Manchester United legend

Chapter 62 Robson leaves the team

Jost punched Emmanuel at the banquet, Theron asked Jost to apologize, Jost refused to apologize and turned away.

Jost went directly to Los Angeles Airport and flew back to the UK by plane overnight.Jost was very angry, not expecting Theron to consider himself a barbarian.

It was already daytime when Jost returned to England, and the phone rang at Jost’s home. Jost thought it was Theron’s call, but he didn’t expect it to be Brian Robson’s.

On the phone, Robson asked Jost to come to the Carrington training ground. After Jost arrived at the training ground, Robson was already waiting for him.

Jost: "What asked me to be the captain?"

Robson: "I called you for several days, but no one answered. I didn't expect to answer today. Where did you go?"

Jost: "I went to the United States and watched the World Cup."

Robson: "Oh! It must be an eye-opener, right? You have discovered many excellent players!"

Jost nodded, and Robson said, "I called you here today to give you my best horizontal ball volley."

Jost muttered, "Shoot the ball vigorously?"

Robson: "Yes, go and change quickly, the special training is about to begin."

After a while, Jost changed his clothes, and Robson explained to Jost how to volley from the ground.

Robson: "If you have the skill of shooting low and long shots it helps you score more goals outside the box and I've scored a lot of them in my career.

This kind of ball makes it difficult for the goalkeeper to save. First, the ball is so low that it is difficult for the goalkeeper to quickly adjust his body to lean over to save, unlike the ball that flies over their heads and can be positioned to fly to save at any time, so when you shoot from a long distance, it is best to use this kind of low-level ball, which can cause more trouble for the goalkeeper.

Second, if you add some topspin, the ball is likely to slide past the goalkeeper with a bouncing effect after touching the ground. This situation is difficult for the goalkeeper to deal with. "

Jost: "Really so bad?"

Robson: "I'll show you a demonstration. I'm teaching you the essentials of shooting. When you can use it in the game, you will know how effective this kind of shooting is."

Flick the ball to the right first, the purpose of this is to induce the goalkeeper to react first, because the goalkeeper is constantly adjusting his footsteps to put the ball in front of him.

When you move the ball to the right, the goal will move to your left. At this time, you can seize the opportunity to shoot and hit the far corner immediately, because the goalkeeper already has the kinetic energy to think to the left, and it is difficult for him to quickly adjust and jump to the right again.

Let me swing your legs first. As I said before when I told you to shoot, the main source of shooting power is determined by the angle between your calf and thigh. The leg swing is very important. If this movement is done well, it can generate more power, so the leg swing should be large, just like stretching the quadriceps.

Next is the position where the foot kicks the ball. We want to use the position of the shoelaces to kick the ball, which is slightly off the center of the shoelaces, like the inside of the foot, which is here. "Robson squatted down and told Jost where the hitting point was.

Jost: "Why use this place?"

Robson: "Because we don't want the effect of an arc, we just want the ball to roll into the goal in a straight line with topspin. The best hitting point is in the center of the ball, but there is an upward movement of the foot during kicking, which can produce the effect of topspin. When the ball touches the ground, it will continue to fly to the goal with the rhythm.

Another important point when playing football is to lean forward and put your chest on the ball as much as possible, so that you can press the ball lower. If you lean back, you will involuntarily kick the bottom of the ball, and even your toes will be raised. The ball will definitely hit high or fly out of the crossbar with a spin. This is not what we want.

If the chest is forward our feet will wrap well around the bottom where the ball won't kick, so the kick will be lower and faster. "

Jost took several shots, but the results were not satisfactory.Always flak.Robson observed for a long time and found the shortcomings of Jost's shooting.

Robson: "I find it's not right when you kick the ball and swing your leg a lot to one side to give it more power.

This does not increase the power of the shot. Instead, the excessive swing of the leg with the ball to one side causes the ball to spin outwards, causing the ball to deviate from the target as above. Obviously this is not the effect we want today.

Before kicking the ball, your follow-the-ball action should point to the target. When the foot touches the ball, the foot should point to the target. Only after the ball leaves the foot can it pass in front of you.

Your body will naturally lean to this side after kicking the ball, so be prepared to roll your hips to one side ahead of time. "

Jost followed Robson's advice and gradually got better while practicing low shots.Then Jost gradually mastered the essentials of low shots, and Robson smiled gratifiedly.

It was getting late, and Robson stopped Jost who was practicing: "It's already late, kid. Practice tomorrow. This is my last special training for you."

Jost: "The last special training for me? What do you mean?"

Robson: "I'm leaving Manchester United this summer."

Jost was taken aback after hearing Robson's words: "Why did you leave Manchester United? Are you going to retire?"

Robson: "No, I'm going to Middlesbrough."

Jost: "Why don't you stay at Manchester United? Isn't it good here!"

Robson: "I'm too old to play high-quality games. I only played more than ten games last season. I can't contribute much to Manchester United. It happened that the Middlesbrough team approached me and asked me to be a player-coach.

Jost saw that Ferguson agreed, and he had no reason to keep Robson. Jost still wanted to fight for it: "But I still need you, Brian, to stay for me."

Robson laughed. "Your words make me sick. I'd be happy if a girl said that to me."

Jost: "Brian, stop joking, stay!"

Robson: "I have already signed a contract with the Middlesbrough team. It is impossible to go back on it. Besides, I have given you everything I can give you. I have nothing left to give you. You are now called 'Robson II' by the fans."

Jost: "But I'm not as good as you at all."

Robson: "Don't say that, you may be better than me when you play at my age, but I don't want you to become 'Robson II', but to become 'Jost I'. Remember what you promised me, to be the best player in England. Well, there is no banquet in the world, and life must go on. Let me treat you to a big meal tonight."

The biggest news for Manchester United this summer is the departure of the legendary captain Robson.

Manchester United had announced before the start of the season that it would no longer renew Robson's contract-the old captain is 37 years old and has no longer stayed in Manchester United's main lineup.

实际上1992至1993赛季罗布森仅仅为曼联在联赛出场14次，打进1球；1993至1994赛季也仅仅为曼联出战15场，同样只有5球进账。37岁的年龄、伤痕累累的身体，数不胜数的伤病……昔日的钢铁战士也已经垂垂老矣。

The old captain of Manchester United knew that he could no longer help the Red Devils to move forward, and leaving became inevitable. He has no regrets after his success.

The main purpose of staying in the Premier League for one more season is to satisfy my desire to play football.

As a result, the successful Robson decided to move to Middlesbrough to fight in the Premier League again.

Even, in order to try to stay in the football field, Robson also served as Middlesbrough's coach.

For Manchester United fans, it's the end of an era - with the legendary captain finally leaving United.

Manchester United held a commemorative match for Robson this summer-this is the highest tribute the Red Devils give to a meritorious player.

Manchester United also held a special commemorative ceremony, and soon after Manchester United included Robson in the Manchester United Hall of Fame.

After Robson retired, Manchester United specially hired him as an image ambassador,
In the 13 years since he joined Manchester United, Robson has made many achievements for Manchester United. He is the core player with the longest captaincy in Manchester United history. He played 434 times for Manchester United and scored 97 goals.

For Manchester United, Robson is a true legend of the Red Devils. His glory shines on the starry sky of Manchester United, and his performance has won the love of Manchester United fans.

For Ferguson, Robson was the cornerstone of his creation of the first-generation Red Devils team at Manchester United, and also a key part of his creation of a new Manchester United central axis.

Robson has been in good shape for a long time after Ferguson's arrival.

Ferguson's coaching has really pushed Robson to the throne of England's best all-round midfielder-both in terms of strength and honor.

Robson led the Red Devils to win two consecutive league championships, reaching the pinnacle of Ferguson's first generation of Manchester United.Robson wore the No. 7 jersey at Manchester United and served as Manchester United captain for 12 years, the longest time in history as Manchester United captain.

After he left Manchester United, the No. 7 jersey was worn on Cantona, and the Manchester United captain was held by Bruce.Robson's position on the court was replaced by Jost and Ince.

This is the inheritance of Manchester United's tradition and the renewal of Manchester United's blood.

When Robson's farewell game was held, Manchester United fans flocked. "Salute to the legend - you are the great Robson, the Robson of Manchester United!"

The huge slogan in the Theater of Dreams expresses the fans' aspirations and also expresses the club's gratitude.

Old teammates sent their wishes one after another, and the bars in Manchester were full of old and new friends who invited Robson to have a drink and get drunk together.

Ferguson said at Robson's farewell ceremony, "I think I will always be grateful to Robson in the future. Without his support and dedication, my years at Manchester United are hard to guess. It may be a long darkness. I guess I may not survive the final challenge."

Edwards also gave Robson the highest evaluation, "Robson's wisdom, bravery, selflessness and integrity are the most valuable qualities of our team. The Red Devils can directly experience every minute and every second of his contribution to us on the court. He connected the offense and defense in the midfield and supported the entire central axis of Manchester United. I think this is the core and soul of the team."

Charlton described Robson as a hero: "Bryan was a miracle, a fantastic man, he did everything anyone could imagine on the pitch. He was a hero for Manchester United."
