Chapter 280 The difference between the two old men

Manchester United attacked for more than 20 minutes and only had such a depressing kick to return without success, which made Ferguson's expression serious. Ferguson's goal in the Champions League this season is to defend his title. He led the team to win the Champions League last season. It may create a miracle, but in Ferguson's mind, their biggest opponent in the Champions League is Barcelona!

As for Arsenal this season, Ferguson doesn’t think they are invincible. Although Arsenal was the only one in Europe last season in terms of offense, no Premier League team could match the number of goals they scored throughout the season.

However, now Ferguson realizes that he underestimated Arsenal's defense, or underestimated Wenger's defensive coaching ability-you must know that Jose used his excellent defensive counterattack to win the Premier League Double!Last season, the risky tactics that focused on offense were adopted because there were many problems in the defense that could not be solved directly. For example, the central defenders were not fast, the full-backs on both wings were better at attacking, and the number of defensive midfielders was not enough... But through this summer’s adjustments, Arsenal’s protection of the front of the penalty area and the return speed of the two wings have been greatly improved. Coupled with the presence of Las Diarra, a defensive midfielder, their defense has once again become indestructible!

A good coach does not use only one tactic.

At this time, in the stands, someone was commenting on the ball for Shuo Shuo and the others.

"Many people say that the rise of Arsenal is due to Coach Wenger's foresight and his ability to recruit people from lower leagues. But if you look closely at Arsenal's key signings, you will find that this is not the case at all. During the contest between Arsenal and Manchester United, they had their own defense line, the top five defensemen in the Premier League. And their three most important signings, Bergkamp, ​​Henry, and Vieira, were not brought in from the small leagues. These three happened to be from the top three in the north. One team was brought in one by one—at the end of the 90s, Serie A was in full swing, and the top three in the north were in full swing. In their teams, some players could not play. Wenger’s Arsenal rose, and the most critical signings were achieved by buying players in Serie A, which was in full swing at the time.”

"Many people say that Arsenal bought players who did not perform well in Serie A. At that time, they were bought by Arsenal because they could not play in Serie A. But if you look carefully at these transactions, you will find that this is not the case. I specifically looked for the newspapers at the time and carefully looked at the reasons for the transfer of the three players."

"When Vieira was in Milan, before the Bosman Act, foreign aid could only play three per game. At that time, Milan had six foreign aids. Desailly, Welch, and Savicevic were the main players. Boban was the first substitute. Vieira was a young man. His chances were comparable to Fortrey's. They were all in rotation. It's just that he was unlucky. He was allowed to play in the Coppa Italia. The result was against Juventus, and he was asked to mark Zidane—Zidane in the late 90s. After the explosion, he lost his chance and went to Arsenal. He was not frustrated in Serie A, it was only because of the unlucky foreign aid regulations and Bi met people he shouldn't have met, which made him look bad."

"The same goes for Henry. Many people said that Henry did not play well in Serie A, so he went to the Premier League. But in fact, Henry scored consecutive goals in the last two games in Juventus, and the media reports at the time were 'new stars are rising'. Arsenal bought him at a record price, not at a cheap price."

"Bergkamp, ​​on the other hand, was unwilling to play anti-counterfeit football at Inter Milan. At that time, Inter Milan was chaotic. He was even asked to play as a midfielder. In addition, he and Ruben Sosa were at odds, thinking that Ruben Sosa was too sticky to the ball.

"Even including Anelka, we now say that Wenger discovered Anelka, but Paris Saint-Germain at that time was a powerful Ligue [-] player. They played against us in the Cup Winners' Cup final, entered the Champions League semi-finals, and had super players like Weah. At that time, Ligue [-] was the second league. They said it was poaching people from a small league, just like Ronaldo, who bought Manchester United.

"To sum up, what is the reason for the rise of Arsenal? It is based on the tireless introduction of neglected good players from better leagues. The Premier League in the 90s was a backward area. Many players who did not play well in Serie A could play well there. Zola and the others did it. Arsenal also rose in this way, and Wenger liked to poach fellow villagers. French players, even if they are not the main force of the national team, are still very strong. At that time, recruiting some down-and-out French stars would naturally succeed. But now the youth training in France has gone the wrong way, focusing only on physical fitness. Where can anyone be recruited in France? If Wenger digs fellow countrymen, something will happen. Wenger has a good vision and has taken a fancy to many good players, but where did the Arsenal team, Ashley Cole, Henry, Vieira, Pires, including Campbell, come from? Hiring Pires, Ljungberg, and Toure is great, but it doesn’t mean that Arsenal will always bet right—he’s not me. After consecutive successes in buying players, he was too conceited about his own vision, and wanted to poach those potential kids from the small leagues to train them, and then make Arsenal win the championship with less money. However, he forgot that the players he bought at the beginning were not the new stars in the small leagues, but the frustrated players of the big teams. It’s so difficult, the minor league players must have various deficiencies, the playing environment, training conditions, habits, diet, the youth training in the minor leagues and the major leagues are incomparable, Wenger trusts his children too much, his conceit has a great impact on his own team.”

""Mr. Wenger can't help it, who made him catch up with things like the team covering the pitch?It costs a lot to build a stadium, and no matter what, it is difficult to guarantee that the team will still have money to spend. "Shuo Shuo ignored his boasting.

This is not a matter of lack of money-the mysterious man didn't say it, it's okay to talk about people's football philosophy behind his back, but it's too disrespectful to Wenger.If it is said that there is no money and no more people are bought, then it is fine. However, because there is no money, and even when the team players renew their contracts because of the difference in the weekly salary of 30 pounds, Ashley Cole is forced to turn his face. This is somewhat unreasonable.Every coach has his own philosophy when coaching a team. In his opinion, Coach Wenger's annual signing for those over 30 years old, and strict control of weekly salary, are almost paranoid.The times have changed, and the wages of the players have increased. If you don't increase the wages of the players, how can you retain talents?It is too rigid to sign once a year over the age of [-]. This is Arsenal. What a lot of work to renew the contract every year...

The mysterious man went on to say that on the whole, Arsenal played quite smoothly in the 06-07 season. They have a very good lineup. On the forward line, the combination of Henry and Lee is very good.

First of all, their defense is still very good compared to the future. Although they are not as good as Campbell and Ashley Cole before, they are not so bad that they will make the whole of Europe laugh in the future.As for their forward line, the two generations of forwards, Henry and Lee, are quite powerful people, and they are not easy to deal with.

Moreover, the youth army has always been praised by people. Since Alan Hansen mocked Ferguson in 1994, but after Ferguson won the championship, many people believed that it was not impossible for the youth army to win the championship.

However, many people have overlooked that the use of the youth army must be used by veterans. Manchester United in 1994 did have a lot of young people, but at that time, only Neville and Giggs could barely be regarded as the main rotation. Beckham and others were still substitute players.As a matter of fact, has any of the admirable youth armies achieved achievements sufficient to attract the attention of the world?No.People's requirements for the youth army can always be lowered. As long as they get the top four or top five, it can be considered that the future is promising-but often, the future of the youth army is too young, so it may not be a good portrayal.

Ferguson and other head coaches have always taken steady steps in employing people. Small players need to be cultivated, but it does not mean that performance can be sacrificed for this.It is Manchester United's inheritance that old players walk with young players, and Capello and others put their grades first. Lippi has a reputation for promoting players, but he will not mess with the young guards either.There were two problems with Ferguson's team. One was when Cantona suddenly announced his retirement and was caught off guard. He lost the championship because of this. Another time was the transformation of the Class of 92 and he wanted to go mainland. However, English football has been weak for a long time.
