Chapter 373 41 times the odds
Manchester United draws Wanderers in the Champions League (the previous chapter is written as Celtics), which also makes Manchester United fans very excited. In their opinion, Manchester United has already booked the Champions League quarter-finals in advance. English media have also speculated on the prospects of the four Premier League giants.
The Guardian believes that Manchester United should be able to reach the quarterfinals without any accidents, and no matter how they think about it, they can't think of the reason why Manchester United was eliminated by Wanderers. The Guardian believes that Manchester United has ushered in a turning point in the Champions League. Liverpool has basically no suspense in the match between Liverpool and Villarreal. This team that is good at cup games can definitely go further. Real Madrid has been relatively weak in the past two years, and Arsenal has a high probability of winning Real Madrid, but the prospects of Chelsea and Barcelona are not optimistic.
As the top two teams in the championship odds, Chelsea is still not optimistic. Although it ranks second, Barcelona has the last World Footballer Ronaldinho, the world's recognized strongest person...
Chelsea's odds were lowered from the previous 5.50 to 7.00, which shows that the bookmakers are not optimistic that they have passed the Barcelona showdown.
In the Guardian's view, at least three teams in the Premier League will enter the Champions League quarter-finals, but Chelsea is basically not included.
What just makes Manchester United fans depressed is that Manchester United's odds for winning the championship are 41.00, ranking fifth from the bottom among the 16 teams. Such odds mean that Spinach Company is not optimistic that Manchester United will come to the end, and they will be eliminated at some point.
But the odds do not mean that they are accurate. Manchester United has the most important thing to be a champion.
"The odds to win the championship are nonsense, wait and see."
"I dare to put Manchester United in 11th."
"What do they get the odds of 41 based on? Could it be that we are lower than Villarreal? Oh my God..."
However, Ferguson is not as indignant as Manchester United fans. The less optimistic the championship, the less pressure the Manchester United and him are on. Now that they have appeared in the group stage, it can be said that it has been the most tasks. At least that guy Glazer will not talk all day long. Perhaps Manchester United, who is lightly equipped, will achieve unexpected results?
Chelsea coach Mourinho angrily denounced the Champions League conspiracy theory when the lottery result came out.
"Some people don't want Chelsea to enter the quarterfinals."
"For two consecutive seasons, they have allowed Chelsea to meet their strongest opponents, and those things that cannot see the light are always filled with the surroundings."
"But Chelsea will not surrender, Chelsea can overcome all difficulties."
“…”
The European War has temporarily stopped, and no matter what, it will be decided until February next year. Now the Premier League semi-finals have put their minds back in the league.
Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool have four teams. Chelsea and Manchester United are in the first group to win the championship, and Arsenal and Liverpool are in the second group. In the next Christmas schedule, which team falls behind early will have to say goodbye to the league champion.
In fact, Arsenal and Liverpool basically have no hope. There is no difference between theoretical hope and no hope. They cannot rely on the Chelsea gutter capsized.
Only Manchester United can still have such hopes. The 4-point gap is not big, and the gap is less than two games, so Manchester United is more eager to continue to win and lose with Chelsea than last season.
Manchester United will face Everton at home next, and it is not worth losing. Moyes's team has been very difficult to chew in the past two years, and Manchester United may not be easy to play at home.
Manchester United successfully entered the quarterfinals in the Champions League in the middle of the week. Manchester United is in full swing. Apart from some flaws on the back line, the team's performance is quite perfect.
But Ferguson still has to consider the starting list.
Because Scholes and Giggs performed well in the Champions League, they were able to start, Scholes replaced Smith and Giggs replaced Rooney.
It is very surprising that Rooney did not enter the starting lineup, after all, Rooney performed very vigorously in the Champions League.
The only reason he doesn't make the starter is perhaps just because he can't play against Everton every time.
The biggest problem is in the defense line. After Ferdinand was injured, Ferguson reused Sylvester. With Brown injured, he had almost no choice.
There is also Pique in the team, but Ferguson still dared not put Pique in the starting lineup, which was too risky and could only continue to level up in the League Cup and FA Cup, or come on as a substitute, so Ferguson finally bit the bullet and let Sylvester go.
After Ferguson announced the starting list, the Manchester Evening News expressed concerns, "No Rooney, it's understandable. After all, Xiaopang always performed poorly when playing Evert. However, when continuing to use Sylvester, it felt that Sir Alex still put the time bomb next to him. Looking at his performance in recent games, with him on the court, it seems that Manchester United must be ready to concede the ball at any time..."
"Sir, you're buying a good central defender. This guy is really unreliable..."
Nowadays, it’s not that easy to buy central defenders. Ferguson also wants to do it, but recently he has been very close to another Frenchman, Evra.
French media has already revealed that Evra is likely to join Manchester United during the winter transfer period for £5.5 million.
However, for Manchester United, the left-back position is not short, and the central defender position needs to be solved. It would be fine if Ferdinand was not injured, but there is no reliable central defender addition now...
Everton is very low-key. Although Everton is now ranked sixth in the standings, coach Moyes said at a pre-match press conference: "Everton's goal this year is to relegate, and we are still far from the goal of relegation... Manchester United is very strong now, and it would be great if they can tie the game with them."
"I'm glad Rooney didn't play. He is a world-class player. In addition to him, China Dong and Cristiano Ronaldo are quite dangerous figures, not to mention that there are experienced veterans like Giggs and Scholes in their team..."
Moyes compliments Manchester United and wants to go out in a low-key manner. In fact, he has used the lineup with good results recently in this game, and the 442 formation has been used thoroughly by him.
Before the start of the match between Manchester United and Everton, Chelsea won again, with Chelsea defeating Wigan Athletics 1-0 at home. After helping the team defeat Middlesbrough with the victory in the last round, Blues captain Terry contributed key goals again in this game. Chelsea has not conceded goals in the last six official games and has won four consecutive league wins, achieving 11 consecutive home wins at Stamford Bridge.
Manchester United must win Everton at home, and there is no way out...
