Chapter 400: They Will Live in My Shadow Forever
And just like that, Saha was gone.
Before Carrick could report to Manchester United, Saha walked away with a covering, and he went very thoroughly.
Before leaving, Saha said to the Guardian: "Manchester United ruined my year and a half. ”
"The memories of being at Manchester United are completely unbearable. I don't get respect there, I've had no problem with my form, I'm averaging 0.53 goals per game, why can I only be a substitute? ”
'They're going to regret it, this season they're going to have nothing left and they're going to have to watch Chelsea win the title for the next few seasons.'
Saha's resentment towards Manchester United is very deep, originally Ferguson bought Saha to replace Ruud van Nistelrooy, knowing that Rooney and Dong Fangzhuo were born, and in the end Saha could only become a substitute.
However, he complained like this, and not many people sympathized with him, because in the position of center forward, Dong Fangzhuo's data is much brighter, he can't compare at all, with an average of 0.53 per game, and the data of scoring one goal in two games is not bad, but he can't take it in front of Dong Fangzhuo.
However, it is normal for Saha to complain, Ferguson and Manchester United have nothing on their side, but they wish Saha a bright future on the official website and thank him for his outstanding contribution to Manchester United......
Then, before the start of the double red meeting, Ferguson welcomed 25-year-old Michael Carrick as he wished.
Ferguson, on the other hand, gave him the number 16 shirt that Keane had wore.
That means he's one of Ferguson's coveted players......
'Carrick arrives, Manchester United's championship map is almost complete, Carrick is not as reassuring as Keane, but he is very young, and the number 16 shirt is what Ferguson expects from him. The Manchester Evening News was the first to comment on Carrick:
Seat picking: 8
Excellent positional sense, large coverage on the field, and a solid barrier in front of the backline. With him present, maybe Silvester and Pique will be much more reassuring. In addition to defending, Carrick also has excellent passing and handling skills, a combination of long and short passes, and is quite accurate.
Steals: 7
The defense is dominated by card positions, and the rate of steals and kicks is a little slower, but due to the good sense of position, it can play a certain role in compensating for this.
Headers: 8
Good aerial duels and headers help to bolster the defence at the back.
Speed: 6
He is tall and has mediocre speed and explosiveness, but he can keep running at a constant speed and has excellent endurance
Will: 7
It still needs to be tested and sharpened by the competition.
"Maybe it's better to buy a defender than a midfielder, Carrick's arrival seems to solve the problem of leaks in Manchester United's back?"
The Manchester Evening News is looking forward to United's future......
Manchester United recruited and finally brought in the midfielder of their choice, and Mourinho naturally did not let go of the media, and he was caught by the Times reporter for interviews.
"What do you think about Ferguson's purchase of Carrick?"
"Carrick? A nice lad. ”
'But if Carrick comes to Chelsea, he won't have a place at all because there are Essien, Frank Lampard, Claude Makelele and Thiago ......'
'So, I don't care who they buy, because the players that the lord really wants to buy, are here at Chelsea.' Jose Mourinho smiled slyly, having been chased by Manchester United for two points last week, and he was in a terrible mood but now he has regrouped his form.
"Let's see what happens next in the Double Reds, Benitez's side haven't beaten them for a long time, do they want to keep losing? I'm ashamed of the Liverpool fans......"
Mourinho also used the agitation method for Liverpool by the way......
※※※※
Carrick has played in the Premier League for so many years, and it is still very simple to integrate into Manchester United, and Ferguson has already put Carrick into the squad in the last training session before the game, and the effect is average, after all, Carrick is not a talented player.
But when it came time to announce the squad for the Liverpool game, Ferguson still didn't dare to take any chances, and he still chose to trust the brave Smith......
Dong Fangzhuo actually raised his hand to welcome Carrick's arrival, but he felt that it would be better if the lord could buy Kolo Toure's younger brother, Yaya Toure......
The 22-year-old Yaya Toure is definitely much cheaper than Carrick, and I vaguely remember that when he transferred to Barcelona in La Liga from Monaco in Ligue 1, the transfer fee was less than 1,000 euros!
The lord has definitely done a lot of business.
However, when the lord bought Carrick in the summer of 06, it cost 18.5 million pounds, and now it is not expensive to take him for 15 million pounds, but if you compare Carrick with Yaya Toure, Carrick is really not comparable......
Although you are the captain of Manchester United, in fact, Dong Fangzhuo has no right to recommend candidates to Ferguson, it depends on coincidence, such as when he was in the capital.
Another point is that Ferguson is too anxious, and after seeing the hope of catching up with Chelsea, he doesn't have much time to think about it so much, so he wants to add reinforcements as soon as possible.
However, Manchester United still has time to contact Yaya Toure, Dong Fangzhuo searched on the Internet, 22-year-old Yaya Toure is still mixed in the Greek league, Ferguson can still take him before he becomes famous, at least, Ferguson does not need to always buy players with British hukou, expensive and not top-notch......
After all, one day, when Manchester United stands at the top of Europe and faces the powerful giants such as Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Bayern Munich, the current configuration is really not enough......
To miss is to miss.
Dong Fangzhuo wants to buy more teammates, like 18-year-old Brazilian left-back Marcelo, aren't these all good additions to Manchester United?
The 16-year-old Bell, who is still in Southampton, is especially the price of Chinese cabbage......
Although the buyer has nothing to do with him, he now feels that he really needs to find a way to influence Ferguson and build a better team for Manchester United.
If you can walk more steadily, why should it be as difficult as before?

Liverpool are here again, and they are menacing.
Everyone knows that the "red derby" against Liverpool on Sunday is a real shame to lose. Especially as Manchester United continue their resurgence this season and catch up with Chelsea in the table, the clash at Old Trafford is destined to surround the flames of hatred.
'No matter how Arsenal and Chelsea change, our hatred for Manchester United will not lessen. Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard stepped up to take a stand.
Liverpool and Manchester are only 30 miles apart, and a single road connects the two cities, which also carries the two teams' 100-year feud with England.
"If I didn't have a title, then beating Manchester United would have been my greatest achievement. Every Liverpudlian is proud of the win over Manchester United. Because they are the most successful club in England like us. We couldn't stand the other side's victory, as if we were trampled underfoot. ”
"Everyone knows that Chinese Dong, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney have been responsible for most of Manchester United's goals. Therefore, our defense line will do its best to stop them. We are more than capable of keeping them in vain. ”
Steven Gerrard's confidence comes from a solid defence that has conceded 11 goals so far in the league, with Carragher and Hyypia at the back, plus Reyna at the back, with the Reds losing just once on the road this season.
In the face of Gerrard's rhetoric, Manchester United captain Dong Fangzhuo also challenged his old rival before the game: "For both sides, this game is not only about the league standings. Beating Liverpool has always been what Manchester United want to do. Both Manchester United players and fans are looking forward to this great match. ”
'But Gerrard don't forget that they lost to us at home in the last game, let alone at home this time. Hyypia and Carragher are strong, but they will always live in my shadow. ”
"If you don't believe me, go and ask them......"
