Chapter 43: A Very Different Statement

After the game, the media reporters got the technical statistics of the whole game, but after seeing this technical statistics, they knew that Manchester City's victory over Manchester United was not by luck at all, they relied on strength and performance.

In terms of technical statistics, Manchester City's number of passes, possession, and shots are much higher than Manchester United's, and the most intuitive one is the number of passes, Manchester City's all successful passes are nearly twice as many as Manchester United's!

That's twice as much!

That is, Manchester City passes two balls, Manchester United only has one, and the pass will bring about the transfer of football, which will naturally bring more opportunities, so it is normal for Manchester City to suppress Manchester United throughout the game.

In this game, regardless of the score or data, Manchester City is a complete victory!

At the same time, they also have some understanding of Manchester City's new tactics, technical statistics, Manchester City's new tactical requirements are passing and ball control, and the intuitive feeling of watching the game is also like this, Manchester United has been passing the ball constantly when launching an active attack, and surprisingly, their passing is still very good, and the mistakes are not as many as imagined, so that Manchester United did not find any opportunities from Manchester City's mistakes.

It has to be said that Manchester City played well.

Anyone who understands football knows that passing more does not mean that the game will be dominant, such as a few passes between defenders, there is generally no danger, of course, it has no effect, this can only contribute to the data of technical statistics, and sometimes the passing in the backfield will also be dangerous, such as the opponent's forward is very tight, the problem is quite serious if the ball is lost, in the midfield, the front court is the same, there is a more dense defense of the opponent, the danger of passing will also increase, As long as you get a steal, the offensive opportunity is gone, so passing too much does not mean that you will be dominant, and sometimes you are too focused on passing. On the contrary, the other party will get a lot of opportunities.

But Manchester City did play well, they passed so many balls, they didn't let Manchester United find any chances, but created a lot of chances for their own team, completely suppressed Manchester United, and scored five goals in both halves.

It was a surprising performance, and after the game, a lot of people started talking about City's tactics.

……

When Wan Sheng walked into the press conference, he felt some changes in the reporter's eyes.

Before, they looked at themselves with some disdain and doubt. Although they came to do interviews, they only came for the news, not because they really felt that they had what it took to lead Manchester City, so when they said something, they would question it like that, even the supporting media of Manchester City, no, maybe it was this group of media who questioned themselves more, after all, whether they had a good record in charge of Manchester City. It doesn't matter with the rest of the media, they just stand next to it and have fun watching a joke.

Now it's completely different.

Many of these reporters looked at themselves with admiration and trust, and some of them were hot, and they must have been anxious to know something from them...... What is it exactly?

Wan Sheng hasn't figured it out yet. A reporter took the initiative to speak, "Mr. Wan Sheng, can you tell me how Manchester City defeated Manchester United?" "The reporter is obviously asking a professional question. For example, why Manchester City was able to suppress Manchester United, what were Manchester City's tactics, and why did they achieve such results. He also hopes that Wansheng will answer in this regard.

That's what a lot of other journalists want to know.

Of course, what they want to know is actually not so professional, they just want to get something out of Wansheng's mouth, especially the media who support Manchester United, Manchester United lost the game 5-0, they always have to find a reason, right?

It's a pity that Wansheng didn't cooperate at all.

If a professional coach or player asks him questions about tactics and style of play, he can still talk about it, but what is there to say to a group of reporters?

Then he smiled and said, "I said before the game, those so-called new stars of Manchester United are useless at all, and in my opinion, their only advantage is their high value!" So we won because our players were better......"

After Wan Sheng answered, he waited for the reporter to continue to ask questions, but he didn't expect some Manchester United reporters to chase this question, "Can you tell us who they are?" ”

The reporters all asked like this, Wan Sheng did not hesitate to comment, he thought about it, and then said, "I said before the game that I wanted 'Sir Alexandre Ferguson' to see how I dealt with C-Ronaldo, you should have seen it in the game, we just let my players look for a breakthrough in C-Ronaldo's way, and then they succeeded, we scored two goals first......" He especially bit the word 'Mr. Jazz' to show ridicule, let people know that they don't have that much respect for that old guy.

"Now I think it's not just Cristiano Ronaldo, look at Wayne Rooney, the £30 million star who was pinned on by Manchester United, by England and by the whole of England, where did he go in the game? I don't see him pose any threat to our defence, and he's worth more than a few of our players combined. ”

"I also said before the game about Fletcher and Park Ji-sung, Fletcher started, Sir Alex Ferguson probably has high hopes for him, but I think he is young and immature, I don't think he will grow up in a few seasons, and now he can only let go as a full-back."

"Park Ji-sung, huh? I would like to say that I have always disliked Koreans and Japanese. ”

After Wan Sheng finished speaking, he continued to look at the reporters, watching them feel in an uproar because of their words, and then they discussed non-stop, he enjoyed this feeling very much, being noticed, and the words he said affected many people, as for what Rooney, Fletcher, Ronaldo and others who were talked about thought, he didn't care! Who made them not their own players, but the players of their sworn rivals Manchester United? He can't show mercy to his enemies, especially since he's now in charge of Manchester City, and he has plenty of reasons to say more...... It's even harder to hear.

At this moment, a reporter suddenly asked Alan Smith, Wan Sheng hesitated, and asked, "Alan Smith?" Did he make an appearance? ”

Quite a few people were amused.

It's not a joke, Wan Sheng really forgot about Alan Smith's appearance for a while, because the latter really didn't make an impression, and other people can understand Wan Sheng's feelings, they laughed at Alan Smith is really mediocre, is there anything to ask about this?

Soon everyone will know why.

……

Clocking forward a bit, Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson was in the mixed zone.

He had just come out of the locker room and was on his way to a press conference. At this time, Wan Sheng was already in the venue, Ferguson came a little late, but he couldn't manage so much, Manchester United lost the game 5-0, and his anger had nowhere to vent, so he had a big temper in the dressing room just now.

After venting his anger a bit, Ferguson felt a lot more comfortable and remembered to go to the press conference.

However, he was stopped by reporters in the mixed zone.

Normally, Ferguson would not give interviews, but now that Manchester United have lost the derby, he must have to give some interviews. So he stopped and talked about the game.

He first took the initiative to admit his responsibility, "This defeat is my responsibility, I didn't expect that in one summer, Manchester City will have such a big change, we are not prepared, so they took the lead...... But if we do it again, I believe that the victory will be ours. ”

"This game. A lot of people in the squad are not doing well, perhaps because they haven't been able to recover from the break, which is a reminder that the league has officially begun. ”

"A failure is nothing. We have to learn from the lessons and face them with a calm mind, I think then we can improve and beat our opponents the next time we meet. ”

"But I still need to talk about the inaction of some people in the game......

"In our tactics. The middle is the central point and you have to take the initiative to get an advantage, but I don't see that. But Smith got a lot better when he came out and I think it's time to make some changes and it's time for the team to make changes. ”

“……”

Ferguson didn't directly name who he was talking about, but the reporters were chasing the wind and knew it completely when they heard it - he was talking about the captain of the team, Roy Keane!

Alan Smith replaced Roy Keane, and Smith was much better after he came out, of course, it was Roy Keane's previous inaction, and the old Jazz openly expressed their dissatisfaction with Roy Keane's performance in the game.

Reminiscent of the long-rumored contradiction between Roy Keane and Ferguson, many people understand.

However, they began to think about Roy Keane's performance again, Ferguson's words are not entirely biased, Roy Keane's performance is really not bright, not even qualified, Morris's goal is a direct breakthrough of him, and the next few defensive performances are not very good, and he is a central player with Scholes, he is a normal defensive type, defense is his main task, if the defense is not good, what can the offense perform? In fact, Roy Keane didn't have a shot on goal and didn't do anything offensively.

To sum it up, what Ferguson said makes sense.

However, there are definitely a few reporters who really go back to the reasons for Manchester United's big loss, most of them just remember the words of the two managers and then report accordingly, and the interesting part is here, according to Wan Sheng, the reason for Manchester United's failure is that their young players are not doing well, and according to Ferguson, the reason should be on veterans such as Roy Keane.

The words of the two are completely opposites.

Many media reporters found it interesting, and in their comments on the summary of the game, they simply divided the reasons for Manchester United's loss into two sections, one is the Wansheng section and the other is Ferguson's section.

……

Of course, there are many people who really know the reason for Manchester United's failure, and that is Manchester United's new tactics.

The Manchester City players were in the dressing room to make a discussion.

They had a lot of fresh experiences in this game, and before the game, it was hard to imagine that the team could use the new tactics to suppress Manchester United, but in the game they did, and this success will also bring more confidence, and it will also make them feel that the summer of hard work has not been in vain, and now they have won by a big score, which is something they could not have imagined before.

There was so much excitement in this game, they didn't expect it to be so easy to face Manchester United, it didn't feel like facing Manchester United, but a promoted horse opposite, and even if it was a promoted horse, it was not easy to score five goals in a game, it was five goals!

5:0!

Not to mention 5:0, for Manchester City, the last memorable Manchester derby was back in 1989, when Manchester City slaughtered Manchester United 5:1, which is definitely a memorable historical scene!

Many older Manchester City fans still remember that game vividly.

Ferguson had been in charge of Manchester United for less than three years, and it was the worst Manchester derby he had suffered, but before this game, Manchester City had not been so successful in a derby, but now the team has won 5-0, which is more than in 1989.

So this game has become a memorable history, and they have all become witnesses and participants in history.

Many people feel excited!

When you think about it many years from now, people talk about this game, and they get very excited when they mention their names, especially when you think of Nicolas Anelka, who scored two goals, and if people mention the game, they will mention him, so he was very excited, "We scored five goals!" We're amazing, five goals for Manchester United! Ha ha! I got into two! I didn't expect to score so much, I thought that if I could score a goal, God willing! ”

"I think the next time we meet them, we can still play well!"

"That's right! I feel that way too! ”

"It was so easy! They weren't as strong as they thought they we'd be, but I think it's a result of our style of play, we kept passing the ball and they didn't have anything to do ......."

"yes, our tactics are much better than theirs!"

Leto Ziegler also sighed, "It's still the boss!" Can think of such a tactic! ”

Soon a team-mate asked, "Did you play like that when you were at Derby?" ”

Ziegler shook his head, "No, it's different from now, at that time the boss asked for speed, the attack had to be fast, very fast, but now our request is to pass, in Derby County, there are not many passing requirements. ”

Ziegler explained that many of his team-mates had seen him, which made the big boy feel a little shy, and despite having been in England for more than two years, he was actually only 19 and a half years old, not yet 20 years old, and he was still just a child.

The only difference is that now he has become very confident.

After everyone saw it, he began to explain in more detail, telling the difference between the tactics of Derby County and the current one, and telling his own understanding of tactics.

Distin looked at Ziegler and the atmosphere in the locker room, feeling quite weird, he really didn't expect that after a summer, the team would become what it is now.

In the past, the locker room was full of small groups, there was little collective interaction, and no one paid attention to the newcomers at all, but now everyone is enthusiastically discussing tactics and games, and the relationship between them has also become much better in the discussion.

Perhaps this is the change brought about by the Chinese!

Now he must also admit that so far, that Chinese has done a good job in the team, and victory can really bring a lot of things, he is a victory that conquers the hearts of many people, including himself, will be somewhat convinced of him.

Let's just hope that there will be more of these victories! (To be continued......)
