As a guest at Blackburn Rovers, facing an opponent that they had scored 7 goals against this season, all Manchester United had to do was to completely zip up and seal the pocket containing the Premier League championship trophy, and then enter the visiting team's dressing room at Ewood Park.
There was a wild celebration. After 90 minutes, the Manchester United people did it!
As of the 37th round of the league, Manchester United, the Premier League champion this season, has scored 74 goals, averaging 2 goals per game.
In terms of goals scored, it is 7 goals ahead of Chelsea, which is second in the standings (one game less), and 5 goals ahead of Arsenal, which is second in goals (one game less). Its attack power ranks first in the Premier League.
Manchester United's rivals Chelsea in Premier League this season
There were a total of 5 games in the league in which the opponent scored 4 goals or more, namely: a 6-0 home win over West Brom, a 6-0 away win over Wigan Athletic, a 4-0 home win over Blackpool, and a 4-0 away win over Bolton Wanderers.
, a 4-2 away win over Sunderland.
It is worth mentioning that of these five victories, three games ended before October last year. After the away win against Sunderland (February 1), that is, after the winter transfer window was closed, Chelsea
After scoring another 4 goals in 17 consecutive games in all competitions, Ancelotti deliberately strengthened the defensive thickness tactically, but this also caused them to lose 7 consecutive games to Liverpool, Fulham and Stoke City.
point.
There are a total of 4 league games in which Manchester United has scored more than 4 goals, namely: 7-1 home win over Blackburn Rovers, 5-0 home win over Birmingham City, 4-0 away win over Wigan Athletic, and 4-2 away win over West Ham.
M. Although the Red Devils' first big win was a bit disappointing
They arrived late (beating Blackburn on November 27) and played one less game than Chelsea, but they performed very stably in terms of offensive power. When they couldn't open the opponent's goal for most of the game, there was always someone there.
Stand up and score the winning goal.
The most obvious example is the away win against West Brom and the home win over Everton in the league. When the Red Devils were passive or suppressed the opponent throughout the game but could not open the opponent's goal, someone stepped forward to save the team in time. It should be said that the team's
The style combined with the personal abilities of the stars (Li Yu scored 29 goals in the Premier League, Xiao Wandou 15 goals in all competitions, Nani scored 14 goals in the Premier League and Rooney scored 11 assists and 11 assists) ensured the team's strong offensive power at critical moments.
Offensive advantage has always been a magic weapon for Manchester United to compete for the championship. In the Premier League three years ago, Manchester United and Chelsea entered the final round with the same points. At that time, the Red Devils conceded 4 fewer goals than Chelsea, but scored 80 goals.
, a full 15 more than its competitors. This also allowed the team to win in the final round.
It has formed a huge psychological advantage in the past. Attack has always been the most proud of Manchester United. It can be said that it has been successfully integrated into the team's blood. Ferguson once said: "We have always had our own unchanging beliefs. Manchester United's offensive style
, is the style that football should have, this is our tradition."
On the other hand, Manchester United conceded 35 goals in 37 rounds, slightly higher than Chelsea (30 goals) and Manchester City (33 goals), ranking third in the Premier League. This is partly due to the team's defensive line at the beginning of the season.
Instability. The most obvious example was the 3-3 draw with Everton and the 2-2 draw with Bolton in the early stages of the league. Gary Neville and Evans were ruined by consecutive low-level mistakes.
The team should have scored 6 points, but Evra, Brown, Vidic and others also experienced a downturn. But with the retirement of Gary Neville, Ferguson adjusted his strategy in time and hid Brown and Evans.
With the help of O'Shea, Rafael and Smalling, Manchester United's defense has gradually returned to its former stability, which to a certain extent ensures their motivation to catch up in the standings.
After 37 rounds, although the away record (5 wins, 10 draws and 4 losses) only ranked 4th in the Premier League, the horrific home record of 17 wins and 1 draw (they maintained a complete victory against the top 6 teams in the Premier League) made Ferguson's
The team has enough capital to overwhelm Chelsea in two rounds in advance and basically lock in the championship.[
There are many indispensable factors that can overwhelm Chelsea, the first of which must be Sir Alex Ferguson's leadership ability.
After consecutive away games and draws at the beginning of the season, Manchester United's godfather decisively made changes to the lineup and adjusted the configuration of the back line; even though Berbatov had good momentum, he was still determined to replace the dashing brother with Hernandez in the starting lineup; Kari
Insist on using it when Ke's condition is sluggish; some of these decisions require courage and require the coach's complete familiarity and control over the team.
It will cause the team to lose control. As the team's master, Sir Alex Ferguson, who has coached Manchester United for more than 20 years, can be proud of the Premier League. In contrast, Ancelotti, who only came to England last season, was fired as assistant coach Wilkinson.
Later, he lost control of the locker room, causing the team's record to decline. Compared with Ferguson, this was objectively the biggest failure that caused Chelsea to lose the chance to defend the title.
Secondly, Ferguson's seemingly unspectacular signings in the summer proved to have played an irreplaceable role.
Although the high-priced introduction of Bibby (£7.4 million) has proven to be of no use, the sudden emergence of Hernandez (£7 million) has laid the cornerstone for Manchester United on the road to the double championship and played an irreplaceable role.
effect.
Compared with Chelsea's continuous large-scale signings of 98 million pounds (Torres, David Luis, Ramires and Benayoun), only Ramirez and David Luiz played a certain role (Ramirez joined the team
It was not stable at the beginning. David Luiz helped the team win the league at home and Manchester United lost away games.
Opponent, 1 equalizer) can be said to have exceeded the opponent's total.
The depth of the bench is also one of Manchester United's strengths. In addition to the currently well-equipped wingers, forwards and central defenders, the full-backs and midfielders have always been two areas of criticism for the Red Devils.
Although his strength is not outstanding, Ferguson has never faced the embarrassing situation of having no one available in these two positions this season. When the status of veterans Brown and Gary Neville declined, Ferguson had O'Shea, Fabio and Rafa in his hands.
He has three good cards, among which the first two can play on both left and right sides, and have proven that they are capable, especially Fabio, who has become a new player this season when Rafael was injured.
With the sudden emergence of Paul Scholes, there is a strong tendency to put his younger brother on the bench in the future. At the central midfielder position, as Scholes gets older, Manchester United is in urgent need of an organizer. Even so, Carrick, Anderson, Fletcher and Gil
The rotation of Gus and several others ensured that the Red Devils had the advantage of possession of the ball most of the time at home. You must know that the home result of 17 wins and 1 draw is the foundation of the Red Devils' 19th championship.
The issue that Ferguson needs to be most concerned about right now is who will replace Van der Sar to guard Old Trafford next season. With the signing funds guaranteed, the only thing Sir Alex has to do is to be more discerning.
Just make the same mistake as Bibby.
Before Christmas in 1963, a young man who was about to celebrate his 22nd birthday was working in a factory and playing football for the St. Johnston reserve team. At that time, the young man could not even play in the main team in the reserve team and had no plans to play any more.
He took up the job of football and even wanted to immigrate to Canada. However, a flu changed everything.
That winter, as many as five players in the St. John's first team fell down with the flu. The young man, who had no illusions about his career, was summoned to the club by an urgent telegram from the coach.
The young man was called in at the last moment and performed a hat-trick at the Ibrox Stadium of Glasgow Rangers, becoming the first visiting team player to perform a hat-trick at the Rangers home court. The next day, major newspapers and periodicals reported on this, and the titles of many newspapers were "
Who is this kid who shocked Rangers?" Today, 48 years later, there are very few people in the world who like football who don't know his name - Manchester United (Manchester United News) head coach Alex Ferguson.
Destiny changed. In 1964, First Division Dunfermline signed a contract with Ferguson, and from then on, he became a professional player.
In the 1965-66 season, the 24-year-old Ferguson played 51 games for Dunfermline and scored 45 goals, including 31 goals in the league. He became the Golden Boot winner of the Scottish top league that season. In 1967, Ferguson scored a record
At that time, the record transfer fee between Scottish clubs was 650,000 pounds, and he was transferred to Glasgow Rangers, but no one could have predicted that the most painful days of Ferguson's career would begin.
In Ferguson's autobiography "The Coaching Life", he mentioned that when he first stepped into Rangers' Ibrox Stadium, the sneakers he was holding were thrown into the trash can. This was the biggest humiliation he encountered in his playing career.
.
As we all know, Rangers fans believe in Protestantism, while Celtic fans believe in Catholicism. The two are incompatible with each other. Rangers have never used Catholic players, but Ferguson’s wife, Ms. Katie, believes in Catholicism. This makes the club
He has a great opinion.[
Although Ferguson tried his best and played for Rangers in two seasons, he scored 25 goals in 41 games for the team in the league and 44 goals in 57 games in all competitions. This data is actually quite good, but
Many people have always regarded him as a thorn in their side.
Ferguson was also kicked by angry Rangers fans after a loss.
In the 1969 Scottish Cup final, Glasgow Rangers lost 0-4 to Celtic. Ferguson became the scapegoat. After the game, he angrily threw away the silver medal.
There is no doubt that this place can no longer stay. Nottingham Forest wanted to sign Ferguson at the time, but Ferguson listened to his wife's advice and switched to Falkirk in October of that year, where the 27-year-old Ferguson got a player and coach.

After playing 95 games for the team and scoring 36 goals, Prentiss dismissed Ferguson as coach after taking office. The latter responded by switching to Ayr United in 1973. In 1974, Ferguson, who was not yet 33 years old,

In June 1974, Ferguson served as the coach of East Stirlingshire. The part-time job paid a weekly salary of 40 pounds. Ferguson coached the team to a winning rate of 53%. That summer was an extremely sad summer for Manchester United, because the Red Devils had just

In November 1986, Manchester United fired Atkinson, and Ferguson finally agreed to the Red Devils' invitation to coach Manchester United. Since then, the entire Europe has witnessed the release of an epic blockbuster.
At that time, Manchester United ranked 21st and was on the verge of relegation from the bottom two in the league. With Ferguson's efforts, Manchester United finally ended that season in 11th place. In his first full season as coach of Manchester United, Ferguson led the team.
Won 2nd place with 9 points
Behind the championship team Liverpool. In the summer of 1988, Ferguson bought Mark Hughes back from Barcelona. Just when Ferguson was preparing to make a big splash in the 1988-89 season, God played a joke on him again. That season, Manchester United finally ranked only
No. 11.
In the 1989-90 season, Manchester United started well, defeating the defending champion Arsenal 4-1, but then suffered a 1-5 defeat to the local rival Manchester City, which greatly damaged the team's morale. Fans displayed banners at Old Trafford, "Give
I've had you for three years and you're still trash. Ferguson, get out." Reporters and team reporters were also urging Ferguson to resign. Later, Ferguson described December 1989 as the darkest time in his coaching career.
With seven games without a win, Manchester United were drawn against Nottingham Forest in the third round of the FA Cup.
At that time, the Forest team was in excellent condition. Many people analyzed that Ferguson would be sacked if he lost the game. However, Manchester United defeated the Forest team led by the legendary coach Clough 1-0 in the away game. The morale of Manchester United was greatly improved and they advanced to the next round.
The final, and defeated Crystal Palace 1-0 in the final rematch to win the championship. From then on,
No one mentioned dismissal anymore. In the 1990-91 season, although Manchester United ended up ranked 6th in the league, they successfully reached the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup and defeated that season's 2-1 in the final.
Barcelona, the La Liga champions and known as the Dream Team, is also Giggs’ debut season.
Since then, Ferguson has brought championships to Manchester United almost every season.
In the 1991-92 season, Ferguson led Manchester United to win the League Cup and European Super Cup, but lost to Leeds United in the league title battle.
In the 1992-93 season, Ferguson finally led Manchester United to win the Premier League championship for the first time. Cantona, who joined in the middle of the season, played a decisive role. This was also Manchester United's first league championship in 26 years; in the 93-94 season, Roy Keane
The joining of the Red Devils gave the Red Devils even more power. Manchester United led the way from the beginning to the end of the season and finally successfully defended the title. In the FA Cup final, Manchester United defeated 4
-0 victory over Chelsea, Ferguson led Manchester United to complete the Double Championship for the first time; in the 1994-95 season, due to Cantona kicking the Crystal Palace fans and being suspended for 8 months, Manchester United struggled this season. After a season in which all four major players were defeated, Ferguson decided to rebuild.
In the summer of 1995, Ferguson purged Mark Hughes, Paul Ince and Kanchelski, which was criticized by the media.
After losing to Villa 1-3 in the first round of the league in the 1995-96 season, bb guest Alan Hansen made the famous conclusion that "you can't win anything with children", but Ferguson remained unmoved and did not add new players.
Reinforcements, but reuse Scholes, Beckham, Neville
Young talents of the 1992 golden generation such as the Er brothers and Bart led the team to once again achieve the Premier League and FA Cup double crown, proving that their decision to purge veterans was correct; in the 1996-97 season, after signing Solskjaer, Manchester United
His strength has increased and decreased, and he successfully defended his title again;
In the 1997-98 season, although Manchester United introduced Sheringham and Borg, the arrival of Wenger allowed Arsenal to find a winning formula. This season, Manchester United ended up with nothing in the four majors; after this season with nothing in the four majors, Ferguson spent 30 million in the summer of 1998.
The purchase of Dwight Yorke, Stam and Bloomqvist for 100 million pounds greatly increased their strength. In the 1998-99 season, they finally won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League, achieving the first triple in the history of the club.
In the same year, Ferguson was awarded a knighthood.
After that, Manchester United not only won the 1999 Toyota Cup championship, but also won the Premier League championship in the 1999-00 and 2000-01 seasons, achieving three consecutive Premier League championships; in the 2001-02 season, Manchester United once again lost all four majors.
Ferguson considers himself
His retirement announcement affected the team's combat effectiveness. He changed his retirement plan and renewed his contract for three years. In the 02-03 season, Manchester United regained the Premier League championship; in the 03-04 season, this was the best season for Arsenal.
But Manchester United still won the FA Cup
; In the 04-05 season, Manchester United once again lost all four majors. After enduring for half a year, the disappointed Ferguson chose to purge captain Roy Keane from the team; in the 05-06 season, Manchester United only won one League Cup championship; in the 06-07 season
Beginning, Manchester United's second implementation
They won three consecutive Premier League titles, including the third Champions League title in the club's history in the 2007-08 season. Last season, Manchester United once again replicated the glory of the triple crown. This season, Ferguson once again led the unpopular Manchester United.
Chelsea regained the league title.
Everyone who cares about Manchester United knows how difficult it is for the Red Devils to win the league title this season.
Manchester United had its worst start to the season in recent years. In the first 7 league games, Manchester United had only 3 wins and 4 draws, while Chelsea had 6 wins and 1 loss in the same period. Manchester United was once 5 points behind its opponents.
Moreover, the staff shortage was also a problem that Sir Alex Ferguson urgently needed to solve at that time.
At the beginning of the season, Valencia broke his leg and was out for half a year, but Nani became very popular this season and has grown into a top-notch winger in Europe; due to the sequelae of the World Cup, top star Rooney was in extremely poor form in the first half of the season.
In the first 14 league games, he only scored 2 goals, one of which was a penalty kick.
Rooney continued to be sluggish in the early part of the season, but it was Li Yu who helped Manchester United stay competitive with magical goals one after another!
Everyone knows that Manchester United's central midfielder position is very weak, but the veteran Ryan Giggs' guest appearance as a central midfielder has an unexpectedly good effect... Ferguson's masterful deployment allows the Manchester United machine to always operate at a high speed without any accidents.
Any questions. After winning the championship one round ahead of schedule, Ferguson said that this was a great day for Manchester United people. What he said 25 years ago, "The most important thing in life is to knock down fucking Liverpool" finally came true today.
Ferguson once said, "Wenger and I are both dinosaurs," but last year he surpassed the fossil-level Sir Busby.
On December 19 last year, Sir Alex Ferguson surpassed Sir Matt Busby and became the longest-serving coach in the history of Manchester United with 8,811 days in office. The talented Busby began coaching Manchester United at the age of 35.
Ferguson was already 44 years old when he came to Manchester United.
However, Sir Busby retired at the age of 62, and Ferguson will be 70 years old on December 31 this year, but he can't stick to the front line. The old man often joked, "Retirement is a matter for young people. I am too old.
It’s time to retire.”
During Busby's more than 20 years in office, he won 5 league championships, 2 FA Cups, 1 Champions League and 5 Community Shields for Manchester United, and 13 championships of various sizes; while Ferguson coached Manchester United for 24 years.
In a long period of time, he led the Red Devils to win 13 league titles, 6 FA Cups, 5 League Cups, 10 Community Shields, 3
1 Champions League, 1 European Cup Winners' Cup, 1 Toyota Cup, 1 Club World Cup, 1 European Super Cup, 36 championships of various sizes, not counting the 10 championships he won in Aberdeen.
When you go to Busby, you have to mention the Busby Babies; when it comes to Ferguson, you have to mention the 92 golden generation... The two have a very good relationship, and they are both teachers and friends.
Not only did Busby fully delegate power to Ferguson and never interfere with any of Ferguson's personnel arrangements, but he also said to Ferguson when he was troubled, "Why do you want to read football news in those newspapers? I never do."
Look, don’t look at it either.”
Ince, Cantona, Beckham, Van Nistelrooy, Roy Keane, and Ronaldo are all gone, but Manchester United is still the same Manchester United and will still win championships season after season.
Ferguson once said, "The most important person at Manchester United is always the head coach. If anyone pisses me off, he or she is doomed." Isn't this imperial domineering!? There is no doubt that if Busby is Manchester United,
If you say the founder of a great dynasty, then Ferguson is the monarch of the Manchester United dynasty. He won the UEFA Coach of the Year twice, the Champions League Coach of the Year once, and the Premier League 1
The best coach of 0 years, the Premier League coach of the year 9 times, the "World Football" magazine football coach of the year 4 times, entered the English Football Hall of Fame in 2002, the best coach of the 10 years of the English Coaches Association, bb sports figure
Lifetime Achievement Award... Ferguson has received countless awards. He has received all the honors a football club coach can receive.
You don't have to like him, but you can't despise his achievements.
Please pay tribute to Sir Alex Ferguson! Manchester United’s truly unique and unique master!
