Football giants

Chapter 211 Was Exploded

"For this final, I can only say that we didn't lose to Southampton, it was Atkinson who beat us!"

"We were fully prepared at half-time to turn things around at the end and score goals or even complete an epic comeback."

"But Atkinson's red card made everything we did go for nothing!"

"I have to congratulate Southampton because the final will not be repeated."

"But what I want to say is, is such a champion convincing?"

……

In the sports director's office of the BBC TV headquarters, Roger Moses, who had just returned from the Southampton celebration banquet at No. [-] Wangjiang Pavilion, was smiling and watching Ferguson's indignant interview after the final.

Sitting in front of him was Barbara Slater, director of programming for the sports department.

In the past year, the greatest contribution the two have made to BBC TV is to make the ratings of the ace program's daily match rejuvenate and usher in the attention of fans again.

And the very important element is the beautiful guest, Charlene Lahiri.

"Ferguson is now a dead duck!" Roger Moses laughed and turned off the video on the computer.

The footage, which is only available to BBC insiders, will appear in tonight's Match of the Day and tomorrow's news.

Barbara Slater is also in a good mood, "He should be thinking about the Champions League final soon."

Manchester United also reached the Champions League final against Barcelona.

But now, before the war, he actually capsized in the gutter in front of Southampton, who was two lengths shorter than him. The blow to Manchester United's morale can be imagined, so Ferguson can only choose to be stubborn.

"The Champions League final against Barcelona, ​​I'm not optimistic about Manchester United!"

Barbara Slater laughed too.

The grievances between the BBC and Manchester United have a long history, and the two sides are incompatible, but the relationship between the BBC and Southampton is good.

Southampton killed Manchester United, and the BBC followed suit.

"Did Charlene attend the saint's celebration banquet?" Barbara Slater asked with concern.

Roger Moses shook his head, "No, but I heard from Yang Huan that she's fine."

Barbara Slater was also relieved.

Charlene Lahiri was an important highlight of the daily competition. She didn't appear in the previous episode, but the ratings went up and down.

She can't attend this episode, but the focus of the show is the FA Cup final, and the ratings should be good.

"Then this issue..." Barbara Slater looked at the director.

Roger Moses immediately burst out laughing, "Does it need to be said?"

Before Barbara Slater could react, he was too excited to sit still and stood up directly.

"Ferguson is in a bad mood now, but I don't mind his mood getting worse, so, in a word, ****!"

"The whole world is turned upside down. After watching Ferguson, I dare not be so arrogant!"

Barbara Slater laughed when she saw the director swear.

It can be seen that the director is going to vent a lot this time.

It is no wonder that the BBC has always been at a disadvantage in the contest between the BBC and Ferguson.

After all, Ferguson's status in British football is there.

But this time, it can make Ferguson feel disgusted and furious, and the BBC doesn't mind doing it.

Besides, there are many fans in the world who don't like Ferguson.

"You tell Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer to beat Southampton to death and Manchester United to death!"

After speaking, Roger Moses himself couldn't help laughing.

I don't know if Ferguson has watched the daily game, if so, this issue must make him vomit blood!

"I understand, let's do it immediately!" Barbara Slater also stood up.

…………

…………

Following the director's order, the daily competition program team immediately made a tailor-made plan.

In the program, Alan Shearer changed his past style, and his words became very sharp.

As a player who came out of Southampton's youth academy, Alan Shearer refuted Ferguson's various excuses very seriously.

"Sir Ferguson's remarks are untenable. Judging from the data, Southampton does have an advantage."

"The famous referee Howard Webb we specially invited just now also said that there is no doubt about Atkinson's penalty, and Nani's move is undisputedly a red card!"

"Even if this red card is put aside, Manchester United looked very embarrassed compared with Southampton throughout the game, especially in the second half. Before the red card, the score was [-] to [-]. Southampton has completed the reversal."

"So, I'm wondering, where does Sir Alex Ferguson get the confidence that his team will be able to reverse at the last moment?"

At this time, Gary Lineker also took a further blow.

"Sorry, Alan, I don't agree with your point of view. I think everything was directed by Sir Alex Ferguson."

"Oh?" Alan Shearer looked surprised.

"It's very simple. In order to show Manchester United's tyrannical strength and ability to dominate the game, Sir Alex Ferguson deliberately arranged this scene during the halftime break."

"How?" Alan Shearer asked again.

"It's very simple. If you continue to go one-to-nil, the game will be too flat and there will be no drama. Manchester United won't be enough to win."

Alan Shearer nodded, "And then?"

"Then? Then Sir Alex Ferguson felt that he wanted some excitement and a roller-coaster turn, so he arranged it during the half-time break. He conceded two goals at the beginning of the second half, giving Southampton the lead and giving the Saints hope."

"At this time, all the fans felt that Manchester United was going to end, but at the end of the game, at the critical moment, the great Sir Alex Ferguson put on a gray cloak, a blue pointed hat, and a magical wand in his hand, leading Manchester United to reverse the situation."

Everyone in the entire program group burst into laughter.

"Hey, do you think he's Gandalf?"

"At least he thinks he is!"

"So, Atkinson really ruined Sir Alex Ferguson's good show!"

"So, we're going to attack him!"

…………

…………

The cynicism of Ferguson on BBC TV's ace program Daily Match started the media's coverage of the FA Cup final.

Regarding the series of excuses Ferguson found in the post-match interview, except for the unswerving Manchester United supporters, the others all scoffed, thinking that this was completely untenable.

Even many media have used various data to slap Ferguson in the face.

It is believed that one of the important reasons why Manchester United lost power is the fall of the midfielder.

And this problem has existed for a long time, but Ferguson has not found a way to solve it.

The outside world also began to bad-mouth Manchester United, thinking that with such a lineup that can't even win the third-tier league team, if you want to go against Barcelona, ​​the strongest in Europe, it's like lighting a lamp in the toilet, courting death!

When newspapers such as the Guardian, The Times, The Sun, and the Daily Mail began to add insult to injury to Manchester United for losing the FA Cup, the media in Spain were not idle either.

Who makes Manchester United Barcelona's opponent in the Champions League final?

Seeing that Manchester United is unlucky, adding further insult to Manchester United is to help Barcelona increase their chances of winning the championship.

As for the media in Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, France and other countries, they have increased their attention and hype on this matter with the mentality of onlookers who watch the excitement and are not afraid of big things.

In just one night, the whole of Europe, and even the world, knew that Manchester United had lost the FA Cup final to a team in England's third tier.

And this legendary team is called Southampton!
The news traveled half a circle around the earth and reached China.

Countless young people wake up in the morning, either reading newspapers on newsstands, or sitting in front of the company's computer, or in the news APP of their mobile phones, or from WeChat Moments...

They all noticed the message.

A team from the third tier league actually overthrew the mighty Manchester United?

It’s incredible!
It's simply unbelievable!
It's totally unscientific!

Especially the owner of this team is Chinese!
It's unbelievable.

Now that Chinese football is in such a slump, a Chinese fan went to Europe to buy a third-tier league team, but beat the giants Manchester United in the FA Cup final?

This is just like the football version of the drama of the ** silk counterattack!

This is definitely a plot that only appears in those YY urban novels on the Genesis Chinese website. How did it come to reality?

Countless fans, even non-fans, rushed to Du Niang one after another, and started to take a look to see what this team is really about.

I didn't know the result, and I was shocked for a while.

Southampton reached the final, stepping on the corpses of Arsenal and Chelsea!

What the hell!

This is not just a counterattack by **!
This is simply a slap in the face, a slap in the face of that group of wealthy teams!

Too inspirational, too passionate, is there anything?
In less than a few hours, the two keywords Southampton and Saints jumped to the top of Du Niang's search list.

…………

Sheng Wumao, a small white-collar worker in the capital, 27 years old, naked, single.

After watching the FA Cup final yesterday, he fell asleep and died.

When I woke up, I hurriedly brushed my teeth and washed my face, copied my things, ran out of the basement to rent a room, and rushed to the subway station.

After running halfway, I passed a newsstand outside the subway station, threw a one-dollar coin, and took the top newspaper.

There are too many people who get up early like him, and there is already a long queue in the subway station.

Countless early risers were either gnawing their breakfast desperately, or taking the opportunity to read the newspaper, and some were talking loudly on the phone.

St. Wumao was used to this scene.

Every time a familiar ringtone rang, countless people took out their mobile phones, fearing that it was their own call.

Every time I see such a scene, Sheng Wumao finds it funny.

Look at your virtue, vulgar!
But this time, everyone around put down their mobile phones, but the ringtone was still ringing.

Oh shit, it's mine!

Sheng Wumao hurriedly took out the apple that he almost sold his kidney to buy from his trouser pocket, swiped smartly, and began to answer.

This action immediately aroused contempt from the surrounding crowd.

"Wu Mao, hurry up, our post bar has been blown up!"

It was almost hoarse shouting on the phone, it came from a fan friend he met on the Internet, hero OOXX.

"Been exploded?" Sheng Wumao felt amused, "How is this possible? Who would explode our post so boringly?"

They are the owners of the Southampton post bar.

To say that the Southampton team has been quite popular recently, especially after the introduction of Ibrahimovic, Neymar and other fans, plus the fact that the owner is Chinese, it is very popular in the domestic fan circle.

Currently there are nine bars with more than 1 members.

But in the vast post bar world, these 1 people are like a grain of sand in the ocean.

Who would be so bored to blow up such a small post?

Besides, the members of Southampton's post bar don't cause trouble. Could it be that innocent people were affected by the disaster?

"Oh, no, it's not that someone got blown up, it's that there are too many members flooding in all of a sudden, and the posts are so dizzying that the whole post bar is messed up!"

"What?" Sheng Wumao was a little dumbfounded.

His loss of voice immediately drew glaring looks from a group of people around him.

A little bit of quality!

In a large crowd, talk on the phone in a low voice, is it great to hold a kidney machine?

St. Wumao immediately raised his hand to apologize.

Public anger is hard to make!

"real!"

"how many?"

"I checked just now, and it's already over [-]." The hero OOXX on the phone said.

"Oh, no, it's over 15 now!"

"My God, in less than half an hour, there is another [-] more, what should I do?"

He looked completely bewildered.

Sheng Wumao was also dumbfounded.

He doesn't know what to do!
　In view of someone saying that a man can't say no, Lao Chen decided that he would rather die than submit, and tomorrow he will fight and explode!
　　Thanks to [I'm not called a beast] and [Dow Eyebrow] two book friends for their monthly tickets!
