Chapter 350 Great cleaning?
Manchester United 1-0 Chelsea, Ferguson smiled happily, he won the most critical victory. Although Mourinho was disappointed, he also had positive gains. Manchester United scored 3 points, retaining the hope of winning the championship, and Chelsea gained confidence from the content of the game. "Losing after a bad game and losing after an excellent game are two different things..." Mourinho said that in Sevilla, he was furious after losing to Betis, saying that this was the worst performance in history, but today the same 1-0 was the reason for him to feel at ease.
Manchester United had the advantage in the field in the first half, but Chelsea had absolutely no chance. Drogba's single-handed shooting power was too light, and Del Orno's tackle shot in front of the goal was slightly off, so the Blues could have taken the lead. In the second half, it was completely Chelsea's world. Goodyanson's appearance greatly changed the situation. Duff, Lampard and Del Orno had good opportunities to rewrite the score, but according to Mourinho, his luck was not on Chelsea's side.
Statistics show that Chelsea is the better side. The shooting ratio between the two sides is 25-9, and the shooting ratio is 11-5. Chelsea both have a considerable advantage. In addition, the corner ratio is 9-5, and the ball possession ratio is 54% to 46%. Although the Blues played away, they showed stronger strength.
"I'm not worried about the future," Mourinho said. "Looking at the performance in the second half, no one will believe that this is Old Trafford, we completely suppressed our opponents. I think from this people can see why we are the defending champions and why we are leading the league, and I believe we will win the championship this season."
You can say that Mourinho is trying to calm down, but looking at Chelsea's games since this season, whether they win or lose, they all have the advantage in the field and lose to Betis. Mourinho said he is the worst performance in the team's history, but they still have more opportunities than their opponents. Now they lose against Manchester United again, but the Blues can still become the leader at Old Trafford.
What Mourinho said is actually the facts.
In contrast, Ferguson's worries are longer-term. He knows that although he has fought for a victory with the young man's blood, the problems that Manchester United has accumulated over the long period of time will not be over.
To give an example of detail, in such a critical game, the Glazer family abandoned Old Trafford and chose to watch the Tampa Bay Rugby team. Compared with Chelsea owner Abramovich's view of the battlefield, it has reflected a certain gap in enthusiasm for football.
Manchester United won, but if you think about it carefully, they won in spirit and a bloody spirit of fighting to the end. Manchester United played against Chelsea at this time. The previous failure will inspire the Red Devils. They don’t need to mobilize, everyone will fight to the death. They will regard this game as a decisive battle back on track, a tough battle.
Facts have proved that Manchester United can keep the score at 1-0, relying on one breath. The shame and gratitude have inspired everyone's fighting spirit and combat effectiveness, which has maximized the team's performance. But the question is, how long can Manchester United maintain this state? Young players still need to perform more stably. When there are many young players, unstable state is inevitable...
This is Ferguson's biggest concern.
Nowadays, the people who take the lead are young people, and the team's original backbone is sitting in the stands or on the bench today...
Keane, Giggs and others have already shown a downward trend and cannot be expected for long. But if they are forgotten, Manchester United will definitely not be able to finish this season. Ferguson previously relied on veterans in major games, but later he found that the veterans were in a collective state, so he temporarily abandoned them.
But after this game, he realized that it was not possible to rely on the veterans alone or the young people alone.
Last year, Manchester United ended Arsenal's 49 unbeaten games. Apart from Pire's one of the scooters, the Gunners couldn't find any chance. This year, Manchester United played the role of the terminator again, but this time the scene and the content of the game may not really make Ferguson feel at ease.
With a spirit, Manchester United can win a tough battle, but if they want to win a season, they also have to speak up with strength. Today, Manchester United won a battle of honor against Chelsea, but if they really want to defeat this opponent this season, the road ahead will be long and difficult.
So, Ferguson decided to change his mind and put his mind back on the winter transfer period...
Originally, he wanted to deal with Sylvester, but Ferdinand made many mistakes recently, and he was reluctant to let Sylvester go.
Brown also wants to deal with this. Although he is competent in both right back and fullback positions, he is too easy to be injured...
Of course, the most important thing is the midfield, and Manchester United needs a new midfield core...
"Irving Hargreaves? Michael Carrick?" he murmured, and after throwing away Barack's, the names of these two players could still appear in his mind.
The former is now basically the main player of Bundesliga class boss Bayern Munich, and has just renewed his contract, while the latter has just joined Tottenham Hotspur and has become an indispensable player. It doesn't seem easy to get it...
If you pay for the transfer fee directly, it will definitely be outrageously expensive. With Glazer's money, you don't have to think about it. Unless you can sell some people in the team...
"Alas, like Miller, Ribeon, Black, Eagles, Forjon and…"
Ferguson was silent for a moment.
"Saha has also been cleaned up?"
Although Manchester United's lineup is a bit large, there are really few people who can use it. Instead of piled up in the team, it is better to deal with them and free up funds to buy new players.
Especially if the Saha is cleaned up, there will be a lot of funds. Just dealing with the Saha alone can recover about 13 million euros of funds and free up 65,000 pounds of weekly salary...
Ferguson began to take Saha's attention. On this list, Saha is the most valuable.
At present, it has become unimportant whether Saha is in the team or not. Saha can only play in the middle, and Rooney can replace Dong Fangzhuo at any time. If Saha is dead, he can only be a substitute. Putting him on the bench will be a waste.
What's more, there is a little Rossi here.
So, dealing with Saha seems to be a pretty good choice...
Keane?
He thought of Keane again...
Thinking of Smith's courage, he had a idea of Keane again. Keane was not occupancying any quota, but mainly because of salary...
