Chapter 624 Extreme Joy Leads to Sorrow

Beckenbauer, whose hair was already pale, lifted the frame, sat back weakly, and did not speak for a long time. Δ　Read ΔBook　ΔGeＷｗＷ． КanＳＵge. Laａ

I don't know why, but he always thinks of the ending of Real Madrid.

1:2 at home, especially at Manchester United’s home court, is there really any hope?

He had to think so.

Historically, with such a home score, when playing away games, the chance of a comeback was less than 18%. He didn't think Bayern Munich had such good luck, especially because the strength of this Manchester United team was beyond his imagination.

But this is just his personal thought. It is impossible for him to express the depression in his heart. Coach Heathfield is an old friend and he has done a pretty good job. He himself does not know what else this team needs to do. Variety.

Bang bang bang,

In the distance, on the opposite stand, there seemed to be chaos. He stared quietly for several seconds.

What, a fight started?

Yes, Bayern Munich fans seemed to get into a fight with Manchester United fans, and then on-site security intervened, and the scene instantly became very chaotic...

It's bad!

He sighed again, turned around and walked out of the podium indifferently.

What can he do about this kind of thing?

Beckenbauer has left, but the stadium is still in riots. How can the weak Manchester United fans be opponents? The security couldn't deal with so many Bayern fans. In the end, they could only surround more than 200 Manchester United fans and escort them out. They said they were escorts, but in the end they were all arrested...

At the press conference, just as Ferguson was talking about the game, a tragedy soon came.

A policeman was beaten to death, and it was Bayern fans who did it!

tragedy!

Ferguson immediately turned cold and ended the press conference, because all the glory seemed meaningless in front of a dead man. Originally, he wanted to talk about the referee's penalty issue at the press conference, but now it seems there is no point in worrying about it...

※※※※

"It's crazy,

"

"I didn't expect something like this to happen in Germany."

The fact that the policeman was beaten to death quickly spread to the locker room, and Ronaldo and the others began to talk about it.

"I thought such accidents would only happen in poor countries, but I didn't expect it." Rooney also joined the discussion.

"But fans in our country should really be careful when they go to other places to watch football matches. Foreign media report on British football hooligans and always smear the image of our fans. In fact, aren't there many such guys in their country?" Rooney For the first time, he analyzed the problem rationally. This guy looked like a gangster leader, and now he has become a bit impressive.

"There will be football hooligans everywhere. This does not mean that developed countries are very quiet. In fact, they are all full and have nothing to do. Excessive fanaticism will always lead to extremes..." Dong Fangzhuo was more rational, "I heard that there are still Many Manchester United fans have been arrested. I don’t know how they will be dealt with. They will probably be fined. Damn it, something scary always happens in every Champions League knockout match. It’s better to stay safe at home.”

Manchester United rushed back to Manchester overnight. As for those Manchester United fans, I heard that the Munich Police Department only arrested 18 fans in the end, and the others were released directly.

Of course, these fans are die-hard Manchester United fans, and Manchester United officials immediately issued a statement.

The statement called the actions of Bayern Munich fans "grossly excessive". The statement said: "The club warmly welcomes the government's investigation into this matter. We will also collect evidence from fans present and submit it to the British Home Office."

The statement added: "Bayern Munich fans continue to beat up Manchester United fans. This situation shocked everyone at Old Trafford."

The Home Office has confirmed that it will collect information from all relevant sources before deciding whether to contact UEFA on this matter.

However, the reaction in Germany was different. The chairman of the German Football Association stood up and sarcastically said: "If Manchester United fans don't behave too much before the game, what will Bayern fans do after the game? How innocent is the dead policeman?" !”

Regarding the pre-match, there were indeed many things that happened. Before the match, Bayern and Manchester United were aware of the tension in the atmosphere, and both introduced some suggestions to avoid conflicts. For example, Manchester United repeatedly warned fans to avoid places where Bayern fans like to gather. However, an extreme fan group of Bayern still issued remarks about attacking Manchester United fans before the game, which made the game cloudy before the game.

Before the game, there was a fierce "street war" between fans from both sides. According to eyewitnesses at the time, there were about 300 Manchester United fans at the time, and many of them were obviously drunk. The number of Bayern fans involved in the brawl was much higher. However, it is still unclear what caused the fight.

In this fight, many Manchester United fans were injured, and one of them even suffered serious neck injuries. After the police calmed down the situation slightly, the fan was immediately sent to the hospital. However, he is still not out of danger and is still dying. Line struggles.

From this, it is not difficult to imagine that conflicts will break out again after the game...

Dong Fangzhuo felt that this matter was not a simple matter. He took the initiative to contact Manchester United TV and did an exclusive interview. In the interview, Dong Fangzhuo called on fans to stay rational and protect themselves when going to watch away games. He felt that it was risky. Risking one's life to watch football is a pretty stupid act...

Although the conflict and death made Manchester United's victory seem a bit heavy, the English media still covered the Champions League frantically the next day.

"The Times" directly compared the two games played last night, "In London, Arsenal lost completely. Not only did they fail to win AC Milan at home, but they lost 2:3 at the stadium. Last year's The Champions League runner-up looks like saying goodbye to the Champions League early. Poor defense is the reason why Wenger cannot lead the team to the semi-finals. If they go to San Siro, they cannot have any hope."

"At the Allianz Arena in Munich, Manchester United once again played a stunning ending. After conquering the Nou Camp and the Bernabeu, they conquered the Allianz Arena again. Although the game process was very difficult and a goal was misjudged by the referee. But Manchester United still left with victory. Now, they can wait for Bayern Munich at home. As long as the referee's mediocre performance does not repeat, Manchester United has actually stepped into the threshold of the semi-finals."

"Of course, we also want to be the policeman who passed away in Munich. His sacrifice protected Manchester United fans. Furthermore, we call on English fans to exercise restraint when they go to watch football abroad and stay away from other fans. Never Let tragedy happen again."

"The Times" is not optimistic about Wenger's team at all. Although Wenger led Arsenal to the Champions League runner-up last year, Wenger's team has been disappointing year after year. This year's Arsenal is Whether it's the league or the cup, no battlefield is going smoothly.

"The Times" was optimistic about Chelsea that night, believing that the stumbling Chelsea could go further in the Champions League. "Chelsea has basically no hope of winning the league. They will definitely compete with Inter Milan in the Champions League. As for Liverpool, they may really not be able to beat Barcelona because they are not Manchester United."

The prediction of "The Times" really came true that night. Liverpool was tied by Barcelona at home, while Chelsea won Inter Milan away from home. In the Premier League Big 4, the two away teams won, but the two home teams did not win. This result is simply too surprising...

※※※※

The two legs of the Champions League quarter-finals are very close together. Unlike the quarter-finals, which are two weeks apart, the quarter-finals are only one week apart. In other words, after Manchester United played Portsmouth away at the weekend, they will play the second leg at home with Bayern Munich in the middle of next week.

Therefore, when Ferguson played Portsmouth away at the weekend, he made a large rotation in the lineup. Only four players started in the Champions League this week, namely Brown, Vidic, Ferdinand and Mo Derich. Brown starts mainly with no one to replace him at right back. Vidic and Ferdinand must have problems with the stability of the defense. As for Modric, he is the brains of the midfield. No one who Ferguson replaces wants to replace him.

None of Manchester United's front three appeared, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who defeated Bayern Munich in the Champions League, didn't even make the squad.

But the game process was far from being as simple as Ferguson imagined. Manchester United's substitutes did not bring surprises to Ferguson after the game started.

Although there were as many as 10 shots in the entire first half, none of them threatened Portsmouth's goal. Fifteen minutes into the second half, Ferguson finally pushed Rooney and Dong Fangzhuo up, but at this time It also rained heavily, and the poor venue made it difficult for the Manchester United players. As a result, at the last moment, the Portsmouth players actually poked the ball into the Manchester United goal during the melee.

Manchester United actually lost unexpectedly! 0:1, bad weather, bad results, bad day!

On the other side, Chelsea relied on a long shot from center back Carvalho to win 1:0 at home against Tottenham Hotspur, which naturally narrowed the points gap with Manchester United to 3 points.

Of course, it is actually 3.5 points, because Manchester United's huge goal advantage is unmatched by Chelsea. So even if the score is the same, Manchester United is still the champion, so 3.5 points is very reasonable.

"This means that as long as we win against Manchester United at home and wait for Manchester United to make another mistake, we can regain the initiative in the league." Mourinho naturally sees hope of winning the league again.

"I hope Manchester United will encounter more trouble before the penultimate round of the showdown..."
