Chapter 622 Fabregas
Ferguson has focused on Arsenal, and the key player he has studied is Fabregas.
Ferguson tricked Wenger from the Lamacia youth training camp. The reason why the 18-year-old super genius was so concerned because he saw Yin Jun's shadow in him.
Like Yin Jun, the Arsenal midfielder gained a foothold at Arsenal at the age of 17, and then became Arsenal's midfield core at the age of 18.
Even Fabregas, like Yin Jun, has a broad vision and a deep pass skill. As long as his teammates run out of time, he has the ability to send a fatal first pass.
In addition, he also has a strong desire to score and a good sense of goal, which is exactly the same as Yin Jun.
It is precisely because of its almost the same growth trajectory as Yin Jun that Fabregas is called "small Yin Jun" by many British media.
After Vieira left the team, gun fans in London and the world regarded him as the team's hope, and his glory was unparalleled. Many Arsenal fans believe that Fabregas will sooner or later become the altar of world football like Yin Jun.
Fabregas did not disappoint. Although Arsenal has struggled in the Premier League this season, he performed well in the Champions League, advancing to the knockout stage with an unbeaten record of 5 wins and 1 draw.

"Fabregas has a strong ability to pass and threaten the ball, don't give him a chance to get the ball easily," Ferguson said.
In the old man's opinion, Fabregas's shortcomings compared with Yin Jun is that his physical attributes are much worse, his speed of handling balls, poor running ability, poor defense, poor heading, and slow speed.
In addition, the most important thing is the spiritual level.
Yes, Fabregas was very calm and stable when he got the ball on the court, and he could even have a flash of inspiration, directing some offenses and goals that make people look pleasing to the eye.
However, if you want to become the core of a midfielder of a giant-level team, the golden light that Buddha will play in meditation should be lasting and can act as a decisive needle with your own strength. When the team encounters difficulties and needs someone to stand up, the real core should be unacceptable, especially in the midfield where the whole game is connected to the gains and losses of the game.
From the current point of view, Fabregas's performance in this regard is not satisfactory.
"Press him, focus on attacking him, destroying him, and causing him to make forced mistakes. Use all legal means to anger him," Ferguson said.
"We can accept the draw," he said with a smile. "It would be better if he could get a sneak attack and take away three points."
"But I will never accept losing." Ferguson said seriously, "We are the team that competes for the lead with Chelsea. We are defeated by the team that ranks low and can't afford to lose that person!"
There was a burst of laughter in the locker room.
……………………
The second half begins.
As expected by Ferguson, Arsenal launched a fierce attack on Manchester United's halftime amid the cheers of home fans. Especially the two sides, they were unprecedentedly active, constantly attacking Manchester United's defense.
Faced with Wenger's adjustment, Ferguson immediately made targeted adjustments. The tall O'Shea was in the middle, and Park Ji-sung, who had excellent running ability, and Fletcher's sweeping defense area was enlarged to support the wing, while Yin Jun's position was slightly retreating and was ready to support three midfielders at any time.
This adjustment immediately curbed Arsenal's just-started offensive.
Wenger looked at Ferguson from a distance with a irritable look. This bastard's tactic is extremely conservative. Could it be that this guy is really satisfied with the score of 1:1 and doesn't want to fight back at all?
You know, after Chelsea won West Ham United yesterday, it was already 5 points ahead of Manchester United. If Manchester United didn’t score 3 points today, it would be 4 points behind Chelsea, which is not so easy to chase.
……………………
No matter how unhappy Wenger is, in fact, this is the case. Manchester United performed very conservatively, and Ferguson seemed to be satisfied if he was determined to hold the 1:1 score.
"Ferguson and Manchester United can accept being able to take one point away from the away game," said John Motterson. "With Arsenal, Manchester United will indeed be 4 points behind Chelsea. But the league schedule is just halfway through, and Manchester United still has enough time to catch up with the score."
At this time, the camera gave a close-up to the fans in the stands. A hot-shaped blonde female fan yawned and was about to fall asleep.
"The game is very dull, and the fans are almost asleep." Leinker shook his head and said, "The game is broadcast live in more than 120 countries and regions around the world, but this dull scene may disappoint the fans."
The game was dull, but Ferguson sat very comfortably. He was in a happy mood when he saw Arsenal repeatedly failing to succeed. Especially when he saw Manchester United stopping Arsenal's attack, he clapped and nodded, looking satisfied.
The director deliberately gave him a close-up, believing that this will make Arsenal fans dislike this person even more.
……………………
The game has been in the sixty minutes, and the score on the field is still 1:1.
Among the commentators from all countries who live broadcast this game, some commentators are already criticizing Ferguson for his conservatism.
Ferguson couldn't hear these criticisms, and even if he heard them, he wouldn't pay attention. His job was to lead Manchester United forward, win, and get points, rather than please the media and commentators.
Moreover, as a senior football coach with more than 30 years of coaching experience and countless honors, Ferguson has a deeper understanding of the coach's working environment. You don't pay attention to some finger-and-shooting voices. As long as you can lead the team to win, as long as your coaching performance is excellent, those who criticize you will praise you and become your licking dog. Even if they still have the intention of sanctioning and criticizing you one day, as long as you keep winning and leading the team has excellent results, they will have no choice but to praise you.
Ferguson got up from the coach's mat, and he came to the sidelines and whistled.
It was like the starting gun was fired, and Manchester United suddenly stepped up the midfield press.
A few minutes later, Yin Jun and Park Ji-sung joined forces to intercept the ball from Fabregas's feet. Manchester United suddenly launched a quick counterattack. Yin Jun passed the ball directly. After Rooney pulled the side, he passed the ball into the penalty area. Fanny headed the ball, and the football was saved by Lehmann.
However, the football did not completely leave the dangerous zone, and Kloe Touré did not clear the ball and kicked far. Evra, who followed, directly shot a long shot. The football came out of the baseline against the post, which shocked Arsenal fans in a cold sweat.
"This is obviously a premeditated counterattack," said Leinker. "All Premier League coaches know that Ferguson hopes to take advantage of Fabregas's physical fitness decline and suddenly strengthen pressing and want to steal a counterattack opportunity."
