Chapter 551, Calderon
After losing to Chelsea, Manchester United's dream of defending the league title was completely shattered.
On the second day, the major media rushed to report on Manchester United's defeat, and they were very pessimistic about Manchester United's future prospects.
"Daily Telegraph" reporter Karo Yinke described the prosperity of Manchester United last season as just a flash in the pan, and this season's Manchester United really entered the trough of the post-Ferguson era.
Leslie, a reporter from The Times, criticized Kintag's reckless and impulsive behavior. He believed that Manchester United's good situation of defending the title was smashed by Kintag.
The "Sun" reporter Wolff vowed that Manchester United's boss Avram? Glazer is ready to fire Kintag's squid, and Manchester United will definitely usher in an experienced new coach next season.
These rumors were so accurate that they even made the Manchester United players a little uneasy. Several players who had a good relationship with Kintag privately asked Kintiger if he would leave Manchester United.
Not to mention the players, even Scholes and Phelan were a little uneasy. They also asked Kim Taige carefully, did the club's top management put any pressure on him?
It's okay to lose a game, but it's troublesome if the whole team is panicked.
Kintag immediately comforted the players and coaches, letting everyone relax, and he will continue to lead Manchester United forward.
Although Jin Taige said so, he was also a little uneasy.
On the third day after the game, Woodward called Kintag to his office and had a long talk with him.
"Tiger, there have been a lot of messy rumors in the newspapers recently. I hope you don't mind. The boss called me specifically and asked me to chat with you. He still trusts you very much, and your position is still stable."
Hearing Woodward's words, Jin Taige nodded: "Thank the boss for me. I understand that the boss must feel uncomfortable after losing the league championship. I will definitely try my best to attack the next Champions League and FA Cup. The goal this season is still the treble!"
Woodward nodded with satisfaction: "It's a pleasure to see you rejuvenated."
When he left Woodward's office, although Kintag was no longer under the pressure of being a coach, he still had no idea about the upcoming second round of the Champions League quarter-finals. In the last home game, they failed to win Atletico Madrid. The score of 0-0 between the two sides was very unfavorable to Manchester United. In the upcoming game in Calderon, Kintiger has no 100% confidence in whether Manchester United can overcome the hurdle of Atletico Madrid. grasp.
Jin Taige led the team to Madrid one day in advance to prepare for the next day's game.
When he arrived at Madrid International Airport, Kintag found many Manchester United fans who came to pick him up. Their red autumn clothes were particularly conspicuous. Phelan beside him was very happy: "Our Manchester United is the football club with the largest number of fans in the world. No matter which city we go to, there are cheers."
In order not to neglect the hearts of the fans, Jin Taige specially asked the players to stay for five minutes, signed autographs and took photos with the fans to meet the requirements of the fans.
Jin Taige looked at the end of the fan line, and he accidentally found several fans in white clothes. They did not come close to sign a group photo, but pulled a banner from a distance, with a sentence written in English.
"Come on! Kill Atletico Madrid!"
Scholes has sharp eyes: "They are wearing Real Madrid autumn clothes, should they be Real Madrid fans?"
Jin Taige nodded: "That's right. The reason why they cheer for them is that they hope that we can kill their rivals in the same city."
Looking at the Real Madrid uniforms on those fans, Jin Taige felt a little awkward, and he remembered the scene of being eliminated by Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the Champions League last year.
You Real Madrid fans, don't worry, after I eliminate Atletico Madrid tomorrow, you will be the ones who will take revenge next!
The Calderon Stadium, which can accommodate more than 54,000 people, was already full of fans wearing home jerseys today. They cheered loudly for their favorite team around the stadium. Although the game has not yet started,
But the atmosphere is already warm enough. This is the first time Kintag came here, and he couldn't help sighing for this team for a while.
What a passionate stadium, a passionate team!
At this time, Atletico Madrid coach Simeone came to Jin Taige and shook hands with him friendly: "Tiger, I finally waited for you. I can't wait for this game."
Jin Taige smiled slightly: "Me too."
"Today's game must be very exciting, see you on the field later!"
"it is good!"
Simeone turned and returned to the coach's bench of the home team, and Jin Taige also came to the coach's bench of the visiting team.
Looking at the seats in the coaching bench, Kim Taeg said with emotion: "It feels good to be able to command the team."
Scholes also nodded: "Well, that's right, it's great to have you by my side. You don't have to rush around with Ferran."
At this time, players from both sides were warming up on the field. Scholes and Phelan also came to the sidelines to warm up with the players and make final preparations.
The players were warming up on the court, and Kintag took the time to look around the court again, looking at Calderon. He knew that this stadium was approaching its twilight years and that retirement was not far away.
In February 2015, Wanda Group from Huaguo acquired a 20% stake in Atletico Madrid and became the second shareholder of La Liga. According to Kintag’s memories of later generations, at the end of 2015, Atletico Madrid Chairman Cerezo officially announced at the unveiling ceremony of the new stadium that the team had reached an agreement with Wanda Group on the naming of the new stadium, and the new stadium will be named "Wanda Metropolitan Stadium" will be used as Atletico Madrid's home stadium next season.
Therefore, the Calderon Stadium will retire after the end of the 2016-2017 season and officially bid farewell to the stage of history. In other words, two years later, this stadium will carry the glorious history of Atletico Madrid, and it will be dusty for a period of time. Maybe this time I played against Atletico Madrid, it was Manchester United's last game in Calderon.
Although Kintag has nothing to do with Atletico Madrid, nor does he have any friendship with Simeone, but he still respects this team that breaks the monopoly of the two heroes in La Liga and has a tenacious style of play. To be able to play against Atletico here, Kintag Also feel excited.
In this game, Kintag sent all the main players. Although they just had a tough battle with Chelsea three days ago, today's game is even more important than the one three days ago, so Kintag must fight Get the best cards and fight the game!
There is no hope for the league championship, and the League Cup and the FA Cup are still not enough. For the current Kintag, this Champions League trophy is of great significance and is bound to be won!
