Chapter 389 Ferguson's doubts
After Li Tongfan's temporary adjustment, as many as eight or nine members of the Magpie Legion have retreated to their own half-time, and the number of half-time players can at least compress the Manchester United players' sprint and daching space to the limit!
And once the breakthrough and tearing ability of Manchester United's strongest ace C. Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs is greatly limited, Newcastle's goal looks much safer!
However, this change made the Red Devil fans in the stands send out endless boos!
Because the first 30 minutes of the attack made them extremely enjoyable, but now Newcastle suddenly shrank his neck like a frightened turtle and began to defend and counterattack, and the game scene became dull in an instant!
"... Crazy Li has been restricted by Manchester United's offensive... Haha, he is conservative and scared!! When this man, who is overestimated as [God on the side of the football field], begins to be in awe of his opponent, then he is nothing!! Oh, there is no doubt that the magpie will lose!"
On the commentary table, [Li Hei] Mike Donald gloated!
But Donald didn't know that as soon as his words came out on TV, he didn't know how many people scolded "stupid" with contempt!!!
At least Ferguson is a little irritable at this moment!
Because the madman Li's change made Manchester United a little trouble!
Before the game, he once said that Li, a madman who has learned to defend, will become more terrible. This is not a psychological war with compliments or other ulterior motives, but a real evaluation!
Now, when the madman Li abandons those flashy and grandstanding sharp tactics and becomes more pragmatic, this game is a little troublesome for Manchester United. At least Ferguson's goal of defeating the Magpie Legion in the first half can't be achieved!
If you can't kill Newcastle in the first half, you will have a long dream in the second half... on the other side.
At this time, Li Tongfan is still thinking about how to defeat Manchester United. Although this small formation tactical adjustment just now has brought some protection to Newcastle's goal... However, the score at this time is only 1:1, and Lao Li needs a victory without It's a draw!
Defense is always the most negative approach!
Even if you add the word counterattack after the defense, it's the same!
In the face of a strong enemy, a big score victory is always the best way to boost the morale of the team and capture the hearts of the fans!
... Forced - 45 minutes later, the first half of the game was finally over!
More than 60,000 Manchester United fans in the stands stopped cheering for the team and turned to the "conservative and shameful" Newcastle boos... While Newcastle fans were like tenacious grass in the stone, under the suppression of five times the number of Red Devils fans to the madman Li and the Magpie Warriors. Give a round of applause!
The players of the two teams were sweating profusely as if they had just climbed out of the water, or walked quickly or slowly to the player's passage. In the seats on both sides of the low player passage, Manchester United fans stretched out their palms and applauded with the Red Devils players like heroes returning from the battle. Many fans stuffed paper and pens to ask for the idol's signature... Ferguson disappeared from the player at the moment of the whistle at the end of the first half of the game. In the channel!
And when Newcastle players walk through the player channel, the hammers are greeted by the raised middle finger and ferocious faces, because the fans here are all red. Another little Lori, about four or five years old, rode in the neck of her bearded fat father and stretched out her middle finger to Juan Marta, and her mouth spewed out the international greeting lingua franca with a "F" head... This scene was captured by the satellite broadcast!
However, almost all English fans are proud of it, because it is part of fan culture and football culture. People don't mind taking their little baby to the court to feel the fanatical atmosphere and love... Maybe the little Lori who just appeared in the picture is a Where is the well-behaved little princess who is loved by everyone!
In the first half, the last scene captured by the satellite broadcast was the figure of the madman Li turning into the player's channel in the applause and cheers of Manchester United fans!
Yes, Li Tongfan has enjoyed a treatment that no other Newcastlean can imagine at La Trafford!
Or because of the just-concluded European Cup 2008!
As long as he is not standing in the role of the enemy in the game, this man will at least enjoy such treatment in any stadium in England for at least 20 years in the next 20 years, because he has fulfilled his 44-year-old dream of a football power in the three British Isles!
... When he stepped into the player channel step by step, Li Tongfan was still thinking about how to defeat Manchester United. The cheers and applause in his ear were getting farther and farther away and gradually inaudible... Every brain cell in the scalp was moving rapidly at a speed of 80 miles per second, and the picture of the first half of the game seemed to be backwards. Like a film, it appears over and over again. Every attack and every mistake of Manchester United is infinitely amplified... Lao Li is summarizing, summarizing Manchester United's strongest points and weaknesses!
A layer of fine beads of sweat appeared in the place of the temple. If you continue to maintain such high-intensity thinking, God knows whether the bleeding beads will continue!
There is a gap between Newcastle's player experience and team cooperation with Manchester United, which is a problem that cannot be ignored. The positive regret will definitely suffer a disadvantage, so that the sword will come out of the side and take a strange route to win!
But how should this sword go against the front?
A gradually clear frame is slowly formed in Li Tongfan's brain!
............one day later.
Night.
The moon stars are rare, and the birds return to the nest!
The bright moonlight shone on the wooden floor through the veil of the huge floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, as if there was a layer of flawless white frost on the ground, and there was a coldness in the whole bedroom... Ferguson sat quietly on the sofa, still thinking deeply about the game that ended a day ago.
Until this moment, the Red Devils Godfather did not figure out why Manchester United lost the game a day ago, and lost so miserably!
Before this game, he had three matches with the madman Li!
The first two of them were in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in the era of Real Madrid. At that time, Real Madrid was strong, and Ronaldo and Beckham in the team were in good shape. At that time, even if they lost to the madman Li, it was because of Real Madrid's strength. The reason why it is much stronger than Manchester United, which was full of wounded soldiers at that time!
Last season, Manchester United lost to Manchester United at home because Manchester United had locked in the league championship morale decline and lack of initiative, and in that game, he despised Juan Mata, who was used by the madman Li as a strange soldier. As a result, he was disturbed by the Spanish boy. Success... Three fights and three failures, Ferguson always thought that it didn't explain the problem!
But what about this fourth time?
The strong Manchester United, the young Newcastle... Why did he still lose to the madman Li? Is it possible that as the media said, this Chinese man is shrouded in this magical magic from the mysterious East. As long as he wants, he can continue to win?
Bullshit!
Absolutely bullshit!
The football coach industry has ruled Manchester United for more than 20 years. Ferguson knows how difficult it is to be an invincible head coach than anyone on the planet. Any team has a decline. This is not based on the will of the head coach, which is better than Asen who swept the Premier League at that time. Na also only maintained 49 long-term undefeated, and this is already a big miracle in the world's top league... What's the problem?
Reach out and turn on the table lamp in the living room, and then lift the neatly organized pile of newspapers on the sofa in front of him, which almost contained large and small professional football media in England. Ferguson began to look carefully at the reports about the former Battle of Old Trafford.
Even if a person is intelligent, there are omissions. Although football reporters like to make up gossip, there are many football experts with good vision and insight. Ferguson hopes to find the answer to losing from the reporters' reports!
This is a habit he developed 20 years ago, and in the past 20 years, this method has indeed helped him solve a lot of doubts!
This time, Ferguson also hopes to get the answer he wants in the newspaper!
Paul Giessen, the Premier League chief football reporter of The Sun, said in his column that the reason why Manchester United lost the game was that they did not pay attention to the German striker Lucas Po Dorski, who had been in the continuous slump in Newcastle, so that the sudden outbreak of Po Dorski in the second half of the game helped the Magpie Legion. It took away a victory... Ferguson shook his head gently.
He himself knows that he did not despise anyone in the game a day ago after the lesson of Juan Mata last season. Although Poorsky continued to be sluggish before the game, he paid enough attention to the German in the tactical arrangement before the game... Therefore, this is not Manchester United's loss. The reason for losing the game.
Ferguson gently put the Sun aside, and the next one is the Observer... Steven Adam, the famous deputy editor-in-chief of the Observer, believes that the reason for Manchester United's loss is that the core players C Ronaldo and Rooney suddenly became sluggish in the second half and could not make it for Newcastle. The continuous pressure gave the madman Li enough space to command the Magpie Legion to achieve an incredible victory... After thinking for a moment, Ferguson also rejected Steven Adam's view.
Because according to the analysis of the staff of the Manchester United coaching team who are responsible for technical statistics of the game after the game, C-Ronaldo broke through 22 of 32 one-on-one in the game, 11 shots (including 3 free kicks) 7 shots within the goal frame, 88 passes. The success rate is 82.4%... Such a state is at the peak in any previous game... However, even if C-Ronaldo maintained such a state until the end of the game, he still did not win a victory for Manchester United Salle. The other two front-court aces Rooney and Giggs are no worse than C-Ronaldo... Therefore, the status of the main players is not the reason why Manchester United lost the game!
Put aside the Observer in your hand, and the next one is The Times. Bruce Barbara's "Fatal Window" column is in your eyes...
