Chapter 417: Injuries Can't Break Manchester United (Page 1/1)

Benitez and Alex Ferguson both looked ugly at the press conference.

Both of them miscalculated, and it was not at all the result they needed. A draw and a replay, which is simply killing them.

"The draw was bad, we wanted to win the game and wait for Villarreal, but the plan never kept up with the changes......," Benitez said.

'I think Manchester United is in the same situation as us. I don't regret choosing to play the FA Cup with the main line-up, at least we didn't lose to Manchester United today, we made huge progress and didn't collapse at the last minute, which was a good performance for Liverpool. ”

Benitez looked contented, and in his opinion, Liverpool at least did not lose to Manchester United, and a draw was an improvement...... Some Ah Q spirit.

It seemed that the Liverpool fans were similar to his mentality, at least after the game, and the Liverpool players were applauded, and the draw may have really made them feel a little satisfied. Later, the local newspaper "Daily Mail" also spoke positively about Liverpool, believing that Liverpool had overcome the demons, and although the draw was disappointing, it was full of hope for a replay......

Alex Ferguson also appeared at the press conference with a straight face.

"I'll try to be brief." Before he even started, Ferguson reminded the media that he didn't have the patience to deal with them.

Then he briefly commented on the game: "The game was good, but the result was bad. Smith's injury came as a surprise to me, but I don't regret that choice. ”

Just as the media was about to ask questions about the team, Ferguson said coldly, "That's all I have to say. I have a lot of things to do today", and as soon as the voice fell, the Scots walked to the exit without looking back, leaving a number of reporters and cameras in the press room.

This process is only 74 seconds, which is incredibly fast......

It seems that the lord does not want to face endless harsh questions and pestering from reporters. He didn't have the extra mind to talk about it, after all, in three days, the Rangers, one of the overlords of the Soviet Super League, was about to kill.

An FA Cup draw is depressing, but it is far from the worst, and a draw at least means that Manchester United are still on the FA Cup journey, and Liverpool is not taking advantage of it.

Soon after the game, information about Smith's condition came out, and the hospital confirmed that Smith had a serious ankle injury and was out for the season......

Yes, first Heinze and then Scholes were reimbursed for the season due to eye problems. Now the nightmare is happening to Smith again. In the Anfield game, although Manchester United did not lose the hope of winning the FA Cup, Smith may lose more, the League Cup final, the remaining games of the Premier League, I am afraid that the World Cup will be in the world.

Shortly before the end of the game, Smith injured himself while blocking Gerrard's long-range shot, leaning his whole body back as he ran, and pressed heavily on his left leg that supported his center of gravity. At that time, Van der Sar immediately signaled for a substitution after taking a look, and Smith was seriously injured at that time. The team doctor and stretcher rushed into the field, and after a brief examination, immediately splinted Smith's injured leg before lifting him off the field.

I didn't expect the result to be so serious now.

Manchester United's midfield position is already short of manpower and stretched. This means that Carrick is the only player left who can take the lead...... Both Fletcher and Park Ji-sung are temporarily useless in the middle.

At the moment, Ferguson feels how prescient he was to spend a lot of money on Carrick in the winter transfer window, otherwise he would not have been available now.

Although Ferguson tried to keep the team calm, the news media did not allow him and his team to be quiet.

The Times wrote an article that was directly unfavorable to Manchester United: "For a draw, Ferguson is likely to ruin Manchester United's season, and the departure of Paul Scholes and Smith could have a major impact on Manchester United, even if they cross the Rangers hurdle, what will they do in the league and the next round of the Champions League?" ”

The Guardian said: "Mourinho finally laughed, Manchester United has abandoned his martial arts, lost a midfield man in succession, and it is absolutely impossible to have the strength to wrestle with Chelsea, and now, Mourinho can concentrate on Barcelona." ”

Ferguson rolled up the newspaper and threw it into the trash, not giving a damn about it. Manchester United is miserable, but has Manchester United not been miserable in the past two years? Without Scholes and Smith, wouldn't there be anyone else?

His captain of Ferguson did not forget Smith.

Dong Fangzhuo bought a bouquet of flowers at noon the next day to visit Smith in the hospital, as the captain of Manchester United, this is his obligation, although the relationship with Smith is still not a friend, but he does not hide personal selfishness, not a friend, at least a colleague who struggles together.

What's more, he admired Smith's iron-blooded spirit on the court, this Smith was not the Smith of a year and a half ago! He could tell.

What he didn't expect was that he was stopped by reporters at the gate of the hospital, obviously, many reporters came here to take a look, but they must have been rejected by the medical staff.

Seeing Dong Fangzhuo's arrival, they naturally surrounded Dong Fangzhuo.

Dong Fangzhuo first pleaded with everyone not to disturb Smith's recuperation, and then commented on Smith's injury:

"Smith was badly injured, fractured, ruptured ligaments, and his ankle was exposed. It's one of the worst injuries I've ever seen, really, really serious, and all of our hearts are on Smith at this moment. ”

Smith collapsed on the field with a pained expression, but when he was taken off the stretcher, his expression was determined. The courage Alan has shown is astonishing and it will be a long-term process to recover from his injury, but we will all give him our full support. The best consolation is the Carabao Cup title and future victories. ”

Then Dong Fangzhuo talked about the upcoming Champions Cup knockout round.

'This season, I've lost a lot of team-mates, Heinze, Rio Ferdinand, Paul Scholes, Brown, Smith...... I'm very sad but I'm going to keep fighting for them, injuries can't break Manchester United and I know a lot of people don't think about Manchester United, but look at it, you're going to see Manchester United win against Rangers at Old Trafford in midweek and you won't let anyone down. ”

In the hospital, Smith was surprised by Dong Fangzhuo's arrival, but Smith understood that Dong Fangzhuo is now the captain of Manchester United, and it is not strange to come to see him.

"Do you want to bring Paul and Leo out of a hospital room?"

"Haha, don't be funny...... Smith laughed rarely.

You know, his serious injury could have caused him to miss the 2006 World Cup......

This problem, in fact, Dong Fangzhuo also has to face, the national team leader Zhu Heyuan has called more than once and asked him to take a leisurely time in the game......
