The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 794 Moyes' Fatal Injury
"David, coaching Manchester United and Everton are two completely different worlds!"

"Coaching Everton, the so-called key battles you encountered looked more like fist fights between two immature children, but coaching Manchester United, every key battle was life and death. Torn to shreds, the former is like playing a game in the eyes of the latter."

"Coaching Everton is relatively simple, there are not too many complicated things, but coaching Manchester United is different. Everyone who plays at Manchester United is a gold-lettered signboard that is famous all over the world. Behind every signboard there is a Set their own team, and their interests on and off the football field."

"To manage Everton, relying on football is enough, but to manage Manchester United, knowing football is just the most basic start!"

Every time I think back to the beginning of the season, when I drove from Liverpool to Carrington, west of Manchester, when Ferguson first used the identity of Manchester United's technical consultant to say this to himself as the new head coach, Moyes has always Did not have a good understanding of the meaning of these words.

But until this game, until he sat at the Stratford Stadium and watched Tottenham Hotspur score one goal after another with his own eyes, and finally slaughtered Manchester United with a score of 5:0. The [-] fans at the Stratford Stadium taunted and satirized Manchester United with monstrous momentum, and Moyes felt a sense of despair.

He never knew that Everton, who was once ranked fifth in the Premier League, and Manchester United, who ranked fourth in the Premier League, at first glance seemed to have only one ranking difference, but in fact they were completely different from heaven and hell.

He used to think that with the full support of Ferguson and Manchester United's management, he would be able to make a difference at Manchester United. Even on his way from Liverpool to Manchester, all he thought about was how high-spirited he was in the world of Manchester United. On the eye-catching big stage, I will show my ambitions that have been in my chest for many years.

The six-year contract made him eager to become the second Ferguson. He hoped that he could become a figure like Ferguson in Manchester United, so he showed his ability to handle affairs as soon as he took office. Establish their own prestige within a short period of time.

But now, at this moment, at Stratford Stadium, in front of [-] Tottenham Hotspur fans, on the TVs of countless fans around the world, he feels like a man who has been wantonly A clown who played tricks, he lost all his body, lost all his face, and even lost his own self-confidence!
Because he found out that he was wrong, and he was wrong too much!
When a person finds that the way he used to achieve success suddenly does not work, he will easily fall into a kind of confusion, he will be at a loss, he will doubt himself, and he will also worry about the future .

Just like Moyes, he felt more and more powerless when he was coaching Manchester United.

For example, not long ago, some media made a comparison and believed that modern top football tactics emphasize close contact and teamwork, so all top teams are very close to each other, which allows more choices and changes in ball delivery.

However, Moyes' Manchester United still continued his physical strength style of holding high and playing high in Everton. The players stretched apart from each other, and even appeared alone in local areas in many cases, lacking contact with each other. , This made Manchester United lose a kind of closeness, which is the result of low training level and outdated tactical thinking.

Moyes heard it, and he also realized the problem, but how can he change it?
What kind of training can be arranged to improve these?What kind of tactical drills can be arranged to achieve this goal?

You know, the previous coaching staff in Ferguson's time was completely wiped out by him as soon as he took the stage. Now even if he wants to understand how the training was arranged at that time, he has no choice, not even Ferguson. Because he didn't care about training a few years ago, he just gave orders.

In other words, should he ask some veteran players?

Needless to say, it will definitely become the laughing stock of the whole world, because what is a head coach who can't even train?

There is also a very obvious feature, that is, Moyes found himself completely unable to adapt to the style of the rich team.

For example, in transfers, he was used to being poor at Everton before, and he was always fussy about spending money. He often had to be cautious and hesitant. It may not be able to get it done, and the most impressive thing about Moyes is that he often has to wait until the last few days when the transfer market is closed to finally get the transfer deal.

But this is not the case at all in the giants.

The rich teams have a lot of money, so when the team draws up the transfer budget, all you need to do is to introduce the players you need, and you don’t focus on one goal, but step on multiple boats at the same time and make multiple plans. If plan A fails, choose plan B immediately, so that plan B can often provide bargaining chips for plan A.

But Moyes didn't do that, he only picked the tough ones, including Cesc Fabregas, Thiago, Modric and other hard-to-handle characters to challenge. Troumann went to Tottenham Hotspur, and none of the three players he wanted came.

Moyes obviously doesn't understand how the rich teams play. The most important thing for the rich teams is not money.

For giant teams like Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester City, once the budget is made, the money is as thin as paper. The key is to introduce valuable players that the team needs. Introducing two will cause a surplus of talents, but you must not hesitate or miss the opportunity.

Moyes is the typical slutty mentality. He originally had a budget of 1000 million in his hand, and he wanted to be thrifty. He could spend two to three months just for 100 million, but now he has [-] million in transfers. Knowing how to budget, he still has this mentality, and he is still wrangling about the one million and hundreds of thousands, which caused the team to miss the opportunity to sign up.

Moyes is actually not stupid, on the contrary, he is a very self-aware person, so he can basically understand his situation and problems now, but he has no way back, because he can't go back During the summer transfer period, it is impossible for him to have another chance.

He has only one choice, go forward!

For him, Manchester United's coaching position is like a gold-plated journey, no matter what the final result, he must continue to go on.

Thinking of this, Moyes turned his head to look at the coaching bench of the home team. Except for the first ten minutes before the start of the game, Ye Qiu sat in the coaching bench for the rest of the time. He couldn't see what he was doing. It was handed over to Mauro Tassotti, and this Italian is also a ruthless character.

However, he felt looked down upon by Ye Qiu.

…………

…………

Ye Qiu really didn't think highly of Moyes, not because the coach was incapable, but because Ye Qiu felt that Moyes had always had a very strong speculative psychology.

Let's put it this way, Ferguson has coached Manchester United for decades, and his influence in the English football circle is extraordinary. Even Ferguson's son is a well-known agent in England, and he was involved in black money back then. From the beginning, he hugged Ferguson's thigh.

Both are Scottish, Moyes' father and Ferguson have known each other for a long time, Moyes looks like Ferguson's junior, but in fact, Moyes has always regarded himself as Ferguson's junior, and has always been To draw myself closer to Ferguson, for example, Ferguson once returned to Scotland to give a lecture, and Moyes went to Scotland specially to listen to this class and actively ask questions in class.

It can be said that since Ferguson was rumored to be retiring, Moyes has been arranged by many people, many media intentionally or unintentionally, as Ferguson's successor, and Moyes gives people the same feeling, that is, he is simply a replica of Ferguson, In addition to the champion, except that Everton is not a giant, he is the second Ferguson.

However, Ye Qiu was not optimistic about Moyes from the very beginning. The reason is simple. Moyes may look a lot like Ferguson in many things, but there is one most important thing, he is completely different from Ferguson, that is flexibility!
Ferguson is very shrewd. His greatest achievement in his life is that he has kept himself and Manchester United at the forefront of English football and among the top European teams through constant flexibility and constant advancement with the times.

But what about Moyes?He has coached Everton for ten years, and his Everton team has always been a typical English team. The continentalization trend of Premier League football is so obvious. Over the years, continentalized teams have continued to emerge. Now even Wigan Athletic, Southampton, Stanley Wanxi and other teams have come from behind to go continental, but Everton has always insisted on the British style.

This is the fatal injury of Moyes!

Even if he looks like Ferguson in everything, if he doesn't, he's screwed!
"Judging from this game, picking Moyes will be the last lesson of your coaching career, but it may also be the most painful lesson!"

After the game, Ye Qiu and Ferguson sat face to face in one of the western restaurant boxes at the Stratford Stadium, with a square table between them, on which was a bottle of red wine, two high Foot Cup, this is Ferguson's habit.

Although Ye Qiu doesn't have such a habit, there are always exceptions to everything.

After hearing this, Ferguson shook his head and smiled wryly, "Then I should scold you for losing face, and show no mercy at all!"

Ye Qiu snorted and didn't say anything. This game was the most relaxing match against Manchester United since his coaching career.

Ferguson also knows, but what can he say?It can only be said that Moyes is too disappointing!
In fact, up to now, he is doubting whether his decision is correct, because as soon as Moyes took over Manchester United, he immediately showed his raging ambition and strong desire for power, which immediately caused him internal and external troubles.

For example, Moyes removed the team's chief scout, Martin Ferguson, who is Ferguson's younger brother, who has been at Manchester United for many years. As soon as Moyes took the stage, he took him under the knife. Ferguson's mark, and none of the old part of Ferguson's coaching staff will be left, and all will be cleaned.

As Martin Ferguson complained to Ferguson in private, "Is Moyes here to grab power, or is he here to coach?"

When Ferguson met with Moyes, he repeatedly reminded him that it was best to stay in the old team of coaches in the team, but Moyes still insisted on going his own way, but the old Everton teams he brought did not adapt to Manchester United at all, nor did they Familiar with Manchester United, as well as the entire trend and environment of the Premier League and even European football.

"To be honest, do you think Manchester United will have a chance this year?" Ferguson looked at Ye Qiu and asked, he was very serious.

Sometimes the strength of a team is not obvious to the fans in the stands or in front of the TV, but as the head coach or opponent, they often feel more intuitively and clearly.

After hearing this, Ye Qiu shook his head and smiled, "To tell the truth, or to tell a lie?"

"The truth!" Ferguson replied cautiously, "It doesn't matter how ugly it sounds!" He himself was probably a little confused.

"You know, as for me, I only commanded for the first ten minutes or so. The rest of the time I basically sat on the coach's bench and played with my mobile phone. I couldn't see any signs that I should step forward."

After a pause, Ye Qiu smiled again, "If your Manchester United goal this season is to reach the top four in the league, then I can tell you that there is absolutely no hope. I can name a few teams at random, such as Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Southampton, and even Arsenal, Newcastle and West Ham United, you're definitely out of the top four!"

"I think your safer goal should be to be in the top ten!"

When Ferguson heard this, he felt angry, not Ye Qiu. Although Ye Qiu said it very bluntly, Ferguson knew that Ye Qiu would not talk nonsense. At least this was how Ye Qiu felt in this game. This Manchester United team is serious. Lack of competitiveness, he is angry with Moyes, it is too disappointing, it embarrasses his old man.

"Actually, if Moyes can show a little bit of courage this summer, adjust six or seven positions in the team lineup, and introduce powerful stars in his prime, I think this Manchester United team is still very competitive. power, but..."

Ye Qiu didn't need to say anything more, it was quite obvious that Manchester United had no hope for at least this season.

After hearing this, Ferguson couldn't sit still. He stood up from his seat and walked to the window of the box. There was a crowd of people outside, and [-] fans were leaving Stratford Stadium in an orderly manner.

"Do you miss it?" Ye Qiu walked to Ferguson's side.

The current height of the two is just enough to sweep the fans at the exit below the Stratford Stadium. There is a kind of heroic spirit overlooking all living beings from above. Ye Qiu is fine now, after all, it is still Tottenham Hotspur The head coach, but Ferguson is unlucky. He has retired and is now behind the scenes.

Sure enough, Ferguson snorted coldly, turned around and walked back, he felt that Ye Qiu was trying to lure him out of the mountain again.

Seeing Ferguson like that, Ye Qiu chuckled and walked back, "So, you people just can't stand being lonely!"

Well, this guy still has an old-fashioned tone, and he has taught his seniors a lesson.

Ferguson was not angry either, and said with a bit of regret, "It would be a lie to say that I don't miss it, but I'm getting older, and I don't have that kind of energy, and I don't have that kind of thought. The current professional football, sooner or later, will be you young people. world!"

Today's players do have a younger trend, so like Messi, the young player is the World Footballer, and now, Nick Powell, Lucas Moura, Coutinho, Lukaku, Ho Sai and others are all young, but they are already top-notch European stars.

There is also the head coach. Today's young coaches are also popular. Although there are still some old coaches supporting them, the rise of young people has become a trend and trend. Perhaps this is also because these young people are better able to adapt to today's world.

"Your season is over, do you really want to retire?" Ferguson sat back on the chair and asked with concern.

Ye Qiu smiled after hearing this, "My wife has even planned a global travel itinerary for the next year. Do you think my heart is not strong enough? Do I have that kind of courage?"

After hearing this, Ferguson, who has a strict wife, immediately laughed. If it were him, he really would not have the guts to kill him.

"I feel sorry for you!" After Ferguson laughed, he said this sentence very sincerely.

Ye Qiu will continue to stay at Tottenham Hotspur. For many years to come, he will continue to maintain this brilliance. At least he can continue to lead Tottenham Hotspur to this peak, but it is not necessary to change coaches. It was Mauro Tassotti, but there was always a risk.

Moreover, Ferguson has always been very interested in Ye Qiu's pursuit and philosophy. He is even interested in many things about Tottenham Hotspur. It is said that this is because Tottenham Hotspur have started to use a brand new physical training system in the past two or three years.

Also, the man-made talent plan mentioned by Ye Qiu before, from Tottenham Hotspur's talents emerging in recent years, it is not difficult to see the success of this set of plans, if it can really be realized, How terrifying will Tottenham Hotspur composed of eleven talents be?
Ye Qiu smiled faintly, "There is nothing to be sorry about. After all, I have succeeded, failed, cried, laughed, been praised to the sky, and fell to the ground in these years. I have experienced them all. What is there to regret? "

"Don't you think it's a pity that you have worked so hard to lay such a good foundation for Tottenham Hotspur, but in the end you have created others?" Ferguson asked.

Ye Qiu still smiled lightly, "Then there is nothing to regret. Tottenham Hotspur is my team. If the team is good, I will naturally benefit from it. Besides, I have been coaching for so many years. It is more and more discovered that a deep understanding of football, analysis of football, and even commenting on football are far from simply waiting in front of the TV, or sitting quietly in the stands, simply watching football with peace of mind , it’s fun, it’s happy!”

After hearing this, Ferguson nodded sympathetically.

Maybe it's back to basics, or maybe it's because we know too much, but it will produce a bland feeling.

People who don’t understand or are not familiar with football may desperately want to understand and get familiar with it, but when you want to dig deeper, analyze and get familiar with football, you may feel that maybe it’s not as good as being a football player at the beginning. Simple and ignorant fans cheering for their favorite team and football style, it's fun.

Is this considered a besieged city?
Or, is life full of sieges?
