On the night that New Manchester United defeated the Freelancers Club, another match in the match, Ajax Cape Town drew 2-2 with Mimosa Abidjan, which made New Manchester United top the league table with 3 points.

Two days later, the new Manchester United challenged the Abidjan Mimosa.

Drogba, who started again on behalf of the team, faced the team from his homeland and showed a very strong desire to score goals. He was very active throughout the game, but the Abidjan Mimosa is not a fuel-efficient lamp, especially When the new Manchester United players generally did not enter the game, they caused a lot of trouble for the new Manchester United.

When the first half was tied 0-0, Mourinho made a decisive change in the second half and replaced Olic with Palacio. The two central midfielders were Arau Diarra. And De Rossi, the two wingers are Ribery and Wright Phillips, the back line reuses Evra as the left back, Chiellini and Curtis as the center back, and Hangeland as the right back , Cech replaces Almunia.

In the first 20 minutes of successive substitutions, the new Manchester United's performance was chaotic, especially Chiellini, who served as central defender, made a mistake that caused the team to concede the goal in the 58th minute.

But Mourinho still chose to change his team. He let the players suppress opponents on the pitch, especially the central midfielder composed of De Rossi and Arau Diarra, who firmly suppressed the midfielder of Abidjan Mimosa. The field organization, coupled with Curtis's occasional advance, made Abidjan Mimosa's attack completely suppressed.

The opponent was suppressed, the new Manchester United's offensive gradually played out.

The double forwards formed by Palacio and Olic are both very fast. The former is more skilled, the latter has a wider range of movement, and his physical confrontation ability is not weak. In addition, Ribery inserted in the back row. And Wright Phillips, the new Manchester United gradually turned the situation around.

In the 81st minute, Evra stole the ball from the new Manchester United and passed it to De Rossi to attack. After receiving the ball from the left, Ribery cut inward after passing one of the opponent's players, attracting the opponent's central defender and then making a pass. After remembering the ball, Palacio got rid of the defense and scored a single shot, 1:1!

After the equalizer, the new Manchester United became more imposing, but Abi let the Mimosa formation gradually retracted, making the situation on the field one-sided, but the new Manchester United never turned the advantage into a goal, and could only watch the opponent from Take a point from your own hands.

That night, at the same stadium, the freelancers unexpectedly beat Ajax Cape Town, Yaya Toure was active, scoring a long shot and setting up a teammate to score, while Kolo Tuure was active. Ray is as stable as ever.

The final score is 2:1!

After two rounds, the new Manchester United ranked first with 4 points, freelancers ranked second with 3 points, Abidjan Mimosa and Cape Town Ajax tied for third.

In the third round, the new Manchester United faced Cape Town Ajax. Although the latter was very tenacious in the game, it still failed to prevent the new Manchester United from winning the game. The score was 1:0 for Mourinho Somewhat depressing, because according to the performance of the team, the score should be bigger.

The game between Freelancers and Abidjan Mimosa was intense. In the first half, the two sides tied 2:2. In the second half, Abidjan Mimosa scored the first goal, but Colo Toure added an assist from the right flank. Teammates score, helping freelancers level the score.

It's a pity that, before the end of the game, Abidjan Mimosa's players once again got a chance in the penalty area, but was tripped by the freelance center back in the penalty area. The referee awarded a penalty, Abidjan Mimosa's forward Take the penalty personally, 3:4!

So far, the 6 games of the Ghana Charity Tournament have all ended. New Manchester United ranked first with 7 points, Abidjan Mimosa ranked second with 4 points, Freelancers ranked third with 3 points, Cape Town Ajax Only 1 point to the bottom.

According to the pre-match agreement, in addition to the appearance fee, each team will be given a corresponding bonus according to the ranking, but the new Manchester United donated all the bonus to the Red Rebel Charity Foundation,

Donated by the latter to the families of the victims of the riots at the Ghana Stadium.

According to Mark David's statistics, these 6 games attracted a total of about 100,000 fans to watch the game, and according to the average ticket price of 10 US dollars, the ticket revenue of this charity game alone has created 1 million US dollars , plus other matchday revenue and sponsorships, is expected to raise nearly $1.5 million.

After deducting necessary expenses such as expenses and appearance fees, the remaining one million US dollars will be handed over to the Red Rebel Charity Foundation, and the latter will also hand over all the money to the victims within a week after receiving the money. in the hands of the family.

This matter has caused a lot of attention in Africa and Europe.

The riot in the stadium in Ghana, where more than 130 fans lost their lives, is well known to the world. There are also many organizations that have expressed sympathy for the tragedy and offered help to the families of the victims, but the new Manchester United is undoubtedly leading the way in the field of football. Their move has also attracted the attention of other clubs in Europe, and even many sponsors have also participated in it.

Although Africa's economy is still relatively backward, the market potential of this land is gradually becoming known. Whether it is to do charity or just use the name of charity as a breakthrough to enter Africa, these are not important, important. Yes, they help the poor who live here.

After returning from Ghana, Kolo Toure also returned to Manchester with the team, while his younger brother Yaya Toure was taken to Belgium by the new Manchester United scouts.

The last two seasons of the Genk team in the Bundesliga have been very bad. In 1998-99, they won the Bundesliga championship, but in 1999-00 they fell to the 8th place in the league. Last season, they even It was on the verge of relegation for a time, and although it rebounded in the end, it only ranked 11th in the league.

The Genk team intends to restructure the team this season, but they have been struggling to find a midfielder who can attack and defend well. At this time, a scout under the new Manchester United took the initiative to recommend Yaya Toure to them. , their head coach just looked at the video and immediately decided to loan the Ivorian player and promised to entrust him with the task.

The new Manchester United signed a loan agreement with Genk. Yaya Toure will go to Genk on loan for one year, and the latter will pay Yaya Toure's salary. After a year, Genk has the renewal of the loan. One-year priority, but the new Manchester United refused to buy out.

Before Yaya Toure left for Belgium, Xiao Yu and Mourinho both talked to him one after another, saying that the club loaned him just because he could not apply for a labor certificate at present, and even if he went to England, he would not be able to represent the team. , Loan is the best option, and during the loan period, the club will also pay attention to his game and progress.

Xiao Yu has already begun to let the laboratory pay attention to Yaya Toure, and at the same time let the scouts in charge of the Belgian area pay attention to his games. He wants to know everything about the Ivorian teenager closely.

Although he heard that he was on loan, Yaya Toure was not very interested, but after Xiao Yu and Mourinho's explanation and assurance, he also repeatedly stated that he would work hard to improve his strength and strive to join the national team as soon as possible. Played on behalf of the national team.

And frankly speaking, going to the Belgian League One is not necessarily worse than going to the English League Two. After all, the latter has also received a lot of attention, and Genk is also a stronger team than the League One, but Yaya Toure is still I think it's better to play on the same team as my brother.

After returning to Manchester, the new Manchester United began to invest in intense pre-season preparation training, and the club also specially arranged three warm-up games, as well as the Newton Heath Cup before the season.

The cup was jointly applied to the FA last year by New Manchester United and Droysden, and was approved. It will become a charity friendly match before each season between the two teams, and the proceeds will be used for Charity.

Last year it was held at the Butcher's Knife Stadium in Droyston and this year it will be played at the new Manchester United City Stadium.

Before it even started, the Commerce Department of the new Manchester United had already started to promote this game, and it was a charity game, so the price of the tickets was not high. Tickets have been sold out.

According to the investigation of the Ministry of Commerce of the new Manchester United, the scalpers outside have even raised the price of the tickets to three times the selling price, and they are still in high demand. It can be predicted that the home attendance of the new Manchester United this season is still worth looking forward to. .

The average ticket price for the new Manchester United this season is tentatively set at £15, which is the lowest ticket price in the League Two, but if all 14,000 seats can be filled, then the ticket revenue per game alone will reach 210,000, while the new Manchester United has 23 home games this season, and the ticket revenue will reach 4.83 million pounds.

Of course, this is an ideal statement. In fact, it is impossible to fill all seats, but the new Manchester United has sold 5,000 season tickets, and the sales are very hot. It can be seen that even if it cannot be filled, at least it should not be bad. Where to go.

According to Mark Davey, plus sponsorship and other income, it is believed that the operating conditions of the new Manchester United this season will be better than last season, and may even reach self-financing.

However, if there is a lot of money for signings next season, I believe Xiao Yu will have to bleed a lot at that time!

Xiao Yu is very satisfied that the new Manchester United can have this kind of improvement this season. If he can really be promoted to the League One, let alone blood, I believe that Xiao Yu will be happy with the ten blood.

On the third day of returning to Manchester, Xiao Yu fulfilled what he had promised Curtis and others, and held a banquet in his new home. In addition to inviting the new Manchester United team, he also specially put his own The new neighbors, the Beckhams, and a bunch of Manchester United stars all invited over.

But what he didn't expect was that in addition to the people he invited, Eva Snow, the hostess, invited more guests to the dinner at the same time.

As a result, Xiao Yu, who originally planned to gather a group of friends, could only watch his prepared dinner party become the focus of media attention, especially the reporters who appeared outside his mansion that night. Like bees fragrant with nectar, swarms swarmed over.

This man, it's really hard to keep a low profile!
