Chapter 1047 The Secret of the Brand

Nordic, Norway.

Molde.

The gray-haired Solskjaer stood on the sidelines of the training ground, shouting loudly from time to time. He coached Cardiff City last season and was relegated in the final round. Then he returned to Norway to coach Molde Club again.

Solskjaer has been in a bad mood for more than half a year. On the one hand, it was affected by last season, and on the other hand, Molde's performance this season is quite poor.

Norway is located in Northern Europe with cold weather. Every season starts in March and ends before December. Molde has 9 games this season, 3 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses.

However, Solskjaer is in a good mood today because Manchester United has won the Triple Crown and is likely to win the Triple Crown for the second time in history. This has brought back the best memory of his career.

Solskjaer personally came off the field and sent a precise cross. The short forward used a wonderful volley from the back point to leave the goalkeeper helpless.

"Well done!" Solskjaer gave a thumbs up, "Wu, keep it up, you can return to Manchester United!"

Wu Lei happily ran over and hugged the coach. Molde was in poor condition this season, but the Chinese forward was considered the only bright spot of the team. He had 5 goals and 2 assists in 9 games. This is quite a bright spot. Eye data.

After the training, Solskjaer patted Wu Lei, who was looking down at his phone, "Wu, have you received the invitation?"

"What?"

"The Champions League final."

"Best called me." Wu Lei hesitated before saying, "It was during the halftime break of the 10-1 victory over Liverpool."

The corner of Solskjaer's mouth twitched, "I checked the schedule. That round of the league is on May 28. Let's go together."

"No problem, I hope to set off in a good mood."

"Haha, that's up to you." Solskjaer glanced at Wu Lei's phone and suddenly his eyes widened, "What is this?"

"Mike Phelan, Manchester United assistant manager."

"I mean what is that in his hand..."

"cardboard."

"I mean it's written on the cardboard..." Solskjaer wordlessly grabbed the phone and looked at it carefully, "Oh, this is..."

Wu Lei waited for a while but did not get an answer. He could only explain: "The cardboard that Mike Phelan brought out during the game against Norwich had 22 written on it."

Solskjaer fell silent, remembering that a long time ago, he had walked around Old Trafford holding a similar piece of cardboard.

Wu Lei coughed twice and continued: "Actually, during the halftime break of the 10-1 sweep of Liverpool, Mike Phelan brought out this cardboard."

"It must have been Best's idea." Solskjaer suddenly chuckled, "Sir Alex Ferguson will definitely be very satisfied."

Ten minutes later, after listening to a story, Wu Lei thought about it again and again, took the phone and opened Weibo.

…

Carrington Base.

"Of course, Gary, you disappoint me so much. You didn't even guess a single thing." Sun Wu sat on the sofa in the office, staring at the screen on the opposite wall.

Holding the mobile phone in his hand, he said casually: "Yes, yes, that's how it was back then. I just paid tribute to Sir Alex Ferguson."

Putting down his mobile phone, Sun Wu continued to look at Benzema's video information on the screen. Mike Phelan next to him smiled and asked: "Who thought of it first?"

"Solskjaer." Sun Wu pouted, "He remembered it when he was chatting with China Wu."

"Oh, yes, yes, he was the one who brought the sign to the stadium back then."

17 years ago, in the 1998-1999 season, after the penultimate league round of the season, Andy Cole walked onto the pitch holding a sign, and then Solskjaer and Sheringham took the sign to Home fans wave.

The number written on the sign is 23.

Sheringham and Andy Cole later mentioned in interviews more than a decade later that the number on the sign was the date before the last game of the season, which was the Champions League final.

At that time, Manchester United unified their thinking internally and launched a charge towards the club's first Triple Crown under the leadership of Ferguson.

23 days later, Sheringham and Solskjaer both scored goals to reverse Bayern. Since then, Manchester United led by Ferguson has truly emerged as the top club in modern football.

17 years later, Manchester United entered the Best era. In Sun Wu's first season in office, he arrogantly raised this sign.

Sun Wu believes that he can do it!

…

Regarding Sun Wu leading Manchester United to the Champions League final and possibly making Manchester United the only club in history to win two trebles, the attitudes of all parties are a bit strange.

Most of the wealthy clubs are implicitly supporting Real Madrid. The reason is simple. After the restructuring of the Champions League, no team has successfully defended the Champions League title.

After the UEFA Champions League was restructured in 1992, AC Milan, with its "Dutch Three Musketeers", entered the finals for three consecutive years, losing 0-1 to Marseille the previous year. Although Marseille was disqualified from participating in the Toyota Cup due to a bribery case, UEFA did not Take away that Champions League title.

In the second year, AC Milan swept Barcelona 4-0, but in the third year, Ajax's Kluivert shattered Milan's dream of defending the title.

Juventus reached the finals for three consecutive years, but only won the championship on penalties in the first year. In the following two years, Juventus lost to Dortmund and Real Madrid.

After that came the unlucky Valencia, who first lost 1-3 to Real Madrid and were defeated by Bayern Munich on penalties the following year.

Manchester United has also reached the finals for two consecutive years. The previous year they defeated Chelsea on penalties to win the championship. The next year they were defeated by Barcelona without any suspense, and the latter became a new member of the Triple Crown.

From a probability perspective, within 24 years, four teams have had six chances to defend their title, but all have failed. This probability is too low.

Therefore, the European giants are all expressing goodwill to Real Madrid. No one can defend the title. The emperor will take turns to come to my house next year. Why should Manchester United hold on to their position?

We have no control over your Manchester United winning three consecutive Premier League titles, but this is the Champions League title!

Among the many giants, there is one team whose players feel the most uncomfortable and embarrassed. This is Real Madrid's eternal rival Barcelona.

Emotionally speaking, Barcelona is certainly willing to support Manchester United...even if Manchester United can complete its first defense of the title in history.

From another perspective, Barcelona has a complicated view of Manchester United. In 2009, Barcelona defeated Manchester United 2-0 to win the first Triple Crown in their history.

But last season, Barcelona, ​​which won the La Liga championship and the Copa del Rey, was revenged by Manchester United in the Champions League final.

Barcelona people will inevitably think so. Originally, we were the first team in history to win two triple crowns, but now...are we going to support the enemy who ruined everything?
