Although winning the Premier League is in sight, the championship has not been won yet, and fans can cheer for it. Ye Su and Manchester United players are not yet at the beginning of celebration. And their next battle will come in 70 hours.

Just at 8:5 pm local time on May 14, the second leg of the UEFA Europa League semi-finals will be held at Old Trafford Stadium.

Because he lost away in the first leg, this game cannot be lost for Manchester United.

So, after playing against Crystal Palace, although it was already late at night, the whole Manchester United team rushed back to Manchester overnight.

When Manchester United got off at Manchester, it was already early in the morning on May 12 local time.

And just at nine o'clock that morning, Ye Su summoned the entire team to resume training.

Although the players who played last night were still very tired, because the season was about to end soon, everyone was gritting their teeth and persevering.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is about to win the league championship, which makes the players very excited and have the motivation to persevere.

For the current Manchester United team, although the last time they won the Premier League was two years ago, due to the team's metabolism during this period, there are not many players in the team who have experienced Premier League championships.

Especially in the main lineup, including Luke Shaw, Maguire, Van Dyke and Kyle Walker on the entire defense, Kante, Mata, De Bruyne and Bruno Fernandez in the midfield, and Valdy on the front line, none of the nine players have tasted the Premier League championship.

Among them, Mata is a very special one. The 27-year-old Spanish midfielder is definitely a successful career. In terms of clubs, he has won the Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup and Spanish Cup del Rey, and has also won the highest honors in the World Cup, European Cup and European Youth Championship in the national team, but he has always missed the league championship in the top league. Whether in Valencia, Chelsea, or at Manchester United last season, his team has failed to win the league championship.

Except for Mata, the rest of the people are almost all newcomers in the top league, so they almost have no experience in winning the championship, so they are naturally more eager to win the championship.

……………………

In a busy life, two days passed quickly.

Because the UEFA Cup was held at around 8 o'clock in the evening, Manchester United were conducting normal training at the Carrington training base on the morning of the 14th, but the afternoon training was much simpler, mainly to adjust the player's status.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the team had supper together, then rested for another hour, and set off from Carrington training base at 6:30, boarded the team bus, headed to Old Trafford Stadium for pre-match preparations.

When Manchester United's bus arrived at Old Trafford at 7 o'clock, tens of thousands of Manchester United fans were already gathered in the square.

When Ye Su led the players off the bus, he was greeted by Manchester United fans in the square.

After more than a year of outstanding performance, Ye Su has now been widely accepted and loved by Manchester United fans. The applause and cheers he received are no less than those of team players like Rooney and De Bruyne.

Among the fans, Ye Su saw many Eastern Hosts, and even many of them were slogans to express their support for him. Among these people are Chinese who work and study in the UK, as well as Chinese and overseas Chinese.

Ye Su was in a good mood and was invited to sign some nearby fans.

However, Manchester United did not stay in the square outside the stadium for more time, and quickly entered the stadium and began to warm up before the game.

At 7:50 pm, when the peak of fans' entry came, Manchester United ended their warm-up and returned to the home team's locker room to prepare for the game.

Ye Su once again gave a brief pre-match training, mainly emphasizing the team's tactics and some things that need special attention.

After only two or three minutes, Ye Su and Giggs and other coaching team members left the locker room.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Manchester United's eleven starting players walked out of the locker room under the leadership of captain Rooney and prepared to play.

Faced with this life-and-death battle in advance, Ye Su had no reservations and arranged an aggressive 433 formation. Starting goalkeeper De Gea, Luke Shaw, Maguire, Van Deck and Kyle Walker in the back line; Kante served as a single midfielder, De Bruyne and Mata formed the front midfielder, De Bruyne was on the left and Mata was on the right; Valdy, Rooney and Bruno Fernandez formed the forward trident.

For Sevilla, with Cork Anduhar starting, Vidal, who performed well a week ago, was pushed to the midfield position, while Reyes temporarily sat on the bench at the opening.

……………………

Sevilla is one of the best teams in the history of the UEFA Cup. They have won three UEFA Cup championships, tied with Juventus, Inter Milan and Liverpool to win the most championships in the history of the UEFA Cup. And unlike Juventus and other three teams, which won the championships in the early and mid-stage period of the UEFA Cup, Sevilla is the newly rising overlord in the UEFA Cup.

Sevilla won the first championship in the UEFA Cup, which was only nine years ago in the 2005-2006 season, but in the past nine years, they have reached the UEFA Cup final three times and finally won three times without any mistakes.

Even in Ye Su's memory, Sevilla's performance in the UEFA Cup will be even better in the future. Including this season, he won the championship three times in six years, giving the Europa League the Sevilla Cup.

The performance of the English team in the UEFA Cup is actually quite good. This event, including its predecessor, the UEFA Cup, has not had a long history. It has only 44 seasons so far, with 43 championships previously. The English team won 7 times, second only to Serie A, which won 9 times and La Liga, which won 8 times.

The first championship in the League Cup was won by Tottenham Hotspur, the old British League One team at that time. The second championship was won by Manchester United's arch rival, the Reds Liverpool.

Among the teams that won the most UEFA Cup, four teams including Liverpool and Juventus tied for the first place, followed by Tottenham, which had won the championship twice. In addition, Chelsea and Ipsvic also won the championship in this event.

However, Manchester United did not perform well in this competition, and their best results before were just in the quarterfinals.

……………………

Manchester United's first participation in this event can be traced back to the 1964-1965 season, but the event was called the International City Fair Cup, which was of the nature of an invitational tournament and was not recorded in the official UEFA event. Manchester United entered the semi-finals and was eliminated by Hungarian team Ferencvaros, who won the championship that year.

In the 1971-1972 season, UEFA officially took over the Expo Cup and founded the UEFA Cup we are familiar with.

Manchester United participated in the official League Cup for the first time in the 1976-1977 season. After reversing and eliminating Ajax in the 1/32 final, Manchester United was reversed and eliminated by Juventus in the 1/16 final. That season, Juventus finally won the League Cup championship.

Manchester United participated in the League Cup three times in the 1980s, but in the 1980-1981 season and 1982-1983 season, they were eliminated by Polish team Vizevloz and Spanish team Valencia in the first round of the 32nd finals. The championships in those two seasons were Ipswich and Anderlecht respectively.

Finally, in the 1984-195 season, Manchester United ushered in a breakthrough in the League Cup. They eliminated Hungarian team Giolly, Dutch team Eindhoven, Scottish team Dundee United, and advanced to the quarterfinals to create the best results in the League Cup era. Manchester United was finally eliminated by Hungarian team Vidoton Fehva in the quarter-finals, who won the runner-up of the season and the championship belonged to Real Madrid.

Entering the 1990s, English football ushered in the era of the Super League, and Manchester United gradually entered the era of Ferguson's dynasty. In the 1992-1993 and 1995-1996 seasons, Manchester United both won the league championships in China, but they both gave up the League Cup too early. Manchester United stopped in the 1/32 finals again in these two seasons and were eliminated by Moscow torpedoes and Volgograd respectively. The champions in these two seasons are Juventus and Bayern Munich.

As the Ferguson Empire entered its heyday, Manchester United participated in the Champions League for many years and won twice in the 1998-1999 and 2007-2008 seasons.

In the 2009-2010 season, the League Cup was changed to the UEFA Cup and entered a new era. In the 2011-2012 season, Manchester United was unexpectedly eliminated in the Champions League group stage and had to switch to the UEFA Cup. As a result, after eliminating Ajax, Manchester United was double-killed by Bilbao in the 1/8 final, who eventually reached the final and lost to Atletico Madrid.

Manchester United ranked 6th in the Premier League last season and got a place to participate in the UEFA Cup playoffs. After double defeating Cyprus team Limassol, they advanced to the UEFA Cup. After qualifying as the second in the group, Manchester United defeated teams such as Fiorentina, Roma and Dynamo Kiev, and entered the semi-finals, and had already achieved the best results in history.

Although he lost away in the first leg of the semi-finals, Manchester United will not give up. Manchester United is eager for a championship, which is not only a trophy, but also means collecting the Grand Slam glory of the three major European Cups.

The three major European Cups refer to the European Champions League, the European Winners Cup, and the UEFA Cup. Currently, only Juventus, Ajax, Bayern Munich, and Chelsea have completed the Grand Slam. Manchester United has won the Champions League three times and won the Winners Cup in the 1990-1991 season, and has never won the UEFA Cup and its predecessor League Cup.

If Ye Su leads the team in his first full season, he will not only be able to win the Premier League championship, but also win the UEFA Cup and become the fifth European team in Europe's Grand Slam glory, which will undoubtedly be a perfect thing for him.
