[Football] The Light of Abandoned Sons

In fact, it’s no wonder that Gary Neville called Lou van der Ley ‘little brother’. For those who used to be in class 92, Lou van der Ley, who was successfully integrated later, is really like their younger generation.Even if he is really amazing, it can't be changed. In their eyes, he is still immature.

Not only in Class 92, but perhaps also in the eyes of the stars who won the Triple Crown in the 98-99 season.

Just look at the main players of the year, Beckham is gone, Butt is gone, Phil Neville decides to transfer at the end of the season, Sheringham is gone, Stam and Johnson are gone, Evans and David May are retired , Solskjaer will be reimbursed this season and his age will only be an absolute substitute, Cole and Yorke rarely hear the news, Roy Keane will completely retire at the end of next season, it seems that Manchester United Only Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes were still there.

Oh yes, and Lou Vandre.

There is one other person besides Gary Neville who feels that Lou van der Ley is uneasy.He is Alex Ferguson.The old man in Scotland felt that he would not be surprised if the subject of this report was Giggs, Neville, Chris, or Robin, but the subject of the report was Lawrence, who seemed destined to be insulated from such scandals. Van der Rey.

Aarau was called to the office by the head coach, and Boss looked very kindly and handed it to Aarau with the cookies baked by his wife, which made Aarau a little flattered.After Ferguson babbled a few words, he got to the point. Hearing the head coach talk about gossip in a caring tone, Aarau couldn't help sighing, "Boss, I have nothing to do, really." Ferguson didn't believe it, and he showed a big smile.

Ferguson thought to himself, you kid has become used to smiling, who cares about your smirk.

Whether Ferguson is a person with many things, this really remains to be verified.Sometimes you poke a hole in the sky and he doesn't care to talk to you, sometimes you have a little problem and he can make him sigh.

"Actually, you have given me the same feeling for so many years. You and Schmeichel are two completely different people." After Ferguson finished speaking, he felt a little ridiculous, "Of course, you, Lou van der Rey, and the whole world All goalkeepers are very different."

"As all fans think, you are Manchester United's last line of defense and the soul of the entire back line. They will feel at ease when they see that you are the goalkeeper," Ferguson handed Aarau a teacup. Aarau didn't care Hey, he looked at the rare and emotional Ferguson in a daze, "And you, you always hope that you can do your best for this team and set an example for your teammates, so that you can better command them and guide them. They're moving toward a better goal."

Lou van der Ley is such a person, maybe it's okay off the court, but on the court, he has always been strict with himself and pursued perfection excessively. "I didn't really appreciate your excessive restraint on the pitch at first, not only when you first came to Manchester United, but even now, as a goalkeeper, you are not the kind of hot goalkeeper who will roar all the time. But then I I understand, you also have the ability to command, maybe this is your personality charm."

Aarrau was flattered by Ferguson's sudden compliment, and he listened to Ferguson continue, "Goalkeepers make mistakes, maybe like Peter, and he blames everything else but him. Peter Schmeichel's way of decompression. And you, Aarau, you do everything well, but that's not good."

"—You know, you always like to take all the responsibilities on your own shoulders. If you continue like this, one day you will crush yourself."

Lou van der Ley frowned slightly. Ferguson would not speak nonsense. He must have his own reasons for saying this, but, "I want to win and do my best. I don't think there is anything wrong with this, Boss."

"I know there is a popular saying among you young people, 'With great power comes great responsibility', but this is not necessarily true. No matter how strong a person is, he can't do what others do. He can only complete What I can do.” Ferguson waved his hand, “I’m not blaming you, you’ve done a great job, and it’s already exceeded my expectations, but even if you’ve done a very good job, you’ll find that there are better ways to do it. You’re pushing yourself to make progress and continue to improve yourself.”

Lou van der Rey did think so, like he wasn't as happy after winning the European Cup because he found himself carrying more pressure on his shoulders.I need to keep winning with this team, keep winning, keep winning.

Seeing Aarau's expression was a little dazed, Ferguson still paused the topic.He suddenly brought up this topic, perhaps because the boy’s expression when he told himself that he was injured in the locker room that day was extremely ugly. Even thinking about it now, he trembled a little, but in fact at that time he also felt that Manchester United’s goalkeeper position Can't do without Rau van der Rey.

Before he knew it, that kid was under too much pressure.

Ferguson, who thought it was just gossip, suddenly talked about such a heavy topic, which made Lou van der Ley a little uncomfortable.Standing in the dressing room after training, he casually asked Giggs beside him, "So, who will our opponent be in the next game?"

Giggs frowned and thought for a while, and his face became even more ugly when he came up with the answer, "Ah, oh, Arsenal at Highbury Stadium."

In the Battle of Highbury on February 2, Manchester United played away against Arsenal.

"We haven't been able to beat Arsenal away in seven years!" Lou van der Ley said with emotion. There was a feeling in his tone that Giggs didn't quite understand. In fact, most of the seven years of away games were A 0-0 draw, you can't blame Lou van der Rey, but so what?That doesn't change the fact that it's as cruel as Lou Van Dray said.

It has been seven years since Manchester United failed to beat Arsenal away.

Lao Vandre stretched his waist, but he stared at the lights on the roof in a daze. If you look closely, you will find that it is not in focus, "Aha, seven years." No matter how you say it, this record cannot be let Go on.

stress reliever?Although I know that Boss has good intentions, but in fact, it is a bit unrealistic at this time.

The player tunnel of the two teams at Highbury Stadium is full of gunpowder. After so many years, whenever Roy Keane and Vieira get together, it will be such a tense atmosphere.There is no one in the Gunners who is particularly familiar with Lou van der Ley, and even Bergkamp, ​​he does not have a deep friendship with the ice prince.After all, when he successfully got the main position of the Netherlands, the 35-year-old Bergkamp was not even selected into the Dutch national team lineup.

Following the referee's whistle and the endless boos and curses behind him, Lou van der Ley glanced at Ferguson, who was waiting in full force on the sidelines, and devoted all his attention to the game. middle.

A goalkeeper, what he needs to do is to try his best to save every shot that comes towards his defensive goal, and only in this way can he ensure his team wins.

When Arsenal took a corner kick to the feet of Vieira in the Manchester United penalty area, Vieira hit the goal with a powerful shot, which seemed to be an excellent position in the far corner of the goal.Lao van der Ley has long been used to such imminent crises one after another. In the eyes of everyone, the Dutchman made a flying save. His figure seemed to be fully stretched in the air, and the football hit his glove. When he saw that he was about to bounce back to the penalty area, what shocked everyone was that Lou van der Ley, this guy abruptly adjusted his hand shape and lifted the ball off the crossbar in less than a few seconds of reaction time.

Vieira's footsteps trying to make up the shot moved a few steps forward a little bit, and looked at the Manchester United goalkeeper who was slowly getting up from the goal in disbelief.In the collective cheers of the Manchester United fans who came to the stadium, the failure of this attack was announced.

Ferguson watched the scene from the sidelines, and Queiroz beside him applauded happily. Although Ferguson was celebrating excitedly at the beginning, his expression after that was a little hard to discern.

However, less than half an hour after the start of the game, the goal of this game came.It was Arsenal who scored the goal, but it was the fellow of the Manchester United goalkeeper, the Dutchman Bergkamp.The veteran celebrated to the cheers of the Arsenal fans as Arsenal took the lead.

However, this advantage did not last long. As Wayne Rooney passed the defense of the Arsenal defender and passed the football to Giggs in front of the goal, the goal seemed so simple.Seeing that it was the halftime break, Cristiano drove straight down after receiving a long pass from Keane, and shot from a small angle when blocked by the defender. He frantically raised his index finger in front of his mouth, and this celebration was even more impressive. It was the collective boos of the fans at Highbury Stadium.

In the second half, Giggs assisted Ronaldo to expand the advantage to 3:1. With less than 10 minutes left in the game, Van Persie brought the football and Ronaldo down to the Arsenal penalty area at the same time.He thought that this was Ronaldo's double goal, and in Lehman's surprised eyes when he saw that he had chosen to block, he kicked the football to Ronaldo.

"Goalkeeper! Goalkeeper! Goalkeeper! Whatareyoudoing!" the live commentator exclaimed.

That was Cristiano Ronaldo's first official hat-trick for Manchester United and his best performance since joining Manchester United.

Since then, the 20-year-old boy has started his difficult road to survival in British football where praise and criticism almost coexist.
