Chapter 414 Rough Competition

Blues Chelsea's postponement of the game was effective, and Manchester United did not take any points at Stamford Bridge.

In the next game, the back-to-back away challenge to Liverpool is another tough battle!

For Manchester United, the most direct chain reaction of losing to Chelsea is that Vidic has no chance to play against Liverpool on the weekend. The strongest part of the Red Devils than the Premier League is the rock-solid defense, but in Anfield, their defense will be forced to attack. Leo and Evans continued to recover, and Brown became the first choice to replace Vidic: "I don't think Leo can catch up with Liverpool. Brown will appear." Ferguson said after the game on Tuesday.

Vidiqi has performed well most of the game. When Torres played for Liverpool, he scored three goals from Manchester United in four games, and Vidic witnessed it painful times. However, his continuous impact on the three Chelsea strikers, including Anelka, Drogba and Torres, was effective in the frontal blocking and close pressure of the black people. He was a little reckless with Ramirez's rules before the end of the game, which was also a precursor to the near-disintegration of Manchester United's defense after a long period of heavy pressure.

When Ferdinand was absent, Vidic supported the backbone of Manchester United's defense. Once he was absent, the defensive responsibility fell on the shoulder of the young player Smarin.

Smarin's merits and demerits in this game were met. He not only assisted Vidic for nearly an hour, but also sent a penalty in the penalty area. However, there was a shortage of soldiers, and Ferge could only continue to put him at the front desk on weekends. Ferguson has high hopes for Smarling, who has encountered fierce battles and has another chance to make up for it this week.

When Giggs replaced Scholes in the 70th minute, a legendary record was born. Although the final outcome of the game was the same as 20 years ago (the Red Devils lost), after tying with Bobi Charlton's 606 league appearances, Giggs has become the first person in Manchester United's century history.

20 years ago, Giggs was a 17-year-old boy. With fluffy curly hair, he is thin and looks weak. On March 2, 1991, when he was standing on the sideline of Old Trafford to replace the injured Dennis Erwin, some fans whispered: Who is this guy? AT THAT TIME, MANN'S DIRECTOR, MICHAEL MATTON, WAS SITTING IN THE BOX. HE HEARD OF A WELSHMAN NAMED Ryan RIGGS IN THE FIRST TEAM, WITH LIGHTNING SPEED AND A BUSTING TECHNIQUE, BUT WHEN HE STANDING BESIDE THE VAN strikeR DANNY WALLERS (163CM), MICHAEL COULDN'T HELP LAUGH: IT'S TRUE. "Giant" front line!

At that time, no one expected that Giggs would witness the legend of Manchester United in the next 20 years. In the past two decades, 133 teammates have come and go. Mark Hughes and Steve Bruce, who are close friends when they first joined the team, have become well-known coaches in the Premier League. The new Hernandez can be his son in terms of age, but Giggs is still trying to extend his career life. Like another left-hand Ivy Martini, he keeps refreshing records and challenges the limits of his body.

When Giggs entered the historical stage of football, Manchester United was in a turbulent but hopeful transition period.

At that time, Old Trafford was not what it is now. The turf was unevenly high and short, some gravel ** were outside, and the muddy place did not reach the ankle. The city of Manchester is still in the silence of the post-industrial era. The surrounding area of the city is far less prosperous than the current prosperity of buildings.

The Welshman did not join the best team in England. At that time, it belonged to Liverpool. Their Northwest Derby opponent was the real football center of England. Everton and Liverpool dominated England in the 1980s.

Giggs liked Manchester United and was influenced by his grandmother. When he was a child, he was full of disgust for training on the artificial grass in Manchester City, not only because of the venue, but also because of his deep resistance to Manchester's sky blue. Being able to join Manchester United fulfilled Giggs' wish. At that time, the young Welsh faintly felt the great changes that happened to the Red Devil. He could smell a fresh smell and the strong desire of his young friends for victory.

He is the first person in Ferguson's well-cultivated youth army after taking over the Red Devil's whip.

In the first two years after he took the main force of the first team, Beckham, Neville Brothers, Scholes and other players who later became known as the '99 Golden Generation emerged.

Therefore, Giggs has witnessed the birth and rise of the Manchester United dynasty in a real sense, and it is still continuing. In the past 20 years, he took 48 medals, some of which were given to the Manchester United Museum, and the rest were randomly stuffed into his wardrobe by Giggs. Giggs is not a fanatical "gold collector". He does not have a common "wall of honor" in England. Once, in order to find a league gold medal, he rummaged through the box and finally found it under a pile of clothes.

Bobbi Charlton described Giggs as a "strange of modern football". The Welsh people are not the fastest, their technology is not the most gorgeous, and their appearance is not the most handsome.

But Giggs is unique to Manchester United. "Thinking that he has been at his peak for 20 years, few people can do this." Ferguson said.

Giggs is lucky to start early. On the stage in early March 1991, the Welsh was only 17 years old.

In the 1991/92 season, Giggs has become the main player of the Red Devils and won the PFA Best Rookie Award, but he is only old enough to play in the Youth FA Cup, and the Welshman did appear in the final of this Cup.

Compared with the current youth training system, the mechanism of the youth team 20 years ago was much simpler and more casual. "It's impossible to be absent from class to play football," Giggs said. One day when it snowed heavily, Giggs thought that the youth team training was going to be cancelled, but the coach shouted that the players went out to play football for 30 minutes. "If this is the case now, the coach will definitely be fired." The Welsh recalls.

Under the simple youth training mechanism at that time, the 17-year-old child had not fully formed.

Their technology still needs to be elaborated, and the sense of location is not so clear. If Giggs hadn't been in the huge transition period of Manchester United, he would have "continue to practice his right foot in the youth team" because he is a natural left foot player.

The Welshman's position is not so clear. Both the striker and the left forward can play. For example, in the debut show and Everton, he is the front line with Wallace. But Ferguson couldn't wait. In 1991, "the honor room has been empty for too long, and even the League Cup is a great achievement."

At that time, the Lord had been in the throne for five years and only won one FA Cup. Bruce, Mark Hughes, Brian Robson and other players are all gone, and their careers are coming to an end. The team needs fresh blood, and Giggs meets the best era as soon as he debuts.

This curly little guy is very welcome in the locker room, especially the Welsh Gang - Mark Hughes and Clayton Blackmore. When they first entered the first team, they warned their teammates, "Don't bully that Welsh child." Brian Robson also loves Giggs. During the team's team game, he told the defender angrily, "If you want to fix Ryan, ask me if I promise or not first."

With the protection of old players such as Hughes and Robson, Giggs completed the run-in more calmly and outlined his mark in the great era when Manchester United was about to take off.

In fact, Everton was also prepared 20 years ago. You know, Giggs was a little famous in England before his official debut.

Toffee right-back Dave Watson said, "We know there is a little guy on the bench of Manchester United. He is very fast. The coach asked us to be on guard against him." So, as soon as Giggs appeared on the stage, Dave tried his best to give him a horse and "swang me a door and open his knee" from behind. This is the only memory of Giggs' debut. "He seems to be reminding me that welcome to the adult football world!"

But Giggs is too fast and is good at using this advantage reasonably.

He has a sense of physical advantage and balance inherited from his black father, which is especially important for a full-back, which makes it difficult for him to fall in the collision of the defender, and he always stands up faster than the defender and continues to move.

Before the systematic football training, Giggs' task of playing football was very simple. " Stay on the left side, wait for the ball to pass and then pass the opponent's rushing up..." Sometimes the team loses a big score because "I stay on the left, but no one can pass the ball to me smoothly."

The breakthrough and tape of the magnificent generation is a sign of Giggs in his youth. The pinnacle is the goal he scored in the 1999 Arsenal and Manchester United FA Cup finals. But Giggs is not a traditional winger like C. Rowe, so it is not common for Giggs to break the door with the speed of several people, which makes this goal more and more precious.

Speaking of Giggs' 20 years, this classic goal is unavoidable, but it is also a very different one. He is not just playing football with speed. When he mentions the angel flying on the left, he may think that Piret may also be the famous Robben, but Giggs gradually reduced his dependence on speed after the age of 20 and learned to play football with his brain.

As he grew older, his physical function gradually deteriorated, and Giggs's wisdom and atmosphere made him one of the masters.

The record he left may be surpassed in the future; but he will always be unique to Manchester United. Although they have not left yet, fans have begun to miss this 20-year-old legend.

With the likely departure of Ferguson, will the legendary life of the generation of Giggs become a thing of the past?

It is reported that Mourinho's prospects in Real Madrid are becoming more and more confusing. Due to the tension with high-level relationships with clubs such as Bardano, the madman may leave the team in the summer. When talking about the possibility of coaching in the future, Mourinho said that he would not go to the sworn enemy team of his former club.

Italian media reported that Serie A Rome wants to introduce Mourinho, while in England, Mourinho's name is the most mentioned in the discussion about Ferguson's future successor.

Madman said not long ago that he would never coach in Barcelona. Now he has expanded this category and named two teams as examples. If I leave Real Madrid, I want to coach a big club in the Premier League or Italy. Mourinho said, "But for those teams (old owners) that I used to feel happy, I won't coach their sworn enemies."

"For example, because I am in charge of the Pope, I will never coach Barcelona, and after Inter Milan has such an experience, I will not go to Juventus."

Mourinho did not talk about the specific example of the Premier League. As we all know, he still has a deep affection for Chelsea. Does this mean that he will not go to the Blues' sworn enemy Manchester United in the future? Of course, in the football circle, someone will say something every day, but most of the comments will become the past. There is no "never" on the football field, or the most realistic sentence that often hangs on the mouths of most coaches and players is: you never know what will happen in the future.

Perhaps it is the rumors before the game that Manchester United can't find any state of the game.

At Anfield, Liverpool taught Manchester United a good lesson. What is rough football?

Nani was even shoveled out of the game by Liverpool's deputy Carragher. It can be clearly seen in the camera that the Portuguese were kicked and cried!

Manchester United lost 1-3 away to Liverpool and suffered two consecutive defeats in the league. In the case of one round of multiple matches, they were only 3 points ahead of the second-ranked Arsenal. But what was more uncomfortable than the defeat was that Manchester United midfielder Nani was shoveled by Liverpool's deputy Carrag in the first half, causing him to be carried directly off the field on a stretcher.

After the game, Manchester United coach Ferguson may have been angry, and the Lord did not say a word to the media. Guardian reporter Daniel Taylor wrote on his Twitter, "Manchester United officials said that Sir Alex Ferguson will not say anything to the media after the game, including Manchester United TV. Manchester United players were also ordered not to say anything to the media. Carragher waited outside the Manchester United locker room after the game, ready to apologize to Nani for his shovel.

Although Manchester United players were ordered not to express any opinions on the media, Manchester United's defensive leader Ferdinand, who was absent due to injury, wrote on his Twitter, "Today is a bad result, and we have no reason (for losing)."

According to Manchester United's official website, Manchester United will check Nani's injury at the Carrington training base on Monday morning local time. A club spokesman confirmed that Nani had a "deep wound" on his leg after being shoveled by Carragher.

For Manchester United, the only comfort is that Valencia's comeback is imminent. The Ecuadorian appeared in the crowd of Manchester United's away challenge to Liverpool, but finally failed to enter the list of 18 players.

It's so disappointing - after Manchester United's 1-3 defeat to Liverpool, Sky Sports gave such an evaluation of Rafael's performance. Objectively speaking, this comment has been very euphemistic. Look at the fans' ratings of Brazilian players, 3.9 points, which was once regarded as Gary Neville perfect. The successor Rafal did nothing in the 75 minutes of his appearance, and more importantly, the hot-tempered Brazilian player caused trouble again...

At the end of the first half, Carragher shoveled Nani, and the Portuguese magic wings were directly carried out of the field by the staff with stretchers, which made Manchester United full of anger, but Rafal vented his resentment in the most irrational way.

In the injury stoppage time, Rafa first did not close his foot to compete with Maxi Rodriguez. The latter gave the ball to Lucas and quickly closed his foot to avoid Rafa, but Lucas was not so lucky. Although he passed the ball for the first time, Rafa's ferocious frontal shovel took his Brazilian compatriots. Put it down hard.

Liverpool players were about to surround Rafal, and Scott, who was the first to bear the brunt, pushed Rafafar away without mercy. Rafa was not weak. Like a fierce Zhang Fei, he rushed up and bumped into an opponent who was one head higher than himself. The two sides almost formed a group fight, if it weren't for a few old teammates in the teammates. Face-to-face mediation, I'm afraid this red war is really going to be red. In the end, Rafal only got a yellow card, which can be regarded as a escape. If a red card is shown directly, Rafa will be banned for three games. According to the regulations, this ban applies to all domestic events, including the key battles between Manchester United and Arsenal in the FA Cup a week later.

Ferguson once said with a little regret: "Rafar is an impulsive child."

Indeed, this gifted Brazilian general is a rare full-back talent, but what is disproportionate to his seemingly amiable baby face is his bad bad temper.

In last season's Champions League knockout match, in the second round between Manchester United and Bayern, Rafaar successfully killed Ribery. As a result, the rising Brazilians were too excited in defense and took the initiative to apply for a red card to leave the field, which indirectly caused the team's exit. This season, in the focus of Manchester United's away challenge to Tottenham Hotspur, Rafaar successfully restricted Bell's play on the sidelines, but was sent off for two dangerous fouls, causing Manchester United's territory to be bombarded by their opponents in the last 30 minutes.

Manchester derby, Lafar almost started with Manchester City boss Tevez. In the face of Tevez, who is known as the "beast", the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers and swears with his opponent. Finally, when Tevez has walked away, Rafa still roars, which shows that this 90 How hot the temperament of the young general is.

Compared with the previous bursts, Rafal's rampage in this game is even more unreasonable.

After all, Rafale's previous confrontation with his opponents was that he had the capital to play well at the competitive level to indulge. Ribery, Bell and Tevez did not get any advantage of Lafar, but this time, Rafale was humiliated by Suarez, Merelles and Glenn Johnson. Suarez's Maradona assists began with shaking Rafafar, and what embarrassed the Brazilian young player was that he was close to Suarez at that time, but he still couldn't stop his opponent from turning around, and he was pierced by the Uruguayan.

In the 75th minute, Ferguson replaced Raffaar with O'Shea, who had a more stable defense but mediocre assist ability. When the team's score was behind, the replacement of the Lord obviously announced that he was disarmed in advance, but he did not want to continue to lose the ball, because the right side of Rafaar's guard really had a tendency to be blown up by his opponent. Farr's temper is difficult to guarantee that he will not make dangerous moves in a hurry. Since Rafaar already has a yellow card, Manchester United will probably have to face a situation where one less person will play, and a banned player will be added to the scarred defense line.

From Ferguson's point of view, this substitution is out of protection for the team and Rafal, but for Rafal himself, this is undoubtedly a shameful end.

Lafar's performance in most of this season's games is remarkable, but in the face of the reborn Liverpool attack group, Lafar, who is still young, failed to pass the big test.

However, there is absolutely no doubt about Lafar's talent, and Ferguson gave Lafar a tolerant environment to grow up. Rafaar has performed very well this season. We can clearly see his progress. You know, he is only 20 years old, and few people can stay stable at this age, but Rafaar has done a good job in this regard. The old lord did not hide his love for Lafar. "Maybe he will make mistakes now, but we value his future more."

For Manchester United, which is currently in the blood exchange period, paying this tuition fee for the future of the defense line will definitely be worth it.

Of course, the premise is that Rafaar can learn to restrain his bad temper as he grows older. Otherwise, no matter how much he makes progress in the competitive angle, he may cause irreparable losses to the team due to irrational behavior, and he can only wander between fierce generals and villains, and will never be able to become a superstar. The palace.

Li Yu scored Manchester United's only goal in this game, but Manchester United was obviously unhappy on the 9th after the game. In the face of many questions from reporters, Li Yu only said, "This is not a football game, but more like a football game!"

Why did Manchester United No. 9 answer like this? Look at what happened to him in the game and you can see why Manchester United No. 9 was so angry!

Constant rough fouls, it's enough not to get the referee's decision. Even the fans at home are using boos to make Manchester United No. 9 hurry up. This is not acting good or not. It's really been shoveled, and the fans at the scene have no respect at all. The same is true of Liverpool's players. There is no skill. The game was full of rough fouls, and the final result was that Manchester United had more yellow cards than the initiative.
