Chapter 584: Nuclear Warheads Cannot Defeat Dongfeng Missiles After All

( ) In the 146th Manchester Derby, Manly won its 60th victory in history. The significance of taking all 3 points was not only to defeat their rivals in the same city, but also to give Ferguson and his team the "taste" of the Premier League championship.

At the post-match press conference, Ferguson said: "Manchester United played very well. Our state can be described as terrifying. I am very satisfied."

Since the match between Chelsea and Arsenal takes place 24 hours later, Manchester United's victory will increase their points difference with the Blues to 7 points. Although Chelsea has 1 game less, theoretically it is possible for them to reduce the disadvantage to 4 points. However, Sir Alex Ferguson said before the game that no matter how the game compares, Manchester United really has the points in their hands, while Chelsea is undecided. Undoubtedly, the 7-point gap will put greater mental pressure on the Chelsea people, which is something Manchester United is very willing to see.

"The control is largely in the hands of Manchester United. I hope the team can grasp it. Why not? I don't see any reason." Ferguson said.

Talking about this Manchester City derby, Ferguson praised the performance of both sides: "We created many excellent scoring opportunities, but we also encountered shocking moments. Manchester City is very strong and we must deal with it with all our strength. The game against Manchester City is always There will be a lot of difficulties. Van der Sar made two great saves and he ensured the victory for Manchester United."

"Of course, Dong and Ronaldo's performance can be described as perfect. Ryan also had an extraordinary performance on this day when he was 33 years old. His performance was consistent with his age. He should play an active leading role in the team. He is already a legend and will probably become the most capped player for Manchester United."

Ferguson implicitly expressed his dissatisfaction with Giggs' former sister-in-law. As a veteran player, he should play a positive and leading role instead of having negative news flying all over the place. Now that Rooney is in the team, the situation is somewhat similar to Giggs...

For other Manchester United teammates, the local derby against Manchester City may be just an ordinary league game, but for Giggs it has extraordinary significance - this is the 688th time the 33-year-old Welshman has played for Manchester United. , tied with his predecessor Fulkes in the number of appearances for the club, and is now only behind Bobby Charlton, who holds the record of 759 appearances for Manchester United.

Considering that Giggs, who has made 16 appearances so far this season, currently has 18 months left on his contract with the club, and is still expected to extend it for another year, it seems that it is only a matter of time before he sets a new record for the number of appearances for Manchester United.

At least in Sir Alex Ferguson's view, this is almost a definite fact: "This is a very realistic goal for Giggs. At the moment, he is only 71 games behind Sir Charlton, and his physical condition is still good. Of course, He needs to change some of the way he plays to extend his athletic life, such as recycling more into the middle of the field instead of continuing to fly up and down the wing, which we have been trying to do during this period."

At present, the only veterans in the team who entered the Manchester United first team with Giggs are Gary Neville and midfielder Scholes.

However, the two currently have only 525 and 510 club appearances respectively. In comparison, entering the "600-game club" as soon as possible is a more realistic goal.

The implication of Ferguson's words is that he will continue to support Giggs and support him to continue playing for Manchester United. The player's private life cannot affect his use of Giggs.

Then Ferguson brought the topic back to the game.

Manchester City's offense was dominant for a time, especially in the first half of the game. Manchester City occupied 57.2% of the home team's frontcourt. Ferguson also admitted that his players were a little slow, but after Manchester City pulled a goal back: "When the game came to a critical point, At this moment, the players showed strong confidence and successfully maintained the victory."

In 24 hours, the two largest clubs in the Premier League, Chelsea and Arsenal, will collide at Stamford Bridge. Ferguson said before the game that he would rather watch a Scottish League game, but now he has changed his mind. Sir Alex Ferguson said that he will be Arsenal for a day. fan!

"We can watch the game with a relaxed mood and support the Gunners. It will be a tough game, a difficult matchup because both teams have a lot of quality."

"I hope that after the battle at Stamford Bridge, Manchester United will be in a more favorable position." Ferguson finally said his true words.

Regarding the competition between Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo on the scorer list, Ferguson said optimistically: "Obviously, this is a good thing. If you observe carefully, the two people assist each other the most in the team. The two of them complement each other and reach In order to maximize the benefits. I think there are few players who have a more tacit understanding of cooperation than them. If Rooney can be added, it will be even more perfect. Compared with these two perverts, Rooney's goals are still inferior. A little bit……"

A day later, Ferguson sat in the team meeting room with almost all the Manchester United players to watch the match between Chelsea and Arsenal.

Such a scene is very rare, especially for Ferguson, who would never sit in front of the TV with the players to watch the game before...

At 00:00 on December 11th, Beijing time (16:00 on the 10th, UK local time), a focus battle in the 17th round of the 2006/07 English Premier League started at Stamford Bridge Stadium. Chelsea faced Arsenal at home.

The game was very boring, with neither side getting any good shooting opportunities.

The first half ended in a 0:0 draw.

When Arsenal's Flamini scored Chelsea's goal 4 meters in front of the goal in the 78th minute of the second half, the Manchester United conference room instantly erupted.

"Aha!"

"This time I can say goodbye to Chelsea."

The faces of the Manchester United soldiers showed joy. If Chelsea loses the game at home, then Manchester United will really lead by 7 points.

However, Chelsea equalized the score in the 84th minute. Robben and Lampard passed the ball continuously. Essien shot from 25 yards with the outside of his right foot. The ball hit the left post and entered the net.

The two teams ended up tied.

"Six points is not bad, at least there is a gap of two and a half games." Ferguson was still very satisfied. Why is it said two and a half games instead of two games? Because Manchester United has scored many more goals than Chelsea, Chelsea's offensive power cannot compare with Manchester United. It is obviously too difficult for Mourinho to even the goal difference.

And just after the game, disharmony broke out in Chelsea's forward line.

Shevchenko said in an interview with the "Daily Mail" that he could not adapt to Mourinho's technical and tactical style of play. He is eager to return to Serie A, even if it means renting back to the former AC Milan...

The Ukrainian nuclear warhead has been in the Premier League for half a season, and it is not satisfactory at all...

"After all, nuclear warheads cannot compete with Dongfeng missiles. The acclimatized Shevchenko is likely to leave London, and Chelsea is also likely to lose the league championship." The Times also expressed some emotion.

"If the two people switch teams, maybe the result will be different. Dong is still strong under Mourinho, and Shevchenko may also kill everyone at Manchester United, but who knows, this thing is impossible to happen. …”
