It's the familiar Old Trafford players' tunnel again, the two teams are familiar again, and the two managers are familiar again.

This is Leeds United's fourth game of the season against Manchester United and the second visit to Old Trafford this season. The two teams have met once in the league before, at the home of Leeds United. There are two meetings in the Carabao Cup semi-finals, one home and one away.

This is the fifth round of the FA Cup, Manchester United at home to Leeds United.

Then, on 30 March, Manchester United will also have a game at home to Leeds United.

Unlike the last game, George Li did not chew bubble gum to provoke Ferguson, nor did he deliberately pretend to be cold to ignore Ferguson, but took the initiative to get up and chat with Ferguson.

"Hey, old man."

Ferguson chewed gum and ignored George Lee.

"Don't do that, old man. I really didn't do it, it was Chris P's. ”

After winning the League Cup at Leeds United, George Lee won the first trophy of his managerial career.

After the game, Chris Casper showed George Lee a picture of himself P.

A black-and-white photo, there are two players in the locker room, one is holding a wine bottle, the other is attached to something, and the other is sitting next to him wearing a shirt with two sleeves rolled up, which should be a coach of the team, but the avatar has been changed to the head of George Lee, who is holding a wine bottle and pouring wine into his mouth.

This was supposed to be a photo of Alex Ferguson in his thirties when he led the team to win the championship for the first time, and the one that George Lee, Casper and McGee had seen in a pub when they were in Scotland turned out to be what they are now.

Then George Lee emailed this photo of Ferguson after Helen met Ferguson in the stands that day, which was a joke with him.

"Boy, do you think it's great to win a championship?"

"Where, where, I still have a long way to go."

"You're going to send these people to play against me?"

George Lee took a look at his line-up, Anton Ferdinand, Kevin Dawson, James Milner, Ernest Derwig, Andy Gray......

It's basically an all-bench lineup.

"I don't think it's too bad."

"There are still minors, do you look down on my old man like this?"

Ferguson was referring to Leeds United's starting number 74, Jan Arneson.

"17 years old, 17 years old, I signed a contract seriously, I just signed it." George Lee hurriedly explained.

It's also strange to Ferguson, today Manchester United is sending the main force out, except for the recently injured Xiao Xiaoluo and Rooney, who has a cold somewhat, the others are basically the main force.

On the other hand, Leeds United, because of the previous League Cup just won the championship, and the long-term campaign of the main team, Lee is ready to give up another domestic cup and specialize in the league and the Europa League when he has already won a domestic cup.

Although the League Cup and FA Cup are not a part of the hierarchy, they are still a champion.

George Lee is now so active to go to Ferguson because of another thing.

"The game is over, are you free?"

"Not available."

"Do you want to stop thinking about it?"

"Not available."

"Jim recently bought a new horse, and it seems to be pretty fast......"

"Don't leave after kicking, I'll take you to our new fried fish shop here."

After saying that, Ferguson ignored George Lee and walked into the stadium first.

^^^

Do you have a branch in Manchester? - Lee

No, for the time being, only Cardiff and Leeds have it, and Cardiff's house is being taken care of by my uncle, what's wrong? - Helen

It seems that someone is infringing, go back and let your dad sue him. - Lee

？？？ - Helen

Come back and say. - Lee

In Manchester, at a shop called Charles's Fried Fish, Ferguson and George Lee sat in a corner seat with fish and chips on the table.

George Li picked up the menu, first confirmed that the dishes were indeed different, and then carefully looked at the name of the store, there is indeed a difference between "Charles's fried fish" and "Charles's fried fish", one with a skimming and with an S, and the other is not.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Ferguson picked up a french fries and put it in his mouth. George Lee can see that he is in a good mood now, because in the game just now, Manchester United, who played the main game, defeated Leeds United 3-1 against the substitutes, although he was scored a goal by the substitutes, but at least he won.

Unbeknownst to George Lee, Ferguson reprimanded Patrice Evra for fifteen minutes after the game for the only goal scored by Ernest Derwig.

"Isn't it a long time since I consulted your old man, I specially ......"

"I don't eat this, say something useful."

"Isn't your old man well-informed, he has won championships in various competitions, and he has been to many places......

"Talk about the point, if you don't say it, I'll leave."

Although Ferguson said this, he didn't mean to leave, but picked up a fried fish and looked at it, then put it down, and picked up a french fries again, dipped it in ketchup and put it in his mouth.

"Okay, okay, I say." George Li hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm just asking you what to pay attention to when playing against the Italian team and how to deal with their defense." ”

"Hmm~" Ferguson didn't tell George Lee right away, but began to think about how to express it.

"The Italian players and the coaches have a way of defending, in their words, they can even defend with elegance. I'm coming up in the Europa League quarter-final against Roma and I'd like to come to you for some inspiration. ”

"What inspiration do I have, you should go to Benitez, that Spanish fat man didn't play against the Italian team in the Champions League last season, and it all turned him around."

"After all, you are my teacher, if I don't come to you, who else can I find."

There are some things that George Lee can't say. He can't tell Alex Ferguson that next season you're going to play Roma in the Champions League and slaughter them.

In later generations, there were two classic games in which Premier League teams played Serie A teams, one was the 04/05 Champions League final, Liverpool reversed AC Milan in Istanbul night. The other was the second leg of the 06/07 Champions League quarter-finals, where Manchester United beat Roma 7-1.

"Don't say these nice things, when you need me, you will be a teacher, a teacher, and when you don't need me, you will be an old man and an old man all day long."

"Just pass on some experience to me."

"Okay, I'll tell you a little bit."

In the end, Ferguson couldn't resist George Li's soft grinding, put down the fries in his hand, and began to tell you about his experience.

"The Italian team's defense is elegant or not, it's all fart, I can't look down on the others except for those top ones, and from my Manchester United point of view, Cannavaro is more suitable for my team than Nesta."

"Damn, it's far away, let's not talk about Manchester United."

"Italy's defenders are strong not because of their physicality, but because of their defensive quality. This includes the tactical literacy of the players and the defensive system of the team. ”

"The Italian team or the Italian coach has its own defensive system, which gives priority to defense and then seeks opportunities to attack and counterattack."

'It's different from the long balls that England used to play wide open before, we were visible attacks and they were invisible defences.

"Offense wins games and defense wins championships."

"That's why it's often said in international football that England is strong and Italy is weak."

George Lee listened to Ferguson's tirade, but basically did not use anything for the rest of the game, and finally interrupted Ferguson.

"Old man, can you say something useful, and is it appropriate for you to say that about England?"

Ferguson was unimpressed.

"Hehe~, I'm Scottish."
