Chapter 243 The Person Ferguson Saw
Since the restructuring of the Premier League in the 1992/93 season, a total of six teams have won the Premier League championship.

Among them, Manchester United has won 13 Premier League trophies and is the most successful club since the reform of the Premier League.

After Ferguson retired, Manchester United's performance took a sharp turn for the worse.

In the 13-14 season, seventh in the league, Moyes dismissed get out of class midway.

In the 14-15 season, after Van Gaal took office, he ranked fourth in the league.

Currently, they rank fifth with 59 points.

There is a 4-point gap from No.5 Manchester City.

If you want to participate in the Champions League next season, you must win all the remaining games, and it depends on the results of Manchester City's games. The initiative is not in your hands.

The Red Devils Manchester United, who once dominated Europe, are now lining up at Old Trafford to welcome the birth of the seventh Premier League champion. I don't know what it feels like.

At the La Trafford Stadium on May 5, the home fans walked into the stadium with mixed emotions.

The team buses of both sides drove up one after another. When the players of Leicester City got off the bus, the fans in blue jerseys raised their hands and shouted in unison.

"The champion belongs to Leicester City".

While the players on both sides were warming up, familiar figures appeared one after another in the "sky box" of the Manchester United North Stand.

Van Nistelrooy, Gary Neville, Scholes, David Beckham, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Schmeichel Sr., these former Manchester United players, all came to the scene.

Not only that, Henry also appeared on the scene.

After seeing Van Nistelrooy, he took out 100 pounds from his pocket.

This is a bet between the two.

After a few pleasantries, there was a burst of applause from the home court.

Sir Alex Ferguson appeared at Old Trafford.

The meritorious coach who once brought Manchester United infinite glory is now gray-haired.

But the majesty in the eyes still makes the fans respect.

Van Nistelrooy, Beckham and others stood up in awe and came forward to say hello.

Looking at these former children, Ferguson also smiled slightly.

"Rud, you are also a coach now, you have to make some achievements."

"David, how are you doing recently, don't always focus on your business, and return to football occasionally."

"Gary, how does the TV work?"

"Ole, I heard that you intend to come back to Manchester United."

"Peter, your son is amazing. He, like you, also works miracles."

……

Regarding the movements of his disciples after retiring, Ferguson was so precious that they were very moved.

"Let's see, the new Premier League champions."

At the last sentence, Ferguson smiled slightly bitterly.

Before the kick-off, according to the usual practice, there will be a welcome ceremony for the team that wins the championship in advance.

The Manchester United players and the referee team lined up in two teams to welcome the Leicester City players.

Although unwilling, it also shows Manchester United's respect for football culture.

Amid the applause, the captain of the game, Andy King, led the caddy and walked out of the player channel.

As the veteran of the team, he is qualified to lead the team and accept the applause of the Manchester United team and fans.

He also set a new record for a player to win the League One, Championship and Premier League titles at the same time on behalf of a club.

Premier League overlord Manchester United lined up to welcome new champions Leicester City.

What a proud thing this is.

After the welcome ceremony, the match between the two teams officially began.

The only competition left for Manchester United this season is the FA Cup.

In the league, they also have to sprint to reach the Champions League.

Van Gaal played in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Goalkeeper De Gea.

The defense line is followed by Rojo, Blind, Smalling and Valencia.

The double midfielders are Carrick and Fellaini.

The three midfielders are Martial, Rooney and Lingard.

The striker is Rashford.

Leicester City made three adjustments to the starting lineup.

First, Ulloa replaced the suspended Vardy.

Andy King replaced Drinkwater in the starting lineup.

Schlupp replaced Albrighton as a left midfielder.

At the whistle of referee Michael Oliver, the game officially began.

For Leicester City, this game is very easy.

Having already won the championship three rounds ahead of schedule, it is enough for them to just enjoy the process of the game.

But the Manchester United players have the heavy pressure of the Champions League, and the burden on the head coach Van Gaal is also very heavy.

In his two seasons in charge, the club has invested more than 3 million pounds, but nothing has been achieved.

If Manchester United loses the qualification for the Champions League next season, Van Gaal will definitely resign from the position of head coach.

At the beginning of the game, the Manchester United team quickly formed frontcourt pressure and counter-robbing.

In Van Gaal's tactical philosophy, total defense has always been the core of the whole, which requires the team to run diligently to achieve the purpose of oppression.

And Leicester City happens to be a team that is not good at holding the ball in the midfield, and the possession of the ball is quickly lost.

Manchester United switched from defense to offense, and full-back Valencia would advance to the midfield.

But his task is not just to attack, but to pull the side in the midfield, cooperate with the winger on the side, and advance the offense.

Van Gaal doesn't like to start layer by layer from the ground, but prefers a faster and more direct attacking rhythm.

When the offense is blocked on one side, through the use of the horizontal space of the court, the opponent's defensive formation can be continuously torn apart.

The reason why Ranieri replaced Schlupp with a stronger defensive ability on the left was to use his defensive coverage ability to quickly supplement the defense.

In the 8th minute, Manchester United made a long pass from the backcourt and directly found Fellaini's head, using his advantage to compete for the top to build a turret for the winger and center.

Huth is responsible for defending him. He is of similar height and is the most capable player to limit Fellaini.

But Fellaini still relied on his own advantages to top the ball to Rooney next to him.

If Lu Xiaopang is allowed to turn around with the ball and face the goal, it will be a considerable threat.

Kanter stepped forward immediately, blocking the opponent's turning line.

Unable to turn around, Rooney gets the ball in the ribs and will be double-teamed, which is very dangerous.

He quickly passed to Valencia who went forward.

boom!
After receiving the ball, Valencia passed the ball directly to the goal without stopping. Fellaini took off from the double-team with difficulty, but unfortunately he missed the ball.

At the back point, Martial controlled the ball when it was about to roll out of the touchline, and looked for opportunities to break through the cross.

But Leicester City's defense quickly covered it, causing him to pass back to the midfielder Carrick, who continued to be responsible for transferring the organization.

The "big circle tactics" slowly rolled out again.

Manchester United switched back and forth between the left and the right, with a high point in the middle to assist the team to shift the attacking direction.

For this "big circle tactics", Ferguson did not say much.

What he paid attention to was Van Gaal's three-back system.

After Valencia advanced, the three central defenders assumed the team's defensive tasks.

The three are on the back line, not only able to shoulder the task of passing the ball in the backcourt.

You can also use your body for fierce confrontation and air defense.

But the only thing missing is mobility.

Once Leicester City's counterattack penetrates the midfield defense, the flexible and fast counterattack group composed of Ulloa, Rossi, Mahrez and Schlupp will face the slow defense of the three.

In the 18th minute, after Manchester United's header was confiscated by the goalkeeper, Schmeichel threw the ball and quickly launched a counterattack.

Kanter dribbled the ball forward quickly, passed Rooney's defense, faced Lingard who was coming head-on, and quickly distributed it to the right.

At this time, Manchester United's offensive personnel are all concentrated on the wing, and Carrick is the only one in the middle circle.

Mahrez observed the huge vacuum in the middle, and the ball hit the middle directly without stopping the ball, giving it to Andy King who inserted in the back.

The center is completely empty, but Manchester United's defense remains intact.

Carrick can fill in the backline, or he can go up and block Andy King's advancing or passing lanes.

But Leicester City, who are good at counterattacks, will never stick to the ball in the midfield.

Andy King stopped the ball with his left foot in front of the right, and pushed the ball forward with his right foot.

This stop pass reflects his excellent basic skills.

If you stop the ball with your right foot first, then you need to adjust one step when you want to pass the ball.

And this step will delay the team's opportunity.

Andy King's through ball penetrated Carrick, who had not had time to form a defense, and passed behind the central defender.

Rossi made a quick start, succeeded in anti-offside, got rid of Smalling's defense in an instant, and entered the penalty area.

Facing the attacking De Gea, without any hesitation, Rossi pushed with his right foot and hit a half-high push, which crossed De Gea's defense and got into the far corner of the goal.

[GOAL! ! ! ! ! 】

[The ball has scored! 】

[Leicester City's first counterattack penetrated the gate guarded by De Gea. 】

[Rossi's running position left Manchester United's entire defense behind, and he calmly pushed in front of the goal, so calm and calm. 】

[When Rossi was single-handedly, I had a premonition that he would score. 】

The Manchester United fans at home may have been used to such scenes, and their expressions did not change much.

Perhaps they also recognized the super strength of Leicester City in their hearts.

The broadcast camera, after Rossi scored, was also aimed at Ferguson and the former Manchester United stars in the box for the first time.

They looked different, obviously falling behind was a very sad thing for them.

Ferguson chewed his gum and said suddenly: "As a player, what do you think of that number 24?"

Everyone was taken aback.

Once Ferguson asked about a certain player, he became very interested in him.

Rossi, in other words, has his approval.
