Chapter 200, 4 Consecutive League Matches
On the bus back to Manchester from Birmingham, Jin Taige looked at the notebook in his hand with a serious face.
Ferran asked: "Tiger, you should be happy after winning a big victory. Why are you so sad?"
Jin Taige pointed to a table he drew in his notebook: "Ferlan, take a look at our next game."
As the team's assistant coach, Phelan has already been familiar with the team's field, so he doesn't need to watch it, but he sighed immediately after hearing Jin Taige's words: "Oh, the next game is quite worrying. of……"
In Kintag's notebook, there are four Premier League matches neatly written.
In the twenty-third round of the Premier League on January 28, Manchester United will face Cardiff City at home.
In the twenty-fourth round of the Premier League on February 1, Manchester United will go away to challenge Stoke City.
In the twenty-fifth round of the Premier League on February 9, Manchester United will welcome Fulham at home.
In the twenty-sixth round of the Premier League on February 12, Manchester United will go away to challenge their old enemy Arsenal.
In just half a month, Manchester United will usher in 4 rounds of the Premier League, which is a great test for the physical strength of the players. Moreover, at this stage, the league has entered the second half, and the gap between Manchester United and Manchester City is only 5 points. In these four games, Jin Taige is bound to win, and he cannot let go of a single point!
On the second day after returning to Manchester, Kintag gave the players who participated in the game yesterday a day off to let them have a good rest, and then he came to the training ground on time to train with the players of the first team.
Returning with a big victory, Jin Taige was refreshed. He carefully observed the players. After a day and a half of rest, his players were not tired and in good condition. Jin Taige was very satisfied.
In the training speech before training, Kintag said to his players: "Guys, I told you before that the main focus of this season is not on the FA Cup. At that time, some players expressed their incomprehension. Now you understand. Right. Although we won a big victory in Birmingham yesterday, if we really fight on four fronts, will we still have the energy to deal with the intensive league next?"
Hearing Jin Taige's words, the players also nodded in agreement. Everyone knows the upcoming schedule very well. Four league games in half a month, such a schedule can be described as huge pressure.
Today is January 26. One day later, Manchester United's next game is about to start, and the players are also training very hard to prepare for the next few games.
Although there are still a few months before the end of the league, the continuous battle under this intensive schedule is the easiest way to widen the points gap. To narrow the points gap with the top Manchester City, and try to widen the points distance of the few chasers behind.
The reason why Kintag attaches so much importance to these games is because after these games, Manchester United will usher in several heavyweight games.
On February 25th, Manchester United will usher in the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals. This game is very important and cannot be missed.
And on March 2, it will be the League Cup final against Manchester City. This championship battle is even more inevitable.
That's why Kintag attaches so much importance to the last few league matches. Only by stabilizing the league can we be able to prepare for the battle on the other two fronts without distraction.
During the training break, Kintag called Woodward and inquired about Chelsea and Bayern's offer to Rooney.
Woodward told him that since he sent Kintag's request to the two teams, there has been no response.
Jin Taige was not in a hurry, after all, there was still some time before the end of the winter transfer period, so there was no rush for such a large transfer transaction. In fact, he is not very concerned about Chelsea's bid, what he cares most about is Bayern's attitude. If Rooney can be exchanged for Toni Kroos, it will definitely be the icing on the cake for Manchester United's midfield.
Kanter defends, De Bruyne advances, and Kroos deals cards. This kind of midfield configuration is very exciting to think about.
Jin Taige has already secretly planned, not to mention the player plus transfer fee, as long as Bayern can agree to exchange, even if it is not a penny, Jin Taige is very happy!
But this is reality, not a football manager game. This kind of issue involving the club's financial income must try to strive for more benefits.
Although Kintag thinks very well, it is still unknown whether Bayern is willing to let Kroos go. Real Madrid probably haven't made a move yet, if it continues to delay, in case something happens suddenly, it will be really troublesome.
But Kintag can't do anything now, he can only wait for Bayern's final decision.
There is nothing to do about the transfer for the time being, and Kintag has secretly observed these days, and he found that Rooney has been in a good state recently.
The FA suspended Rooney for four games. It has been three games against Chelsea, Sunderland and Birmingham before. After the next game against Cardiff City, Rooney's suspension will end.
And Rooney was fined 30,000 weekly salary and suspended for two games because he violated the team rules and made inappropriate remarks during an interview with reporters a few days ago. However, these two suspensions coincided with the FA's suspension, so there was no impact.
Jin Taige is now making two-handed preparations.
Because if Rooney can't leave, Kintag has to make good use of him. Although the two are separated now, Kintag will definitely not appear in the situation of Boas and Adebayor. Giving up a player who is in good condition because of personal problems is something Kintag can't do.
If Rooney can transfer smoothly this winter, it will not have much impact on Manchester United's current situation. In the few games Rooney was suspended, Martial and Salah performed very well. Since the beginning of the season, Martial, as a substitute for Nani on the right, has been performing his duties conscientiously, and played well in a limited time, and eventually even squeezed Nani to the bench. Needless to say, Salah, after a period of running-in, he is now getting more and more tacit understanding with the team, and Kintag is also ready to give him more opportunities to exercise well.
In the new aid, Kintag pays special attention to De Bruyne and Salah. Although in the later generations of the parallel world, these two are the top stars in international football, but because of his intervention, the relationship between the two of them Career trajectories have changed a lot. De Bruyne did not go to the Bundesliga to practice, and Salah did not go to Serie A to temper. They are just good young stars now, and they are still far from the height of later generations. And what I can do is to give full play to their technical characteristics as much as possible, help them grow as soon as possible, let them reach their upper limit of talent as soon as possible, and lead Manchester United to continue to be brilliant!
