Chapter 501 The Bad Basque
The North London duo lost their underwear in front of Manchester United. One game 9:0 and one game 10:2 made the already undercurrent surge in North London like a volcanic eruption. Tottenham lost more goal difference and Arsenal were scored. There were more balls, and the fans of both sides had a heated argument over who was more humiliated.
As long as you walk into a bar in North London, you can often see a few fans with big bellies arguing about this incident, and they don't even pay attention to the spilled beer on the table.
Speaking of it, it’s also Manchester United’s fault, but if you play Tottenham and score one more than one less, there will be no such controversy. If you score one more Tottenham fans, you will lose face. If you score one less, you will lose 2 goals less than Arsenal. Coming out can also prove that their performance is better. In a big deal, they will blame the striker for not scoring, and Bell just failed to play.
It can only be said that it was a coincidence that 10 goals were scored and 9 goal difference, which one is more embarrassing is still to be debated.
On the other side of Fleet Street, Arsenal's 10 goals are even more embarrassing. Harry Redknapp is British and Wenger is French. This foundation has been laid, not to mention that Wenger is more famous, Premier League News No Ferguson or Wenger, no farts, picking on Wenger would make Fleet Street happier.
Mr. Wenger would never have imagined that when Tottenham lost a game, everyone was looking for trouble for Arsenal.
I believe that knowing the cause and effect, he will be quite angry.
"The French are in big trouble this time."
The corners of the Scottish old man's mouth were so cracked that he could see the back gums.
Sitting next to him today, Wang Hao was a little helpless. Sir Alex Ferguson always liked to target Wenger, although he liked it too.
"Head, do you want me to do this to mock Mr. Wenger with you? Then I'm here too!"
"No, I wanted to ask you about coaching next season."
"I accept and obey all arrangements of the club. Professional players should not interfere with the selection of coaches."
Wang Hao blinked and said.
"Slippery!"
The old Scottish man scolded with a smile, "I just want to hear your thoughts. I was more optimistic about David, but you don't think David is a little bit worse."
"Moyes? A coach who has never coached a wealthy club is not worthy of trust. Just like a player who has not played for a wealthy club with good statistics, a wealthy club is a completely different environment." Wang Yu said firmly, it is not that he has never heard of Sir Mok. , Breaking all the shameful records that Manchester United can break, he doesn't want to play long passes in the middle.
"Then who do you think is better?"
"I think we should think about the expectations for the new coach. Now that Manchester United is at the top, the best situation for the new coach is to be the same as now, but this is impossible. So we have to lower the expectations for next season. Hope, to keep the top four and strive for the championship, it is best for the new coach not to immediately change the team's thinking, continue the current tactics and slowly add his own thinking, in order to ensure a smooth transition, so some famous coaches may not be a good choice. "
"Or a coach with too strong personal style is not a good choice. They are eager to change everything to prove themselves. They can easily overthrow the existing tactics and easily throw the team into chaos."
The old Scottish man nodded. He really hadn’t considered this aspect before. Looking at it this way, Moyes, who was always drawing blueprints in front of him, was even more unreliable. Team chaos can also guarantee the lower limit.
"So who do you think is the right candidate?"
"How about Ryan? He hasn't been working with the coaching staff recently. He can ask Ole and Ferran to be his assistant coaches. His own people can keep the current coaching staff to the greatest extent, and the team doesn't have to be forced to change their training style. .”
"What if Ryan isn't a good fit?"
"Then Ole... If Ole can't, let Paul go, or Gary, the guy with a sharp mouth, hahaha!"
Wang Wei casually joked that if Gary Neville really coached Manchester United, he might retire in place.
"I'll discuss it with David again."
Sir Alex Ferguson didn't say anything, and it's okay to be coached by the team's famous players. Guardiola was promoted from the youth team, but Giggs has never coached the youth team.
Wang Wei also considered this issue. He originally wanted to recommend Solskjaer. After all, Manchester United's current tactics and lineup can guarantee the lower limit of results, but there is a hurdle that cannot be avoided. Giggs wants to coach Manchester United. The coaching certificate has been tested long ago. From the perspective of qualifications, Solskjaer cannot compete with Giggs.
……
The next opponent in the Champions League is not easy to deal with. In my previous life, I paid attention to the Champions League every year, and I can’t remember the details, but I also know that Manchester United has not been able to please Athletic Bilbao every year.
Athletic Bilbao is known for its unique selection method. In fact, at the earliest time, it was only because of the convenience of adding watches that only players from the Basque Country were used. However, in the middle of the last century, the economy of the Basque Country developed rapidly and nationalism rose. Even though the Spanish royal family eliminated the wave of Basque independence through marriage and other means, the tradition of Athletic Bilbao remained.
Many fans even expressed that they would rather be relegated than buy a non-Basque player.
But even so, Athletic Bilbao is constantly expanding their openings. Other teams in the Basque Country have more or less abandoned such persistence. Coupled with the attractiveness of the youth training camps of La Liga giants, local players cannot support their team building. Policy, so gradually expanded to youth training players, the most typical is Laporte who joined the Athletic Bilbao youth training camp last year. This French player was not born in the Basque Country.
In an era of increasingly developed information and transportation, such persistence is not easy. Therefore, Athletic Bilbao has been recognized by many fans because of its unique team building concept. I may not insist on it, but it does not prevent me from agreeing with others Persistence is the truth.
Basque players have a tough style and strong mental strength. Once upon a time, their playing style was quite rough, but after Heynckes coached this team, Athletic Bilbao has undergone obvious changes.
The two-month training camp has brought about a qualitative change in the team. Although Heynckes was a fan of 442, Athletic Bilbao could only play 4231 at that time. His tactical thinking at that time has remained in the present.
Under the influence of Heynckes, Athletic Bilbao not only has a tough style, but also maintains the delicacy of the Spanish team.It's just that the scope of selection limits their upper limit. Once the youth training breaks down, it is a luxury for Athletic Bilbao to enter the European war. Now Manchester United's Bilbao is in its golden age.
Fernando Llorente, Igor Muniain, André Herrera, Harvey Martinez...these players are generally worth around 3000 million, especially Muniain and Llorente The transfer targets of many giants are even better than Liverpool's starters. Except for Suarez and Gerrard, who cannot be valued because of his age, Liverpool may not be able to pick such expensive players, let alone Carroll and others. The purchase price, even their performance before going to Liverpool, is not worth 3500 million pounds in the eyes of European teams, let alone one of these accounts is worthless.
The strength of Athletic Bilbao's players is absolutely no problem. Compared with this game, playing Ajax before is like playing house.
Seeing that his teammates generally reported their attitude of traveling to Spain, Wang Hao felt that this game might be full of twists and turns.
Manchester United is now not afraid of the rich, let alone the down and out, they are afraid of this kind of team that has a certain strength and can overthrow the rich by sucking cold blood.
……
In the early morning of March 3, the fans had been waiting impatiently.
Many fans especially like to watch the Champions League. Perhaps they are all waiting for Manchester United to create 5 consecutive championships.
"Good midnight, fans and friends. What we are seeing now is the San Martin Metz Stadium, the home of Athletic Bilbao. The quarter-finals of the Champions League between Athletic Bilbao and Manchester United is about to begin. court."
"Herenandez has not appeared in the starting list for a long time, and Manchester United still carried out some rotations today."
"Yes, after all, Manchester United's schedule is quite terrifying, and the team still has injuries, so rotation is inevitable."
"In Monday's World Football Program, we have already introduced Athletic Bilbao, a very individual team. Many players in this team used to be players of the Spanish National Youth Team, and their strength is quite strong. For example, The fact that winger Igor Muniain has been linked with Barcelona speaks volumes for his quality."
"Okay, guess the coin... Wang Hao won again, and Manchester United kicked off first."
After the kick-off, Wang He did not pass the ball in a hurry, but controlled the rhythm. You must not be in a hurry when playing against the Spanish team. The right way is to be patient and grind slowly like Barcelona.
But he was not in a hurry, Herrera rushed to him directly.
Herrera was not in a hurry, but waited for Wang Xie.
In the backcourt, Wang Hao didn't mean to try others, and after he turned back with a heel knock, it was only at this time that he noticed that Herrera didn't mean to chase the ball.
Oscar Marx himself stepped forward to press, and Fletcher and Rakitic both passed the ball easily. Even so, Herrera did not intend to go up to press, but Muniain from the wing came up to participate in the press together.
rely on ~
It can be confirmed that Herrera is his 'bodyguard' today.
Wang Huan hates this kind of technical players to defend closely, and it really is a hard battle.
Rakitic made a pass to the right, and Srna kicked up a diagonal long pass to find Nani. Nani didn't take his opponent seriously. Bilbao captain Andoni Iraura saw Nani rushing forward Ni didn't mean to back away either.
As soon as the body touched, Nani knew that he was thinking too much, the Spaniard was a bit hard!
The Portuguese didn't want to continue entanglement. He kicked the ball with his right foot to speed up, but he felt a pulling force behind him. When he wanted to slow down, the opponent immediately let go, so Nani jumped out directly.
beep—
"It's a foul. It can be clearly seen that Andoni Iraura has a movement in his hand. He thought the referee didn't see it, but the referee did not give the card."
"The place of the foul is too far to the left, and it may not be easy to attack the goal directly."
Wang Huo trotted up all the way, and after observing it, he got an idea.
"Wang He started playing secret signs again. Many fans said that he was an agent who was delayed by football. With such a talent for language and a sense of confidentiality, it would be useless not to be an agent."
"Hahaha... This also shows that Wang He is very good, come to us to watch this ball..."
Wang Xie drove directly to the middle of the small penalty area. Fletcher caught the ball and the ball hit Martinez's leg and bounced back to the middle of the penalty area. The scene was quite chaotic. The commentator had given up struggling. too fast.
Suddenly a foot sticks out and points the ball into the goal.
Athletic Bilbao raised their hands in the restricted area.
"Hahaha, Manchester United scored a goal, and Bilbao raised their hands. I guess they didn't know why they raised their hands. Anyway, the referee raised their hands because they had bad eyesight."
"No, what if the referee is fooled, but the referee still points to the center circle, and the goal is valid."
"Hernandez was really astute in this chaotic battle. Through the replay, we saw that he was about to go to the right side of the small penalty area just now. When he saw the opportunity, he ran back to the middle and stretched his feet to complete the goal."
"The game has developed in favor of Manchester United, but Athletic Bilbao has never been a team that easily admits defeat, so let's take a look at the next development."
Bilbao's 433 did not rely on counseling to play. When the game restarted, it could be seen that their organization was looking for opportunities.
The Spanish teams are generally good in ball possession, especially the upstream teams. They press higher and the defense line is higher. They did not panic in the face of Manchester United's high pressing, which is better than most Premier League teams.
"Alger, let's grab Max's point together later." Herrera has been following him, and Max has assumed the role of the midfield hub. Every player who is pressed will be given to Oscar Max, and he cannot be allowed to play too easily.
Robben gave Wang Xie a look in different expressions to show him that he understood that the two of them cooperated to do this thing not once or twice.
But Wang Hao obviously forgot one thing. When Max got the ball, Herrera beside him was still 'protecting' him. One foot split to the right.
Markle Suceta took advantage of the right foot, and Evra was passed. The Bilbao winger himself felt very strange, but it was just right, he swung his right foot and passed directly.
Vertonghen and Llorente ran back together. Neuer saw that the two of them didn't know who would have the upper hand, so he simply rushed out and punched the ball out of the penalty area.
Smalling took the ball and turned around and passed it directly to the opponent's feet. Igor Muniayin took the ball suddenly, and the defenseless Srna let him easily enter the penalty area.
Snapped,
Mugnain sent a low pass from the left side of the penalty area. The speed was quite fast, and Llorente kicked the ball as soon as he stretched his foot.
The ball flew straight into the upper right corner of the Manchester United goal.
Seeing Smalling raising his hand to signal offside, Neuer secretly cursed in his heart for not seeing Srna dragging behind, not so offside.Of course, this goal was mainly due to Smalling's own goal assist. He suppressed his anger and didn't want to quarrel with his teammates, but it was very aggrieved to lose the goal like this.

I complained a few words yesterday, and some book friends tipped me off.Thank you for your support. I mainly hope that friends who watch pirated versions can subscribe. I’m not reconciled to not being able to get full attendance. It’s very difficult to improve the grades. The editor doesn’t give much resources now. Football is almost like this , and more are the books of the big guys.
I originally wanted to add more, but I didn’t feel comfortable eating and drinking with my family. Let’s see if I have time. Thank you for being lonely, hehe...
