United's dressing room is deadly silent, from centre-back Phil Jones to striker Fernandes Jr., who has recently returned from injury. They didn't expect that Portsmouth, a bad team in the Championship with no money and no power, would actually lead by three goals at their home stadium.

Wrath; Unwilling; Defeated, Pompey's Legion had nothing to say with every shot on goal, and the counterattack was clean. Phil Jones hung his head down, his face flushed, like a flush on his face after a strenuous workout, and as if he remembered his communication with his opponent before the game, and his face was panicked.

'Don't be too nervous, it's just a normal game, you're great enough in the FA Cup.'

"Margery, I remember you, play well, we will exchange shirts after the game."

……

These words were like slaps in the face one by one, and they hurt hotly.

The Manchester United players hung their heads, knowing that according to Ferguson's character, a scolding was inevitable. The British media like to call the old man's spitting in the dressing room at the players "hair dryer treatment". It looks like a great tool to keep Manchester United's big and small stars in check, with everyone from King Eric Cantona to Gary Neville to David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Only Ferguson himself knows that the hair dryer has been used less and less often over the years, even only two or three times a year. He is also a master who "bullies the weak and fears the hard", and each of the above people is a person with excellent psychological quality, and Cantona dares to fight with the coach. The current Manchester United crowd of young people, no one can do this, they all seem a little timid, afraid of their own power. Football is a sport for the brave and you have to be fearless.

Ferguson said in a calm tone: "Phil Jones, you are acting badly! Then he quickened his pace and began to explain the areas of inaction and obvious mistakes on the playing field.

The young man's head hung deeper, and he listened attentively, waiting for the boss's next scolding at full speed.

"You should be more than that." The lord gave a little encouragement, then calmly walked away to communicate with the next team member.

Phil Jones seemed to be stuck in something, and thought to himself, "Boss, if you scold me, I'll feel better."

The Reds today are dominated by young players, with the only old guys coming up at left-back Patrice Evra and Hernandez up front, who can understand if they don't talk to each other, and this is the cornerstone of the third generation of the Red Devils that he has worked so hard to build. Speaking to young people, Ferguson is used to pointing out his problems directly, and if he looks like his confidence is shaken, he has to emphasise that this is Manchester United and that he must not be allowed to perform at the same level as other teams.

Just like when communicating with Jones, you can criticize, but you have to add encouragement to neutralize it, like "how do you behave like this, this is not your real level" and similar speeches are said to everyone.

It didn't work bad, at least the players raised their heads.

The old man's face turned a little red, which was caused by the surge in blood pressure, and he said in front of the whole team in his unique Scottish tone: "0-3, attack with all your strength in the second half!" We need to take responsibility for what we do, and that includes the mistakes we make, the level of performance, and the results that come with it. ”

'The bottom line for Manchester United is that you have to win, you need to know how much this club expects from you, worthy of the tens of thousands of fans in the stands.

The team's sense of responsibility is the philosophy he instills all the time, taking responsibility for mistakes, responsible for behavior, and responsible for fans.

Ferguson swept through every Manchester United player with determination and unyielding in his eyes, loosening the tie with red Manchester United elements around his neck.

"We'll be watching until the second half!"

How clever was Ferguson's tactics? Not necessarily, there are people who are more powerful than him; How brilliant is the vision? Not necessarily, he has not been gone once or twice.

The greatness of Manchester United under the Lord is that they never give up, believing that they are experts at making miracles, and that they have the courage and perseverance to come back no matter how backward they are. Ferguson's character and soul have penetrated every corner of this club.

"Give them the respect they deserve, or the arrogant army will be defeated!"

…………

Compared to the solemn atmosphere in United's dressing room, Portsmouth is already a sea of joy, with sunny smiles on every player's face.

Hydward was at the door of the locker room, his face unusually ugly.

It was a few steps from Old Trafford, but the stomach problem seemed to be again, and it was constantly throbbing and then extending to the throat. I took the medicine in my pocket and slowly tried to slow it down, so I came back later than everyone else. Sometimes the pain can be sobering, and there are not many teams that can do it when they are three goals clear at United's home stadium, although he doesn't want to admit that he is more or less proud. But the sudden stomach problem was like a basin of cold water, pouring him through.

If Manchester United were a proud team in the first half, I am afraid that the two teams will have to change their identities in the second half, and the scene of the Istanbul night may be repeated in ten minutes or so.

Hydward was immediately encouraged, and he almost rushed in with a kick.

There was a "bang", a little dust fell from the ceiling, and the Portsmouth players looked at the manager who suddenly started a fire in a daze. The locker room suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a pin drop on the floor.

He slammed the magazine signed by Ferguson on the table, and sat down on a stool like a tantrum child. It didn't look like a manager at all, and it ruined his image as a tall hero.

The players looked through it silently, then circulated it one by one, and finally returned to Ward's hands.

"Boss, let's defend in the second half!" Margery is usually the most popular with coaches, and he said boldly.

"That's right! Top dog! We're three ahead! Drag can also drag Manchester United to death! "The players responded and everyone understood the meaning of the magazine. The first half was not a normal Manchester United at all, everything changed in the second half, and the players who had been at the bottom for a long time knew better than anyone how much joy the atmosphere in the dressing room was just like that.

Hydward peeled a banana for himself, and the head coach needed to replenish some electrolytes, and then fell into deep thought.

There was no game in his mind at all, all he thought about was a figure, short hair; white sweater; Black slacks. People will always do something impulsively, for no reason, one is a wonderful woman and the other is a man who is not yet successful, not for herself and for her, this is also a game that must be won.

This round of the FA Cup had already been written by Hydward before the game, arranging the details, and the tactics for the second half. He just kept correcting some hidden dangers in the process, such as what had just happened.

He gathered all the players together and formed a circle.

'I'm not used to lying to my players, you can't keep it, Manchester United have the quality to break any team. In the second half we went out and we needed to be quick on the counter-attack to take the pressure off our defence. ”

"Either Manchester United beat us into a sieve, or we beat Manchester United into a sieve, it can't be the regular score of the first half!"
