Chapter 195: The Lord's Determination
The team beat Manchester United 1-0 at home to continue to lead the league table. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info For this result, Tottenham fans are naturally extremely satisfied. Even if rivals Arsenal also managed a win over Manchester City, it didn't have any negative impact on their good mood.
In any case, with a number of big players leaving this summer, and even the core of the organization Michael Carrick moving to Manchester United, Tottenham were able to go hand in hand in the league and Champions League after the start of the new season, and temporarily top both tables, which is already a rare achievement. Even the most discerning fans and experts can't say that Tottenham's record is not good enough, at most it is a bone in the egg, saying that Tottenham can only have such an excellent performance with a momentary blood and courage, and when this momentum gradually fades as the season progresses, Tottenham, which needs to face a multi-front combat situation, will soon be beaten back to its original shape.
Tottenham players naturally scoffed at this argument. If that is true, it would be an impossible task for them to finish runners-up in the Premier League while winning back-to-back League Cups and FA Cups last season. So, no one in Tottenham Hotspur took these negative comments to heart at all!
Looking at Manchester United, although the defeat to White Hart Lane in the seventh round of the league has further slipped the team's position in the table, and they have not tasted a win in the head-to-head meeting with George, Ferguson did not have much anger or anxiety in his heart, nor did he lash out at the players after the game. In the lord's view, the reason why Manchester United lost to Tottenham this time was not because the players did not work hard enough, but because the overall strength of the Red Devils was not as good as the relationship between the other side. In such a situation, there is no need for the Lord to blame the players under him, or to demand that they complete tasks beyond their current ability in the game.
What's more, Ferguson has already devoted most of his energy to how to adjust the offensive system in the front court at this time, and there is no extra effort to do these useless verbal battles with the media!
Having witnessed the tremendous lethality of wide attackers such as Pire, Cristiano Ronaldo, who have mastered the skill of cutting inside, Ferguson, who is adept at learning from his opponents, naturally intends to replicate this formula for Manchester United. That way, even if a striker like Ruud van Nistelrooy can't open up the game on the pitch, United can have other tricks to get on the scoresheet.
However, after the clash with Tottenham, Ferguson realised a question that he had long overlooked, and that was whether Ruud van Nistelrooy, as United's attacking ace, would he be willing to see such a change in the team.
You must know that three years ago, when Ferguson brought in Veron, who was in full swing at the time, from Lazio, and tried to implement technical reforms at Manchester United, he was secretly resisted by old players such as Roy Keane. For players who have become accustomed to the current style of play and have enjoyed great success from it, they naturally do not want any changes to the team. Because this kind of change in the tactical system usually brings about the results they do not want to see - for example, some of their comrades who have been fighting side by side for many years have to choose to leave because they do not adapt to the new tactical play, or they themselves lose their main position in Manchester United because of this change!
In the end, Ferguson's blockbuster reinforcement not only made Veron completely fall out of the ranks of top midfielders, but also made the technical transformation of Manchester United not successfully completed until now, and the Red Devils' four-game league championship has also become a dream in this turbulent atmosphere, and was successfully ended by the old rival Arsenal.
That's why, after the Flying Bootgate incident, the Lord would rather risk being drowned by fans all over the world than send Beckham away, forcibly breaking up the midfield combination that has brought Manchester United numerous honours and trophies. Because the lord clearly knows that if he doesn't use this excuse to sell Beckham, take back the team's right to speak, and let these guys know who is the real boss of Manchester United, then this technical transformation may not make much progress for a long time in the future.
Therefore, when Ferguson found out that in addition to the members of the Class of 92 and Roy Keane, Fanny had actually mixed into this troubled water, the lord's heart was more regretful and regretful than unspeakable anger.
"Let's hope Luther (Vanney) will be wiser and give some of his power to Joaquín and them. Thinking that he was likely to send away another general for this reform, Ferguson's heart ached a little, but he didn't hesitate at all, "Otherwise, I can only say sorry to him." ”
For Alex Ferguson, who has already made up his mind to carry out a technological transformation at Manchester United, he will ruthlessly eradicate whoever is on the opposite side of him this time! Even players such as Xiaobei and Ruud van Nistelrooy, who are almost indispensable to Manchester United now, will only get the same treatment from Ferguson!
While Ferguson prepares to deal with the veteran faction that is becoming a big deal in the squad, George leads the team to Turin, more than 1,000 kilometres from London, to prepare for the second round of the Champions League. This time, Tottenham's opponent is Juventus, the overlord of Serie A, led by gold medal coach Fabio Capello!
Because Juventus in this life failed to get Ibrahimovic, the Swedish tower, under the intervention of George, the forward strength of the Bianconeri is naturally much weaker than in the previous life. However, Juve's midfield has also become tougher than in previous games - Dutch youngster Frenkie de Jong, who transferred from Ajax in the summer, has shown great potential in the midfield position, and has managed to squeeze out the veteran Tacinadi and rivals such as Blasi and Appiah, becoming Emerson's best partner in the midfield position!
In the face of such a Bianconeri team with a weakened attack but a greatly improved defensive level, it is extremely difficult for Tottenham players, who have never experienced Italian-style reinforced concrete defense, to take away a victory at the Alp Stadium!
Don't forget, when it comes to counter-attacking, Juventus from Serie A and Fabio Capello are the real connoisseurs. If George hadn't been more guarded, he would have been beaten up by the Bianconeri. So, for this Champions League group stage against Juventus, George's goal is also clear - to take away at least a draw and a point from the Alp Stadium!
After all, it's not a knockout stage where bayonets are red and a little negligence can lead to the loss of all the previous efforts, but the group stage with a high margin for error. Therefore, getting a point away from Juventus is quite enough for Tottenham who are aiming to get a place in the group!
