'Manchester United's results are not good, dare I say so. Not to compare us, but to their original place in English football. ”

"Yes, it must be admitted, they are the hegemons, everybody says so, because they used to have a close monopoly on the league title, but this year is different, they are eliminated from the European competition, the league has almost no hope of competing for the title, at least they can't catch up with us," Wan Sheng said confidently, "All they can fight for is the cup." ”

"In the last round they played Blackburn, they were still careful, if it had been before, it would have been hard to believe that he (Ferguson) did it, but he did that, the opponent was Blackburn, Hughes and Ferguson are very familiar, he can't beat his former disciple, and there are some things in this. Now they feel tired inside and out. ”

Wan Sheng talked about Manchester City's results, his words were a little ironic, but the reporters in the audience all nodded in agreement, even if those Manchester United reporters listened unpleasantly, but they must admit that these are facts, and even, Manchester United did a long time of careful thinking, and only drew with Blackburn, in other words, they have not yet been sure to get the ticket to the Millennium Stadium.

In fact, there is one more thing that Wan Sheng has not said, and that is the violence that occurred during the last game between Manchester United and Blackburn.

This topic is being discussed throughout England.

In the 37th minute of the game, shortly after Blackburn equalised, Alan Smith intercepted the ball with a very dangerous tackle in front, and referee Sdales signaled for the game to continue, which angered the Blackburn players, who made a series of tackles to try to stop Manchester United's attack.

Eventually, Blackburn made a tackle on the ball, Alan Smith chased the ball back and knocked Savage from behind, Rooney was also brought down on the other side, and a Blackburn player next to him made a tackle on Smith's side, and referee Sdales whistled for a foul.

But at this point, Savage tried to pull Rooney away, perhaps with the fury of being tackled. The shot also seemed to make Rooney aware of the smell of provocation.

Rooney suddenly punched Savage on the head under him, and Sdyers, who rushed to persuade him, was also brought to the ground by Rooney, Smith was next to him and wanted to help but was pulled from behind by a Blackburn player, and finally Rooney was also pulled away, but Savic fell to the ground in pain.

Both players remained restrained and fell into a scuffle, with the exception of Bentley and Rio Ferdinand who pushed and shoved from the side and were pulled away by their respective team-mates.

Referee Sdyers first gave Smith a yellow card after consulting with the linesman, and then he called Rooney, who was expected to be given a heavier sentence. But Sdyers still only showed a yellow card, and then he showed Savic a yellow card.

Savic, who did not make any unnecessary moves during the replay, expressed his dissatisfaction with grievances on his face, and tens of thousands of fans at Ewood Park were booed.

Wayne Rooney refused to talk about the violence in the game after the game, but this incident set off a discussion in England about Manchester United and Rooney being 'given special care', and this direct violence, if put on other players, is definitely a yellow card plus suspension, and as a result, Rooney only got a yellow card, the object of his punch. The unlucky Savic, not to mention the first-level old punch, also got a yellow card.

But a lot of people don't sympathize with Savage when they talk about it. Because this guy has a bad reputation, he has been punished for "playing" opponents for many years in his career and once became the most hated player in the Premier League.

However, after the game, Blackburn Rovers coach Hughes still said. 'Maybe another referee would have given a different decision and I was annoyed when he [Savic] was lying on the ground and he was booked. When there were a lot of physical confrontations on the field, I thought it was difficult. It's hard to see what's going to happen next. ”

Hughes was expressing his displeasure, but he didn't want to offend his former mentor, so he could only say that.

After talking about Manchester United's results, Wan Sheng talked about Manchester United's internal problems, "They always have all kinds of problems, and the ones I hear the most are Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ronaldo, the two can't play together, but they still have to start together. ”

'Last week I read in the newspapers that they had another argument at the training ground but Mr Ferguson seemed indifferent to it and I dare say he couldn't do anything about it because both were so good.

'There are other issues like that, like he [Alex Ferguson] always wants to bring in talented players, including Wayne Rooney and Ronaldo now, both of the best young players in the world, and when they come to Manchester United, everyone knows they're going to be big stars in the future, or they already are. So the contradiction arises, should the team be centered on the elderly, or should it listen to these rookie stars? Ronaldo is worth twice as much as Ruud van Nistelrooy, you can't say he's not more important than the Dutchman, can you? It's a difficult problem to deal with, and I don't know what to do if it were me."

Hearing that Wan Sheng admits that he does not know what to do, many reporters nodded in agreement, they feel that this Chinese is still very self-aware, and the relationship between the two superstars is really difficult to handle, which is also a problem that the coach in the giant must face.

Some unhappy reporters directly equated this sentence with 'I don't have the ability to coach a giant'.

Although Manchester United's results did not live up to expectations, they definitely supported Ferguson, and it would be very uncomfortable to hear Wan Sheng say bad things about Manchester United and Ferguson, even if they asked Wan Sheng to say it.

But Wan Sheng's words are not finished, "But what I know is that he [Ferguson] treats his players differently. His control is too strong, and those players who have prestige in the team will not end well, like Andy Cole, or David Beckham, they have done very well, but they have all left, can't Manchester United tolerate good players? ”

"No, definitely not. It was he (Alex Ferguson) who couldn't tolerate the prestige of the player, that would challenge his authority, so some time ago, Keane also left, he was the captain of Manchester United, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was the best captain in the history of Manchester United, but he couldn't even get a pre-retirement contract"

After listening to Wan Sheng's words, the reporters all had a kinship.

That's Roy Keane, Manchester United's midfielder for more than a decade, and a 35-year-old iron man who is still in full form. He played for Manchester United all his life and also for Alex Ferguson. As a result, because of some conflicts with Ferguson, he couldn't even get a pre-retirement contract, so he had to leave Manchester United and go to other clubs to wait for retirement.

The result is chilling.

If Andy Cole is in the past, David Beckham is there for a reason, and Manchester United have also received a large transfer fee, Keane is purely sympathetic, even if everyone understands that Ferguson is the manager and he has to think from the side of the club, but they will also sympathize with Keane.

So when Wan Sheng said Keane's name, even Manchester United reporters were not limited to refute it.

Next, Wan Sheng talked about the current situation of Manchester United's lineup. Manchester United is not weak at all in this regard, their gorgeous squad is definitely the best in Europe, "They have too many excellent players, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Rooney, Ronaldo not mention, Ferdinand and Neville are very good at the back, but" As soon as the words changed, Wan Sheng immediately talked about Manchester City in the middle, "He (Ferguson) needs to find a replacement for Keane, and this is the key." It is also the problem that affects their performance the most. ”

'I'm optimistic about Paul Scholes, he's as good a player as Morris but he's got to have a good partner to play to his full strength, and I'm sure he's the most important player in the United squad.

"But we had a lot of luck. He's injured and I don't know if he'll be able to play, but if he doesn't, I don't think there will be any suspense. ”

Wan Sheng concluded with a smile on his face.

A week ago. Scholes hit the crossbar and went off with a head injury and has not yet recovered. Whether he can play is a big suspense, but Wan Sheng is definitely disgusting Ferguson when he says this, he is almost expressing a meaning, "I admire Scholes, he doesn't have a chance at all if he doesn't play for Manchester United." ”

It's almost the same as poaching.

Especially before Wan Sheng also said a lot of things about 'Ferguson favors young players' and 'Manchester United veterans will not end well', which means together, "You veterans who have performed well, you will not have a good end with Ferguson at Manchester United, so you should quickly find a way to leave early, by the way, I am very optimistic about you, come to Manchester City"

There are journalists with quick brains, and they understand it completely with just one turn.

So they just used 'Manchester United or consider bringing in one or two veterans of Manchester United' as the main content of the report, and the reporter who was slow to turn his brain could only write the untouchable '10,000 wins: Paul Scholes is the key to the victory'.

This incident proves that in the mixed media circle, not only must be eloquent, but also IQ must keep up

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson almost vomited blood when he saw the report, and he felt as disgusting as if he had eaten thousands of flies in one go.

He didn't expect that he would express his confidence in winning, and he was counterattacked like this.

Many of these reports were sent by pro-Manchester United media, and these media reporters must have been deceived by the Chinese's false performance and actually sent reports against Manchester United.

Of course, he won't admit that the reason is actually Manchester United's results and negative news, which have made the media who support Manchester United unhappy, but in the end these news are not good for Manchester United, and it is not good for him personally, and he must respond.

That evening, Ferguson appeared at a regular press conference held by Manchester United, where he refuted Wan Sheng's claim, saying 'there is nothing wrong with my team', and then angrily accused Wan Sheng of being 'nosy', "He has to take care of his own business first!" ”

"Manchester United don't need him to dictate!"

"He's not qualified to comment on me, on Manchester United!"

The old jazz angrily said a lot of things like that before retorting about the game, "Paul is a really good player, but in a football game, I think everyone in the team is important. ”

"Or is he trying to trick me out if Paul will play? He's cunning, but I'm not going to say it in advance. ”

Ferguson spoke to reporters before leaving the club and driving home, thinking about the game against Manchester City along the way.

It turned out that he had already thought about the starting line-up, and Scholes was one of them, he had a head injury before, but he has returned to training, and there is no guarantee of any form, but he is more comfortable in the middle than others.

But now Ferguson suddenly feels that it is good to give other people a chance, Scholes is excellent, the whole of England knows, but Manchester United is not only Scholes, he has many alternative players in the middle of the midfield.

As soon as the thought came to him, Ferguson found a corner and stopped the car.

Turning on the overhead light, he pulled out a notebook from his bosom, flipped to the latest page, and the names appeared on the last line, Ferguson thought about it, crossed out Scholes's name with a pen, and then thought about it, and wrote 'Darren Fletcher' below the original location

The derby at Manchester Stadium has been staged.

Every Manchester derby will be the focus of the whole of England, and fans on both sides will see the game as the most important part of the season, so you can imagine the crowds.

Tickets were sold out on the day they went on sale, half of the fans could only buy standing tickets, and now the aisles, corridors and back rows of the stadium are packed, and the hustle and bustle everywhere makes the atmosphere even more intense.

At this point, the game has begun.

The fans, the commentators, the teams and the staff, all of them, were all focused on the game.

In this game, Manchester City's tactics did not pose any challenges, they still used the original 'killing' tactics, not a 'defensive reinforcement' against Chelsea, but the original offensive style of play, which is also the most offensive and the most adaptable style of play.

However, there are still some adjustments in the starting lineup.

The injuries of David Silva, Anelka and Sinclair still have a great impact on the team, in the starting lineup, Wansheng has to spend a little more brains, and the mid-lane Morris and Joey Barton are partners needless to say, in the selection of wings, Robbie Fowler's appearance is definitely the first time.

There is no choice but to do so.

Reyna can't always play, with only Ivan Crewe on the wing, but Wansheng intends to give him regular playing time next month, so Robbie Fowler can only top up.

Robbie Fowler's ability is very comprehensive and experienced, in training, he also played on the wing a few times, before the game, Wan Sheng specifically asked Fowler, Fowler now has to face competition with Andy Cole, it is not easy to get a chance to play, so he directly agreed.

However, Wan Sheng is still a little worried about Fowler playing as a full-back, because Alan Smith, who is opposite him, is known for his 'rough style of play', and he just hopes that there will not be too many problems.

But the situation is not as good as expected.

At the beginning of the game, Robbie Fowler's way became a problem, he faced Alan Smith, showed some cowardice, and as a result, the ball was snatched away by a mistake, and then Alan Smith forced a breakthrough in a row, making Robbie Fowler directly a glass man, and he became useless at all.

As George Woodgate said, "Manchester City seem to be undefended on the right"

As a result, in the 15th minute, Manchester City's defense on the right was breached, Alan Smith crossed from the left side of the box, and Vanney forced the ball against Distin in the box.

0:1, Manchester United took the lead.

Seeing this goal, Wan Sheng frowned directly, he didn't expect that the game would be so difficult at the beginning, and there would be such a huge problem on the side.

He glanced at Robbie Fowler on the field, then at the bench, a little hesitant. (To be continued......)
