Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 399 How much is one plus one?
"Kevin Braniff!"

"He is a midfield master!"

"He will become Carrick's best partner!"

"He will be the future of Manchester United, representing Manchester United's midfield strength for the next five years!"

"..."

The British media suddenly boiled over.

Ferguson rarely publicly praised players from other teams. The last time Ferguson made similar remarks was back when Rooney played for Everton.

When it came time to transfer in the summer, Manchester United frantically chased Rooney, and he did not hesitate to spend 2700 million pounds, making Rooney a world-renowned talent star. As soon as he transferred to Manchester United, it was known that he would become the future of Manchester United's striker.

Now it's Kevin Braniff's turn.

After Ferguson finished speaking, many media analyzed a possibility: Ferguson was engaged in a war of words, and Manchester United was about to face Millwall. Speaking of this at a critical time also represented a a special effect.

But one thing is certain, Ferguson must appreciate Braniff, otherwise why didn't he talk about Darren Bent?Darren Bent is much more famous than Braniff. As Millwall's leading striker, no one doubts that Darren Bent will definitely perform very well when he comes to Manchester United.

If it is just a war of words, it is definitely more suitable to choose Darren Bent.

Ferguson only talked about Braniff.

Based on Braniff's recent position and performance, Ferguson must have considered letting him come to Manchester United to replace the aging Scholes.

Scholes has turned 32 years old.

For players of this age, the state has already begun to decline. Scholes can guarantee his state for the time being, but no one knows how long his good state can last.

In some Manchester United games, Ferguson began to try to replace Scholes with other players, such as promoted youth players Fletcher and Richardson, both of whom continued to get playing opportunities, but the effect was not very good.

Scholes and Carrick are now partnered in Manchester United's midfield.

Carrick is Roy Keane's replacement. He plays a bit late. The core of the frontcourt is Scholes. Scholes' position is similar to Kaka and Ronaldinho. He is an offensive player. The organizer and leader of the team is the most central player in the team. It is easy to find a replacement in other positions, but it is too difficult for Scholes to find a replacement.

It must be very difficult for Manchester United to promote players trained by the youth training to replace Scholes. Whether it is Fletcher or Richardson, there is a big gap in strength, level and experience. The level of Coles; it is also very difficult to buy a core in the transfer market.

Zhang Yang was having a headache because of this.

Millwall also lacks core stars. If there is a player like Totti or Kaka, the strength of the team can be improved immediately.

The same goes for Manchester United.

Manchester United has a strong Scholes for the time being, what about after Scholes retires?

Ferguson must have started thinking about it.

Braniff is a good choice. Although he is still a little immature, considering that he has little experience in top leagues and European competitions, and is only 23 years old, the future is full of infinite possibilities, and he may become a Scottish player. Alternatives to Els.

In the British media reports, all of the above were analyzed, and they believed that Ferguson was spat on the one hand, and on the other hand, he must have a certain appreciation for Braniff.

Many media also lamented that Braniff was so lucky to be appreciated by Ferguson.

A word from Ferguson is worth a thousand dollars, enough to make Braniff more famous, and it will also make him receive more attention and double his worth.

----

In the afternoon, Millwall had a tactics class. The explanation was not about tactics, but how to play against Manchester United. If you want to beat Manchester United, you must make targeted arrangements. For example, in terms of defense, C-Ronaldo is a must. To limit, Rooney on the front line must also let strong players defend close to him.

Manchester United's offensive cooperation is also relatively strong. The coaching staff emphasized that they must always pay attention to the defensive formation and not give Manchester United any gaps.

The offensive layout is much easier.

As analyzed by the outside media, 'dual core' is a style of play that focuses on offense. The main purpose of the two cores is not to increase the coordination of the midfield, but to make the opponent difficult to defend.

The opponent can defend against one core, but it is difficult to target two cores on the periphery.

This is the key.

The 'dual-core' style of play focuses on offense. The season preparations have been up to now, and the team has also emphasized offense. There is no need to emphasize how to play against Manchester United's offense. Every player can play normally.

After the tactical class, the training in the afternoon is all over.

The players returned to the locker room one by one, packed up their things and prepared for the club. When Zhang Yang walked to the training ground, a staff member brought a tablet computer with a news page opened on it, all of which were reports of Ferguson's appreciation for Braniff.

Zhang Yang took a look and thought it was a little funny.

Aldous came over, clicked on a webpage and looked at it, frowned and said, "Should we respond?"

"Need not."

"Do nothing?" Aldous didn't know why.

Zhang Yang took the tablet and handed it to Aldous, "Show this to Kevin and let him know how much the great Sir Alex Ferguson appreciates him."

Aldous couldn't understand, but he still did as Zhang Yang said.

Braniff packed his things and was about to leave with his small bag.

Braniff is a very strange guy, not only because of his temperament, but also because of his living habits.

For example, other people use sports backpacks. Braniff uses a neutral casual small bag very specially. The small bag can’t hold two pieces of clothes, and it’s bulging every time. It’s a bit awkward to match it with sportswear. .

When Aldous saw Braniff's bag, he felt a little funny, but the whole team was almost used to it. He also showed Braniff the tablet as Zhang Yang said.

Braniff glanced at it, clicked on a few webpages and looked at it, with a puzzled expression on his face, "What's going on here?"

"As you can see."

Aldous shrugged, meaning you have seen it all, "Zhang Yang asked me to show you."

At the beginning, Braniff watched with interest, but later his expression became angry, and he returned the tablet to Aldous, then gritted his teeth, "Asshole! I'll go find those reporters!"

"what?"

Aldous watched Braniff leave without knowing why, and he felt that his mind couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

----

Braniff knew where to find reporters.

There are always a group of reporters in front of the club, usually some small and medium media, they can't cover news on weekdays, so they can only stay in front of the door and wait for the opportunity.

Braniff drove out of the club gate as usual, but the difference was that he stopped on the side of the road and walked towards the reporters.

"Anyone else who offered to be interviewed?" The group of reporters in front of the door was a little dazed. They noticed that it was Braniff, and they were immediately excited. Because of Ferguson's appreciation, Braniff is definitely the focus of today.

Braniff was immediately surrounded by reporters, his face was full of anger, and he shouted, "He actually said that I was Scholes' replacement? I know Scholes, and his performance is much worse than mine. , he should be my replacement, not the other way around!"

"You still say that I play better than Totti? Of course, do you need to say? I must be better than Totti."

"Also, I want to ask, who is Carrick? What qualifications does he have to be my partner?"

"Now I feel very angry because the old man Ferguson, the head coach of Manchester United, cursed me to retire early! It's unbelievable. I don't know him at all, but he cursed me! I think I should pay him back!" Braniff thought for a while , seemed to be thinking about his lines, and then said, "I'm sure he'll retire within a year, because Manchester United's performance is so bad, he's ashamed to continue coaching! I'm also sure he'll get all kinds of diseases because he's too old After retirement, I can only lie in bed, waiting to return to the embrace of God!"

"..."

Braniff roared angrily, and he was not stingy about cursing Ferguson, which made the surrounding reporters feel baffled, and it was difficult for them to understand Braniff's thinking.

Among them, there are still quick-witted ones who thought of a possibility. Ferguson said that Braniff represents "Manchester United's midfield force in the next five years." Braniff is only 23 years old. Only 29 years old, isn't 29 years old an early retirement?

Such an analysis makes sense.

Of course normal people don't think so, but is Braniff a normal person?This guy rarely accepts interviews on weekdays, but there are still some reporters who have interviewed him. They know that this guy’s brain circuit seems to be different from normal people, and they didn’t take it seriously before. It's not a small problem!
Many reporters were amazed.

How Braniff's brain circuit is has nothing to do with them. What Braniff said is more important. After getting such wonderful first-hand news, the reporters were immediately excited. The more Braniff said, They have more content to report.

Among them, there are still journalists who have a 'conscience', or they are the media that support Manchester United. One reporter retorted against one of Braniff's words, "Do you really not know, or do you not know? Carrick But the most outstanding midfielder in England in recent years, he is the absolute main force of Tottenham Hotspur, and will be the absolute main force of Manchester United, why can't he be your partner. Carrick's worth is much higher than yours!"

This sentence ignited the powder keg!
Braniff stared at the reporter angrily, and yelled: "I have never heard of Carrick's name at all, his worth is higher than mine? And I have never been transferred, how do you know my name?" Worth? If Manchester United wanted me to join, wouldn’t the transfer fee they offer be inferior to a guy whose name is unknown? This is an insult to me! What kind of vision does Old Man Ferguson have, how did he become the head coach!”

"The boss said, I am the most important player in Millwall! We are the defending champions, we are now ranked first in the league, the number one team in England, the most important player, not worth as much as a guy who doesn't know his name ?”

Braniff yelled and glared at the reporter while panting, as if he had been greatly insulted, then he gritted his teeth and said, "I finally know why Manchester United always lose to us! With this kind of head coach, you have to He is far worse than the boss! He is so old and has been the head coach for so many years, and he can’t even tell which player is better! I doubt whether he has geriatric syndrome. Then I want to ask the old man Ferguson a question. How much does adding one equal?"

Braniff also made an internationally accepted gesture of pointing fingers. After speaking, without waiting for the reporters to respond, he turned around and returned to the car, and left gracefully with the car's 'buzz'.

The minds of the reporters froze.
