spn Li Yu is the new European Golden Ball player. In the name of celebrating Li Yu's award, club owner Kelese held a banquet. Eric Cantona and Bobby Charlton were invited to attend the banquet.
For Li Yu personally, the banquet was also a good opportunity to get to know these football legends. Cantona is definitely an extremely generous Frenchman and gave Li Yu a bear hug when he came up.
It's like being a friend for many years.
"Be careful, let's have a drink first!" As soon as he said the first sentence, he had already finished a glass of wine.
Li Yu could only drink the champagne in her glass.
"Why are you drinking this? Come on, let's drink this!" Cantona noticed that Li Yu was drinking champagne and immediately brought whiskey from the waiter.[
"One more!" Cantona saw that he had a good drink capacity, so he drank it all in one gulp and motioned to Li Yu to do the same quickly.
Just as Li Yu was about to drink it, he heard Ferguson's voice.
"Eric! Do you want to get the protagonist of our banquet drunk?" Ferguson appeared in front of the two of them in time, "But? You still have to drink this glass of wine!"
Li Yu thought the boss was coming to the rescue! Who would have thought that the old man was gasping for air and still had to drink wine!
Li Yu raised his neck and drank the wine happily.
Before he even spoke, he had already had two drinks. If this continues, the banquet has not yet reached its climax, and today he, the protagonist, will probably have to drink first and lie down.
Li Yu didn't know whether the wine was good or not, but it was definitely an embarrassing thing.
However, Cantona had no intention of drinking anymore, and said: "You are a good boy, but if you don't like it, the old man has a good taste, just like he did when he brought me in!"
Just now, Li Yu felt that the French were very generous and had the arrogance of Northeastern Chinese people. Now it seems that no matter when, the king of Old Trafford is still so confident. If it sounds good, it is confident, but if it sounds bad, it means being poor.
!
What could Li Yu say, "Thank you!"
"Haha, L, I'm sorry. You don't have to be embarrassed to talk to this guy! Right? Eric!" Ferguson could feel it today. He was in a good mood. He didn't even talk about drinking or anything, but instead made a joke.
"The boss is right. If you want to conquer this place, you must have this confidence and pride. Keep working hard, kid!" Although Cantona has left the club for many years, he still maintains the name Ferguson he used when he was in the team. The boss taught
It's very smooth, and it seems that the relationship between the two has always been good.
Li Yu felt Cantona's love and care. This generous Frenchman was indeed the former king of Manchester United and took great care of his younger children.
"I will work hard and invite you to my banquet again next year!"
"Is this right?"
"You two are ignoring me, an old man?" Ferguson suddenly interrupted, speaking sourly.
It was the first time that Li Yu heard Ferguson speak in such a tone. He was obviously a little slow to react, but Cantona immediately took over the words, "Boss, you still have a drink today! He is the protagonist today!"
"
"Haha, you French guy, you are still the same!" Ferguson signaled Li Yu to follow him quickly. He wanted to introduce another famous Manchester United senior, Bobby Charlton, to Li Yu.
Li Yu wanted to say something more, but was pulled away by Ferguson, but Cantona didn't seem to mind such a move at all. He nodded to Li Yu, then turned around and walked towards the waiter again.[
"How did you find him!" Ferguson asked Li Yu as he walked away.
"He? Is there something wrong, boss?"
"If I hadn't appeared, there would have been only one ending. If you drank it down, nothing would have happened to him!"
"Ah, he is an alcoholic now?" Li Yu felt strange that the former king of Manchester United has now become an alcoholic.
"Of course not, he just likes to get the younger ones down. You think he cares about you, but then you have to drink one cup after another, silly boy!"
"Thank you, boss! If I have to stop drinking in the future, I will come to you first!" Li Yu also knew that today was a taboo, so he dared to see a joke like this. On other occasions, given him some courage, he would not dare to say this.
.
"Haha, you brat!"
As expected, Ferguson was not annoyed. He smiled and cursed and led Li Yu to an old man.
As the founder of the Manchester United dynasty, the old man can still be seen in the stands of Old Trafford. Li Yu has long wanted to meet the legendary Manchester United star.
Sir Bobby Charlton was born in Ashington on October 11, 1937. After joining Manchester United at the age of 17, he remained loyal to Old Trafford until his retirement in 1973. During this period, he played for Manchester United in February 1958.
He suffered a Munich air crash in May, but survived and led the team to rise again. In the 1960s, when he played with Denis Law and George Best, Manchester United won the first peak period in history. He helped
The team won the league championship three times, the FA Cup once and the European Championship. He played a total of 750 games for Manchester United and scored 247 goals.
Charlton looked at the young man in front of him and sighed in his heart, how good it is to be young!
"Young man, congratulations!" Sir Charlton said, stretching out his hand and shaking it with Li Yu.
"Thank you, can you sign your autograph for me?" Li Yu's words shocked Ferguson so much that the old man almost dropped the wine glass in his hand. Shameful guy, when can you not ask for an autograph, now?
However, Charlton happily agreed and couldn't help praising Li Yu in his heart. Yes, he knows how to respect the old man of Manchester United and respect the tradition.
Li Yu definitely did this from the bottom of his heart. Who knew that he had unknowingly flattered her in the most comfortable way.
But soon it was Charlton's turn to be a little embarrassed. If he wanted to sign, you should give him a pen. Who would bring a pen with him to a banquet?
Li Yu also realized this problem and started to "touch" his pockets to see if there was any pen anywhere.
While still there, Li Yu's quick eyesight and quick hands discovered that there was a pen on the waiter's chest, so he called the waiter to bring him a coaster and asked Charlton to sign his name on it.
By the time he finished signing, Ferguson had already gone to chat with someone else. He couldn't afford to embarrass this person!
I originally wanted to introduce it, but it seemed like I had to go through the back door to get an autograph!
The climax of the banquet was when little Therese presented the club award to Li Yu.
The boss of Manchester United was also very generous this time and gave Li Yu the latest limited edition Ferrari sports car.[
Amid the applause of the guests in the audience, Li Yu walked up to the stage and took the car keys.
The next day, Li Yu still has half a day off. In the afternoon, he will return to the Carrington base to concentrate on training in preparation for the upcoming League Cup quarter-finals.
Manchester United will face Tottenham at home.
Ferguson didn't want to go back to the second round and took advantage of the home court to defeat Tottenham in one game and save some energy for the upcoming Devil's schedule.
The highlight of the 2009\10 English League Cup quarter-finals was held at Old Trafford. Manchester United defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 at home, with Gibson scoring twice.
Li Yu did not score a goal in this campaign, but his performance throughout the game was pretty good. It was he who attracted Tottenham's defensive attention to the greatest extent and created a scoring opportunity for Gibson who came in from behind.
However, after the game, the media only gave Li Yu 6 points, which was considered a passing grade.
Ferguson felt that the media was a little too harsh on Li Yu. In his opinion, it was Li Yu's threat that gave other players enough opportunities.
The head coach's defense could not silence the media's voice. When there was no goal scored in a game, the media pointed the finger at Li Yu.
The remarks that gold plating is retrograde have been published in the newspapers.
"Shit!" Li Yu really wants to grab the reporter who wrote this article and slap him in the face. Making news is not like this. I must shut you up in the next game.
Li Yu had no other good way to live up to his habit of talking. If he was more serious with these reporters, he would only suffer the loss. The only way was to use goals to silence these increasingly harsh reporters.
The 15th round of the league was the best time for Li Yu to turn around.
Moreover, the opponent West Ham United is not a strong team, and all the media are also paying attention to Manchester United's next away trip. If Li Yu does not have any outstanding performance, the media will not be stingy with their pen and ink.
In fact, Li Yu didn't give these reporters any chance during the game that day.
This game is the 109th league match between the two clubs. Previously, Manchester United had the advantage with 48 wins, 23 draws and 37 losses. In the past 3 meetings between the two sides, the Red Devils have maintained a complete victory and only conceded 1 goal. However, in the last 3 times,
They have lost two games as a guest at Upton Park. In this campaign, Carlton Cole and Behrami were both absent due to injuries. For Manchester United, Vidic, Evans, O'Shea, Ferdinand and Edwin van der Sar
The exemption card was also issued, so Gary Neville was moved to the center to guard the defense with Brown, and Fletcher was moved to the right back position to fill the vacancy. Rooney, who got a rest in the League Cup in the middle of the week, returned to the starting lineup and Li Yu
Owen was on the bench as Manchester United's attacking arrow in this game. At the same time, this game was also the 1,300th official game played by Ferguson under the leadership of Manchester United.
Visiting Upton Park to face Manchester United, relying on one goal each from Scholes, Gibson, Li Yu and Rooney, they swept West Ham United 4-0, reaching 34 points and continuing to chase the "leader" Chelsea. Although veteran Giggs won this game,
Didn't score a goal but performed equally well and had assists.
However, the crisis at Manchester United's central defender intensified in this game. Neville, who played as a guest central defender, was injured midway, forcing Carrick to fill the gap. Before the end of the game, another central defender, Wes Brown, made an early move when the team ran out of substitutions.
Leave.
Li Yu scored and the media shut up, but they did not weaken their interest in Manchester United at all. They changed the protagonist and introduced another player to the newspaper to attract readers' attention.
Gibson, whose style is similar to Scholes's, has risen strongly. The media can't help but ask whether the ginger head has a sense of crisis. Manchester United's veteran of three dynasties verbally expressed the idea of hanging up his boots and retiring, but then responded with a blast in the league.
, if a young boy wants to take over, he still has to see if his seniors nod.
Unlike Giggs, Scholes' position in the team has been somewhat awkward in the past two years. The growth of age is a big test for an attacker like him who "comes in" from behind. The ginger head also admitted that his performance is even worse than his own.
Unsatisfied: "Of course I won't say this is my best performance. I hope to play more and score more goals, but the situation is different now and my contribution to the team cannot meet my own expectations."
Scholes, who joined Manchester United at the age of 14, has been loyal to the Red Devils for 21 years. However, he has only played 12 times this season, most of which are in cup matches. He is no longer Ferguson's first choice, which makes Scholes a little disappointed.
He expressed that he might choose to retire after the end of this season, after all, his contract expires in half a year: "I can only play once every two or three weeks. I can only seize every opportunity as much as possible. Every player hopes to play every week, but I
Knowing that it can't happen, I can only accept the reality. I haven't considered the future yet, I'm not sure, I'll see what happens after the season."
If you see Scholes's performance at Upton Park today, it is difficult to associate him with his negative attitude two days ago. In the first 20 minutes, Scholes completed two long shots, each time more powerful than the last.
Ruthless, there are no signs of aging. In the 30th minute, Jiangtou fired for the third time, and the opponent's defender had no choice but to block the hole of the gun.
Manchester United couldn't attack for a long time, and the draw lasted until the stoppage time of the first half. It was Scholes who opened the iron barrel for the team again. Giggs' pass was cleared. Scholes unloaded the ball on his chest and adjusted steadily.
When he got to his left foot, he swung his kick and fired. The ball hit the top corner of the goal and hit the net. England goalkeeper Green could do nothing if he touched the ball. This is a typical Scholes-style heavy artillery that Gibson has to learn with admiration every time he trains.
something.
Sky Sports and "Manchester City Evening News" both gave Scholes 8 points, of course, not just because of his "explosive goal" that broke the deadlock for the team, but also because "he showed how powerful the Red Devils engine is."
Ferguson also said: "It is very important that we can score before halftime. After taking the lead, the team will play more stably." Scholes has indeed reduced production significantly this season as he said, but the current situation
The three goals scored were all important goals. The previous two goals in the Champions League group stage were a "3-point goal" that defeated Besiktas 1-0 in an away game, and the other was a home game against Zhongyang Army from 1-3.
The key ball for 2-3.
Scholes recently praised Giggs as "the greatest player in the history of Manchester United". Obviously he is envious of the latter's current state and the magic of being able to squeeze into the top 15 of the Ballon d'Or at the age of 35. However, from the past 10 years
In terms of contribution to Manchester United, Ginger Head may not be that much inferior to Giggs. Among other things, today's goal is Scholes' 99th league goal, which is less than 100 goals in the Premier League.
It's just one step away.
25 goals in the Champions League, more than Ryan Giggs. Although the Welsh Flying Tigers have 11 Premier League Gold Cups, Manchester United's last 9 Premier League titles also embody the sweat and blood of the ginger head. Whether it is Manchester United or the Premier League, it will be judged for ten years.
The best, no one can rule out Scholes.
Suppression first and then promotion can not only offend the players, but also attract the attention of the public. The media still loves the Manchester United veteran. When will Li Yu get such treatment?
The media treated Ginger Head like this because Manchester United defeated their opponent in an away game. Another player was not so lucky because Chelsea lost the game.
The match between Manchester City and Chelsea at home reached the 82nd minute. At this time, Manchester City was leading 2-1. Drogba dribbled the ball in the penalty area and was brought down by Onuoha. The referee immediately awarded a penalty kick. Lampard cut the ball down to the left.
Corner, Given made a correct judgment and bravely saved the penalty kick. Chelsea unfortunately missed the opportunity to equalize the score. Due to Lampard's missed penalty kick, Chelsea also suffered its third defeat of the season. After this round, Chelsea led at the top of the list
The advantage vanished in an instant, giving up the first place position.
Lampard's missed penalty kick is not the real excuse for Chelsea's defeat. A look at the statistics of both sides can explain everything. Of the three goals in the game, none of them was scored by Chelsea. The leading goal for the Blues was scored by Ade.
Bayo's own goal is nothing more. The goal score is 16 to 12, the corner kick is 9 to 6, and the yellow card is 1 to 6. It can be said that Chelsea is leading in no offensive data and can be called a complete defeat. If Lampard scores a penalty
To score the ball and gain a point for Chelsea is quite unfair to this bunch of data.
As Chelsea's top penalty taker, Lampard rarely misses a penalty. The most famous one was England's quarter-final match against Portugal in the 2006 World Cup, when Lampard missed a penalty during the penalty shootout.
In the end, England was eliminated. Of course, a golden man is a perfect man. Penalty kicks are a test of mentality and will. In today's world football, there is no player who can hit 100% of penalty kicks. Although Lampard took penalty kicks
Although he lost a draw that grabbed one point, it cannot conceal Zhong's outstanding performance this season. He has played 17 games this season and has contributed 5 goals and 8 assists to the team. Although compared with the same period,
The number of goals scored has dropped, but this data is already good enough.
Before this game, media public opinion gave three "tasteless" records that Chelsea wanted to hit. They were Chelsea and Manchester City's victory in the past 8 meetings, 10 wins in the past 12 away meetings, and 12 wins in the past 14 official games.
Keep an opponent's clean sheet. However, with Chelsea's defeat at Manchester City's home court, these records are all gone and can only become records for future generations to read. Of course, the loss of these records cannot be entirely blamed on Lampard alone, because even if a penalty kick is scored,
A 2-2 draw would not extend the record.
After the game, the British media "Sky Sports" rated the game. All Chelsea players received low scores, especially the frontcourt players. Except for Anelka, all the scores they received failed. Lampard was one of them.
One, only scored a pitiful 5 points, which does not mean that Chelsea's offense was weak in this game, and the team's loss was naturally inevitable. Ancelotti admitted at the post-match press conference that his team expressed dissatisfaction.
Well, it was also revealed that captain Terry was injured. In addition to the loss to Blackburn in the League Cup, Chelsea has suffered two consecutive defeats. It seems that if the team's condition is not adjusted in time, Manchester United may leave Chelsea behind in the next game.
