Chapter 39 The Legendary European Arena
"Okay, today you should take a look at our other players, Fletcher, Anderson, Rooney, or Giggs and Scholes." Just when the reporters were about to find some more topics, Sir Alex Stop doing it, and the limit of the change of direction has played a role.

"Then today, when you replaced Scholes, it seemed to be much earlier than before. Did Scholes' performance make you dissatisfied?"

"Dissatisfied? No, no, I think you should look at the defenders. I thought one or two would be sent off, but the situation seems to be getting worse. Scholes is doing a good job. A player might cause a fight." Ferguson is not worried that the reporters will catch the main point, he deliberately diverted the topic, controversy?Will he experience less?
"Do you mean that today's referee's judgment is unfair?" Even though he knew he couldn't get an answer, the reporter asked, whether it was for professionalism or to get more tangible evidence.

"Is that so?" the old lord asked back without saying a word.

On the second day, the football media in the UK, Europe and the world more or less put the image of Mike Taylor on important pages, for example, the negative version comparable to the third edition in the UK.Take the front page of The Kicker, for example.

Will Manchester United return to the technical stream?
Body or technology?
When experience meets talent...

There were all kinds of messy titles, and some people even popped up: Mike Taylor was the grandson of Ferguson, but he didn't specify who the old Sir's daughter was.

Fortunately, these are acceptable, at least no one said that Mike was the illegitimate son of the old man.

It attracted the attention of the world before half the game. Mike's road seemed to be more promising than Thirteen's, but who let others be a midfielder and Thirteen was just a goalkeeper.

As a goalkeeper, no matter how good your saves are, no matter how long you have not conceded the ball, you will never have as much influence as a midfielder.

Just like another player who can be called a monster this week - Benayoun, this day he is called 'Kaminaga'.

Not many people paid attention to Foster who conceded three goals in a game. Although many reporters advertised themselves to prove Foster before the game, who cared about him after the game, even worse than the one who didn’t play Thirteen.

It's not that no one pays attention to the older and more demonic Ziggs, it's just that there is not much news to report about this old demon who has engraved this magic seal. People are already familiar with him, like stewed beef , the mouth is scattered, do not need too much chewing.

His free-kick shot seemed to be a focal point, after all for the old man it was his first free-kick in two years.Many people think that without Ronaldo, Manchester United will face a big flaw in free kicks; but now Manchester United's free kick tactics have many changes, whether it is Nani Rooney or Ryan Giggs In this way, maybe Manchester United's performance in free kicks will be better.

But Giggs just used one sentence: "I haven't played any free kick in the game for several years, and my feet are a little rusty. Today's ball can be regarded as a fool!"

He has said that, what else can the reporters do, a player who has almost no criticism other than the tabloid scandal is not something they can control.

~!@#$%^&*()_+
After the game against Tottenham, Manchester United did not rest. They had a holiday before, and in the middle of last week there was the first round of the Champions League group stage of the new season. Manchester United had to prepare.

Besiktas, a giant Turkish team, played at the Inonu Stadium in Türkiye.

Ferdinand was in his hands again, replaced by Evans, Gary Neville came on with the captain's armband and Nani replaced Giggs.

With Rooney as the single arrow, Manchester United's formation is 451.

Thirteen sat on the bench again, but what gave him a little comfort was that after his first appearance on behalf of Manchester United's first team, Mike, who was extremely sad at home, did not get the chance to go to Turkey.

Zhouche Laoton was a bit depressed for Shisan. The position of the goalkeeper on the football field is indeed different from other positions. The position of the midfielder can be changed, but the position of the goalkeeper basically cannot be changed in the game.

So Thirteen's first trip to the Champions League was not much better than Mike's.

"Hey, Thirteen, go behind the goal." Not long after the kick-off, when neither team had a shot, Ferguson suddenly turned around and said to Thirteen.

"Ah!" It's not that Shisan couldn't react. Standing behind the goal against Tottenham on the pitch was somewhat provocative to the referee, but now, it's neither a warm-up time nor a place to watch the game. Why do you have to go!

"Go, see how other people make saves, and pay more attention to the positioning." Obviously, Ferguson doesn't care whether the England Disciplinary Committee will impose additional penalties on Thirteen. , Why can’t you watch the football behind the goal? If you ask it directly, it’s just a warm-up. On the contrary, goalkeepers, especially young goalkeepers, really feel a lot more in that place than in other places. "Don't touch the football, you are not a ball boy, you just look at it wherever you are."

Who said that Ferguson didn't pay attention to Thirteen anymore, it's just that the old man's approach is really confusing. It's like two days ago that he said he would give Mike a chance, but he didn't bring it this time.

"Oh, I see." Fortunately, it's the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and the weather is not very cold, otherwise it would be really silly to stand alone behind the goal.

But when Shisan stood behind the door for more than an hour, he found out depressedly that it wasn't that Manchester United's defense was too professional, but that the Turkish team's offense was a bit amateurish, at least in today's game, and of course it may be They're too focused on defense.

Thirteen, who stood behind the goal throughout the game, roughly counted the number of times Kushchak touched the ball throughout the game.Except for the opportunity to open the goal kick, the Pole never touched the ball more than ten times, and at least five of these were teammates' return passes.

Although this kind of game is safe for a goalkeeper, he doesn't feel much. If he is in this kind of game for a long time, maybe his brain will deteriorate or he will develop super mental strength.

It is really difficult to concentrate in such a game, just like boiling a frog in warm water, if you want to avoid inexplicable deaths, there should still be some ups and downs.

Thirteen doesn't have a deep feeling for this game. Although this is his first trip to the Champions League, to be honest, it is really difficult for people to remember such a game.

But Ferguson was very satisfied, because he saw that this kid was really suitable for the game, and standing behind the goal was not much worse than playing, especially for the goalkeeper.

Although Kushchak on the field has few chances to touch the ball, at least he has teammates to cooperate and will not be too lonely, but Shisan standing behind the goal has to suffer alone.

In Ferguson's view, the biggest problem for young players is that they can't stand loneliness. In the Arsenal game, Shisan had attacked many times with too large a range. Thirteen was replaced, because he couldn't guarantee whether Thirteen could withstand Arsenal's cold knife.

But Sir Alex forgot that in the youth team, especially the Manchester United youth team, the goalkeeper's responsibility is larger than that of the professional league. The Manchester United youth team is an attacking team. Xia Shisan is in charge of the entire restricted area. What he still needs to adapt to now is a change in thinking, not because he can't stand loneliness. It's just that his previous performance is easy to misunderstand, such as attacking, such as picking up girls...

Is Thirteen's chance to play really gone?
