The most low-key superstar

Chapter 209 This old fox is not easy!

Before entering August, Manchester United played several games in a row. Most of the opponents they chose were League One or even League Two teams, not even the English Championship level, let alone the Premier League teams. The opponent chosen by the head coach Mr. Ferguson was strange, but due to his personality, Nickel did not try to understand the meaning of this aspect.

In the past few games, Nickle played very tired, as if his team was a low-level team and the opponent was a super-strong team. Manchester United only scored one draw in the four warm-up matches, and lost the rest of the games. The team's midfield commander, Nickel, felt a little overwhelmed. The most terrible thing was that his teammates were completely out of shape. Nickel saw it in his eyes and was anxious about it.

Soon, the results of Manchester United's warm-up were known by the reporters, and all kinds of remarks filled the major newspapers for a while.

"After Manchester United won the double crown, they let C Ronaldo go at a high price, which reduced Manchester United's attack power to an unbearable level. After a few personal matches, they only scored 3 goals, while their opponents have With 7 goals scored, Manchester United in the new season is worrying."

"The collective sleepwalking of the defending champion Manchester United has given the low-level teams a strong confidence in themselves. I believe that they will achieve better results than they expected on the road to the British Championship. At that time, they should be grateful Manchester United, it was Manchester United who opened the window to the world for them, and they will find a problem, and they can beat the European champions."

"In the new season, when all the clubs are waving checks to recruit suitable new players everywhere, as the new European champion Manchester United, after introducing a center forward Berbatov at a high price, it is a bit incomprehensible. We can't think that Sir Alex Ferguson doesn't know how to manage, but these games just show that Manchester United is not yet strong enough to ignore the opponent's situation."

…………..
Tomorrow, the team will gather to go to Switzerland to participate in a training camp held in Switzerland, but the consecutive losses, and the loss to such an opponent, has dealt a big blow to Manchester United's morale.

Nicole couldn't bear it anymore, but with his character, he wouldn't talk to the head coach. The last time was unprecedented, but it doesn't mean that Nicole didn't ask anyone. No, after Mr. Ferguson returned to the stadium Before, Nicole found Giggs, after all, he was the first captain.

"Ryan, I want to ask a question."

"Why, Nicole, what do you need my help for?" Giggs was sorting out his things. After all, he was going on an expedition, which would take about ten days, and he needed to bring a lot of things.

"Well, let's put it this way, Ryan, have you experienced this situation in the past few years? I feel that our team is far from the status of European champions, and we don't even know ourselves anymore." Speaking out my troubles made my heart feel much better.

"Hehe, Nicole, don't worry, I've already experienced it twice, it's what the old man did on purpose." Giggs laughed when he heard that.

"Deliberately, why did this happen? Why does the boss want to do this?" Nichol was very puzzled. Isn't this a blow to the enthusiasm of the players? Without morale, how can the team's performance be guaranteed.

"Nickel, you're young and you've experienced a lot. It's not just Manchester United. A lot of teams have downturns of one kind or another. The old man just wants to tell us with facts, 'Hey, look at it. Boys, this is the fucking European champion, the championship means losing, even if you lose against such an opponent, you are shit, now, give me a good training.'" Giggs imitated Mr. Ferguson, don't say When you learn it, it is very vivid, and there are some resemblances.

"But, how did he do it? I was on the court, and I could feel that everyone was working hard and didn't underestimate the opponent. At least I didn't, but it was..., as you said just now, I played like a bunch of dogs. Shit." Nichol was still a little puzzled, after all, he was on the court, so he wasn't lazy.

Giggs didn't answer right away. He turned his head and found that everyone didn't pay attention to their conversation, so he turned around and said in a low voice, "It's also very simple, Nichol, it's just that you didn't think seriously. Since the training camp At the beginning, everyone hardly touched the ball, did not have any tactical training, and did not have any specific tactical arrangements, and adjusted the positions of the players on the field randomly, Nichol, who do you think can win the game."

"Oh..." Nichol suddenly realized, and finally figured it out, "So that's it, this old fox is really not simple!"

"Nicole, who is the old fox?" A voice suddenly came from behind Nicole, and this familiar voice made Nichol froze for a moment, "It's nothing, sir, am I just kidding?"

"Hehe, it's okay, I heard everything, Nichol, you did a good job, except for that old fox." After Mr. Ferguson came, he found that Nichol and Giggs were whispering, and he came over with his childlike innocence. eavesdrop.

"Okay, everyone, stop what you're doing. I have a few words to tell you about the previous warm-up matches..." Mr. Ferguson's words were almost exactly the same as Giggs's, even some small gestures , Giggs also learned very well, if it wasn't for the shock of Nicole just now, he would have laughed out by now.

"You may have noticed that so many media think that our prospects for Manchester United this season are not optimistic. The best ending is to get tickets to Europe, that is, it is possible to enter the top six, and the Champions League, they don't consider us at all. , the big favorite is Inter Milan, as for defending the title, sorry, boys, no one thinks we are qualified to defend the title, do you agree?"

"disagree!"

"Shit, who is talking nonsense!"

"The champion must be ours."

"..."

The players seemed filled with righteous indignation, angered by the contempt of others, "Okay, then let's go, actually I don't believe what they say, but this needs to be reflected in your training."

Nicole secretly admired, 'Tall, really tall! '

------

However, Ferguson responded to the media before departure, "It is still too early to say whether we can defend the title, but no one can ignore Manchester United's determination. We have the ability and confidence. There may be some problems now, but we can solve them." .”

However, most media believe that Mr. Ferguson is still holding on. After all, Manchester United’s offensive power has dropped too much, and many players have left. The biggest loss is Ronaldo, who contributed more than 40 goals to the team last season. , now Manchester United has not been able to make up for the loss in this regard, and the midfielders are even more of a huge hidden danger.

During the training camp in Switzerland, the team focused on tactical training and tactical adjustments in the midfield. Nicole was asked to take on more responsibilities, and the suggestions made by Nicole were also taken out by Mr. Ferguson for many times. The effect is not obvious, but one game is better than the other.

Before returning to England, Manchester United played the last warm-up match with Hamburg from JCDecaux. Both sides paid more attention to this game, and they almost went all out. In order to really test the training effect, they even invited official referees.

Although Nickel did not score in this game, he organized Manchester United's midfield in an orderly manner, allowing Manchester United to firmly control the rhythm of the game. There was hardly any market ahead.

In the end, Manchester United won with three goals.

After returning to England, Manchester United played another game against the visiting Sunderland team at home. In this game, Nickle was on the bench and did not play. However, before the game, Mr. Ferguson specifically told Nick Well, you must carefully observe the progress of the game on the court.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester United's players seemed uncomfortable with the field, maybe because Old Trafford changed the grass seed in the summer, but they quickly took the initiative, especially Belba Tove's role became more and more obvious. With the cover of Brother Xiaosha, Rooney was also quite active. Giggs created several very threatening opportunities on the left. In the end, Manchester United defeated the opponent 2-0.

　These days I have been busy giving gifts to relatives. After all, it is a traditional festival. Everyone has a custom of reciprocating gifts. However, Wukong wants to talk about moon cakes, a seasonal food of the Chinese nation. Now it has completely changed its taste. Although it is very sweet in the mouth, Wukong feels bitter in his heart. This mooncake has really changed, not to mention the price of hundreds of dollars, even the meaning of the mooncake has changed. Mooncake is just a kind of food that symbolizes reunion. Now it is covered in the cloak of money. This society has lost too much of our traditions.
