Chapter 184 Return to the top of the list

Li Yu is Mr. Goldball of Xinke Europe. In the name of celebrating Li Yu's award, club owner Koreze held a banquet. Eric Cantona and Bobbi Charlton were also invited to attend the banquet.

For Li Yu personally, the banquet is also a good opportunity to get to know these famous football seniors. Cantona is definitely a Frenchman who is too bold to be bold. When he comes up, he gives Li Yu a bear hug, and he is as enthusiastic as if he has been a good friend for many years.

"Be careful, let's drink one first!" As soon as I said the first sentence, a glass of wine was already in my stomach.

Li Yu can only drink the champagne in the glass.

"How do you drink this? Come on, let's drink this!" Cantona found that Li Yu was drinking champagne, and immediately brought whisky from the waiter.

"One more!" Cantona was very good at drinking. He drank it all and motioned Li Yu to do it quickly.

Li Yugang wanted to drink, but he heard Ferguson's voice.

"Eric! Do you want to get drunk with the protagonist of our party? Ferguson appeared in front of the two in time, "But? You still have to drink this glass of wine!"

Li Yu thought the boss was coming to relieve the siege! Who would have thought that the old man would gasp and drink wine!

As soon as he raised his neck, Li Yu wiped out the wine happily.

Before he speaks, he has already had two cups. If it goes on like this, the banquet hasn't arrived yet **. Today, the protagonist, probably has to drink and lie down first.

Li Yu doesn't know whether the wine is good or not, but it's definitely a shame.

However, Cantona didn't mean to drink anymore. He said, "You're a good boy. If you don't have an appetite, the old man's vision is good, just like he introduced me at the beginning!"

Just now, Li Yu thought that the French were very bold and had a kind of pride of Northeast China. Now it seems that whenever the king of Old Trafford is still so confident, it's self-confidence. If it's good, it's self-confidence. If it's not good, it's bad, it's bad!

What can Li Yu say, "Thank you!"

"Ha ha, LI, I'm sorry. Don't be embarrassed to talk to this guy! Isn't it? Eric!" Ferguson could feel it today and was in a good mood. He didn't even say anything about drinking, but joked.

"The boss is right. If you want to conquer this place, you must have this self-confidence and aggrand. Keep working hard!" Although Cantona has left the club for many years, he still maintains the name of Ferguson during the team period. The boss teaches him very well. It seems that the relationship between the two has always been good.

Li Yu felt Cantona's love. This bold Frenchman was the former king of Manchester United and took good care of future generations.

"I will try my best. Please come to my banquet again next year!"

"Is that right!"

"Are you two going to ignore me as an old man?" Ferguson suddenly interrupted and spoke sourly.

Li Yu really heard Ferguson speak in such a tone for the first time. Obviously, he was a little slow to react. Cantona immediately took the words and said, "Boss, you'd better drink today!" He is the protagonist today!"

"Ha ha, you Frenchman, you are still the same!" Ferguson motioned Li Yu to follow him quickly. He wanted to introduce another famous predecessor of Manchester United, Bobi Charlton, to Li Yu.

Li Yu wanted to say something, but was pulled away by Ferguson, but Cantona didn't seem to mind such a move at all. He nodded to Li Yu, and then turned around and walked to the waiter again.

"Why did you find him!" Ferguson was still asking Li Yu as he walked.

"He? What's wrong, boss?"

"If I hadn't appeared, there would have been only one ending. If you drank it down, he would have nothing to do!"

"Ah, is he an alcoholic now?" Li Yu felt strange that the former king of Manchester United has now become an alcoholic.

"Of course not. He likes to pour down his younger generation. You think he cares about you very much, but you have to drink a glass of wine, silly boy!"

"Thank you, boss! If you want to block the wine in the future, I will be the first to come to you!" Li Yu also knew that there were no taboos today before she dared to look at the joke like this. If it were other occasions and gave him a few courage, he would not dare to say so.

"Ha ha, stinky boy!"

Sure enough, Ferguson was not annoyed. He laughed and scolded, and led Li Yu to an old man.

As the founder of the Manchester United dynasty, he can also see the old man in the stands of Old Trafford. Li Yu has long wanted to see the legendary Manchester United.

Sir Bobbi Charlton, born on October 11, 1937 in Axington, joined Manchester United at the age of 17 and remained loyal to Old Trafford until his retirement in 1973. During this period, he suffered a Munich air crash in February 1958, but survived and led the team to a new rise. In the 1960s, when he played together with Dennis Law and George Best, Manchester United won the first peak in history. He has helped the team win the league championship three times, once to the FA Cup and once to win the European championship. He played 750 games for Manchester United and scored 247 goals.

Charlton looked at the young man in front of him and sighed that it's really good to be young!

"Congratulations, young man!" With that, Sir Charlton stretched out his hand and held it together with Li Yu.

"Thank you, I wonder if you can sign me?" Li Yu's words made Ferguson so thunderous that the old man almost dropped the wine glass in his hand on the ground. Shameful guy, when can't you sign it? Now?

However, Charlton agreed happily, and he couldn't help praising Li Yu in his heart. Yes, he knew how to respect the old man of Manchester United and the tradition.

Li Yu is definitely from the bottom of her heart. Who knows that she unconsciously slapped the most comfortable flattery.

But it's Charlton's turn soon to be a little embarrassed. If you want to sign, you should give me a pen. Who will bring a signature pen to the banquet?

Li Yu also realized this problem and began to touch his pocket. Where is the pen?

Li Yu was still quick-eyed and found that there was a pen in front of the waitress's chest. He called the waitress and asked a coaster to ask Charlton to sign his name on it.

After signing, Ferguson didn't know where to go for a long time. He can't afford to lose this person!

Originally, I wanted to introduce it, but it was as if I had to sign it through the back door!

The ** of the banquet is the time when Little Trezer awarded Li Yu a club reward.

The Manchester United boss was also generous this time and gave Li Yu a new Ferrari limited-edition sports car.

In the applause of the guests off the stage, Li Yu stepped on the stage and received the car key.

The next day, Li Yu still has a half-day holiday. In the afternoon, he will return to Carrington Base to concentrate on training and preparing for the upcoming quarter-finals of the League Cup.

Manchester United will face Tottenham Hotspur at home.

Ferguson doesn't want to come back in the second round. With the advantage of the home court, he will deal with Tottenham Hotspur and save some physical energy for the upcoming Devil's schedule.

A focus match in the quarter-finals of the 2009/10 English League Cup was played at Old Trafford. Manchester United beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 at home, and Gibson scored twice.

Li Yu did not score in this game, but his performance in the whole game was not bad. It was that he attracted the defensive attention of Tottenham Hotspur to the greatest extent that he created a scoring opportunity for Gibson.

However, after the game, the media only gave Li Yu 6 points and will pass the score.

Ferguson felt that the media was too harsh on Li Yu. In his opinion, it was Li Yu's threat that other team members had enough opportunities.

The head coach's defense could not subside the voice of the media. In a game without scoring, the media pointed the finger at Li Yu.

What kind of gold plating is a regressive statement, see in the newspapers.

"Shit!" Li Yu really wants to pull the reporter who wrote this article and pulls a few big mouths. Making news is not like this. You must shut up in the next game.

Li Yu also has no other good way to have a good time. Compared with these reporters, she can only suffer losses. The only way is to use goals to make these increasingly demanding reporters shut up.

The 15th round of the league is the best time for Li Yu to turn around.

Moreover, the opponent West Ham United is not a strong team. All the media are also paying attention to Manchester United's second away journey. If Li Yu has no outstanding performance, the media will not spare his pen and ink.

In fact, Li Yu did not give this group of reporters any chance in the game that day.

This game is the 109th league match between the two clubs. Previously, Manchester United had an advantage of 48 wins, 23 draws and 37 losses, and the Red Devils maintained a complete victory and conceded only one goal in the last three encounters between the two sides, but they have lost two defeats in the last three visits to Upton Park. In this game, Carlton Cole and Behrami were absent due to injuries. In Manchester United, Vidic, Evans, O'Shea, Ferdinand and Van der Sar also played free cards. Therefore, Gary Neville was moved to the middle and Brown to guard the defensive fortress, while Fletcher was transferred to the right back position to fill the vacancy, and the midweek League Cup got a break. Rooney returned to the starting lineup and Li Yu formed the Manchester United attack arrow of this game, while Owen sat on the bench. At the same time, this game was also the 1300th official game led by Ferguson to Manchester United.

As a guest against Manchester United at Upton Park, relying on each goal from Scholes, Gibson, Li Yu and Rooney to sweep West Ham United with 34 points and continue to chase the "leader" Chelsea. Although veteran Giggs did not score in this game, he also performed well and assisted.

However, the crisis of Manchester United's central defender intensified in this game. Neville, who played as a guest-back, was injured halfway, causing Carrick to put out the fire to fill the vacancy. Before the end, another central defender Wes Brown left early when the team ran out of substitution.

Li Yu scored a goal, and the media shut up, but they did not weaken their interest in Manchester United at all. They changed the protagonist and pushed another player to the newspaper to attract the attention of readers.

Gibson's strong rise in a style similar to Scholes. The media couldn't help but ask if Ginger had a sense of crisis. The three dynasties of Manchester United verbally expressed the idea of retiring, but then he responded with a shot in the league. The younger boy wanted to take over, and he had to see whether the seniors nodded.

Unlike Giggs, Scholes has been a little embarrassed in the team in the past two years. His age is a big test for his attackers. Ginger Head also admitted that he was not even satisfied with his performance: "Of course, I won't say that this is my best performance. I hope to play more and score more goals, but now the situation is different. My contribution to the team does not meet my own expectations."

Scholes, who joined Manchester United at the age of 14, has been loyal to the Red Devils for 21 years, but he has only played 12 times so far this season. Most of them are still irrelevant cup games. They are no longer Ferguson's first choice, which makes Scholes a little disappointed, saying that he may choose to retire at the end of this season. After all, his contract will come in half a year. Period: "I can only play it once in two or three weeks. Only by seizing every opportunity as much as possible, every player wants to have a game every week, but I know that it can't happen. I have to accept the reality. I haven't thought about the future. I'm not sure. Let's see what will happen after the season.

If you see his performance in Scholes in Upton Park today, it is difficult to connect with his negative attitude two days ago. In the first 20 minutes of the game, Scholes completed two long-range shots, one more and more fierce, and there was no sign of being convinced. In the 30th minute, the ginger head fired for the third time, and the opponent's defender had to block it by blocking the gun.

Manchester United couldn't attack for a long time, and the draw lasted until the first half of the stoppage time. It was Scholes who knocked on the barrel for the team. Giggs' pass was cleared. Scholes' chest was steadily adjusted to the left foot position after unloading the ball. He swung his foot and shot angrily. The ball was close to the upper corner of the goal and entered the net. England's goalkeeper Green touched the ball. There is nothing we can do. The typical Scholes heavy gun is also something that Gibson admires to learn every time he trains.

Sky Sports and the Manchester City Evening News both scored 8 points for Scholes, not only because of the "explosive goal" for the team to break the deadlock, but also because "he shows how powerful the Red Devil is." Ferguson also said: "It is very important for us to score before half-time, and let the team play more steadily after taking the lead." Scholes has indeed reduced production significantly this season as he said, but the current three goals are all important goals. Previously, the two goals in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, one was the "3-pointer" of defeating Besiktas 1-0 away, and the other was also the key goal from 1-3 to 2-3 in the home against CSKA.

Scholes recently praised Giggs as "the greatest player in Manchester United's history". Obviously, he envies the latter's current state and the magic of being able to squeeze into the top 15 of the Golden Ball Award at the age of 35. However, in terms of contributions to Manchester United in the past 10 years, Ginger Head may not be as inferior to Giggs. Among other things, today's goal is Scholes' 99th league goal, only one step away from the Premier League's 100 goals.

25 goals in the Champions League, surpassing Giggs. Although General Welsh Flying has 11 Premier League Gold Cups, the last nine Premier League champions of Manchester United are also condensed with ginger sweat and blood. Whether Manchester United or the Premier League want to choose the best of the decade, no one can rule out Scholes.

Suppress first and then promote, which not only does not offend the players, but also attracts the attention of the public. The media still loves Manchester United veterans. When can Li Yu get such treatment!

The media vs. Gingerhead. Because Manchester United won the opponent away from home, the other player didn't have such good luck, because Chelsea lost the game.

Manchester City's home game with Chelsea lasted until the 82nd minute. At this time, Manchester City led 2-1. Drogba broke through with the ball in the penalty area and was put down by Onoha, and the referee immediately awarded a penalty. Lampard shot into the lower left corner. Jivin made a correct judgment and bravely saved the penalty. Chelsea unfortunately missed the opportunity to equalize the score. Because Lampard missed the penalty, Chelsea also suffered the third loss of the season. After this round, Chelsea's lead at the top of the list instantly disappeared, giving up the first place.

Lampard's loss of a penalty is not the real excuse for Chelsea's loss. Looking at the statistics of both sides can explain everything. There were three goals in the whole game, none of which was scored by Chelsea. The goal led by the Blues was just Adebayor's own goal. The shooting ratio is 16-12, the corner kick is 9-6, and the yellow card is 1-6. It can be said that Chelsea has no leading offensive data, which can be called a complete defeat. If Lampard scored a penalty kick and scored a point for Chelsea, it would be quite unfair to this pile of data.

As the number one player in Chelsea's penalty, Lampard has few missed a penalty record. One of the most famous was England's quarter-final match against Portugal in the 2006 World Cup. At that time, Lampard lost a penalty kick in the penalty shootout, and eventually England was eliminated. Of course, no one is perfect. Penalty kicks are based on mentality and willpower. In today's world football, no one can hit a 100% penalty. Although Lampard lost a one-point draw, he can't hide his excellent performance this season. In 17 games this season, he has contributed 5 goals and 8 assists to the team. Although the number of goals has decreased compared with the same period, such data is good enough.

Before this game, the media public opinion gave three "chicken ribs" records that Chelsea will hit, followed by Chelsea and Manchester City's victory in the past 8 confrontations, 10 victories in the past 12 away games, and 12 clean sheets in the past 14 official games. However, with Chelsea's defeat at home in Manchester City, these records are all ancient and can only become records for future generations to read. Of course, Lampard cannot be blamed for the loss of these records, because even if the penalty is scored, the 2-2 draw will not continue the record.

After the game, the British media Sky Sports scored the game. Chelsea will get low scores, especially the players in the frontcourt. Except for Anelka, they all got failed. Lampard was one of them and only got a poor 5 points, which also shows Chelsea's attack in this game. The team is weak, and it is inevitable that the team will lose. Ancelotti admitted at the post-match press conference that his team was not good and revealed that captain Terry was injured. Coupled with the loss to Blackburn in the League Cup, Chelsea has suffered two consecutive defeats. It seems that if the team is not adjusted in time, Manchester United may get rid of Chelsea in the next game!
