Five hundred and thirteen, "Test!!" ”
"Test!!"
The word appeared on the front pages of several major media outlets, and below is a large photo of Ferguson and Lynn, the old and the young seem to complement each other, but the slight upturn of the corners of Lynn's mouth seems to have an unconcealed arrogance.
It seems that the object of the test is not Lynn, but Manchester United, who have made a big move.
Outside Old Trafford, fans from all over the stadium were lining up to get in, and the noise seemed to have been taken for granted.
A lot of fans are talking about this test, and in recent seasons, Manchester United have rarely made the fans happy when they met Chelsea, always suffering at the hands of that damn young man.
Ferguson's position at Manchester United is unassailable, and fans are reassured that such an old man will continue to be in charge of the Red Devils, but today's opponents have left them with little confidence, or rather unsteady
The players were warming up on the pitch and the fans who had already entered the stadium livened up Old Trafford.
Instead of waiting in the dressing room for the players to come back, Lynn stood at the crossing and watched the players warm up, and Ferguson came here while Lynn was pondering.
"When do I need you to put me to the test?" The old man was obviously very dissatisfied with the media, and even his tone of voice was not good.
Lynn pouted, "What's the matter with me!" ”
Ferguson glared at Lynn, it's none of his business, it's strange, these media always have to create some topics, in the past, when Manchester United encountered strong opponents, Ferguson would always provoke a war of words, even Chelsea did not avoid it, but for several seasons, when Ferguson met Chelsea. Topics that are not related to the game are rarely talked about anymore, and the reasons are needless to say.
It's been almost 20 years since the Premier League. Ferguson was very uncomfortable with Chelsea's steady hold on Manchester United. This season, the damn Yankees finally couldn't stand the pressure from the veterans, promising that last season's profits from Manchester United would stay at the club as a supplement to the squad.
I finally bought a satisfactory player, but it turned out to be a test, which was really infuriating.
Does Manchester United, or Ferguson himself, need to prove it by playing against someone else?
It's angry to think about!
Lynn didn't want to discuss such a boring topic with Ferguson, but turned and walked away, not at all respectful of the elderly.
Ferguson gave Lynn an annoyed look and turned to walk towards the locker room as well.
After watching it for a while, Lynn didn't think it was interesting. Turning back to the dressing room, I just watched for a while, the players are in good shape, and the game should be a tough game.
One thing Lynn has been doing this season is to develop Cristiano Ronaldo into the heart of the team's attack.
The last time Mendes made a fuss, it reminded Lynn to consider the needs of players in all aspects, and Ronaldo ostensibly asked for a salary, but in fact. Lynn thinks he's asking Lynn for status.
At Chelsea, the old nature is Lynn, and the rise between the players is usually pressed by Lynn, now it seems. It seems a bit excessive, the players are human beings and they need a sense of accomplishment as well.
Transforming Ronaldo requires sacrifices from other players. There is no doubt about this, but fortunately, Lynn's transformation is subtle. There is no explicit presentation in the team, but a little bit of a tactical tilt.
Chelsea's goals this season need no more talk. Fans and players who are used to winning championships should not have much in mind.
What we have to do now is to follow this line of thought firmly.
Back in the locker room, the staff were still preparing, Lynn didn't bother them, and soon there was a mess of footsteps outside the door, and the warm-up of the players was over.
The door was pushed open, and Terry walked in with the rest of the team.
The door closed.
Lynn didn't speak, and with the help of the staff, the players immediately got busy.
"Almost, this season is actually no different from the past, including today's game, Manchester United is our old rivals, they are very strong, every time I meet Manchester United, I am excited, you should be too?"
Lynn deliberately blinked her eyes as she spoke.
The players burst into laughter, and Lynn was right when he said that, Chelsea always played at a high level every time they met Manchester United.
Pointing to the roof, Lynn grimaced, "Those boring media said that today is a test, the old man in Ferguson said that we tested them, I don't agree, Chelsea can have today's results, it is the result of the help of our opponents, without their resistance, we would not have today's achievements, so, I have always regarded any team as a test for Chelsea!" ”
'And today, too, Chelsea have to prove themselves, today is the best chance!'
"If Manchester United is not strong enough, we will not be stronger, so I hope that the more tests like this, the better, because the opponent is strong enough for us to be motivated!"
The players laughed heartily.
Lynn walked to the door, opened it, and the hustle and bustle outside immediately poured into the room, almost all of them were the shouts of Manchester United fans!
After listening for a while, Lynn closed it.
"Listen, they are scared, their hearts are weak, and they even regard defeating us as a noble goal! The Blues will never be trampled under their feet, never! ”
Lynn shook her fist.
"Yes, sir, never!" Ronaldo suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.
"Excellent! Guys, I love your commitment and hope you show the results of the contest that you can do it! ”
Lynn didn't think much about why it was Ronaldo who stood up, not Terry.
Lynn has never let up his grip on the dressing room and has made no secret of his ethical demands on his players, something that no Chelsea player finds inappropriate.
John Terry's captain's armband is notoriously crumbling.
As captain of both the national team and Chelsea, John Terry has been exposed too many times, and the main problem is that he frequents London's most famous nightclub, Paradise.
Although there is no news yet, Lynn knows it. It's home base for some erotic deals for Premier League players, and Terry is always spotted there. Surely nothing good has been done.
On the night of the first round of the season, Terry was there again. To Lynn's dissatisfaction, after resuming training, Lynn deliberately criticized Terry without naming him in front of the whole team.
So, Terry has been a lot more honest lately and has basically chosen to be silent in the locker room
"Is this a disgrace to Manchester United's history, a test? Hehe, how dare you say it! So, today I definitely won't accept defeat, even a draw is an unappetizing result. We've lost too many big games in the last few seasons and I've had enough. ”
Ferguson was very excited in the dressing room, his face was flushed, although it was not loud, but it was very excited!
'You know what it means to lose to Chelsea today, it means Manchester United will lose the qualification to compete with Chelsea!!
United's players naturally know what that means, and they, like Alex Ferguson, can't accept that claim. Everyone tried to straighten up, not wanting to be caught by Ferguson at this time, and the old man's temper was getting bigger and bigger.
"Do your best and win the game! This is Old Trafford. No one can go wild here, no one! Don't have any illusions, the opponent is strong. But it is never so strong that it cannot be defeated, as long as we are determined! Show determination! They don't stand a chance! ”
Ferguson clenched his fists and swung them hard.
The morale of the Manchester United players was immediately high. They all stood up and shouted victory!
There was a huge cheer from the stands at Old Trafford, and the players from both sides walked out of the corridor under the guidance of the referee!
After Lynn and Ferguson shook hands. Standing on the sidelines, the interesting thing is that the two people almost unanimously stepped on the line of the restricted area.
There have been no major changes to United's starting line-up, and they have almost run out of the mainstay.
Tevez and Wayne Rooney, who have moved this season, have partnered up front.
In midfield, Park Ji-sung, Hargreaves, Carrick, Nani, Scholes, relative to the huge midfield, Evra, Ferdinand, Vidic on the back line, and Van der Sar in goal.
Surprisingly, Ryan Giggs did not enter the starting line-up and instead sat on the bench, along with attacking midfielder Anderson, who has moved in this season.
It can be seen that Ferguson intends to destroy Chelsea with a fierce attack, and it is estimated that Ryan Giggs and Anderson are the cards he keeps in his hand.
"Chelsea's starting line-up has also not changed, this season Coach John has used more of a four-three-three formation, Drogba, Cristiano Ronaldo, Palacio three to form the front three, Lampard, Alonso, Van Bommel is the barrier in midfield."
'Well, at the back, Alves, Terry, Pepe, Barzaretti, the goalkeeper is Cech, it seems that Chelsea take this game very seriously and we will have the privilege of watching a big game to look forward to!'
At the beginning of the game, Rooney formed a breakthrough on the side, don't look at the little fat man has always been dominated by the attack in the middle, in fact, his breakthrough ability on the side is also not to be underestimated.
Alves' defense is very good, Rooney will not be stupid enough to fight with Alves for skill and speed, he just wants to crash away from the opponent and then rush forward.
Alves is a little struggling now, and Rooney's strength is really not just talking.
Alonso came running from behind, unceremoniously hooked the other man, and then whispered in Alves' ear, "You're welcome to him, this kid is spoiled!" ”
Alves nodded, he also felt that Rooney's hand movement when he broke through should actually be a foul, however, the referee did not say that he could not do anything.
There was an immediate burst of boos in the stands, and some people shouted yellow cards.
"Why don't you shout a red card?" Not only was Lynn angry, but the decision was not good for Chelsea.
"Cristiano!" Lynn called out to Ronaldo, pointed at Rooney, and made a gesture to ask him to put some pressure on the other party.
United took a free-kick and the ball slid quickly across the goal, and the box was so crowded that no one touched the football.
On the other side, Hargreaves scrambled to receive the football.
He saw that Chelsea's defence was still intact, and that Barzaretti had already pounced, and he wanted to wait for the opponent to come over and then rush in, but he didn't expect the opponent to slow down immediately after approaching him, stuck in position and didn't move.
"Very calm!" Hargreaves frowned, his opponent's reaction surprised him a little.
In desperation, he turned around and took the football back, and then passed it to Carrick, who came to pick it up, and did it again. (To be continued......)
