The city derby Amorim is in high spirits. How will this double red meeting perform?
At Beijing time on Monday morning, we are about to usher in the first leg of the double red meeting this season; Looking at the predictions of major platforms in the past two days, they almost stand on the side of the home team Liverpool, and even firmly believe that Manchester United will lose its face and no longer see its loyal supporters; Of course, there are also a few stubborn cold snap parties who try their best to promote "Amorim is a big scene man, or unexpectedly defeat Sloot" and so on! Roughly summarize the focus of the dispute between the two sides, which actually focuses on the probability distribution, nothing more than the result of the game falls on the high or low end; It seems to respect reality, but deliberately ignores objective laws.
What does it mean? The most direct evidence comes from the previous unexpected victory of Manchester United in the Manchester Derby. Amorim won two consecutive victories against Guardiola; In almost the same environment and familiar formula, it is natural to look forward to replaying the good show, right? To put it aside, if you hold such an obsessive view, it is roughly equivalent to rashly concluding that: Liverpool has already flown and no longer cares about Manchester United + Manchester City, which is obviously contrary to common sense in the Premier League.
First of all, it must be clear that Liverpool and Manchester United are the most famous rivals in the whole league. Please refer to many local fans joking: Everton, the city rival of Liverpool, can simply condense three things in a season - eating, sleeping, playing Liverpool, and even ignore other things. Even if Manchester United is a traditional giant, there are higher pursuits in terms of seasonal goals, but facing Liverpool's continuous stay at the top of the Premier League, it can be said that it is both envious, jealous and hateful, but helpless; Obviously, only by looking forward to direct confrontation can we find some face and comfort the fragile little hearts of the players.
Can't cut it off. Although Manchester United is in deep water now because the new Premier League player Amorim has lost one after another, there is no doubt that he has been the worst coach in the past ten years, and there is no one else; Even so, Anfield, this red fortress, must stand firm no matter what; If timid and fearful, the club offers a quick solution, which is like an arrow on the string, and there is no room for hesitation. It happens that Manchester United fans often mention the past glory of desperate counterattack - it is said that knowing that there is a tiger in the mountain, they tend to go to the tiger mountain to hurt each other. Who is afraid of whom!
In general, Amorin is still trying and making mistakes, and time is running out.
It is intentional to create an atmosphere. This is the best skill of the British media who love to meddle in other people's business; For example, the "Mail" and the "Man Wan" wrote articles respectively, trying their best to render the importance of the double red meeting, strongly implying that this key battle has become a turning point in the overall trend of Manchester United, Liverpool and even the Premier League. However, they did not openly name Amorim or Sloot, but vaguely pointed to retaining the suspense of the league championship, which was most closely watched by the English Football Association behind the scenes; In fact, aiming at Liverpool's performance this season, compared with the defending champion Manchester City's frustration, the gap is too big.
Sloot's coaching skills are obvious to all, but he still needs to be alert in the more prosperous situation.
It's still messy, including the British public's rare phenomenon that Sloot debuted at the peak, which is a bit unaccustomed and even afraid of being short-lived, and finally ended up with failure. Jokingly speaking, such an extreme and contradictory mentality effectively proves that the media and fans are stunned -- there has never been a precedent. No doubt eating crabs, how dare to open your mouth easily. As the "Mail" frankly admitted, Guardiola, wearing the halo of a championship coach, is naturally tired of aesthetics, but the emergence of the archenemy Sloot is like a dimensional strike, which is really unbearable.
Standing in the position of empathy, let's agree that Manchester United is like a drowning dog, adding a rush of doctors in a hurry, and it deserves to be mired in the mud and unable to extricate itself; But when the attention turns to Manchester City, it is just trapped by unexpected injuries + domineering decline, and it will not suddenly collapse until it reaches a dead end. Moreover, as can be seen with the naked eye, in the last round, Guardiola finally gave up the old general Walker and winger Doku's first appearance with great pain, in line with the public opinion within the team, and tried his best to rise again. To a certain extent, this move profoundly draws lessons from the embarrassing lesson of being reversed by Manchester United 1:2 at home, aiming to open up the heart knot and better travel light.
It is difficult to maintain success. At this stage, from the management level of Manchester City to the coaching team and players under Guardiola, it is difficult to reach a consensus that must be changed; On the one hand, the backbone framework of the team is gradually aging and unable to reverse; Secondly, in the past, emphasizing ball control over offense seems to have fallen into a misunderstanding and urgently needs to update ideas. The two are superimposed, and the overall performance falls behind Liverpool and even Arsenal. This is what Guardiola absolutely cannot tolerate. It is an important driving force for him to renew his contract resolutely, but the situation is very severe. The prospects of Manchester City's top four are still fifty-fifty, and opportunities are needed.
Although Amorim defeated Guardiola and ushered in two consecutive victories, it undoubtedly buried hidden dangers.
Deep planning and careful consideration, relative to Liverpool's claim to be independent, even if the British public is very disgusted with the common progress and retreat of small groups within the league, this is an indisputable cruel fact, and does not shift with the will of fans; For example, according to media questionnaires, except for Tottenham, the Premier League's knife, Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea, four giants once had a tacit understanding, fought hard against Liverpool to expel foreign enemies, and avoided each other in time when they had the greatest hope internally, but the green hand Amorim broke the rules, and there would be no good fruit to eat next.
It's easy to shake the mountain. It is estimated that Manchester United is in a dilemma. Looking at the continued hovering near the relegation zone, it is really ridiculous; Conversely, if we let Amorim act recklessly, we will suffer a heavy blow from quasi allies, which may make us more embarrassed. Therefore, judging from the additional effects of human resources alone, this double red meeting on the weekend can only break the boat, eliminate all concerns, and spare no effort to hit Liverpool hard; Even if the final draw is equal, it is good to apologize to Manchester City and the young coach of the melon system late, and we must not give up on ourselves.
Compared with ten Hag, Sloot is much more clever, and even better than Klopp in dealing with people.
To sum up, the reason why Manchester City, Guardiola and his disciples are repeatedly mentioned is that please carefully taste the officials. The Premier League has never fought alone; There was Klopp who scolded the sky and the earth before. As a result, he was substantially isolated by his professional peers and eventually had an unhappy ending with the club. As for the successor Sloot, although the initial impression is more smooth and smart, with the gradual clarification of the championship situation, various reputation reversal may come unexpectedly. As the saying goes: everything is because of being strong, don't blame others for tripping, it is a universal truth!
Please note that at the beginning of the article, it is friendly to remind you that browsing various revelations before the game tends to support Liverpool's home victory, which has taken a prominent advantage; This also doesn't need to be verbose anymore. After all, Liverpool's strong strength and bright record are obvious to all, and no one can ignore it. Fortunately, the greatest charm of football comes from uncertainty. Sometimes the change between strong and weak is like destiny. Please wait and see, my dear fans!
