Chapter 327: Tangled Flores
******
Carrington training base, first team training ground.
Manchester United's first-team squad is rehearsing their attacking tactics for next week's Champions League quarter-finals.
At that moment, Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly slashed into the box from the left side of his seat.
Park Ji-sung on the right also passed the ball to the middle, and Van Nistelrooy was ready to go near the penalty spot, fighting for a place with Brown while pulling his shirt with his left hand to prevent the substitute centre-back who was competing with him for a header from reaching the football.
However, what they didn't expect was that neither of them fought for the cross, and the ball flew flat and fast to the back post.
Sir Alex Ferguson, who was standing on the sidelines, frowned, and in his impression, this kind of ball should be easy for Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was much better than the backup centre-back Brown.
Could it be that he is not in a bad state?
If the center is not in good shape, then it will be trouble!
Ferguson's gaze continued to follow the flight of the ball to the back post.
Because just now while he was thinking about the problem, a player wearing a yellow vest symbolizing the main team appeared in his field of vision, and he was interested at this moment.
According to the arrangement before the drill, the ball was passed to Van Nistelrooy, so no other attacking players were arranged to go in to grab the point.
Another striker, Wayne Rooney, was also asked to fight for the second spot, and there was no task to grab the point, who could it be?
Who would be so bold as to go against their own tactical arrangements?
Clearing his thoughts, Ferguson held his head high.
It's him?
Cristiano Ronaldo!
No wonder!
This kid from Sporting Lisbon, Portugal has never put himself at ease!!
Nemanja Vidic, who only joined the team during the winter break this year, saw where the football was going and didn't pay attention to the other players around him, so when he jumped, he found that someone was jumping higher than him, and ...... The judgment of the landing point is also more accurate!
This...... Unscientific!
Vidic jumped up in horror, although this time he may not be able to top the football, but he can interfere with the opponent as much as possible!
Ferguson looked at Cristiano Ronaldo, who was taller than Vidic, who was 1.91 meters tall, and a string touched in his mind, but he couldn't remember what it was.
Cristiano Ronaldo jumped very high this time, and when he jumped to the highest point, he suddenly felt a momentum, and he was about to lose his balance in the air, but how could he give up this opportunity lightly when he was determined?
Even when it's training!
At the same time as he was about to lose his balance, the football also flew over, and he fully felt that his forehead was on the top of the football, and he twisted his head in the air, and the football changed direction and flew towards the goal!
Hmmm――
The ball flew into the absolute corner of the near post and substitute goalkeeper Howard was unresponsive.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who finished football, also lost his balance, but fortunately he had a human punching bag of Nemanci under him, and it was fine.
Looking at Ferguson in the net, he slapped his thigh!
That's right!
Haven't you been struggling with how to deal with a technical team like Spain?
Why not build Cristiano Ronaldo into an all-round winger, like Valencia's Aillo? Doesn't he have this kind of technical foundation in front of him? Height, bounce, balance between left and right feet, and a long-range shot, and now you can burst into the box to grab points.
If you prepare well these days, the first leg of the Champions League next week can surprise Valencia!
Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the goal, was not happy, because the tactics arranged before Ferguson's training were not authorized to enter the penalty area to grab points, and now he rushed to the penalty area to grab points because of a sudden feeling, will this be treated as a 'hair dryer'?
At the same time, the assistant coach blew the whistle for the end of the training session.
He walked to the sideline with a sense of trepidation.
Especially when he saw Ferguson, who always had a straight face, he was even more apprehensive.
"Yes, Cristiano!"
Seeing Ferguson coming over, Cristiano Ronaldo became even more worried, will this be the prelude to the 'hair dryer'? Why don't you say it yourself? Maybe he'll be frank and lenient?
"Boss!" Cristiano Ronaldo finally made up his mind to confess, otherwise what if he didn't let himself play in the Champions League? Won't Iroh be laughed to death by then?
Although the relationship between the two is very good, competition in private is still indispensable!
With a super high self-esteem, how can he allow others to make fun of him??
"I didn't mean to go against your tactical arrangement just now, but I saw Park's pass when I was on the left side, and suddenly I felt that the football would be there, and then I went to fight for the top, and I didn't expect to go in......"
Oh?
Ferguson was stunned, not because of Cristiano Ronaldo's unwarranted 'feeling', but because his attitude, which has never been so good before?
Do you want to beat him?
Ferguson smiled in his heart, but his face was still flat, as if everyone owed him five million, and Cristiano Ronaldo didn't dare to look at the old coach Ferguson again after speaking, for fear that if he was angry, he would deprive himself of the opportunity to play in the Champions League knockout round in the middle of next week.
"Do you know the outcome of going against tactical intent?"
Cristiano Ronaldo was shocked, this won't be ...... The rhythm of the team ban, right?
"Know, but ......"
Ferguson frowned and exclaimed, "But what?? ”
Ferguson's tone suddenly rose an octave, which made the Manchester United players who were resting look at it, but because they were familiar with the manager's temper, they didn't discuss it out loud, but just watched.
"I, I ......"
Cristiano Ronaldo, who saw Ferguson's expression, also knew that the scare was almost over, but he couldn't suddenly make a 180-degree turn, so he had an idea, "Do you want to get the chance to play again?" ”
After Cristiano Ronaldo listened, his whole face was radiant, energetic, and he raised his head excitedly, "Think, think!" ”
"Good! Since we think so, let's make a bet, how about it? ”
"Bet?" Cristiano Ronaldo muttered in his heart, but when he thought of his chance to play, he nodded again and again, "Okay!" ”
"If you promise me to score 20 goals for the rest of the season, then not only will I start you in the Champions League knockout game in midweek, but you'll also be able to move closer to the box and be freer! How is it? ”
Ferguson chewed gum and snapped.
"Huh?"
Not only the person concerned, Cristiano Ronaldo, was surprised, but even the players at Carrington's first-line training ground were surprised, is this still the stubborn old Scottish man of the past?
Of course, the most surprising thing was the 20 goals scored in the rest of the season, which ......
Although Manchester United still have the task of the League Cup, FA Cup, league and Champions League, it is ...... 20 goals is too much, right? Even Ruud van Nistelrooy, the top scorer on the inside, can't do it, right?
Especially the little fat Rooney, who is worried about Cristiano Ronaldo next to him.
This concern is two-sided and contradictory.
He wants to appear in the Champions League with Cristiano Ronaldo in midweek, but he doesn't want Ronaldo to agree to Ferguson's gamble, because those who know Ferguson well know that he will definitely have a backhand for such a big sweetness.
But Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't care so much, for the opportunity to fight directly with Iroh in the middle of the week, he didn't think about it, so he nodded directly, "Okay, I'll take this bet!" ”
This time it was Ferguson's turn to be surprised, is it so confident? It looks like you're going to keep banging, "I haven't said what the punishment will be if you don't have it this season!" ”
Belch......
"What punishment?" Cristiano Ronaldo asked subconsciously.
"If you don't meet the target at the end of the season, then ...... Next season, you're ready to sit on the cold bench for half a season!! ”
Ferguson said lightly.
With all the attention to Alex Ferguson and Cristiano Ronaldo, the rest of the squad sweated for the latter, and the bet was too ...... Shameless, right?
Fanny may not be able to do it!!
At this moment, Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and said firmly: "Okay, boss! I promise!!! ”
Suddenly, the players watching the excitement seemed to have hallucinations at this moment, and saw a faint dazzling light appear behind Cristiano Ronaldo.
******
Ferguson has said in a public interview with reporters that there are only three players in his team who have the potential to become international superstars, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Fletcher.
And the performance of these three young players did not disappoint everyone, and they were often able to stage a scene that made everyone's eyes shine.
So Flores still knows these very well.
But the problem in front of him is not these three young players, but the most senior Giggs in the team, this is an old player, quite troublesome!
The other is Van Nistelrooy, known as the king of the small forbidden area.
Of course, the rest of the squad at Manchester United is not to be underestimated.
Fresh off the national derby, it's normal for Flores to be a little flirtatious.
But I also know that I have to get my mentality right, after all, the next thing to face is Manchester United, coached by Alex Ferguson.
You must know that Manchester United, under the leadership of Alex Ferguson, is the team that has won the most Premier League titles since the establishment of the Premier League, and it is not one of them!
Stability is the biggest characteristic of this team.
When he finished studying Manchester United's attacking line, he began to study his own attacking play, and now Elo's ability has been widely recognized, but ...... Will this be a particular concern for Manchester United?
If Manchester United pay special attention to Elo, will the technical and tactical style of play be limited in the near future? So will the team be hated away from home?
Why not have David Villa or Vicente in this game?
However, Ailo has become a bit of a trend of Valencia's number one star, will this cause discord among the generals?
Flores is torn between internal harmony on the one hand, and the team's winning strategy on the other.
