Chapter 285: The Popular "Uncle Ferguson" in England
After 35 rounds of the Premier League, the top four in the standings have returned to the situation of BIG4 dominance!
Arsenal Arsenal is ranked 1st with 81 points from 36 games, 24 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses, Blues Chelsea is close behind with 80 points from 24 wins, 8 draws and 4 losses in 36 games, Liverpool is third with 71 points from 35 games, 22 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses, while Red Devils Manchester United is fourth with 69 points from 25 games, 20 wins, 9 draws and 6 losses in the Champions League!
As for the other teams...... As it turned out, the few teams that the Bricks were expected to pose a threat to the traditional semi-finals in the 07-08 season were not worth expecting!
The most disappointing thing is Manchester City!
Manchester City, who received a huge injection of money, "degenerated" to 13th place after a series of defeats at a rate that collapsed the fans at the city stadium! Manchester City fans who beat gongs, drums and firecrackers to welcome the "famous coach" Eriksen are gearing up and spitting on the Swedes to get out of class...... Martin O'Neill's Aston Villa are currently in 10th place!
Only Dutchman Martin Joel's Tottenham Hotspur showed a tendency to break the traditional semi-final monopoly in the middle of the season, but since being defeated by Crazy Lee's Newcastle at White Hart Lane, Tottenham have fallen into a long slump! Martin Joel's side are now as many as 17 points clear of the Reds and Reds in the table, signaling the failure of the north Londoners' 'plan for a four...... As for Newcastle...... The common opinion of all England is that Allardyce is too late to get out of class!
If [God on the sidelines of football] can become the head coach of the Magpies two months in advance, then maybe Newcastle people can now sing "Dongfang Hong" to welcome Newcastle's new era of Champions League!
…… April 23rd!
Manchester United take on Arsenal away in the Champions League semi-finals!
In the pre-match press conference, some reporters couldn't wait to ask Ferguson what he thought of the Old Trafford clash with Newcastle four days later, and the Red Devils godfather laughed it off - "...... I'm only thinking about the Champions Cup now...... As for Newcastle, Crazy Lee should know that he is not leading Real Madrid now, and wants to win at Old Trafford? Of course, it's not without chance, but the madman Lee will have to wait another two or three years until Newcastle is through the financial crisis......"
Obviously, Uncle Alex Ferguson doesn't think Newcastle can cause problems for Manchester United now!
Two hours later!
Manchester United won the first leg with a score of 2:1 on the road, laying a solid foundation for the next leg of the semi-finals!
It can even be said that the Red Devils have already stepped into the final with one foot!
After the victory, the godfather of the Red Devils was even more high-spirited when faced with the same question from reporters: "...... The next game against Newcastle is just an ordinary league game and although the focus of the season is no longer on the Premier League, it will not be difficult for us to win at Old Trafford......
…… But no matter how much Ferguson stressed that it was just an ordinary league game, everyone decided that his first Premier League conversation with Crazy Lee would obviously not be ordinary!
Because in last season's Champions Cup, the madman Lee once led Real Madrid to a comeback victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, giving the Red Devils a big shame! April 27 is clearly a great time for revenge for Manchester United!
In addition, there is another reason why this game has received widespread attention - this is the first time that Crazy Lee has faced the traditional top four teams of BOG4 since he set foot in the Premier League, and the first time he has faced the top manager of the Premier League!
A strong conversation at the coaching level!
As a result, the media began hyping up the Battle of Old Trafford on April 27 a week ago!
And what Alex Ferguson, the godfather of the Red Devils, said to reporters before and after the Champions League semi-final on April 23 was infinitely amplified by the media who feared that the world would not be chaotic - "Manchester United manager: Newcastle are vulnerable!! 》
"Ferguson vows to break the myth of Crazy Lee's total victory at Old Trafford!! 》
"The Red Devils are confident in facing the Magpies, and Newcastle's 7-game winning streak may be ended! 》
Manchester United united: Bringing back the shame that Madman Lee once left at Old Trafford
…… In the face of Ferguson's disdain, the madman Lee's "crazy surname" was finally manifested-"...... Ferguson is playing ridiculous psychological warfare again, considering that they have lost 0-1 at home to Tottenham Hotspur this season, while we beat Martin Joel's side 5-2 at White Hart Lane......" Lee Tong-fan was unflinching in an interview with Newcastle Post: "I can guarantee that in three days we will not only win, but also a big one......
The "battle" is coming!!
The Premier League is lively!
After Benitez and Mourinho, it seems that there will be one more big mouth that dares to spray against the Buddha!
As a result, under the fanning of the media, things gradually became beyond the scope of what should have been- "...... It's ridiculous, football is not a game of numbers equations, and Lee's remarks will only make him look even more naïve......" Ferguson once again went berserk through the media: "Want a big win over Manchester United? Unless he is really God......" Li Tongfan sneered and responded: "According to Ferguson's logic, I suddenly found that there are many gods in this world, because there are not ......a few managers who have defeated Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford."
Ferguson shot back: "Enough, I'm tired of talking to Crazy Lee about the next game...... The Newcastle man looks like he is willing to play football with his mouth......"
Li Tongfan disdainfully ridiculed: "...... To be honest, on the contrary, I'm still young and haven't reached menopause yet, so I'm more tired of these frivolous arguments than Uncle Ferguson is...... We have a saying in China that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and I am in this state now......"
The confrontation between the two famous coaches has caused the media in the British Isles to get a continuous ** - The Sun: Ferguson thinks Crazy Lee is naïve...... Media Bulletin: Crazy Lee has come to a surprising conclusion: All managers who have defeated Manchester United are God...... The Mirror: Crazy Lee is like an annoying fly, Ferguson said...... "The Week": "Doctor" Crazy Lee concluded that Ferguson is in old age...... It is particularly worth mentioning that after Li Tongfan's unintentional slip of the tongue, the five words "Uncle Ferguson" quickly became popular in the UK, and people felt that this obviously Chinese-style nickname was obviously more vivid than "Sir Alexand" Ferguson, and some media even made a series of cartoons inspired by it!
What's even more exaggerated is that the cartoon doll named "Uncle Ferguson", wearing a Scottish plaid skirt, bloomers, and a corner denim cap has become a favorite of children in the British Isles!
…… So soon, the ungraceful scolding of the two head coaches obviously aroused the anger of their respective players!
Manchester United's French full-back Patrice Evra was the first to jump out and shoot at the madman Lee: "Let this Chinese learn how to respect the seniors who have made great achievements in the coaching industry, and then discuss the question of winning and losing the game......
Michael Owen quit immediately!
Anyway, the lightning killer and Ferguson have not had any intersection before, so they spoke unceremoniously: "Mr. Rice Bucket has already called Mr. Ferguson uncle, and as far as I know, uncle is an honorific title for elders in Chinese...... Everyone knows who jumped up in the debate, and for Uncle Ferguson, if you want to gain the respect of Mr. Rice Bucket, you must first learn to respect others......"
Tewiz craned his neck: "Respect? It's ridiculous that we don't carry forward the so-called spirit of respecting the elderly and loving the young on the pitch......"
Steven Taylor said angrily: "I don't think a little chubby dun who is not more than 1.7 meters tall can pose a threat to Given, of course, you have to make it clear, I'm not talking about Rooney......"
Cristiano Ronaldo: "No matter who the opponent is, I have only one goal, and that is to help Manchester United win the game with goals...... Last season Crazy Lee's Real Madrid were very strong, so they were able to win at Old Trafford, but this time he was at Newcastle and I guess it must have been nice to kick his winning myth with his own feet......
Juan Mata, who is in Cao Ying's heart: "Although I am still a Manchester United player at heart, I say that I will use all my energy to help Newcastle get a victory......
…… It's very interesting that Newcastle have taken advantage of this debate!
Because no English player in the Manchester United team dared to risk offending the national team manager before Euro 08 to bombard Lee Tong-beom!
In case of being hated by the madman Lee, it is estimated that he will have to say goodbye to the European Cup in advance in three months!
This is not to say that Ferguson's disciples don't have blood surnames, mainly because of the pre-game war of words, in fact, after a lot of experience, you know that it is just to stimulate morale or create a more favorable environment for your side, as long as the game is over, if you are still more serious, it is a lack of heart!
To put it bluntly, it's acting!
said that he would be willing to take advantage of his national team for acting?
Ferguson wouldn't blame them for these little things!
Therefore, for the time being, in terms of player debate, Newcastle won the stage with several times more mouths than Manchester United!
…… April 26th!
A bus with the Newcastle club logo and all the first-team players on its way to Manchester!
And after the bus is the "Newcastle team" that is getting bigger and bigger with the Magpies' winning streak! Since this was a match against Manchester United, there were more Newcastle fans traveling to Manchester with the team, almost 20,000!
Except for a small number of private cars, everything else is basically an "organized and premeditated" collective action of Newcastle fan clubs!
A month ago, because he didn't go home in time to accompany his newlywed wife who was waiting for him to eat after work, he chose to go into the bar to watch the game for the first time, and this time it became even worse - the young man ignored the tragic ending of being punished for kneeling on the CPU again, and asked for leave to hide from his wife and blended into the bus of "Flying Magpies...... With him were the fat man David and others he met in the bar that night!
Tomorrow at Old Trafford, John Newton will be working with his buddies to support St James' Park's King Crazy Lee and his disciples in the most fanatical way! And in order to prevent being suppressed by the numerically superior Manchester United fans during the game, the Magpies fans even prepared a lot of small "amplification equipment" - horns and whistles......
