Chapter 41: Waves

Manchester United left Leeds with three points, but the matter was not over, on the day of the game, many local media in Leeds all took the headline with the word "traitor" as the headline, saying that it was natural that Shaq was returning to the Elland Road stadium and staged a "big four" in the game against his old club.

"Shaq's individual ability is still as strong as Superman, but he still spares no effort to poke four holes in his old club when he has already ensured Manchester United winning, which is cruel!"

"At Elland Road, Leeds fans call their former hero Shaq 'traitor'! But this time, I believe that no Leeds fan will speak for Shaq, because Shaq has torn all the love of Leeds fans for him with four goals! ”

"Shaq showed no mercy to his old club, and even smiled when Kjaer injured a torn ankle ligament, is that really what a professional player should do? Shaq's skills are impeccable, but we can't help but doubt his moral character, just half a year after leaving his parent club, he brutally humiliated his parent club with four goals, I really want to know what Shaq thought at the time! ”

The Leeds media spoke reasonably sensibly, and when the Leeds fans' representative "Service Gang" simply began to bombard Shaq, they directly published a crusade on their website......

Shaq, we used to love you so much, we used to love you like our own children, we used to worship you as if you were our God!

When you left, we blessed you, hoping that your career can climb to a higher peak, and we send our most sincere blessings to you!

But everything that happened tonight made us feel your cruelty and your coldness!

Your heart. It's cold!

From now on, you will no longer be our idol or hero, you will be our enemy, our mortal enemy!

The service gang and Shaq broke up completely, and it didn't attract much attention at first, after all, Shaq is a professional player. He scored for his new club, Manchester United, which is understandable and normal.

But in the following week, instead of disappearing, the voices criticizing Shaq intensified......

"Good ball skills, poor character, Shaq ruthlessly slaughtered the old club!"

"There is no loyalty in the face of money, and Shaq has already earned a salary of tens of millions of pounds a year at Manchester United. But his character is not to be criticized! ”

"The inside story of Shaq's switch to Manchester United, for the sake of money, England's all-time first violent striker abandoned loyalty!"

"A player who can brutally slaughter his own parent team, he will never miss the kindness of his new club in other teams, and one day the 'Red Devils' will definitely taste the betrayal of his own star!"

"Manchester United poached players from other clubs, only based on strength and not morality, and there will no longer be loyal servants such as Ryan Giggs, Bart and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer."

In the beginning, the media was only talking about the 8-3 win over Leeds United itself. But in the next few days, things turned into everyone directly doubting and even criticizing Shaq's moral integrity. And the turmoil has intensified, and it has even formed a new view that clubs need to examine the loyalty of their players.

On January 28, in Manchester United's home game against the Gunners, Shaq scored three goals with an overhead kick to complete the "hat-trick", but in the course of the game, there were even sparse boos in the Old Trafford stadium. Manchester United fans also seem to be unhappy with Shaq.

After the 23rd round of the English Premier League, Manchester United is still at the top of the table with 69 points with a winning record of 23 games and 23 wins, which is as many as 16 points ahead of the second-placed "Blues" Chelsea.

Can Simon? Grayson couldn't be happy at the moment, he was already anxious about Shaq's situation, and even went to Shaq's agent Glenn? Oxley discussed.

Don't look at Shaq as if he didn't care. Can Simon? Grayson didn't dare to take it lightly, he has seen too many similar situations, many players have been in a long-term slump under the attack of the media to create public opinion, and they will not regain their form until the mentality matures, and even some simply collapse and become wastewood.

Simon? Grayson also suspects that there is likely to be someone behind this incident, otherwise it is just Leeds United, and it is impossible for so many media outlets to jump out and get involved, and these media will not risk offending the "Red Devils" to curry favor with Leeds United.

But Simon? Grayson was quick to respond by giving interviews to a number of media outlets, highlighting the incident: "I don't know why you think Shaq is of inferior character, if it's just because he scored four goals against his parent team, I think it's complete nonsense! What Shaq did was just the basic quality of a professional footballer! While playing for Leeds United, Shaq helped the team win the 'Quadruple Crown' with one goal after another, and he was worthy of every penny Leeds United paid him! ”

"On weekdays, Shaq trained hard, played hard and was very united with his team-mates, and I even knew that they had a small group of players called the 'Fencers', which included almost all the young players of Leeds United at the time, and Shaq was still the leader! If Shaq's character is not up to par, how can his teammates rally around him? So those who doubt Shaq's character can shut your mouths and bark like a pack of mad dogs, which only reveals your biting nature! ”

Simon? Grayson stepped forward first to provide protection for his proud disciple, and Shaq's agent, Glenn? Oxley is not idle, he is actively investigating this matter, and he is also very methodical, after realizing that Shaq's image is being smeared, he went all out to start the investigation, and soon had the result, but this result made Simon? Grayson and Glenn? Oxley had even more headaches because ...... There are so many people behind this!

According to various clues, in the smear of Shaq, the suspects include Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Everton, Newcastle and many other clubs.

Just a little bit of thought, Simon? Grayson knows the purpose of these people, Manchester United is so strong this season, all the competitors in England can't raise their heads, and they can't beat Manchester United in the arena, these people are naturally going to make some dishonorable means, and Shaq, the core of the Manchester United team, is of course the first to bear the brunt.

At this time, the trend of public opinion has also changed again, and the media don't know where to find out the photos of Shaq and Melissa showing their affection in the past, and then put Shaq on the hat of a "negative man", saying that it was because Shaq abandoned his girlfriend in order to transfer to Manchester United, and even had a fight with Melissa's father because of this.

No one has verified the authenticity of these gossip at all, as long as it is to the appetite of fans and can bring sales and benefits to their own media, they will all publish it desperately.

Simon? Grayson's remarks in support of Shaq were almost completely in vain and did not have the slightest effect, but fortunately, Shaq's form did not seem to have been affected too much, and he scored a hat-trick against Arsenal.

Seeing that the public opinion turmoil was becoming more and more intense, Shaq was also annoyed enough by the reporters, who surrounded him like flies every day, at the Carrington training base, at the gate of his house, and everywhere he could meet twenty or thirty reporters squatting.

What annoyed Shaq the most was the family's newlywed wife Zong Wan'er, this little girl actually ate boundless flying vinegar, and had a cold war with Shaq for three or four days before she was willing to listen to Shaq's explanation, and after learning that Melissa abandoned Shaq because she wanted to pursue her career, this little girl first comforted Shak, and then began to get to the bottom of it, and asked Shaq and Melissa all the process and details of their acquaintance.

Even when making out with Shaq, he asked Shaq who was sexier between himself and Melissa, and Shaq wilted on the spot, this little girl started crying, saying that Shaq didn't like herself and how, Shaq coaxed her all night to be appeased, and he had to go to the Carrington base to train exhausted at dawn, Rao is that his physical fitness has reached the limit of human beings, but he can't stand such a toss!

On 28 January, the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-finals kicked off, with Manchester United playing Aston Villa away, in which the Red Devils won 1-0 away thanks to a goal from Hernandes.

Can Simon? Grayson never showed a smile in this game, even if Hernandez scored for the team at the end of the first half, "Brutal Simon" did not applaud or smile, because ...... Simon? Grayson's worst fears happened.

In this game, although Shaq still played the start, he was replaced by Valencia in the 67th minute, because ...... Shaq's form in the game is worse than ever!

In the game, Shaq did not score or assist, but this is not to make Simon? Where Grayson is anxious, the real problem lies in Shaq's attitude towards the game, this kid is not active in the game, he is not fierce in the scramble, and the running position when outflanking is also disorderly, it is completely straight up, and then run back, it can be said that Shaq's performance in this game is too negative and too sluggish!

And this ...... Exactly Simon? Grayson's worst fear!

No, I'm sleepy, let's write this, the fat man went to sleep, and when he woke up, he continued the code! Khan ~~~~~~ overestimated himself! (To be continued......)
