Manchester United defeated Chelsea 3-0 at home. Mourinho was not complacent. On the contrary, he quickly shifted his attention to the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals and the FA Cup semi-finals.

Although they defeated Anderlecht 3:1 in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals away from home, it does not mean that they will surely advance to the semi-finals of the Europa League.

Don't be afraid of any eventuality, just be afraid of ten thousand, and be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

In addition, the FA Cup semi-finals as a guest at Stamford Bridge must be treated seriously. A double defeat of Chelsea in the league does not mean that they can win in the cup. As Conte said, past games cannot represent the future.

Except for the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals and the FA Cup semi-finals, Manchester United also distracts from the remaining league matches.

However, there is also good news for Mourinho. He is 14 points ahead of Chelsea in the league and can completely focus on preparations for the FA Cup semi-finals and the Europa League knockout rounds.

After all, there are only six rounds left in the league, and Chelsea, which is 14 points behind, has only a theoretical possibility of a comeback. To put it bluntly, even if Manchester United loses all the last six league rounds, Chelsea may not win the league championship.

The 2016-2017 Premier League season ended with 33 rounds. Manchester United ranked first in the league with 29 wins, 3 draws and 90 points with one game less. Chelsea, who also had one game less, ranked second with 25 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses and 76 points. Tottenham, who are ranked third, are ranked third with 71 points with 21 wins, 8 draws and 4 losses. They are 19 points behind Manchester United and have no theoretical possibility of winning the championship.

Manchester City and Liverpool, who were beaten by Manchester United at home and away, have fewer points, 62 points and 60 points respectively. Arsenal, the four-way madman, ranks sixth with 59 points.

Manchester United still has the last six rounds, and the points have reached 90 points, which is 6 points away from the new Premier League points record. The British media and European mainstream media are optimistic that Mourinho will surpass the single-season points record set by Chelsea when he coached, and may even surpass it. Became the first team to score 100 points since the establishment of the Premier League.

The leading striker Van Kerry was also mentioned by the media. He has scored 46 goals this season, which is only four short of the single-season scoring record set by Messi in the five major European leagues. There is a high probability of breaking the record set by Messi. , and is only 14 goals away from the 60 goals scored most in a single season in the British top flight.

However, because there are too few league rounds, the possibility of Van Carey trying to hit the 60 goals created by Dixie Dean in a single season is not too high. He scored 14 goals in six games. Evenly divided, he would have to score five goals every two games to achieve the goal. new record.

Four days later, Manchester United faced the challenge of Anderlecht at home. Van Carey performed as well as ever in the red-blue battle. He scored a goal in each half to help Manchester United defeat the menacing Anderlecht 2:1 at home. , advanced to the Europa League finals this season with a total score of 5:2.

And he also became the MVP of the Europa League quarterfinals because of his four goals in two rounds.

The Europa League semi-final draw was held at UEFA headquarters in Nyon at noon the next day. Before that, the Champions League semi-final draw was held.

The two teams from Madrid met in the semi-finals. Monaco and Juventus were naturally drawn together. The two Champions League semi-final draws ended, followed by the Europa League semi-final draw.

Mourinho became nervous while sitting in front of the TV watching the Europa League semi-final draw. The teams that advanced to the Europa League semi-finals this season are strong and can be defeated, but they are very difficult to defeat.

Lyon, Ajax and Celta Vigo.

Van Carey didn't care at all. For him, he could draw anyone.

Ajax, who are paying attention to the Europa League semi-final draw, said that they can draw anyone, except Manchester United.

It's not that Manchester United is the strongest and wants to avoid it, but that Van Kerry, who came from the Ajax youth training, was drawn against Ajax in the Europa League semi-finals and did not meet in the final, which had a sense of ceremony.

The draw hasn't started yet, and Van Kerry can probably guess who will be drawn in the semifinals, because the Europa League final in my memory this season is Manchester United and Ajax, which means that it is impossible for the two teams to meet in the semifinals. as expected!

The first team to be drawn is Ajax, then Lyon.

Celta Vigo and Manchester United were automatically paired. Taking into account the home and away sequence of the two rounds of knockout rounds, the drawing of the two teams had to continue. The team drawn first was home and then away. Manchester United was lucky. Celta was drawn first, and Let’s just say that Manchester United is the guest first and then the host.

The draws for the Champions League semi-finals and the Europa League semi-finals have ended, and the mainstream media in Europe have focused on their future final opponents.

Compared with the Champions League, the Europa League has received far less attention. If Manchester United had not advanced to the semi-finals, the level of attention would have been even lower.

The Champions League final can be said to be the most valuable game in world football, be it Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Monaco or Juventus.

Real Madrid is the defending champion of the Champions League. Last season's Champions League final defeated its local rival Atletico Madrid in a penalty shootout. This season's Champions League semi-final meeting will definitely be another exciting contest where Mars collides with the earth.

Monaco has suddenly emerged this season, ranking first in the league, and eliminated Manchester City and Dortmund in the Champions League knockout rounds. It cannot be said that they are lucky to advance to the Champions League semi-finals. Their overall strength is very outstanding, and they are advancing all the way under the leadership of veteran Falcao and little demon Mbappe..

Mbappe, who has performed well in the Champions League and Ligue 1 this season, has naturally been compared with Van Kerry by the media. Mbappe was born in December 1998 and is the youngest appearance record holder and goal record holder in the history of Monaco. , has contributed 15 goals and 11 assists in 29 league appearances so far, and 6 goals in 9 Champions League games.

Fan Kerry was born in February 1999. He has set many records with the title of youngest, scoring consecutive goals in a row, setting the Premier League single-season scoring record as a pioneer. He contributed 46 goals and 18 assists in 31 league games and 8 assists in 6 Europa League games. Ball 1 assist.

The Europa League is not as influential as the Champions League, so Mbappe’s contribution is more convincing than Van Kerry’s average of more than one goal per game in the Europa League. However, Van Kerry’s performance in the Premier League is dominant, and the excitement and level of the Premier League are relatively high. Ligue 1 is high, and there is a dispute between the French media, the British media, and the Dutch media.

In the end, is Fan Kerry stronger or Mbappe stronger.

There are endless debates on this point. The person involved, Fan Kerry, is very open-minded, or has a further goal. His goal is to surpass Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi as the best in the world!

Another client, Mbappe, while marveling at Van Kerry's performance in the Premier League, was also very confident in his abilities. He believed... that he was the most powerful player under the age of 20!

The media reports did not attract any attention from Van Kerry, because... he still had to prepare with the team for the FA Cup semi-finals at Stamford Bridge the next day.

One game determines the outcome!

With the League Cup champion and the league champion basically in hand, the FA Cup, the oldest in Great Britain, must be won!

After all, the competition format has reached the semi-finals, and the next step is the finals.

Advance to the semi-finals of the Europa League and then the final. If you win both competitions, plus the Community Shield you won at the beginning of the season, you will be a five-time champion.

It’s a crazy championship glory just thinking about it!

Therefore, Van Kerry's preparations at the Carrington training base were in very good condition, which also gave Mourinho hope of defeating Chelsea again.
