Chapter 336 The Worst Team
Losing to Manchester City 0-1, Manchester United created the worst start in club history.Although Ferguson was not in a good mood, he still did not criticize any players after the game.Instead, he praised his players in the post-match press conference.

"There is nothing wrong with their performance! They have not been able to win, it can only be said that luck is not on our side!"

Unbeaten in three rounds, Manchester United is 7 points behind the leader Manchester City. When Ferguson was asked whether he could defend the title, Ferguson still firmly expressed his ambition.

"Yes, we started a little bit slower, but the league is a long process. We have a strong squad and we have a solid capital to recover every point!"

The sonorous and powerful words shook the hearts of everyone present.

This is domineering, the heroic spirit emanating from a king.

Even Eriksson, who led the team to win three consecutive victories, was a little bit flustered. After listening to Ferguson's words, his smiling face frowned.

Yes, Manchester United has strong capital.The depth of the bench is enough for them to deal with the third line or even the fourth line.But what about them?Although it has received capital injection, a group of outstanding players have been introduced in the summer signings, and the strength of the team has been improved.But this is only on the surface.They have a group of good main players, but the long league cannot rely on eleven players to play games.No one can guarantee that every game in such a long and intensive Premier League will be in excellent condition.

"It seems that the team needs to be strengthened in winter!"

Although the summer window is not over yet, the boss is deeply involved in the political vortex, and it is impossible to ask for more investment. He has to wait until the winter transfer period to see if he can catch some big fish.

Eriksson, who was frowning and thinking, did not react until the reporter asked three consecutive questions.

"cough……"

After coughing to relieve his embarrassment, Eriksson looked at the reporter with a smile on his face.

The reporter looked at Eriksson's appearance and knew that Eriksson hadn't heard his question clearly. Although this was a very impolite behavior, the reporter said it again very patiently, "What is it to beat Manchester United?" How do you feel?"

"It's a wonderful feeling! I enjoy this feeling very much, I believe Manchester City people like this feeling, and I hope it can continue!"

Eriksson is a winner and he has to look like a winner.

"Three consecutive victories, as the only team in the Premier League that has not conceded a goal, does it have a higher goal this season? For example, the league championship!"

Conceded 0 goals in three games, especially against a team like Manchester United, Eriksson can indeed be proud.But three games are not enough to test a team's combat effectiveness, especially in such a long league.So the real test is yet to come, and Eriksson is well aware of this. Even though he was a little flustered, he still answered the reporter's question very calmly.

"There is no higher goal. Our goal is to qualify for the European Championship. We have such strength. As for the league championship, it may not be particularly far away for us, but at present we do not have such strength to fight for it!"

"So is it possible to overtake Manchester United this season?"

Although Ferguson's words shook people's hearts, no one thought that Ferguson was boasting there, but there were still many people on the scene who believed that such a poorly-formed Manchester United could not complete the defense.

Eriksson thinks so too.

In fact, it's not just Eriksson, it seems that the entire English media thinks so.They may be very happy to see Manchester United deflated, and almost all the media are there to sing bad words about Manchester United.

"Change of the Red Dynasty!" was the headline in the Liverpool Echo.Columnist David Prentiss believes that Manchester United is about to fall, and Liverpool, which has been injected with funds, will rise with it.Just as the rise of Manchester United is accompanied by the decline of Liverpool.

The London Evening Standard columnist Ken Dale believes that the championship belongs to the Blues.Although Chelsea did not invest much in the summer, the team is still built according to Mourinho's philosophy, and the team lineup is improving day by day.He believes that under the leadership of Mourinho, the Blues will definitely continue to be brilliant.

The Daily Mirror, the Daily Mail, the Daily Telegraph, the Independent, etc., all the major media are there to speak ill of Manchester United.It seems that in order to cooperate with the media, after the end of the Manchester Derby, the major European bookmakers immediately adjusted the odds of winning the Premier League. Manchester City, which has won three consecutive victories, tied for fourth.

For Manchester United, this is a naked humiliation.

"Tell them with actions, who we are! Tell them with victories, we can do it! Tell them with championships, what is Manchester United!"

Before the Tottenham game, Ferguson roared angrily in the dressing room.

Not because they lost the Manchester Derby, they not only lost the Manchester Derby, but also lost by a big score.Not to mention that it's not because of the bad-mouthing of the media, the virtues of the media, Ferguson may not know.The reason for his anger was the cynicism of Tottenham manager Martin Jol.

Martin Jol's Tottenham have maintained a very strong competitiveness in the past two seasons, not only qualified for the European war, but also broke into the quarter-finals in the UEFA Cup.However, they have encountered the same problems as Manchester United in the new season, and the team's record is not good.In addition, the club itself has a higher pursuit, and the mere European qualifications can no longer satisfy Tottenham's appetite, so they have already developed the idea of ​​​​changing coaches.

Originally, the two-game losing streak was the best time, but because a suitable head coach was not contacted, it was postponed for a while.Unexpectedly, in the third round, Tottenham rebounded and defeated the newly promoted Derby County 4-0, saving Martin Jol's career and successfully renewing his life.

The internal pressure has been relieved. Martin Jol is in a good mood, and he also answered everything at the pre-match press conference. When the reporters asked which team performed the worst this season, he said without hesitation Out of Manchester United.

Of course, judging from the current ranking, Martin Jol is right.

But this sentence angered Ferguson.

A simple sentence cannot anger the wily Ferguson.It's just that after spending a lot of money on signings, poor season performance, losing the same city derby, bad news from the media, etc., all the unhappiness accumulated together, and people with deep thoughts also need to vent.

And what Martin Jol said was just an excuse to vent.
