Reborn Almighty Life

Manchester United returned to Carrington in triumph from Rome quietly. For the citizens of Manchester, such an easy victory was no longer enough to make them excited to queue up at the airport to welcome them.

Speaking of which, Manchester United's winning streak over the past two years has greatly increased the horizons and appetite of Manchester United fans. Some small wins can no longer make Manchester United fans extremely excited.

Recalling the embarrassing situation that Manchester United was in when they were eliminated in the Champions League group stage two years ago, and then looking at the glorious 18-game winning streak now, Manchester United fans feel like they are in a dream.

There is no doubt that Manchester United has entered the most powerful era in history and is creating a red legend belonging to Manchester United.

Manchester United did not slack off when they returned to Carrington, because the next month will be Manchester United's devilish schedule. The Premier League, Champions League, Club World Cup, the English League Cup and FA Cup have already started. Manchester United will have five games in December.

Fighting on the line, all players' physical fitness faces severe tests.

If it were replaced by an ordinary team, after experiencing the torment of the Asian tour this summer, the team would be in a physical crisis and injured by this time. However, Manchester United is still a lively team so far, which is why

The media and experts are puzzled.

It stands to reason that Manchester United, which has traveled to several cities in Asia and played several commercial games with several teams, has a relatively short preparation time for this season. While other teams are still preparing systematically, it has already appeared in Monte Carlo.

Los Angeles and London won the European Super Cup and Community Shield respectively.

However, the outside world has ignored Manchester United's long-distance flights. With ultra-luxury private jets like the Fei Peng, long-distance flights that are regarded as daunting have even become a kind of enjoyment.

On the 'Fei Peng', Manchester United's players can get a good rest and reduce physical exertion, and the high-altitude gym allows Manchester United's players to maintain their condition even during a long intercontinental voyage.

Over time, Manchester United's physical energy consumed on away trips is much lower than people imagined, which is also an important reason for Manchester United's super endurance.

In addition, Manchester United's deep bench strength has prevented Manchester United's main players from suffering too many tests in the past two months. Since this season, Ferguson has often rotated the lineup, even for the most stable goalkeeper position.

Neuer and Van der Sar take turns.

Frequent changes to the starting lineup mean that no Manchester United player can play all the games this season. This is undoubtedly the greatest protection for the players.

Research shows that the high-density competition in modern football has become one of the important causes of player injuries.

Driven by commercial interests, professional football events are becoming more intensive, and European football events are arranged very tightly. In many cases, some of the top giants that compete on multiple fronts will face three games in a week, and the lineup

Relatively weak non-rich teams also often experience double games a week.

With the density of leagues and cup matches increasing and the schedules intertwined, the physical load on players has also increased. At the same time, many players also need to deal with national team match days. In continuous high-intensity matches, players are frequently injured.

Hair loss seems inevitable.

Compared with the league environment in other countries, the intensity of competition for Premier League teams is even greater. In addition to the league, the dual cup setup of the FA Cup and the League Cup also makes many Premier League teams often run in exhaustion. In the high-intensity confrontation between players

If the exercise is frequent and the rest time is not sufficient, the probability of physical injury will also be greatly increased.

Against this background, Manchester United has not yet had a seriously injured player. This is not so much Manchester United's luck as it is because the lineup behind Manchester United has laid a good foundation.

After Gu Fei took over Manchester United, he followed the example of NBA teams and established a player physical database. Whether a player can play does not depend on Ferguson's tactical choices, but on the evaluation of the team doctor.

Once the team doctor assesses that a player's physical condition is not suitable for playing, even if Ferguson strongly requests it, the team doctor has veto power!

Of course, Manchester United implements such a policy because Manchester United has the deepest bench in the world, with more than two world-class players in almost every position. The formation will not become worse due to the absence of a few players.

Overstretched.

Since the team doctor's veto power was implemented, Manchester United's players have avoided many unnecessary appearances and injuries. Everyone can often play when they are in the best physical condition, which can not only exert their full strength, but also consume very little physical energy.

of.

An important reason why Manchester United rarely suffers injuries is that Manchester United has not faced a real team against itself this season. Even teams such as Arsenal and Roma have not yet posed any threat to Manchester United.

In Manchester United games, the victory is often determined in the first half. In the second half, Ferguson will replace several core players, which can not only reduce the physical consumption of the players, but also reduce the unexpected injuries caused by the opponent's hasty jumping over the wall.

In this way, it is not a fantasy for Manchester United to have a complete lineup!

…………

Manchester United returned to Carrington for closed training, and the outside world is not very worried about Manchester United's next game. After all, Fulham and Derby County are not strong teams.

Of course, before the start of the game, Fulham's players and coaches would have some extravagant hopes, fantasies, and longings to overturn Manchester United to the ground while they were fighting on multiple fronts.

This may be the common expectation of all Manchester United's opponents. Today, Manchester United has become a public enemy of the Premier League and even the entire European football world. Everyone wants to bite a piece of meat from it!

Speaking of Manchester United's next league opponent, Fulham, overseas fans are not very familiar with it, but for fans in England, especially London, this is a team that cannot be ignored.

In 1907, Fulham joined the English Football League. It was not until 40 years later that they entered the top league for the first time, but they were relegated to the second division soon afterwards. From the 1950s to the 1970s, Fulham played under the legendary Heinnis

Under the leadership of the team, they maintained their place in the top league. Later legends such as Bobby Moore and George Best all played for Fulham in the 1970s.

However, Fulham's weak foundation has made Fulham an elevator to England's top league. They often rise to the top league and then quickly sink, like a roller coaster.

In the 1990s, Egyptian businessman Fayed entered the club. After receiving significant financial support, Fulham was promoted to the Premier League in 2001. Since then, there have been many relegation crises, but each time they have successfully avoided relegation.

In the past few seasons, Fulham's Premier League season ranking has been around 10-15, and there is no guarantee that they will be relegated, but Fulham fans can't see any hope for the team.

Especially in Manchester City, where the oil boss is frantically recruiting, Fulham fans are jealous of the treatment of Blue Moon fans. After all, the feeling of spending a lot of money is great, even if you are watching from the sidelines.

It is a pity that the Egyptian businessman Fayed does not have oil deposits in his home, and he is not a regular on the Forbes rich list. Keeping Fulham running and not using the club as a cash machine is already his deepest love for football.

Compared with super giants like Manchester United, small and medium-sized clubs like Fulham have huge disadvantages in terms of business development and ticket sales. This is the club's inherent flaw.

For example, Fulham's influence is limited to London and nearby areas at most. After all, this is a team with no foundation, no glorious history, and no outstanding superstars. It only has the support of the community over the years.

That’s how it got to where it is today! Fulham’s level of commercial development seems very rough, that is, some fan peripherals. The main stores are all opened near Craven Cottage Stadium. Even outside of London, you can’t buy them if you have money.

Fulham merchandise.

Compared with Manchester United's stores all over the world and its crazy income, Fulham's commercial development seems like child's play.

In addition, because Fulham has no superstars, it is even more difficult to attract heavyweight sponsors. As for its most important jersey chest advertisement, Fulham sold it to a betting agency for only 10 million pounds!

If it weren't for lack of money, as a team competing in Fulham's top league, why would the chest advertisement be printed on the chest of the jersey? It's somewhat of a broken can.

In contrast, Manchester United's chest advertising is sold to Lufthansa, and its annual revenue of 30 million pounds, coupled with free away tickets for Manchester United club staff, is enough to give Manchester United a unique advantage among Premier League clubs.

Even Premier League giants like Arsenal and Liverpool, when faced with Manchester United's aggressive business development momentum, can't help but talk about him.

Today, Manchester United is at the pinnacle of the entire Premier League in terms of commercial development.

In this game, Manchester United, who was playing at home, was confident and allocated 10,000 away tickets to Fulham. This kind of treatment even shocked Fulham!

You know, the maximum capacity of Fulham's home stadium, Craven Cottage, does not exceed 25,000 people. Manchester United's big deal immediately made Fulham unable to bear it.

Craven Cottage, located on the banks of the River Thames in London, England, has been the home stadium of Fulham since 1896, and this historic team has gone through more than a hundred years of history.

At the end of the 2001-02 season, Fulham budgeted to demolish Craven Farm and rebuild, and the team temporarily moved to Loftus Road. However, they were eventually forced to give up due to public opposition, and an 8 million fee was announced in December 2003.

The Pound's overhaul of plans to bring Craven Cottage into compliance with Premier League regulations is reported to be largely funded by proceeds from the sale of Saha to Manchester United.

The project started in January 2004, just in time for the opening of the 2004/05 football season. After the renovation, Craven Cottage became a 22,000-seat all-seater stadium. The first game was a pre-season match against Watford on July 10.

Warm-up match. Subsequently, Craven Cottage Stadium will undergo small-scale renovations every summer to increase its capacity. It currently has a capacity of 25,700 people, but it is still the fourth smallest stadium in the Premier League.

Compared to Manchester United's Old Trafford Stadium, which can accommodate 88,000 spectators, Craven Cottage is a child's play.

For this reason, Fulham does not have enough manpower to take away the away tickets provided by Manchester United, and can only organize 5,000 fans to watch the scene, and this is Fulham's limit. After all, in terms of the number of fans,

Under limited circumstances, Old Trafford, which is more than 200 miles away from London, is actually the limit!

When the Fulham players entered Manchester United's visiting team's dressing room through the tunnel, they were almost stunned!

Even though these football players have many hobbies and are well-informed, they were stunned by the luxurious decoration, complete facilities and excellent sound insulation in the locker room.

For a time, Fulham's ordinary players had a subconscious feeling that they lacked confidence. When they came to the Old Trafford stadium, their feet were weak.

Many teams always fantasize about a showdown with Manchester United before the game, but many of their fighting spirit and expectations will disappear after seeing Old Trafford.

…………

Naturally, no one knows the psychological journey of the Fulham players. After all, the club will not let the players take the initiative to turn on the video in the locker room. However, the Fulham players were obviously out of shape after they came on the field.

Gu Fei and Cristiano Ronaldo, who were rested in the middle of the week, went into battle. For Fulham, who had a weak lineup, this was undoubtedly like a nuclear weapon.

It only took half an hour for Gu Fei and Ronaldo to score twice each. The score of 4:0 almost made Fulham players want to run away, and at this time there were still two-thirds of the game left.

time!

Media reporters and professionals who watched this game all realized that a weak team like Fulham would not cause any trouble to Manchester United at all. To put it bluntly, Fulham's players wanted to attack Gu Fei,

Cristiano Ronaldo launched lethal tactics. With the frequency of their movements, it was unlikely that they would be able to tackle Gu Fei and Cristiano Ronaldo on the field.

Through this game, people realized that when the strength of the two teams is too disparate, it is a one-sided game. In fact, even Manchester United fans feel very sleepy.

In the second half, Gu Fei, Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney clocked out of get off work again. At this time, the score on the field had reached an astonishing 6:0. Gu Fei assisted and scored a hat trick. After being away from the court for a week, This Chinese held tactics with ferocious fangs.

At the end of the game, the score of 7:0 was clearly displayed on the electronic display. Manchester United won the game at home almost effortlessly.

With another victory in this game, the Premier League's record of 53 consecutive unbeaten games and 48 consecutive wins was born. Manchester United has injected new strength into the Premier League.

Neither the media nor the professionals could see the limits of Manchester United. Derby County, which was about to fight Manchester United at Old Trafford in three days, was even more panicked and regarded this away trip as a guillotine!

In fact, the actual situation is not much different. Losing to the opponent by a big score is undoubtedly an excruciating process for any professional football player. Everyone wishes to disappear!

It's a pity that the ideal is full and the reality is skinny!
