Chapter 14: Manchester United's New King?

"For some media reports that are untrue, it is a huge reputational damage to our players and the club, we will reserve the right to pursue it, and use legal means to protect our interests when appropriate!"

"Van is a good professional footballer who knows very well what he should and shouldn't do...... We contacted the bar where the incident occurred and restored the situation as it was...... In fact, most of the reports are inaccurate, as we all know that Van is about to become one of us, and when he first arrived at Manchester City, it was normal for him to connect with his future team-mates, and in the bar, Van just ordered a glass of juice, and the so-called brawl that followed had nothing to do with our players......

"The truth of the matter is that when leaving the bar, Fan just picked up one of the customers who had fallen to the ground injured...... I don't understand why anyone would make such a false attack on a good man of good intentions, is this the attitude of the British people towards outsiders? ”

"The Premier League is one of the top professional leagues in the world, and we are honoured to have more high-level players playing, and English fans are some of the warmest and most loyal fans in the world, but this 'welcome' is not hospitality...... Fan is here to fight for more glory and bring better football enjoyment to the fans, not to maliciously slander people......"

At the behest of Alex Ferguson, United's press spokesperson held a brief press conference, at which he answered questions from many journalists, clarified the untrue reports in the newspapers, and sternly protested against all false reports, saying that he would defend the interests of the club and the players with the weapon of law.

After the press conference, many Manchester United celebrities and current players also appeared in public, either expressing their support for the club, or unabashedly admiring and praising Fan Bizhuang.

Manchester United's current captain Gary. Speaking in an interview about the bar brawl, Neville dismissed it as a false rumour, saying: "Actually, we just wanted to give a small welcome party to Van who had just arrived in Manchester City, and Van is a very disciplined player and I admire his professionalism...... Although the season has not yet begun, Van is still strict with himself, he just ordered a glass of juice......"

Known as the "low-key master", Manchester United veteran Paul . Scholes also stood up to express his appreciation for Fan Bizhuang: "How good Fan is, this is clear to fans all over the world, and in the past World Cup, Fan perfectly interpreted this. I want to say that he is a person of high moral character, when we were about to leave, someone was injured and fell to the ground, everyone did not move, just wanted to escape from this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, but Fan did not do this, he stopped, and then squatted down and helped the other person up...... It's a small thing, but it's clear that there's more to it than that. I don't understand why so many people attack him with distorted facts, can they not even have their own conscience for the sake of news and sales? ”

Van der Sar: "I was stunned when I saw the newspapers that were completely one-sided and questioning against Fan, I really couldn't understand why such a young man who was extremely good on and off the field could have so many people maliciously slandered. Of course, I don't know what other people think, but personally, I support Van because he is a great young man and I hope everyone can focus on the upcoming new season, and I believe that Van will bring more and better changes to the team. ”

Whether it is to "restore the truth" or to "atone for their sins", several old guys of Manchester United are unabashedly boasting about Fan Bizhuang when they are interviewed, not only them, but even many retired Manchester United celebrities have also come out to shout for their old clubs and "juniors".

Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has played for both Manchester United and Real Madrid, made no secret of his admiration for Van Bizhuang: "He's a great player, I've played against him in games and no one knows better than me how much pressure Van can bring to the opposition. He's a superstar who can change the course and outcome of a game and unfortunately I didn't get the chance to play alongside him, but now that he's back at my old club, I'm sure Sir Alex Ferguson knows how to use him to get the best out of him, which will help Manchester United as a whole and make our team more competitive in the league and in Europe. ”

"Heartthrob" Beckham always looks chic and handsome in front of the camera: "It's not easy to get a foothold in a team with a lot of stars and get good results. But obviously, Van was born for football, and he will always be the brightest star on the pitch. He had great success at Real Madrid and now he is confident that he will continue his unrivalled performances in a completely new environment. ”

Even Manchester United's king Eric Cantona, who has not appeared in front of the media for a long time, suddenly spoke out in the media: "I am not surprised at all by this situation, some media in the UK are like this, they don't care about the truth of the facts, and they don't care what the consequences will bring, for them, all they want is topics and sales."

What Fan is going through now, I have experienced it before, but what I want to say to Fan is, no matter what they say, you only need to do one thing well, and that is to use your feet to play the most wonderful football, and then let everyone who doubts and abuses you shut up!

I have to admit that I admire Van more than anyone else, not only because of his good game and now that he is about to become a part of Manchester United, I have watched a lot of his games, but also the reports, his character, his temperament, it is to my taste! A real man has to have such a temper, that is, to be tough! Both on and off the field! This is the temperament of a leader!

In my opinion, there is no doubt that Van will be a huge success at Old Trafford because he and I are the same kind of people and he will be the real masters here! We are hungry to score, we are hungry to win, we dare to say and do, and we will fight back with the most powerful response to the things we are not used to......

Come on, young boy, I'm confident you'll replace me as the new ...... at Old Trafford King! ”

……

The impact of Cantona's sudden show of solidarity is undoubtedly enormous.

For Manchester United fans, Eric . Cantona is a god-like being, and there is no Red Devils fan who is not convinced of this unruly and maverick Frenchman.

In the history of the revival of the Red Devils, it was Cantona who led Neville, Bart and others, who were still a bunch of hairy boys at the time, invincible and swept across England.

Manchester United kings have stood up to support Fan Bizhuang, not to mention that because of the guidance of unscrupulous media, Manchester United fans have misunderstood Fan Bizhuang, even if Fan Bizhuang is really a "heinous" bastard, it is estimated that fans will stop criticizing and questioning him.

In particular, Cantona bluntly said that Van Bizhuang will replace him as the new king of Manchester United, which made Manchester fans even more shocked and boiling.

"Oh my God, what did I see! It's Eric! It's our king! He actually showed up, and he still supported a Chinese kid who had not officially signed a contract with the club! ”

"Van is indeed a very good professional footballer, but in my opinion, that's all there is to it, but now His Majesty is so optimistic about him...... So, well, I think it's time to change my mind, and maybe Van is really going to have a huge success at Old Trafford, as for replacing Eric? Ha, maybe! ”

"Aside from being a big fan of Manchester United, my favourite player in today's football is Fan ...... I don't believe in the nonsense of the media, Fan is the best one! ”

"The urine of the paparazzi and the media, we are not unclear, this group of people who have no wind and want to make waves, see the righteousness of the biao... Child...... Anyway, I won't believe what they say, support His Majesty the King, support Manchester United, support Fan ...... Welcome, Van ”

With the support of many "parties" and many celebrities, the trend of public opinion has a tendency to change, Cantona's remarks have exacerbated this process, Manchester United for Fan Bizhuang's "name" miss, obviously achieved good results, and under the official guidance of Manchester United, fans' attention to the "brawl incident" has declined rapidly, and more is full of expectations for the signing ceremony in a few days, and what changes Fan will bring to Old Trafford after joining the team.

……

"Is that Eric guy?"

The change in the direction of public opinion, as well as the shift in the attention of fans, made Ferguson breathe a sigh of relief, although Fan Bizhuang was "maliciously targeted" by the media when he first came to Manchester City, but the situation obviously did not develop in a worse direction, which is a fortunate thing.

It's just that Ferguson was a little surprised that the unruly Frenchman would suddenly come out of nowhere to show support for Van Bizhuang. Neville and others were interviewed by him, but Cantona was outside of his arrangement.

It is undeniable that since Ferguson took charge of Manchester United, there is no second person who has been in charge of Manchester United in the club, but there are exceptions, and that person is Eric Cantona.

Although Ferguson can subdue this cold and unruly Frenchman with a strong wrist, it is obvious that the Manchester United king is extremely maverick, and no one can stop what he wants to do, even if the consequences are serious, he is fearless, and what he doesn't want to do, even if it is Ferguson, cannot be forced.

It is precisely because he knows the temperament of the other party that Ferguson did not let him also make a voice in front of the camera, but he didn't expect that this Frenchman acted really as he wanted, and he actually came out of nowhere.

But I have to admit that Cantona's impact on Manchester United is indeed extremely huge, and his strong words are a surprise.

"The new ...... at Old Trafford King? Eric, this guy really dares to say anything! ”

Ferguson shook his head and smiled, put down the newspaper in his hand, and after a long silence, he dialed the phone: "Mr. Conterres, I think we can sign in advance...... Of course, the time will not change for the meet and greet with the fans......"

Ferguson didn't want to wait any longer, although the two sides had reached an intention, but after all, there was no formal signing, and the most important thing is that who knows if there will be any unexpected troubles before the signing, settle down earlier, and be at ease sooner.
