Chapter 774

There is an unwritten tradition in the Premier League, that is, at the end of a match, the managers will make an appointment to have a drink and get together after attending the press conference, so as to show the gentlemanly demeanor that the success or failure of the stadium has nothing to do with their personal relations.

As the most traditional head coach of the Premier League, Ferguson has always been a practitioner of this tradition. There is a special room at Old Trafford for Ferguson to entertain his opponents.

But there are exceptions, such as some people he looks down on, or he loses.

In particular, the latter, Ferguson has more than once said publicly that he likes this tradition, but if he loses the ball, it is difficult for him to have the mood to drink with the other side.

The exception, however, is if the other party brings the wine he has been longing for.

Ferguson likes red wine, which is known all over the world. When Gao Han was in charge of Chelsea, the match against Manchester United brought precious wine, which was also reported by many media reporters. As a result, after Gao Han left Chelsea, Ferguson said more than once that he was disgusted with Chelsea, because Abramovich made him unable to drink the good wine brought by Gao Han.

And this time, alpine return to the Old Trafford stadium, of course, is also carefully prepared a bottle of good wine.

Two people in Ferguson's office, slowly tasting red wine, there is not a word to talk, Ferguson heart some resentment, and cold won the ball, more or less let him some, help him adjust his mood.

It seems that he wants to get what he has lost on the pitch back in his glass. Ferguson drinks faster.

After a few drinks, the old Scot is already red with blood.

"Chelsea won again." Ferguson spat out the wine and scolded angrily.

The news just came from London that Chelsea beat Tottenham Hotspur one-to-zero, ushering in a six game winning streak. Moreover, the defense of the blues is good, and the goal difference continues to dominate Manchester City and lead the Premier League table.

"Scolari's tactics at Chelsea this season are pragmatic, focusing on defense and balance. With the strength of the blues, as long as there are no accidents, I'm afraid not many teams can defeat them."

Ferguson's eyes are a little cloudy and red after drinking, but when it comes to Chelsea, his eyes can't hide his anger.

In this round of league matches, Liverpool narrowly beat West Ham United away from home. Basically, they have all won.

At the end of the current round, Chelsea continued to lead. Manchester City had the same points, but ranked second. Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur all had 12 points, ranking third to seventh respectively.

It can be said that this represents the current situation in the Premier League.

If there is no accident, the Premier League should be the world of these teams. The only big suspense is who will be squeezed out of the top four in the traditional top four, and who will have the chance to rank higher in Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur.

This is a very realistic problem.

"What are you worried about? Judging from the current situation, if a team is forced out of the top four, the probability of Arsenal and Liverpool will be higher, especially Liverpool, whose attack is terrible." Alpine analysis.

The problem of Liverpool has a long history, but it has not been solved effectively.

In Houllier's time, Liverpool insisted on playing with Owen and crouch as double strikers, but in Benitez's time, they began to carry out the continental style and play with a single striker instead. However, the problem is that the Red Army will always have only one reliable striker available.

In the past few seasons, Rafael Benitez has been determined to win the team leader Torres of Atletico Madrid, but the bedspread team insists that Torres is the flag of the team, not for sale, and now Atletico Madrid is no longer the demoted team of that year, but a famous top European team. Torres has never thought of leaving.

The introduction of poor, leading to the front of Liverpool has not been able to effectively solve the problem.

If it is in some games with more targeted tactics, such as the Champions League knockout, or in the strong dialogue of the Premier League, this problem of Liverpool may be covered up, but in the long League, there is a lack of stable offensive firepower, which is quite a terrible thing.

Last season, the Red Army bullied the tough and feared the soft, but they didn't have enough offensive firepower.

The strong team is willing to fight with you, and they will show their flaws to you, but the weak team is different, they will defend, which will test the attack.

And this season, the problem has not improved.

That's why it is said that Liverpool are most likely to be squeezed out of the top four.

"But I'd rather be Chelsea Ferguson said lightly.

Gao was surprised, but he quickly figured out the meaning of Ferguson's words and shook his head with a bitter smile. "Everyone said that I came to the Premier League with a vengeful mood, determined to kill Chelsea, but how do I feel that you hate him more than I do?"

But Ferguson didn't feel funny at all. He still looked at Gao Han solemnly, "Abramovich broke the rules!"

Break the rules!

A simple sentence, but cold speechless.

As many people say, Ferguson is the most traditional local manager in England. He is a Scot, but he has been in charge of the Premier League for decades. He knows everything about the Premier League very well. In addition, Manchester United's position in the Premier League makes him highly respected in the Premier League coaching circle.

Sometimes status and influence also represent responsibility.

At the beginning, Abramovich fired Rijkaard on the bus in front of the whole team. Gao can't see it and immediately bombarded Abramovich in the media, because he was the first coach in the world at that time and the famous coach in Europe. If he didn't stand up and speak, who else would speak for the coach?

After that, don't all the coaches have to bear the grievances?

High cold is so, as the representative of the Premier League Manager, how could Ferguson not be so?

"Do you remember, I told you that if a head coach can't control the dressing room, he is committing suicide. Think about it. In the past few years, in European football, how many head coaches every year have been blamed for the wrong decisions of the team and the internal contradictions in the dressing room for no reason? After years of being fired, he was ridiculed and humiliated by the fans and the media? "

Gao Han is silent. At this point, his height is not as high as Ferguson's, not as high as Ferguson's.

If the result is not good, it is the lowest cost choice to find the head coach.

A professional club is a company. If there is a problem in the operation of the company, the solution is to choose the one with the lowest cost.

As for whether it is the head coach or not, who cares?

What does it mean to change a commander like a knife?

Is it true that with a new head coach, the situation of the team can be completely changed?

Gao has never denied that some coaches are not strong enough, but those who can gain a firm foothold in the four major leagues in Europe have proved themselves, and there must be no problem in their strength, so why are there so many problems?

It's like Chelsea, the results are not ideal, it's all about Rijkaard?

Is there no problem with club management and players' changing rooms?

If there are problems, which aspect is more serious? Why only fired the head coach?

Well, even if it's all Rijkaard's problem, as a famous European coach, should Chelsea give him proper respect and save each other's face, instead of firing him on the bus in front of the whole team?

Ferguson said Abramovich broke the rules, that is to say, he broke the rules.

To put it bluntly, it has become a natural habit for the coach to carry the black pot, but even if he wants to carry it, he has to carry it with dignity.

Abramovich's approach is nothing more than to push all the black pot to Rijkaard, not only that, but also to trample Rijkaard's head under his feet and trample hard.

"To tell you the truth, this year's Chelsea is really strong, Scolari's play is very pragmatic, I don't have enough confidence with Arsene, so you have to work harder." Ferguson said with a wry smile.

Alpine is also a bitter smile, he can feel the helpless heart of Ferguson.

Today's European football is dominated by capital, among which Chelsea is the best. Abramovich has no awe at all in treating professional football. He only believes in capital.

But in the face of such a Chelsea, Ferguson and Arsene Wenger are not very sure, they can only turn to the cold, and the cold hands of weapons, how can not rely on the capital of the Middle East to build Manchester City?

The only difference is that Manchester City at least have a little awe, put the high cold in the supreme position.

"Don't worry, the game hasn't been played, everything is still unknown." Alpine comfort.

He felt that the defeat was not a small blow to Ferguson, mainly due to Manchester United's own problems.

Ferguson did not continue to pester on this issue, but sighed to the cold.

"To tell you the truth, do you know what I admire most about you?"

"What?"

Ferguson tut tut two, "how can you always have a way to dig out so many high-level players?"

When they get to their position, they are all in agreement in their respective clubs. The dressing room also has absolute authority, and even their coaching strength is not far behind each other. But the biggest advantage of Alpine is his players.

He is always able to dig out some players who are not familiar with others and train them into talents.

Even if Manchester City has invested 400 million yuan this season, there are some bright players like Harvey Martinez, sturrich and Sanchez, especially Harvey Martinez, the star of the defensive commander-in-chief, who is rare.

In the face of Ferguson's question, Gao does not know how to answer it. He can't say that he has bright eyes and can see through the strength and potential of all the players at a glance, can he?

"Luck." Gao Han said with a smile.

"Then you're lucky." Where would Ferguson believe it?

Let's talk about the goalkeeper.

At the beginning, he paid a lot of money to introduce Edwin van der Sar and German goalkeeper Adler, but after Adler came to the Premier League, his physical fitness was not strong enough to adapt, and soon he was sent back to Germany. Manchester United were busy in the position of goalkeeper.

But almost at the same time, Gao Han recruited Neuer in Bayern Munich. The latter was not as famous as Adler at that time, but as a result, Neuer played a world-class level in Bayern Munich.

Ferguson is really depressed about this.

Ferguson knows just how useful the two players introduced to Manchester United by Gao Han, Mattic and Pepe, are.

With this in mind, Ferguson suddenly moved in his heart and looked at the cold with a smile.

"Or... You'll sell me de GEA?"

"No“ Frigid startled, my God, this old man crazy?

However, Manchester United are short of goalkeepers and are very popular. It's possible to play for de gea. After all, it's a piece of cake for the rich Manchester United to break the contract.

But the Chinese city team has a good performance this season, and de GEA has made a great contribution. How can it sell?

"De GEA is the pillar of our defence. It's not for sale. Don't make up your mind about him!"
