Chapter 127: The Improvisation of Alex Ferguson
Updated: 2012-08-29
Gong Zheng's injury did cause some trouble for Chelsea, but this trouble was not big. Under the control of Carlos Ancelotti, although the tactics formulated before could not be used, they could play according to their usual tactics, so they could grasp such a way of playing better.
Before the game, Chelsea's head coach Carlos Ancelotti said this in an interview with reporters: "I regret the injuries of Gong Zheng, Scholes and others. Manchester United is a great team. So far this season, they have done better than us. They are worthy of being able to stay in their current position. However, I think they are in trouble now, and it is still a huge problem. I am sorry for this. But we won't pity them in the game. This is our Chelsea opportunity, right?"
Carlos Ancelotti praised Gong Zheng in an interview with reporters, saying that Gong Zheng is the best center in the English Premier League, saying that Gong Zheng missed the World Cup, that it would be a loss for the World Cup and fans all over the world, that he felt sorry for Gong Zheng's injury, etc.
Well, Carlos Ancelotti praised Manchester United, Gong Zheng and others all over the place, and praised them to the sky. Although this is praising the stars of Manchester United and Manchester United, in the eyes of Manchester United fans, Carlos Ancelotti is taking advantage of it.
Such a guy is so hateful. Manchester United fans immediately blacklisted Carlos Ancelotti.
In an interview with reporters before the game, Chelsea midfielder Mr. Lampard said this: "I regret the injuries of Gong Zheng and others. This will be the loss of the fans. However, we will not slow down our pace because of this. We are going to be for the league championship."
Chelsea’s defensive core John Terry said this in an interview with reporters: “Gong Zheng’s injury does have a great impact on Manchester United. But I don’t think Manchester United will become a team that everyone bullies. Where is their strength? This will be a fierce battle, and Manchester United’s strength cannot be underestimated. I will be very busy in this game. We look forward to this game, and we look forward to victory even more.”
Well, Chelsea players seemed to feel a little relaxed when they were interviewed, as if they did not have the urgency of approaching the competition. It can be seen that they were well prepared for this game, and they all went for victory.
Manchester United seems very low-key. When Manchester United players were interviewed by reporters, their faces were full of worry. Giggs said in an interview with reporters: "We will definitely do our best in this game. For the injured Gong Zheng, Scholes and others, we will work hard to bring back a victory."
Facing Chelsea, the entire Manchester United team appeared in a sad posture, and the mood of Manchester United fans was also shrouded in a shadow. This game was hanging.
As the helmsman of the team, Alex Ferguson said this in an interview with reporters: "We speak for ourselves the importance of this game, and we will not give up on this game. We must win this game. Even for the injured Gong Zheng and others, we must win this game. We cannot let their efforts be in vain."
Manchester United fans are very clear about the importance of this game. In such an important game, Manchester United was injured in the camp, which made Manchester United fans very worried, and Manchester was sad.
The red and blue battle at Old Trafford on Saturday will largely determine the ownership of Britain this season. Such an important event should also be a referee who enforces the law. However, the 41-year-old Mike Dean obviously does not have such a good image. After being designated as the referee for this decisive battle, British media have dug up his foundation, suggesting that the "soft whistle" may be an unstable factor in the game.
How soft is Mike Dean's whistle? Blackburn fullback Olsson can tell you a story. On March 28, Blackburn defeated Burnley with a penalty kick, and the penalty kick was the result of the joint action of Olsson and Mike Dean. After the game, Olsson revealed: "I know the referee awarded twice as many penalty kicks than others, so I took the opportunity." Of course, Olsson did not admit that he fell down on purpose, "I saw the goalkeeper's foot stretched out. Maybe I exaggerated it a little, and when the whistle sounded, I thought I would give me a yellow card."
This season, Mike Dean has enforced the law for twenty-four games, giving a total of 16 penalty kicks, and every five games is a penalty. It is the referee who England has the most frequent penalty kicks. Three of them were awarded to the Red Devils, including the penalty kicks tied when Manchester United beat Wigan Athletic at home and two penalty kicks from Manchester United to Portsmouth away. The former's penalty is quite controversial, and Wigan Athletics has always believed that Rooney was suspected of fake falls; in the latter game, Mike Dean even gave three penalty kicks in a single game.
Mike Dean and Ferguson also had a festival. In the 2008-2009 season, Manchester United beat Hull City four to three at home. Ferguson quarreled with Mike Dean, accusing him of not sending Hull City defender, and was fined 10,000 pounds and suspended two games.
Chelsea and Mike Dean's "hate" is closer. In February this year, he lost to Manchester City 2-4 at home, and the Blues' Beletti and Barack were sent off by Mike Dean.
Therefore, the law enforcement referee in this game made Manchester United and Chelsea unsatisfied. They think that Mike Dean's weight is not worthy of this heavyweight game, and this game may determine the final ownership of the Premier League championship this season. In such an important game, the FA actually sent such a referee, which made the Red Devils and Blues fans very unhappy.
However, it is obvious that the English Football Team will never change referees, so now both sides should no longer focus on this. Now both sides should focus on the upcoming game, which is very important to both sides.
The two sides have faced each other in the last six matches, Chelsea won one win, three draws and two losses. Last season, Chelsea was swept by the Red Devils three-to-zero at Old Trafford. This season, Chelsea was once again humiliated by Manchester United at home. Now this game is a revenge battle between Carlos Ancelotti and Chelsea.
Manchester United has won 14 home games this season, one draw and one loss, Chelsea has won 8 home games this season, four draws and four losses, Manchester United has won 7 wins and one loss in the last eight games, and Chelsea has won 4 wins and one draw and three losses in the last eight games.
On the evening of April 3, 2010, Manchester United faced Chelsea at home!
Now, Manchester United has prepared a surprise for Chelsea, a big surprise!! Of course, Chelsea's personnel are still in the dark.
Before this game, Manchester United ranked first in the Premier League. They currently have 76 points, leading Chelsea, which is ranked second. If Manchester United wins in this game, Manchester United will lead Chelsea by eight points. With five rounds left in the league, Manchester United will have a great chance of winning the championship. If Chelsea wins this game, the gap between the two teams will narrow to two points, and then Chelsea has a very big chance to win the championship.
Therefore, this game is very important to both sides, and no one will give up so easily.
On the day of the game, Manchester United fans flocked to Old Trafford Stadium early. Although they will lose their main center Gong Zheng and midfielder Scholes and others in this game, Manchester United fans still attach great importance to this game. After all, it is very likely that this game will affect the issue of the final championship of the Premier League this season.
Manchester United fans filled Old Trafford Stadium a long time ago, creating a very good home atmosphere and preparing to give Chelsea a warning.
Chelsea came to Manchester today with great excitement. Although they reminded themselves in their hearts not to underestimate the current Manchester United team, after learning that Gong Zheng was injured, these guys couldn't help but secretly be happy.
When warming up on the stadium, these guys felt very relaxed, and each one was very comfortable. Of course, they didn’t mean to underestimate the enemy, but the big stone of Shao Gong Zheng was pressed into their hearts, so they felt much more relaxed.
After a simple warm-up, the players from both sides returned to the locker room to listen to the head coach's tactical deployment of the game.
"Hello everyone, everyone, this is Sky Sports. Today we will bring you a game in the 33rd round of the Premier League this season. The two sides are Manchester United and Chelsea. This is the top battle in the Premier League this season. This is a wonderful game after all." The commentator of Sky Sports began his opening remarks.
"However, this game may disappoint the fans who are paying attention to this game, because Manchester United's center Gong Zheng, forward Rooney and midfielder Scholes were injured, which will inevitably affect the strength of Manchester United. This is really not good news." The commentator of Sky Sports continued.
"Of course Chelsea fans will be very excited because they seem to see the dawn of victory and they see hope of overtaking Manchester United. It is very likely that Chelsea will win the championship this season." The commentator of Sky Sports said endlessly.
"Okay, now the players from both sides are ready to play, let's pay attention to this game." The smile on the commentator of Sky Sports suddenly froze and shouted in a horrified voice: "Ah... Gong... Gong Zheng... Did I see a ghost??"
At this time, the commentator of Sky Sports was shocked when he saw that the Manchester United lineup was Gong Zheng in the end.
"Ah... we were cheated, we were cheated!! Damn Manchester, damn Alex Ferguson, ah! Damn Gong Zheng, damn Rooney..." The commentator of London Sports watched Gong Zheng appear on the list, and looked at the lively Gong Zheng and Rooney in the stadium, his heart was filled with evil fire!
Like him, there are Chelsea fans from London. When they saw the lively Gong Zheng and Rooney in the stadium, they gritted their teeth: "Damn Manchester guys, you guys, you bunch of trash, these scumbags!! Gong Zheng, you trash, Rooney, why don't you die?..."
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
"It seems that we are all cheated, damn Alex Ferguson, damn conspirator!! Hahaha, I love conspirator!!" The commentator of Sky Sports laughed.
Chelsea's head coach and players were stunned when they saw Gong Zheng, and they understood one by one in a flash. They stared at Gong Zheng fiercely and cursed inwardly: "Damn conspirator!!"
Yes, this conspiracy, Gong Zheng was not actually injured in the game against Bayern Munich. At that time, he saw that Gong Zheng was knocked to the ground and carried to the sidelines. Seeing that the game was too long, Alex Ferguson made a decision to make Gong Zheng cheat the injury and prepare for the weekend's game against Chelsea.
