Chapter 366 Happiness is all about comparison

The time came to August 1998, 8, the opening of the new Premier League season.

Ferguson sat on the coach's bench, watching the court with a gloomy face.

The last piece of the puzzle for Manchester United in the new season, Nedved rejected Manchester United.

And Arsenal's negotiations to introduce Zidane have entered the final stage. It is said that the Frenchman's transfer fee will reach 3500 million pounds, and Juventus has allowed the midfielder core of the new world champion to negotiate treatment with Arsenal.

If this transfer is finalized, then Arsenal will have a world-class striker and a champion midfielder, plus those old guys on the back line, this year's Arsenal will definitely be difficult to play.

In fact, Ferguson began to pay attention to the French three years ago. When Zidane expressed his willingness to transfer two years ago, Manchester United immediately received a notice from his agent, and Juventus were also watching.

Ferguson hesitated again and again and decided to give up the transfer, because Zidane was not suitable for Manchester United's system. If he came to the team, he would have to adjust the lineup to 3-5-2.

Then Juventus only spent 350 million Champions League to get this young man who had begun to lose his top. Lippi and Ferguson had the same views on his use.

Juventus either set up two defensive midfielders behind Zidane, or put two muscle sticks on the two sides, and fight with their opponents in the midfield.

Sometimes Lippi also put Zidane on the left, and he became a midfielder with a kick.

Of course, it is impossible for Ferguson to leave the wing to a technical player with ordinary explosive power, and it is impossible for him to put Giggs on the bench.

There are 1 Hamlets in the hearts of 1 people. In the eyes of the Manchester United coach, the best combination for the current team is Keane and Nedved.

Putting this pair of midfielders together, they have the skill and the physicality to play both against the Spanish side and against the muscular clubs of the league.

But now everything is in vain. Ferguson just thinks about the midfield of Zidane and Vieira, and the forward line of Weah, Vieri, Bergkamp, ​​Anelka and Ian Wright.

He couldn't stand this Frenchman who quickly found the vein of winning after only two years in the Premier League.

More importantly, the French connections in Wenger's hands are unmatched by him.

Although he also has the network resources of the British Isles in his hand, the quality of the French players is better than that of the British Isles, and the African players in the French area are also indispensable and precious resources.

It can be seen from the performance of the Nigerian team in the World Cup that a fighting African team is enough to compete with Spain.

After the game started, Ferguson was still silent, he always felt uncomfortable.

Obviously Manchester United has just won the Champions League, and Lazio's status in Serie A cannot be compared with Manchester United in the Premier League. As long as the Czechs can come to Manchester United, I dare not say anything else, and there will be no opponents in the Premier League within five years.

Beckham was sitting in the auditorium not far from the venue. When he saw Ferguson with a gloomy face, he knew exactly what the other party was thinking.

He consulted Old John, who said that the Czech midfielder is very strong, and he has been underestimated by everyone for a long time.

Seeing the old man's distraught look when he couldn't get him, Beckham once again felt that his old man really had something.

The start of the game, today Manchester United out of York and Husky's Black Wind Shuangsha.

Although the start of the Premier League season is just around the corner and there are strong enemies around, the old man is still calm. Beckham, Shearer and Gary are all sitting in the audience.

The Manchester United coach said to let them rest, he must give them enough time to adjust.

The fans at Old Trafford were so enthusiastic they overwhelmed the visiting fans from the start.

The home team fans took turns cheering rhythmically so that the Leicester fans couldn't even make a sound, and they were always suppressed in the singing of the home team fans.

If the battle between fans is the same, Manchester United also suppressed the visiting team at home.

In the 23rd minute of the game, Heskey opened the scoring for the home team. After receiving a cross from Ryan Giggs, he also hit the sky at the back point, directly piercing the opponent's entire defense.

1 is better than 0!

Manchester United fans rejoiced, and Beckham waved his fists along with the fans.

Not far away, Ferguson's face softened a little.

For a head coach, the opening game went smoothly, and even a bad mood can be adjusted.

But things are not as easy as imagined, Leicester City is not a lamb at the slaughter.

Historically, this team has always had the tradition of piecing together a group of unknown origins into a capable team, and later even created a feat no less than the "Miracle of Kaiserslautern".

After conceding the goal, the visiting players not only did not lose confidence, but they played bloody. They rushed on the field and used five midfielders to overwhelm Keane and Scholes in the middle.

At the end of the first half, Leicester City scored with a header from a set ball. They bought a 1 meter center forward from Jamaica. His skills were rough and he didn't look very smart, but he had strong jumping ability.

I heard that this buddy originally wanted to change his life by playing basketball, but because he played too late, his body was not very flexible.

But a scout from Leicester discovered his amazing jumping and aerial confrontation ability. He was brought to the youth training at the age of 15 to eat a small amount of food. After practicing for four years, he turned into an air fighter.

No way, Leicester can't compete with those traditional strong teams in England, so they can only find another way to find players.

In the locker room, Beckham could see that the old man was very angry. He even almost turned on the "hair dryer" a few times, but he tried his best to endure it, and finally he didn't have an attack.

But it doesn't matter whether he has an attack or not, because the entire locker room felt his anger.

There was an outrage for no reason.
Back on the court, Manchester United players are generally in good condition. They all know that if they fail to win Leicester City in the first round, it will undoubtedly be a big blow to the players.

In the past two months, Manchester United has been praised too much, which unintentionally created a lot of pressure on the players.

Just as Manchester United formed a siege, Leicester scored another goal through a defensive counterattack.

1 is better than 2!

Beckham could clearly see that the old man's veins were twitching. If he was defeated by a mid-range ball in the first round of the league, the subsequent games would be unimaginable.

According to Ferguson's vision, if he wants to win the championship, he can only lose 3 games at most in a season, and he must win 23 games.

Only if you score more than 80 points in the league can you hope to win the championship. With an opponent like Arsenal, no one knows how many points you have to score this season to win the championship.

If you lose the first game, how difficult this season will be.

In the next game, Manchester United aggressively attacked, and Leicester City did not blindly defend. The two teams had fierce physical confrontation in most parts.

The fans exclaimed, and even Beckham embraced it.

It turns out that this is how it feels to watch teammates play football from the perspective of a fan. This is the first time in his career that he did not make the big list but still has a well-thought-out game.

Manchester United played until 82 minutes to equalize, this time it was Yorke who scored.

He received an inverted triangle pass from Giggs and scored. The Welshman passed 3 people in a row and chose a cross when he was about to face the goalkeeper, which surprised everyone.

Seeing this, Beckham suddenly had a premonition, whether Giggs desperately collected assists for happiness last season, and finally developed the habit of assists subconsciously.

Beckham shook his head with a smile. This matter sounds really funny, and no one knows whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

At the end of the game, Manchester United was tied by Leicester City in the first round of the league, which really made people panic.

The reason why they panicked was because everyone saw the old man holding back his anger again.

The old man's feeling of erupting at any time makes people very uneasy. Instead of this, it's better to forget about the eruption and try to be quiet.

On the third day after the end of the first round of the league, Beckham saw the news of Juventus and Zidane's contract renewal from the newspaper.

This news shows that the talks between Arsenal and the French core have collapsed.

When he came to the training base, Beckham found that Ferguson was completely different from before.

The old man always had a smile on his face, which made him look amiable and positive, and he could immediately attract the attention of the whole team with just a word.

He turned back into the familiar old man in Beckham's heart.

The changes in the old man are enough to show that happiness is all about comparison.

Everyone had a frustrating transfer and nobody got paid.
