Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 342 Halftime Lecture
Arsene Wenger changed the way he celebrated today, and instead of clenching his fists with his arms and fists, he jumped up from the dugout and rushed to the sidelines, hugging the players who rushed out of the field.
"Ahh Professor: What's wrong with this? So excited. ”
"The professor has a second spring!"
"The defense of the title is in sight, and the professor is possessed by the madman Mourinho."
The professor's uncharacteristically celebrated manner surprised Arsenal fans, who cheered and joked.
Ferguson's expression hardly changed, but he chewed the gum faster, and the hand on the seat trembled slightly, which fully exposed the tension in Jazz's heart, and a sensitive reporter secretly filmed this scene, after the game, the 70-year-old Ferguson's hand tremor and Wenger's wild celebration became the classic shot of this final, which also marked the change of two dynasties.
In the VIP box, Her Majesty Elizabeth excitedly said to her granddaughter Eugenie: "Good ball! Fantastic free-kick, it was a shame that I didn't get to Madrid last time. ”
Ogenie is also a fan of Li Huan, and unlike her grandmother, she is not an Arsenal fan, which is also a common characteristic of most female fans, who are fans rather than team fans. She was cheering, hearing Queen Elizabeth's praise, she said happily: "He is the best star on the planet, more handsome than David, more beautiful than David's free kicks, he laughs charmingly." ”
Elizabeth looked at Eugenie lovingly and quipped, "It's a shame that he doesn't want to play for the Federation, otherwise I would have let you marry him." ”
Eugenie said with a twinkle in her eyes: "He is the dream girl of many English girls, and he is also the best football star, but the football star is definitely not a good husband." ”
Elizabeth II said very leniently: "Man? You can't resist the temptation, don't think that even Ryan Giggs cheated and didn't trust all the players in the world. ”
A similar conversation took place in another VIP box, and Kroenke sincerely praised: "It's a blessing for Arsenal to have such a Li Huan, and we are going to defend the title." ”
"Your blessings will soon be gone." Bella said very seriously, she is still dressed very differently today, it is a Chinese cheongsam, but it looks like she has the temperament of an oriental lady.
Kroenke has only been buying Arsenal for two seasons, Arsenal's market value has doubled, seeing that Arsenal is about to successfully defend the title, he is in a very good mood today, smiled slightly, and said: "No matter what method I use, I will keep him, even if I marry my baby daughter to him." ”
Vela pouted: "Who dares to marry a player now, even a player like Ryan Giggs who is loyal to Manchester United is cheating." ”
Kroenke smiled and said, "For men, loyalty to the club and loyalty to their wives are two different concepts. ”
Bella said with a smile: "Dad, do you think the same way." ”
Kroenke saw the face of his wife Hedong's lion roar in front of him, and immediately waved his hand and said, "I'm old, how can I have such thoughts." ”
"Then if you say that you are young, you will have other ideas?" Bella Road.
Kroenke is not a simple person, he laughed dryly when he heard this, and said: "You kid, you actually squeezed your father, do you think I'm you young people, Bella, you like that Chinese kid, right?" ”
"Like him? Dad, you're kidding. The VIP box was too unatmospheric, so I went out and interacted with the fans. Bella was told by her father, and immediately got up and left the box indifferently and walked to the outside stands.
Kroenke shook his head in surprise, he felt that his daughter paid too much attention to Li Huan, and she would follow her every time she watched the game, but he didn't expect that Bella really liked Li Huan. This made Kroenke think he had to think about it.
Not to mention the fans and aristocratic guests celebrating outside the stadium, the players on both sides on the pitch have become different mentalities because of Li Huan's goal, and the Arsenal players have changed from attacking to defending, waiting for opportunities to attack, trying to seal the win on the basis of 1:0, rather than risking the loss of the goal to play.
Of course, the mentality of Manchester United's players has completely changed, and what is more infuriating than conceding a goal is conceding a ball towards the end of a match, whether it is in the first half or the second half, which is as frustrating as in a boxing match when you get a sneak punch at the end of a round. The Reds were keen to get back in the remaining minutes so they didn't get too passive in the second half, and in the final few minutes, they didn't have to worry about the physical drain and the opposition wouldn't even have time to fight back.
However, Arsenal has run in very well over the years, and has added a few powerful players, after the formation is retracted, Manchester United has Rooney's small tank, but there is no high striker, it is difficult to get the opportunity to knock on Arsenal's door, and Arsenal's counterattack has made Manchester United's backline full of rumors.
A few minutes passed quickly, United did not score, Arsenal did not score again, and with the whistle of referee Kase, the first half ended, and the players of both sides stopped scrambling and running, and walked towards the tunnel in groups of three.
The leading Arsenal side was elated, discussing what was happening on the pitch and summing up the gains and losses, while United walked briskly towards the dressing room with gloomy faces, unwilling to spend even a second on the pitch.
In the locker room, Ferguson has been waiting for a long time, the situation on the field is grim, and the old jazz is not in a hurry, he is already seventy years old, if he can't win the championship this time, Ferguson may want to win the championship again The surname is very small, after all, age is not forgiving.
As the players came in dejected, Ferguson hugged each player and said: "You played well in the first half, I think it was the best first half you've played against Arsenal this season, they didn't have any chances, the only chance came from a free-kick, of course the only chance they scored. We can't do anything about this, we can't blame Van der Sar, he has done his best, I don't think anyone in this world will save Li Huan's shot. ”
Ferguson has always been very tough, and he often speaks foully, and a large part of the reason why the players are so depressed is that they are worried about returning to the dressing room and being criticized by Ferguson, and the nickname of the old jazz "hair dryer" is not called in vain. Now Ferguson not only did not criticize them, but encouraged and praised them, which made the Manchester United players surprised, delighted and ashamed, and they didn't know what to say.
"I've faced all kinds of failures in my coaching career, so failure doesn't scare me, it's because of those failures that I am always vigilant and always remind myself that I am not perfect and that I still have a lot to improve. Everyone is not perfect, and they need to learn from their failures and overcome difficulties in order to gain real strength. In the eyes of the media, I often tell them how many championships I have won, I am a championship coach, but those are perfunctory for the layman, entertaining the public, but I often tell my friends, my comrades-in-arms, I often tell them, the most proud thing in my life is that I can still firmly adhere to my rationale in the face of so many failures, and overcome the difficulties in a brave way, so that Manchester United continues to move towards glory. And I have been able to win so many championships, there is no special magic weapon, the most important thing is that I dare to face failure, I am good at learning lessons, and I can turn the setbacks in my life into motivation to move forward, these are what I really want to say to you.
At that time, Hansen said that I couldn't win the championship with a bunch of children, and I told him that Manchester United could not only win the championship with children, but also pull Liverpool off his mother's throne, and said at the time that some people thought it was a big joke, but 20 years later, who still believed that I was a fool's dream, the king of the Premier League is Manchester United, and Liverpool is finished. If it's a miracle, then I'm going to do another miracle today, and that's the win over the unbeatable Arsenal, who have now won all the trophies except the Champions League, and have left no one behind, and we're just going to kick them off the throne now. This difficulty is daunting, but it is not impossible to accomplish. The trophy is only one step away from you, if we lose, you don't even have a chance to sneak around, you have to give it your all, if you don't give it your all, I see which of you dares to go back to the dressing room after the game. “……
Ferguson was in his dressing room, blowing the blower, Wenger was not idle, although the team was ahead, but after all, there was still half a game to start, and a few minutes of hard work lead may be behind, and the professor did not dare to be careless at this time.
The professor shook hands with the disciples one by one, and then said, "You guys are good, you played a wonderful first half, and I believe everyone did their best." If we can't win the championship if we continue to fight like this, it means that we are really unlucky.
In the second half, Manchester United will definitely press out and play, they will not be willing to concede, our backline will be under a lot of pressure, I am sure you can resist it, even if it is a failure, as long as you do your best. Li Huan stood up and said impassionedly: "If we don't win the championship, we can be considered successful this season, but if we can defend the Champions League, we will go down in history." ”
Fabregas said: "The professor and Li Huan are right, we don't have other thoughts in our minds at this time, that is, to pursue victory, we will not lose anything, but we may win the whole world." ”
There was a round of applause in the dressing room, and the Arsenal players saw that the coach and the vice-captain were full of confidence, and their apprehension was put to rest. Even the coach and the team's biggest players are not afraid to take responsibility, so how can they be afraid. As Li Huan and Cesc Fabregas said, you won't lose anything if you lose, but if you win, you may win the whole world. “
