Chapter 1444 Old Coach Ferguson
The game between Liverpool and Manchester United, even though Manchester United has weakened, still has the attention of the whole of England.

In fact, the decline of Manchester United is compared with their own previous glory and Liverpool today.If other teams think that Manchester United has declined and anyone can come up to take a bite, I'm afraid they will die miserably.This season's league has played eight rounds, and Manchester United has [-] points and ranks third, which is a proof.

So this is still a heavyweight matchup.

But such a heavyweight duel may not be seen in the future.

When preparing for this season, Ferguson was sent to the hospital because of physical discomfort.At that time, rumors that he was critically ill were once circulated.

But in fact, Ferguson was discharged after lying in the hospital for three days, and then devoted himself to the preparations for the new season.

But this incident did have a certain impact on Manchester United and Ferguson himself.

Just before the start of the season, Ferguson announced that this season would be his last at Manchester United.

"It's a tough decision to make, I'd rather die on the dugout. But my family won't allow me to do that. So I'm going to say that this season, 2015-2016, will be my last at Manchester United. One season is also my last season in football. After this season, no matter what the result is, I will retire."

That's what Ferguson said at a press conference.

The news was quite a sensation at the time.

Because Ferguson has been coaching Manchester United for 29 years, and this season is No. 30.

30 years is enough time for a newborn baby to grow into a qualified father and mother.But he has been in this position for so long.

After the establishment of the Premier League, TV broadcasting flourished, and the influence of the Premier League was extended to the world. During this period, Ferguson's Manchester United contributed a lot.All along, people are used to this old Scottish man chewing gum and sitting on the Manchester United coaching bench.Some people even think that Ferguson represents Manchester United. They don't need to know who the owner of Manchester United is, who the general manager is, or who the popular star of Manchester United is, but they have to know who the head coach of Manchester United is.

This giant has gone through ups and downs and ushered in their most glorious years in the Premier League era.Time passed, the lineup changed, and even the assistant coaches around him changed one after another. The only thing that remained the same was him.

He has witnessed the first year of the Premier League, he has also experienced the pain of being robbed of his love by Blackburn, he has experienced endless scolding and fighting with Wenger, and he has also been challenged by a Premier League novice like Mourinho.He has witnessed the acquisition of Murdoch and Manchester United, and also experienced the change of hands from Edwards to the Glazer family.He brought up the 8000 generation, he sent away Beckham himself, he brought up Cristiano Ronaldo, and he sold him to Real Madrid for [-] million pounds, he was right with everyone, but everyone They all respected him.

He is no longer a symbol of Manchester United, he has even become a landmark of the Premier League, leaving his indelible mark in the 30-year time scale of the Premier League.

Such an old man who had a profound influence on modern football and English football finally couldn't stand the grind of time and was about to leave.

When he said the above remarks at the press conference, his eyes were teary and his eyes were red.

Rarely have people seen Ferguson so emotional.

Even if he lost the championship to rival Liverpool in the league, he did not lose his composure.

In front of people, he is always the "bulldog" with his head held high, fighting with his own players, coaches of other teams, media reporters, bosses, the FA, and UEFA. ".

People even forget that Ferguson is also human and can cry.

Perhaps stimulated by Ferguson's announcement of his retirement decision, the already declining Manchester United team is still very strong this season.They are currently ranked third with [-] points.However, it is not far from second place Chelsea, only two points away.

It's just that Liverpool is too strong, which makes this Manchester United team seem to be defeated. In fact, their strength is still very strong, at least in English football. If there is no Liverpool, they must still have a dominant position.

As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are good.

Although Ferguson is not going to die, but the situation is similar, they are all about to leave.When many people want to leave, they will choose to say a lot of nice words.For example, if a player is about to retire, he will thank many people, even his former opponents.

Ferguson has made countless enemies in his coaching career. It stands to reason that he should keep a low profile in the last season and send more blessings and praises to his opponents.This is the image of a kind old man.

But Ferguson seems to have no interest in this image at all.

Before the game against Liverpool, his big mouth started to spray again.

"Yes, I will retire this season. But the war between us and Liverpool will continue, it will not slow down with my retirement... Will we make peace with Liverpool? No, never. Won't!"

"The hero is very good? I don't think he just arrived in an environment that suits him. I don't envy Liverpool at all. In my opinion, we can win the championship without him. Football is not alone. The game, football is a whole..."

"Martin O'Neill? I wouldn't buy him a drink after a game. Absolutely. I don't have a problem with him as a person but when he's Liverpool manager I don't like him."

Ferguson talked eloquently at the press conference before the game, and he went crazy about his views on Liverpool, Martin O'Neill, and Chen Yingxiong.

Of course, it's not a good word.

In fact, this is normal, like last season, like last season, like any previous season.

It's always like that between Liverpool and Manchester United.

But in this season, everyone feels strange-this is the last season, does it make sense for Ferguson to still do this?

"I just want to tell my players that this season is no different from any previous season, don't let me affect their state. So, I have to make this game look like any previous game. .” Ferguson said to assistant coach Whelan who had the same doubts.

※ ※ ※

Now that Ferguson has made a provocation, will Liverpool show mercy because Ferguson is about to retire?

of course not.

Chen Yingxiong has always believed that going all out is the greatest respect for the opponent.

Ferguson is an old coach worthy of respect, in order to express his respect, in order to let him have no regrets in the last season of his career...of course he has to show his best side-this kind of thought will definitely make a lot of tears Flowing all over your face?
Based on this principle, Chen Yingxiong responded very harshly and mercilessly to Ferguson's provocation.

"Only the weak and the guilty will chatter before this game. Talking so much nonsense, like we never do, we will just use the actual game to take over and slap each other!"

Chen Yingxiong's counterattack caused him criticism and dissatisfaction from many Manchester United fans.They think that Ferguson is about to retire, so what's the point of you trying to talk to him like this?
Some Manchester United fans went to Chen Yingxiong's Twitter to question him: "Why don't you just let Sir Alex win once?"

Chen Yingxiong's response also aroused the indignation of Manchester United players. They also believed that Chen Yingxiong lacked respect for the coach Ferguson who was about to retire.

This aroused their fighting spirit.

Ferguson, on the other hand, watched coldly from the sidelines, watching Chen Yingxiong successfully arouse the fighting spirit of his players, and then he smiled.

No one would know that it was actually Ferguson's plan to start the war and let Chen Yingxiong taunt him to his heart's content.

This national derby is at their own home court, and a good home atmosphere will help their team's performance.

Then if your own players fight the enemy bravely, they may not be able to beat Liverpool at home.

Now it seems that his plan is going smoothly...

※ ※ ※

When Chen Yingxiong followed the players into the arena, he noticed that there were many slogans with his name on the stage.

These slogans are not to cheer him up, but to scold him.

Manchester United fans gave full play to their ingenuity and scolded Chen Yingxiong in different ways.

Chen Yingxiong has long been familiar with this.

If the scolding of the fans could make him not in ideal form, he would have been out of form long ago and disappeared from international football.

He didn't take the boos from the fans to heart.

But after the game started, he found that the situation was different from before.

This time Manchester United is quite tenacious and very difficult to deal with at home.

In the No.204 minute of the first half, Chen Yingxiong scored a goal for Liverpool. Like any previous game, they took the lead.

It stands to reason that the rhythm of this game should fall into their hands, and Manchester United can only be led by the nose by Liverpool.

But the reality is completely different.

Just 5 minutes after Liverpool's goal, Manchester United equalized the score.It was Rooney who scored.

The number one star of Manchester United held back the figure of Manchester United falling into the abyss.

But after all, Liverpool's overall strength is stronger than Manchester United, so they took the lead again before the end of the first half. This time, it was Gareth Bale who scored the goal.

But the voices cheering for Manchester United from the stands did not stop for a moment.

Perhaps it was because this was Ferguson's last national derby at Old Trafford, so the fans in the stands were particularly enthusiastic.

With their encouragement, Manchester United performed very well.

Even though Liverpool are already ahead, they still feel tremendous pressure, which was passed on to them by the tenacious Manchester United players.
