Strategically despise the enemy, tactically value the opponent!

That's a very reasonable statement.

As a legendary champion coach with rich coaching experience and a brilliant resume, Ferguson naturally knows this truth, although he has drawn a good signing, and whether it is from the comparison of strength or the record of past encounters, Manchester United has the absolute upper hand, but this does not mean that Ferguson will underestimate the opponent, and there is no shortage of examples of gutter overturning in football.

Manchester United have been on all fronts this season and have made a difference, but Ferguson wants to make a difference on the European stage rather than the league.

In the Premier League, Alex Ferguson's legendary record has been difficult for latecomers to catch up, and he and his team are the undisputed supremacy of the Premier League, but in Europe, Manchester United have not had a good record.

As a world-class giant, Manchester United have only won the Big Ears Cup once, which makes Ferguson somewhat regretful, he is very old, and he can stand on the sidelines for a short time, and he hopes to be able to bring Manchester United to the top of Europe again in a limited time.

This season is a great opportunity for Ferguson to set his sights on Europe with the likes of Van Bizhuang and Kaka joining the squad and the Reds are already hard to beat in the league.

Although the cup competition wants to make a difference, it has always been necessary to have some luck in addition to strength, and both are indispensable. But if the strength is strong enough to a certain extent, then it can also determine the outcome. Ferguson is now very confident in the strength of his team, even if he encounters Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and other teams along the way, he also believes that he and the team can overcome obstacles.

What's more, such a "devil's schedule" has not appeared, and they are only facing a declining giants in a second-rate league.

In order to go further, to be able to win the Champions League again before retirement, then Marseille is the first hurdle that Manchester United must overcome.

Despite his confidence, Ferguson is still very vigilant against Marseille, and for nearly a month, Ferguson has frequently used rotation in the league to give the main players more time to rest and adjust, so that they can cope with the eighth-knockout game in the best condition.

The players can also feel the importance of the manager's attention to European competition, and they are feeling the same, and they want to fight for more in this crazy season when the league title is almost as easy as picking it up. So everybody is actively preparing.

On the 23rd, the whole Manchester United team set off full of energy.

……

When Fan Bizhuang followed the team to Marseille, Lyon, France, under an apartment building, a family Peugeot car was parked, a middle-aged man was busy in and out of the car, he first put all the things he needed to bring into the trunk, thought about it, turned around and ran upstairs, and stuffed the children's car into the trunk.

"Hah, perfect! You're all set! ”

The middle-aged man snapped his fingers, very satisfied with his "masterpiece", nodded, took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one, leaned against the side of the car, and waited while swallowing the clouds and spitting out the fog.

"Bastian, damn it, you're smoking again! Can you go a little further and you don't know that Ms. Bella is allergic to the smell of smoke? Also, the little ones are going to get in the car too, do you want to poison children with damn nicotine? …… Get out of here, please! ”

Mathilde walked out of the apartment building, carrying a large bag in his hand, which contained some of the things that little Fan needed, and when he saw Bastian leaning against the car and smoking, he immediately complained in dissatisfaction.

Bastien, that is, Mathilde's son, saw his mother in a frenzy, immediately smiled, quickly extinguished the cigarette butt, threw it into the trash can next to him, and took the things in his mother's hand and put them in the trunk.

"Haven't I been waiting down there bored? Alright, alright, beautiful Madame Mathilde, please don't be angry, I promise that I will not smoke another cigarette in the presence of little fan. ”

"You're smart." Mathilde snorted, and then complained again, "I really don't know, how can Benjamin stand your shapeless father, without me watching, maybe Benjamin will be 'abused' by you!" ”

Benjamin was Mathilde's grandson and Bastian's son. Hearing that his mother was about to start chattering again, Bastian hurriedly raised his hand in surrender and slipped into the driver's seat.

"Alright, alright, Madame Mathilde, don't complain, Benjamin is my son, how can I not love him. Don't worry, your grandson can run and jump, and his days are happier than his old man. ”

When Bastian was chatting with his mother, Bella had already walked out, holding a delicate and lovely little boy in her hand, the boy was still young, although he walked quite steadily, but he didn't dare to walk too fast, Bella also pulled him tightly, for fear that the child would not be able to walk steadily and fall to the ground.

"Miss Bella, you're here?!"

Bastian smiled and stuck his head out of the window, waved his hand, and then whistled at the boy: "Ha, little fan, you little fellow, you are really walking more and more steadily." Oh, you're a genius, and my Benjamin only crawls on the ground when you're your age. ”

Hearing Bastian praise her son, Bella looked up and nodded gratefully.

Instead, Mathilde reached out and knocked on his son's head, and scolded him dissatisfiedly: "Are you a pig, Bastian?" Xiao Fan is already one and a half years old, isn't it normal for a child of this age to walk steadily? …… What do you mean by that? Are you saying that my Benjamin isn't smart enough? ”

"Gotta get it, it's here again. If I were a pig," what are you, Madame Mathilde? ”

Bastian muttered in a depressed voice, seeing that his mother was glaring at him coldly, Bastian didn't dare to complain, retracted his head into the car, and began to check before driving.

Mathilde stepped forward to pick up Xiao Fan, the little guy "babbled" and said a few simple words, the little hand was still dancing excitedly, obviously, this time he was going to travel to another city, and the little guy was also very excited.

"Looks like you know you're going out to play, so you're having a lot of fun. Ha, it seems that you like it very much, maybe you will be a traveler in the future! ”

Mathilde pecked Xiao Fan's face lovingly, and the little guy immediately laughed "giggle~".

Bella sat in the back of the car, and she said to Bastian in the driver's seat, "Thank you, Bastian, for leaving Benjamin and Ina behind for the time being, and accompanying us to Marseille ......"

"Ha, you're welcome, Miss Bella, I have to thank you, you have offered my mother a job so that she will not be so idle, you know her, there is nothing to do, and Mademoiselle Mathilde is very unhappy. She now looks at Xiao Fan every day, how happy she is. When my mother is happy, I am happy. ”

Bastian laughed, clenched his fists and said, "And, in fact, I would like to go to Marseille too...... I'm also a die-hard fan, unlike Matilde, I'm not a Bordeaux fan, I'm a big fan of Real Madrid, and my favorite is Fan...... You know Fan, right? This year's FIFA Ballon d'Or winners...... He's amazing, he's the best man in the world at such a young age...... Well, although Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are also very good, in my mind, Fan is the best one in the world...... Sadly, Van left Madrid...... But it doesn't matter, this time I went to Marseille, I could see his wonderful performance live, I don't know if I could meet him after the game, if only I could have a copy of his autograph, ha, I can't wait, I can't wait to show up at the Villadrom stadium right away......"

Bastian spoke very vigorously to himself, but suddenly found that there was no sound behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw his mother's beautiful landlady bowing her head slightly, with a distracted look, Bastian hurriedly called twice: "Miss Bella...... Miss Bella...... You're fine, right? …… If you don't like me talking about football-related things, well, I can change the subject......"

"Not like that, Bastian. I love football and I wouldn't want to go to Marseille to watch it...... It's just that I've just thought of something, and I'm a little distracted...... It's okay now. By the way, I just heard you say that you like Fan very much? …… He's a great player really and hopefully you can make your dream come true and get his autograph......"

"Thank you, I also think my dream will come true, ha, I'm not afraid of your jokes, in fact, I write to Manchester United every week...... I'm sure my persistence will pay off and one day, Manchester United will write back to me and Van will send me a photo of him autographed......"

"Yes, it will."

Bella said with a smile.

At this time, Mathilde also sat in the car with Xiao Fan in his arms. She was outside just now, and she heard her son and Miss Bella talking, and she wanted to stop it, but in the end she didn't speak.

She has worked for Bella for so long, and there are some things, even if Bella doesn't say it, she has actually guessed some of them. She didn't know what was going on here, but as far as she could see, she was somewhat upset about Bella, but Bella didn't want to bring it up, and she could only pretend she didn't know anything.

"Alright, stinky boy, stop chatting, let's go!"

Mathilde held Fan with one hand and patted his son's head with the other, and Fan was so excited that he patted Bastian's head with his hand.

"Let's go, let's go, my little ancestor, don't learn from Mathilde, I'm just stupid by her...... Otherwise, maybe I'd be playing football now and becoming a big star. ”

Bastian laughed and "complained", and in the whispers of everyone in the car, the car started and drove quickly forward.
