The reporter asked, "Jazz, Pogba Premier League gave two assists in his first start. What do you think of his performance?"
Ferguson's tone became serious. "Pogba has a very good passing vision, and his ball control ability is also very good. My decision to start him was easy because his performance in training was good enough.
Two assists today, this is not luck, this is a reflection of his ability. Of course, he is only 18 years old and still needs to continue to grow, but I am very much looking forward to his future."
Reporter: "Then how do you evaluate Bolton's performance?"
Ferguson: "Actually, there are no problems with Bolton's player performance and tactical planning. The problem lies in the fact that they faced the Manchester United team.
In fact, I think there is no need to be frustrated, because a season is still long, and there are different plans for different opponents. Score points against opponents who can score points, and learn from strong teams. This is the most suitable way.
If you want to score points against a strong team, or even want to maintain dignity, to be honest, that is unless Bolton invests another 50 million to 100 million pounds.
Sometimes money is not all about money on the football field, but money is the key factor in determining the upper limit. It is difficult for a team worth 50 million to be decent with a team worth 400 million, unless the head coach of this team worth 400 million is incompetent."
Reporter: "This year Manchester United's midfielders and forwards were promoted from the team and recalled from loan. Is it because Manchester United doesn't have extra budget or can't find suitable players?"
Ferguson: "Yes, you have seen that Pogba, Cleverley, and Welbeck in our team are all excellent youth training players from Manchester United.
Among them, Cleverley and Welbeck performed very well in the team where they were both on loan last season, so the excellent players must be recalled for their own use.
As for Pogba, we originally planned to rent him out this season, but everyone knows that our midfield signings were blocked in the summer.
This obstacle is not that there are no suitable players, nor is it a lack of money. It is that the other party does not sell the players that it wants to buy, and even offers a price that far exceeds the market price. This is to refuse the players to come to Manchester United.
And other players found out in the end that they were not as good as Pogba, so why spend that money? Wouldn't it be better to train your own players?"
At this time, the reporter asked Zhang Kuang: "Jazz just said that he was curious about why your ability to score goals has improved this season. What is the reason? Can you tell us about it? Why doesn't even Jazz Ferguson know?"
Zhang Kuang was helpless. "Actually, there is nothing mysterious about this. To put it bluntly, it means that your ability to seize opportunities has become stronger. This is like your usual success rate of 70% when practicing shooting, but after you have been shooting for three years, your sensitivity to the timing of pulling the trigger has increased."
Reporter: "Then why do some players practice for many years, but their accuracy, strength, and timing are far behind your growth?"
Zhang Kuang: "This is talent. It's like mathematics. When a hundred people learn the same formula, you will find that some people can learn it in seconds, some people can learn it after three hours, some people can learn it after three days, and some people can't learn it after three years.
I'm the kind of person who suddenly realizes one day in training how to accelerate while advancing, change the rhythm, find the space to shoot, and seize the opportunity to shoot. It's that simple.
Of course, if you have to explain something, it's very difficult, because people can't explain talent. It's just like some people are born with four women and are fine, and some people can't get up after only two women."
"Haha..."
There was another burst of laughter.
Everyone got to this point because more than a year ago, Mario once challenged Zhang Kuang to fight four women at night.
Reporter: "What do you think of the opponent's performance today? How do you think they compare with Jordan Team? You praised Jordan Team as a strong team, but is Bolton a strong team?"
"Pfft, haha..." As soon as this question came out, many reporters at the scene laughed.
Zhang Kuang was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh. However, he suppressed his laughter.
Zhang Kuang: "It's different. I said Jordan Team is a strong team. I compared China Hong Kong Team with Jordan Team. But Bolton is now competing against team Manchester United. The comparison goals of the two are different and cannot be compared.
However, Bolton is not comparable to Manchester United, but it is much better than many clubs. After all, no matter how bad Bolton is, it is still the Premier League team, which is much better than EFL Championship, EFL League One and teams outside the five major leagues."
Reporter: "Which Bolton player impressed you the most today?"
Zhang Kuang: "Ah? This is not easy to evaluate, so I won't evaluate this."
Reporter: "..."
After the Manchester United team's press conference, the home team's general was interviewed.
Coyle looked livid at the press conference. "Today was bad, we lost by a big score, although some people would think it's okay for mid- and lower-tier teams to lose to the league leaders by a big score.
In fact, this is not good for the team's confidence when facing strong teams in the future. Although we formulated many strategies today, we neither restricted Zhang Kuang nor cut off Pogba's passing line.
There were a lot of mistakes in both individual defense and team defense. We will review this fiasco and adjust as soon as possible. The league is still very long. I have always been cultivating the team's confidence in facing strong teams. If the team does not build its confidence in strong teams, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Premier League for a long time in the future."
A reporter asked, "Do you think it is a matter of strategy or the status or ability of the players?"
"Both." Coyle answered simply, "But the biggest problem is that we lack an effective response plan when facing top players.
Zhang Kuang's performance today is worthy of a hat trick. He destroyed our defense by himself. Moreover, our players obviously had shortcomings in ability when defending him. Unfortunately, I did not use the most effective strategy to bring the shortcomings players together to form a synergy. This is something I need to continue to study."
Reporter: "Bolton What is your goal for this season?"
Coyle: "Of course it is to avoid relegation and then strive for the mid-table. If we can win a UEFA Europa League qualification, it will be the biggest success of this season."
Reporter: "..."

The media coverage after the game was overwhelming.
The title of "Manchester Evening News" reads, "Zhang Kuang's hat trick swept Reebok, young Pogba's two assists stunned Premier League's starting game".
The article analyzed in detail the formation operation of Manchester United in this game, with special emphasis on Pogba's schedule in the midfield and Zhang Kuang's impact on the left.
"China winger Zhang Kuang delivered a shocking performance of Premier League, with three goals and one assist, violent long-range shots, direct free kicks, and corner kick headers, three completely different ways of scoring.
The 18-year-old Pogba ushered in his first start as Premier League. He provided an assist in each half and showed his talent in long passes and corner kicks.
Manchester United's tactics were a great success. The trident and the new generation midfielder completely shredded Bolton's defense. Zhang Kuang and Pogba both became Manchester United's most watched players in this game.
Ferguson is very satisfied with the performance of his disciples, Rooney and Hernández also performed well, and Manchester United continues to occupy the top spot in the Premier League standings."
BBC Sport's post-match comments wrote, "Bolton's physical confrontation strategy was completely ineffective. Not only was Zhang Kuang's unstoppable side attack, but rookie Pogba's midfield scheduling and penetrating passes continued to tear apart Bolton's defense.
Zhang Kuang showed his strength in long-range shots, set-pieces, and high-altitude points. This was his personal show, and Pogba was the key driver behind the scenes.
Although Bolton had sporadic attacks throughout the game, they were unable to threaten De Gea. The 0-6 home defeat was the most painful defeat since Coyle took charge."
The title of "Bolton Evening News" is. "Reebok nightmare, Bolton defense line was completely penetrated".
"Bolton's defense in this game was full of loopholes. Zhang Kuang was repeatedly attacked from the wing. The team also underestimated the passing creativity of young Pogba.
The central defender is completely out of position when it comes to defending set pieces. Bolton has struggled to win in the league so far. Coyle must solve the team's defensive problems as soon as possible."
In Sky Sports's post-match score, Zhang Kuang received a perfect score of 10 points. There was only one comment. "An impeccable hat trick, three ways of scoring goals, showing the full arsenal of a super striker."
Pogba scored 8 points. The comment was. "Premier League made two assists in his first start. His passing vision is amazing. He is a supernova with a promising future."
Zhang Kuang continues to maintain the status of super three-goal information, so "Titan Sports" also has to eat Zhang Kuang's traffic. As for Zhang Kuang, which was criticized before?
Who still remembers that now they just want to sell more newspapers, and Zhang Kuang's news is sales, traffic, and advertising fees.
So their title is. "Zhang Kuang's hat-trick shocked England, the nineteen-year-old China winger is as legendary as he is".
"In this round, Premier League, Manchester United beat Bolton, China Player Zhang Kuang with a score of six to zero in the away game. Player Zhang Kuang scored a hat trick and sent an assist, scoring four goals.
It is worth mentioning that the one who contributed two assists to Zhang Kuang was the 18-year-old Manchester United youngster Paul·Pogba. This youngster was born in the Manchester United youth training and was promoted to the first team this summer due to Manchester United midfielder recruitment being blocked..."
"Sina Sports" title. "Three years of sharpening a sword, Zhang Kuang's talent needs no explanation"
"After the game, Zhang Kuang's metaphor that 'some people are born with four or five things, and some people can't get up with two' sparked heated discussions across the Internet.
But compared to jokes, what deserves more attention is his growth. For most of last season, he only averaged about 2 goals per game, but this season, he has averaged more than three goals per game many times in a row..."
"Hupu Football" title. "From just making soup to a hat-trick arsenal, how terrifying is the evolution of Zhang Kuang"
"Ming Pao" sports page title. "Zhang Kuang blew up Reebok with three goals, twenty-year-old data overwhelmed Messi of the same period"
"Apple Daily" real-time news title. "Zhang Kuang's hat trick sparked heated discussion, netizens: Messi is not so crazy even when he was twenty years old"
Japan's "Football Monthly" online version title. "China Twenty-year-old football superstar Premier League wears a hat again, and his scoring efficiency is surpassed by Messi at the same age"
"South Korea Sports Network" headline. "China star Zhang Kuang Bolton scored a hat trick, 17 goals in four league rounds. It feels like this is not scoring goals, but playing a numbers game!"
"South Korea In the Premier League match early this morning, China Player Zhang Kuang performed a hat trick, helping Manchester United beat Bolton six to zero.
Zhang Kuang has scored seventeen goals this season, while the total number of goals scored by the legendary star Messi in the league in the season when he was twenty years old was fourteen. South Korea fans have to admit that Asia football is giving birth to a world-class superstar."
South Korea portal fans comments
"Using the data from the first four rounds and the league goal ratio of Messi in the entire season... but according to the data, it is true that Zhang Kuang is better. This is a fact. Although I prefer Messi and don't like the shopkeeper's family, this neighbor's kid is indeed outstanding."
"Messi had injuries in the 07-08 season, and his position has not yet been established. But now Zhang Kuang is the absolute ace of Manchester United. It is unfair to compare. If Messi back then had the position of Zhang Kuang now in Manchester United, it is not necessarily who has better information!"
"When will South Korea produce a player of Zhang Kuang's level... To be honest, no defender can stop Asia now."
After the game of "Titan Sports", a commentator wrote on Weibo:
"We are used to one generation looking up to one name, but Zhang Kuang is telling the world that a new name has arrived.
The twenty-year-old Messi is a genius, and the twenty-year-old Zhang Kuang is also a genius. Even from the data, Zhang Kuang's talent has exploded during the same period. This is not to praise and criticize, but to put the facts under the sun so that everyone can see them.
But now there are still people comparing Messi with Zhang Kuang. Do you think these two are still players of the same level?"
"Marca" saw someone on the Internet comparing Zhang Kuang's four-round league data with Messi's goals in the entire 20-year-old season, and they were dissatisfied:
"It is foolish to compare Zhang Kuang's twenty-year-old information with Messi's twenty-year-old information. Messi's career is continuous, while Zhang Kuang has just started. When he reaches the age of twenty-four and can maintain this level, it will not be too late to start again."
Fans with Zhang Kuang responded online with a killer response:
"Wait until Zhang Kuang turns twenty-four? Then you first admit that Messi is better at twenty than Zhang Kuang at twenty. Let's talk about twenty-four years later."
"..."
Zhang Kuang has a big head, why are he facing Messi again?
Forget it, ignore it, do as you like.
Next, let's play the game with peace of mind.
