Chapter 353 Indispensable!

In the dressing room of the visiting team at Camp Nou, frustration and disappointment were the main theme. In this Manchester United team, Evra, Vidic, Fletcher, O'Shea, Cristiano Ronaldo, Li Rui, Rooney, Ronaldo West, it is the first time that these players are so close to the Champions League final, and Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Li Rui, Manchester United's offensive trident, are only 21 years old. As for this game, they came off the bench Rossi is only 19 years old.It is normal for young people to be unable to accept this kind of failure for the first time.

Ferguson didn't lecture the players, and before going to the post-match press conference, the old Scot faced his disciples and said, "Tomorrow, when I'm in Manchester tomorrow, I hope to see everyone normal. .”

What Ferguson means is that today he will not ask how the team is doing, but when he returns to Manchester tomorrow, his Manchester United team will recover from this blow.Everyone must cheer up.

Originally, in professional football, winning or losing is a common thing. If because of a loss in a game, people scream and feel sorry for the world, thinking that the end of the world is coming, it can only show that this team is too naive.Ferguson has worked as the head coach of Manchester United for almost 20 years. He has tasted the feeling of failure many times. He has gritted his teeth and endured more serious setbacks. He also believes in his disciples. Tough guy, able to self-regulate and come out! !

***********
In the post-match press conference, the tried and tested Manchester United coach Ferguson was very calm in the face of being one step away from the defeat at the Stade de France, "as calm as the old Scottish old man's face"—— "News of the World" described it.

Ferguson congratulated Barcelona's promotion very gracefully, "Congratulations to Barcelona, ​​they have entered the final, the game against Barcelona is always very difficult, this is an uncomfortable team."

Speaking of Manchester United's defeat, Ferguson said, "Manchester United lost the game, which is of course very regrettable. We could have had the opportunity to drag the game into overtime. In that case, it may have been a different result. "

Ferguson was referring to Li Rui's shot at the last moment of the game. If that shot scored, Manchester United would have equalized the total score.

Hearing what Ferguson said, the Catalan media reporters became excited. Reporters are always unreasonable. Barcelona's promotion to the final made the Catalans inexplicably excited. Of course, they did not forget to continue tearing apart Manchester United. "Ferguson first, may I ask, do you mean to blame Li Rui again, and feel dissatisfied with him wasting opportunities?"

…………

Of course Ferguson would not be fooled, the old Scottish man stared into the reporter's eyes, "No, I am very satisfied with him, what reason does any head coach have to face a young man who scored 15 goals in the Champions League in a single season Dissatisfied?! Lee's performance in this game? Very good, I am more satisfied, he said he would score at the Nou Camp, and he did it - the boos of the stadium, you will not have heard it."

Hearing the Spanish reporters sow dissension, the old Scottish man who had been pleasant just now suddenly became sharp-tongued. In terms of protecting the calf, even those who hate Ferguson the most have to admit that the Manchester United coach has done a good job.

The reporter, who was a little annoyed by Ferguson's rhetorical question, snorted a few words, but did not continue to ask questions. At this time, the English reporters at the press conference were all smirking in their hearts. Manchester United was eliminated. Of course, the English I will be very disappointed in my heart. I just heard that the reporter tried to provoke the relationship between Ferguson and his favorite No. 10 player. The reporters in England knew that there was a good show. In England, the reporters did not do this kind of thing less. Didn't he get humiliated by Ferguson once? !
Facts have proved that Sir Alex Ferguson is simply a thousand-year-old fox!
…………

A reporter from England asked a question about the title of the Premier League champion, "With the morale of Manchester United, can the team win the championship as they wish in the last round of the league?"

This question is obviously not of interest to Spanish journalists. Some Spanish journalists are already preparing to leave. Ferguson glanced at the Spanish journalists leaving without blinking his eyelids, "We have paid a lot for (the final on May [-]) But football is like this—” He shrugged, then paused before continuing, “There are no ifs in football, and Manchester United is not a delicate child. It will not be over because of one loss in the league! Champion? We will win (the trophy) at Old Trafford on May [-]. Manchester United's goal this season is to win at least one championship. Now that the Champions League champion has flown, then we must win the league championship !"

"Charlton is not easy to deal with, they have not completely succeeded in relegation." A reporter reminded the Manchester United coach.

"It's harder to deal with than Chelsea? Chelsea is still fighting for the championship..." The old Scottish man's answer stabbed Mourinho again.

***********
On the bus back to the hotel for the Manchester United team, Giggs was encouraging the morale of his teammates: "Don't be downcast! If you lose, you lose. What's the matter? There's still next season, don't forget, we still have the league, In three days, we will lift the league championship trophy!"

Captain Gary Neville did not come to Barcelona with the team in Manchester. As the second captain of the team and the captain of the game, Ryan Giggs must do the job of captain.Although coach Ferguson did not say anything, but Giggs must do what he should do.

Li Rui's mood is not much better, the league final game will be three days later.The team will hope to win the league championship, but now, it is true that they have lost the possibility of competing for the Champions League championship. Of course, they will not be in a good mood.

At this time, he heard his mobile phone ringing, took out the mobile phone, saw the flashing light, it was a short message, Li Rui opened it, and saw that 'failure is the mother of success, happiness is more important than anything else. '

Playing with the mobile phone in his hand, Li Rui looked at the message. He didn't know this number, it was an unfamiliar number, but this number knew his very private mobile phone number.

Li Rui thought for a while, tilted his head, and replied a message, "Thank you, I'm fine." '

Then, Li Rui leaned on the seat and turned to look out the window. The night view of Barcelona is very beautiful. The European Renaissance architecture and modern high-rise buildings are beautifully matched, which makes people moved.

However, Li Rui is not in the mood to appreciate these things now, he feels a sense of fatigue and closes his eyes.

…………

After sending that short message, Tang Zhaoer was a little restless. She had already returned to the dormitory of the Barcelona Business School. The family had arranged for her to live outside the school. It was a very unique Catalan style dormitory. Small villa, but Tang Zhaoer insisted on living in the school.

Seeing the phone flashing, Tang Zhaoer turned on the phone and saw the message from Li Rui. It was a simple sentence, like plain water, but Tang Zhaoer stared at the phone screen for a long time... She had a falling out with her family in China, which directly caused Li Rui Tang Zhaoer accidentally found out about the rift between Rui and her. It was arranged by her mother. 'Meet' that person in Barcelona.

***********
After returning to the hotel, Li Rui stood by the window sill and looked at the flickering lights outside the huge hollow floor-to-ceiling windows. In the lights, red houses and white houses could be vaguely seen, and the spire of the church could be seen, which was very beautiful in the night.

When Li Rui came back from the shower, he heard his cell phone ringing. It was from Jessica. Jessica didn't watch the game, but she had been paying attention to the results of the game. Tell her that the game is over, Manchester United has been eliminated, and Jessica is also very worried about Li Rui, so he took some time to call.

Although Li Rui told her on the phone that she was fine, Jessica still heard Li Rui's frustration from Li Rui's voice. She encouraged Li Rui and persuaded her for a while before hanging up the phone. , Jessica also knows that now, only Li Rui can figure it out and get out of this feeling of failure.

After hanging up the phone, Li Rui saw that there were many unread text messages, some were from home, some were from coach Qiu Zuolin, and old coaches Xin Yang, Qiu Ranran, Wen Xiaohan, Gao Bo, Rodriguez , Hai Shen - everyone is encouraging him, comforting him, hoping that he can cheer up.

Seeing these text messages, Li Rui felt warm for no reason, and the pain of being eliminated seemed to feel better.

…………

Back in Manchester, the Manchester United team also learned the results of another Champions League semi-final. Arsenal finally eliminated Villarreal, the biggest dark horse in this season's Champions Cup, and entered this season's European Champions Cup. In the final, at the Stade de France on May [-]th, Arsenal will compete with Barcelona for the highest honor in Europe this season!
This also made the Manchester United players a little bit embarrassed. Arsenal hid most of the main players in the league last week. In the end, Arsenal lost 0:3 to Sunderland in the away game. This is also the biggest defeat for Arsenal this season. After the game, Arsenal completely lost the possibility of competing for the league title. Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger was bombarded by the media. However, now, only three days later, Arsenal eliminated Billy in the Champions League. Arreal reached the final of the Champions League for the first time after Arsene Wenger coached Arsenal, and the English media began to sing praises for Arsenal. As for Manchester United, which lost and was eliminated, it also suffered a lot The criticism, the media selectively forgot, a few days ago when Manchester United defeated the leader Chelsea 3:1, they said those words of praise.

***********
There is only the last round of the Premier League left, and the interest of the media has been mobilized.

In the closing game, Chelsea's away game against Newcastle, as well as Manchester United's home game against Charlton, were considered not easy games.

Newcastle's defeat is not weak. Although they performed poorly this season, in the eyes of the media, Newcastle is fully equipped to enter the Champions League. The 'Magpie' will bring Chelsea a lot of difficulties, but it is beneficial to Chelsea. Yes, Newcastle's ranking this season will hardly change. Newcastle has locked a place in the UEFA Cup. As for the Champions League, there is no hope for a long time. Therefore, facing the menacing Chelsea who are fighting for the championship , Newcastle's fighting spirit is questionable.

On the contrary, Manchester United's opponent, Charlton, is not considered a strong team. However, with one round left in the league, Charlton has not completely escaped the danger of relegation. Therefore, in this game, although Charlton It was an away game at Old Trafford, but Charlton was bound to fight desperately. Facts have proved that these relegation teams are really quite difficult. Once the team is relegated, the players have to go their own way Things have changed, so the players of the relegation team want the team to stay in the Premier League, to be precise, it is for their own "money", whether it is to transfer or stay in the team to negotiate a better contract, the relegation ball The players of the team will be quite desperate.

…………

"Facing Charlton in relegation, Manchester United is not easy! "

Before the game, many media were not too optimistic about the Manchester United players who played at home, and expressed their cautious support, which made the media have this view. On the one hand, Charlton is fighting for relegation, which is a difficult bone. What's more, Manchester United has just been eliminated by Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Champions League. The media unanimously believed that the Manchester United team, which suffered a huge blow, must have low morale. Ton, it's not easy.

Now, some Manchester United fans even have an illusion, that is, under the exaggeration of the media, Charlton, who is struggling in the relegation zone, seems to have suddenly become a strong team like Arsenal or Liverpool, and according to the media According to the argument, the Charlton people will have a great chance of blocking Manchester United at Old Trafford. It seems that Manchester United is like a paper tiger after losing to Barcelona and being eliminated from the Champions League. He was knocked down with a single punch, revealing his 'weak' true face.

***********
The rare good weather in Manchester. After training, Li Rui was surrounded by the media in the mixed interview area. At the last moment of the game against Barcelona, ​​Li Rui's "soft feet" were also criticized by the English media. They thought Manchester United's No. 10 To be responsible for Manchester United's exit.

At this time, Manchester United coach Ferguson stood firmly behind his disciples, "This is a perfect season. For Li, for this 21-year-old boy, no manager can ask for more Alright! His 15 goals in the Champions League puts the youngster at 21 on par with some of the great names who, you know, haven't broken that (14 goals in a single season in the Champions League) ) record, but he did it!"

Speaking of the league, Ferguson was full of praise for Li Rui's performance in the league, "We are now leading the standings? This is something to be happy about. Manchester United still has a championship to win this season. Li Rui's 29 in the league One goal, he is the guarantee of the team's victory, the league golden boot? That's not a problem!"

It can be said that at this time, the Scottish old man has done the best that a head coach can do. The godfather of Manchester United has absolutely nothing to say about protecting the calf.

***********
Surrounded by media reporters, Li Rui frowned. In the past two days, he felt extremely disgusted with the noise of the media. Li Rui tried his best to refuse all interviews. He also showed abnormal hard work in training. Adjust his state to the best and adjust to the league final game against Charlton at home on May [-]. He will help the team win the league championship this season and the first league championship in his career ! !

"Li, will you score in the match (against Charlton)? Will the loss in the Champions League affect you?" Seeing that Li Rui was blocked, the reporters asked questions one after another.

Li Rui saw that in the corridor not far away, the staff of the club had already rushed to help him out. To this question, he still chose to answer: "Yes, I can score goals! I am extremely eager for the league championship now! "

"Where's the League Golden Boot?" Seeing that Li Rui chose to answer the question, the reporter immediately got excited and asked.

"I am number one on the scorer list now, and there will be no change at the end of the season."

"Can you talk about the game against Barcelona?" a reporter asked yelling.

At this time, the staff of the club had already come to rescue the siege. The staff 'teared a hole' in the reporter's encirclement. Li Rui walked out. He didn't answer the reporter's last question, nor did he want to answer it.

Losing the Champions League has always been a pain in his heart, but he didn't show it.But the game has been lost, and it is meaningless to talk about it now. Instead of falling into endless regrets about losing the game, it is better to put all your energy in the final game of the league, helping the team to win, but winning champion--

Dilute the pain of the lost champion with the glory of a champion! !

Of course, Li Rui at this time did not understand that the failure of this season's Champions Cup was also a kind of experience and a kind of growth. When he really stood on the top of Europe, maybe all of this was a kind of precious wealth.These, the 21-year-old young man is still unable to understand.

Now, he only thinks about the league championship, and the league golden boot——

Both are indispensable!

***********
On May 2005, 2006, the 38th round of the English Premier League in the [-]-[-] season, Manchester United played against Charlton at home.

14:05 PM.

Manchester, there are dark clouds in the sky, the clouds are very low, and a heavy rain seems to be coming at any time. In order to ensure the fairness of the championship and relegation competition, the FA finally did not agree to the request of the postponement of the game between Manchester United and Charlton , on the grounds that '(heavy rain) that could render the game impossible to proceed did not occur'.

Before the players entered the field, the entire Old Trafford stadium was full of seats, and the entire stadium was full of the atmosphere of the championship. Manchester United fans sang loudly and held a model that symbolized the championship.

Although Manchester United lost to the Nou Camp, the Manchester United fans are also very sad, but the fans are still very satisfied with the team's performance this season. What's more, in this game, as long as Manchester United can win at home against Charles Dayton will win the league championship this season, which is also a festival for the fans.

…………

In the home dressing room at Old Trafford, recall the heavy breathing of the men.

"Guys, I think, I don't need anyone to tell you the importance of this game!" Ferguson also seemed a little excited. Although this is not the first time this old coach has faced the league championship, but facing the championship , and who can remain indifferent? Isn't the hard work of a season just for the moment of winning the cup?

The players of the Manchester United team yelled almost desperately, "No need! No need! Fuck no need!"

The players have been waiting for this game for a long time. After the defeat at the Camp Nou, there was a lot of criticism surrounding Manchester United. The media was criticizing. From the head coach to the players, they were all named and criticized by the media. Even the Manchester United team The league final match against Charlton, in the mouth of the media, has also become precarious, as if Manchester United lost the entire season in one game.

For these questions and criticisms from the media, the whole Manchester United team was silent. Apart from Li Rui, the coach of Manchester United, who was criticized for missing the last chance at the last moment of the game against Barcelona, ​​he supported his No. 10 in the face of the media. Other than the players, nothing was said.

Everyone knows that as long as they win the game against Charlton and win the 2005-2006 league championship trophy, all the criticism and doubts surrounding Manchester United will disappear, and the media will start singing praises for the team again. up.

What is lost on the football field, kicked back on the football field with both feet!

***********
PS: After reading the excitement in the book review area, let’s talk about it. I don’t think it’s so unacceptable to be eliminated by Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Champions League. This is only Li Rui’s first season with Manchester United, and Manchester United is not enough. Strong, as for Barcelona, ​​Barcelona at this time is definitely number one in Europe, Ronaldinho's most glorious years are this season.Losing to such a Barcelona, ​​I don't think there is anything unacceptable.

As for what the book review section said, what is the record of 15 goals in a single season in the Champions League? !

What I want to say is that in reality, Ronaldo did not do it!Shevchenko didn't do it!Raul didn't make it!Henry didn't make it!Fanny didn't make it!Neither did Basten!

In this book, Li Rui has achieved it. Does this achievement have great significance? Needless to say!It is not much inferior to the champion of the Champions Cup. The difference is that one is a collective honor and the other is an individual honor!

In addition, please support genuine reading!After reading it, the words in the book review area are all from the reel of the D post.
