Episode [214]: The Dilemma of the Leader

The thirty-seventh round of the Premier League is over, and Manchester United is still ranked first in the league.

Now Manchester United's points have reached 91 points, while Leeds United's points are 90 points, and the gap between the two teams is still only one point.

The difference in points is very, very small!

In the last round of the Premier League, Leeds United will go to Old Trafford to challenge Manchester United. This game is very important. The only way for Leeds United to win the Premier League title is to win three points away from Manchester United.

The condition for Manchester United to win the championship is not to lose in the last round.

Therefore, Manchester United now has an absolute advantage.

However, Manchester United's current situation may not be very safe, because at this time, Manchester United must first unify their thinking!

In the last round of the game, Manchester United only needs to not lose.

This just made Manchester United people have different ideas. Some people think that their team does not need to take such risks. As long as they can keep a draw, their Manchester United team will be the Premier League champions.

Because Leeds United are very good at defending and counterattacking. If Manchester United attack wildly at home at this time, it may really be possible to be attacked by Leeds United. It will be really difficult to deal with.

Some Manchester United people think that at their home court, they should use their momentum to suppress Leeds United with offense, so that Leeds United cannot see any hope. And offense is the best defense. They hope that the team will attack and kill Leeds United.

Yes, at this time, the Manchester United people have a lot of ideas!

By this time, they hadn't decided on the tone of the final round of competition. They had to deal with these things, otherwise the final round of competition would be over.

Alex Ferguson called his coaching staff together to discuss this issue.

Alex Ferguson fixed his eyes on his assistants and said, "Tell me, what do you think of this last round of competition?"

The coaches of the Manchester United team lowered their heads and thought about it. To be honest, the opinions of the Manchester United coaching staff have not yet been unified at this time, and each has its own ideas.

At this time, Manchester United coach Whelan immediately said: "Sir, I think we should be on the safe side. At this time, we can't afford any accidents. I want to make sure to get points in the last round of the game, so that we can even win the Premier League title. We consumed too much in the Champions League. We had a very difficult game in the last round. We don't have to play so difficult in this game!"

Although Whelan didn't make it clear, the members of Manchester United's coaching staff understood it.

Alex Ferguson frowned slightly, nodded slightly, and then turned to look at the others.

At this time, Queiroz immediately said: "Sir, I agree with Whelan's opinion. Our last round of the game is to be safe and we should not take risks. This is our home field. We think we can defend this game. One point is enough to win the league championship. And if we attack, Leeds United's counterattack is not vegetarian. Looking at the current physical condition of our players, we really should not attack violently!"

Queiroz believes that Manchester United should defend and get one point safely to ensure the championship.

However, there are some coaches in the Manchester United team who don’t think so. He said: "Jazz, I don’t think our strength is in defense. If we choose our strengths, wouldn’t we use our weaknesses to face Leeds United? I think this is unacceptable. And this long-term love is still at our home court. If we are all timid at our home court, then should we start Manchester United?"

The coach's words have also been recognized by many people, and they all think that they should not have a big problem in defeating Leeds United. This game is still mainly offensive.

Alex Ferguson frowned, and that was the only downside to their lead.

The team's coaches are so confused and inconsistent in thinking, let alone the players below. People like Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo naturally hope to be able to attack, and they will never agree with the team's last round of defense.

In fact, in the end, Manchester United had no choice but to attack.

However, Manchester United's defensive players may not want to attack, because they have all played against Leeds United. Leeds United's counterattack is very threatening. Faced with such a counterattack, their defensive pressure is very high. They naturally hope that the players in front will not rush to give Leeds United a chance to counterattack.

However, at this time, Alex Ferguson has to give more consideration to the feelings of Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, who are the present and future of Manchester United.

In charge of a team is not just as simple as designing tactics and formulating tactics. He also needs to know how to balance the team, figure out the characteristics of the players, formulate tactics according to the preferences of the players on the team, control the locker room, and so on.

Now Alex Ferguson is frowning, and he is also under a lot of pressure.

It's the last round of the game. There can't be any accidents in this game. Otherwise, if there is an accident, they will be counterattacked at the last moment after leading for more than half the season. If this really happens, their Manchester United team will become a laughing stock.

Alex Ferguson's team was brooding, and the Manchester United managers didn't bother.

Queiroz and others knew that they just expressed their opinions, and the team's decision on how to do it had to be decided by the head coach Alex Ferguson. After the decision is made, these coaches will devote themselves to assisting Alex Ferguson.

So at this time, Queiroz and others are waiting for Alex Ferguson to make a decision.

After all, the last round of the game is not long from now. They must set the basic tone now, and then notify the players, unify the players' thinking, and train. These things are the sooner the better, the sooner a decision is made, the sooner preparations can be made.

Adenocarcinoma All eyes are on Alex Ferguson, awaiting the final decision.

After a while, Alex Ferguson said: "We still focus on offense in this game, because we are familiar with this method. We must use our advantages and our familiar methods to face this game, because this is our strength, and we must not abandon our strengths. Only by using the method we are most familiar with will our players be more relaxed, comfortable and comfortable, and we will show our strongest side instead!"

Queiroz and others nodded, they already understood what Alex Ferguson meant.

Alex Ferguson continued: "At Old Trafford, facing Leeds United in the way we are most familiar with, I think our Manchester United team will definitely win. Yes, Leeds United's counterattack is very powerful, but isn't our offense powerful? So, I think we should not think about more things about Leeds United now. In fact, as long as we do our best, our Manchester United team will definitely be able to win the championship!"

Yes, Alex Ferguson is so domineering!

As long as we Manchester United do our best, all problems will not be a problem, and everything will be under the control of our Manchester United team. It can even be said that Alex Ferguson was defiant and did not put Leeds United in his eyes.

The coaches of the Manchester United team nodded one after another, waking up the dreamer with one word.

who are they? They are the great Red Devils Manchester United, do they need to be afraid of other teams?

As long as their Manchester United team does their best and shows their full strength, their Manchester United team will be able to defeat any opponent. You are a small Leeds United team, it is nothing to worry about, and you are guaranteed to win.

Queiroz and others immediately nodded, expressing that they understood what Alex Ferguson meant.

Seeing that the assistants understood, Alex Ferguson immediately said: "Okay, now that the decision has been made, then you should act quickly and unify the thinking of the team. Because the sooner this matter is done, the better you know?"

The longer this matter is delayed, the more it will give Manchester United fans a feeling that Manchester United's coaching staff has no confidence in themselves, and they have not been able to show a fixed dislike for a long time, and they are timid. This time it affected the hearts and emotions of the Manchester United players.

Queiroz and others naturally knew the importance of this matter, and he immediately said: "Sir, don't worry, we will go down and inform the players!"

For Queiroz, Alex Ferguson is very satisfied. After all, the two have worked together for so many years, and there is still a tacit understanding. Alex Ferguson nodded slightly, indicating that he knew.

Next, the coaches of the Manchester United team came to the training ground to welcome a new day of training.

After the end of the last round of the league, the Manchester United team also took a day off, allowing the Manchester United players to have time to rest and prepare for the last round of the Premier League this season.

In fact, this game is also Manchester United's last game of the season.

Manchester United have now been eliminated by the League Cup, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League, and now they only have the league. If they don't win the championship in this category of the league, they will really be empty of the big four this season.

This is unacceptable to Manchester United!

The key point is that Manchester United has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and has led the league for most of the season. If the most popular of them can't win a single championship, it will be really very, very sad, and even become a laughing stock in the eyes of many people.

Alex Ferguson would never let this happen!

Now, the Manchester United club attaches great importance to this game. In this game, Manchester United must win and win.

Queiroz helped Alex Ferguson unify the minds of the players in training.

Queiroz said: "I think you already know the importance of the last round of the game. Although we are leading by one point now, this point is not safe. In the last round of the game, we hope that you can play the momentum of our Manchester United team. Don't give Leeds United any chance at Old Trafford. Use offense to suppress them and let them see how powerful our Manchester United team is."

Queiroz also said: "This is a game that absolutely cannot be lost. I hope you can play seriously and show the strength of our Manchester United team. Win this game and become the Premier League champion!"
