Super Marshal

There is an unwritten tradition in the Premier League, that is, after a game is over, the coaches will arrange a place to drink and drink together after the press conference, to show that the outcome of the stadium has nothing to do with personal relationships off the court. gentleman.

As the most traditional head coach of the current Premier League, Ferguson has always been a practitioner of this tradition. There is a special room at Old Trafford, which Ferguson uses to entertain his opponents for drinking.

But there are exceptions, such as some people he is very displeased with, or he lost the ball.

Especially for the latter, Ferguson has publicly stated on more than one occasion that he really likes this tradition, but if he loses, it is difficult for him to be in the mood to drink with each other.

However, the exception is if the other party brings him the long-awaited collection of fine wines.

Ferguson likes red wine. This is known to the whole world. When Gao Han coached Chelsea, the game against Manchester United brought a collection of fine wines. It was also reported by many media reporters, so that after Gao Han left Chelsea, Ferguson more than once. Said that he was disgusted with Chelsea, because Abramovich let him not drink the good wine brought by Alpine.

And this time, when Gao Han returned to Old Trafford, he naturally prepared a bottle of good wine.

The two were in Ferguson's office, slowly tasting the red wine, and chatting without a word. Ferguson felt a bit resentful in his heart, but Gao Han won the game, let him more or less help him adjust his emotions.

Seems to be lost on the court and found in the glass, Ferguson drank faster.

After a few cups, the old Scottish man was already blood-red.

"Chelsea won again." Ferguson snorted angrily, breathing out alcohol.

The news just came from London that Chelsea beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 and ushered in a six-game winning streak. Moreover, the Blues' defense is doing well. The goal difference continues to hold down Manchester City and continue to lead the Premier League. ranking.

"Scolari's tactical play at Chelsea this season is very pragmatic, focusing on defense and balance, coupled with the strength of the Blues, as long as there are no accidents, I am afraid that not many teams can overcome them."

Ferguson's eyes were slightly muddy, and they turned red after drinking, but when he mentioned Chelsea, his eyes couldn't hide his anger.

In this round of the league, Liverpool narrowly beat West Ham in away games, and basically everything that should be won was won.

After this round, Chelsea continued to lead. Manchester City had the same points, but ranked second. Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur all ranked third with 12 points. Seventh place.

It can be said that this represents the current situation of the Premier League.

If there are no surprises, the Premier League should be the world of these teams. The only big suspense is who will be squeezed out of the top four in the traditional semi-finals, and who has the chance to Aston Villa or Tottenham Hotspur The ranking is even higher.

This is a very real problem.

"What are you worried about? Judging from the current situation, if a team really needs to be squeezed out of the top four, the probability of Arsenal and Liverpool will be greater, especially Liverpool, their offense is terrible." Gao Han analyzed.

Liverpool’s problem can be said to have a long history, but it has never been effectively resolved.

In the days of Holier, Liverpool insisted on playing double forwards with Irving and Crouch, but in the Benitez period, Liverpool began to implement a continental style and changed to play single forwards, but the problem is that the Red Army will always have only one reliable striker. The forwards are available.

In the past few seasons, Benitez has been determined to win the Atletico Madrid captain Torres, but the Sheets have insisted that Torres is the team's flag, not for sale, and the current Atletico Madrid is no longer the relegation of the year. The team, but the prestigious top European team, Torres never thought of leaving.

Unfavorable signings, leading to Liverpool's striker problem has not been able to be effectively resolved.

If it is in more targeted tactical matches, such as the Champions League knockouts, or the strong dialogue of the Premier League, this problem of Liverpool may be able to be covered up, but in the long league, the lack of stable offensive firepower, this It is quite a terrible thing.

The Red Army bullied the hard and feared the soft last season because of insufficient offensive firepower.

Strong teams are willing to smash with you, and they will expose flaws for you to take advantage of, but weak teams are different, they will stick to it, which will test the offense.

By this season, Liverpool’s problem has not improved either.

That's why Gao Han said that Liverpool is most likely to be squeezed out of the top four.

"But I would rather be Chelsea." Ferguson said lightly.

Gao Han was a little surprised, but quickly figured out what Ferguson meant, and shook his head with a wry smile, "Everyone said that I came to the Premier League with a vengeful mood and I am determined to kill Chelsea, but how do I feel that you are better than you? Do I still hate him?"

But Ferguson didn't find it funny at all. He still looked at Gao Han seriously, "Abramovich broke the rules!"

The rules are broken!

A simple sentence, but Gao Han was speechless.

As many people have said, Ferguson is the most traditional English coach. He is a Scot but has coached in the Premier League for decades. He knows everything about the Premier League. Coupled with the status of Manchester United in the Premier League, he is in The position of the Premier League coach is very lofty.

Sometimes status and influence also represent responsibility.

At the beginning, Abramovich fired Rijkaard in the bus and in front of the players of the team. Gao Han couldn't see it. He immediately bombarded Abramovich in the media because he was ranked number one in the world at the time. One of the head coaches, a well-known head coach in Europe, if he does not stand up and speak, who else will speak to the head coach?

Wouldn't it be true that all head coaches have to endure when they are wronged?

This is the case for Alpine. As the representative of the Premier League coach, why not Ferguson?

"Remember, I told you that if a head coach is unable to control the locker room, he is committing suicide. Think about it. In the past few years, how many head coaches there are in European football every year, for no reason? The team’s wrong decision has caused the internal conflicts in the locker room to be a scapegoat? After being fired for many years, has it been ridiculed and humiliated by the fans and the media?"

Gao Han listened silently. At this point, his height was not as good as Ferguson, and he was much worse.

If the results are not good, finding a head coach is the lowest cost option.

A professional club is just a company. If the company runs into problems, the solution is of course to choose the lowest cost.

As for whether it is the head coach, who cares?

What does it mean to change commandership like a knife change?

Is it true that the team's situation can be completely changed by changing a head coach?

Gao Han never denies that there are indeed some head coaches who are not strong enough, but they are able to gain a foothold in the four major European leagues. Each of them has proven themselves. There is definitely no problem in strength. Then why are there so many problems?

It's like Chelsea, the results are not satisfactory, it is all Rijkaard's problem?

Is there no problem with the club management and the players' locker room?

If there are problems, which aspect is more serious? Why only fired the coach again?

Well, even if it’s the question of Rijkaard alone, as a European coach, should Chelsea give proper respect to each other, instead of in front of everyone on the team and on the bus? Fire him in public?

Ferguson said that Abramovich broke the rules, that is, this layer of rules.

To put it bluntly, it is natural for the head coach to carry the scapegoat, but even if he wants to, he has to be decent.

What Abramovich did was simply to push all the scapegoats to Rijkaard, not only that, but he also stepped on Rijkaard's head under his feet and trampled vigorously.

"To be honest, this year's Chelsea is really strong, and Scolari's play is very pragmatic. Neither Wenger nor I are sure enough, so you have to work harder." Ferguson smiled helplessly.

Gao Han also smiled bitterly, he could realize the helplessness in Ferguson's heart.

Today's European football is dominated by capital, and Chelsea is one of the best. Abramovich has no awe in professional football at all. He only believes in capital.

But in the face of Chelsea like this, Ferguson and Wenger themselves are not very sure, they can only turn to Alpine, and the weapon in Alpine's hands, is it not Manchester City built by the capital of the Middle East?

The only difference is that Manchester City are at least a little in awe, putting Alpine in the supreme position.

"Don't worry, the game hasn't been played yet, everything is still unknown." Gao Han comforted.

He felt that this defeat was a big blow to Ferguson, mainly because of Manchester United's own problems.

Ferguson did not continue to struggle with this issue, but sighed at Gao Han.

"To be honest, do you know what you admire the most?"

"what?"

Ferguson snorted twice, "How can you always have a way to dig out so many high-level players?"

When they are in this position, they are the same in their respective clubs, the locker room also has absolute authority, and even the coaching strength between them is not far apart, but the biggest advantage of Gao Han lies in his players.

He can always dig out some players that are not very familiar to people and train them into talents.

Even if Manchester City invested 400 million in this season, there have also emerged such impressive players as Harvey Martinez, Sturridge and Sanchez, especially Harvey Martinez. Defensive commander-level players are too rare.

Faced with Ferguson’s question, Gao Han didn’t know how to answer it. He couldn’t say that he had a sharp eye and could see through the strength and potential of all the players at a glance, right?

"Luck." Gao Han smiled.

"Then you are lucky." Where can Ferguson believe it?

Don't say anything else, just say the goalkeeper.

He introduced Van der Sar and German goalkeeper Adler with a lot of money. However, after Adler came to the Premier League, his physical fitness was not strong enough to adapt at all. Soon after he was sent back to Germany, Manchester United was in vain as the goalkeeper. It's a game.

Almost at the same time, Gao Han hired Neuer in Bayern Munich, who was not as famous and performing as Adler at the time, but as a result, Neuer forcibly achieved a world-class level in Bayern Munich.

This time and again ~www.readwn.com~Ferguson is indeed depressed.

Ferguson knows how useful the two players that Gao Han introduced to Manchester United before, Matic and Pepe.

Thinking of this, Ferguson suddenly moved in his heart and smiled, looking at Gao Han maliciously.

"Why... you sell me De Gea?"

"No!" Gao Han was taken aback, my god, is this old man crazy?

But Manchester United is now in a desperate need of goalkeepers, red eyes, it is really possible to poach De Gea, after all, that little breach of contract money is a piece of cake for the wealthy Manchester United.

But the Chinatown team performed well this season, and De Gea contributed a lot to his outstanding performance. How could it be sold?

"De Gea is our back defense pillar, not for sale, don't make his mind!"
