Reborn Almighty Life

Roma's flight landed slowly at Manchester International Airport. Hundreds of reporters from more than 200 media outlets were waiting eagerly in the airport hall. Everyone was looking forward to Roma's better performance at the Theater of Dreams.

In the quarter-finals of last season's Champions League, Roma suffered the worst defeat in the team's history at Old Trafford. The disastrous defeat with a score of 0:10 made the Roma soldiers unable to hold their heads high. This is their A stain on your career.

It was precisely because of the impact of that defeat that Roma's performance in the subsequent Serie A was extremely sluggish. If AC Milan and Juventus had not been punished with penalty points and relegation, Roma would not even have been able to qualify for the Champions League.

Roma, which finally reached the Champions League group stage through the third qualifying round, was placed in Group F by UEFA in the same group as Manchester United. No one would believe it if there was nothing fishy about it.

When Manchester United legend Schmeichel personally drew the second-tier Roma team into Group F, where Manchester United was located, there was a burst of laughter, and there were even loud whistles in the audience.

The on-site director reacted quickly and immediately switched the camera to the face of Roma coach Luciano Spallelli, trying to find some emotional changes on the Italian young coach's face.

Spallelli also knew that there must be countless cameras staring at him now. Even if he was cursing UEFA in his heart, he could not show it on his face. He was extremely uncomfortable.

In the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season, Roma suffered a massacre by Manchester United. The 0:3 loss at home was understandable. After all, the strength gap between the two teams was still huge; however, at Old Trafford it was 0:10. The disastrous defeat almost caused Spallelli to lose his coaching position.

Now, the two teams meet in the group stage, and Spallelli would not believe it if UEFA did not tamper with it.

The camera also turned to Sir Alex Ferguson. The old man's face was red and he was talking to Cristiano Ronaldo. It could be seen that he was in a good mood.

For Manchester United, it doesn't matter who the opponent is in the group stage. Manchester United's goal is to become the first team to successfully defend the Champions League after the restructuring, so it needs to have the belief to defeat all opponents!

Meeting Roma, apart from a little bit of booing, did not bring any psychological burden to the Manchester United soldiers.

Therefore, when Roma arrived in Manchester, Manchester United players were playing various casual games in the hotel club to relax.

In addition to a well-equipped gym, the Cayman Hotel also has a real turf training field the size of a quarter of a stadium, which is a big investment in urban Manchester where land is at a premium.

The reason why Manchester United likes to gather and stay here before the game is not only that it is not far from Old Trafford, but also this small stadium is also a very important reason.

In addition to ensuring normal training intensity and projects in the hotel, the Caiman Hotel's rich and colorful entertainment facilities are also very popular among Manchester United players.

However, whenever the players start various entertainment and leisure activities, Gu Fei is often excluded, because Gu Fei has amazing talents in a variety of sports. As soon as he gets started in any sports, he will be very good. You will soon have professional standards.

For example, in table tennis, bowling, and even darts, Gu Fei swept the entire team in an extreme amount of time. In the end, everyone collectively fired Gu Fei. Even if he was the boss, there was nothing he could do.

In this way, when his teammates were having fun, Gu Fei could only transform into a waiter and serve tea and water to these players.

Wu Shitou, who was participating in the first team's pre-game group life for the first time, was stunned when he saw this scene. After all, in his impression, Gu Fei, as the team's top star and boss, should have supreme authority in the team.

However, the facts greatly overturned Wu Shitou's understanding. Super idol Gu Fei's status in the team was not even as good as an ordinary substitute player. The atmosphere in the Manchester United team made Wu Shitou realize that the reason why the team was able to sweep Europe was not

Just rely on the team's strength on paper.

The harmonious team atmosphere allows the players in the Manchester United team to have extremely high enthusiasm and motivation for every competition. This is how they can remain undefeated for more than a year!

According to Sir Alex Ferguson's practice, the team had to stay together the day before the game. They used to stay at the training base. In recent years, Manchester United has a lot of money, so they stayed in a five-star hotel very close to the stadium.

After Gu Fei took over Manchester United, Manchester United's partner hotel became the Cayman Hotel. This new hotel, which opened in Manchester less than three years ago, has become the most eye-catching top hotel in Manchester in a short period of time.

.

Every time Manchester United plays a game at Old Trafford, they will stay at this hotel the day before the game. This hotel with a variety of complete facilities also uses its high-quality services and software and hardware facilities to make Manchester United players extremely satisfied.

.

Especially after Manchester United stayed in this hotel, they remained unbeaten for a year, which undoubtedly gave Manchester United players more psychological support.

For professional football players, some unexplained superstitious behaviors support the elements of their game, which is very metaphysical.

In international football, habits and even quirks abound among teams and players, and this has become one of the charms of football that attracts fans.

After all, a football game is not a cookie-cutter simulation, nor is it a cold data display. Instead, it is composed of players with full flesh and blood and different personalities. It is their colorful display that makes football particularly attractive and becomes a

The world's number one sport.

Since staying at the Cayman Hotel, Manchester United's results have been so stable that no one from Manchester United's players has mentioned changing to another hotel.

After Roma arrived in Manchester, they had to deal with the overwhelming number of media reporters. By the time they arrived at the hotel, three hours had passed and all the players were exhausted physically and mentally.

In modern football, although the convenience of civil flights allows players to reach their destinations very quickly, the fatigue of away trips is still unavoidable.

Especially coming from a warm city to a rainy and humid area in England, many players are not used to it, which is a great test on their physical fitness.

In addition, the harassment of away fans, the pursuit of media reporters and the pressure from the outside world will make players suffer in the away game. It is not easy for them to win the game in the away game.

Especially when Roma faced Manchester United, which swept them 10:0 last year, the players couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, fearing that the tragedy would happen again!

In the past few seasons, due to the impact of club chairman Sensi's off-field scandal, the Sensi family's investment in Roma has been declining, and Roma's competitiveness has been declining year by year. It has become an indisputable fact.

After the relegation of Juventus in Serie A and the departure of AC Milan's heavyweight stars, this was originally the best time for Roma to rise again. Unfortunately, Roma, like other Serie A teams, is gradually declining, just like Italy's economy.

generally.

Italy's economic situation has gradually shown a downward trend, and the Italian companies that supported Serie A clubs have also lost their glory. Except for a few companies such as Fiat, there are not many large companies in Italy. Therefore, the "financiers" who invest in Serie A teams

”, are all Italian family businesses.

The stage when Serie A matches have the greatest international influence happens to be when the Italian economy is in an upward cycle.

Italy won the World Cup in 1982 and won the right to host the World Cup in 1990. The domestic atmosphere was unprecedentedly high and the market prospects were promising. A large number of Italian entrepreneurs invested money in Serie A.

At that time, other foreign leagues were far from reaching such capital investment. Serie A suddenly attracted stars from all over the world. Platini, Zico, Maradona, Matthaus, Laudrup, Gullit

, Gascoigne came to Serie A to play, Serie A won the title of "Little World Cup", the "Three Dutch Musketeers" led the Milan team to play the power of the Milan Dynasty in Europe, and Serie A became the world's number one league.

Since the mid-1990s, Serie A has slowly lost its advantage. England established the Premier League and returned to Europe to catch up. Spain took advantage of the oligarchy of member-based football, with core clubs concentrating a large amount of resources, while the Bundesliga relied on its own economic power.

Efforts should be made to institutionalize the construction and establish a comprehensive comprehensive competition

Competition. In this process, the magnitude of capital investment is getting higher and higher, from pure entrepreneurial capital investment to the use of financial instruments to finance and burn money. In the mid-1990s, Alan Shearer's 15 million pounds was already a record transfer fee.

At the beginning of the 11th century, Zidane's transfer to Real Madrid quadrupled to 64 million pounds.

After all, the influence of professional football leagues needs to be supported by super strong teams and star players, and raising teams and players requires huge financial expenditures. Therefore, after the domestic economic situation in Italy gradually declined, the family behind Serie A

The poor ability of enterprises to resist risks has reduced their financial support for teams. This situation has gradually made Serie A less attractive.

Take Berlusconi, who used to be quite generous in supporting the club, for example. As the richest man in Italy, he was once the most generous owner in Serie A, and AC Milan has always had a large number of world-class stars.

It is precisely because of its outstanding performance in Serie A's "Little World Cup" era that AC Milan has become the super giant with the second most UEFA Champions League titles after Real Madrid, and has a huge number of fans around the world.

It's a pity that today's AC Milan cannot even retain its superstars Kaká and Shevchenko, which shows that Serie A's attraction to superstars is gradually declining.

During the gradual decline of Serie A, some clubs broke out in the "phonegate" scandal, and this collusion in match-fixing also seriously damaged Serie A's credibility.

Fair competition in sports competitions is one of its most attractive features. Therefore, Serie A's "Calciopoli" incident and match-fixing scandal have completely shaken the league's audience base. Although the parties involved in the incident received criminal punishment, this

It is also difficult to change the image of Serie A in the minds of the audience.

Against this background, although the Roma club really wants to make a difference in the Champions League, the team's competitiveness is there and it is difficult to break through the blockade of other European giants. They just hope not to lose like last season.

It's enough to change beyond recognition.

…………

Roma's arrival in Manchester means that the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage has arrived. Media and fans around the world are focusing on Old Trafford. What kind of sparks will they produce?

In this regard, various media outlets have expressed their opinions and are lively. This is also the time when fans of each team are most active, especially on the most interactive Internet platform. Debates between fans have become the most fashionable in recent years.

way of discussion.

On the Internet, Manchester United has obviously won the support of more fans. After all, Gu Fei is the latest generation of super idol in the international sports world. Gu Fei has great influence among young people.

Looking back at Roma, apart from a Roman prince ‘Totti’ who is over thirty years old, there are not many superstars that make people shine. It is a foregone conclusion that they cannot attract the attention of fans.

These days, the battle is all about the eyeball economy, and your inability to attract more attention means that you will lag behind your opponents in all aspects, and your performance on the court will be inferior to others.

Last season's 10:0 was the product of an all-round comparison between the two teams, but the outside world has always been a little confused about it.

Now, Manchester United meets Roma again in the Champions League. Manchester United naturally has a very high psychological advantage. One night before the start of the game, there was even a lively snooker tournament. In the end, it was Scholes who grabbed the victory.

champion.

Gu Fei stood on the side and was eager to try, but unfortunately his teammates held him down and refused to let him appear as a contestant.

Amid a burst of laughter, the Manchester United soldiers rested in a happy mood, and the outside world was also discussing the upcoming game more and more lively.

Neither the media nor the fans believe that Roma can escape from Old Trafford. After all, with Manchester United's current situation, it is difficult for Roma's defense to withstand Manchester United's mercury-like offensive frenzy.

Since the start of this season, Manchester United has maintained a complete victory and won the Community Shield and European Super Cup. The full-fire mode is scary to watch.

At Old Trafford, Manchester United also has the full support of 88,000 Manchester United fans. This is undoubtedly a nightmare away game for the away team. I am afraid that it is a fluke to be able to score seven or eight points despite being very strong.

.

Under the circumstances, I am afraid that head coach Spallelli and captain Totti do not have any confidence in this away game. They only hope that the team can concede two fewer goals in the Theater of Dreams and that the scene will not be too ugly.

.

Before the game, the players of the two teams had completely different attitudes towards the game. This is also closely related to the development trend of the two clubs. The team that develops better has full confidence, while the team that is in trouble is cautious and cautious for fear of collapse.

.

However, there is a 'Murphy's Law' in this world. The more you are afraid of something, the faster it will happen!

As the ruler of the Iron Curtain in European football, Manchester United quickly showed its spirit to the outside world!
