Chapter 172
For the rest of the first half, Liverpool did not dare to attack fiercely, but sought balance, because Benitez also knew that if it was 0-2, it would really be impossible to catch up.

In this way, Manchester United ended the first half 1-0, and Liverpool players left the field quickly.

Ferguson came to the locker room, but he didn't see Keane, and asked, "Where's Roy?"

The staff said timidly, "Roy drove away."

As soon as the words came out, Ferguson almost exploded.

"Driving away?"

"Ah."

Ferguson was keenly aware that something might happen, so he called his assistant ahead of time, asked him to go to Keane, told him the seriousness of the matter, and if he still wanted to play in the Premier League, he would come back immediately.

It has to be said that Keane's red card in the first half was a turning point, and Manchester United's momentum has gone wrong since then.

Keane may have intended to give Alonso a taste of the Premier League, but he did not expect the referee to be particularly strict.

Clap clap clap.

Ferguson patted his hands heavily, "Cheer me up."

"Yes, head."

"We have one less player now, but it's okay. There have been many such situations in Manchester United's history. We can still beat our opponents."

Ferguson patted O'Shea, "You should be fine."

O'Shea nodded, but it was really difficult for him to intercept the entire midfield by himself, but he could only bite the bullet and nod.

Ferguson patted Fanny again, "Don't worry, don't worry."

Ferguson felt that Van Nistelrooy was capable, but he was too anxious, and this caused a bad relationship between him and his teammates.

"We can't concede a goal in the first 15 minutes of the second half, and then we will try to score another one."

After the arrangement, Ferguson left. He still paid attention to Keane's affairs. In a gossip country like Britain, this matter will soon become news.

The assistant looked helpless, indicating that Keane had arrived home.

"Give me the phone and I'll call him directly."

The phone rang a few times, and Keane picked up the phone. If there was anyone in this world he was a little afraid of, it must be Ferguson.

"head."

"Get out of here right now."

"Head, I'm already home."

"..."

Ferguson was furious.

"Then you listen clearly to me, don't accept interviews from reporters, even if they provoke you, shut up."

"Did you hear that?"

Keane was a little scared, and said repeatedly: "Okay, I understand, I will stay at home."

Sure enough, as Ferguson expected, reporters soon flocked to him. They hoped that Keane's big mouth could give him more news.

Here Ferguson is dealing with Keane, and Benitez is also actively arranging tactics. For the first time in his Liverpool career, Benitez certainly does not want to lose.

Why didn't the 442 formation become popular later?
That's because it is sometimes a waste to have two strikers in front, it is better to have a retreat to form depth.

At this time, Benitez has already seen this, which is also the strength of a master tactician, so he arranged tactics for Baros and Cisse.

"Isn't that the front waist?"

It is traditionally believed that the person standing behind the striker is either No. 10 or No. 9 and a half, that is, the shadow striker, but Cisse and Baros are both center forwards and cannot play the midfielder.

Tactician Benitez can only explain to them that this is a new trend.

There really are no fixed positions in football in the future, and everyone needs to be good at several different positions.

After the explanation, Cisse and Barosh somewhat understood.

"do you understand?"

The two nodded.

"Only one person needs to be at the front at the same time."

Then Benitez patted Alonso. Benitez was very satisfied with the performance of the Spanish fellow. He can play with his brain. That is to say, Alonso has his own coaching attributes, and he can often see the same vision as the coach.

Li Qiao was restricted by Heinz, there was nothing he could do about it, and Benitez also knew how powerful Argentina was.

"Not bad." He encouraged.

The other is Gerrard, the soul of the team.

Gerrard was the most active runner in the first half, and for him, Benitez had nothing to say.

For the two central defenders-Hypia and Carragher, Benitez has something to say. Compared with the opponent's two central defenders, his central defender is a bit too conservative.

Every time the opponent got a free kick, the central defender rushed forward, and the opponent's goal in the first half was also scored by Sylvester.

"When our side gets a corner kick, at least one of you will take it."

"Ah."

At this moment, the reporters on the scene had already obtained news about Keane, and it was even reported that Ferguson and Keane had a falling out.

Since Beckham's incident, Manchester United's dressing room has become very sensitive, and this is what the fans are most worried about. In the end, Beckham had to leave, because it is impossible for those who disobeyed Ferguson at Manchester United to stay.

Martin Taylor said: "I heard that Roy has gone home. This is a very bad signal. Manchester United must maintain discipline."

Ferguson came out of the tunnel with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.

But he knows, everyone should know, so he can only win the game, and it may be easier after the game. If he loses, then this matter will be worse.

Although the big boss of Manchester United is Ferguson, the real boss is actually the fans, which Ferguson knows very well.

There was a huge booing, needless to say, that Liverpool players came on the field. Just after coming out of the closed player channel, the huge boos will inevitably make people's eardrums uncomfortable.

Ferguson carefully observed Liverpool's side, counting the number of people, it was the same people in the first half, and Benitez did not make a substitution at the beginning of the second half.

Ferguson is more afraid of Riise and Harman. These two are tough and more suitable for the rhythm of the Premier League.

And Alonso?

After Veron, Ferguson didn't like these technical players very much. It seems that it is difficult for such players to adapt to the Premier League.

But in fact, technical players can also play in the Premier League, but it is really difficult to adapt to Manchester United. Thinking about what happened to Veron, Forlan, and Mata at Manchester United, you will feel that Manchester United does not seem to have this style.

Benitez is also watching Manchester United, no substitutions, but Alan Smith has been warming up and running, as if he may play at any time.

Alan is that tough guy type of player, the type that Ferguson particularly likes, and he patted Alan ready to play at any time, and then returned to the bench.

Players from both sides stand still, the game is about to start, the referee is actually not easy, he knows that the double red game has always been the most intense game.

Sometimes red and yellow cards are flying all over the sky.
