What will be the impact if Manchester United fails to qualify from the Champions League group stage?

Different people will approach it from different angles and produce different answers.

The Glazer family will undoubtedly believe that failure to qualify for the group stage will bring huge loss of profits to Manchester United, including daily income from stadium games, Champions League bonuses, broadcast fee sharing, etc., plus other incidental income, all adding up to more than 10 million pounds. .

Champions League income has always been a major weight in the Glazer family's optimistic estimates. They have never even calculated the losses if Manchester United cannot qualify for the group stage, but now, this situation has really appeared in front of them.

Challenging Benfica away from home, Manchester United encountered successive blows from the home team and unexpectedly lost 2:1.

Before the fifth round, Manchester United was 1 point behind Benfica and the same point as Lille. This game was also considered a life and death battle for Manchester United. As a result, Manchester United unexpectedly lost to Benfica in an away game, causing the gap between the two teams to widen to 4 points. points, while Lille drew with Villarreal, 1 point more than Manchester United.

It can be said that Manchester United has been eliminated from the group stage. The only thing they can compete for now is to compete with Lille for third place in the group, so that they can qualify to participate in the UEFA Cup. However, the UEFA Cup has always been ignored by Manchester United. .

What caused Manchester United to slip up at a critical moment?

The media believed that it was caused by the multi-front battles of multiple players. Some people believed that Manchester United lacked the belief in winning in a life-and-death battle. At this time, everyone suddenly missed the captain who had just left.

If Keane is there, maybe the players will play with more fighting spirit, because he will wake them up when they are slacking off; if Keane is there, maybe this game will not be lost, because the Manchester United midfielder His weakness was easily defeated by Benfica; if Keane was there...but there are no ifs in this world!

Ironically, after this game, the media published an open letter written by Keane after leaving Manchester United.

In this open letter, Keane explained in detail the reasons why he left Manchester United. He talked about the grievances between himself and several enemies, including Queiroz.

This open letter is written very sincerely, especially in this letter, which reveals Keane's deep feelings for Manchester United inside and out. People can't help but feel regretful, and at the same time they can't help asking themselves why such a person has to be What about being forced to leave Manchester United?

"Of course, the person I should be most grateful to is Sir Alex Ferguson. Without you, there would be no Roy!"

"As we chew on these words with all kinds of bitterness, I wonder if Ferguson will miss this loyal soldier who fought alongside him for 13 years, and will he regret the decision he made a few days ago?"

"However, we have reason to believe that Ferguson will not allow Manchester United to continue to slump. In the chaotic world of the Premier League, it will be difficult for Manchester United to continue to be as strong as before, but the wise Ferguson must understand that it is imperative for Manchester United to renew. After all, they have Rooney, Robinho, Diego and Quaresma!"

These newly introduced players all performed well. Even Quaresma, who was known as the endless parallel import in his previous life, has improved a lot under Ferguson's training, and his performance in the Premier League is getting better and better. There is a faint trace of his previous life. Xiao Luo's shadow.

Xiao Yu is very clear about this. After all, Ronaldinho was recruited by him. Ferguson will definitely cultivate other players. He is looking forward to it. Robinho, Diego and Quaresma will be trained by Ferguson. What can be achieved in the future.

…………While Manchester United unexpectedly lost to Benfica, they defeated Udinese 2:1 at home. The Italian team continued to play a difficult role. Chiellini started this game, but he played A community of angels and devils.

Since he has already qualified for the group, Mourinho arranged for many young players to start this game. Shortly after the start, Ismail received a through ball from Michael Johnson in the middle. After taking the ball with his back, he used his deft Technique at his feet, he suddenly volleyed hard after turning around, and the ball hit the bottom of the net, 1:0!

The excellent start allowed Udinese to take control of the situation on the court. Udinese faced a defensive counterattack, and the two sides played in a stalemate. However, when the game reached the 37th minute of the first half, Chiellini once When he made an extremely ordinary cross from the wing, he made a mistake in judgment, which led to Iaquinta's header.

After that, Udinese played more and more actively, and even occupied the situation on the court for a time.

During the halftime break, Mourinho encouraged Chiellini and continued to trust the Italian to stay on the court. In the end, the Italian did not live up to Mourinho's trust.

After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Chiellini performed well, especially in several defenses, where he was even more solid, but Udinese's defense still gave him a headache.

In the 77th minute, after being unable to attack for a long time, they got a chance for a corner kick. Michael Johnson sent the ball into the penalty area. Chiellini overwhelmed the defender and scored with a header, 2:1!

After scoring the winning goal, Chiellini was very excited. He ran to the sideline immediately, blocked Mourinho and hugged him. It was obviously this way to repay the coach for his kindness. Love.

The rest of the game turned into a one-man show, with Udinese playing a tragic role in a one-sided situation. Although they once saw hope in the game, they had to accept a defeat in the end.

In another game in the same group, Barcelona defeated Werder Bremen 3:1 at home. The biggest problem of Schaff's team is defense. This is related to Schaff's emphasis on offense and light defense, so his team can win at Camp Nou. Scored the first goal, but failed to repeat the feat of defeating Barcelona.

When Barcelona reacted, Werder Bremen was scored 3 goals in a row, and Ronaldinho's performance was eye-catching with every pass and shot.

After this game, the media's hype about Ronaldinho's European Player of the Year and World Player of the Year reappeared. With the start of the campaign, the announcement date is approaching, and who will win these two awards The suspense of the award is becoming more and more attractive, and the media is taking turns to hype it up.

Some people say it is Ronaldinho. Barcelona is now like a Brazilian team. When Ronaldinho performs well, Barcelona can always win, but once Ronaldinho enters a trough, Then Barcelona became a toothless tiger. The most obvious thing was the two games against them.

But another player with a loud voice is also a Brazilian, Kaka from Brazil.

It can be said that the offensive tactics in the frontcourt almost all revolve around Kaka, and Kaka did not live up to Mourinho's high expectations. After adapting at the beginning of last season, he suddenly exerted his strength and in one season He scored 23 league goals, and also pushed for the Champions League finals at critical moments many times, and his two precious goals pushed him to the throne.

"If it's a gathering of stars, then Kaká has been the most dazzling gem in the lineup over the past two seasons. His brilliance even outshines captain Beckham."

However, Kaka is not without shortcomings, that is, whether in the Brazilian national team or in the Brazilian national team, Kaka has strong opponents. In the Brazilian team, his teammate Ronaldinho is Brazil's chief star, and Kaka is the former Acting as his deputy on the field, this resulted in Kaka's performance in the national team being always not as dazzling as Ronaldinho.

In the club, Beckham's image is even more comparable to that of Kaká. The former is still the captain and the core organizer. In addition, he was the Mr. Double winner last year. This year, he continues to be a favorite. After all, Beckham has transformed into a new player. After organizing the defensive midfielder, he not only showed world-class strength, but also was very stable.

Another big favorite is also inextricably related to Palacio, who transferred to AC Milan for a sky-high price. The Argentine has shown a world-class level in the Rossoneri, not losing to Ronaldinho. His outstanding skills are more integrated into the overall coordination awareness and tactical effect of the team's tactics.

Although AC Milan lost to Juventus in the league championship last season and lost again in the Champions League final, Palacio's performance is definitely worthy of the Footballer of the Year. At the same time, he is also the absolute main force in the Argentine national team. High hopes were placed on it.

In this season's Serie A, Palacio is also the undisputed chief superstar, and his dazzling level is on par with Kaká in the Premier League and Ronaldinho in La Liga.

Another favorite this season is Frank Lampard of Chelsea in the Premier League. Under the coaching of Carlo Ancelotti, the Englishman has completely stimulated his own state and became the core of Chelsea's tactics. At the same time, he led Chelsea all the way through and won the trophy. The first Premier League title in the club's history eclipsed teammate Andriy Shevchenko.

In addition, players including Henry and Gerrard are also considered to have a good chance. Even Zidane and Ronaldo, who are late heroes, are also hailed by the media as having the possibility of an upset.

At this time of year, the selection of the two Footballers always affects the hearts of thousands of fans. Among them, Kaká, Ronaldinho, Beckham, Lampard, and Palacio are known as the top five. candidate.

If you look at it from the club's perspective, the biggest winner this year is undoubtedly that in the list of 50 candidates for the European Ballon d'Or announced by a French magazine, 10 people were selected, namely Cech and Evra. , Curtis, Terry, Essien, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Drogba, De Rossi and Beckham.

Chelsea has 6 stars selected, namely Shevchenko, Lampard, Ballack, Deco, Cannavaro and Veron; Manchester United has 4 players selected, namely Ruud van Nistelrooy, Rooney, and Robinney. O and Diego; Liverpool has four people selected: Owen, Aimar, Gerrard, and Carragher; Manchester City has three people selected: Ibrahimovic, Kolo Toure, and Vieira, Arsenal has the least , there is only one Henry.

In addition, Forlan, who has performed well in Droisden this season, has also been included in the 50-man roster, which also made the Blood fans very excited. After all, they had never thought before that their players might also be selected for the European Golden Ball. Shortlist for the award.

Once this big list was announced, it immediately caused a huge response in the world of football. No one expected that 29 people, more than half, would flood into the Premier League at once, and judging from the distribution, they were distributed among 7 teams. Here, this is difficult to see in other leagues.

And through this list, it is not difficult to see how fierce the competition in the Premier League is this season. The strength gap between the teams is not big, but the strength of the team can also be seen from this list. This team has enough 10 players made it to the 50-man roster, which is definitely an astonishing record.

When French Football responded to questions about why so many players were included in the squad, it was clarified that this list was selected anonymously by all editors and reporters, and there was absolutely no phenomenon of favoritism. The reason why the players were so... So many, they themselves were surprised. Baidu Sister-in-law @ban(.*福)生—Red Rebels

The only explanation may be that this team has just won the European Champions Cup and has just set an astonishing 60-game unbeaten record. At the same time, it is the most popular team in European football. Every player has With first-class strength, they all left a deep impression.

If the European Ballon d'Or's 50-man roster is still questioned by many people, then when FIFA announced the 30-man World Footballer's roster, everyone would be surprised and even doubt whether it is really so tyrannical?

Except for Curtis and De Rossi, the other eight people selected for the European Ballon d'Or 50-man roster were all selected for this year's World Footballer's 30-man roster. This is really surprising, but it is also unacceptable. Not impressed.

According to the FIFA Technical and Development Committee, the performance of the World Cup qualifying rounds accounts for a large part of the scoring criteria for the finalists on this list. Among them, Drogba and Essien helped Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana respectively reach the World Cup in Germany. Entering the list, they are all core players in these two countries.

Luck can only come once and for all. Becoming the biggest winner in two authoritative lists at the same time has undoubtedly become the most popular team in today's football. The Premier League has won more than half of the two lists by virtue of its dominance. , and became the leader among the four major leagues.

However, having the most entries on the list does not mean that the most likely to win the award. As many authoritative media have commented, the 50-man European Ballon d'Or list consists of 45 people playing guessing games with 5 people, while FIFA's World Footballer is good. The point is that 25 people are playing with 5 people. If the final result is not unexpected, it will also happen between Beckham, Kaká, Lampard, Ronaldinho and Palacio.

But it’s really hard to say who will get this honor!
