Manchester United legend

Chapter 230 The Shadow of the Prosperity
There is no doubt that Manchester United this season is a very good team. At that time, some media called it the best offensive team in the world in the past 10 years. Scoring 97 goals in one season is enough to prove the ferocity of the Red Devils' firepower. You must know that Manchester United only scored 80 goals last season, which has set a new record for the Premier League.

In addition, the strength of Manchester United can also be seen from the dominance of the Premier League teams. Ferguson's team won the championship only in April 2000, leading No.4 points in the final points!
This is simply unimaginable for the championship battle that was fiercely contested to the last game last season!
From the perspective of player composition, Manchester United has hardly undergone any personnel updates this season.Manchester United hardly bought any players in the midfield, only a few players were added to the defense.

In fact, what can be called a big deal is only the purchase of Taibi and the introduction of Bosnich.

It was Ferguson's move to make up for Schmeichel's departure from Manchester United's first-choice goalkeeper position.

In addition to the goalkeeper position, there are only a few new players joining Manchester United, such as John O'Shea, Quinn Fortune, Michael Sylvester, Philips Murray, etc., and there are no big-name players among them.

From the perspective of the main lineup, Manchester United's starting 11 players have always been relatively fixed. Compared with last season, only the position of the goalkeeper has changed significantly.

The other 10 positions are all from last season's Triple Crown squad.Take a look at Manchester United's main force this season: goalkeeper Bosnich (van der Gou and Taiby are substitutes), Irvine, Stam, Johnson, and Gary Neville are the main players on the back line, Borg, Philip Neville, and Sylvester are important substitutes, and Brown and O'Shea have also got starting opportunities.

In terms of midfield, the Red Devils' quartet has been extremely tacit and skilled. Giggs, Scholes, Jost and Beckham have built Manchester United's midfield to be extremely powerful, while Butt, Blomqvist, Cruyff and Fortune are substitutes.

Black Wind Shuangsha is still the main force on the forward line, while Solskjaer and Sheringham are important substitutes.

This is a lineup in which, except for the goalkeeper position, everyone else is an average of one year older than last season.

The fact that he's a year older actually only matters to aging guards like Irvine, and everyone else is still at their peak.Therefore, the dominance of this lineup in the midfield is stronger and more terrifying than last season.

The English media almost unanimously recognized that Manchester United's attack group is the most ferocious in the entire Premier League, and Manchester United's attack is also the most gorgeous and brilliant when compared to the entire European continent or the entire world of football clubs.

The "Black Wind Shuangsha" among the forwards has become a veritable superstar-level combination. The two players scored 39 league goals together in one season, becoming the best striker combination in the Premier League.

It is precisely because of trust in the outstanding performance of Black Wind and Shuangsha that Ferguson did not introduce any forward players in the summer.

Of course, this season is different from last season. Both Yorke and Cole have already achieved fame and glory in Manchester United. How to perform at a high level in the new season requires Ferguson's training and management.

Especially for York, who is obsessed with enjoying life and loves beauty, it is a difficult task for him to maintain his aggressiveness after he embraces the Champions League, League, FA Cup and other championship trophies.

For Cole, his troubles need to be added, that is, the media is still questioning his ability, "Cole just hugged Manchester United's thigh, he is not a super striker, and should not be selected for the England national team."

How to let Cole get rid of these troubles is also a very difficult topic.

In fact Ferguson did.

Ferguson used Yorke and Cole carefully. Neither of them played too many league games. Yorke played 29 games, Cole only 23 games, and the two played together in less than 20 league games.

Ferguson's intentions are obvious: you are all very good and outstanding, but you are not the only one, and Manchester United can do without you, so don't be fooled in front of me-Manchester United is the thigh.

If you are disobedient or don't train hard, then you will not even have a chance to be on the substitute list.Not only that, since the beginning of the summer, Ferguson has announced that he is going to continue to introduce Batistuta and intends to introduce new forwards.

In the second half of the season, Van Nistelrooy was even signed by Manchester United. If he hadn't failed the medical examination and had knee problems, he would have joined Manchester United before the end of the season.

Strategies like Ferguson's have been very effective.Both Yorke and Cole honestly strive for opportunities to play and try their best to perform on the court.

For the decisive battle between Manchester United and Leeds, Yorke even did not hesitate to temporarily steal chickens from the national team in the Americas Gold Cup, and flew back to Manchester without consent.

It has to be said that under the leadership of York, the Black Wind Shuangsha is indeed powerful, and there is no pressure to crush the defenders of the Premier League team.

Yorke has excellent ball-handling skills, flexible running positions, more outstanding ability to shoot with left and right feet and headers, and his ability to grab points and shoot is still sharp, and he can turn various opportunities into goals.

In addition, the most rare thing is that Yorke still fully demonstrates his powerful ability to hold the ball with his back, can effectively support the offense, and can also retreat to hold the ball to organize the offense and become the commander of the offense.

Judging from his performance this season, York's performance is world-class, and his forward role is not inferior to those of Batistuta or Raul.

Cole is more restrained this season. His position in the England national team has been strongly challenged by Phillips, Fowler, Owen, Hesky and others, but his performance is still very good, and his scoring ability is still very strong.

Ferguson said, "I don't know how England chooses strikers, but I think a striker who has scored 23 goals in 19 games should not be ignored, criticized and ridiculed."

Indeed, Cole was ridiculed by countless media such as "failed to score 5 goal with 1 opportunities in front of goal", "blind Beckham's beautiful and easy crosses" and so on.

Many media have been preaching that Manchester United will give up Cole and introduce other players.

Cole, however, has remained solid in Alexander's situation this season, and he has responded to the ill-intentioned criticism with a different goal.

During the critical period when York was absent around the New Year, Cole put aside his prejudices and worked hand in hand with Sheringham to survive the most difficult time for Manchester United and ensure that the team's points continued to occupy the top spot.

Cole, who plays as a forward or center forward, is not tall, but has excellent physical fitness. The power of grabbing points in front of the goal and anti-offside assault is still very powerful.

Chapter 229 This season, Cole also gave full play to his overall ability and scored countless goals that made opponent defenders and goalkeepers frightened.
