339 Old Fox Ferguson
There is a kind of head coach who is very good at thinking and learning, they are not afraid of failure, because failure can point out their flaws for them, so they can always grow and become strong in continuous failure!
Ferguson is undoubtedly one kind of manager!
In the pre-season Community Shield, Manchester United was completely defeated by the Red Rebels, and some people say that Beckham led the big drama of beating Manchester United, but Ferguson himself knows that it was not Beckham who beat Manchester United, or that he was not the main cause.
The real reason for this is the Red Rebels' off-the-ball runs and their on-the-spot counter-tackling philosophy.
This tactic has caused a lot of trouble for Manchester United, but Ferguson also has to admit that the tactical concept of the Red Rebels is very successful, look at their ranking in the Premier League, 3rd, a promoted horse, the strongest attack, the strongest defense, which shows how popular this tactical concept is in the Premier League.
Ferguson learned a lot from the defeat against the Red Rebels, such as the need for United to find a way to get the ball into the box again after David Beckham's departure, especially when the two sides were so close.
As a veteran coach of the Silver Seasons for many years, Ferguson has a strong understanding of tactics, and he has a very deep understanding of every player, even David Beckham, who has left Manchester United to join the Red Rebels and has shown amazing form.
For this Red Devils derby, everyone in the outside world has given Ferguson a support, thinking that the focus should be on Beckham and strengthening the defense at the back, but Ferguson dismisses these proposals, and he did not arrange players to focus on Beckham in this game, although he also played in the back three.
Kleberson, Bart and Keane, the premise of the position of the three midfielders, in addition to Ruud van Nistelrooy, Giggs and Scholes are actively involved in the local counter-robbery, and at the same time, the counter-robbery must be ruthless, not afraid of fouls, once you can't grab it, it will be fouled, interrupting the rhythm of the Red Rebels, and not letting you pass and receive the ball easily.
Aren't you a young player?
Then you will have to pay the price of your youth!
Little Rowe meets the experienced Gary? Neville, who was defended by the opponent without a temper, was also shown a red card by the referee on duty for an unnecessary elbow action, and was sent off directly, which happened in the 36th minute of the first half.
In the first half hour or so, Manchester United spent almost all the time in a desperate scramble, with small actions, fouls, and violations...... In particular, the back three in the midfield, led by Keane, completely interrupted the Red Rebels' exit route, and they did not seem to intend to score, but to prevent the Red Rebels from scoring, and then used savage foul tactics to interrupt the Red Rebels' attack again and again.
Ronaldo's red card was just a microcosm, and in the first 36 minutes, at least Gary? Neville violated no less than 6 times, but Gary? Neville is very smart and his movements are not obvious, but after Xiao Xiaoluo broke out, he was sent off with a straight red card.
…………………… Jose Mourinho had a gloomy face on the sidelines, a dark cloud overhead, just like he was feeling right now.
"Ferguson, the old fox, obviously had a premeditated plan, he just wanted to take advantage of the young players of the Red Rebels who couldn't control their temper, especially a technical player like Xiao Xiao Luo, who couldn't stand many violations, and deliberately wanted to dig a trap for Xiao Xiao Luo to jump."
Not only Xiao Xiaoluo, but also many players on the field, including Kaka and Palacio, were also frequently violated by Manchester United players, and Ferguson wanted to use foul tactics to disrupt the offensive rhythm of the Red Rebels and prevent you from passing the ball smoothly.
"Fuck, old scoundrel!" Mourinho scolded indignantly.
But in the dugout not far away, a gum-chewing Ferguson was joking with Queiroz, clearly pleased with the tactics his team had been executing, and with one less man, United would start to have more chances.
Sometimes the fortune on the football field is like this, and the weak side raises its head!
Mourinho signaled on the sidelines that the players should try to get as little entanglement as possible with Keane and others in the midfield area, these guys are not breaking the ball, they are coming to foul, try to play concisely, directly through the midfield.
But Ferguson was also prepared for this, Ferdinand stared at Drogba, who was supposed to be banned, and now Terry has become his scapegoat, but he performed very well in this game, staring Drogba to death.
Without the loss of the bridgehead, the Red Rebels' frontcourt tactics lost a lot of effect, and they could only frequently let Palacio on the wing use his personal skills, hoping to create some chances in the front.
At half-time, Mourinho made some tactical adjustments, allowing Palacio to play more actively, giving him enough freedom on both the left and right wings, while asking his players to avoid entanglement with Manchester United in midfield.
Judging from the situation in the first half, although there was one man less, Manchester United's attack was not strong, and they concentrated heavily in the midfield, so Mourinho still hopes to get a win and at least keep the draw.
But at the beginning of the second half, Manchester United suddenly made a force, in a quick counterattack, Giggs broke through quickly on the left, went down to the bottom line, and passed diagonally into the penalty area, and Ruud van Nistelrooy, who did nothing in the whole game, suddenly killed, at the near post, grabbed the point before Curtis, and stabbed the ball into the goal guarded by Cech, 1:0!
It was a goal that made Ferguson rush out of the dugout and raise his hands in celebration towards Mourinho, as if to demonstrate to Mourinho, who also celebrated in front of him during the Community Shield.
"Damn, damn old guy, beware of bursting blood vessels!" Jose Mourinho turned his face away in anger and roared at his players, who had just been taken advantage of by the United when they were inattentive at the kick-off at halftime.
As the game progressed, Manchester United still used midfield suppression tactics, using the advantage of numbers to control the situation on the field, Palacio performed well in the front, frequently using personal ability to create opportunities, but helplessly Manchester United's defense was too solid, Ferdinand's performance in this game was too demonic, completely limiting Drogba.
Kaka's back-row insertion was also limited by Manchester United's three-back tactics, and the Red Rebels' attack was completely nullified.
As the clock ticked by, Mourinho was also thinking of a substitution, desperate for a draw, but United's attacking momentum picked up and a mismatch could lead to a rout, especially with one man missing.
But when the game reached the 76th minute, Mourinho couldn't make any substitutions!
Palacio crutches his foot and falls to the ground in a scramble with his opponent, and the Red Rebels' team doctor immediately rushes to deal with it, signaling Mourinho to make a substitution.
Mourinho glanced behind him, and there were Messi, Villa, Ribery, and Yaya on the bench. Toure and Chiellini, who should be replaced? Is it offensive or defensive?
........................ "Now Mourinho should feel a headache, because Ferguson's tactics in this game suppressed the Red Rebels, after falling behind in the second half, Palacio was the only player on the field who could pose a threat to Manchester United, Kaka was more of a retreat and responded, and was also drowned in Manchester United's back three, Drogba was imprisoned by Ferdinand, and the Red Rebels really hung in this game!" ”
"Yes, now even Palacio is injured, you look at Ferguson's laid-back energy on the sidelines, obviously deliberately trying to stimulate Mourinho, these two coaches looked down on each other before the game, and had a verbal fight, and now he is deliberately trying to anger Mourinho!" Martin? Taylor smiled wryly.
"It's also a psychological tactic, Martin, if Mourinho gets mad and makes a stupid move, then Ferguson wins!"
Martin? Taylor couldn't help but shake his head, Mourinho did suffer in this game, and Ferguson taught him a good lesson, letting him know that the tactical system of the Red Rebels is undoubtedly very strong, but it is not invincible in the world, and there is no invincible tactic in this world.
"However, we can also expect that Ferguson used this almost unreasonable pressing defensive and foul tactics to restrain the Red Rebels, and I believe that it will soon be imitated by other Premier League teams, at least it proves that the Red Rebels are afraid of facing such teams."
"Yes, so Mourinho should have a lot of headaches, and aside from this game, he should also think about how to deal with this style of play in the future!"
I only saw Mourinho pacing back and forth on the sidelines, and Ferguson leaning on the coach's bench in the distance, chewing gum.
Mourinho glanced at Alex Ferguson in the distance, spat indignantly, turned to look at the bench, and pointed at one of the players, apparently signaling him to play.
Messi pointed at himself in disbelief, and Mourinho solemnly confirmed again, the latter, with the help of the coaching staff, took off his coat and kept doing fast running movements in front of the coach's bench to warm up, he didn't think he would play before.
"Leo!" Mourinho came to Messi's side and pointed to the old bastard chewing gum in the distance, "Do you know who he is?" ”
Messi immediately nodded, "Sir Alex Ferguson!" ”
"Jazz fart!" Mourinho scolded.
Messi didn't dare to refute and nodded heavily.
"He's waiting to see our jokes, can we let him get his wish and know what's going on at the moment?" Mourinho asked again.
Messi nodded, "Very bad, sir!" ”
"yes, so when you go up, don't worry too much, play to your technical strengths, dribble more, hit Manchester United's ribs from both wings, remember that Silvestre?" Mourinho asked again.
Messi nodded, this is an unlucky Frenchman!
"He's a reckless man, and that Fuqiong, kill that bastard, use your skills, use your speed, don't be afraid of them fouling, they don't dare to foul inside goal 35, they're afraid of our free kicks!"
Messi still nodded, he was a little nervous, he didn't understand Mourinho's arrangement very well, but he didn't dare to ask, for fear of annoying the coach and not being able to play!
The only thing that made it clear to him was that after he got on the pitch, he could dribble the ball more, which was not quite the same as the training he received in the academy, but Messi didn't dare to ask more, he just boiled it down to the special needs of the team on the field.
See Leo standing on the sidelines in the number 17 jersey? Messi, everyone was a little surprised, whether it was Villa or Ribery, they were more suitable to play than Messi, but Mourinho chose Messi, which was considered to be a gambling surname.
"Didn't you study all our players? Then I'll last a player you haven't studied and see how you play! "Andy? Gray guessed Mourinho's thoughts and laughed.
But Martin? Taylor thinks that this matter may not be so simple!
