Chapter 107, Newcomers and Veterans
In the 11th round of the Premier League on November 11, Manchester United ushered in a challenge from Arsenal at home.
This game is the focus of this round of the league battle, and Sky Television's Morris and Raman are explaining the game.
The arrangement of Sky TV is very interesting. Every time they meet Manchester United, they will always send their top commentator combination Morris and Raman, not only because they are excellent commentators, but also because of the personal tendencies of these two people: Morris is a die-hard fan of Manchester United, while Rahman looks down on Kintag's life and death. When these two people explain the game together, there will always be sparks, especially Raman, who always makes a lot of remarks that are unfavorable to Manchester United, which makes Sky TV receive complaints from many Manchester United fans. But it is precisely because of this that the ratings of the two hosts are extremely high. Other fans want to see how the two of them bicker, while Manchester United fans want to hear what Raman said against Manchester United.
The two were already at work before this game even started. Morris explained to the television audience the starting rosters of the two teams in great detail.
"Arsenal formed a 4-2-3-1 formation today, with Szczesny in the goalkeeper position, Gibbs, Vermaelen, Koscielny and Sagna in the defense from left to right, Two defensive midfielders Arteta and Flamini, three attacking midfielders from left to right are Cazorla, Ozil and Ramsey; the center position is French striker Giroud. The seven substitute players are: France Bianski, Monreal, Jenkinson, Hayden, Wilshere, Bendtner and Gnabry."
"Manchester United's starting lineup is still a 4-4-2 formation, the goalkeeper is De Gea; Smalling is suspended today in the defense, and Kintiger has a combination of Vidic and Van Dijk. Evra and Rafael; Kanter and Carrick in the midfield. Giggs is on the left today, replacing Mahrez who suffered some minor injuries. Martial is on the right. He has successfully squeezed Nani the bench; the striker is a combination of Rooney and Van Persie. The seven substitute players are: Alisson, Alonso, Jones, Ashley Young, Valencia, Nani and Icardi."
After Morris introduced the match list, Raman took another list of players and said to the audience in front of the TV: "Let's take a look at Arsenal's match list for today: in the starting lineup, the 26-year-old Giroud , Vermaelen and Koscielny, 24-year-old Ozil, 23-year-old Gibbs, 22-year-old Ramsey; look at the bench, 24-year-old Bendtner, Wilshere and James Kimson is 21 years old, Gnabry and Hayden are 18 years old. The professor's youth storm is still hot!"
"Let's look at Manchester United's squad: Giggs is 39, Vidic, Evra and Carrick are all 31, Van Persie is 30. My God, when did Manchester United become a nursing home? If not 35-year-old Ferdinand is injured, so Manchester United's squad will be even older! I really can't imagine how Arsenal's young players will face such a group of 'old people' after the game starts."
Morris glanced at Raman: "In the third round of the league, Manchester United played away against Liverpool. I remember you laughed at the age of Kintag's team and said that Manchester United's central axis is more than a hundred years old." What happened in the end? That game still relied on the outstanding performance of these veterans, and finally won Liverpool 3-0."
Raman defended: "At one time and another, when the league had just started, Manchester United's morale was high, and the physical condition of the whole team was also very good, and it was normal to win; The losing streak, the Champions League qualifying situation is not sure, and the physical exertion of continuous combat is also very serious. Now I meet the young and aggressive Arsenal, I assert that Manchester United will definitely lose this game!"
"Then let's see the outcome after the game."
"The game is about to start! This game is a focus of the 11th round of the Premier League,
Manchester United vs. Arsenal at home. This is the first match between Manchester United and Arsenal in the post-Ferguson era. I wonder if Wenger misses the days of fighting wits and courage with Ferguson. No matter what Wenger thinks, at least I miss seeing Wenger and Ferguson together on the sidelines. "
"Raman, look at the footage in the broadcast. Sir Alex Ferguson appeared in the private room above the North Stand! He also came to watch the match today. It seems that Mr. Jazz is also very concerned about this match."
"Morris, although you are a Manchester United fan, I still have to hit you again. So far in the league, we have 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, and we rank fifth in the league with 14 points. Such a result makes Ferguson, who recommended Kim Tag It must have been a shame. I guess the only reason Sir Alex Ferguson came to the stadium to watch the game was because he was worried about his successor."
"I am absolutely assured of Kintag. He is my favorite person. I believe in my vision and his strength. He will definitely be able to lead Manchester United to a new glory."
In the private room above the North Stand, Sir Alex Ferguson said firmly to Malcolm and Woodward beside him.
The club CEO Woodward came to this game, and even the club owner Malcolm Glazer also came to the scene in person. There was only one reason for the two of them to come and go, and that was that they were worried about Jin Taige.
Before the game, Malcolm Glazer chatted with Woodward. He said to Woodward: "Kim Tiger has lost three games in a row in the league. If he loses this game again, I don't mind letting Kim Tiger advance. Get out of class. You can now think about the candidate for the new coach in advance."
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Woodward didn't want Kim Tag to leave get out of class. After getting along for a period of time during the summer transfer period, Woodward likes Kintag's straightforward character very much. Working with such a person, Woodward feels very comfortable.
Because Jin Taige was recommended by Sir Ferguson, Malcolm Glazer specially invited Sir Ferguson to the scene today to watch the game with him. If Kintag loses and Malcolm Glazer takes the opportunity to fire Kintag, I believe Sir Alex Ferguson will have nothing to say.
But I didn't expect that even if Jin Taige's performance in leading the team was so poor, Ferguson would support Jin Taige so much.
Malcolm Glazer sighed and said: "Mr. Jazz, if you can come back to coach the team, I believe you will be able to lead the team back on track."
Sir Alex Ferguson shook his head: "Malcolm, I am no longer useful as a veteran, now it is the world of rookies, and the future of Manchester United belongs to Kim Tiger."
Malcolm Glazer didn't speak. He thought to himself: If you see Kintag's coaching level for a while, you won't say that.
And Woodward just listened to the two talking, without saying a word.
With the whistle of the referee, the focus of this match between Manchester United and Arsenal has begun!
