Football King Bale

Manchester United, which qualified from the Champions League two rounds ahead of schedule, can finally focus entirely on the league. And it just so happens that they will also usher in a consecutive double-match week: from November 6th to November 20th, in just two weeks, Manchester United will play 4 Premier League games.

At 3 pm GMT on November 6, Manchester United will face the Premier League match against Wolves. This is the 11th round of the season, and it is also an ordinary but extraordinary league, because this day is the 24th anniversary of the Red Devils godfather Ferguson taking over Old Trafford.

When he was introduced to the British media as the new coach of Manchester United by the club's former chairman Martin Edwards on November 6, 1986, Ferguson certainly did not expect that he would still be in this position 24 years later, especially when the team failed in his first official game. Losing to Oxford United and being defeated by Norwich in the second week. Whiteside's alcoholism and second-to-last ranking in the league constitute the memories of Sir Alex Ferguson's first game. Today, Ferguson has already become a generational coach, in terms of the number of trophies and honors. Already the number one player in British football history.

In the 25th red year, the Wolves came to challenge in the first game. Bell's shot and pass helped Manchester United celebrate Ferguson's milestone moment with victory. However, the most dazzling person in this game is not Bale, but Park Ji-sung. South Korea's Tieshu actually scored twice in this game, which made Ferguson very happy.

Although the victory made the old coach very happy, time is not forgiving after all. Many details show that the old Sir Alex is really old. Data shows that Ferguson's walking distance on the sidelines is much less than when he was young. Many times when he asked players on the field to change formations or deliver news, he would ask deputy coach Phelan and others to do errands.

But Sir Alex Ferguson's passion for Manchester United and football remains. He cheers enthusiastically every time his disciples score a goal, and the camera can easily capture footage of him having fun with the whole team, although the data has made it difficult to calculate how many times this was his first time. Cheer for your team to score a goal.

24 years ago, Ferguson was nicknamed a bumpkin by the players, from head to toe. According to Davenport, the main player at the time, Ferguson was as nervous as a cat when he announced the game list.

The Red Devils had poor performance and low income back then, and Old Trafford was not as bright as it is today. What little money they had had been ruined by former coaches such as Atkinson. After Ferguson came to power, he found that he wanted people without asking for money, let alone money. The youth training base had been abandoned for many years. At that time, he even asked angrily: "What did they leave me? A pile of shit!"

Poaching was impossible, so Ferguson could only follow Sir Busby's old path of personally cultivating new players, observing youth games and lobbying door-to-door to recruit good talents. It takes a long time to achieve results in youth training, but once successful, you can enjoy it for decades. Sharp and Giggs took over first, and then sold Kanchelski, Hughes and Ince to become the Neville brothers, Beckham, Scholes waited for the 1992 generation to make way.

Fans may not understand that Ferguson achieved nothing in the first three seasons. In September 1989, he was defeated 1:5 in the derby match, followed by the elimination of the League Cup. The public's "anti-Ferguson" wave reached its peak. Fans even threw down their sheets and asked Sir Alex to pack up his bags. If not The board of directors was patient and did not fire people, and the future Manchester United dynasty was out of the question.

Looking back at the past 24 years ago today, Ferguson, who has gone through all the hardships, can certainly laugh at himself: "They didn't put my head in the oven."

………………

In the past 24 years, Ferguson has led Manchester United to dominate England and even Europe, winning 35 major and minor championships. There are no less than 50 personal honorary titles on the record. Even the most unruly Mourinho has no respect for Sir Alex Ferguson. In awe, the madman said in an interview: "When I was young, I decided to coach in England one day.

I will follow his example." Other new and old coaches also mentioned Ferguson as "model" and "legend".

No coach's future has ever been so closely linked to the rise and fall of a club. Almost everyone believes that it will not matter whether Manchester United sells Ronaldo or Rooney. As long as Ferguson is in office, Manchester United will never be able to overcome this. The sense of trust also supports the Scotsman who considered retiring eight years ago and has persisted until now. He will celebrate his 70th birthday in another year, and what is certain is that that will not be the end of Sir Alex Ferguson's coaching career. Although he once announced that he would definitely go home to drink and watch horse racing to recuperate before his seventies.

Mourinho said after the New Year: "He lives for football, and the game allows him to breathe. Manchester United is his club, and his desire for victory is the same as in the past. I don't think the day will come soon for him to say goodbye to football."

A heart that has been beating for the Red Devils for 24 years will continue to beat for Dream Theater.

Of course, the best news for Manchester United was not the 3:1 victory in this game, but the loss of Chelsea. When Chelsea lost 0:2 at the feet of Liverpool, which was in a trough, it also meant that Manchester United returned to the top of the league standings after a month.

Today, Manchester United is still undefeated in the league, with 8 wins and 3 draws, while Chelsea has 8 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses.

However, Chelsea's defeat also made Sir Alex feel that things were not perfect, because it meant that the archenemy had won three consecutive games, not only escaping the relegation zone, but also entering the top half of the league.

After winning against the Blues, the Reds have risen to 8th place in the league with 15 points with 4 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses!

………………

Another thing that makes Ferguson feel a little unhappy is that the headache of midfield organization has pushed the Red Devils into danger time and time again.

Although the score of 3:1 seemed like a complete victory, the actual process of the game was not as smooth sailing as the score showed. In fact, the Wolves once held Manchester United on their own side and could only defend themselves. This was at the Theater of Dreams and at Old Trafford with more than 70,000 fans.

In the middle of the game, the director played a scene continuously, which was the scene when Vidic blocked Milligas' shot from the edge of the penalty area and almost had an own goal. In addition, the few shots of Van der Sar occasionally showing up and shouting loudly to remind the defense are also impressive.

Beating Wolves is really a good benchmark for measuring Manchester United. Last season, the two sides met the Red Devils three times and kept a clean sheet every time. As a result, they scored two goals against Wolves in the League Cup last month. Today, they met again as a substitute. Blake penetrated Van der Sar's fingers again. In the end, Sir Alex had to send veteran Scholes, who was about to celebrate his 36th birthday this month, to put out the fire again.

Ferguson said after the game: "I only send Paul (Scholes) out when necessary. I need him to perform well after he comes out."

Look, when Scholes is not on the court, Manchester United actually has to rely on Fletcher, the engineering midfielder who used to prefer stealing, to instigate the organization. Although Fletcher has shown a tendency to develop into an all-rounder in recent years, after all, this is not a long-term goal. plan.

Although Wolves have been eliminated, next Wednesday's away challenge to rival Manchester City will be another major challenge to Manchester United. Whether the unbeaten record of the season can be continued now seems to be a big question mark. There is no Rooney, no Giggs, no Nani, no Valencia, and more importantly, Manchester United now lacks a midfield master who can take over Scholes' position. This is the most fatal.

………………

Four days later, on November 10th, at 8 pm, Manchester United ushered in the 12th round of the season and challenged their local rival Manchester City away.

This is also the first leg of the Manchester derby this season.

This game is the 156th Manchester Derby. Previously, Manchester United had a clear advantage with 64 wins, 49 draws and 42 losses. Among them, they only won 6 times against Manchester City in the 25 times in the Premier League era. In the last 4 battles between the two sides, the results were even worse. defeat.

As for Ferguson, today is the 34th league derby he has led Manchester United in. Sir Alex Ferguson's previous record was 18 wins, 9 draws and 6 losses.

In this campaign, Balotelli was absent due to suspension, Adebayor also sat on the bench at the start of the game due to injury, and Tevez served as a single arrow to face the old club; for Manchester United, Rooney and Nani continued to be absent. However, Berbatov and Scholes both returned to the starting lineup. Giggs, who had participated in the Manchester derby for 33 consecutive times, missed the game for the first time in 19 years due to unsatisfactory recovery from injuries.

In the end, Ferguson sent out a 4321 Christmas tree formation, with goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, four defenders Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand and Rafael, and Fletcher, Scholes and Carrick as a defensive midfielder. Bell and Park Ji-sung appeared on the wings, and Berbatov's single arrow shot forward.

Mancini responded tit-for-tat, and also arranged a 4321 formation, with goalkeeper Joe Hart, four defenders Jerome Boateng, Kolo Toure, Kompany, Zabaleta, and three midfielders De Jong , Yaya Toure and Barry, David Silva and Milner are on the wings, and the old Manchester United player Tevez has a single arrow forward.

Manchester United started a war of words before the league, mocking Manchester City as they would only burn money and would never be able to surpass themselves. Former Manchester United player Carlos Tevez said he would use practical actions to shut up Manchester United.

Ferguson told reporters before the game: "We all know how much money Manchester City spent. This summer they introduced 6 players and spent tens of millions of pounds. In my opinion, as long as they do not win the championship, Manchester City will They will burn endless money. When will they win the championship? Only God knows."

Scholes also echoed: "We are better than them. This will not change no matter what. All Manchester United people think this way. We don't want to see Manchester City win any championships."

Compared with Manchester United, Manchester City is much more low-key. Balotelli is suspended due to a red card and will miss the derby. Manchester United's Ryan Giggs and Nani are also absent due to injuries.

After Mansour took over Manchester City, Manchester City lost 5 of 6 derby games. Coach Mancini hopes that fans will come to support more tomorrow. He said "this way we will have more motivation to win."

Since Tevez moved to Manchester City, he has been criticized by his old teammates, saying that it was a stupid decision for him to join Manchester City. Tevez, who goes his own way, doesn't care. He told reporters: "I made the decision to transfer and I have no regrets so far."

In the last derby last season, Manchester City was beaten by Scholes in the last minute, which made them hold their breath. Tevez said: "My teammates are ready. We are going to make up for what we lost last season. We are confident."

………………

Amid the chaos, the 156th Manchester Derby whistle began.

At the beginning of the first half, Manchester City firmly controlled the ball, and Manchester United was passive on the scene. It wasn't until the 9th minute of the game that Manchester United got its first shot. Bell's long shot from outside the penalty area was directly blocked.

Manchester City made a big move in this game. In the 10th minute of the game, Zabaleta ferociously tackled Rafael in the frontcourt. Then in the 20th minute of the game, Evra He was injured by a tackle again and had to go to the sidelines for treatment. Evra had just returned to the court. One minute later, Bale was stepped on his ankle by Barry and fell to the ground in pain.

Manchester City's consecutive flagrant fouls against Manchester United players were not punished because of the referee's loose penalty standards. Bell was filled with anger and decided to teach Manchester City a lesson.

Of course, Bell will not retaliate against Manchester City players with vicious fouls, that would be too stupid.

Bell's revenge is to score Manchester City's goal!

"When you press, try to get them to pass the ball to Yaya Toure."

Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Bell called Fletcher, Scholes, Evra and others over and expressed his thoughts to his teammates.

Scholes's eyes lit up and he asked: "Are you trying to find a breakthrough from Yaya Toure?"

Bell nodded and said, "This big black guy is quite sticky."

As a typical B2B midfielder, Yaya Toure can do almost everything a dominant player can do in the game. He is physically strong, has a large defensive radius, is skillful with his feet, has long-range shots, and can break through. If we want to talk about his only bad habit on the court, it is that he likes to stick to the ball, which often delays his chances of fighting.

After the game, Bell has been observing the Ivorian's status and performance. He feels that this aspect can still be tried.

Bell has now impressed his teammates with his goals one after another. Everyone also admires him and nodded after listening to his words.

"Okay, we get it."

"I'm going to try to push their ball path to the left side."

…

Every player's pass is in a sectoral pattern. As long as one side is properly pressed when pressing, the opponent will often pass the ball to the other side habitually. Therefore, as long as everyone has the same idea, they can force the ball to the left side.

Bell nodded heavily and said: "Don't worry, as long as the ball reaches Yaya Toure's feet and the time is right, I will definitely be able to grab it."

Although Bell has been most talked about in the past year or so for his offense, in fact, his true background is as a defender, and his defensive ability is enough to occupy the main position even for a mid-range team in the Premier League. . His wide range of active running and frontcourt pressing are also his strengths.
