Chapter 933 Bloodbath at Old Trafford

After the game, there was a dead silence in the home dressing room at Old Trafford.

All the players sat in their seats after returning, not daring to breathe, raising their heads from time to time, looking towards the entrance of the locker room.

After suffering a humiliating defeat at home last season, Ferguson was already furious, and now they are facing a [-]-[-] match at home. No one can imagine how Lafayette will treat them later.

Turn on the hair dryer and spritz hard?
This is already considered light.

Everyone was afraid to speak. Even Phil Jones, who seemed to be fearless on weekdays, seemed to feel the atmosphere in the locker room. They were all sitting upright, and they didn't even dare to look around.

Finally, the door of the locker room was pushed open from the outside.

The players sitting inside immediately raised their heads and looked towards the entrance, only to see Ferguson walking in with a livid face.

The old Scottish man almost grabbed a dragon-slaying knife in his hand, and his face was covered with two words, anger.

Seeing Ferguson walking in angrily, even though everyone was mentally prepared, their hearts still jumped for no reason.

Many people even felt their heartbeat quicken.

Nima, this is the rhythm of killing people!
After Ferguson pushed open the door, he walked straight towards the players, getting closer and closer, so that everyone could clearly see his face flushed with anger, which made Mike Phelan who was following him very worried and wanted to remind him to pay attention to his blood pressure, but the assistant coach was too scared to speak out.

Ferguson has endured it for a long time, and he still endured it during the intermission. Now, whoever steps forward will be unlucky.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at Ferguson. Some players were so nervous that they almost stood up.

Ferguson came in front of the crowd, inspected everyone present, and said something through gritted teeth.

"You guys kick like shit!"

Everyone's heart suddenly felt, it's over, and they turned on the typhoon mode as soon as they came up, it's hard to live tonight.

In fact, apart from Giggs, Ferdinand and other veterans, even Rooney and Vidic don’t know much about Ferguson among the players in the dressing room of Manchester United, because after falling out with Beckham, Ferguson is constantly reflecting on himself, and his personality and coaching style have also changed a lot.

For example, when he treated Class [-] back then, Ferguson was like treating his own children. He turned on the strong mode casually, and sprayed it when he came up.

At that time, the players were sprayed bloody, with saliva all over their heads and faces. Who would dare to say anything?
Beckham retorted a few words, which directly made the corners of your eyebrows blossom!
But after Beckham, who loves his father and son, left Real Madrid, Ferguson was also reflecting. At the same time, after the team introduced young players such as Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, Ferguson was also changing his management model. In fact, his temper has actually restrained a lot.

Even last season, when he was slaughtered by Manchester City at home, Ferguson was not as furious as he was tonight.

……

When Ferguson turned on the typhoon mode, Manchester United's players had to be trained obediently.

Whoever says one more word, no matter whether it makes sense or not, will definitely be unlucky first.

This is the principle of doing things after Ferguson went berserk.

First give me a hard lesson, dig out all the things you have done in the past period of time, and then... go back to the beginning, and scold again.

As for reasoning, come on, that's for later.

Manchester United's players are also aware of his violent temper, so they dare not say anything.

In fact, Ferguson did not spout indiscriminately, but only picked old players.

Which of today's young players is not full of anger?
Just like Phil Jones, look at him, how can he be scolded by you?

Do not make jokes!
Therefore, Ferguson either scolded the whole team, or picked out old players to criticize the typical.

For example, Ferdinand and Evra, these two unlucky ones were scolded by Ferguson to the point of indignity, and the harmonious words starting with F appeared countless times, and even words like idiot and fool were blurted out repeatedly.

Ferdinand and Evra have nothing to do, they can only endure it. Who made them really perform badly tonight?
Not wanting to be sprayed with saliva all over their faces, the two old fritters just lowered their heads, looking ashamed to see others.

I don't know if Ferguson is aware of the careful thinking of these two old fritters. Anyway, he just scolded, and the locker room was completely silent when he scolded. He even breathed carefully, for fear of taking a breath of air.

After scolding several veteran players in the team one by one, Ferguson severely warned all the players, and finally his eyes fell on Vidic.

Ferguson was very dissatisfied with the Serbian central defender who was injured when he participated in the national team game.

If Vidic partnered with Ferdinand in this game, I believe Manchester United's defense will be much better.

This is an old question that has been around for a long time.

As early as a long time ago, Ferguson made a request to Vidic, hoping that he could retire from the national team and concentrate on playing for Manchester United. After all, he is 30 years old, but he has not been able to convince Vidic.

Now, Ferguson stared at Vidic with a face full of anger, making it impossible for the Serbian defender to avoid it.

"Nemania, now, I will give you two choices." Ferguson said without doubt.

"Either, you will retire from your damn national team and concentrate on playing for our Manchester United, or you will hand over your captain's armband to me."

Vidic looked up in surprise and looked at Ferguson in disbelief.

The same was true of the other players in the locker room, who were quite surprised, and did not expect Ferguson to take this opportunity to make such a request.

"From now on, I don't want to hear any more explanations from you. You just need to answer me, the national team or the captain's armband, choose one of the two, and I will know your answer in 5 minutes!"

After finishing speaking, Ferguson turned and left.

…………

Manchester City beat Manchester United [-]-[-] in an away game and massacred their opponents at Old Trafford for two consecutive seasons. This kind of news is bound to become a hot topic among the fans all over the world.

Su Dong's hat-trick is amazing, but Manchester City's overall passing and possession style is even more impressive.

Especially Cruyff, who was far away in Spain, wrote a column for the first time, cheering for Guardiola's Manchester City from the air.

Cruyff believes that Guardiola imaginatively placed Harvey Martinez in the position of the trailing central defender, which not only improved the ability of Manchester City's defense to play the ball, but also greatly improved Manchester City's defensive level.

In the column, Cruyff suggested that Manchester City's [-] can actually be seen as three diamonds.

Di Maria, Sudong, Hazard and Sanchez in front, David Silva, Hazard, Busquets and Toni Kroos in midfield, Pepe, Busquets, Xavi Martinez and Kompany in defense.

These three diamonds are intertwined, with Su Dong, Hazard, Busquets and Javi Martinez as the central axis, and there are many changes, especially when the team has an absolute advantage in possession of the ball. When the overall pressure is on, each diamond can be pressed very flat, but it is very layered. The players are very skillful in cooperating and penetrating in a small area.

"The whole game, Manchester United could not keep up with the rhythm and pace of Manchester City, and could only passively follow the rhythm of Manchester City."

Cruyff believes that through this game, Manchester United has shown its aging weakness, while Manchester City has shown a thriving situation, because this team still has at least five years of its peak period.

Regarding Guardiola's three-four-three play, Cruyff believes that it is still different from Barcelona's three-four-three back then. It looks more like a variant of the Argentine three-back tactic under Bielsa's coaching.

"He is like a philosopher, constantly thinking about how to innovate and make breakthroughs. He is repeatedly absorbing the tactical nutrients of other world famous coaches and integrating them into his own tactical system, constantly improving and adjusting it."

After praising Guardiola severely, Cruyff once again attacked the Barcelona management headed by Russell, thinking that it was their stupidity that let Su Dong, Busquets, Guardiola and others go.

"This is a crime against all Barcelona fans all over the world, and it is a betrayal of Barcelona's historical tradition!"

……

If it is said that Cruyff still has some private goods, then the British media are more surprised by the decline of Manchester United.

The authoritative The Times analyzed that Manchester United's lineup has long been unable to keep up with their rivals in the same city.

Whether it is in the front line, midfielder, defense line, or even in the goalkeeper position this season, they are behind Manchester City.

After Van der Sar retired, De Gea's performance was unstable, and Manchester City replaced Joe Hart with Courtois. The Belgian goalkeeper has not conceded a goal in the Premier League so far, and his performance is remarkable.

More importantly, Guardiola's team played a dazzling pass and possession style of play, which was unprecedented in the Premier League. Even if it was as strong as Manchester United, they were suppressed at home and couldn't move. The audience only got a poor 20.00% possession rate. What a shabby statistic!
Is there any way?
According to The Times, no!
"If you don't strictly guard against the defensive, Manchester City may be able to score more goals, but after strictly preventing the defensive, you can only sit back and watch Manchester City control the ball."

This, according to the Times, is the difference between suicide and chronic suicide.

"So far, no Premier League team, or no team this season, has found a tactic that can effectively curb Manchester City's passing possession, and no team has been able to prevent Sudong from scoring."

The Times, as always, gave Su Dong a very high evaluation, thinking that Manchester City can play such a pass and possession tactic, and can kill the rivals in the same city at Old Trafford for two consecutive seasons, Su Dong has contributed a lot.

More importantly, after defeating Manchester United, Manchester City has won nine consecutive victories.

Let me ask, in the face of Sudong and Manchester City like this, who else in the Premier League can stop them?
