P. 199: What is your long-term goal?
The game is over!
Old Trafford is silent!
Manchester United fans didn't expect them to lose to Birmingham City at Old Trafford, and they lost so badly, losing and losing!
Looking at the 1-3 result, Manchester United fans were silent.
It didn't take long for the Manchester United fans to start cursing loudly, cursing Dongfang Chen, this ungrateful guy, if it wasn't for Manchester United to bring him to the Premier League, would this guy be where he is today?
Dongfang Chen, this white-eyed wolf, Manchester United fans hate this damn guy to death.
Suddenly, it started to rain in the gloomy sky!
The raindrops poured down and washed over Old Trafford as if they were going to wash away the shame of the night.
Manchester United fans stood in the rain for a long time, reluctant to leave.
The moment the whistle blew, the players of the Birmingham team were thrilled to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford, they were very excited, they staged a dragon slaying legend!
"It's the biggest upset since the start of the Premier League this season! Congratulations to Birmingham, a team that is not fancied by anyone, who have won against defending champions Manchester United, congratulations! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
Yes, no one was bullish on Birmingham before the game.
In the pre-match predictions for the new season in the major media, as well as the predictions of some football celebrities, although the Birmingham team has invested a lot this summer, his only goal is relegation.
These forecasters have speculated that Birmingham City have a good chance of relegation, and they sit in third from bottom.
It was such a team that surprised everyone by winning away at Manchester United and causing a shocking upset.
Of course, the most surprising thing is Dongfang Chen's table in this game, he is the most dazzling player in this game, his limelight even overwhelmed Rooney, overwhelmed Berbatov and others, which can be regarded as a slap in the face of Manchester United.
It was Dongfang Chen, who was abandoned by the Manchester United people at the beginning, who pushed the Manchester United team down the abyss, and now there are many people who want to ask the Manchester United people, do you regret it now?
After the game, Alex Ferguson did not walk to the away team's dugout to shake hands with the opposing coach as usual, he turned and left the scene, hurried into the players' tunnel, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Looking at Ferguson who was leaving, McLeish was slightly stunned, and then smiled slightly.
Dongfang Chen was named the man of the match, but he did not go up to accept the award, which was replaced by Birmingham assistant coach Roy Aitken.
Dongfang Chen has now gone to a hospital in Manchester accompanied by the team doctor to go for a check-up.
Dongfang Chen is now one of the indispensable figures in the Birmingham team, McLeish is very nervous about Dongfang Chen's injury, although the team doctor said that there should be no big problem, but for the sake of insurance, McLeish still asked the team doctor to take Dongfang Chen to check, so as not to have any accidents.
Dongfang Chen is very grateful to McLeish for the importance he values, really very grateful.
When Dongfang Chen arrived at the hospital, the Old Trafford stadium was undergoing Manchester United's post-match press conference against Birmingham.
The media reporters are very much looking forward to the post-match press conference.
There are many, many stories in this game that are worth digging into, and they can't wait to see them in the newspapers.
The media reporters came to the press conference hall early, sat in their seats, discussed the game with the people they knew well, and expressed their views on the game.
The entire press conference hall was noisy and the discussion was very intense.
At this moment, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson led Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov into the venue, and the reporters at the scene immediately focused their cameras on them, frantically pressing the shutter and flashing the spotlights.
Just as Alex Ferguson and the others were seated, Birmingham head coach McLeish also led Sebastian Larsson and Ridgewell inside.
The media reporters at the scene immediately abandoned the "old man" and greeted the "new man".
The reporters turned their cameras on McLeish, Sebastian Larsson and others, excitedly pressing the shutter, which was the protagonist of the game.
Alex Ferguson, who was sitting on the stage, didn't show any expression, just sat there quietly, as if he hadn't seen McLeish and the others walk in.
Ferguson can hold it, but McLeish doesn't, he's very personable.
McLeish approached Ferguson with a smile on his face, extended his right hand in a friendly manner, and said kindly, "Sir, it's a pleasure to see you again." ”
Seeing that McLeish was like this, Sir Alex Ferguson could not continue to hold it, he also smiled slightly, shook McLeish's right hand, and said, "I am also very happy to meet you." ”
The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries, and then sat down in their seats, waiting for the press conference to begin.
The press officer on the scene immediately announced the start of the press conference.
Alex Ferguson was the first to say: "It's a difficult game for us, we're full of injuries and we're in a slump, so I saw it going like this. But I'm not happy with the players' performance, it was a bad game. ”
Alex Ferguson criticised the entire United squad in front of all journalists.
Alex Ferguson added: "Today our opponents Birmingham City have a very good table, they are a team that has always been very strong, their manager is very thoughtful, they have been very good in the summer transfers, this is a team that has always had a very reasonable personnel structure, and the quality is good, I don't think their task this season is just to avoid relegation, this season, they have a lot to do!" ”
Alex Ferguson also praised the Birmingham team.
This caught the reporters below by surprise that Alex Ferguson would say this, which they did not expect.
In the eyes of media reporters, Alex Ferguson should be furious, not give Birmingham team face at all, and slam the opponent hard.
What's going on here?
This question is on the minds of all media reporters.
At this point, Birmingham manager Alex McLeish said: "Manchester United are a very strong team, they have a long history and a lot of glory. At this stage they are still very good and they are very good and playing a team like this away puts a lot of pressure on our Birmingham team. ”
McLeish continued: "To be honest, I never thought we would win before the game, and even though I kept asking the players to fight for it, I still didn't think it was realistic. ”
McLeish paused and continued: "What I didn't expect, though, was that my players did it! It makes me proud! Their performance today was very, very good, it was completely beyond my expectations, and I am very grateful to them for their dedication in this game, thank you very much. ”
McLeish added: "Especially thanks to Easter, he played fantastic! Of course, our opponents were a little out of form today, otherwise we wouldn't have had a chance. I know Manchester United won't go on like this forever and in my heart they are still strong title contenders. ”
The media reporters at the scene were a little confused, what happened to these two guys? Why didn't there be the strong smell of gunpowder between the fans on both sides at the scene?
The media reporters looked at the two guys in front of them touting each other, they really had a feeling that they were in the wrong place, and it seemed that the two of them were too harmonious, right?
The media machine is naturally very unhappy to see such a situation, and they hope that the two bigwigs on the stage will be tense, like the fans on both sides on the court.
The reporters couldn't sit still, they immediately stood up and raised their hands to ask questions, they had too many questions in their minds to ask.
Seeing that these media reporters raised their hands to ask questions, Alex Ferguson pointed at a random reporter, who immediately stood up, and this guy was a local reporter from Manchester.
The reporter stood up and immediately asked, "Sir Alex Ferguson, what do you think of this defeat for the team?" Do you think this will affect the team's title contention? ”
Alex Ferguson tightened the microphone in front of him, and then said: "I have foreseen the strength of this game, I have already said it before. It's a very difficult time for us and we won't be doing well in recent times. ”
Alex Ferguson paused before continuing: "But I can tell you unequivocally that this will not affect Manchester United's determination to win the league title. Our goal for Manchester United this season remains to win the league and the UEFA Champions League. ”
Alex Ferguson's words were resounding, and he wanted to give confidence to the United fans and reassure the injured fans tonight.
Of course. Sir Alex Ferguson is telling the truth, and let's be honest, Manchester United's goal is naturally to win the league and the Champions League, which cannot be changed at any time.
Sir Alex Ferguson's reply was of course very satisfying to the local reporters in Manchester, but it was very dissatisfying to the reporters in other regions.
At this time, a lot of media reporters raised their hands, and everyone hoped that they could be the next lucky ones to be selected.
The press officer at the scene randomly ordered a reporter, and a beautiful young female reporter stood up.
After the female reporter stood up, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, this beautiful reporter is really beautiful, and her figure is even hotter, which is very in line with the aesthetics of the British.
The beautiful reporter smiled charmingly, and then asked Mr. McLeish: "May I ask Mr. McLeish, what do you think about your club's victory over the mighty Manchester United team?" Will your club's relegation target be adjusted? ”
Alex McLeish motioned for the journalist to sit down, and McLeish said: "It was a very fortuitous game, although we won against Manchester United, but it doesn't mean that we are strong, I am not the kind of person who is blind and arrogant. ”
McLeish said: "I know myself fairly well, I know what kind of quality my team is now, I don't think my team can go for higher goals now, our goal at this stage is to stay in the Premier League. ”
The beautiful reporter heard McLeish's words clearly, and she continued to ask: "Mr. McLeish said that the goal in the early stage is relegation, which means that you have a long-term goal plan, I want to hear it, will you have higher goals in some stages in the future?" What are these goals? ”
Macleish's eyes tightened, this beautiful reporter is very sharp!
