Super Coach

Manchester United met Liverpool, and this Community Shield match completely entered a fanatical atmosphere from the first minute.

Especially when you think about it, Liverpool beat Manchester United 4:0 at Old Trafford last season. This hatred alone is enough to make all Manchester United players go crazy.

In this game, Ferguson once again deployed a 4411 tactic. The goalkeeper is Howard, the defense is Phil Neville, Sylvester, O'Shea and Gary Neville, and the midfielder is Giggs, Djemba and Keane. With Solskjaer, Scholes plays as an attacking midfielder and Forlan serves as a lone forward.

Liverpool has also made adjustments to its lineup due to Ronaldinho's absence.

The goalkeeper is Reina, the defense is Riise, Hyypia, Carragher and Finnan, the midfielder is Davis, Carrick and Gerrard, the left winger is Robben, and the right winger is Ashavin. The center forward is Didier Drogba.

The game has completely entered into a bloody confrontation from the beginning, with both teams actively creating opportunities.

Yang Cheng's defense against Manchester United mainly focused on Giggs, pinching Giggs, and with Carrick's protection of the defense, Manchester United's offense lacked the ability to move forward. Robben on the left suppressed Gary Neville, forcing Manchester United not to dare to attack from their right.

This set of tactics is also a targeted approach used by many teams when facing Manchester United, because once Giggs' dribbling is lost and Scholes' back row is inserted, it will be difficult for Manchester United to effectively control the situation. The ball was sent into Liverpool's penalty area.

Yes, maybe Bigfoot is a way, but is that an efficient offensive routine?

This is why Yang Cheng has always said that Manchester United without Beckham and Giggs is equivalent to a toothless tiger, which looks fierce but is actually not scary.

However, Manchester United's defense was really well organized in this game. They did not give Liverpool too many opportunities throughout the first half. Robben, who was the most active on the left, created threats many times, but Manchester United's defense was still going on in an orderly manner. .

The first half finally ended with 0:0. During the intermission, Yang Cheng replaced Ashavin with Ribery, letting Scarface play on the left, and Robben switched to play on the right.

As soon as Ribery came on the field, he immediately attracted ridicule from the on-site commentator Andy Gray.

Haha, let me tell you, Yang Cheng was used to seeing handsome guys like Nesta in Serie A, and he came to the Premier League and started to pursue the heavy taste of the beast. Look at the current players in Liverpool, Drogba, Ribery, Davis... From now on, the two beasts of the Premier League will be renamed, and they will be called the three uglies of the Premier League from now on!

It seems,

Andy Gray seemed very proud of his ridicule and burst into laughter.

But Scarface showed an amazing side as soon as he came on the scene.

In the 47th minute, after he got the ball on the left, he directly faced Gary Neville, and saw him skillfully controlling the ball forward, suddenly accelerating, and using his explosive power and speed to forcefully overtake.

O'Shea, who was near Gary Neville, immediately rushed out to help defend, but after Ribery passed Gary Neville, what followed was Zidane's signature move. Marseille spun around and bypassed O'Shea.

After entering the restricted area, the next thing to do is very simple.

Ribery went towards the goal, Sylvester rushed over, the Frenchman made an emergency stop and pushed across the middle. Drogba deliberately missed it, and Robben pushed the shot with his left foot and scored, 0:1!

Oh my god, where did this guy come from? Andy Gray began to exclaim. With his speed, skills, and his Marseille slalom, is this Frenchman Zidane?

If Yang Cheng heard this, he would shake his head and ask, is Zidane so fast?

In fact, Ribery played suddenly. Gary Neville was passed by Robben several times in the first half, but his defense was still good. Suddenly he was replaced by Ribery, who had different passing characteristics, and he was caught off guard.

In the 53rd minute, Carrick made a long pass, Drogba responded, Gerrard passed the ball diagonally to the right, Robben received the ball and hit Phil Neville alone, dribbling the ball inside the penalty area, passing the ball diagonally to the left, inside. Berry raced to catch up, 12 meters in front of the goal, ahead of Howard, and hit the ball into the lower left corner, 0:2!

This offense reflected another set of offensive routines developed by Yang Cheng for the four offensive players in the frontcourt, a diagonal pass from both ribs.

After stealing the ball from the backcourt, it was handed to Carrick. Carrick found Drogba with a long pass. The Ivorian retreated to receive the ball and headed back. Gerrard passed the ball diagonally to Robben. The Dutchman passed one-on-one on the wing. Afterwards, he entered the penalty area, passed the ball diagonally behind the defense, and Ribery suddenly shot.

The whole process can be seen as a routine for Yang Cheng's side counterattack, because this kind of cut from the side and then pass diagonally to the other side is difficult to prevent, and once the offensive player intervenes in time, he will directly face the goal. , hit each one accurately.

Of course, that's true in theory, but it's definitely not easy in practice.

The goal rate in football is very low, and sometimes a routine may not be successful even once in a game.

…………

…………

With a 2-goal lead, Yang Cheng also began to make substitutions.

Larson came on to replace Drogba, and he obviously started to use Manchester United for training, but Yang Cheng did not move in the midfield, because that was the only way to ensure the team's advantage over Manchester United.

Ferguson replaced Giggs with Alan Smith, who had an average performance throughout the game, and pushed Smith to the front line to partner with Forlan.

Where did this Scarface come from? Queiroz appeared next to Ferguson again.

Walter Smith went to the Scottish national team, and Ferguson brought back Queiroz, who had been dismissed from Real Madrid. There was no way he could do it without an assistant who understood him and Manchester United.

But he has no idea that Queiroz's arrival is further exacerbating Manchester United's internal conflicts, especially the problems between him and Keane and others, which will become more acute because of his return.

Ferguson looked at Yang Cheng in the distance and smiled coldly, What a lucky guy!

A coach next to him immediately replied, I was hired from the French Third League. His name is Franck Ribery. He is a free transfer. He is 21 years old. He has always played in the French Third League and has never played in the top league.

Perhaps this is what Ferguson meant by bad luck, because no one would have thought that such a player who had played in a low-level league for a long time could actually have such abilities.

No one has heard of such a player before? Queiroz was a little helpless.

What is Manchester United doing now? He is the right attacker.

Look at this, although Ribery's left and right feet are balanced, but the main foot should be the right foot. His passing skills are very good, but the best thing is his explosive power. This is the weapon of all passing skills. Without explosive power, no one can Don't expect to pass unless you can stick the ball to your feet like Riquelme.

In other words, Ribery is in line with Manchester United's current urgent needs, but he joined Liverpool!

It can be said that Manchester United suffered setbacks in the transfer market this summer. They fell in love with Xavi Alonso, but the Spaniard went to Real Madrid and fell in love with Giuly. As a result, he went to Barcelona. What a bad time!

Wenger actually got away with a treasure. He left a wing attacker like France and didn't notice it! Ferguson sneered at the corner of his mouth. Even if he felt depressed, he wanted to drag Wenger down.

If we die, let's die together and be good friends.

However, there is a hint of envy in his words. Yang Cheng has his own coaching staff, and he has some scouting channels of his own, which can always discover some young stars that have never been discovered before. , for example, Veron, Deco, Denilson, Deisler and others who were left by Mourinho at Chelsea, weren't they all discovered by him in this way?

Of course, it is undeniable that being good at discovering players is one thing, and using them well is another. The two complement each other, and this is what makes Caesar what he is today.

Sometimes even Ferguson himself wants to ask him, hey, buddy, introduce me to a right midfielder.

But he couldn't do this kind of thing that compromised his identity. Otherwise, he would never be able to raise his head in front of Yang Cheng for the rest of his life. He would always be shorter than him. This was something that he, who was arrogant and arrogant, could never accept.

However, Ribery left a shadow on him, so many years later, when someone introduced him to a player named Bebe from the Portuguese third-tier league, he bought it at a high price without hesitation.

That damn Yang Cheng poached Franck Ribery from the French Ligue 3. You guys have been talking about it for so many years. I will poach Beibei from Portugal today and I will never lose to him! Ferguson was very awesome and coaxed. explain.

Although Ribery and Beibei are both precious Beibeis, and the latter has two more, Ferguson himself said that this was a joke, don't take it seriously!

…………

…………

It can be said that after leading by 2 goals, there is no suspense in the game.

After that, Liverpool created many opportunities, and Manchester United also worked hard to counterattack, but in the end they were still unable to get any advantage from Liverpool. Ferguson's team could only lose to Liverpool again with a score of 2:0 at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium. hand.

Liverpool also relied on this victory to create the most glorious quadruple crown in the Houllier era.

Yang Cheng walked towards Ferguson immediately after the game.

Haha, Sir, thank you! Yang Cheng smiled and reached out his hand.

Ferguson was chewing gum, but he puffed away and said, Thank you! It was as if I asked you to do it. You're so beautiful!

Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers, don't take it to heart! Yang Cheng comforted him with a smile.

It is a good idea not to hit the smiling person. No matter how much hatred he felt in Ferguson's heart, he had to deal with it. Besides, the two of them had a good relationship and the game was over, so there was no need to compete anymore.

I've said it before, occupying the north locker room may not necessarily lead to victory. It seems to be true. The curse of the south locker room has no effect on us! Yang Cheng saw that he was relaxing, but couldn't help but strike.

This boy is so arrogant!

But yes, he is adding insult to injury and wants to take advantage of Ferguson and Manchester United.

This kind of psychological advantage can sometimes really influence the victory of a game, especially when it can stimulate the opponent's competitive mentality.

It's just a Community Shield. You'd better not be complacent. The Portuguese at Chelsea is not a fuel-efficient lamp! Ferguson reminded. He suffered a loss from Mourinho in the Champions League last season.

When it comes to this Portuguese, Yang Cheng has a good idea. It is indeed difficult to deal with!

With the arrival of Mourinho this season, the Portuguese color in the Chelsea team has become stronger, because the Portuguese directly hired Carvalho, Ferreira, Maniche, Thiago and other stars from Portugal. , and because they couldn't get Robben from Liverpool, they introduced Wright Phillips from Manchester City.

On the forward line, the combination of Kressbō, Gudjohnsen, Kežman, Mutu, and Duff also gave people a glimpse of Chelsea's strength. In addition, the original team's Lampard, Joe Cole, Te The most famous generals here make people feel fearful when they see them.

Yang Cheng always believes that a player's success is never a fluke, and the so-called parallel players are often not actually weak in ability, but that the head coach fails to arrange appropriate tactics based on the players to allow them to perform.

Just like today's Manchester United, without Ruud Ruud, the king of the small penalty area, Ferguson cultivated Diego Forlan.

Who can guarantee that without Drogba, Mourinho will not change another set of tactics at Chelsea?

As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is a **... Oh, no, a comrade. Yang Cheng actually thinks that he should get close to Ferguson.

But just when he was about to speak, Ferguson looked away. He felt that the group of guys wearing Liverpool jerseys were really eye-catching and annoying.

Hehe, in comparison, I think you are more annoying than that arrogant Mourinho! Ferguson said with a bit of gloating, I don't mind seeing how he kicks you off the championship throne.

With Manchester United's current strength, it is really difficult to win the championship, and Ferguson himself knows this.

The teams most capable of winning the Premier League this season are Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal. The former is rich and powerful and has introduced powerful partner stars. Liverpool is managed with great pains by Yang Cheng. After winning the championship last season, the team Both his strength and mental state have improved by leaps and bounds.

As for Arsenal, the main lineup is very strong, but their playing style is soft. If they can withstand the pressure, they may have a chance to compete.

Ha, you are so unjust! Yang Cheng pointed at Ferguson's back and laughed.

But when he turned his head, his brows never relaxed.

Chelsea's strength this season is obvious. They have spent so much money and brought in so many stars. Even the bench is filled with top European stars. Anyone who encounters such a team will feel pressure.

But pressure is often motivation!

What's the matter? You said so much? Dalglish was very unimpressed with Ferguson.

Nothing, we talked about Chelsea!

When this name was mentioned, everyone's expressions became a little stiff.

The Blues are really scary, no joke.

But I'm a cheap person. Just because they are strong doesn't mean we have to give in and admit defeat. That arrogant Portuguese wants to kick me off the championship, so why don't I teach him a lesson? Yang Cheng He stopped and smiled.

There can be threats and pressure, but you must not be afraid or have a fearful mentality. Otherwise, half of the momentum will be lost before the game starts.

Everyone immediately nodded in unison, followed Yang Cheng out of the coaching area, and participated in the celebration of winning the Community Shield.

…………

…………

Four crowns, this is definitely a beautiful pre-season gift for Liverpool fans.

Although Houllier won the Quadruple Crown in 2001, this feeling is definitely different, because this time the Four Crowns include the important trophy of the league championship, which Houllier won that year. They are all cup competitions that are not taken seriously.

After the team returned to Liverpool, they received a warm reception from the players. Many Liverpool players made a special trip to the airport to greet the team, and then escorted the team all the way to Anfield Stadium and held a brief celebration ceremony.

After the celebration, the team immediately returned to the Melwood training base and the players had a day off that day.

The busy season is about to begin next. Yang Cheng stayed in the empty Melwood to discuss with the coaching staff the team’s training, warm-up matches, and the events exposed in this Community Shield Cup in recent times. out of the question.

This is normal. Every team will have various problems, but the key is how a head coach can cover up the problems and allow the team to dominate the court.

From returning to Liverpool in the morning to the afternoon, Yang Cheng was at Melwood all day long.

At around 5 p.m., Yang Cheng received a phone call.

You guys continue! Yang Cheng stood up, walked out of the boot room, went outside the corridor on the second floor, and answered the phone, Hello, Momo!

Hello, Caesar! Lin Mo's smiling voice on the other side of the phone was nice.

Is something wrong? Yang Cheng asked.

In the past few years, with Yang Cheng's connections and help, Lin Mo has become very successful in European football and quickly established relationships. She also left Capital TV and became a special reporter for some newspapers.

Boss Ye just called me. He said that there are two former players in China who want to come to Europe as intern coaches and asked me for my opinion. Boss Ye is Ye Wen, Yang Cheng's old buddy.

He didn't tell me. Yang Cheng smiled.

Maybe he was afraid that you wouldn't be able to refuse, she said with a smile, so I took the initiative to be the bad guy!

That's right, when Ye Wen opened his mouth, Yang Cheng couldn't refuse no matter what he said.

It's nothing, it's just a little effort! Yang Cheng felt that Ye Wen was a bit too much. This is just a very small thing. Is it necessary?

I know, that's why I'm looking for you! After all, he is someone who has been involved in European football and knows this very well.

How long will it take to prepare to come? Yang Cheng asked.

Su Maozhen will come for two to three years and prepares to take the coaching certificate exam in the UK. The other one plans to study for a month!

Yang Cheng frowned when he heard this, What should I study for one month? A vacation or a trip?

Lin Mo smiled bitterly on the other end of the phone. She also felt that she couldn't learn anything at all in a month, but she was introduced by the club and was introduced by the Football Association, so it was really hard to refuse.

Seeing that Yang Cheng didn't say anything else, Lin Mo knew that he was unhappy.

Let Su Maozhen come to Liverpool. I will ask someone to help him go through the formalities and apply for the coaching class. As for the one-month one, I don't want it. If you really want it, just find someone else! Yang Cheng refused without hesitation. feelings.

Lin Mo nodded helplessly. Over the years since she came to Europe, she had dealt with Yang Cheng countless times and had a good relationship with each other, so she knew that Yang Cheng could tolerate other things and muddle along, but he was very fond of football matters. Real, very real.

Then I will contact other teams. Lin Mo could only follow Yang Cheng's wishes. I will contact Su Maozhen immediately. I believe he will come to the UK in the next two days. I will bring him over to you then. of.

Yang Cheng hung up the phone after agreeing.

I feel very helpless. Does anyone really think that the entire system of the top European clubs can be moved back in one month?

Why are there some people who are so superficial that they like to look at the surface and make superficial remarks, but are unwilling to understand the essence in depth? ! .
