When Vardy stood on the sidelines, preparing to come on as a substitute, Ratcliffe, the Manchester United boss in the chairman's stand, had a frosty face.
Especially when he heard that many Manchester United fans were applauding Vardy, this made him even more angry.
The applause was like a slap in the face, hitting him hard on the face, causing a burning sting.
Manchester United fans are humiliating him in this way and telling the world that Vardy is right not to want to join Manchester United.
And as evidence, at this moment, the score on the scoreboard at Old Trafford is zero to six.
Manchester United has conceded six goals.
What is even more desperate is that this team has no hope of reversing the situation so far.
Instead, it was Leeds United who launched the offensive again and again.
Looking at Haaland again, he walked off the field reluctantly and coquettishly, feeling like he was complaining to the head coach.
He feels that he can still score more goals, but head coach Pochettino prefers that he take a good rest.
This is more like a shame for Manchester United.
And replacing Vardy at this moment is definitely a slap in the face to Ratcliffe.
It is because of Vardy that he is ridiculed and ridiculed by all Manchester United fans and the world.
There are 20 minutes left, and no one knows what will happen in the remaining 20 minutes of the game.
"Jazz, why do you think we have suffered such big losses one after another this season?" Ratcliffe asked Ferguson, obviously disappointed with the current situation.
After hearing this, Ferguson looked deeply at Ratcliffe, obviously wondering, does the new Manchester United boss want to hear the truth? Or does he want to hear some comforting words?
After hesitating for three seconds, Ferguson finally spoke.
"Actually, whether it is against Tottenham or today against Leeds United, such a disastrous defeat is very accidental. It is usually not considered and it is difficult to evaluate, especially tonight, when the first goal was conceded.
After that, we quickly conceded the second goal, causing our entire situation to lose control, which led to the disastrous defeat."
Ferguson didn't tell the truth in the end.
"Similar to this disastrous defeat, in fact, many teams have happened, including Real Madrid's 0-5 defeat to Barcelona that year, including Barcelona's 0-5 defeat to Real Madrid several times, as well as Roma and Inter Milan, and this is especially true for Premier League teams.
Well, who hasn’t been burdened with a few tragedies?”
At the end of the sentence, Ferguson pretended to laugh lightly.
Ratcliffe's face looked much better, and he even showed a smile.
This made Ferguson very sure that he still wanted to hear some words of psychological comfort.
All bosses in the world are the same, they like to hear good things.
"A miserable defeat is a miserable defeat. Do you think there is anything our team needs to strengthen during the winter break?" Ratcliffe asked.
Ferguson was obviously stunned for a moment, and reminded with a wry smile, "UEFA's penalty is to ban us for two transfer periods."
That is, summer transfers and winter transfers. Manchester United is still in the penalty period of banning transfers.
Ratcliffe was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and laughed at himself: "Look at my memory, I'm old."
But in fact, no one pointed out his mistake just now.
This is the most embarrassing thing.
"Actually, you have invested a lot in Manchester United this past summer. The team's performance is not ideal, and it does need to strengthen its recruitment. I think we can consider bringing in strong points in the frontcourt, or some immediate reinforcements.
"
"Do you think Rodrigo can't do it?" Ratcliffe's face darkened and he asked.
"No, no, no, Rodrigo is very good, but he alone is definitely not enough. You can see that his condition today is not particularly good. It has something to do with his continuous fighting in recent times." Ferguson hurriedly explained.
He swore in his heart that if I sit with this guy and watch football again, I would be a fool!
So tired!
You have to be careful what you say.
"Someone recommended Ronaldo from Juventus to me," Ratcliffe said.
Ferguson almost didn't say a word, but he held it back in the end.
He guessed that Mendes must be among the recommended people.
What Manchester United needs most now is not just a Ronaldo.
But Ferguson said nothing and nodded, "He is still one of the best players in the world."
Ratcliffe nodded, obviously knowing what he was thinking.
"If I remember correctly, the biggest defeat in the history of our club should be 0-8, to our city rival Manchester City, right?" Ratcliffe asked again.
Ferguson's face suddenly froze.
Damn it, if you don’t feel well, why do you have to stab your employer in the chest?
That is the biggest stain in my life!
It's all that damn Gao Shen's fault!
But now, you are more hateful than Gao Shen!
Can exposing other people's scars really make you happier?
"Yes, just a few years ago." Someone next to him answered for Ferguson.
Ratcliff looked at Ferguson again, then nodded slightly, "It can't be worse than this score, right?"
Ferguson on the side almost vomited when he heard a mouthful of old blood.
This is too much!
You were tortured yourself, so you pulled me out and whipped me into a stone?
Don't you think this is outrageous?
You are over sixty and I am over seventy. Do you have to be so cruel?
But at this moment, something suddenly happened on the court.
…
When Leeds United got the ball in midfield, Enzo Fernandez received a cross pass from Alphonso Davies on the left, suddenly pushed the ball forward, and passed it to Valverde at the top of the penalty area.
Go forward.
Valverde knocked back knowingly and completed a hit-the-wall coordination.
Enzo Fernandez stopped the ball and broke into the penalty area. Under Matic's entanglement, he directly faced Lindelof and passed the ball to Maguire's right side.
At this time, Vardy pushed the ball forward slightly, just avoiding Maguire, and quickly took out a shot with his right foot.
The ball was like a cannonball and went straight into the lower right corner of Manchester United's goal.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
!
!
"
"Vardy!"
"Just 7 minutes after coming on as a substitute, Vardy scored another victory for Leeds United."
"Seven to zero!"
"Oh my God, Leeds United are really going to kill everyone tonight."
"This is already the second-largest defeat in Manchester United's history."
"The biggest defeat in Manchester United's history was when Manchester City beat Manchester United 8-0, and the head coaches at the time were Gao Shen and Ferguson. Could it be said that we are going to witness a miracle again tonight?"
…
Less than three minutes had passed since Vardy's goal, and Leeds United once again intercepted the ball in midfield.
Camavinga, who had just replaced Enzo Fernandez, successfully intercepted Lingard in midfield.
The Manchester United midfielder fell to the ground after a physical collision with Camavinga, signaling a foul to the Leeds United midfielder, but the referee Anthony Taylor did not blow the whistle.
After Camavinga stole the ball, he dribbled the ball forward and quickly handed it to Valverde.
Valverde took the ball forward and then sent a long pass directly behind the defense.
I saw Vardy quickly get behind the Manchester United defense and catch up with Valverde's long pass. On the right side of the penalty spot, facing the attacking De Gea, he calmly pushed the ball and once again passed the ball.
Sent into Manchester United's goal.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
!
!”
"In only 10 minutes of the first half, Vardy scored twice!"
"Eight to zero!"
"Manchester United is really in ruins!"
"We can clearly see that the Manchester United players have basically completely lost their confidence whether they are holding the ball or counterattacking."
"This is a very desperate emotion, and it is also a very bad phenomenon. Manchester United has completely lost its confidence and has completely lost its fighting spirit."
"Leeds United performed really well tonight."
"Manchester United suffered another humiliating score at home."
"Eight to zero, this has tied the record for the largest loss in Manchester United's history."
"The Manchester United fans at the scene had begun to leave early, and the remaining fans kept booing."
"Obviously, they are all very dissatisfied with the outcome."
…
Gao Shen was sitting in the chairman's stand, turning his head from time to time to glance at Ratcliffe who was not far away.
The latter was already restless.
I guess if he hadn't been targeted by Gao Shen, he would have left the scene early.
And Gao Shen was always ready. If Ratcliffe wanted to leave the field early, he would walk over and intercept him.
No matter what, I have to get close to this rich man from Manchester United.
Ratcliffe obviously noticed Gao Shen, and kept sitting there, trying to look calm, as if he didn't care about the outcome of the game.
Inside the stadium, Pochettino was making his third substitution, and Rodrigo was about to replace Sancho.
After the substitutions, the pace of the game gradually slowed down.
Leeds United's players who came on the bench were very active and wanted to make a difference.
When the game progressed to the 87th minute, Rashford retreated from the front and received a cross pass from Alphonso Davis. When he got the ball, he saw Camavinga quickly dipping into the left side of the penalty area.
, he immediately made an overhead pass without waiting for the defensive player to approach, and passed it to the left side of the penalty area.
The French teenager broke into the penalty area at high speed, met Rashford's pass, and volleyed with his left foot.
As a left-footed player, Camavinga's pass was smooth and landed directly at the back of the goal.
Rodrigo, who had just come on as a substitute, suddenly stepped in, got ahead of Maguire, pushed the ball lightly, and sent the football into the right side of the goal, which was just around the corner.
Goalkeeper De Gea had nothing to do with this close-range shot.
It was at this moment that everyone in the audience, even many Manchester United fans who had already stood up to leave, all stood there with incredulous expressions.
Nine to zero!
God!
Manchester United actually suffered the biggest defeat in the club's history at their home stadium.
And they still lost to their mortal rivals Leeds United in the Rose Derby!
This made everyone in the audience feel incredible.
Even Gao Shen, who was optimistic in the first half, was surprised by the trend in the second half.
He thought he had a chance to create a big score, but he never expected that it would break this historical record!
This is simply unbelievable.
Who would have thought that Manchester United would lose to this point?
