Ferguson looked blank and pulled out the usual tonge gum from his pocket, neatly tore off the package and threw it into his mouth to chew.

Although he was rather dismissive of Borussia Dortmund in front of the media before the game, the players and coaches in the United squad knew that their manager had never had such an idea.

Strategic contempt does not mean tactical contempt.

Ferguson's desire to buy Ribery is genuine, so how could he not know about Borussia Dortmund's performances so far this season?

When he met Yan Jing at the European draw last season, he really didn't take the other party to heart at all.

Although Yan Jing is indeed incredibly young, the reason why he looked at Yan Jing twice is actually because Yan Jing seems to have a good relationship with Mourinho.

The first time he really noticed Yan Jing and his side of Borussia Dortmund was in their 3-0 thrashing of Real Madrid last season.

It's a fact that Real Madrid were demoralized at that time, but without the right tactical arrangement, it will still be difficult for you to overcome those superstars.

Then he took a look at Dortmund's results in the Bundesliga, and when he saw Dortmund second in the high standings, Ferguson was indeed a little surprised.

You must know that the last time Dortmund was on the pages of English newspapers was because they were in the relegation zone and were about to go bankrupt.

At this time, Ferguson checked Yan Jing's information, and when he saw the words twenty-five years old in the age column, he couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

Hell, twenty-five, head coach of a Bundesliga team, how did he do it?

Ferguson raised his hand and touched his chest with a pacemaker, and lamented that the world was so crazy that his elderly heart could not be frightened like this all the time.

From this time on, Ferguson began to consciously pay attention to Yan Jing's development in the Bundesliga.

He found that several of the players he had purchased in the summer window were indeed quite good seedlings.

As things stand, he thought Dortmund would get off to a very good start, but he didn't expect Dortmund to show no signs of collapse so far.

Not only that, but he also defeated strong opponents in the European arena one after another to reach the semi-finals, not to mention his old rival Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, and even the last champion Barcelona was eliminated from the group because of Dortmund.

"David Silva's corner is high by Van der Sar!

Ferguson turned his head to look at the visitors' bench and then at his own bench.

The impact of injuries on Manchester United is just too great.

"Quick, go back to defense!"

As soon as Van der Sar picked up the ball, Thuram urged his team-mates back to their own half to prepare for United's attack.

Manchester United goalkeeper Dutchman Van der Sar has a lot of experience, he looked at his teammates in front of him, Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney were already rushing to Dortmund half of the field, and quickly kicked the ball to Ronaldo.

At this time, the four people in Dortmund's back line have rushed in front of Rooney and Ronaldo, and Manchester United player Park Ji-sung also rushed to the top, forming a 3-on-4 situation.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was holding the ball, faced Dede, he lowered his center of gravity, and the cadence of his feet broke through from Dede's side with a sudden change in his pace.

Yan Jing stared at Ronaldo's movements on the field, and he could clearly feel the progress of the Portuguese.

When he first met Ronaldo, Yan Jing's impression of him was still that of a stinky boy who loved to show off on his bicycle on the court. But after three years of careful tuning and coaching by Ferguson, Ronaldo has grown by leaps and bounds, and there are fewer and fewer lace news off the field, and there are few superfluous tricks on the field.

Thuram also needed to defend Wayne Rooney, who was catching up on the other flank, and he whispered as he passed Thiago Silva.

"Thiago, hold him down, don't let him pass. ”

Thiago led the way, set up his posture, adjusted his reissue and prepared to meet the attack.

In terms of the age of a defender, Thiago Silva is still too young, and Ronaldo planned to directly disrupt the rhythm of the opponent, but he didn't expect the opponent to be quite stable and failed to break through directly.

Thiago immediately stepped up and the Portuguese spun 90 degrees, his arm against Thiago and the ball was passed to the other side that he had been aiming for.

It was not Rooney who received the ball, but South Korean Park Ji-sung.

He was able to make his way to the big clubs Manchester United and get the chance to play from time to time, more because of hard work than talent. Since childhood, Park Ji-sung has spent all his free time honing his football skills to make up for his lack of physical fitness, training and training, believing that hard work can make up for his shortcomings.

His relentless pursuit of his career has led to a significant development in his skills, earning him the prestigious title of "The Engine", described by some as "Oxygen Tank", as he doesn't seem to show signs of fatigue at all.

was able to play in such an important event as the Champions League semi-finals, and Ferguson largely took a fancy to Park Ji-sung's uncomplaining "coolie" characteristic.

Park Ji-sung has never been a crucial attacking point for United, and he didn't give Lichtsteiner a chance when he received the ball, and he quickly got up and crossed.

Yan Jing frowned, and he couldn't help but stand up from the bench.

Oops, there's trouble.

Park Ji-sung's cross was of acceptable quality, and the ball did fall into the airspace of the Dort's penalty area, and several players jumped high to fight for the header.

When Cristiano Ronaldo stepped out of the game and beat Thiago Silva to the ball first, Ferguson chewed gum and he and the players on the bench raised their hands.

"Cristiano Ronaldo——————————!!!"

Seeing that the football was about to fly into the goal by grazing the post, Yan Jing couldn't help but burst out with a swear word: "I fuck ......"

But before he could finish his words, Dort goalkeeper Weidenfeller kicked on one foot, jumped up like a spring, stretched out his big hands that seemed to cover the sky, and bravely struck the ball out with one palm before it flew into the net.

The 60,000-strong Old Trafford stadium is like a pot of water that is about to boil but has been turned off at the last minute, and the bubbles that are constantly expanding on the surface of the water are quickly disappearing.

Despite failing to score, the United fans applauded Ronaldo, and Yan Jing breathed a sigh of relief at the applause.

"Damn, it scared me to death just now, if it weren't for Roman, we would have fallen behind. ”

"yes, yes, it's good we have Roman!"

The players behind him were also chattering about Ronaldo's shot and Weidenfeller's save just now, and Yan Jing's mood was actually the same as them, and he was really frightened.

Weidenfeller was praised by the backline for his outstanding performance, and he also slapped his team-mates on the back to make them concentrate a little more.

The game continued, and the tempo of the two teams was not as fast as it was at the beginning, and they both found that the opponent had enough counter-attacking ability to make a lethal move, so they acted more cautiously.

Another attack from Borussia Dortmund was disrupted by Paul Scholes on touchline and Ribery trotted outside the pitch to pick up the ball.

He could feel from every defensive move they made against him that United were more serious about them than any team they had come up against before.

And not only him, but his team-mates are also being "taken care of" by Manchester United. ”

This emphasis is evident in all aspects, and the most intuitive feeling of the Dortmund players is that the United players will notice most of their small movements and react differently in the next defensive or attacking moves.

With such a meticulous study of the enemy, the most fanatical thing they had ever seen before was Yan Jing.

But now it seems that Yan Jing is definitely not the only one in the world who will pay attention to every opponent, and Ferguson is no different.

The game came to the thirtieth minute, and both teams exchanged shots on goal but neither could come to fruition. The BBC commentator thinks this is good news for Manchester United.

'Borussia Dortmund didn't score in the first 30 minutes, you know what that means? So far this season, about 30 per cent of Dortmund's goals have been concentrated in the first 20 minutes, and their surprise and quick counter-attacks can catch many teams off guard, which is one of the reasons why they always score from the start. ”

But in the first 30 minutes of the game, Dortmund's counter-attack was greatly stifled by Manchester United. Injuries to Neville and Rio Ferdinand have limited Ferguson's line-up to a certain extent, but his tactical approach to Dortmund's players has been quite successful so far, and it is clear that Ferguson is interested in more than just Ribery!

What the BBC commentator said was not unreasonable, and Nafir, who had been watching the game from the sidelines, also noticed the problem, he was a little worried, and asked Yan Jing in a low voice: "Yan, Ferguson's tactical arrangement is too targeted, the team will lose the initiative if it goes on like this, do we need to make changes?"

Yan Jing's gaze stayed on the court and never left, and what Nafir said he had noticed early on.

Nemanja Vidic limited Villa's play up front, and Park Ji-sung's wide range of runs covered as Toure did, and he was actively involved in defending counter-attacks to disrupt Dortmund's rhythm.

The presence of Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney up front has indirectly limited the play of Ribery, Sneijder and David Silva.

They had to come back to defend several times and get back to the vicinity of their own penalty area. As a result, even if Dort's players successfully defend or break the ball, the counter-attack will be delayed, and it will naturally not be able to play the same smooth and pleasing counter-attack as before.

The incomparably detailed pre-fight preparation has always been something that Yan Jing can be happy with, but today he seems to have met his opponent, and this opponent seems to want to fight him in all directions.

Sir Alex Ferguson, you're a tough one.

Yan Jing glanced at Ferguson, who was calm and relaxed on the home team's bench, and there was a flame of excitement burning in his heart to meet his opponent.

Yan Jing stood up from his seat, he came to the sideline, called out to Shahin, who was closest to him, and made a gesture to him with his palms crossed.
