The old man was sitting in a studio as warm as spring. He was the only one in the empty field. On the big screen in front of him, the highlights of Manchester United forward Ruud van Nistelrooy's recent games after his return from injury were playing.
Since the Magic Birds entered the Premier League, Ferguson has felt that life has been difficult. Although he was determined to compete with the young coach, the reality was before him. Although the team's financial situation is not bad, it is far from Chelsea's deep pockets.
The current deal involving Ruud van Nistelrooy can be considered a highlight in Sir Alex Ferguson¡¯s transfer history. Ruud van Nistelrooy¡¯s light at Manchester United has only dimmed until now. However, Sir Alex always said that his body no longer allowed him to train a new generation of players, which meant that his time was running out.
Manchester United must make changes, otherwise, Ferguson would not be happy to have to live by the looks of others in the league like now.
Replace with a new image data.
This is information about Park Ji-sung from the Eindhoven team in the Dutch League. This Korean's playing style made Sir Alex Ferguson's eyes shine.
I don¡¯t know much about Park Ji-sung. I can only say that for a forward who is almost out of the bench, he can only seize the rare opportunities to play and in a limited time, he can execute the call very well. The coach's tactical intentions, this is definitely a good player for any coach.
Of course, this is not a talented player.
¡°If he had discovered such a player a few years earlier, Ferguson would have had the intention to train the Korean into a midfielder with strong running ability. In his eyes, such a player is a forward. What a waste.
But judging from the current performance, the Koreans are still in his eyes.
??Just leaning back on the chair with his eyes closed, the old gentleman felt a little headache again.
What Manchester United currently lacks is not a striker. The growth of Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo has been enough to make up for Manchester United's lack of offensive line. Several veterans on the offensive line can still hold on physically and will not be a problem for a few more years.
But who will be the next Manchester United captain? Or who is Manchester United's next core?
This is what Ferguson is concerned about.
The Chinese in Liverpool were the focus of Ferguson's attention, and it was just one step away. Send the Chinese into the Red Army camp. Now it really makes the old Lord regret his guts.
Thinking about it now, wasn¡¯t it the assistant coach who was fired recently who said ¡°Chinese people are unreliable¡± that made Sir Alex hesitate?
It¡¯s better now. The media who ridiculed Liverpool for renting a player who was not their own for millions are now praising the Spaniard¡¯s boldness and carefulness. Not to mention millions. Now it costs tens of millions and there are many people waiting in line.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Not to mention the old faces, only a few of the newcomers who have emerged are really worth using. In the eyes of this group of European giants, they are really not picky enough.
In Ferguson¡¯s information channels, the Chinese are now as popular as Ronaldo.
Think about it, two assists in five consecutive games. What kind of incredible data is this! Don¡¯t forget, there are valuable assists like the Champions League.
?The biggest discovery in football this year is none other than this.
The old Sir Alex sometimes lamented that if he wanted Koreans, he would have to wait for someone to do so. But is this Chinese? I'm afraid it's very difficult.
If nothing else, the Germans will not give up easily. They have pursued it once last year, but they are not confident enough. I am afraid they will be more determined this year and may even come up with the budget for the next few years.
Ferguson also wants to be luxurious. But when such an issue was submitted to a high-level meeting, not many people raised their hands in favor.
The old man understands what is going on.
Spending huge sums of money to introduce a young player is a big risk. In fact, for this group of people, their favorite model is probably the Arsenal model. Look at the team run by the French, who are responsible for their own profits and losses. , it can still be somewhat profitable, which senior executive wouldn¡¯t like it!
Football, a money-investing sport, was actually played like this by Wenger.
Ferguson was amazed but dismissive at the same time. He knows very well that this model may be able to dominate for a while, but if it continues for a long time, it may be a precursor to decline. Wenger is just resting on his laurels now, and Ferguson has clearly seen his inability to succeed!
No matter how good your vision is, if you are unwilling to invest, the players will leave you sooner or later; if you don't keep strong players, the team's performance will not be maintained, so it will only decline day by day.
Ferguson can sometimes understand the mentality of his old rival who enjoys success in front of others but suffers behind others, but in that case he can onlyThe feeling is indescribable!
Now, the Chinese people¡¯s problem is before Ferguson, and he has to make a good decision. Should we turn the tide and take advantage of the great opportunity after this season to introduce players, or should we give up with our hands raised? This is a question worth thinking about.
¡¡
On April 19, Alonso, who had almost recovered from his injury after playing at home, finally felt the long-lost comeback.
Facing the challenge from Tottenham, Alonso is determined to make a shining debut in such a game.
A substitute position, for Alonso, this is good news.
First of all, for him who has not played for a long time, being a substitute is the most normal thing.
???????????????????????? But at this time when some veterans in the team are experiencing physical problems after the Champions League, he, the former main player, did not start. This is another way of looking at himself.
What is reasonable when it comes to others is a bit wrong when it comes to Alonso.
Maybe¡¡
Alonso looked at the Chinese walking towards the center of the field. Without him, he might have appeared in the starting lineup, but now, he was sitting on the bench.
After bidding farewell to the competition for a long time, what awaits me is not a perfect appearance, but a kind of shortcoming.
Benitez was sitting nearby, and he could understand Alonso's inner doubts.
"For the two of you, I can't choose. If possible, I will put you on the court at the same time. But your injury is good. I don't want you to go back to the injured list again. You know, we are extremely There¡¯s a lack of players who can play.¡±
??Looking at the lineup sent by Benitez for this game, you will know that Liverpool, after passing the Champions League, cannot hide the sadness of their lack of substitutes.
Midfielder Riise did not appear in the squad. As long as Benitez wants to take another step forward in the Champions League, he must give the young veteran plenty of rest time.
Hamann is burdened by injuries and physical fitness and will continue to rest in this game.
so. In Benitez's midfield lineup, Gerrard is paired with Lin Shaodong, Nunez and Warnock; the situation of the defenders is relatively better. They are still an unbeatable foursome; on the front line, Garcia is back, and Morientes, a guy who can only play in the league, finally stands firm in this position again.
Looking at the opponent again, Robbie Keane's leading offensive lineup, plus two "Davies" Spurs, are definitely like their names, they will be stabbed accidentally.
For Tottenham, they do have a very good advantage in waiting for work. But this is Liverpool's home court, and the team wants to take away three points here. They are all scarred. Juventus is a lesson learned from this experience.
It¡¯s just that compared to the Champions League, which is a road with no return, Liverpool, which has already secured the fourth position in the league, will not struggle in today¡¯s game, right?
On the one hand, Tottenham people want to take all three points, but on the other hand, they want their opponents to let go.
After the game starts. The two sides have been stuck in a stalemate, lacking good opportunities to score goals.
Lin Shaodong, who is sitting in the middle, understands that the Champions League game has exhausted the energy of these big men, and the pressure in this game is not high, so they are in such a state.
Gerald also felt a little lazy, as if he couldn't run.
Take a look at Lin Shaodong¡¯s pass. He responded somewhat nonchalantly, and then made a long pass forward.
He felt that it was a good choice to hand the football to Morientes who was eager to score at this time.
It¡¯s just a pity that Tottenham defender Edman got in front of Morientes and stole the football.
Morientes waved his hand impatiently. Gerrard's pass just now was too careless, and the opponent discovered the passing intention from the beginning.
But when he turned around, Morientes discovered that Tottenham defender Edman did not steal the ball and hand it over to other core players to organize the offense like a normal defender. Been carrying it for a long time.
I don¡¯t know if Edman¡¯s move was a bit bold, or if his approach shocked the Liverpool players.
They actually let him take the ball all the way to Liverpool's second half. It was only then that Gerrard reacted. He rushed over fiercely, trying to intercept the opponent.
"How courageous is this defender?"
The on-site commentator Simon was a little surprised and said: "Oh my God, there was no one guarding him all the way. Everyone seemed to be ignoring him. I don't know."?What happened? Oh, Steven rushed over. "
Gerrard's attack made Lin Shaodong stand still, because beside him, Tottenham's core Keane was still there, and it was this person he had to be careful about.
only¡¡
Although Gerrard's attack was a bit late, the football was in a relatively safe position after all, but no one expected that the nervous Edman would actually make a move before Gerrard.
"Is this a pass?"
Simon was still a little confused, but when he looked along the arc of the football, he was stunned for a moment: "No, this is a shot!"
There was a shot 40 meters away from the goal. In front of Edman, only Gerrard stretched his foot at the last moment.
In Dudek¡¯s first game back from injury, what awaited him was this shot from 40 meters away.
At that time, he was still guessing that Tottenham's final blow must have been completed by Robbie Keane, but he did not expect that it was actually this defender!
The football ball drew a perfect arc in the sky above Anfield, and then flew straight into the upper right corner of the door.
Dudek had no reaction.
Tottenham lead 1-0.
The scene at Anfield was quiet. Less than fifteen minutes after the opening, Liverpool conceded a goal at home! (To be continued)! ~!
