Super Marshal

The game ended with a score of 0-7, and Manchester United suffered a crushing defeat at Old Trafford.

In complete contrast to the process, Ferguson, who had been standing on the sidelines to direct during the game, returned to the coaching bench after the game and sat there sulking, with no trace of his dissatisfaction with the game process on his face.

Gao Han, who had been sitting on the coaching bench throughout the game, stepped down from the coaching bench after the game and stood on the sidelines, amidst the cheers of all the Manchester City fans who had followed the team to the away game. Fans' anthem.

In fact, after the team scored the third goal in the second half, the Manchester City fans in the stands were already calling Gao Han's name, and Gao Han's cheers could not be heard. For more than thirty minutes, Never stopped.

This surprised and admired the experienced Sky TV commentators. They thought that he had commented on Premier League and Champions League games for so many years, but he had never experienced such a grand occasion. Especially after the game, all the Manchester City fans Everyone turned their cheers and admiration into applause, which did not subside for a long time.

Not only that, more and more fans of the home team Manchester United are also joining the ranks.

"There is no doubt that this is the most glorious peak moment since Gao Han coached the Premier League. He has received unprecedented courtesy from Premier League fans, especially Manchester United fans. This is something that famous Premier League coaches such as Wenger and Mourinho have never received. treatment."

Ferguson, who was sitting on the home team's coaching bench, was also surprised by this. He did not expect that Gao Han could receive such treatment at Old Trafford. This was a rare courtesy even for him, the head coach.

But this also proves that this group of picky Manchester United fans have indeed been subdued by Gao Han.

At the very least, everyone was convinced in this match.

Including Ferguson himself.

After Gao Han returned to the Premier League, it brought him a lot of stimulation and reflection, including his team-building strategy for Manchester United, which made him determined to spend a lot of money to introduce Mkhitaryan, and facts proved that Mkhitaryan Taliang does have the potential to succeed Scholes and Giggs.

But it's not enough, because Manchester United's debt over the past few years has been too much.

It was only at this moment that Ferguson truly realized what Gao Han had said before that once he left, Manchester United would completely collapse. Looking back now, I have to deeply appreciate Gao Han's insight.

If nothing else, this defensive line alone may not be able to support Manchester United's ambitions.

In some Premier League games on weekdays, Evans performed well after coming on the field. Occasionally, Ferguson even suspected that it was due to his youth and experience. But now it seems that he may have really overestimated this young man. Train players.

Just as Ferguson was reflecting on himself depressedly, players from both teams in the stadium walked back to the locker room one after another.

The Manchester United players had no shame to stay in the field, while the Manchester City players were concerned that this was the home ground of their mortal enemy and they could not show off too much, so Gao Han was soon left in the field to accept the cheers and applause of the audience.

As usual, Ferguson exhaled heavily, walked off the coaching bench, and faced Gao Han.

The two men shook hands politely on the sidelines with all the fans watching. The expressions of the two famous coaches were extremely serious, which made the fans at the scene have mixed feelings when they saw it. It was very unpleasant.

In their view, this is somewhat like the waves behind the Yangtze River pushing the waves ahead.

But if they got closer and heard the conversation between the two, they probably wouldn't think so.

"Okay, okay, don't keep a straight face, just laugh if you want." Ferguson muttered quietly.

"Ha, you know why I want to laugh?"

"Don't I know you well? Such a big victory is enough for you to brag about for the rest of your life. Aren't you still smiling in your heart?"

"Giggle..." Gao Han suppressed a smile, but he felt quite happy in his heart.

When Ferguson saw his appearance, he actually had the urge to laugh despite his originally depressed mood.

Winning or losing is no longer the most important thing to him, even if it is a disastrous defeat like this.

"To be honest, what do you think is Manchester United's problem now?" Ferguson asked with concern.

Ferguson humbly asked for advice, and Gao Han also suppressed his smile, thought for a while and said: "It's still the old metabolism problem I told you before, and there are many players in the team who are not capable of playing the main role."

"Evans?" Ferguson asked.

"More than that." Gao Han shook his head, "The same goes for O'Shea and Brown. It's hard for veterans like Giggs and Scholes to ask them to play the leading role alone. Players such as Nani, Valencia and Anderson also lack stability. Performing at a high level..."

When he said this, Gao Han paused, "I think Evans still has potential, but the current environment at Manchester United is not suitable for him. Instead of staying at Manchester United, it is better to rent out and change to a suitable team." After one or two years of practice, maybe he will be good at it, and it would be good to recall him when the time comes.”

The competition and competition pressure of wealthy teams are too great, and not all players are suitable, even if they are in the youth training of the team.

In fact, for a player like Evans, who carries too much on his back to play, he can easily be compared with Ferdinand. He may even be comparing himself with Ferdinand, so the pressure is often too much, especially for performance. When things are not ideal, it is easy to lose confidence the more you play, always worry about gains and losses, and make some weird mistakes.

Trees are moved to death, people are moved to life. Maybe it will be a good thing to go to a mid-to-lower team outside for some experience, gain confidence, stabilize skills and tactics, and then return to the team.

There are countless cases similar to Evans's in wealthy teams, both successful and unsuccessful.

Ferguson obviously also heard what Gao Han said, "However, if Evans is sent away, I am afraid that the central defender will have to introduce strong reinforcements. A center and a central defender are not cheap."

At the end of the sentence, Ferguson smiled bitterly and turned to look at the chairman's stand.

All three brothers of the Glazer family came to the scene for this game. I wonder how they felt after watching the game.

Ferguson is not worried about the coaching crisis at all. He is more concerned about how to persuade the Glazer family to increase their investment.

Perhaps, after Gao Han leaves Manchester City, they will be more willing to invest.

After all, everyone knows that if Gao Han stays in the Premier League, do other teams have hope? What’s the point of investing at this time?

"The score of seven to zero in itself doesn't mean anything. I think the most important thing about this game for us is that we defeated a very good team."

At the press conference after the game, Gao Han did not show surprise after the victory when asked by media reporters, but showed his low-key side. He did not want the media to exaggerate and hype this big game too much. win.

"Old Trafford is the most difficult home stadium in Europe. To be able to win here is an incredible thing for any team. Even now, I still feel like I am playing at home. It’s like a dream.”

"For this victory, I don't think there is a seven-goal gap between us and Manchester United. We may even not have much of a gap because we were slightly ahead at 1-0 because of a picture. The red card changed the trend of the game, so it is unfair to criticize Manchester United based on the score."

Gao Han's meaning was very clear. Without that red card, it was hard to say who would win the game, so the score of seven to zero did not explain anything.

This answer can be said to have given Manchester United and Ferguson enough face.

At the same time, Gao Han also mentioned Evans in his subsequent answer. He said that Evans is a very capable young player, but he failed to perform to his due level in this game.

"I think this is normal. He needs more support and encouragement, and he needs to gradually build up his confidence. This is more important than anything else." Gao Han also called on media reporters to give Evans more encouragement instead of blows.

Manchester United head coach Ferguson also said in an interview with the media that this defeat made everyone at Manchester United sober up.

"It turns out that in less than two years, our neighbors have become another top-level team in European football. This of course relies on their amazing investment, but Gao Han's team formation and Recruitment is the most important part, and it is worthy of everyone, including me, to think deeply about and learn from."

"This defeat is certainly unacceptable, but the game has been lost and we have been eliminated from the Champions League, but we should not be immersed in the shadow of defeat. We need to reflect and learn from the strengths and advantages of our opponents, which can make us We will become more competitive in future competitions.”

Gao Han also agreed with Ferguson's remarks.

"Manchester United is a very legendary team. They have championship genes and strong mental strength, which allows them to never give up easily no matter how bad the team performs and can quickly Returning to the top ranks is something any team can learn from."

The two famous coaches exchanged compliments and compliments at the press conference, which made the media reporters who were expecting a good show very boring. They would rather see Ferguson bombard the referee and reprimand Manchester City in person, while Gao Han was angrily Counterattack scene.

Unfortunately, they were disappointed.

But when Gao Han was asked by the media to comment on the players in the team, he recognized the performance of Cristiano Ronaldo, who was elected the best player in the game, but only mentioned it in one sentence. It was the midfielder who was really named and praised by him.

There is no need to say more about the roles of Kaká and Xabi Alonso. Both players are world-class superstars in their positions, and Gao Han focused on David Silva and Modric. Both players are thought to be underrated.

"I think both players are world-class as well and their presence ensures we have control in the midfield."

"I know David Silva. When I first saw him, he was still very small, but I concluded at the first sight that he would become a world-class superstar in the future. He has the ability to become a superstar, and Now I think he's achieved that."

"The same goes for Modric. Whether in Bayern Munich or Manchester City, he quietly occupies an important position in the midfield. He deserves more recognition and affirmation."

Gao Han believes that both players are crucial to Manchester City.

This can be regarded as Gao Han indirectly denying the news that David Silva and Modric will transfer to Real Madrid.

Because not long ago, Spanish media broke the news that Real Madrid is likely to make midfield signings this summer, and they are interested in Manchester City's midfield dual-core.

But now Gao Han's words have pushed the two midfielders to the core position of the team. It is basically impossible for Real Madrid to poach more players.
