Chapter 350 Great Purge?

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 and retained the hope of competing for the championship. Chelsea continued to win. Gained confidence in the content of the game. ｛ щww{suimеng][lā} "Losing after a bad game and losing after an excellent game are two different things..." Mourinho said that in Sevilla, he lost to Betis Later he was furious and said this was the worst performance in history, but today it was also 1-0, but there was reason for him to feel relieved.

In the first half, Manchester United had the upper hand, but Chelsea had many absolute chances. Drogba's one-on-one shot was too weak, and Del Horno's shovel shot went slightly wide. The Blues might have taken the lead. The second half was completely dominated by Chelsea. Gudjansen's appearance changed the situation to a great extent. Duff, Lampard and Del Horno all had good opportunities to change the score, but according to Mourinho, it was luck. Not on Chelsea's side.

Statistics show that Chelsea is the better team. The ratio of shots between the two sides was 25 to 9, and the ratio of shots on target was 11 to 5. Chelsea had a considerable advantage. In addition, the corner kick ratio was 9 to 5, and the ball possession ratio was 54 to 46. Although the Blues played away from home, they showed greater strength.

"I'm not worried about the future," Mourinho said. "Looking at the performance in the second half, no one would have believed this was Old Trafford. We completely dominated our opponents. I think people can see from this that we Why are we the defending champions and why are we leading the league? I believe we will also win the championship this season.”

You can say that Mourinho is forcing himself to be calm, but look at Chelsea's games this season. No matter whether they win or lose, they all have an advantage on the field. When they lost to Betis, Mourinho said it was the ball. The worst performance in team history, but they still had more chances than their opponents. Now that they lost again against Manchester United, the Blues can still become the dominant player at Old Trafford.

What Mourinho said is actually the truth.

In contrast, Ferguson's worries are more long-term. He knows that although he relied on the blood of young people to win a victory, Manchester United's long-standing problems will not be solved.

To give a detailed example, at such a critical moment and facing such a crucial game, the Glazer family abandoned Old Trafford and chose to watch the Tampa Bay football team's game and chat with Chelsea owner Abramovich. Compared with watching the game, Vicki has already reflected a certain gap in enthusiasm for football.

Manchester United won, but if you think about it carefully, they won in spirit and in their determination to fight to the end. Manchester United's best chance to play Chelsea at this time is that their previous failure will encourage the Red Devils. They don't need to mobilize, everyone will work hard, and they will regard this game as a decisive battle to get back on track, a tough battle.

Facts have proved that Manchester United can keep the score at 1-0 only by one breath. Shame and gratitude have unleashed everyone’s fighting spirit and fighting capacity.

Maximize the team's performance. But the question is, how long can Manchester United maintain this state. Young players also need to perform more stably. When there are many young players, unstable status is inevitable...

This is Ferguson's biggest concern.

Now the people taking the lead are young people, and the original backbone of the team is sitting in the stands or on the bench today...

Keane, Giggs and others have shown a downward trend and cannot be counted on for much longer. But if they are forgotten about, Manchester United will never finish this season. Ferguson used to rely on veterans in major games, but later found that the veterans' condition was collectively sluggish, so he temporarily abandoned them.

But after this game, he realized that it was impossible to rely solely on veterans or young people.

Last year, Manchester United ended Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten run. Except for Pires' lob, the Gunners couldn't find any chance. This year, Manchester United once again played the role of terminator, but this time the scene and content of the game may not make it possible. Ferguson felt truly at ease.

Manchester United can win a tough battle with a certain spirit, but if they want to win a season, they must rely on strength to speak for themselves. Today, Manchester United won a battle of honor against Chelsea, but if they really want to defeat this opponent this season, the road ahead is long and difficult.

Therefore, Ferguson decided to change his mind and at the same time put his mind back to the winter transfer period...

Originally, he wanted to get rid of Sylvester, but Ferdinand has made many mistakes recently, and he can't bear to let Sylvester go.

Another person who wants to deal with this is Brown. Although he can play the position of right back and full back, he is too easy to be injured...

Of course, the most important thing is the midfield. Manchester United needs a new midfield core...

"Owen Hargreaves? Michael Carrick?" he murmured, still thinking of both players after losing Ballack's.

The former is basically the main force of Bayern Munich, the top team in the Bundesliga, and has just renewed his contract. The latter has just joined Tottenham Hotspur and has become an indispensable player. It seems that it is difficult to get...

If the transfer fee was paid directly, it would definitely be ridiculously expensive. With Glazer's willingness to pay, there is no need to even think about it. Unless I can sell some people in the team...

"Well, like Miller, Libeian, Black, Eagles, Fortune and..."

Ferguson was silent for a moment.

"Is Saha also cleaned up?"

Although Manchester United's lineup is somewhat large, there are really not many people who can use it. Instead of piling them up in the team, it would be better to get rid of them and free up funds to buy new players.

Especially if Saha is cleared, there will be a lot of money. Just dealing with Saha can recover about 13 million euros of funds and free up a weekly salary of 650,000 pounds...

Ferguson began to attract Saha's attention. On this list, Saha is the most valuable.

At present, it is no longer important whether Saha is in the team or not. Saha's position can only be in the middle, and Rooney can replace Dong Fangzhuo at any position at any time. Saha can only be a substitute if he dies. Putting him on the bench would be a waste.

What's more, there is little Rossi here.

Therefore, getting rid of Saha seems to be a pretty good choice...

Keane?

He thought of Keane again...

Thinking of Smith's bravery, he came up with the idea of ​​Keane again. It wasn't that Keane occupied any quota, but mainly because of salary issues...
