As the Norwegians like to eat sardines, fishermen have tried to get the sardines to the fishing port alive, but during the transport, they still suffocated and caused a large number of sardines to die. However, there was a fishing boat that always brought the sardines back to the fishing port alive, and it wasn't until the captain died that the mystery was solved. It turned out that the captain deliberately put a few catfish that specialized in sardines in the sardine trough and let them swim around, and the sardines were very nervous, rushing left and right, accelerating the swim, thereby prolonging their survival time.
This is where the so-called "catfish effect" comes from.
Now that United have invited Ronnick with the intention of activating the whole team and even the entire club to save the season, will the German, nicknamed "Professor", be the "catfish"?
From the team's point of view, the first to bear the brunt of it is the "dying fish" in the back line? For example, Luke Shaw, who was exposed to be on the "blacklist" of professors a year ago, was questioned whether he had the ability to play the main role in Manchester United, not to mention The likes of Maguire and Wan Bissaka, who have made frequent mistakes this season, which is simply too numerous to read. But with so many "dying fish" in the backline, will it give Ronnick a headache? Is it just a coincidence?
Thinking of the coach after class, the big names of Manchester United are full of regret, and they have sent good words, so that the boss is indeed a good person, he can make the big names play comfortably, 90 minutes down maybe even sweat not much, but the result? Dead fish or dead fish, even live fish are about to become dead fish.
Now here comes a "catfish". High-level pressing, three lines to maintain a close distance, and actively interspersed running to lead a rapid offensive and defensive conversion, such a system if it is introduced into Manchester United unchanged, will it be a strong medicine? Which "Dying Fish" will be activated? And which ones will die completely? Is it more activated, or is it more dead altogether?
The key also depends on the "survival desire" of the fish, some "dying fish" want to change their lives against the sky, but there will be a few who are still lifeless, just want to lie flat, anyway, they can't die, at most it is not to change a fish pond. I just don't know such a group of expensive fish, in case a few more die, will the owner of the fish not be able to stand it? In case the fish explode the nest, mutiny and rebellion, and cause the battle record to deteriorate further, the master will not ponder, or don't toss, hurry up and catch the "catfish".
In fact, in addition to the team, will the management structure of the entire Manchester United club also be affected by this "catfish"?
It is said that Lonnick was recruited by Manchester United's football director Mottav and technical director Fletcher, both of whom just took office in March this year.
None of United's four managers since Ferguson have been appointed by the director of football. It's intriguing to know that in some European clubs, the director of football (or sports director) is not only responsible for selecting players, transferring and training, but also the selection of the head coach is also the responsibility of the director. So in the next half a season, if Lonnick does a good job and lets the team stop falling and recover, then these two can prove to the boss at the higher level: You see, you have to let professional people do professional things, so well, I have to have more decision-making power and more right to speak. However, there are pros and cons, it is said that after the interim manager of Lonnick's half season, he wants to become a consultant of the club, the problem is that the consultant consultant can not just ignore the question, in the end, the other consultant has become the protagonist, the director has become a decoration, that is not equivalent to digging a pit for himself, and then burying himself?
Then there is the fact that once Lonnick succeeds in fighting the fire, will it further damage the reputation of the Glazer family, who are the backstage owners of the club. It is said that Manchester United has no crown for 8 years, but it does not prevent the club from playing the "gold sucking" law at the commercial level, and every year it must be said that it wins the championship, in fact, winning the championship is only "painting cake", "painting cake" is only to "absorb gold". How many of United's big moves in transfers in recent years can be purely from a competitive perspective? Including the return of Ronaldo this season. So to the present, in the Premier League final four, only Manchester United has been without a crown in recent years, not to mention, the ranking of the Premier League final four this season and the participation in the Champions League next season are already in jeopardy.
Therefore, the introduction of Ronnick's "catfish" will also stimulate the desire to survive in manchester United management and even the backstage boss, and then stage a palace fight drama for power and profit? It can only be said that anything is possible.
