Chapter 102: Manchester City is too "despicable".
"I hope the fans on both sides can maintain restraint, football games, after all, you have to use strength and feet to speak, for the upcoming Manchester derby, we will go all out, we will use football to beat the opponent!"
"Please exercise restraint, we don't want to see any more brawls, it's a fatal blow to the club's image!"
"If you love football and love the club, please be sensible about this time!"
At a time when the fans of the two teams were seriously opposed, and the whole Manchester City was in an atmosphere of faint fierce agitation, Manchester City Club couldn't sit still at first, they called on the two fans to maintain emotional restraint, and asked their fans to deal with the incident rationally, and promised the fans that they would go all out in the next derby and try their best to win the opponent, so as to calm the restless emotions of the fans.
Manchester City's purpose in doing this is very simple, the derby is imminent, they should focus all their energy on preparation, rather than let the impact of the "mall brawl" further expand and worsen, if the whole city is plunged into chaos because of this, and even trigger a larger conflict, it will be a heavy blow to both Manchester City and Manchester United, and people's impression of Manchester football may fall to the bottom.
More seriously, if this triggers the English FA to punish the two clubs, it will be more than worth the loss.
Manchester United officially came out to reassure the fans, as a world-class football club, Manchester United also did not dare to fall behind, almost at the same time, Manchester United also came forward to reassure the fans, asking the fans to calm and restraint.
Manchester United's official approach can be regarded as showing the bearing and self-cultivation of a big club, but on the day of the derby, Red Devils coach Alex Ferguson, who had not expressed any opinions and comments in public, suddenly made shocking words.
In the impression of British and European fans, Ferguson is an extremely dignified manager, he is strict with the team, and if a player fails to meet his requirements or violates his rules, the old Scottish man will be furious.
Ferguson is indeed an extremely tough coach, but on the other hand, Ferguson is also an extremely protective person, which is why he is so "tyrant", but he is still loved and respected by the players.
After this "mall brawl", Ferguson did not punish Fan Bizhuang and Kaka for the first time, after understanding what happened, Ferguson decided to look at the FA's attitude before deciding to respond and punish - to be honest, although the outside world is boiling and asking the FA to punish Fan Bizhuang and Kaka severely, but Ferguson is not too worried, strictly speaking, although Fan Bizhuang and Kaka are involved in this incident, there is also a reason, Protecting your loved ones is an excellent reason, and after all, it is off the field, and the FA does not have much reason to intervene, and it should be the judicial authorities to file a lawsuit against the two players, according to the normal legal process, the two players may be subject to some warnings and penalties for their actions, but they have nothing to do with football.
More importantly, even if the FA is nosy with rats and wants to insert a lever to brush up on its presence, with their usual procrastination efficiency, they intervene, investigate, collect evidence, and check...... After this whole process, the devil knows when they will be able to make a decision, so in the short term, at least for this month, Fan Bizhuang and Kaka will not have much trouble, at least it will not affect their normal play for the team.
In football, Ferguson is not worried, what he is annoyed about is that the player has caused such a big trouble in private, which has brought such a bad impact to the club, especially Fan Bizhuang, since he joined Manchester United, this is the second time that something similar has happened, to say that Fan Bizhuang is not a "troublemaker", Ferguson is not convinced.
Normally, Ferguson would have punished the two who "committed the crime" within the team, but the problem is that the object of this incident is Manchester City, the relationship between Manchester United and Manchester City is obvious, and it is not right to use violence off the field, but it also has to divide people, at least in the hearts of Manchester United fans, the current Van Bizhuang and Kaka are heroic figures.
Pair up with the fans of the sworn enemy, protect their loved ones, and act angrily...... No matter how you look at it, there's nothing wrong with that.
Ferguson decided to suspend the punishment of the two in the team, he was very experienced and did not express any verbal opinions in the most turbulent period of the incident, but he was born with a "calf protector", but he did not intend to admit it so easily, the outside world to his own players, his own team's criticism and abuse, he firmly remembered it, and when the derby was about to start, Ferguson saw the opportunity to make a counterattack.
'I don't want to talk about everything that happens in the mall, I want to say that I'm proud to have players like that, who protect their loved ones and their fans, and that's the best thing for the club.'
In the pre-match press conference, Ferguson defined the incident, and it was quite a bit of a "stealing pillar", describing Van Bizhuang and Kaka's actions as protecting relatives and fans from being involved.
Of course, this is only a passing mention, and Ferguson focused more on the "disgraceful role" played by Manchester City in this incident: "The subsequent development of this incident will naturally have the relevant judicial organs to make the fairest judgment, I don't want to say anything more, just wait for the result." I would also like to say that Manchester City fans have been really disappointed in this incident. The whole world knows that the Manchester derby is in full swing, but they provoke and abuse the United players in public, provoke them by hurting their loved ones, and then beat up my players...... What are they trying to do? Look at the injuries on Izeksen's face, they're committing a crime! ”
"Football is a sacred sport, on the field, whether the result is won or lost, we can accept it, but it is shameful to use such despicable means off the field to hurt the players, the purpose is to hinder the players' performance in the game......"
"Maybe they did it on purpose, maybe they got the advice of the club behind them...... Of course, this is just my speculation, and please forgive my speculation, whoever sees their players being treated unfairly and rudely will inevitably feel indignant......"
Ferguson's "accusation" in a strict sense suddenly shocked the glasses of all reporters at the press conference.
Strictly speaking, the truth of the incident is clear and unmistakable, and it may be excusable, but the involvement of Van Bizhuang and Kaka is also indisputable, and Ferguson is good, avoiding the important and ignoring the serious, and even speculating about the behavior of the opposing fans with the greatest malice, and calling it maliciously instigated, in order to prevent Manchester United's two top stars from meeting the upcoming derby in the best condition, which is completely nonsense.
Ferguson's brain hole was so big that everyone present was dumbfounded, especially Manchester City coach Mancini, who was sitting next to the conference table, was so angry that his face turned blue under this unwarranted and malicious "accusation".
Such a reversal of black and white and malicious speculation in Ferguson really refreshed Mancini's three views on this old-timer.
And Ferguson, who threw off the burden and hit the opponent hard, was obviously very satisfied, and left the press conference scene flutteringly, with a look full of indignation on his face when he left, as if he was completely upset that his players were maliciously hurt by the opposing fans.
In fact, this is a small trick played by Ferguson, on the one hand, to exonerate his two disciples, and on the other hand, it may not be that he deliberately provoked Manchester City.
As long as people with a clear mind basically understand that Ferguson is talking nonsense, but obviously, there are many sober people, but there are also many "conspiracy theories", or rather, knowing that this is Ferguson's trick, many reporters are still willing to believe it - this is a good gimmick, and it can be a wave of hot news.
Mancini, who was very angry, was surrounded by reporters from all sides before he could recover his strength.
"Coach Roberto, do you agree with what Sir Alex said?"
"May I ask if this incident is really the ...... of Manchester City FC behind the scenes"
"Is your aim to keep two of United's key players out of action ahead of the Manchester derby?"
"Was this a well-planned act...... Or rather,...... Conspiracy? ”
The scene of the press conference was chaotic, and Mancini was already subjected to malicious speculation and criticism of the traumatized heart, and then he was hit by a critical attack, and he gritted his teeth with hatred for the shameless Ferguson.
……
Despite Mancini's headache on the other side, Alex Ferguson left the press conference and returned to the visiting dressing room.
Manchester United's current momentum in the league is unstoppable, and back-to-back wins are enough to scare any opponent.
However, this round of the league is also a big challenge for Manchester United, and the game with Manchester City is bound to not be so easy, the derby has always been difficult, which has nothing to do with strength, after all, it is difficult to tolerate two tigers, for victory, no matter which team, is extremely important.
Coupled with the fact that it is an away game, it must be even more difficult on Manchester City's turf.
Before that, Ferguson had a lot of confidence in his team, but the incident between Van Bizhuang and Kaka suddenly happened in midweek, and he was worried that the team would be affected by public opinion. It is also a question whether Fan Bizhuang and Kaka, who were pushed to the forefront by the media, can cope with the best situation.
However, fortunately, as Ferguson expected, the court summons did not affect Van Bizhuang and Kaka to play for the team, and although the FA intervened in the investigation, the results did not come out so quickly, so in this game, Van Bizhuang and Kaka still entered the starting lineup.
Of course, it's one thing to be able to play, it's another thing to be able to perform in the game, the reason why Ferguson will say such a "shocking word" at the pre-game press conference, on the one hand, is out of the calf protection temperament, launched a counterattack, on the other hand, he is worried about the prospects of the game, no matter how big the storm is, he will stand in front of the team, he will attract all the public opinion firepower, only hope that his players can go all out to face the game.
On the way back to the dressing room, Ferguson's mind kept flashing through his mind, but when he walked into the dressing room to face the players, his face returned to his usual majesty and confidence.
He is such a person, he will use all kinds of means against opponents, but in the face of players, what he gives to his disciples is always confidence and encouragement!
