Beckenbauer, whose hair was already pale, held down the frame and sat back in his position with some weakness, without opening his mouth for a long time.

For some reason, he always thought of the ending of Real Madrid.

1:2 at home, I was so lucky that I went to Manchester United at home. Is there really hope?

He had to think so.

Historically, such home scores, when playing away games, the chance of turning around is less than 18%. He doesn't think Bayern Munich has such good luck, especially the strength of this Manchester United team is beyond his thinking range.

But this is just his personal thought. He cannot express the depression in his heart. Coach Heathfield is an old friend. He has done quite well. He himself doesn't know what changes this team needs to make.

Slap,

In the distance, in the stands opposite, he seemed to be in chaos, and he stared quietly for several seconds.

Why, the fight started?

Yes, Bayern Munich fans seemed to have fought with Manchester United fans, and then the security on the spot intervened, and the scene became very chaotic in an instant...

It's really bad!

He sighed again, turned around and walked out of the rostrum coldly.

What can he do if such a thing?

Beckenbauer left, but the stadium was still in riots. How could the weak Manchester United fans be the opponent? Security guards could not deal with so many Bayern fans. In the end, they could only surround more than 200 Manchester United fans and escort them out, saying they were escorts, but they were all arrested in the end...

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

A policeman was beaten to death, but it was done by Bayern fans!

tragedy!

Ferguson immediately turned cold and ended the press conference. Because all the glory seemed meaningless in front of a dead person. Originally, he wanted to talk about the referee's penalty issue at the press conference, but now he is confused about this seems meaningless...

※※※※

“It’s crazy,”

"I didn't expect that such a thing would happen in Germany."

The police were beaten to death soon spread to the locker room, and Ronaldo and others began to discuss it.

"I thought such an accident would only happen in a poor country, but I didn't expect it." Rooney also joined the discussion.

"But fans in our country go to other places to watch football games, they really need to be careful. Foreign media have reported that British football hooligans always discredit our fans' image. In fact, aren't there many such guys in their country?" Rooney analyzed the problem rationally for the first time. This guy himself is like a gangster, and now he has become a bit impressive.

"There are football hooligans everywhere. It's not that developed countries are very quiet. In fact, they are full and have nothing to do. Over-fanity always leads to extremes..." Dong Fangzhuo is more rational. "I heard that there are many Manchester United fans arrested. I don't know what to do. I guess it's a fine. Damn, there will always be some terrifying things happening every time the Champions League knockout stage. It's still safe to stay at home."

Manchester United rushed back to Manchester overnight. As for those Manchester United fans, it was said that the Munich police station only arrested 18 fans in the end, and the others were released directly.

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

The statement said the actions of Bayern Munich fans were "seriously excessive". The statement said: "The club warmly welcomes the government's investigation into the matter, and we will also collect evidence through the fans present and hand it over to the UK Ministry of the Interior."

The statement also said: "Bayern Munich fans keep beating Manchester United fans, and this situation shocked everyone in Old Trafford."

The UK Home Office has confirmed that they will collect information from all relevant channels before deciding whether to contact UEFA on this.

However, the reaction in Germany was different. The German Football Association chairman stood up and sarcastically said: "If Manchester United fans did not act too aggressively before the game, would Bayern fans do this after the game? How innocent the dead policeman is!"

There are indeed many things happening before the game. Before the game, Bayern and Manchester United realized the tension of the atmosphere and introduced some suggestions to avoid conflicts. For example, Manchester United repeatedly warned fans to avoid places where Bayern fans like to gather. However, an extremist fan organization in Bayern still made remarks about attacking Manchester United fans before the game, which made the game cloudy before the game.

Before the game, there were fierce "street wars" between fans on both sides. According to witnesses at the time, there were about 300 Manchester United fans at that time, and many of them were obviously drunk. The number of Bayern fans involved in the fight was much higher. However, it is not clear what the cause of the fight was.

During the fight, several Manchester United fans were injured, one of whom was even seriously injured in the neck. After the police calmed the situation slightly, the fan was immediately sent to the hospital, but he is still not out of danger and is still struggling on the brink of death.

Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that there will be another conflict after the game...

Dong Fangzhuo felt that this matter was not a simple matter. He took the initiative to contact Manchester United TV and conducted an exclusive interview. During the interview, Dong Fangzhuo called on fans to be rational and protect themselves when they went to watch games away. He felt that risking his life to watch the game was a pretty idiot...

Although the conflict and death made Manchester United's victory look a bit heavy, the English media reported crazily on the Champions League the next day.

The Times directly compared the two games played last night. "In London, Arsenal lost individuals. Not only did they not win AC Milan at home, they lost 2:3 at the stadium. Last year's Champions League runner-up seemed to say goodbye to the Champions League in advance. The bad defense is why Wenger was unable to lead the team to the semi-finals. If they went to San Siro, they would not have any hope."

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

"Of course, we also want the policeman who passed away from Munich. His sacrifice protected Manchester United fans. In addition, we call on English fans to keep restrained when watching football abroad and stay away from the opponent's fans. We should never let the tragedy happen again."

The Times is not optimistic about Wenger's team at all. Although Wenger led Arsenal to the second place in the Champions League last year, Wenger's team is disappointing year by year. There is no battlefield in Arsenal this year, whether in the league or the cup.

The Times is optimistic about Chelsea that night, believing that Chelsea, who is stumbling, can go further in the Champions League. "Chelsea has basically no hope of winning the championship in the league. They will definitely fight 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 Times' prediction was really fulfilled that night. Liverpool was tied by Barcelona at home, while Chelsea won Inter Milan away. Premier League big4, two teams playing away won, and two teams playing home failed. This result was simply too unexpected...

※※※※

The two-leg matches in the Champions League quarter-finals are very close, unlike the quarter-finals with two weeks, and the quarter-finals are only one week apart. In other words, after Manchester United played Portsmouth away on the weekend, they will play the second leg with Bayern Munich at home mid-week next week.

Therefore, when Ferguson played Portsmouth away on the weekend, he had a large rotation in the lineup. Only four players who started in the Champions League this week were Brown, Vidic, Ferdinand and Modric. Brown's starting lineup was mainly right-back no one replaced him. Vidic and Ferdinand must be a question of defense stability. As for Modric, this is the midfield brain, and no one wants to replace Ferguson.

Manchester United's front-court Tridents did not make any appearance, and Ronaldo, who defeated Bayern Munich in the Champions League, even failed to make the roster.

But the game process is far from as simple as Ferguson imagined. Manchester United's substitutes did not surprise Ferguson after the game began.

Although there were as many as 10 shots in the first half, no one threatened Portsmouth's goal. After fifteen minutes of the second half, Ferguson finally pushed Rooney and Dong Fangzhuo up, but it started to rain heavily at this time. The poor field made Manchester United players difficult. As a result, at the last moment, Portsmouth's players actually stabbed the ball into Manchester United's goal in a melee.

Manchester United actually lost the game in an upset! 0:1, Bad weather, Bad results, Bad day!

On the other hand, Chelsea won Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at home with a long shot from central defender Carvalho, which naturally narrowed the gap with Manchester United to 3 points.

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

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