Chapter 46: Post-match controversy: Criticisms from Manchester United legends
St. Mary's Stadium fell strangely into silence.
Fans of both sides are dissatisfied.
The winner felt that the scene was ugly and too stressful, and totally inconsistent with the temperament of a wealthy family.
The losers feel that they are in control of the initiative both before and after the goal, and they have suppressed their opponents.
But in the end we lost the game, and I felt so frustrated.
at the same time.
Sky Sports Live.
"Gentlemen, what do you think of this game?"
The host Mark asked with a strange look on his face.
Manchester United legend Schmeichel spread his hands and said helplessly: "I think today's game was too boring. Maybe it's naive or romantic to say this, but I think Manchester United should try to win every game beautifully."
Ferdinand, who was sitting next to him, followed closely behind, criticizing mercilessly.
"I think football that only focuses on results and not process is disgusting."
"So Mourinho's tactics may be outdated, and keeping Moyes was the best choice."
Scholes, now a BT Sports commentator, also made a surprised expression and said in a strange tone: "This is Manchester United, but they retreated to defend from the beginning and there was no attack at all."
"To be honest, I was shocked when I saw it and I thought, is this really Manchester United?"
"Of course, maybe his tactics were effective because he won the game."
"But I don't like his style, I don't enjoy his tactics at all, and in my opinion today's game was terrible."
In the mouths of these three people, the result of this game is no longer important. They began to study Mourinho keenly, as if they would be embarrassed to call themselves professional players and great celebrities if they did not criticize him.
At this time, Manchester United players were expressing their gratitude to the fans who supported them and celebrating this hard-earned victory.
Yes, they won with great difficulty, but it was also a great sense of accomplishment.
De Gea patted Chu Feng's butt and said with a smile: "I feel that our tacit understanding is getting better and better, and I can always find you accurately in the crowd."
"That was a beautiful long kick, a bit like Michael (Carrick)."
Mata also came over and kept praising him.
"Haha, if it wasn't for Marcus, I don't think I would have had a chance to pass the ball."
Chu Feng put his arm around Rashford's shoulders and answered with a smile.
When everyone enjoys the victory.
Mourinho has already left for the post-match press conference, his expression remaining calm, even though public opinion has already exploded around him.
A few minutes later, in the conference room.
"Mr. Mourinho, in the Sky interview that just ended, Manchester United legends criticized your tactics, saying they were too negative and conservative. What do you think about this?"
As the spotlights continued to flash, the reporters briefly recounted the speech and then asked questions they had prepared in advance.
Mourinho glanced around, raised a finger and said coldly: "The most important formula for success is not to listen to those who are less capable than you."
"Unfortunately those people have never been in the coaching dugout, so I don't think it's necessary to listen to their so-called advice."
There was a sudden chaos in the audience, and the reporters became excited.
What does this mean? It's like pointing at the nose of a Manchester United legend and saying, "I'm not picking on anyone, but everyone here is rubbish when it comes to coaching."
It is foreseeable that this war of words will not end easily and may even intensify.
“Also, if a team has a bad defense and concedes five goals per game, but has a great offense and scores six goals, that’s a very nice thing.”
"But I know that Manchester United can't score six goals in every game, so we just have to try to find the balance of the team and defense is the best way to do that."
“.”
Mourinho waited until the meeting room returned to silence before continuing.
He believes there is no problem with his tactics in this game.
Because the core midfielder Pogba is on the injury bench, the two attacking midfielders Mkhitaryan and Mata are under tremendous defensive pressure, so they will naturally be hesitant in attacking.
Moreover, Manchester United has the League Cup first and the Champions League later, so he must get the three points in the most economical way.
As for the fact that many people associate defense with ugliness, it will not affect him at all.
Sometimes pulling back your fist is not a sign of weakness, but a preparation for a stronger counterattack.
Another meeting room.
Pellegrino gently adjusted his collar and answered reporters' questions calmly.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"From the field, we did not lose the game. Our defense and pressing were perfect, which made Manchester United lose their rhythm."
“We just need to fix a few mistakes and maybe add a little bit of luck to achieve great success.”
"I absolutely believe in this and hope the fans will continue to support it!"
The words fell.
The reporters in the audience were all confused, wondering whether you had lost or not.
On the other side, the Manchester United players were about to leave the stadium when they suddenly ran into a reporter from The Sun, who followed them shamelessly and asked them what they thought of the criticism of the Manchester United legend.
They naturally will not express any opinions to the outside world, whether positive or negative.
But Ibrahimovic's violent temper is really unbearable. He was criticized by many Manchester United legends before and after joining Manchester United.
What high salary, selfishness. He thinks it is normal to be criticized by others, which just shows that he is at his peak.
But the crux of the problem is that the remarks made by Manchester United legends will only stimulate conflicts within the Manchester United team, interfere with the team's decision-making, and make the already tense locker room relations worse.
So he took the microphone and said in a disdainful tone: "Why do they keep complaining on TV?"
"Because they have no place in the club."
"I think as a veteran, instead of talking about this and that in the media, it is better to do something for the team in your own way."
"People like Dalglish, Heynckes, Zidane and Didier Deschamps have done a great job making football warmer."
"If you can't do that, just shut up and don't use your influence to guide public opinion."
Seeing that Ibrahimovic was becoming more and more agitated, the Manchester United players quickly pushed him onto the club bus, fearing that he would say something extreme.
Although we won today's game, it was obvious that everyone was not as happy as they had imagined. Instead, they felt a little depressed.
Chu Feng sat by the window, looked at the scenery flashing by, and sighed silently.
Judging from the nature of Manchester United’s management, there will definitely be more trouble in the future.
But he doesn't need to think about such long-term things for now. The key is to improve his own strength first.
Currently, we are still two assists and two goals away from completing the system task, so we must work harder in the next two games and complete at least one of them.
