Chapter 192 Keegan's Character Design Collapsed

According to the schedule, Newcastle will play first in the 37th round of the Premier League. Their opponent is Leeds United, who almost tore a piece of flesh from Manchester United's ass in the last round.

After being stimulated by Ferguson, the Leeds United players did not kill Manchester United and cheap Newcastle as they claimed before the game against Manchester United.

On the contrary, the Leeds United players played Newcastle as Manchester United in this game, and did not give their opponents a minute to breathe in the whole game.

Although Newcastle finally won by 1 goal, Keegan was obviously very emotional.

At the press conference, the reporters noticed that Keegan was a little abnormal today. He was trying to fake a smile, but he couldn't fool these media people who had been in the media for many years.

Keegan clenched his hands into fists as he entered the press conference, lowered his head slightly, and then looked up with a fake smile on his face.

The media people at the press conference interviewed hundreds of people who had the worst experience in English football, and it was obvious at a glance that he had emotional problems.

Furthermore, it sounds unscientific for a player who is known for his violent temper to become a head coach and suddenly become a refined person.

Could it be that when he was a player, his temper followed his father's, and after retiring, his mother's genes began to manifest?
Total nonsense!
The only reason is that this guy is already on top, and he is still holding on, trying not to let himself have a seizure.

Seeing Keegan's reaction, several familiar reporters glanced at each other and reached a tacit understanding in an instant.

"Mr. Kevin, Newcastle played very hard in this game, but they still won. Facts have proved that even if all the teams go all out against Newcastle, we can still get the results we want. Do you agree with me?"

Keegan didn't expect that this reporter would be so caring and think about the problem from his standpoint. Could he be a Magpie fan?
He smiled from the bottom of his heart, put his arms behind his head, and leaned back on the chair: "The reality speaks for itself. Today's opponent played tough and the game was very difficult, but we still won."

After finishing speaking, he also added a sentence: "What Manchester United can do, we can do too."

A few reporters present showed sly smiles. A month ago, this buddy was still pretending to be the one who would kill the other, but when he was about to lose the championship, he immediately changed his tone.

Immediately, some reporters began to expose his scars: "I remember in February, you said in the press conference after the game that Newcastle would definitely win the league championship, but now you have changed your words.

The head coach of Manchester United, Mr. Alex, has always believed that there is still hope for Manchester United. As a result, his team overtook your team. Do you think the performance of the two teams has something to do with your behavior? "

Hearing the reporter's question, Keegan's face visibly collapsed: "I didn't understand what you meant, I think league results are a reflection of a club's comprehensive ability.

He is him, I am me, everyone has their own way of life, what he said has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with Newcastle's league results. "

Keegan was obviously not mentally prepared. The first reporter's question made him relax his vigilance, but the second reporter's provocative questioning method made him very uncomfortable, and his mood became gloomy again.

Between loosening and tightening, he was obviously a little annoyed, and his emotional management was greatly affected.

Another reporter picked up the conversation: "Mr. Kevin, then you think Newcastle still has hope of winning the championship, don't you?"

Keegan looked at the camera in the news hall and replied blankly: "Yes! Anything is possible."

Hearing Keegan's answer, the reporter did not intend to end: "Mr. Kevin, I think you may have misunderstood the word hope, let me analyze the current situation for you.

Your team is 1 point behind Manchester United with an extra game. If Manchester United win this round, they will win the championship one round earlier. Even if they lose to Nottingham Forest, they can still win the championship as long as they beat Middlesbrough in the last round.

Even if Manchester United tie two games in a row, the two teams still have to play a play-off to compete for the championship. Newcastle lost both games against Manchester United this season.

Do you still think that Newcastle has hope of winning the championship?

Manchester United said there is hope because the remaining games are still long, but now there is only one game left for Newcastle. Do you think there is hope? Are you overconfident? "

Hearing the reporter's question, Keegan took a deep breath and was silent for a few seconds before slowly saying: "Listen, we just hope to keep our hope alive. In the past few days, various public opinions have been flying everywhere, some even slanderous.

But we don't comment on anything, I just do our training well, and hope that every pass in the game will be at the level of usual training. "

Hearing what he said, the host of the press conference, who had been acting as a tool before, noticed something keenly. He realized some clues and quickly followed up: "What do you mean? Who and what have affected you and your team?"

The muscles in Keegan's face twitched. He didn't expect that even the host had cut him.

There were only a handful of situations where the host gave control skills at the press conference. Keegan seemed to act low-key in the second half of the season, but actually provoked many supporters of other clubs.

His attitude of "as long as I don't have diarrhea, you will lose" makes many supporters of the team very upset. It is not an unforgivable sin for the host of the press conference not to give the head coach a step down.

Even if he hates him, he can't help it.

If you are unlucky, there is nothing to say. Bad luck is the original sin.

Keegan was irritated by the host of the press conference, but he still wanted to maintain his image in front of the public: "No, no, no, I think everything that needs to be said should be said. You should have someone bring the video of our game today to Alex. Isn't this the effect he wants?"

As soon as his words fell, a reporter answered immediately: "I'm sure, if Ferguson watched this game, he would not blame Leeds United anymore. Because Leeds United really tested your team today."

This sentence made Keegan mad, he was obviously on top, but he was still trying to suppress his emotions: "We played a game against Leeds United today, but Alex is very strange, he has always had objections to such a schedule.

It was settled four months ago, the league committee arranged for us to play Leeds United, what's wrong with that? "

After he finished speaking, the reporters in the audience started to rush to ask questions. Everyone wanted to make up the last knife. Perhaps everyone was working together to create a crazy noisy and chaotic atmosphere.

When a person is upset and asked questions by more than a dozen people at the same time, everyone will collapse.

The veins on Keegan's neck had exploded, but his endurance was slightly better than the average person's, and he still had the last shred of reason left.

After all, he was also a former professional player. He had seen the wind and the waves, even if he was disturbed by the noise, he could still grit his teeth and stand up.

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly said loudly: "But, Mr. Kevin, this may be part of the psychological warfare plan, and you have been recruited!"

The loud reporter successfully made up the knife.

Hearing his words, Keegan's expression turned ferocious: "No! When you use to evaluate those Leeds United players, when you use people like Pierce to achieve these goals... I have been silent.

But I gotta say, when he did, I lost my respect for him, and we didn't. "

This sentence seemed to ignite the fuse of his emotions.

Keegan started to get a little hysterical in front of the camera, "But I want to tell you, you can immediately tell him who is watching this on TV that we are still fighting for the championship, and he has two games and has not yet scored the points he wants. Honestly, if we finally beat them, I will be very happy, very happy!
I just like to win him, I just want to win him! ! ! "

The TV screen quickly sent out this plot full of gorgeous conflict factors, and Sky TV even added background music.In the following week, Keegan's face and this passage were repeatedly used by the media to make a fuss.

Almost all the media believed that when the team he commanded still had games to play and had not completely lost hope of winning the championship, as the team's head coach, Keegan gave the worst response to Ferguson's challenge.

He completely lost his composure.

This is tantamount to telling the world that Ferguson has defeated him, at least psychologically.

The rest of the drama is self-evident.

Before the game the next day, Ferguson accepted an interview, when asked if he would see Keegan's sudden emotional breakdown, he said coldly: "Kevin's sudden outburst shocked everyone and caught me off guard.

God, I feel so sorry for him.

When I watched the replay later, I began to slowly digest what he said.I also felt a little guilty...although I was disappointed by his attack, but I put it all down to the pressure he was under. "

Also disappointed with Keegan is Beckham. He didn't expect this 44-year-old man to be as fragile as a boy in front of the old man, crying loudly after being bitten by an ice cream.

Although the image of this slightly stocky man is a little bit worse, he has always shown himself as a social brother.

Beckham had a little respect for him before. He felt that if Keane worked as a head coach after retiring, he would probably be a bit like Keegan. Both of them are very tough.

But in the past few months, when Ferguson took off Keegan's suits one by one in front of the whole world, Beckham was surprised to find that the red scarf on his old man's shirt was shining.

Yesterday, Keegan took off his trousers. It turned out that he was wearing cow-spotted long johns in his trousers.

By the way, there are black tube socks.

Once the personality of a head coach collapses, his image in the hearts of everyone is so bad.

How stalwart the image was established at the beginning, how funny it will be after the character design collapses.

On April 4, when "God Save the Queen" was playing at Old Trafford, Beckham suddenly remembered a day when he was 28 years old.

He was accompanied by his father into the office of Venables, then Tottenham manager.

Venables looked like someone out of "The Godfather" that day. He took one look at Beckham, then looked at his profile and said: "What a beautiful lad, we're going to play for the same club!"

It hurt a little bit, it was the third time the two had met, and Venables had no memory of himself at all.

To be honest, if Venables had been half as good as Ferguson that day, he would have been a Tottenham player.

A London boy uprooted, the choice is not as easy as it sounds.

As long as the sense of belonging that Tottenham gives him can match Manchester United, it is impossible for him to make this choice.

Beckham liked playing football when he was a child because his father liked playing football, and he liked Manchester United because his father was a diehard Manchester United fan.

On that morning, even the father thought the contract offered by Tottenham was acceptable.

But Beckham finally chose Manchester United, a club that respects itself more.

Ferguson knew his football history from June to 6 years old, knew the teams his father played for, and could pronounce his mother's name proficiently.

For a 13-year-old, it's an exaggeration to say how much he loves one more club.

An ordinary boy of this age can only love whoever loves him.

Ferguson gave him enough respect, so he chose Manchester United.

This is how the story begins.

"God Save the Queen" ended, and the simultaneous applause from around Old Trafford pulled Beckham back from his youthful memories.

He smiled and waved towards the court. He had a hunch that his career was about to usher in the first championship trophy.

He somehow wanted to thank his family, the old man, and Venables.

If my father is an idle alcoholic, and my family must now live in a slum in the East End of London, then the only way to improve my social class is to rely on my appearance to compete with rich women.

If Venables had done his homework early that day and memorized the information prepared by his assistant, he would have been thrown into the reserve team by the revolving coach.

If I hadn't met the old man, I'm afraid I wouldn't realize until the end of my career how important those seemingly boring things are to a professional player.

In short, I am a Manchester United man, a Manchester United man who is about to win the championship trophy.

Beckham does not believe that Manchester United will lose, because in the last home game in the past ten seasons, the team's score was 8 wins and 2 draws, and one of the draws was caused by the fact that they won the championship early and sent all substitutes.

If you only refer to the historical record of the past ten years, it is impossible for Manchester United to lose, and the probability of even a tie is very low.

Of course, history isn't going to dictate what is going on in the game, so Beckham is determined to get rid of today's opponents, Nottingham Forest.

However, the Forest team who came to Manchester United's Old Trafford Stadium did not intend to surrender. They defended tenaciously for almost the entire first half.

You know, it's not decent to use the champion as a background board, and you won't get any good luck.

Facing Manchester United's strong impact, Nottingham Forest could only grit their teeth.

Manchester United have been attacking, but it is difficult to create scoring chances.

The turning point of the game came in the 41st minute. Giggs dribbled the ball in from the left. He accelerated past the Norwegian right back named Harland, and then passed back from the bottom line in an inverted triangle.In this game, Scholes, who replaced Cole in the starting lineup and partnered with Cantona as a striker, even though he appeared on the small penalty area line, he drew the ball firmly on the goalkeeper.

There was a sigh all over Old Trafford.

"Is it true that all forwards in Cole's position are of this level?"

"Is this kid blind, the goal is so big, and he wants to hit the goalkeeper?"

"Whose child is this? I feel malnourished. Hurry up and get it home to make up for it before playing football!"

Amid the complaints from the audience, Cantona stepped on the ball back and forth in the penalty area.

After attracting the attention of the surrounding defenders, he passed the ball to the left rear.

The defenders around him subconsciously looked behind him, and Beckham suddenly appeared in the penalty area.

He didn't stop the ball and immediately pushed the near corner, and the Nottingham Forest goalkeeper made a skillful shot.

But Beckham didn't shoot. His feint just now was just a realistic fake.

Seeing that the goalkeeper was in such a nasty posture, Beckham immediately dribbled the ball laterally and passed the goalkeeper. The goal was as big as a portal in front of him. He pushed the ball into the goal and then ran towards the stands with a smile.

Keane, who was laughing loudly this time, still followed behind him, but kept a certain distance. The experience of being almost crushed to death last time made him a little afraid of these stunned young men.

The big screen in the stadium directly gave a close-up of the Nottingham Forest goalkeeper. He still maintained the shape just now, and the audience roared with laughter.

1 is better than 0!

All the things that portend happiness are hard won.

But when they came, all the past seemed to be beautified, covered with a layer of beautiful halo.
