Chapter 59 No Hurry, No Hurry!

When the "Manchester United Double" was calling for wind and rain in the England team, UEFA also conducted the draw for the quarterfinals of the Champions League...... Real madrid!

In the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League, English teams occupy three places, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Arsenal finally entered the quarterfinals.

In addition, Spanish teams have two seats, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have reached the quarterfinals, and these two Madrid teams will be working hard to find a new way out of Spanish football after Barcelona were eliminated.

Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich were as strong as ever, beating France Marseille 3-1 on aggregate in the first leg.

However, two teams from Milan City, Italy, showed surprising fighting power, AC Milan and Inter Milan both advanced to the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League, but these two teams also performed very thrilling in the first round of the knockout round, eliminating Lyon and Benfica of Portugal with a score of 3:2.

In general, the overall strength of this season's Champions League quarterfinals is not very strong, and the two teams that can compete with the "Red Devils" Manchester United are none other than Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

However, Manchester United drew Real Madrid, which naturally made Simon? Grayson received a lot of attention, and reporters were eager to hear if "Brutal Simon" had any objections to the draw.

"The draw was made in front of everyone, so I have no problem with the result at all, although Real Madrid is strong. But I guess we're supposed to be the big hits, right? We haven't lost a game so far this season, so Real Madrid can try to give us a taste of defeat. ”

Simon? Grayson was full of confidence, and Ancelotti came out with a big fat face full of seriousness: "I have a lot of confidence in my team, but no one can take this Manchester United team lightly, especially the most threatening Shaq in their team. The young star already has the game-defining ability of Maradona at his peak, if not better, and we have to give it our all against Manchester United. ”

Simon? The attitude of Grayson and Ancelotti can easily make it clear which is stronger and which is weaker now, the contrast between the first team in Europe and the first team in England may be more famous Real Madrid, but no one believes that Real Madrid will win anyway, because this season's "Red Devils" are really strong to the point of outrageous, a goal scored by Shaq is enough to make many teams feel ashamed, this game will definitely be a Mars hit the earth of the century.

Back in Manchester, Simon? Grayson began to think about how the team should play next. Now that "Chubby" Rooney has returned from injury and has proven that his form is not at all problematic in England's match against Lithuania, Manchester United can now play the "solar system tactics" again, but after watching Shaq's play in the center forward position, Simon? Grayson hesitated.

"Solar System Tactics" can give full play to Shaq's all-round strength such as scoring, organizing, defending, and passing accurately, but Shaq's threat in attack has also decreased a lot, but Shaq, who plays center, has shown shocking efficiency.

When he was at Leeds United, Simon? Grayson is not going to change his "solar system tactics" in any way. But now he has to think about it, is it necessary to continue to persevere?

Or...... Just let Shaq switch to center in the future!?

But if Shaq plays center. And how should Rooney arrange it!?

Simon? Grayson has never been able to find the answer in his heart, the mind of having both fish and bear's paws is something that a person can have, and "Cruel Simon" also wants to find a way to get the best of both worlds, but it is just ...... It's hard!

But on the first day of the team's regrouping training, Simon? Grayson found a solution. Although this solution was provided to him by someone else, it doesn't matter, what matters is to Simon? Grayson proposed the solution to the ...... Rooney!

"Boss, now it's enough for the team to have Shaq to score, I want to rip off the striker position!"

Yes!?

Simon? Grayson was dumbfounded when he heard Rooney's first words. When did the "little fat", who has always liked to be competitive, actually give in!?

Could it be ...... Did Shaq really have such an impact on Wayne Rooney when he became the new king of Manchester United!?

See Simon? Grayson frowned, and Rooney smiled: "Boss, I'm ...... Well, I'm just talking about it, and if you think the team needs me to keep scoring goals, then I'm going to stay ahead. ”

"Wayne, can you tell me why you're making this request? It can't be to make way for Shaq, right? ”

"It's not!"

Rooney smiled and shook his head: "Boss, I'm 29 years old now, I feel like I've never been better this season, and I've really paid off on the pitch, I've scored a lot of goals and provided a lot of assists to my team-mates, but I'm still injured, just a thigh muscle strain, and I've been recuperating for almost three weeks, I think...... Well, I feel like my body is starting to go downhill, and my personal doctor gave me advice that if I can move the ball backwards, it will prolong my athletic life! So...... Of course, boss, I'm willing to charge for the team if the team needs it! ”

Simon? Grayson shook his head repeatedly, he had heard early on that Rooney had a dedication to his team, and only now did he know how selfless "Chubby" had been, and he was willing to trade his career for the benefit of the team, although ...... Well, although this kid is greedy for money, in terms of this energy, he is the kind of player who can contribute more to the club.

"Wayne, have you thought about it? You know, when you leave the striker position, you get a lot less attention. ”

"It's fine!"

Rooney grinned: "Boss, don't worry, I thought it through a long time ago, I want to play with Shaq for a few more years now, win a few more championships, I still think my championship trophy is too few!" Hey, hey, hey, hey......"

Listened to Rooney, Simon? Grayson couldn't help but wonder, this kid even thinks that he has few trophies, he has won a lot of championships under the "old man" Ferguson!

"Okay, that's it, you start playing in the midfield position when we go back to training, well, you replace Cleverley and Ganso in the midfield, you can find your own feeling."

“OK！”

Rooney confidently compared a V-shaped player, he is not the first time to play the midfield position, he as a front-court panacea, in Ferguson, Moyes have played in the midfield position, wingers, full-backs can be picked up anytime and anywhere, and even when the team needs, he can also play a cameo in the back, and no matter what position, Rooney can play decently, the reason why he has today's status is inseparable from this.

Although Rooney is only 29 years old now, he has arranged a back road for himself, because he has a kind and simple wife Colleen who always cares about him, the two childhood sweethearts are too familiar with each other, every time Rooney causes trouble outside, and even has a few scandals, in the end Colleen tolerates it with her love for Rooney, and now Colleen also helps Rooney plan the future, that is, to prolong his sports life as much as possible, and then even if he takes a salary cut, he will play at Manchester United for a few more years, After retiring from winning a few more trophies with Shaq, Rooney will surely become a legend for Manchester United and England, and his personal reputation will always be high.

On April 4, Manchester United travelled to play Derby County in the 31st round of the Premier League. Grayson once again sent all the main players, because this game is also quite important for the "Red Devils", if they win this game, they will win the league title seven games ahead of schedule, and the "Blues" who are second in the table have theoretically no chance of catching up.

Derby County manager "Big Sam" Allardyce vs. Simon? Grayson, an old opponent, is still quite familiar, after he saw Manchester United's starting list, he thought that Manchester United was going to play "solar system tactics" again, but when the game began, he found that Rooney's position was actually in the midfield, and Shaq, the center forward who has scored 11 goals in the last three games, was actually at the front again, and Allardyce knew it...... Bad thing!

Sam Allardyce is also one of the people who has watched Shaq grow up, he thought that Shaq would be the arrowhead of Manchester United's attack in this game, but he didn't expect Shaq to play other roles in this game...... Assists!

In the first 19 minutes of the game, Shaq sent a cross in the penalty area on the left, and Nani, who followed up on the right, scored the ball with a furious shot, and the away Manchester United led 1-0.

Then in the 26th minute of the game, Shaq took a free kick on the left side of the arc of the penalty area, and everyone thought that this time Shaq would definitely choose an earth-shattering long-range shot to attack the goal, but Shaq turned with his right foot at the moment of the penalty and pushed the ball to the feet of Di Maria in the left penalty area.

The Argentine didn't expect Shaq to do that at first, but he reacted quickly and volleyed the ball into the far corner with the outside of his left foot and into the bottom right corner of the Derby goal...... 2:0！

After the team took a two-goal lead, Rooney patted Shaq on the shoulder with a smile: "Shaq, you kid don't want to score 100 goals?" What's the point of always playing assists like this? Don't let me down and make room for you! ”

Shaq grinned, "Wayne, why are you more anxious than me?" Don't worry, there will be goals, don't worry, don't worry! (To be continued......)
