Ferguson is an absolute old fox, especially good at psychological warfare.

Sky TV will record a pre-match interview with the head coach of the top four in the Premier League in every round of the league. This is a convention, and Ferguson is best at hitting his opponent's psychology through pre-match interviews.

For example, before the 27th round of the league, Ferguson publicly stated that in the remaining twelve rounds of the league, Manchester United will perform better than all their opponents, and Arsenal and Chelsea will lose points in a row.

As for Manchester United, Ferguson said that the team had lost all the points they should have lost.

After a period of relentless pursuit, Manchester United drew one and lost in the 25th and 26th rounds of the league, drew Tottenham Hotspur away, losing to the city's arch rival Manchester City at home, and only scored one point in two rounds.

In contrast, Arsenal won Manchester City away first, and then Blackburn at home, winning two games, reversing Liverpool to the top.

In this case, Ferguson pointed his finger directly at Arsenal.

Ferguson's psychological warfare was indeed a bit nonsense. He seemed to be saying, "Anyway, I have lost points, you will definitely lose points with me. At first glance, isn't it very illogical?"

Yes, Ferguson's psychological warfare is no logic, very nonsensical, and even a bit old man's reliance on his or her old age and making trouble, but you must admit that it really works.

It's really strange, because in the first game of the 27th round, Arsenal challenged Birmingham away, which was not a difficult opponent, but Arsenal seemed to be in a daze.

Just two minutes into the game, Birmingham central defender Martin Taylor flew to Arsenal striker Da Silva on a defense, causing the latter to have a serious fracture and was forced to leave the field. Martin Taylor also paid the price of a red card for his barbarity.

But surprisingly, after gaining a numerical advantage at the beginning, Arsenal played poorly and was scored first by Birmingham. Then, Walcott scored twice in the second half and reversed the score, Arsenal should have been sure to win.

But unexpectedly, in the last minute of stoppage time, in the 94th minute, Krish missed the ball and knocked down Birmingham's forward in the penalty area. He was awarded a penalty kick by the referee, and the result was 2-2, tied!

Arsenal lost points!

After the game, all public opinion exploded!

Everyone thought that Ferguson's psychological warfare worked.

Under the interference of this almost nonsense psychological warfare of the Red Devils coach, Arsenal really lost points.

Who would have thought that if the Gunners were playing away against Birmingham, they would have one more person than their opponents at the beginning, but instead were tied? Or would they have been tied at the last moment?

However, some media believe that Arsenal's situation is mainly affected by the national team game, because they were the earliest kick-offs in this round of the Premier League, and players have less time to resume and adjust.

But no matter what, losing points in such a situation is indeed very surprising and puzzled.

In contrast, Manchester United and Ferguson's team challenged the Magpie Newcastle away, and the result was very easy. Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo both scored twice, Saha scored in stoppage time, and Manchester United finally beat Newcastle five-1.

After these two goals were scored, the Portuguese finally caught up with Yang Yang this season, reaching 21 goals.

Since Yang Yang has never scored a goal in the past period of time, so the number of goals so far is still 22.

The two are only one step away, and the media close to Manchester United have also begun to hype, believing that Cristiano Ronaldo has also exploded this season and is bound to successfully counterattack in the second half, suppressing Yang Yang and becoming the number one star in the Premier League.

But with the outbreak of Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo's bracelet scored twice and was getting closer, and everyone paid more attention to the game that took place later than Manchester United, Liverpool's home match against Middlesbrough.

Previously, Beniteste gave Yang Yang a week off for a holiday, which was widely concerned and reported by the media. But now, after Yang Yang returns to the team, can he wash away his previous sluggish performance?

Not only are Liverpool fans and opponents paying great attention, but even some neutral fans are full of curiosity.

…………

…………

Although it has attracted attention, in fact, Yang Yang did not have this game.

Benitez played a 442 formation, with goalkeeper Reina, defense line Aurerio, Hypia, Scotter and Finnan, midfielder Riser, Lucas Reva, Mascherano and Gerald, and frontcourt double strikers Kuyt and Crouch.

In order to challenge Inter Milan away from home in the mid-week, Liverpool arranged for Yang Yang and Xavi Alonso to sit on the bench.

At the beginning of the game, Liverpool took advantage of the home advantage and launched the first attack, but Middlesbrough scored the first goal.

The visiting team used a free kick cross from the right, and Scotter, who had just joined the team, failed to keep an eye on the person and was headed by the opponent's player Sangli in front of the goal.

At this time, the game only took nine minutes.

But ten minutes later, Liverpool equalized the score, Riser made a cross from the left, and Kuyt took the lead and pushed the ball.

In the 29th minute, Aurelio passed the ball from the left, and Gerald shot hard from the right side of the front of the penalty area to overtake the score.

The game then fell into a stalemate, especially in the second half, in the 61st minute, Liverpool could not capture for a long time, Middlesbrough made a long pass, and Downing forced a breakthrough from the left, entered the penalty area and scored a goal from a small angle, 2-2.

I have to say that Downing's performance this time is very good. The English local left winger, who is only 23 years old, has performed better and better in the past two seasons. He has always wanted to strengthen the left side and Liverpool, who has introduced a substitute for Yang Yang, also pays great attention to him.

After Tang Ning equalized the score, the game started again, and the two sides still played hard to match.

Four minutes later, Benitez arranged for Yang Yang to play as a substitute, and at the same time changed the team's tactical style and returned to 433.

...

When Yang Yang appeared to warm up, there were shouts everywhere in the entire Anfield Stadium.

Although he performed poorly during this period, all Liverpool fans believe that he will definitely be able to change the situation on the court.

Especially when Yang Yang stood on the sidelines and was about to replace Riser, all the fans of the court were shouting his name.

"It can be seen that in the minds of Liverpool fans, Yang Yang's position is still very strong. He is still the team's number one star, and everyone still has high expectations for him."

"I believe that at this moment, all the fans who like Yang Yang must be very nervous and uneasy."

"Since late December, after getting World Footballer, Yang Yang has fallen into a goal drought. He has been in a goal drought so far, and he has not scored a goal."

"Of course, even though he has not scored in the past two months, Yang Yang is still the leader of the Premier League scorer list, which shows how outstanding his condition in the first four months is. It also makes us believe that as long as he can recover his form, he will still be the most attacking killer in the Premier League."

"What is more noteworthy is that Arsenal lost points in this round. As long as Liverpool can win Middlesbrough in this game, the Reds will return to the top of the league standings."

...

Yang Yang felt the fans' love and support for him.

While standing on the sidelines waiting to play, he took a deep breath and tried to calm his mood.

He knew that the most important thing for him now was to control his emotions.

After closing his eyes and brewing for a while, he slowly opened his eyes and looked straight at the stadium.

Just then, Lisser had already run down.

After the two shook hands and hugged each other on the sidelines, Liser patted Yang Yang on the back, encouraged him to continue to work hard and sent him to the stadium.

After Yang Yang rushed into the stadium, Liverpool players around him came to brim him and gave him encouragement.

It was said that it was a week off, but in fact Yang Yang was absent.

...

Middlesbrough's head coach is former England central defender, Gareth Southgate.

This former celebrity retired in 2006. After retiring, he immediately replaced McLaren and became the head coach of Middlesbrough, who took over as the head coach of the England national team.

As a very successful professional player, especially once the top professional player in England, Southgate knew very clearly that for superstars of Yang Yang, even when they were in a sluggish state, they were still the most terrifying weapon and could not be slackened at all.

Therefore, after seeing Yang Yang come on the bench, Southgate immediately reminded his right back, right center back, and midfielders to pay close attention to Yang Yang and not give him any chance. As long as he gets the ball, two people must freeze him.

Then, he reminded the team's right back to entangle Yang Yang without leaving any steps.

Although two consecutive instructions were issued, Southgate was still full of worries and he was still very worried.

He knew very well Yang Yang's strength and terribleness.

As a professional player, he is more clear than other head coaches, that is, for superstars of Yang Yang's level, the longer the sluggish state lasts, the more they often mean they are not careless.

Because no one knows when he will recover and when he will recover his state.

Sometimes, it may be a game, but suddenly it feels like it.

Or maybe a mistake from the opponent directly stimulates them.

In short, the longer the sluggish period, the closer they are to the node where the state is to recover, the less careless the opponents are, and they must always be vigilant.

...

It has to be said that Southgate has indeed made all the preparations that a head coach with rich professional experience can do. Even after giving the instructions, he still stood on the sidelines, constantly calling on the players and reminding them.

After Yang Yang came on the court, although he had several running positions, several receiving balls, and one dribbling balls, he failed to make a breakthrough.

It seems that his condition has not recovered.
