130. Manchester United used to be the core
"Manchester United openly called out Barcelona!"
"Manchester United No. 7 = 5 Messi?!"
"Mr. Billion shames Real Madrid!"
"Who is the First Club of the Universe?!"
……
The club's press conference was an immediate and sensational one, with the media reporters announcing two contract renewals for Manchester United almost simultaneously. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The liquidated damages of 1 billion pounds (about 1.2 billion euros) also surpassed the 250 million euros set by Barcelona for Messi two months ago, and undoubtedly became the first value in football history.
£1 billion is, of course, more symbolic than practical, and in the face of UEFA's increasingly stringent fiscal balance policy, even if a club has the money, it is impossible to spend £1 billion on a player - the result of the fiscal deficit could put the club facing a double ban in the Champions League and the league, which is a deal that is not worth the cost.
Therefore, this is equivalent to Manchester United Club domineeringly announcing to all competitors: Qin Goode is not for sale! We, Manchester United, are by no means Dortmund! We are confident that we will keep him in the team!
As for Ferguson's contract renewal, it was ignored by the vast majority of people.
After all, Alex Ferguson had said 12 years ago that he was going to retire soon, and then he worked for 12 years, and everyone thought he would be in the United manager's position until death......
Ferguson = Manchester United, this concept has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
No one would have thought that this old man with Scottish red spots would really leave Manchester United one day......
Ferguson's contract extension has suddenly made the atmosphere in the Manchester United team a lot easier, at least Van Persie is no longer like a deceived resentful woman, Scholes is also nagged by Giggs every day that he can put his second retirement with him in 2014, and Ginger Head is really tempted......
But some people rejoice, and naturally some people feel a little less comfortable.
For example, Manchester United's vice-captain, Wayne Rooney.
At the age of 18, he became famous in England, at the age of 19, he made the whole of Europe look sideways, and joined the Red Devils Manchester United with the highest value of a young player at the time (£27 million), and gradually grew into the core of Manchester United and the England national team.
Before the age of 21, Rooney was a winner in life.
But then he began to slowly begin to slip from the top: his former younger brother Ronaldo suddenly broke out, snatched the throne of Manchester United's first brother from him, and won the European Footballer of the Year and the Golden Ball Award in one fell swoop, becoming the first in the world at that time, and Rooney at this time even suffered a three-year goal drought in the Champions League.
When Manchester United sent Cristiano Ronaldo away for a sky-high transfer fee, Rooney thought he would usher in spring, but he found that Ferguson attracted the "dashing brother" Berbatov who only scored 15 goals in a season for a high price of 30 million pounds, and Rooney could not even maintain the main position for a while.
But this may be exactly what Ferguson did with him: Rooney and Berbatov were elected the Premier League's Golden Boot and Rooney was voted the league's best player in 2010-11, but with the arrival of Hernandez and the growth of Welbeck, Rooney has rarely appeared in the striker position he is best at, and he has never been satisfied with his position.
It has to be said here that Wayne Rooney is a contradictory guy who once refused to renew his contract on the grounds that the club did not buy big names and lacked ambition (which is somewhat similar to Van Persie's behavior at Arsenal), but when Ferguson finally bought the big names, he began to worry about his central position.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that in today's Manchester United team, the core player is definitely not him Wayne Rooney.
Tomorrow, 30 April, he will welcome his former younger brother, Cristiano Ronaldo, at Old Trafford.
Rooney secretly swore in his heart: I can't let Ronaldo see what he is like now!
I'm going to show him that I'm still the best player in England!
In anticipation, April came to an end.
'I've been in charge of you for three years and you've been in the last four of the Champions League every year, which is a great achievement for Arsenal or any other team, but I think you're like me, no one is going to settle for a mere semi-final.
Jose Mourinho was making his final move-up in the visitors' dressing room.
"Yes, that's right, we lost 4-1 at home and it looks like the difference of three goals is insurmountable, but I tell you, three goals is the least safe score in football! Look at A Coruña back then! Look no further than Liverpool in Istanbul! Will they be stronger than us? ”
-- Ancelotti, who was far away in France, suddenly sneezed: Who pulled me out again as a classic case?
"What's wrong with playing away? What happened to Mr. Golden Ball? And what happened to Mr. Billion Pounds?! Mourinho's eyes lit up red, and his spirits reached their highest level, "If you don't have the confidence to overcome them, I can book a ticket back to Madrid now!" ”
"No one will surrender, Coach!"
Ronaldo responded to him with a frown, and a group of echoing voices rang out behind him.
"Very good, gentlemen," Mourinho nodded with satisfaction, "now let's take a look at the holes in their defence, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand, Patrice Evra are all young, I believe they will have negligence and mistakes in the 90 minutes, each of you will have to be 200 per cent and catch all their mistakes......"
Ronaldo was still frowning, and it seemed that he was listening carefully, but his thoughts had already flown to the game ten minutes later.
"Viewers, welcome to the second leg of the 2012-13 UEFA Champions League semi-finals, Manchester United at home to Real Madrid."
He Wei coughed lightly and began his work: "A week ago, the two sides played the first leg of the contest at the Bernabeu, the home of Real Madrid, with Qin Goode's hat trick, Manchester United unexpectedly swept the Galaxy Battleship with a score of 4-1, and occupied an absolute advantage in the promotion, maybe we can say that this game is more of a formality, what do you think?" ”
Zhang Lu shook his head again and again, as the world's No. 1 Gude fan, he never gave his idol a defeat in advance: "Although I also hope that Manchester United will be close to the final final, if I underestimate the strength of Real Madrid, it will definitely suffer a big loss." I'm sure with Ferguson's years of experience in coaching, they wouldn't have made such a low-level mistake. ”
- Ancelotti touched his nose again: why do you sneeze every day in such a warm Paris?
"Zhang Zhi's view is more conservative, haha," He Wei snorted, and then paid attention to the players on both sides who were entering the field, "One of the highlights of this game should be Ronaldo's return to Old Trafford after four years, and the former Red Devils No. 7 has reached the top of this stadium and then climbed to a higher stage." Now that he's back where his dream began, there's no telling how the fans here will welcome him......"
Cristiano Ronaldo led the little caddie out of the long corridor.
Compared to the modern Bernabeu, the facilities here are still so old, so old that they seem to smell moldy.
The live announcer at Old Trafford called out his name: "Ronald! ”
The whole stadium resounded with enthusiastic cheers.
Ronaldo looked up, but was confronted with a hand-painted slogan board by fans.
"Welcome home, Ronaldo!
But please don't score! ”
He couldn't help but laugh. (To be continued.) )
