Starting with saving Manchester United

Van Persie's diving header brought the game back to a stalemate.

The scales are even starting to tip in Manchester United's favor.

This goal was a big blow to Manchester City.

Especially in the last 10 minutes of the game.

Trailing 1-3, Manchester City failed to display the tenacity and resilience expected of a team determined to win the title.

This is actually what has been criticized about Manchester City over the years.

Apart from the season they won the Premier League title, when they occasionally showed fighting spirit, for the vast majority of the time, Manchester City has been known as a veritable army of hired hands.

To put it bluntly, they simply rely on sheer strength on paper to crush their opponents.

Resilience? Playing against the wind?

These are not things that Manchester City excels at.

This was clearly demonstrated in the last 10 minutes.

Even after Yang Fan substituted Welbeck for Van Persie early, Mata still managed to create a corner kick.

Rooney's corner kick almost gave Fellaini a header.

Unfortunately, the shot hit the crossbar and failed to find the net again.

Manchester United's physical condition hit a bottleneck, while Manchester City lacked fighting spirit. In the last 10 minutes, apart from Fellaini's header, there were no highlights to speak of.

The match is over!

The moment the whistle blew, the cheers of more than 75,000 Manchester United fans surged like a vast ocean, engulfing every corner of the stadium.

Manchester United fans in the stands were singing and dancing wildly, appearing almost frenzied.

This has been a disastrous season!

Especially at Old Trafford.

Manchester United have lost almost every Premier League top 10 team they've faced at Old Trafford, except for a narrow 1-0 victory against Arsenal.

How outrageous and unbelievable is this?

Even before the season started, no one would have believed that such a disaster would happen to Manchester United.

But it is precisely because they have experienced these painful and torturous matches that the Old Trafford fans went so wild when Manchester United defeated Manchester City 3-1 at home!

They unleashed all the pain they had endured throughout the past season in this victory celebration.

The Manchester City players all hung their heads and quickly left through the tunnel in the southwest corner of the stadium.

As they left, Manchester United fans in the Stretford stands mocked and ridiculed them relentlessly.

Some fans even beat drums and sang songs to "send off" the losers as they left.

Yang Fan shook hands with Pellegrini and then stood on the sidelines.

When Van Persie scored, he really looked exhausted and weak!

This competition is so intense and exciting!

I feel like my heart could jump out of my chest at any moment.

But when the game ended, standing at Old Trafford and hearing the thunderous celebrations from the fans in the stands, he felt incredibly proud and honored!

This is the life I want!

Zhang Han, did you see that? I've finally stepped into the spotlight!

And this is just the beginning!

Unbeknownst to Yang Fan, in the media area of ​​the south stand behind him, a female photographer from China was holding a Nikon F4 and taking a picture of his back.

In another VIP box, the Class of '92 players, seeing the players celebrating on the field and hearing the cheers of the fans, were all furious.

"This guy's got incredibly good luck!"

"Who would have thought that Manchester City, on a four-game winning streak and aiming for the title, would perform so poorly in this match?"

"Pellegrini is a complete idiot! No wonder Real Madrid sacked him!"

"Who can argue with that? A renowned coach who reached the Champions League semi-finals lost to a rookie? It's a joke!"

"With this kind of garbage performance, you think you can win the championship?"

"If Manchester City wins the title this season, I'll eat shit while doing a handstand on live stream!"

"I'll watch them die when they face Arsenal in London this weekend!"

Giggs and the others were all furious with hatred.

"However, Yang Fan won't be so lucky against Aston Villa this weekend, given how fiercely he fought in this match."

……

The moment Yang Fan pushed open the door to the home team's locker room, a deafening roar of voices and cheers filled the room.

Manchester United were thrilled to defeat their city rivals Manchester City 3-1 at home.

Even after the game ended and they returned to the locker room, the players were still not over the victory.

Even Raphael, who wasn't playing, was jumping around and gesturing wildly.

As soon as Yang Fan entered, everyone fell silent.

But everyone was watching Yang Fan.

Yang Fan was also looking at them, as well as the lights above their heads.

[Status] The lights are all different, including red, yellow and green, representing the different levels of player fatigue.

But the "Confidence" lights are all green.

The lights in the [organization] have mostly turned green.

This is the effect of a dialogue between strong players!

If a week ago they were very resistant to Yang Fan serving as the interim head coach...

So now, at least they are able to accept it and are willing to cooperate.

At this moment, the entire locker room was waiting for Yang Fan to speak.

First of all, congratulations to everyone!

"This is a great victory, and you deserve it. I am so proud of you!"

"On this magical night, when everyone in the world doubted us, you silenced them all with a victory, demonstrating to all Manchester United fans and the world what the Red Devils spirit truly means!"

As soon as Yang Fan finished speaking, another round of cheers erupted in the locker room.

The players were all shouting excitedly.

"On behalf of the coaching staff, I would like to congratulate you and thank you for your hard work in this game."

"We have a day off tomorrow morning, and recovery training in the afternoon, so..."

Upon hearing this, the players' eyes were filled with anticipation, even longing.

"Nemania, Rio, Patrick."

Yang Fan called out the names of three veteran players, "You're in charge of organizing the celebration tonight. It's 22 PM now, and it must be over by 2 AM. All expenses will be covered by the club. Give me the details tomorrow!"

"Wow, that's awesome!"

"Awesome!"

"Let's go to Museum Street!"

Mike Phelan and Steve Lund, standing behind Yang Fan, exchanged a glance and both agreed that Yang Fan's decision was good.

The players fought tooth and nail to defeat Manchester City, so they definitely deserve some reward.

Is it just talk?

What's the use of that?

It's only fun to eat, drink, and have fun at public expense!

"I have only one request: Nemania, Leo, and Patrick, the three of you must keep a close eye on the man. It must be over by 2 a.m., and you can't cause any trouble, especially... you know what I mean."

Yang Fan didn't say it outright, but the Manchester United players all knew what it meant.

Women are always a hot topic in nightclubs.

Manchester United's most famous party was the Christmas party organized by Ferdinand, which was caused by a woman.

"Alright, I won't say anything more. Have fun, everyone."

"Remember, don't cause trouble at 2 AM!"

What followed was just some routine work.

For example, players like Rooney and Van Persie can be interviewed by the media.

This is also a regular program for players after the game.

Yang Fan was going to attend the post-match press conference.

Steve Lund didn't say a word from beginning to end, but he could tell that Yang Fan was much more to the liking of the Manchester United players, both in his speech and actions.

Just like the post-match speech.

If it were Moyes, he would definitely praise them, but he wouldn't let the players celebrate, because he was afraid something bad would happen.

In addition to praising him, he will definitely also say a lot of admonitions, such as that there is a game against Aston Villa this weekend and a game against Barcelona next Wednesday, and that every game is a decisive battle and that you can't relax.

Does this make sense?

Have!

But it was clear the players didn't like to hear it.

They've just finished a tough battle, just defeated a strong opponent, and all they want to do is enjoy and relax.

This is what they deserve.

Is it really appropriate to remind them, urge them, discipline and restrain them at this time?

Moyes' management style is traditional, but outdated.

……

As Yang Fan prepared to head to the press conference hall, the Glazer brothers, accompanied by Woodward and John Motav, arrived at the locker room.

This surprised Yang Fan and everyone else.

The Glazer brothers walked over to the Manchester United players and said a few words to them.

It was essentially an affirmation and encouragement of their performance in the match.

Then he chatted with Yang Fan for a few meaningless pleasantries.

"I've already spoken to Ed; we'll fully support you for the rest of the season!"

Avram Glazer held Yang Fan's hand and encouraged him.

"So don't feel burdened or pressured, just relax and let go, we believe in you!"

is it?

Yang Fan was somewhat surprised.

After the Glazer brothers left, Woodward pulled Yang Fan aside and told him the reason.

"Ferguson said I'm a monster?"

Yang Fan found it both funny and absurd.

Is this a compliment or an insult?

"Don't worry, I can tell from your voice that you're being praised."

Row!

Yang Fan nodded.

Being praised by Ferguson makes all the hard work of cleaning up Moyes' mess worthwhile.

"John and I will stay in Manchester tonight and head to Carrington tomorrow morning for another department head meeting to reaffirm our support for you. Feel free to suggest how you want them to cooperate with your work; I'll support you!"

Yang Fan nodded.

John Mottaf claimed to have taken over these departments, but Yang Fan could also see that Mottaf didn't have much control over them.

In the end, Woodward had to step in personally.

In any case, San Dezi at least holds the power to appoint the heads of these departments and control their finances.

"There's one more thing, which the media department just reported to me."

Woodward relayed to Yang Fan that during the Sky Sports live broadcast, Gary Neville, the commentator, made an indiscreet remark, comparing Yang Fan, who was directing the game from the sidelines, to a monkey in a circus.

"What do you think?" Woodward asked Yang Fan for his opinion.

Yang Fan understood Woodward's meaning perfectly well.

He himself found it quite funny.

Do these self-proclaimed experts really think they're above the law and can arbitrarily give unsolicited advice?

But that's not surprising.

Around 2026, this group of Class of '92 legends will have thoroughly criticized almost every manager and star player in Manchester United's history.

Their own coaching abilities are a complete mess, yet they act like they know everything about football, bossing everyone around.

With the previous mutiny temporarily suppressed, Yang Fan couldn't easily make a scene.

Now, to make matters worse, Gary Neville has actually handed me a knife.

"Sue him!" Yang Fan decided immediately.

Woodward nodded. "I'll immediately arrange for a lawyer to gather evidence and sue him for defamation."

"Is it just slander?" Yang Fan asked rhetorically.

Woodward was taken aback. "What else?"

Judging from the current signs, slander is the most obvious one.

Especially considering that Gary Neville had already made many biased comments when commentating on a Manchester United match coached by Yang Fan.

Sky Sports certainly wouldn't want to protect such an outspoken commentator.

But in Yang Fan's view, that's not enough.

"I think this involves racial discrimination!"

racism?

Woodward was taken aback at first.

Damn it, I just wanted to teach him a lesson, buddy, do you want him dead?!

In the world of football, this is a more serious crime than defamation.

"Ed, tell the lawyer that I am severely traumatized, both physically and mentally. I will not only sue him for defamation and racial discrimination, but I will also file a complaint with the FA to ensure he receives the punishment he deserves!"

Yang Fan had long disliked Gary Neville.

Since they've come to us asking for a beating, wouldn't it make us look petty if we didn't teach them a lesson?
