Chapter 400 They Will Always Live in My Shadow

Just like that, Saha left.

Before Carrick even came to Manchester United to report, Saha packed up and left, and he left completely.

Before leaving, Saha told the Guardian: "Manchester United ruined my year and a half."

"The memories at Manchester United are completely unbearable. I didn't get respect there. My form has always been fine. I averaged 0.53 goals per game. Why can I only be a substitute?"

"They will definitely regret it. This season, they will have nothing. In the next few seasons, they can only watch Chelsea win the championship."

Saha has a deep grudge against Manchester United. Originally, Ferguson bought Saha to replace Ruud van Nistelrooy, knowing that Rooney and Dong Fangzhuo came out of nowhere, and Saha could only become a substitute in the end.

However, not many people sympathized with him for his complaints, because at the center position, Dong Fangzhuo's statistics were much brighter. He was simply incomparable. He averaged 0.53 per game and scored one goal in two games. The data was not bad, but in Dong Fangzhuo couldn't do anything in front of him.

However, it is normal for Saha to complain a little. Ferguson and Manchester United have nothing to do with it. They just wish Saha a bright future on the official website and thank him for his outstanding contributions to Manchester United...

Then, before the double red meeting started, Ferguson welcomed 25-year-old Michael Carrick as he wished.

And Ferguson gave him the No. 16 jersey that Keane once wore.

This means that he is one of the players that Ferguson dreams of...

"With the arrival of Carrick, Manchester United's championship map is almost complete. Although Carrick is not as reassuring as Keane, he is very young. The No. 16 jersey is what Ferguson expected of him." "Manchester Evening News" in the first place Time has said of Carrick:

Position selection: 8

He has excellent positioning sense, covers a large area on the field, and is a solid barrier in front of the defense. With his presence, perhaps Sylvester and Pique will feel more at ease. In addition to defense, Carrick also has excellent passing scheduling ability, combining long and short passes, and they are all quite accurate.

Steals: 7

The defense is mainly about position blocking, and the speed of stealing and kicking is slightly slow, but due to good positional sense, it can make up for this to a certain extent.

Headers: 8

Good ability in fighting for the top and heading the ball.

Helps enhance the air defense capabilities of the back line.

Speed: 6

He is tall, has mediocre speed and explosive power, but can keep running at a constant speed and has excellent endurance.

Will: 7

It still needs the test and temper of the competition.

"Maybe instead of buying a defender, it's better to buy a midfielder. Carrick's arrival seems to be able to solve the problem of Manchester United's defensive holes?"

"Manchester Evening News" is full of expectations for the future of Manchester United...

Manchester United was recruiting heavily and finally introduced the midfielder they wanted. Naturally, Mourinho would not be let off by the media. He was caught by a reporter from The Times for an interview.

"What do you think of Ferguson's purchase of Carrick?"

"Carrick? A nice young man."

"But if Carrick comes to Chelsea, he won't have a place at all because there are Essien, Lampard, Makelele and Thiago..."

"So, I don't care who they buy at all, because the players Sir Alex Ferguson really wants to buy are all here at Chelsea." Mourinho smiled slyly. He was chased by Manchester United by 2 points last week. His mood was originally very bad. But now he has readjusted.

"Let's see what happens in the next double red match. Benitez's team hasn't beaten them for a long time. Do they want to keep losing? I feel ashamed for the Liverpool fans..."

Mourinho also used provocative tactics on Liverpool...

※※※※

Carrick has played in the Premier League for so many years, and it is still very simple to integrate into Manchester United. Ferguson had already put Carrick into the lineup in the last training session before the game, and the effect was average. After all, Carrick is not something Genius player.

But when it came time to announce the squad for the game against Liverpool, Ferguson still did not dare to take risks. He still chose to believe in the brave Smith...

Dong Fangzhuo actually welcomed Carrick's arrival, but he felt that it would be better if Sir Alex could buy Kolo Toure's younger brother Yaya Toure...

The 22-year-old Yaya Toure is definitely much cheaper than Carrick. I vaguely remember that when he transferred from Monaco in Ligue 1 to Barcelona in La Liga, the transfer fee was less than 1,000 euros!

Sir Alex Ferguson has definitely taken advantage of others.

However, when Sir Alex Ferguson bought Carrick in the summer of 2006, he spent 18.5 million pounds. Now it is not expensive to buy him with 15 million pounds. But if you compare Carrick with Yaya Toure, Carrick It's really incomparable...

Although he is the captain of Manchester United, Dong Fangzhuo actually has no right to recommend candidates to Ferguson. It depends on chance, such as when he was in the capital.

Another point is that Ferguson was too anxious. After seeing the hope of catching up with Chelsea, he didn't have much time to think so much, so he just wanted to add reinforcements as soon as possible.

However, Manchester United still has time to contact Yaya Toure. Dong Fangzhuo searched on the Internet and found that the 22-year-old Yaya Toure is still playing in the Greek league. Ferguson can still win him before he becomes famous. , at least, Ferguson does not need to always buy players with British accounts, which are expensive and not top-notch...

After all, one day, when Manchester United stands at the top of Europe and faces powerful giants such as Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Juventus, and Bayern Munich, the current configuration is really not enough...

If you miss it, you miss it.

Dong Fangzhuo wants to buy many teammates, such as the 18-year-old Brazilian left back Marcelo. Aren't these good complements to Manchester United?

The 16-year-old Bale, who is still in Southampton, is priced at a ridiculous price...

Although the buyer has nothing to do with him, he now feels that he really needs to find ways to influence Ferguson and build a better team for Manchester United.

Why should it be as difficult as before when you can go more steadfastly?

※※※※

Liverpool are at it again, aggressively.

Everyone knows that losing in the "Red Derby" at home against Liverpool on Sunday would be a real shame. Especially watching Manchester United continue to revive this season and catch up with Chelsea in the standings, the collision at Old Trafford is destined to be surrounded by the flames of hatred.

"No matter how Arsenal and Chelsea change, our hatred for Manchester United will not lessen." Liverpool captain Gerrard stood up and expressed his stance.

Liverpool and Manchester are only 30 miles apart. A road connects the two cities and carries the century-old feud between the two teams in England.

"If there is no championship, then beating Manchester United is my greatest achievement. Every Liverpool person is proud to beat Manchester United. Because the other side is the most successful club in England like us. We can't stand the other side's victory, as if we are being stepped on. Underfoot."

"Everyone knows that Chinese Dong, Luo and Rooney are responsible for most of Manchester United's goals. So our defense will try our best to stop them. We are fully capable of making them come back without success."

Gerrard's confidence comes from the team's solid defense, which has conceded 11 goals in the league so far, the defense played by Carragher and Hyypia, and the gate guarded by Reina. The Red Army has only lost once on the road this season.

Faced with Gerrard's rhetoric, Manchester United captain Dong Fangzhuo also issued a challenge to his old enemy before the game: "For both sides, this game is not only related to the league ranking. Defeating Liverpool has always been what Manchester United wants to do most. No matter what Manchester United players and fans are all looking forward to this great game."

"But Gerrard, don't forget, they lost to us at home in the last game, never mind that we are at home this time. Hyypia and Carragher are very strong, but they will always live in my shadow. .”

"If you don't believe it, go ask them..."
