Chapter 53: The Abyss of Manchester United (Part I)

Chen Xi did not go to Manchester after all, and her work at hand did not allow her to leave the patient behind. Today is a rare good day, the sun is shining, but the girl at the desk is biting the pen and getting distracted.

On the table is a medical case, and in the blank space it seems that someone has unconsciously written the words "Hydeward" in Chinese. Chen Xi was a little annoyed and scribbled round and round with a pen, then tore off the paper, crossed a beautiful parabola and smashed it into the trash.

The phone in her pocket rang stubbornly, it had been several times today, her brows were frowning, she didn't want to answer it at all, but it looked like she had to answer it again.

After a few deep breaths, Chen Xi finally pressed the green answer button, "Mom." ”

"Your Uncle Lim's son has also gone to England, would you like to meet him? I'll ask him to go to you, have a meal together, and have a chat. Xixi, you can take care of yourself when you are abroad, so that your mother can rest assured. Meng Jianfen got straight to the point, and finished speaking without panting in one breath.

"Oh......" Chen Xi dragged out a long tail note, and his eyes began to become unfocused. She is really convinced of her mother now, since she returned to China with her father, she is worried about this and that, and she can't wait to go through all the relatives and friends at home, I don't know where these "goods" come from? It can be used to win the hearts of parents all over the world.

"Hee-hee!" Meng Jianfen aggravated her tone with a hint of warning, knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, where did she not know what this girl was thinking! "The conditions of your Uncle Lin's children are really good, you are a top medical student, he is so young and he has a doctor of law. I don't smoke or drink, I'm handsome, I want to hold my grandson early......"

"Oh, Mom, where are you going to go" Chen Xi listened weakly, his head was big. Although I have been working for several years, I am still young, and I am drunk when it is my turn to urge marriage.

Meng Jianfen heard that the phone was silent and asked, "Xixi, are you listening?" …… He'll go to you from London the day after tomorrow, and when the time comes, he'll put on makeup and meet you. A girl wields a scalpel all day long, and she doesn't know how to dress up and look at what you look like. ......" counted down his daughter one after another, and said that he could not repeat it for three days.

"Eh, what kind of mother, I'm in an emergency here, I have to rush over, let's do this first, I'll beat you when I have time... After speaking, without waiting for the other side to react, he hurriedly hung up the phone and let out a long breath.

She thinks she has a slight social phobia, who is that handsome guy surnamed Lin? Hey, what did my mother say on the phone just now? Wait, who called? Chen Xi is doing deletion work in her brain, geniuses have always had special functions, her brain is full of medical knowledge, where can she hold other superfluous things.

It's just that Chen Xi seems to have accidentally clicked on something that shouldn't be ordered in his mind, and the scene that happened in the stairwell a few days ago seems to be becoming clearer and clearer. cigarette boxes that have been twisted off; Forced into a corner; The Manchester United ticket that was stuffed into her hand, "Chen Xi, can you still run away" was like a magic spell, which popped out of her mind from time to time, disturbing her.

Thinking about it, my face turned red. Pulling his jet-black hair, Chen Xi thought: Did I promise him that day? It seems that you didn't agree, didn't you promise?

It was a lie to have an emergency, but in the end, I didn't resist the temptation and clicked on the live broadcast of the game that was closely related to my marriage. How is it possible for Portsmouth to win against Manchester United, the uncle is good, if he loses, he must comfort and comfort him.

…………

…………

'Alex Ferguson has already had his hair dryer on the sidelines, the first 30 minutes of Manchester United have been a disaster, are the players coming to Old Trafford? Oh, let's go home and find my mother. Glero taunted loudly from the Sky Sports commentary panel.

Chen Xi saw the score that shocked him.

0:2, the home team in front of the international convention, the away team in the back, Portsmouth in Manchester United home two-goal lead.

In the airline seat on the sidelines of Old Trafford, Ferguson's cheeks were abnormally red, the movement and frequency of chewing gum in his mouth gradually increased, and the heart was not enough to supply blood to the whole body, and the right hand was a little paralyzed and trembling slightly.

An old man showed his strong desire to win the game. Although he didn't want to admit it, Ferguson knew that he was careless, from the moment he was asked to sign it. didn't say it, but in his heart he looked down on it, the young man who was looking at the form on the field at this time.

The most intuitive manifestation of this is that his complacency is inadvertently revealed to the players. Manchester United did not have a small meeting dedicated to the next round of fixtures, as usual. Instead, they conceded precious time to the league and a few days later the next round of opponents Chelsea. Then there is an expected lineup of half main force and half substitute, Ferguson simply made a greater degree of rotation, and Darren Fletcher, who usually has few opportunities, got the start.

This glaring 2-0 was built on goalkeeper David De Gea's performance. Phil Jones had been talking to his Portsmouth players from the moment he was in the tunnel, with a sunny smile on his face. Regardless of the slightly serious expressions on their opponents' faces, they were a little nervous when they were making their first appearance at Old Trafford, and the good Samaritan Phil Jones also made a cameo appearance as a psychiatrist, comforting the "nervous opponent" from time to time.

On the other hand, he has even planned to exchange jerseys with his "fan" Margery after the game. Negative emotions are really contagious, spreading faster than the plague, and his partner Smalling was the first to be affected.

Irishman Lawrence picked up the ball on the edge of the box and turned around, and from start to finish, Chris did not know to come up and mark closely. On the one hand, he didn't think Portsmouth could make any dangerous passes, and on the other hand, he felt as if he could break it down as long as he played it.

Etuhu slotted into the box at lightning speed, Lawrence slapped Chris in the face and Etuhu got to the ball, a simple routine that was practiced countless times on the training ground and in the Championship. The name that died at his feet, and the next second there was one more Manchester United.

Manchester United, who conceded the goal, was like a basin of cold water pouring a stirring on the whole team. They began to show the excellent dominance of Alex Ferguson's side, with the players pressing heavily to get the equaliser as soon as possible. Just like you usually do with the middle and lower teams in the Premier League, let them struggle under intense pressure. But at this time, the United players made a second mistake because they didn't know enough about Portsmouth today, and they had no idea how quickly the team under Edward could counterattack!

Margery quickly played the ball after the ball was broken at the back, and the starting Ricciardo midfielder completed the overdrive, and Lawrence took the ball and sent it to Marco on the left without adjusting it, 0-2. The poor man's version of the BBC's "Mario Combo" shined throughout Old Trafford, counter-attacking to the back of the net, and Portsmouth only used three passes in no more than six seconds before and after.

It was a tactical mistake that was obvious to the point of blindness, the first goal was caused by arrogance, and the second goal was purely tactically unfamiliar to Pompey's army.

Edward, who was on the sidelines, crossed his legs, he was the abyss of Manchester United, and they would continue to make mistakes.
