Midfielder

Just as Mourinho said, after Ferguson lost the Community Shield, it was impossible not to react. The day after the game, Manchester United stopped public training. All reporters who tried to knock on the door of Manchester United's training base were turned away by the old Sir Alex.

Even if such a move would attract a lot of criticism from the media, the old Sir Alex would not care at all. Anyway, he didn't want to be disturbed by anyone now.

Ferguson has seen how the media will react. If this old man gets stubborn, even the top executives of the Premier League will be useless.

Although many media took advantage of Manchester United's loss to make a fuss about the conflict between Ferguson and the two major shareholders last season.

But Manchester United fans will not make trouble with them. At this time, they know that they must stand on the side of the old Sir Alex and support the team unconditionally.

After the loss, Ferguson must be a tyrant, there is no doubt about that, because everyone can feel his anger. Now no one in the entire Manchester United team dares to provoke this old man. If you accidentally offend him, then you have only one ending, that is, wait for death obediently.

In this closed training before the league, no one dares to be lazy on the training ground, otherwise, Ferguson's roar will resound throughout the stadium.

C Ronaldo made himself a member of the late list because of a traffic jam. He was punished by Ferguson and could only run around the stadium.

If it weren't for C Ronaldo's recent good training performance, that guy would definitely be in trouble. Ferguson's iron fist has never been soft.

The old Sir Alex not only uses this method to rectify the training atmosphere within the team, but he is also unprecedentedly strict in adjusting the competitive state.

Even veterans like Giggs and Scholes will be yelled at by Ferguson because of their state problems, let alone those newcomers who have just joined.

Saha, who performed poorly in the Community Shield, was the first unlucky guy. This guy who did not contribute at all on the field was completely exiled by Ferguson. There were even rumors in the French media that Saha was likely to leave Old Trafford when the winter transfer window opened.

This is definitely not a rumor, because with Van Nistelrooy injured, Ferguson is bound to strengthen the strength of the striker again, but the premise is that someone has to leave.

Originally, although Saha's performance was a bit up and down last season, he could still contribute to the offense, but now, he is completely dispensable.

Saha is undoubtedly the first candidate to be abandoned when the striker is reshuffled. This Frenchman who is often entangled in injuries does not have such a large running range when compared with Alan Smith. Even his ability to counter-grab is a level lower, not to mention the gap between him and Rooney.

The little fat man not only conquered Manchester United fans with a game, but also dispelled Ferguson's concerns. He is definitely the first choice for the striker.

This kid has the physique and impact of a traditional English center forward, and also has a good overall view, and he is not unfamiliar with his teammates.

There are even many Manchester United fans who have declared on various occasions that Rooney is the Red Devils' striker ace for the next ten years, and his position is unshakable.

The big investment made by the old Sir Alex is definitely worth it. Perhaps Rooney and Ronaldo are the cornerstones of Manchester United in the future, and once again the absolute main force of glory.

Although Ferguson has not made such an evaluation, it can be seen that the old Sir Alex values ​​this kid so much that a new kid can integrate into the team so quickly, and Rooney himself does have enough strength to sit firmly in the main position, even if Van Nistelrooy returns to the team, he has to give way.

A new generation replaces the old one, football is so ruthless. Although Van Nistelrooy is still the starting striker in the eyes of many people, he has begun to fall out of favor now.

When Van Nistelrooy was entangled in injuries, the old Sir Alex may also be considering a way out, and perhaps the Dutchman is no longer in his consideration.

Letting the important positions of the team gradually become younger may be the issue that Ferguson has considered the most in the past two years, and Van Nistelrooy's age has no advantage.

How long can the Dutch striker, who is almost 30 years old, maintain his peak state? This issue is not only considered by Ferguson, but also by the Dutch himself. After all, the Dutch center forward had the idea of ​​leaving Old Trafford when the summer transfer was opened.

It's just that the old man of Real Madrid doesn't want to provoke Ferguson because of a player's transfer, so Van Nistelrooy's stay or leave is stranded.

But this does not mean that Van Nistelrooy's agent will stop wandering among the teams. Maybe leaving is not a bad choice for Van Nistelrooy.

His scarred knees have indeed begun to feel a little bit of difficulty in dealing with the strong confrontation of the Premier League. Going to a league with slightly worse confrontation is not a retreat that can be considered. At least his sense of smell in front of the goal is still there, and maybe he can create glory again.

When Rooney sits firmly in the main position, it may be the day for this Dutchman to leave his hometown. At least he has accepted such an ending.

Ferguson never lingers on passers-by, especially a player who is gradually losing his form, but he will not let go of his general easily before finding a suitable replacement. However, he no longer frequently emphasizes in front of others that Van Nistelrooy is not for sale like before.

This is a signal. Although it is not stated explicitly, as Rooney gradually rises, Van Nistelrooy's future is getting further and further away from Old Trafford.

Since Ferguson was willing to drive away the "popular" Beckham and Stam, he will not be lenient to Van Nistelrooy this time. If the injury continues to torture Van Nistelrooy and prevents him from playing for a long time, then the time when Ferguson kills him will not be too far away.

However, these things are to be considered in the future. When Ferguson is sure that Keane cannot appear at Stamford Bridge, he must consider who will be the core.

Without the Irishman's roar on the field, Manchester United must now find someone who can lead the team forward. Ferguson does not want to suffer consecutive defeats at the beginning of the league. Losing to Wenger is already depressing enough. He does not want to fall into Mourinho's hands again.

In fact, it is not only Ferguson who is worried about the team's injuries and incomplete lineup. Even Mourinho, who has more than 20 international players, has this trouble.

It was not known whether he trained too hard during the training camp or God was playing a joke on him. Anyway, three days before the start of the league, the two wingers he built at Chelsea, Robben and Duff, pulled their thigh muscles in the same training session, although this was not a serious problem in sports.

But it was basically impossible to get them back to the point where they could play within three days, so Mourinho had to start adjusting the lineup.

Fortunately, Chelsea's bench depth was deep enough, and even if Duff and Robben were absent at the same time, Mourinho could find a replacement. Thiago and Joe Cole became candidates for the two wingers in the midfield respectively, but it was because of the sudden attack of this injury that he made an adjustment to the starting lineup.

No one knew what was written on the notebook in Mourinho's hand, but he knew that he had decided on the starting lineup three days ago.

After watching the game between Manchester United and Arsenal, Mourinho had already decided who would start in the first game, and Lin Yi's name was prominently listed.

But when Robben and Duff were both absent, Mourinho crossed out the kid's name from the starting lineup in his office, and he wrote Lampard's name in the front midfielder position again. All of this will always be known only to him.

That night, Mourinho did not leave the office until Mathilde called him from her new home. No one knew he would stay so long.

Perhaps only Mourinho himself knew how difficult it was to cross out the kid's name when he was re-outlining the team's tactical arrangements on the blackboard.

The day before the game, Mourinho announced the list of players who were going to start the game against Manchester United in front of everyone, and Lin Yi was unexpectedly not selected.

I'm afraid even Lampard himself didn't expect this, because when he heard Mourinho read his name, he even hesitated a little.

You know, within a week before the start of the league, Lin Yi had worn the training suit representing the main lineup many times. Even Lampard himself had felt that the boy was going to replace him. In the battle between him and Lin Yi, Mourinho still chose his apprentice.

However, the recent hot state of the little guy really made everyone speechless. Even if he replaced Lampard's position, no one could say anything.

Even Lampard himself had acquiesced that he did not gain much advantage in this war. He did not blame anyone for losing the main force.

But when Mourinho announced the list, Lin Yi's name did not appear. He was just included in the list of players by Mourinho.

Everyone was surprised by this arrangement, including Brito, who had studied the starting lineup with Mourinho at the beginning, and was even more at a loss.

Because he knew that Mourinho had thought about it for a long time and decided to give Lin Yi a starting position. Even if this would be said to be protecting his shortcomings, he didn't care, because facing Manchester United's defense line that might be full of main players, he trusted Lin Yi to find loopholes with his clever feet.

But now everything has changed, and the atmosphere in the entire conference room seems a bit weird, because everyone's eyes are on Lin Yi and Mourinho.

Mourinho still has a blank expression, but he can feel that his eyes are still on the kid. Maybe even he himself doesn't know whether this decision will affect Lin Yi. After all, in the past month of training, the little guy has really been working hard.

Every day, this kid is the first to come and the last to leave. Even Faria's training plan can't satisfy the kid's desire. He is working hard to train.

Especially when many people said that his shooting threat could not catch up with Lampard, he would practice a hundred times in front of the goal with the team's third goalkeeper Maggio every day after training. Recently, this kid's shooting skills have indeed improved a lot, even Cech said so.

But even with such a desperate training attitude, he did not get the starting position in the opening game of the new season in Mourinho's hands. Lin Yi may not have any thoughts. Don't forget, he is only 17 years old this year. Even if he has lifted the European Champions' trophy, it is impossible for him to have no temper at all.

Even Mourinho is worried that his arrangement will lead to any radical actions or remarks from this kid, so he is also a little worried.

But after Mourinho read out the squad, Lin Yi still had no expression on his face, as if nothing had happened at all.

The glances directed at him did not elicit any reaction from him. Until Mourinho announced that he was ready for training, the kid said nothing.

It was as if he had accepted this ending, everything seemed so weird, and everyone seemed to think that their worries were a bit unnecessary, but Brito and Mourinho, who were familiar with the kid, knew that when the kid didn't speak, It's even more terrifying because he is accumulating strength and waiting to explode.

Sure enough, in Chelsea's regular afternoon training session, the black-haired boy showed everyone what real madness is.

In the two group matches, Lin Yi scored a total of three goals, provided six assists, and also had two fierce shots that hit the door frame.

Even Cech didn't want to defend the kid's shot in the end, because Lin Yi was volleying with all his strength, which made Cech's jaw go numb.

This may be the first time that Lin Yi has behaved so violently in Chelsea training, and it is also the first time that this kid has lost his smile during training.

It's not that Mourinho didn't see this situation, but he also chose to remain silent this time, just watching Lin Yi venting on the training ground.

Yes, Lin Yi was just venting, and he was using this performance to express his dissatisfaction to Mourinho, because he didn't understand why he was not allowed to be the main starter in the game against Manchester United. Could it be that his recent state was not good enough? Problem? Or are you not doing well enough in what areas?

Mourinho didn't give him a reasonable reason and just threw himself on the bench. Although he was not in the stands, Lin Yi might still have a chance to play during the game, but Lin Yi really couldn't accept this. Arrangement, because he couldn't figure out what this change was for.

However, Lin Yi will not show criticism or other expressions in front of others regarding Mourinho's decision. He must maintain a restrained attitude.

Just like what he showed in the meeting room, he didn't ask why, but on the training ground, he had to vent the tightness accumulated in his chest. No one could stop him at this time, not even his teammates. Lin Yi's tackle and grab couldn't stop Lin Yi's crazy attack with the ball.

Mourinho's choice is undoubtedly telling others that in the competition between Lin Yi and Lampard for the main position, that kid became the loser this time.

However, in these days of training and games, although Lin Yi did not perform much better than Lampard, his unique sense of the game still conquered many Chelsea teammates. At least now most people in the team feel that , the more than 30 million euros Kenyon spent is indeed very worthwhile.

Even if this kid occupies a main position, no one will say that Mourinho is protecting his shortcomings, because the kid did show his strength on the court.

Although Lampard was qualified to start the game, he could feel the ferocious energy exuding from the kid throughout the training session.

Although the anger that was vented was not directed at him, it made Lampard feel a little shocked. The kid's outburst was indeed terrifying.

Lampard hadn't felt what it was like to be ruthless in the early training, but now he has seen that the ruthless boy can indeed destroy everything, and this little guy is not that reckless and vicious on the court. It was completely mixed with his own spiritual energy in the ferocity.

If you want to know how terrifying this kid is, it's best to ask Makelele, because in the confrontation just now, this guy was the most embarrassed.

The Frenchman can be considered well-informed, but there are really not many people like Lin Yi who can continuously change directions while dribbling the ball at high speed.

The kid's crotch seemed to be equipped with a motor, and the flexible twisting gave Makelele a headache, and sometimes he could only commit a foul.

Everyone could feel that the atmosphere between Lin Yi and Mourinho on the training ground this afternoon was a bit strange, but no one dared to say anything at this time, including Brito. , they could only stand aside and watch everything that happened, not even daring to express their anger.

Lin Yi and Mourinho had no communication during the entire two-hour training. Lin Yi was just focused on torturing his opponent on the court.

Mourinho did not say a word during the training. The command of all training was temporarily taken over by Brito, and both of them were silent.

There seemed to be some distance between them. This was probably the first time this happened between the two of them, and everyone was a little at a loss.

At the end of the training, Lin Yi finally stopped venting, and the Chelsea players hurriedly left very consciously. If they didn't get out of the way at this time, no one would know what would happen next. What's more, we have to prepare for the first league match against Manchester United the next day.

Lin Yi was the last one to leave the training ground, but when he walked into the locker room, Mourinho was already sitting there waiting for him. But at this time, Lin Yi didn't know what else he could say. Although he knew that Mourinho certainly did not make this decision without consideration.

But the breath that accumulated in his heart still made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he did not speak first, waiting for Mourinho to speak first.

"Is it because I was removed from the main lineup that you are so silent with me now? Do you think I have ignored your role on the court?"

Lin Yi did not answer this question, but his expression had already acquiesced to Mourinho's statement. This was also the point that Lin Yi couldn't figure out the most. If he said that he was not good at it, then Mourinho's approach was simply unacceptable to him. There won't be any objections, but now the problem is not with myself.

"I know you can't figure it out. When I made this decision, it took me a long time to convince myself, not because you are not good enough, but because I want to win Manchester United at Stamford Bridge, and you are in my hands. Ace, I need you to execute the fatal blow at the most critical moment."

"When a lion is chasing its prey, its claws will not be exposed immediately. The retracted blade can stab the opponent's heart more accurately."

"This is your and my debut at Stamford Bridge. I hope the ending is perfect. I don't think about whether the scene looks good or not. I just want three points."

One was talking and the other was listening. No one knew how long these two guys had been in the locker room, and no one knew what they were talking about.

Anyway, when everyone saw the two of them the next day, the gloomy expressions were no longer on their faces. . .

Or, the people who should be gloomy have to be replaced by their opponents. . .

(0:2. Sure enough, before the referee showed his power, the men's football team had already abandoned its martial arts skills. It seems that the tenth update, hehe... Okay, I won't disturb you anymore. If you qualify, I will give the tenth update. No. If I qualify, I’ll update it five times, so that’s fair.)
