Chapter 109: The Godfather
When the Tottenham players were still celebrating on the field, the electronic card of the substitution had been raised on the sidelines, Rooney, Shinji Kagawa!
Before the end of the first half, Ferguson chose to make a substitution, it can be seen that he is not satisfied with the performance of the Japanese at all, although the substitution at this time is likely to deal a blow to Kagawa Shinji's self-confidence, but Ferguson doesn't care so much, his team can't tolerate vulnerable people, if the Japanese will really lose confidence because of this, it is also Kagawa Shinji's own business, Ferguson just wants victory.
Falling behind by two goals in the first half, which Ferguson would never allow, he didn't allow his team to be so embarrassed, yes! It's just not allowed!
At Manchester United, Alex Ferguson is the king, and here he can make any decision that is good for Manchester United, even if it is good for him.
This is Ferguson's right and responsibility!
Godfather! There's a godfather's way of doing things!
Alex Ferguson is the godfather of the Red Devils and Manchester United!
Digan was also a little surprised by Ferguson's substitution, although Shinji Kagawa performed badly, but there were only ten minutes left in the first half, and Ferguson refused to give the Japanese a chance, so decisive when making substitutions.
Godfathers are godfathers!
Deegan remembers what he had just seen on the road to Old Trafford. The bronze statue of Sir Busby stands on the side of Maine Avenue as sacred and majestic as it stands, and every fan heading to Old Trafford will be in awe of the splendor and achievements of this legendary figure in football history before they step onto the pitch.
Deegan had reason to believe that a few years later, when Alex. When Ferguson said goodbye to the altar of Manchester United, people will also create a field of his own for the achievements created by the lord, and be worshiped by the world.
While the Scottish's journey to Manchester United will not be as tortuous as Busby's, his 20-plus years at the helm of the Red Devils are destined to go down in the annals of United's crowned predecessors.
When the world compares Ferguson to Busby, Busby's greatness is understandable, and Ferguson is destined to be a legend in the history of English football.
Ferguson, who succeeded Atkinson in 1986, although he did not have Busby's personal experience of the "Munich air disaster" 49 years ago, his first years in charge of Manchester United were also bumpy.
From being trusted at the start of his tenure to achieving nothing in four years, Ferguson's performance was a far cry from the European miracle he created in Aberdeen.
But in the midst of doubts and condemnation, the Scottish coach worked hard to win the first English FA Cup for Manchester United after four years in office.
Ferguson's brilliant coaching career began to get back on track step by step, and the "92 Generation" born after the "Busby Boys" in Manchester United's history became the strong capital of Manchester United's team and dominating England throughout the 90s of the 20th century.
During this period, Ferguson placed great emphasis on the team's youth system, which became the key to Manchester United's revival.
Alex Ferguson led his young squad and used a near-perfect performance to refute the fight against Alain. The public opinion and doubts of the "child theory" led by Hansen, they used actions and championships together to start his "honeymoon journey" with Manchester United for more than 20 years.
Ferguson's fame soon spread around the world, and many will recall the 1999 night at Camp Nou.
In stoppage time of the game, Ferguson substituted Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in succession, and scored two jaw-dropping goals to win the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich, thus creating the greatest classic in the history of the European Champions Cup, and Ferguson pushed his own coaching career to the peak.
Since the Premier League was restructured from League One in 1992, after 20 years of cold and summer, Manchester United has won 13 titles, which also affirms its king status in the Premier League and the uniqueness of Ferguson's governance.
Despite the short-lived Dalglish Blackburn Rovers, the-for-tat confrontation of Professor Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, the blue storm swept by Jose Mourinho at Chelsea, and the blue moon last season, there has never been any rival who has the ability to completely shake the supremacy of Manchester United and Ferguson.
In 1999, he accepted the canonization of the Queen of England, and even listed Ferguson as a human being, sometimes complaining to the fourth official on the sidelines, and sometimes roaring and bombarding the referee, etc., which abound and are not uncommon in Manchester United's game broadcasts.
But the referees only laughed at Ferguson's status and qualifications, and situations like this are just a "sight" on the sidelines of the Premier League.
Alex Ferguson's presence has not only contributed to the prosperity of Manchester United, but also spread his influence on the game of football to the British Isles and the rest of the world.
The Scottish coach's coaching career began in July 1974 at East Stirlingshire Club, over the years he not only brought a large number of stars to the football world, but also many players who were taught by his words and deeds, and chose to take up the coaching whip after retiring, which shows that the growth of the "Ferguson Department" is inseparable from Ferguson's unique football philosophy and influence, and he has created a new era for the sensitive position of football coach.
The general situation of international football today has become more and more economic interests, and Ferguson can be called a legend to maintain the position of coach for more than 20 years in a league with a very fierce business system such as the Premier League, but the longevity of the coach depends on whether the team's results are true and stable, and Ferguson's trophies are a powerful proof, as the godfather of the Red Devils, he is a coach, a great man, and a monument that is admired by future generations and unattainable.
At the moment, even though they are two goals down, there is no boo from the fans in the stands at Old Trafford, and people believe that as long as Ferguson is around, there will always be a way.
Rooney, this perverse little fat man finally got the opportunity to compete with Degan, which is under the command of Ferguson, if he was replaced by other coaches, Lu Xiaopang was afraid that he would have rebelled a long time ago, before the game, the cow had been blown out, but after the game started, he found himself thrown on the bench, treated like this, the number one star in the team, this kind of thing can only be done by Ferguson.
At this moment, the first card of the old coach has been played, replacing Shinji Kagawa with Rooney, and Lord Fu clearly intends to regain the 442 formation.
After Rooney came on the field, it also brought a signal for Ferguson to change the formation, and Manchester United's situation on the field immediately improved, and the players knew that the owner was unhappy, and if they couldn't do something, they would wait in the dressing room later, just afraid that the hair dryer could help them change their hairstyle.
Before the end of the first half, perhaps because of the two-goal lead, the Tottenham players were a little relaxed, Hutton's careless horizontal pass, was cleverly cut off by Van Persie, and then immediately on the left, the veteran Giggs quickly followed up, grabbed before Hutton blocked, a precise cross, the unguarded Rooney in the middle of the edge of the small penalty area, stabbed the goal, 1:2.
The first touch of the ball after coming on the field helped the team get back a point, and Rooney was also so excited that he ran to Degan, raised his arms and shouted, which was clearly a provocation.
Degan looked at Rooney, whose expression was slightly hideous, and his face couldn't help but chill, but fortunately, Modric came over in time and pulled Degan, otherwise, Degan didn't dare to guarantee that his fist would not blast over.
Although Rooney practiced boxing when he was young, no one would think that this little fat man, in his fists, would be Degan's opponent.
Seeing the team pull back a point, Ferguson didn't seem to be very excited, which is very different from his previous image, no one has ever regarded Ferguson as an old and serious, this old guy, when he is excited, is definitely more carried away than Lu Xiaopang, and he can't stop it.
Ferguson said this, clearly sending a signal that he is not satisfied, not satisfied, and that Manchester United is still behind, and such a score is unacceptable to him.
The stimulated Manchester United players were not willing to let go of the time before the end of the first half, and after regaining the initiative, Manchester United launched a tidal wave of attacks, and looking at their appearance, they were almost intending to equalize in the first half.
In the last minute before the end of the first half, they did almost do it, Scholes's through ball found Rooney, who fired a powerful shot by Friedel, but then rushed up Scholes with a long-range shot, Friedel, who had fallen to the ground, was completely powerless in the face of Scholes's shot, but Tottenham had good luck today, Scholes's shot hit the crossbar of the goal and then bounced off the bottom line.
Seeing this, the referee immediately blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
Degan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the moment, if the first half continued, with Manchester United's current state, maybe it was really possible to equalize the score.
When the referee came off the pitch, Ferguson looked very dissatisfied, walked over, pointed to his watch, and seemed to indicate to the referee that there was still a little time left in the stoppage time of the first half.
Looking at such a calculating old man, Digan didn't feel disgusted, although when he played for Fiorentina before, he also mocked this old Scottish guy in front of reporters, but now, he thinks Ferguson is also quite cute!
