The Blues and Chelsea's postponement of the game had its effect, and Manchester United did not take away any points at Stamford Bridge.
The next game is a back-to-back away game against Liverpool, which is another tough battle!
For Manchester United, the most direct knock-on effect of losing to Chelsea was Vidic's visit to Liverpool on the weekend. The Red Devils' strongest point compared to other Premier League heroes is their rock-solid defense, but at Anfield, their
The defense will be forced to fight back. Leo and Evans continue to recover from injuries, and Brown has become the first choice to replace Vidic: "I think Leo will not be able to make it in time to play Liverpool, and Brown will appear." Ferguson said after the game on Tuesday.
Vidic performed well for most of the game. When Torres played for Liverpool, he scored 3 goals for Manchester United in 4 games, and Vidic witnessed it painfully. But he faced Anelka and Droghe in this game.
The continuous impact of the three major Chelsea shooters, including Barca and Torres, and the Serbian frontal blocking and close pressing were all very effective. His foul on Ramirez before the end of the game was a bit reckless, which was also a sign that Manchester United's defense was enduring a heavy workload.
It is a sign that it is close to collapse after being pressed for a long time.
When Ferdinand was absent, Vidic supported the backbone of Manchester United's defense. Once he was absent, the defensive burden fell on the shoulders of youngster Smalling.
Smalling balanced his merits and demerits in this game. He not only assisted Vidic to keep scoreless for nearly an hour, but also carelessly sent a penalty kick in the penalty area. However, due to the shortage of personnel, Sir Alex Ferguson could only continue to put him on the front desk on the weekend. Ferguson's match against Sri Lanka
Marin has high hopes. The latter has encountered fierce battles repeatedly and has another chance to make amends this week.
When Giggs replaced Scholes in the 70th minute, a legendary record was born. Although the final outcome of the game was the same as 20 years ago (the Red Devils lost), it equaled Bobby Charlton's 606 league games.
After the appearance record, Giggs has become the first player in Manchester United's century-old history.
20 years ago, Giggs was still a 17-year-old boy. He had fluffy curly hair, a thin body, and looked frail. On March 2, 1991, he stood on the touchline of Old Trafford, preparing to substitute.
When Dennis Irwin was injured, some fans whispered: Who is this guy? Michael Knightton, the director of Manchester United, was sitting in the box at the time. He had heard that a player named Ryan Giggs had appeared in the first team.
The Welshman has lightning speed and astonishing skills, but when he stood next to forward Danny Wohlers (height 163m), Michael couldn't help laughing: He is really a "giant" striker
!
At that time, no one expected that Giggs would witness the legend of Manchester United in the next 20 long years. In two decades, 133 teammates came and went in vain. Mark Hugh, who had a close relationship when he first joined the team,
Steve Bruce and others have become well-known coaches in the Premier League. The new Hernandez can be regarded as his senior in terms of age, but Giggs is still trying to extend the life of his career. He is like another
Maldini, the Ivy League player on the left, continues to set records and challenge the limits of his body.[
When Ryan Giggs entered football history, Manchester United was in the midst of a turbulent but promising period of transformation.
Old Trafford at that time was completely different from what it is now. The turf was uneven, some gravel was exposed, and the mud was up to the ankles. The city of Manchester was also still in the silence of the post-industrial era, with hundreds of buildings around the city.
Abandoned and waiting for redevelopment, it is far less prosperous than the row upon row of buildings now.
The Welsh did not join the best team in England. That era belonged to Liverpool. Their North West Derby opponent was the real center of English football. Everton and Liverpool dominated the entire 1980s.
and.
Giggs likes Manchester United because he was influenced by his grandmother. When he was a child, he hated training on Manchester City's artificial grass. Not only because of the venue, but also because he was very resistant to Manchester's sky blue deep in his heart. He was able to join Manchester United.
Giggs' wish was fulfilled. At that time, the young Welshman could vaguely feel the huge changes that had happened to the Red Devils. He could smell a fresh smell and the strong desire for victory among his young partners.
He is the first person among the youth team that Ferguson carefully cultivated to make a breakthrough after taking over the coaching job of the Red Devils.
In the 1 or 2 years after he became the main force of the first team, players such as Beckham, the Neville brothers, Scholes and other players who were later called the '99 golden generation emerged.
Therefore, Giggs has truly witnessed the birth and rise of the Manchester United dynasty, and it is still continuing. In the past twenty years, he has won 48 medals of various sizes, some of which were given to the Manchester United Museum, and the rest were donated to the Manchester United Museum.
Giggs was randomly stuffed in the wardrobe at home. Giggs was not a fanatical "gold medal collector". He did not have the "wall of honor" common in English homes. Once, he rummaged through the cabinets in order to find a league gold medal, and finally found it in a
Found under a pile of clothes.
Bobby Charlton commented that Giggs is "a wonder of modern football". The Welshman is not the fastest, his technique is not the most brilliant, and he is not the most handsome.
But Giggs is unique to Manchester United. "Think about how he has maintained his peak form for 20 years. Not many people can do this," Ferguson said.
Fortunately for Giggs, he started early. When he debuted on stage in early March 1991, the Welshman was only 17 years old.
In the 199192 season, Giggs had become the main player of the Red Devils and won the PF Rookie of the Year award, but he was only old enough to play in the FA Youth Cup, and the Welshman did appear in the final of this cup.
Compared with the current youth training system, the mechanism of the youth team 20 years ago was simpler and more casual. "I often missed school to play football. This is impossible now," Giggs said. One day it snowed heavily, and Giggs thought
The youth team training was about to be cancelled, but the coach ordered the players to go out and play football for 30 minutes. "If this happens now, the coach will definitely be fired," the Welshman recalled.
Under the simple youth training mechanism at that time, 17-year-old children were not yet fully formed.
Their skills have yet to be refined, and their positional sense is not so clear. If Giggs had not caught up with Manchester United's huge transformation period, he might have "continued to practice his right foot in the youth team" because he is a natural left-footer.
The Welshman's position is not so clear either. He can play as a forward or left midfielder. For example, in his debut game against Everton, he partnered with Wohlers on the striker. But Ferguson couldn't wait any longer. In 1991, "the honor room was empty."
It’s been too long, even the League Cup is an amazing achievement.”[
At that time, Sir Alex Ferguson had been on the throne for five years and had only won one FA Cup championship. Players such as Bruce, Mark Hughes, and Bryan Robson had all left. Their careers were coming to an end, and the team needed fresh blood. Giger
Si met the best era as soon as he debuted.
The curly little guy was very welcome in the dressing room, especially the Welsh gang - Mark Hughes and Clayton Blackmore. When they first entered the first team, the two warned their teammates, "Don't bully that Welsh kid."
Bryan Robson also loved Giggs very much. When the team was playing in separate teams, he warned the defender in an old-fashioned way, "If you want to mess with Ryan, ask me first if I agree."
With the protection of veteran players such as Hughes and Robson, Giggs can complete the adjustment more calmly and outline his mark in the great era when Manchester United is about to take off.
In fact, Everton came prepared twenty years ago. You must know that Giggs was already somewhat famous in England before he made his official debut.
Toffees right back Dave Watson said, "We know that there is a little guy on the Manchester United bench who is very fast. The coach told us to be wary of him." So, as soon as Giggs came on the stage, Dave was riveting.
Jin wanted to give him a showdown, and "set me up from behind, leaving a hole in his knee." This is Giggs' only memory of his debut, "He seemed to be reminding me, welcome to adults' football."
world!"
But Giggs is too fast and is very good at using this advantage reasonably.
He has the physical advantages and sense of balance inherited from his black father, which is especially important for a full midfielder. This makes him less likely to fall when defenders collide, and he is always one step faster than defenders to regain his footing and continue making moves.
Before systematic football training, Giggs's task of playing football was very simple. "Stay on the left, wait for the ball to be passed, and then rush past everyone who rushes at the opponent...", sometimes playing football
The team lost by a large margin because "I stayed on the left, but no one could pass the ball to me smoothly."
His brilliant breakthroughs and dribbling were the hallmarks of Giggs in his youth. The pinnacle was undoubtedly the goal he scored by riding thousands of miles away in the 1999 FA Cup final between Arsenal and Manchester United. But Giggs was not
A traditional winger like Ronaldo, so it is not common for Giggs to score goals by beating several people with his lightning speed, which makes this goal even more precious.
When talking about Giggs’ 20 years, this classic goal cannot be avoided, but it is also an extremely unique one. He not only plays with speed, but when you think of the angel flying on the left, you may think of Pires.
It may also be Robben who became famous later, but after the age of 20, Giggs gradually reduced his reliance on speed and learned to play with his brain.
As he grows older and his physical functions gradually deteriorate, Giggs' wisdom and magnanimity make him one of the masters.
The record he left behind may be surpassed by others in the future; but he will always be unique to Manchester United. Although he has not left yet, fans have already begun to miss this legend who has been a legend for twenty years.
With the possible departure of Ferguson, will the legendary life of Ryan Giggs become a thing of the past?
It is reported that Mourinho's prospects in Real Madrid are becoming more and more confusing. Due to the tense relationship with Valdano and other club executives, the madman may leave the team in the summer. When talking about the possibility of coaching in the future, Mourinho said
, I will not go to the sworn enemy team of my former club.
There is news in the Italian media that Roma in Serie A hopes to introduce Mourinho. In England, Mourinho's name is mentioned the most in discussions about Ferguson's future successor.
Madman said not long ago that he would never go to Barcelona to coach. Now he has expanded the scope and named two teams as examples. "If I leave Real Madrid, I hope to coach a big club in the Premier League or Italy.
." Mourinho said, "But those teams (old clubs) that I was happy with, I will not coach their mortal enemies."
"For example, because I coached Real Madrid, I would never go to Barcelona, and after what I had at Inter Milan, I would never go to Juventus."
Mourinho did not specifically talk about the example of the Premier League. It is known that he still has deep feelings for Chelsea. Does this mean that he will not go to the Blues' arch-rival Manchester United in the future? Of course, in football circles, people say something every day,
But most remarks will become a thing of the past. There is no "never" in football. The most true sentence that often hangs on the lips of most coaches and players is: you never know what will happen in the future.
Perhaps it was due to the various rumors before the game that Manchester United couldn't find the status of the game.
At Anfield, the Liverpool people taught the Manchester United people a good lesson about rough football!
Nani was even kicked out of the game by Liverpool's deputy Carragher. It can be clearly seen in the camera that the Portuguese cried after being kicked!
Manchester United lost 1-3 in an away game to Liverpool, suffering two consecutive league defeats. With one more game, they were only 3 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal. But what made Sir Alex Ferguson more uncomfortable than the defeat was that Manchester United midfielder Nadine
Neighbor was injured in a tackle by Liverpool deputy Carragher in the first half, causing him to be put on a stretcher and carried directly off the field.
After the game, Manchester United coach Ferguson may have been angry. Sir Alex Ferguson did not say a word to the media. "Guardian" reporter Daniel Taylor wrote on his special account, "Manchester United officially said Sir Alex Ferguson will not play in the game."
After the game, he said anything to the media, including Manchester United TV. Manchester United players also received orders not to say anything to the media. Carragher waited outside the Manchester United dressing room after the game, preparing to apologize to Nani for his flying tackle.
.”
Although Manchester United players were ordered not to express any opinions to the media, Manchester United's defense leader Ferdinand, who was absent due to injury in this game, wrote on his special message, "Today is a bad result and we have no reason (for losing).
"
According to reports on Manchester United's official website, Manchester United will check Nani's injury at the Carrington training base on Monday morning local time. A club spokesman confirmed that Nani suffered a "large injury" on his leg after being tackled by Carragher.
Deep wound."
For Manchester United, the only consolation is that Valencia's comeback is imminent. The Ecuadorian appeared in the crowd when Manchester United challenged Liverpool away, but ultimately failed to make the 18-man roster for the game.
It's so disappointing - after Manchester United's 1-3 defeat to Liverpool, "Sky Sports" gave this evaluation of Rafal's performance. Objectively speaking, this comment is already very euphemistic. Look at the fans.
Let’s rate the Brazilian teenager, 39 points. Rafael, who was once regarded as the perfect successor to Gary Neville, did nothing in the 75 minutes he played. More importantly, the hot-tempered Brazilian teenager caused trouble again...
…
At the end of the first half, Carragher tackled Nani, and the Portuguese winger was directly carried out of the field on a stretcher by the staff. This made everyone at Manchester United furious, but Rafael used the most irrational method.
Vented his anger.
In stoppage time, Rafael did not close his feet to fight with Maxi Rodriguez. The latter gave the ball to Lucas and then quickly closed his feet to avoid Rafael, but Lucas was not so
Fortunately, although the ball was passed out immediately, Rafael's brutal frontal sliding tackle severely knocked down his Brazilian compatriot.
The Liverpool players immediately surrounded Rafal. Skrtel, who bore the brunt, pushed Rafal away mercilessly. Rafal also showed no sign of weakness and rushed forward to compete with him as if he was flying fiercely.
The taller opponent bumped into the chest, and the two sides almost broke into a group fight. If it weren't for several old teammates in the team who intervened,
Explanation, this red war may really go viral. In the end, Rafael only got a yellow card, which was considered to have escaped. If he was directly shown a red card, Rafael would be suspended for three games. According to regulations,
The ban applies to all domestic matches, including the crucial FA Cup tie between Manchester United and Arsenal a week later.
Ferguson once said with some regret: "Rafal is an impulsive child."
Indeed, this talented Brazilian youngster is a rare full-back talent, but what is out of proportion to his seemingly friendly baby face is his bad temper.
In the second round of the Champions League knockout match last season between Manchester United and Bayern, Rafael successfully stifled Franck Ribery. As a result, the Brazilian, who was on the rise, got too excited in defense and took the initiative to apply for a red card to leave the field, which indirectly caused the team's elimination.
This season, in Manchester United's away game against Tottenham, Rafael successfully restricted Bell's performance on the wing, but he was sent off for two consecutive yellow cards for two dangerous fouls, which caused Manchester United's territory
Was bombarded by opponents in the last thirty minutes.
In the Manchester derby, Rafael almost got into a fight with Manchester City boss Carlos Tevez. Facing Tevez, who is known as the "beast", Rafael, who is not afraid of tigers as a newborn, boldly butt nose-to-nose with his opponent and use swear words.
, in the end, even though Tevez had walked away, Rafael still kept roaring, which shows how hot-tempered this young player born in the 1990s is.
Compared to his previous outbursts, Rafael's rampage in this game seemed even more unreasonable.
After all, Rafael's previous confrontations with opponents were all based on his outstanding performance at the competitive level, so he could have the capital to indulge. Ribery, Bale, and Tevez did not get any benefits from Rafael, but this time, Rafael
Fall was defeated by Suarez, Meireles, Glenn-
The Johnsons took turns to humiliate Suarez. Suarez's Maradona-style assist started by passing Rafael. What made the Brazilian teenager even more embarrassed was that he was already close to Suarez at that time, but he still couldn't stop his opponent.
He turned around and was crotched by the Uruguayan.
In the 75th minute, Ferguson replaced Rafael with O'Shea, who was more stable in defense but had mediocre assist ability. With the team lagging behind, Sir Alex's substitution was obviously an early surrender, but he did not want to continue to lose.
The ball, because the right wing guarded by Rafael was really blocked.
With Rafal's temper, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not make dangerous moves in a hurry. Since Rafal already has a yellow card, Manchester United may have to face the situation of having one less person to fight.
And the scarred defense will add another suspended player.
From Ferguson's point of view, this substitution was out of the protection of the team and Rafal, but for Rafal himself, this was undoubtedly a humiliating end.
Rafael's performance in most games this season has been remarkable, but facing the reborn Liverpool attack group, the still immature Rafael failed to pass the big test.
However, there is absolutely no doubt about Rafal's talent. Ferguson has given Rafal a tolerant growth environment. "Rafal's performance this season is very good. We can clearly see his progress. You must know that he is only 20 years old.
Very few people can remain stable at this age, but Rafael has done a good job at this point." Sir Alex made no secret of his love for Rafael, "Maybe he will make mistakes now, but we value it more.
His future."
For Manchester United, which is currently in a period of replacement, paying this tuition fee for the future of the defense will definitely be worth it.
Of course, the premise is that Rafael can learn to restrain his bad temper as he grows older. Otherwise, no matter how he improves from a competitive perspective, he may cause irreparable losses to the team due to irrational behavior, and he
I can only walk between the heroes and the villains, and I will never be able to reach the superstardom.
Li Yu scored Manchester United's only goal in this game, but Manchester United No. 9 was obviously unhappy after the game. Facing numerous questions from reporters, Li Yu only said, "This is not a football match, but a football match."
Like a football game!”
Why did Manchester United No. 9 answer like this? Just look at what happened to him in the game and you will know why Manchester United No. 9 is so angry!
It’s just that he kept getting rough fouls without being punished by the referee. Even the home fans were booing and booing to make Manchester United No. 9 hurry up. This was not just acting, okay, he was really shoveled, and the people on the scene were
The fans showed no respect at all, and the same goes for Liverpool's players. It was a game with no skills at all and rough fouls everywhere. The final result turned out to be that Manchester United received more yellow cards than initiative.
