Chapter 95 Free endorsement
May, the final harvest season of a season, is also the season when people start to cry.
The team in the relegation zone fell into the abyss of despair and struggled to death. The rich family, which advanced rapidly on several lines, hit the last crown with a gradually high fighting spirit. "Let's all fight". Ferguson described the current mood of Carrington training base.
At this time, I encountered a 10-game losing streak away, the attendance at home is getting worse and worse, and there is no hope for relegation. Why can't you get it?
After the game, Ferguson chewed gum and shook hands with Southgate with a smile. The old man was happy that in addition to the less and less pressure in the league, more importantly, he also bathed more than half of the main players in the afternoon sunshine of the river court on the bench. At this time, the league has also become a special practice to prepare for the Champions League, and the Red Devils' mind has already flown to London in the middle of the week.
When people walk in the world, there are always times to get involved in right and wrong.
In the last round of the 2006/07 season, Ferguson sent a second-tier team to play against West Ham. As a result, it helped the East London team's doomsday escape, and the scene of Sheffield United falling into the abys is still vivid.
However, Ferguson also had something wrong with him last time. He first patted Warnock on the shoulder and told him from the bottom of his heart: Don't worry, we will do our best, but as soon as we saw the lineup, Vernock's heart was half cold--that's why he criticized Ferguson as useless in the personal column of the Independent. .
This time Ferguson learned to be obedient. As a guest, Miburg greeted Southgate, Hiller and other juniors who were struggling in the relegation area in advance: "In 2007, Warnock was very dissatisfied with me, saying that I did not play the main force in the game with West Ham. However, when it comes to this in the league, many teams will let some young players from the reserve team jump on the field, which is understandable. As long as the players wear Manchester United's jerseys and play with the purpose of winning, what's the problem?
With this said, of course, Southgate was overjoyed and couldn't wait for Ferguson to withdraw all 11 of the main players. The Scotsman even joked on Wenger. "Anyway, this old French man will do this. In the game against Portsmouth, maybe he will let Pate Rice (Athan's 60-year-old assistant coach) play right-back, and then Wenger will play central defender by himself." When the starting list came out, the media who speculated that the lineup might be completely changed before the game were immediately disappointed. Compared with the Champions League in the middle of the week, only seven people took a break!
The four people who reserved the position are Oshe, Vidic, Evra and Rooney. In addition, only Ferdinand really can't play because of injury, and the rest are leisurely basking in the sun on the river court. This is enough to show Ferguson's self-confidence and the thickness of Manchester United's bench. After all, Liverpool are still chasing after him in the league competition.
The question of whether to give Tevez a starting line-up makes the old man tireless.
He asked the Argentine as a substitute, which does not mean that he was ready to send him against Arsenal in the middle of the week.
If a reporter raises a question about the value of a player, Ferguson will wave his hand with wide eyes: "As a head coach, you can't see how much money he spends. Is it that he can't play the game? Do you still expect me to go to the tax bureau to take care of them for a discount?"
Ferguson believes in his judgment that in 1990, the goalkeeper Jim Rayton, who performed poorly in the FA Cup, received a brown envelope for dismissal the next day. Don't forget that Ferguson had not brought Manchester United to the championship at that time. My idea is so clear that no one can control it. Therefore, the child Machida partner Li Yu started. In Ferguson's "clear" idea, maybe only Manchester United's No. 9 doesn't have to worry about physical fitness, but the troops needed for the London Battle have been given enough rest.
In the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals last week, Manchester United defeated Arsenal 1-0 at home and took a small step ahead of their opponents in the Champions League.
But next they will visit the Emirates Stadium. The Red Devils do not dare to be careless, because the Gunners are by no means easy to get together. The weak advantage is only a stepping stone rather than a guarantee of the final victory. The veteran Giggs, who has just locked the victory for the Red Devils in the Premier League, also frankly admitted this in an interview.
"You must not take Arsenal lightly." He told the reporter of Sports Life, "They have many players who can decide the outcome of the game, such as Fabregas, Adebayor, Walkot, and Van Persie. They are difficult to deal with when they are in a good state. But Manchester United's players are definitely no worse than them. We have to take the lead in the game. The threat of the Gunners is obvious, and we have to do our best to minimize this threat.
In Giggs' view, the key to controlling the game and mastering the dominance of the game is to play the fast-paced game that the Red Devils are best at: "Manchester United has always been in a good state in Europe, and now they still have the lead. Arsenal is a top team with strong scoring ability, so everyone knows how difficult the game will be and there will be no unrealistic illusions. I think there is absolutely no problem as long as we play the level of the first round. On the field, everyone runs and plays a fast-paced game, which is what we are best at.
What the most needed in the fast-paced game is healthy players. The Welshman is of course in good shape now, and Sir Alex Ferguson's relief is that the defender Ferdinand also returned in time.
In the first round of last week, Ferdinand collided with goalkeeper Van der Sar, causing lung bruises and even coughing up blood in the locker room the next day. Fortunately, the subsequent scan proved that his injury did not worsen. The British international also resumed training on Monday morning and should be able to catch up with the next day. The second round.
However, compared with Ferdinand, Evra and Brown's luck is not so good. Neither of them appeared on the training ground. Brown was rumored to have a good chance to make a comeback in the league against Middlesbrough, but he did not appear in the bench in the end.
Evra was injured in the game against Miburg, but coach Ferguson insisted that his injury was not serious, and there was still a big chance in the second round.
Wenger was not happy to hear that Ferdinand was fine.
Last Wednesday at Old Trafford, he and Van der Sar collided and looked very serious. Manchester United also thought that the ribs were broken, but after X-rays, it was confirmed that the ribs were okay, but there was a little bruises in the lungs, and he should be able to play next week after a weekend break.
At the beginning, Ferdinand's symptoms scared Ferguson.
He lifted his clothes and saw obvious cracks in the ribs, coughing and blood: "At this time, everyone will make the worst plan - a broken rib. Fortunately, he was fine. There was nothing else but a little bruise in his lungs. His bones were very good, so he had a good chance to play on Tuesday.
Ferdinand and Terry, two England international central defenders, are both iron bones. The latter had a broken cheekbone and still played with a mask. In the League Cup final between Cardiff and Arsenal, they were kicked in the head and twitched all over and sent to the hospital. Unexpectedly, they would come back in time to attend the celebration ceremony. He himself joked that he might When he is old, he will sit in a wheelchair and count the trophies when he was young. Ferdinand was also slightly injured, not to mention the highlight of the semi-finals with Arsenal.
Ferguson said: "(No fracture) is good news for Leo, and I hope he will be ready to play on Tuesday. Now it seems that his body is fine, but he definitely can't play against Miburg. Of course, whenever you see Leo at that time, you will worry about the worst thing. What we need to do now is to let him resume training as soon as possible, probably on Sunday, so that he can be ready for Tuesday.
Ferdinand's substitute Evans on the weekend has been recognized by the British media, but in the face of Arsenal's strong offensive power, the young player is still somewhat unreliable. The English can make a comeback in time, which finally makes Manchester United breathe a sigh of relief.
What makes Wenger feel more worried is the recent recovery of Manchester United's No. 9 status. On the riverside court, Li Yu is simply a synonym for omnipotent. In Manchester United's attack, you can always see the Chinese striker, and the famous French coach has to admit, "Manchester United's growth speed of No. 9 is shocking. Look at him. The current running position is simply holding a sharp knife in front of the opponent's critical point!"
Wenger's words are definitely not complimenting the opponent's players, AC Milan, Chelsea, Arsenal... As an Asian player, Li Yu stepped on his feet one by one.
The Chinese Red May made Manchester United advance in the Premier League and the Champions League. More than a year ago, the young man who sold by Juventus in Serie B could have thought that he could achieve such an achievement in a short time. Today, Manchester United is already the absolute main force.
Compared with another Asian player in Manchester United, it can be opened. How big is the gap between the two? The Korean media used to shout that Park Ji-sung is the Asian star and the first person in the rich family. Please don't forget that Park Ji-sung is just a regular player of the first-tier team, not the main force, let alone Lee. The absolute main force like Yu, now it's the Chinese people's turn to say such a strong language!
Recently, Park Ji-sung has just renewed his four-year contract with Manchester United, and his weekly salary will increase to 50,000 pounds.
In an interview with The Sun, Park Ji-sung said, "I have no reason to leave. I'm playing for the best club in the world."
50,000? Without Li Yu, it would be a proud achievement in Asia, but compared with Li Yu's post-tax salary of far more than 50,000, Park Ji-sung and Li Yu are not at the same level of players at all.
The salary of a player may not all reflect the real level of a player, but the Premier League clubs still know the reason that strength is the standard of football. Li Yu's current level and performance are absolutely worthy of the first-line weekly salary of the Premier League.
Park Ji-sung is a little wronged. It is obviously a good thing to just raise his weekly salary, but it is compared with Li Yu, a freak by the media. I don't know that the gap is really not small. The biggest factor is actually ignored by the media, age!
Li Yu is not yet at the golden age. She has great potential. Age is his greatest advantage. Park Ji-sung is already at the peak. After a while, he will go downhill. The key is his age. He has no room to rise.
It's actually very reluctant to put the two together, but who says that both of them are from Asia, and some of them are all from football giants like Manchester United!
In the past, the Korean media always liked to brag, and the feng shui took turns. Now Chinese footballers can finally proudly start talking about their players. It is not ironicing other players to let go first. At least in the Asian football world, Huaxia is no longer pessimistic at sunset. This It's all because Li Yu appeared in Huaxia!
Of course, Li Yu, a party, doesn't like to always compare with other players. There is nothing to compare. He is him. Li Yu is not someone else. He still has this self-confidence. He is always put on those big hats, which is also annoying. You know, these hats can be used by others with just one mouth without any effort. He put a high hat on Li Yu, but it was Li Yu himself who was under pressure for these.
Don't do it, do it. This is what Li Yu wants to say most in her heart, but what can he do? Obviously, he can't say this, and he can only always remind himself to maintain the current level.
Before his debut, Ronaldo C was always called Xiao Luo. Li Yu did not have to bear such pressure, but it turned out that Li Yu's pressure was no less or even greater than the original C Ronaldo, because all his hats represented the most populous country in the world, but such a country Known as the football desert, he is now the largest oasis in the desert!
And he is used to these. The pressure Li Yu carries is far more than what people see. However, in football, he has his own cards and absolute self-confidence. The light brain from the future is the source of his confidence. In the football circle, he doesn't have to underestimate himself at all. He just wants to take a step. Going to the top step by step without worrying about this is his biggest advantage of success.
There are people on it who don't panic. Li Yu is not panicked in the palm of her hand. On the training ground to prepare for Arsenal, Li Yu's performance is still so excellent. Ferguson wants Li Yu to share with his teammates how to maintain a good competitive state for a long time, but the old man has decided that after the end of the season, no matter How to lock Li Yu's future on Manchester United? It is necessary to renew the contract!
It is incredible for a Chinese man to be erected as the leader of Manchester United, but the scene in front of him makes the old man firmly believe that Li Yu will become the king of Old Trafford in the near future!
I hope I can stick to this day. Maybe this decision will make him more motivated to stick to the coaching seat of Manchester United and watch the magical young people grow up step by step. Such a Manchester United years will be wonderful.
The Huaxia reporting group on the side of the training ground has been tracking and reporting everything about Manchester United. Of course, the focus is still on Li Yu. They also recorded a wonderful goal in Li Yu's training. Duan Xuan made a few exciting comments from time to time. It's a waste of this trip. Unfortunately, in the Premier League, they can't go through the whole process. The report has missed many extremely wonderful pictures. Their reporting group has hated the Premier League reporting rights, and they don't know when China CCTV will win the Premier League's broadcasting rights and reporting rights!
After the training, according to the past practice, Duan Xuan stopped Li Yu and asked him to accept his own interview.
"Your state is really excellent. Let's talk to the majority of Chinese fans. How many do you plan to make in the second round of the Champions League?" Duan Xuan was already very familiar with Li Yu and went straight to the point as soon as he came up.
Li Yu pointed to Duan Xuan, which means that you are really rude. You wiped the sweat on your forehead with a towel on your shoulder. "Ha ha, I can't say, I really don't have any goal, but I want to score more goals in the game. Is it a striker?"
"Ha ha, then you can take it as a pre-match prediction and see if you can fulfill your previous prediction in the game!" Duan Xuan did not intend to let Li Yu go. He smiled and returned the problem to Li Yu.
"Well, two! No more, no less, it's the same as the last league. Explain in advance, it's not a prediction, it's a good wish!" Li Yu had no choice but to finally say a number.
"If you score two more goals, your total number of goals in the Champions League will reach 13, and Asia's first Champions League golden boot will be born!" Duan Xuan immediately thought of a question, "The record is about to be born. What do you want to say most? Now let's preview the award-winning scene at that time. Come on!"
"What should I say?" Li Yu shrugged her shoulders and was really defeated by this problem. Can the rehearsal work?
"Thanks to my parents, all my colleagues at Manchester United, thank you..."
A series of thanks made Duan Xuan feel as if he was at the award ceremony of Golden Rooster, Baihua and Golden Melody at this moment. "Can you make something different? Do you always make a deep impression for the first time!"
After being completely defeated, Li Yu shook her head helplessly and pondered, "After winning this award, my waist is not painful and my legs are not sore. You can see three goals, and your face is not red or breathless. If you win the prize, you will get the golden boots. Please remember, the Champions League golden boots are right!"
"Haha, your award-winning speech has traces of serious plagiarism. Well, it won't be difficult for you today!" Duan Xuan ended today's interview with a smile and signaled that the camera could turn off the machine. When the machine was turned off, Duan Xuan said, "It seems that I'm in a good mood. Have you encountered something good? Don't worry, the machine has been turned off!"
Looking at Duan Xuan's expression, you will know that this guy must have contacted something. He doesn't want to talk nonsense.
"What's the good thing? I didn't let you force it. Well, I made an advertising endorsement for others for free. Did you report the endorsement fee for me?" Li Yu joked, waved her hand and walked towards the locker room.
"Ha ha, this is really not there!"
