The Godfather of Football

It was clear that Ferguson was going crazy, so he was a full hour late for the post-match press conference.

My God, this should definitely be regarded as a record for a coach being late for a press conference!

Perhaps because of the win, or because of the 4:0 victory over Manchester United, Ye Qiu was in a good mood. After waiting for Ferguson for an hour, he joked with several familiar reporters at the scene to pass the time. Finally, Wait until Ferguson.

However, Lafayette is indeed a big name. He didn't even sit down when he arrived. He simply said, "Our biggest gain from this game is that there were no more injuries!" After that, he turned around and left, and it was over. This press conference.

This incident also became the focus of attention and ridicule in major British and European media and newspapers the next day.

As with everything, there is praise for both sides of this game, but there is also skepticism.

Many people feel that Chelsea's 4-0 victory over Manchester United feels a bit like taking advantage of others' danger. The strength gap between the two sides is far from that big, and Chelsea's state is not as good as the score shows, especially in the first half. field, and several of Chelsea's goals actually had a lot to do with the mistakes of Manchester United players.

But some people also think that Ferguson's words at the post-match press conference were obviously to shirk responsibility, because he obviously wanted to tell everyone that I played against Chelsea with eight players injured. I lost because I cut down a lot of people. If we fight with real swords and guns, I may not be inferior to Chelsea.

Many people feel that Ferguson seems to be refusing to admit defeat after losing.

Joe Cole performed well after coming on as a substitute, arousing the praise of the English media and fans, but it was obviously Rooney who performed better. England's golden boy also won the title of the best player in this game. His performance is definitely worthy of this honor.

After the downturn in the first few warm-up matches, Rooney made adjustments after returning to Europe and his performance was steadily improving. In this game, he was in his best form since joining Chelsea, regardless of whether he faced Fortune. Or Phil Neville, Rooney almost completely suppressed Manchester United's left wing.

After finishing the Community Shield and winning the first championship trophy of the new season, Ye Qiu also asked Rooney to accept an exclusive interview with the Guardian. In this interview, Rooney also spoke frankly about his joining. How I felt after Chelsea.

"This is a very different team from Everton. When I first joined, I was still worried about getting along with my teammates. But after coming to London, I found that this is not a problem at all. Our two The captains are all my teammates and seniors in the national team, Ronaldinho, Deco, Drogba and others are very friendly.”

"Unlike Everton, which has a lot of training without the ball and running circles, at Chelsea we almost all train with the ball, and the coaching staff here are very professional. They will explain to you the tactical significance of every action. They will It requires you to complete every action with purpose, which makes me know more clearly what I should do, which is very important!”

"Another obvious difference is that at Everton, the forwards there are often asked to return to their own half or even the penalty area to participate in defense, but at Chelsea, my defensive tasks are obviously different, although we all have to Participate in defense, but our defense is against the opponent's defense, and our head coach even said that he hopes we will always stay in the opponent's half."

"Chelsea's tactics have a very strong sense of rhythm. When we decide to go slow, we have to play very slow, but when we want to be fast, we are faster than any team or opponent. This is for me It’s a new challenge and excitement, and I really enjoy playing in such an aggressive team.”

When reporters asked Rooney to compare Ye Qiu and Moyes, Rooney kept praising his current head coach Ye Qiu, believing that although he had only joined the team for a month, he had already become friends with Ye Qiu. .

"You know, he is not a very serious person. He will joke with us like friends. He communicates with us almost every week. After I came to Chelsea, he would tell me every time he saw me, Wei Well, if you have any problems or troubles, remember to come to me as soon as possible. He will make you feel that he will help you anytime and anywhere!"

Although Rooney didn't say it, it was obvious that reporters interpreted from his words that he was implicitly criticizing Moyes.

Everton and Moyes did not respond to this and remained silent!

While the Chelsea team was preparing nervously and orderly for the first round of the Premier League, Ferguson's Manchester United defeated the Romanian team Dynamo Bucharest 2:1 in an away game. As long as they don't lose at home, there is no problem in advancing to the Champions League group stage. big.

But after this game, Ferguson reignited a war of words against Chelsea in the first round of the Premier League.

"There is no doubt that we lost the Community Shield, but it was a defeat when we had eight key stars without eight key stars, but I am satisfied with the fighting spirit and tenacity shown by the team, and I believe We can weather this difficult schedule very well.”

"Keane plays central defender? I think this is a very creative change. In Romania, he performed very well in the central defender position. It is difficult for the opponent to take advantage of him. I will continue to consider letting him play central defender. Until Ferdinand lifts the ban!”

As for the upcoming first-round Premier League match against Chelsea, Ferguson said that the outcome will not have any impact at all.

"This is just a Premier League game and it will not affect whether we win the season or not, because we have eight key players who may be absent, and I believe that by the end of September and October, our players will return one after another, and we will be able to compete again in the league. The champion launches the most powerful attack, and that’s when we can really exert our strength!”

At the pre-match press conference, when reporters repeated Ferguson's words to Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu smiled and retorted. He said that the significance of the Community Shield is to start a good start for the new season. Head, can very well boost the morale of the team.

"To say that the Community Shield is not important is an excuse for the loser. I won't say that!"

When Ferguson said that his team lost because of injuries, Ye Qiu also fought back.

"Manchester United lost 3-0 before Christmas last year. I know that their key players were also absent, but I really can't remember who they were. Please help me recall them!" As for the eight key players Ferguson mentioned In the absence, Ye Qiu shook his head and said sarcastically, "Yes, Manchester United is really not as good as it was back then. When did Kleberson and Eagles become the key players of Manchester United? It can be seen that the strength of this Manchester United has declined much. sharp!"

"But I just can't figure it out. Why did Ferguson say that he was short of players and forwards, but he sold Diego Forlan on the other side? The biggest difference between me and Ferguson is that I never do it for him. I made excuses for my failures and even attacked my opponents without any logic!”

"You must know that every top team will inevitably encounter injuries, and we all need to be prepared for this and ensure that we can cope with such situations anytime and anywhere. If Manchester United cannot do this, then All I can say is they are not a top team."

As soon as the press conference here ended, the Manchester reporter over there ran to interview Ferguson again and conveyed Ye Qiu's words. Ferguson counterattacked, but he did not respond to Ye Qiu's attack on the key players. refuted the definition and instead focused on Chelsea's financial signings.

"I can understand Ye Qiu's incomprehension of our team's operation strategy, because he has no pressure on this aspect at all. He does not understand the important factors that a top team needs to consider, such as the team's finances. He does not understand at all You need to worry about that because behind him is a management that has absolutely no operating pressure.”

"To be honest, I don't know Ye Qiu very well. Many people say that we are friends, but there is a big age gap between us. There is a huge age gap between me and him, and our differences are also obvious. But I have always felt that Ye Qiu can have Today, Abramovich should be thanked because the Russians gave him endless amounts of money.”

“I still remember when I first started coaching, that was 30 years ago, my transfer budget for the first season was only £2,000, but I had to bring in six players, and I did that; I came to Manchester United, the first thing Edwards said to me was that the club has no money to buy you players until the season ticket revenue is collected.”

"What I want to say is that Ye Qiu has no pressure in this aspect at all. His only pressure is to judge the players' abilities. He is indeed very good at this. I think if he is dismissed from the position of head coach, I will Invite him to Manchester United as a scout consultant, I believe he will be a very good scout!”

Ferguson's subtext is that Ye Qiu's success today is only possible thanks to Abramovich's money. He is not a qualified head coach and can only be regarded as a qualified scout at best.

It has to be said that the British reporters have a keen sense of news. When Ferguson attacked Ye Qiu here, they immediately asked their colleagues in London to interview Ye Qiu and relay Ferguson's words.

"Did he really say that?" Ye Qiu's first reaction was a little surprised. The reporter's speed was too efficient.

"I think the success of a team is the result of various factors. Abramovich's investment in the club is one aspect, but success is another aspect. According to Ferguson, he is now Are you saying, can money buy you a championship? How do I feel that it’s completely opposite to what he said a year ago?”

"As a senior, Ferguson's words make sense. He has been coaching in the Premier League for almost 20 years and is very familiar with all aspects. He has very rich experience, which is incomparable to me. So if he says I don't know how to coach, then I can't refute it, right? And he kindly invited me to serve as a scout for Manchester United. I will seriously consider it. Please convey my gratitude."

Just when the reporter was filled with surprise, wondering why Ye Qiu had changed his temper and stopped arguing with Ferguson, Ye Qiu changed the topic.

"But I definitely can't agree for the time being. Maybe when Manchester United beats us 4:0, oh, no, when they beat us 3:0, I will definitely be ashamed and resign. At that time, I will seriously consider going to Manchester United. Be a scout.”

"Oh, by the way, I came to the Premier League in July last year!" Ye Qiu deliberately reminded him of his qualifications.

Absolutely!

The reporters present were all filled with admiration after hearing this. They had never thought that Ye Qiu usually did not engage in verbal wars with his opponents, but now that he had started to fight, everyone was surprised to find that the firepower of his cannons was not much. He is not inferior to Ferguson, especially since all his answers are sarcastic and sarcastic.

However, when the British media was making a fuss about it, Ferguson, who arrived in London, seemed to feel that he could not take advantage of the war of words, so he chose to remain silent. He just kept saying that he would use the game to prove everything.

But in fact, Manchester United simply cannot beat Chelsea on the court!

When the game progressed to the 11th minute, Maicon launched a counterattack from the right, advanced quickly and passed diagonally into the penalty area. Drogba headed the ball across the right side. Rooney calmly turned his back to the goal under Keane's blocking and pressing. After catching the ball, he knocked it back to Lampard who came in from behind. Without any hesitation, the Blues vice-captain hit the ball directly into the dead corner with his right foot!

At this moment, the entire Stamford Bridge stadium was completely excited. All the Blues fans were cheering and shouting crazily. Lampard also rushed out of the penalty area immediately and celebrated around the stadium. Chelsea knocked on Manchester United's goal again!

Even Andy Gray, who was in charge of commentating the game, had to shake his head and marvel, "Ye Qiu is indeed the best coach among all the coaches I have ever seen, and his offense is very targeted. I believe in the game." At this point, Ferguson has no reason to belittle his opponent anymore!”

"Removing Keane's position to the central defender was a change made by Ferguson during the first leg of the Champions League third round qualifier. This indeed brought some strength to the defense, but it also made Manchester United The midfielder is completely exposed. O'Shea is obviously not as good as Keane in the defensive midfielder. Even though the latter has been criticized for getting old, that awareness is still there. "

They conceded one goal in an away Champions League game, and it was also a goal scored by an opponent's player. This in itself exposed the weakness of Manchester United's midfielder in interception and defense after losing Keane. Ye Qiu's start to the game The tactics were obviously aimed at this, so Manchester United was quickly knocked out of the goal.

Immediately afterwards, Chelsea launched a strong attack again. In less than 10 minutes, Drogba first got the ball and then turned and passed it through. Howard attacked rashly, almost made a mistake, and finally blocked the ball from the baseline. , and then Rooney stopped the ball with his chest and gave it to Drogba. The latter volleyed and jerked off in front of the goal, missing the opportunity to expand the score.

Later, Lampard had another powerful volley that missed slightly.

Chelsea's offense came one after another, while Manchester United's defense was retreating steadily, and they had to resort to defensive counterattack tactics. Even if Manchester United finally got a chance to counterattack, Giggs launched a counterattack from the left, but as soon as There were not many troops invested, and secondly, Chelsea's defense was very fast and successfully defused Manchester United's counterattack.

In the end, this goal was maintained until the end. Chelsea relied on this goal to beat Manchester United 1:0 at home.

Although they won and dominated the game, everyone could see that the condition of Chelsea players was actually not very ideal. Ronaldinho was almost invisible in this game, and Deco's performance was also poor. Very average, but the newly joined Rooney performed very eye-catching.

Andy Gray also thinks that this may have something to do with the European Cup and the America's Cup. After all, Ronaldinho and Deco have played in all the games of Brazil and Portugal in the America's Cup and the European Cup. People also missed the team's important pre-season preparations because of this, which must have had some impact.

Also because of the poor performance of Ronaldinho and Deco, Chelsea's offense looked very powerful, but not very threatening.

On the sidelines, Andy Gray made a new round of teasing to Ye Qiu and Ferguson, because both of them were wearing shirts and trousers. They looked very elegant and commanded the team with great momentum, but they There is a clear difference.

"Ferguson is wearing a white shirt and tie, a standard gentleman's attire, while Ye Qiu is wearing a dark blue shirt, which highlights his figure that is obviously more standard than Ferguson's. The collar is open and the cuffs are rolled up, making the whole person look more elegant. Vitality, more energy.”

"Many people have said that Ye Qiu is expected to reach a status like Ferguson at Chelsea, and Abramovich has expressed more than once that he hopes Ye Qiu can coach at Chelsea forever, so many people have said before that the Premier League has It has fully entered the Ye Qiu era, and judging from this game, this trend seems to be even more obvious.”

"At least judging from many media fan surveys, in the UK, Ferguson is more influential than Ye Qiu, but in Europe, the two seem to be neck and neck, and Ye Qiu's upward momentum is very obvious, but around the world, Ye Qiu is Ye Qiu beats Ferguson completely, especially among the young fans, Ye Qiu is almost the number one coach in the world!”

Ye Qiu expressed satisfaction at his ability to defeat Manchester United in the first game of the group at the post-match press conference, but he did not forget to further attack his competitors. He even shouted a little arrogantly, "Who can tell me, besides Manchester United, Apart from the advantage in fouls, what did they do better than us?”

But while Ferguson regretted his team's defeat, he also repeatedly stated that this game would not change the championship situation.

"A three-point deficit is insignificant for a league that has just started!"

But Ye Qiu didn't think so. He felt that this was a painful blow to the main competitor for the championship, and also a major victory on the road to the championship, not only in terms of 3 points, but also in terms of psychology.

"I think the biggest blow to our opponents in this game is their psychology, because we used an almost complete victory to tell our opponents that we have the ability to determine the trend of the game. When we want a certain result, we can get it through our efforts in the game!"

"I firmly believe that we can do this in every game to come!" Ye Qiu showed his strong confidence.

However, the most eye-catching team at the start of the league is not Chelsea!
