Reborn Almighty Life

In the 19th round of the Premier League, half of the Premier League season is over, and the championship lineup has emerged.

In the history of the Premier League, the probability of the half-time champion eventually winning the championship is not low, reaching 60%, but there have also been many shocking comebacks.

Manchester United, who are best at winning the championship after taking a half-way lead, are also good at coming from behind to complete major comebacks. They stole the trophy from the half-time champions as a laggard a total of 7 times.

In the 1992-1993 season, the first year of the Premier League, Manchester United overtook half-time champions Norwich City to win the championship. At that time, the competition system was still 42 rounds. The Canaries unexpectedly won first place at half-time with 40 points, but the Red Devils, who were third at half-time, made a strong effort later in the season.

.

The most famous reversal in the second half of the Premier League is also related to Manchester United. In the 1995-96 season, the Premier League was reorganized into 20 teams. Newcastle led Manchester United by 12 points and became the half-time champion. However, at the end of the season, Manchester United led the Magpies by 4 points, which was also the largest points in the Premier League.

The team reversed a deficit and won the championship. At that time, Newcastle United's head coach, England football legend Keegan, was disrupted by Ferguson's psychological offensive and almost drove him crazy.

Ferguson used a large number of young people such as Scholes, the Neville brothers and Beckham. In the first round of the season, they lost 1-3 to Aston Villa and were passive throughout the game.

In the "Match Day" program on the weekend after the loss, guest Alan Hansen said the phrase that was ridiculed for a long time in the future, "You can never win a championship with a bunch of kids."

"Match Day" was the most watched program in England at the time, and he was humiliated by Liverpool's famous star. Ferguson had been holding his breath since the beginning of the season.

Newcastle's lineup at that time was in full swing, from Ginola, Gillespie to Les Ferdinand, plus Batty and Asprilla who later joined, it could be said to be the Hollywood of the Premier League. In the first two months of the league, they only lost

With 4 points, just after Christmas, they were already 12 points ahead of Ferguson's youth team, and the crown was within easy reach.

After the New Year, Manchester United began to exert strength with Cantona's comeback, especially in the away game against Newcastle. They were lucky to win a small victory with the French King's goal when the whole game was passively beaten. This completely made Keegan's mentality completely

Imbalance. Just when the two teams were neck and neck in the standings, Sir Alex Ferguson showed his trump card and became the last straw to overwhelm Keegan.

First, he insinuated Keegan in front of newspaper reporters that he was a "second-rate coach" and that it would take several years to win the championship. Then after defeating Leeds United in the key game of the season, he encouraged his opponents to show off their ability to compete with Manchester United in every game.

, the opponent is already the champion, and Leeds United’s next opponent is Newcastle.

After Ferguson's interview, Keegan finally released himself in front of the Sky TV cameras. With red eyes, he stretched out his right index finger to gesture, and with spittle flying around, he roared angrily: "I just want to knock them down (

Manchester United), I would love it if we beat them. love it!

"Love

"It!" Does this sentence sound familiar? It is very similar to the later McDonald's advertising slogan. The Chinese slogan is called: I just like it! Literally, this is not serious. But Britain is a country of gentlemen after all, Manchester City's Richards

I once got too excited about winning in front of the camera.

Dong said something about "F*ck" and was criticized by the whole country. As a veteran coach, it is naturally impossible to curse, but being able to say something like "wanting to beat the opponent" in front of veteran commentator Andy Gray is no different from swearing.

, Keegan has been the only one in the past 20 years.

Such a rude response indirectly led to their improper tactics in the last two rounds. They failed to win Nottingham Forest and Tottenham, and finally lost to Manchester United by 4 points. Think about it at the beginning of the season, they were as high-spirited as Liangshan heroes, and in the end the spring and autumn dream turned into a dream.

pillow

Huang Liang can't help but make people sigh. This psychological war served as a turning point and later created Ferguson's Manchester United dynasty. Keegan gave up the Newcastle warship he had worked hard to build for 6 years and resigned voluntarily the following year. Since then, the Magpies have been in a state of decline.

There has been no Keegan since the Premier League, and even Mourinho has never accomplished such a classic psychological battle. When Ferguson postponed his decision to retire, Keegan once said: "Everyone is unhappy now, only he (Ferguson) is happy

, because he still has a chance for revenge." Unfortunately, the character coach and good old guy Keegan never got his chance again.

The various interesting things that happened that season have become memories that are talked about in the history of the Premier League and made Newcastle and Keegan extremely unhappy. It is precisely because of this that Manchester United and Newcastle United have a rift.

Sparks fly every time they meet. This season, Newcastle United was beaten hard by Manchester United in the away game, becoming the first opponent Gu Fei lost in his football career, which added to the grievances between the two sides.

…………

At present, Manchester United has locked in the half-time championship three rounds in advance. The huge advantage allows Manchester United to deal with the half-time championship with a relaxed attitude. Especially with Ferguson, who has rich experience in winning championships, leading the team, Manchester United's players have a backbone.

It was an away game against Aston Villa. More than 5,000 Manchester United fans accompanied the team. Villa officials were very generous and allocated tickets to all Manchester United fans.

Of course, this is not because the Villa club is being generous, but because the ticket price offered by Manchester United fans is 10 pounds higher than the average ticket price for Villa fans. Five thousand tickets means 50,000 pounds.

Villa, who were once rich in their ancestors, have gone from bad to worse since the establishment of the Premier League. They have been in the middle and lower ranks of the Premier League all year round, and have been faced with relegation crises from time to time.

Although Birmingham is the third largest city in England, as the world's manufacturing center gradually shifts to China, traditional industrial cities like Birmingham have suffered a huge impact, with economic depression and a large increase in unemployment. Against this background, Birmingham has already

Without a strong financial group to support Villa, in the Premier League era where money is king, Villa's loneliness is inevitable.

If it weren't for the fear of being criticized, the Villa club would even want to contact the Manchester United fans association to sell more tickets to Manchester United fans in order to earn more revenue.

Because, facing the invincible Manchester United, both the team and the fan base do not have much hope. Many fans are not even willing to see the team being massacred by Manchester United at home and chose not to come to Villa Park.

Watch the game at the stadium.

…………

When Ferguson led Manchester United to the Villa Park stadium, the bright blood-colored flags on the sidelines and the high-decibel Manchester United anthem made it seem like Manchester United's home stadium. Ferguson was very satisfied with this. Although Manchester United is the most hostile in England

team, but if money opens the way, there will still be teams willing to open the door for Manchester United.

Throughout the game, Manchester United, which had used all its main players, did not give Aston Villa any chance. The frontcourt attack group composed of Gu Fei, Rooney, Ibrahimovic, Ronaldinho and Wang Laoji smashed Villa's defense into a sieve, leaving it in tatters.

hole.

With a score of 4:0, Manchester United perfectly ended the half of the 2006-07 season with an easy victory. The record of 18 wins and 1 draw also set a new record in the Premier League!
