heir to the red devil

Chapter 1032 The Story of Many Years Ago
Hearing these words from Alonso, Van Dijk froze for a moment.

Yes, if I blindly treat my enemies with kindness, wouldn't that be the same as being ruthless to my own people?

I'm the captain of Manchester United!
Van Dijk's eyes became more fierce: "Maxi, thank you for your reminder. Don't worry, I won't let Neymar attack the goal easily!"

At this time, on the coaching bench of the home team, Jin Taige and Scholes were also chatting about this issue.

"Captain, Van Dijk seems to be struggling to defend Neymar."

"Facing a striker of Neymar's level, which defender dares to say that he can definitely defend him? Van Dijk has done a good job."

"Then during the intermission, let Van Dijk properly strengthen the body collision. I think he is a little timid. This measure of 'proper strengthening' is too difficult to control."

"Paul, I know what you want to say, but I don't want to do that. I hope Van Dijk can become a defender like Maldini, a defender with smart positioning, accurate tackles, and accurate predictions. I don't want him to be a defender. Similar to butchers like Pepe or Ramos. Manchester United has now won seven championships. It can be said that we are now the target of many teams vying to imitate. If we use despicable means to win the game, it will definitely have a bad effect , This impact is very bad for international football and our club itself. With Manchester United's current strength, there is no need to play lethal tactics with opponents."

"Captain, you really consider things comprehensively, I admire you. I think you can work in FIFA after you retire, ha ha."

"Haha, forget it. Although I don't like doing business, compared to being a politician... I think doing business is more interesting."

The two chatted, and Scholes was very emotional.

Scholes suddenly recalled that many years ago, at a private dinner of Sir Alex Ferguson, Kintag's rare face was red when he argued with another person because of football.

That man was former Manchester United captain Roy Keane.

During the meeting at that time, Keane put forward his own point of view: as long as he can defeat his opponent, there is no problem with any method.

But Jin Taige immediately put forward a different opinion: Whether it is a person or a football player, we must control the principled issues. Although I do not flaunt the spirit of the Virgin Mary, the basic professional ethics must be followed!

On this topic, Jin Taige and Keen argued endlessly, and even a few people from Class 92 took sides and joined the discussion.

However, Sir Alex Ferguson did not express any opinion at that time. He watched the contention between the two lovers with a smile, without saying a word.

At that time, Ferguson looked at Scholes, who was also silent beside him: "Paul, what do you think?"

Scholes shook his head: "It's hard to say, I think victory is the most important thing, but professional ethics is equally important."

"You honest man." Ferguson said with a smile.

But to this day, Scholes doesn't know what Sir Ferguson thought at the beginning, but he can understand something through Sir Ferguson's last concluding words.

"Roy, you are a good captain, like a hard spear, helping your teammates remove all obstacles. Even after retiring, you will definitely become a good coach."

"Tiger, you are a good coach, but your future is hard to say. If you are thrown into the English Championship - that kind of league that fights hand-to-hand all day and night to coach, with your personality and thinking, it is estimated that you will suffer a lot. Loss; but if you put you in my position, or in the position of Real Madrid, Barcelona and other teams, maybe you can achieve very unexpected results."

Scholes now thinks back, maybe at that moment, Sir Alex Ferguson had already begun to think about the issue of his successor, and maybe Kintag had become one of his candidates.It may be because of Kintag's persistent character, it may be because of Kintag's rich youth team coaching experience, or it may be because of other things, but it is impossible to know now.

Scholes said to himself: "If one day, victory in the game conflicts with professional ethics, and you must rely on insidious means to win, then how should you choose?"

Jin Taige did not answer.He still looked at the players of the two teams on the football field without any reaction.

Maybe he didn't hear it, maybe Jin Taige himself didn't know how to choose?

What we can do now is to try our best to improve the strength of the team, and then try to avoid this kind of dilemma...

At this time, the game had gone on for 62 minutes, and an hour later, the score was still 1-1.

Paris became more and more anxious, they pressed frequently, and even once all but the goalkeeper crossed the midfield line.

But still to no avail.

The pressure on Neymar is getting bigger and bigger, Van Dijk seems to be getting more and more difficult to deal with, and he can find an opportunity to cut inside just now, but now he has no way to get rid of Van Dijk's defense.

After Van Dijk tackled Neymar's ball neatly, Neymar lay on the ground and looked at the tall Van Dijk in front of him.

Is this the strength of the best central defender in the world?
Van Dijk looked at Neymar on the ground, he stretched out his hand expressionlessly, pulled Neymar up, and then continued to follow the Brazilian.

Neymar looked at Van Dijk, but also said nothing.

What a formidable foe!

In the 68th minute of the game, under the tight defense of Van Dijk, Neymar reluctantly passed the ball to Di Maria next to him.Di Maria suddenly advanced, causing Kimmich to lose his position all of a sudden, and Di Maria was about to break into the penalty area!
At this time, Kimmich reluctantly chose to foul and pulled Di Maria down.

Paris, which had been unable to start the situation in the second half, finally got a free kick in a good position.

De Gea anxiously commanded the defenders to form a tall human wall, and Van Dijk continuously adjusted the distance between his teammates.

At this time Di Maria and Neymar are standing in front of the ball.

"Would you like this ball?"

"I come!"

Seeing that Manchester United's human wall has been set up, the referee's whistle sounded, Neymar stepped back slowly, then accelerated, came to the ball, volleyed vigorously, the ball drew a wonderful arc in the air, and went straight to Manchester United's far corner!

De Gea was ready, he jumped up, stretched his arms, trying to keep the ball out of the goal...

"Neymar's curve ball! The ball went around De Gea's finger and went straight into the net! The ball went in!!!"

"De Gea has tried his best. He seems to have touched the ball between his feet, but he still can't change the direction of the ball. The ball hit the absolute dead end of Manchester United's goal!"

"2 to 1! Paris regained the lead, and they once again saw the hope of advancing!"
