Chapter 260: Unconventional Competition
In the end, Ma Liangxing also asked a few doubts in his heart.
"Mr. Jiang, I have a few doubts, I wonder if you can help me solve them?" Ma Liangxing asked Jiang Fengdao.
Jiang Feng has an average impression of this middle-aged man, and in fact, he knows less about Ma Liangxing. He only knew that the somewhat sad head coach of the women's football team had become a scapegoat for the unsatisfactory performance of the women's football team in this Women's World Cup two months later, and resigned. As for what happened after that, Jiang Feng didn't know.
However, for the sake of him being the head coach of the women's football team, Jiang Feng still nodded.
"Mr. Jiang, what are your considerations for having the women's football team play a teaching warm-up match with your Manchester United team?" Ma Liangxing asked the question that bothered him the most.
No matter what aspect it is, Jiang Feng's arrangement doesn't make sense. If it is purely from a commercial point of view, it is much better than women's football to arrange a warm-up match between the national football team and even a domestic A club team and Manchester United. If it is for Manchester United, it should also arrange a stronger opponent for Manchester United to play a warm-up match, right? What's more, Manchester United has ended its warm-up season in the United States. If it is for the sake of women's football, it should also be arranged for a women's football team to play against it. This is a mixed men's and women's competition, which is really incomprehensible.
In particular, Manchester United is also recognised as the top club in the world, the Premier League's dominant side, which became the only four Treble winners in the world four years ago, and only in the last Premier League season, the team overcame another Premier League giant, Arsenal, to win the Premier League's eighth league title since its inception.
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Teacher Ma, if I say that it is to make the women's football team adapt to the upcoming Women's World Cup earlier, do you believe it?" ”
Ma Liangxing looked at Jiang Feng puzzled.
"Teacher Ma, you should know that in the past two years. The development trend of women's football is gradually moving closer to men's style of play, especially Brazil and Germany, two women's football powerhouses, they are moving closer to men's football style very obviously. As for other strong teams in Europe and the United States, because their players are relatively strong, they also have a tendency to move closer to men's football. However, our women's football team still hasn't changed much. If you go to the competition in your current state, you will definitely suffer. Jiang Feng said.
"This ...... Probably not, right? Ma Liangxing said with some disbelief.
Jiang Feng smiled, people are like this. If you don't really suffer a loss, you won't believe what others say.
"Teacher Ma, if that's the case, let's leave it alone. Let's talk about the next game. My Manchester United team, although there are fierce players like Drogba and Keane, there are also players with outstanding skills like Ronaldinho and Cristiano Ronaldo. And during the game, Sir Alex Ferguson will also limit my players to rely on their physical strengths to play against our women's girls. It can be said that the game that will be played will be a real artistic football. So. You don't have to worry about the girls in the women's football team getting hurt during the game. Jiang Feng said.
Ma Liangxing smiled embarrassedly and said, "That's good." ”
After a pause, Ma Liangxing asked again: "Mr. Jiang, I still have a doubt. That's why would you rather sponsor women's football than men's football? ”
Jiang Feng looked at Ma Liangxing, smiled and said, "Teacher Ma, you have also mixed in the men's football circle, what kind of virtue is the current domestic men's football." I think you know better than I am, an outsider. Such a men's football team, even if I sponsor them, is it useful? ”
"This ......" Ma Liangxing looked very embarrassed. Although he is now the head coach of the women's football team. But his profession is men's football, Jiang Feng said this, Chinese men's football, Ma Liangxing is naturally disgraced. It's just that he doesn't have anything to refute.
Men's football is really not powerful!
Jiang Feng said: "Although we successfully entered the World Cup finals two years ago, to be honest, it was not because of our strength, but because we took advantage of the World Cup being held in our neighbors. If Japan and South Korea hadn't appeared directly because of the host, whether we could have qualified or not, I believe you know better than me, Mr. Ma. As for our performance at last year's World Cup, it was even more overwhelming, and the results were already there. If it weren't for Saudi Arabia, a difficult brother and sister, and France, the unlucky defending champion, I think our national team would really become a team with a lot of attention, but the reason is really embarrassing. ”
Ma Liangxing looked even more embarrassed.
At this time, Jiang Feng said again: "If our national team can rely on their true strength to enter the World Cup finals again, what is the problem with my sponsorship?" Don't say it's 100 million yuan, even if it's 1 billion yuan, I don't blink an eye. It's just that there is a question mark over whether this kind of thing will be able to be seen in my lifetime. ”
Seeing Ma Liangxing's bitter expression, Jiang Feng didn't say anything more and said goodbye and left.
Two days later, on the weekend, Jiang Feng's special plane took off from the Capital International Airport and flew thousands of miles away to the United Kingdom. On the plane, there were not only Jiang Feng and several of his bodyguards, but also Ronaldo's girlfriend Park Yuna, and then all the members of this year's national women's football team and the coaching staff and other staff.
On the fourth day of the women's football team's arrival in Manchester, that is, at 4 p.m. local time in the United Kingdom, the match between the Chinese women's football team and Manchester United officially began.
Although Jiang Feng was still with Cheryl in Newcastle in the morning on this day, he still rushed back to Manchester at noon to watch this rare men's and women's football match. This was planned by Jiang Feng, not only to help the Chinese women's football team improve its confrontation and skills, but also to anger the Chinese Football Association.
Such a wonderful game, how could Jiang Feng miss it?
"Boss, you're finally here, I thought you weren't coming." Manchester United CEO Kenyon welcomed Jiang Feng and his party into Jiang Feng's box. However, at this time, there were already several people sitting in the box.
"Hey, William, Beatrice, why are you here too?" After Jiang Feng saw the people in the box, he was surprised, and immediately stepped forward to greet him warmly.
Jiang Feng was a little mentally prepared for Princess Beatrice to come to the game, and Jiang Feng had already seen that the British princess had a good impression of him. But Prince William also came, which made Jiang Feng very surprised.
"Ha, Jiang, how can I not come to such an interesting competition? Besides, Beatrice asked me to come with her, and I didn't dare not come. Prince William said with a smile.
For today's game, it affects the hearts of hundreds of millions of fans around the world. The men's and women's football teams played the same game, and this was an extremely interesting game. Of course, for all the fans, they are not focusing on the outcome of this match, but on its result. The Chinese women's football team was the runner-up of the last Women's World Cup. So what will the world runners-up women's football team do against Manchester United, one of the best club teams in the world? Especially after Ferguson's extremely high-profile declaration that he would never use men's congenital physical advantages to bully the Chinese women's football team, this game was even more interesting.
Especially Manchester United has both beast players like Drogba and Keane, as well as handsome guys like Ronaldo and Torres, as well as representatives of samba football like Ronaldinho, will the girls of the women's football be frightened by Drogba and Keane's fierce appearance? Will you be captivated by the handsome faces of Cristiano Ronaldo and Torres? Wondering if he was played by a god of football art like Ronaldinho?
These are all things that the major British media talk about.
In anticipation, with a whistle, this game, which has attracted the attention of fans around the world, officially began.
In this game, Manchester United discharged an unconventional 433 formation, the goalkeeper position is the old goalkeeper Van der Sar, who was introduced from Fulham in the summer, and the defenders are half newcomers and half old men: Gary Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra; The forward guard is led by the veteran Ryan Giggs with two Ronaldo, of which Ronaldinho is in the center, Ronaldo is on the right, and Giggs is on the left; Up front, Ruud van Nistelrooy is partnered by Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie.
However, of the three strikers, Wayne Rooney lagged behind a bit. So, strictly speaking, Manchester United's formation is 4312.
As for the savage player Drogba and captain Keane in everyone's eyes, they did not even come on as a substitute in the back, and the three substitutes were Torres, Robben and Scholes.
As Ferguson said before, the Manchester United players did not take advantage of the innate advantages of men at all, but played technical football with the women's football girls.
After getting through the initial nervousness and apprehension, as well as the fear of the power style of play of the Premier League team, the women's football girl found that the opponent was just playing with her skills, and she let go of her baggage. After all, I knew before the game that I was going to lose, after all, it was a woman, and it was normal to lose to a man in such a competitive game. But now that the other party is playing technology, then you can fight it.
For 90 minutes, all the fans who watched the game could only sigh in one word - art football.
In this game, Manchester United completely showed a different style of play from the Premier League teams. Ronaldinho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ryan Giggs and others sent by Ferguson to the field gave full play to their respective skills, the dazzling skills, and the short pass coordination that was so exquisite that it could be measured by calipers, fully demonstrated that Ferguson has always insisted on the kind of football with wings flying together and fast offensive and defensive transitions.
