Chapter 402 The face is completely torn

The League Cup is the first event of the season to determine the championship. Although it is not as long-standing as the FA Cup, it is only a training ground for most Premier League teams, but it is also a championship after all.

Nearly one month before the start of the finals, many media have already started to hype.

Because the Premier League duo entered the finals, the hype of the finals by many media this season is obviously much greater.

If the gap between the two teams entering the finals is too large, it will be impossible to start hype because there is no topicality.

There is no shortage of topics between Manchester United and Arsenal.

And there are many similarities between the two teams, a head coach with a distinctive style, two lineups, many stars, and energetic young people.

Judging from the current record, Manchester United and Arsenal can meet at least twice this season, with one game in the League Cup final and one game in the league.One of the two games determines the championship, and one game heralds the direction of the season.

The current state of both sides is very good, and they have been going smoothly in all competitions.If they can continue their current form in the FA Cup, they may be able to slam at Wembley once.

Seeing this, many people realize that this season may have extraordinary significance in the history of the Premier League. The veteran champion Manchester United wants to continue its dominance, while the upstart Arsenal urgently needs to overthrow the "ruler" and establish a new order.

In the first two seasons, Arsenal did not reach the strength of a showdown with Manchester United, but with Wenger's adjustment and the club's high-quality signings, Arsenal is ready to turn the table and challenge Manchester United.

Just as the various media were accumulating energy and preparing to slowly lay the groundwork, and when the final was about to start, Ferguson and Wenger had already had an unhappiness in the media, and the two could not calmly face their opponents.

When United knocked out Chelsea in the semi-finals, Ferguson was asked if he would stick with that squad for the final.

This question is the most standard foreshadowing, because both the media and the two clubs can use this topic to hype a lot of content.

Although everyone feels that Ferguson will eventually send the main lineup to play in the final, they are still very concerned about this issue.

If Ferguson said to play with a rotation lineup, but ended up breaking his promise, it would be a hype point.

If Ferguson insists on using the rotation lineup and loses to Arsenal in the end, it will be another hype point.Facing a decisive victory in an event, many people will not hesitate to use the main lineup. Isn't the championship trophy fragrant?
With Ferguson as a victorious head coach, every choice must be based on the interests of the club, so playing with the strongest lineup is not a difficult decision.

But unexpectedly, Ferguson stated without hesitation that he would use the rotation lineup: "Since they entered the final, they should be allowed to participate in the final, which is fair."

Ferguson's answer was very firm, which greatly exceeded the expectations of the media.

British football in the 90s was still in a relatively conservative atmosphere, and the attitude of the entire football world towards football was to take every game seriously.

People still can't understand Ferguson's decision to focus on the league and the Champions League, and to rest the main players in the League Cup and Football Cup. How can they figure out that he will send a rotation lineup in the final.

It can only be said that Ferguson's thinking is a bit advanced, completely beyond the scope of everyone's comprehension.

A few years later in the parallel world, Wenger made it all the way to the final with a substitute and rotation lineup. When he decided to use this lineup against Chelsea, which was armed to the teeth, it still caused heated discussions in the media.

Old John gave Beckham popular science about these things, but he did not expect the old man to come up with this set in advance. This point of view is really beyond the times.

A few years later, when the League Cup became a paradise for youth players to show their talents, everyone didn't think there was anything wrong.

But when things just happened, the resistance encountered will surprise future generations.

It is human instinct to prevent change, and it takes far more time to overcome the instinct than to obey it.

Faced with Ferguson's decision, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger was the first to stand up and support: "I support Alex's decision. This kind of game can give the main players a rest and give young players a lot of exercise. When we look back at these games, we will find that the performance of the rotation players and young people is very active, and the excitement of the game has not declined.

Young people need to exercise. We have to give them opportunities and let them experience professional football. The League Cup is of great significance to them.

English professional teams play more games than other leagues every year. An ambitious team should learn to use different games to achieve different purposes.

Of course, this is not the same as a passive game, we have to send players who give everything to win. "

This wave of speeches by the French surprised everyone again. The final is coming soon. Is it okay to give a platform to competitors?
Things have developed to this point, and many media are somewhat disdainful of Arsenal's tall head coach.

A true fighter should be fearless, and die on the way to the charge. What's the matter with pleasing the opponent before the game starts?

"The Sun" sighed bitterly, a real man can't be soft at critical moments!
A reporter asked Ferguson's opinion with great interest, and the Manchester United coach sneered: "Then Mr. Arsene will send young players in the final. I don't know if there is any problem with my understanding. You can check it for me."

The reporter found Wenger to give a message to Ferguson. The Arsenal coach said that he would consider using young players as appropriate. Since it is the final, the priority should be to win the championship.

Beckham witnessed the old man's reaction when he read the news in the newspaper on the training ground. Ferguson chewed his gum vigorously and crumpled the newspaper into a ball of paper: "He's out of his mind!"

In Ferguson's view, the French say these are the old man's splits, nonsense.

Only Beckham in this world knows the truth of the matter.

The reason why the French came out to stand for Ferguson at this time was entirely because the latter's words scratched his itch.

The idea coincides with each other!
But it is impossible for Wenger to recklessly put young players on the field at this time, because doing so would be a disease of the mind.

In the two or three years since he came to Arsenal, he asked the club for money to buy a lot of people for the purpose of transforming the team. This season is just the time to get results.

The purpose of reshaping the team is not simply to make the game look good, but to subvert Manchester United's dominance in England.

Now only results can prove the transformation effect of the past few years, and only the championship can make the board feel worthwhile.

As a professional manager, Wenger knows exactly what he should do.

So when he heard that Ferguson said he was hypocritical in the interview, he responded without hesitation: "The head coach has his own reasons for arranging troops. I have already said that I will fight for victory. I have clearly expressed my point of view. This is an aboveboard statement.

If he feels that he has no idea about sending out a rotation lineup, he can also send out the strongest lineup. The choice is in his hands, and there is no need to kidnap others morally! "

Seeing Wenger's response, even the media began to eat melons. Everyone did not expect the first question to make the two coaches fight each other in the air.

"Hypocrisy", "moral kidnapping", the wording should not be too sharp.

On January 1, Manchester United ushered in Liverpool in the fourth round of the Football Cup.

But this game did not get the attention it used to. The traffic was all on Ferguson and Wenger. The two had to fight each other at least two rounds a week, and their wording became more and more harsh.

Liverpool coach Evans's declaration of victory before the game fell into the sea, because on the same day, Ferguson said that the Frenchman is a close friend of the Arsenal vice-chairman.

Has the topic become so acute?
After a week's rest, Manchester United played with the main lineup. Shearer and Beckham scored penalties in the first and second half respectively. Manchester United finally defeated Liverpool 2-1 and successfully advanced to the fifth round.

After the game, the reporters are still concerned about the two heroes fighting each other in the air.

Wenger said in an interview that day that if he used his personal relationship to get the position of Arsenal's head coach, Ferguson simply introduced his son to the team in order to get Cruyff's support. Is this a PY deal?

His words made Ferguson almost swear, he didn't expect to meet a tough guy who dared to be tough with him!
The mutual confrontation between the two people continued, Liverpool was put aside and ignored, and some media bluntly said that the "Double Red Club" had faded.
