Chapter 46: The Charity Shield

Edward Sr. was watching the game on the television at home, and when the game was over, he went to the wine cabinet in a good mood and poured himself a glass. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

He didn't care at all about the first half of the game, and even wanted to fall asleep, knowing that he was not a Manchester United fan, although Andy had booked a box at Old Trafford for a year after joining Manchester United, but it was also to watch his grandson play.

In the second half, Andy came on the pitch and watched the game intently, when he saw Andy score, when he saw that the score was equalized because of Andy's goal, he jumped up from the sofa like a child and cheered loudly, when Andy scored the winning goal to overtake the score, he whistled at the TV, at that moment it was not like a 75-year-old man at all but more like an energetic young man.

"Andy, well done, let everyone know you're a genius, and to hell with the guys who say you can't play football!"

Edward Sr. raised his glass and saluted Andy, who was being televised in a close-up on the television as he was exiting.

Let's turn our attention to Wembley Stadium after the game.

After Andy scored the game-winning goal, Arsenal also organised a sharp attack, pressing heavily to equalise, but they faced Manchester United instead of some fish-belly teams, and Anelka wasted a couple of chances, they were almost taken advantage of by Manchester United to score a goal in the back, and the game ended in the final tug-of-war.

When the whistle was blown by the referee at the end of the game, Andy stopped running, for the second half of the game he still has physical strength, in the last time he has been running, looking for opportunities, but unfortunately there is little time left until the end of the game he did not receive a few balls.

Either way, he proved himself in this game, and the teammates who are now cheering him on speak for themselves.

Phil Neville, who rushed from the bench, jumped on Andy's back at once, and said excitedly in an envious tone: "Andy, perfect performance, I'm already starting to be jealous of you, you know, I sat in the chair for a full 90 minutes!" ”

"Haha, I didn't expect to score so soon." Andy said with a laugh.

A group of teammates from Roy Keane, Andy Cole, Nicky Bhatt, Ryan Giggs and David Beckham also gathered around and began to tease him, slapping his body and rubbing his hair. For this little brother, they really accepted him at the moment.

Moments later, after the ravages of their teammates, the entire team joined hands and came to the stands where the United fans were standing to applaud and thank the fans who had come from afar to support them, and the fans also sang and shouted the names of one player in another.

Andy was intoxicated as he listened to his name coming out of the fans' mouths, and he found the feeling to be amazing.

Kelly Brooke kept shouting Andy's name, and she had already stood up from her chair, wearing a Manchester United shirt with Andy's number on it, waving her white arms, and the chest of the shirt was held up by her roundness, and she kept shouting, hoping that Andy could hear her.

Andy did hear Kelly Brooke's shouts that were enveloping the loud voices of all the fans, so he waved in her direction, made a phone call, and after getting a response, he hugged Phil Neville, who had been complaining, and walked towards the locker room.

The televised camera gave Andy a close-up, with a cameraman carrying the camera following him throughout, and the scene was once again relayed to a national audience.

In the mixed area, reporters crowded together excitedly, and they were all seizing advantageous positions. …,

When the players from both sides came over, these reporters stopped them one by one and threw countless questions out of their mouths, but unfortunately these questions were all about their thoughts on Andy, who had just come on for Manchester United today.

As a loser, the Arsenal player with good demeanor casually praised a few words, and the bad person, such as Patrick Vieira, walked over without even paying attention to such a question.

The Manchester United players certainly maintained their demeanor as victors, and they did not hesitate to praise Andy in front of reporters.

However, when Andy and Phil Neville appeared in the players' tunnel, all the reporters immediately turned their guns and rushed straight towards Andy.

"Andy, what do you think about scoring a brace in this game?"

"Andy, do you think you'll have to do that in the next game?"

"Andy, do you think you've adapted to football, which is more involved in football, football or rugby?"

"Is Kelly Brooke your only girlfriend, or one of them?"

Reporters scrambled to get Andy's attention, and all sorts of questions were thrown at him.

Fortunately, although Andy is still a newcomer on the football field, he also knows the truth of the sedan chair carried by everyone, so he smiled at the reporter and pointed to his teammates who were about to watch him play.

"I don't answer questions about my private life, I think it's my privacy, and as for the game, I think I've scored two goals but I'm still a newcomer, so I need to work harder

Victory is achieved by everyone's hard work, so you should go and interview them, thank you! ”

After Andy replied calmly like this, he ignored the reporters and walked directly to the locker room.

Back in the locker room, Andy was beaten up by his teammates who followed later, scolding him for being cunning and unjust, so he left them to the reporter and ran away by himself.

Andy likes this kind of atmosphere, such a collective, and such a team is very enjoyable for him, especially the young people in it, although he has been doused with beer by everyone now.

Andy, who grew up playing football in England, knew about the tradition, but it was the first time he had seen it, so he soon joined the team that poured beer over each other until the assistant coach reminded them to take a shower and change clothes to collect their medals.

The CharityShield is an annual tournament hosted by the English Football Association between the Premier League winners and the FA Cup winners, with all proceeds used for charity.

Andy was thrilled when he stepped onto the podium in a brand new jersey with his teammates cheering all over the field, and as a teenager he fantasized about one day scoring goals on this stadium, and he did it today.

Andy couldn't help but be in a trance for a while, and he didn't come back to his senses until captain Roy Keane came to his side and motioned for him to hold up the plate-shaped medal together.

"Me?" Andy pointed at himself in disbelief.

"You're the hero of the day, of course you!" Roy Keane liked the young man in front of him very much, so he answered him in a tone that could not be questioned.

Andy walked up to Roy Keane in a daze under the envious eyes of his teammates.

He stretched out his hands and held up the medal for the Charity Shield champion with Roy Keane, and when the cold touch in his hand came he believed it was real.

Applause, music echoed throughout the stadium at this moment, Andy and Roy Keane both held their medals high, and the excited smiling faces of their teammates around them were frozen here.

Alex Ferguson was bombarded by reporters at the press conference after the awards, and it was no surprise that almost all the questions were about Andy. …,

It stands to reason that Ferguson wants to bring Andy, the best player of the game, but he came alone without thinking about the purpose of protecting young players, and he didn't want this young man who had already received too much media attention to be lost under the praise of the British media.

The reporters waited in the press conference hall early, although according to their understanding of Ferguson, he would never bring Andy with him, but when he really saw that only the old man came alone, he couldn't help but complain in disappointment, but the voice was very small, and they were afraid that if the old man was unhappy, he would leave directly.

"Coach Alex Ferguson, how did you come up with the idea of bringing a rugby star to Manchester United?" A reporter asked a question that was of great interest to everyone.

"The kid told me he grew up playing football and that he played football better than rugby, so I called him for a tryout." Ferguson replied with a smile, a question that tickled his itch.

"Do you think it's risky to put a young man who hasn't played football in three years in a big game like this?" A reporter stood up and asked.

Ferguson looked at the reporter with idiotic eyes, and did not reply until the other party sat down: "Even if he hasn't played for three years, he is better than those who play every day, if you don't agree with me, you go find a 17-year-old player who can score two goals for Arsenal in 30 minutes, and I will sign him immediately!" ”

"But how do you know he's going to score goals when he's on the pitch, maybe it's because he's a rookie and they don't take him seriously." Contradictionists are everywhere.

'I'm a coach and I know my players and that's why I'm sitting on top and you're down there. If you think the opponent doesn't pay attention, what do you think of the second ball? Ferguson sarcastically asked the reporter who asked the question.

The reporter below knows this old man too well, if you ask some questions that question his decision, he will definitely not give you good fruit to eat, and quickly changed the subject.

"Coach Alex Ferguson, what do you think of Andy and how he performs on a regular basis and today?" The journalist who asked the question was clearly a pro-Manchester United media outlet.

'Andy, he's been training hard since he came into the team. And he's not only physically good, he's also mentally good, so my performance today surprised me, but it's the result of his hard work, and I can only say I'm satisfied. Ferguson was in a good mood, so he answered the question very kindly.

"Will you arrange for Andy in the next game?"

"I put the players on the pitch because of their usual training attitude and condition, so I don't know it now!"

Alex Ferguson went straight back to the dressing room after tackling the reporters.

After praising the players' performance in the game, he came to Andy in a kind way and praised him individually, and then warned him not to be complacent and so on.

Then he announced that he would have a day off tomorrow, and everyone could go directly to the training base the day after tomorrow to report and leave.

"Great!"

"Which bar do we go to at night?"

A group of young people shouted hooray, and groups of three or two sat around discussing where to go for the night, and even Roy Keane, the captain, was discussing with the veteran Sheringham.

"Andy, come with us to the bar in the evening, you're from London, and you scored 2 goals today, so you have to have a treat!" Phil Neville had already come over to blackmail Andy.

"Yes, yes, Andy is in for a treat!"

A group of people who wanted to drink liquor and eat white food hurriedly agreed.

"I want to go to the bar to treat you, but the problem is that I'm not old enough to enter the bar!" Andy stood up and spread his hands helplessly to everyone, but another thought had already appeared in his mind. …,

"It's boring, that's when I remembered that you were still a child!" Phil Neville patted Andy on the shoulder sympathetically, and everyone in the locker room couldn't help but laugh when they remembered Andy's age.

"Guys, I'm not done yet, although I can't go to the bar, then I can drink at home, I'm from London, you know, when I played rugby in the United States, everyone would have a party every time I won a game, and today I will invite everyone to my house party, if you have a girlfriend in London, you can come together?" Andy then spoke his mind.

The crowd cheered again, but there were also different opinions.

"So what if I don't have a girlfriend, Andy?" Phil Neville was a little embarrassed now.

"It's okay, my girlfriend is a model, I called him and asked him to bring all the models from their company, and I think they would be happy to participate." Andy thought for a moment and replied.

"Bring more, I'll go alone, I don't bring a girlfriend." Alvin came to this sentence funny.

Andy hurriedly called the housekeeper at home to arrange everything, and by the way, he informed Kelly Brooke, and after it was done, he stood up and clapped his hands, "Everyone, I have already arranged, let's enjoy this victory night tonight!" ”

The roar of a pack of wolves resounded through the locker room again。。。。。。
