Chapter 720: Goodbye, Thank You, and Sorry
At the end of the first half, the score was 1-1.
Commentators and commentators also commented on the first half of the game at halftime.
Objectively speaking, the first half of the game could not be called very 'fine', which is not the same as the expectation of some 'fans' to expect a goal battle.
Two goals, Yang Fan's goal on Manchester United's side was mainly due to Chelsea's own mistakes, and Chelsea's goal was Lampard's long-range 'shot' on the Manchester United player's folded 'shot'. In terms of the spectacle of the goal, it can hardly be called a beautiful goal.
However, this is the true face of the final. Some commentators lamented that the finals were relatively conservative and cautious, such as the 5-4 score between Manchester United and Barcelona in the Champions League final, which can be said to be a rare situation in half a century. You can't expect every final to be so big, either.
On the Internet, the first half of the game is also being discussed.
When it comes to Yang Fan's goal, the general attitude of the ball 'fans' is that Yang Fan will definitely be able to score such a goal opportunity, and the biggest focus of this goal is not Yang Fan but Bosingwa, and the low-level mistakes of the Portuguese defenders have shocked and felt incredible for many Chelsea fans.
In addition, Frank Lampard's goal caused even more heated discussions.
The long-range 'shot' is Lampard's signature 'sexual' way of scoring, his long-range 'shot' is powerful, often bouncing off the ground or splitting 'shot', which catches the opposition defenders and 'goalkeepers' off guard, and this goal is a 'shot' score, which also makes the 'fans' of the ball start to talk about it.
In the media and among fans, Frank Lampard has been nicknamed the 'King'. As the name suggests, his long-range 'shots' often hit the opposing player, resulting in a folded 'shot' and then going into the net. Frank Lampard has been known as the 'shot' king since Euro 2004, a mockery of Lampard by some other non-England and Chelsea fans.
The nickname, in some eyes, is a compliment to Frank Lampard, while in some people's mouth, it is a sarcasm for the Chelsea vice-president, meaning he will do nothing but score with a fold.
This time, this refraction 'shot' score, as expected, once again caused heated discussions on the Internet. Or, rather, a quarrel.
"Can he score goals other than a 'shot'?"
"Fart, isn't it because the other party knows that Lampard's 'shot' and 'goal' are so good to block it, otherwise they will get out of the way and 'shoot' him?"
"He's just eating by luck. ”
"The occasional refraction 'shot' can be said to be luck, but have you ever seen so many refraction 'shots' into the net...... Moreover, the refraction of 'shooting' often misleads the 'goalkeeper'...... The team's vice-ball quotient is a high ......"
"It's enough to be able to score a goal, and the fold 'shot' is also kicked by yourself, is it difficult to stuff it with your hands?"
"That's right, what's wrong with the refraction shot? ”
There are also people who analyze from a technical point of view, complaining about Lampard, "In fact, he "folded" the goal "to score, from the path of the ball, if no one touches it, it is also a must-score; ”

In the dressing room of Manchester United, Ferguson looked at his disciple with some concern, Manchester United fought fiercely in the first half, and the physical fitness in the second half of the second half will be a big test for them.
In such a situation, the best thing United should do is to score as many goals as possible in the second half to take the lead. The longer the game drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for Manchester United, and extra time will be avoided by Manchester United, and once it goes into extra time, the advantage of Chelsea, who are more physically prepared and prepared, will be more and more reflected.
Alex Ferguson made the necessary tactical adjustments and arrangements for the second half, leaving a few minutes for the players to be left to themselves.
Yang Fan had just finished the physiotherapist's massage of his big 'legs' when he saw Cristiano Ronaldo walking towards him. The Portuguese teammate seemed to want to say something, hesitated for a moment, but shook his head and walked away.
"Hey, Cristiano. Yang Fan shouted in a low voice, "Man, is there something wrong?"
Cristiano Ronaldo looked at Yang Fan and finally spoke, "Yang, I'm sure you should have heard those rumors." ”
"What rumors?" Yang Fan asked.
"Dude, don't be funny, you know what I'm talking about. ”
"Uh, okay. Yang Fan scratched his head, "Have you really made up your mind?"
Cristiano Ronaldo nodded.
"Real Madrid?" Yang Fan asked in a lower voice again.
Cristiano Ronaldo nodded, "I think it's not a secret to many people. ”
"How much is the transfer fee? It must be a record. Yang Fan was gossipy.
Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't stop crying, and then he said seriously, "Yang, listen, man." It's been a fun season with you and I'm glad to have had that opportunity. ”
"Me too. We're a good match. Yang Fan said.
"Good partner?" Cristiano Ronaldo said the word.
"Of course, isn't it?" Yang Fan said with a smile, "You see, although it wasn't tacit at first, but, later, I passed the ball to you, you gave me an assist, and the two of us scored a lot of goals together." Isn't that a good match? ”
"Yes, definitely. Cristiano Ronaldo also smiled, he knew the reason for the lack of tacit understanding between the two people Yang Fan referred to at the beginning, there has always been a competitive relationship between the two people, and at that time they both wanted to press each other, Yang Fan wanted to prove that he was not worse than Ronaldo, and the latter wanted to maintain his status as the first brother of Manchester United. This made it very difficult for the two people to cooperate tacitly, of course, this situation has changed greatly in the future, especially after Yang Fan came out for Cristiano Ronaldo in the match with 'Bo'ertu, although there is still a zài competition between the two people, but they also cooperate quite well.
The two chatted a few more words. The last words are more like a high-spirited 'parting war'.
"Perhaps, the next time we meet, it will be an opponent. Cristiano Ronaldo said, "I'm not going to give you a chance to surpass me." ”
"Then we'll see. Yang Fan said with a smile.
Then, both laughed.
Afterwards, Cristiano Ronaldo chatted with Nani, and he was surprised to see that Yang Fan was talking to other players, and someone was still looking at him.
This made Cristiano Ronaldo unhappy, could it be that Yang Fan is a big mouth, talking about him? Although it is no secret that Cristiano Ronaldo is going to transfer to Real Madrid, he has not publicly admitted it. In this case, if Yang Fan said it everywhere with a big mouth, it would be quite inappropriate.
In fact, Cristiano Ronaldo at this time is a little lost, last season, he was still the banner of Manchester United, the core, but now, in the Manchester United team, his position has been shaken, and Yang Fan has replaced him. It can be said that if the internal voting of Manchester United players is now, Yang Fan's votes must exceed that of his Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ferguson demanded an early goal in the second half for Manchester United, and Chelsea did the same, with Guus Hiddink again demanding of his players at half-time to put pressure on United's 'goal' at the start of the second half.
The second half was getting better and better, thanks to Chelsea's late equaliser, and Chelsea were hoping to overtake the lead once again. Without Frank Lampard's goal, the pace of the second half wouldn't have been as fast.
Guus Hiddink didn't sit in his seat since the start of the second half, he stood on the sidelines, shouting incessantly, and he took the victory very seriously. This is the only title Chelsea can compete for this season, and in order to avoid the embarrassment of the big four, the FA Cup title is a must.
However, Hiddink also thinks the same as Ferguson, for Ferguson, when he retires, to be able to win the quadruple and achieve unprecedented greatness in the history of football, this is definitely the most fantastic way to retire.
As a result, both managers looked a little impatient at the start of the second half, shouting from the sidelines to remind their teams to stay in shape and focus on attacking.
"It's not like Sir Alex Ferguson's style. Lineker quipped, "He wasn't as calm as he used to be when he played today. ”
"It's the last game, so I don't want to leave any regrets. Mortenson said.
※※※※※※※
Despite the desire for both sides to score, neither side had too many chances to score, and the fatigue of the United players began to show, while Chelsea's side had no problem pushing forward to the penalty area, but could not really form a dangerous attack. United tightened their defence against Didier Drogba in the second half, and the Ivory Coast star looked like he couldn't do much in the face of Nemanja Vidic's marking.
In the seventy-first minute of the game, Yang Fan received a pass from Park Ji-sung in the front court, and he passed the football to Rooney. I want to do a wall collision with Rooney. In fact, Rooney thought the same way, he suddenly turned around and 'inserted' the penalty area after seeing Yang Fan's pass. and launched a direct pass.
However, Frank Lampard saw through the simple tactical combination of United's forward partner, and he rushed up and stopped the attack by a decisive foul just as Yang Fan was about to turn around when he received the ball.
Referee Bore's whistle blew and Frank Lampard fouled and United were awarded a free-kick some 278 metres from the goal.
By the time Frank Lampard pulled Yang Fan up, Cristiano Ronaldo had already run over, holding the ball and looking in the direction of the goal.
"Cristiano Ronaldo holds the ball. Looks like he's going to take the free-kick!" Lineker shouted, "This is United's chance! ”
Petr Cech was a little nervous to see Ronaldo holding the ball for the free-kick and he shouted to direct the Chelsea players to line up the wall.
Cristiano Ronaldo had carefully placed the football on the turf by this point, and then he took two steps back, his feet back and forth, and watched the Chelsea man line up like that.
Yang Fan suddenly came up and stood in front of the ball and high-fived Cristiano Ronaldo. "Come on, man!" he turned and walked away.
Cristiano Ronaldo was still in a daze, and then he saw Ryan Giggs come up and high-five him, "Come on!
After Ryan Giggs, it was Park Ji-sung and then Carrick, and there were many more, and almost all the players came over to give their Portuguese team-mates a high-five, except for the 'goalkeeper' Van der Sar, who was far in front of his own 'goal', only Rooney did not come.
Eventually, the little fat man came, and he said, "We used to be good brothers, and although something happened later, but, uh, that, I gotta say, you are indeed a great fellow, a trustworthy teammate, uh, -- come on, man." Finally, Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo high-fived, and then the little fat man turned and ran away.
Cristiano Ronaldo was stunned at this time, he was completely subconsciously high-five with his teammates just now. At this time, when he came back to his senses, a kind of 'tide' called moving flowed in the heart of this 'sexual' proud Portuguese, and he suddenly understood that this was what Yang Fan and other teammates were muttering and talking about just now......
"These guys. Cristiano Ronaldo took a deep breath and the corners of his eyes were a little 'damp'. A player can't have a good relationship with every one of his teammates, and even has a bad relationship, but when he is about to leave the team, a competitor he has always been able to send parting blessings in this way, which is enough to move anyone.
He knew that this might not mean that he and Yang Fan became good brothers, but this was the farewell of teammates and comrades-in-arms, and the commemoration of the years they fought together!
Come on, teammates!
As long as you are wearing the same jersey at the moment, we are teammates, comrades-in-arms, teammates who work together, sweat together, and cry together!
The next moment, you change into a different jersey, we meet again, then let's fight!
Both the TV broadcaster and the announcer noticed what was happening on the field.
"Let's see what's going on on the pitch...... Ah, Yang Fan came up and high-fived Ronaldo, and then the others...... They all came up...... Rooney came up too, what were they talking about......" Lineker said, and a word popped into his head, is this a farewell?
"Is this a Manchester United player saying goodbye to Cristiano Ronaldo?" Mortensen said a question mark on everyone's mind, "The story between World Footballer of the Year and Real Madrid has never ended, and there is news that Cristiano Ronaldo will move to Real Madrid at the end of the season, which will result in the most expensive transfer fee in the history of football, and now it seems that this rumor is very likely to be true." ”
"Yang Fan was the first to come up and high-five Ronaldo, Rooney was the last, these two people, one is Ronaldo's main competitor in the team, and the other is the relationship with Ronaldo, we don't need to say more. Their actions are all the more touching in moments like these......"
Ferguson watched with some surprise at what happened on the field, he really didn't expect to see it. Cristiano Ronaldo's current position in the Manchester United team is awkward, on the one hand, the Portuguese is the team's number one star, and on the other hand, the disconnected link between him and Real Madrid has caused a gap between him and his teammates, which also makes some people have an opinion about Ronaldo.
In such a situation, it is no wonder that Ferguson would be surprised.
Of course, Ferguson is happy to see this scene, although he is very unhappy with Cristiano Ronaldo's insistence on defecting to Real Madrid, but when a qiē is a foregone conclusion and a qiē cannot be stopped, in this case, let Ronaldo leave and earn a sky-high transfer fee for Manchester United, while the team can bid farewell to an era and Manchester United during the Cristiano Ronaldo period in such a warm way, which is also a good thing. At the very least, in the eyes of outsiders, this is touching and tear-jerking.
Of course, Ferguson also has to admit that Cristiano Ronaldo should be worthy of this kind of farewell when he leaves, and his contribution to Manchester United deserves this treatment. It's just that many players are dissatisfied with Cristiano Ronaldo's insistent transfer, so this scene is almost impossible to happen, but I didn't expect that under the leadership of Yang Fan, an agreement was reached and there was such a touching scene.
Therefore, Ferguson is most happy to see Yang Fan's role in this matter, in his opinion, this at least shows two points, one is that Yang Fan's status and influence in the Manchester United team, it is not easy to convince the whole team to make such a move, because Ferguson knows that other players may not be willing to do so. The other is what Yang Fan did in this matter, which is more like what a team leader should do.
A close-up of Cristiano Ronaldo appeared on the TV screen, and the World Footballer of the Year at this time had a firm look in his eyes and a serious expression.
Some commentators are speculating that Cristiano Ronaldo is thinking at this time?
Nobody knows.
The referee's whistle sounded.
Cristiano Ronaldo runs, kicks, 'shoots' and 'goals'!
The ball went straight over the wall, a wonderful arc, straight to the goal, Cech flew to pounce, but when the ball rose to the top, it suddenly fell rapidly!
Then, as everyone saw it, the ball fell from above Cech's left hand and smashed into the net behind him.
"Hooray!"
"Hooray, Manchester United!"
"Cristiano Ronaldo!"
The United players ran to Cristiano Ronaldo to celebrate the goal with him, but the Portuguese was already running, breaking through the 'block' of his team-mates, rushing to the sidelines, and then hugging the unsuspecting Ferguson all at once, hugging him tightly.
"Boss, I'm sorry...... Cristiano Ronaldo cried out, "thank you!"
He knew that he insisted on a transfer, which broke Ferguson's heart hard. Yang Fan and the other teammates' actions just now made this proud star's heart suddenly soft, and he felt guilty in his heart, at least, at this moment, he really wanted to say sorry and thank you to this old man who single-handedly cultivated him.
Although football transfer is not about right or wrong, at this moment, this sorry and thank you is enough to move anyone.
Goodbye, thanks, sorry...... There are some things that are not easy to say......
