i want to be king

Chapter 824
"The sky of the Premier League has changed color!"

At the post-match press conference at the Etihad Stadium, Ferguson did not show the anger and embarrassment expected by the outside world when he lost to Manchester City [-]-[-]. Instead, he gave people a feeling of acceptance.

The Scottish coach believes that Manchester City's strong rise is inevitable, and all Premier League teams aiming to hit the league championship must make full psychological preparations and plans for this.

"From now on, the competition in the Premier League will be fiercer than ever, because we have a team that is also capable of hitting the league title, and that is Manchester City. They are currently at the top of the standings and they deserve their name."

Ferguson believes that his team lost to Manchester City [-]-[-] away is not unacceptable.

"In fact, you have to see that Chelsea suffered a disastrous defeat here, and Arsenal also suffered misfortune. Although the final game was a draw, it was worse than a loss. Even though they had one more player than their opponents throughout the game, they still failed to score against Manchester City. This is unacceptable to any team."

Ferguson can be regarded as opening a map gun, and the media reporters on the scene were all very excited.

Nima, it's been a long time since I saw the hair dryer start!

Once Ferguson turns on the talk mode, it will definitely be a festival for the British media!

So, all the media reporters at the scene were just like elementary school students, sitting upright in their seats, holding pens and small notebooks, and listening attentively to the next bombardment of the Scottish red-nosed old man.

Sure enough, Ferguson knew exactly what these media reporters were thinking. To a certain extent, he and these media reporters were using each other. He needed to use the media to spark debates to divert conflicts, while the media needed to use Ferguson's rhetoric to attract attention and promote sales.

Ferguson directly bombarded several other competitors. Anyway, in summary, there is one meaning: Manchester United only lost one goal at the Etihad Stadium, which is actually very impressive.

What the media reporters care about is not how many goals Manchester United loses and how many goals they win, but Ferguson bombards the competitors themselves.

When this piece of news came out, it was the biggest concern in itself.

In contrast, Ferguson's attitude towards tonight's rival Manchester City, who won tonight, is even more interesting.

He has been boasting about Manchester City.

Of course, this is not surprising.

If Ferguson wants to talk about his Manchester United and his pen, he can only praise Manchester City. Conversely, if he blindly belittles Manchester City, what about Manchester United who lost to Manchester City?

Therefore, after losing the game, Ferguson could only praise Manchester City, and then told the Manchester United players that they were already very good. In other words, it was not that Manchester United was too weak, but that Manchester City was too strong.

Then why is Manchester City strong?

Because they have a sotong!
"I knew Su Dong many, many years ago. At that time, he was still a rookie. I felt that this kid had great potential, but I never imagined that he would be able to achieve what he is today. Otherwise, I would definitely bring him to Manchester United, even if I was selling everything."

Ferguson admitted that Manchester United actually had the opportunity to sign Su Dong, but because of some things in the team, they hesitated in the transfer. "I always feel that this will be a very regrettable thing."

For Su Dong's achievements, Ferguson is very sure. He believes that Su Dong will create a new era for him in the Premier League, and even have the opportunity to lead Manchester City to success.

"There is no doubt about it. He is a natural king. No matter which team or league he is in, he can bring the team victory and championships. Just like in Manchester City this season, he helped Manchester City defeat many powerful enemies one after another. This is very incredible, but he did it."

But in the end, Ferguson also believed that it would be unrealistic for Manchester City to want to win the Premier League if they only rely on Su Dong, because the competition in the Premier League is very fierce, and it is by no means that only one player can last the whole season.

"I think City have to do a lot more if they want to win the title."

……

Although Ferguson praised Su Dong and Manchester City in the post-match press conference, Su Dong, as the captain of the team, participated in the Manchester Derby for the first time. When he was interviewed by the media after the game, he did not show mercy to the old Scottish man.

"We still need to do more?" When the media repeated Ferguson's words at the post-match press conference to Su Dong, he smiled and expressed his approval, "I think what he said is right, we really need to do more, and we still have a very large potential that has not been tapped, which is very important for our next game."

Is Su Dong agreeing with Ferguson?
Just when the media was stunned, Su Dong quickly changed the subject.

"Of course, I think Manchester United still needs to do a lot more than us, because after this round of games, they are already nine points behind us, and they have to work harder to catch up with this gap!"

The media reporters were immediately overjoyed.

Take the bamboo shoots!
You took all the bamboo shoots from the European Alps and brought them to the British Isles!
Isn't this an obvious sarcasm for Ferguson and his Manchester United?
The media reporters immediately chased Su Dong to ask, hoping that he could say more and break more news. It would be better to criticize Ferguson directly and bicker with that Scottish red-nosed old man, that would be enjoyable.

But Su Dong accepted as soon as he saw it, and didn't intend to compete with Ferguson.

Many media reporters and fans don’t know that Sudong and Ferguson have a very good personal relationship. As early as that year, Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney had a falling out in the World Cup. When they were about to leave Manchester United, they hid in Sudong’s villa. The meeting that Ferguson persuaded Ronnie to change his mind was entrusted to Sudong to arrange.

Since then, the relationship between Ferguson and Su Dong has been established, and Su Dong also respects Ferguson very much.

Of course, this does not prevent Su Dong from "bombarding" Ferguson in the media.

There is no way, the two are their masters.

……

Manchester City beat Manchester United [-]-[-] at home.

The news sparked a strong reaction from the British media after the game.

According to the remarks of the Daily Telegraph before the game, Manchester United is the last bastion of the traditional strong teams in the Premier League.

But unfortunately, this fortress was completely captured by Manchester City in the Manchester Derby.

The Guardian analyzed after the game that it would be fairer for this game to be zero to zero.

"At least before Su Dong came off the bench, the two teams were evenly matched, and even Manchester United had a slight upper hand. Several counterattacks were threatening, but after Su Dong came off the bench, he completely changed the situation on the field."

According to the analysis of the Guardian, Su Dong once again proved his worth to everyone.

"He once again proved that Manchester City with Sudong is the real leader of the Premier League. Without Sudong, Manchester City can only strive for the top four in the league, but now, they are at the top of the standings."

……

The Daily Mail even used "The King of Manchester City" as the headline on the front page, and published a photo of Su Dong's shot, thinking that Su Dong's shot opened the way for Manchester City to secure the league leadership.

"After tonight, Manchester's skies will be sky blue!"

The Daily Mail still highly affirmed Manchester City's victory, especially the team's defense throughout the game, which completely froze Manchester United's offensive combination. Even after Ferguson made adjustments and let Nani play, there was still no change.

"The central defender combination of Pepe and Kompany has become the most unbreakable defensive combination in the Premier League this season."

"If Su Dong is in charge of attacking in the frontcourt, and David Silva, Toni Kroos and Busquets are in charge of strategizing in the midfield, then Pepe and Kompany's impregnable defensive line together form Manchester City this season, helping Manchester City repeatedly overcome strong enemies and firmly occupy the throne of the Premier League leader."

The Daily Mail believes that after defeating Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United successively, the gold content of Manchester City, the leader, is very high, and it can even be said that it has established a certain leading edge.

However, the reporter of the Daily Mail also agreed with what Ferguson said in the post-match press conference that it is too early to say that Manchester City wants to win the championship, because the real test of the Premier League always appears in the Christmas and winter break schedule.

"Only after Manchester City can continue to maintain their lead after surviving the devil's schedule during Christmas and the winter break, can this team be truly qualified to hit the Premier League championship, otherwise, it is only a temporary lead."

The Daily Mail stated that this is not their family’s words, but the real situation that has been verified by the Premier League for so many years, because there are always too many teams that perform very well before Christmas, but after the winter break, their rankings plummeted. The reason is that they cannot survive the test of Christmas and the winter break.

And this is also the traditional schedule of the Premier League.

When other leagues are on vacation, all players are staying at home, and wives and daughters-in-law are hot, the Premier League has to keep playing in the ice and snow. This is the biggest test and challenge for professional players.

"Only after going through the experience of that hellish devil's schedule, can this team be considered a real strong team!"

Everyone knows that the Premier League schedule has always been controversial.

Fans who like it believe that the Premier League is the league that professional players should conquer. The game style is full of passion and the schedule is full of tests; but fans who hate it think that the Christmas and winter break schedule is very inhumane, and the pressure on both the players and the team is too great.

Even Ferguson and others believe that the Premier League teams lack competitiveness in the European arena. One of the important reasons is Christmas and winter break.

Of course, no one can deny that from a commercial point of view, the Christmas schedule is indeed the biggest feature of the Premier League.

When other leagues ushered in a holiday truce, the Premier League ushered in the most intensive devil's schedule, delivering a sumptuous Christmas feast to fans all over the world. Who doesn't like such a league?
