Ferguson did not roar at the press conference, which was a surprise. The loss was not good for any coach, especially the loss of the most important player.

1:4 is definitely the worst result for Manchester United. Fiorentina beat Bordeaux and scored 7 points, while Manchester United lost to Leverkusen, and the points were still 4 points. Leverkusen has already scored 10 points and advanced to the knockout stage in advance! And it is the first team to advance!

Even if Manchester United wins two consecutive games and scores 10 points, he will not be able to run ahead of Leverkusen, so Leverkusen will definitely advance.

However, Manchester United still has the hope of advancing to the knockout stage. As long as Manchester United beat Fiorentina at home and Bordeaux away, they have the hope of winning second in the group.

Ferguson still praised Leverkusen for losing so hard.

"We did lose in this game today without any excuses. We were already very prepared. Before the game, we knew the game would be difficult. We knew the game was not easy to play, but after the game started, it was beyond my expectations. Each player in Leverkusen was in great shape. I thought it could be restricted. In fact, I thought that I thought so at the beginning of the game, but he quickly adapted to the game. Dennis actually did a good job, but later he was no longer controlled by him. The reason why Leverkusen's team is so strong is not because of the strength of one person, but the strength of the whole. Later, everyone knew about it, Zheng Zhi stood up again."

"I knew he was going to make trouble."

"But we can't stop it."

"The score of 1:4 is a bit exaggerated. We can score more goals, but I don't think we can win here. Leverkusen's victory is well deserved, and I must congratulate them."

"Leverkusen is very similar to Manchester United in recent years, and is also a bit like Ajax in 1995. He is one of the strongest opponents in Europe in the future. I am optimistic that they have achieved good results in the Champions League. Now, they have advanced to the quarterfinals, and Manchester United still want to continue fighting."

Then, Ferguson changed his mind and turned to Florence.

"I think their strength can win even if they play Fiorentina away. If they lose, I find it incredible."

In a casual conversation, Ferguson played a psychological battle. Of course, he didn't want to see Leverkusen be defeated by Fiorentina away because it meant that Manchester United would be eliminated and said goodbye to the Champions League. The champion of the last Cup could not even make the knockout round? This was too painful.

"Kean was unfortunate for his injury. After the game, the young man came to the locker room to apologize, which is very good. I believe he did not mean it. This is respect for Manchester United and Keane. There are always surprises in the game, and I don't say much. I hope Kean can defeat the disease as soon as possible. Returning to the game, he is the flag of Manchester United, and we always need our captain."

No matter how bitter it is, it must be swallowed into his stomach. Although he knows that Professor Wenger is already hiding in the corner and laughing, he does not want to show his madness of losing Keane.

"But I want to emphasize one thing, because Zheng Zhi and the others came to the locker room, I look up to them more, which shows that they have great qualities!"

"Sir, this failure is due to Zheng Zhi? Will you continue to work hard to bring him to Old Trafford this summer?"

Ferguson finally smiled bitterly, "Of course, we will not give up on our pursuit of him."

"In addition, the Brazilian is also good. He is also very suitable for Manchester United's system."

He pointed the names of Zheng Zhi and Ronaldinho in one breath. This time Barack is no longer on the list...

...

...

Then Waller and Zheng Zhi walked into the press conference together. Waller had just taken a shower and changed into a suit, and now he looked very refreshed.

Today is a good day for him and it is worth remembering. In the locker room, he has called his wife and is preparing to celebrate with his wife with red wine tonight.

Advance to the Champions League quarterfinals.

Two years ago, Dom only led Leverkusen to the quarterfinals, and he did this year. As the young coach who took charge of the club for the first time, he has achieved great success, and it seems that he is very likely to win the Bundesliga championship this season.

At least this season, failure can no longer be used to describe him. The Champions League achieved the expected results and the league continued to lead until the end, which was what he needed to do for the rest of the time.

"Rudy, congratulations, the team became the first team to advance to the Champions League knockout stage."

Waller couldn't hide his excitement and said flutteringly.

“It was a really great day, unparalleled.”

“I’m proud of my players.”

"Promoting to the knockout stage means we have taken another big step forward, and the next thing we have to do is to advance to the semi-finals."

He also did not hide his ambitions. Since he was in the quarterfinals, he naturally had to focus on the quarterfinals. Even Dynamo Kiev could do it last year, but couldn't Leverkusen?

Leverkusen is now ranked second in Europe!

Who dares to say that he will definitely win Leverkusen?

He even looked forward to the final...

Of course, such dreams cannot be expressed casually, otherwise they may be ridiculed.

"Ferguson said you're very much like Manchester United and Ajax back then. What do you think?"

"Of course, we are very competitive now, with extraordinary players, and everyone has shown talent. We are on their path back then, but we have not won anything yet. It is too early to say that, and everything will only be known at the end of the season."

He still restrained himself, not yet betrayed by the victory in front of him...

Leverkusen has been a big hit in recent years, and in the end he lost to Bayern. Now he doesn't dare to say anything to death.

"Ferguson said you players have great qualities. Zheng Zhi and Ribery went to Manchester United's locker room just now. What do you think?"

"Yes, they went. I feel very sorry for Keane's injury. I wish him a recovery soon. We have to confront each other in the game. I must praise the Manchester United players, they were friendly and there was no unpleasantness. Now that everything is over, I believe that Manchester United will eventually appear from the group stage."

"Zheng, why did you think of accompanying Ribery to the away locker room?"

The reporter extended the microphone to Zheng Zhi.

"Because Ribery did foul, causing harm to Keane, Ribery and I both felt that we should apologize in time, which is what we should do."

"Although accidents are inevitable on the court, there is life besides football."

"That wasn't what you said when you beat Jansen and Lehman before?"

“The nature is different.”

"Isn't it?" Zheng Zhi asked back.

In the past, Jansen and Lehman deserved a beating, but Keane was not in this game. Of course, the nature is different.

"Lyman has missed two matches with you. Do you think he is afraid to meet you?"

“This is impossible.”

“He is a professional player.”

"Ferguson just said he would continue to poach you in the summer. What do you think?"

"hehe,"

"He is not the only one who wants to dig me."

confidence.

"The Lord said you can beat Fiorentina away. He hopes you will play the spirit of fair play, do you think?"

"If I were on the court, I would, and I believe my teammates are the same."

if……

I wonder if Ferguson and Manchester United fans will feel frustrated after hearing Zheng Zhi’s answer.

...

After the fourth round of the second phase of the Champions League, Leverkusen became the first team to advance to the knockout stage. They won three wins and one draw and advanced with 10 points, and an unbeaten record. Unexpectedly, another Bundesliga team also qualified two rounds ahead of schedule. Although Bayern Munich's management was in a panic, the team continued to beat all sides in the Champions League. Their results were better than Leverkusen and they won all four games!

Another team that entered the knockout round early was Lazio of Serie A. Other European teams failed to appear two rounds in advance and had to fight to the death in the last two rounds.

The European football media focused on Germany in the middle of this week. The performances of Leverkusen and Bayern Munich were really eye-catching, especially Leverkusen. After this battle with Manchester United, Leverkusen's Champions League odds soared to fourth place.

Only behind Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern. Manchester United, which was ranked fourth, was squeezed to sixth place, and the Italian powerhouse Lazio ranked fifth.

This shows that Leverkusen has fully demonstrated their strength in Europe. They have the strength to win the championship!

Although Real Madrid and Barcelona still did not advance, Spain's "As" has set its sights on Leverkusen and Bayern Munich - both Premier League and Serie A teams have lost to them one after another, and the Spanish team's opponent is definitely a double Bundesliga, but Real Madrid lost to Bayern Munich with 2:4 and 1:4 in the group stage, which has given us a huge blow.

"Marca" believes that since Real Madrid has lost to Bayern Munich, is there really a chance of winning against Leverkusen if Real Madrid plays against Leverkusen?

In Italy, "Milan Sports" is cheering for Fiorentina - Trapatney can breathe a sigh of relief. Leverkusen's defeat of Manchester United means that Fiorentina only needs to get one point in the last two games to advance to the knockout stage. Next, in the home game against Leverkusen, Leverkusen will never send all the main players to the stage, and Fiorentina will at least not lose!

The same thing happened to Rome’s Sport: 99% of Fiorentina have advanced to the knockout stage! Although Serie A is not strong enough in Europe this season, two teams still retain their presence.

In England, this is a slander and a slap in bad mood.

Liverpool's local media Daily Telegraph - Champions League champion? Haha, teams without the UEFA Champions League genes go to Europe, they are nothing. Manchester United is cold, cold, completely cold.

Manchester United is Liverpool's stalemate. Of course, they hope that Manchester United will gain nothing, especially when Liverpool cannot stand strong at home now, they hope that Manchester United will be a little more miserable. They will not support Manchester United from the standpoint of England.

bbc: The Lord Sir had suffered a Waterloo, Manchester United is about to bid farewell to this season's Champions League, and it is not scary to be four points behind Fiorentina. What's scary is that Leverkusen has already qualified and cannot think of a reason why Leverkusen will not lose to Fiorentina away. Although Ferguson reminded Leverkusen at a post-match press conference to let them have the spirit of fair play, who knows...

The Manchester Evening News has been blasting the young Ribery. If it weren't for the unknown Ribery that injured Keane, Manchester United would have been able to score three goals in a row with ten minutes left!

Perhaps, in this world, only local media and fans of Manchester United believe that Manchester United can do this?

The Times objectively analyzed the future of Manchester United and believed that there was little hope for Manchester United to appear - before Manchester United wanted to defeat Fiorentina at home, they first had to expect Leverkusen to draw Fiorentina at least away, but will Fiorentina, who has made great contributions, lose points at home? Facing a team that has advanced to Leverkusen? Keane is absent for at least two months in the future, and Manchester United's path in the league is not easy, unless Bart performs well and replaces Keane. Wenger's team opportunity comes again, and they have a chance to continue to wrestle with Manchester United. It is still unknown who will win...

German media are also very excited. "Kicker" analyzed the Champions League prospects of Leverkusen and Bayern Munich.

First of all, Bayern Munich - If Bayern Munich never meets Leverkusen in the knockout stage, then Bayern Munich has a great chance of washing out last year's humiliation. Apart from Leverkusen, I believe no team can stop them from moving forward. Just ask Real Madrid, what are they beaten by Bayern Munich?

And for Leverkusen? The Kickers gave a higher evaluation - except for their own defeats, injuries and experience, I really couldn't imagine which team could defeat them, Manchester United, Lazio, Fiorentina and Bayern Munich were unbearable. Can Barcelona and Real Madrid be? As Sir Ferguson said, they are really like Manchester United and the Ajax youth team that year.

The report of Biography is even more exaggerated. They directly posted a picture of Kirsten holding the championship trophy, and Ronaldinho and Zheng Zhi were standing beside Kirsten. Behind him were the team flags of several clubs, and he was nakedly optimistic that Leverkusen could win the best Champions League championship.

The Frankfurter Report said bluntly that if Leverkusen reaches the end, Zheng Zhi is definitely qualified to win this year's Golden Globe Award! Unless any players perform extremely well in the European Cup?

Yes, there was the European Cup in 2000, and the European Cup was the accident. In the absence of major competitions, the proportion of the Champions League is very large, but if there are international competitions, the Golden Globe Awards may be produced in the European Cup champion team...
