Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 399 The most common things

"At the end of the game, both Manchester United and Juventus have undergone reorganization this season, but the core of the frontcourt attack remains unchanged."

"Of course, it is unfair to compare Chu Feng and Ronaldo. One is at his peak, and the other is on the decline. There is no need to compare them."

"But football is so cruel. No one can stop the power of time. The new generation sends off the old. No one can always stay at the top."

"Here, I still wish Ronaldo to persevere, leave good memories in the football world, and put a perfect end to his career."

Allianz Stadium, Turin.

The black and white on the stands fluttered in the wind, adding a hint of sadness.

Juventus fans looked at the field and saw the two players wearing No. 7 jerseys having a similar feeling.

"Chris, swap jerseys?"

Chu Feng took the initiative to walk over, pointing at himself and asked.

I don't know why, but he wanted to hand the Manchester United No. 7 jersey to Ronaldo again.

Maybe it's inheritance?
The Red Devils' No. 7 in the post-Ferguson era is no longer a legend that everyone praises, but more like a laughing stock in the football world.

Depay, Valencia, Di Maria. It’s not that they are not capable.

But compared with the fans' expectations for this jersey.

Far from enough.

It wasn't until he took over the No. 7 jersey that the curse was broken.

So in a sense, Beckham, Ronaldo and he are the few players who deserve the glory of Manchester United's No. 7 after the millennium.

"You played well." Ronaldo forced a smile, took off his jersey and handed it over.

"Ah."

Chu Feng didn't say much, because saying those comforting words would sound more like a winner's monologue, which would only make others more disgusted.

Seeing this, Dybala put down his hand regretfully. He still wanted to exchange jerseys with Chu Feng.

It doesn't matter, the home jersey is better and more memorable.

The little fairy comforted herself in this way.

Then, Chu Feng and Xiaomai stood shoulder to shoulder, watching Ronaldo's receding back.

"Chu, before I grew taller, my role model was Messi. After I grew taller, my role model became Cristiano Ronaldo."

Xiaomai was filled with emotion: "I never thought that one day I would be able to stand opposite him and defeat him."

"Well, Scott, you didn't play and sat on the bench for 90 minutes." Chu Feng coughed twice.

"Damn it, how could I forget about this? I must start in the next round!"

Xiaomai smiled awkwardly.

One of his statistics this season is the best in the Premier League.

That means running 5 kilometers in 15 minutes and 45 seconds.

This result is enough to rank in the top 2020 of England's professional 5km race in the 30 season. Only 27 athletes in the UK have better results than him.

Mourinho also promised him that as long as he became the fastest runner in Manchester United, he would give him more playing opportunities.

"Come on, Scott, you've missed too much before, you can't miss it again now." Chu Feng patted his friend's shoulder vigorously.

Post-match press conference.

"In the first half we passed the ball too slowly and I found it difficult to get the players to understand that we had to move the ball quickly."

"We trained yesterday and the ball moved twice as fast in training. I can't understand why it was so slow in the game. In my opinion, Manchester United's pressing intensity was not very strong."

"Besides, this is the most basic quality of a professional player. We will continue to strengthen this in training. I believe this concept will be implemented sooner or later."

"Of course, we lost 0-2 to Manchester United in the first leg, so we have to think from the perspective of our opponent. It will be very difficult for us to play in the next game."

"But we are lucky anyway, we still have 90 minutes to turn the situation around."

"In the end, I can't possibly know what the final result will be, but I can guarantee that we will go into the stadium with a different mentality than we did in this game."

Sari adjusted his black-framed glasses and said with confidence.

In fact, he was very angry.

He felt that the players did not understand him or the tactics he had arranged. They were like headless flies, flying around the court without any order at all.

But there is still the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals. Complaining too early will only make the locker room tense and even cause a split between players and coaches.

So you still have to endure when you need to.

"So Mr. Sarri, do you have anything to say about Ronaldo's performance today?"

A reporter from Turin Sports Daily asked.

"C Ronaldo? He performed very well. When the score was behind Manchester United, he was still encouraging his teammates. He was a qualified leader and created several scoring opportunities. It's just that the goddess of luck didn't favor us."

Sarri said expressionlessly.

The reporters in the audience curled their lips, thinking that Sarri was telling the truth and would not let Higuain play. After all, the Argentine and Ronaldo just don't get along well.

Because both of them need a lot of offensive resources. Why was Higuain kicked out of Real Madrid in the first place? Wasn't it because he was not as good as Benzema as a supporting role?

"What's the striker combination? I don't know either. It will depend on the players' performance and condition. Maybe we will make some adjustments in the next round."

After Sarri finished speaking, he stood up and left.

In another conference room.

Mourinho, who coached Inter Milan more than a decade ago, made a deep impression on the Italian media, who loved to interview popular lunatics at the time.

It was just that Mourinho was in Serie A at the time, and because he hated this group of unscrupulous media, coupled with the Italian Football Association's brainless targeted punishment, he came up with an indefinite news silence.

In his own words: In Italy, it's better for me to remain silent, because every time I say something, I end up being fined or suspended.

At that time, he only attended press conferences for the Champions League and other events, and remained silent about the Serie A league.

"Mr. Mourinho, do you have anything to say about returning to Italy again?" asked a reporter from Gazzetta dello Sport.

"Well, to be honest, I have felt many times that Italy is not a place I am used to, and it is not a place where I can be happy."

"But I am very happy to have completed that interesting journey with Inter."

Mourinho said with a chuckle.

He is no longer the extremist of either the left or the right as before, but tries to live a more peaceful life.

"Well, you led Inter Milan to create the miracle of the treble, and now you are leading Manchester United to challenge for three consecutive championships. How do you evaluate yourself?"

Mirror reporter raised his hand.

Hearing this, Mourinho shrugged and said in a relaxed tone:
“I’m a coach who gives everything he has just to go home and sleep peacefully after every game.”

"Yes, every time I go home and go to bed, I always ask myself: Have I tried my best? Can I sleep peacefully?"

"If the answer is no, then I'll sleep on it, but I'll try harder next time."

With the end of the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, European football is once again in turmoil.

"Discoverer": Juventus 0-2 Manchester United, the duel between the current Manchester United No. 7 and the former Manchester United No. 7 ended with Chu Feng's victory. He headed and kicked in this game, helping Manchester United get two away goals.

"Tuttosport": After the game, Manchester United star Chu Feng was interviewed and said that Juventus is a worthy opponent, and even if they are leading away from home, they still have to be careful when returning to their home court.

The Guardian: In another Champions League semi-final, Paris Saint-Germain tied Bayern Munich 1-1. Neymar of Paris Saint-Germain passed three players in front of the penalty area and assisted Mbappe with a clever heel pass. For Bayern, Kimmich made a cross from the bottom and Lewandowski headed in the goal, beating Kimpembe. In the end, Mbappe was named the best player after the game.

L'Equipe: Currently, Chu Feng is one goal away from tying the single-season Champions League goal record set by Cristiano Ronaldo. Can he tie or even break this record in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals a week later? The odds given by the bookmakers are so small that they cannot be any smaller. Perhaps from their professional perspective, Chu Feng has a high probability of doing so.

The Sun: Who will win the Ballon d'Or this season? It is foreseeable that it will not be Messi, because Barcelona's Champions League journey has ended. The most likely winners are Chu Feng, Lewandowski, Ronaldo, Neymar or Mbappe. Whoever can lift the Champions League trophy or perform well in the European Cup will get more votes.
-
[Chu Feng has already broken Messi's league goal record. If he can also break Ronaldo's Champions League goal record, it will truly be the end of the era of the two greatest players! ]
-
[Defeat Mbappe again and become the first of the new generation! 】
-
[The two are no longer on the same level. Mbappe is a phenomenon, while Chu Feng is a historical level. There is no need to defeat the other head-on. ]
-
[Thinking about last season's Copa Award, it was Mbappe who gave it to Chu Feng. It was really a shame. Even Mbappe himself said it was embarrassing.]
-
[Juventus' performance today was really bad. They are used to bullying weak teams in Serie A, and they haven't encountered a strong enough team in the Champions League. Now they met the defending champions, and their true colors were exposed in an instant.]
-
[In fact, Juventus' lineup is considered luxurious, but who knew they would run into the shameless Sarri? He was originally criticized by Chelsea fans for his irrational deployment of troops, and the games they won were all based on the flashes of inspiration from top superstars.]
-
[Anyway, I don't think Juventus can turn the tables. They were already inferior to Manchester United in terms of skills and tactics, and they lost two crucial away goals. How can they play? ]
-
[It still depends on Ronaldo's performance. If he can stand out, Juventus still has a chance. ]
-
[No chance. You all saw Ronaldo's performance today. It's hard for him to have the same explosion as when he was in Real Madrid. Besides, his teammates are not as good as Real Madrid.]
-
[Pogba is really a cancer! His defensive attitude is not positive, and he always wants to show off. He lost the ball 21 times in one game. I don’t know how to complain about him! ]
-
[Fortunately, before his contract expired, Manchester United sold him to Juventus at a high price. If he had been left alone and became a free agent, they would have lost another 100 million euros.]

The next day.

Chu Feng returned to Manchester and took a day off after a long absence, but he still came to the training base.

Sometimes he is very free, but he just can't sit still.

After thinking about it for a long time and finding nowhere to go, he decided to go and see the youth team. When he stood outside the training ground, the young players on the field suddenly became excited.

Once upon a time, at the Carrington training base, the idol of young people was Ronaldo.

He is still Manchester United's No. 7, but the person has changed.

"The day after tomorrow we're playing Aston Villa. Why don't you stay at home and take a rest? Why are you running over here?"

Faria had just finished processing some documents and came over when he saw Chu Feng.

"I remember when I first joined the first team, I also took advantage of the holidays to intensify my training. I almost never had any time for fun, right?"

Chu Feng did not answer directly.

"Yes! At that time, I didn't have any vacation time. The overtime pay I received from accompanying you in training was higher than my original salary!"

Faria made a joke.

He still remembers that time vividly. Although Chu Feng was still very young, he showed an urgency to improve his strength.

That kind of boring life makes people feel bored, but Chu Feng persisted for hundreds of days.

"I heard that after this season, you're going to lead the team yourself?"

Chu Feng suddenly felt reluctant.

"Well, you know I'm old. Although I don't make much, it's enough for me and my family. But who would complain about having too much money?"

Faria scratched his head: "I originally wanted to stay at Manchester United, but the salary offered by Qatari team Al Duhail is too high. One year can make as much as I earn in three years, so..."

"I understand. In fact, I have long felt that you can work alone with your abilities."

Chu Feng suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Of course. I have been with Jose for 17 years. I don't even know how strong his tactical skills are! Maybe when I return from Qatar in the future, I can coach a Premier League giant. Then I will lead the team to defeat you. Hehe."

Faria was so absorbed in his daydream that he almost drooled at the corners of his mouth.

Snapped!
Faria's daydream was interrupted. He turned around and saw Mourinho's face. He smiled and explained: "Boss, listen to my excuse. I have only learned the basics of your tactical concepts. I haven't touched the core. I went to Qatar to cheat the penalty. I will come back to you after I am dismissed."

"Puchi!" Chu Feng couldn't hold back his laughter.

I didn't expect Faria to be so sinister as to cheat the White Turbans of their oil money.

But it doesn’t matter if you think about it.

They can afford to pay hundreds of millions to sign Ronaldo.

Do you still care about Faria’s tens of millions of dollars in liquidated damages?
Mourinho did not speak, but looked up at the green field. For football, the most common things are the coach and the players, the coach and the team.
Few last long.

Maybe one day in the future, he will leave Manchester United and pursue new things.

2020 5 Month 5 Day.

Round 34 of the Premier League.

Manchester United played away against Aston Villa.

"Beautiful! In the 26th minute of the game, Grealish was brought down in the penalty area. The referee awarded a penalty kick, and Chu Feng scored it in one go!"

"Manchester United's hot form in the Champions League has continued to the Premier League!"

"In less than half an hour, they fired 8 shots, 7 of which were on target. Unfortunately, the goal conversion rate was a little low!"

"."

"Chu Feng! He shot from the CF7 area with a precise arcing shot that scored a goal!"

"Manchester United are in a good position to win with a two-goal lead. The suspense of the game seems to have been wiped out!"

"."

"The game is over, the game is over! Manchester United beat Aston Villa 3:0 away, Chu Feng scored twice, Maguire scored with a header, and Manchester United continues to lead the Premier League standings!"
