Chapter 893, Goodbye Legend

Hearing Carrick's plan to retire, Kintag felt empty in his heart for a moment: "Michael, you are my captain, the leader of Manchester United, you are gone, who will accompany me to lead Manchester United to move forward? "

Carrick smiled: "Boss, I have gradually marginalized myself in the past few years. I feel that I have changed from the core of the court to the mascot of the locker room. My contribution to the team is increasing. Small."

"Valencia is also old, and he should retire in a few years. The future of Manchester United will be dominated by players like Van Dijk and Griezmann. Van Dijk did a good job last season. In him, I saw the shadow of Vidic, maybe he is better than Vidic at the same time! The captain's armband is hanging on his arm, I feel relieved."

Jin Taige smiled wryly: "What you said, why does it sound like you are dying..."

Carrick also smiled, and his smile was full of satisfaction: "I am a lucky person. I caught up with the Jazz period and experienced the glory of Manchester United in the previous period; I was also fortunate to work with the boss and experienced the seven championships and the Champions League. Defending. I don't have any regrets in my career, I'm content."

Jin Taige sighed, feeling extremely reluctant: "Michael, no matter what you say, I still don't want you to leave. But since you have made a decision, I will respect your opinion. What do you think after retiring?"

Carrick looked at Kim Tag, and asked tentatively, "Boss, um, is Manchester United short of a coach?"

Hearing this, Jin Taige's haze just now was swept away: "Hahaha, I don't lack a coach, but I lack you!"

"It will be a real honor if I get to learn next season next to the boss."

"It's an honor to have you join Manchester United's coaching staff next season!"

About to bid farewell to Carrick, Jin Taige was filled with emotion.

After returning to Manchester, Carrick held a press conference and officially announced his imminent retirement. The reception was very simple, and Carrick didn't make a long speech. He just announced his decision in a simple and peaceful manner, and then thanked everyone.

This news did not cause much fluctuation in the industry. Carrick's low-key personality is like this. His nickname is "The Invisible Man on the Stadium". This nickname is actually somewhat derogatory, but Carrick is such a person. Fire, neither arrogance nor impetuosity, neither fighting nor grabbing, and do what you should do in a low-key manner.

And when he officially left the green field a year later, Manchester United's official website posted a sentence.

"The legend ends!"

He's a legend, he's a master.

Every summer is the farewell season for international football. A large number of players retired, which made the international football world feel deeply.

The summer of 2017 seems to be a little more special. Many of the stars who retired this year were former heavyweights on the green field. Many fans grew up watching them play football. The retirement of these green veterans made many people sad.

The chasing boy Kaka retired.

That youthful and handsome face bid farewell to the green field forever. Those gorgeous kicks that open and close will never be reproduced, and the pure and perfect smiling faces will never be seen again. The most powerful player in international football, who once let Messi and Ronaldo chase after him, was no match for injuries and the invasion of years, and left his beloved football forever.

Midfielder Pirlo has retired.

He was still sleepy, passed the last precise pass, scored the last fairy-level free kick, and then bid farewell to the court in style. He is one of the greatest organizational midfielders in human history. Elegance and style are his labels. He is a great artist and a genius who plays football with his brain.

Roma No. 10 Totti retired.

Every city has its own symbol. For those who love football deeply, Totti is the symbol of Rome. He entered the Roma first team in 1992 and bid farewell in 2017. 25 years seem to be a long time, but it is fleeting. The 41-year-old old prince, 785 games,

307 goals. He doesn't have many honors and trophies, but he writes his own legend with the word "loyalty". There is no more wolf king in Rome. The spiritual leader of the city left the green field and turned into the spiritual totem of Rome.

Munich giant Lahm has retired.

He is the best left-back and right-back in the world, the unexpected little man can always burst out the maximum energy. He has won everything for the German national team and Bayern club, and has never been red in 700 games. He is a legend in Germany and a glory in international football.

Spanish midfielder Alonso has retired.

Alonso conquered England and Real Madrid. He was called "the best passer in the world" by many coaches who coached him. He experienced the miracle of Istanbul in Liverpool and the Champions League coronation in Real Madrid. Finally able to retire at Real Madrid and leave the green field, Alonso can be regarded as a complete success.

These players are more than just football. They represent the youth of the fans and the past that will never go back. When people miss retired stars, they also miss their youth.

In addition to these people, there are two other players who have announced their decision to retire before the summer and before the end of the European season. They are the former England midfield double stars-Lampard and Gerrard.

Gerrard is the legend and spiritual leader of Liverpool. When he retired, Kintag once said to reporters: "Gerrard is one of Manchester United's greatest opponents!"

Gerrard in the Liverpool period was a thorn in Kintag's side; but now that Gerrard is retired, Kintag can finally let go of the grievances between the two teams and publicly express his respect for him.

As for the passage of Lampard, Kintag is more regretful. He regretted that he could not keep Lampard for one more year, and regretted that Lampard did not get more what he wanted.

But for Lampard, he is content. When facing the reporter, he calmly expressed his feelings: "I got almost everything I wanted, and I am very satisfied with my career. Thank you to all the coaches who have coached me, and thank you for your training."

"Thanks to Mourinho, the Chelsea team that was with you the first time is my favorite Chelsea."

"Thanks to Coach Kim Tag, I never thought that at the end of my career, I would be able to win another Champions League and a Triple Crown."

In the midst of parting feelings, Kintag suddenly received an unexpected phone call. He didn't expect it to be from Palmer, the chairman of the Football Association.

"Mr. Chairman, hello. May I ask you..."

Before Kim Tag's polite words were finished, Palmer on the other end of the phone went straight to the point: "Tiger, are you interested in coaching the England national team?"
