"It was a very good game, but unfortunately, I lost again." This time, Benitez was a little calmer.
He did the best he could do, studying opponents, formulating tactics, boosting morale, commanding on the spot...
His Liverpool once saw the dawn of victory, but Duncan used a miraculous substitution, and when the team was in poor condition, he relied on the wing to blast resolutely, abruptly snatching three points from Liverpool's arms up.
Although he lost, Benitez did everything he could, and felt more relieved.
"Your team played very well, I think you will be proud." Duncan praised sincerely.
The praise from the opponent is the highest compliment.
"Thank you." Benitez smiled bitterly: "But in the end you won."
"Fight again next season." Duncan said.The two will definitely not have the chance to play against each other this season, and they can only wait until next season's league to fight again.
"...Well, we can only wait until next season." Benitez said with a wry smile.Then he gestured, turned and left.
As a loser, although Benitez is calm, he is not in a good mood.He also needs to reassure his players.
A season of hard work, in exchange, it seems that the big four are all in vain!
Yaya Toure approached Gerrard and offered to swap jerseys.
With a bitter face, Gerrard didn't say anything, took off his jersey and handed it to Toure.
After taking Toure's jersey, Gerrard briefly hugged Toure, nodded, and turned to leave.
When the team lost, he didn't have so many pleasantries.
This game actually has a decisive change in the entire Premier League structure.
Manchester City and Manchester United emerged as the eventual league title contenders.
In the league, there are only 11 rounds left.
The next game will decide the first championship of the season, the League Cup champion.
In fact, the League Cup matches are not as important as the FA Cup.Therefore, in each round of the League Cup, everyone will actually send a substitute lineup or a youth team lineup to play.
But the final is different, whether it is important or not, it is a trophy!
The first championship of the season is just around the corner, and it must be seriously fought for!
However, the date of this final is scheduled to be two days before the first round of the Champions League knockout round, which is a bit painful.
What players to send to the battle depends on the determination of the head coach.
"Will Duncan win six consecutive victories against Manchester United? "
Before the League Cup final, such a headline appeared on the front page of the "Manchester City Post".
The report mentioned that Duncan has now won five consecutive victories against Manchester United. These five consecutive victories are on all fronts, and each game is invaluable.
And now, the stage of the Manchester Derby has moved to the final of the League Cup.
Can Duncan continue his winning streak against Manchester United?
This is a topic that many people care about.
And as a talking point, he's sure to have some impact, especially against the two teams at the center of the maelstrom.
For Manchester United, which has lost five games in a row, "losing against Manchester City" seems to have become a knot in their hearts. Once they play against Manchester City, the "losing streak" mentality will have a domino-like chain reaction.
Such a change in the mentality of the players was unexpected by Ferguson.
"The outcome of every football game is unknown. Only through formation, tactical arrangement and on-the-spot command can the outcome of the game be affected. So it is normal for Manchester City to lose to Manchester United, and Manchester United to lose to Manchester City It’s also normal. It’s just a coincidence that Manchester United lost five games in a row, that’s all. Didn’t I end Arsenal’s 49 unbeaten games with my own hands?” Ferguson said lightly light.
He is trying his best to downplay the impact of the "five consecutive victories" on Manchester United players.
"Is it a coincidence? That's not necessarily true. We can say that there are accidental factors in the outcome of a game, but the consecutive victories of five games prove that we still have experience in defeating Manchester United. What is the experience? Sorry, I'm sorry." Can't tell you, otherwise Manchester United would be prepared? Carabao Cup final? I think I have a lot of experience in beating Manchester United, and this experience is full of weapons in my arsenal, I believe, just take out a weapon or two Come, you can kill Manchester United." Duncan laughed.
He and Ferguson said exactly the opposite. Ferguson was downplaying the five-game winning streak, and Duncan tried his best to form the influence of the "five-game winning streak" into a kind of fatalism, giving Manchester United players a psychological hint of "you will definitely lose".
This is not deliberate, but it is a kind of homeopathic action by Duncan when he is constantly playing against Manchester United.
As for "the experience of defeating Manchester United", this thing is a matter of opinion.Manchester United's own strength is strong, and the outside world pays more attention and analysis. On the contrary, their weaknesses can be more clearly exposed.
From this point of view, Duncan does have a little more experience in defeating Manchester United than in defeating other teams.
……
May 2, Wembley Stadium, London.
Two teams from Manchester will decide the winner of the League Cup this season here.
In this game, the two teams coincidentally sent out a rotation lineup.
Ferguson had to do the rotation for the Champions League.On the premise of ensuring that the team's main players have sufficient physical strength to compete in the Champions League, he must send out as much force as possible in this game.
On Duncan's side, the rotation was also carried out, not because of physical problems, but because the League Cup itself is a game for substitute players and rotation players to exercise.
So although there will be adjustments and there will be some main players, the lineup will still be dominated by substitutes.
"Viewers friends, welcome to Wembley Stadium, London. I am your friend Martin Taylor, and I will comment on this game with our special guest, Andy Gray."
"Hi everyone, I'm Andy Gray. I speak for Duncan, and I cheer for Manchester United!" Andy Gray in the camera said energetically.In order to show his support for Manchester City, he specially put on a Manchester City scarf today.
Andy Gray paused, and said: "But there is one thing, I need to appeal to Mr. Duncan. As a loyal fan of Manchester City, I am cheering for Manchester City every game this season. But..." Then Andy Gray made With an aggrieved expression, he pulled the scarf around his neck: "Why are the scarves around Manchester City five pence higher than the retail price of Manchester United?"
Andy Gray's expression caused a burst of laughter.
There were many people in front of the TV, all of whom were amused by him.
"Since you support Manchester City as always, then as your friend, I must stand on the opposite side of you." Martin Taylor coughed and said: "If this is the case, then I will support Manchester United!"
Then Martin Taylor took out a Manchester United scarf that had been prepared a long time ago and put it around his neck.
The two took the lead in separating the camps.
The explanations of the two people, although on the surface they distinguished the camps, seemed to be tit for tat.But in fact, it is more of a program effect, and some contradictions can also be artificially set in the commentary of the program to enhance the entertainment of the program.
Moreover, the two teams themselves are the opponents of Derby, natural opposites, and the two teams are on separate teams, which is closer to the fans and more down-to-earth.
But when it comes to understanding the content of the explanation, the two will still try to be as objective as possible.
After all, objectivity is the bottom line of a commentator.
