Chapter 539: The estrangement between father and son, the Red Devils are trying to make ends meet!
Leeds United will go away to challenge Manchester United at the weekend.
The Rose Derby is here.
At the pre-match press conference before the weekend's battle, Fleet Street predictably asked Shen Hao his opinion on this year's Ballon d'Or selection.
Shen Hao said lightly: "This year's Ballon d'Or selection has become special. It is no longer a jury composed of professional reporters from "France Football", but FIFA. The jury has also expanded to include national teams around the world.
The change in the selection mechanism makes me question the professionalism, but I also respect this change, because football itself is certainly not absolutely rational.
In terms of personal honors and team honors, the best stars in the past season, I think the players who can enter the top three are Kaká, Sneijder, and Robben.
No matter who of the three ends up winning the Ballon d'Or, I think the result is reasonable.
And if these three people hadn't won the Golden Globe Award, then I think the changes to the Golden Globe Award would have been questioned even more.
Of course, you can say that this is my bias, and it doesn't matter. The world's largest sport, with billions of fans around the world, everyone has their own opinions and positions.
As for whether everyone has a position first and then an opinion, or whether everyone has an opinion first and then a position.
It doesn't matter either.
As I said before, when the selection mechanism expands from professional journalists to national teams around the world, it cannot be viewed purely from a professional perspective. There must be irrational voting. "
In fact, the jury of "France Football" may not be absolutely fair and objective.
This world can never pursue absolute justice, but what the world can compromise and accept is relative fairness.
Those professional journalists with voting rights from all over the world certainly have a position.
Just don’t lose your judgment and show your professionalism in your voting.
For example, in the past ten years, Brazilian reporters will definitely give Ronaldo a vote.
As for whether the first vote among the three votes should be given to Ronaldo with the highest score, or the last vote with the lowest score, it depends on Ronaldo's performance.
If Ronaldo doesn't even play many games this season, he will definitely not vote for it and will give it to other Brazilian stars who perform well.
The same situation will also occur with reporters in France, Italy and other countries. As long as they have stars who perform well, they will definitely keep more or less votes.
Basically, the star with the most eye-catching performance will get enough votes to win the Golden Globe Award.
This is a sign of professionalism.
Only in years when players strive to win the Champions League or major competitions but do not perform as a first-class star, will there be a Mr. Ballon d'Or who is not very convincing.
For example, in 2001, Owen had no Champions League or league championship. He was successfully elected as Mr. Ballon d'Or based on a bunch of worthless cup championships and his stable scoring efficiency.
That's because the 2001 Champions League champion Bayern Munich was entirely a team success, rather than a star carrying the team forward or having an extraordinary explosive performance on a team basis.
Also in 2004, Porto became the Champions League champion as a dark horse, while Greece wrote the Aegean legend in the European Cup.
Neither of the two championship teams had an absolute superstar at the time, and Deco only ranked second in the Ballon d'Or selection.
Also because the personal reputation of the championship team that year was too weak, Ronaldinho, who failed to win the four major awards, did not even make the top three in the Ballon d'Or, but was subsequently elected as the World Footballer.
Shen Hao named three names.
He is happy whoever is elected.
As the head coach of Leeds United, he can canvass votes for Sneijder and Robben, and he definitely has something to say to the Dutch fans.
Master and apprentice are worthy of each other, and they have created great achievements together.
Fleet Street turned the conversation back to the Rose Derby.
Shen Hao looked forward to the game and said: "Regardless of strength and weakness, Manchester United and Leeds United are the undefeated teams in the Premier League so far in the new season. Manchester United has 6 wins and 7 draws, and Leeds United has 10 wins and 3 draws.
Leeds United leads Manchester United by 8 points, which is a very obvious gap.
But this is also a reflection of the gap in hard power between the two teams.
As a bitter rival, I still admire Ferguson's coaching ability.
When there were voices within Manchester United that questioned the team's ambitions, Ferguson was still able to keep Manchester United in good shape. This also made me realize that there is still a lot to learn.
But after all, we are mortal enemies, so if we want to talk about strength, of course Leeds United is stronger.
Now the situation has completely changed.
In the past, when Leeds drew with Manchester United, people would feel sorry for Manchester United.
Now, if Leeds United fail to beat Manchester United, it will be me who will be humiliated by you in the headlines.
It puts pressure on me, but of course I will pass that pressure on to my team.
Leeds United players should be more aware that in England we should be invincible and invincible.
If we don’t win, it’s our failure! "
Leeds United has many young players, and simply focusing on ability growth is definitely not enough.
It is also necessary to implant and shape the strength that a hegemon should have in their thinking and psychology.
Football matches are nothing more than three outcomes.
Victory, draw, defeat.
But there are only two in Leeds' dictionary.
Winning and not winning.
In addition to winning, a result of not winning is unacceptable.
Ferguson has indeed encountered some internal troubles recently.
After Ronaldo left, Manchester United's banner must have fallen on Rooney's shoulders.
And what impact will the addition of Hernandez and Smalling in the summer transfer market have on Manchester United's morale?
Will fans be full of ambitions because of these two transfers?
Will you look back at the top lineups in the Premier League and increase your confidence in Manchester United's championship?
Obviously, no!
Rooney also had a similar view.
He couldn't be excited about the joining of Hernandez, and he was even more dismissive of Smalling, whose strength was not recognized.
Just as Real Madrid wanted to poach Gerrard in the summer, how could a star of Rooney's level go unnoticed?
Although the offensive from Manchester City makes it difficult to correctly judge whether Manchester City wants to interfere with Manchester United or show its strong financial resources, or whether it is simply to weaken its mortal enemy and strengthen itself on a competitive level.
But one thing is for sure, Manchester City is tempting Rooney. Manchester City is getting stronger year by year. Before the start of the new season, Manchester City is still a strong championship contender in Fleet Street.
It was not until the nightmare start of the team led by Mancini that this voice gradually disappeared.
Rooney's doubts about Manchester United are natural: In the past, I worked with Ronaldo and Tevez. Now that the club has sold them all, who are they bringing in?
Will Rooney be willing to use his youth in the next three to five years to accompany Ferguson to rebuild Manchester United again?
In the last cycle of reconstruction, Manchester United's best results were the league runner-up and the Champions League runner-up.
They lost to the same opponent, the mortal enemy Bai Yi!
Rooney's doubts about Manchester United and his plans for the future are seen by Fleet Street as a means to increase his salary.
Whether true or false, at least Manchester United is internally unstable.
...
At the weekend, Leeds United were guests in Manchester.
Theater of Dreams, Old Trafford.
When Shen Hao walked out of the tunnel exit at the bottom corner of the stadium, Manchester United fans once again burst into deafening boos and insults at him.
Shen Hao complimented Ferguson before the game, but also belittled Manchester United.
Now if Leeds United cannot beat Manchester United, they will indeed become the target of trouble in Fleet Street.
This is a change in status.
And what if Manchester United beat Leeds?
Maybe Manchester United will be eulogized in Fleet Street.
Those Red Devils fans who booed Shen Hao and hated him to the core may also fall into the madness of winning a championship after the victory.
But generally speaking, life for Manchester United fans has become increasingly difficult over the years.
In the eyes of the outside world, Shen Hao's arrival in the Premier League overturned the situation.
Not in the eyes of Manchester United fans.
It was the Glazer family that brought Manchester United to this point.
Since the Glazer family came to Manchester United, Manchester United first began to fall behind in team building costs.
After a long period of accumulation, their competitiveness will naturally decline.
Manchester United has three major rivals in the Premier League.
In the past, whether it was Liverpool, Manchester City or Leeds United, they ignored them.
What now?
Leeds United is the king and has long been riding on Manchester United's head.
Although the number of Premier League championship trophies is not as good as Manchester United.
But the number of Champions League trophies has exceeded Manchester United!
And Manchester City is visibly getting stronger year by year, and has grown to the point where it is almost threatening them.
If Liverpool hadn't declined since last year and entered a trough, Manchester United fans would have wanted to die.
Shen Hao understands the changes in the emotions and mentality of Manchester United fans.
But it also feels natural.
Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.
In the past, when Manchester United was domineering, Manchester United fans were the happiest fans in the Premier League.
The good days have gone too long, and the bad days are indeed difficult to bear.
But what can I do if I don’t endure it?
Ferguson entered the scene with a bit of solemnity.
The tyrant in white made it difficult for him to sleep and eat well.
Shen Hao gives advice? He can accept it.
Disparaging Manchester United? He can understand it too.
Because this is the norm for winners.
During his years as the dominant player in the Premier League, he was even more disdainful of his arch-rivals Liverpool.
But the tyrant in white is adding fuel to the fire at Manchester United by revealing its internal problems.
This is what will kill.
Before this year, he and Wayne Rooney had a long-standing relationship of fatherly love and filial piety.
He will always defend Rooney, no matter whether Rooney is involved in controversy during the game or his private life is a mess off the field and attracts negative public opinion.
Ferguson stood firmly in front of Rooney to shield him from the wind and rain.
But now things are starting to change subtly.
Such an important game today, the Rose Derby!
Rooney did not enter the starting lineup, but sat on the bench.
Ferguson wanted Rooney to calm down and reactivate his fighting spirit. The pressure from him was a provocation in front of Rooney.
The response Rooney needs to make is that if he is given time and opportunities, he must perform better on the court.
It was not only a fight back against Ferguson, but also a fight back against myself.
Shen Hao glanced at Manchester United's bench and saw Rooney with an expressionless face.
He has no interest in Rooney.
Leeds United are currently not short of strikers.
He was just observing, learning, watching how Ferguson dealt with Rooney.
Well, let’s not talk about training.
Rooney is 25 years old.
Normal people have matured mentally long ago.
What's more, he has a career of nearly ten years.
His experience and accumulated experience in club and national team are much richer than those of ordinary players.
Just as there are countless young players in this football world who are eager to join the tyrant in white, what do they want?
Of course it's a success.
own success!
Wasn't Rooney and Ferguson's honeymoon period not such a relationship?
When Ferguson cannot give Rooney what he wants, there will inevitably be cracks in the relationship between the two.
Let's see how Ferguson cleans up the situation that now makes Red Devils fans feel uneasy.
Perhaps Ferguson will use his extraordinary management experience and methods to let Shen Hao learn something from others.
The atmosphere at Old Trafford is electric.
The starting players of both teams made their debut.
Manchester United started with 433.
Goalkeeper: Edwin van der Sar.
Defenders: Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra.
Midfielder: Fletcher, Park Ji-sung, Carrick.
Forwards: Nani, Hernandez, Macheda.
Red Devils fans are puzzled by this starting lineup.
Although Macheda has had surprising performances in the past two seasons, it is only a flash in the pan.
Otherwise, he should have secured his main position long ago.
Rooney sat on the bench.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ferguson was engaging in a silent confrontation with Rooney.
But you also have to distinguish the occasion clearly.
Rose Derby, a battle between mortal enemies!
Moreover, the strength of Leeds United determines that this contest will be Manchester United's most important contest this season.
If there is any game more important than this contest, it must be the Champions League life and death battle.
Leeds United started 433.
Goalkeeper: Neuer.
Defenders: Kyle Walker, Thiago Silva, Hummels, Baines.
Midfielder: Kante, Kaka, Modric.
Forwards: Gareth Bale, Suarez, Deisler.
Shen Hao glanced at Manchester United's starting lineup and withdrew his gaze.
Wonder Boy Macheda?
There is nothing to look forward to in the future.
But after experiencing the Harry Kane incident in midweek, Shen Hao really took the time to scan the youth teams of each Premier League team.
I discovered that there is a player named Paul Pogba in the Manchester United youth team who has great potential.
But he is too young and plays in midfield.
The midfield position is very critical.
For example, Shen Hao was very careful when training Kanter last season, and he had to protect him technically and tactically and create an environment for him to perform better.
A wealthy family must have a few young talents.
On the other hand, Sterling, the young genius introduced by Liverpool half a year ago, does not belong to the unknown type.
He's not even 16 yet and Leeds United have no interest in competing.
Shen Hao likes geniuses, but he doesn't like geniuses who are already being sought after before their minds are mature.
The referee blows the whistle to start the game.
Leeds United and Manchester United, the bitter rivals, didn't have any temptations and went right from the start.
But neither team could organize a threatening offensive.
Leeds United attacked hard but failed to press.
Manchester United did not defend against counterattacks, but fought for every inch of ground.
From the striker to the midfield, he actively started the confrontation with Leeds United.
Scenes of hand-to-hand fighting constantly appeared in the fierce fight.
Ferguson stared at the field with a somewhat gloomy look.
Long pass?
Fake!
Fleet Street is a ruin.
Shen Hao is in high spirits, Manchester United is Manchester United!
It’s not a new approach, but it definitely combines its own characteristics with its technical and tactical traditions.
Manchester United tried to focus on disrupting and disrupting Leeds' attacking structure.
Anyway, I’m definitely not a coward!
Shen Hao has already thought of the core of Manchester United's style of play.
However, he did not make conservative adjustments.
He hopes to use Manchester United to test Leeds United's strength in controlling the field!
