Super Coach

I feel very sorry for the result of the game!

At the post-match press conference at Old Trafford, Ferguson faced all the reporters with a look of regret.

If we look at the normal course of the game, I don't think the result should be like this. At least if we scored the first goal, the situation would be completely different. But unfortunately, the opponent's high-level performance prevented us from progressing. ball.

Everyone can see that the face of the old Scottish coach is full of regret, and it is indeed what he said. If the opening shot had been scored, the situation may have completely changed, at least in the opening game of Real Madrid. Even if they fall behind, they may not be able to continue to be as calm and dominant as they showed during the game.

Many times, a goal, even a pass, a pass, a tackle, or a save may lead to completely different results in the game. This is the accident of football.

But Ferguson has not forgotten that losing the game is inevitable.

My team is a little tired. We have played a total of three games so far this season, including the league, cup, and Champions League, while Real Madrid has played 47 games, which is one game less than us, but They had a two-week winter break and we didn't, which made the physical gap between us and the other team too obvious.

Of course, Real Madrid's advantage is not just physical fitness. They are very good at controlling the rhythm and displaying their own style and characteristics. This is why they win. They do better than us, and fatigue makes us lose here. He did a poor job and gave up the initiative in the game to his opponent.

No matter what, Real Madrid deserves to win this game because they played better. This is their reward!

Ferguson seems to have greatly appreciated Real Madrid's performance, and when asked by reporters about the starting lineup for this game, Ferguson said that he had no choice.

The biggest difference between us and Real Madrid is that they are the leaders of the league, and we are the chasers. They can stay in the league, but we have to go all out in every game. We played on Sunday The game will be played in the Champions League on Wednesday, with two days of rest in between, and many players are still adjusting.

We carefully planned the attack after the start, but unfortunately, Thiago and Silva's world-class performance completely destroyed our plan, and then we had a bad start and conceded the ball to my players. It has had a certain impact, making them impatient and less confident.”

Ferguson was clearly particularly impressed by the first goal conceded, which, at least in his mind, destroyed United's start.

I arranged the starting lineup based on the lineup I could put together. We also worked very hard to change our tactics during the game. We even had attackers on the court at the same time, but it never worked.

Should Berbatov start? I don't think it can be seen that way. The substitute is different from the starter. He is the changer of the game. At that time, I needed someone to create opportunities and let more players rush into Real Madrid's penalty area, so he would be He played a better role, but our start was about attacking and pressing up front, and he was deficient in this aspect.

After hearing this, the reporters below all laughed in unison.

Berbatov is a well-known handsome guy in the Premier League. He can cut off his head but not mess up his hair.

The only thing I can say about this game is that we can only blame ourselves for not playing well enough and losing to a team that played better and more ideally.

I can foresee that the second leg in Madrid will be a very difficult game, there is no doubt about it, because we have to get a goal difference there against Real Madrid, which will be very difficult for our attack. It’s a big test, and Real Madrid will definitely use every possible means to take advantage of it.”

But when the conversation changed, Ferguson also said that Manchester United still had a chance, I firmly believe that as long as our players can withstand the pressure, we still have a good chance at the Bernabeu Stadium!

After visiting Ferguson, reporters began to target Yang Cheng, hoping to get Yang Cheng to counterattack Ferguson's remarks. However, Yang Cheng was already familiar with these reporters' routines and techniques.

Yes, I think Ferguson is right. Our start was indeed unsatisfactory. Manchester United's opening attack caused us a lot of trouble. We even almost scored. We didn't wait until after we scored. Taking control of the situation was a rare experience and lesson for us.”

But I am very happy. My players withstood the pressure from the opponents very well. Any opponent will have a headache facing a top team like Manchester United because they are one of the strongest teams in football today. With a great manager, this combination often means victory, and I think it’s incredible that we were able to win at Old Trafford.”

In fact, in Yang Cheng's mental prediction before the game, he felt that the ideal score would be a draw.

Visiting Old Trafford and challenging Manchester United away, it would be a bit greedy to say that we want to win. All Yang Cheng's layout and tactical preparations are based on maintaining a draw, and then plotting for another victory.

This is what it is called, strategically despising the enemy, and tactically paying attention to the enemy.

Yang Cheng advocates offense, and it can even be said that he regards offense as his life, but this does not mean that he is desperate. He also knows how to measure and weigh the pros and cons. Otherwise, he would not be where he is today.

Many people were puzzled by his two-legged match against Chelsea last season. They felt that it was very stupid to have a strong attack in the away game after being tied 0:0 by Chelsea at the Bernabeu. But in fact, is this really the case?

MM

The score of 0:0 at home is theoretically more beneficial to Chelsea, but that is probably a tilt, because they did not score away goals, so it is difficult to say how beneficial it is.

But at Stamford Bridge, Real Madrid attacks again, why? 【..Quality novel, real quality, good novel! 】

Because as long as Real Madrid scores again, Chelsea must score 2 goals to defeat Real Madrid, so there is no problem with the away attack. The problem is that Mourinho's defense is too strong, so strong that even Real Madrid cannot break it. !

If you play defensive counterattack at Stamford Bridge and put aside other aspects, let’s just talk about the game. Facing a Chelsea team that is already determined to play defensive tactics, if you continue to defend and counterattack, in the end it will only turn the game into a passive war of attrition.

Therefore, Yang Cheng likes to take the initiative. He will take the initiative to attack, strive to score first, and then force Chelsea to press out and break Mourinho's defensive tactics. From a strategic point of view, this is definitely correct.

But the problem is that in a football match, it does not mean that you can win if you have the right tactics, because a football match is always full of unpredictable unexpected factors.

Just like Ferguson's game, he wanted to play Berbatov at the last moment. This pairing was a coup. If Real Madrid didn't take advantage of it and Yang Cheng didn't give countermeasures in time and suppress it, then In the end, this victory may turn into a draw or even a loss, which Ferguson did not expect.

Therefore, in Yang Cheng's view, this game between him and Ferguson was a draw. At best, he had a slight advantage, but Ferguson's changes were also impressive. As for Manchester United and Real Madrid, because of the head coach's The outcome is determined by reason.

Although he received Yang Cheng's protection, Ferguson's employment in the game was still questioned.

Many media, including some authoritative media, were surprised that Ferguson appointed Park Ji-sung to start instead of Berbatov, who changed the game. They believed that Berbatov should be qualified for the starting lineup due to his performance. They also felt that it was a problem with Ferguson's use of troops. As a result, Manchester United failed in all aspects.

The media's tone of victory is understandable.

of

If Manchester United fails to use tactics to freeze Real Madrid's offense, then this group of media will collectively change their direction and think that Park Ji-sung is Ferguson's masterstroke. But now that they have lost, Ferguson can only admit it.

Looking back at Real Madrid, apart from being slightly at a disadvantage in the first and second minutes, Real Madrid completely controlled the game at all other times, especially Li Qingxian, which made people see the gap in strength between Manchester United and Real Madrid. .

The title used by the British Guardian is [Gorgeous Real Madrid completely surpasses the Red Devils! ], the article spoke highly of the Real Madrid led by Yang Cheng and believed that they played the most beautiful football in the current football world.

While Barcelona were still immersed in their obsession with possession of the ball, Real Madrid used a sharp, concise and passionate lightning offensive to pierce the sky, shocking Europa with thunderbolt momentum!

The Times believes that Real Madrid is currently at its strongest stage in history, and it is the most gorgeous and most in line with the aesthetics of football art among fans around the world.

If we say that Barcelona's ball-control football is an extremely luxurious Rolls-Royce, although it can be lucky and not hit the wind, it wins more with stability and comfort, but Real Madrid is more like a Bugatti Veyron. Dragons are full of wild desire to conquer, but they also show unique creativity in every aspect.”

There is no doubt that the smooth and stable Rolls-Royce will inevitably feel a bit tired after sitting for a long time, but the passionate Bugatti Veyron will give you a different driving experience and fun every time.

Well...Mourinho's Chelsea...well, looks like a military bulletproof Humvee!

In addition to British newspapers, French newspaper L'Equipe stated that the biggest favorite for this year's Champions League is Real Madrid.

Yang Cheng's team fully demonstrated their mature football framework and concepts in the two duels against Bayern and Manchester United. They both won undisputed victories. They will definitely be the champions of the Champions League this season. As the number one favorite, even if he encounters Chelsea in the final, Yang Cheng will definitely not let himself lose to the same team for three consecutive seasons.

The Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport used the title [Real Madrid, Rome welcomes you! ], to express their belief in Real Madrid. Italian media generally believe that Real Madrid will win the Champions League at the Olympic Stadium this season, even if they face Mourinho's Chelsea.

But some newspapers found Real Madrid's victory unconvincing.

Mundo Deportivo published a headline, [At the critical moment, luck is on Real Madrid’s side], believing that Real Madrid was lucky to be able to escape from Old Trafford. Manchester United’s counterattack at the last moment almost destroyed Real Madrid’s efforts throughout the game. Falling short of success.

“If Real Madrid wants to win the championship, they must continue to maintain this advantage at the Bernabeu Stadium, but the game against Barcelona on the weekend will be a huge test for Real Madrid. They fought Manchester United for 90 minutes at Old Trafford. China will once again face a crucial second round, whether Real Madrid can have the last laugh depends on the performance of these two games.

Marca and AS gave Real Madrid's performance high praise, but also reminded Real Madrid not to be careless, because under the current situation, Real Madrid is walking on a single-plank bridge. If they are not careful, whether they lose to Barcelona , or losing to Manchester United next Wednesday may cause Real Madrid's double-championship dream to be shattered throughout the season.

However, among the winning odds offered by bookmakers, Real Madrid’s winning odds are as high as ⑸, which is the highest winning odds among all teams. Chelsea’s odds are 325, and they lost by 0 in the first round at Stamford Bridge: 1's Arsenal is 425, while Real Madrid's opponent Manchester United has fallen from the second favorite to the last place, with only odds.

From this point, it is not difficult to see that after defeating Manchester United 2:1 in the away game, Real Madrid is already the most popular team to win the Champions League this season. Everyone is optimistic that they will advance to the finals and even win the championship.

In addition to the media and betting companies being optimistic about Real Madrid, there are also many football celebrities who have given high praise to Yang Cheng's Real Madrid.

Heathfield said in an interview with the media, It is difficult for me to imagine any team that can prevent Real Madrid from winning the Champions League. Although in my opinion this team still has some shortcomings and a lot of room for improvement, but they They are definitely worthy of a championship, and even in the next few years, they will be the most powerful contenders for the championship and all the championships!

Former Spanish national team coach Aragones said, Real Madrid's football has obvious advantages in intensity and speed based on the same delicate skills. This is why their style of play is more popular than Barcelona's. One of the reasons, but unfortunately, it is difficult to adapt to Spain with this style of play.

But Aragones also feels, If anyone else in the current European football world can stop the Premier League, then there is no doubt that it must be Real Madrid!

This is also the biggest change brought about by Yang Cheng's time travel, that is, he accelerated the development of football tactics. However, due to the same lineage of youth training system and coaches, as well as the Cruyff behind him, Barcelona's overall tactical development is somewhat behind. Not as fast as other teams, the Cosmos team, which was supposed to be the most powerful team, is now being restrained everywhere.

Just imagine, from the first encounter in 1997 to now, Yang Cheng's restraint and understanding of Barcelona's tactics have been teaching other teams. In this way, is there any secret to Barcelona's tactics?

However, cracking the secret does not mean that victory is guaranteed. Barcelona's players are very strong and not just any team can beat them. Especially for Barcelona, ​​which has been eliminated from the Copa del Rey and the Champions League this season. They are even more determined to win the league. Erta also urgently needs a century derby victory to save his position crisis.

For us, this is a game we cannot lose. I can't imagine what it would be like if we lost this game. There is a cliff behind us. We can only move forward, not backward!

When Laporta was interviewed by reporters the morning after Real Madrid defeated Manchester United, he expressed Barcelona's emphasis on the upcoming Derby of the Century. He even used many extreme terms, such as collapse, to remind everyone Barcelona players must win this game, not lose!

Similarly, Laporta also talked about the disc incident with Mourinho for the first time after a year. He said that he had indeed had in-depth contact with Mourinho, but Later, he and the club's management felt that Mourinho was not suitable for Barcelona, ​​but he did not explicitly deny plagiarizing Mourinho's tactical reforms like Guardiola did, but used them as references.

You know, this is Josep's first season on his own and we're pleased with him that he's performing as he has, which is a testament to his potential, so whatever the outcome of this season, he won't be disappointed because of it. After class, we will always give him enough credit.”

As for Barcelona's signing target this season, the outside world is rumored to be Arsenal's core midfielder Cesc Fabregas. Laporta said ambiguously, Barcelona is a big family, and we welcome those who go abroad. Wanderer, go home!”

However, he also said that the initiative in the negotiation lies in Arsenal's hands!

Regarding Ibrahimovic, Laporta said that he would continue to discuss with the coaching staff, but he refused to admit that Ibrahimovic was a parallel import, but only said that the Swedish forward has not yet fully integrated into Barcelona's tactical system, which will take time.

But this summer, the outside world has linked Barcelona with many forwards, such as Chelsea's Torres and Robinho, Athletic Bilbao's Llorente, Manchester United's Rooney and Carlos Tevez, and Arsenal's Van Persie. , and even Real Madrid's Aguero, are all famous first-class forwards in today's football.

However, these players all have an obvious characteristic. They are expensive. If you want to get any of these players, it is impossible to take them away without a check of tens of millions of euros. Moreover, if these players come, they may not be better than Yi. The layout is good and he can adapt to Barcelona's tactics.

So now there are different voices within Barcelona. Some people think that Ibrahimovic should be sold directly, while others say that they should continue to give confidence to the Swedes. There are great differences. It is said that Guardiola himself is also very conflicted.

But one thing is very clear. Barcelona must recruit in the midfield and central defender positions in the new season. Cáceres, who introduced a large sum of money a season ago, has been abandoned by Guardiola. He now wants to find a new player. center back.

Cesc Fabregas is the top central defender. This was also the bargaining chip that Laporta offered at the Barcelona members' meeting not long ago. This bargaining chip temporarily calmed the emotions of the Barcelona members and made Laporta temporarily lose his chairmanship. It has been stabilized, but everyone knows that once arsenic leaks occur again in the Derby of the Century, they will not know.

There is no doubt that, as Rosell said, Laporta is drawing big cakes to satisfy the hunger of Barcelona members. The money to buy the big cakes comes from the bank, but the biggest problem is that Laporta himself does not need to pay for these at all. Debt responsibility.
