I Want to Be the King of Football

The Manchester Derby at the weekend attracted the attention of fans all over the world.

This is evident from the number of media reporters who came to Carrington and attended the pre-match press conference.

It was more than half more than usual.

Obviously, after participating in the Manchester United press conference, they can walk to the training base opposite to Manchester City to participate in their press conference. This is also Ferguson's intentional arrangement.

He is deliberately trying to get ahead of Manchester City, he wants to put some pressure on Manchester City.

The team's 18-man roster, in fact, did not have too many surprises.

Even if you take into account the consumption of the long distance flying to Romania in the midweek Champions League group stage, Ferguson's starting lineup is not particularly difficult to guess, and there may be differences, but the problem is basically not too big.

Of course, it is impossible for Ferguson to directly tell others what his starting lineup and tactics are.

Before entering free questioning, Ferguson took the initiative to talk about the team's defeat at Old Trafford last season.

That game was hailed as the worst loss in his coaching career.

Ferguson knows the character of the media well. He knows that this is a topic that can't be avoided. Since he can't avoid it, he just took the initiative to bring it down and played down the media's hype about that game last season as much as possible.

In the discussion, Ferguson adopted a certain spring and autumn style, and did not mention too much about Manchester City’s strength advantages. More importantly, he mentioned Manchester United’s own mistakes. He even believed that Manchester United’s own mistakes caused that. A big defeat, not because Manchester City is too strong.

What scenes have not been seen by the media reporters?

A statement like Ferguson is even more of a tactic they are familiar with, so in the subsequent free questioning session, they unceremoniously asked Ferguson, the outside world said that Manchester City is the number one favorite to win the Premier League this season, after the draw with Liverpool. , Manchester United are also four points behind Manchester City in the standings, what do they think?

Ferguson said it is too early to say this.

"I have coached Manchester United and played in the Premier League for decades. We have experienced many teams, from Liverpool to Arsenal to Chelsea. At every time period, we will face challenges from different teams. Now there is another one. Manchester City."

Ferguson smiled, "You know, even two or three years ago, no one would have noticed Manchester City. We all call this team a noisy neighbor. In addition to making the Manchester City derby lively and creating topics, There is no suspense in the result."

"Yes, in the last two or three years, Manchester City's strength has risen sharply. The petro pound from the Arab Emirates has turned them into another team, a reborn team, the lineup is very strong, and even looks very strong, but I What I want to say is that it's not enough to challenge Manchester United just by relying on this."

"We have met a lot of opponents, and there will always be various challenges. We have even lost a lot of championships. But in the past few decades, we have repeatedly proved one thing. The last laugh must be Manchester United! "

"From Liverpool, to Arsenal to Chelsea, to Manchester City today, I believe that Manchester United will still have the last laugh."

Ferguson has enough qualifications and confidence to say these words, looking at the entire world of football, only he has experienced so many dynasties, only Manchester United has always stood at the top of the Premier League.

Therefore, he despised this [noisy neighbor] in his mouth.

Specific to this game, Ferguson believes that it is nothing to be behind by four points.

"For now, we can't see the significance of this game in a short time. Maybe it is important, but it may not be. It needs to wait until the end of the season before resuming the game. But one thing is clear. This game is lost. Winning is actually worth six points. No matter which team wins, it will be of great significance."

But Ferguson also said that this game is important, but for Manchester United, it is not that important.

In the history of the Manchester United club, there have been many, many such, even more important and difficult games than this one. Manchester United has been able to come to this day because it has won these games, and the calculation is lost, and it can be very fast. Recover from it.

"We are not a team that is accustomed to following other people's ass, just like we were behind Arsenal and Chelsea, but we all achieved a big reversal in the end. This is our style and tradition.

Finally, Ferguson repeatedly emphasized that Manchester United players must show a stronger desire to win in the game and insist on maintaining the tradition and style of Manchester United.

"I can't guess how exciting the game is. There may be some goals, but it may be disappointing."

"This is a crucial game. In such a game, there are rarely a large number of goals."

"The game last season?"

"Believe me, it was just an accident that has never happened in a century, and we will never let the same accident happen a second time!"

...

...

Compared with the movement on Ferguson's side, the movement on Manchester City's side is much smaller.

Guardiola has always been the kind of gentle image, seldom bombarding others at press conferences, he is more to announce his 18-man roster and his expectations for the next game.

He wants to get these three points.

The only special thing is that Guardiola said that Manchester City will still take a large rotation.

"In fact, since the second half of last season, we have been sticking to the rotation. We can form two high-level lineups, which can help us cope with different events and also give our players enough time off. "

Guardiola's words are somewhat Versailles.

But one thing everyone agrees is that Manchester City really has the most luxurious lineup configuration in the Premier League and even European football.

Not to mention anything else, Gareth Barry, Dzeko, Aguero, Milner, David Luiz, Harvey Martinez... Which of these Manchester City players is not the one that other European teams are coveting? Star?

But they can only play as a substitute in Manchester City.

Some media even believe that Manchester City and the youth team can form three sets of lineups to cope with the Premier League, the Champions League and the domestic cup.

This is definitely an exaggeration, but it can also reflect the thickness of Manchester City's bench.

The Abu Dhabi consortium has invested so much money, and it has basically been transformed into the overall strength of Manchester City.

However, Manchester City also has some hidden dangers.

For example, right defender Sabaletta has played two consecutive games, Leyton Bynes is also injured in training, do you want Marcelo to continue playing Manchester City derby?

Guardiola did not give a clear answer, but he said that Manchester City hope to play a wonderful Manchester derby.

The implication is actually to stimulate Manchester United and Ferguson.

Nima, let's not defend if you have the ability, just press it out to attack!

The following media reporters all smiled. Will Ferguson play against Manchester City?

MMP, he is just a little older and not stupid!

...

...

The fighting methods of the two coaches before the game did not arouse much controversy.

In terms of war of words, Guardiola couldn't catch up with Ferguson by shooting four horses dead. Naturally, he would not compete with each other in areas where he was not good at, but chose to keep a low profile.

The media is analyzing and hyping up this key Premier League battle.

Needless to say, Manchester United’s problems are indeed many, and even many people think that in front of Manchester City, the three lines of the Red Devils and the goalkeeper are all risky, because they are not as good as Manchester City.

But Manchester United is not without chance.

"The Red Devils' biggest bargaining chip is that they have Ferguson!"

"Ferguson can always make surprising enough accidents and perform miracles when others don't expect it."

Manchester City's overall strength is stronger and the lineup is stronger, but it is not without weakness.

The first is two full-backs, Sabaletta has always been the main force, but Trippier has not yet reached the main level requirements for the time being, especially for him to appear in such a game, which can easily cause him problems.

After all, what he has to face this time, but Valencia and Nani are powerful wingers on the front line in Europe.

If you don't play Trippier, Sabaletta will continue to start. Can the Argentine survive?

There is also the left back. The rotation between Leighton Bynes and Marcelo has been going well. Even Marcelo and Hazard have also cooperated. It can be seen that Manchester City's running-in is getting better.

But now that Leighton Bynes is injured, can he keep up with this game?

According to the rotation system, the Manchester derby should be played by Hazard. If Bynes can't play, will Marcelo and Hazard have any problems with their cooperation?

Another problem is the central defender. Since Harvey Martinez played as central defender, most of his performances have been unsatisfactory, and occasionally some flashes, but now facing Manchester United, facing top attackers such as Rooney and Berbatov, Can Harvey Martinez hold it?

The most magical thing about Ferguson is that his keen tactical sense can always catch the fighters that others can't catch, and then by hitting the opponent one point, to disintegrate the opponent's entire offensive and defensive system, and repeatedly create classic victories.

Now that Manchester City has the advantage and Manchester United is at a disadvantage, is it possible for Ferguson to lead Manchester United to a counterattack to win?

The odds offered by the three major bookmakers are also very interesting. Manchester City gave Manchester United a half goal.

Obviously, they all think Manchester City is a big favorite and have a chance to win, but a more reasonable score is to win a goal.

At noon on October 23rd, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Manchester Old Trafford Stadium.

In the ninth round of the Premier League, Manchester derby, Manchester City challenged Manchester United away.

Before the game, both sides got each other's starting lineups.

At home, Manchester United still adopted a rotation tactic. After all, the expedition to Romania was extremely costly for Manchester United. Without rotation, Ferguson could not guarantee the player's tactical execution.

He adopts a four-four-two tactic of equanimity. The goalkeeper is De Gea, the defense is Evra, Evans, Ferdinand and Smallin, and the midfielders are Ashley Young, Anderson, Fletcher and Nani. The double forward is Welbeck partner Rooney.

Compared to the midweek Champions League, Ferguson's rotation is not small, which shows the impact of that game on Manchester United.

But when Ferguson got Manchester City's starting lineup, he was surprised.

"What the **** is Guardiola doing?"
