Keane's guess was not wrong at all, Ferguson was indeed a headache for this game against the Red Rebels!

For this game, the old gentleman went to the team doctor to prescribe headache medicine for two weeks, I heard that he has been suffering from migraines, and the team doctor's diagnosis is that he is too annoying and should worry less about some things. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Less worried? If you can help me defeat the Red Rebels, then I can worry less, or else, I will be less tmd and verbose, I'm already annoyed enough! Ferguson yelled at the team doctor.

This unlucky guy was sprayed with saliva by the old man, and he didn't dare to refute it, so he could only choose to swallow his anger.

But although he took headache medicine for two weeks, it seems that Ferguson's migraine has not improved at all, at least he still has a sad face every day, and he is still grumpy every day, so that no one dares to provoke him in the Carrington training base, and anyone who sees it hides far away.

It stands to reason that Manchester United is at the top of the Premier League this season, with a very good performance, with 5 wins in the group stage of the Champions Cup, and has qualified from the group stage ahead of schedule.

But only Ferguson himself knew that he still didn't have much chance of winning in the face of the Red Rebels.

"Originally, I thought that Kaka was seriously injured and absent, and the Red Rebels were in chaos on the offensive, but I didn't expect that Aguero performed well, and even the newly recruited Arshavin showed very good strength, coupled with appropriate tactical adjustments, the impact of Kaka's absence was filled by Mourinho."

"Followed by Drogba, this is the second only link in the Red Rebels' magic quartet, I was thinking, without Kaka there is still salvation, without Drogba, with Ismael who is not mature enough, the Red Rebels' attack will inevitably be affected, but I didn't expect that Mourinho would change to a strikerless tactic!"

It should be said that in recent times, Mourinho's strikerless tactics have become more and more sophisticated, whether it is the massacre against Rosenborg or the complete victory against Sunderland, the Red Rebels have shown a steady progress, especially the players' ability to adapt to this set of strikerless tactics.

To put it bluntly, it is still the tactical system of the Red Rebels in his bones, or the running system without the ball, but he has made relative adjustments on the original basis, removing Drogba as a fulcrum, and turning to more ground coordination, using the individual abilities of the three players to decide the game.

In Carrington's tactical room, Ferguson was the first to voice his concerns, and the Manchester United coaching staff present kept looking at each other, but no one could give an effective solution, and in the end, everyone looked to Queiroz.

As Ferguson's chief assistant, the Portuguese has become a major powerhouse in Manchester United's club after Ferguson, especially after Xiao Yu's Real Madrid experience in his previous life, Queiroz is now focused on Manchester United, ready to take over Ferguson's class.

Xiao Yu used to laugh and tease, at least he seems more loyal now!

"The so-called no-striker tactics are actually multi-striker tactics, through the empty cut runs of Xiao Xiaoluo, Messi, and Aguero, constantly impacting our defense, but they play very smart, like a spring, bump it, if it doesn't work, retract it, hit it again in another place, and retract it if it doesn't work."

Queiroz analysed Jose Mourinho's current tactics of not having a striker, but he was more based on a tactical report submitted by Manchester United's scouts.

"Xiao Xiao Luo has a lot of freedom, excellent individual ability, and a large range of movement, they can continue to try in the 90 minutes of the game, and at this time, once our back line has even the slightest mistake or omission, for example, Ferdinand can't stand the temptation of Aguero and grabs, and the Mexes next to him can't get stuck in time, then at this time, Xiao Xiao Luo will not hesitate to insert behind Ferdinand and play this piece directly!"

Queiroz drew his hypothetical tactical diagram on the tactical blackboard and then marked the offensive lines of the Red Rebels players.

"In terms of attack, we may not lose to the Red Rebels!" Queiroz is very confident, and the attacking combination of Robinho, Diego, Wayne Rooney and Quaresma is second to none in the Premier League and even in Europe, which is why United have been able to achieve such excellent results this season.

After last year's defeat, this season's squad has begun to mature, coupled with Ferguson's tutelage, the team's attacking strength has steadily improved, and Queiroz feels that if they want to rival the Red Rebels' magic quartet, they may still be lacking, but compared to the trident of Ronaldo, Aguero and Messi.

After all, Aguero is young, Messi is not in good shape this season, Arshavin is good, but he is not tacit enough with the Red Rebels players, Walcott and Di Maria are still young, they have talent, and they still need to be carved and grown.

The Red Rebels' biggest threat comes from Ronaldo, who has been a big weapon in Mourinho's hands, having scored 23 goals in all competitions this season, which is a very surprising form of form, and he alone scored six goals against Reading to set a Premier League record.

Is the biggest trouble in midfield being Cesc Fabregas and David Beckham, or is it Michael? Johnson's combination, the Spaniard is known for his delicate and scalpel-like through balls, short passes are a must, and medium and long passes also have a certain foundation.

As for the backfield, Curtis's back row is inserted, and Patrice Evra and Alves' pseudo-wingers are involved in the attacking ability, which is very headache, stealthy but deadly!

It should be said that the three lines of the Red Rebels have reached maturity and are closely linked with each other, and unless there is a major exchange of blood, otherwise, with this set of tactical systems alone, the Red Rebels will be able to crisscross Europe for more than ten years.

"In the face of the trident of the Red Rebels, it is not the best way to hold the line and actively grab it, each has its own flaws." Queiroz looked at Ferguson and said this unspoken opinion rather in distress.

That's why it's called a pseudo-striker!

Neither Ronaldo, Messi, nor Sergio Aguero are really strikers or real midfielders, they are somewhere between midfielders and forwards, always roaming between the midfielders and the backline, which requires players to have a high level of ability to read the game and football intelligence.

When encountering this kind of rangers, the defenders and midfielders will hesitate, after all, they will lose their position when they get up and wait for them to attack, they are too passive, and with their strength, they can also pose a threat in these areas of activity.

"Perhaps, we should defend!" One of the coaching staff proposed.

A hint of fierceness flashed in Ferguson's eyes, and Huo Di stood up suddenly, which immediately made everyone startled.

"Defense? We have worked hard for so many years, and we have worked hard to adjust the players for so many years, but now, you tell me that when we encounter the Red Rebels, we can only play defensive counterattacks? ”

Ferguson is really angry, these days he has been tortured by this game so much that he has a headache and brain fever, and he can't sleep almost every night, just because he is unwilling to defend like this.

He knew that the defense could contain the Red Rebels, and the best way to do that was to go up to the back three, Carrick, Senna, Sully? Muntari or Hargreaves, with a back three lined up in front of the backline, froze the area of the Red Rebels' three players, severely compressing their attacking space and forcing them to move freely.

Once the space in the front and back of the backline is restricted, the threat of the Red Rebels will be greatly reduced, but in this way, United's attacking combination will have to drop back and switch to defensive counter-attack, and no one knows how much power the attack will be able to exert at that time.

This is a conservative tactic that hurts the enemy with unknown effect, but it must have suffered for itself, and Ferguson has used it before, but that was when United were inferior to the Red Rebels.

Manchester United have completed a makeover this season, with the arrival of Taiwo cementing the left side of the club, the arrival of Mexes and Rio Ferdinand forming a strong centre-back combination, plus the veteran Gary on the right? Neville, Brown, O'Shea, Heinze and other golden substitutes, Manchester United's backline is solid.

In midfield, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes are getting stronger, and Robinho, Diego, Quaresma and Wayne Rooney are also like the sky, these players are combined with impeccable experience and strength, especially after last season's defeat, Manchester United have been full of hunger and thirst both this season.

At present, the whole European football world is evaluating that Manchester United is one of the strongest teams in Europe today, if it is not for Barcelona's excellent performance, if it is not for the rapid momentum of the Red Rebels' counterattack, even one of them can be removed.

In the odds offered by bookmakers such as William Hill, Manchester United surpassed the Red Rebels for the first time and became the biggest favorite team for the Premier League and Champions League titles, which shows that professionals and fans are looking after Manchester United.

In this case, Ferguson really wants to have a good match with the Red Rebels, because he feels that this season is the time when the strength of the two teams is the closest, especially Manchester United is playing at home, there is no reason to be conservative!

Towards the perfect Manchester United, the broken Red Rebels, one is the other, if even in this situation, dare not fight with the Red Rebels with real guns, then Ferguson believes that this will definitely become a regret in his lifelong coaching career!

"Needless to say, according to the original plan, we will attack on Saturday at home!" Ferguson made up his mind!

........................ "Believe me, Ferguson must not be willing to defend, he will definitely attack!" ”

At a tactical discussion at the Red Rebels' Newton Heath training base, Mourinho was very sure.

"Manchester United has always been pressed under our feet, especially last season, many consecutive defeats, Ferguson has long held back his resentment, this season we have been sluggish, although we have rebounded, but in the end it is not the best state, especially the absence of Kaka and Drogba, which has made us lose our strength!"

"Ferguson will not let go of this opportunity for revenge easily, he will definitely take the initiative to attack at home!"

Cassel also agreed with Mourinho's suspicions, and he felt that a man of Alex Ferguson's arrogance would not be satisfied if he could not beat the Red Rebels, even if he won the Premier League and the Champions League.

"So what do we do?" Cassel asked.

Mourinho smiled, "Since they want to attack, then we will defend, against Manchester United, Beckham and De Rossi form a central midfielder, Essien plays a strong back, you know, Manchester United's attack is also very strong, Alves yellow card suspended, when the time comes, Maika? The right side of Richards' guard is directly facing Robinho, so be careful! ”

Patrice Evra's defensive level has improved a lot in recent seasons, and the attack is not as good as Alves, but it is also very good, with great speed and technique, which makes Mourinho feel at ease with Quaresma on the left, after all, the defense is not only an individual, but also a whole defensive tactic.

Originally, the Red Rebels also had Zambrotta to play at right wing-back, but the Italian full-back has also had a minor injury recently, and Mourinho decided to let Maika? Richards came out in this crucial game, his physicality and defensive prowess were excellent, and although he didn't contribute much on the offensive end, as long as he could keep Robinho at bay, it would be fine.

The most outstanding individual player in the Manchester United team is Robinho, and restricting him is equivalent to removing Manchester United's arm.

Of course, Mourinho vs. Mika? Whether Richards can complete the task as he wishes, there is not much doubt in his heart, after all, Manchester United's offensive strength is also very strong, Maika? Richards is young, only 19 years old, and although he has performed well at De Roysden, he has often made mistakes, and it is difficult to guarantee that this game will not be sifted by Robinho.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Mourinho let Essien play in the back, and arranged Beckham and De Rossi in the midfield, both of whom are good defensive players, which is equivalent to telling everyone that the Red Rebels are more stable, using Beckham's brilliant long passes, directly behind Manchester United, and then using the individual ability of the star to solve the problem.

Pseudo-striker tactics, Mourinho relies on the excellent individual ability of Xiao Xiaoluo, Aguero and Messi, if it is replaced by others, Mourinho does not dare to hand over the team's attacking responsibility to the three of them.

"But although I think Ferguson will step up the attack, I guess he will still be heavily deployed in midfield, Senna, Sully? Muntari and Hargreaves are experts in this area, so in the next training, we have to focus on practicing some routines, try to avoid midfield entanglement, play directly behind them, and give full play to our speed advantage, especially our left side! ”

Gary? Although Neville is excellent, he is not young at all, Xiao Xiaoluo's impact and speed are superb, and he will suppress Gary? Neville, I believe there will be something to gain, and Ferdinand is on the right, once little Ronaldo gets Gary? Neville, seduce him out, and then there's a chance in the middle.

Mexes and Taiwo are both new signings, and there must be problems with chemistry and cooperation, and Rio Ferdinand has a deep problem with Manchester United's centre-back syndrome.

Thinking of this, Mourinho couldn't help laughing, he was looking forward to this game more and more!
