Chinese players in Europe

Chapter 447 The Great War Begins ([-])

Mo Fei and van der Vaart originally wanted to stop to sign autographs and take photos with the fans, but the frenzy of boos from Manchester United fans was too huge. For the sake of their safety, the staff put them on the bus as soon as possible.

The team bus arrived at the hotel where they were staying, and there were still many well-informed Manchester United fans waiting at the door to boo them, but the Tottenham players went straight into the hotel room as if they couldn't hear or see.

The game will be played at 6:15 that night. After a short meeting in the morning, Redknapp arranged a short training session to let the players get used to the turf of the Old Trafford stadium. Redknapp Knapp has never been very satisfied with this piece of turf, because Tottenham are now more on the road of ground cooperation, and the not-so-flat Old Trafford stadium is obviously not up to the ideal turf level in his mind. Thorn's short pass coordination will have a big impact.

While Tottenham were undergoing adaptive training, countless Manchester United fans once again poured into Trafford Park, and once again sent overwhelming boos to the Tottenham soldiers. They were using this method to interfere with Tottenham's normal life Training, and leaving a shadow in their hearts, hoping to achieve a state that affects their game.

The Tottenham players are really annoying, but they can't do anything about it. This is someone else's territory, so they can't openly fight with each other, right?The number of opposing fans is hundreds to thousands of times theirs, and one person can drown them with a single mouthful of saliva.

In the end, all Tottenham players could only anesthetize themselves with an ostrich mentality, pretending to turn a deaf ear, but vowing in their hearts that they must give Manchester United a little color in the game.

After the morning training, Tottenham coach Redknapp held a brief press conference at the hotel where he stayed. This press conference was mainly to disclose to the media and fans the injustice that Tottenham suffered after they came to Manchester. Redknapp said that Tottenham came here for the game and the pursuit of victory, not to listen to the endless boos of the fans. ridiculing.The behavior of Manchester United fans has seriously affected the pre-match preparations of Tottenham players.

The press conference was broadcast live across England. Almost every fan who followed the top game heard Redknapp’s speech. Many fans condemned the behavior of Manchester United fans, believing that it violated fair play. The principle is unsportsmanlike.However, Manchester United did not make any response. The fans of the home team still gathered outside the hotel where the Tottenham players stayed, and the crazy boos did not stop for a moment.

Surprisingly, Arsenal's head coach, Professor Arsene Wenger, who has been at loggerheads with Tottenham, changed his previous hostile attitude towards rivals in the same city. When Redknapp made these remarks, he tweeted to Tottenham expressed their solidarity and sneered at Manchester United's behavior: "This is their usual trick! In addition to using strength and violence to win, what they are best at is disrupting the opponent's mentality so that they can win without fighting. The purpose of defeating others. It is undeniable that this is very effective. Almost eight out of ten victories have been obtained by this means. I recommend other Premier League teams to follow their example. This method is worth all goals. Team study!"

Sir Alex Ferguson, the head coach of Manchester United, was uncomfortable seeing his old opponent with whom he had been at loggerheads for 20 years. In an interview with reporters, he first clarified that the behavior of the fans of the home team can only represent their personal wishes, and all this is not Manchester United. Instigated by the club, in fact, Manchester United has been working hard to create a comfortable away environment for other Premier League teams and even all visiting teams who come here.He appealed to the fans to take a calm look at this top game. This is just an ordinary Premier League. There are still [-] rounds left in the league. Whoever wins and who loses does not mean who is the final winner.

As for Arsenal coach Wenger who jumped out to accuse Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson said mockingly: "I don't know why he always jumps out to accuse Manchester United, maybe it's because they haven't had a championship for five years? Don't they? Always feeling jealous of what United have achieved? If so, then I understand Arsene's feelings."

What Ferguson said was a bit arrogant. This is his character. The Scottish old man has always been a person who refuses to admit defeat and has the courage to challenge, and what he said is true. Manchester United is a well-deserved giant of the Premier League, even if it is to compete with it Arsenal, which has lasted for 20 years, is far behind in terms of honor.Ferguson and his team have indeed arrogant qualifications.

Ferguson's remarks about Arsenal's pain obviously made Wenger very angry, but he couldn't refute it. Although Arsenal has countless fans all over the world, they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of club honor , What Ferguson said is the truth, he has no room for refutation.

"If Arsenal can always meet opponents who don't resist, then the honor we have won will not go to them!" This is Wenger's response.He refers to the fact that Manchester United's championship every season always has a lot of water, because many teams directly disarm and surrender when they encounter the giant Manchester United, because in their view, no matter how hard they try, they will never win. It is the opponent of the opponent, so it is better to save energy to deal with other league opponents.

This is not sensational. This situation does exist, especially in relegation teams. When facing giant teams such as Chelsea and Manchester United, the head coach will often send a substitute lineup to play, saving energy and relegation. Competing with direct opponents, it will be easier for the giants to win.

At this point, Arsenal are absolute victims.Although they are also the giants of the Premier League, they behave more like a polite gentleman more often, just like their playing style, flowing, smooth and gorgeous, and the mercury-like offense is what all Gunners fans are proud of. But their shortcoming is that their confrontation ability is too weak. To put it bluntly, they play softly. Many teams know that they are not as strong as Arsenal, but they have to resist to the end. The method they use is lethal tactics.This method is obviously very effective. Arsenal often have nothing to do with the opponent's iron barrel formation, and from time to time they still lose troops under the opponent's shovel.

Ferguson naturally knew what Wenger meant, but he still had a dismissive and indifferent tone: "What if? Ha, is there an if on the football field? Victory is the goal that all teams pursue? Are there really ifs?" If so, then we are the kings of Europe every season!"

Ferguson's words made Wenger very angry, and the remarks of Tottenham coach Redknapp, the object of his support, directly made him go crazy: "Is the match between Tottenham and Manchester United in this round? I thought the competition The two teams at the top of the list are Arsenal and Manchester United? I don't know why they jumped out of nowhere to intervene between us. I think Arsene is completely self-indulgent. No one from Tottenham will thank him. solidarity. For us, their voices make us feel irritated!"

Redknapp's remarks did not save Arsenal any face, and he was not afraid of offending the opponent, because there was no need for this at all.Tottenham and Arsenal have been rivals in the same city for almost a century. He is not worried that Arsenal supporters will spit on him at all. He has long been accustomed to the saliva and abuse of opposing fans on weekdays.His comments only served to deflate and cheer the Spurs fans.

The elegant professor was severely hit by Redknapp and Ferguson's joint ridicule, so he simply stopped participating in the "war of words" between the two teams.

Redknapp paid no attention.He thanked Ferguson for persuading Manchester United fans not to create chaos, and then he revealed a little about the players in this game. Dawson and Kabul, who were absent due to injuries in the last round, will enter the 18-man squad. Ledley King, the backbone of the influenza defense, is also expected to return. Of course, Mo Fei, who has returned to form, must be the main force that cannot be shaken.

After noon, the atmosphere of the game became more intense. There were already crowds of people near the Old Trafford Stadium of the European Dream Theater. Two rows of red fans lined the road waiting for the team's arrival. A few Tottenham fans in white or black jerseys hurried through the crowd like a drop in the ocean.

Of course, there are also many places where fans of the two teams confronted each other. Supporters of the two teams provoked each other and even pointed at each other and cursed.However, there are also some places where Manchester United fans and Tottenham fans coexist peacefully. After all, the two cities are opposed to each other. However, in the past history, the fans of the two teams have no record of fighting against each other. They even have a common enemy, which is the Gunners Arsenal. .Of course, this kind of peace is only temporary. When it comes to the game, the fans of the two teams will definitely want to eat their opponents alive.

In the afternoon, after an hour of adaptive training at Old Trafford, Manchester United and Tottenham held a pre-match press conference in the studio.This is a mandatory rule of UEFA, so the head coaches of the two teams brought the captains of their respective teams to the scene.

Could it be that as soon as he entered the press conference, he saw Manchester United's head coach Ferguson sitting on the news stand. Compared with a year ago, he seemed to have no change. He was full of energy, his face was still rosy, and his nose was also red. The red one is no different from an alcoholic Scottish drunk, but with the indifferent aura exuding from his body, people will be intimidated by his aura unconsciously.This is the unique temperament that comes naturally from being in a high position for a long time. To be precise, it is called high-spiritedness.

Ferguson also saw Murphy, for this player he has always admired, Ferguson was not stingy with his smile, he smiled and nodded to Murphy.The two were considered acquaintances, so Could Fei also smiled and nodded in return.

However, Redknapp's face was a bit unnatural. After all, he was the first team coach of Tottenham. Ferguson actually ignored him directly, which made him feel very non-existent.

In fact, this is also the case. Although Tottenham achieved a good league ranking last season, Ferguson really did not pay attention to this team. He paid more attention to the situation of the other giants in the Premier League. After all, Liverpool, The strength of Chelsea and other teams has indeed surpassed Tottenham by a large margin.But this season, Tottenham's momentum made Ferguson look at him with admiration. He actually felt a lot of pressure on his opponent. He knew very well that all this was brought about by the young Chinese man in front of him, so he naturally favored Mo Fei even more. up.
