Chapter 752 War of Words [Part [-]]
Time passed quickly, and before we knew it, it was May 26th, two days before the competition.
Before the game, the two sides had to have a war of words as usual.
What's more, Ferguson and Levi are both very powerful in the war of words, and they will naturally not give up one of their best offensive methods.
It was Li Wei who first provoked the war.
He found time to accept an interview program with Liverpool TV, but he only played 10 minutes in the program, and his time was very tight.
Although it was only 10 minutes, in these 10 minutes, Li Wei still broke out a lot of things that excited the fans.
The host asked: "Li Wei, what do you think of Manchester United, the opponent in the Champions League final? He is the overlord of the Premier League!"
Levi said with a look of disdain: "Manchester United? Yes, they are very strong. As for you saying that he is the overlord of the Premier League, I don't agree. Maybe he used to be, but that is already a thing of the past. Now the overlord of the Premier League is Liverpool! Liverpool double play in the league Manchester United, in the standings, Liverpool beat Manchester United by six points to win the championship. Doesn’t everything that just happened in the Premier League explain the strength and weakness of Liverpool and Manchester United?”
The host asked again: "At the just-concluded awards ceremony, Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar narrowly beat Liverpool goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to win the Golden Glove award. What do you think of Van der Sar winning the award?"
Li Wei did not directly answer this question. He said: "Liverpool played against Manchester United in the league, and van der Sar scored five goals in each match. Sa?" (The 40-year-old van der Sar announced his retirement at the end of this season.)
The host asked: "It is said that you once had the opportunity to coach Manchester United. Is there such a thing?"
Although this incident was widely spread, Li Wei has never publicly admitted this incident, and of course he did not refute it, in other words, he acquiesced.
Because this topic is a bit embarrassing, but this time Levi did not hide it, he said frankly: "Yes, but I think I was tricked by Manchester United at that time! Those liars got my planning report for Manchester United from me, I can say that I proposed to buy many players that Manchester United is buying now! But it doesn’t matter, I said that Manchester United will regret it! They will definitely regret it! Even if they don’t say it, they will definitely regret it!”
…………
Naturally, Manchester United got relevant reports at the first time. Even if they didn't know, those reporters who were afraid of chaos in the world would "kindly" remind Ferguson.
Ferguson fought back through interviews with reporters the next morning.
"I know what Levi said, but it's not a big deal. Liverpool did perform well under his leadership this season, but it's just one season. You know Manchester United won more than one league under my leadership. Champion. Even if it is three consecutive championships, I have won it three times. It is hard for such a young man to imagine that he will continue to succeed!"
"In terms of the Champions League, we are more experienced than Liverpool. Before this season, Levi had not played in the Champions League for two consecutive seasons. Before that, Levi had only coached Parma and participated in the Champions League for one season! Manchester United under my coach has never missed a Champions League game, and this is the second time in three years that I have led Manchester United to the Champions League final! Speaking of experience, I am much richer than Levi!"
Ferguson implied that Levi was too young.
This youth not only means that Li Wei has little experience, but also means that Li Wei is young and energetic, and it is easy to do some irrational things.
"Lee Wei said that he made Manchester United regret it and regret it for the rest of his life. What do you think?" the reporter asked.
Ferguson thought for a while and said: "I said before that Levi is very young, so it is actually easy to understand what he said. It is like my child, when he fought when he was young, he would say that I will definitely kill you. But you It is clear that my boy has not killed anyone, he is a good citizen with no criminal record. This is just a young man's angry words, you don't take it seriously?"
The reporters said unconvinced: "But now it seems that they are not angry words, but vows of revenge that will soon become reality!"
Ferguson smiled. He shrugged and said, "A Premier League champion, what does this represent? What's more, even if Levi leads Liverpool to better results, Manchester United will not regret it!"
Reporters asked: "Why?"
Ferguson said confidently: "Because Levi is not suitable for Manchester United! His character is too tough, and it is difficult for a head coach like him to find the soil for survival in modern football. In fact, even a head coach like me who has coached Manchester United for decades The coach, until now, cannot handle the relationship between himself and the players at will. Even if he succeeds in Liverpool now, it is only temporary. There are many such coaches in football, and Ancelo is the closest Dee, he was Chelsea's hero last season, helping Chelsea win the Premier League title, but look at how far Chelsea has led by Ancelotti this season? And where is Ancelotti?"
"Being the head coach of a wealthy team is different from being the head coach of an ordinary strong team! Levi can coach Liverpool well, but he can't manage Manchester United!" Ferguson vowed.
The reporters' eyes lit up, and he said, "You mean Liverpool is just a strong team, while Manchester United is a giant!"
Ferguson said: "Of course! Although I don't deny that Liverpool used to be a giant, but this is already a thing in the 80s of the last century! Look at how many shots Liverpool have made since the 80s of the last century? They are just a team Strong team!"
The reporters said: "Levy said that most of Manchester United's transfer players in recent years came from Levy's original plan for Manchester United."
"No!" Ferguson resolutely denied: "There is absolutely no such thing! Don't you think I'm old enough to obey a brat? Manchester United's transfers in recent years have all been approved by me, in other words, leading transfers It's not some unsubstantiated transfer plan, but me!"
"Of course, I don't deny Li Wei's gaze, they have a lot of good players in their lineup!" Ferguson changed the subject, and then said: "Unfortunately, as far as I know, they didn't get the income that matches their abilities. Such as Yaya Toure, his weekly salary is only 14 pounds! It is really unbelievable, if such a player is in Manchester United, his weekly salary is at least 25 pounds! And Suarez, how good he is Player! It is said that his weekly salary in Liverpool is only 20 pounds! What a humiliating treatment! The same top striker Rooney can get [-] pounds a week at Manchester United. If Suarez gets at least [-] pounds a week at Manchester United salary!"
Ferguson's words are disgusting. They are not his players anyway, and these players have performed really well. Opening their mouths will double the opponent's weekly salary.
After the players hear it, will they have no thoughts in their hearts?
Will Li Wei give them a raise then?Or no raise?
If there is no salary increase, the core players will have opinions and may even rebel.
A salary increase, even if it is not doubled like Ferguson, as long as it is a salary increase, other Liverpool players will definitely have a salary increase.
At that time, Liverpool's expenditure will not be a matter of increasing the salaries of two players, but a matter of increasing the salaries of more than 20 players!
