Chapter Forty-Three: Different Statements
After the game, the media reporters got the technical statistics of the audience, but after seeing the technical statistics, they knew that Manchester City's victory over Manchester United did not depend on luck at all. They relied entirely on strength and performance.
In terms of technical statistics, Manchester City's number of passes, possession rate, and number of shots are much higher than Manchester United's. The most intuitive one is the number of passes. All successful passes of Manchester City are nearly twice that of Manchester United!
That's twice as much!
That is, Manchester City pass two balls, Manchester United only one, passing the ball will bring the transfer of football, which will naturally bring more opportunities, so that Manchester City can suppress Manchester United the whole game is very normal.
This game, regardless of score or data, Manchester City is a complete victory!
At the same time, they also have some understanding of Manchester City's new tactics. According to technical statistics, Manchester City's new tactical requirements are to pass and control the ball. The intuitive feeling of watching the game is also the same. Passing, surprisingly, their passing is still very good, and the turnovers are not as many as expected, so that Manchester United did not find much opportunity from Manchester City's mistakes.
It is also said that Manchester City played well.
Anyone who knows football knows that a lot of passing does not mean that the game will be dominant. For example, defenders can also pass a few kicks. Under normal circumstances, there is no danger. Of course, it has no effect. It can contribute to the statistics of technical statistics, but sometimes the passing in the backcourt is also dangerous. For example, if the opponent's forward is pressing very tightly, if the ball is lost, the problem will be quite serious. The same is true in the midfield and the frontcourt. The more intensive the defense, the more dangerous the passing will be. As long as the attacking opportunity is stolen, it will be gone, so passing too many balls does not mean that you will have an advantage. Sometimes too much pursuit of passing will give the opponent a lot of opportunities.
But Manchester City really played well. They passed so many balls that they failed to give Manchester United any opportunities. Instead, they created a lot of opportunities for their own team. Completely suppressed Manchester United. And scored five goals in the first and second half.
This performance was surprising, so after the game, there was a lot of people talking about Manchester City's tactics.
...
When Wansheng walked into the press conference, he felt some changes in the reporter's eyes.
Before, they looked at themselves with some disdain and doubts. Although they came for interviews, they came only for news. Rather than really feel that he has what it takes to lead Manchester City. So when they say something, they will question them like that, even the support media of Manchester City, no, maybe it is this group of media who question themselves more, after all, whether their performance in coaching Manchester City is good, and It doesn't matter to other media, they just stand by and watch a joke.
It's completely different now.
Many of these reporters looked at themselves with admiration and trust. There was also some fiery ensuing, and they must be eager to know something about themselves... What is it?
Wan Sheng still didn't understand. Some reporters took the initiative to speak, "Mr. Wan Sheng, can you tell me how Manchester City defeated Manchester United?" The reporters were obviously asking professional questions, such as why Manchester City could suppress Manchester United, and Manchester City's tactics were What, why did it achieve such results, he also hoped that Wansheng would answer in this regard.
That's what many other journalists want to know.
Of course, what they need to know is actually not that professional. They just want to get something out of Wan Sheng's mouth, especially the media who support Manchester United. Manchester United lost 5-0. They always look for reasons, right?
It's a pity that Wansheng didn't cooperate at all.
If a professional coach or player asks himself a question about tactics and style of play, he can still talk about it, but what can he say to a group of reporters?
Then he smiled and said, "I said before the game, those so-called rising stars of Manchester United are useless at all, in my opinion, their only advantage is that they are expensive! So we won because our players were better... "
After Wan Sheng answered, he waited for the reporter to continue to ask questions, but he did not expect that some Manchester United reporters were chasing this question, "Can you be specific about who?"
Reporters have asked this question, and Wansheng did not hesitate to comment. He thought about it and then said, "I said before the game that I would like 'Mr. Sir Alex Ferguson' to see how I dealt with C-Ronaldo. You should watch it during the game. When we got there, we just let my players find a breakthrough in C-Ronaldo's way, and then they succeeded, we scored two goals first..." He especially bit the word 'Mr. I know I don't have that much respect for the old guy.
"Now I think it's not just C-Ronaldo, look at Wayne Rooney, this £30 million star who was put on by Manchester United, England, and England, where did he go in the game? I didn't see him at all. What a threat to our defence, and he is worth more than all of our players put together."
"I also said about Fletcher and Park Ji-sung before the game. Fletcher started the game. Sir Sir Alex Ferguson probably had high hopes for him, but I think he is young and immature. It is estimated that he will not grow up in a few seasons. Seeing him as a full-back now, he has no choice but to let it go."
"Park Ji-sung, huh? I want to say, I've always disliked Koreans and Japanese."
After Wan Sheng finished speaking, he continued to look at the reporters, watching them feel an uproar because of his own words, and then they kept discussing. , Fletcher, Ronaldo and others think, he doesn't care! Who made them not their own players, but the players of the sworn enemy Manchester United? He can't be merciful to the enemy, especially since he is now coaching Manchester City, he has enough reasons to say more... more ugly.
At this moment, a reporter suddenly asked about Alan Smith, Wan Sheng hesitated, and asked, "Alan Smith? Has he played?"
Many people were amused.
This is not a joke, Wansheng really forgot Alan Smith's appearance for a while, because the latter really failed to impress people, and others can understand Wansheng's feelings. They laughed that Alan Smith was really mediocre, Is there anything to ask about?
Soon everyone will know why.
...
Moving forward a little bit, Manchester United manager Ferguson appeared in the mixed zone.
He just came out of the locker room. Just about to go to the press conference, Wan Sheng was already at the venue at this time. Ferguson came a little late, but he couldn't control it so much. Manchester United lost the game 5-0. There was no place for his anger to vent. So he just lost his temper in the locker room.
After venting some anger, Ferguson felt a lot better, and then he remembered going to the press conference.
But he was stopped by reporters in the mixed zone.
Normally Ferguson would not give interviews, but now that Manchester United lost the derby by a big score, he must have to accept some interviews, so he stopped and talked about the game.
He first took the initiative to admit his responsibility. "This defeat is my responsibility. I didn't expect Manchester City to change so much in a summer, we were not prepared, so they took the lead... But if there is another game, I believe that the winner will belong to us."
"In this game, many people in the team did not perform well. Maybe they haven't been able to recover from their vacation. This reminds them that the league has officially started."
"A defeat is nothing. We have to learn from the lessons and face it with a peaceful mind. I think only in this way can we make progress and defeat the opponent the next time we meet."
"But I still need to talk about some people's inaction in the game..."
"In our tactics, the middle is the core point, and we have to take the initiative to attack to gain an advantage, but I didn't see that, but Smith got a lot better after he played. I think it's time to make some changes, the ball It's time for the team to make a change."
"..."
Ferguson did not directly point out who he was talking about, but the reporters were chasing the shadows, and they understood it as soon as they heard it - he was talking about team captain Roy Keane!
Alan Smith replaced Roy Keane. Smith improved a lot after he played. Of course, Roy Keane did not act before. The old Jazz was publicly expressing his dissatisfaction with Roy Keane's performance in the game.
Then think of the conflict between Roy Keane and Ferguson that has been rumored, and many people understand it.
But they began to think about Roy Keane's performance. Ferguson's words were not completely biased. Roy Keane's performance in the whole game was really not bright, not even qualified. Morris's That goal was his direct breakthrough, and his defensive performance in the following few times was not very good. As a mid-laner player who partnered with Scholes, he was originally a normal defensive type. Defense was his main task. No, what can the offense do? In fact, the same is true. Roy Keane did not shoot at all, and did nothing offensively.
In conclusion, what Ferguson said makes sense.
However, there are definitely a small number of reporters who really trace the reasons for Manchester United's big loss. Most of the reporters just remember the words of the two coaches and then report accordingly. The interesting part is here, according to Wansheng. , Manchester United failed because their young players did not perform well, and according to Ferguson, the reason should be placed on veterans such as Roy Keane.
The words of the two are completely contradictory.
Many media reporters found it interesting. When they commented on the summary of the game, they simply divided the reasons for Manchester United's loss into two sections, one for Wansheng and the other for Ferguson. More topics for fan readers.
...
Of course there are a lot of people who really know the reason for Manchester United's failure, and that is the new tactics of Manchester United.
Manchester City players are discussing in the dressing room.
In this game, they had a lot of fresh experiences. Before the game, it was hard for them to imagine that the team could use new tactics to suppress Manchester United, but they did it in the game. This kind of success will also bring more Confidence also made them feel that their summer efforts were not in vain, and now they have beaten Manchester United by a big score, which was something they could not have imagined before.
This game brought so much excitement, they didn't expect it to be so easy to face Manchester United, it didn't feel like facing Manchester United, but a newly-promoted team, and even a newly-promoted team wanted to score five in a game. A single ball is not easy, but five balls!
5:0!
Let alone 5:0, for Manchester City, the last memorable Manchester derby dates back to 1989, when Manchester City slaughtered Manchester United 5:1, which is definitely a memorable historical scene!
To this day, many old Manchester City fans still have deep memories of that game.
At that time, Ferguson had been coaching Manchester United for less than 3 years. This was also the most painful Manchester derby he had ever encountered. Before this game, Manchester City had never been so brilliant in a derby, but now the team has won 5:0. That's more than that game in 1989.
So this game has become a memorable history, and they have all become witnesses and participants in history.
A lot of people are excited!
People get excited when you think about the game years later, and their names are mentioned by the way, especially like Anelka, who scored two goals, if people mention the game, He was definitely mentioned, so he was very excited at this point, "We scored five goals! We were amazing, five goals for Manchester United! Haha! I scored two! I didn't expect to score so many goals. , I originally thought that if I could score a goal, it was God's blessing!"
"I think the next time we meet them, we can still play well!"
"That's right! I feel the same way!"
"The game was so easy! They weren't as strong as they thought, but I think it's because of our style of play. We kept passing the ball and they couldn't do anything..."
"Yeah, our tactics are much better than theirs!"
Leto Ziegler also sighed, "The boss is still amazing! Can you think of such a tactic!"
Soon a teammate asked, "Did you play like this when you were at Derby?"
Ziegler shook his head, "No, it's not the same as it is now. At that time, the boss asked for speed, and the attacking speed must be fast, very fast, but now our requirement is to pass the ball. In Derby County, the passing requirement is not many."
Ziegler explained that many teammates were watching, which made the big boy feel a little shy. Although he has been in England for more than two years, in fact, he is only 19 and a half years old, less than 20 years old. just a kid.
The only difference is that now he has become very confident.
When everyone came over, he began to explain in more detail, telling the difference between Derby County's tactics and now, and telling his own understanding of tactics.
Distin looked at Ziegler who was standing among the crowd chatting and the atmosphere in the locker room was quite weird. He really didn't expect that after a summer, the team would become what it is now.
In the past, the team's locker rooms were all small groups, with little collective interaction, and no one paid attention to newcomers, but now everyone is discussing tactics and games enthusiastically, and the relationship between them is also being discussed. Much better.
This may be the change brought about by the Chinese!
Now he also has to admit that so far, the Chinese has done a good job in the team, and victory can really bring a lot of things. He is a victory that has conquered the hearts of many people, including himself. convince.
Just hope that more victories like this will come! (To be continued ~^~)
