1 Looking at the achievements of European giants in the past five years, Manchester United deserved to rank first. Perhaps five years ago, the results of Schalke and Manchester United may be hard to guess, because Ferguson had not learned from his mistakes at that time. In his lineup, it will always be the classic 442 of the British Isles, and the defensive pressure is too great. It is precisely because Manchester United was eliminated by AC Milan twice in a row. Or 45 1 used to learn from continental Europe, and 433 popular in European football at that time. Now it can be said that only Ferguson and Mourinho can use the formation, 442 45 1 433, and the essence of every tactic is deeply imprinted in Ferguson's mind, especially after the formation of 45 1 is skillfully used in away games, Manchester United rarely seems to lose away games. Moreover, my friend, it seems that Manchester United lost to Milan 3-0 in the 2006-07 season at the San Siro only once in recent years. No matter at the Nou Camp San Siro or at the Olympic Stadium, they have never lost because of such a big score. Of course, losing to Barcelona in the final of the 2008-09 season is a kind of pain. ) Friend, I don't know where you got such great confidence in Schalke. As for the home of Manchester United in the second leg, my friend, you must have heard of the degree of terror.
2 Schalke's performance this season is really eye-catching, especially the elimination of the once-mighty triple crown Inter Milan last season, but please note that Inter Milan is now suffering from serious internal friction and the player's state is declining, which is far from last season. The most crucial issue is that last season's triple crown Inter Milan had a great coach Mourinho, which is unmatched by the current Inter Milan coach. Not only did he fail to bring the team well, but he also made a mess of the locker room. For an inappropriate analogy, if Schalke played against Inter Milan last season, what do you think are the chances of promotion? And Manchester United, Manchester United will always be monolithic. When did you hear the rumor of Manchester United's internal friction? Manchester United will never give up. If you find a team that can only compete with Manchester United in the Bundesliga, it can only be Bayern in terms of temperament and heritage. Don't be the second team, just want to.
The gap between Schalke and Manchester United lies in: European experience, Sir Alex Ferguson.
I only represent my personal opinion, and I hope I won't be scolded.
