Chapter 818 Derby’s War of Words
Qualifying for the Champions League group stage two rounds in advance. Although they have not been able to secure first place in the group, this can already give Manchester United's main players a break, train their substitutes and newcomers, and alleviate the employment crisis that may be caused by Manchester United's third-line operations.
The game against Wolves on the weekend is related to whether Manchester United can tie the record of 11 consecutive victories set by Tottenham in the last century. Most coaches will attach great importance to it, but Ferguson does not care. In order to prepare for the local derby with Manchester City next week, Ferguson formed a semi-main lineup to train Manchester United's potential newcomers. Giggs, Scholes, and Neville were not even included in the squad.
The young people of Manchester United are very promising. They defeated Wolves 4:0 at home. Rooney scored a hat trick, Hernandez also scored a goal, and Gao Xiaodong had four assists for the team.
This victory, which tied Tottenham's winning streak record, was perfect. After the game, the media finally recognized Ferguson's views after the Champions League game and praised Manchester United's youthful storm. Although these young people in Manchester United rarely come from Manchester United's youth. training camp, but it is entirely possible for them to replicate the miracle of Manchester United's Class 92.
Ferguson said proudly after the game, "If anyone doubts Alex Ferguson's ambition, he must be wrong. I have been here for 24 years, and I will stay longer, and there will be more." There's a lot of expectations. It doesn't bother me that we get praise when we win and doubts when we don't perform well. "I know how to build a team and I've been doing it for many years. . Now I have a group of outstanding young people who will develop in the club. We are training these young people and they will become better and better. They will eventually be able to replace the old players and continue to dominate the Premier League and Champions League. "
Ferguson is not concerned about next week's local derby. "The derby is always special and we have to take it seriously, but Manchester City has never been our opponent. They are just a noisy neighbor. Our opponent was once Liverpool and later Liverpool." Arsenal, then Chelsea, the opponents kept changing, but we stayed the same."
Ferguson also scornfully satirized Manchester City's nouveau riche behavior, "In the past few years, we have seen a lot of wealthy owners become part of football clubs. They enter this field and spend money almost like a kamikaze. , it's still surprising to see this kind of endless spending in today's games. But it doesn't help much. I think in the next two or three years, they will understand that just by throwing money, You won’t get the grades you want.”
Faced with Sir Alex Ferguson's disdain, Manchester City coach Mancini certainly could not give in. When he was interviewed by the "Daily Mail", he resolutely hit back at Ferguson.
"What Ferguson said is not important to me at all. I respect his point of view, but I must reiterate that, like Manchester City now, Manchester United has spent a lot of money on signings in the past. Don't keep talking. Us! Don’t forget, Manchester United also spent 80 million to buy Gao Xiaodong last season. When you want to get a good player, it is very normal to spend more money. This is the market! Chelsea relies on spending money It's successful and I think Manchester City will be successful and that's modern football."
Then when Mancini discussed the championship situation of the league this season, he deliberately ignored Manchester United, which had won 11 consecutive games.
"Chelsea is the most stable and powerful team in the Premier League. From a technical point of view, only Arsenal can compete with them. But Chelsea has stronger physical fitness, which is why they are stronger than Arsenal. , although we beat Chelsea in the league, after the game against Chelsea I told Ancelotti 'I beat you, but you will win the league because you are in a better situation than me and everyone else' .”
Mancini was not as aggressive as Ferguson in the verbal war, but he deliberately ignored the 11-game winning streak that had just happened and created Manchester United history. The competitive Ferguson was of course very comfortable.
Ferguson then held a press conference and angrily criticized Mancini, "It's not Mancini's decision who is the best team in the Premier League. Manchester United has won 11 consecutive victories and set a record for Manchester United. This will go down in history." In the history books, I believe that after the next game against Manchester City, we will also break Tottenham's winning streak, and I hope that Mancini will continue to say that Chelsea and Arsenal are the best teams."
Mancini responded: "Manchester United may win the championship, but it does not mean that they are the best team. It can only be said that they are a team that is good at winning. We may not win the final championship, but we will definitely Manchester United will not be allowed to make history by standing on our shoulders."
The two head coaches were fighting in the distance, and the players from Manchester City and Manchester United were naturally gearing up to help out.
Tevez, the Argentinian beast who moved to Manchester City after not being reused by Manchester United, took the lead in the battle. He said: "I don't care how many consecutive games Manchester United has won or what records they have set. They will not win at our home court. I already I've been longing for the Manchester derby for a long time, I'm in good shape now and I want to kick Manchester United out of Manchester."
Tevez's attack on Manchester United was quickly countered by Gary Neville, "Manchester City now plays in Council House. (In big cities like London or Manchester, areas with poor security are usually nationals near industrial areas. Council House, Neville’s words are meant to belittle Manchester City’s status)”
Manchester United boss Ferdinand is competing for the captaincy. At this time, he will certainly not miss the opportunity to please the fans. He said: "Manchester United cannot win the championship forever, but even if we miss the championship, at least we will be ranked before Manchester City. This is forever It won’t change.”
Rooney's speech was even more simple and rude, "No matter what kind of game, even if it is a warm-up match, we must beat Manchester City. Just wait, we will definitely set a record at the City Stadium."
The way in which Manchester City's talented forward Balotelli participated in the war of words was as different as his own. He said: "Before I came to Manchester City, I didn't even know about this team, but that doesn't matter. From the moment I came, Manchester City has become greater than Manchester United. Mancini said that Manchester United did not play well. He always made a lot of sense. The only one who can play at Manchester United is my good friend Gao Xiaodong, but I will be better than him in this game. If he scores one, I will comfort him after the game and exchange jerseys with him."
The teammates performed well in the war of words. Manchester City had always wanted to buy Gao Xiaodong during the summer transfer, and the annual salary given to Gao Xiaodong was much higher than that of other teams. Gao Xiaodong originally planned to keep a low profile and not participate, but he didn't expect it. Lotelli pulled him out again, and Gao Xiaodong had to respond on his Twitter: "Okay, let Mario score one more than me, and then Manchester United wins the game."
Then when being interviewed by reporters, Gao Xiaodong explained what he said on Twitter, "The importance of Derby is second only to the championship. Although I really want to score goals, I hope the team wins more. Manchester City is stronger than before. They have improved a lot, but they still can't compete with us. They should think about how to get a Champions League spot. The championship is ours."
Before the Middle Eastern tycoon Mansour took over Manchester City, the Manchester Derby was actually inconspicuous. However, as Manchester City's strength increased, the Manchester Derby also became one of the most important games in the Premier League. Before the game, the coaches and players of both sides became more and more wary. It makes the game more eye-catching. According to media predictions, the number of spectators in this Manchester Derby is very likely to exceed that of the previous double red meeting.
