Chapter 197: Send them a ride with your own hands

"We had a good start. This start once made us step into the finals of the Champions League with one foot. However, in the subsequent games, we performed better than our opponents... I have nothing to say. Juventus players performed very well, but their opponents performed better. What we have to do next is to strive to play the remaining leagues and lay a good foundation for next season." Ancelotti said expressionlessly at the post-match press conference. He really couldn't say anything. He still lost the game in this way. It can only be said that Juventus encountered a Manchester United, which was already hot.

"This is a moment I am proud of. The players performed so well. I think the first forty-five minutes were the best time I have ever experienced as a coach. We quickly returned to form. We deserved to enter the finals and this game reached the level we expected." Ferguson praised the Manchester United players after the game. The performance of the Manchester United players is indeed very picky. With the absence of a main player Giggs, Manchester United has proved that they have the ability to create glory this season. Next, they only need a little luck...

Manchester United, who returned to the UK, was welcomed by a large number of fans, and Manchester United's players became a hot spot in the eyes of reporters. As soon as they walked out of the Herod Airport in London, a group of reporters immediately rushed forward and began to interview Manchester United's players one by one.

"I have scored eight goals? I have never calculated this, because I didn't expect to score so many goals... Who is the first in the Champions League scorer list? How many have you scored?" When a reporter told Tiger that he is now ranked second in the Champions League scorer list, Tiger pretended to think for a while, and then replied.

"Shepchenko from Dynamo Kiev has already entered eleven." A reporter replied.

"So many, it seems that it's already difficult for me to win the best scorer, so let's go, let's settle for the second best, just use the Champions League champion to compensate." Tiger touched his chin, and then replied seriously.

The reporters burst into laughter, and they began to think that Tiger was a little cute. At least in the interview, he was still very cooperative - as long as his smart agent didn't come to make trouble...

"Will Keane and Scholes not be able to play have an impact on Manchester United's final?" Then a reporter asked a question that everyone was concerned about.

"There must be an impact, but I believe our head coach can solve this problem well." Tiger replied in a formulaic manner this time that no Manchester United player can interrupt the arrangement except Ferguson, although Tiger thinks it is a good choice to let himself return to the position of the attacking midfield.

"A day off, next we have to fight for the league." Ferguson only said this on the bus back to Manchester United.

After the excitement of entering the finals, Ferguson was about to start thinking about the finals. The absence of Keane and Scholes made Manchester United's midfielder no longer exist. The golden midfielder was second to the second, not to mention that with only two wings left, it was not just a slight reduction in strength by half.

Manchester United has no organizational core on the court. If they have a core of organizational offense, then it will only be Roy Keane - the Irishman's foot skills are not outstanding, but his ability to attack from the back and pass balls in the middle is second to none. Bart can make up for Keane's absence to a certain extent in defense, but he is much worse in controlling the midfield and organizing offense.

Manchester United's midfield needs someone who can hold the ball. Before Tiger comes, there is only Keane. Giggs has good skills, but he is a wing player. Beckham has average ball control ability on the spot, and Scholes is not good at this...

Now it seems that Tiger can only be put back to the midfield to organize, but this is easy to guess. What's more, a forward-playing forward scores almost every goal, and all players who score some key goals are put back to the midfield, which is a loss that no team can bear.

Ferguson now feels a little dilemma again. Before pushing Tiger to the front line, in addition to balancing the two attacking midfielders with different characteristics and excellent characteristics, Ferguson's idea is to make the competition more orderly - before, Tiger and Scholes compete for one position, now it becomes Tiger. Scholes and York Cole compete for three positions. Who knew that Tiger's performance after pushing the front line was so outstanding, with a higher goal rate than the main striker York. While firmly suppressing Cole on the front line, it also made the position of Manchester United's shadow forward the most stable link - now Scholes is suspended, Tiger cannot easily return to the position of attacking the midfield...

After thinking a little bit of a headache, Ferguson decided not to think about it for the time being - the final of the Champions League will be the last game of the season. Before this game, Manchester United still has seven games to play - six league games and one FA Cup. These seven games are related to the destination of the two champions, and it is indeed not the time to distract yourself from thinking about the Champions League.

Only by winning at least one of these two championships can Manchester United have a relaxed mentality enough to welcome the final of the Champions League!

Manchester United is now leading Arsenal with three-pointers and has a great advantage in goal difference. In other words, even if Manchester United wins one less game than Arsenal in the next game, they can still win the league championship - the advantage of these three-pointers must be grasped well!

Of course, Manchester United players who have been suffering hardships for a row will definitely suffer a great physical condition. At this point, it is better to Arsenal, who has been focusing on playing in the league. However, the most difficult time has passed. In the next month, both sides will play six league games. Ferguson will not be so stupid that he will distract players from now on in the finals of the FA Cup and Champions League. No matter how important the final is, it is just a game. There is no problem in preparing for the first few days of the game.

It is precisely for this consideration that although it was an important league against Leeds United four days later, Ferguson still gave the players a day off to relax, which was for the sake of the next game.

*********************************************

After the day of the show, Kelly Brooke returned to the hotel she stayed in a little tired. Although she is already well-known in the London modeling circle and can also refuse some unnecessary show, a model cannot never walk the show, not to mention that Kelly plans to enter the film and television industry, so of course she has to work harder.

At this time, she just wanted to take a hot shower and then have a comfortable sleep - but when the door of the room was opened, a man lying on the bed watching TV almost screamed, and then she immediately realized that this guy was not someone else, but Tiger...

"Are you here?" Kelly called out in surprise, and then realized that she seemed to be very angry with this guy, so she curled her lips and said with an angry look, "What are you here to do?"

Although he was talking about this, Kelly still closed the door with her backhand.

"Come and spend some time with my girlfriend. I finally had a holiday." Tiger jumped out of bed and said with a smile.

"Don't stay in Manchester to train? Training is your most important thing, what is my girlfriend?" Seeing Tiger running over and holding her shoulders, Kelly turned her body and continued to pretend to be angry, although she was very happy to see Tiger visit her...

"Don't say that, I'm here." Tiger said sincerely: "I'm really wrong during this period. I didn't take time to accompany you... After this season, we will go out for a good time. Of course, we have to let you have time when you have time."

Kelly was truly happy now and turned around to give her a passionate kiss: "That's the case... Dear, I miss you so much."

Seeing Kelly happy, Tiger took her waist and sat down with her, and started chatting about some idle chapters - some of the things Ross taught him were really useful, and there was something between men and women, so it might be a waste of time, but women liked this.

After chatting with Ross, Tiger also felt that he had tightened his strings too tight. Manchester United performed very well this season. As long as he worked hard, he would not have too many problems to win a championship. When focusing on competitions and training, he should also let the people around him enjoy it.

After a pleasant day with Kelly, Tiger felt that he was full of energy and the tiger could kill several of them. However, his teammates obviously had a little deterioration in form. Although Tiger relied on a supplementary shot in front of the goal to score for Manchester United's first record, Hasselbaink quickly equalized the score for Manchester United. In the end, Manchester United had no choice but to tie the opponent one-to-one. In another game, Arsenal swept Middlesbrough six-one, Canu and Anelka both scored twice, Vieira and Ovemas also scored one goal each, and the gap between Arsenal and Manchester United narrowed to one point!

After this round, the situation at Manchester United began to deteriorate again.

In the next league, Manchester United also stumbled - in the 34th round of the league, Manchester United beat Aston Villa 2-1, but in the 35th round, Manchester United was tied by Liverpool 2-2-*** away, while Arsenal won three consecutive victories in one go, overtaking Manchester United by one point!

The situation is beginning to become extremely serious for Manchester United.

In the last three rounds, Manchester United will play against Middlesbrough and Preston in the away game, and in the last round, against Tottenham Hotspur, while Arsenal will play against Tottenham and Leeds away, against Villa at home. As long as they can win a winning streak, they will be able to beat Manchester United to win the league championship!

"Mars United began to pay the price for them to go hand in hand on the three lines. They only scored five points in the last three rounds of the league, but Arsenal scored nine points, which instantly turned their three-point advantage into vanishing... Now Arsenal's goal difference has exceeded Manchester United's two. If Arsenal doesn't have any problems next, then they will beat Manchester United to win the league championship for two consecutive years. If the league championship is lost, it may also affect the match in the next two finals..."

In fact, without media comments, Manchester United also knew that at the most critical moment, the initiative of the league is no longer in their hands.

Under this situation, when Manchester United was forced into a desperate situation, they began to explode again.

Facing Middlesbrough, the only one who defeated himself at Old Trafford this season, the tired Manchester United played a perfect game in the 36th round of the league. They firmly controlled the midfield and did not give Middlesbrough any chance in the whole game. At the same time, in the frontcourt, Tiger assisted York to score the 18th league goal of the season. Manchester United beat Middlesbrough 1-0 and won a difficult victory!

In another game, Arsenal defeated his city rival Tottenham 3-1 away, continuing to maintain a point advantage over Manchester United.

In the 37th round of the league, Manchester United played against Preston away. Tiger returned home for the first time after transferring to Preston.

******************************************************

Moyes looked at the pile of information in front of him and sighed silently.

This season, Preston suffered a lot in the Premier League, and Moyes suffered a lot. However, his work was still effective. At the end of the first round of the season, Preston only won three games and ranked last. Under Moyes' command in the second half of the season, although their injuries were still very serious and several main players were injured in turn, Preston was still trying hard to grab points - eight wins, 12 draws and 16 losses. They won two more games than the first half of the season and draws three more games, which made them now ranked 18th with 36 points, leading Blackburn, who ranked 19th, and two points behind Southampton. Nottingham Forest, who is now at the bottom, is destined to be relegated, and Blackburn has no hope of relegation. What Preston has to do is to compete with Southampton to not be the last unlucky person...

The league against Manchester United is the last game of this round. Before this game, Southampton had lost the game, which means that as long as they beat Manchester United at home, they will be able to leave the relegation zone for the first time in six months!

However, it is obvious that Manchester United can't afford to lose or even draw in this game - Manchester United vs. Preston and Arsenal vs. Leeds were played at the same time. Aston Villa's performance in the second half of the season was much worse and there was no hope of entering the Champions League. The qualification for the League Cup has been secured, and it is difficult to have the motivation to block Arsenal again. Leeds still has a glimmer of hope of entering the Champions League, and they will be the best opponents to block Arsenal.

But Manchester United is now one point less than Arsenal. While expecting Leeds to block Arsenal, Manchester United also needs to defeat Preston so that they can overtake Arsenal!

Winning Preston is Manchester United's only way. Facing Manchester United, which is already in a desperate situation, it is probably a difficult thing for Preston to count on his opponents to show mercy.

Tiger, York, and Manchester United's forward partner have teamed up to score 34 goals in the league this season, almost half of Manchester United's goals. Can Preston block Manchester United's forward partner? The combined goals of Beckham, Scholes, Keane and Giggs are close to 30. With so many firepower points, how can Preston resist it!

Although Manchester United conceded a lot of goals, their defense is also top-notch. Can Preston's offense break through this defense?

The only thing Preston can rely on is that they have certain physical advantages. At the same time, 20,000 enthusiastic fans at home are also the strong backing of Preston!

All they can rely on is themselves.

It is already very good for Moyes to be able to achieve this level. More than half of the first-tier players are only at the League One or even the League Two. The main lineup is mainly veterans and often takes turns to get injured. There is still hope of relegation now. Without Moyes' command, it is impossible to do this. Unfortunately, it seems that it is Moyes' limit.

Let’s take a look at Blackburn, who was the Premier League champion a few seasons ago, and look at the two Champions League champions Nottingham Forest. They are now ranked lower than Preston, and their overall strength is definitely higher than Preston! Moyes proved that under his leadership, he is better than former Manchester United assistant coach Kidd...

Just as Moyes was worried about the next game, Tiger was also in trouble.

When transferring to Manchester United, Tiger did not expect that one day he might destroy Preston's hope of relegation. Although Preston was only two points behind Southampton, there was still hope in the last round, but in the last round, Preston's opponent was Xie Wednesday, and Southampton's opponent was Everton. These teams with successful relegation and no more ambitions were impossible to withstand it for too long. To be honest, if you didn't win this game, Preston could basically declare a relegation - unless Southampton loses to Everton in this situation...

Tiger didn't know how Preston fans would treat him. The last time he played against Preston was at Manchester United's home court. He could be regarded as not hearing the shouts of Preston fans. However, this time, he was going to the Pudell Stadium, and he had to face his own family and neighbors... Those are the people they watched themselves play football since they were young!

This taste is enough to make Tiger feel mixed.

"If you feel dilemma, I can't send you to this game." The day before the game started, Ferguson called Tiger and said to him.

Although Preston once defeated Manchester United last season, Ferguson was absolutely sure of the victory in this game - because the biggest factor in the upset is now Manchester United players.

"No, I want to play. If it is my departure that relegates Preston, then let me send them a ride with you. After all, a team like Preston will not have the ability to gain a foothold in the Premier League without a few years of polishing in the League One." Tiger said cold and ruthless words, but the pain in his eyes betrayed his heart.

Ferguson saw it but didn't say anything, just nodded: "You will start tomorrow's game." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to ***(***.***) to vote for recommendations. ***, your support is my greatest motivation.)
