1049 Last England Derby
In the 30th round of the Premier League, Liverpool will go to Old Trafford to challenge Manchester United.
The England Derby once again became the focus of Fleet Street's publicity.
However, Situ Yunbing expressed pessimism about the excitement of the game before the game.
At the pre-match press conference, he said calmly: "Historical tradition has given Liverpool's match against Manchester United is the most popular and influential confrontation in English football!
But I think this situation has changed essentially in the past few years.
People will look forward to the game between Liverpool and Arsenal and Manchester City.
From a simple competitive perspective, you cannot deny that the match between Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City is the most exciting, highest-level and most entertaining game in English football at present!
Not the match that Manchester United competes.
If Manchester United had not had a huge fan base around the world, they would have been swept into the trash can in the corner of the room, no one cared about their performance, no one paid attention to their performance.
This may be the last time I've evaluated Manchester United team because I'm tired of it.
After Ferguson retired, Manchester United never brought surprises or threats to me and my team again!
We long for a strong opponent, and I don’t want to write it in my future memoirs: Liverpool won many times in England derby between Manchester United, but I can’t stop being proud because at that time, Manchester United struggled even to compete for the top four, but we were the champions every year!
Do you understand?
Manchester United is not a match-up opponent!
Mourinho succeeded because of his conservatism, but now he is paying back the price of winning the championship step by step because of his conservatism!
Just like he coached Chelsea and was eliminated by Atletico Madrid, just like he coached Manchester United and was eliminated by Sevilla!
I cannot ask Mourinho to make changes. As a former opponent, I hope to be honest with him and give him the advice I think is the most appropriate. He should make some changes, otherwise he will only step down from the altar.
There are no giant teams in European football now willing to accept and tolerate conservative utilitarian football, because such a style cannot please fans or bring success to the team!
If you want to say that Manchester United is a success in winning the UEFA Cup, then there is obviously a huge difference in our understanding of success and there is no need to discuss it for this.
Tomorrow's game will be played at Old Trafford, and Manchester United's current situation in the league is obviously much better than Liverpool.
Because once Liverpool loses, Liverpool's championship situation will take a sharp turn, and if Manchester United loses, they will still lead their competitors on the road to four.
So I can foresee Manchester United's conservatism at home, and don't think I'm trying to anger Mourinho and Manchester United, because I know they will eventually park the bus on the field at Old Trafford.
And all we have prepared in preparation is to go there and blow up the Manchester United bus!”
Situ Yunbing's pre-match remarks were not shocking, but they were interpreted by Fleet Street as an extreme change in his attitude towards Mourinho, and he officially put Mourinho on the opponent list.
This legendary young marshal who once made a name for Mourinho in the world was in the most difficult time, supported Mourinho when he was in the most difficult time, but now he no longer looked at Mourinho in the competition.
Mourinho has been having a little upset this week.
Although I knew in my heart that even if Manchester United reached the Champions League quarterfinals, it would be almost impossible to say that being eliminated by Sevilla.
Fleet Street has criticized him. Now that he is attacked by Liverpool coach Situ Yunbing, he cannot find a reason to fight back, so he can only act in a cold manner and ignore Situ Yunbing's remarks.
Even Fleet Street is now saying that Situ Yunbing defeated Mourinho in the Champions League final that year!
It seems that I want to use the current results to do the process of the year anyway.
Although this is a bit too much and unreasonable, Situ Yunbing was very happy to see the media say this.
He naturally hopes that his coaching career will be flawless. Anyway, he is now lenient in winning the championship and has achieved brilliant achievements. As for how future generations will understand him, it really depends on how the media evaluates him!
Old Trafford is packed on weekends, and the England Derby is naturally hard to find.
When Situ Yunbing walked into Old Trafford Stadium and walked along the sidelines towards the visiting team coach's seat from the corner of the court, he saw Ferguson in the stands, so he took the initiative to smile and waved to Ferguson, and Ferguson also waved his hand with a smile and said hello.
Situ Yunbing then walked past Mourinho, looked at the other party and found that the other party had no intention of saying hello, so he passed by him.
Ferguson couldn't talk about his mixed feelings in the stands, but he still felt a little regretful. If he could still make his autobiography, if he was willing to make things unknown to the outside world public, he would definitely write his regrets in the book.
Either he retired a year later, or Situ Yunbing came to the Premier League one year earlier!
Otherwise, he would naturally let the Manchester United management work hard to convince Situ Yunbing to take over Old Trafford!
With Situ Yunbing's popularity and market value at that time, he was definitely the ideal candidate that the Manchester United board of directors longed for.
Just as they chose Mourinho, they also considered the commercial value of Mourinho, the benefits that Manchester United can bring.
The Red Devils fans in the stands were in a very complicated mood. On the one hand, they couldn't stand Situ Yunbing's weaknesses in always attacking Manchester United. Whether it was ridicule or nakedly pulling off Manchester United's fig leaf, they were always the most uncomfortable because they were unable to argue!
On the other hand, it was because many of them agreed with Situ Yunbing’s remarks, which made them even more entangled!
Maybe if someone else is changed, they will applaud and applaud if they say the same thing. For example, a Manchester United celebrity pointed out Mourinho's conservatism and criticized Manchester United's utilitarianism, then the fans will inevitably agree!
But it was Situ Yunbing, and they could only remain silent.
If Mourinho has anything to fight back, then he can only defeat Situ Yunbing through on-field confrontation!
This is the eternal hard truth in football!
The winner is the king, and the winner has the right to speak!
The starters of both teams appeared. Since Ronaldo left Manchester United, Manchester United has no longer had an advantage in the lineup in the top Premier League dialogue.
Whether it was Manchester United at that time, Chelsea, or Liverpool now, Manchester United's lineup strength was always different from theirs!
In this context, the head coach's ability is more prominent.
The two starters held a kickoff ceremony on the court. The atmosphere of Old Trafford was fanatical. Situ Yunbing looked up at the sky. It was rare that Manchester had a sunny day this weekend. It was a good weather for massacre!
"Good afternoon, everyone, everyone, welcome to follow the camera to Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester. The 30th round of the Premier League will be held here!
Red Devils Manchester United faces the Reds Liverpool at home!
This is the closest ranking between Liverpool and Manchester United in the England derby between the two teams in the past five seasons!
In the 2012-2013 season, in the last season of Ferguson's coaching, Manchester United's England derby against Liverpool was the top battle. Since Ferguson retired, the gap in the standings between them has been 4 or more whenever Manchester United plays against Liverpool in the league!
Overall, Manchester United has a high hope of qualifying for the Champions League this season. This is also the performance of Mourinho's team's record rising after coaching Manchester United, but the increase is still too slow!
It is precisely because of this that there are still many voices criticizing Mourinho for making Manchester United lose tradition.
To be fair, Manchester United is indeed very different from ten years ago and twenty years ago, but there is no way. Manchester United has indeed experienced renewal in personnel and has not been successful!
I can only hope whether there will be a qualitative change after Mourinho trains this team to mature.
The intensity of Liverpool's championship competition with Manchester City is beyond imagination. Manchester City, which started the league in this round, has defeated Stoke City 2:0 away, and is currently overtaking Liverpool by 1 point in the standings and has become the top of the list.
But as long as Liverpool beat Manchester United in this round or leave Old Trafford with a draw, Liverpool will still return to the top.
There is no doubt that Liverpool and Manchester City are the protagonists of the Premier League championship this season, but in order to consolidate their advantage in the four-game competition, Manchester United also needs to grab points at home today!
Because Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham also won this round!
OK, let's take a look at the starting lineup of the two teams.
Manchester United started 433 today.
Goalkeeper: De Gea.
Defenders: Valencia, Bailey, Smalling, Ashley Young.
Midfielder: Matic, Pogba, McTominai.
Forwards: Sanchez, Lukaku, Rashford.
Liverpool's starting lineup was also 433 today.
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.
Defenders: Arnold, Van Dijk, Cooley Barry, Robertson.
Midfielder: Casemiro, Eriksen, Kante.
Forwards: Mbappe, Lewandowski, Griezmann.
Griezmann's appearance in Liverpool's starting lineup today was somewhat unexpected, because Situ Yunbing had always asked him to play as a substitute in major games, but Griezmann had been in good shape since the middle of the season, and there was no problem with starting.
The game begins soon, let's see what sparks the two teams will spark at Old Trafford today!”
During the winter break, Arsenal got rid of Sanchez because Sanchez refused to renew his contract at a low price. Even if Klopp wanted to keep someone as a forward, there was no way. Manchester United only took 18 million pounds to win Sanchez.
Chapter completed!
