Even though it is rare to win, you still have to earn money

"Red Devils" Manchester United is worthy of being the king of traffic. There are countless fans cheering when they win, and there are countless fans complaining when they lose. Manchester United only won one of their first wins in the new season, but they are in good shape on the road to traffic. However, the days of "black and red" are destined not to last long. If a powerful team does not have decent results for a long time, relying solely on poor coaches and disobedient players to gain traffic will undoubtedly ruin their future.

Reporter Yin Chengjun reported that the end of the Tenghager era has been one of the best since the founding of the Premier League. They have created a brand new "dynasty" under the leadership of head coach Ferguson, won countless honors, and established the team's position in the hearts of fans. Countless fans around the world cheered and cheered for them, and the name of the "Red Devils" resounded all over the world.

However, the romantic is always blown away by the rain and wind, and Ferguson also has aging one day. When he is no longer the head coach of Manchester United, the team has also reached a bottleneck period, which is especially the decline in the Tenhager era.

Manchester United welcomes Tenghager in 2022. The reason why this coach is still mentioned by Manchester United fans is his disastrous signings and irresistible defeat, so that there is a joke popular in the Premier League: In order to allow Ten Hager to continue to harm Manchester United, the remaining 17 Premier League teams will let Manchester United win one or two games from time to time, under the name of "raising Teng".

In October last year, the unbearable Manchester United executive finally fired Tenghager. The coach spent 650 million euros in two and a half years to fall apart and gradually leave.

Anthony and Hoylen transferred to Real Betis and Naples. Onana was loaned to Trabzon Sports. None of the remaining "Teng's army" has been reused in the new season and has become a bench player that is difficult to even be a substitute. Tenghager's "traffic dynasty" has ended here.

Tenghager is gone, and the new coach Amorin is here, but Manchester United's performance has not improved at all. Amorin went to the black in October last year, Amorin rushed from Portugal to Old Trafford to put out the fire, and he came with an aura of incomparable glory. Previously, this coach achieved excellent results in the Portuguese Super League and had a wonderful scene in the Champions League. At that time, all Manchester United fans placed their hopes on him, and Manchester United's rise seemed to be just around the corner.

However, Amorin gives everyone the feeling that there is a loud thunder and a small raindrop. In the early days of coaching, he swore that he would dig up many players, including Zhekelais, for Manchester United, but none of them were achieved during the winter transfer period. Manchester United still used Tenhager's old foundation to finish last season, and the results were the worst since the founding of the Premier League.

Over the past summer, Amorin has been busy building a new lineup. He sent away the old players of Tenghager and welcomed his favorite new players. Manchester United spent nearly 300 million euros for this, including introducing Seshko, Cunya, Mbeumo, Leon and Ramons, and cleaning up Rashford, Garnacho, Anthony, Hoylen and Onana, either sold or rented.

However, this brand new team has started the new season for nearly a month, with only one victory, and even being eliminated by a British League Two team in the FA Cup, which is surprising.

Many fans attribute Manchester United's loss to Amorin's stubbornness. This coach has achieved great success in the Portuguese Super League with a three-center-back system, so he wants to copy his football philosophy to the "Red Devils". However, Manchester United has played four defenders since the Ferguson era. Amorin suddenly changed his tactics, and many players are not used to it.

English football has always regarded the four-back system as the standard. Few teams play as the third central defender. The only team who won the Premier League championship with the three central defender system is Chelsea led by Italian coach Conte. But Amorin just wants to go all the way. Even though he has only scored 31 points in the Premier League in the past year, almost everyone thinks that his tactical system is inappropriate, and he must stick to his own philosophy.

Because of this, many players in Manchester United have lost confidence in Amorin, including his fellow midfielder B Fei, who had worked with Portugal Sports before. B Fei retreated in Amorin's 3421 system and became one of the two midfielders. The current excessive defensive pressure makes it difficult for him to adapt.

Don't take embarrassment as a habit

From the attitude of the players, we can see that Amorin needs to make some changes to the team. However, after Manchester United lost to Manchester City 0:3, he still expressed his intentions.

Perseverance is valuable, but sticking to the rules and not thinking about change is another matter. Manchester United legend Galley Neville said after the derby: "Sometimes I feel angry and frustrated when I see Manchester United lose such a game, but this time I don't feel anything, which is even worse."

Amorin's passion has gradually been exhausted. In the past, he was full of energy when commanding on the sidelines, but after entering this season, when Manchester United frequently suffered losses, he was more curled up in the coach's seat and remained indifferent. In the penalty shootout between the FA Cup and Greensby, Amorin didn't even have the courage to watch it and let the players play it themselves. Such a move is rare for a coach.

When embarrassment becomes a habit, the team gradually loses self-esteem and enterprising, which is the most terrifying thing. Manchester United seems to be getting closer and closer to this abyss. Now everyone throws the blame to Amorin and asks him to take it, but are the players not responsible at all? Is the third central defender a world problem? An excellent defender can work hard to adapt to different styles of play, but at present, Manchester United players only want to blame the coach and have hardly found the reasons from themselves.

Lost in the east corner, and gained in the sun, but when Manchester United lost consecutive games and retreated step by step, Manchester United's financial situation ushered in a rare good time in recent years. According to statistics, Manchester United's operating income last season was 666.5 million pounds, a record high, only slightly lower than the city's brother Manchester City in the most luxurious era.

Manchester United's revenue is divided into three major sectors, namely commercial sponsorship, game day revenue and broadcast dividends. As Manchester United missed the Champions League, its revenue in broadcast dividends dropped sharply, but it could not stop the game day revenue hit a team's history high of £160.3 million. The price of tickets and membership fees increased. Manchester United's "traffic" is really a myth. With the continuous decline in performance, it still could not stop the fans' enthusiasm for going to Old Trafford to watch the game. On average, Manchester United's home ticket revenue reached £5.3 million last season, and this income alone was enough to support a small team.

In terms of commercial sponsorship, Manchester United's reputation is still very loud. Sponsors have not decreased because they are "often defeated generals", and have even increased by 10% compared with the previous season. In addition, Manchester United's souvenirs, players and authorized extended products benefited from the rapid development of e-commerce, and revenue increased by 15.8% to 144.9 million pounds.

Although Manchester United executives spend money on buying players, they are very careful in their operations and do not spend a penny indiscriminately. Since Ratcliff bought Manchester United's property rights, he has been committed to saving expenses and streamlining labor costs. Although he paid more than £10 million in liquidated damages for firing Ten Hager and his team, the club saved money in other aspects.

As a business, Manchester United club is undoubtedly successful, but as a team, they failed. Even if the club continues to increase revenue and reduce expenditure and continue to make profits, if the results cannot be improved, all this will be difficult to maintain for a long time.

Next, Manchester United will usher in a big test again. On September 21, they will play against Chelsea, whose form has recovered. The "red and blue battle" has been ace events in the Premier League for a long time, but this time it seems that it is not worth mentioning because of Manchester United's fall. Can Amorin save some face in this traditional strong dialogue? Is Chelsea Amorin's "life-saving straw" or "life-attracting poison"? It will be announced in a few days.
