This is a disturbing summer transfer!
David Moyes stood nervously in front of the coaching bench at Wembley Stadium in the western suburbs of London, staring at the front with his brows. In front of him, there were crowded fans everywhere, enough to make people shudder.
It turns out that to be the head coach of a giant team has to bear so much!
Moyes is only beginning to understand why Ferguson would say such a strange thing to him a few months ago.
"I don't doubt your ability on the court at all, what I worry about is outside the court!"
In Moyes' ears, it seemed that Ferguson had said this to him again.
At that time, he had just watched the Southampton defeat of Stoke City through live TV, and received a cruel death sentence. In the last season of his coaching career, after leading for more than half a year, he At the last minute, lost the league champion!
At that moment, what he saw was a dying old man.
He had never seen such an old feeling in Ferguson, but at that moment, he felt it.
I am afraid that the day Ferguson walked into the grave, he would not forget the shame he encountered that day!
And now, as Ferguson's successor, he has been given a lot of titles by the media.
The originally tasteless Community Shield Cup competition was hyped by the British media into a revenge battle with a Hamlet flavor.
This invisibly put even heavier pressure and burden on Moyes.
From the start of preparations this summer, until now, Manchester United's overall performance is not convincing, especially in the International Champions Cup game, Manchester United suffered a three-game losing streak in the group stage, and was humiliatingly eliminated.
After returning to the UK in the two warm-up games, his performance can only be described as disaster.
The performance on the court is not satisfactory, and the turbulence under the court is even more worrying.
With Ferguson’s retirement, Moyes brought his own coaching team that had cooperated for many years, including former chief assistant coach Mike Ferran and the famous Dutch coach Mullenstein, the coaching staff of the Ferguson period. Make room.
Scholes, the most creative core of the midfielder, retired. Although Giggs continues to stay in the team, strengthening the midfield has become the focus of Manchester United's transfer.
If the transfer of professional football in Europe is a soap opera, then Manchester United, which is tragically reminded, plays a disgraceful soap-picking role in this soap opera.
From buying Fabregas to fill the vacancy after Scholes left, to Vidal, and then to Thiago, the players that Manchester United wanted were crossed by the opponent one by one, and missed again and again.
In Everton, Moyes’ signings were usually economical and practical. Sometimes, for a transfer fee of hundreds of thousands of pounds, Moyes would allow Everton’s team to wrestle with each other. month.
But things are clearly different now!
Manchester United is a giant, and the players you are looking at are all sought-after. You don't have enough courage to start as soon as possible. When you turn your head, you will be snatched away by others immediately. You don't even have time to cry.
This is true of Vidal, and so is Thiago!
Moyes feels that he is totally uncomfortable with this transfer operation method of Manchester United. What he is used to and good at is slow heat and time-consuming, but this style is obviously not suitable for the transfer of giants that are performing arms races all the time.
Now, Fabregas announced that he will stay in the team, Tiago went to Bayern Munich, Vidal went to Real Madrid, and Manchester United has not looked at any player.
Not only the midfielder, but also the defensive line is more serious.
Full-backs, central defenders, Manchester United's entire defense line needs to be reorganized, but now they don't even have a target.
Moyes was very busy, but he failed to produce any results. On the contrary, all the Manchester United fans and the British media were very dissatisfied, thinking that his performance was quite poor and unqualified!
In this case, the pressure on Moyes's shoulders is so great that outsiders can't imagine it!
He desperately needs a championship trophy to prove himself and relieve the pressure on his shoulders, even if it is just a tasteless Community Shield, he can breathe a sigh of relief.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help turning his head and glanced at Southampton on the court.
The performance of the Saints this summer is also not convincing. After the loss of Gareth Bale, Neymar and Vidal, the introduced Suarez and Sanchez are still adapting, and the team's offense is lackluster.
Therefore, at the last press conference before heading south to London yesterday, Moyes made it very clear when interviewed by the media, "I will work hard to make the Community Shield a good start for me to coach Manchester United!"
In order to be more certain, Moyes did not use the team's tactics and starting lineup, still using the Ferguson lineup and tactics.
The goalkeeper is De Gea, the defense is Evra, Vidic, Phil Jones and Rafael, the midfielders are Giggs, Cleverly, Carrick and Valencia, and the double forwards are The combination of Van Persie and Rooney.
The Southampton scene was equally shy.
The goalkeeper is Neuer, and the defenders are David Alaba, Xavi Martinez, Varane and Azpilicueta.
The double midfielder is still the partner of Modric and Tony Kroos, but after the transfer of Vidal in front, it is replaced by James Rodriguez.
The trident of the front court has also been adjusted. Hazard performed well in the International Champions Cup, firmly occupying the position of the left wing, the center is Ibrahimovic, the right is a bit surprising, Bielsa Sturridge was chosen.
The two new players Suarez and Sanchez were both placed on the bench by the Argentine lunatic.
At the beginning of the game, Southampton showed his intentions.
That is to use David Alaba and Hazard on the left to attack Manchester United's right.
The first shot of the whole game was when Hazard took the ball from the left and cut in, then passed it diagonally to the right and found Sturridge. The latter completed it. Although it was not dangerous, it was eaten. Surprised.
After that, Southampton still did not change his past violent character, insisting on taking the left and attacking.
Although Moyes has been coaching Everton for many years, there has never been a game as tense as today.
He stood on the sidelines, brows like mountains, staring at the court, motionless.
"We are in trouble on the right side!"
Assistant coach Steve Lande walked over, shook his head, and said worriedly.
"Southampton has a lot of left-hand tactics. Hazard’s ability to dribble is quite strong. Whether it is bottom or inside cuts, it is very threatening. Rafael has already struggled to cope with it, plus a back-in David Alaba!"
Southampton's current tactic is to play very resolutely on the left attack. Once David Alaba is in, Harvey Martinez, Varane and Azpilicueta are a bit like a three-back configuration.
"Phil Jones loses his place too easily, it's pretty terrible!"
Just after Steve Lande's words fell, on the court, Southampton organized another attack.
After Hazard cut to the center, he received Modric's pass, and he had a delicate small-range two-for-one match with James Rodriguez, and it went straight into the penalty area. Mović kept up and hit the goal, slightly wide.
This wave of offense caused everyone in the entire Wembley Stadium to sweat, and Qi Qi let out a sigh.
Almost scored!
Moyes also sighed, Manchester United's midfielder is very weak, but isn't the defense even worse?
Ferdinand was sitting in the stands for this game, and Phil Jones, known as the parachutist, was fierce, but unreliable.
Vidic and Evra are very old, no longer the courage they used to be.
It can be said that Manchester United's midfielder is very pitted, but it is not as good as the defense!
"David, do you want to let all the frontcourt players come back and stabilize the situation first?" Steve Lande suggested.
Moyes hesitated a bit. Will anyone scold conservative when he retreated?
You know, Manchester United and Southampton are both Premier League teams. If the Red Devils are beaten by the Saints, where will the faces of the Red Devils fans be put? Will the fans anger me at that time?
But when Moyes hesitated, Southampton on the court launched another attack.
To Kroos quickly stabbed the ball to Modric after a midfield steal. The Croatian passed to Hazard after getting rid of the defensive player.
The Belgian took the ball to face Rafael and resolutely chose to dribble the ball inward.
The Brazilian right-back had to keep up, but Hazard suddenly passed to James Rodríguez, who jumped in.
The unguarded Colombian midfielder took a pass and shifted the ball diagonally to the left.
David Alaba rushed to the left. On the left side of the penalty area, he steadily removed the pass of James Rodríguez, rubbed his left foot, made a pass, and dropped the ball. Into the restricted area.
Seeing the middle of the penalty area, Ibrahimović quickly followed up, blocked Vidic with his body, and greeted the ball. A lion shook his head directly and pushed the ball to the lower left corner of the goal.
The ball rebounded after bottoming out and hit the goal line!
De Gea couldn't do anything against this close shot!
After Ibrahimović finished the shot, Phil Jones, who was supposed to be stuck in front of Ibrahimović, was late at this time!
"!!!!!!"
"On the ninth minute, just nine minutes into the game, Southampton knocked on Manchester United's goal!"
"Left back David Alaba assisted Ibrahimovic to score with a header. This is really a wonderful cooperation!"
"Replayed in slow motion, after Southampton stole the ball from midfield, he quickly launched a counterattack. After a continuous pass, to the frontcourt, James Rodriguez's kick was so wonderful that the field of vision was amazing. It's so wide, I saw David Alaba who plugged in!"
"Phil Jones lost his position too easily. He should have held Ibrahimovic from left to right with Vidic, but after he left his position, Ibrahimovic simply It's like being unguarded!"
"Manchester United's line of defense~EbookFREE.me~ is still a matter of back line of defense!"
"In fact, as early as last season, when Ferguson was in charge of Manchester United, the defensive problem has always been the focus of everyone's doubts, because among the top seven teams in the league, Manchester United's number of goals conceded was second to last. A little bit better than Tottenham Hotspur, this is totally incompatible with Manchester United's goal of winning the championship!"
"Since Moyes took over the team, the voice of the defense line after the transformation has been loud, but whether it is from the International Champions Cup or this Community Shield game, Moyes has not been able to improve Manchester United's defense. problem."
When the on-site commentator analyzed this place, the camera just gave a close-up of Moyes, who was in front of the coaching bench with a stern face.
This made the on-site commentator sigh with emotion: "The outstanding performance of last season has exhausted Manchester United's last bit of strength. When Scholes retired and the team's offense was in a dilemma, the defense problem could not be solved. Well, Manchester United is dangerous this season!"
I believe everyone who sees Moyes’ expression at this moment will find that this conclusion has already been written on the face of the Scottish coach!
