Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 433 Unconventional Lord Sir

"We are very passive on the field, we are behind the opponent in all game statistics, our players have received three yellow cards. But, old man, I am still very happy today, because I feel that I have devoted 19 years of hard work, It's paid off! Bravery, perseverance, and the eternal pursuit of winning have taken root in this team."

"You guys did a great job, no one gave up, no one slackened up. Some of the people in your door have been more comforting than I expected."

"If I really leave Carrington tomorrow, I can leave with a smile. There is no banquet in the world. I am old, and I can leave something to this team. I am very satisfied."

"Of course! If you still refuse to admit defeat! Continue to fight! You still want to create a miracle through your own efforts and shock everyone! Then, the old man will always be with you and stand on the sidelines to cheer for you! They are all good children, just like my own children, they are my treasures!"

"Maybe someone has got the news, maybe someone hasn't noticed. Today's game also has a special significance. Since the establishment of the English Premier League, before this game, Manchester United has scored 999 in the Premier League. Ball, now, with only the last ball left, we can reach the 1000-ball mark! That is a unique honor!"

"Old man, I still have one wish today, which is to be able to watch my team score the 1000th goal with my own eyes! ... Thank you everyone!"

This was Ferguson's speech during the halftime break. It was still a little strange. The old Scottish man's expression was still so indifferent, as if his team was not fighting Chelsea today, but an unrelated team.

When Ferguson mentioned that he hoped to score the 1000th goal, he even bowed to all the players!
This sudden bow from Ferguson left everyone stunned.

Ferguson is a kind old man on weekdays, but once he appears on the training ground or on the sidelines of the court, he is a different person. He is a very strict coach. If his team can't satisfy him in the game, he will definitely lose his temper He yelled loudly. For example, today, Manchester United not only failed to score, but was also at a disadvantage. According to past practice, many people should have been scolded bloody!
Even if the opponent is a powerful Chelsea, there will be no exceptions!

Today, however, Ferguson is uncharacteristically. Instead of scolding anyone, he is still praising everyone. He said he is "happy" and "very satisfied". In order to let the team score goals, he is bowing to all players and "seeking" the players Work harder, for him to score the 1000th goal, so that he can see that historic goal with his own eyes...

This is definitely not Ferguson in the normal sense!At least not the high-spirited Ferguson who lashed out at Fang Qiu!
Could it be that the 64-year-old Ferguson really has the intention to retire and wants to end his career as the Red Devils?
Ronaldo suddenly had a creepy feeling. If he replaced Ronaldo and eventually led to Ferguson's early retirement, then is Manchester United still the Red Devils?Without Ferguson, can Manchester United achieve a second take-off? Will Manchester United's glorious three-peat championship era in the first decade of the 21st century come as scheduled?

"Coach, I request to play in the game!...My physical fitness can guarantee at least 45 minutes! Please allow me to play!"

It was Roy Keane who suddenly spoke. Although Roy Keane had clearly stated at the press conference that he accepted the club's invitation to become the first-team fitness coach, he is still a registered player of the Manchester United club this season. , is the captain of the team, and is eligible to represent the first team in games.

At the end of the first half of today's game, it was still tied at 0:0. Manchester United withstood the pressure, but the game in the second half must be more difficult. Roy Keane finally couldn't sit still at this time.

"Well, yes, I agree with your request. Roy, who do you want to substitute? Paul or Darren?" Ferguson asked in a calm tone.

"Darren, sir, I think it's more appropriate to leave the front to the boys."

"Okay. Darren Fletcher off, Roy Keane on after the opening of the second half."

Everything is normal, the head coach accepted the team captain's opinion calmly, replaced the midfielder who he personally supported, and let the team captain who had conflicts with him play... If all this hadn't happened in Ferguson and Roy Keane must be normal, but Manchester United at this moment is not in a normal state!
Ferguson turned into a nice man. If this is normal, there will be no abnormal phenomena in the world!

Today's Manchester United, including today's game, must be extremely unusual. All the people at the scene were secretly beating drums in their hearts. If things go wrong, there must be monsters!
Fortunately, the locker room of a football club is a sacred place. Unless it is approved by the coaching staff, even the chairman of the club cannot enter it without authorization. This area is exclusively for players and coaches. It is kept secret to the outside world. Although there are often so-called "internal rape incidents" in which someone leaks the secrets of the locker room, they are a minority after all.

When Ferguson, as usual, left the locker room to get himself something to drink, the players who looked at each other immediately began to whisper.

"Cristiano, what do you think?" Rooney asked Ronando softly, playing with a banana in his hand.

"Hey! Are you kidding me? How can it be my turn to intervene in this kind of thing? Why don't you ask Roy..." Ronando replied casually.

"You bastard!...I'm talking about how we should cooperate in the second half! Didn't you hear Roy say, leave it to us?"

Hearing Rooney's words, Ronando smiled wryly. He really misunderstood. He thought that Rooney was also thinking about Ferguson and Roy Keane. Unexpectedly, the little fat Rooney didn't care about other things at all, but was thinking about what he should do in the second half. How to break Chelsea's defense and open the deadlock for the team.

"Go ahead, I'll follow on the right!" Understanding Rooney's meaning, Ronando immediately replied simply.

Rooney frowned: "Makelele is hard to deal with! ... and William Gallas!"

Ronando was a little embarrassed. Of course he knew what Rooney meant. In the first half of the game, Rooney passed him a few balls, but because of the interference from Chelsea's French midfielder Claude Makelele, it was difficult for Ronando Received the pass easily as before, which caused Rooney + Ronaldo's young striker combination to lose its magic in this game!

In at least two games before Ronando participated in the League Cup round of 32 knockout rounds, the cooperation of Rooney and Ronando has become the deadliest weapon on Manchester United's front line, and people place high hopes on it.

However, when Ronando faced Makelele's defense today, he was deflated!

The 32-year-old Makelele is still the core force of Chelsea's midfield defense. This French veteran known as a "full-time defensive midfielder" has provided a template for future midfielders. He has never Will not enter the opposing team's half, always active in the area from the front of the penalty area to the center line, guarding the home for the teammates in front.

Today, Makelele has a tougher and equally powerful defensive partner beside Makelele, that is the young Ghanaian all-around midfielder Michael Essien.

Michael Essien, nicknamed "Buffalo", who is not yet 23 years old, transferred to Chelsea this summer for a price of 2440 million pounds. This figure is 4 times that of Ronaldo's transfer value. It will be recorded, but the price is worth it. The young Michael Essien has helped Lyon win two league titles in Ligue 5, and also performed eye-catching in the 1999 and 2001 tournaments.

Makelele + Michael Essien have become a huge obstacle restricting Rooney + Ronando today. Among them, Michael Essien, who is more robust, defends Rooney, while the experienced Makelele keeps up with Ronando.

"Boys! . . . You may have forgotten me, old fellow?"

Just when Rooney and Ronaldo were frowning, a fair round face came up. It was Norwegian striker Ole Solskjaer. Although this veteran is 32 and a half years old, he is like his nickname "Baby". Like the "face killer", he looks very young, at least it won't make people think that he is a full round older than Rooney.

"Hey! Cristiano, you come and hold that bastard Makelele back, I'll run to catch the ball...then you go down!" Solskjaer said with a wicked smile.

The arrival of Solskjaer gave Rooney and Ronaldo a boost.

As a super substitute in the glorious Manchester United period, Solskjaer is not an ordinary guy. He has average physical condition, but his running ability is first-rate, and he is an unstoppable running master. This is exactly the opposite of Ronando. If their abilities are neutralized, they must be one of the world's top strikers.

"Hmm! Brother Ole is right!" Rooney excitedly said, "My passing method should be modified... Then you can see if it works..."

The three guys, the old and the young, were not particular about it, so they gathered next to a deck chair. Rooney poked and gestured on the chair with a banana in his hand, and the other two added supplements from time to time, leading to a lively discussion.

In other words, since the relationship between Ronando and Rooney has become harmonious, the order in Manchester United's dressing room has changed beyond recognition.

The original small cliques are gradually disintegrating. For example, as Roy Keane inevitably fades out of the power center and Rooney moves closer to Ronaldo, the two largest small cliques in the team are facing a reunion. In the distribution situation, those players who usually have a good relationship will still get closer, and some others choose a group that is close to them to join.

This is the prototype of the most primitive locker room clique.

In fact, there is no such thing as a small group in every locker room, but people are group animals, and for one reason or another, some people will get closer to each other, and correspondingly, they will go farther away from others , Over time, there will be some conflicts between different groups, and when the grievances deepen, small groups will be formed.

Now, the veterans in the team have a faint tendency to split, and they are no longer tightly surrounded by Roy Keane, and the young players are also different. With Ronaldo and Rooney as the center, they have formed the largest team. share power.

Chelsea did not choose to make substitutions in the away game. The Blues coach Mourinho showed his confidence. First, he took the initiative to shake hands with Graham Poll and others in the referee team in a personable manner, and then walked to the west side of the court. The bench belonging to the Chelsea side in the second half, there, is the bench belonging to the Manchester United side in the first half.

When Mourinho walked to the chair that belonged to him, he did something that made people look sideways!
The Portuguese reached out and grabbed a box of tissues from the hand of the substitute player Carlton Cole, took out one, and began to carefully wipe the chair...

Every winter, Mourinho always wears his black Armani coat to appear on the sidelines of the court, which has become one of Mourinho's symbols. Put on his outfit early, as if the coat would bring him good luck, like today, the night temperature in Manchester is around 10°C, but Mourinho has already put on his coat .

Regarding Mourinho's black coat, he once specifically explained: "It was a gift my wife brought back to me when she first went to Italy. It was her monthly salary. I must cherish it."

Could it be that Mourinho thought there was something dirty on that chair and worried about staining his precious coat?
impossible!Today's Manchester is not a rainy day but a cloudy day. The air in the northern capital of Manchester is also cleaner than in the London area. There can be any dirt on the chairs. Besides, after the team changed sides, Chelsea's substitute players have come early After cleaning up the scene, other people's chairs may only be cleaned up sloppily. Mourinho's exclusive chair, who dares to be sloppy, must have been carefully wiped.

Well, since there can be no dirty things on the chair, the only explanation left is one... Mourinho disliked that this chair was sat on by Ferguson's fat ass just now!
This is a wild conjecture. If it is confirmed, the media will definitely criticize it!
Nima!Mourinho, you can make a fuss, often make the press conferences before and after the game ups and downs, and dare to block the media who speak ill of you, that’s all. Before the battle between Chelsea and Manchester United this time, Mourinho Uncharacteristically, he behaved very honestly, and did not speak out against Manchester United or Ferguson. Maybe it is the current tragic situation of Manchester United that has aroused the pity of madmen?
However, the Portuguese was just being honest for a while, like a tiger taking a nap now and then, and now he's starting to do things again!
In the general environment of world football, Mourinho is definitely a character coach. There are always a lot of troubles following him, and these troubles are brought on by Mourinho himself.

The English media's attitude towards Mourinho is also love-hate, because Mourinho is an authentic university graduate, has experienced a good education, is a master of language, sharp words, and speaks unscrupulously. It is welcomed by the media, "where there is Mourinho, there will be news". Whenever Mourinho is present, the reporters will never find something to do. After a little bit of Mourinho's exaggeration, it will become news.

But on the other hand, Mourinho has always made his relationship with the media very tense.

Mourinho is very arrogant. This is not only aimed at his opponents, but also at the media. He will never compromise with the media. Any reporter who confronts him will either be directly blocked by him, or he will refuse to answer any questions of the reporter. Sometimes they use sharp language to satirize and sarcasm each other.

As Mourinho described himself, he is "the most unique one".

"******! When is it Chelsea's turn to be so arrogant!...Brothers! The game has just begun! The Red Devils go forward! Manchester United must win!"

At the beginning of the second half, players from both sides entered the court. Roy Keane and Darren Fletcher ran onto the court after crossing the border.

The captain of the Red Devils came on the field, and the Manchester United players seemed to have suddenly found their backbone. They all ran up to give Roy Keane a high-five, but Roy Keane turned his head and stared bitterly and was still on the opponent's bench, "putting on a show." "Mourinho, and then shouted to the surrounding teammates!

If Ronaldo's two gambles with Didier Drogba and Lampard in the first half saved the last bit of luck for Manchester United, then Roy Keane's appearance made Manchester United's mental outlook disturbed A shake.

Regardless of Roy Keane's state, and no matter how brave and fearless the young players are, in the current Manchester United, Roy Keane is still an irreplaceable banner. From this point of view, Ferguson Still too stubborn, or in other words, Ferguson got the beginning right, but guessed the end wrong.

In the original world, after the conflict between Ferguson and Roy Keane broke out, Roy Keane was forcibly terminated midway in November and left the team.

Ferguson's choice is undoubtedly a smart decision. As long as Roy Keane remains in the team, no one can really replace him. Keane has actually become a stumbling block for the next team leader, so long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. The sooner Roy Keane leaves, the better for Manchester United.

Everything that happened on the court today also proved this point.

If Roy Keane is gone, based on Ronaldo's performance in the game today, he first carried Drogba hard to cause the opponent's defeat in the top fight, and then he protected Darren Frye Toru, he did not hesitate to challenge Lampard, the biggest star in England, to avoid the morale of the Manchester United team. With these two things alone, Ronando's reputation in the team is enough to make him a temporary leader.

However, with Roy Keane on the bench, everything is different. Although Ronando has been recognized by all his teammates, he cannot become a real leader...
