[Football] The Light of Abandoned Sons

When Lou van der Ley was finally released from the office by Ferguson, the rest of the team had already left.Carrying his bag on his back, Arau paused as he walked towards the parking lot, and turned in another direction.

He looked at everything in front of him that he could describe with his eyes closed, took out his phone and turned on the recording.

"Dense forests, narrow paths, spitting in the direction of a certain former Carrington base, and then turning through an intersection and entering the real Carrington base." This is basically what Lou van der Ley said every training day very beginning.

"Carrington Training Base, the heart of Manchester United." Here in Aarau, it is a sacred place and the source of training nightmares.

"Carrington base, and Manchester City's 'ex' Carrington..." This is the story that every Manchester United man will be popularized.

"There is also the banned entry ceremony that is not used to communicate feelings at all." Alao guessed that it was used to scare people.

"On this training ground, I used to choke Ardano so much that he had nothing to say." Now he thinks of the expression of the German goalkeeper coach and finds it a little funny.

"When the team trained, they were friendly with the rest of the main players." At that time, everyone knew that he had a bright future.

"Although Keane's big gun battle is not good, he has never been completely angry with me." That is an old captain who is really dedicated to his duties.

"The story of Ryan and Gary can be talked for three days and three nights." Our first, second and third captain is a story about a silly white but not sweet and two foxes.

"Looking at David's face, I could actually eat an extra bowl of rice at that time." He never told anyone about this.

"The day Ruud first came, I drove him back and forth on the roads in Manchester in the middle of the night. He came for Manchester United and a better self, and everyone knew it." It's just that Ruud hated driving too much. Slow, and later took control of the steering wheel away.

"Chris, when he came, I actually didn't think he would have that kind of personality. It turns out that he survived the trough and he will become a top superstar." He made Old Trafford's red No. [-] name last forever broadcast.

"Wayne..." What can I do if I want to laugh when I think of that little bomb!

"Alan, I've called him that kid that kid for so many years." Actually, he wasn't much older than him.

"Okay, the memories of Manchester United..." Before he finished speaking, the sound of footsteps behind him made him turn his head to look, and the panting Robin van Persie came into view. Aarau couldn't find him except this guy Don't worry about your second answer.

Van Persie looked at Lou van der Ley, his whole body was in a kind of indifference and peace that he had not seen for a long time, as if all the troubles had been figured out, his eyes moved to the mobile phone that was still recording in his hand, and he stretched out his hand.Arau shrugged helplessly but did not refuse, handing it into his hands.

Van Persie took the phone and played the recording of this person in front of him.The recording was not very clear, but he could hear exactly what the person said, and he could even guess what the person was slandering.Until the end, he said "Okay, the memories of Manchester United" should be the end, Van Persie turned it off silently.

The man in front of Lou van der Ley was always serious and handsome when he was not smiling.Although this person is always a silly, white and sweet image in front of Alao in normal times, in fact, when his aura comes up, he also attracts [-] to [-] people.Van Persie handed the phone back to Aarau, who asked him calmly, "Is this your Manchester United? All the good memories you want to remember?"

Aarau knew what he wanted to ask, and because of this, he actually wanted to laugh a little, but he tried his best to hold back and nodded.

Robin van Persie frowned at Lou van der Ley's reaction, and raised his eyebrows in the next second.This expression seems to be difficult for Aarau, but this guy can always make some expressions on his face that are counterintuitive to Aarau, such as the kind who always likes to puff his cheeks and pout once he scores a goal Described as a 'goldfish mouth', Arau has learned countless times at home but failed, basically it belongs to this guy's stunt.

The goldfish-mouthed rabbit boy who possessed the unique skill that Lawrence van der Ley worshiped asked quietly, "Without me?"

Arau finally couldn't help bursting out laughing, seeing Van Persie's face turn from black to red and then to black again, he finally said, "You are different." How understatement this sentence is, it means so much to Van Persie.

He didn't ask him what he meant by that sentence, nor did he ask him why he decided to leave Manchester United so hastily.In fact, many things are already known without saying anything, but this does not include John Cheletsen who has been worrying about Lao van der Ley all day.

When Çelesen called, Aarau and Van Persie were about to separate in the parking lot. Aarau glanced at the phone and hung up the phone, and Çelesen on the other end felt that all his enthusiasm had been fed to the dog.However, no matter how annoyed Cheletsen was because of his behavior, the agent still had the cheek to call Aarau a few minutes later, and this time Lou van der Rey answered the phone.

【Has Sir Alex talked to you yet? 】Celesen went directly to the topic, and Aarau gave a hum, and then roughly explained what he and Ferguson had said to Cellesen.

【You didn't tell Ferguson the truth. 】Celesen felt that there was something wrong with what he heard just now, but his first reaction was that this kid was hiding the truth from Ferguson again. "I'm telling the truth." Arau replied.

【The reasons you told him are just for him to blame you. 】Celesen finished speaking, and heard the employer sneer, "Am I going to be stupid to say that I am unfamiliar with this team that he has spent so much effort to reshape, from the personnel to the style of play?"

Cheletsen suddenly fell silent, and he asked tentatively for a while, "Wait...wait...you just said, what did you say to Ferguson?"

"Oh, didn't I tell you, I fell in love with someone of the same sex."

The Premier League Christmas schedule often attracts the attention of European football, not only because every game must be a focus battle, but because at this time, other players have already stayed at home or rested in resorts early, and players from other leagues They laughed maliciously watching everyone in the Premier League running around on the pitch tired and out of breath around Christmas.

Really sour, hehehe.

Manchester United's last game in 07 was against their eternal rival Liverpool at their home stadium, Old Trafford.The double-red game in the Christmas game was particularly eye-catching. A few days before the start of the game, various media reported the game in all directions.There are countless versions of speculation about the starting rosters of the two sides, and it always seems more lively before the game than after the game.

But when the starting list announced before the game appeared in front of everyone, the result made people wonder what to say for a while.

Just because Manchester United's starting position is Lou van der Rey, who has been firmly pressed on the bench for several months.And the armband, which symbolized the captain on the field, was on the Dutchman's arm.

The on-site commentators were fried because of this unexpected change, and they began to speculate that Lou van der Ley seemed to have finally completed his contract renewal with Manchester United.Standing next to Aarau in the player tunnel is Liverpool captain Gerrard. The two looked straight ahead with serious expressions. In fact, Gerrard was quietly asking the people beside him without moving his lips, "So, are you convinced?"

When did Aarau's first reaction start? The two captains of Manchester United and Liverpool were able to be so harmonious.But after thinking about it, since Vieira and Keane left Arsenal and Manchester United respectively, these two teams have lost the strong smell of gunpowder before, so they reluctantly accepted, "I didn't admit it." It's not that it's changed to attack psychological warfare again.

Gerald frowned instantly because of this answer, and the deeper forehead lines made him look older.Alao raised his eyebrows, thinking that I need to win a victory no matter what, and this is not a trick, he said to Gerrard in a rather cryptic manner, "I really feel a little bit, my first game in Laos Trafford plays for Liverpool."

Gerrard didn't care about whether there was still a camera sweeping over, he turned his head to look at Lou van der Rey with a look of shock on his face.The people behind the two men couldn't hear what the two men said at all, except that Aarau unexpectedly threw Gerald with some unbelievable trash talk.Van Persie kept staring at the man at the front of the line, and he sighed helplessly when he saw this, "Chris, did you know that Aarau gave you that rabbit?"

Ronaldo looked blankly at his friend who suddenly mentioned this matter, "Hasn't he been kept in my house for more than a year? I thought Van was already my rabbit..." After he finished talking about Van Persie Hardly seeing the strange guarded look on his face, Van Persie rolled his eyes at him, "So in this game, can you cooperate with me and let me score a goal?"

Ronaldo blinked and was a little too late to react. Although there was no problem, "Did you prepare any special celebration?" Seeing him nodding, Ronaldo asked, "Have you told Wayne?"

Regardless of the plans of the trident in the frontcourt, when Lao van der Ley walked out of the player tunnel and stepped onto the Old Trafford stadium, what he heard would always be deafening cheers.

You may not imagine how much the fans of this team love him.

He accompanied the team from the peak to the trough, and then to the peak now.He made this team able to compete for the championship despite a poor lineup and an unstable team. In the eyes of many people, he contributed the most to accompany Manchester United to the 06 European Championship.

Six league titles, two Champions League titles, a Club World Cup, four FA Cups, three League Cups and...

This is the honor he brought to Manchester United in his ten years. Lou van der Ley has a word clearly engraved on him, not champion, but Manchester.

Many years ago, he was brought to Manchester United by Ferguson with a training fee of 15 euros. At that time, people did not pay much attention to this genius who was given up by Real Madrid.It wasn't until he won the World Youth Championship and the Champions League that his name was gradually known to fans other than the Premier League.After many years of game polishing, this jewel that could have belonged to Castilla has blossomed in Manchester with an indelible brilliance. He is called "the law of the field" by the fans because he is the most reliable lock in front of the goal. With one hand to decide the outcome of the game.

At that time, Manchester United's frontcourt had not yet reached the point of being picturesque, and the defense was also bumpy during Ferdinand's suspension, but it was also at that time that he and the Netherlands regained the top of Europe.From that moment on, this former literary boy became a superstar who was molded to near perfection because he attached great importance to his off-court image.

It is this almost perfect man. He has been questioned and discredited in recent months. Some Manchester United fans have followed the trend and criticized him. His image seems to be no longer as perfect as it used to be, but it just seems .

Can't you hear how much United fans in this stadium dote on him?

"Let's see Liverpool's attack! Torres' chance!" The Spanish golden boy who came to Liverpool this season looks so young, he is full of courage and drive, fearless.

The opponent he faces has been in this arena for ten years. Although he is at the best age of a player, inadvertently, whether he can break through Lou van der Ley's goal becomes the criterion for measuring a striker's ability .

"Louis van der Ley! Lau van der Ley! Lau van der Ley! Our law! Our law!" The commentator's voice was a little hysterical. He didn't know why he was so excited. In fact, it was just a shot that threatened the goal.But he couldn't help shouting the name of the Dutchman crazily, as if to tell everyone, look, the goalkeeper in front of the Manchester United goal is our Lou van der Rey.

And the score of this game changed in the second half. Ronaldo took the ball and broke through to the goal. There was his range. No one in Liverpool would have thought that he had the idea of ​​​​shooting.But he just twisted his ankle and knocked the ball to the people around him. Robin van Persie, who basically received a nanny ball, pushed the ball into the net. He ran wildly and lifted his jersey.

Ronaldo rushed over to celebrate with his friends. He put Van Persie's shoulders on his shoulders and saw that there was a white vest in his jersey, "Brother! Brother! There is no writing on your vest!" He shouted in Van Persie's ear , Van Persie nodded, but kept pointing at his chest at the camera, and shouted to Ronaldo, "He will understand, he will understand!"

Before that, he didn't know that Ferguson would replace Aarau, even if this game would be of great significance to Lou van der Ley.Van Persie didn't have time to prepare, but he just believed that he would understand.

Ferguson looked at Van Persie, who was given a yellow card by the referee, angry and funny. At this time, Lou van der Ley was too far away from him, and the camera didn't capture him, otherwise Ferguson really wanted to see what the boy's expression was.

At the end of the game, Manchester United won the game 1-0. Lou van der Ley blocked the opponent. Torres stared at him in front of the goal with some dissatisfaction, and was stroked by Gerrard who came over.Aarau squatted beside the goal and touched the grass. He didn't look up until a pair of shoes stopped in front of his eyes.In front of him was Gerrard, who was dripping with sweat. Aarao looked at him with raised eyebrows, and heard Gerrard's voice, "Are you serious before the game?" He nodded, and in the next second, Gerald with a serious expression began to take off his clothes.

Gerrard's thought of exchanging jerseys startled Arrau, and the next second he broke away from the melancholy just now, and laughed, "You know this will cause public outrage."

"I just know," Gerrard said hoarsely, "that this will be your last game for Manchester United."

Lou Vandre's smile froze on his face.

Aarau's actions just now obviously made people a little puzzled, and even Gerrard's sudden thought of exchanging jerseys made people even more stunned.Alao clicked his tongue, took the armband in his hand, and took off his jersey, "Although I am a mortal enemy, but you are already like this, I won't change with you, isn't it too unreasonable?"

It is absolute news that the captains of Manchester United and Liverpool exchanged jerseys, and Aarau is now trembling with fright even thinking about it.He slung Gerrard's jersey over his shoulders and walked back shirtless.

Van der Sar is the goalkeeper of Manchester United. No one knows the super high level of his compatriot better than him.

It's just that from now on, this is no longer Lou van der Rey's Manchester United.

When Ferguson walked into the locker room, he saw that Aarau had just put on Manchester United's replacement jersey. He looked at the Dutchman who was sitting there quietly, and motioned him to follow him to the post-match press conference.

The two sat down and looked at the flashing light below. This familiar yet unfamiliar scene made Aarau squint his eyes.

Since he came here in the 9798 season, he has been forced into the transfer turmoil since he won the Champions League in the 98-99 season. For ten years, he said every year "I want to protect the goal for Manchester United". The hype-loving media didn't regard it as something that could really happen, but I really wanted to leave.

Lou van der Ley recalled his first heart-to-heart talk with Beckham when he was 17 and before he was famous, he said 'one day he will conquer Old Trafford' and Beckham laughed at him I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth.

The reporters looked at the man in a daze there. This was the first time he gave a press conference after half a year.The handsome man who once impressed the whole world also left a layer of light stubble, looking a bit haggard.Gerrard remained silent, as if he hadn't given any explanation to Carragher's inquiry in the locker room just now. "Convinced by losing to Manchester United", how could this happen?His behavior was purely for an opponent and enemy whom he admired very much. That man who was both an enemy and a friend was in a daze, which caused everyone in the press conference to be silent for a moment and follow him in a daze.

Ferguson looked at him hesitating to speak, and the Dutchman finally showed a smile.I don’t know why, but in today’s Aarau, Ferguson can no longer see his cautiousness in the past few years. He looks very relaxed, as if he has reversed growth overnight, but he was not like this even when he was a minor. character.

"You are very concerned about my future, in order to let you have a good Christmas vacation," Lao van der Ley looked up at the reporters below, and the reporters listened dumbly to the strange words of this man, and then, the man who was once honored as "the judge" The man tried to speak, but he opened his mouth and suddenly forgot what he wanted to say. Ferguson looked at the disciple's rare embarrassment, he sighed, but it turned into a helpless smile.

Who would have expected that this was Lou van der Rey's last game for Manchester United.

"Yes, congratulations." Ferguson played with the bottle cap of the mineral water bottle in his hand, and said casually, "You guys have some hype during the winter break." The stunned looks of the reporters, he just thought that when he was 17 or even younger, Alex Ferguson knew he was a genius who could shock the world.

No transfer deal has been announced with more fanfare than this, Ferguson's meaning is obvious, but Lou van der Ley and Ferguson's posture is like saying "we told you a bad joke".But as Ferguson would have played Lou van der Ley for this game, the old Scot just didn't want him to go quietly.

How many people will blame Lou van der Ley for being sorry for Manchester United, the Dutchman will not explain it.But at least Ferguson can express his position on this matter, saying that this is a peaceful breakup.Believe it or not.

The words caused the reporters below to stand up one after another, the seats made an unpleasant creaking sound, and some even shouted "This is impossible"!

How is this possible!Even if Lou van der Ley really leaves, look at how embarrassed Beckham, Keane and even Ruud van Nistelrooy were in trouble with Manchester United, how could they be so peaceful when they come to him!What a joke!

"Thanks to Aarau for his contribution to Manchester United, countless championship trophies and glory..." Ferguson patted the shoulder of the person beside him, as if what he said just now was a joke, and he would never leave.

Aarau stared at the captain's armband that was not taken off in the dressing room, and the Manchester United team logo that was regarded as an honor by thousands of people.The palms of his hands hidden under the table trembled slightly, and he was unable to answer Ferguson's words. Although he said all the reasons were so logical, he said that he wanted to keep all this in the best memory.

But he was also reluctant. Perhaps the most unconvincing of those reasons was himself.

A man stood up among the reporters, just like his surname, among the reporters in Manchester, he was the most authoritative one.Sterling, who is recognized as a die-hard Manchester United fan, is also the reporter who has the best relationship with Lou van der Ley.He watched the Dutchman, and Aarau didn't know whether he wanted to condemn his escape or blame him for not giving notice.

But none.

Looking at the man, Sterling gripped the microphone and said softly, "You can take a man out of Old Trafford, but you can't take a man out of Old Trafford."

Row van der Rey suddenly raised his hand to cover his eyes, a gaffe never experienced by a man who was always perfect.Even his voice was a little choked up, but he said, "You can't take Old Trafford away from his heart."

It's just that he hasn't had time to conquer Old Trafford.

People all over the world who are paying attention to all this thought that this man was crying, but in the camera, they saw the man who was called a genius and a miracle suddenly smiled, that smile was so bright, mixed with the eternal secularity and innocence, it seemed so Bright and logical, just like his first game for Manchester United at Old Trafford, all it takes is a smile to remember him.Time seems to be extra tolerant to him, never leaving him too many scars.

But it turned out that it has been ten years.

On January 2008, 1, the first transfer that shocked the world was completed in Europe-Lao van der Lei, with a transfer fee of 1 million, joined Bayern Munich.
