427 Great Ferguson

In the away game against Blackburn, facing an opponent who had been sacked by him with 7 goals this season, what Manchester United has to do is to completely zip and seal their pockets containing the Premier League trophy, and then go to the visiting team's dressing room at Ewood Park. Celebrating wildly. After 90 minutes, Manchester United did it!

As of the 37th round of the league, this season's Premier League champion Manchester United scored 74 goals, averaging 2 goals per game.

进球数上领先了积分榜上第2名切尔西7个进球(少赛1轮),领先进球数排名第2的阿森纳5球(少赛1轮),攻击力雄踞英超榜首。本赛季曼联的竞争对手切尔西在英超联赛中攻入对手4球及以上的比赛总共有5场,分别是:主场6-0胜西布朗,客场6-0胜维冈竞技,主场4-0胜布莱克浦,客场4-0胜博尔顿,客场4-2胜桑德兰。

It is worth mentioning that three of these five victories ended before October last year.And after the away win against Sunderland (February 5), that is, after the winter transfer port was closed, Chelsea scored 10 goals in 2 consecutive games in all competitions. Ancelotti deliberately strengthened his tactics. It increased the defensive thickness, but it also made them lose 1 points in a row to Liverpool, Fulham and Stoke City.

In the league where Manchester United scored more than 4 games or more, there are a total of 4 games, namely: 7-1 home victory over Blackburn, 5-0 home victory over Birmingham, away 4-0 victory over Wigan Athletic, away 4-2 victory over West Ham m.Although the Red Devils' first big victory came a bit late (against Blackburn on November 11th) and Chelsea had one game less, they were very stable in terms of offensive power and could not play for most of the game. When the opponent's goal is opened, someone will always come forward and score the lore.

The most obvious examples are the away wins against West Brom and Everton in the league. When the Red Devils were passive in the scene or suppressed the opponent but couldn't knock the opponent's goal, someone stepped forward in time to save the team.It should be said that the team's style combined with the individual abilities of the stars (Li Yu scored 29 goals in the Premier League, Little Pea 15 goals in all competitions, Nani 14 assists in the Premier League and Rooney 11 goals and 11 assists) ensured the team's strong offensive power at critical moments.

The offensive advantage has always been the magic weapon for Manchester United to compete for the championship. In the Premier League three years ago, Manchester United and Chelsea entered the final round with the same points.At that time, the Red Devils conceded 3 fewer goals than Chelsea, but scored 4 goals, 80 more than their competitors. This, this also gave the team a great psychological advantage before the final round.The offense has always been what Manchester United is most proud of. It can be said that it has successfully integrated into the blood of the team. Ferguson once said: "We have always had our own unchanging beliefs. Manchester United's offensive style is the style that football should have. It's our tradition."

On the other hand, Manchester United conceded 37 goals in 35 rounds, slightly higher than Chelsea (30 goals) and Manchester City (33 goals), ranking third in the Premier League.This is partly due to the instability of the team's defense at the beginning of the season. The most obvious example is the 3-3 draw by Everton and the 2-2 draw with Bolton in the early stages of the league. The low-level mistakes ruined the team's 6 points, and Evra, Brown, Vidic and others also experienced a downturn for a time.But with the retirement of Gary Neville, Ferguson adjusted his strategy in time, hid Brown and Evans, and used O'Shea, Rafal and Smalling. Manchester United's defense gradually returned to its former stability, which to a certain extent This guarantees their motivation to catch up in the standings.

In the past 37 rounds, although the away record (5 wins, 10 draws and 4 losses) only ranks fourth in the Premier League, but the horror score of 4 wins and 17 tie at home (against the top 1 teams in the Premier League, they maintain a complete victory), let Ferguson's The team has enough capital to overwhelm Chelsea two rounds ahead of schedule and basically secure the championship. [

There are many indispensable factors for being able to overwhelm Chelsea, the first and foremost must be Ferguson's ability to lead the team.

In the early season of the season, the godfather of Manchester United decisively made changes in the lineup and adjusted the configuration of the back line; in the case of Berbataba's good momentum, he was still determined to use Hernandez as the starter to replace the cool brother; Cary In the case of a sluggish state, insist on using it; some of these decisions require courage, and the coach needs to be fully familiar with and control the team so as not to cause the team to lose control. Ferguson can be proud of the Premier League.In contrast, Ancelotti, who only came to England last season, once lost control of the locker room after assistant coach Wilkinson was fired, resulting in a decline in the team's record. Compared with Ferguson, it is objectively Chelsea's loss of defending the title Chance's biggest downfall.

Secondly, Ferguson's seemingly unremarkable signings in the summer proved to have played an irreplaceable role afterwards.

Although Bibby (£740 million), which was introduced at a high price, has proved useless, the sudden emergence of Hernandez (£700 million) has laid the cornerstone for Manchester United's footsteps on the road to the double crown and played an irreplaceable role. effect.

Compared to Chelsea's 9800 million pounds of continuous signings (Torres David Luiz Ramirez Benayoun), only Ramirez and David Luiz played a certain role (Ramirez joined the team It was not stable in the early stage. David Luiz helped the team to win the league at home and become the sinner of Manchester United's away game). Opponents, 7 equalizer) can be said to have exceeded the sum of the opponents.

The depth of the bench is also one of Manchester United's advantages. In addition to the current adequate wingers, strikers and central defenders, the full-backs and midfielders have always been the two links that the Red Devils have been criticized for.

Although the strength is not outstanding, Ferguson has never faced the embarrassing situation of being available in these two positions this season.When veterans Brown and Gary Neville were in decline, Ferguson held three good cards in O'Shea, Fabio and Rafal. In particular, Fabio's sudden emergence during Rafal's injury this season has a tendency to put his younger brother on the bench in the future.In the position of central midfielder, as Scholes grows older, Manchester United urgently needs an organizer. Even so, the rotation of Carrick, Anderson, Fletcher and Giggs ensures that the Red Devils will be absolutely perfect at home. The ball possession advantage most of the time, you must know that the home record of 17 wins and 1 tie is the root of the Red Devils' 19th championship.

The most important issue for Ferguson at the moment is who will replace Van der Sar at Old Trafford next season. With the guarantee of signing funds, the only thing Ferguson has to do is to be more discerning. Just repeat Bibby's mistakes again.

Before Christmas in 1963, a young man who was about to celebrate his 22nd birthday was working in a factory while playing in the St. Johnston reserve team.At that time, this young man could not play the main force in the reserve team. He no longer planned to take up the job of football, and even wanted to immigrate to Canada.However, one flu changed everything.

In that winter, as many as five players in St. Johnston's first team fell down due to influenza. The young man who had no illusions about his career was called to the club by an urgent telegram from the coach.

The young man stepped in and scored a hat-trick at Rangers' Ibros Stadium, becoming the first visiting team player to score a hat-trick at Rangers' home ground.The next day, major newspapers and periodicals reported on it one after another. The headline of many newspapers was "Who is this kid who shocked the homeless people." Today, 48 years later, there are few people who like football in the world who do not know His name - Manchester United (United News) manager Alex Ferguson.

In this way, fate has changed. In 1964, the First Division team Dunfermline signed a contract with Ferguson, and since then, he has become a professional player.

In the 1965-66 season, the 24-year-old Ferguson played 51 games for Dunfermline and scored 45 goals, including 31 goals in the league, becoming the Golden Boot winner of Scotland's top league that season. In 1967, Ferguson switched to Glasgow Rangers with a record transfer fee of 65 pounds among Scottish clubs at the time, but no one could have predicted that the most difficult days of Ferguson's career began from then on.

In Ferguson's autobiography "Coaching Career", he mentioned that when he first stepped into Rangers' Ibros Stadium, the sneakers in his hand were thrown into the trash can, which was the biggest humiliation he encountered in his playing career .

As we all know, Glasgow Rangers fans believe in Protestantism, while Celtic fans believe in Catholicism. He thinks big. [

Although Ferguson tried his best to score 41 goals in 25 league games and 57 goals in 44 games in all competitions for the team in the two seasons he played for Rangers, this data is actually quite good, but Many people have always regarded him as a thorn in the side.

Ferguson was also kicked by angry Rangers fans after a loss.

In the 1969 Scottish Cup final, Glasgow Rangers lost 0-4 to Celtic. Ferguson became a scapegoat. After the game, he lost the silver medal angrily.

There is no doubt that this place cannot stay any longer.Nottingham Forest wanted to sign Ferguson at the time, but Ferguson listened to his wife's advice and switched to Falkirk in October of that year. The 10-year-old Ferguson got the status of player and coach there, and scored 27 in 95 games for the team. After the ball, Prentiss dismissed Ferguson as coach after taking office, and the latter responded by switching to Ayr United in 36. In 1973, Ferguson, who was under 1974 years old, hung up his boots at Ayr United.

In the final, he defeated Real Madrid 83-2 to win the championship. The following year, Ferguson won obe medal.

In November 1986, Manchester United fired Atkinson. Ferguson finally agreed to the invitation of the Red Devils to coach Manchester United. Since then, the whole of Europe has witnessed the release of an epic blockbuster.

With Ferguson's efforts, Manchester United finally ended the season in 11th place.In his first full season in charge of Manchester United, Ferguson led his team to second place, nine points behind champions Liverpool. In the summer of 2, Ferguson bought back Mark Hughes from Barcelona. Just as Ferguson was preparing to make a big splash in the 9-1988 season, God made a joke with him again. That season, Manchester United only ranked 88th in the end.

In the 89-90 season, Manchester United started well, beating the defending champion Arsenal 4-1, but then lost 1-5 to the rival Manchester City in the same city, which greatly damaged the morale of the team. The fans put up banners at Old Trafford, "Give After three years, you are still a piece of rubbish. Get out of Ferguson." The team reporters also urged Ferguson to resign. Later, Ferguson described December 1989 as the darkest time of his coaching career.

With 7 games without a win, Manchester United drew Nottingham Forest in the third round of the FA Cup.

At that time, the Forest team was in excellent condition. Many people analyzed that as long as Ferguson lost the game, he would dismiss get out of class. However, Manchester United defeated the Forest team led by the legendary coach Clough 1-0 in the away game. In the final, and defeated Crystal Palace 1-0 in the final replay to win the championship, since then, no one has mentioned getting out of class. In the 90-91 season, although Manchester United finally ranked 6th in the league, they successfully entered the final of the European Cup Winners Cup and defeated the La Liga champion of that season, Barcelona, ​​known as the dream team, 2-1 in the final. This is also Giggs' debut season.

Since then, Ferguson has brought Manchester United championships almost every season.

In the 91-92 season, Ferguson led Manchester United to win the League Cup and the European Super Cup, but lost to Leeds United in the league title battle.

In the 92-93 season, Ferguson finally led Manchester United to win the Premier League title for the first time. Cantona, who joined in the middle of the season, played a decisive role. This is also Manchester United's first league title in 26 years; Roy Keane The joining of the Red Devils made the Red Devils even more powerful. Manchester United led the way from the beginning to the end of the season and finally successfully defended the title. In the FA Cup final, Manchester United beat Chelsea 93-94. Ferguson led Manchester United to complete the double for the first time; Na Fei kicked the Crystal Palace fans and was suspended for 4 months. Manchester United was struggling this season. After the four seasons were empty, Ferguson decided to rebuild. In the summer of 0, Ferguson purged Mark Hughes, Paul Ince and Kanchelski and was criticized by the media.

After the 95-96 loss to Aston Villa in the first round of the 1-3 season, bb guest Alan Hansen made the famous statement that "you can't win anything with children", but Ferguson was unmoved and he did not add new information. However, they reused Scholes, Beckham, Neville Brothers, Bart and other young talents of the 92 golden generation, and led the team to achieve the Premier League and FA Cup double crown again, proving the correctness of their decision to purge veterans; 96 -In the 97 season, after signing Solskjaer, Manchester United's strength increased and decreased, and they successfully defended the title again; in the 97-98 season, although Manchester United introduced Sheringham and Berger, the arrival of Wenger allowed Arsenal to find the winning formula. This season, Manchester United finally lost all four majors; after this four-none season, Ferguson spent 1998 million pounds in the summer of 3000 to buy Dwight Yorke, Stam and Bloomqvist, and his strength greatly increased.

Everyone who cares about Manchester United knows how difficult it is for the Red Devils to win the league title this season.

Manchester United's start to the season was the worst in recent years. In the first 7 rounds of the league, Manchester United only won 3 wins and 4 draws, while Chelsea scored 6 wins and 1 loss in the same period. Manchester United fell behind their opponents by 5 points.

Moreover, staff disorganization was also a difficult problem that Ferguson urgently needed to solve.

At the beginning of the season, Valencia suffered a broken leg and was absent for half a year. However, Nani has grown into a top European winger this season. In the first 14 league rounds played, only 2 goals were scored, 1 of which was a penalty kick.

Wayne Rooney continued to be in a downturn in the first part of the season. It was Li Yu who used magical goals to help Manchester United remain competitive!

Everyone knows that Manchester United's central midfielder position is very weak, but veteran Ryan Giggs cameo as a central midfielder, the effect is unexpectedly good... Ferguson's mastery of deployment, so that Manchester United can always keep this machine running at high speed, without going out. any problem.After winning the championship one round ahead of schedule, Ferguson said that this was a great day for Manchester United. The phrase "the most important thing in life is to pull his mother Liverpool down" that he said 25 years ago has finally come true today.

Ferguson once said, "Wenger and I are dinosaur-level", but last year he surpassed the fossil-level Sir Busby.

On December 12 last year, Sir Alex Ferguson surpassed Sir Matt Busby to become the longest-serving manager in Manchester United history with 19 days in office.The talented Busby began to coach Manchester United at the age of 8811, and Ferguson was already 35 years old when he came to Manchester United.

However, Sir Busby retired at the age of 62, and Ferguson will be 12 years old on December 31 this year, but he insists on not going down the line.The old man often joked, "Retirement is for young people. I am too old to retire."

巴斯比在任的20多年时间里,为曼联夺得了5个联赛冠军、2个足总杯、1个欧冠和5个社区盾,大大小小13个冠军;而弗格森在其执教曼联的24年多的时间里,率领红魔夺得了13个联赛冠军、6个足总杯、5个联赛杯、10个社区盾、3个欧冠、1个欧洲优胜者杯、1个丰田杯、1个世俱杯、1个欧洲超级杯,大大小小36个冠军,这还不算他在阿伯丁时代的10个冠军;提到巴斯比,就不得不提巴斯比宝贝;而提到弗格森,就不得不提92黄金一代……两人关系很好,亦师亦友。

Busby not only fully delegated power to Ferguson and never interfered with any of Ferguson's personnel arrangements, but also said to Ferguson when he was troubled, "Why do you read football news in those newspapers? I never Look, don't even look at it."

Ince, Cantona, Beckham, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Roy Keane, Ronaldo are all gone, but Manchester United is still the same Manchester United and will still win the championship season after season.

Ferguson once said, "The most important person in Manchester United is always the head coach. If anyone annoys me, he will be finished." Isn't this domineering like a king! ?There is no doubt that if Busby is the founder of the great Manchester United dynasty, then Ferguson is the monarch of the Manchester United dynasty. Won UEFA Coach of the Year 2 times, UEFA Champions League Coach of the Year 1 time, Premier League Coach of the Year 10 years, Premier League Coach of the Year 9 times, World Football magazine Football Coach of the Year 4 times , Into the England Football Hall of Fame in 2002, the best coach of the England Coaches Association for 10 years, the bb Sports Lifetime Achievement Award... Ferguson has received countless awards. He has received all the honors that a football club coach can receive.
