The Godfather of Football

Chapter 252 Manchester United is finished!

After 15 minutes, back at Stamford Bridge, Boll blew the horn for the second half of the game.

Chelsea continued their excellent performance in the first half, while Manchester United adopted a more conservative defensive counterattack strategy. Ferguson obviously lacked the most basic change of tactics, because the problem he was facing now was not the poor performance of the players, but the entire tactical system was cut off.

The tactical system of any team is crucial. In Ye Qiu's previous life, Real Madrid had never won the championship since 2003, although it was full of superstars and the team was super strong. Why? Because they lacked a stable tactical system!

Without a stable tactical system, even Real Madrid, which was full of superstars, could not do it, and Manchester United could not do it either.

Ferguson was very passive and in a dilemma because the midfield was out of power. He could only take two paths, the forward retreat or the defender press forward, but the defender's forward pressure had proved in the first half that the team's defense was difficult to stop Chelsea, and it would not work.

But if you want to retreat the forward, you must at least have a forward who can retreat and hold the ball, right?

Neither Diego Forlan nor Solskjaer obviously follow this route, and the French winger David Bellion, who performed very well in the pre-season warm-up match, has now been put in the cold palace by Ferguson, because the French striker is characterized by speed, but his ability with the ball is very average.

Another winger in the team, Cristiano Ronaldo, seems to be a bit strange. When there is no ball at his feet, his sprint speed is very fast, but when there is a ball at his feet, he is too sticky to the ball. This has a lot to do with his playing with the ball since he was a child, so he likes to control the ball at his feet. Such a player is not suitable to be a linker.

Thinking about it, Manchester United lacks such a person!

Without a striker who retreats to help the midfield, Manchester United will not be able to change the midfield's dependence on the defender's forward pressure, and the problem of unstable defense will continue. This is not something Ferguson can change in the midfield.

Ferguson did not make any major adjustments to the tactics in the midfield, which surprised everyone, including Andy Gray and Richard Keys, because if they did not change, it meant that Ferguson had given up the game.

Chelsea also did not make any changes, because Ye Qiu was sure that Ferguson had no surprises, because if there were surprises, Manchester United would not have played so badly in the first half, so he continued to maintain the team's tactics in the first half in the second half, continued to attack and suppress Manchester United, and even played more boldly.

The right side suppressed Manchester United's left side. Van Nistelrooy and Diego Fran were not speed players, and the midfield lacked a long pass like Beckham, so Ye Qiu had nothing to worry about.

As a result, in the 75th minute, Manchester United's defense line once again revealed a fatal flaw after being bombarded by Chelsea for half an hour. Ronaldinho pulled to the left and took the ball. He launched an attack from the left rib, cut inside to the front of the penalty area and passed the ball to the middle.

Ronaldinho's pass was not fast, nor was it tricky, and anyone could tell.

When Ferdinand lost his position, Sylvester faced the ball alone. He had obviously learned from the lessons he had suffered from Drogba before. He should have been able to easily stop the ball with his body and then clear it with a big kick, but he awkwardly bent over and headed it.

This clearance was not powerful enough. Davis, who had already pressed forward and was ready to suppress Manchester United's defense at any time, picked up a treasure this time. The short Dutch wild boar faced the ball, jumped high, knocked the ball forward, and quickly chased after it landed.

Being short has its advantages. Davis is short, but he is very flexible. By the time Sylvester reacted, the Dutchman had quickly passed by him and rushed into the penalty area, which made Sylvester's outstretched hand retract immediately, because pulling someone would result in a red card and a penalty kick.

No one was pulled. Davis got the ball in the penalty area and rushed towards Howard. He calmly shot with his left foot and the ball went into the net.

"3:0!!!!" Relatively speaking, Andy Gray no longer had the excitement and surprise of the first half, because the second half was generally calm. Chelsea firmly controlled the initiative and Manchester United passively defended. The performance of both sides was very obvious. Even to some extent, it was not surprising for Manchester United to lose the ball again, but it was unexpected not to lose the ball.

"Sylvester should be responsible for this goal. He actually made such a bad and low-level mistake at such a critical moment. This is definitely not a mistake that a Manchester United central defender should make. He should be responsible for his stupid performance!"

Andy Gray followed the situation of the game and pushed the responsibility of Manchester United's goal loss to Sylvester. I believe this is also the idea of ​​all the fans watching this game.

But Ye Qiu, who was standing on the sidelines, was not surprised when he saw the whole process of the team's goal, because he was mentally prepared for the late arrival of this goal. He was more happy to see Sylvester's performance.

"That's definitely a sign of losing confidence!" Ye Qiu felt that this was not purely a problem at the technical and tactical level of the players, but a psychological one, because with Sylvester's resume, he would not have such a problem. Only when he had a psychological problem would he make such a mistake.

"Manchester United is finished!" Ten Cate shook his head and laughed.

3:0, Chelsea defeated Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. This will not only deal a heavy blow to Manchester United's morale on the road to the championship, but will also show all teams, including European teams, the truth that Manchester United is a pseudo-strong team this season.

Manchester United was indeed very strong and invincible during the treble period and the beginning of the century, but now, with Beckham and Veron gone, Manchester United is no longer as brave as it used to be. In addition, Ferguson's adjustment of the team has not progressed well. Manchester United now seems strong, but in fact it is a pseudo-strong team.

When this truth is revealed, coupled with Ye Qiu's deployment of troops in this game, I believe that all head coaches will take out the video of this game and watch it repeatedly when they meet Manchester United. At that time, Manchester United will collapse and find that every one of their opponents has grasped their weak points.

Of course, with Manchester United's strength, not all opponents may be able to create problems for them, but the possibility of continuing to win the championship is very small. Even if one performs poorly, they may not even qualify for the Champions League.

Thinking of this, Ten Cate couldn't help but praise Ye Qiu for making a very cost-effective deal this summer.

The introduction of Ronaldinho not only brought a superstar to Chelsea and strengthened Chelsea's offensive ability, but also severely hit Ferguson's metabolic plan, putting Manchester United in the current predicament.

Imagine if Manchester United had Ronaldinho now, with the Brazilian and Van Nistelrooy forming a double striker, and the midfield making appropriate changes and adjustments, the strength of the entire team might not necessarily be able to reach new heights in the European arena, but there would be no problem in dominating the Premier League.

But now, Manchester United may find it difficult to adjust in a short period of time, because Keane is old. From the current point of view, Keane's performance is not as good as before, and there will definitely be a new round of turmoil at that time.

"At least for three years, we don't need to worry about Manchester United!" Ye Qiu saw this very clearly.

After saying that, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "However, Ferguson is still Ferguson after all, I am still a little worried!"

Hearing Ye Qiu say this, Ten Cate didn't understand it, so he didn't say anything.

"Although kicking someone when they are down is not what a gentleman does, and it's not my usual style, I don't want to see Manchester United turn over!" Ye Qiu's smile is a perfect portrayal of getting something for nothing.

Finally, in this crucial battle at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea defeated the visiting Red Devils Manchester United 3:0 at home with three goals from Ronaldinho, Lampard and Davis.

This made tens of thousands of Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge excited, and everyone felt the strong strength of Chelsea, the leader of the Premier League. The better news came after the game. Arsenal was forced to a draw with Fulham at home 0:0, and Chelsea's lead was once again expanded to 6 points.

Ye Qiu really rushed to Highbury Stadium to hug Chris Coleman and kiss him, because this former central defender, who was only 32 years old, was promoted by Fulham to become the head coach of the London team this season. He is the youngest head coach in the Premier League except Ye Qiu, but Fulham has shown very tenacious strength in his hands.

The lead was expanded to 6 points again, and Ye Qiu could breathe a sigh of relief, because at least he could handle the next schedule more calmly, so after the game, in the press conference hall of Stamford Bridge, all the reporters present could easily see Ye Qiu's face full of smiles.

For this reason, he even joked with the media when he just walked into the stadium.

"You must have guessed wrong now. I am in a bad mood. I just scolded my players in the locker room, especially Drogba, because we wasted too many opportunities. I think our score should at least double to be fair!"

All the reporters in the hall burst into laughter. From the game, Chelsea had an absolute advantage. Ye Qiu, as always, showed excellent targeted tactical qualities, exposing Manchester United's shortcomings and defects to the fullest, and the Blues' offense also created more opportunities.

Doubled, it was only 6:0, Ye Qiu's words were not exaggerated at all, because Chelsea had 11 shots on target throughout the game, which directly led to Howard becoming Manchester United's best player in this game, and naturally, Gary Neville, Ferdinand, Sylvester and O'Shea's defense line all scored 4 points and 5 points.

Ye Qiu's good mood was felt by all reporters, and Ferguson's depression was also not concealed.

The two of them were happy and angry, sitting on the rostrum, which was indeed a very interesting and obvious contrast.

On the one hand, Ferguson excused the poor performance of the defense line players, but on the other hand, he also tactfully admitted that the defense line players and even the entire team seemed to be somewhat lacking in confidence, lacking the belief and domineering spirit of the past.

"We have been trying to make up for these stupid mistakes on the defense line. I think it will be effective to improve the players' self-confidence as soon as possible, but it's strange, right, because no one knows when confidence will come. I think that working hard to play and defeat opponents should be an effective way to gain confidence."

"Dual-front operations, coupled with Rio's doping test turmoil, have indeed brought a lot of mental pressure to us. It is very difficult for us now. We must unite to get out of the predicament, but the premise is that we must Let’s prevent us from making those stupid mistakes on defense again!”

Obviously, everyone can hear that Ferguson is criticizing the poor performance of the team's defensive players.

All the reporters at the scene also recorded it very clearly, because they all found that Ferguson rarely attacked the team's players so seriously and openly, and he also directly attacked a large area at once. This is enough to prove that the old Jazz is indeed Furious.

But Ye Qiu, who was sitting next to Ferguson, had to admire Ferguson's wisdom, even the bombardment was so smart.

Manchester United's problem does not lie in the defense at all, or in other words, the core problem is not the defense, but Ferguson bombarded the defense, attracting everyone's attention with this rare public bombardment, and thereby turning everyone's attention away. The focus is on Manchester United's defense to cover up the team's biggest and most fatal weakness.

Frankly speaking, in terms of cunning and cunning, Ye Qiu is still far behind Ferguson!

But when it comes to breaking up troubles, this is Ye Qiu's strength, so soon, when a reporter from the Daily Telegraph asked Ye Qiu what was Chelsea's biggest advantage in defeating Manchester United in this game, Ye Qiu directly exposed Ferguson's true face and directly exposed Manchester United's problems and weaknesses.

"For this game, I specially studied the game videos of Manchester United in the past few seasons, and combined with Manchester United this season, I feel that the departure of Beckham and Veron has caused Manchester United's midfield to become seriously imbalanced. When the opponent takes advantage in the midfield and applies pressure, they lack effective ways to break the situation! ”

Ferguson just heard the reporter ask, and he felt a little lucky in his heart, but when he heard Ye Qiu say this, he finished shouting secretly, and looked at Ye Qiu with eyes full of resentment and anger, "You win, you win, so why bother?" Reveal my trump card? Doesn't this ruin my job? You put it so bluntly, all the smoke bombs I just used were in vain, you are so stupid!

Fortunately, Jazz still wanted to have status and demeanor, so he didn't scold him directly.

"I think the most important reason why we won this game is that we put tremendous pressure on Manchester United's midfield, which prevented their midfield from operating skillfully. Ruud Ruud and Forlan were unable to receive the ball. With the pass from the midfield, they lost the threat, and the defense paid for the midfielder's loss. Almost all the goals conceded were caused by the central defender losing his position. I think we did a pretty good job at this point! "

Ye Qiu was so happy that he thought to himself that he had said it so plainly. If Manchester United's opponents still couldn't hear it, then they might as well stop messing around and go home to take care of their children.

Of the two head coaches, one said he was a defender and the other said he was a midfielder. This made the reporters at the scene a little confused. Who is telling the truth?

However, there is no shortage of smart people among reporters. Many people combined it with Ferguson’s rare bombardment just now. In the past, Ferguson did everything possible to protect defenders. He also said that he would not introduce defenders to death, but now he directly The bombardment came a bit suddenly, which was indeed intriguing.

Ye Qiu spoke highly of the players' performance and thought it was an amazing game.

"I believe that before this game, everyone, including me and my players, was a little uneasy about Chelsea because many people said that we lacked the test of a strong team and we didn't know what our strength was. At this level, we don’t know where we can go.”

"However, through this game, we clearly saw our strength. We have a group of championship-level players. We firmly control the position of the Premier League leader. We have enough strength to face any opponent. This It will be of great help to our self-confidence and the team’s next games.”

"If we can win the Premier League championship this season, then this game will be our greatest victory this season, because it allows us to see ourselves clearly and recognize ourselves!"

"Of course, the league is still very long. It's only November now, and we are about to face the devilish schedule in December and the winter break. All of us are full of confidence in this. We have enough fighting spirit and strength to face this kind of situation. Challenge, I hope that after the winter break, by May next year, we will still be the leader of the league and finally win the championship!”

Ferguson seemed to be in a bad mood, and he also had strong opinions on Ye Qiu. He believed that Chelsea was not as good as it seemed, and Manchester United was not as bad as it seemed.

"Although, I can't say that we deserve to win the game, but at the very least, I think we should get something, but no, this is very unfair to us, but this is a football game!"

What Ferguson called something was actually Manchester United striving for away goals. Sometimes a goal can avoid a lot of things and save some situations, but Manchester United ended up losing a clean sheet at home to Chelsea. This is indeed a bit difficult for the defending champion. Embarrassing, but the game is over.

No matter how much the reporters asked, Ferguson never commented or refuted Ye Qiu's remarks about Manchester United's fatal weakness. He even left the press conference hall early to express his dissatisfaction with Ye Qiu.

It was too rude. After winning the game, he actually took advantage of the situation. Is that reasonable?
