Chapter 38 Who called them the second in the group?

Although the schedule is intensive, Manchester United, who returned to Manchester, held a small dinner to celebrate the team's harvest this year.

The FA Cup, League Champions, European Champions League, European Super Cup, Community Shield Cup, Club World Cup, and six trophys, they did not win the League Cup championship. If they win the League Cup, they would be the seven-champion championship of the year. Of course, because there was no Dong Fangzhuo in the first half of the year, the team was not fighting enough, so they were lost. If Dong Fangzhuo was there, they might not be able to win it. Therefore, Dong Fangzhuo put forward a slogan this season to help the team win the seven-champion championship...

This is also the most successful year in Manchester United's history. Manchester United executives and meritorious players also attended the dinner. Local players such as Rashford, Lingard, Ashley Young, Luke Shaw sat together, while young generations such as Januzai, Brinde, Martial, and Mbappe sat together, which looked very layered.

Ferguson spoke at the dinner, thanking the players and staff for their efforts this year, and then pointed out the importance of the Christmas schedule.

"The toughest two weeks are coming, and every year we can beat our opponents at this time."

"The best Christmas gift this year is undoubtedly the best gift to Manchester United fans by defeating Chelsea."

“Now is the end and the beginning.”

"We must fight forever and never stop!"

Dong Fangzhuo later made a speech, and this guy's speech was different from the Ferguson version.

He seems to be telling a story.

“I’m glad I had a great time 2015 with everyone, and I hope that 2016 will be the same.”

“In our country, there is a very famous post.”

"What do they say is the Manchester United spirit."

"It probably means this. I share it with you. I want to tell you that we may encounter many difficulties in the future, but these difficulties will eventually be conquered by us."

Then, Dong Fangzhuo sang out a post published by a fan like he was reciting a poem.

"You can lead Manchester United in half, or 1 goal, the latter two goals, or 3 goals."

"You might see a very bad team, in the first half."

"You might think that Manchester United and many teams such as Arsenal have lost their grip after experiencing a very good record."

"You may think that fatigue and mental fatigue, injuries, and even team personnel issues will drag down Manchester United's pace."

"But, the second half..."

"Manchester United will recover, no matter how many goals they are behind."

"Manchester United will become a team, whether it is Cantona, Beckham, or Ronaldo. In short, Manchester United will become a frightening team for a moment!"

"Manchester United will show fatigue, but don't think that Manchester United will collapse like this! Just one opportunity, you will be amazed at the greatness of Manchester United!"

"Manchester United is not afraid of all difficulties, whether it is passionate or chic! Manchester United will show his magic!"

"The spirit of Manchester United does not depend on the player's departure or joining, nor does any player represent the entire spirit of Manchester United. Cantona, Ronaldo, Dong Fangzhuo..."

Finally, he brought himself with him...

Thunderous applause lasted for a long time.

"This is Manchester United's captain."

"God, that's a good word."

Ferguson, who was originally sitting on the chair, stood up and applauded Dong Fangzhuo. Another year, in Manchester United's coaching position day after day, Ferguson found that there were only three things that remained unchanged, his coaching position, Manchester United's victory, and Dong Fangzhuo's strength...

He picked up the wine glass.

"Respect the spirit of Manchester United."

"Respect the spirit of Manchester United."

...

※※※※

On Sunday, Manchester United completed the last home game of the Champions League group stage at home, easily defeating Wolfsburg 2-0, and advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals as the first in the group.

Ferguson rushed to UEFA headquarters Nyon, Switzerland.

The quarterfinals this year are not much different from previous years: Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Wolfsburg, Ghent, St. Petersburg Zenit, Benfica, Eindhoven, European Code, and Dynamo Kiev.

The only highlight is, who will encounter Barcelona, ​​who is the first to qualify in the group, who unexpectedly wins second place in the group...

Of course, the second-place team in the group is unwilling to meet Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City too early. These three teams have the three strongest players now. If you meet them, you will most likely be eliminated...

"We are not afraid of them." The Barcelona coach was very confident when talking about the three Premier League teams. "If you want to win the championship, you have to defeat any opponent."

"On the contrary, if you defeat them early, it will bring us great confidence and we can move forward bravely to the end."

Real Madrid coach Zidane's idea is the opposite of Barcelona coach.

"We are the first in the group. Fortunately, we won't meet for the time being. The later the better. The team's condition needs to be adjusted. Now is not the time to meet..."

Real Madrid vs. Roma, Manchester City vs. Dynamo Kiev, Atletico Madrid vs. Eindhoven, Benfica vs. St. Petersburg Zenit, Wolfsburg vs. Ghent, Chelsea vs. Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern vs. Juventus...

And Manchester United plays Barcelona...

The Barcelona coach wants to hit the wall, but he brags so much, but he ends up meeting the defending champion Manchester United. It’s not that enemies don’t get together, who told them to look forward to it so much?

World Sports Daily lamented why it was Manchester United again at the first time at the end of the draw? Manchester United is not scary, what is scary is Chinese Dong. Now that there is no Messi, can Barcelona rely on Neymar and others?

"Marca" gloated that Barcelona's wish came true. Before the game, their coach kept praying to draw Manchester United, but unfortunately hit the mark. Eight opponents, but even if they didn't draw Manchester United, they still have a high probability of drawing Chelsea and Manchester City. The results are almost the same. Who said they are the second in the group?

The English media is also very happy.

"Daily Mail": This is the most tragic Barcelona. In front of the top three in the UK, they finally drew the strongest Manchester United, and they could die...

Sixteen to eight, except Manchester United vs Barcelona, ​​Juventus vs Bayern is also a heavyweight confrontation, and other matches are relatively disparate. Perhaps only after this round will we usher in a real peak duel.
Chapter completed!
