Recently, interim manager Ronnick said that There must be a reason for Manchester United's failure to win the Premier League title in the past 10 years, and Manchester United's legendary scorer Rooney also said that after the 2009 season, Manchester United only slowly declined and did not recover. This is just like TVB's TV series (only talking about the quality of the episodes), from the glorious era of tv dramas such as the legend of the Eagle Hero, the Hero of the Eagle, the Great Era, etc., to the criminal investigation file series, the Heaven and Earth Pride, the No. 1 Imperial Court, the Scarf Tyrant, etc., slowly to the past ten years, almost no hong Kong drama boom has returned to the peak, and occasionally some gods such as the streets of anger, the Apostle Walkers, etc. Are short-lived booms, but not long... Like Manchester United today...
See what the similarities are?
1. Carrying the heavy pressure of a glorious history
TVB has seen many well-known superstars in the past, such as Chow Yun Fat, Leung Chao Wai, Maggie Cheung and Chow Sing Chi, etc. are from art training classes, and the artists after them often compare them, thus generating great pressure and affecting the play, and the influence of the media, exaggerating their words makes many actors who have not yet reached the level more stressful, and as a result, the new stars can not continue after a year or two... Become an unnamed supporting character.
Manchester United won the Champions League twice under Ferguson, won the Treble in 1999, won the Champions League again in the 07/08 season, and made Manchester United one of the most fan teams in the world, and there were also legendary players including Cantona, Beckham, Giggs, C Ronaldo, Rooney, Scholes, Schmeichel and Van der Sar, etc., but the young players or new franchisees also became very stressed due to their glorious history, which seriously affected the performance, and there were also unworthy new stars. Most of the pressure came from the media, fans and players themselves, and eventually lost, such as Adnan Yanuzai, Memphis Depay, Alexis Sanchez and so on.
2. Poor management of management
TVB Shantou culture problem is not a new thing, there have been many cases of contract renewal problems have been hidden, one of the five tigers of the year Andy Lau is one of them, and because it has been dominant, the company's management consciously can not be the same to treat actors, reuse some of the lack of strength of the actors but let some more powerful actors abandon aside, or only continue to use the same batch of actors and other problems to make some aspiring and powerful actors leave.
In the post-Ferguson era, the team became more and more commercialized, with management that did not understand football such as Woodward to deal with the business of football, including player trading, development direction and renewal salary issues, etc., the result of the team is making money year after year, but the team's deep problems continue to deepen, such as buying and selling players is often pushed by other teams to buy players at a high price, sell players at a low price, etc., and when players join with gorgeous momentum such as Lukaku, Pogba, etc., the higher the salary, the higher the problem also affects the player structure. At present, David De Gea, Jaden Sancho and C Ronaldo and other weekly salaries are as high as 300,000 pounds, but the main players such as B fees are only 100,000 pounds, so that some lower-paid main players hope to raise their salaries to the team's maximum salary to align with the club's financial problems, and there are also problems such as reusing the same class of players regardless of performance, and the team's contract renewal problem is also a mess, many of which are also slowly becoming free to run away due to the delay in contract renewal, including Herrera, who has expressed disrespect on the issue of contract renewal.
3. Waste the brilliance planted by the predecessors and ignore the progress of competitors
TVB Hong Kong dramas have a far-reaching influence on the global Chinese, but these are already the past, now the Network and culture are more globalized, American dramas, Japanese dramas, Korean dramas have also provided more choices for Chinese people around the world, and even the quality of our mainland dramas is higher than that of TVB dramas, the most important thing is that the quality of TVB dramas includes script content, episode tension, structure, etc. Are deteriorating, THE END OF BBQ, the so-called big production of tiger tails, the script of imposing love lines, and the illogical layout will only make supporters slowly leave , including the younger generation who do not have the memories of the episodes of that year...
Manchester United is indeed one of the football teams with the most supporters in the world, but most of the loyal fans have followed because they began to watch in the glory days of the previous team, even if the team performed well or badly, they will always accompany and support, because it can be seen that the players have tried their best, but in recent years, Manchester United's performance has not been good, the most important thing is that the performance of the team is far lower than expected, the overall quality is insufficient, the defense mistakes, the midfielder's own passing, the lack of grasp of the front and other issues have not been solved, and the unity or fighting spirit of the players can not be seen. What is the appeal of a team without tactics, without discipline, without fighting, without unity to attract the younger generation of fans? On the other hand, rivals Manchester City and Liverpool have improved their alignment problems, found the right people to solve the team problems, and improved their playing style day by day...
4. The period of revival is not lasting, and there is no understanding of the transformation of the world
After the peak of the Hong Kong drama boom in the 1990s, TVB did not retain talents, nor did it maintain the quality of the series, did not understand the market's preferences, and as a result, although there were occasional masterpieces, it could not be sustained, or it still used the old set of successes to be used indefinitely, such as the first set of good reputation followed by the sequel, the third part caused the quality to decline, and from time to time thought that the popular actors of the year could be improved, but the market in the entertainment industry needed freshness and vitality.
Manchester United in the post-Ferguson era constantly change managers and players, there is no clear direction of development, did not give the then manager the needs of the players, the most important thing is not to align the team problem, on the contrary, in the past few years to invite a famous coach or an aging veteran can change the team, even if Van Gaal brought the FA Cup champions, Mourinho and Ibrahimovic came to bring the Europa League to the team, but the development direction that the team can maintain is not lasting, the symptoms cannot be cured, and the problems become uncontrollable... Even if Cavani joined last season and the legendary Ronaldo returned this season, it will not solve the root problem...
Have to admit, Manchester United is towards the level of TVB Hong Kong drama decline, to change, you need to find the right direction, align the problem to solve, Manchester United to find Lonnick to make a major reform, whether it can be successful, only wait for time to explain...
