676, everything is inferior, only the goal is high.
Chu Ge lowered his head and sorted out his sneakers, and his teammates passed back and forth by his side.
Mbappe sat next to Chu Ge.
When he sat down, Chu Ge glanced up.
"I'm tired."
"It's huge."
The two said at the same time.
"What did you say?" Mbappe paused for a moment, he didn't hear clearly.
Chu Ge shook his head with a smile, and lowered his head to arrange his sneakers.
"There are too many games now, one game after another, it's really tiring." Mbappe leaned back against the locker, his long legs posed in a V-shape, looking tired and paralyzed.
Chu Ge just smiled and ignored the words.
Marcus Rashford also came over.
"Yes, I wake up every morning with a sore back, and I feel like my body is too hollow."
Chu Ge straightened up and reached out and gently patted Rashford's head.
"Learn a little more time management at a young age, don't be hollowed out or something." Chu Ge said.
Rashford smiled "hey" and passed the test.
Chu Ge thought for a while and said: "It's normal to feel tired at this time, Manchester City's players may not be as tired as us, and Arsenal will be more relaxed, but will you envy them?" ”
He asked Pogba and Marcus Rashford.
Rashford scratched his head.
Mbappe laughed.
"If I can do it every season like this, even if I am exhausted to death, I am willing." Van Dijk passed by and dropped a cool sentence with a blank face.
Chu Ge looked at Van Dijk's back and smiled.
This season, because of the addition of Van Dijk, Chu Ge and Manchester United have benefited a lot. After Van Dijk arrived at Manchester United, the team's defence suddenly went up a notch and became much more solid. The defence is solid, and the team will be more relaxed in attack.
At least Chu Ge doesn't have to be like the national team.
No matter how many goals you score, you always worry that the number of goals will not be enough.
And, most importantly, although Van Dijk has not won a few titles, he has always been hungry for them, full of hunger.
This determination to pursue the championship and the desire to be the best has only been seen in Cristiano Ronaldo before Van Dijk.
This is a temperament and an aura that belongs to an excellent player.
The more players like that there are at Manchester United, the temperament of the whole squad will change a bit. Players will be more dissatisfied with the current results, will unconsciously take victory for granted, will not slack off because of the lead, and will always move forward.
The temperament of the team sometimes seems like a kind of metaphysics, which cannot be seen or touched, but it does exist and provides impetus for the team to move forward.
Van Dijk's words touched the three of Chu Ge a little.
Mbappe sat up straight unconsciously.
"Van Dijk has some point. Playing football is like running, everyone wants to be the best they can be. But it's better to always have one. If you don't suffer hardship and don't get tired, why is the best one to be you? He said thoughtfully.
Chu Ge looked at Rashford with a smile.
He pouted at Mbappe and then said to Rashford: "He understands, what about you?" ”
Rashford patted his chest, stopped talking twice, and then said dryly: "I am the same!" ”
Chu Ge rolled his eyes.
"I'll tell you, let you read a little more often." He touched Rashford's head.
Rashford smiled embarrassedly, "I read, I've always been reading, isn't it young and haven't graduated yet!" ”
Chu Ge shook his head helplessly.
Speaking of reading, he suddenly remembered something.
"If you didn't play, what would you be doing now?" He asked two friends.
Rashford was stunned.
He hadn't thought about it.
He looked towards Mbappe and found that Mbappe was also a little dazed after hearing Chu Ge's question.
"You always ask me, what about you? Boss Chu, what would you do if you didn't kick? "Rashford decided to strike first, and he couldn't always be led by Chu Ge's nose.
Chu Ge touched his nose and thought for a while.
"It's a very simple question for me. In my country, playing football is an option for a few, and my choice to play is more like an accident. If I hadn't played football, I would have taken the college entrance examination in my country, and then entered a good university to study a good major......
Without football, Chu Ge could easily imagine his future life.
He's different from a lot of players at home, and even a lot of players in the Europa League.
Chu Ge was not born poor, and he was not a stubborn student without a talent for learning.
Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School, where he studied, is a key school, and Chu Ge's grades are also quite good. According to the life trajectory of a normal peer, as long as there were no major accidents, he should have passed the college entrance examination three years later and entered a university in Jiangcheng University or Huazhong Polytechnic High School to continue his studies.
Then it is nothing more than a choice of going to graduate school, going abroad, and employment.
In the end, there will be a decent career, a decent salary, a decent life, busy, uneventful, like many people.
Football changed all that.
"If it weren't for football, I would be an ordinary person, ordinary, unknown. I don't know if I'll be happy with that because I've lost that way of life, but I don't regret it. ”
"I'm enjoying my life now, the money, the honour and the status that football has brought me, but also the responsibility and pressure it has brought me. My father used to say to me when I was a child, "You have to give something for what you get, and that's fairness." Although sometimes you can't see what you've given or whether someone else is paying for you, life is always fair. ”
"When I was a child, I didn't understand my father's words, and I always thought he was telling big truths, and I didn't like to hear it. But as I grew up, I started to get to know a little bit about it. ”
'We're all some successful players now, we get a salary that no one else can do, we have the unreserved support of the fans, we get a lot, which means we have to give a lot. There may be many forms of giving, but as players, our duty is to play. ”
"Give your best in every game, fight for the win, for the championship."
"If we win the championship, then we can fulfill the wishes of the fans and let them know that everything is meaningful. If we don't win the championship and we fail, then the process of our struggle can also inspire people and tell them that not all efforts can be successful, life is not only success, accepting failure is also a part of life, but only hard work can have the capital to accept failure; Only by working hard will you not collapse after failure. I believe that's what football is all about and that's what we do. ”
There was more and more tranquility in the dressing room.
The teammates looked at Chu Ge.
The captain said exactly what they had thought about, but not said.
They felt a strong resonance.
They listened,
I'm also thinking,
Everyone has their own ideas, and not all of them are the same.
And one of the different ideas is similar.
'Just Kylian [Mbappe] said he was tired, and so was I, and I think we're all tired. We're players, but we're also flesh and blood, and of course we're tired from the busy schedule. ”
"But, then what?"
"Give up, or relax?"
"Is it worthy of the expectations of the fans, worthy of the salary and reputation you receive? …… Are you worthy of yourself? ”
"We've been competing together for a year to get to where we are today. We can see three trophies right in front of our eyes. That's what the fans crave, and that's what we crave! That's what we mean by playing, it's our dream and pursuit! I don't know if I'll get them in the end, but I know that it's my right and my responsibility to work hard for it and give my all for it. ”
"I'm going to fight for it. Until the end. ”
Chu Ge looked at Mbappe, looked at Marcus Rashford, looked at Virgil van Dijk, looked at his team-mates.
And his teammates were watching him too.
"I'm going to fight for it. Until the end. Mbappe muttered the last sentence of Chu Ge.
Rashford smacked Chu Ge in the chest.
"That's a good point, Boss Chu." He was a little excited.
"Me too! I will fight for it until the end! Rashford exclaimed.
Van Dijk's ice-like face seemed to melt slightly.
"It's my glory to fight for the title." He whispered.
"For the champion!"
"For the champion!"
One teammate after another clenched their fists.
Not all players are qualified to fight for the title, and now, they have come to this point.
Together, they have come this far.
so
No one can retreat!
"If I win, I'll shave my head to celebrate."
Looking at the excited teammates, Chu Ge suddenly became a little impulsive.
He smiled and set a flag.
Add another fire to the team's high morale.
……
The game soon restarted.
Compared to the first half, the United players looked much more excited. They run more aggressively on the pitch and have a more pronounced willingness to attack.
Di Francisco forehead.
He stood on the scene, his face brooding.
'What happened at half-time? The coach thought to himself.
At half-time, the Roma boss didn't say much to his players. He just asked the Roma players to continue the train of thought in the first half, to defend solidly, and to attack.
He didn't expect that as soon as the break passed, Manchester United would put on a big attacking posture.
This was not what he expected.
And just when the coach was still thinking, the scene suddenly changed.
Mbappe retreated and the ball was broken, De Rossi found Dzeko with a long pass, Dzeko headed back to the point, and Nainggolan suddenly stepped forward and shot with a blast.
The ball blasted open of David De Gea's goal.
0:1。
Roma took the lead.
They scored first away from home.
"Great!" Di Francisco jumped three feet high.
He hadn't figured out what was going on.
But that's nothing compared to scoring goals.
Everything is inferior, but the goal is high.
That's great!
Di Francisco threw all his thoughts out of his head, and he walked along the sidelines of the pitch, passionately celebrating.
Nainggolan's goal gave him hope of the final!
From not being favored by everyone, to reversing Barcelona, to eliminating Manchester United, Di Francisco seems to have seen the peak of his coaching career!
