Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 403: Advancement to the Champions League Final
"The game is over, the game is over!"

"Facing Juventus, the champion of the Champions League, Manchester United defeated the opponent with great ease and became the first team to advance to the Champions League final!!"

"And this is the third consecutive year that Manchester United has advanced to the Champions League final!"

"Looking back at today's game, Chu Feng used his violent long-range shots and dreamy dance steps to mess up Juventus' defense!"

"Old Trafford seems to have become his own stage, and everyone else has become his foil!"

"And just now I had a feeling that the era of the two great players is really over. They are no longer the focus of fans' attention, and they are no longer the omnipotent they once were!"

"Wushuang, the name given to the new era by the world of football is very fitting for tonight!"

"From the star-studded Italian Serie A World Cup last century, to Kaka winning the Ballon d'Or over Messi and Ronaldo, the two have dominated the football world with their absolute strength for more than a decade."

"But football is like this, no one can stop time. Messi and Ronaldo are already a thing of the past, and the future of football will belong to one person."

"Manchester United No. 7! I wish Chu Feng and Manchester United can achieve their first three consecutive championships after the Champions League reform!"

Zhan Jun was deeply moved.

As a permanent commentator of the Premier League, he still remembers that day in 2017 when Chu Feng came on as a substitute for Martial and embellished his debut with a goal.

Later, Chu Feng grew up at a terrifying speed, just like he was on a high-speed train.

In the end, he broke the Premier League goal record in his first season in his career and created an epic story of falling behind three times and equalizing three times in the Champions League final.

Now he has reached the pinnacle of football. He made it all the way to the Champions League knockout stage, defeating Messi and Ronaldo, and leading Manchester United to the final with his dominant strength.

It really makes me emotional when I think about it.

"Well, that's it for today. With the Champions League semi-finals coming to an end, the Premier League season is also coming to an end."

“从5月11日的英超35轮到5月23日的英超38轮，曼联将会接连对阵南安普顿、西汉姆联、水晶宫和曼城。”

"Manchester City is three points behind Manchester United and the goal difference is 12 goals behind. What this means is self-evident."

"Of course, if Manchester United had failed in the first few rounds, with any draw or defeat, they would have missed out on the Premier League title."

"There is also Liverpool, who are two points behind Manchester United and are lurking behind them."

"But they can no longer control their own destiny and can only pin their hopes on those teams."

Old Trafford.

The red sea in the stands was surging, and Manchester United fans were waving their scarves in celebration.

victory!

Since defeating Manchester City to become the champions last season, they have been looking forward to today all the time, wanting to participate in the Champions League final as two consecutive champions.

Courtside.

Mourinho couldn't help but punch. He once led Porto and Inter Milan to win the Champions League, and he also led Chelsea and Real Madrid to fail halfway.

He has not forgotten some of these experiences to this day, and can even remember every detail clearly.

"Boss, we're going to the Stadium of Light!"

Faria gave a big hug.

"I still remember that place." Mourinho's smile was full of memories.

Before he coached Porto, he coached Benfica for three months.

But the experience was not pleasant.

At that time, the club's management was replaced and targeted him in various ways.

For example, deliberately changing hotel reservations at short notice, interfering with other logistical matters without his consent, etc.

He even praised other coaches in public, clearly pointing out that they were far better than him.

Mourinho was only 37 years old at that time.

mad.

Therefore, after winning against Sporting CP, he submitted his resignation to the club and left Benfica with a shadow.

However, Benfica ended up finishing sixth in the league that season, the worst result in the team's history.

Mourinho began his new career at Leiria.

A few years later, Benfica also witnessed Mourinho lead rivals Porto to win the Europa League and Champions League titles.

Sarri on the other side was dejected, but the Italian's inherent grace made him try his best to smile and say to Mourinho: "Congratulations."

There is no doubt that he will receive a notice later, and Juventus will also issue a notice overnight.

The content is naturally that everyone has their own dreams and their own wonders.

"Thank you." Mourinho nodded slightly.

He still has a certain respect for coaches who have come up from lower leagues.

On the court, Chu Feng and his teammates were partying and celebrating their victory.

"Chu! The Champions League single-season goal record, one more goal will bring us to 20!"

"The performance just now was perfect!"

Manchester United players gave their sincere praise.

"Chu, what is it like to play in the Champions League final?" Havertz has never played in it, so he is very curious.

For him, the Champions League final is sacred and the dream stage for all players.

The reason why he chose Manchester United was because he watched the 2017-18 Champions League final. Chu Feng's courage and perseverance made him admire him, and he also wanted to become such a player in the future.

The closer you are, the more convenient it is to study.

"Champions League final. Well, actually I have only played twice. The first time against Real Madrid was very difficult. I wanted to give up at that time, but I always felt that coming here, I would be wrong not to give it a try. Who knew that I would score a hat trick and beat Real Madrid in a penalty shootout."

"As for the second time, it was actually not much different from the league game, after all, the opponent was Manchester City next door."

Chu Feng smiled.

There is a saying that he thinks is very good: Some things are not done because there is hope, but there is hope only after doing them.

In the century-long match against Real Madrid, they held this idea in mind and created an impossible miracle.

"I'm so jealous! If I had come two years earlier, I could have caught up with that game."

Havertz couldn't help but sigh.

For a professional player, being able to participate in that kind of competition is worth a lifetime.

"Let's make an impact on the Champions League and Premier League titles!"

Maguire shook his head and shouted. Not far away, the Juventus players were silent, their eyes full of frustration.

They were taught a lesson by reality: there are not so many miracles in the world.

Ronaldo put his hands on his hips and looked up at the sky, looking like a tragic hero.

Last summer, his ambition to lead Juventus to a breakthrough in the Champions League is still fresh in our minds, but the fact is that he and Juventus are getting further and further away from this great goal.

Today, he failed to penetrate Manchester United's defense as he did in the past, and instead lost 0-2.

It’s normal to think about it. Now his speed is no longer enough to completely get rid of Manchester United players, and the competition in the Premier League is much stronger than that in Serie A.

So he hardly touched the ball in this game, let alone had any chance of threatening Manchester United's goal.

Therefore, his journey in the Champions League ended and he could not go on.

In fact, his statistics this season are good. He has scored in 10 consecutive Serie A rounds, breaking Trezeguet's record in the 2005-06 season and becoming the new record holder in Juventus.

Juventus fans stared at Ronaldo, feeling indescribably uncomfortable.

They had previously dreamed of winning the Ballon d'Or, because for the declining Italian football scene, the last winner was Kaka in 2007, and 13 years have passed since then.

If even Ronaldo can't do it, who else in Serie A can do it?

Lautaro?
Or Lukaku?
The abstract cooperation between the two brothers was often ridiculed by fans.

Higuain obviously didn't play for long, but he was lying there panting, but he didn't look too disappointed.

As for the fans' public opinion after the game.

He is not afraid.

When he was in the Argentine national team, he was criticized a lot by Argentine fans, and some even blocked his social media accounts.

So he also developed antibodies and was no longer afraid of the terrifying public opinion.

Szczesny leaned against the goalpost, wanting to have a cigarette and numb himself with nicotine.

"Don't be sad, the league isn't over yet, Inter are chasing us very closely, we have to cheer up."

Buffon patted his teammates on the bench.

He will retire soon and continue his unfinished high school studies.

Maybe I'll play in the high school league then?
Therefore, he doesn't want his teammates to be defeated and lose the championship at the crucial stage of the league championship.

Pogba looked at young player Buffon, then at his teammates in the distance, and suddenly felt that he was wrong and should not be too obsessed with the core.

Now that he has come to Juventus, he has more ball possession and the atmosphere within the team is also pretty good.

But no strength.

What would it be like now if he was still at Manchester United?

Manchester United does not need to introduce Havertz, he will become the best midfielder and partner of the strongest center forward in football.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs in the world.

Pogba stood there dejectedly, hoping that his teammates would talk to him and ease the awkward relationship.

No.

Oh, Kante is still very kind. He patted Pogba on the shoulder, but didn't say anything, and turned to walk towards the passage.

Post-match press conference.

"Is the Champions League final in a month's time the most important game for Manchester United in the past year? Is it also the most important game for you?"

The Guardian reporter asked.

"Yes, yes. But not because it's the Champions League final, but because it's the next game. For me, the next game is always the most important game. This is the last game of the season and of course it could bring us an important trophy. I believe Manchester United fans have not seen three consecutive championships."

Mourinho said humorously.

"So what do you want to say about Chu's performance today?"

A reporter from L'Equipe asked.

"Perfect! That's the only word I can think of. When you stand in the coaching booth and look at the field, you can't see anything in the crowded penalty area. All I can see is a red figure, shaking left and right to get rid of the opponent, and then directly send the ball into the goal.

Wow, I was asking God at the time, am I really not dreaming? After watching the replay of the goal carefully, I was even more sure that I was dreaming.

I have only seen this kind of wonderful goal a few times in my coaching career. Oh, maybe I have never seen it before.

If this is a beautiful dream, then I hope I can continue to do it and hope Chu can have the same brilliant performance in the final. "

Mourinho was beaming with joy. That goal really shocked him and he was still excited when he thought about it.

Another conference room.

"In the post-match ratings given by the veteran ratings agency whoscored, Ronaldo only scored 6.6 points, fourth from the bottom among all the team's starters."

"But we all know what Ronaldo's recent form is like. He has won the Serie A Golden Boot or even the European Golden Boot. His chances of winning the Ballon d'Or are higher than theoretical. Is this caused by tactics?"

The Turin Sports Daily reporter asked mercilessly.

This game was not just an accident, it was more like a microcosm of Juventus throughout the season.

Their tactics could even be seen through by the fans, let alone the experienced head coaches of the opposing teams.

Sarri once publicly stated that his biggest tactic is: give the damn football to Ronaldo.

But football is not a one-person game after all.

"I have nothing to say about this. Maybe there are problems with my tactics, but it's meaningless to say that now, and I don't want to say anything that you think is a quibble."

"But you have to know one thing: we are about to complete the feat of winning the Serie A title for the ninth time in a row, which no other team has ever done before."

Sarri couldn't help but say something tough.

The reporters in the audience immediately curled their lips and said, "Nine consecutive championships have nothing to do with you."

Aren’t these trees planted by our predecessors for you to enjoy the shade?
Now that they have reaped the fruits of their labor, they are starting to take credit. Don’t you see that the gap between Inter Milan and Lazio is not that big?
If Juventus is affected by this game, it is very likely that they will suffer consecutive defeats in the league and ruin their best chance of winning the ninth consecutive championship.

Late at night, the news that Manchester United defeated Juventus spread wildly along the Internet.

Chu Feng's dreamy dance goal also made headlines on major video websites.

The Guardian: The Ballon d'Or winner's stunning performance showed people what the art of football is. De Ligt, the best central defender of the younger generation, said in an interview with the media after the game that he was almost dizzy by Chu Feng, and even though he tried his best to steal the ball, he still couldn't touch the ball.

Mirror: The second leg of the Champions League semi-final will start tomorrow. Before the game, Paris coach Tuchel believes that with their overall strength, they are enough to compete with Manchester United. They are confident of advancing to the Champions League final and winning the first Champions League title in Paris' history. PS: According to the latest updated value data from Transfermarkt, Chu Feng is worth 2.7 million euros, while Mbappe and Neymar together are worth 3.3 million euros.

The Sun: It is reported that Pogba went to a Manchester bar to get drunk late at night and had a conflict with Manchester United fans. Fortunately, Rooney, who was present, intervened in time to avoid a fight between the players and fans.
