Chapter 521 Chapter [157] - Top Battle - [Today's third update]

The Champions League is just a coffee table filled with washing utensils and cups.

If the injuries of Xuzhou and Scholes are a disaster, then Rooney, who was injured in the match with Bayern, is a disaster.

Yes, in the game against Bayern Munich, Rooney was also injured, but it didn't look serious at the time, but after he came down, everyone knew how serious it was!According to relevant personnel, Rooney, like Xu Zhou, will miss the [-] World Cup in South Africa and become the two most tragic stars in [-]!

However, not long after, there was good news here!

According to British media, after a preliminary examination, Rooney only needs to rest for four weeks at most, and England coach Fabio Capello has also received various guarantees, saying that Xiaopang's ankle injury will not be serious enough to make him miss the World Cup.

However, Manchester United coach Ferguson has ordered a blockade of speech, prohibiting anyone from publishing Rooney's injury report, and the official statement will be reserved for Friday's press conference, which will be announced by Ferguson himself.Despite this, Manchester United provided Capello with a lot of instant information, and the Italians also obtained a lot of information from Manchester United's medical team and relevant people in the Football Association through personal relationships.

It is reported that unless Rooney's injury suddenly deteriorates, he only needs to rest for four weeks at most, and is expected to participate in the World Cup warm-up matches with Japan and Mexico in May.

To be sure, Rooney will undergo a second MRI.If the conclusion is the same as the first time, then Capello can breathe a sigh of relief, and Manchester United will suffer a heavy loss, because Rooney will miss the four important battles against Chelsea, Blackburn, Manchester City and Tottenham this month, which are related to defending the title.In addition, Rooney will definitely not be able to play in the second leg of Manchester United's Champions League quarter-final against Bayern at home next week, and even if Manchester United passes, he will not be able to participate in the two semi-finals on April 4 and April 21.

Of course, the news about Xu Zhou and Scholes is that these two will be completely reimbursed for the entire season, and Xu Zhou will completely bid farewell to the [-] World Cup in South Africa!Moreover, Xu Zhou's family and girlfriend also came to Xu Zhou's side, and Xu Zhou is going back to Italy to recuperate!

This made the whole of England and the world sigh!Exclaimed that the Manchester United team is full of evil spirits, it is too bad to lose so many generals in one game!

At the moment of the war, Manchester United coach Ferguson announced two pieces of good news. The Red Devils, who have been unlucky recently, finally received good news. Midfielder Hargreaves, who has been absent for 17 months, may come off the bench tonight.

The Red Devils' 1700 million Mr. Hargreaves has not played for the team since September 2008. The long-term injury has made the midfielder almost forgotten.Prior to this, he had already played a game in the Manchester United reserve team coached by Solskjaer, and his performance was acceptable.But his official comeback has been delayed again and again.But this time, people should not be disappointed - Manchester United coach Ferguson personally confirmed that Hager may sit on the bench tonight.If nothing else, Manchester United's attendance sheet for No. 9 this season will not be blank.

At the same time, Ferguson also revealed that O'Shea, a defender who once lost consciousness in his legs, is recovering well and will soon return to the first team. "This kid (O'Shea) has worked too hard this season, but fortunately, he has recovered very well in the last two or three weeks."

Manchester United's upcoming schedule is nothing short of devilish. The competition for the Champions League and the league has made them face many battles. The comeback of the two can more or less relieve the fatigue of the team.

"They are very close to officially playing. I may report them to the list tonight and next Wednesday." Given that Manchester United had previously taken Hargreaves from the Champions League list, the Englishman is very likely to appear on the Manchester United bench tonight. In Wednesday's Champions League life and death battle, we can see the Irish defender.

On the afternoon of April 4, British time, Manchester United's official website issued a message that Scholes and Xu Zhou of Manchester United will be reimbursed for the entire season, while Rooney's injury is uncertain.

Local time this morning, Ferguson held a routine pre-match press conference at the Carrington base, and then he officially announced the much-watched Rooney injury.Last night, Manchester United stated through the official website that Rooney's ankle was not broken, but a ligament injury, but the result of today's inspection is that Rooney's injury should affect the next game against Chelsea, but it will not affect England's World Cup trip.

At the same time, Alex Ferguson also said that Scholes and Xu Zhou are not as lucky as Rooney. The two will bid farewell to this season. Xu Zhou even lost the chance to participate in the World Cup in South Africa! !

Ancelotti warned his disciples in an interview that even without Wayne Rooney and Xu Zhou, Manchester United is still a very tough opponent, don't expect to be able to easily win the league with the Red Devils on Saturday.

In the first round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals in midweek, although Manchester United beat Bayern Munich 1:4, Rooney, the top scorer who scored 40 goals in 34 games, unfortunately injured his ankle ligament.And Xu Zhou, Scholes and others will be reimbursed for the entire season!However, Ancelotti confirmed that Manchester United without Rooney and Xu Zhou will not be affected.

He said at the pre-match press conference: "We all know the importance of Wayne Rooney and Xu Zhou to this team. They are both great players, especially Xu Zhou. He is almost half of the Manchester United team. Their performance this season is unbelievable, so his injury is really good news for us."

"But sometimes, the absence of one or two important players will often induce the team to play more than 100% of the level, so we must be more vigilant about this. Not only because of Manchester United's rich experience, but also because they have other players who can replace Rooney and Xu Zhou."

However, Ancelotti also has his own place where he can really feel at ease. The top scorer of the Blues, Didier Drogba, has confirmed that he can appear in the weekend's red-blue battle after resting for a whole week.

In the regular press conference before the game, Chelsea coach Ancelotti gave compliments to both Manchester United and Ferguson, so Ferguson also unexpectedly put away his previous aggressive tone and put a high hat on the opponent coach Ancelotti.Ferguson said that this is An Shuai's first season in England. In the absence of experience and the need to adapt and adjust, it is not easy for An Shuai to bring the Blues to the second place in the league, which is one point behind Manchester United. "Carlo has not made any mistakes so far. Although he has the experience of two European championships, the Premier League is a new challenge for him. There is no doubt that he has done a good job."

In addition, Ferguson also said that the exit from the Champions League is not a bad thing for Chelsea. "The Champions League is currently the highest-level competition in the world. It takes a lot of energy and physical strength to reach the knockout stage. (The Champions League exit) They can focus more on the league than us, and the team's fatigue is not as heavy as ours."

Rooney, who was injured in the Champions League in midweek, seems to be unable to play. If nothing else, his vacancy will be filled by "Brother Chic" Berbatov.Although the performance of Manchester United's No. 9 this season is still not worthy of his 3000 million worth, Ferguson still gave him a high degree of trust. "Berba and Rooney are different types of players, but I believe he can also play a single striker. He has amazing talent and inspiration. Watching him play football is like appreciating art. It is beautiful!"

Of course, Xu Zhou's departure dealt a greater blow to the Manchester United team. In this position, the Manchester United team did not have a good substitute player, which is why Xu Zhou played a lot of playing time on all fronts.Now, Xu Zhou's departure will definitely affect Manchester United's performance!

The morale of the Chelsea team was high after a 7-1 victory over Aston Villa in the last round.In terms of personnel, the striker Drogba did not play in the last round and got a full rest. Currently, he is only [-] goals away from Xuzhou, who is the top scorer, and he has already sharpened his sword and is eager to score.In addition, Lampard, Malouda, and Zhirkov in the midfield are also in good condition. Chelsea's offensive firepower is far better than Manchester United's loss of Xu Zhou and Rooney.

Coupled with the absence of the European war, the league championship is undoubtedly the most important goal of the Blues. With only 6 rounds left, the Blues are 1 point behind the Red Devils. All the soldiers understand that this battle will directly affect the final championship. Apart from winning, there is no room for maneuver. At the same time, their physical and personnel advantages also add weight to their victory in their visit to Old Trafford.

The Blues have scored 2 goals in the previous two rounds, and the two big victories seem to show that they are more effective when they only send one center forward.Playing Portsmouth, Anelka did not play; playing Villa, Drogba was rested.Midfielder Lampard also expressed his support for the single striker tactics, "The choice of the head coach proved to be correct. As for Drogba, he is indeed our undisputed best player this season."

If Chelsea wants to bring the previous flood of goals to Old Trafford, it will naturally be difficult.At least, the two main players of Chelsea's striker couldn't find the best feeling in front of Manchester United's gate.Didier Drogba played against Manchester United in the Premier League 8 times, but never achieved anything; while Anelka broke the Red Devils' city repeatedly when he first debuted, but only scored 8 goal in the last 1 matches.Former Chelsea captain Desailly also expressed pessimism about his old club in an interview a few days ago.Not only did he think that Deco and other five players in the Blues should be purged, but he also didn't have much expectation for Manchester United. "As a fan, I believe that Chelsea can defeat all opponents. But as a football commentator, I know that Manchester United at home is very difficult to beat, whether Rooney plays or not."

But for Ancelotti, being 1 point behind Manchester United made him believe that he must win, "We are not here to draw, but to win. We have beaten Manchester United twice this season, but this game is very different psychologically. It is more important because it is a battle for the title. It is not easy to win at Old Trafford, but this stadium has left me with the best memories of my coaching career, not only because of Ferguson! In 2, I led AC Milan to win the Champions League here, I will always Love this stadium."

Love Old Trafford?Terry certainly wouldn't.The 0-3 defeat here last season made the captain of the Blues determined to take revenge. "Not only will we go out with the confidence accumulated in the last few games, but the shame of losing here last season will also bring us extra motivation. We played terrifically in the previous two rounds. We need to maintain this momentum and continue to use the same tactics. We challenge Manchester United.

Compared with Manchester United, one of Chelsea's advantages is that they do not have the distraction of the Champions League, and they can play against Manchester United, which has just fought against Bayern.Anshuai said: "There is no European war, which may help us. The quarter-finals of the Champions League are very exhausting, not only physically, but also mentally. It is not important to be ahead or behind by 1 point at this stage of the season. What is important is that the players remain healthy and confident."

With the war imminent, Chelsea can no longer be distracted by Drogba being punished by UEFA.A few days ago, UEFA announced that it would suspend its class for 2 Champions League games.Chelsea, who were worried that Drogba would sit on the ball for 4 games, are quite satisfied with this penalty and have given up appealing.

The red-blue battle at Old Trafford on Saturday will largely determine the ownership of the Premier League this season.Such an important event should also be presided over by a referee who can enforce the law like a mountain.However, the 41-year-old Mike Dean obviously does not have such a good image.After being designated as the referee of this decisive battle, the British media have poached him, suggesting that this "soft whistle" may be an unstable factor in the game.

How soft is Dean's whistle?Blackburn full-back Olsson can tell you a story. On March 3, Blackburn beat Burnley with a penalty kick, and this penalty was the result of the joint efforts of Olsson and Dean.After the game, Olsson revealed: "I know that this referee awarded twice as many penalties as others, so I seized the opportunity." Of course, Olsson did not admit that he fell on purpose. "I saw the goalkeeper's feet sticking out. Maybe I exaggerated a little. I thought I would be given a yellow card when the whistle sounded."

This season, Dean has enforced 24 games, giving a total of 16 penalties, and sentenced to death every 1.5 games. He is the referee who gives penalties most frequently in the Premier League.Three of them were awarded to the Red Devils, including the equalizer in Manchester United's 3-2 home win over Arsenal and two penalties in Manchester United's 1-4 away win over Portsmouth.The former penalty was quite controversial. The Gunners always believed that Rooney was suspected of diving; in the latter game, Dean even gave 1 penalties in a single game.

Dean and Ferguson also had a feud. In the 2008-09 season, when Manchester United beat Hull City 4-3 at home, Ferguson quarreled with Dean, accusing him of not sending off the defender of Hull City, and was fined 1 for this. Sterling fine and two-match suspension.

Chelsea and Dean's "feud" is closer.In February this year, they lost 2 to 2 at home to Manchester City. The Blues' Belletti and Ballack were sent off by Dean.
