Breaking news: Guardiola slams Manchester United as thieves!

Ferguson curled his lips, and the Sun would come up with such a gimmicky headline.

"According to people familiar with the matter who asked not to be named, there has been strong outrage at Bayern Munich over Robert Lewandowski's removal from Manchester United."

"Bayern Munich head coach Mr. Josep Guardiola is particularly angry. He has been pushing for Lewandowski to move to Bayern Munich, and Lewandowski is also looking forward to a move to Bayern Munich. It is said that, The two parties have a close relationship and are almost close to signing a new contract. However, Manchester United suddenly took action and snatched Lewandowski from Bayern. This was regarded as stealing by the German super giants. , is a very impolite and provocative behavior."

Ferguson sneered, what an insider who didn’t want to be named!

This is almost the most commonly used source of information for many media. Who knows where you got this information? If you made it up yourself, no one would know.

Bayern Munich is a top club and will not be so stingy... Besides, Lewandowski did not sign a contract with you. The player himself prefers joining Manchester United. Do you blame me?

………………

Ferguson ignored it, but the incident reported by "The Sun" became more and more hyped.

At the pre-match press conference for the third round of the FA Cup between Manchester United and Swansea, the focus of reporters' questions was not on the upcoming FA Cup match, but on Lewandowski's performance. On transfer.

"Mr. Ferguson, what do you think about Guardiola's criticism of Manchester United as thieves?"

Ferguson said with a serious expression: "This is purely hype and rumors by some unscrupulous media. Manchester United reached a consensus with Lewandowski on his joining through normal channels. This is a perfectly normal signing. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.”

The reporter asked: "But, "The Sun" has accurate information..."

"What you call accurate information are insiders who don't want to be named?" Ferguson asked, "some insiders who don't want to be named revealed that the information you got is a rumor. What do you think about this?"

The reporter looked at Ferguson: What do I think? I...MMP!

Ferguson sneered in his heart. He knew what the media expected. They were eager for him to go on the court and have a war of words with Bayern. He would not be fooled. Unless you have proof that Guardiola said that, Ferguson will ignore it.

He is not Mourinho, who is blaming the sky and the earth, and is not that bellicose. Ferguson would not do anything to offend a top wealthy club for no reason.

We have no grudges with Bayern. It would be great to be in harmony.

His identity is the head coach of Manchester United, so he must pay more attention to his words and not to attract evil to the club. This is the experience gained by Ferguson from many years of playing in British football, and it is also the most important reason why Manchester United has friends all over the world.

Of course, when interests are really involved, Ferguson is not afraid of offending people.

………………

However, reporters who fear that the world will not be in chaos will not be willing to let this topic end here.

The Guardian reporter suddenly said: “The news we just received,

Bayern Munich Club Chairman Uli Hoeness said that his biggest regret is that Manchester United did not meet Bayern in the Champions League knockout round, otherwise Bayern would use practical actions to tell Lewandowski that his choice was wrong. "

"Did he really say that?" Ferguson asked with a frown.

He really didn't want to get involved in this matter, but he didn't expect that the big-mouthed chairman of Bayern Munich would be involved.

"Of course, do you want me to show you the latest news?" the reporter said happily.

Other reporters were also excited and looked at Ferguson expectantly, wanting to hear how he would respond.

Ferguson pondered for a moment and said word by word: "I cannot agree with what Mr. Hoeness said. Lewandowski certainly has his reasons for choosing Manchester United, and there is no such thing as regret."

Ferguson said, paused, and realized that what he said might lead public opinion to Lewandowski, which was inappropriate, so he changed the subject and said: "Of course, since Mr. Hoeness is so looking forward to it, When he meets us, he can look forward to the quarter-finals, semi-finals, or even the final. If Bayern can keep going, I believe we will eventually meet in the Champions League."

"You mean, Lewandowski helped Manchester United reach the Champions League final, which proves that his choice was correct?" a reporter immediately asked.

When did I mean this?

Ferguson has been fighting with media reporters for a long time. He knows that what these unscrupulous media people are best at is taking quotes out of context, so he said with a bad expression: "Don't misunderstand me. Robert chose Manchester United because it was more about competition. From a professional perspective, playing in the Premier League will be more conducive to his growth."

"Furthermore, you must understand that Robert will play for Dortmund until the end of this season, so until the end of this season, he will be a Dortmund player and will not play for Manchester United!"

Reporters understood that Ferguson would try his best to protect Lewandowski and prevent the flames of war from igniting Lewandowski.

But what they are best at is messing around. Someone immediately said: "You mean, Manchester United will definitely be able to reach the Champions League final?"

"If you insist on understanding it this way, I can't help it." Ferguson said angrily.

Then, the old man ignored these reporters and left. Regardless of the fact that the FA Cup pre-match press conference did not mention the FA Cup match at all.

The reporters did not stop him. Although they were slightly disappointed that Lewandowski was not introduced into the flames of war, the basic purpose was achieved.

………………

In the third round of the 2013-2014 FA Cup, Manchester United played against Swansea at home soon.

Since they will face each other in the league on Saturday, this is also the first collision between the two teams in six days.

Previously, Manchester United had 5 wins and 2 draws in the past 7 meetings between the two sides and remained unbeaten. Among them, Swansea played 10 away games at the Dream Theater with 2 draws and 8 losses without a win. However, this time the two teams met in the FA Cup. First battle.

The performance of the two sides has been in stark contrast recently. Manchester United remains undefeated on all fronts, especially since being tied with Tottenham in the away game on December 1 last year. Manchester United has won 11 consecutive games in all competitions and is in good shape.

Swansea's recent state has been very sluggish. After losing to Manchester City in the last round of the Premier League, their winless streak in all competitions has reached 7 games. In the last 10 games, they have only won 1 game but lost 6 games. In the last 10 away games, Swansea has only won 1 and lost 6 games.

In this game, Ashley Young suffered a shoulder injury and was exempted from the game along with Robin van Persie and Rooney. Bell got a chance to rotate, but he was still selected for the squad and was temporarily on standby on the bench.

For Manchester United, the starting lineup is goalkeeper Lindegaard, the four backs are a combination of Smalling, Evans, Ferdinand and Valencia, the three midfielders are partnered by Kanter, Cleverley and Pogba, and the three forwards The group is Welbeck, Hernandez and Januzaj.

For Swansea, Pablo Hernandez suffered a hamstring injury and had to be on the injured list with Michu, Worm and Dyer. Britton recovered and continued to start.

………………

Before the game, players from both sides and the audience applauded the recently deceased Portuguese legend Eusebio.

After the game started, Manchester United took the lead.

In the 5th minute, Routledge made a low-level error in returning the ball from the frontcourt. Hernandez got the ball into the penalty area and then his shot was blocked by Tiendali who made timely replacement.

In the 11th minute, Welbeck and Pogba cooperated and then hit the ball. Hernandez's shot missed the target and failed to pose a threat.

Manchester United, which missed two good opportunities in a row, immediately suffered a blow. In the 12th minute, Pozuelo received a pass from Boni in the center circle and knocked the ball directly behind the Manchester United defense. Routledge quickly intervened. When Smalling was unable to catch up, Lindegaard struck again halfway. Routledge, who will celebrate his 29th birthday on Tuesday, calmly scored with his right foot from the edge of the penalty area.

Swansea scored with their first shot, but Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson did not panic.

Sir Alex Ferguson's calmness was emboldened, because after only four minutes, Manchester United scored to equalize the score.

In the 16th minute, Valencia passed the ball to the goal from the left. Hernandez stepped forward in time and shot into the lower left corner of the goal with his left foot 5 meters away from the goal to equalize the score and score his fifth goal of the season.

………………

The game immediately fell into a stalemate. Although both sides created many shooting opportunities, either the pass was not in place and failed to form a shot, or the forward wasted the opportunity.

Until the 70th minute of the game, the score was still 1:1.

Playing at home, Ferguson naturally does not want to end the game with such a score, which means that Manchester United will have to play a make-up match with Swansea away from home. For Manchester United, which has an already too intensive schedule, it is simply adding insult to injury.

The result that Ferguson can accept is to win the opponent at home. Even if you lose the game, it's still more cost-effective than going to Wales for a rematch.

Therefore, when the game reached the 72nd minute, Ferguson made personnel adjustments, and Bell replaced Januzaj, who had almost no good performance in the game.

But shortly after Bell came on, Manchester United suffered another injury. Ferdinand came off due to injury, and Ferguson sent Van Dijk on as a substitute.

In the 80th minute, Manchester United equalized the score, and it was Bell who scored. He used his breakthrough in the frontcourt to tear apart Swansea's defense, broke into the small penalty area, and triggered a killer shot.

Swansea almost equalized the score again in the 90th minute. Routledge made a pass. Bony jumped up from the edge of the penalty area and prepared to header, but he failed to take advantage of the competition with Van Dijk and shot. Off goal.

In the end, Manchester United reversed their opponent 2:1 at home and advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup.
