Chapter 99

The England Community Shield, which was previously named the Charity Shield, has a long history in England. The two sides are the Premier League champions and the FA Cup champions.

The two sides of the game undoubtedly represent the top level of England, but the nature of the game is a friendly match, and there is even a curse in the Community Shield Cup, that is, the team that wins the Community Shield often cannot win the next Premier League League champions!

Fame is big, but the gold content is not high, and the FA has nothing to do about it. Just like the Premier League broadcast fees make Premier League clubs willing to give up the League Cup and FA Cup early to focus on the Premier League, the Community Shield is actually a warm-up in many cases. Mainly, there is no such thing as hard steel.

The former is easy to understand. In England, the Premier League has a dense schedule and there is no winter break. During this period, some teams will compete in European competitions, and those without European competitions will have to spend energy in the two domestic cup competitions. Some losses outweigh the gains.

It's better to just throw away the two tasteless cup games, focus on the league, and maybe get more ratings.

But this year's Community Shield is particularly eye-catching, for no other reason, just because the two sides are Premier League champions Manchester United and FA Cup champions Leeds United!

Last season, before the two teams collided and after the upset Leeds United were promoted, the entire England was full of new fans to popularize their grievances. Now no one knows the undercurrent between them. The two teams The team's fans even scolded countless rounds on online forums and social media two or three days before the start of the game.

Before the knockout match last season, both sides were quiet. It wasn't that they didn't know that the other side was their sworn enemy, but because Manchester United was in full swing at that time. The fans didn't bother to scold. Leeds United was immersed in the grief of being bought and played by the rich second generation. Naturally, they didn't have the courage to go out and complain. It would be so ugly if they lost miserably.

This time it is different, Manchester United is very strong, but the fans of Leeds United feel that they are not weak!

And I fucked you once last season, why can't I come a second time!

Not to be outdone, Manchester United directly pulled out the results of Leeds United in the past 20 years and sneered. Isn't it just a coincidence that they won our mixed lineup?If you eat a meal, you will get fat, if you say you are fat, you will pant, what a face?

Leeds United said that Manchester United was shameless for poaching their own family members.

Manchester United said that Leeds United is just a dead local tyrant with no background.

Anyway, you come and go on both sides, no matter if it's true or not, let's talk about it, it's totally unreasonable!

When a piece of news about Ferdinand was released, it directly brought the atmosphere of the game to a climax!

"Ferdinand: I feel sorry for Alan, Manchester United is the best club now"

...What a pity?Is it a pity that Alan Smith was used by Manchester United and then thrown away as a useless person, or is it a pity that Alan Smith returned to Leeds United to "abandon himself"?

Who is Ferdinand?

The old player who once defected from Leeds United threatened Leeds United to sell him to the rival Manchester United with strike training and media public opinion to force the club, which is completely a representative of defection and departure!

Anyway, everyone knows that you are a traitor, it's fine to praise Manchester United, but what the hell is it to step on Leeds United!Ferdinand, you forget where you came from!

In fact, many fans don't take Ferdinand seriously anymore. After all, their defenders have performed well now and the team is thriving, so the fans don't bother to care about or regret Ferdinand's departure.

Leeds United didn't speak, but someone came out to flirt!

The new round of confrontation once again overturned the entire social media, and also heated up this dispensable Community Shield Cup!

But these have no effect on the clubs on both sides. The scolding will happen before every game. As long as it does not develop into violent incidents caused by fans punching each other, then no one will care about them.

Also for this game, Wembley Stadium, where the Community Shield is held, specially deployed thousands of police officers to maintain order, fearing that something will happen to the fans of the sworn rivals, and closed all the surrounding bars one day in advance to reduce and The possibility of a drunken brawl.

In England, there are not a few fans who turn into football hooligans after drinking a few drinks.

But when the fans really entered the field, the situation surprised many people.

Jack Brown, who was doing the warm-up broadcast before the game, was a little surprised to see the Los Blancos fans occupying half of the stadium, and quickly asked the director to cut the camera.

Now Leeds United's football hooligan organization "Leeds United Service Gang" has quickly disappeared. Those who used the banner of fans to commit crimes were either arrested by Heinrich contacting the police, or banned from entering the stadium after being reported by other fans. Leeds The United took a drastic step to remove these people who might disturb the entire fans watching the game, without mercy.

And this kind of measure did not rebound, but got unanimous support!

The reason is simple. Fans buy tickets to watch the game for enjoyment. It is a good thing to reduce some unstable factors. Besides, Leeds United’s attitude towards fans is already gentle enough, and all kinds of benefits are at the top of the Premier League. As an ordinary fan, it is no longer possible. Ask for more.

And now, Leeds United's fan organization has officially changed its name to the "White Rose Corps", with Cecil as the chairman. It is also Mr. Cecil who led the fans to Wembley this time!

He stood at the front, raised the team's scarf over his head, and led the fans to sing the team anthem loudly!

When the Leeds United fans wearing the Leeds United home jersey of the new season roared out the team song in unison, it was extremely shocking, especially when Manchester United had not yet organized the formation, it seemed that the Leeds United fans' voices were deafening!

Now that the pre-match press conference has not yet started, the Leeds United fans entered the stadium much earlier, and the order and enthusiasm they showed was amazing.

The singing of the fans inevitably spread to the press hall of Wembley. Heinrich, who was sitting on the stage, listened quietly for a while, and then said with a smile: "It seems that no matter what the result is today, I will Send my compliments to the fans of the club."

Ferguson on the side sat there with a serious face, but shook his head helplessly in his heart.

Perhaps it is because the enemy knows a team better, Ferguson can clearly see the changes in Leeds United.Not only the replacement of players and the introduction of stars with a lot of money, but also the fact that this club has inevitably been branded with Heinrich.

What is the most important thing about a team?Achievements, heritage, or money?

These may all become the necessary conditions for a successful club, but for coaches, what really allows them to gain a foothold in the club is to let this club engrave his name!

Ferguson did it. He used so many years and countless championship trophies to make himself firmly seated on the undisputed throne of Manchester United.

Now it seems that Heinrich has also done it. Perhaps the starting point of Leeds United is too low. Heinrich only used two championships to make the whole club, from players to fans, treat him as God!

Those fans who sang the team song could not be spontaneous, they must be organized, and the people who organized the organization undoubtedly have direct contact with Leeds United Club. of!

But what is shocking is that this person can actually get fans to come to Wembley early with a single sentence. This is the most incredible thing.

If Heinrich knew what Ferguson was thinking, he would definitely applaud for Ferguson.

It is indeed Heinrich's instruction that Cecil organized the fans early, and the fans also know that this is what Heinrich is looking forward to.

It is precisely because of Heinrich that they are willing to come to the scene early to satisfy their little coaches.

At this moment, a reporter raised his arm. Ferguson nodded. The reporter stood up and asked, "Mr. Ferguson, will Manchester United use Ferdinand for this game?"

As soon as these words came out, many people's eyes subconsciously turned to Heinrich.

Everyone knows that Ferdinand didn't look excited when he made his statement to reporters before the game, but the contempt in it was obvious.

Ferguson also understood that this was a trick, but he still said directly: "Ferdinand is a very good player. He is England's top central defender. There is no doubt about it. In fact, whether he starts or not depends on the tactical arrangement of the game. Now It is not convenient for me to disclose."

And the reporter quickly turned to Heinrich: "Mr. Heinrich, what do you think of Ferdinand?"

Heinrich smiled, and gently flipped the diamond cufflinks on his cuffs.

Naturally, he had seen the relevant reports, and even if he hadn't, it was impossible for Heinrich to turn a blind eye to the way Mr. Byron was hopping and gnashing his teeth at Ferdinand with a face of resentment since yesterday.

However, Heinrich also understands that reporters asking such questions are actually picking things up, and they don't care what they think of Ferdinand. I'm afraid these reporters can't wait for Ferguson to praise Ferdinand so much that there is nothing in the world, and they are angry with themselves They are only happy when they directly slap the table or even stage a full martial arts.

Understanding the routines of the English reporters, Heinrich did not give them this opportunity, but smiled and pulled the microphone and said: "After I came to England, I actually had a lot of insights."

The reporters in the audience were taken aback for a moment, as if they didn't understand why Heinrich thought of expressing emotion at this time.

Heinrich's voice paused, and the smile on his face deepened.

Clean and beautiful fingertips held the microphone in front of him, and Heinrich's beautiful blue-green eyes were full of gentleness as always: "I have a very good memory in England, it's no secret .Liverpool has given me a lot, whether it is training or life, Liverpool has made me full of goodwill towards England. Although I have not lived here for a long time, it is indeed a dream of mine to choose an English club to coach. The fan culture here, the league The atmosphere, even the unexpected enthusiasm of the journalists and ladies, is enough to make people feel good."

Many reporters who said this sentence coughed subconsciously. Even if they added the crown of the uncrowned king to themselves, who didn't know it?The way they want to make headlines is always weird and even phishing for law enforcement.

To be praised so bluntly all of a sudden is indeed a bit unbelievable. I feel a little happy, but also feel very entangled. I feel that this handsome and clean little coach seems to be cheated by me...

But at this moment, no one feels that Heinrich is lying. After all, Leeds United has always provided journalists with a lot of benefits. They even squatted at the door to block the players, but the staff invited them under the parasol And invited them to drink coffee...

Of course, the players were not interviewed in the end.

Even now at Wembley for the match, the staff of the Leeds United Club also gave each reporter a cup of iced black tea before entering the field, which can be regarded as good enough.

But Heinrich was indeed talking nonsense with his eyes open, but he couldn't see the slightest trace from that gentle and indifferent face.

"In addition to these, I also feel some interesting things." Heinrich said slowly, holding his chin, "England has a lot of distinctive national food, and there are many English players with the same name, such as in Leeds United’s youth training camp, I found a lot of Ferdinand when I looked at the enrollment list, I have to say that this is a very common name, just like there are many people named Müller in Germany.”

……Um?

This sentence was spoken calmly and in a flat tone, but the reporters who had been struggling with all kinds of news immediately grasped the point, and looked at Heinrich with bright eyes.

The blond man was still smiling, sitting upright, well dressed, looking at the reporter who asked the question with amber eyes, and his voice had a nice ending: "I don't think I know the Ferdinand you mentioned, who is he?" ah?"

...!

If Heinrich scolded Ferdinand directly, then there would be a manuscript called "The Leeds United coach is still unforgettable, the old general actually made the young coach lose his composure!" "

Of course, if Heinrich avoids talking about it, they also have a way: "Refused to talk about the team traitor, Leeds United is destined to miss the name of a strong team!" "

But now the answer given by Heinrich is simply unacceptable.

Neither complained nor perfunctory, but told them with a smile, I don't know Ferdinand, and completely ignored Manchester United's main central defender!

No one believed that Heinrich really didn't know Ferdinand. As he said, the name Ferdinand is not uncommon, but there is only one Ferdinand in Manchester United!

As the head coach of Leeds United, Heinrich must get to know the players of Manchester United before the game. Do you know him?Liar ghosts do not believe it!

But the final attitude expressed by this sentence is very straightforward, that is, Heinrich did not take Ferdinand seriously at all.

No matter what others think, Ferguson frowned first, and turned his head to look at Heinrich: "I think, Adrian, you will know who Ferdinand is in this game."

Heinrich looked back with a smile: "Of course, I'm looking forward to it."

Ferguson didn't get tired of Heinrich. In fact, the two of them had some communication in private, so they wouldn't really scold him just because of a single sentence.Ferguson was very reasonable when he met coaches other than Wenger. What's more, it is taboo to discuss players before the game. In the end, it will affect the state of his own players. Naturally, Ferguson will not use players as an excuse for psychological warfare.

Heinrich didn't hold on to this matter, he just smiled and quickly cut off the topic with Ferguson, and the press conference went on smoothly.

The next two coaches seemed to be consciously staggering each other, and there were not many opportunities for communication at all. Until the end of the press conference, Ferguson said in response to the starting question of this game: "About this game, it is mainly training. It will start soon, and Manchester United's players have also made some adjustments, and the most important thing is to adjust the formation."

In other words, Manchester United is going to turn this game into a warm-up match. Obviously Ferguson also hopes that the reporters will not take the result of the game too seriously.

Heinrich also nodded with a smile when he heard the words: "Of course, Sir Alex Ferguson is right. Our real competition is in the sixth round of the league, not now."

But just half an hour later, when they each got the opponent's starting lineup in the locker room, the corners of their eyes twitched, and they all accused each other of being a close relative of the fox in their hearts.

And Jack Brown also got the starting list. He originally thought that he might have to explain a match between substitutes and substitutes today. After a commercial, he excitedly announced to the fans:

"The Community Shield is about to start. According to the starting list, both Manchester United and Leeds United will play with all their main players! This must be a match between sparks and the earth, please wait and see!"
