Football irons are burning

Chapter 274 Ferguson's Move

With the end of the leagues of various countries, the focus of the media is on Glasgow.

The 01-02 UEFA Champions League final will be held here.

Inter Milan and Leverkusen have also arrived here one after another for adaptive training.

Scotland is a beautiful island country, and the environment here is also good. When Li Tie came here, he also thought it was pretty good, and it was quite romantic.

Occasionally seeing some men in skirts is really a bit hilarious, but after getting used to it, I think it is a good custom.

On the Inter Milan training ground, the Inter Milan players also knew the news that Li Tie was leaving, and they were all a little sad at the moment.

However, after Li Tie left, many players still have ideas about who will be the boss of Inter Milan.

Among them, Materazzi and Pirlo have the greatest hopes. They are the two most prestigious in the local gang.

Among foreign players, only Zanetti has more prestige. In another time and space, Zanetti is the captain of Inter Milan.

Veteran Di Canio is also more active in training, he still hopes to earn some money, he is the oldest.

Lippi also frowned on the sidelines. He was also considering a contract with Inter Milan. After Li Tie left, although the team's strength is still good, it may not be okay if it wants to continue to compete for the Champions League.

Now the Italian Football Association is communicating with Lippi's agent, intending to hire Lippi as the head coach of the Italian national team after this year's World Cup. Lippi also thinks this position is a good choice.

At the club, he has already won all the honors, and challenging the honor of the national team is also something he really wants to do. Of course, he will have to wait until after the World Cup before making a decision.

Once he goes to the national team, Moratti will definitely let him go.

On the sidelines, some Inter Milan fans were watching the team's training, and they put up a banner: Li Tie stay, we need you!

This made Li Tie afraid to look at it too much. After training for a while, he left the training ground with an excuse.

Back at the hotel under the tower, Li Tie saw Ferguson unexpectedly.

"Sir, you?" Li Tie asked in a daze.

Ferguson said with a smile: "Of course I'm here to give you a tip. We have played against Leverkusen. I know some of their weaknesses."

Li Tie hurriedly said, "Then please go upstairs."

Upstairs, Li Tie made a cup of tea for Ferguson, and the two sat down to drink and chat.

"How is it? It's hard for Inter Milan fans, isn't it?" Ferguson knew what Li Tie was thinking, so he said.

Li Tie sighed and said, "Yeah, after all, in the past three years, where I won everything, I am very clear about their feelings for me."

Ferguson said: "Professional players, you have to take your feelings lightly. You have just reached the peak of your career. If you are always indecisive, it will affect your participation in the World Cup. You don't want to miss the World Cup championship, right?"

Li Tie nodded and said: "Sir, you are right. I am just sad for a while. Don't worry, I will bring the same honor to Manchester United in the future."

Ferguson said with satisfaction: "That's right. Alright, kid, let's talk about Leverkusen."

Ferguson then discussed the Leverkusen situation with Li Tie.

This season, Leverkusen used Ballack's strong control in the midfield to drive the two sides very well. The state of Ze Roberto and Basturk is also very good.

And Qu Hanqing, who was poached from Frankfurt during the winter break, is also very useful. The striker formed by him and Neuville is very powerful. Both of them are very flexible, making it difficult for opponents to defend.

In particular, his cutting speed is very fast, and it is difficult for ordinary teams to trap him.

Of course, Li Tie has a solution, which is to directly remove Qu Hanqing from the second perspective, but this is a bit despicable, and it is a violation of his original intention.

"No matter what, you have to guard Ballack and prevent him from splitting the ball in the middle. Focus on Qu Hanqing. He is basically the terminator of the offense. Other players are playing for him. On offense, play more behind Nowotny. He is indeed old and slow to react!"

Ferguson finally said.

Li Tie smiled and said, "Sir, you are old enough to see so clearly. Actually, I know Barak, he will definitely fight me hard, and I will lock him firmly in the middle lane, so that there will be problems with their mid lane scheduling."

"You want to use psychological warfare again?" Ferguson asked with great interest.

Li Tie laughed and said, "Sir, although we haven't worked together yet, I feel that you know me very well, don't you?"

"Haha, you kid, I don't know what's wrong with you? But you focus on defense, and on offense, you may have to work harder. Whether your teammates can create scoring opportunities is not certain." Ferguson said.

Li Tie said: "I don't worry about it. Our crosses from the two sides are very accurate. Andy Lau's fulcrum effect is very obvious. He can not only shoot for himself, but also create opportunities for his teammates. If there is no such black big man, Inter Milan will not be able to reach their current achievements. Originally, I wanted to take him to Manchester United. !"

"That's really worth looking forward to. It's great. The legacy of the Manchester United team can continue!" Ferguson became more and more happy as they chatted. The two chatted for several hours.

Finally, Ferguson asked Li Tie's requirements for Manchester United, such as players, who Li Tie hoped to introduce.

It can be seen that Ferguson attaches great importance to Li Tie, otherwise, how could he still ask him about this kind of matter?
Li Tie thought about it carefully. In fact, the current group of Manchester United players are still at their peak, and their strength is not weak.

Scholes, Giggs, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Yang Cheng, Essien, Stam, Gary Neville, etc., these are some powerful players.

If we have to talk about weaknesses, then the position of the goalkeeper should need to be strengthened.

The nickname of Butters is not flattering, and Bosnich is not a top goalkeeper.

There is no doubt that Cech is definitely the best candidate, but if you want to buy Cech, it is estimated that you will have to spend more than 5000 million pounds.

Although Manchester United is a top club, it is estimated that it is still a bit difficult to spend hundreds of millions of pounds in a season.

After thinking about it carefully, Li Tie suddenly thought of someone!
"Sir, if you are free, you can ask someone to go to Germany. There is a young goalkeeper named Neuer. He should be good. He is still very young and has no chance to play in the Bundesliga. He can be trained in the Premier League!"

Li Tie said.

Neuer, the future goalkeeper, he created a brand new style of play, interpreting the goalkeeper's breakthrough reform, that is the goalkeeper!
In another time and space, Neuer, as a goalkeeper, fully shouldered the dual responsibilities of goalkeeper and defender. He often came out to serve as the team's defender. Moreover, his skills were quite good, and he once had a great deal of headers near the center circle.

Once this kind of goalkeeper is cultivated, it will be the wealth of Manchester United.

Ferguson said with a smile: "Li, it is said that none of the players you brought to the team were wrong. I believe you. Well, next season, you will see this young man."

On May 5, the Champions League final officially started.

The lineups of both sides are worth close to one billion!

For Inter Milan, Petr Cech continued to guard the goal, three defenders Materazzi, Lucio and Barzagli, five midfielders Li Tie, Assuncao, Maicon, Panucci and Deisler.

For Leverkusen, the strikers are still Qu Hanqing and Neuville, Basturk's midfielder, Ballack and Ramello's double midfielder, Ze Roberto and Sebetzen on both sides, three defenders Nowotny, Zivkovic and Placent, and goalkeeper Hildebrand, which they bought from Stuttgart for 2500 million euros this season.

After the game started, Inter Milan kicked off first.

After several passes, the ball reached Li Tie's feet.

Ramello immediately pushed behind Li Tie. This guy has always had opinions on Li Tie. Back then in the Bundesliga, the two had a relatively serious grievance.

Therefore, Lamelo's movements are also very big, kicking Li Tie directly.

Li Tie turned his foot, and the opponent kicked in the air. However, Li Tie's turn was also blocked by Ballack, so he had to hit Maicon on the side.

Maicon and Ze Roberto singled out, using speed to try to overpower the opponent, but Ze Roberto intercepted the ball. This guy is also very fast. Maicon was a little careless this time.

He then received a yellow card for bringing Ze Roberto down with a kick behind his back.

This start is a bit unfavorable.

A few minutes later, Di Canio also kicked Novotny in a counter-attack and also received a yellow card.

Seeing this, Li Tie hurriedly told his teammates face-to-face instructions to calm them down and use the cooperation between the teams to complete the tactical coordination, so that the high-position press became more reasonable.

In this way, the team really calmed down quickly, and began to pay attention to each other's running and filling positions, and continued to put pressure on Leverkusen.

In the 14th minute, Ballack got the ball and was double-teamed. His hasty pass was intercepted by Li Tie, and then he made a long pass.

Drogba struggled to head the ball, Di Canio took the ball and dunked it, then swiped horizontally, volleyed with his left foot, and the ball crashed into the net, 1:0!

Di Canio happily rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the goal, and he stripped off excitedly to celebrate. As a result, he got a second yellow card and was sent off!
Li Tie didn't react either. Seeing Di Canio go down in a daze, he hurriedly appealed to the referee Berg.

"Sir, this is the final, it's not good to break the balance on the field, right?" Li Tie said with a smile.

Berg took out a yellow card and warned Li Tie: "Haha, young man, this is the rule, there is no way to change it, I wish you good luck."

It was such a triumph, Di Canio broke the deadlock for the team, and then was sent off for a second yellow card.

Is this a hero or a sinner?Immediately after the game, there will be results.

Lippi was also a little confused on the sidelines, but fortunately, the team's defensive system is not a problem.

Therefore, he has no plans to change for the time being.
