585. There is a reversal after overtaking
The game is over.
Wow.
Warm hot water gushes out, like a sympathetic hug, warm, slippery, and comfortable.
Chu Ge shook his head.
Drops of water spread down his black hair.
The tiredness seems to have vanished.
Whew-
With a long breath, Chu Ge walked out of the shower area and walked towards the locker. When he pushed the door open, he was just in time to see Rashford's sad face and sigh.
In the locker room, the faces of other teammates were not good-looking.
Chu Ge smiled.
"Isn't it like you lost, what are you doing with a sad face?" He walked over to his closet and began to arrange his jersey and sneakers.
Rashford walked over to Chu Ge.
"It's true that I didn't lose, but I didn't win either. I just sat at the top of the league for a round, and it was gone in a blink of an eye, so angry. Rashford's immature face clearly showed a look of resentment and loss.
Chu Ge looked around.
In the dressing room, the rest of the people looked the same as Rashford's.
In the game that just ended, Manchester United drew 1-1 with Arsenal away.
It's not a shame to be able to get out of the way at the Emirates Stadium and get a draw. However, it was because of the draw in this game that Manchester United's previous winning streak was ended, and the top spot in the league was overtaken by Chelsea.
It's no wonder that Manchester United's players are in a state of low mood after the game.
They are frustrated by losing the top spot.
Chu Ge shook his head and smiled, not paying much attention to it.
As soon as the game ended, his teammates were in a bad mood, and he could understand that. He also believes that his teammates can come out of this emotion, adjust their mentality, and face the next games.
"You're doing pretty well today." Chu Ge touched Rashford's head.
There was no goal in today's game, with Marcus Rashford scoring a goal. Manchester United relied on Junior Marchus' goal to draw away from the Gunners.
"Haha." Rashford was a little happy when he remembered that goal. "But, seriously, if it wasn't for your advance, there wouldn't have been that offensive opportunity; If it wasn't for you getting the attention of all the defenders and then suddenly leaking the ball, I wouldn't have scored it. After all, that goal still depends on your super ability, Chu. ”
"A goal is a goal after all. You were in good shape this time, otherwise you wouldn't have scored this goal. Don't be overly humble. You've improved a lot. Chu Ge said with a smile.
"It's a pity it didn't lead to a victory." Marcus Rashford is still a bit disappointed.
Obviously, he is still haunted by the draw in this game.
'If you don't win the game, you don't have the point to score goals. He said dejectedly.
Chu Ge raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "This is not right. I didn't win this game, and I just had to win it back later. More goals are always better. ”
"But ......" Rashford hesitated. He was about to continue the discussion with Chu Ge when Ferguson's voice came from behind him.
"What Chu said is not wrong."
Ferguson walked into the dressing room.
He had apparently heard the discussion between Chu Ge and Rashford.
Clapping his palms, Ferguson motioned for his players to come around.
Watching the players look down on their heads and look disappointed, Ferguson smiled.
The "dressing room hairdryer" in the mouth of the media showed a warm smile to his players.
"Kids, I'm very happy with your performance today."
The players raised their heads in amazement, looked at their coaches, and thought, the game is drawn, the first place in the league is lost, and the coach is still satisfied with the game? Was he joking?
Ferguson clearly guessed what the players were thinking.
He continued to smile and explain: "Today's game was very difficult. I'm very familiar with Mr Arsene Wenger and he's definitely prepared for today's game. They sat at home, they were ready to do a big job and beat us. ”
"In fact, their game strategy was very successful and caused us a lot of problems. But even so, I'm glad to see that each and every one of you withstood the pressure, showed the level that United deserved, and managed to hold them to a tenacious draw. ”
"This is our eighth game in a month's row. It's every three days, and recently it's been away games, especially when you have to go back and forth between domestic and foreign matches. The schedule is dense, the opponents are strong, every game is very important, every game is like a final, and the pressure is very high. I was very worried that you wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure, but I'm proud that so far, all the players have been fully committed to defending the team's honour. I'm so proud of each and every one of you. Boys, you're all doing well! ”
"What I was most pleased with was that in the past games, we were always used to letting Chu solve the battle alone. This gave Chu motivation and also gave him a lot of pressure. And today, when he was surrounded by Arsenal defenders, many of our players took the initiative to step up and echo him. Antony [Anthony] shared a lot of the task of advancing and sharing the ball, and finally sprinted to the front of the box to provide a wonderful assist; Marcus [Marcus Rashford] did just as well and scored a very good and very important goal. Everyone else has been doing really well, both offensively and defensively, and has made a lot of dedication and sacrifice for the team. ”
'It's a shame not to win, but that's often the case in football. Hard work doesn't necessarily lead to victory. But a united, positive, fighting and enthusiastic team will always be the favourites to win. ”
"Boys, you guys did a great job and I'm very happy with today's game."
"The game can be drawn, or even lost, and we at Manchester United can't afford to lose, we haven't won. Winning back the games you lost, winning the honours you lost, that's what the Red Devils do. It's just that I'm temporarily behind in the rankings. Didn't we fall behind them by a whole season and overtake them in the last round? Just because you're behind now doesn't mean you're still behind at the end of the season! With the last three games left, we still have plenty of chances to complete the counter-attack! ”
"Kids, forget about those past games and look up. What awaits us is the battle for the Champions League in the Europa League, the decisive battle of the strongest king in the Premier League. It's an opportunity we've worked hard to earn all season long. I want each and every one of you to do your best for this, like in today's game. No matter what the final result is, go all out to leave no regrets! ”
"I'm sure you can do it!"
"Come on!"
Alex Ferguson high-fived every Manchester United player.
When the morale of the team was affected by today's game, the old man used his experience and words to reawaken the team's fighting spirit.
There was some gloomy atmosphere in the locker room, which was suddenly swept away.
The players cheered up.
They encouraged each other and even started looking ahead to the next races.
They can't wait to get back on the field.
"You can't be cowardly as a man! That's it! Rooney's words speak for the players.
……
As the players left, the dressing room became deserted.
Chu Ge pulled at the end.
The physiotherapist did some final check-ups, as well as cooling and dressing the wound.
Ferguson also stayed.
He looked at Chu Ge with some concern.
Today's game, the draw with Arsenal, was expected by him.
Even, if he loses, he can accept it.
And the team's outburst of unity and cooperation in the face of adversity even made Ferguson feel that there were many unexpected gains in this game.
But.
Chu Ge was injured.
This quickly clouded Ferguson's mood. He didn't even wait for the game to end, he replaced Chu Ge in advance, even if the team still needed Chu Ge's help at that time.
Compared with the gains and losses of this game, Ferguson pays more attention to Chu Ge's situation.
"How?" Ferguson asked the team doctor.
There was even some nervousness in his voice.
And when the team lost the top spot, he didn't stress about it.
The team doctor glanced at Ferguson, and was just about to speak, when Chu Ge spoke first.
"I think it's okay." Chu Ge said with a relaxed expression. "It's just a collision."
He didn't care.
Ferguson didn't speak, just looked at the team doctor.
The team doctor hesitated for a moment and said, "What Chu said is right. However, whether the old wound has been touched or not, this needs to be examined in detail after going back. ”
Professional players have more or less hidden injuries. If an old injury recurs, it will be more troublesome, and this is what the team doctor is worried about.
"For now, the situation is quite optimistic. However, he was already very tired, and even if the final examination did not get in the way, I still suggested that he take a break. The team should be prepared to miss at least one or two games, just in case. The team doctor reminded Ferguson.
"I don't need any rest." Chu Ge raised his eyebrows.
Ferguson didn't speak.
Just glanced at Chu Ge.
……
Manchester United's next game is a rematch against Celta.
In this game, Ferguson did not recruit Chu Ge.
He forcibly gave Chu Ge a vacation.
This move made the media suspicious.
And Manchester United fans, affected by the media reports, have begun to worry.
