β¦β¦
The post-game interview was done by Allardyce himself, he originally wanted to take Leander out to show off, but the kid was shouting hunger in the locker room, and it was not easy to be a coach to be wronged, plus the game itself attracted the attention of the world, and the exposure was enough, so it didn't matter if he showed his face or not.
The decision was really not wrong, if the camera of Leander was definitely aimed at him, who would want to listen to the head coach's nonsense, because the protagonist was not there, the media could only patiently let Allardyce brag about himself.
"In August, Leander handed me a personal information, which I happened to see, and it was not very impressive, and I could only roughly judge his physical condition by a specific value. I was free at the time, so I asked my assistant to tell him to try out at Blackburn and it turned out very badly. β
"He's like a layman, he's an amateur in every way, and he has four advantages: speed, strength, and explosiveness...... as well as being good-looking. β
When Allardyce said this, the reporters couldn't help but laugh, and he himself shook his head and continued: "I mean the same thing as the coaching staff, his skills at this age are not up to the requirements of the Premier League, I hope he can choose a new career and not be obsessed with football." Before the words could be conveyed, Leander shot on goal, and it was that goal that made me see the qualities of a top striker from him, and I resolutely signed him. β
As soon as the words fell, a reporter raised his hand and asked: "Hello Mr. Allardyce, I am a reporter from The Guardian, may I ask which academy player is Don?" Is his game really that bad? β
"In fact, he hasn't had any formal training, and he's been honing his skills almost in the last three months."
Everyone's eyes lit up again, if there was no moisture in these words, he was a real genius!
"Can you talk about what drove such a handsome lad to go to professional football? His appearance is more suitable for the fashion circle. β
Sam Allardyce shrugged, "Maybe I'm tired of being a fan...... Who knows? You'll have to ask him about it. β
Tired of being a fan???
Blackburn Rovers has such a great fan!
According to official information, Don is not from Lancashire, he was born and raised in Newcastle...... Blackburn's charisma is so great that he can compete with the magpies. β
In line with the principle of being angry and one counting, Allardyce revealed the truth with a smile: "No, no, you probably misunderstood, he never had a fan of Blackburn before signing with the team. Leander was very loyal to Newcastle, and after the Magpies were relegated, he followed the team from place to place, and he played every game...... In the penultimate round of League One, Newcastle defeated Plymouth away to qualify for the Premier League in advance, he was so happy that he had a car accident on the way back, it was a very tragic car accident, because during the World Cup, there was no big report, it was because of that accident, Leander lost his parents, and after recovering from his injury, he chose a new future - to become a player and play for his beloved team. β
Wait a minute.
So he should go to Newcastle, how did he get to the violent Ben? That's not right!
The news media are all human spirits, and they immediately made up n possibilities, and they vaguely felt that they had grasped the point, and if, as Allardyce said, Don was really bad at the beginning, except for that face and body, then he was very likely to not meet Newcastle's criteria for selecting players.
If that's the case, it's definitely the biggest own goal of the season! Give away the demon star, and the magpie loses a lot!
The press corps and Allardyce stumbled, they didn't care about Ferguson at all, they had to know more β‘β‘, the Blackburn coach sighed, said: "According to his own words, I handed over the information several times, but I didn't hear the good news, and then I contacted other teams, and it was the same result, I received our trial notice in mid-August, when the summer transfer market was going to be closed, I am very proud to be able to discover such a player, Leander will consciously practice every day, never complaining about being tired, He's a very professional player, he's great! β
Everyone who heard this, including media reporters, including staff, including Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, couldn't help but feel sorry for Newcastle.
Giving away such a football demon star, standing in Blackburn's position: the great kindness is really unforgettable.
The plot is so bloody that it is no wonder that Allardyce is happy to announce it.
Even if the club and myself don't take the initiative to mention it, the British media can dig out all the experiences of Leander from childhood to adulthood, who made him not only look handsome but also play so well, who let him overturn the giant Manchester United!
β¦β¦
What is Leander doing at this time?
He bought and bought at the fast food restaurant next to the Old Trafford stadium, and in order to avoid being recognized, he specially asked the staff to borrow a down jacket, hat, scarf and mask.
Sneaking out with Leander was Jones, a homegrown player of normal height and complexion, who was disguised as a food delivery throughout the whole time, and was about to take off his equipment when he returned to the away dressing room when he noticed that the atmosphere was wrong.
Wayne Rooney, Michael Carrick and Rio Ferdinand.
The front, middle and back are all in line, what are Manchester United going to do?
Leander nodded at them, and without saying a word, he put the two pockets in his hand on the ground and handed out the large and small boxes of takeaway to his teammates: "I'll invite you today, everyone can eat!" β
Samba supports his forehead, shouldn't expect too much from him, the so-called treat is to eat takeaway next to Old Trafford? As a rising future superstar, it's also drunk to slam the door like this! While Samba was still struggling, Leander stuffed a box for each of his teammates, and he looked at the three Manchester United players who were stunned on the side, feeling as if he was not very kind, and handed them three copies.
After being a professional player for so many years, this kind of thing has never happened, Rooney's action of taking the fast food box is mechanical, and he hasn't come back to his senses for a long time, looking at him like this, Leander frowned: "What are you doing standing stupidly?" Eat them all! Don't save me money! β¦β¦ Ran so long and starved to death! β
Rooney couldn't help but glance at Jones, who is also a local player, and he wanted to ask, is this kid really the No. 11 who is so sharp on the pitch that he doesn't want to cry with a handsome face to all England female fans?
The image and setting seem to be a little inconsistent.
Leander happily nibbled on two chicken legs, and after his hunger was relieved, he remembered the sports news he had watched these days, and he finally recognized the English golden boy Lu Xiaopang!!
"I grew up watching your games! Please exchange jerseys with me! Leander was thinking that the United star's signed shirt would sell for a lot of money, and he didn't realise what he was talking about...... Because of these two sentences, Lin Ganqi, who was sitting in the corner and munching on chicken legs, choked.
"Ahem...... cough cough cough cough ......"
Seeing that he was choking on tears, Leander also glanced back at his teammates and expressed his love and concern: "You eat slowly, don't worry, there is still in the box." β
_(:3γβ )_
Just like that, being labeled as a foodie is also drunk.
What's more upset is Rooney, they came first to exchange jerseys, and secondly, everyone is England players and should be in touch more...... Because of this game, Rooney regarded Leander as a fierce rival, and thought that the next time they met on the court, they must win back, and this breath was extinguished before it was forced to be extinguished after half an hour. Is this really the one who tore apart Manchester United's entire defence and scored a hat-trick at Old Trafford? You tease me!
On this day, Rooney posted a photo of himself and Leander on Facebook, with a cup of Coke and several large boxes of fried chicken thighs in the background. The message was retweeted wildly and instantly received 50,000 likes.
"Ahhh......hhh Lu Xiaopang, you are too cunning! Actually went to the away team's locker room to hook up with don! β
"There's a kind of sending photos, there's a kind of you, Ait-ta! Hand over my male god's ID! β
