"What a bastard Allardyce is!"

In front of the away team's dugout at Upton Park in London's East End, Ferguson saw that after the referee Probert's whistle, the Hammers players immediately boldly pressed forward and put on a posture of pressing with all their might.

This made the Scottish old handsome scold indignantly.

Upton Park has given Manchester United a hard time this season.

In the third round of the FA Cup, Manchester United, who had just survived the Christmas devil's schedule, visited Upton Park.

As a result, Sam Allardyce's side gave United a head-on blow on their home turf.

Cleverly opened the scoring for the Red Devils and was followed by back-to-back goals from West Ham to turn the lead around.

In the end, it was Robin van Persie's stoppage-time goal that secured a draw to leave Upton Park and beat West Ham United in the second leg.

Therefore, many people are full of worries about Manchester United's visit to Upton Park.

If you're not careful, you're losing points!

Mike Phelan knows that Ferguson and Allardyce are good friends, and the two have a close relationship with each other, and Allardyce's home is in Bolton, which is very close to Ferguson's home, and the relationship is even more ironclad.

When he was still in charge of Liverpool, Benitez once humiliated Sam Allardyce, and the result was that Ferguson came out for his friend.

So, while people were laughing and scolding their old friends, Mike Phelan was sensibly silent.

"Jazz, we haven't conceded a goal since we played Southampton at home, and we haven't conceded a goal in four games, so it shows that our defense is gradually getting back to its best!"

Compared with that FA Cup, the center-back combination at that time was Vidic and Evans, but now it is Vidic and Ferdinand, and the two center-back combinations are obviously not at the same level!

Besides, four consecutive league games with zero goals conceded and the defense not good enough?

"Don't underestimate Allardyce, he's a dangerous enemy!" Ferguson, on the other hand, was worried.

He knew Allardyce too well, and if he wasn't sure enough about the latter's urine, how could he dare to press it out?

Furthermore, among the local managers in England, the one who attaches the most importance to the analysis of the number is Sam Allardyce.

So, this guy's tactical targeting is also quite good.

Whoever dares to despise him will wait and cry!

Mike Ferran was a little skeptical when he heard Ferguson give his opponent such a high rating.

Is it really that powerful?

If he's really that good, why don't you see him coaching a top team?

Especially when he saw that Manchester United had survived the opening stage of West Ham United's attack, began to grasp the initiative of the game, and played their own attack, he was even more complacent.

But at this time, after the Hammers successfully broke the ball, they quickly counterattacked.

Jarvis crossed from the left and in the box, high striker Andy Carroll beat Evra and headed the ball into the six-yard box.

It was also the tall Portuguese centre-forward who arrived and headed past David De Gea.

1 to 0!

The entire Upton Park stadium burst into thunderous cheers.

Andy Carroll, a high-school striker who hit a career low after moving from Newcastle to Liverpool at a high price, has now regained his life at West Ham United, and his performance is quite good.

Ferguson, on the other hand, closed his eyes with an expression that I couldn't bear to look at.

Mike Phelan next to him was so surprised that his jaw dropped.

It's as simple as that?

Manchester United's defence, is it paper-paste?

Four rounds of the Premier League without conceding a goal, just like that, West Ham United scored two times out of three?

"Mike!" Ferguson opened his eyes again and shouted.

But his assistant was stunned to look at the celebratory Carol and Watzt on the court.

"Mike!" Ferguson had to accentuate his tone and shout harder.

Frankly, he wasn't happy with his assistant coach, sometimes too self-righteous, and sometimes too composed.

Now in this situation, if you lose the ball, can the manager mess up?

"Ah......h Phelan reacted.

"Go, sue them, stabilize the situation, hold the ball, don't mess around, control the ball more!"

"Oh, good!" Mike Phelan hurried to the sidelines and shouted loudly.

Ferguson shook his head and turned and walked to the dugout.

"How's the score on Carrow Road?"

Manchester United play West Ham United at the same time as Southampton's match against Norwich City.

A member of the coaching staff immediately checked, "It's been almost twenty minutes, 0-0!" ”

Ferguson's face softened a little, Norwich's home stadium is still quite terrifying!

"How's the situation?"

The coaching staff checked again, "Judging from the numbers, Southampton should have the advantage, with a 67% possession rate, and Norwich has already received two yellow cards!" ”

Hearing this, Ferguson's brow furrowed again.

Although it is only two simple numbers, he can clearly sketch the scene of the game in his mind.

Southampton dominated possession and were in complete control of the ball, and Norwich tried to get it back in every possible way, but in some cases it was only fouled again and again.

"It's not a good situation!" Ferguson muttered to himself.

He knows better than anyone that Southampton have just been beaten and Manchester United have just accepted the challenge.

If they lose points in this round, it will inevitably greatly boost Southampton's arrogance, and Manchester United's morale will suffer a heavy blow, which will also have a certain impact on the psychology of the players.

The game restarted, and Manchester United, under the adjustment of Ferguson, the players began to consciously control the ball on the pitch.

Manchester United's left and right flanks have been criticised this season, whether it is Ashley Young, Nani or Valencia, all of them have been very unsatisfactory, which has directly affected Manchester United's attacking power.

This, coupled with the long-standing weakness of the lack of hardness in the midfield, has also caused problems in Manchester United's defence.

To that end, Ferguson has also made changes to the squad, especially in the activation of the two wings.

As a result, with Manchester United firmly in control of the ball, Ferguson's adjustments and changes gradually became threatening.

In the 33rd minute, Van Persie pulled the ball to the left and burst forward and crossed into the box.

Japanese Shinji Kagawa took the ball and avoided the defender's block before knocking in front of the goal.

Valencia, who have not scored a goal this season, arrived and pushed in front of goal to score his first goal of the season.

One-to-one!

This goal made Ferguson, who had been waiting for a long time on the sidelines, excited.

"Well, well done!"

United's coaching staff and bench were even more jubilant.

Half an hour, the equalizer was equalized, and there was still an hour left in the game, so it was completely worth playing!

Valencia's goal not only relieved the Manchester United players of heavy psychological pressure, but also relieved Ferguson.

Okay, with the goal, things are so much easier!

"Mike, inform them, keep fighting like this, be patient!" Ferguson gave the order again.

Mike Phelan immediately agreed, running to the sidelines to convey the manager's intentions.

Ferguson stood on the sidelines for a while, seeing that the players were basically still playing according to his requirements, and he was quite satisfied with the situation, nodded with a smile, and turned to walk back.

"How? What's going on on that side of Caro Road? ”

The members of the coaching staff immediately opened the webpage and looked at it for a while, "Well, it's still 0-to-0, no change!" ”

After hearing this, Ferguson grinned and laughed, "The Carrow Road Stadium is the place where the Premier League powerhouses have broken this season, Chris Hughton reorganized their terrible backline last summer, and the strength has increased greatly, Southampton wants to get out of the way, it's difficult!" ”

Norwich's current four main defenders, Garrido, Basson, Michael Turner and Whitaker, were all brought in last summer, with Garrido and Whitaker both on free transfers, with Basson spending four million and Michael Turner spending one and a half million.

More than five million pounds, which is a lot of money for a team like Norwich!

But the effect has also been particularly noticeable, at least Norwich have significantly reduced their goal tally this season.

In fact, as early as Norwich's 0-4 defeat to Manchester United, Ferguson had a hunch that Chris Hughton was going to save his energy to play at home.

Otherwise, how to explain that Chris Hughton did not play the main team before the game, and in the first 75 minutes, when he was down 0-1, he replaced three main players in succession, and as a result, the team conceded three goals in a row and lost 0-4.

"Alright, alright, Chris Hughton, if you can snipe Southampton successfully, I'll make a note of it!"

Ferguson was in a good mood when he heard that the other game was still 0-0.

Manchester United's game against West Ham United, as long as the current situation continues, Ferguson is confident that he can win.

And as long as Manchester United gets three points and Southampton draws, then the Saints should also despair!

At that point, I'm going to see again, who else can say we can't win the championship!

Ferguson's eyes flashed with anger, and he thought through gritted teeth.

In the past few days, he has been in a lot of verbal battles with the Sun.

The shameless newspaper, I don't know if it took Yang Huan's money, actually pestered Ferguson, and the article exposing the black materials of Manchester United and Ferguson was one chapter a day, and I was so angry!

I'm waiting to see how your face looks when you're swollen by Lao Tzu!

But just as Ferguson turned around and was about to go out, the coach who was observing the enemy's situation suddenly let out a surprised sigh and jumped up.

"What's going on?" Ferguson was taken aback.

"Jazz, Southampton......

Ferguson was stunned, and his heart tugged.

“…… Southampton have scored! ”

"What?" Ferguson felt black and dizzy.

There was also an uproar all around.

"Goals? Did Southampton score? ”

"What's going on? Who scored the goal? How did you get in? ”

"It was Neymar who faced the two-man on the left side, forced a breakthrough and crossed low into the penalty area, Ibrahimovic volleyed hard, and now it's 0-1, and the Saints lead!"

Manchester United's coaching staff were a little flustered.

His side had just equalized, but the opponent scored first!

You don't have to guess to know that this must be Southampton's strategy.

Drain Norwich's stamina first, and then attack in the big picture in the closing stages.

With the offensive strength of the Saints, in the next ten minutes, it will definitely be a burst of indiscriminate bombardment of Norwich.

It's over, it's over, what now?

All eyes were on Ferguson.

The Scottish coach is iron-faced, and he is obviously aware of the severity of the game situation!

Turning his head sideways and glancing at the home team's coach's box, it seemed that someone was running to tell him, and Allardyce turned his head and smiled at Ferguson after hearing the news.

This damn guy must have gotten the news too, he must be waiting for Manchester United to mess up!

Bastard, what a bastard, he actually fell into the well!

But Ferguson knew that he had to come up with measures to deal with it now.

"Attack, prepare, adjust at halftime, after the start of the second half, we have to attack, reverse the score, and take the lead first!"

Ferguson shouted immediately.
