Chapter 706 Premier League Bitter Manchester United for a long time (asking for a monthly ticket)
February 1, 2011.
Suarez arrives in Birmingham.
Aston Villa, for their part, held a meet-and-greet for the Uruguayans.
Suarez unveiled his number 20 shirt, the number previously worn by young Australian midfielder Chris Heed.
The Australian was loaned to Ibiza for a year and a half and the number was vacant, and Suarez chose it.
At the press conference, Fang Jue praised Suarez as an honest young man.
The Aston Villa manager has once again reiterated the dangers of online violence to people and called for a clean public opinion environment.
"Please don't hurt these players who are conscientious on the field and honest off the field."
"Actually, the work of the players is very boring, except for training and games, their life is very simple."
"We should always be kind to these players who sweat so the field and bring joy to everyone."
Fang Jue's words won a full house, at least, the players liked him very much.
It was also in the afternoon of the same day that the Liverpool Echo newspaper published a report by Roberto Quinn, the paper's deputy editor-in-chief.
It can be said that listening to thunder in a silent place.
Despicable 'Ferguson Time'! 》
That's the title of this story.
Different from previous criticism and scolding, this report uses the most simple data and words to show what is called the power of plainness.
“…… In the 20062007 season, Manchester United led 15 of Manchester United's 19 home games, with an average of 19,153 seconds of stoppage time; This translates to four games in which they were not in the lead, with an average of 23,725 seconds of stoppage time.
20072008 season was even more obvious, leading into injury time, averaging 17,829 seconds of stoppage time; Non-leading stoppage time averaged 26,651 seconds.
The gap was even bigger in the 20082009 season, with 19,331 seconds and 29,132 seconds.
Last season, the two figures were 18,631 seconds and 27,936 seconds, respectively.
This season has continued until the last round of league games, and the 'Ferguson time' has intensified, with United averaging 5:11 of stoppage time when they are behind and 3:02 of stoppage time when they are ahead......
Roberto Quinn's article, there is not a single sentence in the whole article that scolds Ferguson and Manchester United, but the response is unprecedented, causing an uproar and heated discussions in the media.
Previously, everyone just talked about 'Ferguson time', scolded two sentences, or directly or referring to Sang Huai saying that Manchester United were taken care of, but that's all, and the impact was not so big.
However, this time I was unwilling.
Data is the coldest and the most enthusiastic.
The most important thing is to see it at a glance.
All readers will take a glance and immediately understand: this is 'Ferguson time', God, when Manchester United are not leading, stoppage time will average at least two minutes more, which is too much!
The leading boss Roberto Quinn fired a shot of great significance, and the other 'anti-Ferguson coalitions' immediately became excited.
It's not just them.
Alex Ferguson once quipped that in the Premier League, all teams regard Manchester United as enemies, and sarcastically ridiculed other teams when they encounter Manchester United, they are crazy to try to stop Manchester United.
This sentence is fully interpreted at this moment.
Almost the media in the cities where the other 19 Premier League clubs are located are agitated.
……
All of a sudden. 'Ferguson Time' has become a hot search in England.
The media has been full of criticism of Manchester United's refereeing treatment, and many clubs have spoken out publicly or semi-publicly to express their concern about the matter.
The FA's phone calls were almost flooded, all of them asking about the topic of Manchester United being cared for by the referee.
Among them, Birmingham's media also waved their flags and shouted.
"The world has been bitter for a long time, uh, no, it's the Premier League that has been suffering for a long ......time," Fang Jue shook his head, he originally planned to calm things down, but seeing that the storm of the uprising was getting more and more intense, the media on Aston Villa's side followed suit.
Well, that is, to make up a number of people and help the field.
A multi-person sport that everyone participates in, if you don't participate, it's not social.
……
Manchester United's Carrington training base.
The players were all whispering, and even Rooney, who was the most active, did not dare to make any more noise.
The old man has been in a very bad mood for the past two days, and he scolds people at every turn on the training ground.
Everyone knows why.
There has been an intensification of talk in the media about 'Ferguson time' and about Manchester United being taken care of by the referee.
It is said that the English FA also held an emergency meeting to study this storm of public opinion.
"It's all that Quinn."
"I know this guy, this guy has always been anti-United."
Manchester United's players are indignant, and United may indeed be being taken care of by the referee.
But what about Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool?
It is common practice in football for strong teams to be more easily cared for by the referee during the game.
Teams such as Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool are also beneficiaries.
However, there is no way, this time the spearhead is directed at Manchester United, and the Red Devils have become the public enemy of the Premier League.
There's a meeting going on in the office.
"This article doesn't look like Quinn's style." Someone said.
Roberto Quinn's guy has always been scolding, sarcastic and ridiculing when he comes up.
This kind of report with data and usual tone really doesn't look like this guy's style.
'The news we've gotten is that someone from Manchester City has given Quinn data and information. McPheran reported.
Manchester United's intelligence team is indeed extraordinary, and such a 'secret' thing has been inquired about by them.
"It's Manchester City?"
"How dare they?"
Everyone is angry, the little brother is going to rebel!
Ferguson's face was gloomy and he didn't speak, and this time the incident made Manchester United very passive.
The old man is not afraid of being scolded by the media, he is not afraid of being led to the rhythm, he is worried that the referee will become very strict with Manchester United because of this.
This is a matter of personal interest.
……
Vardy was a little depressed.
In the game against Manchester United, he came on as a substitute and scored two goals in a short period of time, which was the team's unbeaten record in 50 games.
Jamie Vardy can be said to have made a name for himself in the fight.
He glared at the media happily, but praised him.
The media praised him, but soon, the media attention was on the 'Ferguson time'.
This made Vardy, who had not yet enjoyed enough flowers and applause, a little depressed.
Fang Jue felt that this situation was very good.
He was also worried that the young man would float if he was praised to the sky all of a sudden.
I didn't expect such a big news to break out from the Liverpool media, which can be regarded as cooling down Vardy.
When Aston Villa held an internal meeting, everyone was also excited and amazed by the storm of public opinion caused by Roberto Quinn's report.
Good guy.
Fang Jue also specially called Ferguson and comforted the old man:
Old man, you see, I have given you face, and I didn't say anything after being wronged so much.
However, everyone's eyes are bright.
This matter is so big, old man, you have to reflect on it, what you did is indeed ......
A busy tone came from the phone, and Ferguson hung up the phone.
"It's rude."
February 5, the 26th round of the Premier League.
Aston Villa were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Fulham.
The goal for Aston Villa was substitute youngster Albrighton.
Suarez came off the bench in the second half and did not score, but Albrighton's strike was instigated by the Uruguayan and was a bright spot.
Aston Villa were held to a draw as they extended their unbeaten run to 51 games.
However, the media focus is not on Aston Villa's 51-game unbeaten run, they are on Manchester United's side.
Aston Villa were held to a draw by Fulham, which gave United a good chance to chase the score.
All eyes of England are on the game between Manchester United and Wolves, and they are all watching what will happen to the United game in such a delicate environment.
ps: Thank you very much for the tip.
