However, no matter what, this is still an afterthought, and it is very early, so I won't mention it for the time being.

On the third day of the game against Tottenham, Manchester United first hosted an FA Cup quarter-final clash with Fulham.

For this game, Manchester United did not have a special sense of hostility up and down the team, except for Li Lei's sense of competition against Van der Sar. Among them, the French striker Saha, who just came to Manchester United at a record price of 18 million euros from Fulham during the winter break of this season, warmly expressed his greetings and thoughts to his old boss before the game.

But that's clearly not the case for Fulham, especially Fulham boss Coleman. He apparently felt sorry for Ferguson's forced poaching of Fulham's attacking core Saha during the winter break, which led to Fulham's results dropping immediately after the winter break, and he still haunted the fact that he could only mix in the middle of the Premier League table from the top six at the beginning of the season to the current one.

The result in the middle of the Premier League table may be an acceptable result for the Fulham hierarchy who are only aiming for relegation every season and staying in the Premier League. But for Coleman, this was not the case.

Like those ambitious players who are a springboard for a small team and are bound to go to the big clubs in the end, Coleman is also an aspiring manager, whether it is leaving a glorious history at Fulham or getting a ticket to the big club manager through Fulham, he has a lot of ideas.

Fulham's impressive performances in the Premier League at the start of the season would have given him that hope. Especially in the Premier League last October, the 3-1 defeat at Old Trafford against Manchester United, who had not yet shown obvious fatigue, made him proudly regard this game as one of the most classic battles of his own coaching career.

And this game really gave him and Fulham a taste of being chased and praised by everyone who had never tasted being the center of public opinion.

It's a taste that most people are addicted to just a taste, and Coleman is no exception.

Although Fulham's results inevitably slipped when the Premier League schedule was interrupted, they were able to maintain a good level thanks to Coleman's efforts. Originally, during the winter break, he also planned to rely on the excellent performance in the first half of the season, ask for some transfer fees from the Fulham hierarchy, and make some reinforcements to the team in the winter transfer window, so that Fulham can hit the top six in the table in the second half of the season.

If he can achieve this kind of result for a team that has been aiming for relegation for many years, Coleman feels that he should be able to usher in a big breakthrough in his coaching career at the end of this season. Even if he can't become the coach of giants like Arsenal and Liverpool, the position of a traditional powerhouse like Tottenham should be something to think about.

But just as he was dreaming of this, Ferguson sent a fax of an offer to Saha from Fulham on behalf of Manchester United, but he was given a hard slap in the face.

Not only did he have no money to buy people, but he also had to sell the team's main scorer and attack the core, and such a huge gap in reality immediately made Coleman, who was still dreaming, blew up. When he first learned the news, the head coach even went straight out and angrily rushed into the chairman's office in Fulham, venting his anger very much, and when leaving, he even threw down the cruel words of "Saha leaves, I will resign".

But in the end, he didn't stop Saha from switching to the Theatre of Dreams and going to Ferguson's account.

Fulham has the heart to make a fortune by relying on Saha at his peak, Manchester United also has the heart to pay a high price that cannot be given up for Fulham, and Saha himself has already flown directly to Old Trafford in Manchester when he received the call from Ferguson.

Although he did lead the team to good results in the first half of the season, it was not good enough to directly threaten the club's hierarchy, and although the Fulham fans will be a little dissatisfied with Saha's transfer, they will not make much noise to support him who is also opposed to this kind of drama that the team cannot retain excellent players.

But compromise is compromise, but it doesn't mean that he will swallow this breath. If this breath is to be vented, he will naturally not go stupidly to the Fulham management and fans, but will only vent it to Ferguson and Manchester United, who are labeled as "vicious rich men" in his heart.

In addition, it is unlikely that Fulham will achieve any good results in the league at this time, but the team has already advanced to the quarterfinals in the FA Cup.

There is no way to go in the league, the FA Cup is the last resort.

Thinking of this, and looking at it again, coincidentally and coincidentally once again blocked his bright future Ferguson and Manchester United, under the effect of "new hatred and old hatred", Coleman can be regarded as really anxious this time.

With such a mentality, when everyone was unprepared, he suddenly dropped a depth charge on Manchester United and Ferguson in a pre-match interview, which instantly attracted the attention of the entire English football world.

"Ferguson and his Manchester United are simply a cancer that hinders the development of English football, the strength has declined, and if you can't play others, you will use money to smash other people's players, strengthen yourself, and weaken others, this approach is simply harming the development of the Premier League! In this game, my team and I have to tell them that the last time we beat them at Old Trafford, we can still do it this time! Fulham's strength is not Saha alone, their despicable transfer strategy can't defeat us at all! ”

"Saha? Don't tell me about that guy, he's not my player anymore, I'm not going to say anything about him, that's not bad for my job. All I can say is that moving to United, who already have Ruud van Nistelrooy, was definitely not a wise decision. ”

"Ferguson? I don't know him. But with Saha's transfer, I think I already have a clear idea of the Manchester United legend. What kind of awareness? Hehe......"

"Where does faith come from? We've beaten them before, haven't we, and since we've done it once, there's no reason why we can't do it a second time. ”

......

"Lee? That Asian goalkeeper? He's no match for our Edwin. ”

......

Prior to the interview, Coleman had no intention of attacking Lere. He's only targeting Alex Ferguson and Manchester United, not individual players. But after the interview began, he fell into the trap of the reporter who interviewed him, and the seduction made him so excited that he couldn't stop at all.

Therefore, later, even if the reporter asked some questions with traps, Coleman, who was so excited that he forgot to think, blurted out without thinking, and did not think about it at all, anyway, he said it according to the main tone of belittling Manchester United.

However, he may have just blurted out and said excitedly, but he didn't mean that at all.

But this did not prevent him from saying this sentence directly to Li Lei's heart, no, or it was more appropriate to pierce it.

The night before the game, Li Lei, who had already stayed in the hotel with the whole team, saw Coleman's interview on TV, and he immediately stopped his movements and put down the remote control.

Looking at Coleman, who was talking excitedly on the TV screen, his eyes narrowed, and the cold light suddenly skyrocketed!

Like a cold sword flash!

Eye-catching!!

The forest is terrifying!!
