Chapter 752 Single Core

After the Champions League group stage draw ceremony, European bookmakers immediately adjusted their winning odds. Barcelona, ​​which had a good draw, ranked first with 4.oo times. Although Real Madrid was in the group of death, it still ranked second with 6.oo times. Manchester United and Chelsea tied for third with 6.5o times, leaving Gao Xiaodong. Inter Milan, the defending champion with Mourinho, only ranked fifth.

Manchester United are in a group with Valencia, Rangers and Turkish upstart Bussaspor. In an interview with the official website, Manchester United coach Ferguson was quite satisfied with the team's selection. "Seeing that Real Madrid, AC Milan, and Ajax are grouped together, we really can't complain, because it will be good for us." It's a good signing indeed. You always see a lot of long-distance away games, but this time, we just had to go to a distant away game in Turkey."

Also in the same group as Manchester United is Scotland's Glasgow Rangers. Sir Alex Ferguson played for this team during his playing days. After the end of the season, he lost his main position because his wife, Kathy, was a Catholic. In the third season, he was even reduced to To the reserve team. After Sir Alex Ferguson coached Aberdeen, he won three Scottish League titles, four Scottish Cups, one League Cup and one European Cup Winners' Cup, breaking Rangers' dominance of Scottish football in one fell swoop.

The current Rangers coach Smith was Ferguson's assistant coach. Ferguson said: "Glasgow Rangers are an opponent that cannot be underestimated. They play very tough. Smith and I have had a phone call and he told me that we need some Old Trafford." Ford’s tickets, he can’t wait for us to play.”

Regarding another strong opponent, Valencia, Ferguson said: "Valencia performed very well last season. We have played against them 4 times, winning one and drawing three. This result will give us more confidence."

In addition to Rangers and Valencia, Manchester United also has the opponent Busassburg. Ferguson also talked about the situation of this team, "Bussburg was the local champion last season, and their away games are the same." Test, we need to travel a long distance, and there are new teams in the Champions League. This is the charm of this competition, and we hope to lock in the right to qualify as soon as possible."

Gao Xiaodong, who has won two annual awards, also talked about the draw.

"Our signings are okay. Although Valencia and Rangers have the strength to threaten us, this is the Champions League. There are nine former Champions League winners. Most of the others are champions and runners-up in major leagues. You Don't be too greedy. I think the most important thing for us is to get first in the group, which will give us a good schedule."

Gao Xiaodong also made brief comments on the original head coach Mourinho's team and his old club Inter Milan.

"There is not much difference in the strength of Real Madrid's group, but for Real Madrid, it is not a group of death. They will definitely qualify."

"Inter Milan should be wary of Tottenham. Although they are competing in the Champions League for the first time in fifty years, they have the ability to cause trouble to Inter Milan. However, there is no suspense for Inter Milan to qualify."

Gao Xiaodong also looked forward to his goals for the new season. He expressed his hope that he could win the Champions League again and be the top scorer.

Manchester United people think it is a good pick, and Valencia, which ranks 11th in winning odds, also thinks it is a good pick.

The 39-year-old Valencia head coach Emery said in an interview with reporters after the draw: "This is a good draw. Manchester United is a great opponent. It is the dream of every coach to be able to compete with Sir Alex Ferguson. Glasgow Rangers and Newcastle United are a great opponent." Salzburg are both championship teams, and it will definitely be exciting to be in a group with them. However, I believe that we have the ability to qualify from Group C, preferably first in the group. If we want to achieve this goal, in the game against Manchester United We just can’t lose.”

In the eyes of the media, the situation in Group C is very clear. Manchester United and Valencia qualify. Glasgow Rangers and Bussasburg are not enough to threaten the Red Devils and Bat Corps.

The only suspense is whether Valencia can upset and take first place in the group.

The UEFA Champions League group stage will not start until mid-September. After the draw ceremony, the situation of European football's powerful players will immediately turn into chaos, and the top 32 will go back to prepare for the upcoming league.

Manchester United's opponent in the third round of the English League was West Ham United, which had suffered two consecutive defeats with poor defense.

Of course, such an opponent cannot cheer up Manchester United. For Ferguson, this is a good opportunity to rotate and adjust the lineup.

This season Manchester United has to compete in the league, Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup. The competition in the English League is particularly fierce. Without sufficient personnel reserves, it is very difficult to flourish in all directions.

What makes Manchester United fans excited is that midfielder Hargreaves and midfielder Anderson both appeared on the training ground.

Hargreaves, who was poached from Bayern for 1.7 million pounds, has almost never appeared on the green field since September 2008. Although he had a brief appearance of 30 seconds at the end of last season, it was nothing more than a mess at best. It just looks familiar. In fact, towards the end of last season, the 29-year-old midfielder once started training with the first team. Unfortunately, during pre-season training this summer, Hargreaves' knee injury recurred again and he was dismissed by the head coach. Ferguson sent it back to expert Richard Stroman in Colorado, USA, for another "overhaul."

Midfielder Anderson is young and has recovered much better than Hargreaves. However, after nearly half a year on the bed, it is doubtful whether Anderson can recover as soon as possible and adapt to the rhythm of the league. Although Anderson's desire and fighting spirit are very high, Ferguson said that he is still not optimistic about the current situation of the Brazilian player. He will decide whether to send him to the game based on Anderson's training status.

On Saturday, England played six games. They had won two consecutive games without conceding a goal. Chelsea, who scored 12 goals, won again. They defeated Stoke City 2:0. Drogba sealed the score with a penalty kick and scored 4 goals. Leading the scorer list.

After a disastrous defeat at the hands of Manchester City, Liverpool finally got off their feet and beat West Brom 1:0, starting their own road to recovery.

Arsenal took advantage of their victory in the previous round and beat Blackburn Rovers 2:1 away from home in this round, trailing Chelsea by two points.

The invincible Chelsea did not put pressure on Manchester United coach Ferguson. Ferguson, who has been coaching England for 24 years, has his own rhythm. In the game against West Ham United, he still adopted a rotation tactic and let the players who did not play in the previous game come on to find a replacement. Find status.

O'Shea replaced right back Rafael, Giggs replaced Nani, Park Ji-sung replaced Valencia, Fletcher replaced Scholes, and Rooney replaced Hernandez.

Compared with the last round away game against Fulham, Ferguson changed five players in this round, with Gao Xiaodong serving as the core of the attack for the first time.

CCTV on-site commentator He Hui praised Ferguson's arrangement very much, "Although Scholes performed well, he is already 35 years old. Manchester United needs to adapt to the days when Ginger Head is not around. The Ax Gang is weak and in poor condition. In this At this time, we need to practice Xiaodong's ability to lead the team alone, and we can also detect problems early. When we enter the Champions League knockout rounds, we will have no time to train and adjust."

Due to Gao Xiaodong's outstanding performance in the previous two league games and a Community Shield, Manchester United fans are obviously looking forward to Gao Xiaodong's role as the single core in the frontcourt. When Gao Xiaodong played, the Old Trafford stands were full of Gao Xiaodong. The voice calling "Gao Xiaodong"'s name.

Gao Xiaodong was also very ambitious. As he walked, he clapped and thanked the fans. Unexpectedly, Rooney's shoelaces were untied in front of him. As he was tying his shoelaces, Gao Xiaodong bumped into him and almost fell over, causing all the fans in the audience to laugh.
