Roy Keane is one of Manchester United's greatest captains. He has played 11 seasons at Old Trafford and will be his 12th season. ≤,

In the past 12 seasons, he has countless brilliant moments. As Manchester United's most important defensive core, Roy has always been an important flagship figure.

Roy Keane is the embodiment of Manchester United's spirit. In the eyes of Red Devils fans, he is the best midfielder in the world and the unparalleled leader of Manchester United. In the eyes of his opponents, Keane can be called a "demon".

The Manchester United dynasty has stood firm since the 1990s, with Ferguson strategizing off the court, and Keane is the commander-in-chief on the court.

The greatest hero of the glory of Manchester United dynasty is coach Ferguson, but Roy Keane is definitely the top-ranked hero in the ranks. Ferguson once said that Keane is the most important player in Manchester United in the past 10 years.

But the intimate relationship between the two has ended, and now their relationship is considered tense.

One is Keane's competitive level. Since the world was a watershed in 2002, it has begun to decline. In addition, some things off the court have also affected many things. For example, in the fall of 2002, Keane's autobiography "I'm Not a Wicked Man" caused an uproar. Not only did he mock Irish coach McCarthy in the book, he also publicly admitted that he deliberately broke the calf of Manchester City player Haaland in the league, so he was sentenced to a heavy penalty of 150,000 pounds and five games banned by the FA.

This incident made Ferguson extremely dissatisfied.

At that time, Ferguson intended to train Keane as his successor, so there was no conflict. In addition, after Kerr replaced McCarthy as the head coach of the Irish team, Keane returned to the national team again, and his violent temper gradually subsided. He played the role of a professional role model in front of Rooney and Ronaldo.

Everything seems to be pretty good, but Manchester United has just been acquired. A lot of things have happened inside and outside the club, and the team itself is in a trough of alternating new and old. Recently, Keane has been extremely dissatisfied with the team's condition. He always scolds his teammates for not being serious in training - this should have been Ferguson's job.

Keane has played for 12 years in the team and is an old captain and a legendary star. He is still very majestic in the team. In addition, he is born with a violent temper. Naturally, he will not keep it in his heart when he encounters dissatisfaction. So Ferguson feels that his majesty is being provoked.

The key is that he can't scold Keane at a glance like he was treating other players.

This is the root of Ferguson's dissatisfaction with Keane.

Now when the team has to stand up and take responsibility, Ferguson thought of Keane, not to say that he is "revengeful of private revenge". In fact, Keane is definitely responsible at the moment of the game. As the captain and defensive pillar, he was unable to suppress the opponent's midfielder at all. Morris, the opponent's core, was almost playing at will. Another time, he directly broke through Keane, and that conceded a goal and Keane was very related to being broken.

Keane's defensive defeat is even more serious than Ronaldo's failure to retreat, after all, he is a defensive midfielder. Ronaldo is a full-time forward who is good at attacking.

In addition, Keane is also the best candidate to take responsibility.

He is 34 years old and is almost 35 years old. No matter how brave he is, he is about to retire. What's more, Keane's contract renewal with Manchester United has not been agreed in the summer. He will become a free agent tomorrow in May. Obviously, Keane will choose to retire at that time, although he himself thinks he can play for another year.

Thinking of this, Ferguson's eyes became a little complicated.

In any case, Keane has been with him for more than ten years, and the relationship between the two cannot disappear with a little conflict, but this is professional football, and this is reality. For the entire Manchester United team, there must be someone to sacrifice some. With Keane's fame and age, even if he bears some responsibilities, it will have no impact on him. So Ferguson can only say sorry to Keane in his heart.

Manchester United were soon ready to make adjustments. Alan Smith was already warming up on the sidelines, and it seemed that he was preparing to play.

When Alan Smith saw him warm up, many people were speculating who he was replacing. Alan Smith could be used as a striker, and the most likely replacement was Wayne Rooney, but it was not entirely certain, because Alan Smith could also be used as a midfielder.

Some commentators also commented that this is likely to be a way for Manchester United to play. Alan Smith is an offensive player. Now in this situation, the offensive player must be replaced with a defensive player, so he must be replaced with a defensive player.

Wan Sheng also saw what happened on Manchester United's bench.

He knew Manchester United was going to make adjustments.

No matter what adjustments they make, the situation may change because of this, and the team must have the advantage now, so Wan Sheng took advantage of the opportunity to come to the sidelines and shouted on the court, "Don't pay attention to them, hurry up and attack! We still need to score goals!"

Now on the court, some players are out of their minds.

After leading the score 3:0, anyone knew that Manchester United had almost no chance. As long as the game ended, Manchester City would win the derby battle, so even Manchester City players were a little absent-minded. When they saw someone warming up on the Manchester United bench, they all glanced over there. Like the commentators and media who were paying attention to the game, they also guessed who Alan Smith was going to replace.

Wan Sheng's shouts brought them back to their senses.

They realized that the team really has a suppressive advantage now, so when Manchester United kicked off, they immediately launched an active fight. Finally, one minute later, Scholes' pass was intercepted, Roy Keane's counter-robbery failed to make a contribution, and Joey Barton kicked the frontcourt with one kick.

Manchester United is a little anxious to score, and this wave of offensive plays very high.

When the football flew to the front court, Manchester United immediately realized the danger, especially when the football reached Anelka's feet!

Even though Anelka did not perform well last season, few Manchester United players dare to say that they are stronger than Anelka, because Anelka is a big star, but has just been a little devastated in the past two years. In fact, the football circle has a very high evaluation of Anelka's ability. In the summer, the clubs that want to win Anelka in the future have also quoted around 8 million pounds.

How high can a striker who has not performed well for more than a year be worth? You can imagine how optimistic Anelka's strength is!

No one in Manchester United dares to underestimate Anelka, especially at this urgent moment!

But Manchester City's counterattack has been reactionary. Anelka lay down with the ball and broke forward ten meters in a few steps. George Woodgate had to say worriedly for Manchester United goal, "Manchester City launches a counterattack! Anelka has been moving forward."

Manchester City fans felt very familiar with this counterattack.

When Keegan coached Manchester City, many games relied on the fast counterattack of frontcourt players to score goals. Anelka is the core player of the counterattack because he is fast enough, strong enough, and has excellent skills. He is the best player in Manchester City's frontcourt. Although his performance last season was average, the public believes that it was caused by the conflict between Anelka and head coach Keegan.

So now seeing Anelka dribbling against the ball, Manchester City fans felt a familiar feeling, so their cheers became even more intense.

Facing this counterattack, Manchester United was very panicked, and their defense line was in chaos at the first time.

Just now, they all thought that they would chase the goal first no matter what. Even if there is no hope of winning the game, this is a Manchester derby and it is a game that must not be given up. They must fight to the end, so they must try their best to score the goal. They didn't even think about how the defense was. In their subconscious, Manchester City just scored the goal, how could it be that goal again so quickly?

But the situation cannot be thought about, Manchester City's counterattack has arrived!

They were just stunned for a moment, and no one noticed. Manchester City had already attacked the goal!

Although it was a quick counterattack, Manchester City's overall tactics did not change, and the players still consciously took the stance of attacking and defending. No player fell behind because he certainly could not help the attack. Manchester City's overall formation quickly moved forward with Anelka's dribbling. When Anelka dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area, the wing forwards Musampa and Andy Cole had already followed from both sides.

Rio Ferdinand chased Anelka.

After all, Anelka was dribbling the ball, so he couldn't throw Ferdinand away with his speed, so he glanced at the left and right and made a pass to the left. Ferdinand was deceived and shook his body. Anelka took the opportunity to get rid of the ball from the right, but Ferdinand was not so easy to get rid of. Anelka did not succeed directly. He only gained the space to dribble the ball from the right. He took the opportunity to scan the goal, and kept kicking the ball directly.

The shot was a bit hasty, and goalkeeper Van der Sar saved the ball.

Before Manchester City fans could make a disappointed voice, they saw Andy Cole having followed, rushed to the goal and shot at the football.

"Andy Cole!!!"

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!”

George Woodgate took a deep breath and waited for this moment. When he saw Andy Cole send the ball to Manchester United goal again, he roared out the anger he had held in his chest!

This game is really amazing!

"4:0! 4:0! I want to describe it as crazy! The score is crazy! The game is crazy! Manchester City people are simply crazy! They led the home team Manchester United 4:0 at Old Trafford Stadium, and completely gained an overwhelming advantage in this focus battle in the same city derby!"

"Not only that, former Manchester United star Andy Cole, who just signed the team in the summer, also scored twice and gave his old club two shells!"

"Maybe Sir Ferguson will regret why he gave up on Andy Cole's condition. If he had been at Manchester United, he would probably be able to maintain his condition until now. This is simply crazy!"

When everyone rushed out of the Manchester City coach's bench, they cheered clearly when they saw Andy Cole's goal.

The same is true for Wansheng.

He just reminded the players to play seriously and not to slacke in just taking three goals, but he didn't expect the team to score a goal, even before Manchester United made adjustments - until now Alan Smith is still standing on the sidelines waiting to play.

Of course, now he can play.

But no one cares anymore. Even Manchester United raised the substitution card to signal Alan Smith to replace Roy Keane, and only the commentator said by the way, "Smith replaced Captain Keane" and then disappeared.

Everyone's focus is on Manchester City's goals.

Manchester City people were excited, and Wan Sheng was also excited. He shouted at Andy Cole, who was venting wildly on the sidelines, "Celebrate it all! Cole! The time now belongs to you!"

Many Manchester United players were silent when they saw Kerr's excitement. They did not urge the referee to start the game again. One reason was that there was no hope of winning, and the other was that Andy Kerr was the one who scored the goal.

For example, Wayne Rooney, Ronaldo, Alan Smith, these young players who only entered Manchester United after 2003 definitely don't know Andy Cole. At most, they know that Cole used to play for Manchester United, but Giggs, Scholes, Roy Keane, Gary Neville and others are all very familiar with Cole. They have been teammates for several years.

When Cole became the official striker of Manchester United, they were just substitutes from the youth team. They were all very immature in that era, and Cole was also their "senior".

Back then, Kerr was dominating at Old Trafford, and many of them were envious. But now history seems to be repeated, Kerr is still dominating at Old Trafford. The only difference is that Kerr represents Manchester United's arch-rival Manchester City.

Many Manchester United players are very complicated, and they also have to sigh that Andy Cole is really strong.

As many commentators said, Ferguson felt really complicated when he saw Andy Cole's goal, but this feeling was not regret or anything. In the old Jazz's dictionary, there was never the word "regret". He was just surprised by Andy Cole's condition, and at the same time he felt incredible about Manchester City's overall performance.

4:0!

At 3:0 just now, he knew that the team must have lost, but he didn't expect that Manchester City could score a goal when Alan Smith warmed up!

Is this the same Manchester City as before?

Ferguson looked at the Manchester City coaching house. The young Chinese figure was a little complicated, and he was also very angry.

Although he is old, he will not admit defeat!

Manchester United is now in a period of transition from old to new, and the club has just changed its boss, and the results in the turbulent period are definitely not guaranteed, but this does not mean that he is willing to be such a result, especially after renewing the contract with the club.

Ferguson had already had a plan in his mind.

This season will definitely be difficult, but we must try our best to achieve good results no matter what. Next season, with the growth of younger generations such as Alan Smith, Rooney, Ronaldo, Fletcher, etc., and after removing some veterans from the team and adding some lineups, the transition between the old and the old has been completed. Then it will be the time for Manchester United to show its strength, and now it is time to start to transform the team.
Chapter completed!
