There is a dream called football

Chapter 504
Old Trafford.

80 minutes in the second half.

Lyon leads Manchester United 1-0, but for Lyon, this is not enough at all, because they still need 3 goals.

In this game, Manchester United played with all substitutes. None of the tridents started or even entered the squad. Joe Lee, Ronaldo, and Rooney sat in the stands of Old Trafford in casual clothes. Manchester United's players performed well and only conceded a goal.

In the 85th minute, Ferguson asked Queiroz to call Tevez to warm up, and he wanted to replace the starting Saha.

But soon, something unexpected happened.

When Queiroz came back, his face was ugly.

"what happened?"

……

"What's the matter?"

……

"Carlos refused to play."

Ferguson suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. He has coached for 20 years and has never encountered a situation where a player refused to play.

"What's wrong?"

"Carlos said he was not feeling well."

"What's the problem?"

Ferguson had vaguely felt that the problem was serious, but this was Old Trafford, dozens of cameras were filming, and any little thing would be infinitely magnified, so Ferguson calmed down immediately, and he patted Queiroz.

"I see, let's replace Nani."

Queiroz nodded, indicating that he understood.

After the game was over, Pei Lan took the initiative to come over to pay tribute to the old man, but the strange thing is that the old man didn't show any joy on his face, instead he looked a little depressed. Could it be that he looked down on himself?

However, Ferguson still had a few polite words with his opponent, and then quickly left the court.

In this way, the game ended, and everything seemed to be peaceful until the next day, an explosive news came out that Tevez was suspended by Manchester United until the end of the season. In other words, Tevez will not play for Manchester United for the rest of the season.

What happened?
This is a common question in the British media.

Soon, the all-powerful British media found clues, and Sky Sports was the first to disclose the news, that is, in the Champions League match against Lyon, Tevez rejected Ferguson's request for a substitution, which made the old coach unbearable.

Subsequently, the British media disclosed more and more news, and the public opinion also criticized Tevez one-sidedly, because Tevez's behavior was obviously very unprofessional. For a player, obeying the arrangement of the head coach is a must.

*****
The Tevez incident affected the mood of the team. This is not a trivial matter. Li Qiao remembers that Tevez fell on his temper in his previous life. Unfortunately, he did not learn the lesson and continued to do his own thing. It seems that this time he still fell on his bad temper.

To be honest, being replaced by the head coach during the garbage time, you really feel angry as a player, but there is no way, you are a professional player, and you eat this bowl of rice.

In the past few days, Tevez has not come to training, and the players probably understand that his life at Manchester United is over, and there may be only one way to transfer.

Tevez is also self-aware, and flew back to Argentina after the accident, he may also know that he can only transfer.

But for Ferguson, there are still many problems. The first is to explain to the media what happened. Although the media reports are correct in all likelihood, Sir Alex Ferguson still has to make an official version of the clarification, so he informed the media that a press conference will be held on Thursday to learn about this matter before the arrival of the Premier League on the weekend.

******
At the press conference, many reporters came, because this matter related to Tevez's future, many Spanish-speaking reporters came. After all, the influence of Argentine football is also huge.

First, a reporter asked, "Sir, we have seen a lot of rumors, can you give the official version, the most formal explanation, what happened that day?"

Ferguson waved the microphone, his expression was not very good.

"What happened was that at the end of the game that day, I asked the assistant coach to notify Carlos to make a substitution, but he refused my request. I didn't know what happened at the time, so I had to replace Nani."

"Is Carlos injured?"

"No, I can be sure of this. He may be dissatisfied with my arrangement." Ferguson shrugged, "But I think that anyway, since a player earns so much money at Manchester United, he must fulfill his responsibilities as a professional player. Obviously, in this matter, Tevez did not fulfill his responsibilities as a professional player. I feel very sorry."

Now that things are clear, the biggest suspense next is Tevez's future. Does he really have no future at Manchester United?
In this regard, Ferguson's answer is more artistic.

"First of all, Carlos Tevez must understand that this matter is very serious. Secondly, I hope he can reflect on it, but now is not the time to talk about the future, because I have a principle, not to make a decision in the midst of distractions, as it will be influenced by emotions."

It has to be said that the old handsome still has skills, he will not talk to death, lest there is no way to get back in the future, so the media will not get the final answer.

But someone immediately mentioned Beckham and compared this incident with the flying boots back then.

Ferguson smiled. He had expected this, after all, the British media is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

The implication is that the old sir, you have made mistakes yourself, what should you say now?

In this regard, Ferguson first laughed, and then said: "That's two different things. It was originally a contradiction in the locker room, and the locker room is a place for the team's privacy, and this is disobedience on the court. This is not allowed. If Carlos is dissatisfied with my arrangement in any way, he can tell me in private. I will understand, but not on the court."

This answer is convincing enough for professional football journalists. Off the field, coaches and players are equal, but on the field, the coach says the same thing, otherwise the game will not be played.

Everyone in the circle understands this.

Finally, Ferguson once again emphasized the discipline of the team, "Any behavior that offends the authority of the head coach cannot be tolerated at Manchester United. I don't want any player to challenge my authority as a head coach again."

The Carlos Tevez incident was turbulent, but it quickly calmed down, and Manchester United's attention shifted to the Champions League quarter-finals.

The league has taken a lot of lead, and now the Champions League is the most important thing. In addition to the FA Cup, Manchester United still has hope. Ferguson still has the hope of winning the Triple Crown this season.

Dreaming back to 1999, this is not only Ferguson's personal hope, but also the wish of Manchester United.

Li Qiao certainly hopes that he can win the treble with Manchester United.
