Manchester United met Liverpool and the Community Shield was in full swing from the first minute.

Especially when you think about it again, last season at Old Trafford, Liverpool did Manchester United a 4-0, and this grudge alone was enough to make all Manchester United players go crazy.

In this game, Ferguson once again deployed the 4411 tactic, with Howard in goal, Phil Neville, Silvestre, O'Shea and Gary Neville in the back, and Ryan Giggs, Djemba, Keane and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in midfield, Scholes playing in front and Forlan as a lone striker.

Liverpool have also made changes to the lineup due to the absence of Xiao Xiaoluo.

The goalkeeper is Reina, the backline is Reiser, Hyypia, Carragher and Finnam, the midfield is Davies, Carrick and Gerrard, the left winger is Robben, the right winger is Arshavin, and the center is Drogba.

From the start, the game was completely a bayonet confrontation, with both teams actively creating chances.

Yang Cheng's defense of Manchester United is mainly focused on Giggs, choking Giggs, coupled with Carrick's protection of the defensive line, Manchester United's attack lacks the ability to move forward, coupled with Robben's suppression of Gary Neville on the left, forcing Manchester United not to dare to attack from his right side.

This tactic is also the targeted routine used by many teams against Manchester United at present, because once they lose Ryan Giggs's dribbling and Scholes's back row is inserted, it is difficult for United to effectively send the ball into the Liverpool penalty area.

Yes, maybe big foot is a way, but that's an efficient offensive routine?

This is why Yang Cheng has always said that Manchester United without Beckham and Ryan Giggs is equivalent to a toothless tiger, which looks fierce, but is actually not scary.

However, Manchester United's defense was really well organized in this game, and Liverpool did not give Liverpool too many chances throughout the first half, and the most active left-wing Robben made many threats, but Manchester United's defense was still carried out in an orderly manner.

The first half ended 0:0, and at halftime, Yang Cheng replaced Arshavin with Ribery, letting Scarface play on the left side, and Robben switched over to play on the right.

As soon as Ribery came on the field, he immediately attracted the ridicule of Andy Gray, the on-site commentator.

"Haha, I'll just say, Yang Cheng is used to seeing handsome guys such as Nesta in Serie A, and he came to the Premier League and began to pursue the heavy taste of beasts, look at the current players on the Liverpool field, Drogba, Ribery, Davies...... From now on, the Premier League double beast will be renamed, and it will be called the Premier League Three Ugly in the future! ”

Andy Gray seemed to be smug at his teasing and laughed.

But Scarface showed an amazing side as soon as he came on the field.

In the 47th minute, after winning the ball on the left side, he faced Gary Neville directly, and saw his skillful possession of the ball forward, suddenly accelerating, using his explosiveness and speed to force an overtake.

O'Shea, near Gary Neville, immediately rushed out to help, but Ribery got past Gary Neville and was followed by Zidane's signature move, Marseille maneuvering and going straight around O'Shea.

Once you're in the restricted area, the next thing to do is simple.

Ribery hit the goal, Silvestre pounced, the Frenchman stopped sharply, pushed the middle, Drogba deliberately missed, Robben pushed the goal with his left foot, 0:1!

"Oh my God, where did this guy come from?" Andy Gray began to exclaim, "His speed, his technique, and his Marseille slaloms, is this Frenchman Zidane?" ”

If Yang Cheng hears it, he will shake his head and ask rhetorically, is Zidane so fast?

In fact, Ribery's play was sudden, Gary Neville was broken by Robben several times in the first half, but the defense was still good, and he was a little caught off guard when he suddenly changed to a Ribery with different characteristics.

In the 53rd minute, Carrick made a long pass, Drogba knocked back, Gerrard passed diagonally to the right, Robben received the ball and ate Phil Neville alone, cut inside the penalty area with the ball, and passed diagonally to the left side, Ribery caught up, 12 meters in front of the goal, grabbed before Howard, and hit the ball into the lower left corner, 0:2!

This offense reflects another set of offensive routines formulated by Yang Cheng for the four offensive players in the front court, the diagonal pass of the two ribs.

After breaking the ball from the back, it was handed to Carrick, Carrick's long pass found Drogba, the Ivorian retreated to receive the header back, Gerrard passed to Robben diagonally, the Dutchman passed one-on-one on the wing, entered the penalty area, and behind the diagonal pass line, Ribery suddenly cut in to shoot. ,

The whole process can be seen as a routine of Yang Cheng's side counterattack, because this kind of pass from the side cut inside and then diagonally to the other side is difficult to defend, and once the offensive player is inserted in time, he is directly facing the goal, one hit and one accurate.

Of course, this is true in theory, but it is certainly not easy to operate in practice.

The goal rate in football is very low, and sometimes a routine may not be able to succeed in a game.

…………

…………

With a 2-goal lead, Yang Cheng also began to make substitutions.

Larsson came on to replace Drogba, obviously starting to use Manchester United to train, but Yang Cheng did not move the backfield, because that would ensure the team's advantage over Manchester United. Ferguson replaced Ryan Giggs, who had been average throughout the game, with Alan Smith and pushed Smith up front to partner Forlan.

"Where did this Scarface come from?" Queiroz reappeared next to Alex Ferguson.

Walter Smith went to the Scottish national team, and Ferguson brought in Queiroz, who had been sacked from Real Madrid, but there was no way, he really couldn't do without an assistant coach who knew him and Manchester United.

But he had no idea that the arrival of Queiroz was further exacerbating the internal tensions at Manchester United, especially the problems between him and Keane and others, which would also be made even more acute by his return.

Ferguson looked at Yang Cheng in the distance and smiled coldly, "The guy who walked the shit luck!" ”

A coach next to him immediately replied, "Recruited from the French league, called Frank Ribery, free transfer, 21 years old this year, has always played in the French league, and has never played in the top league." ”

Perhaps, this is the meaning of the shit luck in Ferguson's words, because no one would have thought that such a player who has been playing in the lower leagues for a long time would have this ability.

"No one has ever heard of such a player before?" Queiroz was a little helpless.

What are United doing now? It's an attacker on the right side.

Look at this Ribery although the left and right feet are very balanced, but the main foot should be the right foot, the passing technique is very good, but the best is his explosiveness, which is a sharp weapon for all passing skills, lack of explosiveness, no one can expect to pass, unless you can stick the ball to your feet like Riquelme.

In other words, Ribery is very much in line with the current needs of Manchester United, but he has joined Liverpool!

Manchester United can be said to have suffered setbacks everywhere in the transfer market this summer, falling in love with Xavi Alonso, but the Spaniard went to Real Madrid, fell in love with Gyuli, and as a result, they went to Barcelona, and the year was not good!

"Wenger this guy even went to the treasure, put a wing attacker like France, but he didn't find it!" A sneer rolled into Ferguson's mouth, and even if he felt depressed, he wanted to pull Wenger into the water.

If you want to die, let's die together and be good friends.

However, there is a hint of envy from his words, Yang Cheng has his own set of coaching staff, and he has some of his own scouting channels, and he can always dig out some young stars who have not been tapped before, such as Veron, Deco, Denilson, Deisler and others who were left in Chelsea by Mourinho, aren't they all dug out by him in this way?

Of course, it is undeniable that it is one thing to be good at digging players, and it is another thing to use them well, and the two complement each other, which is what makes Caesar what he is today.

Sometimes even Alex Ferguson himself wants to ask him, hey, buddy, introduce me to a right midfielder.

But he can't do this kind of self-defeating thing, otherwise, he won't want to raise his head in front of Yang Cheng for the rest of his life, he will always be a cut short of him, which is something that he absolutely can't accept when he is arrogant.

But Ribery left a shadow on him, so much so that many years later, when someone introduced him to a player from Portugal's third division called Bebe, he didn't hesitate to buy it at a high price.

"That damn Yang Cheng poached Ribery from the French League, he has been talked about by you for so many years, Lao Tzu will poach Babe from Portugal today, and he will never lose him!" Ferguson said very awesomely.

Ribery and Bebe, although they are both precious Bebe, the latter has two, but Ferguson himself said that this is a joke, don't take it seriously!

…………

…………

It can be said that after taking a two-goal lead, there is no suspense in the game.

After that, Liverpool created a lot of chances, and Manchester United also tried to fight back, but in the end they could not get the slightest bargain from Liverpool, and Ferguson's side could only drink the hand of Liverpool again with a score of 2-0 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. , Liverpool also relied on the victory of this game to create the most glorious quadruple of the Houllier era.

Yang Cheng walked to Ferguson as soon as he finished the game.

"Haha, Sir, thank you!" Yang Cheng smiled and took the initiative to reach out.

Ferguson was chewing gum and took a sip into the distance, "Thank you!" "It's as if I made it to you, it's beautiful to you!

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, don't take it to heart!" Yang Cheng comforted him with a smile.

There is a way to reach out and not hit the smiling person, no matter how much Ferguson hates in his heart, he has to be perfunctory, besides, the relationship between the two is good, and the game is over again, and there is no need to compete anymore.

"As I said earlier, occupying the north locker room may not be able to win, it seems that it is true, the south locker room spell is useless to us!" Yang Cheng saw that he was relieved, and he couldn't help but strike.

This kid is rarely arrogant!

But also, he's getting down the drain to get the first prize from Alex Ferguson and Manchester United.

This kind of psychological advantage can sometimes really make or break a game, especially when it comes to arousing the opponent's competitive mentality.

"It's just a Community Shield, you'd better not get complacent, that Portuguese from Chelsea isn't a fuel-efficient lamp!" Ferguson reminded that he suffered from Mourinho in the Champions League last season.

When it comes to this Portuguese, Yang Cheng has a bottom in his heart, it is indeed difficult!

With the arrival of Jose Mourinho this season, the Portuguese color in the Chelsea team has become hated, because the Portuguese has poached Carvalho, Ferreira, Maniche, Thiago and other stars directly from Portugal, and because they can't get Robben from Liverpool, they brought in Wright Phillips from Manchester City.

On the front line, the combination of Crespo, Gudjohnsen, Kezman, Mutu and Duff also gives people a glimpse of Chelsea's strength, plus the top players such as Frank Lampard, Joe Cole and John Terry in the original team, all of which make people feel intimidated to see.

Yang Cheng always believes that there is absolutely no fluke in the success of players, and the so-called parallel players are often not weak in strength, but because the head coach does not arrange appropriate tactics according to the players to let the players play.

Just like Manchester United today, without Ruud van Nistelrooy, the king of the small penalty area, Ferguson cultivated Diego Forlan.

Who can guarantee that Mourinho will not change his tactical approach at Chelsea without Didier Drogba? The so-called, the enemy of the enemy is the **...... Oh, no, it's a comrade-in-arms, Yang Cheng thinks that he should be close to Ferguson.

But just as he was about to open his mouth, Ferguson looked into the distance, and he thought that group of guys in Liverpool shirts were really eye-catching and annoying.

"Hehe, in comparison, I think you're more annoying than that arrogant Mourinho!" Ferguson gloated a little and said, "I don't mind seeing how he kicks you off the championship." ”

With Manchester United's current strength, it is really difficult to talk about winning the title, and Ferguson himself is self-aware.

This season's Premier League is the most powerful to win the championship is Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal, the former is wealthy, and the introduction of powerful partner stars, Liverpool is Yang Cheng painstakingly managed, after winning the championship last season, the team has improved by leaps and bounds in terms of strength and mental state.

As for Arsenal, the main squad is very strong, but the style of play is soft, if they can withstand the pressure, there is a chance to fight.

"Ha, you're really unrighteous!" Yang Cheng pointed at Ferguson's back and laughed.

But when he turned his head, his brow really didn't let go.

Chelsea's strength this season is evident, with so much money spent, so many stars brought in, and even the best European stars sitting on the bench, anyone who comes across such a team will feel the pressure.

But often pressure is motivation!

"What's wrong? Having said so much? 'Dalglish is very unimpressed with Ferguson.

"Nothing, Chelsea!"

At the mention of this name, everyone's expressions stiffened a little.

The Blues are really scary, no kidding.

"But I'm a very cheap person, they are strong, it doesn't mean that we have to give in, we have to admit defeat, that arrogant Portuguese wants to kick me off the championship, why don't I want to teach him a lesson?" Yang Cheng stopped and said with a smile.

There can be threats and pressure, but you must not be afraid, you must not have a fear mentality, otherwise, before the game is played, the momentum will lose half of the first. , everyone immediately nodded in unison, followed Yang Cheng out of the coaching area, and threw himself into the celebration of winning the Community Shield.

…………

…………

The quadruple crown, which is definitely a beautiful pre-season gift for Liverpool fans.

Although Houllier won the quadruple in 01, this feeling is definitely different, because this quadruple crown includes the league championship, which is a huge trophy, and Houllier won the cup competitions that were not taken seriously.

After returning to Liverpool, the team was warmly received by the fans, many of whom made a special trip to the airport to greet the team, and then escorted the team all the way to Anfield Stadium for a brief celebration.

After the celebrations, the team returned to Melwood Training for a day off.

With the busy season coming up, Yang stayed in the empty Melwood to sit with the coaching staff to discuss the issues that have been exposed in the team's training, warm-up games and the Community Shield in recent times. It's normal and every team has all their own problems, but the key is how a manager can cover them up and give the team dominance on the pitch.

From the morning back to Liverpool, to the afternoon, Yang Cheng was in Melwood all day.

Around 5 p.m., Yang Cheng received a phone call.

"You go on!" Yang Cheng stood up, walked out of the boot room, came to the corridor on the second floor, and connected the phone, "Hello, silent!" ”

"Hello, Caesar!" Lin Mo on the other side of the phone smiled in a good voice.

"Is there something wrong?" Yang Cheng asked.

In the past few years, with Yang Cheng's relationship and help, Lin Mo has become very popular in European football and quickly established a relationship, and she herself has left Capital TV and become a special reporter for some newspapers.

"Boss Ye just called me, and he said that there are two former players in China who want to come to Europe as trainee coaches and ask for my opinion." Boss Ye is Ye Wen, Yang Cheng's old buddy.

"He didn't tell me." Yang Cheng said with a smile.

"Maybe he's afraid you'll not be able to refuse." She laughed and said, "So I volunteered to be this bad guy!" ”

That's right, Ye Wen opened his mouth, and Yang Cheng couldn't refuse no matter what he said.

"It's nothing, it's just a gesture!" Yang Cheng felt that Ye Wen was a little too much, this was just a very small thing, was it necessary?

"I know, that's why I'm looking for you!" In the end, people who have mixed up in European football know this very well.

"How long are you going to come?" Yang Cheng asked.

"Su Maozhen is going to come for two to three years, preparing to take the coaching certificate in the UK, and the other one plans to study for a month!"

Yang Cheng frowned when he heard this, "One month, what to learn?" Vacation or tourist? ”

Lin Mo smiled a little wryly on the other end of the phone, she also felt that she couldn't learn anything in the next month, but it was the club that came forward, and the Football Association focused on it, so it was really hard to excuse herself.

Seeing that Yang Cheng didn't say anything more, Lin Mo knew that he was not very happy in his heart.

"You let Su Maozhen come to Liverpool, I will ask someone to help him go through the formalities and apply for the coaching class, as for the one month, I don't want it, if you really want to find it, just find someone else!" Yang Cheng refused mercilessly.

Lin Mo nodded helplessly, in the years since she came to Europe, she has dealt with Yang Cheng countless times, and the relationship with each other is also very good, so she knows that Yang Cheng can tolerate other things and get by, but he is very serious about football things, very serious.

"Then I'll contact the other teams." Lin Mo could only follow Yang Cheng's wishes, "I will contact Su Maozhen immediately, I believe that he will come to the UK in the next two days, and I will bring him over to you when the time comes." ”

Yang Cheng hung up the phone after agreeing.

I feel very helpless, does anyone really think that a whole system of Europe's top clubs can be moved back in a month?

Why are some people so superficial that they like to look at the surface and make superficial articles, but are unwilling to understand the essence of it? The little beauty of the grass is ghostly and mighty
