283. Insidious bastard
"From the season to now, Manchester City has won four consecutive victories. It seems that they are in good shape. How do you evaluate their performance in the new season?!" The reporter asked Moyes again.
Moyes accidentally twitched his face, "As you said, they have won four consecutive games, got 12 points, and now they are the first in the standings. Yes, they are in good shape! They are also very strong! We have to put in 200% of our efforts to defeat them when we go to the Etihad Stadium this time!"
"Will this cause you a lot of trouble?"
"Yes, his absence does make us a little trouble, but the game is near, and we can't give up this game because of his injury. I think we can play this game well without him!"
"How do you think Rooney is doing?!"
"He is great, he is a superstar and is taking on his own responsibilities on the team! I hope he will also perform well in the next derby!"
"Bang!" Ferguson turned off the TV and took the coffee handed over by his old wife Luci.
"Alex, you should enjoy your retirement life now. You pay too much attention to the team! They didn't give you a penny! Why don't you care about Darren, you should guide Darren more!" Luci pretended to be dissatisfied.
She knew very well that even though Ferguson had retired from the position of Manchester United coach, it was impossible to give up Manchester United completely. For many years, Ferguson was Manchester United and Manchester United was Ferguson. How could he change his habits so easily?!
"Darren?! Didn't he do a good job?" Ferguson took a sip of coffee and didn't raise his head.
As the saying goes, a dragon gives birth to a dragon and a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a son born to a mouse can dig holes!
This is not very exciting to Ferguson. Ferguson's player era was actually very good in that era, not to mention his coaching career, the famous Manchester United godfather.
But his two sons, well, that's not much.
Darren Ferguson is currently coaching at Peterborough United. He met Wen Sheng in the English Championship when he coached at Preston. The relationship between the two is still very good.
Darren Ferguson's coaching level is indeed limited, and it is not too lukewarm, so Lucie has this saying.
Ferguson is too lazy to care about his son now. Everyone has their own opportunities. Darren is at his level. He can't care too much about a father. His son should do it himself.
"I think you care so much about the team, so let's just go to the scene tomorrow?" Lucy asked.
"No! I feel like I might lose this game!" Ferguson said.
"Then you should go to the scene. Maybe you are there, the young men can work harder!" Lucy felt that Sir Alex could not let go of Manchester United.
"I'll be at home tomorrow, I can watch it on TV. If I go to the live team, I can't play well, so I'm also angry! Be safe at home!"
"You are so unconfident?!"
"Ah, yes, I don't have much confidence! They are getting stronger and stronger. Last season, my team and I have worked very hard, but we still can't catch up with them. Look at the current public opinion environment and all kinds of internal teams are not good for David. I think they can win this game unless we have the luck of being against the will!"
.........
Ferguson still didn't come to Etihad Stadium.
However, the Etihad Stadium was very lively on this day. Not only were there many senior executives of Manchester City, but also many senior executives of Manchester United, and even the national team coach Huo Taigong also came to the scene.
Telecom Sports invited two players who had played for Manchester City, David James and McManaman, to broadcast live. The two commentators came to the Etihad Stadium before the game and interviewed many fans outside the stadium.
Manchester City fans obviously have great confidence in the team winning this game. If you have a good appetite, you will also be raised step by step. Manchester City fans' expectations for the team are much higher than last season.
"We will win 2:0! De Bruyne will score, and Silva will score!"
"I think we'll beat them 7-0!"
"I think we will beat them 1:0!"
......
In the score prediction, no one would say that Manchester City would lose, and there was not even a draw that could be a draw, which shows how much information about Manchester City fans are.
At this moment, Moyes was silently watching the players prepare for the game in the visiting team's locker room. He wanted to say something to the players, but in the end he couldn't find anything to say. He felt that he couldn't say a few words of motivation. His feet were a little weak and his fingers were a little stiff.
The players were not nervous. For them, they had experienced such a battle without the first time. Yes, the Derby was not the same as other games, but sometimes it seemed that it was no different. They said that what they needed to do was to win the game.
Moyes didn't know what the players were thinking, nor did he have outstanding eloquence, so he didn't say anything, and the players walked out of the locker room to the fighting arena.
Manchester United ranked 4231 in the game: goalkeeper De Gea; defenders Smarin, Ferdinand, Vidic, and Evra; midfielder Carrick and Fellaini partner; attacking midfielder Valencia, Rooney, Ashley Young, and Verbeck broke through and single forward.
When he arrived at the player channel, Moyes saw Dzeko and Aguero appear in the starting lineup at the same time. He realized that Ferguson became a masterpiece. Wen Sheng, the bastard, really deceived everyone. The list he reported was not like this. Today, Manchester City is very likely to be 442.
"Sneaky guy!" Moyes muttered, suddenly losing confidence in the game.
The goalkeeper is still in Navas, the defense is Sabaleta, Van Dijk and Kompani, Hills partnered, the midfield midfielder Kroos and Wanyama, Silva and De Bruyne are divided between the two wings, and Dzeko and Aguero are naturally in the forward line.
Of course, Moyes couldn't figure out why Wensheng abandoned the usual well-functioning 4231 system and instead used 442?!
"You are all forcing this!" Wen Sheng wanted to say.
Before the game, Wensheng and the coaching staff were discussing the situation of Manchester United. Moyes was afraid of Wensheng, and Wensheng was also worried. For example, the combination of Ferdinand and Vidic was not covered by Manchester United's defense line, so Wensheng simply pulled one of the midfield and lined up two strikers to fight Ferdinand and Vidic.
On the side of the court, in front of the media spotlight, the two head coaches of Moyes and Wen Sheng finally met, and the two smiled in front of the camera with a tacit understanding.
"Good luck, David!" Wensheng in front of him was very graceful.
"I wish you good luck too!" Moyes squeezed out a not-so-looking smile.
Wensheng didn't say anything else, so Moyes turned around and left. Manchester City fans sang team songs. The noisy environment on the scene made Moyes feel unforgettably bad.
Chapter completed!
