"David, coaching Manchester United, is a completely different world from coaching Everton."

"The so-called key battle you encounter looks more like a fist fight between two immature children, but coaching Manchester United, every key battle is a life-and-death battle, and wishes to tear the opponent into pieces. The former looks like playing a game in the latter."

"The coaching of Everton is simple and there are not many things that are too complicated, but coaching Manchester United is different. Everyone who plays at Manchester United is a world-renowned golden signboard. Behind each signboard is a set of their own team, and their interests on the football field and under the football field."

"Managing Everton is enough to rely on football, but managing Manchester United and knowing football is just the most basic start."

Whenever I think back at the beginning of the season, when I drove from Liverpool to Carrington in the west of Manchester, Ferguson used his first time as a Manchester United technical consultant to say this to himself, who is the new head coach, Moyes has never been able to understand the meaning of this sentence well.

But until this game, until he sat at Stratford Stadium and watched Tottenham score one goal after another, and finally slaughtering Manchester United with a score of 0. And 80,000 fans in the entire Stratford Stadium ridiculed and satirized Manchester United with their tremendous momentum, Moyes felt a sense of despair.

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

He once thought that he would definitely have a good achievement in Manchester United after receiving the full support of Ferguson and Manchester United's management. Even on his way from Liverpool to Manchester, all he thought about was how to show his many years of ambitions on Manchester United, a world-renowned stage.

The six-year contract made him yearn for becoming the second Ferguson. He hoped that he could become a person like Ferguson at Manchester United, so he showed his decisive ability as soon as he took office, and he was eager to establish his prestige in the shortest time.

But now, at this moment, at Stratford Stadium, under the gaze of 80,000 Tottenham Hotspur fans, on the TV of countless fans around the world, he felt like a clown who was being played with. He lost all his face and even lost his confidence.

Because he found out that he was wrong, and it was very wrong.

When a person finds that the method of success in the past suddenly doesn't work, the person is often easily trapped in a confusion, he will be at a loss, he will doubt himself, and he will worry about his future.

It's like Moyes, who feels increasingly unable to do anything when coaching Manchester United.

For example, a media recently compared it and believed that modern top football tactics emphasize close contact and teamwork, so all top teams stand closely together, which gives more choices and changes in ball transmission.

But Moyes' Manchester United still continued his body strength style of holding high in Everton. The players were very wide open to each other, and often appeared alone in local areas, lacking connection between them, which made Manchester United lose a kind of closeness, which was the result of low training level and outdated tactical thinking.

Moyes heard it, and he also realized this problem, but how can he change it?

What kind of training can be arranged to improve these? What kind of tactical exercises can be arranged to achieve such a goal?

You know, the coaching team from Ferguson's past was wiped out by him as soon as he came on stage. Now even if he wanted to understand how the training was arranged, there was no way, and even Ferguson couldn't do it, because he had ignored training a few years ago and was in charge of issuing orders.

Or, should he ask how many veteran players he has?

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

Another very obvious feature is that Moyes found that he was completely unable to adapt to the behavior of the giant teams.

For example, in Everton, he used to being poor and was always petty for money. He often had to be cautious and hesitant. In the end, he had to fight back and forth for a long time in the transfer negotiations, and sometimes he might not be able to handle it. What impressed Moyes was that he often had to delay the last few days of the transfer market closure before finally getting the transfer transaction.

But this is not the case in the giant team.

The rich teams have money, so when the team draws up the transfer budget, all you need is to introduce the players you need, and not to focus on one goal in a single direction. It is to step on multiple boats at the same time and formulate multiple preparatory plans. If Plan A is not good, choose Plan H immediately. In this way, Plan H can often provide negotiation chips for Plan A.

But Moyes is not like this, he is specializing in challenging difficult-to-knock bones, including Fabregas, Thiago, Modric and other difficult-to-get-to-handle characters. At the same time, hesitated when choosing Stroman and others. In the end, Stroman went to Tottenham Hotspur, and none of the three players he wanted came.

Moyes obviously doesn't understand the way of playing the giants teams at all. The most important thing about the giants team 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 to the team. You can even introduce two at once, causing overcapacity of talents, but you must not hesitate and miss the opportunity.

Moyes is a typical mentality. He originally had a budget of 10 million, but he wanted to be thrifty and could argue for two or three months for one million. But now he has a transfer budget of 100 million, and he still has this mentality and is still quarrel over the one million and hundreds of thousands, causing the team to miss the opportunity to sign.

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 cannot go back to the summer transfer period, and he cannot have the opportunity to do it again.

He has only one choice, go ahead

For him, Manchester United's coaching position is like a gilding journey, and no matter what the final result is, he will continue to move on.

Thinking of this, Moyes turned his head to look at the home team coach's seat. Except for the first ten minutes of the game, Ye Qiu sat in the coach's seat for all the rest of the time. He couldn't see clearly what it was. He handed over the on-site command to Mauro Tassoti, and the Italian was also a tough guy.

However, he felt despised by Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu really doesn't look down on Moyes very much, not because the coach is not capable, but because Ye Qiu feels that Moyes has always had a strong speculative mentality.

Let me put it this way, Ferguson coached Manchester United for decades, and his influence in the English football circle was extraordinary. Even Ferguson's son was a famous agent in England. He had been involved in the black gold issue at that time, and Moyes held Ferguson's thigh from the beginning.

Both Scotsmen, Moyes' father and Ferguson had known each other for a long time. Moyes looked like Ferguson's junior. In fact, Moyes always regarded himself as Ferguson's junior and had always brought him closer to Ferguson. For example, once Ferguson returned to Scotland to give a lecture, Moyes went to Scotland specifically to listen to this class and also actively asked questions in class.

It can be said that since Ferguson was about to retire, Moyes has been arranged by many people, and many media intentionally or unintentionally as Ferguson's successor, and Moyes gives people the same feeling, that is, he is simply a copy of Ferguson. In addition to the champion, except for Everton who is not a wealthy family, he is the second Ferguson.

However, Ye Qiu was not optimistic about Moyes from the beginning. The reason is very simple. Moyes may look like Ferguson, but there is one of the most important things. He is completely different from Ferguson, that is, adaptation.

Ferguson is very smart. His greatest achievement in his life is that he has been constantly adapting and keeping pace with the times, so that he and Manchester United have always been at the forefront of English football and at the ranks of European strong teams.

But what about Moyes? After coaching Everton for ten years, Everton has always been a typical British team. The trend of the Premier League football mainlandization is so obvious. Over the years, mainland teams have been emerging. Now even Wigan Athletics, Southampton, Swansea and other teams have come from the top to the mainland, but Everton has always adhered to the British style.

This is Moyes' fatal injury

Even if he looks like Ferguson in everything, he is not like this at all, he will be finished

"From this game, choosing Moyes will be the last 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 the private room of one of the Western restaurants at Stratford Stadium. There was a square table between them, with a bottle of red wine and two goblets placed on it. This was Ferguson's habit.

Although Ye Qiu does not have such a habit, there are always exceptions in everything.

After hearing this, Ferguson shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Then I should scold you for not giving you face and showing no mercy at all."

Ye Qiu smiled and said nothing. This game was the easiest time he had ever played against Manchester United since his coaching career.

Ferguson also knew, but what could he say? All I can say is that Moyes is too unscrupulous

In fact, until now, he is doubting whether his decision is correct, because once Moyes takes over Manchester United, he immediately shows his 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. He has been at Manchester United for many years. As soon as Moyes came on stage, he used his surgery, which clearly meant to clean up Manchester United's Ferguson marks for many years. He also left no old team members of Ferguson's coaching staff, and cleaned them all.

As Martin O Ferguson complained to Ferguson in private, “Are Moyes here to seize power or coach?”

When Ferguson met Moyes, he repeatedly reminded him that it would be best to remain the coach's old subordinate in the team, but Moyes still insisted on his own, but the old subordinates he brought were not suitable for Manchester United at all, nor were they familiar with Manchester United at all, as well as the entire trend and environment of the Premier League and even European football today.

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

Sometimes, the fans in the stands and in front of the TV do not feel obvious, but as head coaches or opponents, they often feel more intuitive and clearer.

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

"Tell the truth" Ferguson answered cautiously, "Even if it's too ugly, it's OK." He probably was a little confused.

"You know, I commanded about the first ten minutes. During the other time, I basically sat on the coach's seat and played with my phone. I couldn't see any signs worth my way forward."

After a pause, Ye Qiu smiled again, "If your Manchester United goal this season is to have the top four in the league, then I can tell you that there is absolutely no hope. I can tell you any team, such as Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Southampton, and even Arsenal, Newcastle and West Ham United. You will definitely have no chance to be in the top four."

"I think your goal is more secure, the top ten."

When Ferguson heard this, he felt angry, not angry with Ye Qiu. Although Ye Qiu was very rude, Ferguson knew that Ye Qiu would not talk nonsense. At least this game gave Ye Qiu the feeling that this game was. This Manchester United team was seriously lacking in competitiveness. He was so angry that Moyes was too unsatisfied and embarrassing him.

"Actually, if Moyes can show some courage and courage this summer, adjust six or seven positions in the team's lineup, and introduce powerful stars who are in their playing years, I think this Manchester United is still very competitive, but..."

Ye Qiu doesn’t need to say anything more, things are already quite obvious, that is, Manchester United is now at least not expected this season.

After hearing this, Ferguson couldn't sit still, stood up from his seat, walked to the window of the private room, and there was a crowd of people outside, and 80,000 fans were leaving Stratford Stadium in an orderly manner.

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

The height of the two of them is just enough to sweep the fans at the exit below the Stratford Stadium in their eyes, and they have a heroic spirit of being high above and overlooking all living beings. Ye Qiu is still fine now, after all, he is still the head coach of Tottenham Hotspur, but Ferguson is in trouble. He has retired and is now behind the scenes.

Sure enough, Ferguson snorted coldly and turned back. He felt that Ye Qiu was seducing him to come out again.

Seeing Ferguson like that, Ye Qiu smiled and walked back, "So, you guys just can't stand loneliness."

Well, this guy is still in an old tone, and he is here to teach seniors.

Ferguson was not angry, and said a little sigh, "It's fake to say that you don't miss it, but you are old and don't have that energy or mind. Nowadays, professional football will sooner or later be the world of you young people."

Today's players are indeed young, so Messi is the youngest player in the world football team. Nowadays, Nick Powell, Lucas Mora, Coutinho, Lukaku, Jose and others are all young, but they are already top European stars.

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

"You're over this season, are you really going to retreat?" Ferguson sat back on the chair and asked with concern.

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

After hearing this, Ferguson, who was so vicious, immediately laughed. If it were him, he would really not have the courage to beat him to death.

"I'm feeling sorry for you." After Ferguson smiled, he said this sentence sincerely.

Ye Qiu continues to stay at Tottenham Hotspur, and will continue to maintain this glory for many years to come. At least he can continue to lead Tottenham Hotspur to maintain this peak, but it may not be possible to change coaches. Even if it is Mauro or Tassoti, there are always risks.

Moreover, Ferguson has always been interested in Ye Qiu's pursuit and philosophy. He is even interested in many things in Tottenham Hotspur. For example, this season, Tottenham Hotspur averaged more than 12 kilometers per game. There are reports that this is because Tottenham Hotspur has started to use a brand new physical training system in the past two or three years.

Also, the artificial genius plan that Ye Qiu mentioned before. Since Tottenham Hotspur has emerged in many talents and geniuses in recent years, it is not difficult to see the success of this plan. If it can be realized, how terrifying will Tottenham Hotspur composed of eleven geniuses be?

Ye Qiu smiled faintly, "There is nothing to be a pity. After all, I have succeeded, failed, cried, laughed, been praised by others, and fell to the ground. I have experienced it. What's the pity?"

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

Ye Qiu smiled faintly, "Then there is nothing to regret. Tottenham Hotspur is my team. The team is good, so I will naturally benefit from it. Besides, after coaching for so many years, I have really discovered that in-depth understanding of football, analyzing football, and even commenting on football are far from simply waiting in front of the TV or sitting quietly in the stands, simply, calm down and watch football, it is interesting and happy."

After hearing this, Ferguson nodded in agreement.

Perhaps it is because it is back to nature, or perhaps because it is too understanding, it will produce a light and tasteless feeling.

People who don’t understand and are not familiar with football may try their best to understand and be familiar, but the deeper you want to explore, analyze, and be familiar with football, you may feel that it may be better than being a simple and ignorant fan, cheering for the team you like and the football style you like, which is interesting.

Is this a besieged city?
