Eight Hundred and Forty-Seven Ferguson, I Thank You for Your Big Mouth!
Three days after finishing the second round of the knockout round of the Champions League quarter-finals, Manchester City ushered in the thirty-second round of the Premier League.
This time the team is a guest at the Emirates Stadium to challenge Arsenal.
The Gunners are recharging their energy and waiting for work with leisure, while Manchester City is fighting hard and obviously suffers even more.
The two sides fought evenly.
Finally, in the 89th minute, with Yaya Toure's shot, Manchester City won 1-0 away.
Speaking of which, Yaya Toure is also full of resentment towards Arsenal.
His older brother Kolo Toure, who played for Arsenal, once recommended him to the Gunners for trial training. He also wanted to play with his older brother and was full of expectations for the Arsenal trip.
But in the end, Wenger didn't pay much attention to him at all, which caused him to fail the trial training.
This is not a small blow to Yaya Toure.
Now, he's going to get it back on the court.
Arsenal are now fighting for the top four in the league, and Yaya Toure's goal can be regarded as the biggest revenge for the Gunners.
...
A little earlier than Manchester City is another game, Manchester United hosts newly promoted Queens Park Rangers.
Manchester United also won 1-0, but the difference is that Rooney's penalty occurred in the 15th minute of the first half, and then Manchester United failed to create another goal throughout the game.
But the real focus of this game is not this, but Ferguson's formation of a 442 lineup.
Ashley Young, Sneijder, Carrick and Valencia, that's United's midfield.
Las Diarra, who has been making a lot of noise in recent days, didn't even enter the big list.
This is a bit strange.
After the game, some media asked Ferguson about Lars Diarra, but Ferguson said that the team was dealing with it, and the players showed no sign of wanting to leave the team.
"We all know that agents want players to move every season, that's what they do for a living."
"But we are confident in keeping Lars Diarra,
He is a Manchester United player! "
It sounds like there is nothing wrong with this, but it always gives people a feeling of intimidation.
Ferguson is not a good stubble.
It's hard to make money from Ferguson!
...
Three days later, in the thirty-third round of the Premier League, Manchester United challenged Wigan Athletic away.
Ferguson made some adjustments, but the midfield remained the same.
But this time, Manchester United lost 1-0 away to Wigan Athletic.
It was clear to all that United's midfield was off-balance in the game, especially defensively.
Carrick is a seriously underestimated late midfielder, but it is unrealistic to rely on Carrick alone to support the team's midfield defense and interception these days.
And Manchester United can't provide enough midfield support now.
During the halftime break, Ferguson replaced Ashley Young with Cleverly, who wanted to strengthen the midfield, but the performance of the teenager was not particularly satisfactory, which caused Manchester United's adjustments to not work.
At the beginning of the second half, Wigan Athletic scored in the 50th minute.
In the end, Manchester United lost 0-1 away.
Las Diarra was once again out of the squad.
Before Manchester United's game, Manchester City relied on Suarez's two shots and two passes to beat West Bromwich Albion 4-0 at home.
The Uruguayan center came close to scoring a double hat-trick, but unfortunately, he missed his chance and his team-mates also missed chances, but Suarez played very well anyway.
Behind this is also inseparable from the adjustment of the Gaoshen coaching staff.
With only five rounds left in the league, Manchester City has won the league championship ahead of schedule, and their dominance is strong enough.
The remaining five games have completely lost suspense.
The media was particularly harsh on Manchester United's defeat.
According to the current Premier League situation, if Manchester United wins, Manchester City's victory is still a high probability event, but at least it will not be so early, but Ferguson's team loses, which is very dazzling.
At the press conference after the game, Ferguson expressed his congratulations to Gao Shen.
"This is his third season in the Premier League and I have to congratulate him on what he has achieved here."
Ferguson said that in the history of England's top league, it is not easy to win three consecutive championships.
"It's always been the most competitive league in the world."
In the English top flight, there have only been five times in history that there have been three consecutive championships.
The first time was in the three years from 1924 to 1926, when Hasfield won the first three consecutive championships in the history of England's top league.
You know, from 1894 to 1900, in just seven years, Aston Villa won five top league championships, but they just failed to win three consecutive championships.
Teams including Sunderland, Sheffield Wednesday and Liverpool have won two consecutive championships, but no team can win three consecutive championships.
After Hursfield, Arsenal also won three consecutive top league titles in the three years from 1933 to 1935.
Later, it was the peak period of Liverpool in the 1970s and 1980s.
From 1976 to 1990, in just fifteen years, there were ten Premier League top league titles, including two consecutive championships and one three consecutive championships.
With the opening of the Premier League, ushered in the era of Ferguson and Manchester United.
After two consecutive championships in the 1990s, Ferguson took the Class of 1992 and won Manchester United's first three consecutive championships in the three years from 1999 to 2001. After losing the season and Chelsea's two consecutive championships, they won the second three consecutive championships in the three years from 2007 to 2009.
In the history of more than 100 years, there have been only five three consecutive championships.
After Gao Shen landed in the Premier League, he led Manchester City to win the first three consecutive championships in club history.
But Ferguson still insists that Manchester City's investment without regard to returns is not necessarily beneficial to the entire Premier League.
"We all know that professional football is a commercial activity, and it is natural to consider long-term sustainable operations instead of investing wildly in just a few years without considering the consequences. This is unhealthy."
Regarding the sophisticated Manchester City, Ferguson said that Manchester City on the football field is worth learning from colleagues, but Manchester City outside the football field still does not have the strength to become a top giant.
"They want to thank Gao Shen."
"It is precisely because of his profound and excellent coaching that he helped Manchester City build a beautiful palace in a pile of sand, and in the past three years, he has continuously consolidated the foundation of this palace."
"But to stand firm, only three years is not enough, they need to persist for a longer time."
Media reporters are not interested in the flattery between Ferguson and Gao Shen. They are more concerned about Las Diarra's news now. After all, this is a rumor.
The French midfielder has failed to enter the squad for two consecutive games.
Ferguson said that Lars Diarra is adjusting his state, but he also emphasized that in Manchester United, no one is indispensable.
"In the past so many years, we have sent away one player after another. Manchester United has never stopped because of anyone."
"Las is really good, he brings stability to our midfield, I don't think he can be a special one."
Ferguson also implicitly stated that players like Lars Diarra abound in the Premier League.
For example, Tottenham Hotspur's Luka Modric, Ferguson has been eyeing him for a long time.
"He's a real number ten."
Ferguson mentioned the names of several Premier League players, as if he wanted to tell everyone that Manchester United does not have to be Lars Diarra, and there are many different choices.
"Just a few days ago, our scouting team recommended a person to me. I think you are all familiar with it. Morgan Schneiderlin of Leeds United in the British Championship. He is only 22 years old, but the average The game can help the team recover the ball 10.2 times, it is almost like a stealing machine."
"His average pass success rate per game this season is as high as 89.3%, and the number of passes is 61.2 times. In the Premier League, there are few players who can surpass him, even better than the top midfielders. "
"I don't think such a player should be buried in the Championship, so I asked our scouts to start investigating him."
Carrick's passing data in the Premier League is similar to Schneiderlin's, but his defense is much worse. The number of times he regains the ball is only half of Schneiderlin's. Lars Diarra's defensive data is relatively better. But it is also far behind Schneiderlin.
And the pass that Lars Diarra is most proud of is similar to that of Schneiderlin, with no advantage.
Of course, this is also related to Schneiderlin's playing in the British Championship.
The meaning of Ferguson's list of two players, Modric and Schneiderlin, is obvious. If Lars Diarra wants to make a fuss, yes, I will continue to block you until you compromise. Some people can replace you.
Let alone a well-known Premier League star like Modric, a young player like Schneiderlin who has been promoted to the British Championship has performed better than you.
So, French boy, what are you trying to do?
...
Ferguson's original intention was to hit Lars Diarra, trying to suppress the French midfielder again, forcing him to admit his mistakes, so he used Modric and Schneiderlin to exert pressure.
But the media obviously didn't follow Ferguson's train of thought.
Who is Modric?
The entire European football world knows that Croatia is a genius, a player Gao Shen wants to get several times.
What about Schneiderlin?
A midfielder for Championship side Leeds United.
The reason why stories like Prince Charming and Cinderella are enduring is that people are always talking about who became famous overnight, so the British media is always creating geniuses.
In January 2006, Arsenal poached the 17-year-old Walcott from the British Championship team. In May, Walcott entered the England national team coached by Eriksson for the World Cup squad in Germany.
This has become the focus of the entire Premier League and even the football world.
Now, of course, Schneiderlin is not as popular as Walcott that year, but with Ferguson's words, he has also attracted the attention of major European media.
First there was Bolasier, and then there was Schneiderlin. Everyone discovered that Ferguson was really interested in Leeds United.
And Gao Shen is behind this team.
What could be more weighty than this?
But Gao Shen is miserable.
After seeing Ferguson's interview, he really felt a headache, and even had the urge to call and scold Ferguson.
"Ferguson, I thank you for your big mouth!"
