Chapter 515 The striker shortage at the critical moment
"Dalglish helped the team at the most difficult time for the club. His influence went beyond the manager and he is a symbol of Liverpool's spirit. We had to make this decision and hope that everything goes well with Dalglish. good."
Liverpool's official website announced the news within an hour of the end of the game, and it seemed that they could not wait.
Before Dalglish arrived home, he was surrounded by a group of reporters.
Dalglish said that he accepted the result: "It is wonderful for me to be able to return to Liverpool. I cherish every day in the past. It is a pity that I did not win the championship. I also have some doubts about the team's performance in the Premier League. Disappointed. But if the club still needs me, I will help the team."
"About Ferguson? As I said at the press conference, I hate him very much, but he is indeed a very great coach. If he has a better temper, maybe we will become friends."
These words are the same as praising some girls, but it is a pity that they have long mouths.
Manchester United's official website also congratulated the team and Sir Alex Ferguson for the first time. They have never mentioned the coach alone before. It can be seen that the coach is about to retire.
The mentality of Manchester United fans is very entangled now. This season is as wonderful as last season. Although the Champions League final has not yet been played, Manchester United has already won the league title, European Super Cup title, Club World Cup title, FA Cup title, Community Shield No, it was a great season.
But when I think that Sir Alex Ferguson will retire at the end of the season, I feel heartbroken.
Unlike other teams, Manchester United is used to changing coaches frequently. Even if the team does not perform well occasionally, the fans are confident that they will make a comeback next season, because the old Scottish man is on the coaching bench.
If I change to an unknown coach next season, I feel that the future is at a loss.
Over the past almost 30 years, Manchester United has been strong because of the manager.
The current game is really watching one game less, it feels like the countdown of life.
Except for a few fans, no one persuaded Ferguson to stay.
Everyone knows that the coach has a serious heart disease, and the football coach is a position with a high incidence of heart disease. Even healthy people have sudden heart attacks. It is not easy to persist until the age of 70.
The club has not announced who will succeed, and the fans are quite uncertain.
Manchester United's next make-up match is a bit exaggerated, mainly because of the delay of the Club World Cup. Before the Champions League final on May 5, Manchester United had to finish the league.
On the one hand, the Scottish old man rotates, and on the other hand, he must maintain the main force, so the arrangement of the lineup is also very particular.
But in the 2:0 victory over Swansea, Berbatov was injured. Although it was only a minor injury, he could recover in a month, but this was the season's reimbursement.
The old Scottish man was more cautious in the next game. The Manchester Derby didn't even let the main players play. Wang Xie, Hernandez and Lewandowski were replaced in 70 minutes of the second half.
Before the end of the game, Lewandowski was injured when he collided with Joe Hart in front of goal.
His injury is not serious, and he has muscle problems, but he immediately put Manchester United in the most dangerous situation.
Both of Manchester United's strikers are injured. The opponent in the Champions League final is Chelsea. Can Chelsea not be a striker?
The media that were originally optimistic about Manchester United also changed their tone. In Manchester United's 433 system, forwards are a very important part. Why can Hernandez only play as a substitute?It is because his fulcrum function is not obvious.
It would be no problem to replace him with Adebayor or Dzeko. Manchester United's striker must have the ability to stand in the penalty area. Even better is to cooperate seamlessly with his teammates. If he can seize the opportunity to score goals, it will be even better. alright.
What is placed in front of the old Scottish man now is that only Hernandez is left on the team.
As for the youth training striker, let alone the media, the coach has no confidence.
The opponent in the last round of the competition is just a fish belly, and it is still a make-up match, but the point of the problem is not here at all.
After a part of the rotation, the Scottish old man let Hernandez play the starter, the effect was not obvious, even if he won the opponent by 3 goals, he was not happy at all.
Everyone knows that Chelsea's midfield is tough. Hernandez's fulcrum effect is not obvious. It is a bit difficult for him to play Chelsea in the Champions League final.
Fortunately, he has made other attempts during training.
……
Hernandez also understands that he should not be able to start, and some games end sullenly.
"Javier, don't be like this, you are New Ole."
Wang Yu comforted his friend.
"Who would want to be a substitute for the rest of his life?" Hernandez looked up at the incandescent lights in the dressing room in a daze: "I think I may not be suitable for Manchester United."
"It's not Manchester United's problem, it's your problem."
Wang Wei brought up the old story again: "Look at the giants now, they all play single forwards, and single forwards rarely have the position of a point-grabbing forward. It's not that I'm hitting you. Dong, you've seen it too. If you two compete for a single forward position, You shouldn't be ranked higher than him."
The thing is not clear, even if Benitez used to play double forwards in Liverpool, he still used the forwards with a low scoring rate, especially Crouch, who used the forwards to cooperate with his teammates.
You want to make the final strike from the single striker position, which is too difficult in modern football.
Even if your dominance in the penalty area exceeds Ruud van Nistelrooy, the central fulcrum of modern football is too important.
"I do not know either……"
Hernandez was in no mood to continue talking.
Knowing that Wang Huan had good intentions, but there was always a feeling that he couldn't put it into words.
……
The outside world's speculation about Manchester United's first start continued to ferment, but the old Scottish man also showed enough attitude at the critical moment.
Anyone who dares to disclose a little information about the team will be directly sent to court.
This is no longer strict. It is normal for football clubs to sell news inside. Every club has insiders. They often sell team news for hundreds or even thousands of pounds to make some extra money.
Everyone knows this, it's an unspoken rule.
After all, many important positions in the club are carefully selected. If unimportant people disclose the news, you will find another person and they will disclose it, and it is difficult to find out.
So no one is serious about this kind of thing.
But this time Ferguson was really ruthless, and directly emptied the training ground. Except for a few coaching staff and first-team members, no one was allowed to approach the first-team training ground, and security guards were also arranged to patrol around the training ground.
Even the office buildings have been emptied, and no one is allowed to stand by a window with a view of the training ground during first-team training.
This is something that can't be helped. Although the effect may not be good, you still have to hide it.
The old Scottish man is retiring soon, and he doesn't care about offending people. He used to be very annoyed by that style, and the club's troubles can't be hidden from the bastards in Fleet Street.
It is because no one is serious and there is no cost to sell news, so everyone is willing to do it.
But this time he was really ruthless.
So Fleet Street can only be anxious, those bastards even got a drone with the latest technology, and were directly shot down by Manchester United security.
If it wasn't for finding a way out, the old Scottish man would have liked to arm Carrington with surface-to-air missiles.
"Boss, Man Wan is accusing you of obstructing press freedom."
During the break, Wang Hao said with a smile.
Tomorrow is the game, today is mainly recovery training.
"They are a bunch of ungrateful pigs!" The old Scottish man obviously had a lot of opinions on the position of the "Manchester Evening News" after the change of editor-in-chief.
"Well, I find them annoying too, the regional papers are too heavily slanted."
"When the oil diggers leave without any hope of success, they will understand."
"Oh, maybe..."
Wang Xie can't guarantee that, although Manchester City hasn't won any championships yet, Mansour is really not just playing tickets.
"It's okay for you to play the forward position." The old Scottish man asked casually, he still believed in Wang Xie.
"Of course, if you say it's a formation without a front, it's a formation without a front. If you say you want to be a striker, I will fight against Louis and the two of them in the penalty area."
"You boy."
The old Scottish man was overjoyed, he didn't believe what Wang Xie said.
The attitude is good, but Wang Ji's style and body determine that he is not a strong striker.
In the team, he played as a midfielder or a second forward in many cases. He sounded like a forward and had nothing to do with a traditional center.
If it weren't for his repeated requests, Wang Hao might have been reluctant to enter the penalty area.
Can this kind of striker far away from the penalty area resist Chelsea's defenders?
The old Scottish man was embarrassed to talk about him, but if he asked, Wang Huo would have told him that the black and hard striker was still playing sideways.
……
The time came to May 5, at Old Trafford.
Manchester United fans have decorated the stadium early, and today's game has unparalleled significance.
The Theater of Dreams is full of banners.
"Today is Sir Alex Ferguson's last game in charge of Manchester United. He left us countless classics in the previous 26 years. Today's game is just the end of the 27th season."
"The banner in the south stand read 'Thank you Alex, you are what we believe in'."
"There are other banners, most of which are thanking Sir Alex Ferguson. Many fans have started to cry. The younger generation of Manchester United fans grew up watching Sir Alex Ferguson coach Manchester United. It can be said that Ferguson is Manchester United to them."
"The most precious thing in life is the unknown tomorrow. Ferguson himself said that Manchester United is Manchester United, and the team's logo will never fade. Saying goodbye to a meritorious coach, we can also look forward to tomorrow. Maybe someone you loved before One player will be at the helm of the next generation of Red Devils."
"Okay, let's put aside the sad topic first, let's take a look at the starting rosters of both sides."
Manchester United 433
Goalkeeper: Neuer;
Defenders: Srna, Thiago Silva, Vertonghen, Evra;
Midfielders: Rakitic, De Bruyne, Giggs;
Forwards: Robben, Wang Hao, Nani.
Chelsea 433
Goalkeeper: Petr Cech;
Defenders: Bosingwa, David Luiz, Gary Cahill, Ashley Cole;
Midfielders: Mikel, Mata, Lampard;
Forwards: Kalou, Drogba, Ryan Bertrand.
"Both sides failed to come up with the best team today, but relatively speaking, Manchester United has a greater influence. I don't know what kind of effect Wang Hao plays as a striker. Manchester United really didn't disclose any information before."
"Maybe it's a good move. Although our first reaction when we mentioned Wang Hao was that confrontation was not good, in fact Wang Hao has changed a lot. His confrontation ability is far different from when he first came to the Premier League."
Di Matteo has actually guessed this possibility. There are only so many people who can play forwards in Manchester United, so it is not surprising.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that Manchester United would form such an offensive lineup. It can be said that each of the six players in the frontcourt has enough offensive ability. According to theory, Manchester United's lineup should be the top firepower in Europe.
However, football is not a game of cards. A stronger offense will be weaker than a defensive one. Manchester United's midfield defense is much worse than Chelsea's. If the confrontation is at a disadvantage, they may collapse in the first half.
Di Matteo couldn't figure out why Fernandinho didn't use it. Could it be that the last game Ferguson coached was so risky, just wanting to score a big score?
But accumulating offensive players may not be a big score.
The fans wanted to go with him, and they were a little worried when they saw this starter. The only thing that is more reliable is that the two full-backs did not play the pair of Brazilian brothers today. The Brazilian teenager is strong in offense and weak in defense. Play Neuer to death.
"Wang Ji guessed the coin and lost?"
In front of the TV, many fans felt a little bit of a bad premonition.
Wang Hao didn't think much of it. Coin guessing was luck. How could he keep winning? It was just good luck before.
Chelsea chose to pick the venue, and Manchester United kicked off first.
After the kick-off, Wang Huo quickly gave it to De Bruyne, Manchester United immediately opened up, Lampard came up to press, and the Belgian teenager passed back.
Giggs held the ball very steadily, saw Drogba rushing up, and gave Evra the first time.
Evra was a little anxious and directly tried an overhead pass. Bosingwa headed the ball to his teammate. Wang Xie rushed up to Louis and had to return it to the goalkeeper. Cech directly kicked the ball.
Ryan Giggs and Lampard competed for the top. It was not one-sided as imagined. The King of Wales is still in good shape. He pushed the ball to one side. Evra and Kalou arrived near the ball almost at the same time, and they tore the ball. Kicked off the touchline.
Gave Manchester United a throw-in, Kalou was not very satisfied with the result and kept chattering.
Evra threw it to Giggs, Giggs passed it straight to De Bruyne, and De Bruyne quickly gave it to Wang Xie.
"Wang Huo's position still feels like a midfielder? It shouldn't be, there is no one in Manchester United's penalty area."
Wang Xie gave the ball to the right, Robben was about to cut inside, and then looked up Wang Xie had already entered the penalty area, Ashley Cole didn't take it easily, so he simply gave it back to De Bruyne.
Both David Luiz and Gary Cahill felt that De Bruyne would pass the ball. Wang Hao often played through balls, but De Bruyne passed Mikel and rushed directly into the penalty area.
At this time, David Luiz was in a hurry. He hurried up to block it. De Bruyne didn’t control his kick well. Lampard.
Before Lampard could turn around, he was knocked down by Giggs.
The Scottish old man nodded. The most important thing for Manchester United today is the frontcourt foul.
……
……
Guardiola's tactical frontcourt fouls are particularly important. He sometimes plays three technical midfielders and plays with this hand.In fact, I feel that this tactic is powerful and uses the rules reasonably, especially in the Premier League.
We will play Real Sociedad later, is there anyone watching it together?
