Chapter Seventy-Three: Salute Before Soldiers
The adjective tender is not a compliment in most cases, and it is certainly no different now.
Sun Hai naturally knew what Keith wanted to do, especially after seeing him make things difficult for Gary Neville, so Sun Hai remained calm about Keith's question, at least on the surface, he didn't see any reaction.
He appears here today with two identities, one is his former Manchester City player, and the other is his Chinese identity like Lin Sen. For Manchester City, although it is already the former club, but since Sun Hai, who has a good relationship with Manchester City, has appeared here, it is naturally impossible to sit back and watch Manchester City become a "backward" party, as for him and Lin Sen, frankly speaking, except for the two general intersections of nationality and Manchester City, the two have no other contact, let alone meeting, and have not even been contacted.
"It depends on what you think of the word tender." Sun Hai said with a smile, "If you compare age and qualifications, then of course, Lin is tender in front of Ferguson, and I think in this regard, the vast majority of coaches stand in front of Ferguson, which is the case." But if it's a comparison, I think it's Lin who has the advantage at the moment, isn't it? ”
As he spoke, Sun Hai glanced at Gary Neville opposite from the corner of his eye.
It's not a-for-tat, although this is what Guise wants to see the most, but Sun Hai and Gary Neville, although they have been opponents of each other for a long time, but due to the position, they are almost a diagonal, and they don't have many opportunities to face each other on the court, in terms of fame, Sun Hai is certainly not as big as the other party, but this does not mean that he has to be humble at this time.
For Sun Hai's words, Gary Neville looked calm, although it was unpleasant, but Sun Hai said the truth. That damn young man, who was even younger than him, had an advantage over his mentor's record. And it's an absolute advantage.
Thinking of this, Gary Neville's brow couldn't help frowning slightly.
It is worth mentioning that the reason why he did not go to the Champions League final to watch the final was actually not entirely voluntary for Gary Neville, after he retired in February this year, he followed his own plan to turn down Sir Alex Ferguson, who had repeatedly retained him on the coaching staff, and turned to football commentary, and Sky TV was undoubtedly the best choice. They are also willing to offer him such a job, and in this case, at this time, Sky TV's invitation, he really can't shirk it.
Gise noticed Gary Neville's reaction, smiled in his heart, and invited two people of different colors to come, isn't that what he wants.
At this time, on the huge screen, which has always been the background of the three people's "chat", the large-scale theatrical performance that has been going on has finally come to an end. As the props on the pitch were quickly emptied, fans of different colors in the stands began to burst into enthusiastic cheers, which also signaled that the countdown to the start of the game had officially begun.
Guise, who was reminded, also turned his gaze to the screen, and then. Giving the camera to Andy Gray, who was on the scene, and Andy Gray was commentating on the game with his old partner Martin Taylor, a pair known as the world's best football commentary partners. There aren't many partners now, but whenever there is an important game, these two people are basically indispensable. And for the fans who watched the live broadcast on Guò TV, they have also become accustomed to the voices of the two.
"Hello and welcome to Wembley, it's the 2o1o/2o11 Champions League final against two teams we know very well, Manchester City and Manchester United. Here's Martin Taylor and Andy Gray'......"
The main theme of the Champions League has sounded, and the silver championship trophy is placed directly opposite the exit of the players' tunnel, just opposite the players on both sides who are slowly entering under the guidance of the referee at this time, almost all the players are difficult to control their eyes not to look at this trophy, even in Giggs and others, who have already lifted this trophy twice, are no exception.
After the music, Lin Sen, who rarely appeared in a suit and leather shoes, walked straight to Ferguson on the other side, and the latter also walked quickly towards him, and the two happened to stop not far from the Champions League trophy, and then smiled and shook hands and embraced, this image was included in the live camera, and it is obvious that it will soon appear in many newspapers and magazines.
In front of the trophy, salute first and then soldier.
Ferguson, who turned around, inadvertently took a deep breath.
In more than 20 years of coaching career, he has played nearly 1,000 games in charge, even on the highest stage like today, he has been here three times, for Ferguson, his heart may have long been accustomed to this kind of atmosphere, but the years are not forgiving, football has always been a test of the heart, especially the manager. As early as a few years ago, Ferguson was fitted with a pacemaker because of his heart dysfunction, and the reason goes without saying, but the heart can pace, and his body often reminds him that the day of departure is getting closer and closer.
Especially at times like these.
be1ieve!
In the dressing room just now, this is the word that Ferguson said the most, and there was no long speech, in such a game, it is impossible to arrange any tactics until before the game, at this time, Ferguson can do the same as he did a few days ago, adjust the psychological state of the players, and this is the most important thing for the manager to do at this time, and the most effective thing.
"Believe in yourselves! Trust your teammates! I believe in you, I believe that you can have a good appearance, and I believe that you will win in the end. ”
The words are for the team members, and they are also for themselves.
Sir Charlton said that he thought Manchester United was just a transitional period this season, and Ferguson actually did not expect his team to be able to go so far in the Champions League, you know, after Ronaldo left Madrid, Manchester United not to mention the introduction of a replacement of the same level, even the huge transfer fee brought by Ronaldo, did not use much, but it is with such a set of lineups that have been patched in the eyes of many football critics, Manchester United not only regained the league title from the imposing Manchester City and Chelsea, and even came to the highest stage in Europe.
Accidentally? There were some surprises, of course. It's just that, compared to the opposing team, Ferguson didn't feel that surprised.
This is not Ferguson's own opinion, and it was proved in the odds of the major bookmakers before the game. Whether it is Bin or William Hill, although the odds offered for the two teams to win the championship are not very different, they are all more optimistic about Manchester United without exception, and the reason for their optimism is experience.
Compared to Manchester United, Manchester City, who stumbled all the way to the final, is really not comparable to Manchester United in this regard.
The first season of the Europa League, the second season of the Champions League? Jose Mourinho has done it, but he hasn't just been in charge of Porto for two seasons.
Ferguson walked back to the dugout, then sat down in the middle of the three positions in the front row, straightened his suit, leaned his back against the backrest, and began to gaze at the upcoming game with a calm gaze.
Two people who are very familiar with each other fight, and the scene is obviously not good.
While knowing that you have to prevent the other party's hungry tiger from digging out your heart, you can prepare a heart shield early, and on the other hand, you understand that the other party's trick is to steal peaches, and you also wear a few more pairs of underwear early.
It's just that the confrontation between the two sides can't always stare at each other because of this, so the shape of the pose must always be placed, of course, at this stage, there is a name that can fool people, called the temptation stage.
Then, wait until the two sides test each other's bottom lines, and know that the two sides of this road are not working, and then you can start the next stage.
At this stage, I will call you back and forth.
Compared with the tentative stage, this stage is just as mild, but in the end, there is still a bit of gunsmoke.
In the fifteenth minute, the dull game finally showed the first shot on goal.
"Long shot from Yaya Toure! Above the beam! Although they didn't pose much of a threat to United's goal, the game finally had the first shot on goal, and it has to be said that both sides played too cautiously. In the past ten minutes, Andy Gray, who could barely watch the football pass and read the names of the players one after another, finally said something different, Rao knew that there was no good game in the competition, but such a game still made him feel a little dull.
"Caution is understandable." Martin Taylor is clearly much more calm than Andy Gray, "After all, it's a crucial game for both sides, and any one mistake could decide the final outcome of the match. However, I believe that this is only temporary, because the game still has to be solved by attack. ”
"Hopefully the sooner the better. I'm worried that if the game goes on like this, the fans on both sides might be able to tolerate it, but the neutral fans will probably fall asleep. Andy Gray made a joke.
……
With the players' tunnel as the middle line, Linson and Ferguson, who were both sitting in the dugout, formed a pair of symmetrical points.
Andy Gray is right, for neutral fans, excluding the meaning of the game itself, this is actually not a wonderful game, half an hour, the number of shots on goal on both sides has not exceeded one hand, originally thought that it would become the main battlefield of the two wings, whether it is Manchester City or Manchester United, the attack is shallow, it seems that there is not much offense, such a game, definitely not a game that neutral fans want to see.
However, this is only for neutral fans.
For the fans on both sides, the meaning of the game itself has long forgotten the so-called "wonderful", and for the managers on both sides, 0-0, at least a little bit, that is, the game is still in their control.
Yes, whether it is Ferguson or Linson, in fact, in their hearts, they all invariably put the time of the decisive battle in the second half.
Of course, this is not to give up the entire first half, but if the goal is an accident, if the goal is a surprise, if it is not conceded or scored, it is not sad or happy. (To be continued!)
