Chapter 1019 - 0334 The Eternal Injustice of Moyes (Please Subscribe)_2
Lord Mo wasn’t particularly loyal to Sir Ferguson either.
But during the crucial period of the championship battle between Manchester United and Chelsea, this fellow, who received quite a bit of care from Ferguson, was sure to have the team go all out.
No one can say anything about giving it their all during a match.
In this match, Chelsea narrowly defeated West Ham thanks to a free kick by Huang Kaiwen.
After the game, many media outlets shared their opinions.
"The Times": "Chelsea is even more reliant on Kevin than Mourinho imagines, especially with multiple players injured during their four-front battle. Kevin’s presence on the pitch is crucial. When Chelsea couldn’t defeat their opponents, Boas only needed to let Kevin play for a minute to solve the battle. No wonder Zola said that Chelsea’s victory was still Kevin’s. West Ham actually performed well, but unfortunately, Chelsea had Kevin."
"Daily Mirror": "Chelsea needs to make moves during the winter break if they want to achieve something. It’s said they already have their sights set on Arsenal’s Bendtner."
"Manchester Evening News": "Ferguson says Chelsea has reached their limit. They’re stretching too thin, and if they want to win the championship at the end of the season, they’ll have to make some trade-offs. With injuries everywhere, they can’t win so many championships."
Undoubtedly, this was Sir Ferguson’s psychological tactic.
The most classic instance was 13 years ago when Newcastle led by 12 points during the winter break.
Kevin Keegan was defeated by Ferguson’s psychological tactics. Although Keegan didn’t admit to being influenced by Ferguson, his hysterical state clearly affected Newcastle players’ mentality.
In the end, Manchester United turned the tables and won the championship over Newcastle.
