Chapter 319 The Terminator
March 2005th, 2006-20 season League No.1 eighth round, J** Stadium, Wigan 2:[-] Manchester United!

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a superb direct free-kick to open the scoring for United, but Wigan striker McCulloch took advantage of a second-half free-kick to equalize with a header.

Li Rui did not play in this game. Manchester United will save their strength for the Champions League match against Real Madrid in the middle of next week. When the game entered the stoppage time period, Cassano hit the goal post with a shot After rebounding from the top, Wigan defender Zimbunda, who was defended back, crashed into his own goal and scored an own goal.Manchester United were lucky to get 3 points in the away game.

In the post-match press conference, Ferguson was not stingy with his praise for the home team Wigan. However, in the media reports the next day, it was considered to be an excuse for Manchester United's difficult victory... …

…………

After this game, everyone was talking about Manchester United's Champions League round of [-] clash with Real Madrid at Old Trafford, their home ground.

Now, in the Premier League, Manchester United is 5 points behind the top Chelsea and 2 point behind the No.1 Arsenal. It can be said that they still retain the hope of competing for the championship; , but to repay the debt for the poor performance in the first half of the season. Now, with 12 rounds left in the league, Real Madrid is 11 points behind the top Barcelona. Real Madrid fans are also not optimistic about Real Madrid's big reversal. You must know that under the leadership of Ronaldinho, the performance of this Barcelona team this season can only be described as horror. On par with Cruyff's Dream Team...

Therefore, for Real Madrid now, only the champion of the Champions League is the biggest goal. In this game, the media generally believe that Real Madrid will explode with unprecedented momentum.

And Manchester United has not been at the top of Europe for a long time after winning the Big Ear Cup in 1999. Therefore, Manchester United will not stay for the league in this game. It can be seen that Li Rui placed Li Rui in the stands. Manchester United must win Real Madrid at home. At the same time, Manchester United must try to avoid clean sheets!

…………

However, according to the judgment of the betting company before the game, it seems that Real Madrid is more optimistic. Ronaldo is in good form, and Zidane also wants to have a happy ending in the last season of his career. These are the factors that gave birth to the outbreak of Real Madrid .

This game, which is considered to be at the final level of the Champions League, certainly attracted the attention of all the media without any surprise.

"The Times" listed three things to watch:
The first is of course who can eliminate the opponent and enter the quarter-finals. It can be said that whether it is Manchester United or Real Madrid, as long as they can eliminate the opponent and enter the next round, it will greatly improve the team's self-confidence. The champion goes one step further.

The second is Real Madrid's No. 23 player Beckham. In fact, the whole of England is hyping Beckham's visit to Old Trafford on behalf of Real Madrid. This player trained by Manchester United and the captain of the England national team , played for Manchester United for 11 years, and has always been the darling of Manchester United fans. After falling out with Ferguson, he finally moved to Real Madrid. However, now, Beckham has returned to Old Trafford again. What kind of attitude will the fans use to welcome Beckham, and what kind of performance will the former Manchester United No. 7 return to Old Trafford? , which is the focus of media attention.

It can even be said that Beckham's return to Old Trafford, in the eyes of the English media, is even more important than whether Manchester United can eliminate Real Madrid and enter the quarterfinals.

In England, the national team captain is definitely the real focus!

…………

The third is related to Li Rui. Before the start of the second round of the one-eighth knockout match, Li Rui said in an interview with the media that he hoped to help Manchester United eliminate Real Madrid, saying that this game He has been waiting for a long time, and it is his greatest wish to end the championship journey of the Galacticos this season.

In fact, Li Rui did not say a word. This stems from his admiration for superstars like Zidane. This is Zidane's last season. Li Rui has an ambition. He wants to become a terminator , to personally help the team send this 'ball king' away, this idea may be a bit evil, but it makes Li Rui's blood boil like a virgin's faintly fragrant body, he really wants to do this!
Although Zidane's name was not mentioned, the explosive power of Li Rui's words that he wanted to help the team end the "Galaxy Battleship" can be imagined. After the game, the Real Madrid fans appreciated the young man's beautiful performance, so now, Li Rui can be said to have offended the Real Madrid fans.

Now, the sky over Madrid is full of voices condemning a brat who is arrogant!
Li Rui's rare big mouth added fuel to the fire for the second round.

…………

These three highlights, no matter what they are, are enough to cause a huge sensation. As for the tickets for this game, they were all sold out soon after the results of the draw for one-eighth of the games at that time came out.

On March [-]th, it was rainy, and the rain in Manchester had never been so disturbing. However, on this rainy day, the whole city was plunged into a sea of ​​red passion.

More than 7 Manchester United fans, wearing scarves around their necks, holding banners and team flags, poured into Old Trafford in droves.

This famous industrial city in England is almost empty on this day. Of course, Manchester City fans are not counted. Everyone rushed to Old Trafford. They are welcoming someone and recalling a long and turbulent time... Many of them watched that young boy step by step towards a period of glory. Now, this man named David Beckham is back ...

On March [-]th, at Old Trafford, the night was a bit cold, cloudy and rainy, and the drizzle was like silk...
