Chapter 195 The Lord's Determination
The team defeated Manchester United 1-0 at home and continued to lead the league standings. Tottenham fans were naturally extremely satisfied with this result. Even if the rival Arsenal also won a victory at Manchester City, it did not have any negative impact on their good mood.
In any case, with many generals leaving this summer, and even the core of the organization Carrick transferred to Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur can advance together in the league and Champions League after the opening of the new season, and temporarily ranked in the list in both standings. Such a result can be regarded as rare. Even the most picky fans and experts cannot say that Tottenham's record is not outstanding enough. At most, they are picking the bones in the eggs. They say that Tottenham can only play such excellently with their temporary courage. When this momentum gradually fades as the season deepens, Tottenham Hotspur, which needs to face a multi-line battle situation, will soon be defeated back to its original form.
Tottenham players naturally sneered at this argument. If this statement is true, then it would be an impossible task for them to win the League Cup and FA Cup championships last season while winning the British runner-up. Therefore, no Tottenham players took these remarks that looked down on them in mind!
Looking at Manchester United, although they lost to White Hart Lane in the seventh round of the league, the team's ranking in the standings further declined, and they have not won a head-on battle with George so far, but Ferguson did not have much anger or anxiety in his heart, nor did he face the players after the game. In Sir Jones's view, the reason why Manchester United lost to Tottenham this time is not because the players did not work hard enough, but because the overall strength of the Red Devils is not as good as the opponent. In this case, Sir Jones naturally does not need to blame the players under his command, or ask them to complete the tasks of their existing abilities in the game.
What's more, Ferguson has devoted most of his energy to how to adjust the offensive system in the frontcourt at this time, and has no extra effort to have these useless verbal disputes with the media!
After witnessing the huge lethality brought by wide attackers such as Pire and Ronaldo after mastering the skill of incisive attack, Ferguson, who is good at learning the advantages of his opponents, naturally planned to copy this trick to Manchester United. In this way, even if forward players such as Van Nicht cannot open up the situation for the team on the court, Manchester United can still have other tricks to score.
However, after this confrontation with Tottenham, Ferguson realized a problem that he had always ignored, that is, as Manchester United's forward ace, is Fanny himself willing to see such changes in the team?
You should know that when Ferguson introduced the then-high Peron from Lazio three years ago, and tried to implement technical reforms, he was secretly boycotted by old players such as Roy Keane. For these players who have become accustomed to the existing style of play and have achieved great success, they naturally do not want any changes in the team. Because this change in the tactical system generally brings results they do not want to see - for example, some comrades who have been fighting with them for many years have to choose to leave because they are not adapted to the new tactical style of play, or they themselves lose their main position in Manchester United because of this change!
As a result, Ferguson's heavy signing not only caused Bellon to completely fall out of the top midfielder, but also made Sir Jordan's technical transformation of Manchester United not successfully completed until now. The Red Devils' four consecutive league championships also turned into a dream in this turbulent atmosphere, and was successfully ended by his old opponent Arsenal.
This is also why after the Flying Boot Gate incident, Sir Joseph would rather risk being drowned by fans all over the world to send Beckham away and forcibly break up this midfield combination that brought countless honors and championship trophys to Manchester United. Because Sir Joseph clearly knows that if he does not use this excuse to sell Beckham and regain the team's voice in his hands, and let these guys know who is the real boss of Manchester United, then this technological transformation will probably not make much progress in the future.
Therefore, when Ferguson showed that in addition to the members of Class 92 and Roy Keane, Fanny was also involved in this muddy water, the Lord's heart was not only filled with indescribable anger, but also more regretful and regretful.
"I hope Luther (Van Nie) can be wiser and give some of the power he has in his hands to Joaquin and others." Although Ferguson felt a little painful in his heart, he did not hesitate at all, otherwise, I could only say sorry to him."
For Ferguson, who has made up his mind to carry out technical transformation at Manchester United, this time no matter who stands on his opposite side, he will eliminate it without mercy! Even Beckham and Fanny, a player who are almost indispensable to Manchester United, will only get the same treatment from Ferguson!
Just as Ferguson was about to start dealing with the veteran faction that was gradually becoming more and more powerful in the team, George led the team to Torino, more than a thousand kilometers away from London, preparing to face the challenge of the second round of the Champions League group stage. This time, Tottenham's opponent was the Serie A overlord, Juventus led by gold medal coach Capello!
Since Juventus failed to get the Swedish god tower with George's intervention in this life, the Zebras' forward strength is naturally much weaker than in the previous life. However, compared with his previous life, Juventus' midfield has become stronger - Dutch young player De Jong, who transferred from Ajax in the summer, showed excellent potential in the midfield position, and successfully squeezed out veteran Tachinadi, as well as competitors such as Brasi and Apia, to become Emerson's best partner in the midfield position!
Faced with such a Zebra Legion whose offense has weakened but whose defense level has been greatly improved, it is extremely difficult for Tottenham players who have never experienced Italian reinforced concrete defense to take away a victory at the Alp Stadium!
Don’t forget that in terms of defensive counterattacks, Juventus from Serie A and Capello who became famous for this are the real experts. If George is not prepared for it, he may be severely educated by the Zebras. Therefore, for this Champions League group stage with Juventus, George’s goal is also clear - at least take away a draw and a point from the Alpes Stadium!
After all, it is not the knockout stage where the bayonet is so popular that a little negligence may lead to the wasted of all efforts, but the group stage with a high error tolerance rate. Therefore, getting a point from Juventus away is quite enough for Tottenham, whose goal is to get a qualifying place in the group!
