world number one assists

Before the end of the UEFA Champions League, most of the players recruited by England have gone through a short vacation adjustment, and even entered the base to start the final preparations before the World Cup, which obviously made the coaches of other national teams envious.

Of course, this is also because the Premier League starts earlier than other leagues, and there is no winter break.

While players from other national leagues enjoy a short winter vacation and reunite with their families, these English hard-working players are still fighting in the rain and snow, presenting a Christmas game for the fans.

Now that England has entered the state, the media of various countries have fully focused on the World Cup that will come next month.

Regarding the England coached by Ferguson, the British local media still stick to their personality and insist on blowing this England to the sky!

Super luxurious England!

Greatest England in the world!

The bragging about players is even more exaggerated.

The British media can blow people to the sky when they brag, and they can also demote them to hell when the players are not in good condition. Now they have turned on the crazy bragging mode, and they are crazy about themselves.

For example, the defense composed of Ferdinand and Terry, Ashley Cole and Gary Neville, in their mouth, apart from Italy, there is no opponent at all!

Besides the midfield, it was even more explosive.

Although I don't know how Ferguson plans to play, but only looking at the pure paper lineup, the British media can only be intoxicated and shouted-we will blow up the sky!

Even if it is a seemingly troubled striker, after Ferguson said that he would let Randall play as a striker and partner with Owen, the British media are not afraid of exaggerating. a group match.

Such exaggerated bragging has attracted countless England fans to buy it!

That's right, they like it!

After seeing these reports, Ferguson could only sneer.

Why don't you blow it up to the sky?

How did the old man himself assess England?

In fact, he himself is not good at evaluating.

Because the players in reality are not the data people in the game, they will have ups and downs, they will have injuries, and they are more likely to have psychological problems.

Take Scholes for example, although there is no problem with his legs and feet, but Scholes has been absent from the game for more than three months, so give him time to talk about his status, and although he is back on the court, no one knows, Ferguson himself is still very nervous. Clearly - Scholes' vision is still partially affected.

Let's talk about Owen.

A healthy Owen, the direction of the sword, is enough to attack the goal of any goalkeeper, and more importantly, he is an out-and-out Mr. Scene.

The more important the game, the bigger the scene, at the moment when players are most needed to come forward, Irving will never disappoint.

Ferguson has never told anyone, but he really likes Owen and appreciates this kind of efficient striker, otherwise he would not have invited Owen to try out that year. As a result, this idiot whose eyes were covered with googly eyes went to Liverpool. Overhaul twice lightly.

What is Owen's status?

What the team doctor said doesn't count, what the data report says doesn't count, and what the physical training says doesn't count. Only his goals in the World Cup are the answer.

With Scholes still not out of the haze of blindness, with Irving in an unpredictable state, and with both virtues playing at the same time as the disaster scene, Ferguson had some wonderful inspirations.

The person who inspired him is none other than Rijkaard, the Barcelona coach who reached the Champions League final like Arsenal this season.

Although Manchester United was out of the European war early this season, Ferguson's eyes have been focused on it. Winning the Champions League again and surpassing Sir Busby is one of the three unfinished wish lists in his coaching career.

Ferguson actually doesn't appreciate Barcelona's football. Barcelona's football and Ajax are in the same strain. It is simply the relationship between a son and a father.

What they pay attention to is the control of the football, but Ferguson is not. He likes pure English football, which is fast, pragmatic and efficient. Even if there is a kick, it is more in the backcourt.

It can be said that the football concept that Ferguson likes is different from Rijkaard, the Dutchman who is inseparable from Ajax and Barcelona.

But Ferguson still sees a bright spot in Rijkaard's tactics, especially his different formation choices in the Champions League and La Liga——

In Europe, Rijkaard favored disruptors like Van Bommel, even putting defender Edmilson in midfield.

But in La Liga, where the physical confrontation is not intense, Rijkaard's choices are often Xavi, Iniesta and Deco.What caught Ferguson's attention was the height of the trio. All three were under 6 feet, not even 5 feet 9 inches, but the three could control the ball without being overwhelmed by the opponent's strong midfielder.

This is not to say that Ferguson wants to emulate Rijkaard, it just gave him a little inspiration, a little confidence, and made him firm in his philosophy——

Lao Tzu's idea of ​​playing without fronts is feasible!

Even without Rooney, without Owen, with Scholes, Gerrard, and Lampard, they can still play.

Oh, only three of the four of them will do.

Gerrard played on the right for most of the season, let him continue on the right, Scholes played in the middle, Randall played on the left, followed by Hager and Barry, it was perfect!

In this case, one striker is enough, even if that striker is Crouch!

It doesn't matter if I don't have a forward, my defense is also very good!

In this way, the injury problem can be solved perfectly. After all, whether it is Lampard, Barry, Hag, Carrick or Beckham, they are not pure engineers, they are all English midfielders who can attack and defend well...

His range of options is too much, too big.

If anyone doesn't adapt, just replace it!

With this thought in mind, Ferguson knew that there were still many problems——

England play 442 all the year round. Changing the lineup is always like a child who can't find his mother and gets lost in the fog every minute. It will take time for them to adapt to this lineup.

Ferguson decided to take a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, he focused on the young international players of U23 and U21. Will the children come to be sparring partners?The fully enclosed one.

On the other hand, the players have to live up to themselves.

For example, Randall's damn unsatisfactory shooting skills!

Scholes' damn eyesight!

Rooney's damn injury!

If Randall can score goals, he doesn't even need a striker!

If Scholes can usher in the World Cup in a better state, he does not need to consider Lampard and Beckham, who is not happy to see it.

If Rooney can recover from injury, he doesn't have to worry about whether Irving can persist for 7 games... let alone choose Crouch...

Ferguson moved very quickly, and the FA supported any of his demands with both hands and feet.

Not only did they quickly recruit young players from these two echelons, they even expanded the scope to U18, which is also to cultivate the future.

But these teenagers also lost part of their freedom. In order to prevent the pervasive British media from exposing their tactics, these young players even handed over their mobile phones.

Of course, the FA, which is rich and not short of money, also gave these young players higher bonuses than when they played games.

Why do young players care about this?

They are targeting Ferguson!If they can enter Ferguson's eyes, don't they have a chance to join Manchester United?

What was supposed to be a sheep management has now become a flock of sheep.

The media didn't know what Ferguson was up to, and that didn't stop them from complaining about the old man in the newspapers.

In addition to recruiting a bunch of sparring partners, Ferguson also arranged requirements for the whole team——

The whole team has to practice penalty kicks!

This is extremely important!

Ferguson has seen England fall to the penalty spot more than once in the past few decades.

Every time it happened, he couldn't stop laughing, seeing enough jokes, how could he let such a tragedy happen to him now!

His coaching team also conducted targeted training for each player.

For example, Randall needs to strengthen header training and penalty kicks. At this time, Beckham's golden right foot will come into play.

After two or three days of training, the players gradually recovered their state during the season, and they guessed Ferguson's thoughts in the first team match.

This old man is simply crazy!

He actually wants to engage in no front formation!

Randall was also shocked.

He has known for a long time that Ferguson is a coach who is very good at absorbing various tactical ideas, taking the best and discarding the dross. In this regard, many of his younger generations are hard to match. This is why Ferguson can coach Manchester United for 20 years!

Who knew the old man would be so crazy this time?

After the game, Randall looked at Ferguson with stars of admiration!

Regardless of how tired he was, he found the old man immediately and wanted to have a review with the old man, and said that he could provide first-hand experience.

Ferguson directly told him to go back to the locker room to take a shower. Do you want to catch a cold?

idiot!

However, after Ferguson waited for them to take a shower and receive the massage from the physical therapist, he did not let them go to rest immediately, but called these midfielders and asked them how they felt.

Randall played heartily, and Gerrard can also accept the position on the right. Before Scholes retired from the national team, he played more as a left midfielder. This time Ferguson will leave him in the middle, and he does not need extra adaptation.

Ferguson then asked Lampard, Beckham and others from another group.

That's right, the old man directly divided the international players into Team A and Team B, and adopted the same lineup.

The B team is actually a bit of a problem.

The old man let Lampard play in the middle, the right belongs to Beckham, and the left belongs to Joe Cole, but Beckham is a little uncomfortable. The other two players play in the same position as the club, so only Beckham slightly Something was wrong, of course, he wouldn't admit it.

Ferguson didn't care either.

It's okay, I can throw you in the back position.

On the second day after the game, these England internationals watched the Champions League final between Barcelona and Arsenal after finishing training.

Theoretically speaking, just from a theoretical point of view, everyone should clearly support the England team, which is Arsenal, but everyone understands.

But even if they don't really want to see Arsenal win, the players still feel a little bit stuck after watching the game——

Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann was sent off after pitching Samuel Eto'o 18 minutes into the game.Wenger had to replace Pires with Almunia.

One less player was played in 18 minutes. Everyone thought that Barcelona would score the first goal, but it was Henry who scored the first goal of the game!

With 36 points, Henry assisted Sol Campbell with a header to take the lead. With this goal, Arsenal maintained a 76-1 lead until 0 minutes.

But in the 76th minute, Eto'o scored a suspected offside goal. The referee said the goal was valid, and Eto'o roared in celebration.

Just a few minutes later, Belletti scored another goal for Barcelona, ​​even piercing through Almunia's "wicket". This goal completely ruined Arsenal's hope of winning the championship.

Randall looked at Henry's painful expression after the game, and he was very sad.

Both Van Nistelrooy and Henry have been rumored to have transferred more than once this season. Van Nistelrooy will move to La Liga. What about Henry?Will he leave?

Henry is only one step away from his first Champions League trophy in his life, only 24 minutes away.

Randall wishes he could remember the expressions on Henry and the other Arsenal players.

Such a pity, he didn't want it to happen to him!
