Chapter 208: Never Like to Fail
"What a tough opponent to deal with, to be exact, Villarreal with that kid is a tough bone to gnaw."
Ferguson sighed lightly, looked calmly, and looked at the group sitting at the bottom, these are members of his coaching team, after the semi-final opponent came out, Manchester United has been targeted at Villarreal research and arrangement, but in the past two rounds of La Liga, Villarreal and Van Bizhuang showed a hot state, which made Ferguson's heart very heavy, so he summoned his subordinates, hoping that his team could come up with a more effective plan to contain the opponent.
In fact, the focus of the discussion among the staff of the coaching staff is on Fan Bizhuang, after all, the two teams are also very familiar with each other, and they have played each other twice this season, and they are very clear that Villarreal's overall strength is not weak, but it is just not weak, the biggest difficulty is to focus on the teenager, that guy is too terrifying for Villarreal's strength.
Ferguson also understood this, pondered for a while, and said loudly: "The Champions League semi-final is imminent, for our opponents, everyone has any ideas and opinions, you can say it." ”
As soon as the words fell, the coaches expressed their opinions.
'Villarreal are a quality to be reckoned with, we've had two meetings this season and we haven't taken advantage of anything, so I think we have to give it our all and not be careless.'
'They are very dangerous in attacking quickly and my advice is to play steady, especially when the first leg is played at home and we have to make sure we don't concede as many goals as possible or concede as few goals as possible, and then try to win or score more away goals with a better team. Thus seizing the upper hand in the two-round battle. ”
"No, no, no, I have the opposite opinion with you. First of all, I have to admit that they are a good team, but we have the advantage overall. On top of that, we have a lot of players who can decide the game, Wayne, Cristiano, Ryan...... They all have the ability to wreak havoc for the team! And what about Villarreal, IMHO, they are the most threatening only Fan. My suggestion is to contain Fan and then use our whole body to suppress the opponent. ”
"Hah, that's a good idea, but I want to say that it's all nonsense! Indeed, Van is the absolute core of them, and as long as he is contained, the threat of Villarreal can be greatly reduced. But the question is, do we have a good way to stop him? In the previous two rounds, we paid a lot of attention to him, but what about the result...... Hum! ”
"That's true, I have to say that although Van is young, he, like Cristiano, is a real genius! Is there a team in the Premier League that can pat their chests and say they can keep an eye on Cristiano and make him do nothing for the whole 90 minutes? No! And Fan is the same, trying to make him completely silent for ninety minutes, which is a very difficult task! ”
"It's difficult, but we have to try. As long as we can cause trouble for Van then our win rate will increase dramatically. ”
There was a lot of noise in the conference room, some people put forward opinions, some people refuted, some people agreed, and many people argued together.
Although there are different opinions and quarrels, no one objects to the fact that Villarreal's most threatening player is Van Bizhuang, and the core of the debate is only the question of whether it can be contained.
"I agree with Muhrenstin."
In the noisy noise, Ferguson let out a faint voice, his hand was gently raised in mid-air, and the conference room suddenly fell silent.
Ferguson has the supreme authority in Manchester United, his orders are everything, and now that he has set the tone, then everyone doesn't have to argue about it, just follow his train of thought and provide solutions.
"Tell me, Mullenstine, do you have any good ideas?"
Ferguson looked at his assistant with a calm gaze.
Mulensding paused, and muttered slightly.
In fact, the members of the coaching team are arguing about whether to focus on Fan Bizhuang. Some people believe that Van Bizhuang, who is in excellent form, is the same as Cristiano. Ronaldo, like that, is almost incomprehensible, so instead of spending a lot of money to keep up with the defense, it is better to put more energy into the team's attack, after all, Manchester United's overall strength is a little stronger, as long as they have more achievements than their opponents in attack, then even if Van Bizhuang plays well in the game, the situation will still be beneficial to Manchester United.
Another part of the coach is that Fan Bizhuang is a "time bomb", I don't know when it will explode, and I don't know when he will stop once he breaks out, if such a dangerous person is allowed to stir up trouble in the game, then it is likely that Manchester United is not as good as the opponent in attack, if the opponent has more goals in the two legs than Manchester United, then what awaits them is only to be eliminated from the competition. Such a "phobic ... Terrorists", you must guard against it, otherwise it is no different from looking for yourself.
Muhrensteen, on the other hand, adheres to the second point of view. I have to say that in the first two meetings of this season, Fan Bizhuang left a deep impression on him, and to some extent, the opponent is more dangerous than Cristiano, at least this season, Cristiano Ronaldo's goals are not as good as the opponent.
If they really relax their guard against Fan Bizhuang, then if the opponent goes crazy in the game and has a hat-trick or a big four, then Manchester United really wants to cry and has nowhere to go.
However, although Mulensteen saw that Van Bizhuang was a huge threat to the team, he really didn't have any good ideas if he came up with a specific plan. The reason why a superstar is a superstar is because of his uncontrollability, if it is really so easy to be targeted and disappear, then it is not worthy of the title of superstar.
After thinking about it for a moment, Mulensteen offered a decent board approach.
"In the first round, Gary caused a lot of problems for that guy before halftime, so I think this game can be used by Gary to keep an eye on it. Of course, we also need to equip him with a follower, Gary has a lot of experience, but after all, he is not young, if he always runs with the other party, Fan can even drag Gary down with his abundant physical strength. ”
"Yes, my point of view is that two people will defend, Gary will be in charge and the other one will be on the sidelines. Two people working together to contain can have a good deterrent effect. ”
Ferguson nodded, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes, such a method had been tried in the second leg of the meeting between the two teams, and the effect was some, but the final result still failed to contain Fan Bizhuang.
Ferguson was still pondering, and the coaches below were arguing again.
"Two people doing the defense, ha, it's funny. We don't know the situation of the last duel! But the result? Hmph, my opinion is that two people are not enough, at least three, or four! ”
"Great idea! So can I assume that your point is that we don't have to play on the field anymore, we just need the whole team to revolve around Fan? Except for the goalkeeper, all ten people went to defend Fan, ha, no matter how powerful he is, he can't break free from the cage of ten people, right? ”
"I don't think we need to have a duel, just throw in the towel! I agree with Muhrensdine's suggestion that we should not take Fan lightly and laxly. However, we should not invest too many troops, otherwise there will be a shortage of manpower in other places. My opinion is that regional joint defense should be carried out. Whoever is closer to Fan has the responsibility to guard it. ”
"I think you should start with the pass. No matter how good Fan is, he is only one person, as long as he gets stuck with the player who passes the ball to him, then his threat will plummet. Full-time defense, it is better to press the whole court, so that it is difficult for the opponent to play the ball, and if Fan can't get the ball, there is no threat. ”
Looking at the lively meeting room like a vegetable market, Ferguson slapped the table heavily, and there was no joy or anger on his face.
The room was quiet again.
With his majestic gaze slowly sweeping over everyone's heads, Ferguson finally made a decision.
"Let's follow Muhrenstin's suggestion to lay out a targeted plan."
"Another ......"
Ferguson shook his head, his assistants' advice was almost the same as what he had said before the second round, and he knew that it would be almost impossible to defend Van Bizhuang for 90 minutes, but he still had to make that choice because he couldn't let the opponent run wild on the pitch.
"Tell Gary that there are other players who can move a little bit more in the game. As long as you can block the opponent's attack, it is ...... Get a card, if necessary. ”
With such a sentence, Ferguson turned and walked out of the conference room, leaving only a group of coaches looking at each other.
Ferguson's meaning is already obvious, that is, to target Fan Bizhuang, even if it is a foul, even if it is a drag, do not give the other party a chance to play easily.
Can the action be appropriately larger?
Does the meaning of this sentence still need to be explained? Obviously, this is a few lethal foul tactics against Fan Bizhuang.
After a brief period of stunned, the coaches went their own way, and the boss set the tone, whether they agreed or disagreed, and could only prepare and arrange around this tactical intent.
It was Muhrenstin, who looked at his boss who had disappeared outside the door of the conference room, and his eyes were full of wry smiles.
As one of Ferguson's right-hand men, he is well aware of Ferguson's admiration and affection for Van Bizhuang. But now, Ferguson is going to be "ruthless" to the players he likes so much.
That's really ......
"The boss is still the boss, there is nothing more important than victory. Boss he ...... I never like to fail! ”
