Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 464

At the end of November, the British Isles have already entered winter unknowingly.

It is said that England has a typical temperate maritime climate, with warm winters and cool summers, while winters in England are harsh and unbearable. These are two completely different concepts, but they are both true.

Compared with regions with higher latitudes, England is located in the temperate zone. Due to the influence of the Atlantic Ocean current, the temperature will not be very low throughout the winter. Generally, the temperature in the plains is around 0°C. Such a winter is not considered a severe winter. It can be called "livable", but the winter in most parts of England is indeed very cold, it is a kind of cold to the bone.

Humid and cold, this word is very suitable to describe the winter in England. Due to the high air humidity, the temperature that people feel is far below 0 ℃.

Along the east coast of England, there are two cities with completely different climates, one in the north and one in the south, namely Newcastle and London.

Newcastle in the northeast of England is a blessed place, where a unique dry triangular area is formed due to the special terrain. The winter there is the most comfortable in the whole of England. It is really dry and warm, but London in the southeast is completely different. On the contrary, here is the flat Thames River Plain, and the cold sea wind rushes straight along the Thames River into the Great Plains, forming a cold and wet winter environment unique to England.

The Port of London in the East End of London is also the most terrifying place in England in winter. The howling sea wind, freezing rain, and coldness are the iconic labels of this area.

West Ham's Upton Park Stadium is located in the East End of London, near the Port of London.

Snowing.

The snow in the southeastern part of England is inconspicuous. It is something between rain and snow. The particles are very small. You have to observe carefully to tell whether it is rain or snow floating in the air. Small snowflakes will melt quickly when they fall on the ground, but because the temperature has not reached above zero degrees Celsius, these melted snow will not continue to turn into liquid and seep into the ground, but maintain a semi-liquid and semi-solid form, staying on the ground On top, after the layers are piled up, it becomes a layer of slippery, ice!
Inside the warm Manchester United coach, captain Roy Keane snapped his playing cards onto the seat.

"I'm not playing anymore, I'm not interested! Brothers, today everyone wear as large shin guards and gloves as possible! Don't feel ashamed, the first snow fight, don't be careless!"

Roy Keane's seemingly casual sentence made many people's faces stiffen unconsciously.

Because the game time is in the evening, the team still chooses to start in the morning today, and then rest after arriving at Upton Park. The advantage of this is that it can avoid the harassment of West Ham fans to the greatest extent. My lord has personally spoken, most of the West Ham fans should restrain themselves, but who can guarantee that there will not be a few die-hard West Ham fans taking the opportunity to make trouble?
After years of vigorous rectification, the football hooligans in English football have quickly disappeared, but the disappearance of large-scale football hooligans does not mean that football hooligans will disappear completely. Every season, because of violent attacks on opposing fans and harassment of the stadium There are always hundreds of people in England, and even thousands of people in England. These people are not as crazy as the football hooligans in the 70s and [-]s in the world, but They are football hooligans.

It was cloudy when the bus departed from Manchester, but after arriving in the Thames River Valley, there was light rain in the sky, and when it approached London, it turned into light snow again.

Snow fights in England, especially in the South East, are not to be enjoyed by any player!

If it is raining, at least it means that the temperature is still above zero, and people’s psychological feelings are different. Football players are generally stronger than ordinary people. I haven't seen a few players who are really unable to play because they are too cold to play football, but Xiaoxue, who has just reached 0 ℃, can make people feel sick.

England's stadium facilities are complete, including ground heating and drainage, and snowflakes falling on the lawn will not condense into ice like in the wild.

However, the snow that falls on the player's head, face, and body cannot be heated. These small snowflakes will still turn into a semi-solid and semi-liquid state, and then absorb enough heat from your body to turn into liquid , and will still be wet and sticky to your body, constantly absorbing your heat, just like a little devil, continuing to torture you!
If given a choice, no one would want to go to Upton Park to play football in such weather. Even the colder areas in the western mountains, or the northern European areas with higher latitudes are infinitely better than here. !

"This is Upton! This is the territory of the Iron Army!"

"Shiver! Welcome to Upton Park!"

"Clown! Hurry up and hide! Your soul will be destroyed here!"

Manchester United came early, but hundreds of heavily armed West Ham fans had gathered outside Upton Park. Flying in the sky, although these slogans are not as explicit as before, they still have a hint of threat.

The FA cannot directly sanction the fans. At best, it only orders the stadium to prohibit certain dangerous elements from entering the stadium. This is the main reason why football hooligans cannot be cured.

When the team's bus drove up the dedicated channel of Upton Park and waited to enter the stadium, Ronando leaned on his chair and looked coldly at the pretending fans outside the window.

It's no big deal!No matter how fierce the fans of a team are, they will never be able to play football. There will always be 22 players on the field. This is a world of fair competition. 11 players against 11 players, as long as they beat the team consisting of 11 players The team and everything else are just illusions, and the fans can only passively accept the result of the game.

At this moment, Gary Neville came over and sat beside Ronando, putting his hand on his shoulder.

"Cristiano, don't worry! Those guys at West Ham don't dare make trouble, we are Manchester United! If they target you, we will do what we did to the bad guys at Blackburn last time! Remember! We are Manchester United ! We are a whole!" Gary Neville said firmly.

"Oh! ... Yes, Captain thank you. I'm not a soft-legged shrimp, those guys can't scare me!"

Of course Ronaldo knew what Gary Neville was talking about. It was September when Manchester United met Blackburn, another super difficult team in the league. Not long after he was suspended for boxing, and he couldn't score in several consecutive games, he was in a difficult period. At that time, Blackburn player Aaron Mokoina insulted Ronando. As a result, Roy Keane took the lead and fought with Blackburn Robbie Savage, the "King of Killers" and Tugay Kerimoglu, the "Turkish Butcher", confronted each other, almost causing a gang fight.

Now, Roy Keane has withdrawn from the starting lineup, at most he is sitting on the bench just in case, so if there is another conflict, Manchester United will not have Roy Keane as the leader.

After Roy Keane didn't play, Manchester United's captain was usually Gary Neville or Rio Ferdinand, so Gary Neville took the initiative to come over to him after seeing that Ronando was silent. Cheer up, take courage, and fulfill your obligations as the team's new leader.

In fact, Ronando does not need Gary Neville to embolden him. The current Ronando is no longer what he was in September!
Against Chelsea in November, Ronaldo has transformed from a protected man to a "little leader" who can protect his teammates and challenge Lampard by standing in front of Darren Fletcher Now, what reason is there to worry that he is not strong enough?It's just because of his young age, Gary Neville and other veterans still habitually treat him as a little brother.

There is another reason that has to be mentioned, the current Ronando is no longer the little-known Portuguese Super League star two months ago, but an upright European "big star"!

Just a few hours ago, the Sunday edition of the Italian "Turin Sports" announced the list of the top three candidates for this year's European Golden Boy Award. Ronando was among them, and the other two candidates were Barcelona's Leo May West, and Arsenal's Francisco Fabregas, the top two of this three-man list are not expected, but Fabregas finally squeezed out Rooney, but it was a bit unexpected, because, according to some media in advance According to the information disclosed, although the "Turin Sports News" notified the new rule that the Golden Boy Award cannot be re-elected, many media still voted for Rooney.

However, in any case, Ronando was selected as the top three of the Golden Boy Awards, which marks that he has gone out of England and into Europe. Since then, he has also been a famous European star.

At this moment, an anxious and angry voice came from the front of the bus. It was the club staff and assistant coach Jimmy Ramsden who were in charge of contacting Upton Park.

"Sir Ferguson, the stadium staff told me that the stadium lawn needs to be maintained because of the snow, and we can only enter the stadium within an hour before the game!"

"A bunch of bastards!" Jimmy Ramsden also yelled, angrily: "They did it on purpose! They even denied receiving a fax from us requesting to rent the stadium facilities! Not only did they not let us enter the stadium, even the locker room We are not allowed to use the gym and the gym! The attitude of these bastards is very rigid, just insist on an hour before the start of the game! Does the stadium need maintenance because of the snow, and the locker room also needs maintenance?"

Hearing Jimmy Ramsden's report, Ferguson gritted his teeth angrily: "Is this the only thing West Ham can do? I must tell everyone about their scandal!"

Queiroz smiled wryly at the side and said, "Sir, calm down... Upton Stadium is determined to make trouble, let's find a place to rest temporarily. After the game is over, we will clean them up!"

The Manchester United club has played in the Premier League for so many years, and the staff are very clear about the process. They will definitely contact the Upton Park Autumn Stadium in advance, and when and which facilities in the stadium need to be rented. But now, the Upton Stadium side is obviously playing a rogue , they refused to admit that they had received the fax from Manchester United, and they used the excuse that it was a coincidence that it was snowing today, and the stadium was not prepared in advance. This kind of thing is not clear in a short time, although it is personally known to be West Ham. Mischief, but this loss is settled.

Do you want to use the stadium to rest and recover your fitness?Don't think about it!Go out and find somewhere else by yourself!
"Bastards! Shameless guys!...Jamie! Contact the nearby indoor gym and make sure it's warm! Enough space! Undisturbed! At least let my boys stretch their arms and legs! The sooner the better! "

Before the game between Manchester United and West Ham started, the news spread quickly from the East End of London.

Old Ferguson's Manchester United team suffered a terrible loss. The team rushed all the way from Manchester to East London on a snowy and cold day, but was turned away by the staff at Upton Park Stadium and was forced to find a place to rest temporarily. , such a toss, the physical fitness and mood of the players will be greatly affected. This is not cheating you secretly, but cheating you Manchester United openly!
It is not the first time for West Ham to play in the Premier League, and it is not the first time for Upton Park to host a league in winter. If they cannot use the stadium normally due to this light snow, they should have closed long ago.

However, to lie to you is to lie to you. Even if Ferguson insisted on complaining to the FA after the game, the FA sent someone to investigate.

West Ham is really going to fight Manchester United to the death!

Strictly speaking, West Ham is not Manchester United's mortal enemy. Of course, West Ham's biggest enemy is in London. The first to bear the brunt are Arsenal and Tottenham, and then Chelsea, which is rising in West London. Hamm is a relatively friendly team. Apart from the conflict between the north and the south of English football, they have not had much trouble. But this time, because of West Ham's Mr. Tony Carr, the two teams have a conflict Fire and water are incompatible.

Because of the sudden stadium maintenance incident, the battle between Manchester United and West Ham is even more interesting.

West Ham has always been tough, the more they meet a strong team, the crazier they become, and the old Ferguson must be even more upset after being devastated. What will he do?At Upton Park, the 6-0 massacre three years ago was staged again, and a bloody lesson was given to the ignorant West Ham on the spot?
If Manchester United give West Ham a go, this game will be exciting!

One is the famous Red Devils known for their crazy attacks, and the other is the fiercest Hammers. Coupled with the bad weather, will the game turn into a lose-lose?Manchester United beat West Ham, but they were tossed into a broken army. They might not be able to make up a complete starting lineup in the next round of the league.

As for Manchester United's right-wing wizard No. 22 Ronando, it would be best to be reimbursed by the way. Manchester United has enough left wing, so why should they have a strong right wing?

Both Manchester United and West Ham will lose, and that is in the best interests of other clubs. If that is the case, many people will laugh behind closed doors.

Goalkeeper: No. 19 Edwin van der Sar

Forwards: No. 9 Luis Saha, No. 8 Wayne Rooney
Midfielders: No. 11 Ryan Giggs, No. 18 Paul Scholes, No. 24 Darren Fletcher, No. 22 Cristiano Ronaldo

Defenders: No. 4 Gabriel Heinze, No. 27 Miguel Silvestre, No. 26 John O'Shea, No. 2 Gary Neville

Today's Manchester United team has the same starting configuration in the midfield as in the previous UEFA Champions League game. In fact, this is also very understandable. Since Ruud Ruud and Alan Smith were injured at the same time, Ferguson only has so many troops at his disposal. , Norwegian striker Solskjaer is old and soon after he returned from injury, he was sent out to fight this tough battle, and no one would rest assured that he would last for 90 minutes.

Fortunately, Manchester United happened to encounter a rare loose period in the schedule. In the middle of the week after this game, although there was still a game scheduled, it was a League Cup round of 16 knockout match.

League Cup?It is estimated that at this time, no one can care about the second-tier cup competition like the League Cup. They can play as long as they can, and it doesn’t matter if they can’t. Among the top four teams in the Premier League this year, Liverpool and Chelsea are both in the League Cup. The strong knockout rounds were given up early, and now only Arsenal and Manchester United are still insisting. The reason why Arsenal did not give up is probably because they have fallen sharply in the league. They want to try their luck in the League Cup. It is not bad for a strong team to win a cup trophy in the end.

Manchester United's attitude towards the League Cup is similar to that of Arsenal, training and trying their luck, both.

Manchester United's opponent in the round of 16 in the League Cup is West Bromwich Albion. Although it is also a Premier League team, it only succeeded in relegation in 17th place last season. It is also temporarily ranked 16th this season, and its strength is average. , Moreover, Manchester United was very lucky to win the home game. It may not be said that Ferguson will send an authentic youth army to test the waters.

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Roy Carroll

Forwards: No. 10 Marlon Haywood, No. 8 Teddy Sheringham (captain)
Midfielders: No. 12 Maddie Etherington, No. 17 Hayden Mullins, No. 7 Christian Daly, No. 15 Josie Benayoun

Defenders: No. 3 Paul Konchesky, No. 5 Anton Ferdinand, No. 4 Gabbiton, No. 2 Thomas Repka

The "Hammer Gang" West Ham has become incompatible with Manchester United?Maybe, but certainly not all the players on the team, not even their team captain!

Teddy Sheringham!A very loud name!
One of Sheringham's classic moments: In the 1996 European Cup, England's first-choice striker Alan Shearer + Sheringham was considered to be the strongest striker combination in that European Cup.

Sheringham's classic moment 1999: In the 3 Champions League final, Manchester United played against Bayern Munich. Manchester United staged a magical [-]-minute reversal when they were one goal behind. First, striker Sheringham scored an equalizer, and then super substitute Solskjaer The score was overtaken, and Manchester United thus achieved the great cause of the Triple Crown.

Teddy Sheringham, the captain of West Ham, played for Manchester United from 1997 to 2001. In the summer of 2001, the 35-year-old Sheringham moved to Tottenham as a free agent, ending his four-year career with the Red Devils. During this period, he won 3 He won 1 league title, 1 FA Cup, 1 Charity Shield, [-] Champions League, and [-] Club World Cup. He was named "Mr. Footballer of England" in his last season with Manchester United.
