the Champions League final for the first time in history.
The Stamford Bridge Stadium was filled with Chelsea fans cheering and jumping with their arms raised. The stands where Ferguson was located were trembling slightly. Ferguson had no intention of participating in the celebration of future enemies, and he and Queros quietly left.
This result disappointed him a little.
In fact, he hopes that Liverpool will defeat Chelsea and enter the Champions League final. After all, Liverpool's current strength is not comparable to Chelsea, at least one level worse. It is naturally good to be able to choose a weaker opponent in the final.
Of course, the main reason is that Ferguson hopes to step on his mortal enemy and win the seventh Champions League trophy in club history. That is, after he leads Manchester United to completely pull Liverpool off the altar, and then step on his mortal enemy, which is undoubtedly the happiest enjoyment.
Ferguson has no doubts about whether Manchester United can win the 19th top league championship in club history before the Champions League final.
Now, Liverpool has been eliminated, and Ferguson's idea of celebrating the championship with his mortal enemy's body has been completely shattered.
"I didn't like Grant from the beginning, there was indeed a reason..." On the way back to Manchester, the old man complained to Queros.
Just as Ferguson and Queros were complaining, in a luxurious private room at Stamford Bridge Stadium, Jiang Feng was congratulating Abu. At the same time, Jiang Feng was also glad that history was still moving forward according to its inherent track. In this way, Manchester United won the five consecutive Champions League championships and was insured again.
Jiang Feng didn't know Ferguson's thoughts, even if he knew it, he would not agree with Ferguson's idea. Although Liverpool's strength is worse than Chelsea, as a mortal enemy, Liverpool will definitely try his best in the game. The bursting power is definitely not inferior to Chelsea, and it may even be more difficult to deal with than Chelsea, because this is the only club in England that can be compared with Manchester United. Jiang Feng will not underestimate it just because it has been a little down in recent years.
In Jiang Feng's view, he should not be underestimated at any time for his mortal enemy. When competing with him, he must be more energetic.
Moreover, if Liverpool reached the final, they would definitely fight for the fifth Champions League trophy in club history, which is not good news.
Abu was very happy to be able to receive Jiang Feng's congratulations and invited Jiang Feng to visit the Champions League final. Of course, Jiang Feng would not refuse this. After all, this game is very important for Manchester United. Moreover, the Champions League final was at the end of May, and Jiang Feng didn't have much to do at that time.
...
For Ferguson, disappointment is disappointment, complaints are complaints, and the game must continue to play. The 37th round of the league is likely to be a game where Manchester United wins the 19th top league championship in club history. In this game, as long as Manchester United can win a draw, they can celebrate the championship at Old Trafford Stadium.
Manchester United's home match against West Ham United is the first game of this round of league, because the bright prospects are right in front of us, which has caused the morale of all Manchester United players to the extreme. The poor West Ham United appeared at the wrong place at the wrong time... Of course, for Manchester United's wolves, it was the right time to come to a right opponent at the right place.
4:0, West Ham United had no power to fight back. Manchester United, which had already advanced to the FA Cup final and the Champions League final, did not slaughter the Hammers in a clean and neat way because they only needed a draw to win the championship.
When the game reached the 90th minute, the referee whistle tactfully blew the end of the game, and did not give a second of stoppage time. He had long seen that Manchester United was waiting to celebrate the championship, and West Ham United had no intention of fighting.
In fact, after the 75th minute of the game, both sides were working there.
Under such obvious signals, if the referee is still not tactful, then his decades will be in vain.
After the game, West Ham United players evacuated very much. They were unwilling to be the foil for Manchester United's celebration. The feeling was very bad, even if they had no chance of winning the championship.
...
"The Champions League final is May 21st, the FA Cup final is May 17th." Ferguson looked at the schedule and then drew a red circle on the corresponding days on the calendar.
After doing this, he threw down his pen, clapped his hands, turned to Queros and said, "The last two games of this season will determine whether we will be heroes or bears."
"It's not that exaggerating, bear..."
"That's true. There is nothing more shameful in this world than the Double Asian King... No, there is." Ferguson suddenly denied his statement, "That is the King of Sanya, the King of Siya and the King of Wuya..." He stretched out three, four and five fingers in turn.
Queiros knew Ferguson was ready to extend his sixth and seventh fingers, but he didn't extend it in the end because Manchester United had already won two championships: the English League Cup and the Premier League. (To be continued...)
