Seeing the goal on the field, Ferguson subconsciously called out to Giggs.
Giggs stood up and took off his training jacket and asked in surprise, "Boss, do you want to make substitutions after just one ball?"
"There will be a make-up match for the Charity Shield next."
Ferguson said.
At this time, the FA was considering whether to arrange it during the season like Toyota Cup.
In addition, this transfer window is relatively busy, and they hope that both teams can make more signings to increase the value of this game, so the Charity Shield is scheduled after the summer window.
Whether it is the Charity Shield or the later Community Shield, it is no different from the X-A Super Cup in other leagues. They are both domestic league champions VS cup champions, but the names are more unique.
The UK has FA Cup and League Cup.
FA Cup champions can participate in the Charity Shield.
League Cup The gold content of the championship is a bit low. Even if one side is the double champion, the qualification will be postponed to the second place in the league.
In terms of competition format and time arrangement, it is still better than Toyota Cup and UEFA Super Cup.
Those two Intercontinental Cup games are scheduled during the season, and Super Cup even maintains two rounds, which will put a huge burden on the players on both sides.
The home and away game format is equivalent to playing an extra round of the Champions League.
This season Manchester United will compete for the championship in seven events: Premier League, Charity Shield, FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League, Toyota Cup and UEFA Super Cup.
Ferguson is still a little worried.
The team has enough players, and if we buy players, those young people won't have much chance.
That's why he chose to make almost no signings in the summer window.
No matter how many games there are, having Cantona, McClair, Andy Cole, Scholes, and other players who can play as forwards is enough. The same is probably true for other positions.
All-rounders such as Sharp, Scholes, Phillip·Neville, Butt, and Terry Cook can play at least three positions.
Cook is the young man behind the photo Scholes.
This batch of youth training at Manchester United is really good, even if they are almost in the first team and play in the small team as a rotation, it is enough.
As long as there are no large-scale injuries, the existing players are enough, and most people can get enough playing time.
Theatre of Dreams The cheers for this goal were not as good as during the previous warm-up period.
The free kick was too close to the goal.
The opponent is West Ham.
Dejan Lu It would be strange not to score a goal.
Manchester United fans are used to this kind of thing now.
No fuss over a goal at all.
Players from both sides also returned to the center circle again to prepare for kick-off.
Redknapp frowned and looked at the away fans' stands.
West Ham The boos from the fans were not meant for the opponent, which made him feel very bad.
These fans often only cause trouble for him.
Either he was questioning his son, or he was questioning his nephew.
Does being a coach mean that you have to kill your entire family?
Even when Bobby Moore visited Lampard's house and saw Frank·Lampard playing football, he felt that the kid had a future. Fans also felt that Lampard was able to stay on the team because of his connections.
West Ham kicks off again on the court.
Their return is very quick.
Bishop took the ball on the left and started to pass people on the court. Beckham grabbed the ball very quickly.
But he is clearly inexperienced.
Even though he played in the Champions League final, he was still deceived by Bishop with a not-so-smooth spike fake.
At the critical moment, Butt misjudged the direction of the opponent's breakthrough and was shot right through.
Redondo was about to cover up the defense when he saw Dejan Lu rushing over.
This immediately cheered up Bishop.
West Ham players are also pressing quickly to prepare for the response.
Beckham, who had just adjusted his center of gravity, reluctantly chose to run forward.
On the one hand, I think Dejan Lu can steal.
On the other hand, Dejan Lu couldn't steal him and it was useless to go back. There was still Butt.
Taking advantage of this moment to find a good position can help the team counterattack very well.
Dejan Lu pressed the center of gravity, Bishop took small steps.
Both of them chose the safest way.
But Dejan Lu obviously didn't have the patience to waste time with his opponent, and quickly stepped forward with his left foot.
Bishop subconsciously thought he was trying to steal the ball and quickly dribbled the ball laterally.
Unexpectedly, Dejan Lu immediately stretched out his right foot after standing firm on his left foot, and hooked the ball away from his feet like lightning. Bishop, who missed the ball, fell directly to the turf.
"Dejan!"
"Dejan!"
"Dejan!"
The cheers for this steal were even louder than the previous goal.
Dejan Lu was not affected in any way. After pulling horizontally, he immediately kicked sideways.
Bang——
The ball quickly rolled along the turf across the center line and in front of Beckham.
Beckham started from the center line and chased all the way for more than 10 meters. When he got behind the ball, he immediately pushed with his right foot without even picking up the ball.
Excellent passing skills were displayed at this time.
The ball bypassed the two defenders at the near point, then bypassed Julian Dicks in the middle and found McClair on the left side of the top of the arc.
McClair stopped the ball and moved his instep, allowing Dicks to miss easily. Then he kicked the ball sideways and the ball flew past the palm of the attacking Mickośko and went into the goal.
"Goal!!!"
"In just 4 minutes of the opening, Manchester United scored two goals. What surprised us even more was that Ferguson chose to replace Dejan with Giggs, which also created the fastest substitution speed for Premier League."
"However, Dejan's efficiency on the court has set the trend of the game in these 4 minutes, and it will not have much impact on the end of the game at this time."
Redknapp stared at everything happening on the field with his mouth open.
I just feel like his brain is not working well enough.
He worked as a coach at Bournemouth for 8 years before returning to West Ham as the team leader, and then became the coach.
But in recent years, he has paid more attention to England football.
West Ham has just been upgraded.
He had only heard the story of Dejan Lu before, but now that he saw it on the spot, it was more exaggerated than he knew.
Especially what makes Old Harry feel unfair.
He has also been in accidents.
In 1990, he and Bournemouth director Brian·Taylor went to Italy to see World Cup in a car accident. Everyone except him was killed, and Old Harry also lost his sense of taste.
Look at Dejan Lu, who saved tens of thousands of people and the Royal Family in Europe. After recovery, he seemed to be fine.
Unfair!
So unfair!
He even felt that Dejan Lu seemed to be stronger than before after recovery.
Hell, it doesn't matter if you get hit by a bomb.
He just got into a car accident and lost his sense of taste.
Considering the honors Dejan Lu received, he felt that good things happened to Dejan Lu.
It's simply God's preference.
However, as a man who is about to turn 50, he has adjusted his mentality very well.
After all, he had already experienced this kind of thing when he was playing football.
Pelé is just a few years older than him, and Best is from the same era as him.
I'm really jealous of others all the time, and I can't survive long ago.
But the players on the field don't have such a good ability to adjust.
Even though Dejan Lu was replaced, the score was still 4:0 in the first half.
In the end, the game ended 5:0.
On the contrary, the press conference after the game was very exciting, which made Dejan Lu regret not going to see the fun.
The newspapers the next day were full of reports about West Ham.
"The Times": "Redknapp claims that Lampard is better. He predicts that Lampard will become a great player and will be better than Scott Canham."
This is true.
It seems that Canham later opened a car repair shop.
At this time, Lampard was so young that it was hard to imagine that he would be the midfielder of Chelsea later.
When I saw the second version, Dejan Lu almost laughed.
"The Times" reporter interviewed Arsenal fans. They felt that no one could beat Arsenal.
After introducing Bergkamp and Lothar Matthäus, they also introduced Dejan Lu's old acquaintance, David·Platt, who had played for both Bari and Juventus.
Platt was born in Manchester United's youth training.
Later, Platt coached Sampdoria and Nottingham. His level was similar to that of Gary·Neville. The only impression Nottingham fans had of him was that the signings in the transfer market were all parallel imports.
If he hadn't worked for Manchester City as an assistant coach to Roberto Mancini and became a champion, his coaching career would have been a mess.
But his playing ability is still good.
No wonder Arsenal fans are bursting with confidence.
The predecessor the Prince Merson successfully quit drinking and introduced Platt and Lothar Matthäus. This midfield triangle is theoretically competitive in Europe.
The striker looks a little worse, but Bergkamp's transfer fee of more than 10 million US dollars still gives them some hope. What if the Dutchman is kicked out later?
Needless to say, the defense is Arsenal's strongest point.
This team looks really competitive right now.
And they have not given up on signings. The Arsenal board of directors has obviously been convinced by the professor and strives to build a competitive team in one fell swoop.
Consider that coaches are professors.
This Arsenal team does have potential.
But it's still a bit early to shout out such slogans now.
It also says below that the professor wants to recruit Klinsmann, Petit and Thuram, who were members of the old department during the Monaco period.
It is estimated that only Petit is possible here.
In that situation, Arsenal still needs to buy a defender. The five senior players in defense have to be rotated.
As for Klinsmann.
Even if the German wanted to defect to the professor, he had to consider the consequences.
From Tottenham Hotspur to Arsenal, it will not be very comfortable to play in the UK.
If he really partners with Bergkamp, this striker will be quite outrageous, with strong feet and head.
A few days later, Manchester United defeated Wimbledon and Everton, and finally ushered in two consecutive collisions with Blackburn.
The Charity Shield, followed by the fifth round of the league.
Petit still transferred to Arsenal. The transfer fee of only 1.2 million Pound Sterling also shows why the professor loves Ligue 1 players.
For less than $2 million, you can buy one of France's best future midfielders who has already been selected for the national team.
Piacentini, who transferred from Rome to Fiorentina in the summer, failed to be selected for the national team at the age of 27 and spent more than 4 million US dollars.
During this period, Ligue 1 players were cheaper than other leagues, including Eredivisie and the Portuguese Super League, which later declined.
Figo transferred to Barcelona for US$2.5 million, which was a big bargain for Barca.
Whether it is going to Parma or Juventus, it is impossible to only have such a small transfer fee.
The main reason is that the club wanted to sell him to Turin behind Figo's back and annoyed Figo.
This situation will change after the Bosman case is finally heard at the end of the year.
On September 1st, the Manchester United team came to Wembley Stadium again to compete for the first championship of this season.
Cantona also returned to the roster in this game.
In the locker room, Ferguson said, "I don't want to criticize you, but if you can't score a goal compared to a defender, then it's best not to play."
Ferguson is talking about Sutton, Shearer's partner.
That guy was either a youth team player or a defender.
The team's forward line was seriously lacking in talented guest forwards due to injuries, and then they scored 25 goals in one season.
This is quite outrageous.
Many England celebrities believe that he is the most intelligent player in the UK besides Gazza.
Dejan Lu does not deny this.
It is not something that ordinary people can do by switching from defender to forward seamlessly.
"Don't worry, boss, I will let Shearer and them know who is Premier League's best striker!"
Cantona said domineeringly.
He had been holding his breath during this period.
After changing clothes Dejan Lu chose the lottery.
[Your good brother Francesco·Totti has maintained a high level since attracting attention from the youth team. In addition to talent, it is also his own persistence, so we selected a player with extreme highs and lows. Ding, get the 2016-2017 season Champions League group stage 3rd round, Manchester United VS Fenerbahçe, Jesse·Lingard single game experience card]
Dejan Lu:...
He was still wondering who it would be from Blackburn.
Unexpectedly, I drew West Ham celebrity.
Lin Huang's overall level is just like that, but occasionally when he performs well, his level is even higher than his upper limit.
There is a long-range shot, and the left and right feet can also be used to shoot.
There are also many scenes of dribbling the ball to advance one-stop during counterattacks.
If he is a little more self-disciplined, he can become the second core of a small team, similar to Betis' Anthony.
Judging from his technical characteristics, he is not suitable to be the core of the team.
In positional battles, he doesn't have many advantages, and more needs to assist a strong player.
If I hadn't decided not to cut my salary, I might have had better development if I stayed at West Ham.
But the highlight period is really eye-catching.
This is a player who is not the England emperor star, but is more famous than other emperor stars.
Behind Cantona, he can bring out his characteristics.
The most important thing is that Dejan the Football King's Football IQ is much higher than Lin Huang. This is the guarantee of performance.
"Let's go and teach them a lesson!"
Cantona said impatiently.
"Let's go."
The entire Manchester United team walked out of the dressing room.
I happened to meet Blackburn player.
Some Manchester United players still said hello to Shearer, they are all England international players.
When they return to the channel again, the two parties will no longer communicate.
It means everyone is his own master.
Players England understand this very clearly, and Premier League also has some advantages.
Later, after Phillip transferred, he and Gary·Neville stood together at the entrance of the passage. The two people did not even make eye contact, let alone say hello.
During the warm-up period, Dejan Lu received the ball from his teammates and tried it a few times, and then he knew what level Lingard's ball feel was.
So-so.
Lingard has shortcomings in every aspect.
But he has a very good advantage, that is, he makes very few mistakes.
This is also the reason why he is suitable to be the second core wingman. As long as his teammates are strong enough, Lingard will have enough room to perform.
Especially Kane likes to retrace.
This is similar to Cantona as Number 9.5.
Today's Manchester United fans are obviously more enthusiastic than the last game.
A giant TIFO was played in the stands early to welcome the return of Cantona.
No matter what, it's about a championship trophy.
"The Princess did appear at the Wembley scene again, but she looks a little fatter, right..." Jim Beglin became the Riddler.
Martin·Taylor dare not accept this.
Even the viewers in front of the TV know it.
"Okay, the players from both teams are warming up. Shearer is showing good form. He is practicing heading the ball. Does he want to use this method to score Manchester United's goal later?"
"The return of Eric·Cantona is also a big event for Manchester United. As Manchester United's superstar after Dejan, Cantona is still very important."
"I think Schmeichel and Redondo are no worse than him."
"Yes, but their position limits them. It can also be seen from Ballon d'Or that the selection is more inclined towards offensive players."
"But Paolo·Paolo Maldini got Ballon d'Or tenth place!"
Martin·Taylor After saying that, both of them laughed.
This Ballon d'Or number ten is Dejan Lu's favorite joke.
Italy Football has not only been strong in recent years, but also has a lot of jokes.
What is the first licking dog, the first illiterate, the first Joker and the tenth golden ball.
Looking at it this way, these people are all related to Dejan Lu.
Dejan Lu glanced at the sidelines. Although the coaching staff had not yet appeared, he guessed that Ferguson must not be in high spirits today.
Regardless of the trophy, the opponent's coach was changed from Dalglish to Ray Halford, which will definitely reduce Ferguson's will to fight.
That Scotland old man is a very vengeful person.
And he still has the ability to trample his opponents under his feet.
Every time he faced the enemy, he was like a chicken.
But even if Dalglish left, new enemies still appeared.
For a long time in the future, the battle between him and the professor will be the main theme of Premier League.
I don't know when the two of them started to become friends. It's interesting to think about it.
It didn't take long for the FA officials to ask the players from both teams to go back to the tunnel.
"The game is about to begin, and about to begin is this season's Charity Shield."
"Yes, because Manchester United won the Premier League and FA Cup double championships last season, so their opponent today will be Blackburn, who was second in Premier League last season. Next, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides."
Blackburn 442 double back waist:
Goalkeeper: Flowers,
Defenders: Graham Le Saux, Ian Pierce, Chris Sutton, Jeff Conaway,
Midfielder: Gallagher, Tim Sherwood, David·Bati, Stuart Ripley,
Forwards: Shearer, Mike Neville.
Manchester United 451 double midfielders:
Goalkeeper: Schmeichel,
Defender: David·Mei, Irwin, Bruce, Gary·Neville,
Midfielder: Dejan Lu, Redondo, Scholes, Lee Sharp, Beckham,
Forward: Cantona.
"Sutton has returned to the guard position. This is really surprising, but players who can perform well in both positions are still quite rare."
"Yes, it is also a test for Cantona to play as a single forward after returning. Cantona prefers a two-forward formation."
"Ferguson must have considered this. As Dejan's teammate, the necessity of two forwards has been greatly reduced."
Jim·Beglin got right to the point.
Even during the period of Sampdoria, Roberto Mancini retraced more.
Dejan Lu prefers to play in a formation with teammates in the middle.
Even if Manchester United switches to 442, Cantona will still drop back to cooperate. In fact, there is no difference.
It just depends on whether Ferguson wants Cole or Scholes to be the first release.
At 4pm, Dermot Gallagher blew the whistle to start the game.
The two teams are no strangers.
Dejan Lu Anyone who has never been to Blackburn's training ground knows the opponent's situation.
Blackburn has the simplest training facilities of Premier League.
Even if they spend a lot of money in recent years, the players still play in a training ground without a locker room, and wild dogs often poop on the ground.
And it's also next to the cemetery, so players are sometimes blocked by hearses.
These things are all covered in newspapers.
Their playing style is based on the standard wing.
David·Bati took the ball and immediately observed it. When Ripley rushed behind Dejan Lu, he made a long pass.
David Mei is also very clear about his opponent's tactics. He used to be a player of Blackburn, and he immediately attacked with Redondo.
Ripley knew it was hard to pass, so when he turned around and passed back, David·Mei immediately returned to his position.
There is no chance for the opposing winger to take him away as a full-back.
This is why some players are very good when facing their former team. In addition to their mental state, it is also because they know the opponent's tactics so well that they can guess the opponent's next move immediately.
Without the ability to pull away the full-backs, it will be difficult to create space.
Sherwood was a little hesitant in the center circle when he took the ball, not knowing which way to pass it to.
"Stop sticking to the ball and pass it out!"
Sutton shouted behind him.
Scholes has retreated and rushed towards Sherwood.
Sherwood quickly passed the ball to the left.
Gallagher is still waiting for the ball, but Gary·Neville has already rushed forward and made a sliding tackle.
The ball rolled directly to Lee Sharp. Sharp saw Dejan Lu appearing on the right and continued to pass the ball directly.
Dejan Lu quickly turned around after catching the ball.
Snap—swinging his right foot forward hard, dribbling the ball diagonally into the opponent's half.
David·Bati also wanted to chase back and press, but Dejan Lu didn't give him any chance at all.
First, he adjusted his direction from left to right and headed straight into the penalty area. After a few steps, he immediately tapped his right foot and dribbled the ball diagonally again.
There were no gorgeous passing moves, but David·Bati was forced to change his center of gravity twice and adjust accordingly.
Sutton knew that the situation was not good, so he chose to give up Cantona and stood there to help defend with his teammates.
Cantona ran to the right side of the penalty area with Pierce.
Just when I was about to meet Sutton.
Dejan Lu strikes the ball again with his right foot.
Click——
It seems that he wants to dribble the ball laterally, but he knocks the ball forward with his left foot while running, preventing the ball from rolling to the left.
Such a simple action caused Sutton, who had been staring at his feet, to make a mistake in judgment and fail to stretch out his feet immediately.
At this point it was too late to stretch my legs.
The reaction speed of Sutton, who is 1.9 meters tall, cannot be said to be fast. He even blocked David·Bati who was chasing after him.
A bad combination between two people turned into one plus less than one.
"Damn it, I'm coming!!!"
Goalkeeper Flowers obviously also discovered this situation.
He shouted and walked out the door.
Bang——
Dejan Lu rubs his right foot and pushes the ball directly through the instep. The ball passed over Flowers. Pierce wanted to chase back and save the ball in front of the goal, but he couldn't outrun the ball and could only watch the ball fly into the empty goal.
stunned!
Whether it's Ray Halford or Ferguson.
The coaches of both teams kept the same expression, covering their heads with their hands in disbelief.
A goal on the pitch is one of the most entertaining to watch.
Although Dejan Lu easily penetrated Blackburn's defense this time with just a few changes of direction, it still shocked them.
Oh shit.
The other players haven't even entered the game yet, and you started?
Wembley Stadium burst into loud cheers.
Some Manchester United fans held up posters with Dejan Lu printed on them and screamed an octave high.
Before Beckham opened, Manchester United already had a fan idol.
"Goal!"
"Dejan Goal!"
"In an 80-meter long-distance run, Dejan passed four people and tricked the goalkeeper to send the ball into the goal."
"I didn't expect it at all. Dejan gave the fans a big gift with the first counterattack at the beginning. Obviously the whole Wembley went crazy and there were screams everywhere!"
"Even sitting in front of the TV, whether at home or in a bar, I can imagine the fans seeing this goal. I can only say that when Dejan is on the court, the game will never be boring."
"After the ownership of Champions Cup was decided last season, Dejan still maintained a good competitive state. Although this is his third appearance this season, Dejan has scored 3 goals and assisted 2 times, and participated in 8 goals!!!"
The most important thing is that except for West Ham Dejan Lu, he will only start when facing strong teams.
Coming off the bench is even more so when the team is lagging behind or unable to open up the situation.
His goals and participation in goals are full of gold!
The professor in front of the TV was also amazed by Dejan Lu's goal.
Even though Lothar Matthäus is very strong, can he defend Dejan Lu alone?
You can't play Manchester United with five defensive midfielders on the back line, with Lothar Matthäus leading the three defensive midfielders, right?
That's not his style.
It's really not easy to deal with such a player.
Alan Shearer couldn't help but look at his good partner Sutton.
Chris Topher·Sutton shrugged at him from a distance, saying that there was nothing he could do about such a goal.
If it's a frontal impact, he might be able to steal.
But Dejan Lu continuously used his feet to change the direction of the ball at critical moments, which made it difficult for him to guess.
As a player who can play with his brain, he understands how difficult it is to defend at this time.
This change of direction was only based on the situation at that time, and was not a fixed routine.
If he changes his position, Dejan Lu will choose another way to change direction.
In the final analysis, the defensive players are on the passive side. You need them to take action before making a move. At this time, it is difficult for any defender to solve the problem on his own.
Shearer rubbed his head and felt a headache.
The powerful combination of the German national team and Italian National Team couldn't be defended. It was a bit overthinking to expect his teammates.
But when it comes to comparing offensive efficiency with Dejan Lu, he doesn't have much confidence.
Blackburn can always pass the ball into the opponent's penalty area.
But the existence of David Mei's former teammate almost destroyed one of their wings.
He has never heard of any winger who can fly with one wing, except Dejan Lu.
If your good partner Sutton is here, you can also ask Sutton to support you outside.
Mike Neville is not as good as Sutton in terms of running and pulling. He is in a similar situation to him, both like to play themselves as the core of the team.
Shearer raised a hand and shouted, "Be careful, it's just a ball, we can get it back soon."
Even if Manchester United is strong, it is not a reason for him to give up.
Blackburn fans in the stands applauded Shearer.
Players who persevere always get more love.
Ferguson looked at the field and pouted.
Although he wanted to buy Shearer before, he would not buy Shearer if he was asked to buy it now.
There are too many forwards in the team, including the youth team, they can all get together 6 or 7. Is it necessary to use only one forward for one event?
It doesn't matter whether Shearer is excellent or not.
Take a look at McClair.
With Dejan Lu, he immediately reached the peak of his career. As long as he plays with Dejan Lu, he can even maintain an average of more than one goal per game.
This also gives him no reason to buy a forward.
We may even have to send away some talents in the future.
Hey, Ferguson feels that Manchester United is the team that no one can beat.
Blackburn on the field is still in trouble.
Tim Sherwood was pressed by Scholes and could only pass the ball to David·Bati.
Bati took the ball a few steps and then Redondo rushed forward.
In panic, Bati passed directly to the right.
Ferguson's eyes widened immediately, David·Mei pressed forward, and the ball easily found Stuart Ripley. Ripley kept dribbling the ball into the penalty area, attracting the attention of Manchester United's defense.
Immediately, there was a pass, and Shearer rushed outside the penalty area and shot hard from the left side of the area.
Not long after scoring the goal, the opponent equalized the score.
Ferguson couldn't help but blush.
I was still thinking about those things just now, but when I turned around, my opponent broke the goal.
The main responsibility for conceding the ball this time lies with David Mei, because his position was too advanced.
But Mei needs to make up for and pass the ball to Dejan Lu, and it is impossible to stay in his position all the time.
You can't restrict him just because of defense.
Irwin made no mistakes and kept focused.
Neville has a small problem, but it's not the most important one.
A step too slow when fighting for the top.
However, he and Dejan Lu went on vacation together during the holidays, which shows that they have a good relationship.
Besides, that kid is also very popular in the locker room.
Ferguson looked at Redondo and the players ahead.
Cantona It would be nice if you don't cause trouble yourself.
Redondo also has a bad temper.
Then there are only a few options left.
Ferguson's eyes kept patrolling between Scholes, Beckham and Lee Sharp.
A few seconds later, Scotland shouted in English: "Sharp, what's going on with your position? You didn't go up to press, and you didn't go back to defend. Why did you leave so much space for your opponent? It's entirely your responsibility to concede the ball this time..."
Lee Sharp looked back at his own penalty area with a confused look on his face. Why was he responsible for the attack launched from the side of Dejan Lu and Redondo...
