Arsenal fans have reasons to find excuses for the team, but Manchester United fans can only comfort themselves in their hearts.

Giving up is actually a helpless decision, but you can only accept it. The spring in Carrington has not yet arrived, and everyone is particularly eager to play against Newcastle United.

Because everyone knows that the dream of chasing the league championship has been shattered, and the FA Cup is the only hope left.

Although I only had a week off, everyone could not wait.

Only by advancing to the finals can you comfort your soul slightly. If you get used to winning the championship every season, no second place will be satisfactory.

Even if Manchester United is in the second place in the league standings now, no one will feel excited. Manchester United's goal is always to win, and as long as there is no championship, it is failure.

Chelsea made great strides in the league and won the championship. The FA Cup has become the last hope of Manchester United and Arsenal this season. Ferguson also seized the opportunity to start a psychological battle, denounced that it was a bad decision to hold the semi-finals this weekend at Cardiff Millennium Stadium, and it was Arsenal who prompted the FA to make this decision.

“We are actively preparing for the FA Cup semifinals on the weekend, but we will be in a bad situation at Cardiff Millennium Stadium where we will be almost all Newcastle fans.”

"We have to go there after a long trek, and I really can't understand the FA's decision," Ferguson said in an interview with Manchester Radio.

These words are just the preparation for Sir Jaycee. His real purpose is to put pressure on the FA and Arsenal before the game: "It is obviously Arsenal who forced the FA to make this decision. They are afraid of playing against us at Villa Park, so they hope that the semi-finals can be held at Cardiff Stadium. They are too whimsical. Manchester United will reach the finals, and they will wait for the fourth game of the season to fail! They will have nothing this season, and Manchester United will at least have the League Cup and FA Cup championships."

Villa Park is a blessed place for Manchester United in the FA Cup. Last year, Manchester United eliminated Arsenal at Villa Park, shattering the Gunners' dream of a triple-champion. However, with Arsenal's participation, Manchester United can only play against Newcastle United at Cardiff Stadium.

Last weekend's league match, Manchester United lost to Norwich, who was relegated 0-2 away, performed a lot and said goodbye to the league champion. Ferguson tried his best to lead the low-spirited Manchester United to make a difference in the FA Cup. This move is a trick to transfer pressure and also put pressure on the FA.

Arsenal coach Wenger retaliated against Ferguson's difficulties: "We don't want the semi-finals to be played at Cardiff. You should know that when you are playing both semi-finals and finals on the same field, there will be a lot of passion."

The French think this will reduce the sacredness of the final: "This makes the final less special, and it wouldn't feel good if both games were in Cardiff."

Manchester United is currently the English team with the most FA Cups, with 11 successful results. The last two championships have been advanced by Arsenal in the semi-finals. In 1999, Giggs scored the most beautiful goal in the history of the FA Cup.

Arsenal maintained the record of the most finals and semi-finals, reaching the finals in a total of 16 times and reaching the semi-finals 24 times, of which 16 times reached the finals were tied for first place with Manchester United. The two most successful teams in FA Cup history may be a break in 2005.

Arsenal has already entered the final first, and they are waiting for Manchester United, but Manchester United will first win against Newcastle United.

Because of the poor league results, Newcastle United fired Robson directly after the winter break.

Although the old coach Robson was missing, Newcastle United became more united and had stronger combat effectiveness. He replaced Robson's assistant coach and rebuild Newcastle United into a strong team in the Premier League.

But none of this made Ferguson feel real pressure, the real pressure came from the inside of the club.

After being eliminated in the Champions League, giving up the Premier League champion, and even being humiliated by relegation rival Norwich last week, Manchester United captain Roy Keane was furious, and he bombarded his teammates without doing his best in the game.

Originally, these things could only be said in the locker room, but Keane accepted an interview with the media, which made Manchester United lose their composure before the game against Newcastle.

Manchester United's locker room did not look as harmonious as expected. Keane, who was already injured, could ignore Manchester United's affairs. However, the Manchester United captain sat in front of the TV and watched the team lose 0:2 to Norwich, who was relegated, and the hot Keane publicly expressed his anger towards his teammates to the media: "We can make some excuses, but the fans are already annoyed by this set. Our performance is not that we are not good enough, but that we are extremely bad."

Keane believes that many players did not do their best in the game: "I think what is important is that you have invested 100% in the game? You can ask yourself, have you tried your best in the game? I don't think everyone dares to say that they have done this. Not only the players, but also the club staff, do they honestly say that they have done it? This is like a crime."

Now that Manchester United is in crisis, Keane said: "Everyone should try to ensure their position in the club. Having good players and having good teams are two concepts. We have good players, but it is obvious that they don't have a good work attitude, which is a waste of time."

"After having a lot of young players, it's important to form a team, but if you don't consider the team, then I'm sure you won't get anything, the standings won't cheat, the game results won't cheat, what we've done in the past few weeks."

"You need to have the desire to win, your honor comes from good performance for Manchester United, the team spirit needs to be rebuilt, you need to be down-to-earth on the court, and laughing in the locker room is good, but if you are always so hipster on the court, you can leave."

"I think fans have had enough of some people's performances. We need to work consistently every day, whether the opponent is Newcastle, Norwich or AC Milan, all go 100% of the game. If you enter the field and think the game is easy, you are not far from losing, that's everything that happens, you can't expect to win football in this way."

Keane's anger actually reflects the crisis mentality of the Manchester United captain, but who is he scolding? There are many young players in Manchester United now, including Fletcher, Rooney, Rooney and Dong Fangzhuo. But Keane's anger does not seem to be aimed at them, maybe it's just because Ferguson wants to introduce Park Ji-sung? Otherwise, why would he get angry in front of the media...

anger!

Ferguson did not expect that Keane would be interviewed in front of the media without his permission! Even if Keane said everything was right, the time and place were inappropriate.

Ferguson was annoyed!

It seems that Keane is going to cause trouble at the end of this season...

However, what Ferguson did not expect was that when Dong Fangzhuo attended the pre-match press conference, he said something that made Ferguson very dissatisfied.

"The captain is right."

In terms of emotion and reason, Dong Fangzhuo felt that he should support Keen...

"If each of us worked hard and serious like the captain, Manchester United would be much better now."

Oh? Reverse Boy? Ferguson was surprised.

Why?
