The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 415 Is This Your Revenge?

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Portsmouth fans at Fratton Park had mixed feelings.

The good news is that the team was able to beat the visiting Manchester United 2:1 at home, and more importantly, the Pompeii Army did not give Ferguson's Red Devils many chances throughout the game. The lead, the 2:0 advantage was maintained until nine 10 minutes later.

It was not until extra time that central defender Ferdinand scored a face-saving goal for the team, but this has been impossible to change Manchester United's nightmare of being sniped by Portsmouth in this crucial championship battle.

The sad thing is that the team unfortunately missed the European qualification for next season. Although they have tried their best, Bolton finally defeated Wigan away, and Everton also defeated Fulham at home. The team successfully qualified for the UEFA Cup next season, while Portsmouth and Reading failed to reverse the situation in the end.

Pain and happiness, this may be the portrayal of the mood of Pompeii fans now.

What this group of Pompeii corps didn't know was that, as their opponents in this game, Ferguson and Manchester United players were also in the same mood. They were happy now, but at the same time they were also embarrassed and even annoyed.

No one would have thought that in such a crucial game, Manchester United would lose, and they would lose so embarrassingly that they were almost helpless. No one would have thought of this before the game, and even Portsmouth The head coach Redknapp himself dared not make such a prediction, but it happened.

The offensive combination of Berbatov and Cristiano Ronaldo, who have performed very well this season, can only be described as bad in this game, especially the Portuguese, facing Portsmouth's defense , he couldn't feel it at all, and what was finally presented to all the fans was one kick after another.

Ferguson has tailored a new offensive system for Manchester United this season. Scholes is responsible for passing and delivering shells in the midfield, Carrick is behind him for organization and long passes, and Berbatov is in front. On the ball, Cristiano Ronaldo is responsible for attacking the space Berbatov and Ryan Giggs pulled out for him, playing his speed advantage.

Cristiano Ronaldo was able to score [-] goals in the Premier League this season, all relying on the team's tactics, but this game Portsmouth obviously deployed defenses against this, pinching Bale At this point of Batov, it is difficult for the Bulgarian center to hold the ball in this game.

By strangling Berbatov and restricting Ryan Giggs on the left, Cristiano Ronaldo's power has been weakened by more than half, and he himself is not good at fighting tough battles, and eventually evolved into his one kick after another. Spray.

Ferguson frowned throughout the game, looking helpless.

Sometimes many fans have a misunderstanding of the head coach, thinking that they do nothing. For example, in this game, many Manchester United fans will definitely have some objections to Ferguson's on-the-spot command in their hearts, but the problem is that the game time is from beginning to end. Only nine 10 minutes, plus intermission and stoppage time, no more than two hours.

And who can guarantee that they can find the loopholes in the opponent's defense and attack them in less than two hours?
More importantly, this kind of on-the-spot command must first consider the adjustments under the premise of maintaining the advantages you currently hold. If you lose your hard-won advantages in pursuit of adjustments and effects, in the end you will It becomes useless to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

Fortunately, after losing this game, Manchester United won the league championship instead!

Thinking of this, Ferguson, who was sitting in the coaching bench of the away team at Fratton Park, had a wry smile on his face. He really didn't know what kind of expression and reaction he should give, because this kind of record of losing and winning the championship cannot Saying no, can only say very little, and it is very embarrassing for the winner.

"Congratulations, Alex!" Portsmouth's head coach Redknapp walked to the front of the visiting team's bench and extended his hand towards Ferguson. The two were old rivals in the Premier League, but they have always been Redknapp has never coached a top team, and he is not a big threat to Ferguson, so the relationship is not bad.

"Thank you, Harry!" Ferguson stood up, shook hands with Redknapp, and smiled somewhat awkwardly.

In this game, he was indeed restrained to death by Redknapp's tactics. At the same time, it also fully exposed a very serious problem on Manchester United's front line, that is, the offensive ability is not strong enough, especially Berbatov , Lack of tenacious fighting spirit and blood at critical moments.

Sometimes football matches do not simply depend on whether your skills are good or not, or whether your overall strength is strong, but whether you have enough tenacious fighting spirit and willpower to defeat your opponents in some key games, which requires you Able to withstand pressure at critical moments, even at all costs.

Why is Keane so favored by Ferguson? Because he can always stand up at critical moments and bring blood to the team and everyone, even if this blood is based on fierce and brutal fouls, even if this blood is criticized by many opponents , even with a very unreasonable sarcasm, but he is useful.

The current Manchester United team obviously lacks this kind of thing. Berbatov is too weak, Cristiano Ronaldo's character is not mature enough, and he lacks stability. Giggs and Scholes have not always been like this types of players.

Redknapp knows Ferguson very well. He knows that at this moment, the championship should never be mentioned, and Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur must not be mentioned, so he stood on the sidelines with Ferguson, watching some The players and staff of Manchester United celebrated their victory on the field. He smiled and said, "After this season, the Premier League may change!"

From the very first season of the Premier League, Manchester United and Arsenal have become the masters of this league, especially Manchester United, but after Ye Qiu entered Stamford Bridge, he led Chelsea to break the monopoly of Manchester United and Arsenal on the league championship for two consecutive years. It has laid a solid foundation for Chelsea's three consecutive championships, and has also become another Premier League team that holds the European Champions Cup.

But if that’s the case, it’s just adding one more team to the traditional duo of the Premier League, but the arrival of Benitez made Liverpool perform very well in the Champions League despite their weak competition in the Premier League. Excellent, reaching the final again this year, this is definitely a breakthrough for Liverpool.

But just when everyone thought that the Premier League would enter a new era ruled by the traditional top four, Ye Qiu returned to the Premier League, bought Tottenham Hotspur, and spent a year building the team It has become a cutting-edge force in the Premier League.

As the Premier League surpassed the Bundesliga and won four Champions League places, the distribution of the traditional semi-finals' Champions League qualifications seems very logical. To a certain extent, these four teams have never felt much pressure. Because for them, it doesn't matter if they can't win the championship, at least they still have a qualification for the Champions League, and they can guarantee this huge income every season.

But now, all balance is broken.

The joining of Tottenham Hotspur has changed the number of Premier League teams capable of competing for the Champions League from the original four to the current five. That is to say, as long as Tottenham Hotspur continues to maintain its current development Every season, a team is doomed to lose the UEFA Champions League and lose this huge income.

In this way, all teams aspiring to the Champions League can only have one choice, and that is to strengthen the team.

Football matches, especially the league standings, often depend on the overall strength of your team. For a team with insufficient overall strength, no matter how well you perform on the spot, it will be difficult for you to get a good ranking, because your Play will not remain stable for long.

Therefore, Redknapp said that the Premier League is about to change. This is definitely not an exaggeration, and it is even true.

"It's only been one season, and it's not yet time to draw conclusions!" Ferguson was still stubborn.

Redknapp laughed. He naturally knew that with the rise of Tottenham Hotspur, even Manchester United felt threatened. This season Tottenham Hotspur won the third place in the league. Woolen cloth?With Ye Qiu's coaching ability, coupled with Tottenham Hotspur's team this season, and the strong financial resources behind him, will Tottenham Hotspur next season be stronger than it is now?

But thinking so in his heart, Redknapp didn't say anything, but said to Ferguson with a faint smile, "Then I wish you luck, Alex!" After finishing speaking, he left .

For him, who has always coached the middle and lower reaches of the team, the team's relegation is the goal, because that can ensure the team's annual income of tens of millions of euros, which is the most critical for the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. , As for entering the European competition and winning the domestic cup championship, that is an additional point, an additional bonus.

Because of this, Redknapp has no pressure at all.

Ferguson looked at his opponent for many years. In fact, Redknapp's coaching ability is not bad. Ferguson himself knows this very well, but he has been wandering in the middle and lower reaches of the team.

Looking up and looking into the stadium, Ferguson saw that the players and staff were celebrating because Manchester United had won the championship.

No matter how embarrassing and embarrassing it was in the process of competing for this championship, they did win the championship no matter what. They successfully sniped Chelsea, which was aiming for four consecutive championships, and also won another league after Manchester United had been away for four years. champion.

At the very least, it's something to be happy about, isn't it?
Manchester United's players celebrated their title victory at Fratton Park, while Chelsea's players lowered their heads at Stamford Bridge, looking like deflated balls as the whistle blew for the end of the game , standing on the field dryly, not knowing what to do at this time.

Tottenham Hotspur's players looked as if the team had won the championship, celebrating wildly, which made the Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge very dissatisfied, and even booed, cursed, and even shouted in the stands. Throw debris at this group of London enemies.

From this game, from this afternoon, the grievances between the two teams have deepened and added a lot of money.

If it is said that in real life, breaking people's money is irreconcilable, then on the football field, it is also irreconcilable to snatch the championship from others. Therefore, from this moment on, they are mortal enemies and will never die. Mortal enemy, the most hated and most hated mortal enemy!
I believe that many Chelsea fans will not understand, why?Obviously a draw is everyone's satisfaction, why did Tottenham Hotspur have to take away their championship?Why did Ye Qiu insist that the team beat Chelsea?
Is this a form of revenge?

Was this what Ye Qiu had planned long ago, to take revenge on Chelsea in this way at this stadium?

In the stands of Chelsea, some fans unfurled banners and slogans and asked Ye Qiu, "Is this your revenge?"

"If yes, you succeeded!"

But there are also many Chelsea fans who are shouting for get out of class, obviously aimed at the head coach Jose Mourinho, because they have long been dissatisfied with Mourinho in the past. In this game, losing in such a game It was given to Tottenham Hotspur, they couldn't accept it, so they could only vent their anger on the head coach.

The shots of the big screen kept showing Abramovich in the VIP box. The Russian had a gloomy face, looking through the somewhat darkened tempered glass window, which made people feel shuddering. What are you thinking about at this moment?
But all of this has nothing to do with Ye Qiu. He has learned the lesson of the League Cup final this time. As soon as the whistle sounded for the end of the game, he turned around and walked towards the coaching bench of the home team, stopping Murray halfway. Neo.

"Congratulations, Mr. Mourinho!" Ye Qiu stretched out his hand far away, with a smile on his face.

Mourinho really wanted to punch him directly, but he could only bear it, because this is how the world is, if you lose, you have to bear the price of losing. He might consider punching Ye Qiu, But the consequences and costs are beyond his reach.

"Congratulations to you too!" Mourinho said with a gloomy face, his tone was heavy, and he paused every word, revealing deep-seated hatred.

"Thank you!" Ye Qiu didn't seem to notice it at all, and responded with a smile, "I'm really very happy, I really didn't expect the team to be able to reach the third place. Originally, I really planned to avoid relegation, but thanks to you In other words, we have worked hard and climbed to this position step by step. To you, speaking of it, I really want to thank you!"

"You're welcome!" Mourinho responded in a deep voice.

"What you want, if it weren't for Mr. Mourinho, you have the ability to predict, how can you see that we can win the League Cup this season? Can we qualify for the Champions League? And now we still have a chance to win the UEFA Cup, said Looks like your predictive ability is really powerful, you should go to the street to set up a fortune telling!"

Ye Qiu's words were also full of sarcasm and sarcasm, as if he was slapping Mourinho's ears, asking him, didn't you say that I can't win anything with a group of children?Now I have the League Cup in my hand, I still got it from you, I have reached the Champions League, and I still have a chance to win the UEFA Cup, do you think I can win?

After saying this, Ye Qiu breathed a sigh of relief on purpose, "The league is finally over, and we have also fulfilled our biggest wish and goal of this season, so I am very happy."

After speaking, Ye Qiu turned around and left, while Mourinho was trembling with anger behind him, but he suppressed his anger.

He once said before the season that Chelsea's biggest goal this season is to complete this unprecedented feat of four consecutive championships, while Ye Qiu said that if Chelsea's goal is to win the championship, then Tottenham Hotspur The biggest goal of the season is to prevent Chelsea from winning the title.

In fact, this season, the two teams seem to be deadly rivals. They kept fighting, the League Cup champion, and in the last round, the most important thing for Chelsea and the two champions Mourinho is most sure of. Nam Tottenham were devastated.

The new hatred and the old hatred made Mourinho's eyes feel as if they were about to breathe fire, and now he even had the urge to rush up and eat Ye Qiu.

Stamford Bridge is still filled with the deafening boos, dismissal and curses of Chelsea fans, some of which are aimed at the visiting team Tottenham Hotspur, and some are aimed at the coach Jose Mourinho.

Chelsea fans are not very satisfied with the performance of the team in the past two seasons, especially for Mourinho. Many Chelsea fans felt that Mourinho should put all his energy on football instead of All day thinking about attracting the attention of the media, being exposed in front of the media, and even doing some weird words and deeds.

And if it was when Chelsea performed well, the fans could only choose to endure their anger, but this does not mean that they forgot. The league champions were reversed by Tottenham Hotspur at home, which made them feel annoyed, and they also vented all their anger on Mourinho, so a group of voices shouted to dismiss get out of class.

Tottenham Hotspur got their own satisfactory results. After everyone celebrated on the court, they happily walked into the player channel and walked to the visiting team's locker room.

When Ye Qiu was about to enter the dressing room, he happened to meet several Chelsea players. He also greeted Drogba, Lampard, Terry and other players successively, and comforted them. They all expressed their gratitude to Ye Qiu for his comfort, and at the same time expressed that they were fine.

As a professional player, I am used to losing. Losing the championship is not a big problem, it's just a little uncomfortable in my heart.

Compared to the tit-for-tat on football, all emotions should be forgotten and put aside when off the pitch, so they don't hate Ye Qiu either, but they feel a little embarrassed in their hearts.

Ye Qiu was also mentally prepared for such a result, and could only wait for time to resolve it.

At least, many of them are still players under Eliza Moon's company, so the connection and relationship between them will not be lost.

After entering the player channel, after saying goodbye to each other, they divided things up.

This is professional football!
