Arthur's Football
Chapter 171
Arthur, Kaka, Gary, Scholes, and Beckham were named by Redondo to the meeting.
Several parties involved are also very straightforward, can the boss not go to talk to him?
When they left, everyone started talking:
"Why these few? What combination is this?"
"Uh, remove Gary, it's barely a combination of midfielders?"
"Then Gary... committed a crime?"
"Perhaps discussing tactics?"
"Have you ever seen the BOSS discuss tactics with you? And discussing tactics, what does Gary bring?"
Valencia was silent.
He had never seen such an authoritative captain who was "disliked" by everyone.
Cristiano hooked up the ball under his feet and continued his training.
It's not that he's not curious, and it's not that he doesn't gossip, how could a person not have such a small hobby in the locker room.His "indifference" is only because he knows that he will know the inside story before the guy.
Could his cub still hide it from him?
Redondo glanced at him appreciatively. To the "group" who were gossiping together, he indulged them for a while and then blew his whistle to remind them, "Gentlemen, should you continue training?"
Everyone paused Gary's criticism session, after all, there are not many chances to see the captain's misfortune.
Gary muttered as he walked, "Why am I a guard?"
Yes, he felt a little wrong too.
Arthur is a quiet little gentleman. It was the first time that Kaka went to a "meeting" in groups after the transfer, and they all kept silent.
"Obviously you did something." Old Bei squinted at him.
"What's wrong with me! I didn't! I didn't make a mistake!" Gary looked at him indignantly.
Lao Si glanced at him and said nothing, but his eyes said everything.
Gary: "..."
Will these two bastards die if they don't discredit me in front of Arthur?
Because he arrived at the office, he glanced at the well-behaved and calm Arthur and said nothing.
Ferguson was the only one in the office.
Ferguson motioned for them to sit on the couch, with only one chair in front of his desk.
Immediately, he also got up and walked to the single sofa to sit down, then watched Gary and Beckham squeeze back and forth speechlessly, and was finally squeezed away with disgust, so he could only look at him aggrieved.
Ferguson: ...
Does this idiot think he is Cyril's age?
He can't be bothered to look at him!
Gary could only sit on another single sofa even more aggrieved.
QAQ!
Did I really make a mistake?
He immediately racked his brains to think about what the hell he had been doing lately.
Could it be that yesterday's ridicule was too much? BOSS and Mourinho seem to have a good personal relationship...
Ferguson didn't look at him at all, he looked at Arthur, then at Kaka, then finally at Scholes and Beckham.
Gary: ...
"I asked you to come to discuss Arthur's position with you," Ferguson said.
Gary breathed a sigh of relief immediately, and then glanced proudly at Lao Si and Lao Bei.Look, the boss asked me to come because I am the captain!
"Of course, we also have to talk about the future of Manchester United." Ferguson smiled lightly.
Gary finally understood why he was called over by Ferguson.
Manchester United's future?
This is to let the little guy be the team leader as they wish!
Arthur found that Kaka and Beckham, who had been sitting relaxed, straightened their backs, and even Scholes, who had the worst sitting posture, suddenly straightened his back.
This affected Arthur, who was sitting in the most "normal" posture, a little bit.
Ferguson kept looking at him, and laughed when he saw his little moves. This kid is indeed a bit cute.
Ferguson looked at him with a smile, his eyes were as loving as looking at his own grandson, and explained to him: "Inter Milan also held a pre-match press conference today. Mourinho said that you are worthy of starting, and he also said that you are only suitable for Up front—”
He waved his hand and said to Gary who wanted to get angry, "I'm not angry, I know what that guy wants to do, but I think it's time to talk about this issue."
He looked at Arthur again, "Where do you want to be next season?"
Arthur blinked, and as soon as he did this, Ferguson said speechlessly: "Arthur, are you acting like a baby to me? Do you need to act like a baby to me?"
"Pfft ha ha ha!" Gary laughed immediately, and Arthur found that the three people around him were the same, which made him look at Ferguson a little "wronged". The boss shouldn't say that he is acting like a baby, he didn't!He is not!He didn't act like a baby!
"Say it quickly." Gary urged Arthur with a smile.
"Tell me." Kaka also encouraged him.
"I want to go to the midfield, but I can't stick to the whole court." Arthur whispered his "worries".
"Then go to the midfield." Ferguson said without hesitation, he stared at Arthur, "Since you want to play in the midfield, go to the midfield."
Arthur didn't expect the boss to be so decisive.
According to his judgment, Ferguson obviously wants to use him to build the team, but if he can't maintain stability, how can he keep the team stable?
Looking at him like this, Ferguson knew that he was starting to dig into the horns again. He didn't understand what his unique brain was thinking. He just said in a calm tone: "This season we won three consecutive championships and defended the Champions League. If we are lucky enough, we will still be the seven champions. But no matter how strong a team is, there will be ups and downs, prosperity and decline. We don’t have to win so many championships every season, you Ever seen a team that never loses?"
Arthur was silent.
Ferguson could see it.
If Arthur were to play in the frontcourt, he would still want to play in midfield, or "desire" could be used to describe it.
At that time, he will be both happy for him and troubled, because it means adjusting.
That being the case, it might as well be in place at once!
Ferguson said proudly: "Cesc Fabregas, are you not as good as him?"
Arthur immediately raised his head and responded to his gaze: "No, BOSS, I will be better than him."
"Of course you are better than him!" Ferguson snorted, his disciple is of course better than Wenger!
Beckham wondered at this moment what they were here for.
Although the scene in front of them was gratifying, it seemed that nothing happened to them.
Sensing his gaze, Ferguson glanced at Kaka, Lao Si and him and said: "If this kid goes to the midfield, your position may be affected. I hope you are mentally prepared."
If the situation were different, Ferguson would not tell the players directly like this, because it would inevitably cause a wave of hatred for Arthur, but he was extremely relieved of the three in front of him.
Kaka is the core of the future midfielder he bought-originally, but now he is placed in the frontcourt.
Not to mention Beckham, his positioning is a bit complicated, he can be an engineer, he can also serve as a support, and he can also be on top of the organization. He is actually very easy to use and fits very well with Manchester United.
Scholes is Manchester United's current playmaker, and his presence means stability.
If Arthur goes to the midfield, Kaka will continue to play as the attacking midfielder. In theory, the two will not hinder each other.
But Ferguson discussed his future with Kaka. He once persuaded Kaka to retreat. He should have an explanation to the Brazilians instead of vague past.
Beckham and Scholes are much easier to talk about. There is no doubt that they are two bricks, and he can move them as he wants.
Kaka keenly realized that Ferguson was not so much discussing with everyone, but as discussing with him...
He needs to think.
Most of the time this season, he still plays as a midfielder, and occasionally he can play as a shadow forward in a few games, ambush behind Arthur, Rooney or Benzema, playing easily and comfortably.
But you can't just look at the present as a person. His style of play is rarely able to maintain his peak state.Ferguson wanted him to overdevelop into an all-around midfielder and then drop back, which is the way Scholes has gone.
It's good for his career, and the success stories are right in front of his eyes.
But... Scholes was close to 30 when he dropped back.
Ferguson did not intend to let him express his position now, players need to seriously think about their future.
Without giving them a chance to speak, he looked at Arthur again: "Gary is getting older, and his playing time will be reduced next season. Gary once suggested to me that you should be the captain. Can you afford the captain's armband?"
Kaka was shocked, even though he was used to seeing strong winds and waves, he had never seen a head coach like Ferguson——
In front of these team members, is this going to abolish the meritorious captain and directly help Arthur to the top?
But he found that he was wrong, because Gary had already shouted to Arthur impatiently: "Yes, silly boy, I don't like Terry a long time ago!"
"That's right. Why does the national team captain belong to Chelsea?" Scholes said coldly.
Even Beckham, the former captain of the Three Lions, now nods in agreement.
Kaka: "..."
What kind of thinking is this!
At this time, he actually jumped to the national team?
But he can understand.
Ferdinand is England's vice-captain, and he and Terry are not inferior to Terry in terms of qualifications.
In terms of ability, his partner with Vidic is currently the number one central defender partner in football.
In terms of honor, Ferdinand has a Champions League lead.
This makes Ferdinand, how can Manchester United players who have been selected for the national team be convinced by Terry?
Sure enough, England has a glorious tradition of internal strife, not inferior to France, the Netherlands, and Argentina.
"I can, BOSS." Arthur, who was watched by Ferguson, said slowly.
Arthur didn't feel that Ferguson's proposal was "sudden".
Gary has said this many times, and even Beckham has said it many times in front of him.
Will he become a qualified captain?
Arthur had asked himself.
But the education he received since he was a child made him only come to one conclusion: I can.
I will be a qualified captain.
If one day, I have the opportunity to become the captain of the Three Lions, it will be my honor, and I will not refuse such an honor.
Ferguson has been watching him all the time. He should actually be thankful, perhaps because Arthur has been "resisting pressure" since he was born as the heir to the duke with expectations.
He believes he can be a good captain and if he isn't already, he will have time to learn.
In short, this kid is better than Cesc Fabregas in every way, of course he will do better than him!
Ferguson looked at Gary, "Let's talk about your contract renewal tomorrow morning, and I will hold a press conference in the afternoon."
For such a big event, of course there must be a press conference!
Gary: ...
Is this going to give me another year of contract?
Gary was overjoyed!
He knew that Ferguson's words were both a compensation and a hint, but whatever, Gary was still flattered.
Valencia's performance after retreating has made him realize that the competition at right back is more intense, and he may rarely get a starting chance.
A captain who can't start is embarrassing, let alone let Arthur take the lead, what can he say?
Ferguson finally said: "Okay, there are no other questions, you can go back first. By the way, if you have anything you want to discuss with me, you can call me, or you can come to my office directly."
Kaka knew it was what Ferguson told him, he smiled slightly, patted Arthur on the shoulder and left with them.
Scholes glanced at Kaka after leaving the office. He wanted to say something to Kaka, but he didn't.
The future of Brazilians should be determined by themselves.
But Lao Si thought, if Kaka's position does not move, and Anderson wants to grab the starting lineup from the top card of his national team, then the kid is still desperate.
Arthur was held by Gary's neck, and he was about to start the teacher mode, but was slapped away by Beckham.
The heartthrob stared at Gary: "Don't teach him your tricks."
As the former captain of the Three Lions, Beckham felt that he was Arthur's template, not Gary's big mouth!
Gary rolled his eyes at him, but didn't argue with him.
Arthur is Arthur, it can't be him, it can't be Beckham.
Back on the training ground, the teammates who were training immediately looked at them.
I want to know why the BOSS called them over so solemnly.
The heart of gossip, of course everyone has it.
As a result, Gary raised Arthur's arm from a distance and shouted at them: "Look! This is our new captain!"
Carrington, who belongs to Manchester United, exploded.
Carrington, who belongs to Manchester City, heard the noise coming from the opposite side.
Not to mention Benzema's dumbfounded eyes, even Cristiano and Fatty were shocked!
It will be sooner or later, it is inevitable, but they did not expect this "sooner or later" and "inevitable" to come so fast, so early!
Immediately, Cristiano laughed, and the fat man had already run to Arthur and made a fuss about letting Arthur treat him.
At this moment, even Redondo laughed, and the voices shouting for a "treat" gathered together in a uniform manner, wishing to rush into the sky.
Arthur looked at them with a smile and shouted for a while before saying, "I'll treat you."
Just when everyone was about to cheer, he added: "Can tomorrow night be okay? I want to invite everyone to the manor. The chef at the manor is good at cooking."
This is simply a surprise!
They were invited to that "country manor" on Arthur's birthday and Halloween, but they were all part of the banqueted guests that time. This time, their team leader invited them alone, so the meaning is of course different.
For the British in the team, this meaning is even more different.
"Long live the captain!" Anderson yelled!
"Long live the captain!" Rooney glared at him.
"Long live the captain!" Anderson shouted in a timely manner.
There was a smile on the corner of Arthur's mouth, he watched his teammates laughing, it was hard for him to describe how he felt at the moment.
Maybe a little fast, a little sudden, but he will not be afraid, he will work hard to do well.
Cristiano stood beside Benzema and looked at Arthur's eyes, his smile.
I am right.
he thought firmly.
The movement made by Manchester United is too great, because "chicken and dog hear each other", it is difficult for the base next door to ignore them.
Mourinho was standing on the training ground. He was not sure when he started making noise there, but the chanting of "treat" at the back became clearer, and at the end of "Long live the captain", he basically confirmed.
His face was a bit uneasy. He said that Arthur was worthy of starting and more worthy of building a team with him as the core. Ferguson followed Wenger's example and directly made Arthur the team captain?
He thought about Gary.Neville's situation after his serious injury, and thinking about his character, he felt that this was very likely to happen——
That Neville is not Keane!He has the blood of the Red Devils, but he is not as overbearing as Keane. He never wants to be the king of Carrington. He is a gun in Ferguson's hand!
Where to hit which kind!
This game is really not easy to play, he thought as he looked at the players who didn't train so hard after being attracted by the opponent.
He has to talk to Moratti, talk about the summer.
United held a press conference the next day.The media didn't know why, but this press conference obviously had nothing to do with the game, but it was closely related.
This time Ferguson brought Arthur and Gary together, and they first announced Gary's contract extension.
This is a bit premature. Generally speaking, it is only at the beginning of the new season that a contract extension with a meritorious veteran is considered, let alone Gary, and this contract is still "1+1", which is also a bit different from Manchester United in the past.
But everyone was eagerly waiting to ask Arthur, for example, how he felt about receiving the roses from Balotelli.
As a result, Ferguson fired another cold shot——
He announced the appointment of Arthur as Manchester United's second captain.
At this moment, not only the media exploded, but also the fans who had been paying attention after learning that Arthur attended the press conference were all exploded!
"I looked at Gary's starts this season, and it seems that there are only 28 of the 10 rounds in total?"
"Gary's serious injury had a big impact QAQ~"
"Although I feel sorry for Leo, I hope the Sir can accept my knee!"
"18 years old! Captain! Is this the youngest captain in team history?"
"Without a doubt! This should be @fabiocapello!"
"The group honey said that your coach is really capricious. He said that he dismissed the second captain...is that also a meritorious service?"
"Leo has posted a bunch of clapping emojis on Twitter, and posted a photo of the whole team with Arthur. They can't wait to put the captain's armband on Arthur on the training ground 23333~"
"Look at Gary's smile, okay! That cool expression is simply amazing!"
"Because he made money! Although he is still the captain, when he was seriously injured, of course, and more times this season, it was Leo who performed the duties of the captain~~ I feel sorry for Leo, but Leo doesn't need me to feel sorry for him "Dog head"~"
After Ferguson announced this decision, the media saw that he had nothing to say, and raised their hands to ask questions.
Lady Diana, Manchester United's head of news, has handpicked a reporter who works well with him, Lewis of The Times.
Unexpectedly, Lewis did not question Arthur, but pointed the finger at Ferguson.
"May I ask Sir Ferguson, why did you make this decision at this time? Does it mean that you have a long-term plan for Arthur's career?"
Ferguson nodded, "That's right, I have a long-term plan for Arthur, but it was Gary's recommendation for Arthur to become the captain. Ferdinand, Giggs and Vidic all gave me such advice. Yes, our Manchester United team. All four captains think that Arthur can be an excellent captain, and they also believe that responsibility and pressure can make him better."
All the Italian media scoffed, and the British media, such as Liverpool's "Echo" and other local media, also slandered in their hearts.
They think Ferguson is pure nonsense, this is definitely Ferguson's best!
The fourth captain Vidic said nothing, Ferdinand will have no objection?He is equivalent to the captain of Manchester United!And Giggs, doesn't he have an opinion?
Diana then clicked on the reporter from L'Equipe.
"French Football" is a magazine under the "L'Equipe" and has a high degree of credibility in the field of football.
The French reporter asked Arthur after getting up: "How did you get this news? What do you think about it?"
Before this conference was held, Ferguson told Arthur before entering the arena that he would take him to the conference more often in the future, and there would be many opportunities to deal with the media in the future, but he did not need to be under pressure.
He pointed to Gary and made a joke: "Because this is your ex."
Gary laughed immediately, and the future Newen Hao not only was not "ashamed" but also laughed loudly: "That's because my predecessor is Keane, and my predecessor is Cantona. Of course, I like the old captain Robson the most!"
These names, no matter what the reputation is, when they were Manchester United captains, they were the Red Devils, and the Red Devils were them
So what is the Red Devils?Arthur pondered.
Being interviewed at this moment is the first time he has fulfilled his responsibilities, even though he is the "second captain" at this moment.
"I was in the BOSS's office, and I got the news with my teammates." Arthur gently brought the topic, "I was a little surprised at the time, but as the BOSS said, my captain and deputy team have been Teach me how to be a better player, be a player with honor."
"Although the appointment of BOSS is a bit sudden, for me, this appointment is both pressure and motivation. It is a responsibility and an honor. I will work hard to learn how to become a qualified Manchester United captain."
Ferguson and Gary watched Arthur as he spoke.
They were on the left and the right, one of them looked normal, but the eyes behind the lens could let anyone see his love for Arthur and the high hopes he had for him.And the other was smiling all the time, just looking at the pride and pride in his eyes, which made many Italian media complain in their hearts——
Those who didn't know thought you were his father!
Although you're old enough to be his father!
Afterwards, Gary also accepted the question. The future literary giant praised Arthur as unparalleled in the world, which made many Arthur fans shouted on the Internet that he couldn't stand it!
"If this is not love, what is 2333~"
"Gary's son is Arthur Neville, find out!"
"His brother Phil joined in the fun on Twitter to blow Arthur a wave of 2333"
"Phil QAQ! Phil is also one of us, so of course he has the right to speak!"
"Wait! What's the fun with Team Jie!"
"I understand the truth, but I don't understand why Raul and Guti join in the fun. My devil appoints the captain to have something to do with you!"
"Of course it's related ←_←, Arthur is Redondo's disciple, and Redondo is also my team leader, and he played in the Champions League final with the captain's armband on!"
After the press conference, Ferguson patted Arthur on the shoulder with satisfaction, "I heard that you invited your teammates to have dinner at home?"
"Yes, BOSS." Arthur said, he realized something immediately, and apologized: "Sorry, I didn't—"
"Come on." Ferguson waved his hand. "I don't plan to participate. It's enough for these boys to accompany me to dinner twice a year. I don't want to eat with them often."
This made Arthur smile.
He knew Ferguson was referring to the Christmas dinner and the annual internal awards and dinner at the end of the season.
In fact, on Ferguson's birthday, the team members will also gather at his home.
"You saved the team a lot of dinner expenses." Ferguson waved to him and Gary, "Okay, let's go."
"See you tomorrow, BOSS." Arthur said goodbye to Ferguson.
Gary waved to Jazz, and couldn't hide his excitement and asked Arthur about tonight's arrangements.
Ferguson watched them drift away, and then turned to Diana who was always watching with a smile on the side.Ms. Law said, "Am I lucky?"
"It is not by luck that you have come here, ser," said Diana.
This is both a compliment and a fact.
Ferguson shook his head, "This is indeed my luck. I have met many good players during these years of coaching."
Ferguson went to the museum. Although it was closed time, any corner of Old Trafford, at any time, would open the door for him.
He stood in the museum, looking at the trophies on display, looking at those photos, he was looking at his time.
Today, he gets all the accolades a Premier League manager can get.
In 03, he wanted to retire, but his wife Kathy convinced him.
His wife understood him so well, she said with blood: "You will not retire, I know you, you are not satisfied. You are not the best in the history of Manchester United, you have not let everyone mention Manchester United. think of you."
This left him speechless, because when he asked himself, he was indeed unwilling.
In his position, he didn't need to compare himself with others, but what about Sir Busby?
He wants to surpass Busby, he wants to become the best in Manchester United history, not just a comparison of the number of championships, because what Busby has, he also has.
But Busby produced three Mr. Golden Globes.
he……
He did not.
Beckham used to be the closest one, the one he expected the most from.
But in the end the master and apprentice turned against each other, and he sent him away.
He bought Cristiano.Ronaldo, he gave him the number 7 jersey, he expected a lot from him.
As a result, because of his heart problem, the Portuguese curly sat on the bench for more than half a year in Manchester United's first season, but his performance was still outstanding.
Every year that followed, he got better and Manchester United ushered in another revival.
Cristiano achieved his "zero breakthrough" this year.
Even though he still decides to leave, what the hell, he still loves him!Because this kid chose to stay for a year, allowing him to keep this fruit of victory.
and then?
What did Kaka say when he was elected World Footballer of the Year?
"If you want one, God will give you ten."
Ferguson laughed, what God gave him was beyond his imagination.
On March 3, the second round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, the Dream Theater was packed.
The staff in the media area quickly noticed the difference at Old Trafford today -
Today's home broadcast is not "Road to Homecoming", but "Flying Wings".The Manchester United fans who have always been despised by other Premier League teams for being too "quiet" sang in unison, and the singing of the whole audience was one piece.
The Italian media found that today's away game is obviously not easy to play. The only thing that can make them feel relieved is that Arthur, who was just appointed by Ferguson as the second captain, is not in the starting list.
The legendary BBC commentator Guy.Mowbray said playfully: "According to the roster we just announced, although Ferguson regards Arthur as the future, he still put Arthur on the bench today, but it is understandable. We can also It was found that at the right back position, Valencia, who performed well in the last league game, did not get the chance to start. Gary Neville was able to start, and Manchester United's captain's armband is still on his right arm today."
At this time, on the field, the home commentator was announcing the rosters of both sides, and the Red Devils generously sent all the boos to the visiting team, and for the players of the home team, every appearance got their voices.
Home commentator Garnard put Gary last, and he wanted Gary to know that he was still the best captain in their hearts whenever he was on the pitch.
He was as important as Keane, Cantona, and his old captain Robson.
He is part of the Red Devils!
In the thunderous applause of the audience, Gary raised his hands and applauded, then patted the team badge on his chest and proudly swore loyalty.
Arthur sat beside Kaka very quietly, and they watched this scene.
The lineup Ferguson sent today is 433.
The starting goalkeeper is of course Edwin van der Sar.The defense from left to right is Evra, Ferdinand and Vidic, and the right back is Gary.Neville.
Midfielder Scholes partnered Carrick and Park Ji-sung.
Park Ji-sung has had few chances to play recently, but Arthur is sure that BOSS trusts the Koreans' defensive ability very much, and he was sent on the field today to deal with Cambiasso.
The front three are of course Cristiano, Benzema and Rooney.
Mourinho did not change the lineup today, and it is undoubtedly good news that the defender Samuel is recovering from injury.
But as Mourinho guessed, Ferguson would not play beautiful football at home. Although he boasted that he would double kill Inter Milan, even though he sent a 433 lineup, he was not in a hurry, the fence was tight, and There are two big killers sitting on the bench.
But no matter how difficult it is, the ball still has to be kicked, and Mourinho can only give it a go!
Inter Milan played significantly better today than last time. Balotelli, who started the game, appeared on the right side. He was very active. If Evra hadn't worked hard and focused on defense from the beginning of the game, he might have been beaten after the game. Van der Sar scolded like a dog.
"Balotelli is very excited today." Kaka said, he did not expect his performance today to be so much better than the previous game.
Arthur was silent.
Kaka was a little surprised that he didn't answer, "Arthur?"
Arthur whispered: "Mario wants to beat Chris."
This made Kaka immediately think of the "big words" that Super Mario made when he was a guest at home last time.
Before, Kaka could be viewed as the dream of young people, but now it seems that this little guy really wants to perform.
He said with emotion: "No wonder Chris worked so hard today."
Inter Milan started fiercely at the beginning, and their top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic was also more active than last time.
He got an excellent opportunity in the 4th minute, but the combination of Vidic and Ferdinand, the most stable central defender in world football, became a wall of sighs in front of him. Vidic successfully resolved his shot.
Ibrahimovic was a bit disappointed, but they didn't give up yet, and they ushered in another great opportunity in the 12th minute.
Zanetti slanted Stankovic, and Stankovic was also more active than in the previous game. When there was always Park Ji-sung by Cambiasso's side, he stood up and organized the attack.
Stankovic distributed the ball to the left. Balotelli did not take the ball and then fight with Evra after receiving the ball. Instead, he passed the ball to Ibrahimovic who came up from the point difference.
Ibrahimovic received a cross from Balotelli, broke through Carrick and broke into the penalty area to hit the goal.
This attack was simple and efficient, Ibrahimovic did not deliberately pursue a better angle, and only hit a surprise, but Van der Sar's save was very timely and successfully resolved the Swede's shot.
Van der Sar immediately throws the ball and finds Scholes. At this time, Manchester United's front trident has already run desperately, and has already passed halftime!
Scholes caught the ball in the backcourt and glanced at the frontcourt, followed by a long pass!
It can be seen from the live footage that this long pass is amazingly accurate!
The ball fell directly in front of Cristiano across the half court. The Portuguese ran forward just one step before protecting the ball to his feet, and then broke through the young player Thornton who played well on the left side of the penalty area.
Don't think you can prevent him this time!
With this 1-on-1 breakthrough, Thornton was powerless against the Portuguese.
After breaking through Thornton, Cristiano knocked the ball across to Rooney on the left. Rooney and Benzema played a wall collision and then passed the ball back to the Portuguese who had cut in along the baseline.
Cristiano didn't have any hesitation——
"Shoot! Cristiano!!!" Manchester United's famous commentator Paddy.Cleland shouted loudly, which caused the fans in the audience to move.
The whole of Old Trafford is like a volcano erupting suddenly, with magma splashing out.
Andy.Gray made the final decision: "The total score is 5:1, which is a 4-goal lead! Of course, Mourinho and his team still have nearly 80 minutes to change."
The Portuguese in the shot looked stern, and the next second the shot was on Capello.
Capello came to watch the game in person. He was obviously inspecting the state of Manchester United players and preparing for the warm-up match in April.
In the end, the camera focused on Arthur who sat on the bench and applauded the male god scoring a goal.
Will Ferguson still use Arthur in the second half?
of course not!
Ferguson put Arthur and Kaka firmly on the bench and put them in the end.
Although Balotelli scored a goal for Inter Milan and saved a little face, it did not affect the overall situation.
In the end, Manchester United defeated Inter Milan with a total score of 6:2.
"Congratulations, Fergie." Mourinho very gracefully hugged Ferguson immediately after the game to congratulate him.
"You're not bad, I assure you, Jose, we'll be champions." Ferguson winked at him.
Mourinho didn't sneer back, but instead showed a meaningful smile: "Say what you say."
If it is to lose to this year's Champions League champion, it is not so unacceptable.
"I prepared a bottle of good wine for you, are you still in the mood to drink it?" Ferguson asked with a smile.
"What do you think? You took away a bottle of Treasure from me last time! It was given to me by Abramovich, and I haven't drunk it!" Mourinho countered.
The interaction between the two managers set the tone for the aftermath of the game.
Arthur found his friend Mario immediately after the game to comfort him, "That was a beautiful goal, Mario."
Balotelli pouted, "Cristiano scored twice."
He didn't get over that curly hair.
"But you performed very well. We will have a chance to play against each other in the future. At that time, you must have improved again." Arthur changed the subject when he said this: "You said that apple rose pie was delicious, I I brought you a bottle of rose jam today."
"Really?" Balotelli, who was still languid just now, was shocked immediately, "Mom will definitely like it!"
"Then I'll be very happy and I'll send it to you when you get back to Italy."
"Will it be troublesome?"
"No. Apart from giving away to others, many of the roses in the manor have been made into rose sauce and stored in the cellar. There are so many..."
Cambiasso stood not near or far away, and he could hear clearly, he was extremely unpredictable.
Are young people today like this?Or are the wonderful things on both sides getting together?
But it is undeniable that Manchester United's little golden retriever is indeed a good baby.
After this game, the quarterfinals of the Champions League have also been released!
What shocked the entire football world was that among the top eight of the Champions League, the top four of the Premier League gathered again!
Manchester United beat Inter Milan 6:2.
Chelsea eliminated Juventus 3:2.
Liverpool beat Real Madrid 5-0 on aggregate.
Arsenal and Roma fought until overtime and had no choice but to decide the winner in a penalty shootout.
It was not until the eighth round of the penalty shootout that Arsenal eliminated Roma with a total score of 7:6.
So far, all three Serie A teams have been eliminated by the Premier League team!
Apart from the semi-finals of the Premier League, the other four advanced teams are La Liga's Barcelona and Villarreal, Portugal's giants Porto, and German giants Bayern Munich.
After this battle in Serie A, there was not even a single seedling left, which also made the media lament the decline of Serie A.
Although Inter Milan and Juventus were eliminated, the focus of criticism by the media was still Real Madrid.
首回合在主场1:0落败后,次回合皇马在安菲尔德输了一个0:4,再次无缘欧冠8强,而这也已经是皇马连续5个赛季没有晋级8强!
Florentino once again stood up to express his disappointment with the team and how he would make changes if he was elected chairman.
In the absence of an opponent, Florentino will undoubtedly be re-elected as Real Madrid president.
After the match against Inter Milan, Ferguson was more interested in the upcoming league than showing off his record of double-killing old enemies.
Ferguson said: "I don't pay attention to the draw now, I only pay attention to one game now, and I only care about one result-double defeat Liverpool!"
That day was their home field.
Ferguson decided to give their fans a carnival at home on that day!
The author has something to say: *Recently long-lost small theater*
"Have you read Balotelli's Twitter?The rose stalk is hard to pass! "
Just upload the screenshot: [Balotelli: I received rose sauce from my best friend in the UK, a lot!It reminds me of his rose pie, which my mother didn't taste as good as. .jpg]
[Eight bottles of rose sauce standing in a row.jpg]
You said it cute!Did those roses end up being made into rose jam?
№0: LZ also wants to eat the little angel’s apple rose pie QAQ
№1: Sofa!
№2: LZ, you should give up, there is no rose sauce, no matter how greedy you are, you can only think about it for comfort.But you are not alone, we are with you o(╥﹏╥)o!
№3: Heck, am I the only one wondering what happened to Luther's rose?
№4: The Cather Party shouted: Must be eaten!
№5: Then ask
Several parties involved are also very straightforward, can the boss not go to talk to him?
When they left, everyone started talking:
"Why these few? What combination is this?"
"Uh, remove Gary, it's barely a combination of midfielders?"
"Then Gary... committed a crime?"
"Perhaps discussing tactics?"
"Have you ever seen the BOSS discuss tactics with you? And discussing tactics, what does Gary bring?"
Valencia was silent.
He had never seen such an authoritative captain who was "disliked" by everyone.
Cristiano hooked up the ball under his feet and continued his training.
It's not that he's not curious, and it's not that he doesn't gossip, how could a person not have such a small hobby in the locker room.His "indifference" is only because he knows that he will know the inside story before the guy.
Could his cub still hide it from him?
Redondo glanced at him appreciatively. To the "group" who were gossiping together, he indulged them for a while and then blew his whistle to remind them, "Gentlemen, should you continue training?"
Everyone paused Gary's criticism session, after all, there are not many chances to see the captain's misfortune.
Gary muttered as he walked, "Why am I a guard?"
Yes, he felt a little wrong too.
Arthur is a quiet little gentleman. It was the first time that Kaka went to a "meeting" in groups after the transfer, and they all kept silent.
"Obviously you did something." Old Bei squinted at him.
"What's wrong with me! I didn't! I didn't make a mistake!" Gary looked at him indignantly.
Lao Si glanced at him and said nothing, but his eyes said everything.
Gary: "..."
Will these two bastards die if they don't discredit me in front of Arthur?
Because he arrived at the office, he glanced at the well-behaved and calm Arthur and said nothing.
Ferguson was the only one in the office.
Ferguson motioned for them to sit on the couch, with only one chair in front of his desk.
Immediately, he also got up and walked to the single sofa to sit down, then watched Gary and Beckham squeeze back and forth speechlessly, and was finally squeezed away with disgust, so he could only look at him aggrieved.
Ferguson: ...
Does this idiot think he is Cyril's age?
He can't be bothered to look at him!
Gary could only sit on another single sofa even more aggrieved.
QAQ!
Did I really make a mistake?
He immediately racked his brains to think about what the hell he had been doing lately.
Could it be that yesterday's ridicule was too much? BOSS and Mourinho seem to have a good personal relationship...
Ferguson didn't look at him at all, he looked at Arthur, then at Kaka, then finally at Scholes and Beckham.
Gary: ...
"I asked you to come to discuss Arthur's position with you," Ferguson said.
Gary breathed a sigh of relief immediately, and then glanced proudly at Lao Si and Lao Bei.Look, the boss asked me to come because I am the captain!
"Of course, we also have to talk about the future of Manchester United." Ferguson smiled lightly.
Gary finally understood why he was called over by Ferguson.
Manchester United's future?
This is to let the little guy be the team leader as they wish!
Arthur found that Kaka and Beckham, who had been sitting relaxed, straightened their backs, and even Scholes, who had the worst sitting posture, suddenly straightened his back.
This affected Arthur, who was sitting in the most "normal" posture, a little bit.
Ferguson kept looking at him, and laughed when he saw his little moves. This kid is indeed a bit cute.
Ferguson looked at him with a smile, his eyes were as loving as looking at his own grandson, and explained to him: "Inter Milan also held a pre-match press conference today. Mourinho said that you are worthy of starting, and he also said that you are only suitable for Up front—”
He waved his hand and said to Gary who wanted to get angry, "I'm not angry, I know what that guy wants to do, but I think it's time to talk about this issue."
He looked at Arthur again, "Where do you want to be next season?"
Arthur blinked, and as soon as he did this, Ferguson said speechlessly: "Arthur, are you acting like a baby to me? Do you need to act like a baby to me?"
"Pfft ha ha ha!" Gary laughed immediately, and Arthur found that the three people around him were the same, which made him look at Ferguson a little "wronged". The boss shouldn't say that he is acting like a baby, he didn't!He is not!He didn't act like a baby!
"Say it quickly." Gary urged Arthur with a smile.
"Tell me." Kaka also encouraged him.
"I want to go to the midfield, but I can't stick to the whole court." Arthur whispered his "worries".
"Then go to the midfield." Ferguson said without hesitation, he stared at Arthur, "Since you want to play in the midfield, go to the midfield."
Arthur didn't expect the boss to be so decisive.
According to his judgment, Ferguson obviously wants to use him to build the team, but if he can't maintain stability, how can he keep the team stable?
Looking at him like this, Ferguson knew that he was starting to dig into the horns again. He didn't understand what his unique brain was thinking. He just said in a calm tone: "This season we won three consecutive championships and defended the Champions League. If we are lucky enough, we will still be the seven champions. But no matter how strong a team is, there will be ups and downs, prosperity and decline. We don’t have to win so many championships every season, you Ever seen a team that never loses?"
Arthur was silent.
Ferguson could see it.
If Arthur were to play in the frontcourt, he would still want to play in midfield, or "desire" could be used to describe it.
At that time, he will be both happy for him and troubled, because it means adjusting.
That being the case, it might as well be in place at once!
Ferguson said proudly: "Cesc Fabregas, are you not as good as him?"
Arthur immediately raised his head and responded to his gaze: "No, BOSS, I will be better than him."
"Of course you are better than him!" Ferguson snorted, his disciple is of course better than Wenger!
Beckham wondered at this moment what they were here for.
Although the scene in front of them was gratifying, it seemed that nothing happened to them.
Sensing his gaze, Ferguson glanced at Kaka, Lao Si and him and said: "If this kid goes to the midfield, your position may be affected. I hope you are mentally prepared."
If the situation were different, Ferguson would not tell the players directly like this, because it would inevitably cause a wave of hatred for Arthur, but he was extremely relieved of the three in front of him.
Kaka is the core of the future midfielder he bought-originally, but now he is placed in the frontcourt.
Not to mention Beckham, his positioning is a bit complicated, he can be an engineer, he can also serve as a support, and he can also be on top of the organization. He is actually very easy to use and fits very well with Manchester United.
Scholes is Manchester United's current playmaker, and his presence means stability.
If Arthur goes to the midfield, Kaka will continue to play as the attacking midfielder. In theory, the two will not hinder each other.
But Ferguson discussed his future with Kaka. He once persuaded Kaka to retreat. He should have an explanation to the Brazilians instead of vague past.
Beckham and Scholes are much easier to talk about. There is no doubt that they are two bricks, and he can move them as he wants.
Kaka keenly realized that Ferguson was not so much discussing with everyone, but as discussing with him...
He needs to think.
Most of the time this season, he still plays as a midfielder, and occasionally he can play as a shadow forward in a few games, ambush behind Arthur, Rooney or Benzema, playing easily and comfortably.
But you can't just look at the present as a person. His style of play is rarely able to maintain his peak state.Ferguson wanted him to overdevelop into an all-around midfielder and then drop back, which is the way Scholes has gone.
It's good for his career, and the success stories are right in front of his eyes.
But... Scholes was close to 30 when he dropped back.
Ferguson did not intend to let him express his position now, players need to seriously think about their future.
Without giving them a chance to speak, he looked at Arthur again: "Gary is getting older, and his playing time will be reduced next season. Gary once suggested to me that you should be the captain. Can you afford the captain's armband?"
Kaka was shocked, even though he was used to seeing strong winds and waves, he had never seen a head coach like Ferguson——
In front of these team members, is this going to abolish the meritorious captain and directly help Arthur to the top?
But he found that he was wrong, because Gary had already shouted to Arthur impatiently: "Yes, silly boy, I don't like Terry a long time ago!"
"That's right. Why does the national team captain belong to Chelsea?" Scholes said coldly.
Even Beckham, the former captain of the Three Lions, now nods in agreement.
Kaka: "..."
What kind of thinking is this!
At this time, he actually jumped to the national team?
But he can understand.
Ferdinand is England's vice-captain, and he and Terry are not inferior to Terry in terms of qualifications.
In terms of ability, his partner with Vidic is currently the number one central defender partner in football.
In terms of honor, Ferdinand has a Champions League lead.
This makes Ferdinand, how can Manchester United players who have been selected for the national team be convinced by Terry?
Sure enough, England has a glorious tradition of internal strife, not inferior to France, the Netherlands, and Argentina.
"I can, BOSS." Arthur, who was watched by Ferguson, said slowly.
Arthur didn't feel that Ferguson's proposal was "sudden".
Gary has said this many times, and even Beckham has said it many times in front of him.
Will he become a qualified captain?
Arthur had asked himself.
But the education he received since he was a child made him only come to one conclusion: I can.
I will be a qualified captain.
If one day, I have the opportunity to become the captain of the Three Lions, it will be my honor, and I will not refuse such an honor.
Ferguson has been watching him all the time. He should actually be thankful, perhaps because Arthur has been "resisting pressure" since he was born as the heir to the duke with expectations.
He believes he can be a good captain and if he isn't already, he will have time to learn.
In short, this kid is better than Cesc Fabregas in every way, of course he will do better than him!
Ferguson looked at Gary, "Let's talk about your contract renewal tomorrow morning, and I will hold a press conference in the afternoon."
For such a big event, of course there must be a press conference!
Gary: ...
Is this going to give me another year of contract?
Gary was overjoyed!
He knew that Ferguson's words were both a compensation and a hint, but whatever, Gary was still flattered.
Valencia's performance after retreating has made him realize that the competition at right back is more intense, and he may rarely get a starting chance.
A captain who can't start is embarrassing, let alone let Arthur take the lead, what can he say?
Ferguson finally said: "Okay, there are no other questions, you can go back first. By the way, if you have anything you want to discuss with me, you can call me, or you can come to my office directly."
Kaka knew it was what Ferguson told him, he smiled slightly, patted Arthur on the shoulder and left with them.
Scholes glanced at Kaka after leaving the office. He wanted to say something to Kaka, but he didn't.
The future of Brazilians should be determined by themselves.
But Lao Si thought, if Kaka's position does not move, and Anderson wants to grab the starting lineup from the top card of his national team, then the kid is still desperate.
Arthur was held by Gary's neck, and he was about to start the teacher mode, but was slapped away by Beckham.
The heartthrob stared at Gary: "Don't teach him your tricks."
As the former captain of the Three Lions, Beckham felt that he was Arthur's template, not Gary's big mouth!
Gary rolled his eyes at him, but didn't argue with him.
Arthur is Arthur, it can't be him, it can't be Beckham.
Back on the training ground, the teammates who were training immediately looked at them.
I want to know why the BOSS called them over so solemnly.
The heart of gossip, of course everyone has it.
As a result, Gary raised Arthur's arm from a distance and shouted at them: "Look! This is our new captain!"
Carrington, who belongs to Manchester United, exploded.
Carrington, who belongs to Manchester City, heard the noise coming from the opposite side.
Not to mention Benzema's dumbfounded eyes, even Cristiano and Fatty were shocked!
It will be sooner or later, it is inevitable, but they did not expect this "sooner or later" and "inevitable" to come so fast, so early!
Immediately, Cristiano laughed, and the fat man had already run to Arthur and made a fuss about letting Arthur treat him.
At this moment, even Redondo laughed, and the voices shouting for a "treat" gathered together in a uniform manner, wishing to rush into the sky.
Arthur looked at them with a smile and shouted for a while before saying, "I'll treat you."
Just when everyone was about to cheer, he added: "Can tomorrow night be okay? I want to invite everyone to the manor. The chef at the manor is good at cooking."
This is simply a surprise!
They were invited to that "country manor" on Arthur's birthday and Halloween, but they were all part of the banqueted guests that time. This time, their team leader invited them alone, so the meaning is of course different.
For the British in the team, this meaning is even more different.
"Long live the captain!" Anderson yelled!
"Long live the captain!" Rooney glared at him.
"Long live the captain!" Anderson shouted in a timely manner.
There was a smile on the corner of Arthur's mouth, he watched his teammates laughing, it was hard for him to describe how he felt at the moment.
Maybe a little fast, a little sudden, but he will not be afraid, he will work hard to do well.
Cristiano stood beside Benzema and looked at Arthur's eyes, his smile.
I am right.
he thought firmly.
The movement made by Manchester United is too great, because "chicken and dog hear each other", it is difficult for the base next door to ignore them.
Mourinho was standing on the training ground. He was not sure when he started making noise there, but the chanting of "treat" at the back became clearer, and at the end of "Long live the captain", he basically confirmed.
His face was a bit uneasy. He said that Arthur was worthy of starting and more worthy of building a team with him as the core. Ferguson followed Wenger's example and directly made Arthur the team captain?
He thought about Gary.Neville's situation after his serious injury, and thinking about his character, he felt that this was very likely to happen——
That Neville is not Keane!He has the blood of the Red Devils, but he is not as overbearing as Keane. He never wants to be the king of Carrington. He is a gun in Ferguson's hand!
Where to hit which kind!
This game is really not easy to play, he thought as he looked at the players who didn't train so hard after being attracted by the opponent.
He has to talk to Moratti, talk about the summer.
United held a press conference the next day.The media didn't know why, but this press conference obviously had nothing to do with the game, but it was closely related.
This time Ferguson brought Arthur and Gary together, and they first announced Gary's contract extension.
This is a bit premature. Generally speaking, it is only at the beginning of the new season that a contract extension with a meritorious veteran is considered, let alone Gary, and this contract is still "1+1", which is also a bit different from Manchester United in the past.
But everyone was eagerly waiting to ask Arthur, for example, how he felt about receiving the roses from Balotelli.
As a result, Ferguson fired another cold shot——
He announced the appointment of Arthur as Manchester United's second captain.
At this moment, not only the media exploded, but also the fans who had been paying attention after learning that Arthur attended the press conference were all exploded!
"I looked at Gary's starts this season, and it seems that there are only 28 of the 10 rounds in total?"
"Gary's serious injury had a big impact QAQ~"
"Although I feel sorry for Leo, I hope the Sir can accept my knee!"
"18 years old! Captain! Is this the youngest captain in team history?"
"Without a doubt! This should be @fabiocapello!"
"The group honey said that your coach is really capricious. He said that he dismissed the second captain...is that also a meritorious service?"
"Leo has posted a bunch of clapping emojis on Twitter, and posted a photo of the whole team with Arthur. They can't wait to put the captain's armband on Arthur on the training ground 23333~"
"Look at Gary's smile, okay! That cool expression is simply amazing!"
"Because he made money! Although he is still the captain, when he was seriously injured, of course, and more times this season, it was Leo who performed the duties of the captain~~ I feel sorry for Leo, but Leo doesn't need me to feel sorry for him "Dog head"~"
After Ferguson announced this decision, the media saw that he had nothing to say, and raised their hands to ask questions.
Lady Diana, Manchester United's head of news, has handpicked a reporter who works well with him, Lewis of The Times.
Unexpectedly, Lewis did not question Arthur, but pointed the finger at Ferguson.
"May I ask Sir Ferguson, why did you make this decision at this time? Does it mean that you have a long-term plan for Arthur's career?"
Ferguson nodded, "That's right, I have a long-term plan for Arthur, but it was Gary's recommendation for Arthur to become the captain. Ferdinand, Giggs and Vidic all gave me such advice. Yes, our Manchester United team. All four captains think that Arthur can be an excellent captain, and they also believe that responsibility and pressure can make him better."
All the Italian media scoffed, and the British media, such as Liverpool's "Echo" and other local media, also slandered in their hearts.
They think Ferguson is pure nonsense, this is definitely Ferguson's best!
The fourth captain Vidic said nothing, Ferdinand will have no objection?He is equivalent to the captain of Manchester United!And Giggs, doesn't he have an opinion?
Diana then clicked on the reporter from L'Equipe.
"French Football" is a magazine under the "L'Equipe" and has a high degree of credibility in the field of football.
The French reporter asked Arthur after getting up: "How did you get this news? What do you think about it?"
Before this conference was held, Ferguson told Arthur before entering the arena that he would take him to the conference more often in the future, and there would be many opportunities to deal with the media in the future, but he did not need to be under pressure.
He pointed to Gary and made a joke: "Because this is your ex."
Gary laughed immediately, and the future Newen Hao not only was not "ashamed" but also laughed loudly: "That's because my predecessor is Keane, and my predecessor is Cantona. Of course, I like the old captain Robson the most!"
These names, no matter what the reputation is, when they were Manchester United captains, they were the Red Devils, and the Red Devils were them
So what is the Red Devils?Arthur pondered.
Being interviewed at this moment is the first time he has fulfilled his responsibilities, even though he is the "second captain" at this moment.
"I was in the BOSS's office, and I got the news with my teammates." Arthur gently brought the topic, "I was a little surprised at the time, but as the BOSS said, my captain and deputy team have been Teach me how to be a better player, be a player with honor."
"Although the appointment of BOSS is a bit sudden, for me, this appointment is both pressure and motivation. It is a responsibility and an honor. I will work hard to learn how to become a qualified Manchester United captain."
Ferguson and Gary watched Arthur as he spoke.
They were on the left and the right, one of them looked normal, but the eyes behind the lens could let anyone see his love for Arthur and the high hopes he had for him.And the other was smiling all the time, just looking at the pride and pride in his eyes, which made many Italian media complain in their hearts——
Those who didn't know thought you were his father!
Although you're old enough to be his father!
Afterwards, Gary also accepted the question. The future literary giant praised Arthur as unparalleled in the world, which made many Arthur fans shouted on the Internet that he couldn't stand it!
"If this is not love, what is 2333~"
"Gary's son is Arthur Neville, find out!"
"His brother Phil joined in the fun on Twitter to blow Arthur a wave of 2333"
"Phil QAQ! Phil is also one of us, so of course he has the right to speak!"
"Wait! What's the fun with Team Jie!"
"I understand the truth, but I don't understand why Raul and Guti join in the fun. My devil appoints the captain to have something to do with you!"
"Of course it's related ←_←, Arthur is Redondo's disciple, and Redondo is also my team leader, and he played in the Champions League final with the captain's armband on!"
After the press conference, Ferguson patted Arthur on the shoulder with satisfaction, "I heard that you invited your teammates to have dinner at home?"
"Yes, BOSS." Arthur said, he realized something immediately, and apologized: "Sorry, I didn't—"
"Come on." Ferguson waved his hand. "I don't plan to participate. It's enough for these boys to accompany me to dinner twice a year. I don't want to eat with them often."
This made Arthur smile.
He knew Ferguson was referring to the Christmas dinner and the annual internal awards and dinner at the end of the season.
In fact, on Ferguson's birthday, the team members will also gather at his home.
"You saved the team a lot of dinner expenses." Ferguson waved to him and Gary, "Okay, let's go."
"See you tomorrow, BOSS." Arthur said goodbye to Ferguson.
Gary waved to Jazz, and couldn't hide his excitement and asked Arthur about tonight's arrangements.
Ferguson watched them drift away, and then turned to Diana who was always watching with a smile on the side.Ms. Law said, "Am I lucky?"
"It is not by luck that you have come here, ser," said Diana.
This is both a compliment and a fact.
Ferguson shook his head, "This is indeed my luck. I have met many good players during these years of coaching."
Ferguson went to the museum. Although it was closed time, any corner of Old Trafford, at any time, would open the door for him.
He stood in the museum, looking at the trophies on display, looking at those photos, he was looking at his time.
Today, he gets all the accolades a Premier League manager can get.
In 03, he wanted to retire, but his wife Kathy convinced him.
His wife understood him so well, she said with blood: "You will not retire, I know you, you are not satisfied. You are not the best in the history of Manchester United, you have not let everyone mention Manchester United. think of you."
This left him speechless, because when he asked himself, he was indeed unwilling.
In his position, he didn't need to compare himself with others, but what about Sir Busby?
He wants to surpass Busby, he wants to become the best in Manchester United history, not just a comparison of the number of championships, because what Busby has, he also has.
But Busby produced three Mr. Golden Globes.
he……
He did not.
Beckham used to be the closest one, the one he expected the most from.
But in the end the master and apprentice turned against each other, and he sent him away.
He bought Cristiano.Ronaldo, he gave him the number 7 jersey, he expected a lot from him.
As a result, because of his heart problem, the Portuguese curly sat on the bench for more than half a year in Manchester United's first season, but his performance was still outstanding.
Every year that followed, he got better and Manchester United ushered in another revival.
Cristiano achieved his "zero breakthrough" this year.
Even though he still decides to leave, what the hell, he still loves him!Because this kid chose to stay for a year, allowing him to keep this fruit of victory.
and then?
What did Kaka say when he was elected World Footballer of the Year?
"If you want one, God will give you ten."
Ferguson laughed, what God gave him was beyond his imagination.
On March 3, the second round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, the Dream Theater was packed.
The staff in the media area quickly noticed the difference at Old Trafford today -
Today's home broadcast is not "Road to Homecoming", but "Flying Wings".The Manchester United fans who have always been despised by other Premier League teams for being too "quiet" sang in unison, and the singing of the whole audience was one piece.
The Italian media found that today's away game is obviously not easy to play. The only thing that can make them feel relieved is that Arthur, who was just appointed by Ferguson as the second captain, is not in the starting list.
The legendary BBC commentator Guy.Mowbray said playfully: "According to the roster we just announced, although Ferguson regards Arthur as the future, he still put Arthur on the bench today, but it is understandable. We can also It was found that at the right back position, Valencia, who performed well in the last league game, did not get the chance to start. Gary Neville was able to start, and Manchester United's captain's armband is still on his right arm today."
At this time, on the field, the home commentator was announcing the rosters of both sides, and the Red Devils generously sent all the boos to the visiting team, and for the players of the home team, every appearance got their voices.
Home commentator Garnard put Gary last, and he wanted Gary to know that he was still the best captain in their hearts whenever he was on the pitch.
He was as important as Keane, Cantona, and his old captain Robson.
He is part of the Red Devils!
In the thunderous applause of the audience, Gary raised his hands and applauded, then patted the team badge on his chest and proudly swore loyalty.
Arthur sat beside Kaka very quietly, and they watched this scene.
The lineup Ferguson sent today is 433.
The starting goalkeeper is of course Edwin van der Sar.The defense from left to right is Evra, Ferdinand and Vidic, and the right back is Gary.Neville.
Midfielder Scholes partnered Carrick and Park Ji-sung.
Park Ji-sung has had few chances to play recently, but Arthur is sure that BOSS trusts the Koreans' defensive ability very much, and he was sent on the field today to deal with Cambiasso.
The front three are of course Cristiano, Benzema and Rooney.
Mourinho did not change the lineup today, and it is undoubtedly good news that the defender Samuel is recovering from injury.
But as Mourinho guessed, Ferguson would not play beautiful football at home. Although he boasted that he would double kill Inter Milan, even though he sent a 433 lineup, he was not in a hurry, the fence was tight, and There are two big killers sitting on the bench.
But no matter how difficult it is, the ball still has to be kicked, and Mourinho can only give it a go!
Inter Milan played significantly better today than last time. Balotelli, who started the game, appeared on the right side. He was very active. If Evra hadn't worked hard and focused on defense from the beginning of the game, he might have been beaten after the game. Van der Sar scolded like a dog.
"Balotelli is very excited today." Kaka said, he did not expect his performance today to be so much better than the previous game.
Arthur was silent.
Kaka was a little surprised that he didn't answer, "Arthur?"
Arthur whispered: "Mario wants to beat Chris."
This made Kaka immediately think of the "big words" that Super Mario made when he was a guest at home last time.
Before, Kaka could be viewed as the dream of young people, but now it seems that this little guy really wants to perform.
He said with emotion: "No wonder Chris worked so hard today."
Inter Milan started fiercely at the beginning, and their top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic was also more active than last time.
He got an excellent opportunity in the 4th minute, but the combination of Vidic and Ferdinand, the most stable central defender in world football, became a wall of sighs in front of him. Vidic successfully resolved his shot.
Ibrahimovic was a bit disappointed, but they didn't give up yet, and they ushered in another great opportunity in the 12th minute.
Zanetti slanted Stankovic, and Stankovic was also more active than in the previous game. When there was always Park Ji-sung by Cambiasso's side, he stood up and organized the attack.
Stankovic distributed the ball to the left. Balotelli did not take the ball and then fight with Evra after receiving the ball. Instead, he passed the ball to Ibrahimovic who came up from the point difference.
Ibrahimovic received a cross from Balotelli, broke through Carrick and broke into the penalty area to hit the goal.
This attack was simple and efficient, Ibrahimovic did not deliberately pursue a better angle, and only hit a surprise, but Van der Sar's save was very timely and successfully resolved the Swede's shot.
Van der Sar immediately throws the ball and finds Scholes. At this time, Manchester United's front trident has already run desperately, and has already passed halftime!
Scholes caught the ball in the backcourt and glanced at the frontcourt, followed by a long pass!
It can be seen from the live footage that this long pass is amazingly accurate!
The ball fell directly in front of Cristiano across the half court. The Portuguese ran forward just one step before protecting the ball to his feet, and then broke through the young player Thornton who played well on the left side of the penalty area.
Don't think you can prevent him this time!
With this 1-on-1 breakthrough, Thornton was powerless against the Portuguese.
After breaking through Thornton, Cristiano knocked the ball across to Rooney on the left. Rooney and Benzema played a wall collision and then passed the ball back to the Portuguese who had cut in along the baseline.
Cristiano didn't have any hesitation——
"Shoot! Cristiano!!!" Manchester United's famous commentator Paddy.Cleland shouted loudly, which caused the fans in the audience to move.
The whole of Old Trafford is like a volcano erupting suddenly, with magma splashing out.
Andy.Gray made the final decision: "The total score is 5:1, which is a 4-goal lead! Of course, Mourinho and his team still have nearly 80 minutes to change."
The Portuguese in the shot looked stern, and the next second the shot was on Capello.
Capello came to watch the game in person. He was obviously inspecting the state of Manchester United players and preparing for the warm-up match in April.
In the end, the camera focused on Arthur who sat on the bench and applauded the male god scoring a goal.
Will Ferguson still use Arthur in the second half?
of course not!
Ferguson put Arthur and Kaka firmly on the bench and put them in the end.
Although Balotelli scored a goal for Inter Milan and saved a little face, it did not affect the overall situation.
In the end, Manchester United defeated Inter Milan with a total score of 6:2.
"Congratulations, Fergie." Mourinho very gracefully hugged Ferguson immediately after the game to congratulate him.
"You're not bad, I assure you, Jose, we'll be champions." Ferguson winked at him.
Mourinho didn't sneer back, but instead showed a meaningful smile: "Say what you say."
If it is to lose to this year's Champions League champion, it is not so unacceptable.
"I prepared a bottle of good wine for you, are you still in the mood to drink it?" Ferguson asked with a smile.
"What do you think? You took away a bottle of Treasure from me last time! It was given to me by Abramovich, and I haven't drunk it!" Mourinho countered.
The interaction between the two managers set the tone for the aftermath of the game.
Arthur found his friend Mario immediately after the game to comfort him, "That was a beautiful goal, Mario."
Balotelli pouted, "Cristiano scored twice."
He didn't get over that curly hair.
"But you performed very well. We will have a chance to play against each other in the future. At that time, you must have improved again." Arthur changed the subject when he said this: "You said that apple rose pie was delicious, I I brought you a bottle of rose jam today."
"Really?" Balotelli, who was still languid just now, was shocked immediately, "Mom will definitely like it!"
"Then I'll be very happy and I'll send it to you when you get back to Italy."
"Will it be troublesome?"
"No. Apart from giving away to others, many of the roses in the manor have been made into rose sauce and stored in the cellar. There are so many..."
Cambiasso stood not near or far away, and he could hear clearly, he was extremely unpredictable.
Are young people today like this?Or are the wonderful things on both sides getting together?
But it is undeniable that Manchester United's little golden retriever is indeed a good baby.
After this game, the quarterfinals of the Champions League have also been released!
What shocked the entire football world was that among the top eight of the Champions League, the top four of the Premier League gathered again!
Manchester United beat Inter Milan 6:2.
Chelsea eliminated Juventus 3:2.
Liverpool beat Real Madrid 5-0 on aggregate.
Arsenal and Roma fought until overtime and had no choice but to decide the winner in a penalty shootout.
It was not until the eighth round of the penalty shootout that Arsenal eliminated Roma with a total score of 7:6.
So far, all three Serie A teams have been eliminated by the Premier League team!
Apart from the semi-finals of the Premier League, the other four advanced teams are La Liga's Barcelona and Villarreal, Portugal's giants Porto, and German giants Bayern Munich.
After this battle in Serie A, there was not even a single seedling left, which also made the media lament the decline of Serie A.
Although Inter Milan and Juventus were eliminated, the focus of criticism by the media was still Real Madrid.
首回合在主场1:0落败后,次回合皇马在安菲尔德输了一个0:4,再次无缘欧冠8强,而这也已经是皇马连续5个赛季没有晋级8强!
Florentino once again stood up to express his disappointment with the team and how he would make changes if he was elected chairman.
In the absence of an opponent, Florentino will undoubtedly be re-elected as Real Madrid president.
After the match against Inter Milan, Ferguson was more interested in the upcoming league than showing off his record of double-killing old enemies.
Ferguson said: "I don't pay attention to the draw now, I only pay attention to one game now, and I only care about one result-double defeat Liverpool!"
That day was their home field.
Ferguson decided to give their fans a carnival at home on that day!
The author has something to say: *Recently long-lost small theater*
"Have you read Balotelli's Twitter?The rose stalk is hard to pass! "
Just upload the screenshot: [Balotelli: I received rose sauce from my best friend in the UK, a lot!It reminds me of his rose pie, which my mother didn't taste as good as. .jpg]
[Eight bottles of rose sauce standing in a row.jpg]
You said it cute!Did those roses end up being made into rose jam?
№0: LZ also wants to eat the little angel’s apple rose pie QAQ
№1: Sofa!
№2: LZ, you should give up, there is no rose sauce, no matter how greedy you are, you can only think about it for comfort.But you are not alone, we are with you o(╥﹏╥)o!
№3: Heck, am I the only one wondering what happened to Luther's rose?
№4: The Cather Party shouted: Must be eaten!
