Chapter 1,226: Talking
Manchester United lost!
Manchester United actually lost to Manchester City at home!
At the end of the game, Manchester United fans could not accept the reality of losing, but they did not want to boo their players. Many people stood in the stands and glared at the players and coaches on the field.
The Manchester United players were depressed, ashamed, and angry. They were unwilling to stay in this place of shame for a moment. As soon as the whistle sounded at the end of the game, they hurried to the locker room.
Reporters loved this scene the most. They rushed to interview the core players of Manchester United and Manchester City, especially Balotelli and Gao Xiaodong.
Balotelli was as happy as a 19-meter-old child and actively accepted interviews, but Gao Xiaodong was unhappy and pushed away the reporter and went straight back to the locker room.
Even though a hat trick could not save the defeat, Gao Xiaodong was not in the mood to deal with these reporters.
Back in the locker room, some players went to take a shower, some sat there sulking, and some complained and criticized.
The young players were all frightened, sitting there and not daring to speak, for fear that Chi Yu would suffer, get into trouble with the main players, and be scolded by them.
Ferguson also had a gloomy look on his face when he came back, but the old Sir Alex has experienced countless failures, and there are many more miserable and more important failures than this one. He knows what to do at this time.
"What happened? Lost the championship or something? Didn't you just lose a game?"
Ferguson took the tactical board and slapped the wall hard.
No one spoke in the locker room.
Ferguson continued: "Yes, this is a derby, this is home, it's embarrassing, but so what, no matter how much we lose, it's just three points."
"From now on, forget about this game. Don't complain. That's what women do. Don't blame your teammates. Everyone is responsible for losing like this, including me. Remember, we are not Manchester City. Our goal is not to win the derby, our goal is to defend the treble!"
"I don't want to say anything more today. Just think about what you just said."
After speaking, Ferguson waved to Gao Xiaodong and said: "Xiaodong, come with me to the press conference. The captain of Manchester United cannot escape failure, nor can he escape reporters."
When Gao Xiaodong saw what Ferguson said, his teammates immediately came back to their senses.
Secretly admire, the old man has dominated football for so many years, and he really has two brushes. In terms of his psychological adjustment ability, no one except Mourinho can catch up.
Ferguson brought Gao Xiaodong to the press conference hall. Manchester City coach Mancini had already arrived, but he did not bring Balotelli, who performed best in the game, probably because he was afraid of Balotelli's bigness. Mouth.
Although they were unhappy, Ferguson and Gao Xiaodong shook hands with Mancini in a gentlemanly manner and congratulated Manchester City on their victory.
At this time, Mancini could still keep his composure. When shaking hands with Ferguson and Gao Xiaodong, he praised them for playing well. After the press conference began, Mancini quickly became a little carried away.
Manic said that Manchester City achieved an all-round victory in this game and completely suppressed Manchester United. If Manchester City had not relaxed at the last moment, they would have achieved a historic victory at Old Trafford.
Manic said triumphantly: "I hope our victory can win respect for Manchester City. We are not the noisy neighbors, we are strong contenders for the league championship.
Mancini's words aroused Ferguson's anger. When Sir Alex was speaking, he said that Manchester United lost this game because of underestimating the opponent. He and his team members underestimated Manchester City's strength and were not fully prepared for the difficulties of the game. Evans' red card deprived Manchester United of their ability to make a comeback.
Then Ferguson added: "This is just an ordinary league. Even if we lose, we are confident of getting back. Don't forget that Manchester United has a fine tradition of making efforts in the second half of the season. Manchester City is now at the top of the standings, but Whether they will still be in that position after the league is over, we need to ask Manchester United if they agree."
The coach angrily criticized Manic, and Gao Xiaodong naturally could not stand idly by. When reporters asked him why Manchester United conceded so many goals at home, Gao Xiaodong said: "Everyone wants to win the derby, but no one thinks highly of Manchester City. This It was the fundamental reason why we lost.”
The reporter then asked: "Manchester City's performance this season is no worse than yours. Why do you despise them? Is it because they are an upstart?"
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "Do you think we are interested in paying attention to Manchester City's results? Manchester City is indeed very good this season, but I believe that in the end the championship will still be ours."
The reporter asked again: "In this game, Manchester City showed that it is not inferior to Manchester United. Moreover, their bench depth is better than yours, and their motivation to win the championship is stronger than yours. Where is your confidence to win the championship?"
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "Our confidence is the 20 Premier League championships in front of us. These championships tell us that as long as we unite as one and go all out, we can win everything."
Ferguson took over and said: "In the season when we won the championship, we were not always the strongest team, nor did we compete with local teams, but we were the final winners."
Manic won a derby at Old Trafford. He was not happy for long before he was ridiculed by Ferguson and Gao Xiaodong. He was also angry and directly interjected: "You can't win the championship by talking, but you can't win the championship with words." When the season is over, let the facts prove who wins."
Gao Xiaodong just didn't want to make the Manchester City people happy. Hearing this, he said: "Yes, you can't win the championship with your talk, and you can't win the championship in December. It's just a game, so don't be too happy too early."
Gao Xiaodong was sharp-tongued, Ferguson was cunning and cunning, and Manic knew that there would be no advantage in talking, so he simply refused to answer reporters' questions and remained silent.
…
Although Ferguson tried his best to downplay the impact of the Manchester Derby after the game and described it as an ordinary game, major media outlets after the game made special remarks about the game and believed that the Manchester Derby was likely to be the battle for the league championship this season. The turning point is that after four years of heavy investment by the local tycoons in the Middle East, Manchester City has finally seen results this season. The strong bench strength and strong desire for the championship will help Manchester City reach the top of the Premier League.
"The Times" said, "Maybe you can't understand Jinyuan football, but you can't underestimate the heart of a champion. The victory of the Manchester City derby is the victory of motivation and fighting spirit."
"Daily Mail" said: This is not an ordinary game. Manchester United not only lost because they underestimated the opponent, they also lost because they lost their desire for honor and lacked the motivation to win. This is also the biggest obstacle for Manchester United to defend their title this season.
"The Sun" pointed out, "In addition to psychological problems, Manchester United should also see that except for Gao Xiaodong and Rooney, the players Manchester United can provide are old and young, and they are no better than Manchester City."
"Sky Sports" believes that world football has entered the golden era. The last one to challenge Manchester United was Chelsea, and now it is Manchester City. Maybe Manchester United can defend the title this season, but what about next season, what about the next season, Manchester City every season They are all buying stars. If this continues, how can Manchester United compete with Manchester City? Just rely on Gao Xiaodong?
