Football King Bale
Chapter 695: Difficult media
Heavy: Guardiola criticized Manchester United as a thief!
Ferguson curled his lips, "The Sun" would make such a gimmicky headline.
"According to an unnamed person familiar with the matter, the matter of Robert Lewandowski's interception by Manchester United has aroused strong indignation from Bayern Munich."
"Bayern Munich coach Josep Guardiola is particularly angry. He has been pushing Lewandowski to move to Bayern Munich, and Lewandowski is also looking forward to the move to Bayern Munich. It is said that, The two parties have a close relationship and are almost close to signing a new contract. However, Manchester United suddenly cut Hu and snatched Lewandowski from Bayern. This was regarded as a steal by the German super giants. , Is a very impolite and provocative behavior."
Ferguson sneered, what an insider who did not want to be named!
This is almost the most commonly used source of information for many media. Does anyone know where your information comes from? No one knows if it is your own invented words.
Bayern Munich is the top giant and won't be so stingy... Besides, Lewandowski has not signed with you. The players themselves prefer to join Manchester United. Is that blame me?
………………
Ferguson ignored it, but the incident reported by The Sun was intensified by the hype.
At the pre-match press conference of the third round of the FA Cup between Manchester United and Swansea, the focus of questions from the reporters was not on the upcoming FA Cup match, but on Lewandowski’s On the transfer.
"Mr. Ferguson, what do you think of Guardiola's criticism of Manchester United as a thief?"
Ferguson said with a serious expression: "This is purely some unscrupulous media hype and rumors. Manchester United reached a consensus with Lewandowski through normal channels on his joining. This is a normal contract. I don't think there is any problem with this."
The reporter asked, "However, the "Sun" has accurate information..."
"What do you mean by the accurate information is an insider who did not want to be named?" Ferguson asked, "An insider who did not want to be named revealed that the news you got is a rumor. What do you think of this matter?"
The reporter looked at Ferguson: What do I think? I... MMP!
Ferguson sneered in his heart. He knew what the media were expecting. They wished him a battle of words with Bayern, so he would not be fooled. Unless you have evidence that Guardiola said that, Ferguson will ignore it.
He is not Mourinho who is stunned by air, not so combative. Ferguson will not do things that offend a top giant for no reason.
We have no grudges with Bayern, how good harmony is.
He is the head coach of Manchester United, so he must pay more attention to his own words, and don't hack the club casually. This is the experience that Ferguson has summed up in the British football for many years, and it is also the most important reason for Manchester United's friends all over the world.
Of course, Ferguson is not hesitating to offend people when it really involves interests.
………………
However, reporters who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic will not be reconciled to this topic.
"The Guardian" reporter said suddenly: "We just received the news, Bayern Munich club chairman Mr. Uli Hernes said that his most regrettable is that Manchester United did not meet Bayern in the Champions League knockouts, otherwise Bayern would use actual actions. Tell Lewandowski that his choice was wrong."
"He really said that?" Ferguson asked with a frown.
He really didn't want to get involved with this. He didn't expect that Bayern Munich's Big Mouth Chairman was involved.
"Of course, do you want me to show you the latest news?" the reporter said happily.
The other reporters are also excited, looking at Ferguson expectantly, wanting to hear how he will respond.
Ferguson pondered for a while, and said word by word: "I can't agree with Mr. Hoenes's words. Lewandowski has his reasons for choosing Manchester United, let alone regret."
As Ferguson said, he paused. He realized that he might lead public opinion to Lewandowski by speaking this way. This is not appropriate, so he changed the subject and said: "Of course, since Mr. Hoeness is looking forward to it. When he meets with us, he can look forward to the quarter-finals, or the semi-finals, or even the finals. If Bayern can go on forever, I believe we will eventually meet in the Champions League."
"You mean that Lewandowski helped Manchester United reach the Champions League final, is it to prove that his choice is correct?" A reporter immediately asked.
When did I mean this?
Ferguson can be regarded as fighting media reporters for a long time. He knows that these unscrupulous media people are best at taking out of context, so he said with a bad expression: "Don't misunderstand what I mean. Robert chooses Manchester United, which is more competitive. Considering the level, playing in the Premier League is more conducive to his growth."
"Finally, you have to be clear that Robert will play for Dortmund until the end of the season, so until the end of this season, he is a Dortmund player and will not play for Manchester United!"
The reporters understand that Ferguson will do his best to defend Lewandowski and avoid the flames of war on Lewandowski.
But what they are best at is to mess around. Someone immediately said: "You mean, Manchester United will be able to make the Champions League final?"
"If you have to understand this way, I can't help it." Ferguson said angrily.
Then, the old man ignored the reporters and left. Regardless of the pre-FA Cup press conference, there was no mention of the FA Cup game at all.
The reporters did not stop him. Although they did not introduce Lewandowski into the war, which disappointed them a little, the basic goal was achieved.
………………
In the third round of the 2013-2014 FA Cup, Manchester United's home game against Swan Hayswansea started soon.
Because of Saturday's encounter in the league, this is also the first collision between the two teams in a six-day double battle.
Prior to this, Manchester United had 5 wins, 2 draws and remained undefeated in the past 7 matches between the two sides. Among them, Swansea played 10 times in the Dream Theater, 2 draws and 8 losses without a win, but this time it was the two teams in the FA Cup. The first battle.
The performance of the two sides has been in sharp contrast in the recent past. Manchester United remains unbeaten on all fronts, especially since they were tied by Tottenham in the away game on December 1 last year. Manchester United has won 11 consecutive victories in all competitions and is in good shape.
Swansea’s recent state is very sluggish. After losing to Manchester City in the last round of the Premier League, they have won 7 games in all competitions. In the last 10 games, they only won 1 game but lost 6 games. In the last 10 away games, Swansea also only won 1 win and lost 6 games.
In this game, Ashley Young suffered a shoulder injury and played free cards with Van Persie and Rooney. Bell was given a chance to rotate, but he was still selected for the big squad and was temporarily on the bench.
For Manchester United, the starting lineup is goalkeeper Lindgard, the four defenders are a combination of Smalling, Evans, Ferdinand and Valencia, the three midfielders are partnered by Kanter, Cleverly and Pogba, and three strikers. The group is Welbeck, Hernandez and Januzai.
For the Swansea team, Pablo Hernandez had a hamstring injury and had to be on the list of injuries with Michu, Worm and Dyer. Britton continued to take the lead when he recovered.
………………
Before the game, players from both sides and the audience applauded the Portuguese legend Eusebio who had just passed away.
After the game started, Manchester United took the lead.
In the 5th minute, Routridge returned a low-level error from the frontcourt. Hernandez scored the ball into the penalty area and then the shot was blocked by Tiendali, who was filled in time.
In the 11th minute, Welbeck and Pogba cooperated and knocked horizontally. Hernandez took the opportunity to shoot without kicking the goal and failed to pose a threat.
Manchester United, who missed two good opportunities in a row, suffered a blow immediately. In the 12th minute, Pozuelo received a return pass from Boni and knocked the ball directly behind the Manchester United defensive line. Routridge quickly plugged in. After Smalling could not catch up, Lindgard was halfway through the attack. Routridge, who will celebrate his 29th birthday on Tuesday, made a calm right foot shot from the edge of the penalty area.
Swansea scored the goal for the first time, but Manchester United coach Ferguson did not panic.
Sir Alex's calmness is confident, because only four minutes later, Manchester United scored a goal to equalize the score.
In the 16th minute, Valencia passed to the goal from the left. Hernandez moved forward in time and shot at the bottom left corner of the goal with his left foot 5 meters away to equalize the score. He also scored his fifth goal of the season.
………………
The game immediately fell into a stalemate~lightnovelpub.net~ Although both sides created a lot of shooting opportunities, either the pass was not in place and the shot was not formed, or the forward wasted the opportunity.
Until the 70th minute of the game, the score on the court was still 1:1.
At home, Ferguson naturally does not want to end the game with such a score, which means that Manchester United will have to go to the away game to play a make-up match with Swansea. For Manchester United, whose schedule is already too dense, it is simply worse.
The result that Ferguson can accept is to win the opponent at home. Even losing the game is more cost-effective than going to Wales for a rematch.
So, when the game reached the 72nd minute, Ferguson made a staff adjustment, and Bale replaced Januzhai, who had hardly any good performance in this game.
But shortly after Bell came on the field, Manchester United was injured again. Ferdinand ended up with an injury, and Ferguson sent Van Dyke to the bench.
In the 80th minute, Manchester United equalized and it was Bale who scored the goal. He used the breakthrough in the frontcourt to tear Swansea's defense line, broke into the small penalty area, and triggered a kill shot to succeed.
Swansea almost equalized again in the 90th minute. Routridge made a pass. Boni jumped from the edge of the penalty area and prepared to head for the goal, but he failed to take advantage of Van Dyck's competition. Deviated from the goal.
Finally, Manchester United reversed their opponent 2:1 at home and advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup.
