The most low-key superstar

Chapter 231 I'm Not a Hero

In the third round of the League Cup, Manchester United's opponent is Middlesbrough.

Last season, Middlesbrough ranked No.13 steadily, but it was a failure. The club has begun to tighten their belts and live a hard life. The worst start in the world, so far in the past few rounds of the league, they have not won a victory, and the head coach Southgate is also facing great pressure.

This time in the League Cup, they will challenge the mighty Manchester United in an away game, and then they will face their relegation direct opponent West Bromwich Albion at home.

In order to prepare for the relegation battle, although the league has just begun to be a relegation battle, Southgate's approach still has the support of many media.

For Manchester United, Middlesbrough, who announced the starting list early, means that they are coming with a white flag, you can figure it out.

Of course, Manchester United will not miss this good opportunity to exercise. A large number of rotation players have appeared on the field. Rafael, Fabio, Evans, O'Shea, Anderson, Gibson, and Welbeck have all won the starting lineup. Tevez also brought Captain's armband.

Before the start of the game, Nicole and his teammates sat in the stands, and the appearance of Nicole aroused warm welcome from the fans.

"Nicole, I love you."

"HERO! You are our hero!"

In the face of enthusiastic fans, Nickel had to stand up many times to greet the fans.

The process of the game was very easy, and Middlesbrough's resistance was not fierce. Both sides had the same goal, which was to train the bench players. Of course, Manchester United seemed to be of better quality.

"We are great Red Devils, we have a hero, he is omnipotent, he is Nicole, a hero with perseverance!"

Although Nicole did not appear on the stage, Manchester United fans still made up a heroic song for him. Tens of thousands of people sang it so that the atmosphere of the scene was very enthusiastic by the singing.

However, Nichol gradually felt that his teammates looked at him differently than before, and he couldn't help being surprised. He just enjoyed the treatment of a hero, but he forgot how his teammates felt. You will be isolated and you must express your attitude, otherwise it will definitely be a big trouble.

At the end of the game, Manchester United easily defeated their opponents with a score of [-] to [-] and advanced to the next round.

After the game, Nickel, who rarely accepts reporters' interviews, cooperated very well for the first time. He almost held a personal press conference in the parking lot.

"Nicole, now many people say you are a hero, what do you think?" The reporters were straightforward, and Nicole really wanted to hug this reporter and kiss him hard, what he really wanted.

"First of all, we need to know what a hero is. If I become a hero, how many heroes will there be in the world? Don't you think there are too many? The reason why the fans are like this is because of their love for the team, and I happen to be Became the captain that day, I don't think the word hero is appropriate, but it represents the love of the fans for the team."

"What about you personally?"

"I am a member of the team. All the players of Manchester United form a whole. Everyone plays a key role, rather than highlighting a certain person. If I have to use the word hero, I think Manchester United Heroes, the team brought joy to the fans."

"That said, Nicole, you don't consider yourself a hero?"

"Yes, I never thought I could use this word to describe myself. Of course, many people said that I was a hero. I felt that this was very unfair to my teammates. Everyone saw the game that day, and everyone worked hard. With all my strength, not just me."

It can be said that the interview Nicole accepted can be regarded as resolving a potential crisis, and Nicole will understand a lot of truths through this interview, which will be of great help to Nicole's life.

Three days later, Manchester United ushered in the league opponent, Bolton.

Bolton had a thrilling relegation success at the last moment of last season. This season they have continuously introduced many practical players, and relegation should be said to be their season goal.

Their players are average in strength and there are no big-name players, but their solid defense is their housekeeping skill based on the Premier League.

Just today, their goalkeeper, the Finn Jask Kleinen, played bravely in the first half, especially against Nicole, Nani once created a penalty kick, and everyone gave this opportunity to Nicole. The penalty kick was miraculously saved by Jass Kleining, which made Nickel's first experience of penalty kicks end in failure.

After the half-time break, Nickel, who knew his shame but was brave, became ruthless. He continued to seek breakthroughs in the midfield, organized beautiful attacks many times, helped Rooney and Nani to make contributions respectively, and saved his face with two assists. Manchester United won 2:0 at home.

After defeating their opponents at home, Manchester United has firmly secured the top spot in the league standings. However, the most surprising thing this round is that the Gunners lost at home to the newly promoted Hull City. The score of 1:2 shamed the Emirates Stadium.

After the game, the team quickly rushed to Alborg. The away game of the Champions League began. Alborg's strength was a mystery to Manchester United. Although they had already played a round, Manchester United still underestimated their opponents. The players were rested and Mr Ferguson fielded a mixed squad.

However, the opponent taught Manchester United a good lesson.

During the intermission, Manchester United was 0:2 behind, and Mr. Ferguson broke out, "I admit, I am a little careless, but what are you? You are insulting the cause of football. Look at your jerseys. Are you sweating?" ? Did you try your best, did you treat Alborg as an opponent, it was terrible."

"Nicole, your performance today is very disappointing. Although you have been playing hard, don't forget that you are still the captain on the field, and you have to bear the responsibility of a captain."

"In the second half, I will not make substitutions. Even if I am injured, I will not make substitutions. You decide what to do." After saying this, an angry Ferguson left the locker room.

Nicole also felt very ashamed. Recently, he was indeed a bit smug, and he really didn't take his opponent seriously. Although it seemed that he had been playing football hard, he knew exactly how much he had paid.

"Guys, the boss is angry. I think he is right to be angry. To be honest, I didn't take my opponent seriously. So, first of all, I would like to express my opinion to everyone. In the second half, I will use all my energy to finish the game." .”

"Yes, Nicole, me too."

"I agree."

"I don't want to lose. I think we did make a mistake, and we have to correct it when we know it."

Nicole stood up and put his hands flat, and the others put them one by one.

"Work hard, avenge your shame, and win!"

Nicole yelled.

"Work hard, avenge your shame, and win!"

"We have no choice, attack!" Nickel clapped his hands and shouted at his teammates.

"attack!"

In the second half, Manchester United's players seemed to have completely changed their team. They fought fiercely, spared no effort, and showed the energy of the away game against Chelsea.

I'm afraid to be serious about anything. The fighting power of the serious Manchester United has made Alborg overwhelmed. They thought they could break the biggest upset in the Champions League and beat the defending champion Manchester United. What a glorious thing, but, They were disappointed.

After the restart, only 5 minutes later, Carlos Tevez won a free kick in front of the opponent's penalty area. Nicole sent a beautiful deciduous ball, piercing the opponent's goalkeeper's ten fingers, and regained a goal.

Alborg was almost completely suppressed by Manchester United in halftime. After 10 minutes, Nicole took a corner kick and Ferdinand headed the net to equalize the score.

At the last moment, Alborg defended with all his strength, trying to hold on to the tie. Nicole was cooperating with several teammates with consecutive short passes. After attracting most of the attention of the opponent, Nickel made an unexpected pass and passed Alborg. For Welbeck, he scored his first official goal on behalf of Manchester United. Game goals.

3:2, Manchester United reversed and scored three points.
