Chapter 225: Manchester United's golden generation of Class 12, McTominay's troubles

Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea fans left the stadium early. After all, human joys and sorrows are not the same, and they didn’t want to see the arrogance of Manchester United fans.

After thanking the fans together, the Manchester United players prepared to return to the locker room.

On the way, Chu Feng was stopped by Kante, who scratched his head and asked if he could exchange jerseys. Chu Feng certainly would not refuse.

Although some Chelsea players are annoying, Xiao Ludan's personality is still pretty good.

Chu Feng even thought about bringing Kante to Manchester United if he had the chance. Manchester United already has Matic and David Luiz in the team, so having a former Chelsea player would be just right.

As for why they always take advantage of Chelsea?

Of course, Chelsea’s results are not good, but the quality of the players in the team is particularly high.

When Chu Feng walked to the edge of the court, Mourinho put his arm around his shoulders, and the two reviewed today's game. Their backs gradually disappeared into the player tunnel.

In fact, the performance of Manchester United players today was quite good.

You know, even though Chelsea had many problems such as infighting in the locker room and rigid tactics, they still got off to a perfect start at the beginning of the season and firmly ranked in the top three in the Premier League standings.

Even in the last round of the league they drew with Liverpool.

If Mourinho didn't know Chelsea players too well, he would have developed a targeted man-to-man defense strategy to restrict the two key points of Hazard and Jorginho.

Even if Chelsea loses this game, the result will not be 3-1.

After returning to the locker room.

Mourinho praised the Manchester United players. In football, he is used to blaming the issue rather than the individual.

If you kick well, it’s good; if you kick badly, it’s bad.

Don't criticize the players without knowing the consequences after achieving a great victory, otherwise it will definitely cause conflicts in the locker room.

After all, people always like to hear words of praise.

Thanks to this positive change and the increase in Chu Feng's voice in the locker room, Mourinho's status has also risen.

With Matic, David Luiz, McTominay, Herrera and other staunch supporters of Mourinho, there will definitely be no turmoil in the Manchester United locker room in the short term.

Even if the Manchester United management wants to do something weird, they have to think carefully.

Post-match press interview.

"We played a good 45 minutes and after the equaliser we controlled the game."

"But it wasn't long before Manchester United scored another goal and we suddenly became a different team and we couldn't find our direction at all."

"I'm very worried about that, not the result, but the fact that the team didn't respond properly after the goal was scored.

"Manchester United played with more determination throughout the game and I think the reason we lost the game was because of our determination."

“.”

As expected, Sarri got angry. The 57-year-old coach once drove his car into a player's car because the player parked in his parking space.

Italian old men always have strange tempers.

For example, he doesn't like Room 17 and hates players wearing colored sneakers. However, there is another reason why Sarri is so irritable, that is, the Premier League prohibits coaches from smoking during games.

For an old smoker who smoked at least 60 cigarettes a day, this was even more cruel than the ten tortures, so he could only chew the cigarette filters in the coach's seat.

Mourinho's response was simple.

"We have come out of the haze of the match against Hoffenheim, and the players' positive performance today is the best proof!"

"I believe that Manchester United will continue to chase the top of the table as they did last season."

"League title? It's too early to talk about the title now. The long season is full of surprises and no one can accurately predict the result."

“But we will try our best to defend our title.”

When asked about Chu Feng's performance, Mourinho blurted out: "He is one of the most talented players in Europe. It is only a matter of time before he becomes a top player."

"I think he will be the best player I have ever trained."

"The most important thing is that Chu is willing to take on team tasks instead of being obsessed with himself, obsessed with various awards, and obsessed with scoring more goals than others."

“He’s very humble both on and off the court.”

Inside the away dressing room at Stamford Bridge, Manchester United players listened to the post-match interview and all started to make noises with bad intentions.

Rashford even pretended to hold the microphone in front of Chu Feng, "Chu, after hearing the boss's praise, do you have anything to say to everyone?"

Chu Feng coughed twice: "Well, I don't think the boss was praising me, he was just stating the facts."

"You are so shameless!"

"Ugh, the boss actually said you were modest."

The locker room was in chaos, and a cheerful atmosphere spread. Ashley Young turned on the speakers, and everyone started to shake their heads to the melody. -- After the first match of the 9th round of the Premier League.

The front pages of major sports news media all chose photos of Manchester United players sitting on billboards.

Those energetic young faces, those well-known names, at that moment, they put their arms around each other's shoulders and smiled brightly at the camera.

The rise of the golden generation of Red Devils Class 12: Chu Feng, Rashford, McTominay

"Chu Feng scored twice in a single game, a new Red Devils leader is born!"

《Chaos in the new Premier League season!》

Just as the media said, Chu Feng and others got a nickname, called the 12 Golden Generation.

This contains the expectations of countless Manchester United fans.

Looking back at the 1995-96 season, members of Class 92 began to emerge in Manchester United's first team, but they were not favored at the time.

Alan Hansen, a former Liverpool star who was a BBC commentator at the time, said the sentence he regretted most in his life: "You can't win anything with a bunch of kids."

However, the students of Class 92, under the leadership of Sir Alex Ferguson, slapped him in the face. They made rapid progress in the second half of the league, reversed Newcastle, which was 12 points ahead before Christmas, and won the league championship.

From then on, the Red Devils began to dominate the Premier League, winning countless championship trophies for Manchester United.

Manchester United fans hope that the new Class 12 members can start a new dynasty.

Even in Manchester's most famous mural district, some residents painted a new mural of Manchester United's Class 12 next to the mural of Manchester United's Class 92.

Members of Class 92 also tweeted their support and recognition.

Beckham: "My time at Manchester United was the most precious experience in my life. I hope Chu and the others can also write a wonderful story."

Phil Neville: "I have witnessed the glory of Manchester United's treble and also experienced the ups and downs of missing the league championship for three consecutive years. I wish the Manchester United players the desire and determination to succeed and let this character accompany them throughout their careers."

Gary Neville: "I think Chu would make a great leader!"

Bart: “.”

Teams and players with stories in football are more likely to attract attention.

Manchester United used the inspirational Chu Feng as the storyline, allowing Manchester United to gain more traffic and attention.

Of course, Chu Feng himself will also gain a lot of benefits.

Mendes' phone has been blowing up recently with all the major brands wanting to work with him.

Most of the reason is Chu Feng’s popularity, and a small part of the reason is that Chu Feng has never caused any trouble. Such an excellent spokesperson is hard to come by.

The next day, McTominay approached Chu Feng.

Although Wheat had gotten a chance to play before, it was only for less than twenty minutes, which was far from enough for a young player.

Manchester United currently has a shortage of midfielders, including Matic, Kovacic, Pogba, Herrera and McTominay.

Only Matic and Pogba can play stably, and the rest need to be matched according to specific tactical requirements.

In a cafe outside the Carrington training base, McTominay confided his troubles: "Chu, I feel very confused now. I don't know which direction to develop? Matic, Pogba, or Fletcher."

Chu Feng stirred the coffee in the cup and thought seriously about the other party's question.

In fact, as an adult, you should give others as little advice as possible. After all, conflicts may arise in the future because of this, but the relationship between the two people is no longer that of ordinary friends.

Chu Feng organized his words and said, "I think we should play to our strengths and make up for our weaknesses."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"When I first joined the first team, my only passable dribbling ability was my ability, so I thought about how to maximize this advantage."

“At the same time, we will continue to improve our shortcomings in shooting, passing, etc.”

"For example, if you have a strong forward run ability, you can try to participate in the attack more often."

"For example, your height means you can't cover a large area when running, so you need to improve your defensive positioning. You can learn from Matic in this regard."

“.”

Chu Feng did not give any specific suggestions, but just talked about his own mental journey.

When Manchester United needed a winger who could break through, he focused on strengthening his dribbling training. Later, when they needed a winger who could pass the ball, he went to Carrick to practice long passes.

Then Chu Feng continued: "Scott, you have to have confidence in me. When the forward can't hold the ball, the requirements for the midfield will be magnified."

"That's right. I don't have to worry about the ball being intercepted when I pass it to you." McTominay's depression dissipated a lot. "De Gea secretly told me before that every time Maguire took the ball forward, he was worried that it would be intercepted."

Chu Feng couldn't help but smile.

Suddenly I remembered a game I watched in my previous life. Maguire reached out to De Gea for the ball, but De Gea would rather kick it out of the sideline than pass it.

After the two of them finished their conversation.

Chu Feng returned home and called Mourinho. After all, he was just a player, not a professional, and the advice he gave might not be suitable for Xiaomai.

After training in the evening of October 23, Manchester United players gathered in the locker room.

"Does Manchester City still want to break its own league winning streak record?"

Pogba looked at the results displayed on his mobile phone, his mouth opened so wide that two eggs could be stuffed in.

Manchester City 5-0 Burnley, five goals were scored by five different players, which shows how hot the Manchester City players are.

Last season, Manchester City became the first club in the top five leagues to fail to win a championship, which can be said to be a heartbreaking failure.

The Manchester City players must be very depressed and irritated, and that is why they take every game seriously until they win back the Premier League title.

There were not many surprises in the results of the other BIG6 games in the Premier League.

Liverpool 1-0 Huddersfield, continuing the Red Army's fine tradition of robbing the rich and helping the poor. This goal was scored by Salah.

Tottenham 1-0 West Ham United.

Harry Kane seemed to be in poor form and missed several scoring opportunities. If it weren't for Lamela's stoppage time winner, the game would probably have ended in a draw.

Arsenal 3-1 Leicester City.

Aubameyang scored twice, ranking among the top three scorers, and Dead Fish Eyes also scored a goal.

However, Arsenal is still only ranked 6th.

After all, Arsenal never disappoints in disappointing aspects. They suffered two consecutive defeats after the start of the season.

Before Arsenal fans could hold up banners and start cursing, they won six consecutive games in a row.

The Gunners, with Emery at the helm, quickly got back on track.

Arsenal fans turned curses into praises, saying that it was fortunate that they did not choose Arteta as the head coach and that Wenger's departure was the best choice for both sides.

Poor Tazi can only continue to be Guardiola's assistant coach. The heartbroken professor said in an interview with the media: "I coached 1,235 games at Arsenal. There were good and bad times during that time, but I always worked hard to defend Arsenal's honor, and I think I did it."

"I will not be returning to the Emirates Stadium, not even as a spectator. I have completely and completely left Arsenal. This is my decision."

After the ninth round of the Premier League is over, the Premier League standings are as follows.

Manchester City: 27 points

Liverpool: 25 points

Tottenham: 25 points

Manchester United: 24 points

Chelsea: 22 points

Arsenal: 21 points

Rashford clicked on the Premier League scorer list again, "Chu, the current ranking is Mane, Salah, Aubameyang, Aguero, and then you, you have to work harder!"

"There are 29 rounds left in the league, and I am confident that I can catch up with them." Chu Feng did not feel too much pressure.

Sometimes, being too obsessed with goal statistics prevents you from performing at your best. To put it more mysteriously, you are troubled by the obsession.

Of course, the desire for victory and honor is essential.

After all, when people have no desires or demands, they will lose most of their motivation, which is not the mentality a competitive athlete should have.

After a while, Mourinho walked into the locker room and said, "Make sure you get enough sleep tonight. Tomorrow night is the Champions League group stage."

"Our opponent, Lyon, ranked third in Ligue 1 last season. Don't think that Ligue 1 teams are weak."

"This game is very important. We must win so that we can tactically give up the Champions League to ensure our physical fitness to cope with the intensive schedule and multi-line operations in December."

“.”

The Lyon team is basically composed of young people. Although the head coach Genesio is not well-known, he actually has rich tactical experience.

To put it simply, they react quickly, defend in time, are good at heading, and have tacit cooperation.

Manchester United has already suffered a defeat at the hands of Hoffenheim. If they are forced into a draw or even lose the game again due to carelessness, Mourinho really cannot accept it.

Following Mourinho's repeated and serious instructions, Manchester United players did not dare to underestimate the enemy.

After the pre-match tactical meeting, Mourinho asked McTominay to stay and the two talked in the locker room for more than half an hour.

One day passed in a flash, and on October 24, a French guest came to Old Trafford.

The third round of the Champions League group stage is about to begin! (End of this chapter)
