The bookmaker immediately updated the odds for the Champions League championship in the 0607 season.

1 Barcelona 5.00

2 Chelsea 5.50

3ac Milan 9.00

4 Manchester United 11.00

5 Real Madrid 12.00

6 Inter Milan 13.00

7 Arsenal 15.00

8 Lyon 17.00

9 Liverpool 17.00

9 Bayern 17.00

Barcelona has been the team with the best call for championships for three consecutive years, with Chelsea ranking second and AC Milan ranking third, and this has been the case in the last three seasons.

Manchester United rose to fourth place due to their amazing performance last season, but the odds of 11.00 mean that they are not favored. Other traditional strong teams such as Bayern, Liverpool, Real Madrid, etc. are also not favored.

In recent years, it seems that Barcelona, ​​Chelsea and Milan are the world.

"It's in the same group with Barcelona, ​​Bremen and Sofialevski. This is a group of death. Three teams compete for two places. Manchester United must not lose points on Sofialevski, and be as calm as possible in the confrontation between the two strongholds. Even a draw is likely to decide whether to qualify."

Manchester Evening News analyzed the Champions League grouping at the first time, "Barcelona's strength is unquestionable, but Bremen's strength cannot be underestimated. Bremen is now known as the team with the strongest attack power in the Bundesliga, with half of the German internationals in the team. This team is Manchester United's biggest rival."

There are only two qualifying places in the Champions League group stage, and it is obvious that Manchester United has drawn one team to draw.

However, Ferguson returned to China and said in an interview with The Times: "If you want to win the final championship, you must kill any opponent, and it will be the same when you meet anyone, just like we are now in the same group as Barcelona and Bremen, and I don't think Sofialevski is a weak team, and there will never be a weak team in the Champions League."

"I think we should focus now on the league, and Manchester United needs to win Watford away and strive for three consecutive league wins."

The two big wins in the new season made Spinach Company believe that Manchester United will win Watford away. Although Watford is in good shape, in the face of the strong Manchester United, no one believes that the newly promoted Watford can escape at home.

Ferguson did not underestimate the enemy, but made adjustments on each line. On the back line, Pique got the opportunity to start, Ferdinand got a rest, and Evra was also replaced by Richardson.

In the midfield, Scholes and Giggs were replaced by Fletcher and Park Jisung.

There is no change in the front line.

In 14 league matches between the two sides, Manchester United has the upper hand in 8 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses. Goalkeeper Foster, who came on loan from Manchester United, was unable to play due to terms and conditions.

The newly promoted team performed active after the opening. In just one minute of the game, Ashley Young made a cross from the right, but Francis missed the opportunity when he was offside when he was out of defense. In the 7th minute, Ashley Young passed the ball, and Henderson scored a 25-yard shot outside the ball was confiscated by Van der Sar.

After several impacts after reaching Watford, Manchester United gradually began to control the game. In the 10th minute, Modric took a corner kick from the right, and C. Ronaldo headed the ball from 6 yards from the far point and missed the far corner.

However, after Watford took the baseline ball, Modric interrupted the ball in the middle and handed it to Rooney. Rooney immediately passed it to the right side of the penalty area. Although Watford's attempt to defend Dong Fangzhuo closely, Dong Fangzhuo still rushed to the front of the ball and shot low with his left foot from the far corner at 14 yards!

Dong Fangzhuo once again became a bottle opener. This is his fourth goal this season, 4 goals in 3 rounds, which is similar to last season. He is in good shape.

Ferguson applauded lightly off the court, his face very calm, as if he had been used to such a plot - other players sent the ball to the penalty area, and Dong Fangzhuo ran out of the position to score. The goal was not beautiful, it would always be a blow from Feng Qingyun, and then Manchester United took the lead.

After leading, Manchester United started playing smoothly again. Although Scholes, Giggs and Carrick were not on the court, Modric had a lot of running space, covering almost the entire court, frontcourt, midfield and backcourt, and he was everywhere.

Park Ji-sung is no longer surprised. This guy who has brought a huge impact on him is much better than himself. When he sent the ball to his feet, he only felt stable in his heart. It is rare that he can just play on the left side in peace.

In the 27th minute, Modric took a corner kick from the right. Dong Fangzhuo headed the ball at a very small angle in the front point. Watford goalkeeper Richard Li responded quickly and saved the ball from the closest corner. He hoped to clear the ball quickly.

In front of Dong Fangzhuo, Watford's two central defenders were like rookies and could not stop Dong Fangzhuo at all.

I thought Manchester United started the massacre mode, but Watford equalized the score in the 34th minute. Ashley Young broke through Modric's cross on the right, and Pique and Vidic failed to intercept the ball. Francis, who was unguarded in the middle, easily pushed the ball from the front of the 5 yards.

Ferguson finally shook his head. When Ashley Young broke through Modric, Modric was almost walking, and the guy was barely involved in the defense.

This is what Ferguson is not satisfied with.

Of course, Park Ji-sung has a responsibility, because he is also on that side.

But that Ashley Young was really good... Ferguson had Ashley Young's idea at that moment.

The final score was 1:1 and half-time, then Ferguson replaced Carrick and Scholes in succession, and Manchester United's offensive storm came again.

In the 47th minute, Carrick passed directly to the right, Ronaldo easily got the ball and made a cross. Dong Fangzhuo jumped up from 12 yards in the middle and headed the ball and was saved by the goalkeeper. Modric took a corner kick, Dong Fangzhuo and Vidic attracted most of Watford's defense in the middle. As a result, Park Ji-sung, who was unguarded at 3 yards from the distance, did not choose to shoot directly, and his cross pass was missed by Hitu and Francis. Carrick seized the opportunity to push the empty goal into the net.

After Modric made a contribution in the last round, another Manchester United midfielder Carrick also scored.

2:1.

Five minutes later, Ronaldo broke out on the right, dribbling the ball and knocked out two players on Watford's left, and then crossed across the middle at the edge of the penalty area. Rooney followed up and pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal. Although the Watford goalkeeper saved the ball, Park Ji-sung still rushed to fill the ball into the goal before the opponent cleared the ball.

3:1.

In the end, Manchester United won three consecutive league wins with a 3-1 away game.

At the first time at the end of the game, Manchester United received good news again.

Chelsea lost to Middlesbrough 1-2 away, Shevchenko scored his first league goal, but Pogatez equalized the score in the 80th minute, and Viduka scored a goal overtake in the 90th minute.

"Chelsea lost!"

This is the happiest news that Manchester United fans have heard in more than two years!

An accident, definitely an accident...
Chapter completed!
