Volume 1: When Heroes Appear, People Pay Attention. Chapter 245: The Scheming Ferguson (Second Update, Please Vote for Me!)

Chapter 245: The Scheming Ferguson (Second update, please vote for me!)

Ferguson's reaction was surprising. First of all, he was the last one to express his position, and he only spoke out after being forced by reporters. In the past, he was very active in this kind of thing. He would eagerly jump out and start a war of words and psychological warfare with the other party, dragging the other party into the quagmire, and then use his rich experience in war of words and psychological warfare to defeat the opponent.

Why was he the last to speak this time?

Secondly, what he said sounded like he had no sense of struggle at all.

What does "I don't really care about the situation at Liverpool" mean? Can he not care? Then there is a ghost! Liverpool is probably the opponent Sir Alex is most concerned about, more so than Manchester City. After all, that was his lifelong enemy.

Now Liverpool is first and Manchester United is second. The difference between the two teams is ten points. If Manchester United wants to finally come back and win the championship, it is impossible for him to not care about Liverpool's dynamics.

But it's not like he was lying.

Because after saying this, he really stopped participating in the debate about this matter. When others were excitedly discussing what trouble Chen Yingxiong's lies would bring to Liverpool, he did not add insult to injury, but Just fell silent.

It's not like he's pretending, but like he's really not interested.

Then some media analyzed Manchester United and found that it was not just this matter. Manchester United had not been involved in matters related to Chen Yingxiong and Liverpool from a long time ago. You can't find any words from Ferguson against Liverpool in the media, and Manchester United players have not discussed anything about Liverpool.

It's like they don't know that there is a team called "Liverpool" in this league.

The media started analyzing it. It's not that Ferguson really doesn't want to pay attention to Liverpool, but the gap between the two sides is really too big now. Liverpool is already ten points ahead of Manchester United. Manchester United sees no hope of winning the championship, so they might as well keep a low profile and focus on the Champions League. Maybe they can win the championship for the second time. Lifted the trophy in this event four times.

So now Manchester United should have no intention of competing for the domestic league championship. Anyway, they have won enough Premier League championships.

Of course, some media disagree with this analysis. What is the relationship between Manchester United and Liverpool? Deadly enemy! A lifelong enemy! If Manchester City is currently ranked first, Ferguson may give up the league. But now the first place is Liverpool. Even if it is ten points behind, how can Ferguson tolerate his mortal enemy to win the championship in front of him?

There's just one problem they don't understand - if Ferguson couldn't tolerate this, why didn't he fight back against Liverpool? The former Ferguson was a master tactician and a master of psychology. What he was best at and what he liked most was to constantly arouse the opponent's anger before the game, argue with them, create troubles, and completely disrupt the opponent's mentality, thereby making the opponent lose during the game. Abnormal performance.

His combative style has become part of his coaching style. How could he not react to the words of his mortal enemy?

This question makes no sense, and no one believes the conclusions drawn from the analysis.

※ ※ ※

Ferguson knows how he has been analyzed in the media lately.

He didn't care, he didn't care at all.

He has his own plans and arrangements.

The current Manchester United lineup is not the strongest in history. They are in the process of changing their blood, and some of their personnel have not kept up.

It can be said that Manchester United, which once dominated the Premier League for twenty years, is in decline. On the contrary, Liverpool has begun their revival after twenty years of sinking.

This is the general trend and cannot be changed by one person's will.

But Ferguson had his own ideas - even if this is Liverpool's renaissance, I want it to come a little later! As long as I'm here, Liverpool won't be able to step on Manchester United's head and ascend to the throne!

So even if he was ten points behind, he never thought about giving up the fight for the league championship.

His current strategy is to keep a low profile and keep a low profile. Behind the first place, he will not let go. Even if he is ten points behind, he cannot let go. Keep waiting for the opportunity, and when the Champions League knockout rounds begin, the inexperienced Liverpool will definitely make some mistakes due to two-front operations. By then it will be time for Manchester United to start exerting their strength!

As long as the points gap between the two sides can be closed, even if it is caught up from ten points to five points, the pressure on the leader Liverpool will increase sharply. In the blink of an eye, the ten-point gap became five points, and Liverpool would become very insecure, and then the thought of "maybe being caught up by Manchester United" would be like a nightmare, deeply ingrained in their minds and lingering. This affects their performance.

Under such huge pressure, it is impossible for Liverpool not to make mistakes! Once they make a mistake, the pressure will increase further, and the pressure will increase, forcing them to continue making mistakes... thus forming a vicious cycle.

And when the time comes to catch up from ten points to five points, Manchester United's morale will be high, the whole team will see hope, and they will play better in this game. A virtuous cycle is formed. Coupled with Ferguson's veteran experience, he is confident in leading the team to complete this unprecedented reversal!

Ferguson has been coaching for decades. What storms have he not seen? What does it mean to be ten points behind? You can still catch up!

All they have to do now is keep a low profile and don't let Liverpool notice what they are planning.

He even wished that Liverpool could get carried away a little more, so that he could take advantage of it. Because the more complacent they are now, the greater the psychological gap will be when they fall down, and the more unacceptable it will be.

It's a pity that Ferguson can't praise Liverpool nakedly. That would be too cover-up and the performance would be too fake. Just like the last time he praised Chen Yingxiong lavishly, he originally wanted the other party to lower their guard, but unexpectedly it was self-defeating and aroused the other party's vigilance. Just because how could a Manchester United manager be full of praise for Liverpool players? It would be merciful not to curse him for breaking his leg...

Within the team, he has issued a gag order to the players. No one is allowed to talk about any topics related to Liverpool and Chen Yingxiong. Even if asked by reporters, don't say anything. You can find any excuse to excuse it, but you are not allowed to say it.

Time has now entered February 2014, and the Champions League quarter-finals will begin within this month. The opportunity Ferguson was waiting for was getting closer, and he didn't want any complications to affect his plans.

He even hopes that Liverpool can go further in the Champions League, at least to the semi-finals.

It’s not that he has good intentions and wants Liverpool to win another Champions League title. But in this way, it will create a situation where Liverpool is riding a tiger, with the Champions League on one side and the league on the other. There are opportunities to win the championship on both battlefields. Which one should they give up? If they don't want to give up both, they will have to pay more, but this is something that this current Liverpool team cannot do. There are big hidden dangers in their defense, and problems are bound to arise. The result that both of them want is to lose everything at the last minute.

Ferguson felt that this ending was not bad for Liverpool - they had a chance to win the championship on both fronts, but in the end they failed to win the championship. Double Asian champions, it is so cool!

The bastards of Liverpool only deserve this ending!

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong, the Liverpool bastard, doesn't know what Ferguson's plans are, and he doesn't pay attention to those voices now. There was so much excitement in the media that I didn’t even take a look.

If you ask him, those are all "the distant barks of negative dogs"!

They are just a bunch of losers. There is no need to pay attention to them. If you do, they will become more energetic.

Martin O'Neill couldn't help but pay attention to this matter. He does have a headache, because Chen Yingxiong said this, which is equivalent to pushing Liverpool to a dead end. In addition to winning the championship, they will also encounter more tenacious obstructions in the game.

But he can't blame Chen Yingxiong. He also has good intentions and thinks about Carragher...

He made a decision - no matter what, Chen Yingxiong would not be allowed to play in the next FA Cup match. Give up the FA Cup directly to avoid having a chance to win the championship in three competitions...

The saddest thing in the world is that you think you have a chance to become the Triple Crown Champion, but in the end you are just a Sanya King...

The game against Portsmouth was the first opponent Liverpool faced after Chen Yingxiong made such nonsense.

Portsmouth is ranked 16th this season, two places away from the relegation zone. Even if they are not trying to prevent Liverpool from winning the championship or avoiding relegation for their own survival, they will still go all out in the game.

So this game was actually very difficult.

Portsmouth took the lead at the beginning of the game. After all, it is their home court, so they still have this ability.

Then Gareth Bale helped Liverpool equalize the score.

Before the end of the first half, Suarez gave Liverpool the lead and Portsmouth fell behind.

During the halftime break, Liverpool's players felt that this was no different from the previous games. Liverpool had already taken the lead, and they only needed to expand this advantage into a victory in the second half. Winning Portsmouth away from home shouldn't be a problem.

Unexpectedly, Portsmouth evened the score not long after the second half started!

After equalizing the score, they immediately changed their tactics and tightened their defense. I hope to get a point at home. For a relegation team, every point is extremely precious, because their relegation opponents may not even get a point...

It would be an acceptable result if we could draw with the powerful Liverpool at home.

But Chen Yingxiong didn't agree.

If Chen Yingxiong had scored a goal before this, maybe it would be okay.

The problem is that Chen Yingxiong hasn’t scored yet!

He is now trying to hit Gerd Muller's European record of scoring in sixteen consecutive league games. How could he fail in this sixteenth game?

In the 84th minute, Chen Yingxiong finally scored!

While beating Portsmouth, he also scored in his sixteenth consecutive league game, tying Gerd Muller's record!

"Ah... Portsmouth was guarding against Chen Yingxiong's goal throughout the game. They defended for 84 minutes, but in the end they were unable to guard against this monster!"

"This is the hero's goal in the sixteenth consecutive league round! He has tied the record set by Gerd Muller at Bayern Munich! This is also the highest consecutive goal record in world football!"

"Although that big mouth is not attractive, this Chen Yingxiong... is really terrifying!"

The commentators exclaimed one by one.

The Portsmouth players were killed at the last moment and collapsed on the ground, losing all their strength.

The results of 2:3 and 2:4 were the same. In the next few minutes, they really had no fighting spirit to fight.

But Liverpool is also relatively satisfied.

In the end, neither side could continue to score, and Liverpool narrowly defeated Portsmouth 3:2 away from home, maintaining their winning streak.
