Chapter 251 Understand...

"The 2009 European Champions Cup champion was born from this moment - Manchester United! The overlord from the Premier League has become the last club! Congratulations to Manchester United, congratulations to Sir Alex Ferguson! I feel sorry for Barcelona and Guardiola, but you are also today Heroes of the night, because you have dedicated a wonderful game to fans all over the world!"

Before the referee Busacca blew the final whistle, the Manchester United fans couldn't hold back the joy in their hearts. They leaned forward desperately, waving their arms, and waved the Manchester United team flag The national flag of England was raised high, and the Manchester United team anthem also resounded through the sky with "God Save the Queen".

With a long whistle, the players on the field stopped running, and the red and yellow confetti symbolizing the Manchester United club were thrown down ahead of time, celebrating the birth of another European champion.

Carl was finally able to relax his highly tense nerves like countless fans who were devoted to Manchester United, and smiled happily.

The 90 minutes of the game were dangerous, and Manchester United, who won Barcelona 2:1, almost missed the championship.

Barcelona, ​​an unprecedentedly strong midfielder, had the advantage in possession of the ball from the very beginning of the game. In the 10th minute, Eto'o's volley almost killed Manchester United. It is no exaggeration, because if Eto'o's shot is scored, today may become a nightmare for Manchester United-Chelsea's experience has already told the world that the only way to prevent Barcelona from winning is to score first, because there are almost no The team can turn defeat into victory when Barcelona is ahead.

Thank goodness the goal post blocked Eto'o's shot, and then Ferguson adjusted the team's tactics in time, allowing Manchester United to slowly fill in their own loopholes, and the battle began to favor the Red Devils: Manchester United The strength of the midfielder was lost to Barcelona, ​​but Ferguson's decision to pull Giggs back to assist Carrick gave Manchester United a chance to steal a chicken. Remember the long pass, indirectly assisted Rooney's goal, giving Manchester United the lead in the game.

Ferguson's second coup came in the 55th minute of the second half. After Barcelona relied on Messi's header to equalize the score-the Red Devils coach "bravely" learned Chelsea's tactics in the semi-finals and asked Rooney to retreat to the midfield , leaving only one Ronaldo on the front line, replaced Tevez, and transferred Anderson to the left to deal with Messi.

On the surface, Anderson is defending Messi. In fact, his function is to unite the midfielders behind him and use zone defense to oppress Barcelona's passing line, especially for Barcelona's midfield brains Xavi and Iniesta. When these two get the ball, Anderson and Tevez will go up and grab it. In this way, the first two of the trio of Harvey, Iniesta and Messi are restricted, and they can only rely on Messi to find opportunities. Without the best helper, Messi's lethality will be much smaller.

The reason why Ferguson is said to be "brave" to learn Chelsea's tactics is because it is not a glorious thing to learn from the biggest competitor in the same league. Ruyff kept preaching before the game that "Barcelona is a great team, only a greater team can beat it" "The Champions League final will be a great game, there will never be a semi-final with Chelsea the ugly tactics we used to do."

In the current European football, Chelsea's style of play is the most restrained tactic against Barcelona that Manchester United can learn. The 1860 season was stable, so I couldn’t learn), Cruyff’s original intention of so much touting Manchester United before the game was to “excite” Ferguson to attack and attack Barcelona in the game. If Manchester United puts on a 1860 formation in the game However, no matter how tight the defense of the Red Devils, whose midfield strength is not enough, they will easily fall into Barcelona's trap, and the rhythm is completely controlled by the opponent.

Fortunately, Ferguson was not trapped by Cruyff's "greatness". He chose to win, even if the process was unscrupulous.

Finally contained Barcelona in the second half, and Manchester United, who dragged the tie to the last second, received God's favor at the end of the game-Cristiano Ronaldo received "Ginger Head" Scotch in the 89th minute. Ernes assisted and contributed a lore to seal the victory, saving Manchester United, Ferguson, and all the Red Devils fans.

Perhaps after today, many fans will criticize Manchester United's victory for not being beautiful enough.

But who cares about the bark of the negative dog?

Football is always about winning.

……

Spanish King Juan Carlos, Prime Minister Zapatero, Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi, UEFA President Platini, Barcelona President Laporta and other European dignitaries all appeared at the Olympic Stadium in Rome tonight. The winner was decided, and they all stood up, shook hands and talked, and congratulated Prince William, the representative of England.

Prince William was surrounded by a group of middle-aged men.

Carl, on the other hand, had already left this powerful circle and walked to the other side of the VIP stand.

Italian coaches such as Capello and Lippi, as well as the head coaches of Serie A teams such as the Milan duo, Roma, and Lazio, all sit in this area.

Karl saw Mourinho at a glance - mainly because the surrounding area was too "vacuum" and none of the people sitting in front, back, left, and left seemed to have a friendly relationship with him, and everyone else was whispering to their friends about the state of the game Next, "Madman" monopolizes a few seats by himself, which fully shows how bad his popularity in Italy is.

"You just came to Serie A for a season, and you offended all your colleagues again?" Carl walked over frankly under the gaze of many people around him, and sat next to Mourinho with a narrow smile on his face: " The most special one is going to be the loneliest one."

"I like to be alone. Being alone means that I have stood on the highest peak in the world." Facing the world with the strongest posture and never showing weakness to others, this is Mourinho.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but your mouth is still so obvious." Carl looked at his friend: "When will your mouth become more pleasing?"

"Probably never." Mourinho said solemnly: "Without the news produced by my mouth, many Italian journalists would have no food."

"You left the Premier League and the British media didn't starve."

"That's because they welcomed you again." Mourinho smiled maliciously: "Look at what I found in the British newspaper: ""Blonde Control" Auston's new love - Blonde Hall Tebby!" You know, a reporter from The Sun named Jeb believes that sooner or later you'll have 11 blonds in the starting XI for a certain game."

"...I'm not a blonde, Jose, trust me."

Mourinho glanced at Card: "The expression is perfect, the tone is perfect, but I don't believe it."

"Gary Jeb?" Carl was a little annoyed and gnashed his teeth: "I really want to kill him."

Mourinho "seriously" suggested at this time: "I advise you not to go to him."

"why?"

"Because he unabashedly expressed his... crazy love for you on his private blog." Mourinho frowned: "Idiot fan? It seems to be called that on the Internet. I bet , if you appear in front of him and say you want to chop him, maybe he will put the knife into your hand, take off your shirt, raise your head and ask you to stab deeper and harder..."

Carl shivered: "Can I make a request to you?"

"what?"

"Shut up."

"Well." Mourinho thought about it seriously, and finally replied, "No."

"..."

……

Perhaps because of the presence of many European heavyweight politicians, the organizers of this UEFA Champions League final will do a lot of preparations. They held a grand awards ceremony for Manchester United at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

The Union Jack and Manchester United flag were flying all over the Olympic Stadium, and the singing of the fans never stopped.

The atmosphere of the stadium reached its peak at the moment when the UEFA president handed the Big Ears Cup to Manchester United captain Ferdinand. Red and yellow confetti floated in the sky. Manchester United players cheered and shouted, and the fans gave them enthusiasm in the stands applause and whistles.

The Manchester United players who won the Champions League trophy were so happy and excited. Not only did they all scramble to kiss the big ear cup and take photos to commemorate it, they even lifted Ferguson and the trophy together and walked around the podium For a whole week - if they were not worried that the coach's heart would be overwhelmed, they would even want to throw people into the sky.

And because of debt management, the Glazer family, which has always been stingy, was generous this time. After the game, they contacted the five-star hotel where they lived for the past two days and booked the banquet hall on the first floor of the hotel. , so that the flight has been scheduled for tomorrow afternoon at Manchester United to celebrate.

This is a very crazy celebration banquet. Everyone, whether it is a coach, a player, or a staff member, put aside their modesty and shackles of identity, just find someone to touch with a glass of wine, and then drink And do.

The big ear cup was placed in the center of the banquet hall and placed on a table. Every minute and every second, there were people around it. Everyone had to stand by it for a solo photo or a friend. Go take a group photo.

The Manchester United team's celebration was exceptionally long and wanton.

Because all of them have tasted the pain and failure when they missed the Champions League final last year, so the sense of happiness regained at this time is so strong, so strong that it makes people dizzy.

Almost everyone was drunk.

Even Ferguson indulged himself and drank an extra glass of wine, and then patted the shoulders of the guests invited by him and laughed: "Carl, you are a great prophet! I will take the most expensive bottle of wine in my collection Give it to you hahahaha!"

"Give me two bottles?" Carl, who was also a little drunk with the drinker, said deliberately.

Although Ferguson was drunk, his mind was still not confused: "No way! Only one bottle hahahaha!"

Carl pouted at the stingy Red Devils coach, and turned to chat with other people.

The British love to drink, and people who have lived in the UK for a long time will inevitably develop this habit. Many people in the Manchester United team have a lot of alcohol. Constantly, Karl knew many people, and many people asked him to clink glasses. Although he took a small sip every time, after a few glasses of vodka, he quickly became drunk.

After touching the room card in his pocket, Carl walked to the elevator, ready to go back to his room to sleep.

His steps are slow, but straight and steady, and his body is not twisted like a drunk man. It is difficult for outsiders to see that he is drunk at the moment, but those who are familiar with him can see it , he was indeed drunk.

After entering the elevator, Carl slowly pressed the floor number again, and at the last second when the elevator door closed, a figure flashed in from the entrance.

"Shall I take you back to your room?" A familiar voice said.

Carl turned his head and took a look. Seeing that it was Ronaldo, he narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded.

Ronaldo moved a little closer to him.

Carl put the normal weight of his body on the opponent, yawned, and closed his eyes in relief.

……

Late at night, in a quiet and dark hotel room.

The lights were not turned on, but the moonlight coming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows made the room bright enough.

On the bed lay a sleeping person, neatly dressed, breathing steadily.

There was also a person sitting on the sofa opposite the bed, with eyes open and a tangled expression.

Finally, the person on the sofa finished thinking, he stood up, walked to the window gently, first drew all the first layer of tulle curtains, and then closed more than half of the second layer of thick cloth curtains.

The moonlight illuminates the face of the man, Cristiano Ronaldo, at the last second before being covered.

The room suddenly became dark, but fortunately it was not completely dark. After the eyes got used to it, they could still see a lot of things clearly.

"I have to try." Standing in front of the bed, Ronaldo told himself: "Photos can't explain anything. If I don't try, how will I know if I am?"

Then he took a step forward, lowered his head, and pressed it precisely on the lips of the person on the bed.

His heart started pounding.

"Okay, I see." He finally resigned.

……

Let's play! - Ronaldo. [With a selfie on the beach.

This text message made Carl feel very toothache.

Although this photo that can clearly see the hip line is a bonus, it really doesn't matter if you wear swimming trunks like this on a public beach?

It's not a private beach, so don't accidentally expose it, okay? — Carl.

Half a minute later, the phone beeped.

obey! :-D - Ronaldo. [A photo of wearing swimming trunks is attached. Since buying a new mobile phone half a month ago, Ronaldo has become a selfie maniac.

And use the finished product to bombard Carl's mobile phone [-]/[-].

Especially when Carl leads the team to play games in other countries, Ronaldo will not only send photos of his trips and meals, but also ask Carl to take photos of his life for sharing.

Although Carl always put on a forced reluctance on the surface, he actually enjoyed it quite a bit.

But he won't let Ronaldo see it.

"Boss, it's time to play." The England players around him reminded him.

Carl turned off his phone, nodded at the other party with a smile, and walked out of the player channel first.

Wembley Stadium erupted into thunderous applause.

Carl waved his hand to the surrounding stands.

The applause grew louder.

Nine and 10 minutes later, the England team slaughtered the Andorra team from afar with a score of 7:0.

The last World Cup qualifier in June is also over.

The Three Lions scored a total of 12 goals in their two World Cup qualifiers in June.

The two victories brought the British people's support for the national team to another peak. All the tickets for the Three Lions' matches this year have been sold out in advance, and even the sales of national flags and national team jerseys are booming.

Not to mention how much the national team players are currently loved by the public.

Those English players who have the ability to be selected but have not yet been recruited by the national team are envious. Because the 0809-[-] season is over, they temporarily lost the opportunity to impress Carl with a good performance in the league, so they turned to the media to make a big story This article expresses his admiration for Karl and his desire to be loyal to the country, hoping to win the favor of the national team coach.

Lewis Holtby, who made his England debut against Andorra, ended up providing an assist and indirectly orchestrating another.

Holtby has been very excited since he played in the second half. After the game, he took off his jersey and threw it to the England fans in the stands. The flagpole is placed horizontally in front of the body like a guitar, making a posture of playing...

This liveliness reminded Karl of Sven Bender.

Another player who was more excited after the Andorra game was Wayne Rooney.

Owen performed a hat-trick in the national team game a few months ago. After a long time, Rooney held back his energy for a long time, and finally broke out in this game and also wore a hat.

In addition, the hair transplant surgery he had in London not long ago was very successful. Rooney can be said to be both proud of his life on the field. After the game, the corners of his mouth were upturned for a long time.

Rooney was also running around the dressing room, "modestly" asking people how his hair transplant was going.

Naturally, everyone agrees.

Irving was determined to make the relationship between his teammates more harmonious, and he spared no effort to praise: "In those team photos you took before the hair transplant, the face looked like a 12-year-old child, but the hair looked like he was almost 60 years old. Now the hair looks thicker. It's just right, like 18 years old!"

Rooney grinned from ear to ear.

Carl couldn't stand listening anymore, he resisted the urge to twitch the corner of his mouth and fled from Owen's side.

Even with a mosaic on top of his head, Rooney's face doesn't look like a 12-year-old kid...

But people are hard to tear down.

Carl will not point out Owen's beautiful lie.
