Chapter 158 From the field to the field, from the coach to the players, the atmosphere is full of gunpowder! (Second update)
Amid the surging red crowd, a group of Chinese people seemed inconspicuous.
Zhang Wei wore a Manchester United jersey, waved his scarf, and hummed along with the Manchester United fans.
Although he didn't know the lyrics, he could clearly hear the heroic spirit and fighting spirit from the song coming to his ears.
Zhang Wei subconsciously recalled the Manchester United Museum he visited some time ago.
On the windy and snowy afternoon of February 6, 1958 in Munich, a sudden disaster befell this red team.
This was the darkest moment in Manchester United's history - the Munich air disaster.
It was a tragic past that is hard to look back on, but it was also the starting point for Manchester United to write its legend.
Zhang Wei looked up at the Munich clock hanging on the outer wall of the South Card at Old Trafford.
It seems to be telling people about that painful history.
Iron and blood are indestructible, the Red Devils will live forever! He seems to understand why so many people like football.
According to Sky Sports statistics, the live broadcast of this game covered 211 countries and regions, with an estimated online audience of more than 200 million.
And what about the scene?
Old Trafford was packed with people, and one could estimate with the naked eye that there were no less than 100,000 people.
But only 50,000 tickets were released for this game.
The reason is that the English FA is worried about conflicts between fans and even irreversible accidents.
Therefore, a part of the stands will be left empty as a buffer area.
At this time, two buses drove over from the far end of the street, and the fans tacitly made way for them.
Even though the bus had good sound insulation, Chu Feng could still hear the familiar melody and noisy sounds, and his heartbeat couldn't help but quicken.
It is more comfortable to play at home. He likes to see the fans celebrating and cheering after scoring a goal.
That would give people an incomparable sense of accomplishment.
McTominay sat next to Chu Feng, his expression full of anticipation and longing.
After all, in such a key battle, few coaches would let young players start, especially in the key position in the midfield.
Moreover, McTominay's current situation in Manchester United is very embarrassing.
Because Manchester United has too many midfielders, including Carrick who has returned from injury, the newly joined Kovacic, and Matic and Pogba who are firmly in the starting lineup.
Therefore, the opportunities he can get are really limited.
Chu Feng glanced at it casually. He knew what McTominay was thinking, but he couldn't help much in this regard.
After all, I am just a player, not a head coach.
"Scott, next week is an international match day. Don't go home then. Come train with me."
Chu Feng said softly.
Ever since he discovered the module that could transform talent into knowledge last time, he has been teaching McTominay in training intentionally or unintentionally.
There is an old saying that goes well.
The best way to learn is to teach others! The effect is really good, and the speed of their strength improvement has accelerated.
"Okay, but the reverse analysis of the defensive player's thinking is a little difficult. You have to explain it to me a few more times."
McTominay calmed down.
"Of course."
Chu Feng replied with a smile.
Soon the bus fell silent again, and every Manchester United player adjusted his status in his own way.
Half an hour later.
Pre-match press conference.
The tension in the Red Devils derby was not limited to the pitch.
"Mr. Klopp, Liverpool had 73.4% of the ball in the last game, but still lost the game. Will you use the same tactics today?"
A reporter from The Guardian raised his hand to ask a question.
Klopp gently adjusted his black-framed glasses. "I will not easily change the established tactics. For example, I will never let Liverpool park the bus."
"To be honest, Mourinho gives me the feeling that he only knows how to defend and counterattack. This year, last year and the year before last were all like this."
There was an immediate commotion in the audience, and the Guardian reporter quickly asked: "Are you criticizing Mourinho?"
"This is not a criticism, it's just a description of the facts. Of course, if you insist on thinking that way, then I can't help it."
Klopp spread his hands and teased.
"Are you confident about today's game?"
another reporter asked.
"Of course, we will win. The last game was just an accident. Luck is not always on the side of Manchester United. Even if they give people a feeling of being lucky, not everything will happen as they think."
Klopp's tone was full of confidence.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Another meeting room.
"Mr. Mourinho, Mr. Klopp thinks your tactics are outdated and you are more suitable to be a football commentator"
The Sun reporter repeated Klopp's remarks "truthfully".
Mourinho narrowed his eyes when he heard this. He knew of course that there was not a single truth coming out of the mouths of these damn reporters.
But he wasn't prepared to not respond.
"Liverpool had 11 shots on target in the last game but only scored one goal."
"You all know Manchester United's statistics without me telling you."
"Why did Jurgen say that?"
The conference room fell into silence, and the eyes of the reporters below were shining.
After a few seconds.
Mourinho spread his hands and pretended to be helpless and said: "Maybe he is afraid because he has not won a game at Old Trafford since he coached Liverpool."
After saying this, he stood up and left through the small door next to him, walking along the narrow corridor towards the locker room.
Chu Feng had just changed his shin guards when he heard a subtle sound coming from the side. He asked curiously, "What are you mumbling about?"
"Liverpool, West Bromwich Albion, Bournemouth, Arsenal, Manchester City, Brighton"
Lukaku repeated, "The only strong teams we will face in the league next are Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City."
Chu Feng was silent for a moment after hearing this.
He found that his teammates' mentality seemed a bit impetuous, just like the Manchester City players before.
It’s not that we shouldn’t expect a championship, but at a critical moment like now, thinking too far ahead will lead to poor execution.
Only by keeping your feet on the ground can you go further.
"If we lost the game today and lost the Premier League title because of these three points, how would you feel?"
"Anyway, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life."
“So, I think seizing today is the most important thing!”
Chu Feng put his arm around Lukaku's shoulders tightly and did not use a preaching approach, but instead explained his own ideas.
Manchester United players were all lost in thought, they knew the importance of today's game.
If we lose to Liverpool, it will not only mean losing the dignity of Old Trafford, but also losing three crucial points.
And as the season draws to a close, every point counts.
You have to know that Manchester City has been lurking behind them, ready to kick them off the top of the standings at any time.
Just as Chu Feng said, if we lose the championship in the end , instead of regretting it later, it is better to work hard now to prevent accidents from happening. Only by taking control of our destiny can we feel safe.
