Chapter 478 A Pair of Grandfathers

"This is Sky TV!"

"Friends from the audience, we are doing a live commentary for you at Old Trafford in Manchester."

"This is the fifth round of the Premier League, Manchester United vs Arsenal."

"The game is about to start now."

"In addition to the strong dialogue between Manchester United and the Gunners, this game has a special attraction for fans, that is, in yesterday's game against Chelsea, Yang Yang scored three consecutive goals. drama."

"It also makes a lot of people look forward to seeing if Cristiano Ronaldo can reproduce the wonderful performance of Yang Yang a week ago, especially the opening goal."

"Of course, ten seconds is not realistic. After all, it does require luck. Many fans believe that if they can score within three minutes, or even five minutes, it can be regarded as a draw with Yang Yang."

...

"The game started, and Manchester United took the lead!"

"The Red Devils seem to be playing more aggressively at home!"

"Arsenal retreated across the board, and Wenger made a four-five-one counterattack."

...

"Okay, Manchester United's attack from the left, Sylvester made a direct pass, Fletcher followed in the middle and hit the goal with his left foot!"

"Galas blocked it in time!"

"Manchester United's attack was very threatening this time, and it went directly into the penalty area."

...

"It's Manchester United's attack on the left, this time Cristiano Ronaldo has the ball..."

"... Hit the door directly!"

"The ball is over the near corner!"

"The distance of this shot is too far, at least 30 meters. This is definitely a very irrational behavior."

"It can be seen that Cristiano Ronaldo is a little too hasty."

"It should have been influenced by the media comments before the game, and the battle between him and Yang Yang."

"Rooney was very depressed, raised his hand, as if to tell his teammates, buddy, I have run out of space, you are passing the ball!"

...

"Manchester United pushed hard."

"Rooney forced into the penalty area, Lehmann got the ball, the referee blew the whistle, signaled Lehmann to take the ball outside the penalty area, fouled, and gave Manchester United a set-piece in the frontcourt in a very good position, Lehmann got a yellow card."

"Cristiano Ronaldo at the penalty spot!"

"Kick the door directly!"

"Once again!"

"Manchester United's players have some opinions about his behavior, like saying that this position is more suitable for indirect free-kicks than direct hits, but the Portuguese still looks very impatient."

...

In the 21st minute, Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball into the left side of the penalty area and took a low shot that went wide of the far corner.

In the 27th minute, the Portuguese took a long-range free kick from the left and was blocked by the wall.

A minute later, Evra passed the ball again, and the Portuguese volleyed from the left side of the penalty area, which was saved by Lehmann.

In the 37th minute, Scholes took a corner kick, Saha volleyed his left foot in the melee, and Cristiano Ronaldo blocked the ball in the confusion.

In the 41st minute, after the Portuguese intercepted the ball in midfield, he passed Gilberto Silva and shot a long shot from 27 meters away from the goal, which went wide again.

Then Fletcher made a cross from the right, and Eboue topped. After the unguarded Portuguese stopped the ball on the left chest of the penalty area, he volleyed the ball with his left foot and directly missed the best scoring opportunity in the first half.

...

After changing sides in the second half, Manchester United continued to create shooting opportunities, and Cristiano Ronaldo kept getting kicks, but failed to score due to various reasons.

The number of shots of the Portuguese also quickly rushed to ten times, frequently wasting opportunities, too many indiscriminate shots, so that the fans at Old Trafford also began to feel dissatisfied with the performance of the Portuguese.

Especially in the 85th minute of the game, after Cristiano Ronaldo got the ball, he tried to break through with the ball, but was stole by Fabregas, who was returning to the defense, and then Fabregas kicked. Pass directly to the left of the penalty area.

Arsenal striker Adebayor rushed up quickly and hit a shot from close range.

This is the only goal in the game!

The whole Old Trafford stadium was booed, and many Manchester United fans even blamed Cristiano Ronaldo.

…………

…………

In the coaching bench of the home team, Ferguson sat in the first seat and watched the game silently.

The Scottish coach looked a little disappointed, because he knew that Manchester United will usher in the first defeat of the season.

He was used to losing, but he didn't expect to lose to Arsenal.

"He's still acting too impatient." Carlos Queiroz sighed aside.

Impatience, which is a very big problem with Cristiano Ronaldo.

If you are anxious, you will be impatient, and if you are impatient, it will be even more urgent.

In the whole game, he shot more than a dozen shots by himself. Not only Manchester United fans but also Manchester United players should blame him.

This made Queiroz, who has the best relationship with him in the team, worried. He wondered whether this compatriot could withstand the pressure, because his current situation was also quite bad.

In the World Cup, although each has its own masters, Cristiano Ronaldo pressured the referee and sent Rooney off with a red card, which made him criticized in the UK, and even almost escaped from Manchester United this summer. , to Real Madrid.

And so far this season, his performance is really unsatisfactory. Except for the three consecutive players, he has hardly any performance, which is completely inconsistent with the expectations of the fans and the club.

Especially in a game like tonight, when the team lost to Arsenal, there is no need to wait until tomorrow. After the game, the fans in the stands will definitely attack, and tomorrow, the media all over the UK will bombard him.

Queiroz was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but Ferguson seemed calm.

"You have to have confidence in him, Carlos."

Queiroz glanced at Ferguson, "But you know his character."

"To achieve great things, you must first be able to conquer yourself." Ferguson said lightly, "He is right, he is destined to fight against his character in his life. Tonight is not the beginning, nor will it be the end."

Queiroz opened his mouth and hesitated.

"I know what you want to say, but you should know that what others give is never yours, because you never know when you will lose it, only what you strive for is what truly belongs to you. my own."

Having said this, Ferguson suddenly looked at Queiroz and smiled.

"Do you know why Benitez didn't focus on Yang Yang in terms of tactical weight? He didn't let others like Crouch and Kuyt do their best to help Yang Yang, do you know why?"

"He just came to the Premier League?"

"It's just one reason, more importantly, Yang Yang has no roots and no status in the Liverpool dressing room."

Queiroz quickly understood.

The locker room is a micro-society, where everyone has their own interests.

Some people want fame, some people want profits, some people want to sit on the bench, but some people always want to be the protagonist...

Different interests will lead to different interpersonal relationships.

Yang Yang arrived for the first time, and he had no status or foundation. Even if Benitez forcibly arranged it, no one would obey him.

Instead, it is better to treat them equally, maintain the stability and harmony of the locker room, and let everyone compete together.

If he is really capable, Yang Yang will let everyone obey him.

But if there is no ability, even if Benitez forcibly arranges it is in vain.

Such as Chelsea's Shevchenko.

The same is true of Cristiano Ronaldo now.

"He not only needs to grow and mature, but he also needs to show his strength to conquer his teammates and make everyone believe in him and be willing to play games around him. That's what a competitive team should do. of."

Queiroz understood Ferguson's good intentions, "But now... what if he can't bear it?"

"That proves that both you and I have misunderstood. He is not worth the effort we put into him at all."

As soon as Ferguson finished speaking, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Manchester United suffered their first defeat of the new season, losing 1-0 at home to Arsenal.

Ferguson didn't replace Cristiano Ronaldo from start to finish, but let the Portuguese play the full game.

Not just tonight, but the end, the next game...

That's how Ferguson put his trust in him and how the Scottish manager developed him.

Queiroz knew in his heart how precious these three points are!

He can't say that Ferguson doesn't trust Cristiano Ronaldo, he can't say that Ferguson doesn't reuse him, and he can't even demand how Cristiano Ronaldo should be.

They all tried their best!

Personality is really not something that can be changed by changing, but can be changed by changing.

"Trust me, Carlos, as long as he survives this disaster, he will complete his transformation and officially become a first-tier player in the world, even a top player!" Ferguson said confidently.

He has trained too many players in his life. There are successes such as Class 92, and there are also some failures. He has seen too many players, so what he said and the arrangements he planned were all So convincing.

...

The Arsenal players on the pitch were celebrating, while the Manchester United players walked off the field with their heads drooping like bereaved dogs.

Cristiano Ronaldo was at the end of the team, because there were countless Manchester United fans booing him, and no one in the team wanted to be with him. He could only bear it all alone.

From the sidelines, Ferguson shook hands with the players walking off the pitch, encouraging them and sending them back to the locker room.

When it was Cristiano Ronaldo's turn, Ferguson didn't say a word, hugged the Portuguese directly, then, wrapped his arms around his shoulders, the two walked back to the tunnel side by side.

With Queiroz standing behind them, he felt like they were a couple.
