Chapter 115: Prelude to Enthronement! (3.15 Guaranteed 2)
Chapter 115: Prelude to Enthronement!
Manchester United's management moved very quickly, and it only took a week for them to announce Simon? Grayson's successor, a pure, Reds man with the "Red Devils" in his veins...... Ryan? Giggs!
Ryan Giggs has a high reputation among Manchester United fans, has gained a lot of experience in the Manchester United coaching staff over the past two years, and knows Simon well. Grayson's "solar system tactics" are not surprising that they have been entrusted with important tasks by Manchester United's management.
However, Ryan Giggs obviously has his own ideas, and the "Red Devils" squad is already strong, but he still invested £28.5 million in the transfer market, bought Damio from the Brazilian international team, and also adjusted the team's tactics, and a new 4-4-2 formation was pushed out.
Although Ryan Giggs is ambitious, he has no experience in the first team, even if the current "Red Devils" have the super strength to push the whole of European football, but he still suffered a defeat in the first game of the new season, losing 0-1 to Louis van Gaal's Manchester City in the Community Shield.
Losing the opportunity to become the "seven-time champion" again, Giggs seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and began to make adjustments in his new tactics, and the team's tactics also revolved around Shaq again, but they won two consecutive league games and defeated the "Reds" Liverpool to win the UEFA Super Cup with a score of 3:1.
At this time, Simon? Grayson's debut in charge of the Three Lions also came, as England played their first match in Group 3 of the World Cup European qualifiers at Wembley Stadium against the Czech Republic.
Simon as a world-class coach? Grayson, but there is no indecision, he directly moved his set in Manchester United to the England team, with Shaq, Rooney, Jonny? Howson, Ashley? Hood, Ben? Parker, Flanagan are players he has coached himself. "Brutal Simon" is not worried about the tactical execution of the England team.
In Simon? In Grayson's first England game, the 'Three Lions' comfortably defeated the Czech Republic 3-1 at home, and Shaq scored a brace in the game, and the "solar system tactics" began to play a role in the England team.
After the game, Simon? Grayson's coaching skills have been widely praised and can be seen by all. The fighting power of the "Three Lions" has improved significantly compared to the previous European Championships, and the kind of strength they showed on the field is exactly the same as that of the "Red Devils" when they pushed Europe.
Johnny? Hausen, Jack? Rodwell, Ashley? Hood, Phil? After Jones's midfielders were combined, the fighting power of the England team's midfield doubled, and Shaq could lead the offensive direction of the entire team in the frontcourt, and it was really difficult for the "Three Lions" not to be strong.
After that, the England team also played smoothly, Simon? Grayson led the team to a series of victories such as 7:2 against Iceland, 7:0 against Montenegro, 3:0 against Serbia, etc., and ran at the forefront of the World Cup European qualifiers.
The "Three Lions" in Simon? Grayson is getting stronger and stronger under tutelage, and the time enters 2017. Before England was about to go to the Confederations Cup, England had already beaten Kazakhstan 16-0 away and then 7-0 away to the Czech Republic, winning all the group stage of the World Cup European qualifiers.
Shaq was a great help in England's squad, scoring 12 goals in the team's away win over Kazakhstan, setting another personal record for goals scored in a single game.
However, Shaq's performance for the Reds has been a drop from the previous two seasons, mainly in terms of goal percentage, which he has scored 48 goals and provided 10 assists in 48 appearances for the Reds. Speaking of the efficiency of one goal per game, it is still the first in the world, but the gap is still not small compared with the previous "super scorer".
Simon? Grayson also communicated with Shaq. When asked why he had dropped so much this season, he was told that he couldn't laugh or cry, and the answer Shaq gave was: "Because I'm a father and my daughter is lovely, I need a lot of time to spend with my children."
In August last year, Zong Wan'er gave birth to a daughter for Shake's natural birth. When her father-in-law and mother-in-law asked, Shaq said that after reading the Chinese martial arts novel "The Legend of Deer and Ding", he thought the name was very good, and he naturally would not tell his biggest secret. He would have ...... It's surnamed Wang!
Despite being in Simon? After Grayson's departure, Manchester United no longer had the invincible attitude of sweeping all opponents, but they still won the Premier League, the Club World Cup this season, and defeated Olympiacos of Greece on penalties in the Champions League final, completing the hegemony of the Champions League for three consecutive years.
And Shaq also won the FIFA Golden Ball Award and the UEFA Golden Ball Award in a row, and his goal efficiency has declined, but that is also compared to himself, if compared with other players, it is still not on the same level.
In the Confederations Cup in the summer, England encountered difficulties in the first group game, although Shaq scored a goal in the game, but England's luck was really not good, only one goal was scored in 17 shots on goal, three times on the woodwork, on the contrary, although the French team only had 6 shots, but scored two goals through counterattacks, and finally the "Three Lions" lost with a score of 1:2.
The defeat in the first game made England fans feel that their team's form seemed to be wrong, but then ...... England, on the other hand, went from strength to strength, beating Russia 3-0 and Nigeria 4-1 to finish second in Group A, then beating Brazil 3-0 in the semi-finals before meeting France in the final.
As a result, England relied on Schak's hat-trick and Theo Walcott's goal to win the Confederations Cup after beating France 4-1!
After the Delaunay Cup, the "Three Lions" once again won the international championship, an era in the history of world football that belongs to England...... It's already kicked off!
In the World Cup qualifiers, "the Three Lions were not tested at all, and they won all the World Cup tickets to Russia three rounds in advance.
And this season's Shaq has also performed very well in the Manchester United team. Although it can't be compared with the 200 goals he scored at his peak, and he didn't even reach 100 goals, Shaq's 62 goals and 18 assists in 57 games this season still helped Manchester United win the Club World Cup, the league title, and the FA Cup, but unfortunately Manchester United lost 1:2 to Leeds United in the Champions League semi-finals.
The Young Guards defeated Real Madrid 2-1 in extra time in the final, becoming the king of Europe again after four years. And they also lost to Manchester United by just six points in the English domestic league, and the manager Alain? Shearer also reached the pinnacle of his coaching career.
Just, Simon? Grayson didn't pay attention to the domestic club level in England at all, he knew early on that Manchester United would definitely be the champion of the English Premier League in the next few years, which is why Manchester United nodded and let the English FA get him Simon? One of Grayson's conditions, in England, the English FA will give Manchester United a certain degree of convenience, unless it is the "Red Devils" themselves who do not perform well. Otherwise, the league championship will never fall into the hands of others.
After a tumultuous season, the highlight of the summer is finally taking place in Russia...... The 21st World Cup is here!
I don't know what "Brutal Simon" thinks, when he led the team this time, the players he chose were all young players, except for 31-year-old Joe Hart and 30-year-old backup goalkeeper Joe? Aside from Reeves, none of the other 21 players have reached the age of 30.
And among the "Three Lions", the ones who can be called stars are Shaq and Jonny? Hausen, Ben? Parker, Ashley? Hood, Wilshere, Speke, Barkley, Jack? The likes of Rodwell are stars in this England team. Shaq naturally became the only leader, and everyone would revolve around him. So in the evaluation of the domestic media in England, although this England team is not the most star-studded, they are definitely the most united.
And "unity" ...... Exactly Simon? What Grayson needs!
Simon? Unlike his predecessor Stewart, Grayson has always been a manager who sees control as the paramount standard, having won England's European Championship two years ago and the Confederations Cup a year ago. In fact, the performance of the "Three Lions" did not meet people's expectations, and in the final analysis, there is still a reason...... Unite!
Historically, the England team has no shortage of stars, nor is there a shortage of quality players, but every time this team has not been able to create good results, although they have won the European Cup and the Confederations Cup in the past two years. But there are always a little twists and turns in the process, and they fail to show their superhuman strength.
This time, Simon? Grayson is going to use Shaq's individual ability to lead the entire England team to the top of the world with a devastating momentum!
Because of this, "Brutal Simon" was very selective when it came to selecting players......
Players who can threaten Shaq's leadership...... No!
Players who are not strong enough...... No!
Disobedient players...... No!
Players who are not in their best physical condition...... No!
Pick and choose, Simon? Grayson organized the England team, which now appears to be "civilian", and then began their World Cup journey in Russia.
This is also Simon? Grayson, if someone else dares to choose the "Three Lions" lineup like this, he will be drowned in saliva early in the morning, but "Brutal Simon" is the best manager in the history of English football, he led Leeds United and Manchester United to create great miracles, and he did not make any mistakes in two years after coaching the England team, and led the team to win the Confederations Cup, such a legendary coach...... Well, everything he does should be right, and if you can't see it, it just means that your head is not enough, and the level of football is too low.
However, there is one thing that everyone can see very clearly, the backbone of this "Three Lions" is Shaq alone, Shaq is a well-deserved leader, and if the England team can win the Hercules Cup in Russia, then Shaq will definitely become another well-deserved "football king" after Pele and Maradona, and he is far better than those two.
