Chapter 889 Team Committee
At the end of the game, Manchester United's players and fans were very happy. They celebrated the victory passionately at the door of their opponent's home.
Counting this one, Manchester United had two tough battles before the start of the Champions League knockout rounds. One was against Tottenham and the other was the Manchester derby. They successfully won Tottenham. Manchester United's pressure was much less. Even if they couldn't win the Manchester derby later , when the Champions League knockout rounds begin, they will at least maintain a 6-point advantage over the second place.
An advantage of more than 6 points is very critical. After the Champions League knockout rounds begin, Manchester United will fight on three fronts. The Champions League and FA Cup are knockout rounds. One mistake can lead to losing everything. The advantage of the league allows Manchester United to spend more energy on the Champions League. superior.
The strong dialogue won a big victory and continued to maintain a huge lead over the opponent. Ferguson was in a good mood and authorized Rooney, Ferdinand and other players to be interviewed by reporters.
Don't look at Gao Xiaodong who often gives interviews after games. That is Gao Xiaodong's first privilege. He can talk and deal with reporters. He rarely makes jokes during interviews. Rooney and Ferdinand are both free-spoken guys. They don't usually Without Ferguson's permission, they could not be interviewed casually.
In an interview, Rooney was full of praise for his teammate and friend Gao Xiaodong. He believed that Gao Xiaodong deserved to win the Golden Globe Award. Today's game proved everything. With two goals and one assist, Gao Xiaodong is The player who can determine the outcome of the game.
Rooney even compared Cristiano Ronaldo and Gao Xiaodong, who he had played with, and Rooney believed that Gao Xiaodong was even better than Cristiano Ronaldo because Gao Xiaodong had a greater influence on the game.
Rooney is also very satisfied with his performance. He hopes that he can continue this good form and help Manchester United taste the glory of the Triple Crown again.
Gary. After Neville retired, the topic was naturally inseparable from the Manchester United legend. Rooney expressed his regrets and blessings and hoped for Gary. Neville is happy in his new job.
Naturally, the topic cannot be separated from the vacant captain's throne.
Rooney doesn't know how to be subtle. He bluntly told reporters that he wanted to be the captain of Manchester United.
Rooney said that a wealthy team like Manchester United has high requirements for its captain. Being able to become the captain of Manchester United requires more than just advanced skills. He doesn’t know if he is worthy of the position of captain of Manchester United, but he hopes to become the captain of Manchester United because That means an honor.
However, Rooney is also kind. When a reporter asked him who at Manchester United is suitable to be captain, Rooney mentioned Gao Xiaodong's name. He believed that Gao Xiaodong met the requirements of Manchester United captain in every aspect except age.
Ferdinand also talked about the captain's issue during the interview. Ferdinand talked for a long time and almost annoyed the reporter. In short, Ferdinand's words can be summed up with the same meaning: other people at Manchester United are not willing to do it for their own reasons. He is suitable to be the captain, and he is the captain.
Compared with his two talented teammates, Gao Xiaodong's performance during the interview was actually very cautious.
Although Gao Xiaodong performed well in the game and could even be said to be the biggest contributor to Manchester United's victory, Gao Xiaodong was very humble and attributed the victory to the entire team, and even praised Ferguson's formation.
Gao Xiaodong also believed that his two goals and one assist were basic operations, not a response to other people's questions.
The reporter also asked Gao Xiaodong if he wanted to be the captain of Manchester United. Gao Xiaodong said that being the captain of Manchester United was the highest praise. However, he had just arrived and didn’t know if he was worthy of being the captain of Manchester United. However, Gao Xiaodong said that if he could become the captain of Manchester United, he would I will definitely do my best to learn from the senior captains and continue the glory of Manchester United.
At the press conference after the game, Tottenham head coach Redknapp was convinced of the defeat and believed that Manchester United is the strongest team in the Premier League. Although Tottenham are also very good now, they still cannot compare with Manchester United. He believes Manchester United will win the league this season.
Although the game was completely lost, Redknapp is very optimistic about Tottenham's future. He believes that if Tottenham can maintain such competitiveness for three years,
They hope to compete for the Premier League championship with giants like Manchester United and Chelsea.
Ferguson did not want to talk about the captaincy issue now, but reporters did not let him go. They were all asking him when the new Manchester United captain would be announced. Chinese reporters also asked Ferguson whether Gao Xiaodong hopes to become the captain of Manchester United.
Ferguson was very vague about when Manchester United's new captain would be announced. He only said that the new captain would be selected soon, but no matter how reporters pressed, he did not give a specific time.
Ferguson gave a serious answer to the Chinese reporter's question. Ferguson said that Gao Xiaodong hopes to become the new captain of Manchester United. Although he joined Manchester United for a short period of time, only half a year, Gao Xiaodong conquered Manchester United fans with his skills. If Gao Xiaodong has become the new captain of Manchester United, so this will definitely not surprise anyone.
Ferguson also said something very thought-provoking: "Since Gao Xiaodong can become the youngest Ballon d'Or winner, it wouldn't be big news if he becomes the youngest Manchester United captain."
Ferguson originally wanted to delay the selection of the captain for a while and then observe the candidates, but now it seems that the position of Manchester United captain is uncertain, and reporters and fans will not stop.
After returning to Manchester, Ferguson called the coaching staff and club executives together to discuss the candidate for the new captain.
Ferguson's first choice is Vidic, and he hopes Vidic will succeed Neville.
However, Ferguson's proposal was opposed by club manager David Gill, who believed that Vidic was not as suitable as Ferdinand.
David. Gill said that the captain is not necessarily the most skilled player in the team. There are quite a few qualities required to be a captain. From all aspects, Ferdinand is more suitable because he is a local player in England and is generally the third-largest football player. Most of the teams are captained by local players.
Assistant coach Ferland also supports Ferdinand, believing that Ferdinand has sufficient qualifications and his skills are not inferior to Vidic. More importantly, Ferdinand has an age advantage over Vidic, so that after Ferdinand retires in a few years, Rooney will take over.
Some of the assistant coaches supported Ferdinand, some supported Vidic, and some supported Rooney. They all argued together, but no one could convince the other.
Ferguson discussed with the assistant coach and the club's senior management for a long time, but everyone had their own opinions. Finally, the assistant coach Meulensteen proposed a plan to select more vice-captains and set up a team committee imitating the German team, which would be temporarily used by the team committee. The captain has the power to determine the captain based on the performance of these vice-captains after the end of this season.
This plan was unanimously approved by everyone. Ferguson was also worried about how to deal with Gao Xiaodong's request. Mullensdine's plan just solved his problem. Ferguson immediately decided to adopt Mullensdine's plan and set up a team committee. .
