Starting with saving Manchester United

54 Applause at Old Trafford

"It's now the 70th minute of the match."

"The score remains 3-0, Manchester United are in the lead for now."

Manchester United have already used up all three of their substitutions.

"This is clearly preparation for the Champions League knockout stage next Wednesday."

"Aston Villa also used two substitutions, and took advantage of Manchester United's mentality by continuously pressing high up the pitch, causing Manchester United a lot of trouble."

"We can hear Vidic calling out to Smalling, signaling him to calm down."

"That's certainly how it should be."

"Manchester United are now leading by three goals and playing at home, so they should adopt a more energy-efficient style of play."

"Smalling, unmarked on the right flank, slowly dribbled forward, raised his right hand, and signaled to his teammates to stay calm."

"Aston Villa are still not backing down and are preparing for another wave of pressing in the attacking third."

"But we must see that Manchester United, playing with a three-man defense, is clearly more composed when facing the opponent's pressing and pressure."

"This is also the biggest change brought about by interim head coach Yang Fan."

"Smalling suddenly launched a long pass, finding the space behind the defense in the attacking third."

"Welbeck successfully beat the offside trap and controlled the ball with his chest just outside the penalty area."

"He's past the onrushing goalkeeper Guzan, time to shoot again!"

"Goal!!"

"4 to 0!"

"Manchester United scored again in the 70th minute!"

"A very sudden long pass!"

"This is the attacking tactic Manchester United has been employing lately!"

"Initiate a long pass directly from the back line to the front."

"We were just saying that Welbeck scored twice against Aston Villa, but both goals were close-range finishes."

"And this time, he broke the offside trap and had a one-on-one opportunity."

"Smalling's long pass was very sudden."

"Just when everyone thought Manchester United was going to control the tempo, they seized the opportunity and suddenly launched a long pass behind the defense."

"Vlaar is indeed a very good center-back, but he has a hard time stopping Welbeck in terms of speed and impact."

"4 to 0!"

"The entire Old Trafford stadium is cheering!"

……

"The game has entered stoppage time."

"We can see that both teams are now intentionally slowing down the pace."

"Aston Villa's attack in the final stages of the game did not produce the desired effect."

"Vidic's comeback has had a very noticeable effect."

"Youngster Michael Keane made a very strong impression on us in his first Premier League start."

"There are 3 minutes left in the game."

"Manchester United fans in the stands at Old Trafford were very excited."

"The 4-0 scoreline made them very satisfied!"

"Although Yang Fan has no experience in playing or coaching, the changes he has brought are obvious."

「6比0狂屠奥林匹亚科斯、4比0客场屠杀西汉姆联,再到主场3比1击败曼城。」

"Now, at home again, we're leading Aston Villa 4-0."

"If one victory is accidental and two victories are luck, then Manchester United's four-game winning streak is enough to convince people that Yang Fan has indeed brought about tremendous changes to Manchester United."

"Look at Manchester United's attack this time."

"Fletcher sends a straight pass forward."

"Chicharito Hernandez controlled the ball with his back to goal, had no chance to turn, dribbled back, and then passed it back to Cleverley."

"Place it on the left wing and give it to Dutch left-back Alexander Buttner."

"Mata, come over here and receive the ball in the half-space."

"Find Welbeck!"

"A beautiful one-two pass!"

"Mata dribbles into the left side of the penalty area and delivers a low cross into the box."

"Hernandez, making a late run, slides in and shoots!"

"Goal!!"

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"

"Hernandez!"

"Chicharito, who replaced Rooney, scored another goal for Manchester United in stoppage time."

"5 to 0!"

"This is Aston Villa's most humiliating defeat of the season!"

"Before this, Paul Lambert's team's biggest defeat was in the 29th round, a 0-4 away loss to Manchester City."

"And in the end, still in Manchester, they suffered a crushing 0-5 defeat!"

"Manchester United played a very beautiful game."

"It turns out that Manchester United's players aren't lacking in ability, but rather that their potential hasn't been unlocked."

"When the Red Devils got back on track, their fighting power was still quite astonishing."

……

The moment referee Atkinson blew the final whistle, all 75,000 Manchester United fans in the stadium rose from their seats to cheer and applaud the players on the pitch!

Rooney, Van Persie, and others who were already sitting on the bench all rushed out of their seats and excitedly hugged each other on the sidelines.

This scene also left Ferguson, who was sitting in the VIP section of the West Stand, feeling quite emotional and wistful.

I even feel a little nostalgic.

"Martin, what do you think?"

Sitting next to him, Martin Ferguson adjusted his glasses and said, "As you said, every step has been taken very carefully, and every game has shown improvement. This is completely different from the Moyes era."

"How should I put it?"

Martin Ferguson carefully considered his words before saying, "A team like that inspires confidence!"

confidence?

Ferguson nodded silently.

This is the most precious thing on the football field!

Players who lack confidence are nothing more than lost lambs to the slaughter once they step onto the field.

"Judging from the lineup configuration in this game, his starting lineup should be able to be adjusted well when he arrives at Camp Nou next Wednesday," Martin Ferguson analyzed.

"This result is the result of rigorous and scientific calculations."

"Calculated?" Martin Ferguson was shocked.

Ferguson nodded. "He's a top student in economics from the University of Bristol, and he's naturally good at calculations."

"His current core team consists of Mike Phelan, who oversees the overall situation and sets up plans, and Steve Lund, who is in charge of training."

"There's also a game analyst, Paul Brand, as well as Andy Walker and Paul Gaudino, the latter two of whom are responsible for monitoring the players' physical condition and injuries."

Paul Brand is new, and Martin Ferguson is not familiar to him.

But since he's a match analyst, he should be good at analyzing matches.

Martin Ferguson is familiar with Andy Walker and Paul Gaudino; these two youngsters are quite capable.

"Besides the core coaching team, he also delegated the locker room authority to the veterans and key players on the team. It is said that he also has a RACI matrix from corporate project management."

Martin Ferguson was completely bewildered by his brother's words.

Especially that matrix thing, he had never even heard of it.

What is that?

"I don't know the specifics, but I've heard it's a system for allocating responsibilities and authority, and there's also a whole post-match debriefing process that can continuously identify and resolve problems that arise during the game, so the team's overall performance can keep improving."

"Then you're invincible?" Martin Ferguson was even more shocked.

"How could that be? The key lies in the people!"

Moyes is still studying management.

So, how well did he manage things?

"Then next Wednesday we'll play Barcelona..."

Ferguson's eyes dimmed. "Even if I lead them myself, we still can't win!"

Ferguson has now lost two consecutive Champions League finals against Barcelona.

Even though Barcelona is no longer at its peak, Manchester United's decline is even more severe.

"Losing on the road with dignity is considered a victory!"

Ferguson sighed helplessly, "With this four-game winning streak, and especially the changes that Manchester United has shown, quite a few people should be paying attention to him."

The four-game winning streak is just the surface; what's truly captivating is Manchester United's transformation!

Martin Ferguson nodded repeatedly.

……

After seeing Paul Lambert and his Aston Villa off, Yang Fan walked to the sidelines to greet the players as they returned from their farewell ceremony.

He warmly hugged each player.

Manchester United fans in the stands were chanting the players' names one by one, giving them applause and cheers.

This is what they deserve.

Especially Michael Keane, who made his first Premier League start for Manchester United and played the full 90 minutes.

The 21-year-old performed well in this match.

When Yang Fan hugged him, he didn't hesitate to offer his praise.

In Yang Fan's previous life, Michael Keane was loaned to Burnley, a newly promoted team in the Premier League, in the summer of 2014. After playing in the Premier League for only half a year, Burnley bought him outright for £260 million.

A year and a half later, in the summer of 2017, he transferred to Everton for £2850 million.

This guy's skills are definitely not bad; he's been called a simplified version of Maguire, which speaks volumes about his technical abilities.

Manchester United cannot afford to lose any of their previous three matches against Olympiacos, and Manchester City's match is a highly anticipated derby between the two sides. Both of these matches are crucial, so Yang Fan dares not risk using him.

In the second away game against West Ham United, the team's overall formation was not stable enough, and Yang Fan did not take the risk of starting him.

That's why it's been kept until now.

The same situation applies to Batner.

The Dutch left-back is actually quite good; he just didn't live up to his potential in his previous life.

After seeing off Rooney, who was left behind, Yang Fan followed closely behind, turning around and walking quickly toward the players' tunnel.

We have to be fast.

What if the fans throw pizzas again?

Just as Yang Fan was about to step into the players' tunnel, he suddenly heard a voice from above.

"Yang, well done!"

Upon hearing the shout, Yang Fan froze completely.

He wondered if he had misheard.

But the next moment, another voice came from above.

"Keep it up, Yang!"

Then another voice came: "Yang, well done!"

One after another, more and more voices came, reaching Yang Fan's ears with increasing clarity.

There was no thunderous cheering from the players, but it was by no means a perfunctory echo.

The shouts were chaotic and lacked any rhythm or harmony.

Even when he called out "Yang," it was clearly very awkward.

But the shouts spread like ripples.

Finally, even on the other side of the players' tunnel, in the Stretford stands where Manchester United die-hards gathered, there were fans chanting.

Yang Fan stood frozen at the entrance to the players' tunnel, his face filled with disbelief.

They're not throwing my pizza away anymore?

"They're calling you."

Rooney walked over, grabbed Yang Fan, and half-pushed him back onto the field.

"Keep it up, Yang, you did a great job!"

"You've done well enough, Yang, keep it up!"

"Don't worry, we support you!"

"You didn't make the wrong choice!"

The live broadcast of the match has not yet ended.

This scene was shown to fans all over the world.

All the media reporters who came to the scene saw it.

Although it wasn't the unanimous chant of over 7 people, and although Yang Fan hasn't yet won over all Manchester United fans, the Red Devils' eyes are sharp, and many have already made their choice.

Yang Fan, who was just worried about being hit by pizzas thrown by fans, was truly moved at this moment.

This recognition from the fans, just like the team's four-game winning streak, is the reward for his hard work during this period!

With that thought in mind, Yang Fan waved to the fans in the stands on both sides to express his gratitude before walking into the players' tunnel.

……

"Will you hire a plane to carry banners again for the next match?"

In the VIP box of the South Stand, this scene unfolded right before the eyes of several players from Class 92.

They could clearly see the cheers and applause from the fans in the stands.

The fans have made their choice!

Nicky Butt's ill-timed question was like a slap in the face to several other Class of '92 players.

Especially the Giggs and Neville brothers.

Is it worthwhile to continue hiring planes to fly banners?

"That bastard!" Gary Neville was so angry he almost ground his teeth to powder.

"Buy tickets! I want to go to Barcelona and see him die at Camp Nou with my own eyes!"
