Chapter 871 The Final Battle of the Season

Deborah was right, Glory really gave Ferguson a headache.

Just a few weeks ago, in the same city derby between Manchester City and Manchester United, Ferguson's defensive tactics against Rongguang failed.

Originally, before that game, Ferguson was quite confident in his strategy, pushing Rong Guang to the wing, although it could not completely freeze him, it could allow him to reduce the threat a lot.

But everyone has seen the final result. Rongguang was indeed once trapped by Ferguson's tactics in that game, but he soon got out of it. With two goals and an assist, Rongguang alone caused Manchester United's entire defense to become turbulent.

It shows that Ferguson's tactics have completely failed.

From then on, Ferguson didn't know how to deal with Rong Guang.

Continue to stick to the tactics of that game?
Everyone has also seen that it won't work. It's not that Ferguson is worried about Rong Guang's two zero-angle world waves. Such goals are all due to luck. Rong Guang scored two such goals in a row in that game, but it doesn't mean that he can still score in this game.What made Ferguson think the tactic wasn't working was City's third goal of the game.

The third ball was scored by the Bulgarian after Rong Guang broke through directly from the wing and passed the football to Berbatov after entering the penalty area.

This ball is different from the previous two balls. It can be copied and is a standard offensive routine.

Since Rongguang was able to make such a goal in that game, he is fully capable of making exactly the same goal in this game.

Although it was not his goal, it was the same for Manchester United.

This shows that Rongguang can still threaten Manchester City's goal on the wing, but it has changed from a direct threat to an indirect threat.

The threats are different, but the end result is the same, and they all pose a threat to Manchester United's goal.

Rong Guang is absolutely not allowed to go in the middle lane, and now the side lanes can't do it, so what else can we do?
It's a question Ferguson has been thinking about since his side's Champions League final defeat to Barcelona.

You can't let the glory go to the sky, can you?

In order to understand this problem, Ferguson also looked for many videos of Rongguang's games. Of course, he did not watch how Rongguang smashed the four goals, but watched those videos where Rongguang did not help the team win the game.

See how Rongguang lost the game, and what methods were used by those teams that could beat Rongguang.

After studying a large number of game videos, Ferguson came to a conclusion.

To have the most immediate and effective results, foul tactics are probably the best choice.

Using a large number of frequent fouls to prevent Rongguang from taking the ball well, interrupting the rhythm of the game between Manchester City and himself.

Of course, the foul tactics must pay attention to the scale, and must be able to stop the game just right, but at the same time not let your foul player get a card. At the same time, you must also pay attention to the location of the foul, that is, you should not foul in too dangerous places, so as not to give Manchester City too good free kick opportunities.

Three of Petrov's five goals this season have come from free-kicks, and more than half of his goals have come from free-kicks.These free kicks were also made by Rong Guang.And that doesn't include those who didn't score.

Ferguson had to be careful.

※※※

If the game between Manchester City and Manchester United was calm before the game, it would definitely be abnormal.

Not to mention that this game is also related to the ownership of the FA Cup trophy.

And in a sense, this game is also a continuation of the last city derby.

Even the topic of war of words has continuity.

Therefore, before this game, some Manchester City players talked about the previous controversies in interviews with reporters.

"That's right, Sun does have a special physiotherapy room in the club's training base, and he only does physiotherapy for Rong." The Manchester City player interviewed by the reporter was goalkeeper Joe Hart. He asked back: "But Yirong's contribution to the team and his hard work in training, is there any problem with him enjoying such special treatment? If you practice for half an hour before the team's normal training every day, you also give yourself extra training during the lunch break, and after the afternoon training. Then you can also give yourself an extra half hour of training alone. Physiotherapy for one person, what's wrong with that?"

His rhetorical question embarrassed the reporter who interviewed him, so he had to say: "Uh, I didn't say that..."

"Sorry, but I just thought of it suddenly. Rong does have some special treatment within the team, but no one in the team expressed dissatisfaction with it. Why? Why did Rong come for almost a season, but there was no news like this at all before? Because each of us knows that Rong deserves it. I don't understand why anyone would have any doubts about this."

"Is Mark Hughes' dismissal related to Sun? Is there any unknown inside story?" The club's chairman Fahim also refuted the rumors in front of reporters. "I can tell you very clearly that it has nothing to do with it. Although I know that some conspiracy theorists are dark in their own hearts and don't want to see the good of others, I still want to say it. Everyone has seen the results of Mark Hughes leading the team. I think anyone in my position will consider replacing him. And now everyone has seen the results of Benitez leading the team. I am very glad that we have made a correct decision."

It was what Mark Hughes said in an interview with reporters that put Rong Guang, Sun Fengyang, and the club on the cusp.

So Fahim is not polite to Mark Hughes now, he directly compares Benitez with him, and then bluntly says that Mark Hughes is not as good as Benitez.

Today, he and Benitez are in the honeymoon period, and of course they cannot tolerate the ex-Mark Hughes coming out and jumping.

In addition, there are journalists who are pro-Manchester City who wrote in the newspaper to mock Manchester United's loss to Barcelona in the Champions League final, and mocked Cristiano Ronaldo as not being able to compare with glory.

In the eyes of ordinary people, such ridicule is very vicious, but for the rivals in the same city, it is nothing more than normal.

Manchester United also fought back.

"...I don't know what Manchester City is gloating about. Manchester United has at least reached the Champions League final for consecutive seasons. How many teams can do this? After the restructuring, only Valencia and Juventus have achieved it. In addition, Manchester United has won three Champions League titles, and Manchester City? None. A team that has no achievements in the Champions League laughs at a successful person. Either the world is abnormal, or Manchester City is abnormal."

"...I don't think it's a good thing for Manchester City to squeeze into the top four this season and qualify for the Champions League next season. Because with Manchester City's strength, reaching the Champions League is the beginning of their nightmare. I am different from those cheering Manchester City fans. I am calm. In fact, this Manchester City team does not have the strength and experience to deal with domestic and Champions League double-line battles. At the same time, it will also drag down their performance in the domestic league... In European football, are there still few examples of those teams that reached the Champions League but were almost relegated due to lack of strength? In Spanish football, such situations are common. So don't think that it is such a blessing to enter the Champions League..."

……

The pro-Manchester United media mainly spoke from the fact that Manchester City qualified for the Champions League.

In the Champions League, Manchester United still has a strong sense of superiority.After all, their Champions League experience is more than ten blocks away from Manchester City.

Even if Manchester United loses the Champions League this season, they will still be runner-up, which is many times better than Manchester City.

Manchester United made a big fuss in this regard just to hit Manchester City.

In order to win the victory, both sides can be said to do everything possible.

As a core figure, the focus of this game, Rong Guang naturally cannot escape the attention of the media.

"There's nothing to say, right? No matter how beautiful the words are, you may not be able to win. Let's just watch the game."

Compared with the performance on the court, the glory off the court is much more low-key.

Although occasionally he still speaks indiscriminately, but under Deborah's supervision, such situations have become less and less frequent.

"Then do you think Manchester City can win the title?"

"Of course." Rong Guang answered firmly. "If you don't even have such confidence, then don't play in the final. I am here for the championship."

He is neither low-key nor humble on this issue.What he said was the truth, he really came for the championship.

If you don't even dare to admit this, then what qualifications do you have to win the championship?Such a person is good, even if he really wins the championship in the end, it can only be said to have been lucky...

That's why Rong Guang doesn't understand the meaning of modesty on this kind of issue. Could it be that if you take the initiative to show weakness, the other party won't take you seriously?

Just kidding, you have reached the finals, and you have defeated so many powerful enemies along the way. Could it be that your opponents in the same finals will be proud and underestimate the enemy just because you said a few words in a low profile?

Instead of being such a grandson, why don't you just declare your ambitions openly and squarely: Yes, I just want to be the champion, and I think so hard, otherwise I wouldn't have worked so hard to get to the finals to see you all.

"... Rong said so in an interview with us. He seemed very confident. So what will he do in the next finals? Let us wait and see! At the same time, Ferguson refused to disclose how he would deal with Rong who is in good form, which also made us very curious... It is really appropriate that this season is ending with such a focused battle..."
