Super Coach

Some people laughed and ridiculed that the Glazer family is really unlucky, because since they bought shares in Manchester United, Manchester United has won fewer and fewer championships, and the Red Devils' combat effectiveness has become increasingly unsatisfactory.

Especially this season, Manchester United almost squeezed out of the top four of the league behind Everton. Although in the end, Manchester United relied on Ferguson's strategizing at critical moments to successfully step on Everton and successfully enter the top four of the league, but It is far different from the expectations of Red Devils fans.

The Premier League's giants have always had a habit. If they can't win the league championship, it would be good to compete for the cup championship. At least they can get a fig leaf to prevent themselves from being empty-handed and embarrassed.

Manchester United also reached the final of the League Cup, but ultimately lost to Chelsea in the League Cup final.

The Blues have made a name for themselves by winning the League Cup and the Premier League. Mourinho, in particular, has become an upstart in the Premier League. However, some people still think that he is following Yang Cheng's old path.

Look, last season Caesar won the League Cup and the Premier League championship. Now Mourinho is following in his footsteps to win these two championships. However, Caesar also had the UEFA Cup last year, but now Chelsea They can only live with the double crown and endure the humiliation of being beaten five times by Liverpool in one season.

Mourinho's life is really difficult, but Ferguson's life is even more difficult.

After the Premier League game ended, the Glazer family immediately announced that they would take over Manchester United. They would take Manchester United off the stock market and turn it into a family business. At the same time, the Glazer family promised to give Ferguson a huge transfer fee. , allowing Manchester United to operate in the transfer market and strengthen the team's own strength.

But they also said they hope to win the FA Cup, which is the only championship Manchester United can compete for this season.

But in fact, with Manchester United's current strength, it is really difficult to defeat the highly motivated Liverpool.

When the game progressed to the 29th minute, Larsson pulled to the right, received the pass from Robben, who forced a breakthrough, and knocked back in front of the baseline on the right side of the penalty area. Gerrard inserted in the back row, about 10 meters away from the right rib of the penalty area. With a shocking volley, Carroll made a save, but was unable to prevent the ball from entering the net, 0:1!

The young goalkeeper of Manchester United looks very annoyed. After replacing Howard as the starting star, he has always hoped to show his best strength and condition and keep his main position, but he proved it with game after game. , he is no better than Howard.

On the contrary, it was Liverpool's Gerrard, a player who was already destined to be unable to participate in the Champions League final. This game showed a very, very good competitive state, threatening Manchester United's goal from the beginning.

It was also Gerrard's outstanding performance in the 43rd minute. After taking the ball and advancing forward, he passed a low pass into the penalty area. After Larsson successfully countered offside, he entered the penalty area and scored with a low shot that once again broke the Manchester United goal. 0: 2!

With two consecutive goals, Liverpool seemed to be in the spotlight for a while, especially Gerrard's performance, which made people see his role in the Liverpool team.

The better Gerrard's performance is, the more people feel pessimistic about Liverpool's prospects in the Champions League final, because without Gerrard, can Liverpool still perform so well? Can Yang Cheng's team kill Juventus like it killed Manchester United?

To be honest, Manchester United and Juventus are fundamentally different tactically.

Ferguson is a tough guy, and it is rare to see him choose conservative tactics. Even if he dies, he must die standing; but Capello's team pays more attention to defense, and the Italian believes in setting up his own goal first. , first make sure I don’t concede the ball, then slowly wait for you to make a mistake, and then I will score your goal.

There is no doubt that the latter will be more troublesome.

After changing sides in the second half, Yang Cheng made a substitution adjustment. He replaced Davis with Ashavin. Gerrard retreated to Carrick to play as a double midfielder, and Ashavin played as an attacking midfielder. The trident cooperates.

Everyone can see that this is Yang Cheng's conscious attempt to try Asavin in preparation for losing Gerrard in the Champions League final.

But obviously, the effect is not good!

…………

…………

Facing Roy directly, Asavin has nothing to do! Benitez shook his head.

The Russian is indeed very skilled, and his awareness and game reading ability are also outstanding. However, the problem is that his body has never allowed him to display his technical skills in the face of the opponent's high-intensity pressing.

This has become the biggest obstacle preventing him from performing well in the Premier League.

Yang Cheng watched silently, because he replaced Ashavin just to try his style of play without Gerrard, but Ashavin was obviously not able to shoulder this responsibility at this time.

Although Manchester United's style of play in this game was very oppressive, the defense did not shrink. In other words, there was still a lot of space for Ashavin. However, when the Russian met Keane, he completely lost his temper, especially the Manchester United captain. With that kind of intimidation, Keane became red-eyed when he was 2 goals behind in the game.

After encountering Keane with the ball several times and suffering a lot, Ashavin began to avoid Keane to get the ball, which lengthened the distance between him and the trident in front.

The body lacks confrontation. If this problem is not corrected, he will never hope to gain a foothold in the Premier League! Yang Cheng said with some distress.

He likes to attack, so he prefers Ashavin to replace Gerrard, because the Russian has very good offensive and passing abilities, and his ball-taking ability is very characteristic and can help Liverpool hold the ball in the frontcourt.

But facing Manchester United, he couldn't withstand the pressure. Facing Juventus, which has stronger defensive ability and better pressure ability, can he be reassuring? You know, Capello's 442 defensive midfielders this season have worn out countless strong teams and stifled the performance of countless talents.

Just when Yang Cheng and Benitez were thinking and considering countermeasures, Giggs broke through from the left and passed into the penalty area. Forlan came in from the back row and regained a victory for Manchester United, 1:2!

For a time, Manchester United boosted their morale and launched a wave of offensives. On the contrary, Liverpool was losing ground.

Yang Cheng immediately made substitutions. First, he replaced Robben on the right with Murphy, and asked Ashavin to play the right wing. Murphy came to play in the forward position in the middle, and then replaced Gerrard with Essien. Essien and Carrick formed a defensive midfield double.

This substitution was very effective in containing Manchester United's offense. Essien's defensive ability is still very good, and his running ability is very outstanding. He can protect Carrick and ensure that Liverpool's midfielder is comfortable.

As for Murphy, his awareness and skills are very good, and he is a practical player. This Manchester United killer seems to have a psychological advantage when facing Manchester United. He is very confident when he takes the ball several times, especially when facing Keane. He seemed very calm.

In the 85th minute, when Ronaldinho broke through from the left, he was tripped by Gary Wilhelm. The referee did not hesitate to award a free kick in the frontcourt. Murphy took the free kick himself, but Vidic missed it deliberately. , Larsson scored with a header from the back, 1:3!

This goal also completely sentenced Manchester United to death.

But what is even more ironic is that when Liverpool scored the third goal, the entire Millennium Stadium Manchester United fans sang in unison: Manchester United is dead! Manchester United is dead!

Coupled with the fact that they did not wear the club's traditional red jersey, but wore black clothes as if they were attending a memorial service, this makes people have to wonder, are this group of Manchester United fans mourning the death of Manchester United?

Maybe he saw the actions of Manchester United fans, or maybe he was really dissatisfied with the team's deal of nearly 800 million pounds. At the last moment of the game, there was another chance, but Keane said angrily. He took a long shot, kicked the ball into the stands, and then walked away without looking back.

Manchester United is dead!

Really dead!

If we use what the deputy chairman of the Manchester United Stockholders Association said before the game, they are not here to disrupt the stadium. They hope to come and watch the last performance of Manchester United's Red Devil spirit. They put on black clothes just to mourn the club. death, to mourn the spirit of the Red Devil who is about to leave them. The on-site commentator said with emotion.

The live TV cameras were focused on many Manchester United fans. Many of them had a black armband wrapped around their arms, with three white letters P written on it. It was very conspicuous, which meant RIP.

I wonder if Lei Ze will regret his acquisition after seeing such crazy resistance from Manchester United fans? You know, this group of Manchester United fans had protested before the game. Their actions even gained sympathy and recognition from the Welsh police.

Just as the on-site commentator was expressing his emotions, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

The game is over! The on-site commentator seemed a little excited, because he saw Liverpool rushing up and down the field to celebrate their victory in the FA Cup. Let us congratulate Liverpool. They finally won the first cup of the season. The weighty trophy has overcome the shadow of losing the Premier League title. I believe that with this FA Cup, they will be more confident to face Juventus in the Champions League final!

Let us wish Liverpool an unforgettable night in the upcoming Istanbul, and hope they can bring back the Champions League trophy that has been away from England for 20 years to our England! The commentator on the scene is also from England. People are obviously on Liverpool's side.

It can be said that throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s, English football was still very competitive in Europe. Liverpool in 1977, 1978, 1981 and 1984, including the one that lost the championship in 1985 due to the Heysel tragedy. Once; in Nottingham Forest in 1979 and 1980, the magical Clough's team swept the entire Europe; in 1982, Aston Villa also won the only Champions League in the club's history.

Throughout the early 1980s, English football swept the entire European continent. However, after the Heysel tragedy in 1985, Mrs. Thatcher took the initiative to admit her mistake. England faced a five-year European ban, and Liverpool even suffered a seven-year European ban. This Let the strength of English football come to an abrupt end.

All of this is inseparable from political factors, as well as the methods of some politicians in UEFA, and the competing interests of all parties. If you really want to explore it, maybe you can write a novel.

In the past twenty years, only Manchester United has reached the Champions League final, but they encountered the miraculous Kaiserslautern team led by Yang Cheng and eventually returned in despair.

Ordinary fans will not pay attention to these, they will only care. Now that the Premier League has ushered in the title of the world's number one league, the Champions League has long been occupied by Serie A and La Liga teams. This makes the Premier League the number one league in the world. It seems somewhat unconvincing. They are eager to have a Premier League team stand up and win a Champions League.

In this context, not only Liverpool fans, but also fans of other teams, and even some fans of Manchester United and Chelsea, will support Liverpool as English fans and hope that the Red Army can do their best to compete for the Champions League and win the Champions League. The first Champions League in the history of the Premier League and the first Champions League for English football after 21 years.

At least at this moment, their thoughts are the same!

…………

…………

If you want to beat Juventus with this lineup, it will be difficult!

On the edge of the court, Ferguson and Yang Cheng stood side by side.

The FA Cup final is over. Ferguson talks to Yang Cheng more as a friend. He will not help Yang Cheng with suggestions, but only puts forward some of his own opinions.

At their level, it is difficult for anyone to influence their decision-making.

Yang Cheng knew it and smiled. Losing Gerrard would be a great loss to Liverpool.

Davis has been injured frequently this season and his condition is difficult to guarantee. Carrick is very stable, but the problem is that he is an organizer who needs help from others. He alone cannot do it.

If Davis is in good condition, maybe, but if Juventus cuts off the connection between Davis and Carrick, then Liverpool will need another person in the midfield to help Carrick.

In the past, this person was Gerrard, but now another person must step forward.

You must know better than me. You can't rush when playing against Juventus, you have to be steady! Ferguson reminded.

In fact, Yang Cheng is more experienced than Ferguson in this regard, because he has been in Serie A for four years and competed with Capello and Juventus for four years. In these four years, he has almost steadily defeated Capello. Perrault and Juventus.

But the problem is that back then, he was sitting on Inter Milan's enviably luxurious lineup, but today's Liverpool does not have the strength of Inter Milan's lineup at that time.

Ronaldinho and Robben are indeed very strong, but they are more about talent and potential. After all, they are still very young. The only world-class attacker in the team is Gerrard, but the problem is that he was in the key finals. Absence.

This also directly led to the outside world's pessimism about Liverpool!

Yang Cheng patted Ferguson on the shoulder and sent him away. Before the latter left, he asked Yang Cheng for a few tickets and said that he would definitely go to the scene to cheer him on. Yang Cheng repeatedly promised that the club would send it to him later.

The whole of England is pinning their hopes on you, come on! Ferguson's last words were encouragement with a smile.

Having not won the Champions League for 21 years makes the Premier League, which has the world's number one league, feel a little embarrassed. It is indeed eager to have a team that can help the Premier League accomplish this feat.

After seeing off Ferguson, Yang Cheng temporarily put aside everything about the final and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the celebration of winning the FA Cup.

After all, this is Liverpool's first significant trophy this season!

The Liverpool players were so excited that they sprayed each other with champagne, and even Yang Cheng was not spared. In the end, everyone was covered in champagne, wet, and looked indescribably embarrassed, like a drowned rat.

At the award ceremony, Ferguson did not go on stage to receive the runner-up medal, but Manchester United players, led by Keane, stepped onto the podium one by one. However, Rio Ferdinand fell on the spot after receiving the medal. tears.

Yang Cheng and Liverpool players followed the Manchester United players on stage to receive the championship medal.

When Yang Cheng stepped onto the podium, the entire Cardiff Millennium Stadium stand burst into applause and excitement. Liverpool fans shouted Caesar's name in recognition of what Yang Cheng has done for Liverpool in the past two seasons. His contribution and his outstanding performance in leading the team.

According to the tradition of the FA Cup, a member of the royal family will come to the scene to present the award in every final. This time they arranged for the British Crown Prince Prince Charles to come.

Congratulations, Caesar! Prince Charles handed the medal into Yang Cheng's hands with a smile and congratulated him with a smile.

Thank you! Yang Cheng responded politely.

Prince Charles always maintained a kind smile, which made people feel friendly, We all hope that you can lead Liverpool to defeat Juventus in the next UEFA Champions League final and win us a Champions League!

Yang Cheng kept nodding, I'll do my best!

Prince Charles smiled and said: We have full confidence in you, Caesar!

After a pause, he continued: We are preparing to organize some members of the royal family to go to Istanbul in person to watch this game live and cheer for you!

The Liverpool team still has a certain degree of influence in England, and the public sentiment in England generally hopes that Liverpool will win the championship. Therefore, in this context, it seems that the entire UK is standing behind Liverpool, becoming Their strong support.

Of course, this kind of thing is relatively normal. For example, the Prime Minister of Spain went to Camp Nou to watch the game in person during the knockout rounds, but Barcelona still lost that game, and the Spanish Prime Minister and the domestic media did not criticize Barcelona much. , so Yang Cheng will not feel pressured by this.

To put it bluntly, whether it is the Prime Minister of Spain or members of the British royal family, they are just a group of ordinary fans who go to the stadium to watch football. At best, it can only be said that they have a certain status symbol, but that is all.

Fundamentally, their status is equal to that of ordinary fans. They cannot be superior to other fans at all, let alone the team and the team's leader, the head coach.

You know, in the Premier League, the head coach has the greatest power in the competitive field, and no one can question this.

But with the involvement of the British royal family, there is no doubt that this final will become more eye-catching.
