Debora was right, the glory did give Ferguson a headache.

Just a few weeks ago, in that city-to-town derby between Manchester City and Manchester United, Ferguson's defensive tactics against Glory were ineffective.

Before that game, Ferguson was quite confident in his strategy, squeezing Glory to the side, and although it couldn't freeze him completely, it allowed him to make the threat a lot less.

But everyone has seen the final result, Glory was indeed trapped by Ferguson's tactics for a time in that game, but he soon got out of trouble, two goals and an assist, Glory alone stirred up the entire Manchester United backline.

It shows that Ferguson's tactics have completely failed.

Since then, Ferguson has been a little unsure of what to do with Glory.

Stick to the tactics of that game?

Everyone has also seen that it doesn't work, it's not that Ferguson is worried that Rongguang will have two zero-angle world waves, such goals are all luckily involved, Rongguang can score two such goals in that game, it doesn't mean that he can still score in this game. It was Ferguson who thought the tactics didn't work because of City's third goal in that game.

The third goal was scored by the Bulgarian after Rong Guang broke through directly from the wing, entered the box and passed the ball to Berbatov.

This ball is different from the first two balls, this is a replicable and standard offensive routine.

Since Glory was able to produce such a goal in that game, he was more than capable of producing the exact same goal in this game.

It wasn't him, but it was the same for Manchester United.

This shows that Glory can still threaten City's goal on the wing, but it has changed from a direct threat to an indirect threat.

The threat was in a different way, but the end result was the same, it was a threat to the United goal.

The middle lane must not let the glory go, and now the side lane is not good, so what can be done?

Ferguson has been thinking about this since the team lost to Barcelona in the Champions League final.

You can't let glory go to heaven, can you?

In order to understand this problem, Ferguson also looked for a lot of videos of Glory games, of course, not to see how Glory scored goals, but to watch those videos of Glory not helping the team win the game.

Look at how Glory lost the game, and what methods did those teams that were able to beat Glory use.

After studying a large number of match footage, Ferguson came to a conclusion.

For the most immediate effect, I'm afraid foul tactics are the best option.

The use of a large number of frequent fouls prevented Glory from getting the ball properly and interrupting the rhythm of the game between Manchester City and himself.

Of course, foul tactics should pay attention to scale, to be able to interrupt the game just right, but at the same time not let their foul players eat cards, and at the same time the place of foul should also be a little particular, that is, not to foul in too dangerous places, so as not to give Manchester City too good free kick opportunities, Petrov although he is not the main force now, but if Benitez sees that Manchester City has too many free kick opportunities, maybe Petrov will be replaced?

Petrov has scored five goals this season, three of which have been free-kicks, with more than half of the goals coming from free-kicks. These free-kicks were also made by Glory. And that's not even counting those who didn't score.

Ferguson had to be cautious.

The match between Manchester City and Manchester United, if the wind is calm before the game, it is certainly not normal.

Not to mention that this game is also about the ownership of the FA Cup trophy.

And in a sense, this game is also a continuation of the last city derby.

Even the topic of the war of words has continuity.

Therefore, before this game, some Manchester City players talked about the previous controversies in an interview with reporters.

"That's right, Sun does have a special physiotherapy room in the club's training base, and he only does physiotherapy for Rong." The Manchester City player interviewed by reporters was goalkeeper Joe Hart, who asked rhetorically: "But with Eirong's contribution to the team, with his hard work in training, is there anything wrong with him enjoying such special treatment?" If you practice for half an hour every day before the team's normal training, during the lunch break, and another half hour after the afternoon training, then you can also enjoy the physiotherapy alone, is there anything wrong with that? ”

His rhetorical question embarrassed the reporters who interviewed him, so they had to say, "Well, that's not what I said......"

"I'm sorry, but I just thought of it out of the blue. Rong did have some special treatment within the team, but no one in the team expressed dissatisfaction with this. Why? Why has Rongdu been here for almost a season, but there has been no news like this before? Because each of us knows that that is what honor deserves. I don't understand why anyone would have any doubts about this. ”

"Did Mark Hughes's dismissal have anything to do with Sun? Is there any untold insider story? The club's president, Fassim, also debunked the rumors in front of reporters. I can tell you very clearly, it doesn't matter at all. Although I know that some conspiracy theorists are dark in their own hearts and do not see the good of others, I still have to say it. Everyone has seen what Mark Hughes's results are, and I think anyone in my position would consider removing him. And now that Benitez has led the team, everyone has seen it, and I'm glad we made the right decision. ”

It was Mark Hughes's words in an interview with reporters that put Rongguang and Sun Fengyang, as well as the club on the cusp.

So Fasim is not polite to Mark Hughes at all now, and directly compares Benitez with him, and then bluntly says that Mark Hughes is not as good as Benitez.

Now he and Benitez are in the honeymoon period, and of course they can't tolerate their predecessor Mark Hughes coming out to dance.

In addition, there are pro-Manchester City journalists who have written articles in the newspaper mocking Manchester United's defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League final, ridiculing Cristiano Ronaldo that he simply cannot compare to glory.

To the eyes of ordinary people, such ridicule is vicious, but for sworn enemies in the same city, it is perfectly normal.

Manchester United also fought back.

“…… I don't know what the City side has to schadenfreude. Manchester United have reached the Champions League final for at least one season in a row, how many teams can do that? After the restructuring, apart from Manchester United, only Valencia and Juventus have done it. In addition, Manchester United have won three Champions League titles, but what about Manchester City? Not a single one. A team that has achieved nothing in the Champions League laughs at a successful person, either the world is not normal or Manchester City is not normal. ”

“…… I don't think it's good for City to try to finish in the top four this season and qualify for next season's Champions League. Because with the quality of Manchester City, reaching the Champions League is the beginning of a nightmare for them. Unlike the cheering Manchester City fans, I'm calmer. In fact, this Manchester City team does not have the strength and experience to deal with both domestic and Champions League battles, so next season, when they spend more time in the Champions League, it may not allow them to achieve much success in the Champions League, and at the same time drag them down in the domestic league...... In European football, are there still few examples of teams that have reached the Champions League, but almost relegated due to lack of strength? In Spanish football, situations like this are not uncommon. So don't think it's a blessing to be in the Champions League, it's a ......"

……

The pro-Manchester United media mainly talked about Manchester City's Champions League qualification.

In the Champions League, Manchester United's sense of superiority is still quite sufficient. After all, their Champions League experience is more than enough to beat Manchester City for ten streets.

Even if Manchester United loses the Champions League this season, it is still the runner-up, and I don't know how many times better than Manchester City.

Manchester United have made a big fuss in this regard in order to hit Manchester City.

Both sides can be said to do everything in order to win.

As the core figure, the focus of this game, Rongguang naturally cannot escape the attention of the media.

"Nothing to say, right? No matter how beautiful it is, it doesn't necessarily mean that you will win. Let's watch the game. ”

Compared to the table on the court, the glory off the court is much more low-key.

Occasionally, though, he would say something out of his mind, but under Debola's supervision, it became less and less common.

"Do you think Manchester City can win the title?"

"Of course." Rongguang replied very categorically. "If you don't even have that confidence, then don't play in the final. I'm here for the championship. ”

He is not low-key or modest on this issue. He's telling the truth, he's really here for the championship.

If you don't even dare to admit this, then what qualifies you to win the championship? Such a person is good, even if he really wins the championship in the end, it can only be said that he has taken the **** luck......

So Rongguang especially doesn't understand what is the meaning of being modest on this kind of issue, don't you take the initiative to show weakness and the other party won't take you seriously?

Just kidding, you've made it to the finals, and you've defeated so many powerful enemies along the way, will the same finals opponent be proud to underestimate the enemy because you say a few words in a low profile?

Instead of being such a grandson, it is better to be generous and declare your ambition in a dignified manner: Yes, I just want the championship, I can't think of it, otherwise I wouldn't have fought so hard to meet you in the finals.

“…… Rong said this in an interview with us, and he seemed very confident. So what can he do in the next final? Let's wait and see! At the same time, Ferguson's refusal to say how he will deal with the in-form Rong also makes us curious...... It's fitting that this season has ended with such a high-profile battle......"
