Chapter 264: Sleeping on fuel and tasting courage (Third update, please vote for me)

"In the twenty-eighth round of the Premier League that ended last night, the biggest upset was that Aston Villa defeated Liverpool in the away game! Prior to this, Liverpool had won thirteen consecutive league rounds and eighteen consecutive rounds. They haven’t lost a game in the last 2 rounds of the league... Liverpool, which was ranked the most, was ahead of second place Manchester United by as many as ten points. However, such an invincible fleet unexpectedly lost to a weak team in yesterday’s game. Aston Villa…”

Early in the morning, Ferguson sat in the head coach's office at the Carrington training base, reading a newspaper that had just been published and still smelled of ink.

His biggest concern is still Liverpool.

In fact, he knew the result of this game later yesterday. Someone called him specifically to inform him.

However, he did not have time to watch the video tape of this game. He now had to learn some specific information about the game through media reports.

"...Obviously, Liverpool are tired. In yesterday's game, they were completely out of the game from the beginning to the end...as if the game had nothing to do with them. The only person in the team who performed normally was Chen Yingxiong. He He performed very hard in the game, but it is difficult for a tiger to defeat a pack of wolves. Although he scored a goal for the team in the game and continued his momentum of consecutive goals, this performance did not save the entire Liverpool team... …”

Seeing this, Ferguson smiled.

He is right. No matter how good Chen Yingxiong is, football is still a team sport. This game fully illustrates all this.

Chen Yingxiong scored, but Liverpool lost...

He also noticed a key word in the report: "Liverpool is tired."

Liverpool are tired, they are finally tired!

After winning thirteen league games in a row, they were finally tired!

Ferguson was a little excited after seeing this sentence, and he couldn't help but cursed in his heart.

Because he has waited long enough for this moment! If he waited any longer and couldn't wait, he really didn't know if he could still control those boys.

Well now, Liverpool are tired!

They finally showed their fatigue!

Manchester United has been pretending to be their grandson for most of the season, keeping a low profile and being low-key, to the point of being ridiculed. For what reason? Isn’t this the moment?

Are you tired?

Manchester United bared its fangs and claws: now it's our turn!

The reporters' articles confirmed Ferguson's analysis of Liverpool, which made him a little excited.

He stood up and walked around the office twice to calm down his excitement. If you continue to get excited, there will be problems.

In fact, Ferguson shouldn't be so excited. Wasn't it because the opponent lost a game? They are still seven points ahead of Manchester United. Is it too unpromising to be so excited?

People who have this question obviously don't understand how much pressure there is on Ferguson.

Ferguson is getting closer and closer to his retirement. When he first started coaching Manchester United, Liverpool was the greatest and most successful team in the country. He once vowed to take Liverpool off their damn throne.

Now that he is about to retire, Liverpool, which he has taken off the throne and has set foot on ten thousand, is showing signs of turning around. How can he retire with peace of mind?

The mission has not been completed yet!

He wants to completely seal Liverpool and shatter their hopes of revival. Tell them that even with Chen Yingxiong here, Liverpool will never try to dominate my Manchester United!

He is so excited because Liverpool is really strong this season and has been suffocating Manchester United.

Just before this game, there was a saying in the media that Manchester United was finished this season and it was impossible for them to win the league championship again.

But Ferguson didn't give up. He gritted his teeth and persisted under tremendous pressure.

Now that the moment of dawn finally dawned, could he not be excited?

The decisive moment has arrived.

Manchester United must continue to win in the next games. He knows very well that Liverpool are already frightened. If they continue to put pressure on them, they may collapse!

Losing a game is just the prologue. Under the pressure of two-front operations, Liverpool may make any mistakes!

Manchester United players discovered during training that Sir Alex seemed to be in a very good mood today, with a sincere smile on his face.

I haven't seen this scene for a long time.

This season, Ferguson has been under a lot of pressure from the beginning, and everyone knows this.

Because Liverpool's results this season are really good, and Manchester United is a bit unsatisfactory...

There is a lot of gossip outside about Manchester United, and some of it is directed at Manchester United's head coach Ferguson. Think he's the reason why the team has been so bad this season because he's old. It is precisely because he refused to step down as Manchester United coach when he got old that Manchester United continued to rest on its laurels and fell to where it is today.

It's long past time for Manchester United to change their team. This kind of blood change is not about changing players, but changing the head coach. Those critics who believed that Ferguson's presence prevented United from embracing new things, new ideas, should have retired long ago. He had many opportunities to retire, but he chose to stay in the end, which was harmful to the team...

They have completely forgotten that just before this "disastrous" season, Manchester United won the league championship for three consecutive seasons under the leadership of this stubborn old man. If this can be considered as "stopping Manchester United's progress", then I really don't know what is considered as going backwards...

The words of these people were very harsh and unpleasant to listen to. Some of the words made the Manchester United players feel unbearable and wanted to fight against their boss.

But Ferguson, who has always been unwilling to show weakness in front of the media, was uncharacteristically silent. Not only did he remain silent, he also asked Manchester United's players not to tell reporters what they had or didn't have just because they wanted to avenge themselves. To put it simply, Manchester United players are not allowed to make remarks in public that are related to the media questioning themselves.

This decision really surprised everyone. Some even wondered whether their coach had been replaced by aliens.

You must know that in the past, Ferguson announced a ban on this media because the media criticized him, and did not allow this media to interview him and Manchester United players.

He often engages in verbal exchanges with the media.

In media circles, Ferguson is an out-and-out villain.

He was such a person who loved fighting, but he was uncharacteristically silent.

It's really unpredictable.

They can only understand this as the boss wants to take all the pressure on himself and is unwilling to involve the players.

Thinking of this, their admiration for the old Lord increased even more. It is precisely because of this that Ferguson was able to use his authority to suppress the restless hearts within the team.

Otherwise, it is really hard to say whether Manchester United can wait until Liverpool lose...

Because now they all have this idea - they are all over 70 years old, and they still have to bear such huge pressure for the team, but we are so unsatisfactory... For the sake of the boss, we must bite Liverpool no matter what. !

※ ※ ※

In fact, these players don't know that Ferguson is not only trying to bear all the pressure himself, but at the same time, he is also playing the image of an old man in front of the outside world who is no longer able to refute the media's slander.

Doing so will certainly lead to ridicule and slander from many people with ill intentions. But at the same time, it will also give the enemy a mentality of underestimating the enemy.

Ferguson valued the latter. As for the former, after his team made a huge comeback and won the league championship, he would have plenty of ways to deal with those bitches.

On the other hand, Martin O'Neal wished that the other party would ignore him.

He just wants to create an image in front of the public of an old guy who is helpless in the face of the strong rise of a powerful enemy and can only gradually accept the fate of failure.

Let everyone sympathize with him, pity him, and even ridicule him, but they just don't take him seriously.

Then his purpose will be achieved.

When the time comes, he suddenly takes off his disguise, reveals the sharp teeth under this old body, pounces on the opponent, aims at the vital point, and delivers a fatal blow!

Now, Ferguson thinks the time has come.

That's why he was so happy. This was really happiness from the bottom of his heart.

Defeating such a powerful enemy gave him a greater sense of accomplishment than winning five consecutive league championships!

Ferguson has been challenging powerful opponents throughout his life. The fierce battle with Liverpool this season reminded him of the situation when he first coached Manchester United.

At that time, Liverpool was just like today, standing high and people could only look up to this Red Army that was sweeping across Europe.

He also looked up.

But he is different from those who look up to him.

Others were kneeling and looking up, but he stood and looked up, with his hands tightly clenched into fists.

At that time, Liverpool was at its peak, and he was not afraid of this opponent. He even shouted wild words to pull the damn bastard Liverpool off the throne. Manchester United at that time was different from what it is now. At that time, I didn't have the prestige I have now. If he shouted such words, he would only be regarded as an idiot and a lunatic, and absolutely no one would applaud his courage.

But he did it, he really did it. Since the establishment of the Premier League, Manchester United has become the most successful team in England, the most famous team in the world, with the highest brand value and the largest number of fans.

At this time, where is Liverpool?

Now that Liverpool has risen strongly, their position in the standings can only be looked up to, but he remains the same. Even though he was ten points behind Liverpool, he never wavered in his belief in pulling Liverpool off their throne.

Because he was still standing and looking up, and clenched his hands tightly into fists.
