On September 13, Manchester United's away match with rival Liverpool, the focus of the battle at Anfield Stadium, the final battle between the two sides was 4:4, for this terrible score, commentator Lineker bluntly said that this game will be the most tragic game of the season, without one, he vows, there will be no more exciting and ups and downs than this game.

Referee Webb showed a total of eight yellow cards and three red cards in the game, two of which were directly presented, which shows the tragedy of the game.

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney was sent off, Liverpool were sent off Carragher and Marcos Alonso, and Jonk was also tackled to the sideline for treatment during the game, when United had used up three substitutions, Jonk had to stick with the game and provide a late assist to help the team eventually equalise, he had two assists in this game, but still did not score.

The game was so tragic that the game was even interrupted for a while due to a clash between players from both sides.

Hot Red! That's the headline of the Sunday Mirror's description of the game.

The water of the River Cam flowed quietly, and you could hear the chirping of birds, jingle bells, and the electric bell for the end of class, and suddenly the quiet campus came alive, and the crowd poured out of the buildings, talking loudly about something.

Ling Lusi was bowing her head to pack up her textbook utensils, she was now putting all her thoughts on studying and doing research, and her heart was calm.

Li Mei ran over: "Sisi, anyway, there are no classes, let's go to Chinatown for a walk, don't you work so hard, do you want to continue to study for a doctorate?" He muttered two more words. Beware of being an old girl. ”

Ling Lusi smiled and shook her head, ignoring her friend's jokes. "No, I'll help Professor Campbell sort out the paper later."

"I knew you'd say that." The friends were disappointed.

Someone shouted Li Mei. She went over to sign it, and it turned out to be a parcel.

"Wow~!" Li Mei suddenly screamed, "I received a reply, look, it's a reply from Manchester United, and an autographed poster from Jonker, which is really unexpected." ”

Ling Lusi was slightly stunned, remembering that her friend was actually a die-hard fan of that person, she smiled bitterly and shook her head. Said: "Yes, yes, this is called sincerity to the golden stone for opening, now be happy, please drink coffee in the evening." ”

Li Meihua kissed the signed poster a few times, nodded vigorously, and shook his hand very generously, "No problem, isn't it just a few pounds." It's a big deal to earn it back by swiping a few more plates. ”

Ling Lusi smiled, for Li Mei's optimism, she was also happy. Li Mei's family conditions were very difficult, and she was able to come to Cambridge to study. It's all earned by working outside.,A very sunny girl.。 Li Mei didn't know her identity either, and the two had a good relationship. It's not easy to be in this foreign land.

Professor Campbell is one of the oldest professors at Cambridge University who has a good temper. Of course, most of these old professors have something odd. This is also related to the fact that they are obsessed with research and rarely communicate with the outside world. It's just that Professor Campbell studies psychology and often does some psychological therapy for some celebrities, so he has more contact with the outside world, so it's 'relatively normal'.

Many parts of the University of Cambridge have preserved their medieval style, and you can see the ancient city buildings that have been carefully restored for hundreds of years, and the porches and walls of many campus buildings are still decorated with simple and solemn statues and seals, and the tall stained glass windows are like magnificent pictures.

Ling Lusi hugged two books, feeling the heritage and charm of this ancient university, she graduated from the University of Barcelona, and was admitted to Cambridge for a master's degree in this semester, as for why she chose this Ivy League school 100 kilometers away from London, maybe the real reason Ling Lusi herself is not willing to admit it. In fact, she has a ticket to next weekend's Chelsea home v Manchester United......

The door of Professor Campbell's office was closed, Ling Lusi knocked lightly, waited for half a minute and did not respond, she smiled, the professor must meditate again, she knocked on the door again with a strong force, and heard a cough inside, which means that you can go in, so she squeaked and pushed the door open.

Professor Campbell sat upright in his chair with a helmet on his head and two wires hanging down as if he were an alien, testing some of the necessary numbers while meditating.

"Professor, this is the number you want me to help you sort out, well, and the paper I wrote." Ling Lusi placed the paper on the table.

"Ah, beautiful Ling, you are the smartest and most beautiful student I have ever met, and I swear, if I were twenty years younger, I would definitely pursue you."

"I don't like old men." Ling Lusi said with a smile, Professor Campbell is over seventy years old this year, even if he is twenty years younger, he is more than fifty, but he is not an old man.

Ling Lusi knew that Professor Campbell was a very cute old man, so she was not so reserved.

"It really breaks my heart." Professor Campbell removed his helmet, put on his glasses, flipped through the paper briefly, and nodded in satisfaction. Then, taking off his reading glasses and rubbing his temples, "By the way, Ling, I have a tutoring job here, I think it must be suitable for you." He has always admired this student from Huaxia, and when he heard that Ling Lusi's family situation was not very good, he was always enthusiastic to help find a suitable part-time job, and he didn't know where the professor heard that Ling Lusi's family was very poor.

"Tutor?" Ling Lusi was stunned for a moment, "Oh, thank you, Professor, but, I think-"

Seeing that Ling Lusi seemed to be about to refuse his help, Campbell interrupted what Ling Lusi was about to say, he knew these Chinese students, knew that Oriental people were more subtle and polite, and were not willing to accept other people's help lightly, for fear of troublesome each other, the professor smiled and said: "Don't be busy refusing, this is a good job, Professor Pamir's students want to find a German teacher, I know that you have been in Germany and can speak German very well, of course, more importantly, Professor Pamir's student is a Chinese, I think this must be for you. "Said very mysteriously, squeezing his eyes, "This student of Professor Pamir is very rich. Remuneration is definitely not an issue. ”

"Alright then, I'll get in touch." Ling Lusi smiled slyly. "If I'm not satisfied, I'll turn down the job. Don't be angry. She had made up her mind, she politely called this number, said a few words casually, and dealt with the past, and besides, Professor Campbell was also kind.

Professor Campbell just smiled and didn't say anything further, and he didn't tell his student that the man who was looking for a German teacher was Jonker, now a household name in England. Because he knew that the star Jonker was very popular among Chinese international students and had many admirers, Ling Lusi should be too, so he wanted to surprise his students.

Thinking of the 'surprise' scene when Ling Lusi saw Jonk, Professor Campbell laughed proudly, Ling Lusi, who was revising the paper, was a little inexplicable, what happened to the professor today?

Ling Lusi dialed the number, but no one answered until the prompt sounded. She said in her heart that it was just right, so it would be good to give the professor an explanation, and if the professor asked, she said that she would be contacted. But the phone never answered.

When Ling called, Jonk was on his way to Old Trafford with the team's bus to prepare for the Champions League group stage against Villarreal.

His phone is silent. Naturally, no one answered, so he asked a friend to find a tutor in German. It's relatively hidden, at the level of Jonk. Any little thing can cause a sensation.

Let's take this as an example, he is looking for a German tutor, and if a player wants to hire a language teacher, it is likely that the reporter will find evidence of the transfer.

But for Jonker, it's not a big deal at all, and the reason is very simple, German and French are also mainstream languages, and Jonk just wants to learn it and prepare for the opportunities that may arise in the future.

The transfer, Jonker really didn't think about it, but if it was reported to the media, things would not be so simple.

The Champions Cup match against Villarreal, in fact, still has a special meaning for Jonker. Three seasons ago, Jonker's first Champions League match after moving to AC Milan was against Villarreal, where Jonk scored a hat-trick and made a splash on the European stage, making European football know himself.

Moreover, in that game, Manchester United was an away game, and Jonker's table was even more difficult. Today, it is Manchester United hosting Villarreal, so Manchester United fans and the English media are hoping that Jonker will be able to change the lackluster appearance since the start of the season with an excellent performance.

However, after 90 minutes of play, the score was still fixed at 0-0, with neither side scoreless, and United were unable to get off to a good start in their opening Champions League game of the new season.

Jonker played a goal in the game, but was ruled offside by the referee, although the slow-motion replay proved that it was a misjudgment, and the referee erased a goal from Jonker, but, on the whole, Jonk still failed to get out of a relatively sluggish state. This is not a small gap compared to the hot Jonk in the European Championship.

Moreover, in this game, Manchester United's biggest loss is Cristiano Ronaldo's injury and departure, Manchester United's No. 7 will be out for at least a month, in addition, Carrick also accumulated two strong cards in the game and was sent off with a red card.

In this game, the feeling to Jonk is that Manchester United seems to have become a team that the whole football world wants to block, Villarreal gives Jonk the impression of that kind of technical flow team, in fact, La Liga teams are also this style, however, this game can be said to be hand-to-hand combat, Jonk feels as if he is playing the Champions Cup final, Villarreal is clearly trying to get a point, the whole court retreats, and the scramble is very fierce, and the foot is also very fierce, almost causing a conflict.

After the game, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson slammed his opponent Villarreal for playing rough football.

"Three years ago, I praised Villarreal as a respectable team, they played a good game, they played beautifully, and now I want to take back my evaluation of this team, the table of our opponents in today's game, everyone saw it, they were very rough, I thought I saw a rugby game...... Carrick's red card? Maybe he should have been sent off, but Villarreal had to send off at least a dozen before Carrick was sent off, so we were much more civilized than our opponents. In my opinion, as long as it's a Manchester United game. The referee's enforcement is always special. ”

A reporter kindly 'reminded' Ferguson that a team can only play 11 players in a game, and it is impossible to send off a dozen players. Ferguson glared at him.

The old Scottish man's words were added to by the media and turned into a cannon shot at UEFA. The European Championship has been slammed and does not want to see Manchester United continue to dominate Europe in this season's European Champions League.

This caused quite a stir in European football. also drew him a fine of £20,000. Meantime. UEFA issued an official warning to him, hoping that he would think about his words and deeds and not say unfounded things.

It is impossible to say how many times this is a feud between Ferguson and Europe. In any case, the old Scottish man's temper has always been like this, and the Premier League teams and UEFA are not at odds, which is even more evident after Platini became UEFA president and wielded a big stick to limit the Premier League.

Of course, the main thing that made Ferguson angry was the injury of Cristiano Ronaldo, which was a huge loss for Manchester United's attack. Looking at the fixture schedule, Manchester United travel to London at the weekend to take on leaders Chelsea.

Cristiano Ronaldo's sudden injury and Rooney's suspension for a red card against Liverpool in their last league game have made United's attacking prowess look less reassuring when Jonker is still in poor form. It's not hard to see why Alex Ferguson would go berserk after the game against Villarreal, scolding his opponents and the soft-whistled manager.

The home draw was 0-0 at home to Villarreal, which made Jonk very depressed, and he also faced a lot of pressure and criticism.

Counting it up, Jonk has scored in the UEFA Super Cup. He also scored in England's European World Cup qualifiers and Andorra, but he has not scored in the league or Champions League. It is not an exaggeration to say that the European Championship Golden Boot is now in a goal drought.

Jonk didn't know what was going on, the more in the game, or rather. The more important the game, the more you want to score. He just felt like he couldn't score. It made him very angry.

At this time, the head coach of the Portuguese national team, Queiroz, called to comfort him. The head coach comforted his proud disciple and told him that this was a normal situation.

"A lot of players who did well in the summer continental tournaments tend to have a bad performance in the following season. Because they consumed so much energy in the European Championships, and advanced all their form and passion, that after the start of the new season, they fell into a slump. That's why you're right now, and you haven't had much rest for two seasons in a row, and now the physical and mental fatigue is here. It's for the body's overbilling, it's useless to be anxious, don't think about it, don't pay attention to those damn criticisms, take advantage of this time to take a good rest and adjust your state. ”

Queiroz has always been very concerned about Jonker, he knows that this is the first time Jonk has played in an intercontinental competition like the European Cup, and he has not experienced this so-called European Cup (World Cup) syndrome in the season after the continental competition, and he must be very anxious at this time, so he will call over in time to comfort his proud disciple, so that Jonk should not be in a hurry, he must slowly adapt, adjust his mentality, and his state will naturally get better and better.

Jonk was very moved by Queiroz being able to call this, as Queiroz said, for the intercontinental competition syndrome, Jonk is really the first time to encounter it, so he has no experience, he can only be in a hurry, the more anxious, the more it affects the state, and it can only be a vicious circle if it goes on like this, and now, after listening to Queiroz's words, although it can't be said that there is nothing left, but it is always a little useful, he is also an experienced professional player, and he knows how to adjust his state.

Hanging up the phone in Queiroz, Jonk remembered that the missed call was an unfamiliar number, and he hesitated for a moment to call back, after all, those who knew their mobile phone number were friends. A girl came to his mind, and Jonk nodded, becoming more and more sure that it was Melissa's prank, that the little girl was not as quiet as she seemed, and that she had a history of mischief harassment with unknown numbers.

I pressed the call back button, and after thinking about it for a few moments, someone over there answered, and Jonk didn't wait for the other side to speak, so he smiled and said, "Melissa, I know it's you, and you said that you are going to grow up, why are you still like a child, is there anything?" He tried to keep his tone as normal as he could, and Jonk hadn't been in contact with Melissa since that 'misunderstanding'. He didn't know how to deal with this beautiful little girl who had grown up, of course. If it weren't for that 'misunderstanding', there wouldn't be so many scruples.

There was silence on the other end of the line. Jonk smiled, the little girl was still pretending, "Why don't you speak?" ”

Ling Lusi felt her heart beating hard, as if it was about to jump out of her chest, her body trembled slightly, and the authentic Manchester English on the other end of the phone, although it was not Mandarin, but she felt so familiar. That person's voice, she never forgot jì.

"Is it Jonker?" Ms. Ling said she spoke Mandarin.

"Yes, huh? When did you learn Chinese? Jonk subconsciously replied, and heard a busy tone from the phone, and the phone was hung up.

Pressing the phone, Ling Lusi felt like she had lost her soul, and she was stuffy in the room for a while, her stomach rumbling reminding her that she hadn't eaten lunch yet. Now I am not in the mood to cook, so I walk to the school cafeteria.

Thinking of hearing that voice on the phone just now, Ling Lusi pinched her face, and she still felt dizzy. Will he still remember the real name of the Chinese female reporter who once interviewed Jonke?

Don't?

Just as she was still thinking nonsense, she passed by a newsstand on campus. Ling Lusi was attracted by the newspapers placed in the front row.

In England, there is a lot of sports coverage. Especially football coverage, so many newspapers. She saw a lot of front pages with that familiar name: Jonker!

I don't know what kind of psychology I had, Ling Lusi stopped and picked up the top newspaper, which was the largest selling newspaper in the whole of Britain - "The Sun".

The sports edition was flipped to the top, apparently as a promotional ploy to entice passing Cambridge students to buy it. The owner knows what sports are most popular in the UK and which ones young people enjoy the most.

The front page is almost composed of several large photographs, like a comic book, with text explanations, and the main characters are Jonker: the first one, before the game starts, Jonk is waving to the home fans, and you can see that Jonker's face is solemn. The accompanying text is: Jonker, can you break the goal drought?

In the second shot, Jonk is as angry as a person, and he can see gritting his teeth, and a stretcher can be seen being carried off the field in the background. Ling Lusi didn't know that it was Cristiano Ronaldo, who was injured and left the field, and the director was angry. Caption: In 39 minutes, the two sides almost fought.

In the third, Jonk was shouting something to the referee, who was holding a red card, which was a red card for Carrick. Caption: At 71 minutes, the game ended early, and Carrick was sent off.

In the fourth, Jonker walked to the sideline with his jersey on his shoulder, and the expression on his face could be seen to be hideous. Caption of the title image: Jonker continues the goal drought, Manchester United is dull.

Then, underneath these photographs, there is a small comment, and from this review in The Sun, it seems that Jonker's career has fallen into the greatest slump and is in big trouble, and nine out of ten sentences are critical.

This surprised Ling Lusi, she knew that Jonker was so good at the European Cup, and the newspapers were praising Jonk as the world's No. 1 striker, how does it sound now, it seems that Jonk may retire at any time.

Of course she doesn't know, this is the usual method of the media, how can she attract attention if she doesn't say things strictly as if the sky is falling? Moreover, she didn't know that there was actually an old grudge between the "Sun" she took and Jonck, and when Jonk was in a slump now, of course she had to make a mockery.

After buying all these newspapers and simply buying a hamburger and carbonated drink, Ling Lusi returned home and began to read these newspapers carefully, she didn't notice that she couldn't help but care about someone.

Newspaper reports are simply wonderful, such as the Daily Telegraph even saying that Ferguson has lost patience with Jonker, and Manchester United has a bit of a regret that they did not agree to Real Madrid's sky-high offer in the summer, asserting that the earliest winter transfer market, and by next summer at the latest, Jonk will be thrown into the arms of the Madrid giants.

Seeing this, Ling Lusi took a bite of the burger gently, she seemed to think that this was true, no wonder Jonk was looking for a language teacher...... (To be continued......)
