The sixth professional football player who started with Manchester United

Chapter 50 regret

However, after beating Chelsea once in the league, Manchester United met Chelsea again in the fourth round of the League Cup. For the tasteless League Cup, this was not in Ferguson's plan.

If the schedule was not so intensive, Manchester United might still pay attention to it, but according to Manchester United's next schedule, this does not allow Manchester United to spend too much energy on the League Cup.

Because according to the time arrangement, after the League Cup match with Chelsea, Manchester United will usher in the league match, and the strength of the opponent cannot be underestimated. It is the Premier League giant Arsenal led by Wenger. .

And once the league with Arsenal is over, Manchester United will start the Champions League group stage.

And if Manchester United can win this Champions League game, then according to the current points ranking of this group, Manchester United will lock in a qualifying spot two rounds in advance. If this is the case, this will be a very good response for Ferguson. information.

So after studying the schedule of this season very early, Ferguson decided to give up the League Cup, which is why Manchester United played with the second team and a substitute in the last round of the League Cup.

It's just that in that game, we encountered a Newcastle United team that also had no ambitions.

And Chelsea just suffered a big defeat in the league. Di Matteo urgently needs a victory to consolidate his coaching position. Therefore, despite the same intensive schedule, Di Matteo still has half of the schedule for this game. The main force to play, but what he didn't know was that it was precisely because of this arrangement that his position became more unstable.

This game is still at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea, who played half as the main force and half as a substitute, faced Manchester United, which is dominated by second team players. Most people think that Chelsea will definitely usher in an easy victory.

But no one thought that Chelsea had indeed won, but the process made many people very disappointed with Chelsea.

It was 3 to 3 in regular time, and Chelsea finally won the game with difficulty relying on a goal in overtime, and thus reached the quarter-finals of the League Cup this season.

Looking at what he has gained after joining Manchester United, Dabao also feels a sense of accomplishment. Although this broken system likes to mess with his mentality, the rewards are still very generous.

"Jack, Jack, are you listening to me?"

"I'm listening, Knight, I know what you mean, but I think it's not a business. I think the best thing for a professional player, especially at my age, is to be able to work on a team for a while. , and it’s best to have a head coach who has competition and appreciates you. I think this is the most suitable for me. Obviously Manchester United is like this, so if anyone still contacts you, you can push it all for me. For the time being I won’t consider leaving within two to three years.” For his career planning, Dabao is still very well prepared.

What Knight just told him is which clubs have contacted him recently.

Dabao also clearly explained his attitude towards this.

"I understand what you mean, and I also know that this is indeed in the best interest of your career, but Jack, you know, Mr Ferguson will retire next season, whoever will be the manager of Manchester United is a Question, I still hope you can make some preparations."

"Knight, whether it is football or rugby, no matter which team you go to as a professional athlete, all your treatment and your status in the team are determined by your strength. This has nothing to do with who is the head coach. I hope this You can trust me, no matter who comes, I am sure that I can guarantee my current position."

"OK, I absolutely believe you."

The next day, November 11, the Arsenal team arrived at Old Trafford under the leadership of Wenger.

Speaking of the entanglement between Wenger and Ferguson, it is definitely not an exaggeration to describe it as an old enemy. Both of them have dedicated most of their coaching careers to the head coach of a club.

Ferguson coached Manchester United for 27 years and Wenger coached Arsenal for 16 years.

The entanglement between the two is also an endless story in the Premier League.

Speaking of Arsenal, we have to mention that Arsenal moved from the world-renowned Highbury Stadium to the Emirates Stadium in 2006. The modern new stadium helped Arsenal bring better resources and let Arsenal fans I have enjoyed better service, but I have to say that this new stadium has also caused Arsenal to bear a huge amount of debt. Since then, Arsenal has had to tighten their money, which has also caused Wenger to change every time he operates in the transfer market. Be cautious.

It is also from this year that Arsenal, as a Premier League giant, has ushered in the embarrassing situation of six years without a championship.

Last season, Fabregas, the core of the team, moved to Barcelona, ​​and Nasri moved to Manchester City. This season, Van Persie came to Manchester United, and Alexander Song moved to Barcelona. These consecutive transfers also allowed Wenger's Arsenal tactical system to be rebuilt. At the time, Arsenal responded this summer.

The signing of French forward Giroud, German forward Podolski and Spanish winger Cazorla is Arsenal's biggest deal in the summer.

However, the deal that worried Wenger the most was not completed, and that was the deal with Dabao. He did not expect that his old rival would make such a move so quickly. In fact, bringing in Dabao was what Wenger wanted to complete this summer. trade, but Manchester United still has the upper hand in terms of pockets.

Now that nine rounds of the league have passed, Dabao's performance has made Wenger regret it even more.

I regret not being able to persist any longer. If I insist on convincing the club’s board of directors, maybe Dabao will appear in my team now. In that case, Wenger can guarantee that Arsenal will not need to worry about the core of the midfield for at least the next ten years.

Although everyone is paying close attention to this game and feels that it will be a strong dialogue, most people are still very optimistic about Manchester United. This is because in the past nine rounds of the league, Arsenal's performance has not actually been able to make the difference. People are satisfied.
