McClair comes on as a substitute.
But this game still surprised Ferguson.
If he hadn't stopped the players and told them not to continue attacking, the score would have been 8:2.
The diamond back four was too restrained in front of 442.
The pair of Giggs and Beckham have very strong offensive capabilities.
No wonder there are no free people after Sammer.
Free men are an abandoned role in modern tactics, and there are almost no suitable tactics.
After the big defeat, Hitzfeld did not attend the post-game press conference.
Ferguson did not chase him to defend, but continued to scold Keegan.
With six rounds left in the league, the lead is 18 points, which is quite exaggerated in the three-point system.
If Keegan wants to win the next six games, unless Manchester United loses them all without scoring a single goal, they will win them all and get a 27 goal difference to have a chance.
As long as Manchester United gets a point, they can win the championship in advance.
Totteridge, North London.
Arsène·Wenger lives here.
There is his favorite Italy restaurant Cocorico nearby, which is only a few minutes' walk from his home.
After home games, he would choose to eat Italy food to relax.
When I got up early in the morning, Wenger had already started making breakfast.
A bachelor without his girlfriend needs to solve the breakfast problem by himself.
Some coffee and black tea, toast with low sugar jam and some nuts, that's how he started his day.
In the team, he also opposed excessive sugar and fat consumption and excessive consumption of red meat.
Drinking coffee Wenger opened today's newspaper.
There are still a few days until the next round of the league, but against Manchester United, a few days is not that long.
"The Times" mocked the Germans hard.
They wrote, "8:2 is the gap between German football and British football. Even after Dejan came off the field, Manchester United still scored 4 goals. Dortmund suffered a disastrous defeat at home. The Testfalun Stadium, which is said to never fall, lost their voice. Perhaps the Germans will never understand what happened."
The professor curled his lips.
Can this be said in this way?
First destroy the opponent's morale, and then replace Dejan Lu. The opponent he faces is completely different from the opponent in the opening stage.
Sometimes he really admired the British people's ability to deceive themselves and others, and they could always find such tricky angles to show their superiority.
As far as how he feels right now.
Premier League is about the same level as Ligue 1.
This is the result of Premier League's heavy spending in recent years.
It will take a long time for the technical and tactical level to catch up with the Italy League.
"Manchester Evening News" recounted Ferguson's words. Ferguson said, "Keegan once said that his player period was more glorious than mine. I don't deny it. Recognize this, he is Mr. Golden Ball. But my player's career is far more brilliant than his player's career. Being good at playing football does not mean being a good coach, just like being good at studying does not mean being a good teacher. Just because you look like a professor does not mean you can coach a good team."
Wenger:...
He finally understood why Ferguson had so many opponents.
The two of them haven't started to fight in newspapers recently, but Ferguson still scolds him every chance he gets.
Even if his psychological quality is good, he is definitely unhappy.
It's not a good experience to get up every day and be scolded in the newspaper.
The professor was thinking with his chin set. If he failed to win, he should say something while watching Manchester United win the championship. It would not be embarrassing and would not make Ferguson too proud.
He really didn't want to see the smiling face of that Scotland bastard.
"Financial Times" wrote some data about the Premier League team.
Arsène·Wenger, who has a degree in economics, is keenly aware that Premier League is developing faster than he imagined.
It is foreseeable that the strength of the English region will give the Premier League team more supporters around the world.
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but think of Dejan Lu.
If they sign that young man, Arsenal can take advantage of Asia and Europe.
Even from an economic perspective, a Chinese player is very good.
"The Sun": "A Italy football related source revealed that Serie A giants use banned drugs to improve the condition of their players."
He couldn't help but frown when he saw this.
Drug use has a long history in sports, not just football.
Using medicine to increase endurance, using medicine to increase explosive power... are very common in various sports.
Even the Miracle in Bern, which the Germans are proud of, is suspected of this.
In the past, many sports were not about who could be clean, but about whose medicine could avoid detection.
But there was nothing he could do about this.
There is a saying that when you see one cockroach, there are actually a thousand cockroaches in the dark.
If a club uses drugs, it will involve some university research laboratories, hospitals, football associations, supervisors, etc.
Their connections alone would be quite terrifying.
Then consider the bosses behind those wealthy families.
It is certain that the personal safety of those who expose such things will not be guaranteed.
After reading the newspaper Wenger, I drove to the training base.
Manchester United, who are participating in the Champions League, have a break, but Arsenal still have a training day.
Just in time to try a new formation to limit Dejan Lu.
At around 11 o'clock in the morning, Dejan Lu was woken up by the sound of the horn at the door of his house.
"Who?"
Monica muttered.
Dejan Lu removed the thing pressing on his face, stood up, put on shorts and a T-shirt, and went to open the door.
As soon as we arrived at the gate, we saw Phillip·Neville and Beckham who were a little uneasy, and Gary·Neville who was sitting in the back seat like a drugged monkey.
"Dejan, it's Gary who must come to you."
Phillip·Neville said.
Beckham nodded.
"What's going on?"
Dejan Lu asked.
Monica just finished work, so he came home very late yesterday and still played overtime.
"Phil's girlfriend has her birthday today. She is your fan, so we decided to bring you in front of her to fulfill the wish of a poor starstruck girl."
Gary·Neville said, "Maybe you can let her conceive your child and let Phil raise it."
Phillip·Neville took out a leather shoe brush from the hand buckle and hit his brother hard on the head.
At first glance, you can tell that he pays great attention to his personal image and keeps his leather shoes clean at all times.
Dejan Lu scratched his head helplessly.
Although they are only two years apart, he seems to be a generation different from Gary·Neville.
"Wait for me, remember to call Fernando."
Dejan Lu pointed to the house next to him and said.
But he estimated that Redondo had already heard it.
The good brother wakes up very early and has very good ears.
I often like to stand behind the blinds and watch the scenery.
A reporter came over before and was almost scared by him.
Looking from bottom to top, it always feels like a perverted killer in a movie.
After going back and talking to Monica, Dejan Lu washed up and left the house.
Redondo is also there. Five people are sitting in the crown of Phillip·Neville. It is a bit crowded for three people in the back row.
Class of '92 These young people are quite used to it.
When Giggs first got a car, he took them to play with him. At most, there were 7 people in one car.
"It's not far from here in Warrington."
Gary·Neville said with a smile, "We are also at Cheshire, so it is just right to call you. You don't know, Phil is considering whether to propose to his girlfriend. Maybe he will thank Dejan during the wedding ceremony. Thank you Dejan for helping him find a wife."
"Shut up, Gary!"
Phillip·Neville shouted.
Everything he said sounded dirty in his brother's mouth.
"Have you ever considered opening a company that makes Category III films? I always feel like you can succeed."
Redondo complained.
"I would like to, but the boss probably won't be willing. It will affect the image of me and the team." Gary·Neville said after serious consideration.
"Idiot, you don't have any image. Even if the boss makes Nicky the captain in the future, you won't have any chance." Beckham complained.
Dejan Lu:...
These guys don't have very good vision.
After Keane left the team, Ouchi became the captain.
But in terms of strength alone, Ouchi is still a little behind after the injury.
It didn't take long for several people to arrive at Phillip·Neville's girlfriend's home. Warrington is half an hour's drive from Manchester and Liverpool.
After parking the car, Phillip·Neville went in first, and soon heard screaming inside.
"Dejan, it's Dejan, there's Fernando and David!!!"
The two girls shouted excitedly, and the neighbors nearby could hear them.
"This is my girlfriend Emma Fletcher, and that is her sister Julia." Little Neville introduced a little embarrassedly.
"Scotland people?"
Dejan Lu asked.
"Yes, Phil may like the boss too much." Gary·Neville said in a strange tone.
"Let's go, get out of the car."
After getting off the car, I saw two excited girls. Dejan Lu handed over the gift and said, "Happy birthday."
Redondo also gave a gift.
The girl almost screamed with excitement again.
"It's just red wine, nothing new."
Gary·Neville complained.
"Better than a guy like you who doesn't give anything away." Beckham complained.
He even bought a bouquet of flowers just now.
"Thank you, Dejan, thank you for your gift, I will keep it well..." Emma Fletcher said excitedly.
The other party's black hair and brown eyes made Dejan Lu feel more friendly.
This is also the characteristic of Scotland people.
Dejan Lu suspects that they are the Roman orthodoxy.
"That's a candle, no need to store it."
Dejan Lu reminded, "Just put it on the cake."
I've seen candles that bloom at a moment's notice in a Chinese store. I haven't seen them in a long time, so I bought a few to put at home.
They were all young people and they quickly became familiar with each other.
Everyone is preparing barbecue in the yard.
The parents of the two sisters went out deliberately not to disturb the young people's gathering.
"Her parents quite believe in you. Why don't you stay here today and let them upgrade to grandparents as soon as possible." Gary·Neville, who was making a fire, encouraged.
"Go away."
Little Neville said angrily.
Even if he has a good relationship, his brother always seems to have nowhere to vent his hormones.
Sometimes he really wanted to ask his parents whether they watched movies every day when he was pregnant with Gary, which caused his brother's mind to be filled with pornographic waste.
Dejan Lu didn't do anything at all, but Julia forced her to drink afternoon tea in their living room, even though it was only noon.
"Dejan, the cookies will be ready soon."
Julia, who was busy in the kitchen, said.
"No need to bother."
Dejan Lu said with a smile.
"It's okay, no trouble, I'm going to take a lot of photos today!" Julia said excitedly, his tone of voice rising.
Clearly in a very good mood.
Emma, who thought her sister was too excited, said sheepishly, "There are many Manchester United fans in their school."
"I can understand."
Dejan Lu said.
Times have changed.
Manchester United is stronger now.
For example, when Gary·Neville was young, all the children nearby were Liverpool fans, and he was the only one who was a Manchester United fan.
Later, he was so excited every time he played Liverpool, which was definitely related to his experience in elementary school.
It can be seen that this family is really Manchester United fans.
There are even gold and green scarves and various club merch.
"May I ask, how did you and Phil meet, Emma?"
Dejan Lu asked.
"My dad owns a restaurant, Manchester. One day I was helping in the store, and he came to eat after playing the game. We were about to close, and when we saw it was a first-team player, we decided to cook him a meal." Emma Fletcher said.
Gary·Neville, who was poking his head in the yard, shouted, "He is a substitute now, he is not a first-team player, and he has never been!"
"Ignore that idiot. He is envious of his brother for having a beautiful girlfriend."
Dejan Lu said with a smile.
"I never thought players were so..."
Emma Fletcher covered her mouth and laughed.
"...hate it?"
Dejan Lu added.
She smiled wider.
Gary·Neville touched his brother with his arm and said, "If you don't go and have a look, Dejan will take your girlfriend away later."
Phil·Neville rolled his eyes angrily, but he still entered the room and asked, "Want to go get the cake together, Dejan?"
"Let's go."
Dejan Lu glanced at him and stood up and said.
Young people are somewhat jealous.
These are all understandable things.
"Do you need me to go?" asked Redondo who was preparing barbecue.
"No need, the two of us are enough."
Dejan Lu said.
Redondo is the chef every time he grills meat.
Even when using a home oven.
This is also a stereotype.
When he was at Genoa, this rich second generation was not that proficient in barbecue, and he was obviously just learning it.
But over such a long period of time, he did develop a pretty good skill.
It's no problem to open a restaurant or something after retiring.
The two of them drove to the cake shop, and Phillip·Neville ordered a 12-inch cake in advance.
"Is it too big?"
Dejan Lu asked, holding the box.
"Is that so? Will Emma be happy?" Little Neville asked heheily as he sat back in the cab.
"... Yes."
Dejan Lu said uncertainly.
When young people fall in love, they want to give the other person everything.
But at 12 inches, it's a bit big even if you have a sweet tooth.
After the two people parked the car, a child ran over and stared at the cake.
"Little guy, do you want to eat?"
Phillip·Neville asked with a smile.
The little guy nodded immediately.
"He's a neighbor of Emma's family. I heard he lives with his grandparents." Phillip·Neville said.
Dejan Lu nodded.
This is divorce.
"How about taking him with you?"
Phillip·Neville asked.
"You need to ask his parents."
Dejan Lu curled his lips and said.
The old man was mowing the lawn nearby and kept staring at them.
At first glance, he felt worried about his grandson.
"Sir, can we invite this child to play together?" Phillip·Neville asked.
The old man looked at his grandson.
The little guy nodded vigorously.
The old man smiled and waved his hand and said, "I'll pick up Jesse later."
"Okay."
Dejan Lu lowered his head and asked, "What's your name, little guy?"
"Jesse Lingard."
Dejan Lu:...
Dejan Lu stopped and squatted down, took a closer look, and could actually vaguely see the shadow of what happened later.
Cheshire is so big, it is not unusual to encounter local youth training.
"Are you a fan, Jesse?"
Dejan Lu asked.
"Yes, I am a Manchester United fan, and I will also go to Manchester United in the future." Young Lingard said firmly.
"How old are you, Jesse?"
Dejan Lu asked.
"Soon to be four."
"That's good. You can come to Manchester United for trial training in a few years. Then you can guide me."
Dejan Lu joked.
After all, Lin Huang also coached Little Curly.
Phillip·Neville never expected that the two of them would hit it off so well.
When they returned to Emma's house, Gary·Neville immediately exclaimed, "Dejan, is this your illegitimate son, but the skin color is not right? Is his mother Wallis Dili?"
"Get out of here, this is a neighbor's kid, our fan."
Little Neville said angrily.
"That's Dejan's fans, so ignorant." Gary·Neville curled his lips and said.
"Our fans are all fans of Dejan, but it's different if they are your fans." Little Neville complained, sat down and got himself a bottle of beer.
Gary·Neville also sat down and said, "I should have drowned you in the swimming pool when you were a child. Such a brother is of no use. I was working at your girlfriend's house and you even scolded me."
"Gary, you have never done anything."
Redondo complained.
Little Neville showed an expression that was indeed true.
His brother has always liked to be lazy.
There was nothing to prepare for the barbecue, and it didn't take long for everyone to sit down in the yard.
It's not a bad day without rain.
Lingard has also become the focus of everyone's attention.
These half-the Big Kid, you can find the feeling of becoming an adult in front of real children.
"Jesse, do you want to wear No. 23 in the future?"
Beckham asked.
"No, I want to wear No. 7!" Lingard yelled, scratching his neck.
"Then you probably don't have a chance. Dejan has been retired for several years when you grow up. There will be a new owner on the 7th." Gary·Neville shook his head and said.
"It's mine!" Lingard shouted.
"No, it's not!"
"It's mine!!!"
"No, you don't stand a chance little one."
The two quarreled, and Jesse Lingard bit Gary·Neville on the arm.
This quarrel finally came to an end.
"Damn it, don't even think about playing for Manchester United!" Gary·Neville complained.
Dejan Lu groped Lingard's head with one hand and said, "It's actually not bad. You can adapt to North-West Derby's atmosphere in advance."
"What an atmosphere, Liverpool players don't bite."
Gary·Neville said angrily.
"Okay, stop arguing, let's light the candle first." Julia persuaded, lighting the lotus-shaped candle with a kitchen lighter.
Music started as the candles exploded.
Young people who saw this scene for the first time exclaimed.
It feels very novel.
Lingard and the big Neville stared at the candle with burning eyes.
After Emma leaned over and blew it out, Gary·Neville snatched the candle away.
"Give it to me!"
Lingard raised his hand and begged.
"No, it's mine!" Gary·Neville said.
Jesse Lingard is about to cry as soon as he curls his lips.
Dejan Lu quickly persuaded, "I will give you one in the future, and when it is your birthday, I will give you a more beautiful one."
Upon hearing this, Lingard immediately made a face at Gary·Neville, took the cake from Emma, and said thank you sweetly.
So sweet!
Dejan Lu took one bite and put it down.
The added sugar in this is definitely not normal.
He couldn't stand the sweetness that made him want to drink water as soon as he ate it.
Dejan Lu stood up, took a bottle of mineral water and went over to barbecue.
Redondo knew what was going on when he saw this. He knew Dejan Lu's eating habits very well.
But he didn't want to mess with the young people, so he hooked his foot and started playing with the football in the yard.
Lingard, who had taken two bites, also joined in.
Dejan Lu saw this and quickly took Julia's camera to take a picture.
The young Lin Huang guided Redondo, which is quite precious information.
"Gary, help us take pictures!"
Philip Neville shouted.
"Why me?"
"Because Emma wants to take a photo with Dejan, Fernando and David. I am her boyfriend and of course I want to take a photo with them." Phillip·Neville said.
"Then let that boy take the photo." Gary·Neville pointed at Lingard and said angrily.
"Don't break my camera, it's expensive!"
Julia·Fletcher said somewhat unhappy.
Phillip·Neville shrugged at his brother.
Big Neville could only curse and took the camera to help take pictures.
After working on it for a long time, he was the only one left superfluous.
A glance at the candle in his pocket gave him some comfort.
At least there's something to gain, right?
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Phillip·Neville was reluctantly taken away.
Lingard was sent back to his grandfather's house.
On the way back in the car, Redondo couldn't help but said, "Gary, can you turn off your happy birthday?"
"I don't know how to turn it off, and I think it sounds pretty good."
Gary·Neville said with a smile.
Seeing that Redondo was unhappy, he felt very good.
He didn't want to see anyone happy today.
"It's okay, just be patient."
Dejan Lu persuaded.
Gary·Neville is tough now, but later he will know how scary that candle is.
After Dejan Lu and Redondo got off the bus, Phillip·Neville asked, "Where are you and David going back?"
"I'm going back to the dormitory today. I don't want to go home with you."
Gary·Neville said.
"Then I'll go home, take me home Phil." Beckham said quickly.
"Tch, who wants to be in the dormitory with you?" Gary·Neville said disdainfully.
Under his strong suggestion, the two people sent him back to Carrington first.
Gary·Neville, who felt like he was smelling of barbecue, took a bath, took out the candle and found that it was still ringing.
He didn't pay attention and turned on the TV to watch the football program.
He didn't feel sleepy until after 11 o'clock, which was very unusual for him.
But Gary·Neville just turned off the TV and heard the music coming from the candle.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."
"Damn it!"
Gary·Neville put the quilt over his head. He didn't believe that the thing would keep ringing.
The next day.
The whole team knew the joke.
"You can actually snap the battery." Schmeichel suggested.
"No, I'm just going to see how long it lasts."
Gary·Neville said with dark circles under his eyes.
He still doesn't believe that a candle can keep singing.
"How long does that thing keep ringing?"
Redondo asked in a low voice.
"I don't know. Anyway, a few days will be fine."
Dejan Lu said with a smile.
Redondo glanced at Gary·Neville with some pity. This guy was miserable.
April 19th.
Manchester United finally ushered in the highlight of winning the championship.
In the 33rd round of the league, if you get one point in this round, you can win the championship in advance.
And the opponent is Arsenal.
On the bus to Theatre of Dreams, Gary·Neville had deep dark circles under his eyes.
Even Ferguson was a little curious about what was going on with this child.
He walked up to Phillip·Neville and asked, "Has your brother got a girlfriend?"
"No, boss."
Phillip·Neville said.
"What's going on?"
Ferguson asked with a frown.
You can't be in your 20s and suddenly lose control of yourself during puberty and use a roll of paper a day?
It is normal for this kind of thing to happen to young people in their 10s.
The whole team suppressed laughter and said nothing.
Ferguson shook his head and returned to his position.
Gary·Neville cannot be released in this state.
After the Theatre of Dreams team got off the bus, Ferguson smiled and waved and said, "Let's go Dejan, let's go see what the French guy has to say."
Dejan Lu nodded and followed Ferguson to the press hall.
Sure enough, the professor was already sitting there, and sitting there with him was the old Arsenal captain Adams.
When reporters saw Ferguson and Dejan Lu, they immediately started asking excited questions.
"Alex, will you win the championship at home today?"
"Mr. Ferguson, do you have any plans for signings now?"
"Who do you think is Arsenal's most dangerous player, Alex?"
"Who do you think is a greater threat to Manchester United, Mr. Wenger or Mr. Kevin·Keegan, Mr. Ferguson?"
"Mr. Wenger, tell us your expectations for today's game?"
"..."
Only these two coaches sitting together can steal Dejan Lu's limelight.
But Dejan Lu didn't care. He liked watching the two old men quarreling.
"Winning today's game at home is the minimum requirement. I don't guarantee that the team can win, but we will definitely not lose." Ferguson said confidently.
Make the place excited.
Journalists love statements like this.
"Arsène, do you agree with what Mr. Ferguson said?"
the reporter asked.
The professor smiled and took the microphone and said, "Football is not about talking, so I won't talk about winning or losing."
Before the reporters could ask questions, Ferguson mocked. "No matter how you rank fifth, there is no way you can rise to first place. If I were you, I would not discuss winning or losing. After all, there is nothing to discuss."
The professor shrugged and said nothing.
This made Ferguson a little disappointed, and continued, "After winning the championship, I will make some plans for signings, but I don't have any ideas yet. If possible, I will sign on the back line."
Boom——
Although there was no specific name, the reporters were still very happy.
Ferguson Not to mention that they can arrange it, as long as he is an outstanding defender, he can be included in reports about Manchester United.
"Did Lothar Matthäus have a conflict with his teammates, Arsène?"
one reporter asked.
The professor said angrily, "That's not true at all. Lothar is an important member of the team. Everyone in the locker room likes him."
Dejan Lu:...
The Lothar Matthäus in your mouth is a bit strange.
Dejan Lu I can guarantee that the professor is lying.
Whenever you say that he and his teammates have some minor problems, Dejan the Football King can barely believe it.
But to say that everyone in the locker room likes him is impossible!
The reporters were obviously aware of this and asked, "We previously photographed him pushing and shoving Merson during training. Isn't this true?"
Ferguson also looked at the professor expectantly, waiting to see the joke.
The professor frowned and said, "It's not like that, it's just that Paolo was more serious during training, and the two of them accidentally bumped into each other. I'm very happy that my players also showed the same attitude in training as in the game. I have nothing to say."
After speaking, the professor stood up and left immediately.
Clearly troubled by what happened in the locker room.
Ferguson answered a few more questions and left.
Dejan Lu, who returned to the locker room, imitated in a mocking tone. "I am very happy that my players have the same attitude in training as in the game. I have nothing more to say. See it Dejan, the French guy is lying."
Dejan Lu nodded.
Anyone with a player like Lothar Matthäus would not worry too much.
Even Beckenbauer.
Ferguson is obviously in a good mood.
The two returned to the locker room together.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Beckham leaning next to the sleeping Gary·Neville and singing "Happy Birthday to You".
Gary·Neville jumped from the bench and rolled to the ground, making a huge noise...
