Star card system

Chapter 317
In the post-match press conference, Van Gaal was unusually peaceful.

In the past, when he lost a game, Van Gaal would have a dark face and didn't want to say hello to anyone or talk to anyone.

But today is different.

Facing the questions from the reporters one after another, Van Gaal appeared very calm and answered the questions one by one.

After answering, he formally faced his own question for the first time.

"I don't want to judge this game, I will leave everything to time.

"I want to talk about Xia, about this talented star.

"Yes, I think Xia is no longer just a talented player, he is a talented star,

"It's a big star!
"A Premier League champions playmaker,
"A young midfield maestro who led his team to the semi-finals of the Champions League,
"Xia deserves to be called a star.

"Looking back on my career, I've missed many things,
"But missing xia must have been my biggest mistake.

"I admit.

"Two seasons ago, Xia and I had a long chat on the plane.

"to be honest,

"At the time I didn't think much of a young guy who was showing up in the Championship.

"I don't think he's going to have a lot of talent, I don't think he's going to be in the Premier League, either.

"I don't even think Manchester United is worth keeping him.

"If he goes out on loan and develops slowly, maybe I will accept him to stay.

"But Xia refused.

"At the time I thought he was a little arrogant.

"A player at the Championship level, what qualifications does he have to negotiate with me?

"What, do you still want to be in the Manchester United first team?
"If you want to stay, then go out on loan, it is impossible to stay in the team, without your place.

"If you don't want to stay, you can leave anytime!

"In just one sentence, Manchester United lost a big player, I am very sorry, I am sorry.

"I didn't expect Xia to grow into a first-class player in the Premier League in just one season.

"Last season, I was still thinking, if I had kept Xia, maybe he would have enriched my bench depth.

"I didn't expect it, I still had a shallow thought.

"It took another season, Xia completely broke out of her cocoon and turned into a butterfly.

"He has become a superstar all over Europe, winner of the European Golden Boy Award.

"His talent is visible to the naked eye. I even think he understands football better than Ronaldo and Messi.

"Because he has more comprehensive skills and a deeper understanding of football than the Peerless Shuangjiao.

"Today, Xia led the second team of Leicester City and defeated us.
"For this result, I am convinced.

"Xia, I lost the contest with you.

"You are a genius, I was wrong."

Van Gaal kept his eyes fixed on the front of his face as he said those words.

In fact, he didn't look at the reporter, but at the white wall in front of him.

It seems that on the white wall, he has seen bits and pieces of himself in the past two seasons.

When speaking the last two sentences, Van Gaal retracted his eyes and looked to the side.

At this time, Xia Xing was beside Ranieri.

Xia Xing also looked at Van Gaal sincerely with a peaceful expression.

No grievances or complaints about being abandoned.

Yes, what is there to be dissatisfied and resentful about?

I had a great time at Leicester City.

If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't have had the chance to take the lead.

It is also impossible to reach this step and grow so rapidly.

If I stayed at Manchester United to watch the drinking fountains, I would never reach this height.

Looking back now, I should also thank Van Gaal.

Seeing Van Gaal's sincere eyes, Xia Xing stood up and came to Van Gaal's side.

Without saying anything, he shook hands vigorously and smiled slightly.

That's all.

Both of them knew that they would not meet as opponents next season.

The unhappiness of the past is gone with the wind.

In international football, how can there be so many real grievances?

It's just that the way is different, it's just that the philosophy of football is different.

Let everything go with the wind.

With this grip, all grievances and hatred will be wiped out with a smile.

As the night passed, news about Van Gaal's imminent resignation was flying all over the sky.

But this has nothing to do with Leicester City.

They only care about one thing, which is the second leg of the Champions League semi-final in the middle of next week.

Playing Atletico Madrid is really stressful.

The feeling of oppression felt like facing a pack of wolves, not even inferior to Real Madrid and Barcelona who played against each other before.

Atletico deserves all the respect for being able to compete against the Double Stars and compete for the championship in the Western Super League.

However, we wish you the best of luck in winning the league title, but don't even think about qualifying for the Champions League final!

On May 5th, Leicester City was a guest at the Metropolitan Stadium to challenge the already ready-to-go Sheet Army.

This game is at Atletico Madrid's home court, and they started with a wave of onslaught.

And the subsequent attacks have been wave after wave!
Leicester City also played with all their main players, but they were also extremely struggling!

This kind of counterattack is sharp, against a life-threatening opponent, it is really difficult to deal with.

In this game at Atletico Madrid's home court, the referee's whistle was obviously soft.

In the first few confrontations, the Leicester City players turned their backs, but the referee didn't play a card, at most he called a foul.

Ranieri on the sidelines even wondered if that guy forgot to bring a red and yellow card?

In the 21st minute of the game, Ranieri's worst fears finally appeared on the court.

In an Atletico Madrid corner kick, Huth scrambled for a header and was knocked to the ground by Godin who grabbed a header!
Godin's movement was a bit big, but the referee didn't blow his whistle!

It was just a goal kick to Leicester City.

But Hoot couldn't get up.

The team doctor helped Huth off the field and was diagnosed with a strained calf muscle.

Although it is not particularly serious, it still needs to recuperate for a week.

At least there is no way to continue playing this game.

Ranieri hurriedly sent Konchesky on as a substitute, unable to leave a loophole in the defense.

But within 5 minutes, Leicester City was hit hard again.

In a counterattack, Van Persie was shoveled to the ground by the opposing defender Jimenez!
The referee finally played the card this time - it's just a yellow card!

All the Leicester City players on the field want to scold their mothers!
Even the good-tempered Ranieri on the sidelines protested again and again!
The fourth official tried to appease.

In fact, he also felt that there was something wrong with the whistle today, but as a member of the referee team, he had to defend himself.

Van Persie off, Ranieri simply put on Albrighton.

The formation of the team became 4-5-1.

The team has now lost two substitutions, and the second half will definitely not be easy.

In this case, you still have to consider taking the lead in stabilizing your defense.

But this substitution caused trouble for Leicester City.

Although one center Van Persie was missing, it did have a qualitative impact.

Even if Van Persie doesn't score many goals, his physical fitness and speed are not as good as before, but as long as he is placed in the opponent's penalty area, he is a great threat.

After all, he was one of the best forwards in the world two seasons ago. As long as he stands in the penalty area, it will put great psychological pressure on the defensive players.

Now that Van Persie is off the field, Vardy is unable to support himself and has lost his supporting point.

Atletico Madrid's offensive pressure is even greater.

In particular, the two full-backs have almost begun to play the role of wingers.

Until the stoppage time of the first half, Atletico Madrid finally waited for an excellent opportunity...
