Chapter 317 Let go of grudges with a smile
In the post-match press conference, Van Gaal was unusually calm.
In the past, when he lost a game, Van Gaal would have a dark face, not wanting to say hello to anyone, and not wanting to shut up.
But tomorrow will be different.
Facing the reporters' questions, Van Gaal looked very calm and answered the questions one by one.
After answering, he formally faced his own question for the first time.
"He didn't want to judge that game anymore, let's leave everything to time.
"He wanted to talk about Xia, about the talented star.
"No, he thinks Xia is no longer just a talented player, he is a talented star.
"No big star!
"A playmaker for a Premier League championship team,
"A young midfield maestro who led his team to the Champions League semi-finals,
"Xia deserves to be called a star.
"Looking back on his career, he has missed many things.
"But whether he missed it or not, it was definitely his biggest mistake.
"He admitted it.
"Two seasons ago, he and Xia had a long chat on the plane.
"to be honest,
“At that time he didn’t think much of a young man who was showing off in the Championship.
“He doesn’t think he’s going to be very talented, and he doesn’t think he can make it in the Premier League.
"I don't think Manchester United has the value of keeping him.
"If he is loaned out and developed slowly, Keke will be very willing to accept his transfer.
"But Fuxia refused.
"At the time he felt he was a bit arrogant.
"What qualifications does a Championship-level player have to negotiate terms with him?
"What, do I really want to be in the Manchester United first team?
"If you want to stay in Dongfang, then go out on loan. You can't even stay in the team because there is no place for me.
“If you don’t want to stay here, you can leave at any time!
"With just one word, Manchester United lost a general. He is very sorry, very sorry.
“I didn’t expect that in just one season, he would become a top-notch player in the Premier League.
"During the season he was thinking that if he had stayed at Dongxia, maybe he could have enriched his bench depth.
"Unexpectedly, he thought too little.
"It took another season for xia to completely break out of its cocoon and transform into a butterfly.
"He has become a super star who is famous all over Europe and the winner of the European Golden Boy Award.
"His talent is visible to the naked eye. He even thinks he understands football better than Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.
"Because he has more comprehensive skills and a deeper understanding of football than the two unrivaled players.
"Tomorrow, xia will take Leicester City's second team and defeat them.
"That's wrong. It turns out he accepted it.
"Xia, he lost the contest with me.
"I'm not a genius, or he's mistaken."
When Van Gaal said those words, his eyes kept staring in front of him.
In fact, he did not look at the reporter and could not see the red wall in front of him.
It seems that in the red wall, he saw every bit of his past two seasons.
When he said the first two sentences, Van Gaal withdrew his eyes and looked to one side.
At this time, Xia Xing was beside Ranieri.
Xia Xing also looked at Van Gaal sincerely, with a calm expression.
There is no dissatisfaction or complaint about being abandoned.
No, what is there to be dissatisfied and resentful about?
He's doing well at Leicester City.
If he hadn't come there, he wouldn't have had the chance to take the lead.
It's impossible to reach that point and grow so quickly.
If he had stayed at Manchester United to watch the water cooler, he would never have reached that level.
Looking back now, I should be grateful to Van Gaal.
Seeing Fan Gaal's sincere eyes, Xia Xing stood up and came to Fan Gaal's side.
Without saying anything, he shook his legs vigorously and smiled slightly.
That's all.
Both of them knew that they would not meet on the wrong leg in the Eastern Season.
The unhappiness of the past has gone with the wind.
In international football, how can there be so many real grievances?
It’s just a different philosophy, it’s just a different philosophy of football.
Let everything go with the wind.
With that one hand, the grudges are gone with a smile.
That night passed, and news about Van Gaal's imminent departure was flying everywhere.
That has nothing to do with Leicester City.
They only care about one thing, which is the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals in the middle of the Eastern Weekend.
Is it really too much pressure to play against Atletico Madrid?
The feeling of oppression felt like facing a pack of wolves, no less than that of Real Madrid and Barcelona who had played against each other before.
But in the Spanish Super League, Atletico Madrid deserves all respect for competing against the two stars for the championship.
Yes, they wish us to win the league title, but don’t give us a ticket to the Champions League final!
In May and April, Leicester City visited the Metropolitan Stadium to challenge the sheet army that was already ready to go.
That game was at Atletico Madrid's home court, and they started with a fierce attack.
And the subsequent attacks were higher and higher!
Leicester City also played with all their main players, but otherwise they were extremely struggling!
That kind of sharp counterattack and life-threatening mistakes are really not easy to make mistakes.
In that game at Atletico Madrid's home court, the referee's whistle was obviously soft.
There were several misconfrontations at the beginning, and Leicester City players were overwhelmed, but the referee did not call the card. At most, he only called a foul.
Ranieri on the sidelines even wondered if the guy had forgotten to take the red and yellow cards?
In the 21st minute of the game, what Ranieri was most worried about finally appeared on the court.
In an Atletico Madrid corner kick tactic, Huth competed for a header and was knocked to the ground by Godin who was trying to grab a header!
Godin's move was a bit big, but the referee didn't blow the whistle!
It just gave Leicester City a goal kick.
But Hut couldn't stand up anymore.
The team doctor helped Huter to the east court and was diagnosed with a strained calf muscle.
Although it is not particularly serious, it still takes a week to recover.
At least that game can't be played anymore.
Ranieri hurriedly sent Koncheski on as a substitute, leaving a hole in the defense for Dong.
Can you wait five minutes? Leicester City suffered another heavy blow.
During a counterattack, Van Persie was tackled to the ground by the wrong center defender Jimenez!
The referee finally gave the card that time - it was just a yellow card!
All the Leicester City players at the stadium wanted to curse!
Even the good-tempered Ranieri on the sidelines protested again and again!
The fourth official tried his best to comfort him.
In fact, he also feels that there is something wrong with tomorrow's whistle, but as a member of the referee team, he must protect his own people.
Van Persie played in the east court, and Ranieri simply changed to Albrighton.
The team's formation changed to 4-5-1.
The team has now lost two substitutions, and it will definitely be difficult to play in the east half.
In that case, you must consider taking the lead in solid defense.
That substitution brought trouble to Leicester City.
Although center Van Persie is missing, it does have a qualitative impact.
Even if Van Persie doesn't score many goals, his physical strength and speed are not as good as before, but if he is placed in the penalty area with his wrong leg, he will not be a huge threat.
After all, he was one of the best forwards in the world two seasons ago. If he had to stand in the penalty area, it would be a huge psychological pressure for the defensive players.
Now that Van Persie is in the east court, Vardy is alone and has lost his support point.
Atletico Madrid's offensive pressure was even greater.
Especially the two full-backs, who almost started to play the role of wingers.
It wasn't until half-time injury time that Atletico Madrid finally had an excellent opportunity...
