Starting with saving Manchester United

"Hahaha, did you guys see that? 4-0!"

"They were already leading by four goals in the first half."

In the stands at Upton Park, Woodward would excitedly stand up from his seat and cheer loudly for the Manchester United players whenever they scored.

Just like the Manchester United fans around me who followed the team to the away game.

He was not only happy about Manchester United's lead, but more importantly, he was overjoyed by the huge surprise that Yang Fan, whom he trusted, had brought him.

Who would have thought that Yang Fan would achieve two consecutive victories after taking over the team?

"They really performed very well, and the players' mentality has changed significantly compared to before." John Motav shared Woodward's joy.

"Most importantly, the team made significant rotations in this match, saving up for the Manchester derby next Wednesday. A win against West Ham United away from home will give the team even more confidence."

Even someone like Woodward, who knows nothing about football, knows very well that winning two consecutive matches against the city derby is a much better situation than when Moyes was in charge.

At the very least, Manchester United now has the strength to fight back.

"It seems I made the right bet by letting Yang Fan take over the team!" Woodward was also very excited.

Having made the right bet, he now speaks with more confidence in front of the Glazer family.

As Woodward's confidants, John Mottaf and Alan Dawson knew very well that they now needed to unite against a common enemy.

The first to be affected are those guys from Class 92.

Yang Fan is the sharpest knife in Woodward's hand!

"John, I've heard that several departments in Carrington are still somewhat disobedient to Yang Fan."

After the initial excitement, the competition resumed.

That's pretty much it for the first half.

As Woodward spoke, he gave John Motav a friendly smile. "You still need to keep a close eye on him. As I said before, the most important thing right now is to do everything we can to support Yang Fan."

Mottaf felt a chill run down his spine, cursing Carrington's group inwardly.

In fact, he couldn't completely control these departments either.

Who can blame them when those people have been with Manchester United for so many years, and they were all personally cultivated and poached by Ferguson?

Many of them have a status and connections in British football that are no less than, or even surpass, John Mottaf's.

How much control does Mottaf have over them?

Despite the fact that this was the case, Mottaf nodded very seriously, "I will pass it on to Carrington, and I will go to Manchester on Tuesday to prepare for the city derby."

Woodward looked intently at Mottaf, nodding in satisfaction, but still felt somewhat helpless.

He really has no one under his command!

John Mottaf's greatest achievement was serving as Everton's Director of Development, responsible for youth training.

But as one of the top clubs in the Premier League, any department head at Manchester United would be a big shot in the industry.

Unfortunately, they were all promoted or poached by Ferguson, and they also had close ties with the Class of '92, which made Woodward dare not confide in them at all.

Now that they've brought in Mottaf, can Mottaf manage his subordinates?

To be honest, Woodward wasn't stupid, and he didn't believe it either.

Is there any way to do this?

The situation might be better if we sent Mottaf to Carrington.

But Woodward needs someone who truly understands football by his side so he can ask questions whenever he needs them.

This is the current state of Manchester United!

On the contrary, it was Yang Fan.

Woodward received messages from Yang Fan every day through Jackie Kay.

Woodward grew increasingly impressed with Yang Fan's competence.

But now, Carrington really needs Yang Fan to be there to oversee things.

Fortunately, Van Gaal has decided to officially take charge of Manchester United after the World Cup.

At that point, Woodward decided to recall Yang Fan to the London headquarters.

As for the rest of the season, Woodward will try his best to cover it up as long as it doesn't cause too much public discontent.

Such talent is rare!

……

Manchester United secured a resounding 4-0 away victory against West Ham United, thanks to a brace from Rooney and goals from Fellaini and Mata!

If this had happened during Ferguson's time, it probably wouldn't have been big news.

At best, it can only be described as a brilliant victory.

However, in this disastrous season, especially after Moyes was sacked, two consecutive victories greatly boosted Manchester United's morale and surprised many.

With the outcome already decided in the second half, Yang Fan made three substitutions early on.

This includes replacing Ferdinand with the young player Michael Keane.

This is to conserve energy for the city derby next Wednesday.

At the post-match press conference, Yang Fan stated in front of numerous reporters, "Our goal is to defeat Manchester City and prove to everyone that we, Manchester United, are not cowards!"

Yang Fan expressed satisfaction with the match and specifically praised the outstanding performances of several players.

First up is Rooney.

"He's the kind of player who can do whatever he wants on the football field. He's scored in two consecutive games, and tonight, in particular, he scored a magnificent goal!"

"Even more spectacular than Beckham's goal!"

"Including his two goals tonight, his total goals for Manchester United have reached 215, ranking third on the club's all-time top scorers list in its 136-year history, behind only Bobby Charlton and Denis Law."

"He's destined to become a Manchester United legend!"

After praising Rooney extensively, Yang Fan also expressed satisfaction with Fellaini's performance, saying, "Since joining Manchester United, he has gone through a difficult adaptation process, but fortunately, it's all over now."

"Mata is not a flop; on the contrary, he has extremely strong individual abilities, and he can form a strong synergy with Rooney and Fellaini."

"Unfortunately, he will not be able to represent the team in the Champions League."

"I hope he can maintain his current form and help the team achieve better results in the league."

Yang Fan also specifically mentioned veterans Evra and Ferdinand, as well as Fletcher's return from injury.

"Evra and Ferdinand are both currently injured and not at their best, as is Fletcher, who has just returned from injury, but they have all made huge contributions to the team in London."

While Manchester United secured a resounding 4-0 away victory against West Ham United, their next opponent in Manchester, their city rivals Manchester City, thrashed Fulham 5-0 at home.

The 31st round of the Premier League was absolutely insane!

Chelsea thrashed Arsenal 6-0 at home.

Liverpool came from behind to beat Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Cardiff City 6-3 away from home.

Everton beat Swansea 3-2 at home.

In addition, there's the Manchester City match.

The entire 31 rounds were filled with one crazy goal-scoring feast after another!

If the red card was the main character in Chelsea's thrashing of Arsenal, then the most eye-catching player in Liverpool's match was Suarez, who scored a hat-trick and provided an assist.

The Uruguayan striker is at the peak of his career.

For Manchester City, Yaya Toure also scored a hat-trick, becoming the most watched player.

When asked by the media, Yang Fan denied that Manchester City was better than Manchester United.

"This is indeed a crucial match."

"The city derby is always the most special and the one that fans value the most."

"But I don't agree with what the outside world says about a huge gap in strength between us and Manchester City."

"On the contrary, I think our strengths are very close. As long as we give it our all, we will definitely be able to beat Manchester City at home and show everyone our strength!"

Regarding Champions League qualification, Yang Fan stated that the matter is not over yet.

"We still have a chance!"

"Just before noon today, who could have imagined that Wenger's team would suffer a humiliating 0-6 defeat to Chelsea away from home?"

"We have 51 points now, and they have 63 points. This morning, the gap between us was 15 points."

"Don't forget, we still have one game in hand!"

"Every year in March and April, Wenger's team always experiences a slump, and I believe this year will be no different!"

Media reporters at the scene also asked Yang Fan questions about the Champions League.

Just yesterday, Bloomberg Sports used big data analysis and calculations to conclude that Bayern Munich is currently the most likely to win the title, with a 36.7% approval rating, while Barcelona is second with 31.3%.

How much is Manchester United?

A mere 1.4%.

In terms of the probability of advancing to the quarterfinals, Manchester United has a 12.8% chance of advancing, while Barcelona has a much higher 87.2%.

These two teams also had the biggest gap in the four quarter-final matches.

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan shook his head with a cold laugh, "Fake news!"

"I can understand that Bloomberg wants to enter the field of football big data. They always want to make a big splash and generate some news, which is why they produce such bizarre and unreliable data."

"We will prove with our performance on the field that they are better suited to reporting on finance."

Reporters in the Upton Park press conference room were surprised by Yang Fan's remarks.

Unlike Moyes, who was humble and polite in front of the media, Yang Fan was very flamboyant and radical.

For some reason, the media reporters at the scene felt that this was more like the style of the Manchester United manager.

Because that's how Ferguson used to be.

Even though his face was swollen from being slapped, he remained stubbornly defiant.

What is Moyes most criticized for?

怂！

He conceded defeat to Manchester City; he conceded defeat to Chelsea; he conceded defeat to Liverpool...

He looks very classy, ​​doesn't he?

But in the eyes of the players and Manchester United fans, this was incredibly cowardly!

Do journalists like Moyes?

Yang Fan didn't think so.

Because what the media wants is traffic.

Creating conflict generates news and traffic.

Moyes, you admit defeat after losing a game. You've shown sportsmanship, but that's not newsworthy.

Therefore, the media can only create news by criticizing Moyes.

But now, Yang Fan's performance has undoubtedly inspired and excited them.

Throughout the entire press conference, Yang Fan kept an eye on the camera area in the back row.

A fleeting glimpse at Old Trafford three days earlier left a deep impression on him.

Unfortunately, London was Fleet Street's stronghold, and the area was packed with reporters, so he didn't see that person again.

It seems I really was seeing things.

As Yang Fan left the press conference hall and the crowd of reporters gradually dispersed, Zhang Han carefully put the old Nikon F4 camera back into her camera bag.

She was a temporary photographer hired by a domestic portal website.

Her main job is as an international student, and the digital camera next to her is her part-time job. Only things that interest her will be photographed on film in this Nikon F4 camera that her mother left her.

She busied herself tidying up, a graceful smile playing on her lips as she murmured a name she had only heard of a few days ago.

"Yang Fan..."
