At the post-match press conference at the Etihad Stadium, Ferguson did not show the anger and anger expected by the outside world after losing to Manchester City 0-1. Instead, he gave people a feeling of accepting it calmly.
The Scottish coach believes that Manchester City's strong rise is inevitable, and all Premier League teams aiming to win the league championship must be fully mentally prepared and have plans for this.
"From now on, the competition in the Premier League will be more intense than ever before, because we have ushered in a team that is also capable of challenging for the league championship, and that is Manchester City. They are currently at the top of the standings and deserve it.
"
Ferguson believes that his team's 1-0 away defeat to Manchester City is not something unacceptable.
"In fact, you have to see that Chelsea suffered a disastrous defeat here, and Arsenal also suffered a misfortune. Although the final game was a draw, it was worse than a defeat. They were even worse than the whole game.
Even though the opponent had one more player, they still failed to score Manchester City's goal, which is unacceptable to any team."
Ferguson was launching a map cannon, and the media reporters at the scene were very excited.
Damn, I haven’t seen the hair dryer start up in a long time!
Once Ferguson starts talking, it will definitely be a festival for the British media!
Therefore, all the media reporters at the scene were like primary school students, sitting upright in their seats, holding pens and notebooks, listening attentively to the next bombardment of the old Scottish red-nosed man.
Sure enough, Ferguson knew very well what these media reporters were thinking. To a certain extent, he and these media reporters were using each other. He needed to use the media to cause controversy to divert conflicts, and the media needed to use Ferguson's help.
Talk loudly to attract attention and boost sales.
Ferguson directly blasted several other competitors. Anyway, the meaning is the same: Manchester United only lost one goal at the Etihad Stadium, which is actually very impressive.
What media reporters are actually concerned about is not how many goals Manchester United loses and how many goals they win, but Ferguson's bombardment of his competitors themselves.
When this news came out, it became the biggest concern.
In contrast, Ferguson's attitude towards his local rival Manchester City, who won tonight, is even more interesting.
He always praises Manchester City.
Of course, this is not surprising.
If Ferguson wants to say that he is the best player in Manchester United, he can only praise Manchester City. On the other hand, if he blindly belittles Manchester City, what does it matter if Manchester United loses to Manchester City?
Therefore, after losing the game, Ferguson could only praise Manchester City and then tell the Manchester United players that they were actually very good. In other words, it was not that Manchester United was too weak, but that Manchester City was too strong.
So why is Manchester City so strong?
Because they have a sotong!
"I knew Su Dong many, many years ago, when he was still a newcomer. I thought at that time that this kid had great potential, but I never imagined that he would be able to achieve what he has achieved today.
, Otherwise, I will definitely bring him to Manchester United even if I try to sell the iron."
Ferguson admitted that Manchester United actually had the opportunity to sign Su Dong, but due to some matters in the team, they hesitated in the transfer. "I have always felt that this would be a very regrettable thing."
Ferguson is very positive about Su Dong's achievements. He believes that Su Dong will create a new era for him in the Premier League and even have the opportunity to lead Manchester City to success.
"There is no doubt that he is a born king. No matter which team or league he goes to, he can bring victory and championship to the team. Just like this season in Manchester City, he helped Manchester City successively
Defeating so many powerful enemies is incredible, but he did it."
But in the end, Ferguson believed that it would be unrealistic for Manchester City to win the Premier League simply by relying on Su Dong, because the competition in the Premier League is very fierce, and it is not possible for one player alone to win the entire Premier League.
of the season.
"I think if Manchester City wants to win the championship, they need to do more."
…
Although Ferguson was full of praise for Su Dong and Manchester City at the post-match press conference, Su Dong, as the captain of the team, participated in the Manchester Derby for the first time. When interviewed by the media after the game, he did not say anything to the old Scottish man.
Show mercy.
"Do we still need to do more?" When the media repeated Ferguson's words at the post-match press conference to Su Dong, he smiled and expressed his approval, "I think what he said is absolutely right. We do still need to do more.
We have more potential, and we still have a lot of potential that we haven’t tapped into yet, which is very important for our next games.”
Is Su Dong identifying with Ferguson?
Just when the media was stunned, Su Dong quickly changed the subject.
"Of course, I think Manchester United still need to do much more than us, because after this round of games, they are already nine points behind us. If they want to catch up with this gap, they have to work harder!"
The media reporters were immediately overjoyed.
Grab the bamboo shoots!
You took all the bamboo shoots from the European Alps and brought them to Great Britain!
Isn't this a clear dig at Ferguson and his Manchester United?
Reporters from the media immediately chased Su Dongwen, hoping that he could say more and make more explosive revelations. It would be better to directly criticize Ferguson and quarrel with the old Scottish man with a red nose, that would be fun.
But Su Dong just gave up when things got better and had no intention of competing with Ferguson.
Many media reporters and fans don't know that Su Dong and Ferguson have a good personal relationship. As early as that year, Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney had a falling out during the World Cup. When they were about to leave Manchester United, they hid in Su Dong's villa.
, and the meeting where Ferguson persuaded Ronnie to change his mind was arranged by Su Dong.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Since then, the relationship between Ferguson and Su Dong has been established, and Su Dong also respects Ferguson very much.
Of course, this does not prevent Su Dong from "bombarding" Ferguson in the media at all.
There is no other way, both of them are their own masters.
…
Manchester City defeated Manchester United 1-0 at home.
This news triggered a strong reaction from the British media after the game.
According to the Daily Telegraph's remarks before the game, Manchester United is the last bastion of the Premier League's traditional strong teams.
But unfortunately, this fortress was completely captured by Manchester City during the Manchester Derby.
The Guardian analyzed after the game that this game would actually be more fair if it was zero-to-zero.
"At least before Su Dong came on as a substitute, the two teams were evenly matched, and Manchester United even had a slight upper hand. They threatened several counterattacks, but after Su Dong came on as a substitute, he completely changed the situation on the field.
"
The Guardian analyzed that Su Dong once again proved his worth to everyone.
"He once again proved that Manchester City with Su Dong is the real leader of the Premier League. Without Su Dong, Manchester City can only strive to break into the top four in the league, but now, they are at the top of the standings."
…
The Daily Mail even used "King of Manchester City" as its front page headline and published a photo of Su Dong's shot, believing that Su Dong's shot opened the way for Manchester City to secure the league leadership.
"After tonight, the sky over Manchester will turn sky blue!"
The Daily Mail still gave high praise to Manchester City's victory, especially the team's defense throughout the game, which completely froze Manchester United's offensive combination, even if Ferguson made adjustments and let Nani play
Afterwards, there was still no improvement.
"The central defender combination of Pepe and Kompany has become the most unbreakable defensive combination in the Premier League this season."
"If Sudong is responsible for the offense in the frontcourt, David Silva, Toni Kroos and Busquets are responsible for strategizing in the midfield, then Pepe and Kompany are impregnable in the defense and together form the core of this team.
This season, Manchester City has helped Manchester City defeat strong opponents and firmly occupy the top spot in the Premier League."
The Daily Mail believes that after defeating Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United, Manchester City, the leader, has a very high gold content. It can even be said that it has established a certain lead.
.
However, the Daily Mail reporter also agreed with what Ferguson said at the post-match press conference that it is too early for Manchester City to win the championship because the real test of the Premier League always occurs during the Christmas and winter breaks.
schedule.
"Only if Manchester City can continue to maintain its lead after surviving the devilish schedule of Christmas and the winter break, can this team truly be qualified to compete for the Premier League championship. Otherwise, it will only be a temporary lead."
The Daily Mail stated that this is not their opinion, but a real situation that has been verified by the Premier League over the years, because there are always too many teams that perform very well before Christmas, but in winter
After the break, their rankings plummeted because they couldn't survive the test of Christmas and the winter break.
And this is also the traditional characteristic schedule of the Premier League.
When other leagues are on vacation, all players are staying at home, and wives and daughters are sleeping on the bed, the Premier League still has to continue playing in the ice and snow. This is the biggest test and challenge for professional players.
"Only after going through that hellish schedule can this team be considered a truly strong team!"
Everyone knows that the Premier League schedule has always been controversial.
Fans who like it believe that the Premier League is the league that professional players should conquer. The game style is full of passion and the schedule is full of tests; but fans who hate it believe that the Christmas and winter break schedules are very inhumane.
The pressure is really too great, both for the players and the team.
Even Ferguson and others believe that Premier League teams lack competitiveness in European competitions, and a very important reason is the Christmas and winter breaks.
Of course, no one can deny that from a business perspective, the Christmas schedule is indeed the biggest feature of the Premier League.
When other leagues ushered in the holiday break, the Premier League ushered in the most intensive schedule, giving fans around the world a sumptuous Christmas dinner. Who doesn't like this kind of league?
