There is a dream called football

In the rest of the first half, Liverpool did not dare to attack harshly, but sought a balance, because Benitez also knew that if it went 0-2, there would be no way to recover.

In this way, Manchester United ended the first half with 1-0, and the Liverpool players quickly left the field.

Ferguson came to the locker room, but Keane was not there, and asked: "Where is Roy?"

The staff member said timidly: "Roy drove away."

As soon as these words came out, Ferguson almost exploded.

"Driving away?"

"Um."

Ferguson was keenly aware that something might go wrong, so he called his assistant in advance and asked him to go to Keane and tell him the seriousness of the matter. If he still wanted to play in the Premier League, he would come back immediately.

It has to be said that Keane's red card in the first half was the turning point. After that, Manchester United's momentum went into trouble.

Keane may have wanted to give Alonso a taste of the Premier League, but he didn't expect that the refereeing in this game was particularly strict.

Bang bang bang bang.

Ferguson clapped his hands heavily and said, "Cheer up for me."

"Yes, head."

"We have one less player now, but that doesn't matter. There have been many such situations in Manchester United's history, and we can still defeat our opponents."

Ferguson patted O'Shea and said, "You should be fine."

O'Shea nodded, but it was indeed difficult for him to intercept the entire midfielder by himself, but he could only nod his head.

Ferguson patted Ruud again and said, "Don't worry, don't worry."

Ferguson felt that Van Nistelrooy was capable, but his mentality was a little too hasty, which caused a bad relationship between him and his teammates.

"We couldn't concede a goal in the first 15 minutes of the second half, and then we tried to score another one."

After setting up, Ferguson left. He was still paying attention to Keane's matter. In a country as gossipy as Britain, this matter would soon become news.

The assistant looked helpless and said Keane was already home.

"Give me the phone and I'll call him directly."

The phone rang a few times, and Keane answered the phone. If there was anyone else in the world that he was a little afraid of, it would definitely be Ferguson.

"head."

"Get back here right now."

"Head, I'm home."

"..."

Ferguson was furious.

"Then you listen to me clearly. Don't accept interviews from reporters. Even if they provoke you, just shut up."

"Did you hear that?"

Keen was a little scared and said repeatedly: "Okay, I understand, I will stay at home."

As expected by Ferguson, reporters soon swarmed in. They hoped that Keane's big mouth would give them more news.

Here Ferguson is dealing with Keane, and over there Benitez is also actively arranging tactics. It is the first double red meeting in his Liverpool career, and Benitez certainly does not want to lose.

Why did the 442 formation not become popular later?

That's because it is sometimes a waste to have two strikers in front. It is better to have one retreat to create depth.

At this time, Benitez had already seen this, which was also the strength of a master tactician, so he arranged tactics for Baros and Cisse.

"Isn't that the midfielder?"

Traditionally, the person standing behind the forward is either No. 10 or No. 9 and a half, that is, a shadow forward. However, Cisse and Baros are both center forwards and cannot play as an attacking midfielder.

Tactics master Benitez can only explain to them that this is a new trend.

There is indeed no fixed position in football in the future, everyone needs to be good at several different positions.

After the explanation, Cisse and Baros somewhat understood.

"Do you understand?"

The two nodded.

"Only one person needs to be at the front at the same time."

Then Benitez patted Alonso. He was very satisfied with the performance of the Spanish fellow. He can play football with his brain. In other words, Alonso has his own coaching attributes, which can be seen many times.

A vision similar to that of a coach.

Li Qiao was restrained by Heinz. There was nothing we could do about it. Benitez also knew how powerful Argentina was.

"Not bad." He encouraged.

The other is Gerrard, the soul of the team.

Gerrard was the most active player in the first half, and for him, Benitez had nothing to say.

Benitez has something to say about the two central defenders Hyypia and Carragher. Compared with the opponent's two central defenders, his own central defender is a little too conservative.

Every time the opponent gets a free kick, the central defender rushes forward. The opponent's goal in the first half was also scored by Sylvester.

"When our side gets a corner kick, you should take at least one."

"Um."

At this time, reporters on the scene had obtained news about Keane, and there was even news that Ferguson and Keane had fallen out.

Ever since the Beckham incident, the Manchester United dressing room has become very sensitive. This is what fans are most worried about. Beckham had to leave in the end because it was impossible to stay at Manchester United if he disobeyed Ferguson.

Got off.

Martin Taylor said: "I heard that Roy went home. This is a very bad signal. Manchester United must maintain discipline."

Ferguson came out of the tunnel with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.

But he knows, and everyone should know it, then the only thing he can do is win the game, and it may be easier after the game. If he loses, then the matter will be even worse.

Although Manchester United's big boss is Ferguson, the real boss is actually the fans, and Ferguson knows this very well.

There was a huge boo, needless to say, it was the Liverpool players who came out. Just after they came out of the closed tunnel, the huge boo will inevitably make people's eardrums uncomfortable.

Ferguson carefully observed the Liverpool side and counted the number of people. It was still the same people as in the first half. Benitez did not make substitutions at the beginning of the second half.

Ferguson is more afraid of Riise and Hamann. These two players are very tough and more suitable for the rhythm of the Premier League.

And Alonso?

After Veron, Sir Alex Ferguson no longer has a good impression of these technical players. It seems difficult for such players to adapt to the Premier League.

But in fact, technical players can also play in the Premier League, but it is really difficult to adapt to Manchester United. Thinking about what Veron, Forlan, and Mata experienced at Manchester United, you will feel that Manchester United does not seem to have this style.

Benitez is also paying attention to Manchester United and there are no substitutions, but Alan Smith has been running in the warm-up and seems to be ready to play at any time.

Alan is a tough guy type of player, and he is also the type that Ferguson particularly likes. He patted Alan and told him to be ready to play at any time, and then returned to the bench.

The players of both sides stood still and the game was about to begin. The referee was not relaxed. He knew that the double red meeting was always the most intense game.

Sometimes there are red and yellow cards flying all over the place.
