281. Moyes
In the suburbs of Manchester, Sir Ferguson received the visiting Manchester United coach Moyes at his home.
Since retiring from Manchester United, Sir Ferguson's life has improved a lot. Although he still goes to Old Trafford to watch football at home, he is not the head coach after all, so there is no need to worry about Manchester United's affairs too much, let alone he is too concerned that his fellow villager Moyes is at a loss.
The reason why Manchester United chose Moyes as head coach is Ferguson's idea. Originally, this article Sheng was born out of nowhere. Ferguson intended to let Wen Sheng take over. He did not expect that Wen Sheng didn't even say hello and went directly to his arch-rival Manchester City to be the head coach. In desperation, Ferguson had to return to the old tune and choose his fellow villager Moyes.
Manchester United is a world-class club, and its reputation is at the level of King Saren. Moyes doesn’t want anything. It’s not Ferguson who can be the head coach. Will Manchester United invite him?!
Without Ferguson, Manchester United would definitely not choose Moyes!
This is not a hypothesis, but a certain fact.
After taking office, Moyes encountered many difficulties. First, the first defense line was aging. Ferdinand was 35 years old, Vidic was 32 years old, and he was still injured. Ferguson bought Evans, Smalling, and Phil Jones in those years. Secondly, he was in the midfield. Scholes retired and Giggs was about to retreat. Manchester United snatched a summer midfielder, and Thiago and Cross, but none of them succeeded. He finally snatched his old team to his team at the end of the moment. The midfield still lacked control and creativity. The third problem was the problem that Ferguson stayed. Japanese player Shinji Kagawa is capable, but Ferguson did not find his position because Rooney often played in the front midfielder, which resulted in Shinji Kagawa having no position and could only go to the wing, which could not exert the skills of Shinji Kagawa.
Needless to say, other rebellions such as the players, Rooney is with Chelsea and Mourinho all day long, and Manchester United forced Rooney to stay.
In short, Moyes' life at Manchester United is actually not easy. Manchester United played four games in the new season, with two wins, one draw and one loss. This result is barely reasonable, but experts can no longer suppress the gap between Manchester United under Moyes and Manchester United under Ferguson. Anyway, Moyes has also received a lot of criticism.
Fortunately, Manchester United beat Leverkusen 4-2 away in this round of the Champions League, which slapped many experts in the face.
However, Moyes was feeling up and down as the derby came.
For Wensheng today and Manchester City today, it is no big deal to lose to Manchester United or draw Manchester United. After all, Wensheng has a very strong control over the team.
But for Moyes, the game is very important.
It is no secret that Ferguson also likes Wensheng in English football. Moyes hopes to win this derby and proves that he is not worse than Wensheng. Think about it, I am the first time I played in Manchester City derby. When Wensheng is in charge of the team, Geng Dun, can I win him? Doesn’t this mean I am still OK?! Sir Ferguson recommends me because I am a Scotsman!
Secondly, in Moyes' view, this game is at a critical period. The last league loss to Liverpool made him lose face. Fortunately, he scored Leverkusen in the Champions League in time to stop the rumors and various internal emotions. Moyes hopes to use this derby to establish his positive image in the Manchester United team and further implement his team's authority. If he loses, it's hard to say. The group of Manchester United's men don't know how to evaluate him in private. It's hard to say whether he can have a happy life in Manchester United next.
To be honest, when I was at Everton, Moyes was not afraid of Wensheng, but since he sat in the position of Manchester United head coach, Moyes felt that he had begun to fear Wensheng like never before.
I was extremely afraid of the consequences of losing this game.
Don't always blame him. If any famous coach is changed, as long as it is not Ferguson, I am afraid that if I sit in the position of Manchester United head coach, I will be under great pressure.
In this case, Moyes took the time to visit Ferguson in a special way. One was to contact each other, and the other was to ask for advice.
"They are in good shape now. I watched the last Champions League, and the media almost blew them up!" Moyes held coffee and started chatting with Sir Ferguson in the study.
"Just listen to the media's words, don't take them seriously. Besides, he was hyped by those Englishmen as a genius coach. Hehe, English football has finally made such a comedy. Who wouldn't he swear?!" Ferguson smiled, "I read the newspaper this morning, and Daniel's little bastard complained to the media about what we have to rest one more day than them. Don't respond to this matter, don't say anything!"
"Bitch! That little bastard is very powerful! The main reason is that he is not very shameless. He slapped him in the face and he doesn't care. If you can't learn, don't learn it! Look, this season with him and Jose, it's lively!"
Moyes nodded, he still agreed with this. Wensheng and Mourinho are both champion coaches and have the confidence to talk. Wensheng is still young. He said it wrong and said too much. Everyone said that he was impulsive, but this just treats him as a young coach, as if he allowed him to make mistakes.
Moyes doesn't have any outstanding coaching results, he has no confidence in anything he says, he is not very sad in talking, and he will definitely lose, so Ferguson means that you don't have to talk to his mother, just do your own.
Moyes adhered to this view until he was dismissed.
"How is the team preparing for the competition?! I haven't been to the training base for some days!" Ferguson asked.
"Alex, I hope you can come to the team often to check it out!" Moyes said sincerely. There are too many big names in the team, and he is a newcomer, which is really difficult to control. Ferguson's prestige can help him.
"I won't go! It's not good for you to go too much! I'll give you this stage, and after all, you will be the one who will direct everyone's performance!" Ferguson refused Moyes' invitation.
Moyes had to give up and casually talked about the team's preparations. "We are preparing for the game now. The victory in the Champions League in the middle of the week has given everyone a lot of confidence. I believe everyone will not lack fighting spirit when they go to the Etihad Stadium this time!"
"It's a good thing to be confident!" Ferguson was actually very satisfied with Moyes's performance during the coaching period, because he himself was a coach. He knew that new coaches would be difficult at Manchester United. Experts said that Moyes was not good enough, but Ferguson thought it was good. Moyes might be even better after a little more time.
