...
The next day, major media and newspapers across Europe reported on the Manchester derby in the League Cup final.
Manchester City not only defeated Manchester United 2-1, but also had an overwhelming advantage in all the data competitions throughout the game, and the ball possession rate reached an astonishing 68%, which shocked the entire European football world.
What is even more amazing is the strong attack power shown by Manchester City's three, four and three playing styles this season, especially after Kaka's comeback, Manchester City scored a lot of goals and scored big scores every game. In this game, Manchester United was suppressed from beginning to end and bombarded in the half of the team.
Commenting on this game, the famous British Guardian said that Manchester United's most solid defense line in the Premier League can be said to be weak in front of Manchester City's mercenary corps.
"Manchester United fell into trouble at the beginning of the game. They had no ability to resist in the face of Manchester City's skillful ball-handling tactics."
"In the early stage of the game, the Red Devils were able to run without hesitation to slightly curb Manchester City's ball control, making the Blue Moon unable to make a threatening attack. However, as the game deepens and physical energy is exhausted, Manchester United is increasingly unable to support their tactics, and Manchester City's ball control advantage is becoming more and more obvious."
"Ferguson said more than once before the game that losing possession of the ball is equivalent to suicide when facing Manchester City."
"But looking at the whole game, Manchester United did not perform at all in fighting for ball control. Judging from the team's lineup, Ferguson's intention is very clear, that is, to prevent Manchester City from controlling the ball, and then seize the opportunity to fight back."
"This set of ideas was implemented by the players at the beginning and achieved certain results. However, half an hour later, Manchester United players obviously had differences, especially when the physical energy was consumed too much, they were unable to maintain the pressing pressure on Manchester City. Coupled with the overall formation, Manchester City's ball control became smoother."
"After the second half of the game, Manchester United's situation has not changed. Manchester City has launched an offensive from the beginning, and even continued to suppress Manchester United in the entire second half, and twice broke through the Red Devils' goal."
"It is worth mentioning that Gary Neville, the unlucky captain should not be criticized too much. He was diligent in defending Cristiano Ronaldo throughout the game. He had done his best. The handball that caused the ball to be lost was also a subconscious action he made in an emergency."
At the end of the comment, the Guardian believed that the 2-to-1 score did not reflect the advantages that Manchester City had gained in the game very well.
"The advantages and opportunities that Gao Han team has created throughout the game are far greater than Manchester United. Manchester City uses the victory of this game to prove their strength."
"And we have to admire Gao Han's powerful integration ability again. After Kaka's comeback, Manchester City's performance has gradually improved, and it has achieved extremely high technical and tactical standards, which also amazed us all."
"Before the League Cup final, many people said that Manchester City was just an expensive mercenary, but this final proved one thing: this team is not a mercenary, it is a corps with souls and core, and high morale."
"And Gao Han is the leader of this Manchester City!"
...
In addition to the Guardian, Manchester Evening News also reported on the focus battle with front page headlines.
The top headlines that were completely popular in Manchester, made a photo of Manchester City players throwing Gao Han into the air like stars, and used the red title [First Championship!!] to attract readers' attention.
In the comments, Manchester reviewed Manchester City's pursuit of championship honors over the past 30 years, during which time Manchester City was relegated four times. In the year when Manchester United reached its peak in history in 1999, Manchester City even hovered in the third-level English League Two.
This is definitely a shame for Manchester City, which has the largest number of fans in Manchester.
From 199 to 2000, Manchester City made a step forward every year and rushed to the Premier League, but in just one season, it dropped back to the Premier League. Fortunately, it quickly returned to the Premier League, but it has always been in the middle and lower reaches of the league, and has fought for relegation several times.
"Before Gao Han took over Manchester City, Blue Moon ranked tenth in the Premier League. Anyone who is familiar with the Premier League knows that this is a relatively high ranking that can reflect Manchester City's level. Therefore, last summer, no one could believe that Gao Han, the world's top legend, was willing to condescend to coach Manchester City."
"In just one summer, more than 400 million euros have been spent. Manchester City has undergone earth-shaking changes from the first team to the youth team. However, at the beginning of the season, many people still doubt Gao Han's coaching ability, and even once put him in a zero-point hat, humiliating and mocking his team's performance on the court."
"But just a few months later, Gao Han's team defeated the defending champion Manchester United with an almost overwhelming advantage at Wembley Stadium and won the first championship trophy of the new season. This not only broke Manchester City's championship drought for more than 30 years, but also made all those who had ridiculed and sarcastic Gao Han feel ashamed."
"Gao Han is still the same Gao Han. The Manchester City he coaches have also shown increasing competitiveness, especially after Kaka's comeback, Manchester City can almost be said to be invincible."
"Standing at this point in time, looking back, Manchester City spent more than 400 million euros in the summer transfer market, which was worth it. Not only did it burn the championship trophy, but it also had a strong competitive star lineup. Even based on Gao Han's past coaching history, Manchester City will surely be the number one favorite to win the championship in the Champions League next year."
"Let's wait and see together!"
...
In addition to the Guardian and Manchester Evening News, other British newspapers also gave Gao Han and Manchester City high praise.
The Times commented on the title "The Alpine Conquering England Again".
"Six years ago, Gao Han led Chelsea to win three consecutive championship trophys, Premier League and FA Cups, and after six years of separation, Gao Han returned to the Premier League, and once he made a move, it was shocking again. They will undoubtedly become the biggest winner of the season."
The Daily Telegraph, with the title "Manchester City's counterattack against the mortal enemy in the city", praised Manchester City's championship, especially Gao Han's arrangement in this game, believed that whether it was pre-match tactics or on-site command, Gao Han steadily overwhelmed Ferguson and drew, which made people couldn't help but start looking forward to the Champions League next season.
The Sun also commented on the game in the front page headline, "Gao Han won again, and everyone is used to it, just as if he was born to be a winner, and he is still continuing his myth."
In addition to major newspapers in the UK, newspapers in Europe and even other countries and regions in the world have also reported on them.
German Photo Bistro said, "This game gives people a very familiar feeling, and it seems similar. Gao Han used the three, four, and three formations many times when coaching Bayern Munich last season, but it was not mature enough at that time. Now it seems that Gao Han is still Gao Han, and he still has not given up on his pursuit."
"In the Premier League, which is known as the most fierce competition in the world, Gao Han tried to work with his own three, four, and three tactics. In just a few months, he built Manchester City into an invincible team. In this League Cup final, he even played the traditional Premier League overlord Manchester United in an invincible way."
Ferguson's old enemy and special guest of British BBC TV Alan Hansen commented on this game in the daily game of the TV program. In addition to highly evaluating Gao Han and Manchester City's outstanding performance, he also pointed the finger directly at Ferguson.
"Manchester United died of conservativeness!"
"Ferguson's opening lineup was too conservative, with three midfielders and the combination of Tevezga Park Ji-sung in the frontcourt told everyone very clearly from the beginning that Manchester United must defend and defend to the death."
"It is difficult for people who have never played football. The tactics set a tone for this game, allowing Manchester United players to react in the first half of their physical energy consumption, to retreat rather than persist."
"The retreat killed Manchester United, but Ferguson's conservatism caused the retreat of Manchester United players."
But Alan Hansen also said that no matter any team, they will feel extremely headache when they encounter opponents like Manchester City, and it is a big problem to just line up a lineup.
The famous sports program of Sky TV in the UK also reported on this game as soon as possible.
"This is definitely a disaster night for Manchester United."
"Ferguson, who has always been smart, has always believed that his team can defeat all powerful opponents with defensive counterattacks. As it turns out, defensive counterattacks have always been the best way for Manchester United to restrain other Premier League teams and even European giants, which has made Ferguson a little content with the status quo."
"But in this game, Ferguson's defensive counterattack could not work in the face of Manchester City with superb strength. The most proud defense line was torn apart by Manchester City's offense again and again. If Van der Sar had not performed well, Manchester United would probably have suffered a humiliating defeat in this game."
"Ferguson should thank Van der Sar for his magical performance of Gao Han's former disciple, who saved Manchester United's face, but how long can Van der Sar last? How many more games can he protect Manchester United's goal?"
Amid the overwhelming accusations from the outside world, Ferguson did not come forward to defend himself, and Manchester United remained silent completely.
It is not surprising that losing the League Cup final, because most people were not optimistic about Manchester United before the game. Instead, Gao Han and famous, they are the favorites to win the championship.
But losing in this way did make both Ferguson and Manchester United look dull.
But what else can I defend myself at this time?
Not only Ferguson and Manchester United, Gao Han led the team to win the League Cup, returned to Manchester from London and sent the championship trophy to the honor room of the city stadium, and only said in an interview with the media that he was in a good mood and that everything the team was under his control. Gao Han didn't mention any words about his opponents Manchester United and Ferguson.
Even if the media asked in person, Gao Han avoided answering.
Because he knew very well, Ferguson felt uncomfortable at this moment.
Since you win the ball, you should have the attitude of winning. It is not a gentleman to take advantage of the situation.
That is, on the afternoon of the day when the team returned to London, Manchester City's official website officially announced that the team introduced 15-year-old England youth team international Raheem Sterling from the Queen's Park Rangers for a high price of 2 million pounds.
Gao Han personally attended the signing ceremony of Sterling's franchise, but for the sake of protecting the young players, Manchester City did not hold a press conference.
Chapter completed!
