Chapter 1,133 Youth Storm
Some people thought Manchester United would win, after all, Tottenham have not won at Old Trafford for 22 years.
But absolutely no one thought that Manchester United would win so easily and crush them all the way. If it weren't for the forward's poor shooting skills, he would probably have scored six or seven goals.
Such a victory was achieved when all four main defenders in the backcourt were absent, coupled with an unreliable goalkeeper, which made it even more valuable.
No wonder Ferguson said proudly after the game: I am very happy. This lineup proves that our young players are very capable. Arsenal also focuses on young people, but the effect is far less effective than Manchester United. This is the charm of the Red Devils. I think all fans should be happy. Their performance on the field also proves their ability.
We still have some players who are over 30 years old and they are very experienced. At a certain point, when the young players have accumulated some experience, maybe this year they will be able to challenge. The team is young now, but full of energy and ability, and I enjoy watching them play. I'm not worried about having younger players fill the gaps on the defensive line, and we're happy with the age structure of the roster. They are young but have enough ability, temperament and courage to play well.
Gao Xiaodong, the 22-year-old captain and the core of this group of Manchester United young people, also praised the performance of his teammates, "Our performance today was really great. The victory was fantastic. It gave us confidence and courage. Our defense is very good." They are young and do not have the experience of Ferdinand, Vidic and Van der Sar, which may worry fans, but they have potential and courage, and as long as the coach gives them a chance, they will grow very fast."
After the game, the English media used the term "youth storm" to describe the Red Devils Manchester United, which had won two consecutive games.
"The Times": One was born before 1985, 9 were born after 1985, and 7 "dumb-headed youths" under the age of 23 set off a youth storm that shocked the British Isles. The 70-year-old Ferguson used the youthfulness of a 23-year-old to interpret 3 points of victory and 10 points of beauty, and used his youth to play a red chord between the black and white of Tottenham.
"Daily Mail": The younger, the scarier. In the first round against West Brom, Manchester United fielded a starting lineup that was 24 years old and 161 days old, creating the youngest starting 11 in the Premier League in that round. In the focus of the second round against Tottenham, although the 30-year-old Park Ji-sung returned to start, due to the absence of two central defenders Vidic and Ferdinand due to injuries, Evans and Phil Jones were able to appear, which led to Manchester United's The average age of the starting 11 players in the game is only 23 years old! As a result, the defense led by 19-year-old Jones brought the team its first clean sheet in the new season, while 22-year-old Gao Xiaodong and 25-year-old Rooney also scored 3 goals to end this youth storm. A happy ending.
The title of "The Guardian": Manchester United's youth makes the championship opponents despair; the number one star Gao Xiaodong is only 22 years old, the second star Rooney is 25 years old, the winger Nani is 24 years old, and the core defense players on the field are Jones and Evans. Only 19 and 22 years old, goalkeeper De Gea is 20 years old, and forward Hernandez is only 23 years old. This ensures that the team's tactical core team can work together for at least 6-7 seasons! In addition to them, there are 20-year-old Smalling and 22-year-old Fabio on the court, and 23-year-old Anderson, 18-year-old Pogba, 20-year-old Cleverley and Welbeck are also sitting off the court. We can't help but think of the Red Devils' Class of 92. They dominated the Premier League for 10 years. Now it seems that the talent of this Red Devils is not inferior to that of the Class of 92.
Of course, when the media praised this young and talented Manchester United, they did not forget the veteran coach Ferguson who created and boldly appointed young people.
"The Sun" said: Ferguson, the oldest manager in the Premier League, has the youngest heart and dares to appoint a 22-year-old as captain.
Dare to use a 20-year-old goalkeeper and dare to start nine 85-year-olds. Only Wenger, who is said to be a pedophile, has done it. However, Manchester United's effect is obviously much better than Arsenal. Arsenal just lost to Liverpool, and Manchester United But easily defeated Tottenham.
"England Mirror" said that compared with other teams, Manchester United is undoubtedly at the forefront of the Premier League in terms of upgrading, and allows young players to undergo the baptism of the league in advance, making their advancement more prominent. In sharp contrast, Arsenal is experiencing the pain of François leaving the team, and its youth team has just lost to Liverpool; Chelsea still has to rely on two veterans, Anelka and Malouda, to save the team; Liverpool has signed in Quite a few, but in terms of the vitality and passion that young people should have, they are inferior to the Red Devils. The youth army has always been the foundation of Manchester United's dominance. Ferguson, who is over 70 years old, may not have the energy to coach for too long, but the youth team he has created may allow Manchester United to dominate the Premier League for many years.
Of course, this Manchester United is not impeccable, and the performance of main goalkeeper De Gea is still frightening. Originally hailed as the "successor of Van der Sar", he has now become Manchester United's biggest weakness. In the first Premier League game, De Gea's high-altitude ball and long-range shot almost cost Manchester United three points. In this game, De Gea performed bravely in the front, but there was a butter hand behind him, and he almost lost a point to his opponent. There was another time The high-altitude ball was missed, but no one from Tottenham grabbed it. Although Manchester United won, De Gea's low-level mistakes were seen by fans and reporters around the world. After the game, the media and fans also expressed their gratitude again. De Gea expressed doubts and believed that he was suspected of Taibi II.
Manchester United head coach Ferguson unconditionally supports De Gea. This is the person he chose. Even if he bites his teeth and swallows it, he must support it. "Schmeichel also went through purgatory back then and went to Wimbledon to play away games. He Squealing like a pig, he was not protected, Vinnie Jones, Alan Cork, John Fashanu were all rushing him. I think David will pass this test. Don't forget that David is only 20 age."
Charlton also supported De Gea, "De Gea has all the talents to become a world-class goalkeeper. All he lacks is time. I hope fans can wait patiently for his growth. He will become Manchester United's last barrier."
What is quite darkly humorous is that former Manchester United goalkeeper Taibbi also stood up to support De Gea. Italian goalkeeper Taibbi was the acknowledged failure of Sir Alex Ferguson in leading the goal. The 0-5 loss to Chelsea that year was the last time he played for the Red Devils. He made a mistake and collided with Dennis Owen. As a result, Poyet headed the ball into the empty goal. Of course, that was just one scene among many tragedies.
Taibbi felt the same about De Gea's situation. He spoke from his own experience and encouraged the younger generation: "It is not difficult to see from my experience that it is not easy to become a Manchester United goalkeeper, but David is only 20 years old and he has the potential to become a world-class goalkeeper. I am in He only stayed at Manchester United for a few months and was banned after making some mistakes, but David needs time. What I want to say to him is, think of the legendary Manchester United goalkeeper Schmeichel, who also had a bad start at Manchester United. But his final achievements are there for all to see, and he is incredible. David is still very young, he performed very well at Atletico Madrid, and I believe he will also perform well at the Theater of Dreams. He is one of the best goalkeepers in Europe. "People should let him go. He has the potential to be a great asset to Manchester United for the next 15 years."
Is a prediction that is recognized as a parallel import credible? Regardless of whether other fans believe it or not, Manchester United fans will never believe it anyway. Therefore, doubts about De Gea continue, and he must continue to prove himself in the next game against the Gunners.
