Reborn Almighty Life

With the whistle of the Austrian international referee Konrad Plautz, the 2007 European Super Cup officially started. The Champions League champion Manchester United accepted the challenge of the UEFA Cup champion Sevilla to determine the honor of the king of European football.

For fans, although the importance of the European Super Cup cannot be compared with that of the Champions League final, after more than two and a half months, the war in the European arena has rekindled, and the attraction is still quite strong.

As the opening game of the new European season, the European Super Cup has attracted unanimous attention from audiences across Europe. Hundreds of millions of fans squat in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast. Even fans who cannot watch TV put on radios in their cars and listen.

Live programs on radio stations.

People want to see what kind of performance the Manchester United team, which swept Europe last season, can perform at the beginning of the new season.

Last week, Manchester United had just easily defeated Chelsea to win the English Community Shield, but Chelsea obviously had not yet entered the state and could not weigh Manchester United's weight.

Therefore, Sevilla, which performed well in the warm-up matches and the third qualifying round of the Champions League and has been training for more than a month, has become the best touchstone in the eyes of media reporters and fans.

"The game officially begins. Manchester United, which has the first-mover advantage, attacks from left to right, and Sevilla, wearing white jerseys, attacks from right to left. The two sides will decide the first heavyweight championship trophy in the new season of European football!

"In Huang Dashan's slightly excited commentary, the European Super Cup, which is destined to be recorded in history, kicked off.

"Sevilla's formation is very compact, and the midfielders and frontcourt players retreat very quickly. It seems that they have made a lot of preparations for this game." Teacher Zhang Lu introduced Sevilla's formation and said about Spain

The tactics of the Copa del Rey winner are analyzed in detail.

Facing Sevilla's retreat, Gu Fei, who was in possession of the ball, was not surprised at all. This was almost the normal treatment of Manchester United. Countless teams that tried to attack Manchester United told their colleagues with bloody lessons that when they are not strong enough,

Don't have fun when you are in trouble.

Once against Manchester United, the wide midfield space and open formation will become the stage for Manchester United's frontcourt attack group to perform, and in the end they will only suffer defeat.

No team is willing to compare with Manchester United's powerful frontcourt offensive capabilities. Everyone always subconsciously wants to be conservative when facing Manchester United.

Since Sevilla gave up the midfield, Gu Fei was not polite at all. He used himself as the axis, made full use of the width of the court, and constantly mobilized the opponent's defense.

In just five minutes, Manchester United successfully held Sevilla in the half. Vidic and Ferdinand stood near the center circle, while goalkeeper Neuer stood on the line of the penalty area and stretched.

sports.

For Neuer, coming to Manchester United is undoubtedly a huge challenge. After all, he has jumped from a second-tier Bundesliga team to the best club and the most powerful team in the world. He has attracted countless halo and attention at the same time.

, will also bring huge pressure.

Last season, Van der Sar's performance at Manchester United was perfect. When the team withstood the opponent's counterattack, Van der Sar's perfect positioning and extremely quick reactions made him the patron saint of Manchester United.

It's not obvious that he is a 37-year-old athlete.

After entering Manchester United, Neuer found that Van der Sar was in good condition during daily training. He also put enough pressure on Neuer to make him understand that it was not certain who the main goalkeeper would be in the new season.

In the past month or so, Neuer and Van der Sar have taken turns playing, and both have performed very well, evenly matched.

In the Community Shield match, Van der Sar played for Manchester United, blocking shots from Drogba, Lampard, Joe Cole and others with high passes and low blocks. His performance was perfect.

In the European Super Cup, it was Neuer's turn to play. It was the first time for him to stand in such a globally watched game, and he was somewhat excited.

Neuer knows that this is also a test for himself by Sir Alex Ferguson. If he can maintain a good mentality in such a game, he will have many opportunities to debut in the new season. If he performs abnormally, he may only be able to watch Fan as a substitute.

Desa's performance.

Even though Manchester United spent 20 million pounds to bring Neuer from Germany to Manchester, Manchester United will not ensure Neuer's main position just because of this transfer fee. Once Neuer performs poorly, the wealthy Manchester United club will completely

He has the confidence to put a star with a net worth of 20 million pounds and a weekly salary of more than 80,000 pounds on the bench.

In this game, in addition to Neuer replacing Van der Sar who had some muscle fatigue, and Hargreaves appearing as one of the double midfielders, Ferguson sent out other players from the starting lineup of last season's Champions League final. This is also

A reward for last season's championship team.

After all, this UEFA Champions League championship trophy was obtained through hard work by these players. Now that it is time to enjoy the glory, it is natural for them to be unveiled in front of the whole world.

If the team doctor hadn't advised Van der Sar not to force his appearance, Sir Alex Ferguson would have even wanted to move out of last season's main lineup so that his players could enjoy the cheers of fans around the world.

Aguero, who was on the bench, looked at the big guys playing freely on the court, with a look of envy in his eyes, wishing he could appear on the field.

"How's it going? Are you envious?" Van der Sar looked at the excited Argentinian young man and felt good about him.

Speaking of which, Van der Sar can be regarded as becoming famous at a young age. At the age of 22, he was born in Ajax and became the main goalkeeper of the youth team, winning the honor of the best goalkeeper in the Netherlands.

On May 24, 1995, Van der Sar served as the main goalkeeper to help Ajax defeat AC Milan 1-0 in the UEFA Champions League final and win the championship. That was the last glorious swan song of the Ajax youth army. When Bos

After the Mann Act began to be implemented in European football, Ajax quickly became a star processing factory for European giants.

In the 1994-95 season, Van der Sar represented Ajax in 48 appearances in various competitions and kept 21 clean sheets. He helped Ajax defend the Eredivisie title with 88 points and was elected the 1995 European Player of the Year.

Goalkeeper, UEFA club's best goalkeeper, Netherlands' best goalkeeper.

At the age of 25, Van der Sar reached the pinnacle of what a goalkeeper can achieve. At that time, Van der Sar was in a state of great success.

However, as Ajax continues to lose its stars, the competitiveness of the Dutch giants in the European arena continues to decline. Even if Van der Sar dominates the Eredivisie, no media will pay attention to it.

In 1999, Van der Sar moved to Juventus for US$8 million, replacing the retired Peruzzi as the main goalkeeper of the Old Lady, and began to enter the ranks of European giants.

However, Van der Sar's life in Turin was not easy. Strict Italian fans have very demanding requirements for non-Italian goalkeepers, but Van der Sar always failed in key games, causing him to gradually lose the trust of the club.

.

On May 14, 2000, Juventus faced Perugia in the final round of the Serie A championship, but the goal guarded by Edwin van der Sar was broken by the opponent in the 49th minute of the game. Juventus ended up losing 0-1.

Defeated, thus finishing second in Serie A with a 1-point disadvantage. This also fulfilled Lazio's last Serie A championship after many years.

On November 8, 2000, Juventus faced Panathinaikos in the final round of the first group stage of the Champions League. Van der Sar received a second yellow card and was sent off in the 56th minute of the game. In the end, Juventus

Sri Lanka lost to its opponent 1-3 and was eliminated. 200

On May 6, 1 year, Juventus played against Roma in the 29th round of Serie A. Edwin van der Sar made a low-level mistake in the injury time of the game. Roma forward Vincenzo Montella seized the opportunity to score the ball and Juventus

Tus was ultimately tied 2-2 by Roma in this battle for the top spot.

Mistakes in key matches and Juventus spending huge sums of money to buy Buffon mean that Van der Sar's days at Juventus are numbered.

In August 2001, Van der Sar moved from Juventus to Fulham Football Club in the Premier League for 5 million pounds. He signed a four-year contract. People believed that this was the Dutch goalkeeper's last professional contract. After all, he had already

Over 31 years old.

During his five years at Fulham, Van der Sar's performance was not too bad, but he was still far from a world-class level. However, the entire Fulham club, fans and even media reporters were very disappointed with this humble and low-key player.

The Dutch goalkeepers are very fond of him and even think that he will stay at Fulham until he retires.

When Sir Alex Ferguson offered Edwin van der Sar an olive branch in the summer of 2005, no one would have imagined that this would become the beginning of a great legend.

Both the two parties involved and the outside world believe that Van der Sar's move to Manchester United is just a transition, a helpless move after the search for Schmeichel's successor failed.

After Schmeichel retired, the goalkeepers standing in front of Manchester United were just like watching the flowers, from Van der Hoo, Bosnich, butter hand Barthez, American goalkeepers Howard, Carroll, but they have always been missed by mistakes and

Covered by a curse.

In the past few years, the reason why Manchester United has maintained a strong competitiveness in the Premier League is purely due to its strong overall strength. The collapsed goalkeeper is really a bit unsatisfactory.

But the weakness of the goalkeeper will be infinitely magnified in the European competition. Manchester United has never competed for the Champions League title since winning the championship in 1999. In addition to overall strength and luck, the goalkeeper's loopholes are also important factors.

After arriving at Manchester United in the summer of 2005, the 35-year-old Van der Sar miraculously enjoyed a second spring. His outstanding form even made Sir Alex Ferguson forget to look for a suitable successor.

Last season, the 37-year-old Van der Sar swept across Europe with Manchester United and won four crowns. At the same time, Van der Sar also won the honor of the best goalkeeper in the Premier League and the best goalkeeper in the Champions League.

For Van der Sar, who is used to seeing big storms, not appearing in the European Super Cup is of no consequence. After all, he already won the European Super Cup 12 years ago.

On the contrary, Van der Sar, who is now nearly forty years old, sees things quickly and does not hesitate to impart some insights to young players.

This summer, head coach Sir Alex Ferguson and team owner Gu Fei also talked to Van der Sar, fully affirming his contribution and hoping that Van der Sar would play a greater role in the team and help Neuer become more successful.

Grow well.

In fact, Gu Fei has already described to Van der Sar his career plan after retirement, which is to serve as a goalkeeper coach at Manchester United and become the head of the goalkeeper coaching staff of the Gufei Chinese Football School to cultivate more top goalkeepers for world football.

.

As for the main goalkeepers in the new season, Neuer or Van der Sar, whoever is in better condition will be on the field, each based on their ability.

The double affirmation from the head coach and owner made Van der Sar feel reassured, and with his humble personality, he would not argue about the number of appearances. He just happened to be feeling unwell, so he gave up the idea of ​​playing in this game.

Off the court, Van der Sar and Aguero chatted happily. For the young Argentinian, the dazzling experience of a big man like Van der Sar is enough for him to look up to.

Aguero is living a good life in the Manchester United team now. He shares a dormitory with boss Gu Fei and is the soon-to-be son-in-law of football king Maradona. He has also shown strong strength in training and games, and has won many awards.

It was unanimously recognized by the whole team.

At present, Manchester United does not have many people on the front line. Apart from the two irreplaceable main forwards Ibrahimovic and Rooney, Solskjaer and Aguero are the only substitutes. This puts pressure on Aguero in competition.

Much smaller.

Before this game, Sir Alex Ferguson made it clear that if the team established the victory around 60 minutes in the second half, the Argentinian youngster would have a half-hour opportunity to perform. This made the young man almost unable to sleep with excitement last night.

Now, when chatting with Edwin van der Sar about his views on the game on the bench, Aguero was completely focused, for fear of missing some important ideas, and was very serious!

On the field, the midfielder led by Gu Fei completely suppressed Sevilla. Although Manchester United had not scored yet, Sevilla's defense was already shaky.

For La Liga teams that always like open games, full-line defense is a very difficult tactical choice. Not only does the coach find it difficult to make corresponding tactical arrangements, but the players also lack sufficient tactical execution ability.

After all, not all teams are Chelsea and not all football coaches are named Mourinho.

Soon, Sevilla's defense was full of holes under the attack of Gu Fei and others. Ibrahimovic, Rooney and others got the opportunity to start calmly one after another. Although they had not penetrated Sevilla's goal, they

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is only a matter of time before Manchester United takes the lead.

The team had the upper hand, and Gu Fei and others performed more calmly. After all, the opponent was not a Premier League team that emphasized physical confrontation. Manchester United's players had countless ways to suppress Sevilla in their half and perform wonderful offense and defense.

drill.

Fifteen minutes into the game, the exhausted Sevilla defense finally showed a trace of chaos. Gu Fei was keenly aware of this loophole, and passed the ball like a scalpel, allowing Rooney to successfully counter the offside and gain a direct goal.

Opportunity for the opposing goalkeeper!
