Chapter 146 Three Consecutive Ties

"Fuck him, fuck him, fuck Manchester United to death!"

"Come on, come on, boys, come on and kill Manchester United!!"

A loud and powerful shout came from the ward of Addenbrooke Hospital. If you just listened to the sound, everyone would definitely think that it was a strong middle-aged man, but in fact, the person who made these sounds was An old man who was nearly 70 years old still had an infusion bottle hanging on his body, but he was waving his arms over there, his face flushed, and he shouted loudly.

"Be careful, don't wave, Nick, don't be so excited!" an old lady next to him urged anxiously.

"Just be careful, you burst a blood vessel!" An old man in the bed next door said to him unhappily.

The old man named Nick immediately turned his head and angrily shouted at the patient in the next bed, "Horn, you are a traitor in London. Be careful and I will beat you sooner or later!" After saying that, he waved his hand demonstratively. fist.

Horn was similar in age to him, and after hearing this, he didn't care about him, as if he was used to the old man's bad temper, "If you want to beat me, you have to take good care of your health. If you have high blood pressure, don't watch the game. Isn’t this just seeking death?”

"Don't you have a bad heart? Don't you see?" Nick shot back without any sign of weakness.

"How am I the same as you? Our Manchester United is currently at the top of the standings, but what about your Arsenal?" Horn sneered and spat in the opponent's face, "It seems that we have fallen to third place? Who is second? Oh, yes Poor Newcastle!"

"Go away, sooner or later I will step on you again!" Nick was furious.

"You said it with your mouth?" Horn continued to laugh at him.

Nick immediately got off the bed, "Come down, let's compete!"

"Come just come, who is afraid of whom?"

Just when the two old men rolled up their sleeves and were about to have a big fight, the door to the ward was gently pushed open, and then an Oriental woman wearing a doctor's assistant uniform sneaked in and immediately turned around and closed the door. , as if they were afraid that people in the corridor outside would overhear what was going on in the room.

"What are you doing?" The oriental woman was beautiful and friendly in appearance, but when she saw the two old men rolling up their sleeves, her face immediately turned cold and her tone was a little harsh.

"Dear Huang, this London traitor and Manchester United lackey dares to look down on our Arsenal. I must teach him a lesson!"

"Beautiful Huang, he was the one who provoked me first, and I counterattacked defensively!" Horn has been a fan for decades, and he always talks about football-related terms.

After hearing this, the coldness on Huang Chu's face did not subside at all. "You are already dozens of years old and you are still so angry. You, lie back on the bed and do an electrocardiogram!" She pointed at Horn with a jade green onion. Nick suddenly laughed happily and made faces.

"And you, lie back and get ready to take your blood pressure!"

This time it was Horn who was gloating about his misfortune.

These two old men are just like naughty children who like to fight. What's terrible is that one of them is a die-hard Arsenal fan and the other is a believer of Manchester United. The two of them live in the same ward. It can be imagined that What kind of sparks will be created?

But strangely enough, Huang Chu's words were more effective than Nick's wife's words, and both of them immediately lay back on the bed obediently.

After helping Horn get the electrocardiogram, Huang Chu took Nick's blood pressure, but his beautiful eyes were always staring at the game on the TV on the wall. This game took place at the Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester. .

Originally, she planned to take leave to go to watch this game, and asked Eliza to leave a ticket for her. However, she did not expect that the hospital would cancel her vacation at short notice, so she could not go. In the end, she had to I secretly hid in the ward to watch the game, but even so, I was still late and couldn't see the beginning.

"What's the score?" Huang Chu asked casually.

"0:0!" Nick said with a chuckle, but immediately added, "Damn it, Manchester United can't do anything against Ajax's offense. I think this game is likely to be an upset. If Ajax It would be fun to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford."

This last sentence is obviously to provoke Horn and attack this Manchester United believer.

Sure enough, when Nick said this, Horn was about to stand up from the bed, but when he was halfway upright, he pulled on the instrument. Then he realized that he was doing an electrocardiogram and immediately lay down again, "Shit, it's only been ten minutes. We still don’t know who will be killed.”

If it were normal times, he would definitely scold his opponent a few more times, but today he did not scold Ajax because he knew that Huang Chu was a die-hard fan of Ajax. Judging from a series of clues, that The young head coach of Ajax seems to be her boyfriend, so scolding Ajax doesn’t mean scolding Huang Chu’s boyfriend?

How could a Manchester United fan do such a stupid thing?

"The blood pressure is a little high, don't get excited, don't get angry, understand?" Huang Chu reminded.

Like an obedient and good student, Nick immediately nodded in agreement and even took the initiative to give up the end of the hospital bed for Huang Chu to sit down.

Judging from the TV footage, the Old Trafford Stadium can be said to be full. With the addition of Veron this season, Manchester United fans have high hopes for the team, hoping that the team can once again reproduce the performance of 1999 in the Champions League. The pinnacle of glory.

Moreover, the current group situation in Group A of the Champions League is very complicated. Boavista has completely lost the possibility of qualifying for the group, but Ajax, Manchester United and Bayern Munich are all very tight on each other's points, especially Ajax. Jax, this team has 1 win and 2 draws, and performed very well in the three group stage games.

"Huang, that little boyfriend of yours is really good at it!" Nick praised with a smile after Huang Chu sat down to watch the game.

Huang Chu turned around and looked at Nick, who had a ghostly look on his face. He rolled his eyes at him unhappily, but the expression on his face was a disappointed smile. She was happier to praise Ye Qiu than to praise herself. So Nick tried this trick every time.

"Flatterer!" Horn spat at him again.

"I'm a flatterer? Don't you dare to admit that Ajax is so much weaker than Manchester United, but did you win?" Nick immediately retorted, and this time he felt that Huang Chu was supporting him, and he was more confident. That's enough.

"Think about last week at Arena Stadium, you were just unlucky. If Ruud van Nistelrooy hadn't scored at the last moment to save you, you would have been finished long ago. You are still looking down on others over there, hum!"

Horn was so robbed by Nick that he almost jumped up from the hospital bed and challenged him, "What a piece of luck? You didn't even look at it. Manchester United had the advantage for most of the game and created so many opportunities. If If it weren’t for the extraordinary performance of the Ajax goalkeeper, we would have reversed the situation long ago!”

"Oh, if someone performs well, he or she performs exceptionally well, and you don't count. In that game, how many must-goal opportunities did Ajax miss? Let me tell you, if it weren't for that group of brats, they would have become soft-footed shrimps at the critical moment. , you Manchester United have already swallowed a few eggs!"

Horn was so angry that he wanted to tear off the electrocardiogram circuits on his body and fight with Nick directly, "You...just watch, this time we return to Old Trafford, Ajax Dead!"

"I'm watching, Ajax still has the advantage!" Nick laughed and fired back.

It really surprised everyone. Ajax started attacking at the Arena Stadium, so forget it. But when they came to Old Trafford, Ye Qiu continued to attack at the beginning as always. Attacking tactics, and it's almost 20 minutes now, but Ajax's very impactful style of play has not changed at all.

But what is also puzzling is Ferguson. In the last game, it was clearly proved that Veron was in the midfield and the team's 451 effect was very poor, but he still arranged this game at Old Trafford. The Argentinian starts.

What are these head coaches thinking?

Just when Horn wanted to retort, Ajax scored first.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"

A very long voice from the commentator came from the TV, which made everyone realize that Ajax had broken Manchester United's goal at Old Trafford, which was bound to make the game complete. It gets tougher.

Huang Chu saw Van der Vaart dribbling the ball from the right and cutting inside. After shaking off Sylvester, he passed the ball diagonally to the left. Ibrahimovic pulled Blanco and deliberately missed it. Robben followed from behind. When he hit the goal with his left foot, he was so excited that he kept clapping his hands until his pink and white hands turned red.

"Wow, that's a goal!" Nick laughed and teased the angry Horn.

Horn, who was on the hospital bed, was so angry that his chest was rising and falling rapidly, and he was yelling, "Damn the defense. They can't even block such a ball. I don't know what they do for food? Are they worse than a group of children?"

After Huang Chu saw Ajax score, she was in a very good mood, especially when she saw the TV camera panning in front of the visiting team's coaching bench and saw Ye Qiu excitedly facing the Manchester United home team after the team scored. When Ferguson made a fist-impact gesture in front of the coaching bench, she smiled from ear to ear.

As early as a week ago, Manchester United was equalized at the last moment at Arena Stadium. On the one hand, Ferguson accused the players of poor performance. On the other hand, he also made a challenge to Ajax, saying that Manchester United would definitely lose when they return to Old Trafford. Wanting revenge, what I didn't expect was that Ajax still had the advantage after the start of the game.

"Ferguson seems to be in a bad mood. His team has been beaten by Ajax who are weaker than him twice and three times. The last time they were lucky enough to equalize the score at the last moment, then this game , can they continue to maintain their luck in the last game?" The commentator also teased Ferguson, who was blushing.

After seeing Ajax take the lead, Nick applauded vigorously, and then gave a thumbs up to Huang Chu, "Huang, you are so discerning, your little boyfriend is so amazing, in Lao Te Rufford made Manchester United lose their temper, which is something not everyone can do, it’s amazing!”

This was somewhat flattering, but Huang Chu was very impressed and smiled, not hiding his happiness and pride.

Horn was depressed, but he couldn't refute it. Even as a Manchester United fan, he had to admit that Ajax was not as strong as Manchester United, but their style of play and courage were very admirable. Taking the lead in scoring Manchester United's goal in every game, this strength is indeed not simple.

Originally, everyone analyzed the situation in Group A and thought that Manchester United and Bayern Munich would not have a big problem in qualifying together. But now it seems that Ajax has surprised everyone, especially when facing Manchester United and Bayern Munich. This team is very tenacious and resilient, and it is very difficult to play.

On the contrary, Portugal's Boavista is very attentive in defense, but there are too many small moves and too many cards, which makes it unpopular.

…………

…………

As Beckenbauer said, good tactics can help the head coach better grasp the probability of winning.

But sometimes, tactics cannot help a weak team defeat a strong team, because from a probability point of view, a strong team has a higher chance of making tactical mistakes, and they have more initiative to adjust and reverse the situation at any time.

At the beginning of the second half, Ferguson replaced Veron with Solskjaer, and the team returned to 442 again.

That is, Solskjaer's goal in the 73rd minute finally helped Manchester United tie Ajax at Old Trafford.

In the end, the two sides shook hands again, and the score of 1:1 made the head coaches of both sides very dissatisfied.

In the four games of Ajax in the second round of the group stage, except for the away game against Boavista, which got 3 points, the remaining three games were 1:1, which made Ajax only get 6 points.

In this round, Bayern Munich defeated Boavista 1:0 at home. In this way, Bayern Munich won 8 points with 2 wins and 2 draws in 4 rounds of group matches, while Manchester United also had 1 win and 2 draws, but the problem was that Manchester United defeated Boavista 3:0 at home, and their goal difference was more than Ajax.

In this way, after 4 rounds of games, Bayern Munich ranked first in the group, Manchester United ranked second, and Ajax could only rank third. Boavista failed to get any points and ranked last in the group.

In the remaining two rounds of group matches, Ajax will face Boavista at home, which is the key match for the team. Manchester United will play against Bayern Munich at home. In the last round, Ajax will challenge Bayern Munich away and Manchester United will challenge Boavista away.

The cruel group match forced Ajax to go all out in the remaining two rounds, especially the one against Boavista, which must be won. In this way, no matter what the result of the game between Manchester United and Bayern Munich is, Ajax can grab more favorable chips in the group qualifying.

Ferguson also looked unhappy. In his opinion, this game must be won by Manchester United, but in the two games against Ajax, Manchester United only got 1 point, which made him very dissatisfied.

But no matter how dissatisfied you are, you still have to be graceful.

After the game, Ferguson walked to the coaching seat of the visiting team as soon as possible and shook hands with Ye Qiu with a slightly stiff smile.

"You are very strong and lucky, but if you want to make it out of the group stage, I'm afraid..."

"Luck?" Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head, "Everyone seems to say that Manchester United is luckier."

Ye Qiu himself does not agree with this view, because Manchester United does have a lot of problems, mainly the problems of the back line and midfield personnel configuration, so Ajax's attack at the beginning can be successful. He also changed his mind temporarily after seeing Manchester United's starting lineup.

"You should still be careful about the game with Bayern Munich, they are the leader now!" Ye Qiu laughed and diverted hatred.

The competition in the Champions League today is too fierce, completely different from the disparity between the strong and the weak later. There are strong competitors in each group, and the strength gap between each team is not that big. Even the teams from countries such as the Netherlands, Portugal, and France are not so easy to play.

Of course, this is not unique to the Champions League. The competition in the four major European leagues is also very fierce. In the Premier League, Manchester United, Newcastle, Arsenal and Chelsea are all very close in points. This is also the case in Serie A, La Liga and Bundesliga. The league points in the Dutch Eredivisie this season are also very close.

PSV Eindhoven now puts most of its energy on the Dutch Eredivisie. Gretz obviously feels that it is more confident to win the Dutch Eredivisie championship than the UEFA Cup. Therefore, they are now chasing Ajax. The difference between the two teams is only 2 points. If they play a bad game, it is possible to reverse the situation.

Ferguson looked at Ye Qiu and smiled with appreciation. "We will definitely meet again!" The provocation in his words was very strong. Obviously, he will go all out next time they meet.

Of course, this does not mean that he held back in these two games, but that Manchester United had more or less some problems in these two games.

"Same here!" Ye Qiu fought back without showing any weakness.

Ferguson was not satisfied with the results of the game, and neither was he. The two games against Manchester United and the one against Bayern Munich were almost the same. They were tied by the opponent after taking the lead. This made Ye Qiu reflect on why all three games were like this?

Ajax's aggressive and aggressive style of play was indeed very threatening, especially when they were physically strong at the beginning. However, once they entered the second half and their physical strength declined, the players could not guarantee 100% execution of the tactics.

There are many reasons for this. One is the lack of experience of the players, and the other is the lack of proficiency of the team in controlling the rhythm. Ye Qiu has always hoped to establish Sneijder as the core of the midfield and Ibrahimovic as the offensive core of the team's frontcourt. These two players echo each other and form the front and back core of Ajax.

In addition to Robben and Van der Vaart's support on the two wings, as well as the back-insertion attack in the midfield, these can greatly exert Ajax's offensive power in positional warfare. However, at present, whether it is the strength of the team or the strength of the players, although they are on the rise, they are not yet at the level of direct face-to-face competition with top teams such as Bayern Munich and Manchester United.

What's more terrible is that as Ajax's performance becomes more and more outstanding, those giants have gradually begun to reach into Ye Qiu's pocket to poach.

Sometimes, even Ye Qiu himself doesn't know how many of his main players will be left after this summer.
