昨夜，弗格森爵士依旧如常用力嚼着口香糖，目光如电如炬，扫视着老特拉福德的草地，逼射出对胜利的渴望。
* W, b O% w2 ?9 S曼联在线·球迷地带昨晚欧冠赛场，曼联神鬼莫敌。平地轻起招式，不费吹灰之力，跻身十六强。 弗格森，六十六岁大寿在即，几日内就是他执掌帅印二十一年之时；面对实力平平的对手，他的争胜本能却仍是倾囊而出。

“世人已在打赌揣测我会不会长踞曼联25年，这颇为有趣，结果如何拭目以待吧。”老头打趣。
: p1 i& G" T- v0 R& I7 \: N' |* U$ A曼联在线·球迷地带在这个即将迎来来二十一周年的夜晚，也许老人已将答案揭晓，其中奥秘尽藏一纸出场名单上。 光看他排出的替补球员，其中一半不超过22岁，平均年龄也仅有23.3岁。 着手重建曼联王朝，99年的三冠王功臣他却仅留下了这四个——加里-内维尔，保罗-斯克尔斯，韦斯利-布朗，莱恩-吉格斯。 福吉相信他现在的年轻人们“与八年前的英雄相比，才华不相上下”。 曼联,曼联BT,曼联在线视频,曼联图片,曼联新闻,曼联论坛$ u" T# Z& U1 i! x0 v
中卫杰拉德-皮克：21岁，为曼联攻入第一球，为爵页大加赞赏，确保了自己在他的名单上的一席之位。 丹尼-辛普森：才第二次首发看来已颇有大将之风——若他的队友肯多多传球给他，他应能更上一层楼。 罗纳尔多：22岁，招牌进球完美终场； 纳尼，20岁，戏耍如入无人之境。 人们很容易想不起，脸上有着丑陋伤疤的卡洛斯-特维兹，也只有23岁的事实，而这个年轻人刚取得了他欧冠的第一个进球。 www.imanutd.com/ M& j7 n5 Y& y
正是由于这些年轻人的热血，弗格森显得老而弥坚；他那第二座欧冠奖杯的梦想，不破。 “我们上下一心，随时准备以雷霆之势出击。若想成为冠军，一开始就要明确夺冠的目标。”爵爷强调。
