Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 309 We must retain our strength to conquer Anfield!
Manchester did not remain silent because of Manchester United's defeat.

On the contrary, another Champions League semi-final is being held at the Etihad Stadium.

Guardiola and Ten Hag stood on the sidelines.

The two bald men are also a beautiful sight.

It reminds me of a nursery rhyme.

"Who is good with whom? The vine and the melon are good. They hold hands and don't quarrel or make a fuss."

But unlike Manchester United's match against Liverpool, Manchester City had an absolute advantage in the game.

Less than seven minutes into the game, De Bruyne made a fatal pass, creating a one-on-one opportunity for Aguero.

Facing Onana, who had a big and round butt, Aguero faked a shot and dribbled to create space, then easily scored a goal by pushing the ball into the empty goal, helping Manchester City gain the lead.

The Manchester City commentator in the commentary booth taunted him at this moment: "Oh, look at Onana's snail-like speed of getting off the ground. I think he needs to get the fat off his butt!"

"Today, we will not follow the example of Manchester United next door. We must win without any suspense!"

Manchester City fans waved their arms excitedly amid the loud cheers from Etihad.

Manchester City fell to Liverpool last season.

The exaggerated 5-1 score in the two rounds became a pain in the hearts of Manchester City fans.

They want revenge on Liverpool all the time.

As for Manchester United?

Although Manchester United lost to Liverpool in the first round, no one would doubt their strength.

Manchester City fans genuinely don't want to face Manchester United.

After all, looking at the past records of the two teams, Manchester United seems to have become Manchester City's nemesis. Even if Manchester City has a bigger advantage, it is still a little short of defeating Manchester United.

You should know that Manchester City has never won the Champions League since its establishment.

So let’s seek revenge on Manchester United next season.

Manchester City fans silently cheered for Liverpool, hoping that they could beat Manchester United at home and successfully advance to the Champions League final in early June.

What are Manchester United fans doing at this time?
They were gathered in a theme bar, staring dully at the TV screen.

"How could we lose 1:3 to Liverpool? I just can't understand it! In our previous match against Liverpool, although we were suppressed most of the time, our counterattacks always achieved good results. But in yesterday's game, all I saw was Liverpool's crazy attack."

A young Manchester United fan took a sip of beer in frustration.

The elderly man who was wiping cups at the bar did not continue to doze off with his eyes squinting, but instead found the remote control and switched to the game video.

Young Manchester United fans are angry but dare not speak out.

Because the old man sitting opposite him was named Mike, the leader of a Manchester United diehard fan organization, and had been supporting Manchester United with his parents since he was five years old.

The buttons on the remote control seemed a little slow, so Old Mike pressed them a few more times, and the screen switched to another game.

2018年5月27日，晚上8点45分。

The two games, spanning 19 years, are similar in some ways because they both feature miraculous reversals.

Old Mike lay in the rocking chair and nodded with satisfaction.

Then I enjoyed the game.

Fifty-six years have passed since he became a Manchester United fan.

He experienced the red empire established by Ferguson, and also saw Sir Ferguson leave Manchester United, which marked the beginning of the Red Devils' fall from the altar.

He thought Manchester United would remain silent, after all, changing so many coaches was useless.

But who would have thought that after Mourinho took office, he brought three trophies to Manchester United. Although they were only the "small treble" such as the Europa League, for Manchester United, which had been in a slump for a long time, it still made Manchester United fans celebrate for many days.

However, to his surprise, this was just the beginning of a beautiful dream.

Finally, someone inherited the No. 7 jersey that symbolizes honor, and broke the curse attached to the No. 7 jersey. He broke the Premier League goal record to prove that he has the ability and qualifications to wear that legendary jersey.

If it had ended there, Mike wouldn't have been too excited.

He suddenly recalled last season's Champions League final.

Facing the luxurious Galacticos, no one believed that Manchester United could win, because the gap between the two sides on paper was enough to shatter all fantasies.

But the result was still unexpected.

The new Manchester United No. 7 seems to have magical powers, and he led Manchester United to complete an impossible reversal.

Every Manchester United player gave their all in that game.

Goal, comeback, goal, comeback
Old Mike was sitting in this bar at the time. Before he could get over the joy of the previous goal, he felt a second wave of even stronger joy.

That feeling was deeply engraved in his heart.

When Chu Feng scored the last penalty kick, the bar exploded like a bomb and he could no longer hear his own cheers.

All he could hear was the accumulated emotions of the people around him that had been venting for 120 minutes. All the emotions burst through the roof at that moment, and the ground beneath his feet seemed to be shaking.

In the end, Manchester United won the Champions League title after a decade.

Old Mike witnessed the miraculous reversal in 1999, and he estimated that he would never have the same experience in his lifetime.

but.

The middle-aged uncle who was "crying up his face" back then has become an elderly man with "tears in his eyes".

"Young man, be patient. The road to glory is always very painful."

“So what if I don’t win the championship in the end?”

"As fans, staying with the team and showing our support is the only thing we can do and the only thing we can do well."

Old Mike's dull voice sounded, making the bar a little quieter.

The young Manchester United fan sat for a while, then got up and left the bar, and it was unknown where he went in the end.

And now in the corner of the bar.

Chu Feng sat in the booth and took a sip of orange juice.

Mourinho gave everyone a day off.

He did not stay at home to rest, nor did he go to the base for training.

Instead, I wandered around Manchester.

Thoughts kept churning in my mind.

Manchester is very quiet in the early morning. Unlike the lively atmosphere of the stadium, it is easy for people to calm down and think.

He drove to Old Trafford, passed through the gate he often passed, and his eyes fell on the stopped clock and the statues of Busby, Ferguson and others, with many scarves with the Manchester United logo hung on them.

Chu Feng was not too sad, after all, he had never experienced it personally.

Passing by the park near Old Trafford.

Chu Feng saw a group of children, most of them wearing red Manchester United jerseys.

They shouted and fought over the football, and when someone kicked the ball into a goal made of a can, the child would jump up and punch the air.

Seeing this scene, Chu Feng raised the corners of his mouth and smiled softly.

He somehow recalled his childhood.

At that time, the domestic football environment was not very good, and there were not many available stadiums, so they used school bags, bottles and other usable objects as goals.

Chu Feng remembered that group of kids who often played football, and he seemed to be the only one who became a professional football player.

He is grateful to his parents for supporting his dream.

After he really started training systematically, he always felt that he was not as happy as he had imagined, so when that incident happened later, he gave up football completely.

Thinking about it now, it was indeed very naive.

Chu Feng thought Mourinho said something very well.

"Pressure? What is pressure? Pressure is when poor people worry about feeding their families. There is no pressure in football!"

When he occasionally becomes hypocritical, he will use this sentence to remind himself. Strive to win the game, let the family live a good life, and enjoy the joy brought by football.
If you treat the game as a burden, how can you play football well?
Chu Feng had been a bit too picky before.

Maybe it's just like Mourinho said, this group of young people are having too easy time.

Chu Feng parked the car nearby and muttered to himself, "It should be noon in China now."

Thinking of this, he called home.

Beep-beep-beep

"Hey, son, don't think too much about yesterday's game. Losing is normal, and you haven't been eliminated yet!"

"Also, I probably won't be able to go to the competition this weekend because I have to supervise the final exam."

Yan Lanxia's voice came through the microphone.

She knew her son was a stubborn person, so she was worried that he would be troubled by failure.

"Mom, I'm fine. It's just a game. Just win it back."

Chu Feng said with a wry smile.

Before he could even say a word, his mother came up with a bunch of questions.

"Son, I will take a leave of absence and go to the scene to cheer you on. I have recently thought seriously about the shortcomings of the 433 formation and am thinking about discussing it with my in-laws."

Hearing Chu Changzheng's loud voice, Chu Feng couldn't help but hold the phone away.

But he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "With your half-baked, no, not even half-baked level, I think Guardiola would fall asleep listening to you."

We chatted for half an hour without realizing it.

After Chu Feng hung up the phone, he found that the group of children had not left yet.

So he got out of the car and walked over.

"Can you add one? I'm not very good at kicking."

The group of children wanted to refuse, but when they looked up, they all froze in place.

Who can understand the feeling when your idol appears in front of you?

"Chu!!!"

The screams echoed in the park, and Chu Feng was surrounded in an instant.

"I'm your loyal fan, can you give me an autograph?"

"I also want!"

"Mike said that if he wanted to study and not play football, it would definitely be the biggest regret in his life!"

"."

Listening to the voices of the little fans, Chu Feng couldn't stop smiling.

It feels so good to be admired by others!
When he got off the bus, he brought a marker with him and left autographs for each little fan. He then took a photo with the little ones and taught them some basic skills.

Before leaving.

The children raised their heads and asked excitedly: "In the Champions League semi-final next Wednesday, we will all cheer for you at home. You can lead Manchester United to victory, right?"

"Of course! Don't you believe me?" Chu Feng replied with a smile.

The kids shouted in unison: "Of course we believe you, you are the best, come on, beat Liverpool and then beat Manchester City in the final, so we can show off in school!"

Chu Feng turned his back and waved.

Wow! ! !
A burst of cheers suddenly rang out in the bar, pulling Chu Feng back from his memories. He couldn't help but look up at the TV screen.

It turned out to be the first time Manchester United equalized the score.

Now, when Chu Feng thinks back to this game, he still feels incredible. They really overturned the Galaxy Battleship.

In that case, set a new record.

How is it impossible?
Chu Feng pulled his cap down, walked up to Old Mike, and whispered, "I'll pay for tonight's consumption. Thank you very much for your support."

Old Mike's sleepy eyes suddenly widened, and he became more alert: "How can I let you pay?"

"As a player, I can give back to the fans not only with championships and honors, but also with a glass of beer."

Chu Feng took out his bank card.

When he noticed that Old Mike had opened his mouth, he quickly waved his hand and whispered, "Don't tell anyone, or I probably won't be able to leave the bar. We have to go to West Yorkshire the day after tomorrow, and the last two rounds of the league will decide the Premier League champion."

Old Mike was silent for a moment, then he swiped his bank card.

Finally, he suddenly remembered something and took out a Manchester United jersey. "My grandson admires you the most. He was doing his homework at noon today, but he suddenly burst into tears and said he missed the chance to play football with you. Can you leave him an autograph?"

Chu Feng smiled and nodded, then looked around carefully and found that no one was paying attention to him.

Then he signed the jersey.

As soon as he drove away, the bar instantly became lively.
-
2019 5 Month 5 Day.

John Smith's Stadium, Premier League round 37.

Huddersfield vs Manchester United!

Dense small raindrops fell from the sky, dripping onto the grass.

Visiting team locker room.

"Chu, I heard you went to play football with some kids." Rashford joked, "Why? If you want to bully the weak ones, why don't you just go find Harry?"

Maguire responded angrily: "Get lost, am I bad?"

Mahrez also added: "Look at Van Dijk, organizing defense, intercepting and stealing, and attacking. That's really good!"

"If you say that, look at Chu. Breakthrough, organization, header, fulcrum. If you can be 80% of Chu's level, we would have won the championship in advance!"

Maguire has been practicing his talking skills well recently and is no longer as clumsy as before.

"It's just a joke, no one should be angry!"

Chu Feng interrupted the bickering of several people, "Remember the League Cup last season? We lost to Huddersfield in the end. I don't want to put too much pressure on you, but you must remember that the opponent is not weak."

"There are only two rounds left to win the Premier League title. Manchester City is only one point behind us, and Liverpool is only three points behind us. They are all waiting for us to lose."

Chu Feng didn't mean to pour cold water on you.

But the more critical the moment, the calmer you need to be.

Because Manchester United had no chance to make mistakes.

"Chu, don't worry. I passed by Etihad the day before yesterday and found that Manchester City fans were celebrating. They were not celebrating Manchester City's victory over Ajax, but celebrating our loss to Liverpool. Some even said that we lost the league championship."

As a product of the Red Devils, McTominay will naturally feel uncomfortable.

"Yes, many people expect us to make a wrong move, but I hope that after today's game, we can use the result to make those people put the champagne back in the refrigerator!"

Chu Feng stood up suddenly.

Those people wanted to make fun of Manchester United, and Chu Feng wanted to slap them in the face.

Now Manchester United has become the public enemy of the Premier League.

No one wanted them to win except Manchester United fans, including their opponents Huddersfield.

Huddersfield players want to stop Manchester United.

There is no past grudge or hatred, I just don't want to see Manchester United win the championship.

Moreover, if they can kick Manchester United off the throne, they will gain a great sense of accomplishment.

Destruction is an inherent desire of human beings.

After all the preparations were completed, Mourinho stood in the middle of the locker room.

"The second leg of the Champions League semi-final will be in three days, so don't waste too much time today and attack hard from the start to kill the suspense of the game."

"We have to save our strength to conquer Anfield!"
