"David, coaching Manchester United and Everton, are two completely different worlds!"

"In charge of Everton, the so-called key battles you encounter look more like fist fights between two immature children, but in charge of Manchester United, every key battle is a fight to the death and you can't tear the other party to pieces, and the former seems to the latter to be like a game."

"Managing Everton is relatively simple, there are not too many things too complicated, but coaching Manchester United is different, all the people who play at Manchester United, each one of them is a world-renowned golden signboard, behind each signboard has a set of their own team, and their interests on the football field and off the football field."

"Managing Everton, relying on football is enough, but managing Manchester United and knowing football is just the most basic start!"

When I think back to the first time I drove from Liverpool to Carrington in the west of Manchester at the beginning of the season, when Alex Ferguson first spoke to himself as the new manager as a technical adviser to Manchester United, Moyes has never been able to understand the meaning of these words.

But until this game, until he sat at Stratford Stadium and watched Tottenham Hotspur score one goal after another, and finally slaughtered Manchester United with a score of 5:0, and the 80,000 fans of the entire Stratford Stadium ridiculed and ridiculed Manchester United with a monstrous voice, Moyes felt a sense of despair in his heart.

He never knew that Everton, who were once fifth in the Premier League, and Manchester United, who were fourth in the Premier League, seemed to have only one place difference at first glance, but in fact it was a very different place between heaven and hell.

He once thought that with the full support of Alex Ferguson and Manchester United's management, he would be able to make a difference at Manchester United, and even on his way from Liverpool to Manchester, all he thought about was how to show his ambition for many years on the big stage of Manchester United, which attracted the attention of the world.

The six-year contract made him eager to become the second Ferguson, and he hoped that he could be at Manchester United and become a figure like Ferguson, so as soon as he took office, he showed his vigorous and resolute ability to do things, and he was eager to establish his prestige in the shortest possible time.

But now, at this moment, at Stratford Stadium, under the gaze of 80,000 Tottenham Hotspur fans, in the television sets of countless fans around the world, he feels like a clown who has been played with wantonly, he has lost all his dignity, he has lost all his face, and even he has lost his self-confidence!

Because he found that he was wrong, and he was very wrong!

When a person finds that the method he used to have succeeded in suddenly does not work, he often easily falls into a kind of confusion, he will be overwhelmed, he will doubt himself, and he will worry about the future.

Like David Moyes, he increasingly feels that he is inadequately in charge of Manchester United.

For example, not long ago, some media compared that modern top football tactics are about close connection and teamwork, so all the top teams are very close to each other, which makes the ball pass have more options and changes.

However, David Moyes's Manchester United still continued his high-flying and high-flying style of play during his Everton years, and the players were very open to each other, and even appeared alone in local areas many times, lacking contact with each other, which made United lose a sense of closeness, which was the result of low training standards and outdated tactical thinking.

Moyes heard it, and he realized the problem, but how can he change it?

What kind of training can be arranged to improve these? What kind of tactical drills can be arranged to achieve such a goal?

You must know that the coaching staff in the previous Ferguson period was completely cleaned by him as soon as he came to power, and now even if he wants to understand how training was arranged at that time, there is no way, not even Ferguson, because he didn't care about training a few years ago, and just gave orders.

Or should he ask a few veteran players?

Needless to say, it will definitely become the laughing stock of the whole world, because a head coach who can't even train, what is he going to do?

There is also a very obvious characteristic, and that is that Moyes finds himself completely unable to adapt to the style of the big clubs.

For example, transfers, in the past at Everton, he was used to being poor, and he was used to spending money, and he often had to be cautious and hesitant, and finally in the transfer negotiations, you went back and forth for a long time, and sometimes it may not be able to be done, and the most impressive thing about Moyes is that he often has to wait until the last few days when the transfer market closes to finally get the transfer deal.

But that's not the case at all in big teams.

The big teams have money, so when the team draws up the transfer budget, all you need to do is to bring in the players you need, and not to focus on one goal, but to step on multiple boats at the same time, and develop multiple sets of preparatory plans.

But Moyes didn't do that, picking on difficult roles, including Fabregas, Thiago, Modric and other difficult roles to challenge, while hesitating between Stroman and other options, and finally Stroman went to Tottenham Hotspur, and none of the three players he wanted came.

David Moyes clearly doesn't understand the play of the big teams at all, and the most important thing about the big teams is not money.

For giants such as Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester City, as soon as the budget is made, the money is as thin as paper, the key is to bring in valuable players, introduce the players that the team needs, and even you can bring in two in one go, resulting in a surplus of talent, but you must not hesitate and not miss the opportunity.

Moyes is a typical ** silk mentality, originally had a budget of 10 million, he wanted to be diligent and thrifty, and he could pull for two or three months for a million, but now he has a transfer budget of 100 million, he still has this mentality, and he is still fighting for the 1 million and hundreds of thousands, and the team missed the opportunity to recruit him.

David Moyes is not stupid, on the contrary, he is a very self-aware person, so he can basically understand his situation and problems by now, but there is no turning back for him, because he can't go back to the summer transfer period, and he can't have another chance.

He had only one choice, to move forward!

For him, the United presidency is like a gilded journey and he has to keep going, no matter what the end result.

Thinking of this, Moyes turned his head sideways to look at the home team's coach's seat, Ye Qiu sat in the coach's seat all the time except for the first ten minutes of the game, and couldn't see what he was doing. Tassotti, and this Italian is also a ruthless character.

However, he had a feeling of being looked down upon by Ye Qiu.

…………

…………

Ye Qiu really doesn't look down on Moyes very much, not because the coach's ability is not good, but because Ye Qiu feels that Moyes has always had a very strong speculative psychology.

Let's put it this way, Ferguson has been in charge of Manchester United for decades, and his influence in English football is extraordinary, even Ferguson's son is a famous agent in England, and he was involved in the black and gold issue back then, and Moyes hugged Ferguson's thigh from the beginning.

is also Scottish, Moyes's father and Ferguson have known each other for a long time, Moyes looks like Ferguson's junior, and in fact, Moyes has always regarded himself as Ferguson's junior, and has always been closer to Ferguson, for example, Ferguson once went back to Scotland to give a lecture, Moyes went to Scotland to listen to this class, and at the same time actively asked questions in class.

It can be said that since Ferguson was rumored to be retiring, Moyes has been arranged by many people and many media to be Ferguson's successor, intentionally or unintentionally, and Moyes gives people the same feeling, that is, he is simply a copy of Ferguson, in addition to the championship, in addition to Everton is not a giant, he is the second Ferguson.

However, Ye Qiu was not optimistic about Moyes from the beginning, the reason is very simple, Moyes may look like Ferguson in many things, but there is one most important thing, he is completely different from Ferguson, that is, flexibility!

Ferguson is very shrewd, and the greatest achievement of his life is that he has constantly been flexible and constantly evolving with the times, so that he and Manchester United have always been at the forefront of English football and among the top teams in Europe.

But what about Moyes? After ten years of coaching Everton, his Everton has always been a typical English team, the trend of continentalization of Premier League football is so obvious, and continental teams have continued to emerge over the years, and now even Wigan Athletic, Southampton, Swansea and other teams have come from behind to go continentalized, but Everton has always adhered to the English style.

This is Moyes's fatal wound!

Even if he looks like Ferguson in everything, if he doesn't look like it at all, he's finished!

"Judging from this game, the selection of Moyes will be the last lesson of your coaching career, but it may also be the most painful!"

After the game, in the box of one of the Western restaurants in Stratford Stadium, Ye Qiu and Ferguson sat facing each other, with a square table between the two, on which were placed a bottle of red wine and two goblets, which was Ferguson's habit.

Although Ye Qiu did not have such a habit, there were always exceptions to everything.

After hearing this, Ferguson shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Then I should scold you for not giving face, and showing no mercy to your subordinates at all!" ”

Ye Qiu snorted and didn't say anything, this game was the easiest time to play Manchester United since his coaching career.

Ferguson knew that, too, but what could he say? It can only be said that Moyes is too uncompetitive!

In fact, until now, he is doubting whether he made the right decision, because as soon as David Moyes took over Manchester United, he immediately showed his ambition and strong desire for power, which immediately caused him internal and external troubles.

For example, David Moyes removed the team's chief scout, Martin? Ferguson, that is, Ferguson's younger brother, has been at Manchester United for many years, and Moyes took him as soon as he came to power, making it clear that he wanted to clean the Ferguson mark of Manchester United over the years, and he did not leave any of the old parts of Ferguson's coaching staff, and cleaned them all.

As Martin? Ferguson complained to Ferguson privately, "Is Moyes here to steal power, or is he here to coach?" ”

When Ferguson met with Moyes, he repeatedly reminded him that it was best to stay in the old coaching department of the team, but Moyes still insisted on going his own way, but the old Everton department he brought with him was not at all suitable for Manchester United, and he was not at all familiar with Manchester United, as well as the whole trend and environment of the Premier League and even European football today.

"Honestly, do you think Manchester United will have a show this year?" Ferguson looked at Ye Qiu and asked, he was very serious.

Sometimes the strength of a team, the fans in the stands and in front of the TV, feel it is not obvious, but as a manager, or an opponent, they often feel it more intuitively and clearly.

After hearing this, Ye Qiu shook his head and smiled, "To tell the truth, or to tell a lie?" ”

"Tell the truth!" Ferguson replied cautiously, "No matter how ugly it sounds!" "He guessed he was a little confused.

"You know, I was in command for about ten minutes, and the rest of the time I was basically sitting in the dugout and playing on my phone, and I didn't see any signs that I should go forward."

After a pause, Ye Qiu smiled again, "If your Manchester United goal this season is to be in the top four in the league, then I can sue you, there is absolutely no hope, I can name a few teams casually, such as Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Southampton, and even Arsenal, Newcastle and West Ham United, your top four will definitely be no play!" ”

"I think it's safer for you to aim for the top ten!"

When Ferguson heard this, he was angry, not angry with Ye Qiu, although Ye Qiu said it very politely, but Ferguson knew that Ye Qiu would not talk nonsense, at least this game gave Ye Qiu the feeling that this was like this, this Manchester United team was strict and uncompetitive, he was angry with Moyes, it was too uncompetitive, and it was embarrassing for his old man.

"Actually, if David Moyes can show a little bit of courage and courage this summer, change six or seven positions in the squad and bring in the quality of the year he plays, I think this United team is still very competitive, but ......

Ye Qiu doesn't need to say anything, it's already quite obvious, that is, the current Manchester United has no hope of at least this season.

Ferguson couldn't sit still, got up from his seat and walked to the window of the box, where there was a huge crowd of 80,000 fans leaving Stratford Stadium in an orderly manner.

"Missed?" Ye Qiu walked to Ferguson's side.

The height at which the two of them are now is just right to sweep the fans at the exit below Stratford Stadium, there is a kind of heroism that is high up and overlooking all beings, Ye Qiu is okay now, after all, he is still the manager of Tottenham Hotspur, but Ferguson is unlucky, he has retired and is now behind the scenes.

Sure enough, Ferguson snorted coldly, turned around and walked back, he felt that Ye Qiu was seducing him to come out of the mountain again.

Seeing Ferguson like that, Ye Qiu smiled and walked back, "So, you people, you just can't bear to be lonely!" ”

Yes, this guy still has an old-fashioned tone, and he has taught his predecessors a lesson.

Ferguson was not angry, and said with a little embarrassment, "If you want to say that you don't miss it, it's fake, but when you're old, you don't have that kind of energy, and you don't have that kind of mind, and now professional football, sooner or later, will be the world of your young people!" ”

Today's players do have a tendency to be younger, so like Messi, the young man is the world footballer, and now, Nick? Powell, Lucas? Moura, Coutinho, Lukaku, Jose and others are all young, but they are already first-class stars in Europe.

There is also the head coach, today's young coaches are also popular, although there are still some old coaches supporting, but the rise of young people has become a trend and trend, perhaps this is also because these young people are more able to adapt to today's world.

"You're over this season, do you really want to quit?" Ferguson sat back in his chair and asked with concern.

Ye Qiu smiled after hearing this, "My wife has even planned a trip around the world for the next year, do you think my heart is not firm enough?" Do I have that guts? ”

When Ferguson, who was strict with his wife, heard this, he immediately laughed, if it was him, he really didn't have the courage to die.

"I'm sorry for you!" After Ferguson laughed, he said this sentence very sincerely.

Ye Qiu will continue to stay at Tottenham Hotspur, and he will continue to maintain this glory for many years to come, at least he can continue to lead Tottenham Hotspur to maintain this peak, but it may not be possible to change the coach, even if it is Mauro? Tassotti, but there is always a risk.

And Ferguson has always been very interested in Ye Qiu's pursuit and philosophy, and even he is interested in many things at Tottenham Hotspur, such as the average running of Tottenham Hotspur up and down this season has reached more than 12 kilometers, and it is reported that this is because Tottenham Hotspur has begun to use a new physical training system in the past two or three years.

Also, the artificial genius plan mentioned by Ye Qiu before, from the Tottenham Hotspur talent in recent years, the emergence of geniuses, it is not difficult to see the success of this set of plans, if it can really be realized, how terrifying will Tottenham Hotspur, composed of eleven geniuses?

Ye Qiu smiled faintly, "There's nothing to be sorry about, after all, over the years, I have succeeded, failed, cried, laughed, been lifted to the sky, and once fell to the ground, I have experienced it all, what is there to pity?" ”

"Don't you think it's a shame that you've worked so hard to lay such a good foundation for Tottenham Hotspur, but in the end you've made someone else?" Ferguson asked.

Ye Qiu still smiled faintly, "Then there is nothing to regret, Tottenham Hotspur is my team, the team is good, I will naturally benefit, besides, after so many years of coaching, I really find more and more that in-depth understanding of football, analysis of football, and even commenting on football are far from simply waiting in front of the TV, or sitting quietly in the stands, simply, calming down to watch football, it is interesting and happy!" ”

Ferguson nodded in agreement.

Maybe it's a reversal of the basics, or maybe it's because you know too much, but it will produce a light and tasteless feeling.

People who don't know and are not familiar with football may desperately want to understand and familiarize, but the more you want to dig, analyze, and familiarize yourself with football, you may feel that it may not be as interesting as being a simple ignorant fan at the beginning, cheering for your favorite team and favorite style of football.

Is this a besieged city?

Or is life full of sieges? But it may not be possible to change the coach, even if it is Mauro? Tassotti, but there is always a risk.

And Ferguson has always been very interested in Ye Qiu's pursuit and philosophy, and even he is interested in many things at Tottenham Hotspur, such as the average running of Tottenham Hotspur up and down this season has reached more than 12 kilometers, and it is reported that this is because Tottenham Hotspur has begun to use a new physical training system in the past two or three years.
