Chapter 1231 Has Manchester United Ever Been Like This? (The second asks for a monthly ticket)
Ferguson deserves to be an experienced head coach. Just like what he guessed, the Liverpool players really look down on the current Manchester United team.

This kind of contempt comes from the heart, even Chen Yingxiong is not exempt, and feels that Manchester United is not a threat today.

Can not accuse Liverpool players of underestimating the enemy, in fact, individuals will have such thoughts, because Manchester United's performance this season is indeed not satisfactory.

Their performance in the league was a bit sluggish, and the media kept propagating that Manchester United was in decline. The so-called "three people become a tiger", the media said so all day long, and even those who didn't believe it believed it now.

Liverpool players are also ordinary people and will naturally be influenced by public opinion.

In addition, this game is still their home court, so what reason do they have to lose to their rival Manchester United at their home court?

So every reporter who came to the Melwood training base to interview could feel that the atmosphere of Liverpool preparing for the game against Manchester United was very relaxed.

The players were talking and laughing on the No. [-] training field. During the training interval, Chen Yingxiong, Suarez and his teammates could be seen joking and chasing and fighting.

The training ground was full of laughter and laughter, and the Liverpool fans on the sidelines were also delighted that the team had such a relaxed attitude.They and the players have the same idea, thinking that although Manchester United was very good before, they were frightened by Liverpool at Old Trafford last season, and it is even less likely to pose any threat to Liverpool this time.

The reporters who came to interview also thought this way.After all, they are the ones who spread the theory that "Manchester United is dying".

They are not just writing this to attract attention, but they really think that Manchester United is going downhill.They are all excited about witnessing the change of an era and the change of dynasty with their own eyes.

※ ※ ※

Different from the relaxed atmosphere in Melwood, the atmosphere in Manchester's Carrington training base is a bit dignified.

Every Manchester United player knows that this is a battle of revenge. Facing this game, they don't have any leisure to play and joke.

"I heard that Liverpool is singing and dancing..." Assistant coach Mike Whelan is not only assisting Ferguson and directing the team's training. His job also includes scouting the opponent's movements.

Standing on the sidelines of the training ground, Whelan told Ferguson the news he had inquired about.

Ferguson nodded with satisfaction.

"They're going to be in trouble soon!" said the old man confidently.

Whelan looked at the stubborn old Scot next to him.This is what he admires most about Ferguson—no matter what kind of situation he faces, Ferguson is always very tough, very confident, and never doubts himself.When his companions surrendered, he was still fighting.

Perhaps it is for this reason that he can become the best head coach in Manchester United history and the most successful Scottish coach?
In the current situation, many Manchester United staff have no confidence in the team, and feel that it is useless to catch up with Liverpool.But Ferguson is still so optimistic and strong, which Whelan admires very much.

You must know that Ferguson is the head coach. If there is any problem with the team, the pressure is directed at him. So in fact, the pressure on Ferguson is very heavy. Under such heavy pressure, Ferguson can still remain optimistic and choose to be strong.Moreover, this kind of optimism and strength are not faked. Whelan and Ferguson get along day and night, so they naturally know that this is Ferguson's temperament from the heart.Whelan thought he could never do it himself...

Although Ferguson was full of confidence in his team, the scene at the Carrington training base became deeply worrying in the eyes of the reporters watching from the sidelines.

"The atmosphere at Manchester United is so dull that it can suffocate me...I think Manchester United is demoralized. How can such a team beat Liverpool?"

"Look, am I right? Now this Manchester United team is indeed in decline and has begun to go downhill. Their spirits are not as good as before..."

"Manchester United players must also be very clear that going to Anfield this time is more or less auspicious."

"It's no wonder they have confidence and fighting spirit to play a game that must be lost! The smart way for Manchester United's senior management is not to renew Ferguson's contract, but to quickly find him a successor. The old man is dying, the world After all, it belongs to young people... I heard that Mourinho's relationship with Real Madrid chairman Florentino has deteriorated because of Pepe's sale. I think this is a good opportunity. It should be no problem to offer him a high salary. Mu Didn't Rinho just say that he is interested in coaching Manchester United?"

A group of reporters chattered around, commenting on the performance of Manchester United players on the training ground.

After finishing the day's training, the Manchester United team boarded the bus, and this team, which was already in decline in the eyes of the media, embarked on the journey to Liverpool.

The distance between Manchester and Liverpool is only 31 miles, which is equivalent to about [-] kilometers. There is no need to take a plane for such a short distance.

So whether it's Liverpool going to Manchester United, or Manchester United going to Liverpool, both sides go there by bus, and they can get there in less than an hour, so why take a plane?

Watching the team bus roll out of the Carrington training ground, the supporters of United wished them luck while others just waited to see a good show, thinking about an away game against mighty Liverpool Well, it's better for Manchester United to last a little longer, so that the game will be good...

※ ※ ※

When Manchester United's bus entered Liverpool, it was "welcome" by Liverpool fans. Liverpool fans held up Liverpool's team flag, scarves, and various banners attacking Manchester United on both sides of the only way the Manchester United bus must pass.

Just like when the Liverpool team went to Manchester to play, this is a tradition between the two cities.

A true sworn enemy would do this.

The Manchester United players have long been accustomed to this and turned a blind eye.Usually they don't look at the Liverpool fans outside the car window, as if they are just a piece of air, not worth paying attention to at all.

But today was different, Ferguson even took the initiative to ask them to look at the Liverpool fans outside the car window.

"Look at them, look. They're humiliating us," Ferguson said to his players, pointing to the Liverpool fans outside the car window. "Why did they humiliate us? Why did they come here to humiliate us? Because they are afraid of us! Why are they afraid of us? Because they know we are their strong enemy, we can threaten them! Have you ever seen them fight other balls? The team did this, even Everton, the rival in the same city, did not have such treatment! But we have, and you should be proud and proud of it! Liverpool, which everyone is afraid of, is afraid of us!"

In fact, Ferguson secretly changed the concept, because Manchester United fans also welcomed Liverpool so much, and even Manchester City fans participated in it.Similarly, Liverpool fans did not do this to Everton because it was unnecessary, because the two teams are in the same city, so there is no need to "welcome in the lane".

But when it comes out of his mouth at this time, it has an effect.

Because at Manchester United, Ferguson has the supreme majesty, no one will question whether his words really make sense.

Looking out the window at the Liverpool fans, confidence is growing within the United players.

Ferguson swept across the faces of every Manchester United player. As an experienced head coach, he has a very vicious eye for people, and he is also the best at reading faces.From the subtle expression changes and small movements on the faces of these players, he knew that everyone's confidence had been inspired by him.

He sat down again with a satisfied smile on his face.

After training to adapt to the field at Anfield, Ferguson participated in the last press conference before the game.

At the press conference, Ferguson was as low-key and low-key as ever.

Showed a "hero's end" image that conforms to everyone's perception.

"Liverpool is strong, this is their home ground. But we will not give up easily. Manchester United are the winners of the past [-] Premier League titles. I am sure we will still have an advantage against Liverpool!"

Ferguson's tough statement is not afraid to arouse Liverpool's vigilance. In fact, this is exactly his brilliance.He said some harsh words at this time, but it will make everyone think that Manchester United is really "the end of the hero", because now they have no other weapons to attack Liverpool except for a little tougher mouth.

So the tougher Ferguson was at the press conference, the more pitiful he was in everyone's eyes.

No one would think that Manchester United is really holding their breath to overthrow Liverpool in the away game. They will only feel that Manchester United has fallen to the point where they can only rely on talking to satisfy themselves, and feel sad for the old man Ferguson-what is the old man? Time to suffer such humiliation!
Of course Ferguson could see something in the eyes of the reporters in the audience, he sneered in his heart.

Let's just let you think so!
※ ※ ※

Sure enough, no one took Ferguson's words seriously after the press conference, and the media's focus was still on keywords such as "the end of the hero" and "the sun is dying".

In their view, how can Manchester United compete with Liverpool in an away game?Ferguson's stubbornness is nothing more than knowing the outcome of the game, and he can only use this method to maintain Manchester United's final dignity...

Yes, this is the last dignity of Manchester United...

When did the Manchester United dynasty in England and Europe ever have such a miserable time?When is it necessary to rely on words to maintain dignity?

The more the media think about it, the more they feel that Manchester United is a bit pitiful now.

There are even some people who sympathize with this team and hope that they can beat Liverpool away, even if it is just a fluke...

When has Manchester United been sympathized with?The last time was the Munich Air Disaster in 1958.Since the establishment of the Premier League, Manchester United has been the target of public criticism. Countless people hate them, hate them, and are sworn enemies with them. How can such a team be sympathized by others?

So now it makes Manchester United even more pitiful.

No one thought that Manchester United was really capable of beating Liverpool away.
