Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 40 Ibrahimovic has recovered from his injury and is about to return

Old Trafford.

Manchester United fans once again gave warm applause before leaving the field unsatisfied and looking forward to the next game.

For fans, watching a football game has become an essential entertainment activity in their boring lives.

of course.

If you are beaten every time by your opponent, no matter how much passion you have, it will be exhausted.

The courtside at this time.

Koeman's expression was slightly dull, all his pre-match rhetoric had dissipated, and he even felt helpless and frustrated.

You won’t lose all the Big 6 in the Premier League, right?
  This summer, he spent 1.5 million pounds on signings and used a determined attitude to correct Sigurdsson's tactical position at Everton.

If the league results are a mess, I'm afraid they won't have to wait until Christmas and will have to pack up and get out early.

After Koeman shook hands with Mourinho, he looked numbly at the back that he once envied so much, and fell into deep self-doubt.

At this time, on the bench, Rooney handed his jersey to Chu Feng and gave him a few words of encouragement as a senior.

to be frank.

He was actually a little envious of Chu Feng, who wasn't very skilled.

Because he once had those things, but he envied the youth and vitality that he could no longer have after passing away.

Chu Feng took the jersey humbly.

The two of them talked while walking towards the players' tunnel until their backs gradually disappeared.

Half an hour later, the post-match press conference was held.

Faced with reporters' sharp questions, Everton coach Koeman's expression became increasingly gloomy. He began to answer after calming down the anger in his heart.

"In the first half, the opponent started to press from the back. We changed our formation in order to achieve the desired effect. We also had a chance to score, but unfortunately we could not seize it."

"And a small defensive error cost us a goal."

"I don't want to be harsh on the players because everyone makes mistakes sometimes."

"Actually, judging from the situation on the field, we didn't play very badly. This score doesn't mean anything."

"I hope everyone can have enough patience."

The reporters in the audience almost laughed when they heard this, thinking that Koeman is indeed an eloquent person. If you give him a few more minutes, he will probably be able to reverse the score.

And another press conference room.

Mourinho faced an even easier environment because the English media never fought against the odds and waited until Manchester United lost before questioning him.

"On the surface it looks like we won easily, but in fact it was not like that. The process of the game was much more difficult than the score."

"Currently we still have players injured, so this performance is far from enough in my opinion."

"Furthermore, the relatively loose environment of the league and the multi-level differences in players' personal abilities make it easy to create false impressions."

The Guardian reporter raised his hand and asked: "Mr. Mourinho, it is expected that Ibrahimovic will not return until 2018, so has he been excluded from your plan?"

"No, no, no, I can tell you responsibly that Zlatan recovered from his injury very quickly. He also participated in team training before."

"And we have re-signed the contract extension."

"If there are no accidents, he will appear in the starting lineup in October and use facts to fight back those who think that injuries have greatly reduced his strength."

After Mourinho finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave.

Another reporter quickly asked: "Why would Manchester United choose to renew the contract of an injured player?"

A smile appeared on Mourinho's face, and his voice was full of expectation.

"Because we believe he is still a strong person."

At this time, the Manchester United players have returned to the Carrington training base and are discussing an important matter.

Welcome back Ibrahimovic. In the Europa League match between Manchester United and Anderlecht in April this year, Ibrahimovic sprained his right knee when he jumped to the ground and almost deformed inward.

After the game, he was diagnosed with a severely torn cruciate ligament in his knee. Not only did he bid farewell to the 2016/17 season early, he was also paralyzed in bed for a long time.

So most people think he will choose to retire.

But after scientific rest and physical therapy, his recovery speed miraculously became faster and faster, which seemed to have violated the conventional laws.

He even participated in the Manchester United team assessment some time ago and even took Chu Feng to practice taekwondo.

Now he is very close to recovery and is just waiting for the last course of treatment to be completed today.

The Manchester United players took out the gifts they had prepared and packed them up before driving to Manchester Royal Hospital.

Martial took a deep look at his teammates who had left, and couldn't help but feel mixed emotions in his heart. A sour feeling came to his nose, and he stayed there for a long time before silently turning around and leaving.

Shortly after.

Everyone arrived outside the ward and eavesdropped on Ibrahimovic being interviewed by the media.

"Am I worried about returning? No, lions are not going to recover like humans."

"And I'm going to come back better and stronger, that's my goal."

“Because when I set my mind to something, nothing can shake my mind.”

Ibrahimovic ignored the noise outside the ward, held out a finger in front of his face, and continued to speak domineeringly: "For example, I said I would dominate Sweden, and I have done it at breakfast. I will dominate Europe at lunch, and I will dominate Europe at dinner. It’s the world.”

"It's going to happen, there's no other way."

"As for the game? I'm playing with my head and my knees just have to follow."

Chu Feng outside the door smacked his lips after hearing this, thinking that Da Fengxian's character really hadn't changed at all, and he couldn't tell whether he was joking or serious.

But perhaps it is with this spirit that he can return to Milan from the MLS in the future and win the league championship.

After the reporter left, people swarmed in and the ward suddenly became chaotic.

Ibrahimovic hugged each team member to express his gratitude.

When it was Lukaku's turn, he seemed a little embarrassed, and a faint blush could be seen on his dark face.

"Actually, when I joined the team last year, I wanted to wear the No. 10 jersey."

"But it turned out that its owner was Wayne Rooney, a legend and a man worthy of respect. But now he has transferred, so you don't have to think otherwise."

Ibrahimovic patted the other party's shoulder hard and said nonchalantly.

Then he walked up to Chu Feng and gave him a warm hug, "I've watched all the recent games. You guy did a really good job. My hard work was not in vain."

"Zlatan, you have to hurry up and recover. I've already scored two goals."

Chu Feng made a joke.

"Tch, just wait, I can surpass you in one game."

Ibrahimovic curled his lips, pretending to be disdainful.

In fact, he was secretly frightened by Chu Feng's growth rate. He thought it would take at least half a season for Chu Feng to enter the starting lineup, but who would have thought that it would only be more than a month later.

However, this also aroused his strong desire to win. He must not lose to his juniors, otherwise his pretense would be unconvincing.

In the midst of laughter and laughter, everyone left together.

The hospital staff couldn't help but sigh after seeing it.

"The atmosphere in the Manchester United team looks good."
