[0761 Chapter] The monthly ticket and the disparity in strength

After seeing off their Champions League rival Roma, Manchester United faced the challenge of Premier League underdog Wigan three days later. The intensity of European football may only be matched by the NBA. After all, NBA championship teams have to play at least 98 games a year.

.

In comparison, the 38 Premier League games, plus the Champions League, FA Cup, and League Cup games, are not much more intensive.

Taking Manchester United as an example, last season they won the unprecedented "Quadruple Crown" in European football and participated in a total of 61 official games. In addition, players participated in international competitions with the national team, and some main players even participated in more than 70 games.

field.

This season, Manchester United has added the Community Shield Cup, the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup to be held in Fuso in December, for a total of four games. In addition, the Club World Cup games are held thousands of miles away, and Manchester United needs to leapfrog

Participating in two continents and traveling and traveling will undoubtedly increase the players' fatigue level.

In addition, 2008 is the year of the European Championship and the Olympic Games. The European Championship qualifiers and Olympic qualifiers are in full swing. Most of the players in the Manchester United team need to participate in the national team competition, and they are all absolute main players.

This is undoubtedly an extreme physical test for Manchester United players.

For this reason, in the home game against Wigan, Ferguson carried out a large-scale rotation. Except for a few players such as Carrick who continued to serve as starters, all the top five players in the frontcourt took turns.

If another team were to conduct a large-scale rotation, I'm afraid the home fans would rebel. After all, fans spend a lot of money to come to the stadium to watch the game, and they come to a large extent for the stars.

However, even if Manchester United has carried out almost a complete rotation, the 11 starting players on the field are still star-studded, which greatly meets the fans' requirements.

In terms of goalkeeper, Van der Sar's comeback made Manchester United fans extremely happy. After all, it was the veteran's outstanding performance last season that allowed Manchester United to ascend to the throne of the 'Quadruple Crown'. This season, Neuer joined

After Manchester United, Van der Sar gradually gave up some playing opportunities due to minor injuries, but in the minds of Manchester United fans, the Dutch goalkeeper is still Manchester United's number one goalkeeper!

However, everyone realizes that the 37-year-old Dutch veteran is no longer the future of Manchester United, but the German goalkeeper Neuer, who is 16 years younger than him, is the future of the team.

The audience gave the warmest applause to Van der Sar's appearance. This is also the loveliness of the fans. They have great respect for every player who contributes to the team.

In the defense, Vidic, Ferdinand and Gary Neville all took turns, and veteran Heinze returned from injury. Under the double suppression of Ferdinand and Vidic, the Argentine was rarely able to play, but his condition was still maintained.

He's a good substitute and he's a good substitute.

Sylvester and O'Shea have become the two defenders on the wings. They are somewhat unable to deal with the forwards of top teams, but Wigan's players should not break them into a sieve.

In the midfield, Ferguson was still a little worried, so he deployed Carrick and Hargreaves, two capable midfielders with both offensive and defensive capabilities. They were one of the most stable midfielder combinations in the entire Premier League.

Compared with Chelsea's suffocating steel midfielder, Manchester United's double midfielder combination cannot be the ultimate defensive midfielder, but they can often launch an attack for Manchester United in the first place.

Since this season, although the defensive midfield combination of Carrick and Hargreaves has not had very impressive statistics in various competitions, their role in Manchester United can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

Although Sir Alex Ferguson replaced all other starting players in this game, he still gave enough trust to the defensive midfielder combination.

Nani finally got a chance to start. He replaced fellow Portuguese Ronaldo as the right midfielder. When being interviewed by the media before the game, the Portuguese youngster was full of confidence!

Coming from Sporting Lisbon to the Premier League giant Manchester United, you naturally have unlimited aspirations. However, Ronaldo's tactical status at Manchester United is extremely high, Ronaldo himself is in excellent form, and Nani can only be on the bench this season.

Sitting dryly.

On the other side, Anderson replaced Wang Laoji in the starting lineup. This genius worth 20 million pounds could only serve as Wong Laoji's substitute at Manchester United.

Some media commented that the 11 players in Manchester United's starting lineup are all world-class superstars, and there are at least 11 world-class players on the bench. Both the starting strength and the depth of the bench are amazing!

In the attacking midfielder position, Scholes got his wish and got into the starting lineup. The ginger head born in 1974 still maintained good condition and performed well every time he came on the bench.

If he were in other teams, with Scholes' reputation and strength, he could definitely start steadily, but it's a pity that Scholes met a cheating man.

Gu Fei's near-perfect performance forced Scholes to wait for his chance to play on the bench, and his extremely passionate love for Manchester United made it difficult for Scholes to leave Manchester United easily.

In order to honor this team's meritorious service, Manchester United launched a new round of contract negotiations with him this summer. The two parties signed the contract until 2012, and his weekly salary reached the Premier League's maximum salary of 150,000 pounds!

Although this number is still a little far away from Ronaldo's weekly salary of 200,000 pounds, for a 33-year-old veteran, such a number is astonishing enough.

Once Scholes completes this contract with Manchester United, he is already a 38-year-old veteran and can definitely stay at Manchester United for the rest of his life.

Manchester United's Hesk is a heartwarming story from the past, which moved fans quite a bit. In this highly commercialized football world, few clubs are willing to provide high salaries to these veterans.

In some wealthy clubs, even if they are the flag of the team, once they get older and their form declines, they will either be kicked out or have to have their salary cut in order to stay on the team.

In a few years, when King of the Ring Raul is forced to leave the cold Bernabeu, people will look back at Scholes' lifetime contract and will undoubtedly be able to feel the strong personality of Manchester United and especially Gu Fei!

Scholes returned to the starting lineup and wore the captain's armband of Manchester United. This was Sir Alex Ferguson's greatest compliment to the veteran.

There is also a defensive free agent Park Ji-sung in Manchester United's lineup. He will use his abundant physical fitness and tenacious will to become Manchester United's first defensive player.

Compared with the main lineup, Manchester United's substitute lineup can be said to be strong offensively and weak defensively, and it is far less able to suppress opponents offensively. In order to ensure that the team does not concede goals, Sir Alex Ferguson can only send the top defensive player Park Ji-sung onto the field.

So Gu Fei didn't have a very good impression of Bangzi Country, but purely personally, Park Ji-sung's performance at Manchester United was impressive.

In Manchester United's No. 1, he firmly believes in diligent modulation and has won unanimous recognition from the club's senior management to ordinary staff, and his conscientious defensive attitude on the field has also won the respect of his teammates.

Since last season, Park Ji-sung has often stepped forward when the team needs it most and has become one of the important forces in the team's final stage to ensure victory.

For this reason, although Park Ji-sung is not the absolute main force in the Manchester United team, he is also an important rotation main force and has relatively many playing opportunities.

Although some teams offered 15 million pounds this summer in an attempt to introduce this unpretentious midfielder and defender, Manchester United refused.

In order to retain Park Ji-sung, Manchester United even took the initiative to increase Park Ji-sung's weekly salary to 80,000 pounds, which was an increase of more than 60% from his weekly salary of only 50,000 pounds last season.

Manchester United's generous investment in players also makes many players in international football envious, and their thoughts on Manchester United have become more practical.

As a Chinese, Gu Fei has a profound understanding of many Chinese thoughts and spirits. He is well aware of the allusion of buying horse bones for a thousand gold, and hopes to use this performance to attract more and better players to Manchester United.

In Europe, where the Bosman Act has great influence, the will of football players is often one of the important forces in transfer transactions. Even if the club has more authoritative power and wealth, it is not enough to make all players completely surrender.

In front of Scholes, Aguero made his first appearance in the Premier League as a lone forward!

When Sir Alex Ferguson put Aguero into the starting lineup, the media and fans felt like it was New Year's Eve.

Aguero, who was born in 1988, became famous at a young age. He has already performed well in the Argentine League and the Argentine Youth Team. He is also the successor and son-in-law appointed by the football king Maradona.

During this season, Aguero came on as a substitute many times and performed well. The media and fans were not too surprised that he became the starting lineup for Manchester United.

However, for English fans, Aguero's Argentinian nationality makes them somewhat uncomfortable.

Because compared to the large number of talents produced by other world football powers, there seems to be a gap in talent in England in recent years.

Today, as players born in the 1970s represented by Beckham are gradually getting older, the England national team only has Rooney, a player born in the 1980s, who can play the leading role. As for Owen, who was born in the 1980s, his aura and knowledge are no longer the hope of England fans.

As for Walcott, the little tiger who was brought to Germany by Eriksen, his performance at Arsenal in the past two years has been inconsistent and unable to take on important tasks.

But now that Argentina has emerged with a number of potential super stars such as Aguero, Tevez, Mascherano and Messi, English fans feel very uncomfortable.

Especially now that the England national team led by McLaren is struggling in the European Cup qualifiers and is likely to miss next year's European Cup, seeing the outstanding performance of the Argentine players makes England fans feel very unhappy!

This season, Aguero has taken advantage of the extremely limited playing time and scored a total of 5 goals, shining brightly.

If it were another team, maybe Aguero, who is less than 20 years old, could become the team's main forward and an important part of the team's offensive system.

It's a pity that in front of Manchester United's Aguero are Ibrahimovic and Rooney who are in full swing. All Aguero's efforts are just waiting for the two superstars to take turns to come on stage.

For a young man, serving as a substitute for Ibrahimovic and Rooney requires extremely high endurance and good psychological quality.

After all, these two superstars are in excellent physical condition, and it will not be easy to wait until they take turns due to injuries!

Fortunately, Manchester United fights on four fronts and has many competitions. Aguero still got a lot of opportunities to play. For example, he once led Manchester United's substitute players to win in the League Cup.

Aguero's appearance did not surprise everyone. After all, he is also the third choice on Manchester United's front line. He deserves to be the starter.

Although Manchester United's starting lineup is not the team's main lineup, the players on the field are still worth more than 200 million pounds. However, standing opposite Wigan Athletic, none of the players on the team are worth more than 50 million pounds.

This game is also called by the media as a contest between rich men and beggars, because with Ronaldo's worth alone, it is possible to buy the entire Wigan Athletic Club.

In addition, Wigan Athletic's highest-paid player only gets a weekly salary of 50,000 pounds. Compared with Manchester United's average weekly salary of nearly 100,000 pounds, there is a huge difference!

Therefore, before the game, all the media and fans did not believe that Wigan Athletic could escape from Old Trafford. After all, the last team that did not lose here was Arsenal more than a year ago.

In nearly 70 games over the past year, Manchester United has maintained a complete victory. Their powerful attack power and airtight defense are disappointing.

The huge disparity in strength has reduced the enthusiasm of broadcasters for broadcasting this game. If this game is not the first game in this round of Premier League matches and there are no other teams on the stage at the same time, I am afraid that the broadcast rate and ratings will be lower.

The rate will be much lower.

In distant China, there are still hundreds of millions of fans sitting in front of the TV on time to watch this game. Watching Manchester United games has become a habit for Chinese fans.

It's a pity that except for Gu Fei, no Chinese player in Manchester United can enter the first team. Although Wu Shitou can occasionally train with the first team, he is still too young!

Although Manchester United replaced the substitute lineup, the Old Trafford Stadium was still full. More than 85,000 Manchester United fans surrounded less than 3,000 Wigan Athletic fans, like a white sailboat in a sea of ​​red, in danger of capsizing at any time.

!

From the moment the referee blew the whistle to start the game, the rhythm of the game was firmly controlled by the Manchester United players. Although these Manchester United players usually cannot play the main role, their strength is displayed here.

It took such a long time to get a chance to start a game. Manchester United's substitute players were as if they were full of blood. Pressing down on Wigan Athletic was a blast!

Less than ten minutes into the game, Scholes' explosive shot from outside the penalty area caused the Wigan Athletic goalkeeper to save the ball. Aguero's clever follow-up shot from inside the penalty area broke the deadlock.

Subsequently, all the Manchester United players also showed their talents. They seemed to vent their grievances that they had been holding back for a long time. What awaited Wigan Athletic would be a nightmare!
