Chapter 475

Pei Wei is not in a hurry, Mourinho is not in a hurry, and Long Bisheng is not in a hurry, but someone is more in a hurry than them.

Long Bisheng did not score in three games. Not only the media in other cities questioned Long Bisheng, but even the local "Echo" in Newcastle also cast doubt on Long Bisheng's ability.

The media in England itself has a double-edged evaluation of players, and they love local players very much. Any young player who has some outstanding performance will immediately boast to the sky. Every England national team is considered by them to be "the strongest national team in history", and the next national team will naturally be "the strongest national team in history". Only by shutting them up with excellent performance as soon as they landed in the Premier League can the foreign players in the world avoid being criticized. Other players will inevitably suffer some accusations that they should not have borne.

Especially those players who are extremely valuable, they are also under great doubt and pressure.

For example, Berbatov, who transferred to Manchester United at a sky-high price of more than 3000 million, in fact, his performance in the first few games after joining Manchester United was similar to that of Long Bisheng. Although he did not score many goals, he was a very important piece in Manchester United's offensive system. , the Bulgarian No. [-] star almost ended his career at Manchester United in this way. If it weren't for Ferguson's strength, Manchester United might lose this outstanding center who scores goals and assists in double digits every season.

Long Bisheng didn't pay too much attention to these comments. Although he had some low self-esteem factors in his character, he was able to judge his own performance very well. After so many things, so many setbacks, and so many friends who explained to him, he has long learned that as long as he does things with a clear conscience, then there is nothing to worry about.

At this time, Mourinho's iron-fisted rule and the style of only one voice in the locker room played a huge role. Almost all Newcastle players interviewed gave high praise to Long Bisheng, thinking that his joining is an excellent supplement to the team's strength, and only then calmed down the possible dissatisfaction of Newcastle local fans against Long Bisheng.

Among them, Drogba's words are the most representative: "Dragon did not score, but we should see other aspects of what he did on the field... We scored six goals in three games, and these six goals are related to the victory of the dragon. For a new recruit in the Premier League, can we demand too much from him? His running makes up for our lack of frontcourt. His running is not inferior to our three Michaels (Essien, Carrick and Dawson) in every game! Not to mention that we get more under his cover and impact. How many shots! Don't forget, I didn't score many goals in my first season at Newcastle, but then?"

The words of Drogba, a center forward who has also been questioned like this, are more powerful than anything else. Indeed, after Shearer retired, it was never the center forward who scored the most goals in the Newcastle team, but the second striker and even the midfielder behind!Drogba only scored the most goals in one season!

As long as the local Newcastle fans don't have any misunderstandings because of this, Newcastle really doesn't care much about the media in other places.

It's just that the teammates and coaches are the best. If Long Bisheng still doesn't score goals, his pressure will only increase.

After all, a striker who does not score goals is not a very qualified striker, no matter how helpful he is to the team in other aspects.

************************************************

Premier League fourth round, Newcastle vs. Manchester United at home!

This season's Premier League schedule, for Newcastle, can be said to be difficult first and then easy.

The first round against Tottenham, the eighth in the league last season, is not an easy match. After the newly promoted Derby County, they will encounter continuous impact from Liverpool and Manchester United. If the start is not good, it will have a deep impact on the results of the entire season.

But Newcastle's performance is also exceptionally good.

First, the away game won the strong Tottenham without bloodshed, and then they defeated Derby County at home while retaining part of their strength, and then played a beautiful game away, beating Liverpool with one goal. The momentum of the entire team has reached its peak.

And Manchester United appeared in front of Newcastle at this time.

Manchester United is definitely one of Newcastle's biggest rivals in the league. Although they have a new head coach, whether it is Arsenal, who are united by Wenger's side, or Chelsea, which is rich and powerful, and trained by Ancelotti to become more and more like a standard Serie A team, they cannot compare with Manchester United in terms of background.

Just winning the title of the most England's top league titles can crush most people to death.

It took Sir Alex Ferguson more than [-] years to acquire this kind of foundation. Liverpool once had such a foundation. Unfortunately, in the long-term failure to win the championship, or even the long-term absence of the Champions League, the foundation laid down by great coaches such as Shankly and Paisley has gradually been polished to tarnish by the long river of time.

In the past ten years, there are no more than four teams that are really capable of impacting the league title, Manchester United led by Ferguson, Arsenal led by Wenger, Chelsea led by Mourinho, and Chelsea led by Benitez first and then Ancelotti.Only when one of these four teams has a problem of its own, can Liverpool, Manchester City, Everton, Tottenham, Aston Villa and other teams have a chance to get a piece of the cake in the Champions League.

Although Ferguson, the biggest pillar of Manchester United, has retired, the new head coach Queiroz has stayed at Manchester United for many years and has served as Ferguson's assistant for a long time. Although he has coaching experience in Real Madrid and the Portuguese national team, he still returned to Ferguson after leaving Real Madrid and the Portuguese national team. There is absolutely no problem with his prestige in the team.

Of course, maybe he can't turn himself into a symbol of Manchester United like Ferguson - in fact, there is only one Ferguson. After he quits the football circle, there will be no second Ferguson.

Such a coach is unique.

************************************************

Although Ferguson retired, he left a valuable asset for Manchester United, a young and competitive main lineup.

Now in Manchester United's main lineup, apart from central defender Nemanja Vidic and midfielder Hargreaves who are over 20 years old, the other players are basically in their [-]s. After these years of growth, Silva brothers from Brazil, defender Evans, winger Obertan, forward Welbeck and others have gradually become the absolute main force of Manchester United and famous players in the Premier League.

Coupled with Rooney, Nani, Fletcher and Russian goalkeeper Akinfeev and other superstars who are playing in their prime, this is why Ferguson can retire with peace of mind when he failed to win the championship last season.

He believes that this group of players is enough to keep Manchester United at a high level for several years, and these few years are enough for the subsequent head coach to bring out a championship team again.

Regardless of whether the later head coach was Queiroz, O'Neal or someone else.

After that, Ferguson didn't care about it, and he couldn't care about it for so long.In fact, once an excellent coach leaves, there are many things that a strong team immediately collapses. Being able to let future generations feel the benefits left by him is already an excellent coach. No one can make a team strong forever, because there is no one who can work forever in this world. The continuation of a wealthy family must be achieved by the dedication of countless outstanding people.

So even though Ferguson retired, Manchester United temporarily lost their backbone, and it may take a long time before someone can replace Ferguson, but in the past few seasons when Ferguson retired, Manchester United's strength must not be underestimated. They are still one of the strongest teams in the Premier League and the Champions League.

Their performance since the start of the new season proves this. Wayne Rooney is still the best striker in England. The teenager Evans has gradually begun to have the demeanor of Rio Ferdinand on the field. After the Neville brothers, Manchester United has another pair of full-back brothers Fabio da Silva and Rafael da Silva. Geba hardened Manchester United's waist, and Welbeck scored goals frequently after the start of the new season...

In the first three rounds of the league, in addition to a draw with Arsenal, Manchester United defeated Bolton and Aston Villa and is now ranked third in the standings.

The Red Devils, who used to be feared in Europe, are fierce despite having lost their minds.

And now this ferocious Red Devil has come to St. James' Park and issued a challenge to the Phoenix. This is the most powerful opponent Newcastle has encountered so far this season.
