In the quarter-finals of the League Cup on December 18, Manchester United challenged Stoke City away.
In this game, Manchester United's lineup is relatively neat. In addition to the injured Giggs who is still recovering, all the main players have arrived, especially Ferdinand, who has been injured for more than two months. This game also appeared in the team On the bench.
Looking at the players on the field, Jin Taige is very confident to win this game.
The warm-up is over and the players rest in the locker room, waiting for the start of the game.
Since the players already knew the tactics, Jintaige didn't say much. He sat across from the players and chatted with everyone very easily. There was not too much tension.
"Guys, I want to ask you a question, what is our goal for this season?"
Jintaige has asked this question many times, so the players responded in unison with general conditioning: "Our goal is the Triple Crown."
"Pretty! It seems that you remember very clearly." Jin Taige nodded, "But you know what I mean by the three crowns, which three champions do you mean?"
Everyone froze and wondered what Jintaige meant.
Raphael replied with a question: "Boss, the three-time champion generally refers to the Champions League, the Champions League and the FA Cup. When we won the Triple Crown in 1999, these were the three champion."
Gintag shook his head: "You're not right, the triple crown I said is not these three titles."
Everyone was surprised when he heard Jin Taige's words. The players remembered what the Sun Wolf once said.
"The three crowns that Kingtag refers to refer to the Community Shield Cup, the League Cup and the FA Cup. These three crowns. We finally understand now that you have no intention of defending the Premier League title! You have not won the Champions League. determination!"
Rafaelton opened his mouth wide and asked incredulously, "Boss, are there no Premier League and Champions League goals in your goal?"
Kintag was mad at him: "Raphael, you look down on me too, of course, the Premier League and Champions League are our goals!"
"What do you mean over there?"
"I mean, compared to the FA Cup, I think the League Cup is more secure." Jintaige explained, "Each year the League Cup starts in August and ends in early March of the next year. There are not many important events involved in the middle, and there is no problem in three-line battles. However, the FA Cup is not the same. The FA Cup competition usually starts in January and ends in mid-May. This time difference is special because of this. Stage, the final sprint in the league, all teams are trying their best to score and the Champions League has reached the knockout stage. At this time, there is no room for loss. In this case, if you want to split the FA Cup, that will put too much pressure on the team. We are understaffed this season, continuous intensive battles, and it is very likely that by the end of the season, the chickens will fly and get nothing. So I decided to give up the FA Cup this season. What I mean by the Triple Crown refers to the Premier League Champions, Champions League and League Cup. "

"Oh, that means it."
Not only did the players understand, even Scholes and Ferran also realized.
Jintaige went on to say, "I will continue to strengthen the team's starting strength and bench depth until next season, and we will not let any champions pass by then!"
