Manchester City, Trafford Training Centre.

At the end of the day's training, it was already dark and United manager Alex Ferguson and assistant coach Queiroz went to the small chamber.

Queiroz opened his laptop and played a video of the game Roma's home game against Millwall, with Queiroz playing the video of Branif, Vardy and Quaresma playing the goal over and over again.

Ferguson looked at it several times and looked up and asked, "This striker named Vardy has played a lot lately, right?" ”

Queiroz nodded, "I was about to tell you that you have to pay attention to this Vardy, he doesn't have a good chance of playing, but he has been quite strong lately. He was Millwall's second-leading scorer and not much worse than Darren Bent. ”

Ferguson became interested, "How good, how many goals?" ”

'Six league appearances and seven goals. Two appearances in the Champions League, one goal. ”

Ferguson was stunned by the data Queiroz said, he didn't expect that he would ask such amazing data casually.

Wayne Rooney has played all the league and Champions League goals, with only five league goals and only one Champions League goal, and compared to Jamie Vardy's appearances and goal statistics, Rooney is nothing at all.

Ferguson felt he had discovered something extraordinary.

Ferguson has always felt that Millwall's high frontcourt efficiency relies on an excellent midfielder and striker Darren Bent, who is indeed an excellent player, Ferguson also appreciates Darren Bent, but at present, Millwall is impossible to sell Darren Bent, Darren Bent is such an outstanding performance, if he wants to transfer away, he will definitely be the target of European giants, Manchester United's recent financial situation, it is estimated that there is little hope.

In addition, it is also important to note that Darren Bent is of the same type as Rooney, and coming to Manchester United will have a positional conflict with Rooney.

Ferguson believes that Rooney is no worse than Darren Bent and that there is no need to bring in another striker of the same type.

Jamie Vardy?

This young game data is no worse than Darren Bent, and Ferguson paid close attention to it and found that this young man was only nineteen years old.

Nineteen years old!

When Rooney was nineteen years old, he had just joined Manchester United, and no matter how famous Rooney was at that time, he could only play as a substitute, and after adapting to the team, the efficiency was not very high.

The player is only 19 years old, but he has already become Millwall's second goalscorer, and seven league goals is enough to squeeze into the scorers' charts, right?

Queiroz gave a definite answer, "The top scorer in the league is Darren Bent at the moment, and the second is Jamie Vardy. ”

“……”

Millwall's two strikers have rounded up the scorer list.

Ferguson tugged at the corners of his mouth, and suddenly he was in a bad mood, and assistant coach Ferran came in from outside the door, his steps were a little hurried, provoking Ferguson and Queiroz to look over.

Ferran stood beside Ferguson and said, "Sizz, I think you should know what Braniff said. There was some anger on his face.

Ferguson frowned and reprimanded, "Don't be so flustered in doing things, you will also be the head coach in the future, learn more from Carlos (Queiroz), and keep a steady attitude towards things." ”

Queiroz smiled.

Phelan nodded, he didn't want to explain more, just opened the webpage, searched for the latest Internet news, didn't need to type any relevant words at all, and suddenly a 'Braniff' appeared on the webpage--

"Braniff: I'm certainly better than Totti!"

"Braniff: Who's Carrick?"

"Braniff: I'm sure Ferguson will retire in a year!"

"Braniff: Ferguson, it's far worse than Zhang Yang!"

"Braniff: Did Ferguson have geriatric syndrome?"

"Braniff shouted to Ferguson: What is one plus one?"

"Braniff ......"

Ferguson looked at one web page after another, clicked on one of them suspiciously, carefully read the content line by line, and immediately frowned tightly, and then his expression became more and more ugly.

Queiroz and Ferran both watched apprehensively.

I don't know how long it took, but at one point, Ferguson burst out, flipped his laptop to the ground, slapped the table and yelled, "Bastard! How dare you say that about me! This idiot! Idiot! You've got geriatric syndrome! ”

Then Ferguson's mouth continued to foul language, and the gentlemanly demeanor had long been lost to an unknown corner.

When his mood stabilized, Phelan dared to approach, helped smooth his back, and comforted, "Sir, don't care what he says, he probably has something wrong with his brain." Didn't you just say that you should keep a steady mindset when dealing with things? ”

This 'consolation' made Queiroz cover his face.

Ferguson's cheeks flushed, he turned his head and glared at Ferran angrily, as if he had some deep hatred with him, and then pointed out the door and said angrily, "Get out!" Get out of here! Go and do your job! We're going to have a game the day after tomorrow, what are you doing here! ”

Phelan was a little stunned for a while, took a deep breath and left, and when he walked out of the door, he heard the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground behind him, and he didn't dare to look back, and hurriedly left.

————

Ferguson was furious!

He casually said 'appreciation' of Braniff's saliva, in fact, he really just said it casually, and he didn't particularly care, but during the day, when he saw the analysis and reports of the media, he really felt that Braniff was a good choice to replace Scholes.

Right now...... !

This bastard!

Ferguson couldn't understand why Braniff would barrigate himself, what he said was admiring the other party, how did it get into the other party's mouth, and it became a belittlement and curse?

But it doesn't matter.

He doesn't need to investigate why.

After this kind of incident, Braniff will definitely be insulated from Manchester United in the future, and as long as he is still in charge of Manchester United for one day, Manchester United will never be interested in Braniff.

Then Ferguson did nothing.

In the war of words in the media, Ferguson is the manager of Manchester United, and Braniv is just a player at Millwall.

The Manchester United players were certainly not going to let the opposing players go so satirizing the great manager they thought of that by the next morning, one by one the United players spoke up.

Scholes: "I don't know why he said that, but he should maintain the respect he deserves for the boss [Ferguson]. I read the report and it seems to concern me? I will not be replaced by him, never. ”

Wayne Rooney: "He doesn't want to have anything to do with Manchester United for the rest of his life!" ”

Carrick: "I don't know who he is. ”

Cristiano Ronaldo: "I think the FA should be involved in this because he made a provocative move. Also, the game is about to start and we'll let him know he's nothing in front of Manchester United. ”

Rio Ferdinand: "I'll defend him with my heart. ”

Park Ji-sung: "I saw an uneducated person. ”

“……”

While the media is vigorously reporting on the saliva of Manchester United players, Millwall is conducting normal training, tomorrow is the game with Manchester United, and the intensity of training this morning has been reduced a lot, basically to familiarize the players with some coordination routines, organize defensive and offensive running training.

Zhang Yang also specially asked Simpson to train set-pieces and Livermore to train long-range shots.

Set-pieces and long-range shots were important tools for Millwall to score goals.

When it was noon, Braniff couldn't wait to pull Vardy out of the training ground together, Wise looked at the backs of the two of them leaving in a hurry, and frowned and didn't ask Zhang Yang, "Is this good?" Won't they be too impatient? ”

"It's okay." Zhang Yang said lightly: "Kevin, this guy ...... It is only when there is pressure that there will be motivation! I'm sure he'll be very motivated when it comes to the game! ”

He had some expectations.

Thinking about what Braniff said to reporters, Zhang Yang felt in a good mood, and when he heard it last night, he spit out all the water.

That's so much fun!

Ferguson definitely didn't choose a 'war of words', Braniff's brain circuit is different from ordinary people, and there must be a special form of talking to him, such as constantly praising him, which will make Braniff have a good impression, don't compare the player with Braniff, but tell him, "You are the best player in the world and the most important player in the team", so that Braniff will be very happy.

Manchester United players collectively criticise Branifer?

It's no wonder it works!

Braniff won't admit defeat, he's like a Saiyan, and he'll get braver and braver!

This is Braniff!

Sure enough, when lunch passed, Zhang Yang checked the latest sports news and saw the report of Braniff fighting alone--

"He (Scholes) won't be replaced by me? What am I going to do in his place? ”

"Even if I retire now, I won't go to Manchester United!"

"Does that guy (Carrick) who doesn't know the name have a say too?"

"In front of me, he (C-Ronaldo) is nothing!"

"He (Ferdinand) is so whimsical! Of course he will defend with his heart, otherwise the goalkeeper behind him will definitely be very dissatisfied! Sorry, I don't know what the Manchester United goalkeeper is called. ”

"I'm not educated? He's not educated! I have a friend who always likes to watch small movies, as if they are all produced in their country. If you don't wear clothes and do things in broad daylight, is it educated? Also, please don't talk to me, I know the boss doesn't like Japanese people. ”

“……”

Zhang Yang mourned for Manchester United for a second in his heart, and then happily took the news as gossip.

The rest of the players are similar.

Everyone was discussing the matter, and they were happy to talk to Branifer, and Vardy, who was personally involved, became a famous commentator, and Branifer's head was held high, and the look of no one in his eyes made him a hero of the team.

"Kevin, that's amazing!"

"That's great!"

"You alone represent the whole of Millwall!"

Morris also came to join in the fun, "The boss said that tomorrow's game, I will be a substitute, Kevin, or you will wear the captain's armband?" ”

Braniff's face changed suddenly, his eyes full of longing.

Captain's armband!

With this thing, isn't he the commander of the whole team, and when the time comes, he will prove that he is the most important player?

Braniff didn't just want it, he actually did it, and during afternoon training, he suggested to Wise, "The captain's armband should be given to me for the next game." ”

Wise didn't know how to refuse for a moment.

Either way, Braniff is not a good fit to be an interim captain.

Zhang Yang walked over, patted Braniff on the shoulder and said, "Kevin, you're the invisible captain, and that thing doesn't make sense to carry it on you." You think, if you wear the captain's armband, won't it attract the opponent's firepower, and it will limit your play. It's up to you to win! I don't want to see your performance affected by the captain's armband. ”

Braniff nodded approvingly, and said with a resolute face, "Yes, the captain's armband is useless to me, I don't need the approval of others." Don't worry, boss, I'm going to do a good job! ”

Braniff's scrappy look made Zhang Yang extremely satisfied.

In the tactical arrangement of the coaching staff, Braniff will play as the core of the midfield, he is indeed a very important player, but not only the core, because of yesterday's incident, Zhang Yang made a temporary decision to let Braniff act as a 'point of hatred'.

The Manchester United players are certainly not willing to lose the 'war of words', they are all gnashing their teeth at Braniff, and when it comes to the game, it makes little difference whether there is a captain's armband or not, and Braniff will attract enough attention as long as he stands there.

Then someone else has a chance.

————

Braniff's clash of words against Manchester United was the biggest focus of Manchester United's home game against Millwall.

This incident has aroused heated discussions throughout the UK, and even foreign media such as Germany and France have reported with interest.

Manchester United were depressed.

They were all in the ring with one of the opposing players, but they couldn't win it, which was a big shame, and they all held their breath, intending to let Braniff know that they were powerful.

On the day of the game, Manchester United didn't say anything more, neither did Millwall, and both teams responded to the media with silence.

The same goes for the pre-match press conference.

Ferguson only talked about Manchester United's preparations, talking about Manchester United's confidence in beating Millwall, how important the game is for Manchester United, Zhang Yang only talked about Millwall, "We are very well prepared for the game, and I believe that it will be a good result for Millwall in the end. ”

The two head coaches did not make any sparks, which made the media reporters feel a little disappointed, and they hoped that Zhang Yang could say a few words in a targeted manner, but unfortunately Zhang Yang did not have the habit of contributing news to the media.

Journalists are content to think about it.

Braniff's news of the Manchester United team has been reported on Germany, France and other countries, and such a hot league game before the game, even if it is a competition for the first and second place in the league, is quite rare.

Then it's the game.

There is no win or loss in the 'war of words', winning or losing can only be fought out in the game, it seems that Manchester United has lost the 'war of words', but if Manchester United wins, Braniff is just a joke.

Contrarily.

If Millwall wins, Manchester United will be too embarrassed, maybe Ferguson will not be able to face reporters after the game?

That would be interesting.

A lot of the media was expecting Millwall to win.
