Chapter 252 A player who doesn't want to be an actor is not a good director

The Champions League final is over, but this dramatic game became a hot topic of discussion in the next few days.

Perhaps Manchester United lost too heroically in the game, so the English media are very tolerant of Manchester United.

When the competition within the Premier League meets Manchester United, many media are more or less inclined.

In order to seize the pockets of local readers, many media outlets with limited distribution areas will say things that the local newspapers like to hear.

But it is another matter to evaluate Manchester United now. As the saying goes, the ass determines the head, and there is nothing wrong with the enemy in the face of the same enemy.

Italy was originally England's sworn enemy in the World Cup qualifiers. The next time the two teams meet, one of them will end in a particularly miserable situation. The English media now wish that all the professional players in Italy would travel through World War II and come back after half a year of training.

Of course, it's one thing for opponents to hate. Manchester United has been unanimously recognized by everyone, as long as the reason is that they play well.

Ferguson once again guided all the Premier League teams to be human.

Solskjaer, who was bought for £150 million, scored 18 goals in one season and became Manchester United's top scorer this season.

Surprise not surprise?
Johansen, who was bought for £120 million, made great contributions to the defense. In the last few minutes of the Champions League final, Juventus' defense was a disaster.

Accident or not?
Not only that, Poborski still relied on his single-minded running ability to waste many full-backs even though he was not acclimatized.

Cruyff Jr., who came with Cruyff py, also played a big role at the beginning of the season. Although he is a bit stretched compared to his father, his level is not low.

The most important thing is that "Class 92" has fully matured after the baptism of this season.

If Manchester United had ups and downs last season because of their unstable performance, they needed the king to lead them to lie down.

They have played a more important role this season.

Not to mention anything else, but Manchester United's midfield has a total of 4 positions, and "Class 92" occupies 3 positions.

It is no exaggeration to say that "Class of 92" is Manchester United's waist.

Without the "Class of 92", Ferguson had to go to the transfer market to buy a kidney treasure.

The most notable of these was Beckham, who was put in central midfield by Ferguson when Keane was injured and still performed well.

Through this season, heartthrob has completely broken the stereotype that he has good looks and good skills in the hearts of everyone, but he is only suitable for playing non-confrontation football.

In many games, he used his overall view, super running ability and tough fighting style to make the media shine.

His stunning lob against Wimbledon, his inside-cut decisive win against Liverpool and his tried and tested full moon machete all left a deep impression on the fans.

The value of a heartthrob is not only reflected on the football field, he has gradually made the English people realize that personal branding is also part of the commercialization of football.

The Sun let their venomous editor, Nick, let himself go and turned the football section of the gossip paper into a Beckham column.

Other media initially thought that the "Sun" was going crazy, but when the sales statistics were calculated, everyone was surprised to find that "The Sun" had boosted sales by more than 10% just by bragging about Beckham.

"The Sun" is not one of those crappy news outlets, of course, they also broke the news, but most of the time they are hard on celebrities, and they never make news about where the second- and third-rate starlets go at night, solo or team fights.

Beckham showed his influence with the performance of "The Sun".

Immediately afterwards, Coca-Cola tentatively invited Beckham to shoot an advertisement, but the effect was not very good, so they raised the price continuously to get the endorsement rights of the heartthrob.

Affected by the big market, Manchester United's legal department reminded the club that the portrait rights clause in the contract with Beckham has not kept up with the market, and there are still certain risks.

The club also deliberately increased Beckham's weekly salary by 1 to obtain his portrait rights.

In addition to Beckham's rapid growth, Giggs, Scholes Bart and the Neville brothers are all called an indispensable part of the team.

17 goals and 12 assists may not be impressive enough, but don't forget that he has played in midfield for more than 30 games this season.

Looking at it this way, his statistics are quite impressive.

Compared with goals and assists, Beckham's sharpest data is his running ability. This season, his average running distance reached 12850 meters. With him, Manchester United has one more midfielder than their opponents.

But looking at this data, some people may want to criticize his running efficiency, but he averaged 96 passes per game during his tenure as a midfielder, and his pass success rate of 89% left the barists with nothing to say
The media all believe that Manchester United has transitioned from the single-core model of Cantona last season to the dual-core model of Cantona and Keane this season. Next season may usher in a three-core operation model of king + iron midfielder + heartthrob.

But unfortunately, the sky doesn't follow people's wishes.

According to reliable sources, on the second day after the Champions League final, Cantona knocked on the door and entered Ferguson's office, and the two talked for nearly 4 hours.

When they walked out of the office, the faces of both of them were ugly.

Seeing the appearance of the two people, everyone predicted that there was a rift between the best partners who were both teachers and friends, and Cantona was about to join the wealthy team.

So the media began to break the news that the French had reached an agreement with Barcelona, ​​and the official announcement will be made within a week.

The media even stated that the long talk yesterday was about the transfer of the Frenchman.

The report even published the content of the conversation between the two. Cantona believes that England is the desert of European football. He has lost his passion here, and he wants to accept the challenge on a higher platform.

There are also rumors that the club the French transferred to is actually Real Madrid. The Spanish club believes that Raúl, who is just showing off, cannot carry the banner of offense for the time being, and the existing personnel cannot satisfy the club. They need Cantona to provide support for the club's goals.

Some media even said that the destination of the Frenchman's transfer is actually Italy, and his next club will be AC ​​Milan.

The French have two purposes for doing this. The first purpose is to go to the best league for two years while he is still at his peak.

His second goal is to fully defeat the Juventus team where Didier Deschamps played. The hatred between the two is really endless.

One conversation caused countless news, and some reports even have noses and eyes, which is really unfavorable to refute.

The news of Cantona's imminent transfer has been spreading, and no one from Manchester United has issued a statement, which adds to the veracity of the rumors.

Everyone is more and more convinced that Cantona will leave Manchester United, and the days of the King's departure from the club have entered the countdown. The only question may be his transfer destination.

The media all believed that with Ferguson's character, he would definitely give the green light to the Frenchman's transfer at this time.

However, three days later, when Cantona announced his retirement at his personal press conference, everyone couldn't believe their ears.

At the end of last season, Cantona had announced separately that he might leave football. Everyone thought it was something he said out of frustration. Unexpectedly, the Frenchman had decided to end his career a year ago.

Many fans understand the reason why Cantona wanted to quit, but what is surprising is that Manchester United has no way to keep him, no way to change his decision.

Even Cantona's best teacher and friend, the coach who understands him the most, and Ferguson, who doesn't want him to leave the most, can't do anything about it.

Cantona is only 31 years old, but he has no hesitation, and he resolutely retires in this way regardless of any retention.His overall state is actually still excellent, still at the peak.

He pays so much attention to his body, reasonable training and recovery, he can maintain a competitive state for a long time, at least he can play in a team like Manchester United for one more year.With his level, even if he is getting old and unable to resist the laws of nature, Cantona can still play for another club, or he can return to France to play for his hometown team.

Cantona's good friend Banna guessed that this decision was related to the contradictions of the French national team.

Cantona is popular in the Premier League and Manchester United, and his influence is the same for a while, but he will always be a marginal figure in the French national team and has never been reused.Not only the national team, but even Cantona still bears all kinds of infamy in French football.

Among the French celebrities, except for Platini and Michel who have a preference for Cantona, other football players are not interested at all.The previous head coaches of the French team all respected him and regarded him as a thoroughly thorny character. When he played in Ligue [-], he was criticized for his perverse behavior. His crazy behavior such as attacking the referee and insulting the coach made Cantona bear the notoriety of a bad boy very early on.

When Cantona came to England and won the top league titles with Leeds United and Manchester United, especially led Manchester United to win consecutive titles and defend the title twice, becoming the hottest superstar in the Premier League, the French football circle had to accept him.But in 1995, Cantona was rejected by the French national team and missed the 1996 European Cup.Not only that, the then national team coach Jacques even said bluntly, "As long as I am still in the French national team, it will never be possible to recruit Cantona!"

The French team that gave up Cantona was questioned in the 1996 European Championship, but they still played a very good performance.The outstanding performance of Didier Deschamps, Desailly, Pettit and Zidane made French fans accept the fact that the national team does not have Cantona.

Cantona was very angry, and his response was extremely spicy, "I announce that I will quit the French national team forever. I am not trash, I hate trash very much, and I will not be with a group of monkeys and narcissistic ostriches."

This Frenchman, who always held his neck high like a Gallic rooster, had his own unique pride.

After returning from the suspension period of the flying kick incident, Cantona's way of dealing with people seems to have been reborn. He almost no longer caused troubles outside the court, stopped drinking and fighting, and kept restraint when encountering provocations and violations on the court, responding in a correct way.

Cantona wasn't mad at those malicious fouls. He was like a saint.His temper has changed, but Cantona's skills, his game attitude, and his commanding ability have not changed.It is precisely because of Cantona's almost miraculous performance and his own strength that Manchester United finally reversed Newcastle and regained the Premier League title under the huge gap of 12 points behind.

Cantona selflessly trained a group of his own successors for Manchester United.And the self-reflection made Cantona himself more aware of what role he should play in the team. This kind of cognition and action transcends personal interests.

"Help on the horse and send you a ride." While delighted with the progress made by those young players, Cantona also felt that the mission and goal he pursued was rapidly approaching.

His mission is to lead Manchester United to a breakthrough in the Champions League.If you can climb to the top of Europe, it will truly prove to the world-"Cantona is the king of Manchester United, the king of the Champions League, and the king of France!"

Unfortunately, it's still a step behind.

Only then did everyone realize that they might be able to guess the outcome of everything about Cantona, but they will never be able to guess the course.

Manchester United fans have lost their glorious superstar, the club has lost its leader, the team has lost its captain and football has lost its talent, philosophy and freedom.

"Class of 92" lost their eternal god, Old Trafford lost their king.

The news of "the king's abdication" forced the club to embark on a new journey.

The departure of the king has brought new topics of discussion to the media. How will the Manchester United team without a core build a team next season?Buy world-class stars from the transfer market or support newcomers?

At the end of this season, Manchester United suddenly lost two forwards. Except for Cantona who terminated his contract with the club a year in advance, the veteran McClair did not get a contract extension and left the club after the end of the season. Which forwards Manchester United will introduce as supplements has also become the focus of heated discussions.

When Cantona announced his retirement, Beckham was already lying on the beach by the sea, and "the dream of thousands of French men" was applying sunscreen to him.

If it wasn't for Gary's timely report, he may have to delay for 2 months in this "isolated" place to get the news of Cantona's retirement.

Beckham called the Frenchman, and the other party's tone was calm, without any sentimentality.

This made Beckham feel a lot more comfortable. Life is still long, and starting a new life may not be a bad thing for him.

But this phone call made Beckham feel a little weird. Cantona, who is usually concise and concise, chatted with him for a long time and introduced his future career plans to him.

Cantona said that he is going to be an actor, and if he has the opportunity, he might try to be a director. He also asked Beckham to promise to support him if conditions permit.

Beckham thought that these were just words of honor, so he agreed decisively.

Unexpectedly, only two days later, Cantona called him again.

On the phone, the French said that an oil tycoon was very interested in Beckham and wanted to invest in a movie and let him be an actor.

The Russian oil tycoon said that if Cantona could persuade Beckham, he would let him be the director.

Hearing Cantona's words, Beckham was stunned. What he said yesterday, he was waiting here!
It is said that this rich man is particularly fascinated by vampire stories and wants to watch a movie about vampires.

Beckham didn't know what to say when he heard this. How could making a movie be such a joke?
In addition, Cantona was still playing football a week ago, and he will be a director in a few days. Why does he feel so psychedelic?
