Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 314 Anfield Miracle Night (No game, transition chapter)

"The game is over, and the Champions League semi-final is over!"

"Manchester United played an epic game against the powerful Real Madrid last season!"

"Now, despite being 1:3 behind at home in the first leg, they set a new record at Anfield, scoring three goals away from home against Liverpool to advance!"

"This is also the second time that Manchester United has advanced to the Champions League final for two consecutive years!"

"The last time was in the 2007-08 and 2008-09 seasons, when Manchester United faced Chelsea and Barcelona respectively."

"Everyone knows the result of the game. Manchester United won the first game and lost the second game."

"Sometimes I can't help but doubt the reality of the world, because the way Manchester United beat Chelsea was the same as the way Manchester United beat Real Madrid last season. The result was so clever that it was hard to believe."

"Terry slipped and missed the penalty, and Toni Kroos's penalty was saved."

"As for the 0:2 loss to Barcelona the following year"

Neville said, shaking his head.

He didn't even want to recall that game, as Messi actually scored a header against them.

You have to know how many headers Messi has scored in his career so far - 24.

Manchester United became a victim.

If the original story had developed, would Manchester United still lose the Champions League final?
Neville quickly changed the subject: "On June 6, 2 days later, Manchester United will participate in the 25-2018 Champions League final at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid, Spain!"

"The Red Devils once stood at the top of Europe and created England's first treble. I hope the boys of Manchester United will not forget their past glory and continue to strive for the highest honor in Europe!"

"Just like tonight!"

Neville vented his emotions, looked at Carragher next to him, and said meanly: "Jamie, do you have anything to say to everyone?"

After the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, he was ridiculed by Carragher a lot.

In other words, Neville never fights a battle against the odds.

Now that I have the chance, I must get back at him.

Carragher put his hands in his hair, his pupils were dilated and lifeless, and he just stared blankly at the concrete floor.

How does he feel?
It's even more painful than when Gerrard slipped and fell and gave away the championship!

Because before he could attribute the reason to the unfairness of fate.

Liverpool

Carragher wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

Neville didn't provoke his old partner too much. After all, the winner is always generous, and there was no need for him to give him another blow.

"For those who think Chu can be invisible, here are the statistics for this game. He dribbled past the defense 19 times, and was successful 16 times."

"Do you know who holds the record for most dribbles in the Champions League semi-finals?"

"Messi, 16 times."

"He created it in the 2008 Champions League final, in the first leg against Manchester United."

"But in the end we got through to the final thanks to Scholesy's goal."

"But it is still a shame for Manchester United, and now the shameful record has finally been equaled!"

Neville grinned.

Although he was the captain of Manchester United at the time, he basically spent most of the time in the stands due to long-term injuries.

It is precisely because of this.

He was not like Evra, who was surpassed by Messi to set a record.

In fact, Neville forgot that the player he was facing was Ronaldinho, and in the Champions League knockout round two years later, he did freeze Ronaldinho.

However, Ronaldinho's performance declined seriously at that time, and Neville was no longer as brave as before.

As the camera quickly zooms out.

Anfield under the night sky is a magnificent stadium and the most sacred place in Liverpool.

It has witnessed many miracles and given birth to many legends.

And tonight is undoubtedly a night of miracles.

As dense raindrops fell from the darkness and as the fans' cheers continued to ring out, it was tens of thousands of Manchester United fans celebrating their victory.

"Manchester United, forward—"

"Manchester United, forward—"

Listening to the loud cheers coming from his ears and feeling the cold raindrops hitting his face, Chu Feng just lay quietly on the grass.

Needless to say, the joy of victory is great, but what is more important is the exhaustion in my bones.

In the game that lasted a total of 95 minutes and 26 seconds, he moved from left midfielder to center forward, engaging in long-term high-intensity pressure, as well as constant anaerobic exercises such as turning back, sprinting, and confrontation.

Even though his physical fitness ranks among the top in the Premier League and his physical attribute value exceeds 90, he still feels as if his body is hollowed out.

"I had good luck in the draw last season and made it to the finals with some bumps along the way. I have to pay back the debt I owe sooner or later."

Chu Feng muttered softly.

In fact, before the start of this season, he felt that Manchester United's journey to the Champions League should be smoother.

After all, the lineup's strength on paper is there.

But who would have thought that he would be suspended for a fight at the beginning of the season, and then meet the perfect Liverpool at the end of the season.

Oh. There is a more powerful Manchester City.

After he had rested for a while, Chu Feng slowly got up, wiped the rain off his face with his jersey, and walked towards the edge of the court.

"How many games do we have left?"

Chu Feng asked.

小麦仔细思索了会，才开口回答道：“三场，5月12号联赛最后一轮、5月19号足总杯决赛和6月2号的欧冠决赛。”

"It turns out there are only three games left!" Chu Feng was also full of emotion.

For professional football players, the unit of measurement of time is the match.

From the beginning of the new season in August every year to the end of the season in June of the following year, it seems like a short life.

You can feel joy, anger, sorrow and happiness in it.

"UEFA Super Cup, Club World Cup, Carabao Cup, Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League. This is the only six titles that have never been won in the history of the Premier League. Only Barcelona in 2009 has ever done it."

Next to him, Maguire was waving his fingers and talking to himself.

"Hey, it's not advisable to open champagne in advance! How can we be the Premier League champion, FA Cup champion and Champions League champion when those three games haven't even been played yet!"

Mahrez punched Maguire in angrily.

It’s okay to have confidence, but you must not be blind!
Manchester United is now one point ahead of Manchester City and three points ahead of Liverpool in the Premier League standings. What if they lose to Cardiff City?

Don't say that's impossible, because a football is round.

"Isn't this just a preview?"

Maguire explained with a bitter face.

You have to know that he never even touched the shadow of the championship trophy when he was at Sheffield United, Hull City, Wigan Athletic and Leicester City.

Now that I have the opportunity to win so many championships, it is naturally difficult to control my restless heart.

“Cardiff City is only two points away from the relegation zone, which is Brighton. They will definitely fight hard in the last game, so everyone should be prepared in advance.”

Chu Feng restrained his smile and spoke in a serious tone.

There are many clubs in football that get too excited after a victory and end up in poor form.

Ultimately lost the crucial battle.

That’s right, I’m talking about you - Manchester City in 2024!

After winning the Premier League title ahead of schedule, the players attended a championship party and drank until five in the morning.

That's called being lonely and drunk.

As for the reason why he was so excited, it was probably because he looked down on Manchester United and felt that they posed no threat.

Later, during the FA Cup final, I felt dizzy even when walking.

Chu Feng certainly didn’t know about this incident, but there are many similar incidents in the football world.

"After everything is over, I will treat everyone to a good time!" Chu Feng added.

In fact, players are also human beings. A string cannot be stretched too tight. The key to victory is to have a proper balance between relaxation and tension.

Although we shouldn't get too excited, it's still necessary to celebrate. "I'll treat everyone to dinner later, at the Ivy next to the Heavens."

Chu Feng put on his jersey.

Ivy is Uncle Wen’s new restaurant. It’s only been a few months since it opened, but it has already become a must-visit restaurant in Manchester. Normally, it’s very difficult to book a private room.

Chu Feng had contacted Uncle Wen a few days in advance and he would definitely not go if he lost the game.
But tonight was a miracle night at Anfield.

It would be a shame not to celebrate everyone’s efforts.

Maguire wiped the rain from the corner of his mouth and said, "I've been craving Tianwaitian's fruit wood roast duck recently, but it has too much fat and I can't eat it. I have to eat a few more pieces later to replenish it!"

Mourinho ordered Ma Datou to lose weight because he was overweight.

Those days were extremely difficult.

Maguire didn't dare to eat secretly, after all, he had to weigh himself every day to measure basic data such as body fat.

Anyone who shows any abnormality will probably be reprimanded.

"It's okay. Eat more tonight and run more tomorrow. I'll train with you."

Chu Feng said with a smile.

But in Maguire's eyes, Chu Feng is a devil.

Ranking of the most ruthless players in Manchester United's physical training: Chu Feng, Xiao Mai, Wan Bissaka.
Especially Chu Feng's terrifying training intensity. If it were Maguire, he would probably have to lie down for a week. There were several times when he almost vomited from running.

"Then I'd better eat less."

Maguire muttered.

After the Manchester United players gathered, Chu Feng led the team to the away stands to thank the fans who came to support.

“Manchester United – Manchester United –!!!”

Even though Manchester United fans' voices were hoarse, they still cheered at the top of their lungs.

After all, words like passionate, unrestrained, ups and downs, and constant goals are not enough to describe this game.

It deserves to be engraved in the most glorious page of the Red Devils' history.

Chu Feng raised his hand and clapped loudly.

To be honest, football, as a competitive sport, can never be separated from fans.

He went to a die-hard fans' bar after the first-leg defeat to Liverpool and saw and heard a lot with his own eyes and ears.

Especially what old Mike said: "As fans, the only thing we can do well is to firmly support the team."

Chu Feng thanked these lovely fans from the bottom of his heart.

"Manchester United will never give up, the Red Devils will keep moving forward!"

"Glory to Manchester United!"

"Please bring us the 22nd Premier League trophy, the 14th FA Cup trophy, the 5th Champions League trophy, and help Manchester United rule Europe again!"

"."

Manchester United fans waved their scarves to express their love for the players.

Although Manchester United has a glorious history, it has not won many Champions League titles. Real Madrid has won 12 titles, Milan has won 7 titles, Bayern Munich has won 5 titles, Liverpool has won 5 titles, and Barcelona has won 5 titles.
Manchester United ranked 4th with four titles and two runners-up, behind Ajax and ahead of Inter Milan.

Chu Feng smiled and nodded vigorously, then threw his jersey up.

Not only is he good at shooting, he is also good at throwing things. If he hadn't become a football player, he might have become famous in basketball.

A little fan excitedly took the jersey and made a sharp popping sound on the spot.

Manchester United reversed Liverpool, and the jersey of key player Chu Feng was very memorable.

The value is naturally as high as it can be.

The little fan has already decided to frame the jersey and hang it in the bedroom to look at it every day!

"Chu, not only is there a £200 fine, you also have to pay for the shirt."

Mahrez said with a wink.

Chu Feng shrugged indifferently: "It's okay."

You want to say Manchester United is stingy.

Your expenses in the hotel, such as drinking Coke, will be charged to the players' bill.

But Manchester United is very generous with players' salaries.

Putting aside Chu Feng's top salary in the Premier League, the salaries of De Gea, Pogba, McArthur and others are not low.

Of course, it is possible that this was done.

While the Manchester United players were thanking the fans, the Liverpool players were still immersed in sorrow.

Alisson took off his stuffy gloves and threw them onto the turf.

He can't accept it!

Van Dijk had no intention of comforting his teammates. He was about to explode with anger, but it was not appropriate to vent in public.

After all, he is a man who cares about face.

But the most uncomfortable person in the Liverpool team was not them, but Arnold, who was questioning his life.

“Route 66, Route 66.”

Arnold's mind was full of these words.

Needless to say, he knew who the war criminal was tonight and who was most responsible.

He was passed over 16 times in a single game.
You have to know that this is the Champions League semi-final, not a game on a roadside baseball field.

Even players who are good at dribbling, such as Messi and Hazard, rarely achieve such statistics in a game.

Liverpool should replace a full-back, such as Wan-Bissaka or Kyle Walker.

I'm afraid they won't be able to score three goals.

To put it a little exaggeratedly, Liverpool's Prince Arnold's heart collapsed tonight.

In the end, Henderson stood up. After all, he inherited the captain's armband and became Gerrard's successor. He could not fall down no matter how tragic it was.

He walked up to each player and patted them on the shoulder.

Now any words of comfort are pale, only time can offset their sorrow. After all, life is like a football game - there is no pause button.

Whether you are happy or sad, tomorrow will still come on time.

The MVP after the game was awarded to Chu Feng. There was no suspense as he scored two goals and made one assist. Chu Feng stood in front of the interview board holding the trophy.

Today's host is Henry.

After retiring, the King of Highbury did not choose to be a football coach, but became a sports commentator.

That's more money than many coaches make.

Do you know how much Sky Sports pays Henry?
Four million pounds a year!
Henry handed over the microphone and asked with a smile: "How does it feel to create a miracle with your own hands?"

"Very happy." Chu Feng blinked at the camera.

"I have a question, before the game starts, do you believe you can do it?"

Henry's tone seemed to be mixed with many memories.

Chu Feng did not hesitate and chuckled as he said, "Of course, I said in the pre-match interview that even if no one believes in me, I will always believe in myself."

Henry sighed slightly.

After a while, he continued to ask: "Do you know what is the biggest regret in my life?"

Chu Feng fell into deep thought after hearing this, thinking, isn't this an interview with me?

How come the roles are reversed?
However, Henry's biggest regret must be his time at Arsenal. At that time, Arsenal almost won all the championships - except the Champions League.

"The 2006 Champions League final?" Chu Feng answered tentatively.

Henry nodded. "I had a chance to shoot, but I hesitated for a moment. I regretted it every time I thought about it. So I envy you."

He always felt that he owed Arsenal and Wenger a Champions League title.

If that shot hadn't hesitated.
Therefore, seeing Chu Feng’s performance today, I saw that Chu Feng firmly believed in himself.

He couldn't help but envy.

"Finally, congratulations again on reaching the Champions League final!"
