Section 651 The main tone of the season
ChineseLiverpool once again beat Manchester United at Old Trafford with a 3-1 victory, which also denied Manchester United the opportunity to compete for a place in the table.
"It's not a big deal." In this regard, Ferguson is still stubborn, "We are still a much better team than Liverpool, a loss in one game cannot decide anything, this season, the league title will belong to Manchester United." ”
"Can't Ferguson really see that Manchester United's midfield is not as good as ours, and every time we encounter it, we can only play it?" Zhao Yaning was quite puzzled by this, "If you don't solve the problem of the back, it will be difficult for them to win us with this style of play." ”
"But we're fighting for the league, not the cup." In this regard, Alonso can see clearly, "Manchester United's squad thickness is better, the style of play pays more attention to the wing, and it is more suitable for the UK, not to mention Ferguson's wide connections and deep friendships in the UK. ”
Zhao Yaning naturally couldn't refute Manchester United's status in the UK, and when he heard Alonso say this, he could only sigh and admit it.
Indeed, Manchester United in the UK is indeed very polished. Many teams in this league have been supported by Manchester United, and the media says that Manchester United has a team all over the UK, which is not true at all.
Of course, it is really impossible for the Manchester United team to admit defeat directly when they meet Manchester United, and rely on match-fixing to make Manchester United win, that kind of thing is to smoke the FA in a big mouth, although that is not bad, but Manchester United will not be stupid enough to have a stalemate with the FA. The team that Manchester United contacts, generally speaking, is a team with coaches or players from Manchester United, and when they meet Manchester United, they will have some impact on the team, and they will never shout 'kill *** Manchester United', but meet Liverpool...... That's hard to say. Generally speaking, in the league, when the weak team meets the strong team, the decision to win or lose the game is often no longer the strength, but the fighting spirit, those teams that are in harmony with Manchester United will naturally not have much hatred for Manchester United, and the fighting spirit will naturally not be very good, so that they will not be much different from giving points to Manchester United.
According to the media, five or six of the English teams are descendants of Manchester United. In this way, there are about 30 points, which is much easier and easier for Manchester United than Liverpool when it goes to fight, and such a thing will naturally give Manchester United a lot of confidence.
Team management is a science, not simply beating the opponent and it's over. Whether it was Liverpool in the 80s or Chelsea in the first two seasons, they were all football powerhouses, but they didn't understand this kind of long-term business philosophy. Therefore, after Liverpool entered the 9o era, after two tragedies, the strength of the team declined, and as soon as the problem appeared, there was a situation of breaking the drum and beating people, and Chelsea passed the peak, and this season entered a recession, and everyone immediately wanted to bite a piece of meat off them.
The philosophy of business is not cultivated in a day, and such friendship is not easy to obtain. When Moggi ran Juventus, he spared no effort to suppress Inter, but for Milan, he has always preferred to let Milan shine - he knows Berlusconi's ability very well, he knows very well who can afford to provoke and who can't. For Parma and Fiorentina, who are about to be relegated, he did not hesitate to help, and Juventus's hardcore brother Siena needless to say. For Roma President Sensi, who wants to run for the president of the league, he has suppressed Moratti of United Mi - this style has created the Juventus team that dominates Serie A. And now, Juventus has been relegated, and Inter Milan dominates Serie A, but Moratti has no such awareness at all. When he was about to catch up with Inter in Rome, he immediately jumped out and said to the media, 'There are still black forces in Serie A', and then ...... Without that, Roma couldn't win the ball, and the practice of the Italian leftist team not getting a penalty in the game reappeared. However, Inter's domineering style has also made the whole Serie A hold a grudge. Zhao Yaning believes that if one day, they decline again, it will not be easy to recover.
Similarly, Real Madrid, La Liga, has always been very concerned about their own faction younger brothers such as Getafe, Malaga, and Real Sociedad. In the past few years, Barcelona was poor because the younger brother basically only left Levante, but as soon as he got rich in the past two years, he immediately began to spare no effort to build a good relationship - after buying Eto'o at a record price, Mallorca lost two O-3 games last season cleanly, facing Real Madrid, but he scored three, forcing Real Madrid to kill them 4-3 in the end, and in this season, when Barcelona met Mallorca, Barcelona itself could not open the situation, but in the end, Mallorca did not score a penalty and made its own own, successfully helped Barcelona to win all three points. And several of Sevilla's current players, Barcelona also spared no expense to make an offer, and the result naturally made Sevilla behave like a gifting boy when they met Barcelona, and they were extremely excited when they met Real Madrid. Of course, there is also Atletico Madrid, in order not to let Real Madrid win the championship, they can lose to Barcelona by deliberately not playing well in the game, and the angry captain Torres is eager to transfer immediately......
As for the Bundesliga, not to mention, Bayern's habit is to buy your people, and at the same time tell you: This is for the good of the Bundesliga, we bought your people, and won glory for the Bundesliga in Europe, and you are also honored!
The same is true for Manchester United's operations. Wigan Athletic has played friendlies since they were in the lower leagues, with loan players to help, and Wigan Athletic's president is still friends with Alex Ferguson. Similarly, Sunderland is known as Manchester United's second team, always loaning Manchester United players, and the relationship is also very unusual. With the likes of Tottenham, who have forged alliances with the same enemies, and Everton, who have been forged through the transfers of Phil Neville and Wayne Rooney, Manchester United's connections in the UK are extensive. Moreover, these relationships cannot be leveraged by others at all - the transfer payments of Carrick, Rooney and others are significantly higher than the market price, and this kind of assistance cannot be changed in a few words.
Until now, Manchester United has Aston Villa, West Ham United, Wigan Athletic, Sunderland and other hitters, Tottenham and Everton are all allies of Manchester United, and Middlesbrough and Newcastle United also have a good relationship with Manchester United. Chelsea can only have a good relationship, only Manchester City and Portsmouth, Arsenal has a good relationship with Blackburn, Liverpool and Fulham have a slightly closer relationship, but Fulham is a typical rat at both ends, and Manchester United also maintains a friendship, and Liverpool is not particularly good.
Manchester United have such a position, and in the battle for the league, they naturally have to think that they are superior. Although the strength is slightly worse, their status in the league determines that as long as they recover, they will not be easily challenged by others.
This kind of thing, if purely from a competitive point of view, is really not a great ability. If you really have the ability, you have to rely on your strength to fight all the invincible opponents in the league to be considered strong. But from the perspective of club management, it is indeed ability. This does not violate the law, does not break the law, and subtly affects the attitude of others towards their own team, which is indeed a skill. can play invincible opponents in the league and win the championship undefeated, for so many years, isn't it only Arsenal and Milan who have done it?
If Liverpool wants to compete for the league title this season, even if Chelsea is out early, it will be difficult.
"It's really troublesome...... Otherwise, we will simply lose the cup and play the league with all our might? ”
Such an idea can only be joked. Losing deliberately is not a viable idea. In the next third round of the League Cup, although Liverpool sent a group of substitutes, they still defeated Reading and easily qualified.
Then in the following league, Liverpool won easily. And, to Liverpool's delight, Milito performed quite well in this game, and he scored for Liverpool at the beginning of the game.
In this game, Liverpool took the lead through a corner kick opportunity early in the game, and a header from Hyypia gave Liverpool the lead from the start. Immediately afterwards, Gerrard had a long-range shot and Garcia grabbed the ball in the box and slotted it into the net to extend the score.
Milito didn't play much in the first half, and although he recovered from injury, he has been finding his form in these games. But in the second half, Milito, who had found his form, finally played well. At the end of the game, Zhao Yaning sent the ball to his feet with a straight kick, and when Milito, who was facing away from the goal, received the ball, there was an interception by the opposing player behind him, and the position was not very good, but he made a beautiful turn and kicked the ball out! The ball bounced on the ground and flew into the goal.
This allowed Milito to finally score a goal that satisfied him, and he was extremely excited to celebrate his goal.
It's just that after this game, Liverpool was not able to open up the gap with Manchester United. Manchester United won a 4-O victory, and Rooney scored three goals alone, which also made the media impatient to give Rooney the title of 'England's first man', and also declared that this Manchester United was 'the strongest Manchester United in 2O'.
"It's boring to say something like this, if Manchester United is the strongest in 2o years, how weak would Manchester United be before?" Zhao Yaning is very dismissive of this news, Manchester United is now abusive, and the midfielders rely on an immature Fletcher, and it is still difficult for them to play against strong teams.
'I'd rather see the news than that – Arsenal drew at home to West Ham and Arsene Wenger got into a scuffle with West Ham manager Pardew in a fit of rage...... When did Coach Arsene Wenger become so grumpy? ”
Arsene Wenger is also about to be confused! Zhao Yaning sighed at this. Only nine games have passed this season and Arsenal have conceded nine goals. I thought that with Gala, the team's defense could get better, who knows, what they should be like, or what they should be. And the media is right, as soon as Vieira leaves, Arsenal's defense is getting worse.
And in this game, Pardew didn't know what evil he had hit, after West Ham scored a goal, he learned from Mourinho, and celebrated wildly on the sidelines, which made Wenger look unpleasant, and the two scuffled.
'Arsenal are really finished, Arsene Wenger has lost his cool. And, do you see the news? Chelsea lost 2-1 to Tottenham, Terry spelled out the red card, the defense is still scum, and the 2o year old is in goal...... They're out of the picture. ”
So, is this season a double red meeting? Looks like the task isn't going to be easy. However, it's the kind of struggle that makes it more interesting. Cat flutter Chinese
