Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 299 He who travels a hundred miles is half ninety
At Old Trafford, the cheers were like a gale, sweeping every corner of the stadium.

When Manchester United fans were ready to give up, a miracle finally happened at the Theatre of Dreams.

After scoring the goal, Chu Feng ran to the corner area and raised his fist high towards the south stand. At this moment, he felt an electric current surging through his body, and every cell was beating wildly.

How valuable is this goal?

It means that Manchester United has overtaken Manchester City by 1 point, which will determine the ownership of the Premier League championship!

It is no exaggeration to describe it as priceless.

But what excited Chu Feng the most was that everyone did not give up hope easily in that situation, but persisted until the last minute.

As the camera moves back.

At one end of the picture is Chu Feng surrounded by his teammates. He looked up at the eternal figure and suddenly had an inexplicable feeling.

That is Sir Alex Ferguson, who has accompanied the Red Devils through all the ups and downs, and seems to have been watching them silently from a distance.

At the other end of the picture is a bronze statue of Busby, with his right hand on his waist, holding the ball in his left hand, and staring ahead.

As if silently praying for the future of the Red Devils.

I wonder if Sir Matt Busby saw his younger self in heaven.

"Manchester United took the lead again and they completely killed the game!"

"This is the Red Devils spirit of rebirth from the ashes in desperate situations. It has been driving Manchester United forward for many years, writing and performing the magnificent Red Devils epic!"

"I'm delighted to see the new generation of Manchester United players inheriting and carrying forward that spirit."

Neville has a nickname in the commentary world - Neville the Great.

Carragher next to him spoke with a thick Liverpool accent: "There are still two minutes left before the end of the game. Maybe a miracle will happen. Let's believe in Manchester City!"

"Miracle? When you see the expressions on the faces of Manchester City players, you should understand what they chose!" Neville stood up and retorted condescendingly.

“In the pre-match interview, I asked Chu what the key factor in determining victory or defeat was?”

“He responded by asking: Do the players care enough that they are playing for their club?”

Neville ignored Carragher, who was livid, and pointed at the LED screen on the scoreboard stand and shouted: "Everyone can watch the replay and see the change in the mentality of Manchester United players when Luke Shaw scored an own goal."

"At the time, I noticed they didn't communicate much and thought they were going to give up the game, but then I remembered the 1999 Champions League final.

"Sir Alex Ferguson, Gunnar, Phil and I all focused on attacking, so there was no need for anyone to encourage anyone else!"

No matter how many years have passed, Neville can't help but feel his blood boiling whenever he thinks of that experience.

The Munich air crash, Busby's children, the golden generation of 92. Manchester United has many spiritual treasures that belong to them alone, and it is those rough experiences that gave birth to the Red Devils spirit.

Behind the wildly celebrating Manchester United players are the Manchester City players who are surrounded by desolation.

De Bruyne sighed silently.

He sensed something was wrong when Manchester City retreated to defend. Manchester City's lineup tended to pass and control the ball, and was not good at parking the bus.

Moreover, the average height of the players is not as good as that of Manchester United, so they are naturally at a disadvantage when competing for high balls.

The physical strength of the two wingers has seriously declined due to frequent attacks.

In just less than seven minutes, how many crosses did Manchester United send?

If there are no four legs, there are three legs.

What’s even more terrifying is that Manchester United still managed to grab some points, but even so Manchester City has not changed its strategy.

If they had continued to attack Manchester United and contained the threat outside the final third, the result would have been completely different.

This was a complete tactical failure.

But then again, as long as we can maintain the draw, we can keep the championship.

Anyone would choose defense.

De Bruyne didn't know the answer, so he just stood there in silence.

It wasn't that he didn't want to say something encouraging.

It’s just that I’m an introvert by nature and I just can’t say what’s in my heart.

Finally, David Silva stood up and pointed to the scoreboard screen in the stands: "Everyone has a dream, but not everyone can achieve their dream."

“Moreover, in fact, most people cannot achieve their dreams, no matter those who have already achieved their dreams or those who have worked hard to reach the door of their dreams, they may fall at the door of their dreams.”

“But they all tried their best.”

"No matter what the final result is, there are only a few minutes left. I hope everyone will not leave any regrets in their lives."

David Silva knows the chances are slim, but compared to the outcome of the game, he hopes that Manchester City players will not give up, just like their opponents Manchester United.

Because professional players have to play hundreds or thousands of games in their lifetime, it is impossible for every game to go smoothly. The prerequisite for creating miracles is to never give up.

"come on!!!"

Kyle Walker roared hysterically.

He was fed up with losing to Manchester United every time and he didn't want to be ridiculed by others anymore.

The game starts again.

Manchester City did not give up and attacked Manchester United frantically.

They launched an attack with all their might, and were no less powerful than Manchester United before.

But what are Manchester United famous for?
High emotional intelligence: defensive counterattack!

Low EQ: Parking the bus!

When the physical fitness of both sides seriously declines, the effect of dense defense will increase, and it will be difficult for Manchester City's offense to penetrate.

So began the long shots, crosses, and headers.
De Gea and Maguire turned into gods of war and used their solid defense to resolve Manchester City's offensive.

At the court at this moment.

Guardiola sat in the coaching booth, his gray beard trembling slightly. He knew that with Mourinho's character, he would never give him any more chances.

Back then, when Barcelona was at its strongest, Inter Milan could always park the bus and defend.

What's more, what about now?

Guardiola was thinking about the reasons for the loss. In fact, Manchester City players had done their best and perfectly executed the tactics arranged before the game. There were not many problems with their individual performances.

"Boss, I won't accept this."

Arteta choked up a little.

As an assistant coach of Manchester City, he knows how much effort everyone has put in for the league championship.

And those who work hard should not be let down.

"We have done everything we can, but fate was not on our side tonight. But maybe the luck will change next time."

Guardiola said meaningfully.

The other side of joy must be sadness, but there is no need to be too depressed. Since you have done everything you can, the future will definitely be bright.

Mourinho was standing in the command area next door, his hands in his pockets shaking constantly.

He has coached 978 games, with a win rate of 63.68%. There have been many comebacks, but none like today. "We're playing Chelsea in three days, right?"

Mourinho tried his best to suppress his excitement and asked in a trembling voice.

Faria was still immersed in ecstasy. He was stunned for a moment when he heard the words: "Ah? Oh, it's playing against Chelsea, and then it's the Champions League semi-finals. We will play Liverpool at home first."

Everyone knows that Mourinho is very professional and has memorized the schedule long ago. How could he forget it at the last minute?
Faria speculated secretly: "I didn't expect that the boss would become more coquettish as he got older. If it was the boss from ten years ago, he would definitely be running around the stadium."

at the same time.

Chu Feng grabbed Manchester City's corner kick and headed the ball out of the penalty area.

Beep-beep-beep!
With the shrill whistle, the game came to an end!
Wow! ! !
Old Trafford was in complete chaos, with loud cheers reaching the sky and the three sides of the stands looking like a sea of ​​red.

Manchester United fans excitedly high-fived and hugged each other, even though they were strangers they had never met before.

This game is undoubtedly ranked among the top three in Manchester United's history.

Perhaps only the 1999 Champions League final can surpass today's inconceivable aspects.

"Glory to Manchester United!"

“Manchester is red!”

"We are going strong in the Premier League and there is no rival to compete with us!"

"."

Listening to the roar of Manchester United fans, Chu Feng lay back on the grass, feeling the slight coolness on his back, and finally he was able to relax his body and mind.

tired!
After the adrenaline faded, endless fatigue instantly came over me.

"we are the champion!!!"

Herrera stood nearby, dancing.

"Hey, there are still three rounds left in the league, don't open the champagne at halftime!"

Chu Feng lightly kicked Political Commissar Ai.

Compared to Manchester United in the last three rounds, Manchester City's opponents are weaker, so they must not relax.

After going through so much trouble to defeat Manchester City, if they lost to other teams and let Manchester City perform another "9230" miracle, Chu Feng really wouldn't be able to accept it.

When his teammates were almost done celebrating, Chu Feng called everyone to his side and began to persuade them earnestly: "We are only one point behind Manchester City, which means there are three games left. If we draw or lose one game, the championship will slip away!"

"There is a saying in my hometown, 'A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step', which means that if you walk ninety miles out of a hundred miles, you are only halfway there."

"So, guys, we have to work harder and not give Manchester City and Liverpool any chances!"

“Maybe you all feel very tired, but if you want to be the champion, you are not allowed to complain about being tired. Besides, the championship does not belong to us yet!”

Chu Feng has learned a lot from Mourinho, so what he said is well-founded.

The overly excited Manchester United players calmed down one after another.

Political Commissar E also echoed: "Chu is right. Often, a thing becomes more difficult towards the end, so we must take it more seriously!"

"Let's go and thank the fans. Without their support, it would be difficult for us to persevere." Chu Feng didn't seem to be too disappointed and said to his teammates with a smile.

Of course we should celebrate, but we can't get too carried away.

What he said just now was just a reminder to his teammates.

When he and his teammates came to the diehard fans' stand, Manchester United fans responded with warm applause and called out the players' names one after another.

"Dad seems really sad. We are still in the Manchester United stands. Isn't that a bit too much?"

Valentina still has a conscience after all.

"But it was really fun in the Manchester United fan zone. Watching Chu score goals one after another and shouting his name with everyone, that feeling was something you didn't get in the Manchester City fan zone."

Marius was a little hesitant when he heard this, but he still chose to respect his heart. At the end, he looked at Maria and said, "Sister, what do you think?"

Maria looked at the Manchester City coaching bench, thought for a moment and said, "Let's go and comfort Dad first. I think he needs us now."

No matter how leaky a cotton-padded jacket is, it is still a cotton-padded jacket.

Guardiola stayed up all night countless times for this game, studying tactics all the time and even drinking coffee instead of water.

Maria usually sees it all.

Sometimes she also asked herself, who does she hope will win the game?
The answer is I don't know.

At the other end of the field, Manchester City players looked depressed. They were only one step away from the championship, but they failed to cross it no matter how hard they tried.

In fact, through several matches this season, although Manchester City failed to beat Manchester United, the results of the game were getting closer and closer.

Today, they see the hope of victory, and it is even within reach.

But it was still shattered by Chu Feng.

The depression reaches deep into their souls and they even begin to deny themselves.

Guardiola slowly walked up to the players and comforted them in a relaxed tone: "You are very sad, many people are sad, including me."

"But every competition and every league is like a day in life. When the day ends, some people will be happy and some will be sad. But no matter what, whether you are happy or sad, tomorrow will still come."

“It turns out that we are not perfect enough, so let’s try our best to become perfect.”

"Since we have tried our best, there is nothing to regret."

"Keep going, let's do it together."

Guardiola patted the shoulders of the Manchester City players one by one, and led them away after everyone stood up.

De Bruyne looked at Chu Feng deeply again.

As the game came to an end, Mourinho affirmed Manchester City in the post-match press conference.

"They are a very good team and caused us a lot of problems, which was proven by the difficult process of the game."

"It is precisely because of the existence of such opponents that we can become stronger."

"Let's talk about Manchester United. At the beginning of the season, our performance was not good. Because Chu was suspended for three games, we lost games that we shouldn't have lost. At that time, many people thought we didn't have the strength to compete for the championship.

“But as time went by, we gradually grew from seventh in the standings to first!”

"Please don't call me arrogant later, because I want to tell you that Manchester United has the best coaches and players in the world!"

No reporter in the conference room spoke out to refute. Although they didn't like Mourinho, who could blame him for saying that what he said was true?

As for Guardiola, he put it simply.

"From the first second to the last second of the game, a total of more than two hours, will become an eternal spiritual treasure in our memory."

"We will remember today's defeat."

"Finally, the league is not over yet and Manchester City will not give up."

After the press conference, news about the game swept across major sports platforms.

After all, such an ups and downs process is a feast for the eyes for the fans.
-
[Guardiola made a mistake in the final decision. If he had occupied the midfield and continued to pass the ball, Manchester United might not have been able to snatch the ball with their physical strength.]
-
[From a God's perspective, this is certainly true, but making accurate on-the-spot judgments requires a high level of psychology and thinking.]
-
[Right-wing assault, high-altitude bombing, high-position pressure, Mourinho's tactics are very targeted. I think Manchester City's loss is not unfair. ]
-
[Manchester City's lineup will only be truly perfect if they buy a defensive midfielder and a left back next season.]
-
[Let’s wait for the league in three days. I think there are still variables. Chelsea hates Mourinho so much, so they must do their best to stop Manchester United? ]
