Ferguson fell silent. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Molina's introduction, he finally remembered where he had heard the name. In fact, last season, he had seen a picture of the young man in a profile on his desk.

Manchester United is one of the most successful clubs in the Premier League and the most prestigious and influential superclubs in European football, with a well-established youth system and scouts on all five continents. La Masia is one of the best academies in Spain, and it is only natural that United have staff there to find new talent for the club.

Fan Bizhuang's information was written by one of them called Paul. Anderson's scouts sent him back, and in his introduction and evaluation, he praised Van Bizhuang for his ability to establish himself in the Premier League, and his precise passing even reminded him of the former Red Devils No.7.

Who was the former Red Devils Seven?

Naturally is the heartthrob David. David Beckham.

Many times, fans are attracted by Beckham's handsome face and the lace news off the field, but in fact, Beckham was an extremely important part of the Manchester United team at that time, his scheduling, his passing, and his famous skills, a full moon scimitar-like free-kick kung fu, but also the Red Devils' magic weapon.

Van Bizhuang was called another copy of Beckham by the scout, which is quite a high rating.

However, Ferguson was not too concerned at the time, on the one hand, Carrington continued to emerge with young players with potential, and secondly, he was very satisfied with the team's current squad and was not keen on new recruits for the time being. Of course, the evaluation of "Little Beckham" may also be one of the most important reasons why he is reluctant to pay too much attention to this young man, although Lord Ferguson does not want to admit it, but the fact is that breaking with Beckham, who was once in love with father and son, is a memory that he does not want to look back.

So the matter was closed, and Fan Bizhuang's information was also shelved. This is also a very normal thing, Fan Bizhuang is a young nobody, if he wants to be famous or not, if he wants to be influential or influential, he has not even proven himself in the professional arena, and it is reasonable for Ferguson not to look down on himself.

Later, Ferguson heard that Arsenal had a crush on the Oriental teenager from La Masia, but was refused, so he also used it as a joke and mocked Arsene Wenger.

Ferguson didn't expect that the world was so wonderful, and the young man who was about to be forgotten by him suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, which made him feel that the world was really small.

But it was just a sigh of emotion, and Ferguson, who got the answer, suddenly lost interest in continuing the conversation, took a deep look at Fan Bizhuang, who was still pretending to be an ostrich, nodded at the two Molina, and then turned his head and stopped talking.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The qualifying stage of the European Championship is divided into seven groups, with the rule that the top two teams from each group qualify and receive tickets to Austria and Switzerland.

England are in Group E, which is Group 5. The strongest team in this group is undoubtedly England, with one of the best leagues in the world and a host of top stars, who are the favourites to finish first in this group.

They were followed by Croatia and Russia.

However, England are not in a good position right now, and as qualifying has come to an end, they are temporarily third in Group E, with Croatia sitting high at the top of the table, followed by Russia, who have one point more than England and are helpless to hold the Three Lions behind.

The Three Lions, with their star-studded roster of stars, have been in a poor run of European Championship qualifying, losing not many games but drawing in plenty of games, including two games against the likes of Andorra and Macedonia, with just one point in them.

When facing weak teams, Croatia and Russia are grabbing points, but England is standing still, how can they not drop the chain? On top of that, England were disappointing when it came to their most direct rivals, losing away to Croatia and then holding them to a draw by the Polar Bears in Siberia.

It is strange to lose points needlessly with weak teams, and to compete directly with competitors and not be able to grab points, so the situation does not fall into a predicament.

England are now in a precarious position, and if they fail to grab as many points as possible in their final qualifying games and pray that Russia will make a mistake, they will likely miss a continental tournament for the first time since 1996.

England fans are well aware of this situation, so from the very beginning of the game, the singing and shouting never stopped, and they are using this way in the hope of bringing more motivation and strength to the team.

The atmosphere at Wembley Stadium was lively, and in that heat-and-go atmosphere, the long-languishing Three Lions were buoyed by a superb first half, coming back from a surprise loss in the opening kick-off, and before half-time, Steven Gerrard's long-range shot and John Terry's header gave them a temporary comeback.

The home fans sang and danced in their seats, and everyone had a look of excitement and anticipation on their faces. The game looks to be going well and England look like they will have no problem beating Croatia at home, which is a big game and a three points will not only close the gap on the Plaid Army, but also potentially go one step closer to second place in the table.

Molina waved and cheered in the crowd, so excited that those who didn't know might have thought he was an England fan.

Fan Bizhuang teased speechlessly: "Are you an England fan? They're temporarily ahead, why are you so excited? ”

"How can you say that, Fan, don't you think that Steven's long-range shot is very powerful? Ha, I'm a Steven fan, I like his style of playing, it's very passionate and powerful......" The scene was too noisy, Molina could only shout in response, "The most important thing is that England is a famous traditional powerhouse, if they can't qualify for the European Championship finals, then Steven, David, Terry and other performances will not be able to be staged in Austria and Switzerland, which is a loss for the fans, and this European Championship will also lose a lot of color!" ”

Vela nodded and added: "I'm not really a fan, but I still want England to win, I've been here for many years, this is my second country, I support them." ”

"It's a good idea, but I don't think England have a good chance of winning......

Fan Bizhuang said this, but Molina and the two didn't believe it at all, and continued to cheer for their favorite team, but the "bad old man" who had a stubble before turned his head again.

"I'm curious, why do you think England don't have much chance of winning?" Ferguson asked curiously, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

In the first half, although England came from behind and temporarily exceeded the score, but in fact, Croatia's performance was not bad, they did not fall behind on the field, England attacked fiercely, but the Plaid Army advanced and retreated in a certain way, patiently maneuvered with it, whether it was defense or counterattack, it was quite orderly.

The two goals of Steven Gerrard and John Terry are almost a reflection of the individual abilities of the two players, and have little to do with the whole, which is also the actual form of England throughout the first half, they are more using the individual abilities of the stars to suppress the opponent.

Croatia, on the other hand, are completely different, and they use a fluid and tacit whole to play against the home team without flinching.

Relying on stars and relying on teams, these two forms are not better or worse, but if Ferguson were to choose, he would definitely prefer the latter. The role of a star in a team is huge, but the star is not every game, every key moment. Football has always been a team sport of 11 people, and more often than not, the strength of 11 people is much stronger than one person.

Ferguson was able to see where England was lacking because he was a successful manager with a professional eye and he was curious to see how a young player who was just starting out in the professional league could see that. You know, this is England, it's England's home stadium, and there are so many fans, the time and place are favorable, and the first half is even more than the opponent, in this case, 90% of people are estimated to think that England has a better chance of winning.

But the little guy did come up with a different opinion, which piqued Ferguson's interest again.

This time, Fan Bizhuang finally replied, but his answer was that Ferguson couldn't laugh or cry.

"Guess." Fan Bizhuang replied very seriously.

“……”

Fan Bizhuang paused, and said: "It's indeed a guess, but there is also a basis." My coach once told me that team strength is better than individual strength, and I don't particularly agree with that, but most of the time, it is, because stars can't be amazing all the time, and football as a whole is more threatening. ”

"Can a star be able to play well for 90 minutes? Probably not, but Croatia's team football is likely to be maintained at a very high level throughout the game. Croatia are not without the ability to fight back, and if England cannot maintain their press, they are likely to be counterattacked by their opponents. ”

"That's your judgment?" Ferguson asked softly.

"Also, Croatia are not without stars, they also have players who can decide the direction of the game!" Fan Bizhuang smiled.

Ferguson nodded, yes, Croatia has a whole and an individual, England don't look at it now, they can suppress the opponent, but their performance is very scattered, in the long run, can they really hold on?

In this regard, Ferguson said that he is not optimistic. (To be continued.) )
