28. Chapter 28
Shearer's inner pain is understood by the players, and by the more than 50,000 fans in the stadium, but they really can't stand the arrogance of Manchester United......
Hey 999 (UK police number), they are going to call the police!
No matter how depressed the Magpies are, at least the Red Devils fans are satisfied. They really didn't expect the Red Devils to play so well when Rio Ferdinand, Keane and Juan were all unplayed, and they were satisfied. It's just that looking at today's game, the tandem game is actually on the wings on both sides?
After the game, the lord turned around and wanted to go to the press conference, but Juan stopped him: "Sir, please wait a minute, your face is not very good." ”
Although the lord is still standing on the sidelines to coach in this game, his face is indeed not very good, and the heart that has just been used makes him seem to consume a lot of physical energy, but the stubborn old man has not come out so far.
"I know, but those pesky journalists have to be dealt with somebody." The lord narrowed his eyes, he hated those media reporters deeply, he didn't want to pay attention to them every time, he didn't pick on them once or twice, and his relationship with media reporters was never good.
If it weren't for the fact that the FA couldn't make excuses to do something about Manchester United now......
Hum.
The lord snorted coldly in his heart, and then patted Juan on the shoulder: "You hurry up and let those players clean up, and we'll go back." ”
"Okay." Juan nodded, turned and took two steps, but stopped in his tracks.
"Sir!" Ferguson walked a few steps and heard someone calling behind him, and when he turned around, Juan looked at him with a smile, "I'll help you go to the press conference." ”
He naturally knew how much of a fire the lord had in front of the media reporters in the last game against Blackburn - although it was a TV broadcast after the passage - but he also knew that the lord would have to face all the storms when he went out now, although the lord's big heart might not feel anything, but Juan still felt that he had an obligation to help the lord share some of it.
At least if he goes out, those people's attention will be more focused on him, right?
The lord naturally understood what he meant, and sneered: "Good boy, you look down on me? ”
Seeing that the lord did not mean to refuse him, Juan hurriedly took two steps forward and followed behind the lord and said with a smile: "No, it's just that there is less work and I am in a hurry." ”
"Hey, you're still ...... panic"
When the two of them arrived at the post-match press conference, sure enough, when they saw that the person behind the lord was Juan, all the media reporters were in an uproar, and when they all sat down, one of the media reporters couldn't help but stand up immediately.
"Dias, you didn't play today!"
This questioning sentence made all four people present raise their eyebrows, and the Magpie's coach and captain were obviously also curious, so they looked in their direction silently, and said nothing, and Lord Fu also turned his head to look at Juan, who cleared his throat and leaned in front of the microphone.
"Yes."
All the reporters on the scene had the urge to cough up a mouthful of blood.
What is, we all know you didn't play today!
"Why didn't you play?" Another reporter stood up, Juan raised an eyebrow, it seems that he came to the right place today? These people seem to be holding back a lot of questions to ask him.
"The body is not supported, and it rotates normally."
Juan's answer was succinct and clear, but it was clear that journalist friends would not settle for anything more than that.
"You seemed to be helped off the pitch in the last game against Blackburn?"
Although there were many people around, it was impossible to see that Juan had fainted, but he was still photographed when he was helped off the field by Cristiano, and Juan was justified in this: "I don't have a body." ”
For the first time, the British media reporters in the "......" felt a kind of helplessness called grievance.
"But the team doctor seems to be on the field, too? If it's just a body, you don't need to do that! Some reporters still didn't give up, and Juan narrowed his eyes.
'Are we playing Blackburn Rovers or Newcastle this week, why are we still talking about the last round and a normal rotation?
It's not because your things are more greedy and valuable! You're going to say something!
Seeing that he seemed to be avoiding the question, the reporters were not discouraged, the question was not important anyway, they wanted to hear the answer to the next question.
"What do you think of the European Championship?"
- European Cup. As the host, Portugal will play directly from the group stage, so compared to the qualifying schedule of other teams, the Portuguese team is much easier, and the list of signs has not yet been announced.
This year's head coach for Portugal is Scolari, a manager who dares to bring in new people.
But the question is...... Will he be bold enough to use a semi-retired player?
Juan naturally knows what these media reporters think, which is nothing more than forcing him to express his hope in front of the camera that Scolari can recruit him, but this is no longer something he can control, after all, his appearance at Manchester United is already obvious to all, if Scolari still refuses to call him, he can only accept his fate.
But Juan, he didn't plan to say this to the reporters in front of him. His cold eyes stared at the seemingly fearless reporter, and he directly saw that he was a little lacking in confidence before he spoke calmly.
'Please respect Newcastle and this game.'
Newcastle's manager and captain were stunned, in fact, they were quite happy to watch the play, after all, every time they faced the topical Manchester United, few teams could interject, Juan Dias's words showed great respect for them, but at the same time, it also showed the intention of dragging them into the water......
It's a clever trick.
The reporters on the scene began to reluctantly throw questions in Newcastle's direction, and while they were prepared to ask Newcastle some questions, they had only one idea when they saw Dias appear.
To hell with all that Rausch problem! Grab the headlines first!
Who knew that Juan didn't answer any of their questions head-on at all, and after avoiding the weight, he kicked the ball to Newcastle, at this time it didn't look like he was on the pitch, and the adrenaline rushed when he got the ball, and now the ball was in his hand but he was in a cold sweat behind his back.
However, Newcastle are not good at stubble here, and after asking some questions, Newcastle captain Shearer moved the microphone and coughed lightly.
"Actually, I'm looking forward to playing against Dias, there is no chance in this game, and hopefully I can have that opportunity in the European Championship."
Juan's eyes flashed.
Those reporters are like sharks at this moment, and all of them are excited, and they like it very much! I don't know what Juan will answer him!
Juan just squinted his eyes.
"The decision is not in my hands."
"Are you going to take this opportunity to say something to Scolari?" The reporters on the scene are ready to move, and they have finally waited for this moment! Tomorrow's front-page headlines make or break in one fell swoop!
If Juan does say something, then their headline tomorrow will be his, and if Juan refuses to say something, then tomorrow's headline will be "Confident!" Dias refuses to shout at Scolari! ”
Either one is bad for Juan.
Juan just tilted his head at this.
"War and Art is a very good book."
The media reporters at the scene of "......" all froze, as if a soldering iron that had been burned hot was suddenly put into water, with a stinging sound and a large amount of water vapor.
What the heck?! Why don't you just want to recommend a book to your national team manager?!
"What does that mean?" Immediately, another reporter stood up, and Juan raised an eyebrow: "I've said enough." ”
"Please answer the question positively!"
"My positive answer is to refuse to answer." "Please focus on this great game, Newcastle are difficult opponents and we are glad we can get the three points, thank you." ”
Everyone at the scene had a bad premonition, but when he saw the lord who hadn't spoken during the whole process, he had a relaxed smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was very happy to see the excitement......
Seeing that the media reporters were looking in his direction, the old man smiled.
"Thank you."
Everyone was shocked, they still had a lot of questions to ask! Why are these two people leaving?!
Wait, eh, don't go!!
Ignoring the voices of the media reporters, Juan opened the door for the lord, and the two of them left very proudly, and on the way back to the locker room, the lord patted him on the shoulder with a red face: "Talent, talent!" ”
Juan doesn't talk much, but he can always take the reporters around in circles, and in any case he will not reveal the main points to them, but leave specious answers for them to guess, and the reporters are played around and jump into the pit willingly, this is a skill in speaking!
"You're wrong." Juan smiled, and then remembered something, "Ah, by the way, how many people are we going to play in the European Cup?" ”
"......" wants to sigh when it comes to this lord, compared with other Premier League clubs, Manchester United can be said to be the hardest hit area of the national team. Although it has not reached the point where most of the main substitutes have been called up like Real Madrid, several absolute main players are determined to go to the game, and what is even worse is that some of them are the captains of the national team.
What is the captain, is a player who has to play full time without any major injuries.
This glory is more than practical on the armband, and anyone will fight for it, even if it may affect their career.
Looking at the lord's expression, Hu was silent. He naturally understands what the lord means, and if Manchester United is injured one or two more at such a critical juncture in the league, all his hard work will be wasted.
"I'm really fine." Juan couldn't help but speak, "Once a week, ......"
"It's only four days before the last Blackburn game." The lord glanced at him, "Stay on the sidelines and study." ”
"Okay......" Juan was helpless, but if you think about it, he can still play without receiving the player's salary, which can be regarded as an extra favor from the lord, if he doesn't play for a season, there will be no hope of the European Championship at all.
The last few games before the group stage of the European Championship are mixed with the league and various cup competitions, Manchester United is becoming more and more stretched, and several games are close to death, almost upset by the team at the bottom of the rankings, every time Juan and the Lord are frightened, and they can't see it when they stand in the coach's box, but they hide in the lounge at halftime, and the two often cover their heads and hearts to discuss the problems of this game with each other, and finally they will be reduced to a dispute over whether to go to Juan.
Of course, it's the lord who wins every time.
It's just that every time he loses, the expression on the lord's face is gloomy, and he is even more deaf to the "Juan Dias" who shouts every time he shouts at home, and every time he sees such a scene, Juan can't help but want to sigh.
If only his body could fight a little more......
Manchester United's Champions League schedule ended early this year, and the entire first team was exhausted by the devil's schedule, injuries gradually appeared, and even Howard as a goalkeeper was tired, seeing that the whole season was about to be turned upside down.
Juan and the Lord were combined, and in a hurry, a group of people were transferred from Carrington, which was called exercise, and asked Juan and a few substitutes of the first team to take the children to play in the FA Cup, and when Juan took most of the youth team to the FA Cup, he almost rolled up his sleeves and played in spite of Mr. Smith's obstruction, and finally brought back a trophy for Manchester United.
Manchester United seem to be satisfied after getting the FA Cup, even the league seems to be a little tired, Arsenal behind them are in hot pursuit, the Gunners have not tried the feeling of defeat for a long time, compared to the Red Devils they are still very good at manpower, the future curse of the fourth has not yet come, they still have a lot of hope to surpass Manchester United to become the league champion.
- So that Manchester United will not win anything this season except the FA Cup.
Manchester United is also very helpless about this, Keane's ban is a drop in the bucket for Manchester United, Juan was also forced by the lord not to play, the whole Manchester United is in a shortage of manpower, and the little guys in the academy are also pulled up to play the game over and over again, tossing to death.
Especially Juan is still here to make trouble, and when he has nothing to do in training, he has to go up and have a friendly exchange with everyone, which is known as the exchange between the Castilla academy and the Carrington academy, which makes the Carrington boys cry every time.
Big brother, although you are indeed from the Castilla Academy, but you are also a person who has played in the national team and the Champions League, don't bully people like this, okay......
In this regard, Juan's answer was straightforward: "What's wrong with playing the Champions League, everyone present has played in the Youth League, haven't you played a few Champions League games in the first team recently?" "Although I lost, it was also compared with other people's first team, although I was defeated, I was still honored!
"Speaking of the national team game, who hasn't played in the Under-21 game and stands up, I'm allowed to watch from the sidelines."
Everyone in the room stopped talking, and they were naturally the best generation of Carrington to be selected as a substitute for the first team, and they were good enough talents anyway, and Juan was actually as old as them when you calculated carefully.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Juan chuckled. Teenagers' competitiveness is the easiest to be aroused, which also helps them all grow. Everyone here is the hope for United's future, and he wants to make the Reds better no matter what.
"Okay, in that case, let's continue to work hard," Juan clapped his hands very seriously, "The bigwigs have been very tired in the recent game, let's kick out early and help the bigwigs share some of the burden!" ”
Although Manchester United's youth academy is also fighting hard in the regional league, this is the first team, and their biggest dream for so many years is ahead! In that case, what else do they have to hesitate about!
Juan was relieved to see the lads get serious again, and he also knew that there was a lot of pressure on the lads on weekdays, especially in the FA Cup, facing strong Premier League opponents, they were quite stretched.
But it's a little better now......
In the 36th round of the league, Manchester United played at home against Crystal Palace. Manchester United had drawn two games in a row before this game, and if this game is drawn or even lost, Arsenal will catch up. Arsenal are very willing to win all of their last few games, and if United are not careful, they will be overturned this season.
Juan is still standing on the sidelines of the pitch, and he is wearing a training uniform today, which also gives many Red Devils fans some hope: Juan has not been standing on the sidelines of the pitch in a training uniform for a long time, is he going to play today?
Time passed minute by minute, Manchester United and Crystal Palace are still deadlocked, the goals on both sides seem to be a little shaky, a small part of Manchester United's main force sat on the bench and watched anxiously, their rotation of rotations, injuries and stops, with frustration and helplessness on their faces, they did not do their best, now they are really lacking in follow-up, even their home commentators feel that they may lose this season at the last moment.
The glory of the whole game belonged to Manchester United from the start, and the academy players on the pitch were a little exhausted, and the strict defense of the first half left them covered in grass and mud, which looked dirty, and with 20 minutes to go, they mustered up their last strength to continue running.
Ferguson stood on the edge of the pitch and sank like water, and he naturally saw the fatigue of everyone on the field, sighed and turned his head to look at the bench.
Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Sylvester, Scholes all looked in his direction. The first three are all resting in rotation and should have no problem playing, while Scholes is just recovering from a leg injury and may be a bit dangerous......
So, who will play?
The lord was still thinking about it, the camera at the scene had already found him, and many people immediately found out his intentions, and after a commotion, the fans began to sing loudly, and the lord was still thinking about it at first, but he was stunned.
"Juan, why haven't you played yet, why haven't you played yet?!"
"Ryan Giggs, Neville, Silvestre, they've only rotated two games, but we haven't seen you for two months!"
"The whole team has been rotated, and we have seen a lot of the little beets in the academy, but where are you?!"
"Juan Díaz, you bastard, are all the good plays all liar?!"
"Why don't you play, when the hell are you playing?!"
In the face of the resentful roar of the audience, everyone on the Manchester United bench was messy, Juan looked helplessly, and found that everyone was shaking with their heads down as if they had goat madness, he sighed and decided to ignore them and face the lord directly.
"Sir, do you see?"
The lord glanced at the people around him, Juan smiled innocently at him, and he frowned: "Is the body really okay?" ”
"I'm sure!" Juan nodded earnestly, and the lord sighed.
"Okay, you go warm up."
"Oooh!! Let's see who's warming up!! Frank jumped up all of a sudden, he hadn't been so excited for two months, although he could see Juan on the bench at Manchester United every day, but he would always look like an assistant coach, although it wasn't bad, but they were still looking forward to Juan's appearance on the pitch!
"Juan Díaz! He took off his coat! It's so exciting, hahaha!! ”
Dean is a little helpless, although his partner's commentary style has always been very passionate, but today this is inevitably too "sentimental"? Is it really good to jump right on top of him and hug him? "Frank, I'm glad I'm glad too, but let me remind you...... I'm a man with a wife. ”
"Phew, I have it too!" Frank glared at him viciously and continued to say with great interest: "Juan is finally going to play, I'm excited, I'm excited!" ”
"You're so happy, why don't you just take out your own private collection and give back to our audience?" Dean complained, and Frank's eyes lit up.
"Good! If Juan comes on the pitch and scores more than two goals in this game, I'll take out my Playboy magazine and draw a spectator! ”
“…… You're a bastard......"
Unbeknownst to Juan, Juan had sublimated to the point of a Playboy, so he carefully adjusted his shin guards, jumped twice, and then stood in front of the Lord to indicate that he had finished warming up, and the Lord glanced at him.
The ball happened to pop off the sideline in the scramble, and the lord immediately signaled to the fourth official to make a substitution.
Manchester United: No.23 Juan Dias replaces No.27 Jordan!
Jordan is a seeded player in Carrington's academy, and he did his best for the team in this game, and he, Cristiano and Keane were mainly responsible for the team's midfield rotation today, but compared to the other two, he was simply tired of coping, and Crystal Palace's attack went from him one by one, and he could teach him a memorable lesson every time.
Their captain glared at him several times because of this, woo......
When he left the game, Jordan had a crying expression on his face, Juan looked at his heart and moved, and when he high-fived, he pulled the young man over.
"Well done, Jordan."
The young man was stunned for a moment, and looked back at his back as he left.
United's fiery red no.23 jogged down the pitch and pointed to the Palace goal in front of the crowd.
The red and light in the sky are intertwined, and the man with dark blonde hair seems to be one with the entire Dream Theater at this moment.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath as he stood on the court again.
- That's great, this feeling.
Standing in the middle of the pitch and enjoying the cheers of the crowd, the aroma of the green grass and the support of your teammates are completely different from standing on the sidelines.
He loves to play!
Seeing Cristiano with the ball and signaling him what to do next, Juan couldn't help but smile.
How? What else can be done on the pitch?
"Onslaught! The goal – Crystal Palace's goal! ”
