Chapter 181: The Demonic Nature of the Wealthy Dilemma
PS: The dark horse is black to the end! Top 8, can you still make it to the top 4? Just ask for a qiē, watch the World Cup and pay attention to this book!
Jonk had a bad feeling before the game, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally talked to Ibrahimovic.
The big man felt that the boss was a little too sensitive, no matter what the others thought, how they thought, Ibu still wanted to prove his ability, and there was no such psychological problem as zài.
To put it bluntly, without the accumulation of winning the championship last season, it is difficult to understand the current mood.
Jonk wants to save the team, to save it with the strength of one person, and of course he has to test his ideas in the game, and he must start and play in this game.
Originally, I was still a little worried, the pre-game squad has been announced, and Jonk is already relieved, according to past experience, as long as he is selected, he must be the starter, plus the previous Champions League did not rest, this law is not difficult for even the media to guess.
On the other hand, Manchester United always broke the news before the game.
Manchester United have been in the midst of a deepening crisis of late, with back-to-back defeats in the league and Champions League, and the video of captain Keane blasting his team-mates has caused a stir within the Red Devils. Striker Ruud van Nistelrooy has recently said he has not been in a worse situation since coming to United.
It is reported that Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson showed a video of Keane accusing his teammates, and Ruud van Nistelrooy said that the internal chaos has caused the morale of Manchester United to fall to the bottom. 'Maybe it was the most difficult time since I came to Manchester United. When I came here four years ago, I felt like we were invincible. At that time I had four or five chances in every game, and I kept attacking, and now everything is different. It made me completely uncomfortable."
Ruud van Nistelrooy analysed, "It's not that we didn't play badly, our problem was that we couldn't control the ball, we couldn't launch a consistent attack, we couldn't lay siege in the opponent's half, keep crossing, win the second spot. unable to exert the necessary pressure on the opponent".
While boss Alex Ferguson is still cheering his team on, Ruud van Nistelrooy says he doesn't believe it anymore. The team can also turn things around, "that's what we want, but the question is, how do we get there." Take a look at our team. Our individual capabilities, everybody knows what we actually need."
Ruud van Nistelrooy said that Manchester United is not as good as Chelsea now, "but when we compare with Chelsea, whether they send a team or a second team, these two sets of players are international players who are about to go to the World Cup. We lack that depth on the bench, our main man is injured, so too much pressure is on too many youngsters."
Regarding Keane's shelling video, Vanney said. 'It's great to have someone say what he thinks, it shows that he still cares about the club. Once the criticism comes. You can argue, or you can think about it and analyze why. ”
The main strikers are also starting to show suspicions, and the United seem to be on the verge of being torn apart.
But Jonker felt more and more that this was a trap, he still knew the truth that the mourning soldiers would win, Manchester United was now constantly playing the mourning soldiers, who would have thought that before the red and blue war, the two teams were not impassioned scolding, and the managers of the two teams said that they were blushing and thick-necked.
It's better now, it's better than pitiful, it's better than anyone, and such a pre-game atmosphere is really stupid and incomprehensible.
The red flame and the blue sea are always opposites, just as the red Manchester United and the blue Chelsea are always opposites. The current situation of the two teams is strikingly similar: Manchester United have suffered heavy defeats in the league and Champions League, and a proud Chelsea are also in trouble, and after a successful start to the season, the 'Blues' are now showing a lack of momentum.
The defeat in the Champions League completely ignited the contradictions within the "Red Devils" team, and Keane publicly criticized the players on MUTV TV, arguing that in this Manchester United team, Alain. Smith, O'Shea, Richardson and other six or seven players are simply "defective".
For a time, the deeply hidden internal contradictions of Manchester United surfaced. In addition to the conflicts between Keane and the players, there are also conflicts between the new and old players, as well as between the players and the manager. The once bloody "Red Devils" seem to be in an unprecedented crisis, and now they urgently need a victory to alleviate the crisis of the whole team.
However, it is even more difficult for Manchester United to achieve victory, with low morale being one of the reasons, and the lack of overall strength has also become a shackle that plagues the "Red Devils". "We can only save ourselves. Chelsea are in good form in the league and it's not going to be an easy game and the most important thing for us is to get back the confidence and get back to the habit of winning. Ferguson said after the defeat to Lille.
A year ago, Manchester United could break Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten run, but a year later, can they end the myth of Chelsea's 40-game unbeaten run?
Chelsea are in danger right now, and despite being unbeaten in the league, the Blues' poor performance in the Champions League has shown signs of lack of stamina. Chelsea's problem is not outside the team, and there is no discordant voice coming out, the real problem is the mentality.
Just as Arsenal, who were on the verge of momentum last season, were unexpectedly brought down by Manchester United, Chelsea are now facing the same embarrassment, and the demon of wanting to win and fear losing lingers in the minds of the "Blues" players. Chelsea can't afford to fail because then the real crisis will come, and beating Manchester United now looks like an unmissable opportunity.
The red-blue clash at the weekend is likely to be a crucial battle that will determine the future of both teams, so neither team can tolerate defeat, but it cannot avoid defeat.
A strange battle quietly ignited the flames of war in a strange atmosphere.
The tunnel was filled with a few figures, and the closer we got to the start of the game, the louder the shouts at Old Trafford became.
'Ferguson lined up a standard 442 formation, with O'Shea, Rio Ferdinand, Brown, Silvestre, midfielders Fletcher, Smith, Scholes, C. Ronaldo, and our talent up front...... Wayne. Rooney!!! Forever the goalscorer Ruud van Nistelrooy, it seems that Sir Alex Ferguson is bound to win this game. All the stars are almost out of the nest to observe a moment of silence for the Blues and Chelsea..."
As Kirkland, the on-site commentator, revealed the names of his team's players one by one, the Old Trafford stadium remembered cheers again and again.
Captain Keane appeared on the podium. After introducing Manchester United's starting lineup, the camera showed the captain of Manchester United, who was looking at the field with his chin on his head, which was a little different from the atmosphere on the scene, it seemed that he was thinking about something, was it his future? Or are you praying for a new lease on life for Manchester United today?
"Huh? There is nothing new in the players arranged by Mourinho's coach, and there is no difference at all from the pre-match media predictions. Defence: Ferreira, Gala, Terry. del Horno; Midfielders Claude Makelele, Essien, Lampard; Forward: Joe. Cole, 1 Duff. Jonker! Chelsea's starting media know. Ferguson will also know that this set of formations, there is no secret at all, it must be conservative tactics, defensive counterattacks, the magical manager looks like just a few moves, the appearance of bullying the soft and afraid of the hard is really flattering, is such a team a giant? When at Old Trafford. Let's talk about the teams that dare to attack and win against the Red Devils. ”
The United fans in the audience booed unanimously after hearing the commentator announce the names of each player. As much as the Chelsea fans cheered on, they were too few in number...
Listening to the opening remarks of the on-site commentator with obvious irony, Jonk wanted to give the narrator a little bit of power, what is it about, you can introduce the players who are playing, where does so much nonsense come from.
Amid deafening cheers, the players took their positions and the Reds were awarded the kick-off, the ball at the feet of Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Standing closest to the halfway line at Chelsea, Jonker looked at the crowd of excited fans in the crowd around him, slightly excited, 'I'll prove what I've said with my legs!' He said silently and firmly in his heart.
Referee Webb looked at his watch, put the whistle in his mouth and blew the whistle for the start of the game.
As soon as the game began, the United players pressed towards the Chelsea half.
Their nickname 'Red Devils' is not just talk, including this stadium is magical, this place is also called the Theater of Dreams, the Dream Theater of the Red Devils, where all opponents are nightmares.
Wherever there is discord in the media reports, where there are morale problems, it is all nonsense, and looking at the appearance of Manchester United players alive, they almost scream, and the Chelsea people are a little confused.
Sir Alex Ferguson's coaching philosophy has been deeply influencing every player of the Red Devils, it can be said that without Ferguson, there would be no Manchester United today, not to mention the spirit of the Red Devils, the momentum of the opening, with the unique personality of the Scottish people, the Red Devils entered the devil at the beginning, how many opponents are falling in the opening storm, attack-oriented, constantly exerting pressure, as soon as they come up to beat the opponent, completely beat the Meng, and the initiative will be in the hands of the Red Devils.
On the right flank, C. Ronaldo got the ball, he took two steps forward, saw Makelele in front of him come up to intercept, and passed back to Scholes, who was cut in behind.
After getting the ball, Scholes did not pass the ball immediately, but after fixing the ball, he looked left and right, looking for an opportunity. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lampard immediately rushed up to snatch it, but unfortunately, Scholes's intention was completely recognized by Scholes, and Scholes just randomly took the ball to the left, and shook Lampard past him with an acceleration.
At this time, he was in the position of the left touchline of the penalty area, which was already dangerous, and many players could shoot from distance here, and Terry did not dare to slack off and immediately ran over to block the grab.
Scholes didn't panic and he played the ball straight to the left.
Smith, who was on the left sideline, stretched out his foot to receive the ball, but the ball stopped a little too big, the ball rolled forward a little, and Del Hornou in front of him saw the opportunity and quickly ran towards the ball, but it was still a little late, Smith reacted and fell directly to the ground with a sliding tackle on the ball, and the ball was handed to the feet of Van Nistelrooy in the middle.
Ruud van Nistelrooy didn't stop the ball, just rubbed his toes against the rolling ball and it flew towards the Chelsea fans.
The killer in front of goal is sharp, Cech is a little bit up front, he has observed it before receiving the ball, the ball is out of the foot, the action is in one go, and the shot is beautiful.
"Ruud van Nistelrooy, shot!! …… Ay. It was just a little bit of a shame for the ball, and Cech reacted quickly and turned back to pick up the ball. defuse the crisis..."
Just two minutes into the game, United played a very dangerous attack, a series of links in every way, as if carefully rehearsed before the game, this opening three-board axe is not so easy to resist, Mourinho's frown knows that Chelsea have fallen into the opponent's trap in the early game. There may be some problems with the Red Devils, but it will never be like what the media says, or the old man uses his wrist to suppress a contradiction. Get ready to give Chelsea a bit of a look.
Seeing the ball in Petr's hand, the United players immediately ran towards their own half.
Petr Cech took advantage of the fact that United had not yet fully returned to the defense, and immediately threw the ball in his hands to attack.
After Frank Lampard got the ball, he was looking for Jonker to launch a counter-attack. When I looked up, I found Paul Scholes at Manchester United. Fletcher was already banging on the door like a ghost, rushing over.
Cutting off Chelsea's attack from the source, Frank Lampard has become a top priority, and as long as the ball is broken, the threat is also huge, Ferguson in the key battle, dare to gamble and dare to fight, today the Red Devils' defensive focus is Lampard. At any cost, it is necessary to extinguish Chelsea's magic lamp.
Jonk turned around and saw something like this, Fletcher flying tackle. Paul Scholes stepped forward to block the angle of the ball and Lampard was on the verge of conceding it.
The madness of the Red Devils greatly surprised all Chelsea, it is not that no team has thought of suppressing Lampard, but Chelsea is not a point of Frank Lampard, the Red Devils dare to bet and put the focus on Lampard, Essien, the support point that Mourinho focused on bringing in, was ignored by the Red Devils.
Demonic nature, this is demonic nature!
The Red Devils' eruption of magic completely overwhelmed Chelsea, forming a siege from the start, and Old Trafford became a volcano that could overwhelm any opponent in an instant.
Oh my God, this is Manchester United at Old Trafford, the Red Devils have really turned into demons under the arrangement of Alex Ferguson, and the devil with a steel fork has really come.
United took the lead in the 11th minute, Scholes split the ball from the left, Cristiano Ronaldo crossed from the left, and Fletchel's header from a tight angle near the right rib line in the Flechel box headed towards the middle, but the seemingly ferryed ball was hoisted past goalkeeper Petr Cech and John Terry in front of the goal line, and finally strangely hoisted into the net from the top of the far corner post.
There's nothing Cech can do about such a bizarre shot, 1:0!
At this moment, the earth is trembling, and the fans of the Red Devils are celebrating like a sea of rivers at the moment, "Londoner, you know it's amazing!" ”
Manchester United fans vented all the previous dissatisfaction, the hapless Blues soldiers and those fans, became the most pitiful people on the scene, it seems that they have become so small, in such a momentum, who can compete, at least last season's league championship is not enough to compete with a qiē.
Jonker experienced a similar atmosphere at Anfield, where Old Trafford was even hotter than Liverpool, with a long-simmering volcano erupting and blazing lava melting everything.
No, it can't be like this!
A voice is reminding Jonk that he is going to reverse a qiē, and the qiē he thought of before the game cannot really be realized, although the unfortunate beginning has appeared, but the ending cannot be like that, it cannot be a failure.
He's going to work hard!
After kick-off, Jonker was ready to go it alone, but unexpectedly, as soon as the ball was passed back, he never came back, and when Duff wanted to break through on the wing, he was snatched the ball away again by Silvestre's beautiful break.
The blazing lava is still flowing, and the magic of the Red Devils is still making Manchester United crazy, attack! Also attacking, a one-goal advantage is not enough to satisfy them!
Chelsea's penalty area was in turmoil and it looked like goals were still to come, with Jonker having to return to midfield to help his side through the storm.
The game was completely integrated into the rhythm of Manchester United, the opponents did not give Chelsea any chance at all, it was too sharp, this is Ferguson's Manchester United.
Jonk seemed to be back to his time at Ajax today, he didn't play as a striker, but as a central midfielder or even a midfielder, without any attacking tasks, completely defensive.
Manchester United seem to have one more man on the pitch, their men everywhere and a goal could come at any time.
Probably luckily, the Blues held on for the rest of the first half, without any joy, and every Chelsea player came off the pitch with their heads bowed like a loser, the last time they played Manchester United, they were league champions, and the United players were lined up to welcome the champions, but today they were the losers.
Jose Mourinho also comforted his players at the entrance of the tunnel, even as reporters on the sidelines were excitedly recording every moment.
The resurrection of the Red Devils, the defeat of the Blues, every topic is exciting, and the shutter in the hand is naturally constantly pressed.
It was only at this moment that the media reporters realized that they had also been teased by the old man Ferguson before, but so what! Perhaps the most unlucky is Mourinho, the Red Devils sacrificed Keane, who seems to be the most crucial captain, completely let the Blues careless, who will see that Manchester United is still fighting in the first half, and Ferguson is likely to be out of class?
A qiē is all an illusion! Mourinho must be very colorful in his heart at the moment, the old rivers and lakes have taught the little fox a very realistic lesson, ginger is still old and spicy, the little fox still has to learn more, don't get a little sweetness and your tail and swagger everywhere.
In the second half, it is more interesting, what will the little fox do?
Will Chelsea still have a chance? What happens to a 15-minute break? (To be continued......)
