Lord of Greenery

Chapter 340
Although Ferguson is stubborn, but when he is really preparing for the game, he will not be arrogant.

Although knowing that the war of words may not have much effect, Ferguson still took the initiative to raise the topic.

"Inter Milan is Li's team alone. As long as we defend him, we will win half the battle."

"Mourinho? He is an excellent coach, but it is a pity that he went to Serie A. He left the top league and fled the most competitive place."

As soon as Ferguson spoke, he was targeting the two most important people in Inter Milan.

"Before I came, Inter Milan was already the Serie A champion. Wesley and Diego, who came to Inter Milan with me, performed equally well. He said that Inter Milan is my team alone. I think he is Didn't watch our game carefully." Li Ze firmly denied this statement.

"If you really want to say, Manchester United is the kind of one-man team." Li Zeke didn't intend to just defend. "After Ronaldo left, it seems that Manchester United's competition for the league championship is not going well?"

Leaving others aside, Rooney will definitely be unhappy when he hears this!
"Whether the competition in Serie A is strong or weak, is he qualified to judge?" Mourinho said disdainfully, "He only dares to coach at Manchester United, he dare not leave the place he is most familiar with."

Ferguson fought back immediately, and was quickly pushed back by Mourinho.

Li Ze quietly withdrew from the battlefield and prepared for the match with peace of mind.

Ferguson scolded him by name, but didn't blast Li Ze out.

Ferguson had expected this situation, but he still had a headache when he actually encountered it.

What made him even more troublesome was the situation of Rooney, the team's top player.

After Ronaldo left Manchester United, the task of the Red Devils top card undoubtedly fell on Rooney.

Rooney did not live up to Ferguson's expectations of him.

In the past few seasons, Rooney's scoring efficiency was not very high. This season's scoring efficiency is almost double that of before!
It is said that Rooney is the peak of his debut, but there is no doubt that his performance this season has undergone a qualitative change compared with the past.

However, it is not wrong to say that debut is the pinnacle.

After all, Rooney's level may not be stronger than it is now.

It's just that he had to take on a lot of defensive tasks before, and the core of the team was Ronaldo instead of him.

The Portuguese had unlimited firepower, and he didn't.

After he became the core of the team, he naturally has such a privilege.

Facts have proved that Rooney can also perform at the level of Ronaldo when he gets more opportunities.

The problem is that, after such a good performance, something went wrong instead.

The first is the salary. Rooney clearly expressed his desire for a salary increase through his agent.

For the salary issue, Ferguson has not let go.

Even though Rooney's scoring efficiency is so much higher, he still refuses to relax, or even dare not relax.

It can be seen from the example of Tottenham in later generations that players' salaries are full of knowledge.

It is definitely good to give more money, but the club will have no money. It is definitely good for the club not to give more money, but it is also easy to make the players feel alienated.

In the Manchester United team, Rooney's salary is already very high. If it is higher, the annual salary will exceed 1000 million euros.

This salary is much higher than other players in the team.

If you want a salary increase, you can't just satisfy Rooney.

In other words, many people must have a salary increase.

Even if Manchester United is rich and powerful, it cannot easily develop this kind of atmosphere.

Moreover, once things like wages go up, they basically cannot go down, so we must pay attention.

Rooney asked for such a high salary, no matter how much Ferguson admired him, he would not agree easily.

What's more, in Ferguson's eyes, Rooney is always not as irreplaceable as Ronaldo.

Recently, Rooney has also been plagued by injuries.

It's really hard to say whether this game can start against Inter Milan.

If the main purpose is to heal the injury, then he must not be able to play, let alone start.

But in the world of competitive football, it is normal for minor injuries not to leave the line of fire.

A player who is really ruthless will play even if he is closed.

Rooney wants a raise, so he is naturally unwilling to sit on the injured bench.

Ferguson wants to eliminate Inter Milan, but also cannot do without his help.

In the current Manchester United, Rooney's partner on the striker is Berbatov, who has high hopes, and Ronaldo's replacement, Nani.

Berbatov is known as the handsome brother. As a center, he has almost perfect skills and physical fitness, but the only thing he lacks is attitude.

From this perspective, he really does not have the genes of the Red Devils.

Perhaps Ferguson only saw his technique but not his attitude.

As for Nani, this young man actually performed quite well this season.

As Ronaldo's successor, his performance is even better than that of Ronaldo when he was a rookie!
However, he is not without problems. Compared with the peak Ronaldo, his state is not very stable.

He can't provide a stable goal, and his performance is a bit nerve-wracking.

In short, both of them have a lot of potential, but also have a lot of flaws.

It's not a big deal in front of ordinary opponents, but what they have to face now is Inter Milan!

This is by no means an easy opponent.

Ferguson must rely on Rooney, and now only Rooney can save Manchester United.

As for his injury, as long as there are no serious consequences, Ferguson intends to let him play. Rooney himself knows this, and he is not angry.

Now, even the two of them don't know whether Rooney will be able to play on the day against Inter Milan.

Not sure yet, but Ferguson is at it again.

"Unfortunately, Wayne's injury is more serious than expected, and he may not be able to play in this game."

He didn't say this directly to the outside world, but to his own media reporters.

Then through the mouth of the reporter, use the so-called "insider" to expose this possibility.

Under the operation of Manchester United's strong commercial capabilities, the news quickly spread to Italy.

That's how Inter Milan knew the news.

"If it's true Rooney doesn't play, that's good for us."

"His condition this year is really good, much better than before, but he is still not as good as Li."

"If it is true, then we will definitely win, and the rest of Manchester United will not be worried!"

"Whether Rooney can play or not, we will definitely win in the end!"

The players were discussing in full swing, and Mourinho naturally would not be ignorant.

"Don't take it seriously, you can't trust even a single punctuation mark in what Ferguson said."

It's not that Mourinho will believe what Ferguson says.

If he was really so naive, he would have lost all his life.

"With Rooney and without Rooney on the opposite side, we have to practice it!"

In this way, Inter Milan increased the workload before the game.
