Chapter 58 Hesitating Moyes
On the other hand, life is not easy for Manchester United's new manager David Moyes at the moment.
Since the start of this season, Manchester United under his leadership has only achieved five wins, two draws and three losses in the ten rounds of the Premier League, accumulating 8 points, ranking No.[-] in the Premier League.
For Manchester United in the past, this is almost a shameful ranking.
Moreover, his three losses also included a [-]-[-] away loss to rival Liverpool in the third round of the league, and a [-]-[-] away loss to rival Manchester City in the fourth round of the league.
The two direct defeats to rivals created a rift between him and Manchester United fans.
Immediately afterwards, he was killed by West Bromwich Albion in the sixth round, and even once dropped Manchester United's league ranking to No. 12!
For Manchester United this season, the offense has lost the sharpness of the past, and the defense has lost the oppressiveness of the past.Moyes' team has no characteristics in offense and lack of hardness in defense. At one point, Manchester United's offense became a blind crossing gambling style of play.
Due to the declining state of Van Persie and Rooney, Manchester United's offensive scoring efficiency has dropped sharply compared to before.At the beginning of the season, Moyes only brought back one Fellaini in the transfer market, which could not fundamentally solve the problem of weak offense.
The more serious problem is that Moyes' prestige has been questioned with the team's poor performance, especially in the hearts of the big players in the Manchester United team, Moyes has no prestige at all.
This is actually difficult for Moyes. As Ferguson's successor, he will inevitably be compared with his predecessor, but such a comparison is not fair to Moyes at all.
It is now three o'clock in the afternoon on November [-]th, UK local time.Moyes is in his office preparing for tomorrow's match against Arsenal.
In the strong dialogue this season, when Moyes' team faced Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City, the three Premier League powerhouses, they only scored one point against Chelsea.This also makes people question Manchester United's inability to face strong teams this season.
And tomorrow's game is absolutely not allowed to lose.
Due to the decline in running ability of Rooney and Van Persie, Moyes is actually not likely to start the two at the same time, but one of them is the captain of the team, and the other is the biggest contributor to the team's championship last season.Moyes wasn't bold enough to drop any of them.
Fortunately, so far this season, the performance of other powerful teams is not much better than Manchester United. Arsenal, ranked first, has eight points more than Manchester United. Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester City have only two games ahead of Manchester United. within.
Nor is there no room for redemption for Morse.
Just when Moyes was a little hesitant for tomorrow's game, the head coach of the reserve team, Darren Joyce, came to his office.
Joyce came here for Li Qingshan's affairs.Raiola has just formally asked Manchester United to talk about Li Qingshan's arrangements for next season.
Of course, Joyce needs to report this kind of thing to the team's head coach Moyes.
After listening to Joyce's report, Moyes thought for a while and said: "You mean, he scored 28 goals in 31 games in the league, and scored 13 goals in 18 games in the AFC Champions League? The scoring efficiency is indeed worthy of our attention."
"I'm afraid it's not just a matter of concern." Joyce said, spreading his hands, "but a decision must be made, whether to apply for a labor certification for him, continue to rent out, or sell."
If Joyce came to ask this question at the beginning of the season, Moyes would probably choose to sell Li Qingshan decisively.But now, he hesitated a little.
Because Li Qingshan's scoring efficiency is too high, averaging 1.4 scoring efficiency per game, even though it is only in Asia, this efficiency is amazing enough.
And for the current Manchester United, what they lack is a striker who can score goals stably?
Darren Joyce didn't know what Moyes was hesitating about.In his view, since you Moyes arranged a 442 formation on the field and mainly relied on crosses from the side to create opportunities, then there happened to be a high center forward who is very good at headers in the team and he was called back. Try it, you don’t need to spend a transfer fee, you just need to help him apply for a labor certificate, relying on Li Qingshan’s performance on loan, and the fact that he was signed by Ferguson himself, pay attention to convincing the review committee to let him pass the special talent The terms are labor certified.There is nothing to hesitate about things that are beneficial but not costly.
However, Darren Joyce and Moyes have completely different perspectives.
At this time, Moyes was actually thinking about the stability of the locker room.As an experienced head coach, Moyes certainly knows that he lacks prestige in the locker room. With the team's poor record, he is more and more worried that the players will collectively force the top management to ask him to be fired.In this case, what Moyes thinks more is that he wants the team leaders like Van Persie and Rooney to firmly support him.
And if a striker is recalled, it is inevitable that the two will not think too much.And Moyes doesn't think that Li Qingshan's ability can squeeze out Van Persie or Rooney to get a starting position, and after the team lost to West Bromwich Albion, they played well in the last three league games, with two wins and one tie. It's not bad. In Moyes' view, this is the team's gradual stabilization trend. He doesn't want to make any actions that affect the team's recent good trend.
However, the striker combination of Rooney and Van Persie is indeed not efficient this season, and Moyes knows it well.Needless to say, Van Persie's state has suddenly fallen off a cliff this season, and injuries have also begun to appear.Rooney's situation is similar, his running ability and scoring ability are not as good as before.
Moyes is still hesitating and weighing in his heart.For him, he cherishes this opportunity to coach a giant.But the more he tried to do well, the more unsatisfactory he became.Now that the Premier League has only played ten rounds, Moyes's face has lost the spirit of being Ferguson's successor at the beginning of the season.His self-confidence also seems to have been affected, making him more and more hesitant when making decisions.
"Observe for a while first." Moyes hesitated for a long time, but finally still did not make a decision.
Joyce spread his hands and said angrily: "I guess we don't have time here. It is estimated that in two days, some offers from some teams will be on your table. Whether to stay or let him transfer, You need to make a decision as soon as possible."
If it was Ferguson on the opposite side, Joyce would never dare to speak to Moyes in this tone. This also shows from the side that the new head of Manchester United has not gained the unanimous trust of the club staff.
Moyes sat in a chair, staring at Joyce.
Joyce was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Moyes, and his eyes began to wander.The person sitting across from him was his boss after all, and he knew that his tone didn't have much respect for the boss.
"So all offers are rejected. Before his loan period expires, continue to observe." Moyes finally made this decision firmly, and he continued: "I have seen the schedule of the Asian League, and now their season is not yet It’s over, and the club that has won the Asian championship still has to play in the Club World Cup. Before the winter transfer window opens, let’s not talk about Li Qingshan. This is not the focus of our work at this stage.”
When Darren Joyce came out of Moyes' office, he couldn't help but sigh.
He suddenly thought of Pogba. Pogba played very well at Juventus. If Moyes continued with this attitude, maybe Li Qingshan would become Manchester United's second Pogba.
As an old courtier left over from the Ferguson era, Joyce suddenly felt a little disheartened at this moment.
