Chapter 105, The Tiger and the Professor

Kintag told Scholes and Phelan about his thoughts and the way he was preparing to change the team's tactics. Scholes and Phelan raised their hands in agreement.

Just do it.

Scholes told the players on the training ground about Kintag's tactical adjustments. This time the main players who made the changes were several frontcourt players. The head coach's arrangement must be strictly implemented; and Rooney, who moved backward this time, has no problem. He played in the front midfielder and even the midfielder in the Ferguson era, and he is no stranger to this position at all.

Therefore, in the past few days of training, Jin Taige mainly practiced the new style of play. Of course, this is just Kintag's strategy when facing dense defenses. When dealing with ordinary teams, he still adopts a standard 4-4-2 offensive and defensive formation, especially when facing Arsenal in the next game.

The last away game against Real Sociedad in the Champions League was on November 5th, and the next game against Arsenal was on November 11th. The time is relatively rich, and it also gave the Manchester United players a lot of rest and adjustment time. Now, they will face Arsene Wenger's Arsenal in the best form.

The Manchester United soldiers are in excellent condition, but on the training ground, Mahrez has some minor problems. Because of continuous combat, Mahrez suffered slight muscle damage. Kintag is very nervous, and the team is in a big dilemma at this stage. If Mahrez is injured again, it will be even worse. After being diagnosed by the team doctor, the injury is not serious, and there will be no problem after a week of rest. This relieved Jin Taige a lot. But Mahrez was unable to play, and his starting lineup had to be adjusted again...

On the morning of November 4th, Arsenal came to Manchester ahead of schedule. Although Manchester is not far from London, Wenger came to Manchester ahead of schedule to prepare for the next day's game just to be on the safe side.

At the press conference on the morning of November 5, it was rare for Kim Tagg and Wenger to appear at the press conference at the same time.

Before entering the press conference, Kintag and Wenger met in the aisle. They shook hands and Wenger said to Kintag friendly: "Mr. Tiger, hello, we finally met."

Jin Taige was also very polite: "Professor, nice to meet you."

Wenger pointed to the direction outside the court: "Mr. Jazz is not sitting next to the coach of the home team today. I must feel a little uncomfortable."

Kintag said: "I think that no matter who is next to Manchester United's coaching bench, Manchester United will not change, and the spirit of the Red Devils will not change."

Wenger smiled: "Looking at your stubborn expression, you really look like a 20-year-old Ferguson. Then I wish you good luck today."

Jin Taige also replied: "I also wish the professor good luck, today will be a wonderful game."

Jin Taige is such a person, if you respect him, he will respect you double; if you provoke him, then you will become his harsh enemy!

Jin Taige and Wenger walked into the press conference hall together while talking, and sat on the stage. Manchester United's club officials said a few opening remarks, and the press conference was just beginning.

The reporters in the audience began to ask questions.

A reporter first asked Jin Taige: "Mr. Tiger, what is your team's goal today?"

Jin Taige was expressionless: "Of course, take all three points, not only this game, our goal in all games this game is to win, all three points are taken, other than that, there is no second choice. "

Another reporter asked: "Mr. Kim Taige, Manchester United recently suffered a three-game losing streak in the league. Is there any problem with your team? Or is there some problem with the player's status?"

"As I said before, the impact of the intensive schedule, the impact of the FIFA virus, and the impact of luck are the main reasons for the losing streak.

Our players are in good shape, no problems. " Jin Taige's answer was impeccable.

The third reporter asked Kim Taege again. Before he could speak, Kim Taege stopped him: "My friends, the protagonists of today's press conference are two people. Don't forget."

After saying this, Jin Taige leaned back on the chair, squinted his eyes, and ignored the reporters' questions.

The reporter asked Wenger next to him: "Professor, will Arsenal put up an iron barrel formation at Old Trafford today like Chelsea did before?"

Wenger smiled: "No matter which stadium I play, the artistic football I advocate will not change."

The reporters asked Wenger a few more questions, and Wenger answered them politely.

At this time, a person stood up in the second row. He was Wolfe, a reporter from The Sun. Wolff looked at Kintag, who was squinting his eyes at this time, and didn't intend to answer the reporter's question at all, so Wolff turned to Wenger again: "Professor, do you think Giroud can replace Van Persie in the future?" status in the team?"

Wenger was still answering the reporter's question with a smile just now. Hearing Wolfe's words, his face suddenly darkened: "Giroud has been with Arsenal for more than a year, and he has long been the team's main center forward."

Wolff then asked: "But last season, Giroud only scored 11 league goals, while Van Persie, who moved away, scored 26 goals. In this way, Giroud's strength is better than Van Persie's. It's not far off."

These words made Wenger's face very ugly.

Last summer, his favorite player, Arsenal striker and team captain Robin van Persie insisted on leaving the club he had played for for 8 years, which made Wenger very uncomfortable. Arsenal's captain left one after another, and he became a joke of the Premier League. What is the dilemma of competing for four, and no championship for many years, these are not as sad as the grief of losing a favorite.

What made Wenger even more uncomfortable was that Van Persie actually fell into the arms of his arch-enemy Manchester United, which was even more painful in his heart. It's like a girlfriend who has been with me for 8 years suddenly falls into the arms of a rival in love, and there is nothing I can do, I can only watch all this happen.

Wenger knew that things were irreversible. One month before Van Persie left, he urgently signed the French striker Giroud from Montpellier. Wenger liked Giroud's fulcrum very much. His ball protection and passing were very good. His header can often bring goals to the team. Since joining the team for a year, Giroud has scored 11 goals in the league. Although not many, as a new player who first came to the Premier League, it can be regarded as a qualified result.

But this result is far worse than Van Persie's 26 goals and the league's Golden Boot. Hearing the reporter's question, Wenger didn't know how to answer for a while.

At this moment, Jin Taige next to him spoke...
