Chapter 29 Olive branches from other wealthy families
"Cristiano Ronaldo's 14th league goal of the season! A decisive and neat shot! Clean shot, beautiful goal! This is also Martial's fourth league assist of the season!
In the past ten league games, Martial's personal data has increased significantly after being reused by Coach Li, especially the cooperation between him and Ronaldo, which has become more and more tacit recently! "

"We still need to pair this type of fulcrum center with Ronaldo. The space will be opened up, and Ronaldo can save his energy and focus on scoring goals, which is what he is best at now..."

Accompanied by the excited commentary of Zhan Jun and Coach Zhang, Manchester United fans in China once again fell into a carnival of happiness.

Just like the local Manchester United fans who are now launching a red celebration wave at Old Trafford.

Ronaldo's goal aroused great enthusiasm in their hearts, and Li Chen's "listening" action of putting his right hand on his ear on the sidelines made them want to shout their throats out!
Famous handsome man!

Possible!

What's wrong with being a little bit cautious at the beginning?
Didn't you see that the team used all the energy they saved to break through the game? !

Once the ball was scored, all the pressure of the game was put on West Ham United.

If the Hammers dare to come out and fight for their lives, Manchester United will use their best quick counterattack to teach them a lesson!

It’s hard to say about other aspects, but when it comes to quick counterattacks, Manchester United fans are now full of confidence.

The team's traditional "DNA" plus Li Chen's more suitable tactical routines after adjustment, let alone the Hammers, even Manchester City and Liverpool now, would not dare to easily withstand Manchester United's three-pronged counterattack!
The excited and passionate cheering songs soon filled the entire Old Trafford.

Under this astonishing momentum, all the players on the West Ham United field had solemn expressions on their faces, and their mentality obviously became more tense.

Moyes no longer had time to communicate and discuss calmly with the assistant coach.

Now he could only seize the time to make tactical adjustments while praying in his heart that forward Yarmolenko, who was about to come on the field, would be able to perform brilliantly.

Two minutes later, the Ukrainian striker came on as a substitute, replacing midfielder Lanzini who had performed poorly in the frontcourt today.

It is obvious that West Ham United, which has finally made changes on the offensive end, hopes to open up the situation with a more direct combination of wing and center.

After Yarmolenko came on the pitch, he did not switch positions to the wing, but went straight behind Antonio and acted as the team's second striker.

Whether the effect was good or not is another matter. However, the posture of two tall attacking players of West Ham United standing in the Manchester United penalty area ultimately forced Li Chen to choose a safer substitution.

Lindelof and McTominay completed their warm-up and went on the field one after another.

The players who were substituted were Martial and Sancho, who performed well on the offensive end today.

Manchester United changed to 541, with Ronaldo at the front of the formation, continuing to put pressure on West Ham United's back line.

Li Chen's defensive thinking became very clear after such adjustments.

West Ham United currently does not have any outstanding wing attackers, so they place their hopes on the two forwards in the middle, so Manchester United's defensive focus will naturally be on the middle.

Within the penalty area, Maguire, Varane and Lindelof's three high points are enough to limit the performance of Antonio and Yarmolenko.

At the front of the penalty area, Matic and McTominay formed the strongest frontal interception line of defense.

Fred and B Fee, who are in an inward position, can further limit the passing and cutting penetration of West Ham United's attacking players in Manchester United's flank area.

At first glance, this defensive arrangement of heavily guarding the middle and leaving the sides open seems a bit risky.

But facts soon proved that there was absolutely no problem with Li Chen's trust in his own defenders.

The defensive strategy of opening up the flanks did give West Ham United's two full-backs plenty of space to get in and cross the ball.

But no matter how West Ham United got the ball into Manchester United's penalty area, the three Manchester United central defenders guarding Antonio and Yarmolenko were able to grab the ball in the first time and destroy West Ham United's offensive possession!

The defensive position of the three Manchester United central defenders is often that Maguire single-handedly marks a West Ham United striker, while Lindelof and Varane double-team another West Ham United striker.

Other West Ham United attacking players who were involved in the forward run were dealt with by the two full-backs who moved inwards and the defensive midfielder who retreated to the penalty area.

Maguire, who was only responsible for head-on interception, turned into a defensive god in the last 20 minutes of the game!
Neither Antonio nor Yarmolenko could get any advantage against him.

Moyes' expectations were completely dispelled by Maguire's heroic headers time and time again.

That is to say, B Fee headed the cross from Ronaldo deflected in a quick counterattack in the 82nd minute of the second half, otherwise the suspense of the game would have been killed before the final whistle.

However, this little episode could not change the final outcome of the game.

West Ham United ultimately failed to break through Manchester United's steel wall. Maguire completely suppressed Antonio and did not give his opponent any chance.

Thanks to his continued excellent defensive performance throughout the game, Maguire was successfully elected as the official best player of the game!
All Manchester United players and fans are very convinced by the results of the selection, including Cristiano Ronaldo who scored the winning goal today.

There is no way, Maguire's performance in the last half hour of the game was really outstanding.

It is no exaggeration to say that the vast majority of fans watching the game focused their attention on Maguire, who successfully headed the ball again and again in the final stages of the game!
Ronaldo expressed his admiration for Maguire's performance today by patting his head affectionately.

In an interview after the game, Maguire also expressed his gratitude to his teammates and head coach Li Chen.

“I did have a tough time in the past few months, but now everything is over. I am very grateful to my teammates for their continued support. Of course, I also want to thank the boss for his trust in me!
From the beginning to the end, the boss encouraged me to do what I am good at boldly - frontal interception, header confrontation, bold ball... Even when I was in the whirlpool of bad public opinion, the boss did not give up on letting me regain my confidence in the game. I am really grateful for the trust he gave me..."

Maguire's sincere speech touched a large number of neutral fans after the game.

This smart, simple and responsible English man did not become self-pitying or lose heart when he was ridiculed and mocked by fans all over the world.

On the contrary, when he reflected on his own problems, he still maintained a strong heart and the courage to face reality!

In the face of adversity, Maguire chose to continue to shoulder his responsibilities.

No matter being ridiculed or blamed, as long as the team needs him, he will stand up without hesitation and continue to face the impact of opponents head-on.

Fortunately, this time, Li Chen, who encouraged him to play boldly, developed a detailed tactical protection plan for him.

Maguire, no longer frequently attacked by opponents, regained his confidence when he first joined Manchester United. The special training plan formulated by the coaching staff for him to strengthen his left-footed passing ability further made up for his technical defects.

At least now, he is not really afraid of his opponents pressing him specifically based on his left-foot passing problem.

Maguire's counterattack performance made fans around the world once again calm down and re-recognize this hardworking and responsible England defender.

Li Chen's ability to "revive" a Manchester United player made fans from all walks of life sigh in admiration.

"To be honest, Manchester United's top management really needs to give Lee a pay rise and a contract extension. Without Lee's success in saving the club, Manchester United's losses would probably be hundreds of millions.

The loss of the top four spots in the league plus the significant reduction in the value of these prime-year stars, if you do the math, I think my statement is conservative. "

"No, no, no, not conservative at all, as a Manchester United fan, I agree with your remarks 100%!
In fact, signing Lee is the most correct thing Woodward has done since taking over Manchester United, and now they must reach a contract extension with Lee as soon as possible, otherwise I will definitely go to the club office building with my friends, I promise! ”

"In fact, Li doesn't have to work in the Premier League, especially in a club like Manchester United, which has so many conflicts. Why not consider coming to Barcelona? We have a lot of young talents for him to train."

"Well, when it comes to coaching environment and young talents, we in Dortmund..."

"Fuck! Stop trying to poach my friends!"

……

Li Chen, whose reputation has risen again, has become a hot commodity in the eyes of powerful teams across Europe who are considering changing their coaches.

Being young and not having coached alone for long enough are certainly Li Chen’s “two major flaws” now.

But this so-called defect is not really a defect compared with his advantages such as strong ability to choose the right dish, solid tactical foundation and not forcing the club to spend money on signings.

Not to mention that Li Chen seems to be quite good at coaching young players.

If this is used well, maybe he will be the new Wenger as a young coach.

Just look at Arsenal now to see how stable and lucrative a Wenger can bring to a club.

Arsenal is now able to invest heavily in new players year after year without affecting the club's financial health. It really has to thank the professor for laying a solid economic foundation for the club.

Kroenke Jr. is now willing to invest money in Arsenal to enhance its strength.

But if Arsenal had not built the stadium bit by bit and wiped out the debt under Wenger's leadership, the Kroenke family would have to spend money to pay off the club's debts now.

As for how much money Kroenke is willing to spend on the club with insufficient hematopoietic capacity after the debt is wiped out, it depends on Kroenke's sense of responsibility and mood.

There is only one head coach like Wenger in the history of modern football development.

Now that Li Chen has shown similar qualities to Wenger, he has naturally quickly attracted the interest of a number of wealthy teams with average financial conditions.

On January 1, Li Chen, who had given himself a few days of rare vacation, returned to Turin to visit the "fat old man" Mourinho.

As a result, just as he arrived at the hotel in Turin and put away his simple luggage, his agent Mendes called him quite unexpectedly.

At first, Li Chen thought Mendes wanted to talk to him about renewing his contract with Manchester United.

But soon, Mendes' excited words made his eyes widen in surprise.

"Are you kidding me, Jorge? Are you sure the Bayern executives want me to take over the team next season?"

"Of course I'm sure, Li! Kahn called me personally. He wants to find a time to talk to you in detail, and I've also received official contact requests from Juventus and Barcelona!"

When Li Chen heard that so many wealthy clubs were interested in him, he was happy but also a little confused.

"But why did these teams choose me? You know, Jorge, these big teams always pay attention to the qualifications and coaching time of the head coach."

"Hey, times have changed. That's one of your favorite things to say, Lee. And you should be thankful that you didn't strongly oppose the so-called team-building plan of the Manchester United executives."

"Huh? How do you say this?"

"The communication between the major clubs is already frequent, and the circle at this level is very small. You did not oppose the team building plan of Manchester United's top management, nor did you force the winter transfer window to recruit players. You also brought the team's performance up. Do you know how much the current top management likes coaches like you?"

Li Chen patted his head with a smile, well, in love, everyone wants to get something for free without investing a lot of money.

Several senior executives of Bayern may feel that their current lineup does not need major adjustments, so they need a head coach who listens more to the management and is better at communicating with the management to get through the team's rebuilding period.

Another thing is that Li Chen doesn't seem to be picky about players. He can make good use of different types of players. So can he reactivate several key players in Bayern's midfield?
Mendes expressed his several guesses, and Li Chen nodded slightly, still quite convinced by these reasons.

But when it comes to Barcelona, ​​their ideas are surprisingly consistent.

Who doesn’t know that Barcelona’s financial problems are very serious now?
In this situation, if they still want to trick Li Chen into taking over the team, then they are simply taking advantage of Li Chen's ability to coach players for free under the guise of changing the coach!

Therefore, Li Chen thought that he could keep in touch with several other wealthy teams for the time being, just as a few more fallback options.

But for Barcelona, ​​which has many problems, Li Chen signaled Mendes to politely refuse first, indicating that it is difficult for him to consider coaching Barcelona.

However, he made a proper decision first, but some wealthy club leaked the news. Soon, Sky Sports was the first to reveal that many wealthy teams were actively contacting Li Chen!

Generally speaking, the club concerned can calm the wave of public opinion by doing some informal public relations to dispel the rumors.

But this time, the three top clubs most likely to sign Li Chen in the summer, Barcelona, ​​Bayern and Juventus, all tacitly did not come out to refute the rumor in time...

The discussion heat of related topics quickly soared to its peak!

Woodward, who had been confident about completing the contract renewal with Li Chen, was now really panicked.
