The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 186
Beckham finally appeared in the Arena Stadium.

After the training session yesterday morning, the conversation with Ferguson at the Carrington training base was interpreted by the media as a reconciliation between two men who love each other like a father and son. Afterwards, the club, Ferguson and Beckham also issued statements successively, proving that Beckham Ham has accepted Ferguson's private apology, and the flying shoe incident has come to an end.

Sometimes, people just like to hide their ears and steal their bells so much.

Ye Qiu stood in front of the coaching bench of the home team, watching the Manchester United players walk out of the tunnel one by one. When he saw Beckham, under his long blond hair, there were two bandages crossed on the brow bone of his left eye. It was when Beckham deliberately pulled his hair back to expose the injury to his eyebrows more clearly.

Many people said that they reconciled, but Ye Qiu would not believe it. There may have been a close relationship between the two of them, like a father and son, but all of this has passed. The estrangement in the past few years, but it can still be managed. The relationship that was maintained has now completely disappeared with this flying shoe.

Beckham pulled his hair back on purpose to disgust Ferguson and to remind Ferguson and everyone that even though we have reconciled on the surface, our relationship has been completely broken. To hide the fact of the bloody wound.

It's not that I'm sorry for you, it's that you are too cruel to me!
It is very difficult to say who is right and who is wrong in this relationship, and it is very difficult to say who should be responsible for the breakup. The same thing happens in countless families. Are there few cases where father and son fall out because of their daughter-in-law?
"Tell Arteta to be careful with Beckham, Robben is going to suppress Gary Neville!" After Ye Qiu saw Beckham, he reminded his assistants again, and Roland immediately conveyed Ye Qiu's words to the players.

Many people just remember that Beckham is handsome, the Spice Girls, and his commercial value, but they forget that he is actually a very, very professional player, and the more critical moments he is, the more he can show own sense of professionalism.

I still remember that after the flying shoes incident, Ferguson criticized Beckham in the past, causing many media to suspect that Beckham lacked professional ethics, but this guy is good enough. In the next few months, he became the performance of the Manchester United team. The most outstanding player completely overturned everyone's attacks and impressions of him, and then, Xia Tian left!

The same thing happened again in Real Madrid. Capello announced that he would block Beckham, but people were not convinced, especially after the announcement of the transfer to the American Major League during the winter break, it made Real Madrid and Capello furious. , But in the end, in Real Madrid's super reversal, Beckham was the biggest contributor.

As the head coach, Ye Qiu is very clear that such things as professional ethics are not something to talk about.

There are always a group of people who speak well and have more professional ethics than anyone else, but what they do is the most unprofessional thing; and there are so many people who seem to be the most unprofessional, but In fact, they are notoriously self-disciplined and have very high demands on themselves.

This world is like this, what you see with your eyes, what you hear with your ears may not be true.

…………

…………

Everyone can see that the Red Devils empire built by Ferguson is already in jeopardy. This season is his last chance to lead Class 92 to the Champions League. Everyone believes that after the end of this season, Class 92 will collapse.

This year's Champions League final was held at Old Trafford, which made Manchester United's desire for this championship more than ever before, so Ferguson attached great importance to this game, because since yesterday, Ajax has Become Manchester United's number one competitor to qualify for the top spot in the group.

But unlike everyone who thought that Manchester United should play more safely in the away game, Ferguson's starting tactics at the Arena were very active, very proactive, and played Manchester United's offensive characteristics from the very beginning.

Manchester United's starting lineup for this game is still 442, the goalkeeper Butters, the defense line is Sylvester, Brown, Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville, and the midfielder is Giggs, Roy Kee En, Scholes and Beckham, the double striker is Ruud van Nistelrooy and Solskjaer.

In just 2 minutes of the opening, Scholes passed the ball in the middle. Giggs from the left stepped in and shot a long shot, which hit Ajax's side net. This made tens of thousands of Ajax in the stands The Kekes fans were taken aback, thinking that Manchester United scored the first goal after the opening and scored a goal.

But just 1 minute later, Manchester United's offensive came back, Keane passed the ball from midfield, and Scholes shot another long shot from outside the penalty area.

Manchester United's offensive tactics have achieved certain results, but Ajax did not retreat defensively as Manchester United expected. Instead, they took measures to stabilize the situation and tried to confront Manchester United head-on. to fight back.

Ye Qiu is not completely without confidence. After Ajax's winter break training camp, the start of the second half was amazing, and the defense has been improved. Mascherano's performance in the recent games has also become better and better. Well, Ye Qiu has enough confidence to go head-to-head with Manchester United.

That is, yesterday, there was a news from Germany that Leverkusen's head coach Top Mueller was fired by the team. The reason is that Leverkusen fell from the Sanya king last season to the current Bundesliga relegation zone. Leverkusen was completely disappointed with Top Muller and dismissed him. The youth team coach Thomas Horst took over the team for the time being.

Before such a crucial group stage, the sudden announcement of a coaching change, everyone can see that Leverkusen has lost the chance to qualify for the group stage, unless Horst can play the strength of the miraculous firefighting coach and lead Leverkusen Sen won the remaining four games in the group, but in this way, what about the relegation problem of the Bundesliga?

From the moment Leverkusen announced the coaching change, the main battlefield is in the Bundesliga, and the Champions League has been abandoned.

It is also because of this news that Manchester United and Ajax, as the two teams most likely to qualify in this group, dared to take such a risk in this game. Test the team.

Manchester United's problem is defense. Ferguson wants to use aggressive tactics to consider the team. In this case, how powerful the defense can be, and Ye Qiu also needs to consider the team's offense and defense.

Being pressed by the visiting team, such an opening is rare in the Arena Stadium. Fortunately, Ajax did not retreat to defend, but adopted a counter-attack tactic on the spot, and their first attack appeared in the 8th. minute.

Lucio steals the ball, Kivu gets the ball and throws a long pass. Robben quickly penetrates the Manchester United defense, trying to stop the ball with his chest, but the French goalkeeper Butters suddenly strikes and picks the ball out of mid-air. Next, Ajax's first threatening attack was resolved, but the process made Ferguson unable to sit still.

He dared to attack the ball that just entered the penalty area. If he was inaccurate, wouldn't he give up the entire goal to Robben?

"It seems that the young Chinese is also planning to confront us head-on, and he will not give in!" Carlos Queiroz turned his head and looked at Ye Qiu. He was also standing on the sidelines directing the team, but never For his age, he looks like a player.

Ferguson snorted coldly, "So what?"

Ferguson is famous for his tough temper. The Manchester United team under his command has never been ambiguous in fighting tough battles. If the opponent is strong, they will be stronger than the opponent. If the opponent is tough, they will be tougher than the opponent. It can be said that Ferguson's This character is deeply engraved into the soul of Manchester United, and this team seems to be Ferguson's will.

"They don't retreat. With their counterattack speed, our defense is very dangerous!" Carlos? Queiroz reminded.

Manchester United's defensive problems are no secret. Everyone knows that although Rio Ferdinand has been introduced this season to strengthen the defense, Ferdinand's partner has not performed well. In addition, Ferdinand himself has not performed well. Stability, how can Manchester United's defense be stable?

Ferguson's attitude towards defense has always been towards cultivation rather than introduction. If it is not impossible, I am afraid he will not introduce Stam and Ferdinand, because in his opinion, the defensive system is the most important, and the personal strength of the players is not important. .

This statement itself is correct, but the problem is that when a team is strong to a certain extent and the confrontation of the system no longer has an advantage, the individual strength and performance of the players will play a decisive role in the game.

Carlos Queiroz's concerns are not unfounded. If Ajax retreats to their own half, then once they want to fight back, they must pass at least 60 meters before they can threaten Manchester United's goal. But if they stand still , if you don't retreat, the distance is likely to be shortened to 40 meters, or even shorter.

With the advancing speed of Ajax's two sides, coupled with their passing ability in the midfield, such a counterattack will be difficult to resist.

"Is it dangerous?" Ferguson smiled proudly. Of course he knew that he had been playing tactics all his life. Would he not know the danger?
"I just want to give it a try. Besides, our defense line is not strong. If we choose to defend and let Ajax attack, we may not be able to defend!"

The game against Arsenal taught Ferguson a lot of lessons. Facing Wiltord, Ferdinand and Brown were defended by the Frenchman. a more comprehensive understanding.

Defense may not be able to defend, it is better to attack, but the hope will be greater.

Carlos Queiroz listened on the sidelines, and he was not convinced, because in his opinion, this is a strategy of fighting for life, and it is a taboo in tactics, because tactics are fundamentally about seeking stability. And Ferguson is taking a risk, a gamble.

But to a certain extent, Ye Qiu is also betting. Instead of retreating and counterattacking, he chooses to go head-to-head with Manchester United. This is also a bet, so this game is not a very tactical game, but more like It is a contest of will between the two head coaches.

They are all betting on who will score first!
In other words, bet on who can score more goals!

"Over the years, even though Manchester United have desperately tried to make themselves more inclined to the mainland, in fact, they still have such a strong and indelible taste of traditional British football in their bones."

In the stands of the Arenal Stadium, Pini Zahavi commented on the game against Roman Abramovich.

"British traditional football is direct, rough and long pass, and Keane can best reflect the traditional British football. He has a violent personality and likes physical confrontation. He can't tolerate the slow way of combing the ball. They prefer to use direct collision. to resolve the confrontation, and they like to do all the things they can."

At the end, Zahavi added, "The same is true for Vieira, they are the two strongest midfielders in the Premier League!"

This is not wrong. It is actually difficult for Keane and Vieira to clarify their tasks. There is offense and organization in the defense, but the problem is that their offense and organization are not like the organizers of the continental system.

As a typical representative of the continental organizers, Veron seems very out of place in the Premier League.

"So, Roman, you see, the division of labor in Ajax's midfield is very clear and organized, especially Arteta, the Spaniard has strong organizational skills, and he can sort out the ball slowly when it is time to slow down. , He can be fast when it should be fast, and Sneijder's pass is fast, he is responsible for threatening passes."

As a player agent, Zahavi still has strong basic skills, otherwise, there is no way to fool a super rich like Abramovich to rely on him, so when Abramovich is watching the game, Zahawi Wei was in charge of commenting on the sidelines, even though the Premier League coach Souness was sitting next to them.

"The future Premier League must be continental. This is very clear, because the income from European competitions is very important to any team, even Manchester United. To achieve better results in the European arena, and in order to achieve this goal, it is an inevitable result to change the tactical style to the continental system."

Souness, who was on the side, was a little unhappy when he heard this, because in this way, no matter which team Abramovich buys, he, a traditional Premier League coach, will be expelled from the candidate list.

"I don't think so. At least Manchester United's Champions League in 99 showed that the Premier League style can beat continental teams to a certain extent." Souness is a traditional Englishman, proud and a little bit closed.

After hearing this, Zahavi smiled, "I don't deny the greatness of Manchester United's triple crown in 99, but tell me, when Manchester United faced the strong mainland teams that year, there were a few games where Manchester United had an advantage." ? How many more games are reversed?"

Whether it is against Juventus or Bayern Munich in the final, Manchester United has reversed, and these two reversals are very dangerous.

If it was just once, it can be said to be accidental, but two consecutive reversals, you can say that Manchester United has a strong will in their bones and is good at playing against the trend. Why is it strong?At that time, Manchester United's lineup was second to none in the Premier League!

Souness was speechless when asked by Zahavi. He is a player, so he may not be very good at the tactical level.

"Pini, according to what you said, if you want to rebuild a team and make a name for yourself in the Premier League and Europe in the shortest possible time, you can't continue to follow the traditional style of the Premier League, but should follow the continental style?" Abramovich asked.

Zahavi nodded, "Wenger's changes to Arsenal over the years are obvious, and Ferguson has also been changing towards a continental style in recent years. The two of them are the most suitable candidates. Continental style, but it is very difficult to get them to coach."

Hire a head coach from outside to coach in the Premier League. Because you are not familiar with it, it is easy to copy the mainland. This will hit a wall in the Premier League, but if you look for it in the Premier League, most of them are Souness, let alone in the Premier League. Whether it can be played out, even if it is in the European arena, it is the one who is looking for abuse.

"Familiar with the style of the Premier League, you can do it as long as you give it a certain amount of time, but it is not something anyone can do to become a continental player, especially if you can lead a re-established team in the shortest possible time. Winning the championship requires the strength of the head coach even more."

When talking about this, Zahavi laughed, "Some head coaches have limited qualifications and can only play in mid-range teams for a lifetime, while some head coaches are good at blending teams, but want to lead the team to break through the bottleneck and win the championship. They don't have that kind of ability, and some head coaches are born to bring the team championship, no one can explain why, but they are born winners!"

After hearing this, Abramovich's eyes lit up and he looked towards the Arena. Ye Qiu and Ferguson were standing in front of the coach benches of the home and away teams. ?”

"The last one!" Zahavi smiled without hesitation.

"Why?" Abramovich wondered, after all, Ye Qiu was too young.

"Because he dared to fight Ferguson!"

This explanation is strange, not only for Abramovich, but also for Souness.

Just because he dared to fight Ferguson, so he belongs to the last category?
But thinking about it carefully, Ye Qiu has indeed been a professional winner in the four years since his debut.

When leading the second team, they won the Dutch Cup championship that professional teams dream of. The second year is the UEFA Cup and the defending Dutch Cup. The third year is the Eredivisie League and the Dutch Cup. The three fronts go hand in hand.

To say that he has won so many honors, Ye Qiu is not a professional champion, who else would say he is?
"Football is never just a contest of tactics and player strength. The team's willpower is also very important. Manchester United in 99 is the biggest proof, and this willpower often comes from the head coach. That's why I say, Ye Qiu and Like Ferguson, it's the last one."

Abramovich smiled after hearing this, "Then tell me, who can win this game?"

Zahavi laughed, shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's hard to say.

Souness on the side snorted softly, obviously not convinced by Zahavi's statement, "I don't think it's hard to say, because from the beginning, Manchester United clearly had the advantage, and they also had the advantage in terms of strength. A goal, so this game, I think Manchester United must win!"

He said it very firmly.

Zahavi obviously guessed what Souness was thinking, knowing that the famous Premier League coach was not convinced by his evaluation of Ye Qiu, so he smiled, did not explain or refute, and let him go.

Abramovich looked at Souness, smiled and continued to watch the game without saying anything.
