Chapter 554 Sir Alex Ferguson’s biological son! Asia’s number one brother!

Fletcher's performance at the beginning was not outstanding, especially among young players such as Bardsley and Welbeck, who were British stars. Fletcher's performance could only be regarded as quite satisfactory, with no special highlights.

But Ferguson has always been known for his ruthless vision.

Ferguson boldly promoted Fletcher to the Manchester United first team before he showed any bright spots.

The British stars like Welbeck and Bardsley were exiled to the Sunderland team by Ferguson.

Ferguson didn't even buy Sunderland star Henderson.

Ferguson's preference for Fletcher is very similar to Ferguson's preference for Giggs.

Ferguson intends to make Fletcher into an engine like Ryan Giggs.

Coincidentally, Ferguson's son is also named Darren, and Ferguson called Darren Fletcher "Darren Ferguson" more than once in interviews.

Everyone at Manchester United knows that Fletcher is like Ferguson's biological son.

Unfortunately……

Fletcher is no Giggs.

After being trained by Ferguson with a lot of playing time, Fletcher is naturally very good, but he is still very far away from becoming the next Ryan Giggs.

When Fletcher was first promoted to the Manchester United first team, it was when Beckham was making a transfer move, so Fletcher played as a left midfielder, but Fletcher's performance was simply not good enough to be Manchester United's right midfielder. , especially compared with the former right midfielder Beckham.

Fletcher's experience is not as good as Beckham's, his running is not as good as Beckham's, his defense is not as good as Beckham's, his positioning is not as good as Beckham's, and most importantly, his looks are not as good as Beckham's.

Therefore, when Fletcher first entered the first team of Manchester United, he was called a loser by the fans.

Later, Manchester United switched to the more popular 433 formation, and Fletcher was transformed into a midfielder by Ferguson, and then into a defensive midfielder.

Fletcher, who transformed into a defensive midfielder, finally found the feeling of "F24".

Fletcher has also gradually grown into a sweeping midfielder who focuses on running and intercepting. Fletcher's main task on the field is defense. His body is very strong. At the age of 27, he is 183cm tall and weighs 85kg. He is extremely sexy, extremely physically capable, and has a huge range of motion. Moreover, because he was trained in Giggs' way, he has skills at his feet, has impact, and is fast. He can also insert in the back row and pass the ball together. Not bad, especially on the right, and can often run into the penalty area to participate in the attack.

Although this ability is not outstanding among top stars, it is surprisingly consistent with Ferguson's two-wing playing style. When attacking, Fletcher, the midfielder, can be used as a central midfielder or a temporary attacking midfielder. Coordinate protection and pick up leaks.

In addition, Fletcher can also play as a full-back.

This is simply Ferguson’s favorite!

Therefore, Ferguson particularly favored Fletcher, who was also a Scot, and even often praised Fletcher in the locker room.

You know, Ferguson was nicknamed the Hairdryer. He usually cursed people wildly, but rarely laughed and praised others.

Fletcher was praised by Ferguson as a "universal patch", which means that wherever needed, Fletcher can make up for it - this is definitely the highest praise Ferguson can give to his players.

However, although Ferguson regarded Fletcher as his own son, and although Ferguson gave Fletcher many opportunities to play, in fact, Fletcher was still not Ferguson's main candidate.

Just like Ferguson's positioning, Fletcher is just a "patch". Only in less important games that require rotation, Fletcher can start. Most of the time, Fletcher is used as a universal patch as a substitute.

Just like the positioning of super substitute Solskjaer. Ferguson needs a son like this, a good son who can sacrifice himself for Manchester United to win at any time.

In this FA Cup final, Ferguson sent Fletcher to start. In addition to Ferguson's preference for Fletcher, he also felt that Southampton had no threat. Therefore, Fletcher + 442 double midfielders + both wings. Flying tactics are a good way to deal with them.

Of course, Ferguson definitely did not look down on Southampton.

Ferguson's biggest advantage as a head coach is that he does a lot of intelligence work and analysis before games.

This game is the FA Cup finals, and Southampton, as a English League One team, was able to go all the way to the end. Not only did they win the League One championship, the English Championship, but they also won the League Cup and put Emirates into the finals. Fulton, Sunderland, Tottenham, Chelsea, Liverpool and other strong teams were all defeated. This can no longer be described as luck, this is real strength.

And Ferguson could see at a glance that Southampton's strength lies in the Chinese boy Gu Ran who had been recommended to him.

Therefore, beating Southampton is easy. As long as Gu Ran can be restrained, Southampton will be beaten back to its original shape.

Of course, Ferguson also knows that there is not only one head coach like him in the world who thinks so. Everton head coach Moyes, Sunderland head coach Steven Bruce, Tottenham head coach Redkner Sr. Pu, Chelsea head coach Carlo Ancelotti, and Liverpool head coach Kenny Dalglish all think so.

But these teams that Gu Ran killed were not as good as Manchester United at all.

That is, Manchester United can use both wings to attack with 442. At the same time, they can do without the attacking midfielder and let Fletcher, the defensive midfielder, temporarily play as an attacking midfielder/central midfielder, while letting the other defensive midfielder stare at Gu Gu all the time like a dog-skin plaster. Of course.

This dog-skin plaster is player No. 13, South Korean star Park Ji-sung.

In fact, with Park Ji-sung's ability, it is difficult to be a starter, but Ferguson is like a god in employing people. He never sticks to whether a certain player is qualified or not, but just depends on whether it is suitable.

The biggest characteristic of Park Ji-sung is Park Sam Lung - he can't run to death and has unlimited physical strength, just like having three lungs.

This is naturally a great advantage for guarding Gu Ran, who can't run away.

In addition, Park Ji-sung is also versatile on the court. He can not only play as a central midfielder, but also as a left and right midfielder, as well as an attacking midfielder, a defensive midfielder, and even a full-back.

Park Ji-sung's hard work and seriousness in training is definitely the benchmark among Manchester United players.

Although Park Ji-sung did not score many goals at Manchester United, there is a very famous law "Harry Potter's Law", that is, as long as Park Ji-sung scores goals, Manchester United will win.

But in fact, this law is a bit flattering to one's own face.

After all, you are a player used by Ferguson for rotation. It will be very easy for you to replace you. If you are replaced and you do not need to be marked, you can attack long-range shots at will, which means that Manchester United's own advantages are already obvious. So in this case, when you score a goal, Manchester United will naturally win 100%.

Of course, we have to admit that Park Ji-sung during this period was definitely one of the best in Asia in terms of identity, status, and weekly salary.

In today's game, Ferguson sent Park Ji-sung as the midfielder. The intention was very obvious, that is, he wanted to use Asia's best brother to catch Gu Ran.

Therefore, one of the highlights of this FA Cup is the showdown between two Asian players.

Affected by this attraction, the number of online viewers of Ran Live exceeded 100 million before the game officially started.

All Chinese people are looking forward to Gu Ran's wonderful performance over Fengzi!
