Pressure on 290 stars
"I bet that pizza was definitely thrown out by Arsenal's No.11! Just as he can deliver through balls with incredible precision with his feet, his throwing precision is no less impressive. ”
"Hahaha, what's the truth?"
"We all know that Chinese are very good at playing table tennis, they can control even such a small ball perfectly, isn't it easier to have a piece of pizza?"
"No, no, no, if that's the case, then there are too many suspects, Ashley Cole, Campbell should be the most likely perpetrator, Phil Taylor is known to be a darts world champion and he's British."
"It's possible! But the clue from Old Trafford is that Ashley Cole and Campbell are rushing to the front line to fight the Manchester United players, so where did they get a piece of pizza? Who is closest to the locker room? It's Qin Xiong! ”
"I don't deny that he is suspicious, but I can't take speculation as fact."
'Of course, but I insist that he is the most likely, apart from his ability to drop pizza on Sir Alex Ferguson with precision from the cracks, he also has motivation, he scored two goals for Arsenal and is the number one contributor to the team, if Arsenal beat Manchester United on the road, my God, can you imagine how many Gunners fans he will get in Highbury? So he was finally equalized by Manchester United and could only leave Old Trafford with a draw, and his mood must have been extremely depressed! He had the perfect motivation to do it! ”
Qin Xiong sat on the sofa in the living room on the first floor of the apartment and turned off the TV casually.
He returned home from Manchester and went home to some of his team-mates who had just finished a fight and said they were going to the pub for a drink, but he didn't go.
And when you get home, take a shower, put on your dressing gown, and turn on the TV. I saw BBC Sport reporting on the clash that took place in the players' tunnel at Old Trafford. Several guests spoke freely and expressed their opinions.
It's obvious. Fighting doesn't seem to be the focus of the outside world.
Who threw out that slice of pizza became the focus.
It can be said that Qin Xiong is only one step away from the location of the accident, and the scene is so chaotic that it is not outrageous that he is regarded as a suspect.
Ding dong.
The doorbell rang, Qin Xiong got up and walked to open the door, Freddie stood outside the door, and there were several cars parked on the street, and reporters were ambushed inside, before Freddie entered the door. There were already paparazzi getting out of the car to take pictures in his direction.
Qin Xiong hurriedly let Freddy in and then closed the door.
After Freddie came in, he unbuttoned his suit jacket, stared at Qin Xiong calmly with his hands on his waist, and said lightly: "Is that you?" ”
Qin Xiong went to pour water for him, turned his head and asked, "What is me?" ”
"Is that the pizza you threw at Ferguson?"
Qin Xiong was silent and brought a water cup and put it on the coffee table.
Seeing that he had not spoken, Freddie raised his right hand and stroked his forehead and sighed, saying, "It's really you!" The"
Throwing pizza to a legendary manager?
In any case, this will damage the player's reputation, worse than fighting with the opponent.
Because no matter in terms of roles or the age gap between the two sides, players should not be rough with the manager.
It's terrible!
Qin Xiong shook his head and said, "I can only sue you, not the pizza I lost." Don't ask about the rest, I won't tell. ”
The locker room has a tradition of changing rooms. The closed nature of the team is one of the management principles, and it is also the core principle!
Freddie was stunned for a moment, then sat down to drink saliva and said with a long sigh of relief: "Not you?" Good! Then a reporter asks about it, and you can respond positively and defend yourself. ”
Qin Xiong still shook his head and said, "I won't make any response. ”
Freddie was puzzled and asked, "Why?" Don't you think about your reputation? ”
Qin Xiong frowned slightly, and said, "The outside world is just guessing, there is no evidence, how can you let me speak?" When I dissociate myself, isn't it a betrayal of my teammates? ”
"But now 9 out of 10 people out there say you did it!"
"Then I responded to the outside world that I didn't do it! How many people will believe? If I don't name a teammate, will it change the situation? I don't say it, the outside world will still doubt me, and will doubt the next teammate, or two, three. I don't want to complicate things and make my teammates feel like they're betraying them when they hear me say something defensible to reporters! ”
In fact, only if Qin Xiong tells the truth to the outside world, insists that Fabregas did it, and makes the details public, can the suspicion be completely cleared, otherwise he can defend himself with just one mouth, who the hell will believe it?
If Fabregas is not betrayed, his justification will only expose more teammates to unfair speculation and suspicion.
And these two situations, no matter which one they are, will make Qin Xiong isolated in the locker room, the core is not who to betray, who is important or not, but the attitude and position!
Freddie stood up and hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "I don't understand why you are willing to be blamed and even hated by countless Manchester United fans around the world!" Ferguson's status in the hearts of Manchester United fans is too high! And in the hearts of neutral viewers, they don't believe in facts, they only believe in public opinion, you will leave a bad impression on many people, 19-year-old you, throwing pizza to a coach who is over 50 years old? Think about it, how would you feel if you saw something like this? ”
Qin Xiong still shook his head, staring at Freddy with a burning gaze, and said, "Kyle, what you said is not wrong at all! But that's just your position, or you're on the public side, and I know you're looking out for me, for my benefit, and you're good in many ways, but you haven't played football, you haven't walked into the locker room that is bound by an oath of loyalty! I respect Sir Alex Ferguson in my heart, but at the moment of the incident, no one is calm, and countless people can talk and accuse me, accuse him, blame whomever and who, but at that time, can you understand the feelings of us players, including the coach? I can't experience it! At that moment, Sir Alex Ferguson was our enemy! When I calmed down, if I had done it, I would have apologized privately to Sir Alex Ferguson. But at that moment, did you think the Arsenal players would regret it? No! -no one will regret it! That's happening, that's happening, have you seen any Arsenal players or club officials come out and clarify? No! Why didn't Henry, who was also under suspicion, stand not far from me, come forward to clarify? Because we are a team, a whole, we went together against Manchester United, and someone did what seems disgraceful now, but that is already a fact, and it can't be changed, do you want to stand up and pretend to be a saint? Say a few words to defend yourself and appear to be a moral person? In disguise, isn't he abandoning his teammates and saying that he actually looks down on his teammates for doing this? ”
Freddie's expression was dumbfounded and speechless.
He should understand.
Players are footballers, not saints.
Even if there are celebrity idols here, it doesn't mean that they are moral models.
There is a beautiful side to the green world, and there is naturally an ugly side, but in fact, there is no difference between society.
Freddie sighed, sat down again, and said softly: "You should be able to understand my feelings, I just hope that you can be a perfect football star, especially since you have done a good job yourself, I can't tolerate this kind of groundless accusation coming to you, so to speak, you are being slandered, but the outside world is playing a side game, hehe, doubt, ten people doubt, a hundred people doubt, a thousand, ten thousand, when enough people are emphasizing doubt, doubt or not, it doesn't matter anymore." ”
Qin Xiong comforted him with a smile and said, "Even if I defend myself, not many people believe it, Kyle, you can't make everyone like me, and I don't expect everyone to like me, hehehe, those who doubt it, it's my people, no matter what I say, they will only think I'm quibbling, except for me to admit it myself: yes, that piece of pizza was thrown out by me!" Then they will believe me, and then, even more excitedly, they will stand up and accuse me, they will attack me, maybe they will come outside my apartment door and threaten me, hoping that I will break down, that I will make a fool of myself, that I will fail, and that I will kneel in front of the whole world and cry and repent. ”
Freddie nodded lightly and said: "This is the pressure of the stars, now you are even more disgusted by the fans of Manchester United, refusing Ferguson's invitation, almost beating Manchester United at Old Trafford, the biggest suspect in throwing pizza at Ferguson, English football is really worrying." ”
"Tired? When I'm tired, I rest, relax, I just play well, don't worry too much, I ignore the outside world, so I won't feel the pressure of public opinion. ”
Qin Xiong smiled and shrugged his shoulders. (To be continued......)
