Chapter 303 War of Words

It was obvious that Ferguson was going to be mad, so he was 1 hour late at the post-match press conference.

My God, this should definitely be a record of the head coach's late press conference.

Perhaps because of winning the ball, or if he beat Manchester United again at 40, Ye Qiu was in a good mood and waited for Ferguson for 1 hour, chatting and laughing with several familiar reporters on the spot, passing the time, and finally waiting for Ferguson.

However, Mr. Fu is indeed a big name. After coming, he doesn't sit there. He just said in one sentence, "Our biggest gain in this game is that there are no more injuries." After turning around and leaving, ending the press conference.

This incident also became the focus of attention and ridicule among major media and newspapers in the UK and Europe the next day.

Like everything, both sides of this game are appreciated, but there are also doubts.

Many people think that Chelsea beat Manchester United 40, which is more or less a bit of a risk. The gap between the strength of the two sides is far from that big, and Chelsea's condition is not as good as the score shows, especially in the first half, and Chelsea's several goals actually have a lot to do with the mistakes of Manchester United players.

But some people also think that Ferguson's words at the post-match press conference were obviously to shirk responsibility, because he obviously wanted to tell everyone that I was fighting against Chelsea with 8 players. I lost because I lost a lot of players. If I shot him with real swords and guns, I might not be inferior to Chelsea.

Many people think that Ferguson seems to refuse to admit his claim after losing the ball.

Joe Cole performed well after coming on as a substitute, which attracted the praise of the English media and fans, but the one who performed better was obviously Rooney. The English Golden Boys also won the title of Best Player in this game, and his performance is definitely worthy of this honor.

After the sluggishness of the previous warm-up matches, Rooney's performance has been steadily improving after returning to Europe. In this game, he even played his best form since joining Chelsea. Whether facing Forjon or Phil Neville, Rooney almost completely suppressed Manchester United's left.

After playing this Community Shield Cup and winning the first championship trophy in the new season, Ye Qiu also asked Rooney to accept an exclusive interview from the Guardian. In this interview, Rooney also talked about his feelings after joining Chelsea.

"This is a team that is very different from Everton. When I first joined, I was still worried about getting along with my teammates. But after coming to London, I found that all this was not a problem at all. Our two captains are my teammates and seniors in the national team. Ronaldinho, Deco, Drogba and others are all very friendly."

"Unlike Everton doing a lot of off-ball training and running lap, we almost all of them are dribbling training at Chelsea, and the coaching staff here are very professional. They will explain the tactical significance of each move to you, and they will ask you to complete every move with purpose, which makes me know more clearly what I should do, which is very important."

"Another obvious difference is that in Everton, the forwards there are often asked to return to their own half and even the penalty area to participate in defense, but at Chelsea, my defensive tasks are obviously different. Although we all have to participate in the defense, our defense is against the opponent's defense line, and our head coach even said that we hope we will stay in the opponent's half forever."

"Chelsea has a very strong sense of tactical rhythm. When we decide to slow down, we have to play very slowly. But when we want to be fast, we have to be faster than any opponent in any team. This is a new challenge and thrill for me. I really like playing in such an aggressive team."

When the reporter hoped that Rooney could compare Ye Qiu and Moyes, Rooney kept advocating his current head coach Ye Qiu, believing that although he had only been one month old, he had become friends with Ye Qiu.

"You know, he is not a very serious person. He will joke with us like friends. He will communicate with us almost every week. After I came to Chelsea, every time he saw me, Wayne, if you have any trouble, remember to find me as soon as possible, he will make you feel that he will help you anytime, anywhere."

Although Rooney didn't say it, it was obvious that the reporter interpreted from his words that he was vaguely criticizing Moyes.

Everton and Moyes did not respond to this and remained silent

While Chelsea's team was preparing for the first round of the Premier League in a nervous and orderly manner, Ferguson's Manchester United defeated Romanian team Dynamo Bucharest away. As long as they don't lose at home, there is no big problem in advancing to the Champions League group stage.

But after this game, Ferguson rekindled a battle of words against Chelsea in the first round of the Premier League.

"There is no doubt that we lost the Community Shield Cup, but that was the defeat we encountered with 8 key stars absent. However, the fighting spirit and tenacious will shown by the team both satisfy me. I believe we can survive this difficult schedule well.

"Keen plays as a central defender? I think this is a very creative change. In Romania, he performed very well in the central defender position. It is difficult for the opponent to gain advantage from him. I will continue to consider letting him play as a central defender until Ferdinand lifts the ban."

As for the upcoming first-round Premier League match against Chelsea, Ferguson said that the outcome would not have any impact.

"This is just a Premier League game and will not affect whether the season wins the championship, because we have 8 key players who may be absent. I believe that by the end of September and October, our players will return, and we will re-launch the strongest and strong impact on the league championship. That's when we really make a move."

At the pre-match press conference, when the reporters repeated Ferguson's words to Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu smiled and refuted. He said that the significance of the Community Shield is to set a good start for the new season and can greatly boost the morale of the team.

"It's not important to say that the community shield is an excuse found by the loser for himself, and I won't say that."

As for Ferguson's statement that his team lost because of injury, Ye Qiu also fought back.

"Marteau United lost 0 before Christmas last year. I know that their key players were also absent, but I really don't remember who they are. Please help me recall." Regarding the absence of the eight key players Ferguson said, Ye Qiu shook his head and sarcastically, "Yes, Manchester United is really not as good as those in the past. When did Kleberson and Eagles become key players of Manchester United, it can be seen how strong this Manchester United's strength has declined."

"But I can't understand why Ferguson said that he lacked people and forwards, but he sold Diego Fran? The biggest difference between me and Ferguson is that I never make excuses for my failure, or even attack my opponent without logic."

"You know, every top team will inevitably encounter injuries, and we all need to be prepared for this and ensure that we can deal with such situations anytime and anywhere. If Manchester United can't do this, then I can only say that they are not top teams."

Just as the press conference ended, Manchester reporters over there ran to interview Ferguson again and conveyed Ye Qiu's words. Ferguson counterattacked, but he did not refute Ye Qiu's definition of key players on the offensive, but focused on Chelsea's monetary recruitment.

"I can understand Ye Qiu's lack of understanding of our team's operating strategy, because he does not have this pressure at all. He does not understand the important factors that a top team needs to consider, such as the team's finances. He does not need to worry about this at all, because behind him is a management team with no operating pressure at all."

"To be honest, I don't know Ye Qiu. Many people say that we are friends, but our age gap is very big. I have a huge age gap with him, and the differences are also obvious. But I always feel that Ye Qiu can have today, I should thank Abramovich for his sake, because the Russians gave him endless money."

"I still remember when I first started coaching, it was 30 years ago. My first season's transfer budget was only UU pounds, but I wanted to introduce U players, and I did that. When I came to Manchester United, the first thing Edwards said to me was that before the season ticket revenue was in place, the club had no money to buy players for you."

"What I want to say is that Ye Qiu has no pressure in this regard at all. His only pressure is his judgment of the player's ability. This is indeed very outstanding. I think if he gets off from the head coach, I will invite him to Manchester United as a scout consultant. I believe he will be a very excellent scout."

Ferguson's subtext is that Ye Qiu can have today because of Abramovich's money. He is not a qualified head coach, and at best he can only be regarded as a qualified scout.

It has to be said that the English journalists have a keen sense of news points. When Ferguson fired at Ye Qiu here, they immediately asked their colleagues in London to interview Ye Qiu and conveyed Ferguson's words.

"Did he really say that?" Ye Qiu's first reaction was a little surprised. The reporter's speed was too efficient.

"I think the success of a team is a convergence of factors. Abramovich's investment in the club is on one hand, but success is on the other hand. If Ferguson means, he is now trying to say, can money buy a championship? Why do I think it is completely opposite to what he said a year ago?"

"As a senior, Ferguson's words make sense. He has coached in the Premier League for almost twenty years and is very familiar with all aspects. He has rich experience. This is something I can't match. So he said that I don't know how to coach, so I can't refute it, right? And he kindly invited me to be a scout at Manchester United, and I will also consider it very seriously. Please convey my gratitude here."

Just when the reporter was surprised and thought that Ye Qiu had changed his temperament and stopped quarreling with Ferguson, Ye Qiu changed his subject.

"But I definitely can't agree for the moment. Maybe when Manchester United beat us 40, oh, no, 0, I will definitely be ashamed to resign. At that time, I will seriously consider going to Manchester United to be a scout."

"Oh, by the way, I came to the Premier League in July last year." Ye Qiu deliberately reminded him of his qualifications.

Absolute

The reporters present were all very impressed after hearing this. They did not expect that Ye Qiu would not fight verbally with his opponents on weekdays, but now he has started fighting. All the people were surprised to find that his firepower was not inferior to Ferguson at all, especially all his answers were sarcasm and sarcasm.

However, when the British media was in a turmoil, Ferguson, who arrived in London, seemed to feel that he could not gain any advantage from the battle of words, so he chose to remain silent. He just kept saying that he would use the game to prove everything.

But in fact, Manchester United can't beat Chelsea on the court

When the game reached the 1st minute, Macon launched a counterattack from the right, quickly advanced and passed the penalty area in a diagonal way. Drogba headed the ball to the right. Rooney calmly faced the ball with his back to the goal to protect the ball, and knocked back to Lampard who was inserted behind. The Blues deputy captain did not hesitate at all, and directly hit the ball into the dead corner with his right foot.

At this moment, the entire Stamford Bridge Stadium was completely excited, and all the Blues fans were cheering wildly. Lampard also rushed out of the penalty area immediately and celebrated around the stadium. Chelsea knocked on Manchester United's goal again.

Even Andy Gray, who was in charge of the game commentator, had to shake his head and exclaim, "Ye Qiu is indeed the coach who is the best at attacking among all the head coaches I have ever seen, and his offense is very targeted. I believe that after the game is over, Ferguson has no reason to belittle his opponents anymore."

"Retreating Keane's position to the central defender is a change made by Ferguson when playing in the first leg of the third round of the Champions League. This has indeed brought some strengthening to the defense line, but it has completely exposed Manchester United's midfielder. O'Shea is obviously not as good as Keane as a midfielder. Even though the latter has been criticized for being old, that consciousness is still there."

He lost a goal in the away Champions League game, and it was also a goal inserted by the opponent's player. This itself exposed the weakness of the Manchester United midfielder's interception and defense after losing Keane. Ye Qiu's starting tactics were obviously aimed at this point, so Manchester United was quickly knocked on the goal.

Even immediately followed, Chelsea launched a powerful attack again. In less than 10 minutes, Drogba first got the ball and turned around and made a straight pass. Howard made a rash attack and almost made a mistake. Finally blocked the ball from the baseline. Then Rooney stopped the ball with his chest and gave it to Drogba. The latter volleyed and shot in front of the goal, missing the opportunity to expand the score.

Later, Lampard shot another powerful shot, which was slightly off.

Chelsea's offense was wave after wave, and Manchester United's defense was to retreat step by step, and they had to fight back against the dead. Even though Manchester United finally waited for the opportunity to counterattack, Giggs launched a counterattack from the left, but on the one hand, there was not much force invested, and on the other hand, Chelsea's return to defense was very fast, successfully resolving Manchester United's counterattack.

In the end, this goal remained until the end of the game, and Chelsea scored a goal at home to Manchester United.

Although he won and had a dominant advantage in the game, everyone could see that the Chelsea players' condition was not actually very ideal. Ronaldinho was almost invisible in this game, and Deco's performance was also very average. On the contrary, the newly joined Rooney performed very well.

In this regard, Andy Gray also feels that this is probably related to the European Cup and the Copa America. After all, Ronaldinho and Deco both played all the games in Brazil and Portugal in the Copa America and European Cup, and both of them missed the team's important pre-season preparations, which must have had some impact.

Also because Ronaldinho and Deco performed poorly, Chelsea's offense seemed very impressive, but the threat was not very big.

On the sidelines, Andy Gray made a new round of jokes about Ye Qiu and Ferguson, because both of them wore shirts and trousers, and they both looked very graceful and were very imposing in command of the team, but there were obvious differences.

"Ferguson is wearing a white shirt and tie, and is dressed in a standard gentlemanly style. Ye Qiu is wearing a dark blue shirt, which highlights his figure that is obviously more standard than Ferguson. With the neckline and rolling up his cuffs, he looks more energetic and energetic."

"Many people say that Ye Qiu is expected to reach a position like Ferguson in Chelsea, and Abramovich has expressed more than once that he hopes Ye Qiu can coach at Chelsea forever, so many people have said before that the Premier League has entered the Ye Qiu era in full, and from this game, this trend seems to be more obvious."

"At least, from the survey of fans in many media, in the UK, Ferguson is more influential than Ye Qiu, but if in Europe, the two seem to be running side by side, and Ye Qiu's upward momentum is very obvious, but in the world, Ye Qiu completely defeated Ferguson, especially among the young fans, Ye Qiu is almost the best world's top coach."

Ye Qiu expressed satisfaction at the post-match press conference for being able to defeat Manchester United in the first group match, but he did not forget to further attack his competitors. He even shouted out with a bit of ostentatiousness, "Who tell me, except for the advantage of fouls, where do they do better than us?"

But when Ferguson regrets his team's defeat, he repeatedly said that this game will not change the situation of winning the championship.

"A three-point trailing is insignificant for the just-starting league"

But Ye Qiu didn't think so. He felt that this was a painful blow to his main competitors to win the championship, and it was also a major victory on the road to winning the championship. It was not only reflected in 3 points, but also in psychology.

"I think the biggest blow to our opponents is their psychology, because we use an almost complete victory to tell our opponents that we have the ability to determine the trend of the game. When we want what kind of results, through our efforts, we can get it in the game."

"I firmly believe that we can do this in every game next." Ye Qiu showed his strong confidence.
