Reborn Almighty Life

After the Chinese New Year, the Champions League atmosphere in Manchester and even in European football is gradually getting stronger. Advertisements about the Champions League can be seen everywhere on the streets, and the trailers for the Champions League knockout rounds on TV are overwhelming.

After entering February, the Champions League knockout rounds have become the hottest topic in Europe. People will talk about it after dinner. There are very few Europeans who don't care about football.

Leaders of many European countries often use football as a hub to train their people, often showing their fan status to the outside world to gain recognition from their own people.

Of course, these heads of state often unequivocally support their national teams, and they treat professional clubs equally without distinction.

For example, this time when English Prime Minister Blair was interviewed by the media, he hoped that the four Premier League teams participating in the Champions League knockout rounds could defeat their respective opponents and go one step further.

However, it is generally known that the Prime Minister is a loyal fan of Manchester United, and his family was a loyal supporter of the Red Devils a hundred years ago.

As the Champions League match day on February 21 approaches, the whole of Manchester becomes agitated. Many Red Devils fans are gearing up to prepare for an expedition to France to cheer for the team.

The relationship between France and England is not as good as expected, and English football hooligans are notorious. French officials have very strict requirements for English fans entering the country.

At the same time, UEFA only gives Manchester United 10,000 tickets, and stipulates that only fans with tickets can enter France, which is quite strict.

In this regard, Manchester United officially lodged a protest with UEFA. Although it may not be useful this time, it may come in handy next time.

With the war approaching, Ferguson rarely appeared in the media and led the team to conduct closed training. The old man was determined to win this year's Champions League.

In the past 10 years of the Champions League, Manchester United has won one championship, two semi-finals, and four top 8s. However, in the past three years, Manchester United has failed to reach the top 16 in a row. Last year, it even failed in the group stage. Sir Alex Ferguson regarded it as a great shame!

This season, Manchester United has a strong team and a clear advantage in the domestic league. Sir Alex Ferguson will naturally focus more on the Champions League and prepare to win the Champions League again!

As a European giant, Manchester United has only won the Champions League twice in its history. In England, it cannot even surpass Nottingham Forest, which is already struggling in the lower leagues, let alone Liverpool, which has won the Champions League five times.

Ferguson's ambition as Manchester United coach is to lead Manchester United to surpass Liverpool in an all-round way and pull Liverpool off the damn throne. Today, Manchester United has won 16 English top league championships, and the 17th is also within easy reach, 18 away from Liverpool.

The trophy is not far away; but Manchester United's two Champions League trophies are really out of reach!

Manchester United has a long way to go if it wants to surpass Real Madrid and become the best club in the world!

Ferguson, who was born in 1941, is 66 years old. His heart is equipped with a nuclear-powered pacemaker. It is not known how long he can continue to sit as Manchester United coach?

In recent years, Manchester United has taken some detours, and Ferguson is also feeling pressed for time. Manchester United is in good shape this year, and he naturally hopes that the team will win a Grand Slam!

…………

On February 19, Manchester United fans will turn out in large numbers. They will take different modes of transportation to Lens to watch the UEFA Champions League knockout match between Manchester United and Lille.

Manchester United has dispatched and hired a large number of coordinators to help fans coordinate bus and air tickets, and will even set up a liaison station in Lens to provide more help to fans.

Gu Fei and everyone at Manchester United know that fans are the foundation for the club's development. How to better serve the fans has become a topic that the club needs to study in depth.

After Gu Fei took over Manchester United, he emphasized that the business development and fan departments need to put down their posture and listen to the voices of the fans in order to do a good job.

Manchester United fans are shocked to find that the ticket prices at Old Trafford are still high, but the prices of goods in the fan supplies store are decreasing and the varieties are increasing to meet the needs of different fans. In addition, whether the Manchester United club is at home or at the

In away games, he will try his best to help the fans, which greatly increases his reputation.

Gu Fei, who was born in socialism, does not believe in the capitalist concept of money. He believes more in 'people-oriented' and emphasizes that fans are the core of the club! In order for fans to support the club, in addition to the team's outstanding performance on the field,

In addition, we should treat the fans as our own people, not as leeks to be harvested.

Manchester United's dispatch of coordinators to help fans travel to away games has been widely publicized by the media this season, and has also inspired many European clubs to follow suit. It does not cost much, but the results are excellent.

…………

This season, because the stadium does not meet the requirements of UEFA, Lille's Champions League games can only be played at the Stade Borralt in Lens. For the Lille people, participating in the Champions League at the stadium of their rivals in the same city,

It is undoubtedly a shame.

However, Lille performed well in the Champions League this season, beating AEK Athens and Anderlecht, and qualifying with AC Milan. However, the opponent he encountered in the quarter-finals was unbeatable this season.

Manchester United, the outside world almost overwhelmingly supports Manchester United.

In this regard, Lille head coach Ball is not convinced. He believes that the team that has maintained an undefeated record of 9 games at home has the confidence to resist Manchester United's offensive, especially since Manchester United's record in France has always been poor.

In an interview with the media, Ball publicly stated that Gu Fei's performance in the Premier League was just an illusion. The knockout rounds of the Champions League will reveal Gu Fei's true colors!

Of course, Ball did not criticize Manchester United and Gu Fei without thinking. In fact, the strength gap between the teams was too big. He could only try to influence the emotions of Manchester United and Gu Fei through some off-board moves to find the answer to Manchester United.

Some loopholes.

Ferguson is a thousand-year-old fox, so why are you playing in front of him?

Ferguson led a closed training session with fans and strictly ordered the players not to be interviewed by the media, at least not to answer questions about the match against Lille.

For Ferguson, the various media wars and psychological warfare before the game are nothing more than child's play. Manchester United is now in good condition, there is no need to engage in these off-the-table tricks, and they cannot be interfered with in any way.

When Manchester United's charter flight landed at Lens Airport, the media was unable to get any valuable answers from Ferguson and Manchester United players.

Gu Fei's Airbus A330 is still undergoing final decorations, and it is estimated that it will not be delivered until the Wimbledon finals. It can be regarded as Gu Fei's 24th birthday present.

Now Manchester United can only charter airline flights to play away games, so British Airways has become Manchester United's sponsor.

After Manchester United arrived in Lens, the Lens Club provided Manchester United with a full range of thoughtful services, simply hoping to gain Manchester United's friendship and gain some benefits in the transfer market.

Of course, watching their arch-enemy Lille perform well in the Champions League this year, Lens club is naturally unhappy.

You know, in the season before the World Cup in France, Lens won the league championship, and the home stadium Boralt also became the venue for the World Cup in France. Lens was very prosperous that year.

At that time, Lille was still struggling in the second division. No one expected that after Lille was promoted to the first division in 2000, it would finish third in the league in the 2000-01 season, joining Lens who finished second.

UEFA Champions League.

Today, Lille is still a regular player in the Champions League, while Lens has stagnated a bit this year. Comparing the two, Lens people really feel uncomfortable.

…………

Manchester United arrived in Lens, and 10,000 fans with tickets also arrived one after another. This small town in northwest France suddenly became lively.

Hundreds of media reporters followed, of which more than half were from China. Manchester United has become the home team of Chinese fans.

Compared to another Chinese-owned Premier League team, Liverpool, Manchester United is more popular among Chinese fans because of Gu Fei, and there are more media reports.

After all, Manchester United has the world's number one sports star like Gu Fei!

In addition to Chinese journalists, there are nearly a hundred journalists from various countries who followed Manchester United on their expedition to Lens. As the hottest team in European football at the moment, Manchester United has attracted much attention.

Manchester United took a day to adapt to the weather in Lens. After all, players will always have some discomfort when they come from rainy England to sunny France.

In addition, Lens' Boralt Stadium is also much smaller than Manchester United's home stadium, Old Trafford. Manchester United needs to fight in a narrower area and must be mentally prepared.

…………

Busy time always flies by. At 8pm local time on February 21, 2007 in Lens, the Bollaert Stadium was brightly lit and full of people!

This stadium, which was built in 1933, has been renovated many times and can accommodate more than 30,000 seats. What is interesting is that the total population of the small town of Lens is only just over 30,000.

This is very common in Europe. Some small cities and towns have a home stadium capacity that is even larger than the local resident population. However, when the game starts, fans from dozens of kilometers away flock to the stadium and the stadium is packed to capacity.

This time is no exception. In addition to the 10,000 Manchester United fans who traveled across the sea, Lille fans also came to Lens from all directions to cheer for the chasing team.

Boralte Stadium has hosted the 1984 European Cup, the 1998 World Cup, the 1999 and 2007 Rugby World Cup, and is an indelible monument in the history of world sports.

In 1998, the Estadio Boralte witnessed France's 1:0 overtime victory over Paraguay, witnessing the ecstasy of the French and the sadness of the Paraguayans.

In that year's World Cup, Paraguay was undoubtedly one of the best defensive teams. Under the leadership of captain Chilavert, they squeezed out Spain in the group stage and met the host France in the quarter-finals.

In that game, Chilavert blocked numerous must-goals for the French team, making Zidane anxious while sitting in the stands after being suspended. If it hadn't been for the goal of French veteran Blanco in the overtime period,

After rescuing the French team and rescuing Zidane, there would be no subsequent French dynasty, and there would be no World Footballer of Zidane.

When Gu Fei walked into this stadium, a wave of pride surged in his heart!

This is Gu Fei's first time to participate in a football match outside of England. Gu Fei can't help but feel excited as he thinks that he will conquer famous stadiums in the world one by one in the future.

Before the game, Gu Fei still found the opening ceremony designed by UEFA for the Champions League very new, because he had watched it on TV before, but now that he experienced it in person, it was quite unique.

In the stands, 10,000 Red Devils fans were all wearing white away jerseys to cheer for Manchester United. Only the occasional bright red flag made Gu Fei's state of mind explode.

Gu Fei is the first Chinese player to participate in the Champions League. Every step he takes in the European competition will create new history.

"Dear audience friends, this is China TV Station 5. We are broadcasting the first leg of the 2006-07 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals live in the French town of Lens. Manchester United challenges Lille away from home!" in front of the TV!

The audience heard the familiar voice of Wong Tai Sin, which meant that the game was about to begin!

"Hey, this is the Stade Borralt, the home stadium of Lens Club, because Lille's home stadium does not meet the requirements of UEFA, and its European games are all played in Lens." Teacher Zhang Lu's voice also made old fans

Very high-level, I still feel a little uncomfortable without him.

"This is the first time Gu Fei has stepped onto the UEFA Champions League. What kind of surprise will he bring to us?" Wong Tai Sin expressed the voice of fans across the country. After Gu Fei killed everyone in the Premier League, the UEFA Champions League

It has become a battlefield that everyone is looking forward to.

"Manchester United's main players are playing, it seems Sir Alex Ferguson is bound to win this game!" Teacher Zhang Lu introduced the lineups of both sides to the audience in front of the TV, and also realized that Sir Alex Ferguson would have to settle the battle away from home.

After entering March, Manchester United will have to complete at least 8 games on four fronts, which places extremely stringent requirements on the physical fitness and physical condition of the players. If Sir Alex Ferguson did not make good planning and rotation, Manchester United may be in trouble in March.

After falling thousands of miles, in the end, both hands were empty.

If the opponent's hope of promotion can be dashed in the first round, it will undoubtedly give Manchester United a better strategic advantage in March.

Before kick-off, Gu Fei's biggest worry was that the team's underestimation would put the team into trouble. In that game in the previous life, if it hadn't been for Wang Laoji's controversial free kick goal, would Manchester United have been able to win from the Boralt Stadium?

It may not be possible to return the whole body.

However, today's Manchester United has two generals, Gu Fei and Ibrahimovic, who perform much better in various competitions than in their previous lives. Lille should not cause too much trouble to Manchester United.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially started, and the Chinese fans who got up at two o'clock in the morning to watch the game were also in high spirits. They stared at the TV screen intently, wanting to see Gu Fei in the Champions League for the first time.

Performance.

After the kick-off, Gu Fei was not in a hurry to move forward, because the opponent's formation remained very compact and did not press heavily because of the home field. Now, Gu Fei's control in the midfield has become somewhat proficient. The Manchester United players see

Gu Fei acted accordingly and cooperated accordingly.

Upon seeing this, Ferguson sat back on the coaching bench with great satisfaction and waited for the changes on the court!
