Chapter 512: Ferguson Guarding Calves
Referee Bol was the starter
He was busy digging cards.
Campbell's red card!
Diop red card!
Distin red card!
Three Portsmouth were sent off, including two centre-backs and one midfielder.
Yang Fan red card!
Tevez red card!
Carrick accumulates yellow cards and is sent off!
Two strikers and one back were sent off, the only consolation is that when Yang Fan was injured and went to the sidelines for treatment, Manchester United quickly completed the substitution, Welbeck replaced Yang Fan, so Yang Fan was replaced and then shown a red card, so, on the field, Manchester United is nine people, Portsmouth is eight people.
The final result of the game was a 2-1 victory for Manchester United against Portsmouth. Yang Fan came off the bench and scored two goals, which was the biggest contributor to Manchester United's victory!
Manchester United won the Charity Shield, winning their first trophy of the 2008/2009 season.
It was a victory and a title, but it was a pyrrhic victory for Manchester United and Alex Ferguson.
Carlos Tevez and Yang Fan were sent off with red cards, and given that both men were hands-on, it was almost certain that they would be heavily punished by the FA.
In addition, Yang Fan was tackled by the opponent and left the field, although further diagnosis reports have not yet come out, but, according to the preliminary judgment of Manchester United's chief team doctor Swell, the situation is not optimistic. At the very least, you should take a break of two or three months.
This could not be worse news for Alex Ferguson, who has ambitions to lead Manchester United to dominate Europe again this season.
And after the clash, for the rest of the game, it was as if the players on both sides had become enemies, and the players on both sides moved more and more on the pitch.
Portsmouth full-back Hredasson fouled Ryan Giggs and the veteran went off injured, and by that time the Reds had run out of substitutions. Only eight people can fight. Of course, they still have one more person than Portsmouth, with Hredasson accumulating two yellow cards and being sent off.
In one game, the referee showed eight red cards just by showing red cards!
This is absolutely unprecedented!
When the game entered injury time, the excited coaching staff of the two sides also clashed on the sidelines.
Redknapp went up to hug Hredasson, who was red-carded for allegedly fouling Ryan Giggs, as if to welcome a hero. His move provoked a fury from Ferguson, who rushed up to Redknapp and confronted, "This is your team!
Redknapp also responded unceremoniously, "You should go and ask the Chinese and Argentines what they did?!"
"You wait for me, this matter is not over!" It's okay not to mention Yang Fan and Tevez, mentioning this, Ferguson is even more violent, if it weren't for what Campbell did, there would be no follow-up. Speaking of which, Campbell is the culprit.
If it weren't for the fourth official to intervene, these two equally grumpy managers would really have had a real fight on the sidelines. [I love to read]
At the end of the game, there was a huge boo from the stands, even when the players from both sides took the stage to receive the silver medal and the championship trophy.
Charles, Prince of Wales, who was in charge of presenting the awards to the players, was also embarrassed, as if the fans were booing him, even though he knew it wasn't the case.
"It was a terrible night. Prince Charles and Ferguson hugged and said, "Congratulations to Manchester United, you deserve to be champions." ”
"Thank you. Ferguson said expressionlessly, and it was difficult for the angry old Scottish man to have a good face even in the face of the prince.
※※※※※※※
The press conference was crowded, all the reporters were waiting here, this game was simply too hot, it was a rare scene in ten years.
Now, the biggest concern for these reporters is whether Ferguson or Redknapp will refuse to attend the press conference, and if that is the case, it would be a shame. You know, the smell of hot gunpowder after the game is no less than during the game.
To the surprise and surprise of the reporters, neither Ferguson nor Redknapp missed the post-game press conference, and both of them came.
Both of them had gloomy faces, and when they met, Redknapp reluctantly stretched out his hand to shake hands with Ferguson, in front of Ferguson, he was indeed underqualified. However, Ferguson ignored the Portsmouth manager's outstretched hand, which made Redknapp's face change and he snorted heavily, this Scotsman is really ungraceful.
As soon as the host announced the start of the press conference, Ferguson fired directly: "This game, we won, but I'm not happy at all, this game is just terrible!"
"Jazz, are you disappointed with the behavior of some of your players. A reporter stood up and shouted.
Ferguson first glared at the reporter viciously, the reporter of the "Sun", you again, remember you.
Then he said, "I'm so proud of my players! I don't think my players have anything to blame, they're doing a good job, they're worthy of the Manchester United shirt and I'm proud of their watch......
When Redknapp heard this, he immediately interrupted Ferguson's words: "Excuse me, are you proud of Tevez's punch, or are you proud of Yang Fan's violent kick!"
Ferguson's face turned even redder with anger, and he turned his head to look at Redknapp as if he were an enraged bullfight, with anger in his nostrils, "At least my players have a good work ethic and won't make deliberately hurtful moves on the field!"
"Ha, you're saying that deliberately hitting someone is a work ethic?" Redknapp said sarcastically, then defended Campbell, "It was just an accident! Campbell didn't want to hurt anyone, it's normal to have an accident on the court!"
"Accidentally, you're numb. Ferguson, snarling at Redknapp like a man-eating bear, "Do you dare to say that again? I swear, I'll smash your mouth!"
Redknapp was obviously frightened, and then angry! He didn't expect Ferguson to be so rude on such an occasion, but he wasn't good either, "Mr. Ferguson, you are a man of status, please be careful with your words. Then he continued, "I want to teach the Chinese more!"
"You don't aim at Yang Fan, why did he beat the Senegalese, you should know. ”
"You know why Diop beat Tevez. He's going to do it to Campbell!"
"Well done Argentine, I'm going back to give him a medal! And Campbell, if my players have any strengths and weaknesses, he'll wait for me!"
Originally, there were reporters who were going to ask questions, but now they wouldn't be so stupid to ask questions and interrupt these two people. Watching the two managers scold and fight like shrews on the street, and almost fight, such a scene is rare in ten years, not to mention, one of them is the godfather of Manchester United Ferguson.
One by one, they looked at these two excitedly, as if they were red-eyed fighting cocks.
"If it weren't for Campbell's malicious tackle, would there have been so many things? This bastard, he deliberately shoveled my people, and he went up to continue to provoke! This is your player, what kind of player is really any coach. Ferguson was completely out of anger, scolded Campbell, and scolded Redknapp, even Campbell's old club Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was suspected of being shot while lying down, "Don't tell me anything about Yang Fan's deliberate provocation after scoring a goal, if you are not blind, you should see Campbell provoking Yang Fan before! Why, you can't afford to lose! The root of a qiē is your people's problem, don't want to pour dirty water on my players! My players are just hot-blooded, and they can't get used to some bad behavior!"
In the end, Ferguson did not forget to defend his players, he used the word 'bloody' and put all the blame on the Portsmouth side, his players were innocent and were only forced to fight back.
Hearing this, some reporters were pouting and kicking the opponent directly, this is really not an ordinary 'hot blood', everyone knows that you are Ferguson calf protector, but this can't be so shameless.
After Ferguson squirted saliva on the ground, he left a sentence, "I don't play this thing, I won't watch my players be wronged and suffer, I want to help them get justice." ”
The lungs of the reporters in Portsmouth are about to explode, this old Scottish man is really faceless and skinless! What's more, they think that Redknapp's appearance today is really weak, although it doesn't look weak, but when facing Ferguson, he was completely suppressed by the aura of this Scotsman!
After venting his anger, Ferguson shook his hand, didn't even say a word of goodbye to the opposing manager, and turned away.
Redknapp was angry, he pointed in the direction where Ferguson left, so angry that he couldn't speak, this Scotsman was too much, his players started to hit people, he was justified!
"Hmph. The wicked sue first!" Redknapp was so angry that he got up and left the table.
The two head coaches left, leaving only a room full of excited-looking reporters, which is really an absolutely hot drama!
※※※※※※※
Ferguson did not return to the dressing room after leaving the press conference, arranging for assistant coach Mike Phelan to calm the players and he himself went to the local hospital in Cardiff.
Outside the ward, Ferguson had a brief communication with Manchester United's chief team doctor, Swell, and they were about to prepare for a consultation just after Yang Fan's X-ray.
At the moment, the injury is slightly better than expected, which is a bit of a relief to Ferguson. However, it is only slightly better.
"How's he doing?" Ferguson asked.
"I don't know how to describe it. "He's been silent and he's not talking, but as you can imagine, it's a special game for him, it's his first game for Manchester United, he's perfect, but something like this happened all of a sudden." ”
Ferguson nodded in understanding, and came to Manchester United with great ambition, wanting to make a big difference, scoring two goals in the first game, but was maliciously tackled...... This is a big ups and downs, and it must be very bad.
However, this kid, he is injured, and he can still jump up and kick people! Thinking of this, Ferguson gritted his teeth, you said you bastard boy, if you don't jump up and kick people, then, in this matter, Yang Fan is a complete victim, Manchester United has stood on the moral high ground to fight a lawsuit with Portsmouth, but, this bastard, is injured and jumps up and kicks people.
"He's all wounded, and he's still kicking. Ferguson snorted angrily.
"This is not a loser to lose. "However, I also know what happened, and Yang should be said to be quite restrained, he didn't do anything even if he was tackled on the court, and he did it later, it was also to avenge the Argentine." ”
"I know that. Ferguson rubbed his temples, he was still satisfied with this, which showed that Yang Fan was not the kind of thorn who didn't care about anything, and he was still more able to control his feelings. Of course, it's just that it's more controllable.
However, this does not mean that Ferguson is not angry, not angry, what he thinks is that he can't forgive this kid lightly. Gotta clean up.
Ferguson suddenly felt that this matter was not entirely a bad thing, if he could take advantage of this incident to clean up Yang Fan and tame this stubborn foal, it would be a bad thing to turn into a good thing.
Ferguson made up his mind. For the thorn players, he has encountered a lot, and there are ways to clean up.
"Sir, go in and see him. ”
Ferguson nodded, picking up his pace. In his mind, he was thinking about how to tame this fiery foal.
If it can be tamed, this is the foundation of a dynasty of Manchester United!
