Chapter 145: Now It's an Opponent
With the danger of being replaced, Fanny has always spared no effort in hacking Yumo. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But this time, it hit the knife edge.
The situation is clear.
After the Flying Boot incident, Ferguson is no longer as harsh on the management of his players' lives as he used to be, and the number of outbursts has plummeted. This gave many people the illusion that the old Scottish man had relented and would no longer rule the army with an iron fist as before.
The veterans in the team know the character of the leader well and dare not be too presumptuous, while the young people are a little uncontrollable and want to test it with the behavior of rubbing the ball.
Vanney was a newcomer and excelled, and his personality was a frivolous type, so it was normal for him to not be able to control his mouth in such a situation, and the bad thing was that after Yumo's half-joking warning, the Dutch still didn't realize the danger.
The relationship between Lu Wei and You Mo may not be known in detail by others, but Ferguson has been paying attention to these two guys since the time of Kaiserslautern and knows the difference in personality between the two.
The former of the two seems to be light, but in fact he is as fierce as fire, once he touches the bottom line, there is no pressure to turn his face and not recognize people. It doesn't matter if your teammates and coaches, on and off the field, whether there is a conflict of interest, whether they lack professionalism, and whether they lack professionalism, they don't care at all!
The latter of the two is not as strong as the ball style, and belongs to the type that can accommodate the big belly, and it is easy not to move the real fire. But if you think that the guy is honest and easy to bully, the end result is either like Lee Bowyer who can't walk on the ground now, or like Vanney, who was scolded in front of the whole team.
Shame on you!
It's a maddening feeling, and the Dutch are going to blow up.
But what if he was blown up, he borrowed his ten guts from Vanney, and he didn't dare to overturn Beckham's back!
So he could only lower his head, clench his fists, and hold back his anger.
It was easy to hold on to the end of the lecture, and the training began, and the strange eyes and whispered voices of his teammates began to challenge the limit of his patience again.
To be honest, although Ruud van Nistelrooy performed well on the field, scoring 18 goals in 1/3 of his rookie season, he can be called the number one killer of Manchester United, but his arrogant personality and rapid fame made him very popular in the team. This time, because of the inappropriate remarks, the hair dryer was served, and most of the teammates had the intention of watching the joke, and few people wanted to comfort them with words.
This added to his anger to some extent, and he urgently needed to vent his mouth.
Lu Wei didn't dare to move, this guy who usually doesn't smile has often been called to the office by the old man recently, and he is a real head coach's henchman, and he won't end well if he is facing it. It doesn't seem interesting to be angry with other people, unless......
Thinking of this, he has a goal!
The opportunity came as soon as it was said, and in the middle of the training, Yao Xia's cross was not grasped well, and the ball was high and floating, flying directly out of the bottom line!
"Hey, is this footwork training Superman?"
Vanney glanced left and right and saw that the old man was quite far away, so he boldly continued, "If you pass like this in the game, others will not recognize which team this is!" ”
Almost everyone heard clearly, but the person who couldn't hear was a little confused, and actually ran a few steps closer to confirm whether he was talking to himself.
There was still an apologetic smile on his face, and his honest appearance caused laughter.
Vanney was very proud, slowed down his voice and said: "You should go to Real Madrid, find David to learn the biography and come back." ”
After speaking, he felt that it was not enjoyable, and added in an accentuated tone, "Call your boss and say, I will pay for the air ticket!" ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes suddenly changed.
With the big game just around the corner, joking in training can help ease the tension, so Vanney's first few half-truths didn't draw the attention of his teammates. On the contrary, many people think that the Dutch still have the heart to joke after being criticized, which should be a sign of sincere remorse.
But as soon as the last sentence came out, the taste changed completely.
This remark directly pointed to the other party's low value, poor salary, and reluctantly stayed in the team by relying on relationships.
By what relationship?
Naturally, it was the relationship between Yumo and Ferguson.
The direction of those words suddenly became clear.
After being criticized, there is no way to trouble the master, so he will start with his little brother!
As soon as this attitude is demonstrated, everyone has to weigh the weight.
Yao Xia is at most a role player in the team, and Ruud van Nistelrooy is the rookie king of Manchester, and if there is a conflict between the two, the head coach will not take the Dutchman in this situation, even if he treats him with justice.
As a result, the former's situation is suddenly not good, and it is very likely that he will be repeatedly put in small shoes in the next few months, until the conflict intensifies and is out of control.
Of course, there is another possibility.
Lu Wei also participated in it, turning the contradiction that originally belonged to the Golden Boot into a fighting in the locker room, making both sides lose!
"Enough, Ruud, enough is enough!"
Captain Keane roared and ended the farce. Because Vanney's voice was not loud and his expression was quite confusing, Ferguson, who was standing on the other side of the field, did not notice. Lu Wei heard it clearly, but his facial expression did not fluctuate, and he continued to devote himself to training as if he was fine.
After returning to the hotel after training, Yao Xia, who was confused, finally figured out the ins and outs, and finally understood what kind of embarrassing situation he was facing.
After a highlight-reel game, his performances quickly dropped and his technical shortcomings were laid bare in the fast-paced pace of the Premier League. However, this situation was also expected by Ferguson, so the alternative was quickly proposed.
With his current strength and characteristics, he can be used as a surprise player, but not enough to play as Manchester United's starting right midfielder, so the position is temporarily played by Paul Scholes, and he occasionally makes up for more than 10 or 20 minutes of substitution.
With the team's performances at this stage of the game, including a narrow 1-0 win at home to a strong AC Milan in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, the plan has been well received and he has been positioned as a regular substitute in the squad and is expected to challenge for the main place once fully adapted to the Premier League.
There will always be some bumps in the rookie when integrating into the team, and it is normal to encounter unfair treatment, but the impact of being targeted by the red Manchester Ruud van Nistelrooy at this juncture cannot be taken seriously.
Yao Xia originally wanted to hear Lu Wei's opinion, but in the end he didn't get any answer, he was embarrassed to ask, so he could only figure it out by himself.
What can you figure out for yourself?
His family knows his own affairs, and this kind of thing is spread on his head, and he is a little blind.
Just when the decision was made to put it aside and focus on the big picture, an unexpected phone call came.
The guy who put him in a dilemma greeted him cordially on the phone, and talked about a bunch of painful topics such as whether he has confidence in tomorrow's game.
He could only hum and laugh, guessing with both hearts and minds whether it was the result of Lu Wei's report.
As a result, the other party heard that he was absent-minded, and he was about to hang up the phone after a few random words!
Lacking psychological preparation, he suddenly caught blind, holding the microphone in his hand and didn't know what to say.
The other party was silent for a while before asking, "What's the matter, Fanny put on your little shoes?" ”
Yao Xia breathed a sigh of relief, and was just about to speak, when the other party said again: "It seems that you don't want to say it, then I'll ask Mr. Lu." ”
"Huh?"
"Well, Ferguson called me and said that he had given Vanney a beating, and that was the end of it. Can I trust a rival manager, of course I'll have to make sure by phone! ”
Depend on!
Yao Xia scolded secretly, feeling that he was too low.
After thinking about it, I felt that it was not that I was too low, but that the other party was too tall and surpassed him by n levels!
In front of this tearful fact, his ears automatically thought about the other party's question, patted his chest, and said with a big grin: "Don't worry, boss, if you can't pass this level, I won't be surnamed Yao!" ”
The result was an even more tragic answer.
"Hey, is your surname Yao? How do I remember the last name? ”
......
Although they were 1-0 down early in the game, the Reds relied on stubborn defence to send the game into extra time, and finally beat AC Milan on penalties to lead to the quarter-finals.
The process is somewhat tragic, and the cost is not small.
Keane has accumulated three yellow cards in Europe and will miss the first leg of the quarter-finals. Scholes sprained his ankle and is expected to be out for two to three weeks.
Both of these are the main players of the iron fight, and the impact of their absence is not under the departure of Beckham, although the former is not currently under consideration, and the latter's injury is a bit worse.
Yao Xia is undoubtedly the first choice, but as soon as Fanny was put through small shoes, he became the main right forward, will the conflict between the two intensify in advance?
No one dared to rule it out, so the joy of Champions League qualification quickly faded and all eyes turned to Wembley Stadium.
There's an adversary they love and hate, and they're about to fight a battle for revenge tonight.
Compared to arch-rivals Liverpool, the Reds have good reason to consider Arsenal their lucky stars.
Think about it, if it weren't for the fact that they overcame obstacles last season, defeated countless strong opponents on three fronts, and finally habitually collapsed, how could Manchester United have won the unprecedented treble, created a dynasty and gone down in history?
With this in mind, the Manchester media, while secretly congratulating, quickly put the game behind them and began to pour fuel up for Arsenal on a one-sided basis.
That night, after seven o'clock, Ferguson's house.
The Manchester United team, which returned to Manchester in the afternoon, had been disbanded on the spot, but Lu Wei was called to stop and invited to the manager's home.
Ferguson did not invite anyone else over, and after learning that Zheng Zhi was not there, he simply invited him to come over alone, eat and drink, chat and watch the game.
The old man's move was intended to win people's hearts, and the purpose was the same as that of calling Youmo.
'The game should be easy to win and Arsenal look good!'
Seeing that the live broadcast started immediately, Ferguson was quite emotional, "They played better than us in the group stage, and the upward momentum is also above us, it seems that this team cannot be measured by last year's standards!" ”
Lu Wei rarely sighed, "Their kind of tofu scum defense line can remain undefeated until now...... I have to say that the character they saved last season played a big role! ”
As soon as the words fell, the two of them laughed at the same time.
The unbeaten record in 26 rounds of the league is truly staggering, and if it weren't for the 10-game draw that lowered the magical effect, the media would have touted the flesh for a long time.
However, in the eyes of true insiders, some draws are more rare than victories, and they are a true reflection of the hidden attributes of this team.
Stable play, full of tenacity, typical champion appearance!
Of course, the further the season goes, the more difficult it becomes, and the lessons of last season's blood and tears are still vivid, and the Arsenal people are really not optimistic.
As opponents, Manchester United also dare not be careless, otherwise the scene of the first leg between the two teams will still be repeated, and the possibility of giving up the championship after leading for more than half a season is not small at all!
"Yes, what you gain while losing depends on how you grasp it." Ferguson said with a smile, raised the wine glass in his hand, and sighed: "It's really strange, drinking with you doesn't have any guilt for bad children, but feels that everything is taken for granted." ”
Lu Wei smiled, serious, "Maybe you overestimate my self-control, in fact, when it comes to drinking and staying up late to play games, I'm not much worse than those guys who give you a headache!" ”
As soon as he heard this, the smile on Ferguson's face became brighter, "It's worth a toast for this sentence!" ”
With that, he raised his hand and drank the generous amount of red wine from the goblet.
Lu Wei didn't speak, just raised his glass, raised his head, and let all the wine in the cup be swallowed.
A flush swept over their faces, and the air was filled with the intoxicating smell of wine.
To be honest, Lu Wei is not used to this custom of eating first and then drinking, but from the perspective of health, it can be regarded as avoiding the negative impact of drinking on an empty stomach, and it can be regarded as a way of life for athletes to maintain health.
Of course, drinking in this way can't experience the atmosphere that is so strong that it can't be dissolved when the brothers are reunited.
"The game has started, Arsenal seem to have changed their line-up?"
Ferguson leaned over and carefully checked the names on the TV screen, and soon realized, "Wouldn't it be a bit risky to move your brother's position forward to midfield, Martin Keown and Kolo Toure as a colandering partner at central defence?" ”
Lu Wei thought quietly for a while and gave his answer.
"Probably planning to establish an advantage as soon as possible and quickly resolve the battle."
This answer made Ferguson first nod and then shake his head, and there was a solemnity in his voice, "The Marseille team is not so weak, although your brother played well in the last game, he is not in the same rhythm as the whole team in attack. It's okay to use him to disrupt the balance, and trying to establish the balance through his role is undoubtedly a thankless task! ”
Lu Wei nodded, but his voice was still relaxed and happy, "With 2 away goals in hand, defensive quality should be Arsenal's way to win, rather than establishing an advantage by scoring goals as soon as possible!" ”
Ferguson caught a glimpse of the smile on his lips and asked with a smile, "It seems that you have made a new discovery?" ”
Lu Wei doesn't sell Guanzi either, and the answer will come as soon as he opens his mouth.
"Wenger probably hasn't forgotten the injustice he suffered, how can he miss the perfect opportunity for revenge!"
"It seems so, yes!" Ferguson saw through the truth at a glance and laughed exaggeratedly, "However, you probably think that the game without suspense is too boring, right?" ”
"yes, or I'll fall asleep."
"What a guy with a big heart, that's your brother!"
"Now it's an opponent." (To be continued.) )
