However, it's actually more complicated than anyone could have imagined.

Kenyon was going to change jobs, Jiang Feng knew about it early on, and he was ready to deal with it.

Indeed, Kenyon's new role is a huge threat to Manchester United, as imagined by the media. Therefore, Jiang Feng was prepared early. When Kenyon found Jiang Feng and decided to leave Manchester United, Jiang Feng's meaning was very clear, it was okay to leave, but he must not reveal any secrets related to Manchester United.

Initially, Kenyon disagreed with Jiang Feng's point, but the situation was stronger than people, and Kenyon eventually had to make concessions. Otherwise, he will be in big trouble.

After Kenyon agreed never to divulge Manchester United's secrets, Jiang Feng also agreed to his departure.

Despite all the media hype, it doesn't matter much to the players who is the CEO. The person they deal with directly is the coach, not the CEO. If there is a sudden change of head coach, they may be at a loss for a while, but a change of CEO? They are still doing what they are supposed to do.

For example, the newly recruited Ronaldinho and others don't care who will be the manager, anyway, their salary is written on the contract, and the contract has legal effect, so during the validity period of their contract, no matter who will be the CEO, their own salaries and bonuses, the club must pay them accordingly.

Amid the media hype, Manchester United ushered in their first Champions League game of the season, hosting Greek powerhouse Panathinaikos.

Panathinaikos FC is one of the most successful teams in Greek history, having won 18 domestic league titles and 14 Greek cups. Although both of these statistics are not as good as those of arch-rivals Olympiacos, the club's European record is better than that of its rivals. In 1971, Panathinaikos reached the final of the European Champions League, losing 2-0 to Ajax FC and were the only Greek team to reach the final of a European competition. They have since reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Champions League twice.

In previous years, Panathinaikos fell into a period of low ebb. In the seven years since they won the Greek First Division title in 1996, Panathinaikos have not won a single competition.

However, since last year, the team has begun to show signs of recovery. Because they have Emmanuel. Olisadebe, Robert. Jairni, Golan. Fravich, Rene. Henrikson and Georges. Caragonis and a number of other excellent players.

At this time, in the visiting dressing room at Old Trafford, even if the doors and windows are locked, you can still hear the loud noise coming from outside.

"Manchester United! Manchester United! Manchester United! "With an hour to go before the start of the game, the 128,000-seat Old Trafford Stadium was already full after the revamp.

This is after a major revamp at Old Trafford. Manchester United's first Champions League match, Manchester United fans from all over the world flocked to Old Trafford early in the morning, waiting to be entered.

They want to unleash all their passions and drown the invading enemy Panathinaikos with the lava of passion!

At this moment, they are doing just that. Amid their shouts and songs, the Panathinaikos fans couldn't make a sound at all.

Panathinaikos coach Kershum was just about to say two words: "All right, gentlemen......"

Then he was interrupted by the sudden cheers outside.

He had no choice but to keep his mouth shut and wait for the cheers to pass. The United fans were a little weaker before they continued: "...... It's an away game and we're going to have a lot of difficulties......"

Interrupted again, the Manchester United fans outside began to sing. The singing is impassioned and imposing.

Shum smiled helplessly, then spread his hands to his players and said, "I believe you should have a very deep understanding by now......

The visitors' dressing rooms at Old Trafford are poorly insulated. It's a little trick to deal with the away team and interfere with the away team. This stuff is not new, and many teams will have their own tricks. Used against away players.

It stands to reason that in the locker room, it should be a place where you can concentrate 100 percent and do what you are supposed to do. But in order to interfere with the opponent. The away dressing rooms at many stadiums are not as good as they could be. From playing loud music to venting foul-smelling gases into vents, to changing the temperature in the room and providing only cold water, these tricks are the motto of some veterans: "If you can drive your opponent crazy, he may not be able to play properly." ”

A British medical study has shown that the level of stress felt by a leading actor the night before the show is equivalent to the injury of a car accident. So are footballers under similar terrifying pressure? The answer is yes. The live TV broadcast reflected the whole game, and the players were under a lot of pressure while gaining a huge amount of fame, what should they do if they performed badly in a live TV game? Immediately after the game, he will become a sinner who will be criticized by the media and spurned by the fans.

That's a lot of pressure.

Therefore, most players are actually very worried before the game, and some of them are even worried about the day before the game. If the home side use their home advantage to cause some problems in the visitors' dressing room at this time, it will have a bigger impact on their form......

The poor soundproofing of the visiting dressing room at Old Trafford is a trick of the Manchester United club.

Everyone knows that Manchester United is known as the "home of the devil", and the fans here are known for their extreme fanaticism. If the dressing room is not well insulated, the manager's voice is lowered...... So before and during the game, let's use mobile phone text messages to communicate!

Shum is not the kind of person with a loud voice, he waved his hand helplessly: "Forget it, go out and warm up!" ”

When the Manchester United players showed up on the pitch to warm up, they were greeted by more than 100,000 United fans.

United fans cheered on the team with waves of never-ending cheers, songs and shouts, while also continuing to put pressure on Panathinaikos.

Panathinaikos' players are also seasoned, but crazy fans like Manchester United, to be honest, they don't often ......

The Panathinaikos players were clearly influenced by the United fans and were slow to get into the groove from the start of the game.

Schum, sitting on the sidelines, was not anxious about the fact that his team was not getting into shape. At Old Trafford, it doesn't matter if you don't score, as long as you don't concede. So before you get into the form, then defend first, as long as you don't let the opponent score.

For this game, he was well prepared, Drogba's header was great, he had heard of it. To this end, he asked the captain Giannis. Gumas partners with Sotirios. Kilzakos started at centre-back, and one of the two centre-backs was that they both had good headers.

Among them, Gumas has a slight advantage in heading, and his defensive ability in other aspects is also very comprehensive, while Kirzakos's air defense ability is particularly prominent, because he has a height of 1.92 meters, which is a natural advantage, and he is the closest player to Drogba in Panathinaikos's team.

These two defenders, combined with Panathinaikos' defensive system, should help them contain Drogba's goals.

Panathinaikos seems to be slow to heat up, which is good news for Manchester United, they will not be watching the show from the sidelines, waiting for Panathinaikos to get back in form and the two sides will fight in full force – that would be stupid.

Panathinaikos was slow to heat up and didn't do enough pressing up front, which made Keane, who dropped back into a central midfield, feel very relaxed, and he can organize calmly at the back. Then, when the football enters the opponent's half, it suddenly accelerates, looking for a lethal opportunity.

The two wing-backs, Ryan Giggs and Cristiano Ronaldo, will be key in this game.

After the game began, the commentators also took note of the changes at Manchester United.

"Ah...... In this game, Ferguson did not use his usual 442 or 433, but used the infrequent 343 formation. It's a bit of a surprise......"

343 always gives the impression that there are a lot of holes in the backline, and it is not safe at all. Although the defense of the 343 formation is indeed very general and there are many problems, there is another role of 343 that has been ignored by everyone, that is, the super attack, especially the kind of offensive from the side, which is like the rising tide of the sea, wave after wave, endlessly.

Because 343 has eliminated two full-backs and added two full-backs, the positions between the forwards and full-backs are closer, and they can better form a close connection to launch attacks. Unlike the 433, where the distance between the winger and the full-back is too large, it takes more time for the full-back to rush up, and the physical energy consumed is greater, so the risk naturally increases. What if they can't go back once they're up?

There are only two centre-backs at the back.

Today, there are three centre-backs who can spread out and at the same time the midfielders drop back and four defenders, central and wide. The defensive pressure on the wing-backs is not as great and they can put more energy into attacking.

When defending, the two full-backs retreated to become full-backs, the two forwards retreated to become full-backs, and the formation became 541.

In fact, the defensive problem is not as big as everyone thinks.

It's just that this tactic has high requirements for the players' running ability, and it also has high requirements for the awareness of supplemental defense.

In the match against Panathinaikos, Ferguson offered 343 and also had the intention of beating Panathinaikos by surprise.

Panathinaikos was really caught off guard! (To be continued.) )
