[Football] The Light of Abandoned Sons

"The game is over, and there will be a fierce penalty shootout." Martin Taylor looked at the players on both sides of the court. "The current score of this game is 1-1. In the 43rd minute of the game, the newly joined Manchester United Sheringham assisted. Ronnie Johansson, then Italian veteran Vialli equalized in the 73rd minute."

"Speaking of the Charity Shield, Manchester United can be said to be the team that has won the cup the most times." Andy Gray looked at the information in his hand, "The Charity Shield was between 1908-1974, and the format of the game was a decisive victory. , A tie will result in a penalty kick. In the 1975-1993 tie for the championship, if the two sides draw within 90 minutes, they will jointly win the championship and each retain the Charity Shield trophy for 6 months. In 1993, the penalty kick The decider was brought back and it was the same year United won on penalties after drawing 1 with Arsenal."

"It looks like Manchester United has a higher chance of winning in theory?" Martin listened to the series of data and looked at the extremely obvious data, "But it is true that Schmeichel, as a world-class goalkeeper, although he is old, But he has always been a good saver of penalty kicks. Chelsea's De Goyer is not good at saving penalty kicks. It should be said that this is a common characteristic of Dutch goalkeepers? Many times the Dutchman fell in front of penalty kicks, and he could only comfort himself No loss."

"Leaving the World Cup without losing? This is really another level of sadness."

Andy Gray found that his partner didn't want to talk about the kid on the Manchester United bench all the time, "Martin, the one you're talking about about Manchester United..." He flipped through the information, "Ah, Lawvandelei, you can tell it's the Netherlands at a glance. People, are you interested?"

Martin shrugged, "I'm very curious about Ferguson choosing a child after so many choices. He couldn't choose him because he looks like Beckham?" He finished speaking. , the two laughed together.Andy continued to shake his head and said, "Actually, he is the starting goalkeeper of the European Youth Championship in the Netherlands, and his evaluation is very high...The Dutch media generally believe that he can take over Van der Sar's class in the future."

And the game on the field started again, and Chelsea served first.Everyone at Manchester United watched the situation on the pitch with burning eyes. After all, no one has any reason to give up a championship after fighting here.

Zola stood at the penalty. The Italian, who always brought Chelsea victories, was not a spiritual leader.Maybe it’s because he’s encountered almost all superstars with peerless martial arts: Naples has Maradona, even if his status declines due to shoveling, drug use, and promiscuous sex, the Argentine can still suppress the 23-year-old Zola. On the bench; the national team has Roberto Baggio, not to mention being sentenced to a red card after only playing 10 minutes. In 94, Italy against the "African Eagle" Nigeria was the first and last World Cup game he participated in.

He is too modest by nature, that is, he lacks the so-called leadership temperament. It is this lack of slightest difference that makes Zola, who actually has leadership ability, almost never really obtain his leadership position.

Yes, he was never a good leader.

He remembered that Vialli, who is also an Italian, asked himself, "Do you want to win this game?" He said to himself, there are enough shadows of superstars in this life, the Manchester United goalkeeper in front of him, even if he is in the eyes of many people Has retreated to the peak, even if this game is just a simple warm-up match.But it has been hard work to this point, shouldn't this group of damn Manchester United people become losers?

Is this just the Charity Shield?But until now, who cares if it's just a warm-up game?

The penalty kick was taken overnight.

Chelsea v Manchester United, 1:0.

Manchester United took the lead with Beckham, who is also excellent in positioning the ball. Perhaps if Roy Keane is not a central defender, he should play as the future spiritual leader of Manchester United.But there is no possibility, the camera of the stadium swept across the face of the blond man, and the usual gentle smile finally disappeared at this moment. His swaying body is his unique posture, and the football shot into the upper left corner from a tricky angle, Degoyer Not even the slightest reaction. 1:1

Lao van der Ley looked at Vialli who came on the field, and Beckham who had just scored a penalty kick, but was suddenly called to his side by Ferguson.He looked at the old man who was clearly staring at the court with some doubts, and Ferguson asked, "What were you looking at just now?"

"The running and rhythm of their penalty kick..." Aarau subconsciously replied, but saw Ferguson frowned, "Is this what your youth coach told you? Observe the running pace and rhythm of the penalty shooter? "

"...and subtle body language...yes, my youth training coach told me." Alao pursed his lips, not feeling that there was anything wrong.

This time, Ferguson turned his head to look at the kid, who was still unconvinced, "You did a good job, but kid, you have to know that in penalty shootouts, whether the audience wants to believe it or not, the protagonist is always the goalkeeper. .”

Cheers sounded on the field, and Lou van der Ley looked over and found that the game had ended.The penalty shootout was 2-4, and Manchester United won.

Seeing the bewildered look on Aarau's face, Phil Neville also saw that he was called to give a lecture just now, "Vialli scored a goal, but both Di Matteo and Wise's penalties were saved by Peter. "

Ferguson walked up to Gullit and shook hands with him, "You did a good job, you must know that players and coaches are completely different." Gullit's rebelliousness as a player was replaced by a wry smile on his face, but he still said, "You can only Said that Manchester United's initial preparations were better than Chelsea's, not to mention the open game ended in a draw."

Ferguson thought that if he didn't say a word, he wouldn't want to choke him, "but if Chelsea can't even beat Manchester United in the early preparations, do you still make me look forward to meeting after halfway?" After all, Chelsea's weakness in the second half is well known.

Gullit's face was flushed with anger, but he knew that Manchester United's head coach is a man who likes to win on and off the field. The Dutchman, who has always adhered to the concept of "not fighting for steamed buns and fighting for breath", kept his mouth shut. After all, the facts are in front of him. , No one wants to lose and lose.He looked at his players walking back with their heads bowed, and he couldn't even encourage them to raise their heads proudly, which is the usual gesture of winners when they lose.

Gullit, Zola, Vialli, and even Di Matteo and Wise, the indirect culprits of the team's failure, may all have this idea, when will Chelsea stand at the top of the Premier League, or Say, when will it let the world remember its name?

Maybe God will tell them that when Gullit left Chelsea and Vialli left after taking over as the head coach, the midfielder Poyes was taken away from Chelsea by the hot Tottenham Hotspur at the time. He was sold to Leicester City cheaply by then Chelsea coach Ranieri.There is such a man who will come to Stamford Bridge. He will make Chelsea famous all over the world. Of course, there are mixed opinions. He will bring Chelsea countless controversies, but he will also bring Chelsea countless honors. (Who knows if I'm talking about Uncle Psy or Abu~~~)

On the other side, Schmeichel, who had saved two penalties, was surrounded by Flagship Street. The Dane, who had experienced countless big scenes, even shrugged his shoulders calmly, "As I said, midfielders are not suitable. Take a penalty kick." Reminiscent of Chelsea's penalty kick saved by two midfielders, and Schmeichel himself actually said this sentence, the reporters and the Manchester United people who passed by laughed.

This goalkeeper is so good, he is so good that the team supporters applaud when they see him on the field, he is so good that his teammates trust him unconditionally when they see him guarding the goal, he is so good that he can make the head coach confident before seeing the end Take him as an example for younger generations.

Even if his halo fades, he is still the patron saint of Manchester United.

Lao van der Rey watched all this from the sidelines, and even came to the stage to toast as a substitute player. Only one sentence echoed in his brain, the only sentence: On that day, the three Dutchmen on and off the field all became losers.

-

On the return journey, Lou van der Ley was surprisingly quiet, as if he had returned to the way he had just arrived in Manchester.But Beckham was uncharacteristically talkative, so there was a lot of silence in the carriage.

The silence lasted until Beckham and Aarau walked into the garden. Beckham looked at the Labrador running towards him, and Aarau had squatted down, "Hey Mixiu, come here baby."

Beckham suddenly felt that Gary and the others were right, it sounded so obvious Missyou.

Just thinking about it, watching the boy talk to Mi Xiu in a deliberately amplified voice, "Honey, why is your father suddenly unhappy?"

Beckham thought to himself that this brat can still see that he is unhappy?Not easy.He said, "Who is his father!?"

Alao raised his head in a daze, "I..."

Beckham felt that he had been shot by an arrow in the chest, and he just wanted to hold the little devil's head and hit the ground with a big meal!

A meal dun dun dun!

That's my dog ​​my dog!

I am its daddy I am its daddy!

"You ask a dog why you are unhappy?" Beckham's mouth twitched slightly, seeing the kid nodding solemnly, and then he had an epiphany, "Ah, I should ask Mi Xiu why you are unhappy..."

Beckham wanted to nod subconsciously, and suddenly thought—what does this kid mean, is it normal to ask a dog why I am unhappy?

...I can't let him play with Ryan anymore, the little husky will turn into a little wolf dog of Mo Ran if we continue to play!

Beckham sighed, turned his head and walked into the house, followed by Lou Vandre, and Michelle followed obediently.

After changing his shoes, Beckham sat on the sofa and waited for no one to come. He turned his head and saw the Dutch boy at the door wiping the Labrador's paws with a towel dipped in warm water. The latter followed Aarau's words meekly. He raised his leg and rubbed the cheek of the kid who was half squatting down from time to time.

Beckham's heart softened, and when the boy sat on the carpeted floor with the Labrador in his arms, he could no longer hold his face.

The author has something to say:

In the 94 season, because Manchester United had no chance, Ferguson loaned Beckham to Preston.

Schmeichel did say that midfielders are not fit to take penalties.

... Everyone knows that the Dutch don't know how to save penalty kicks. Hahaha, I was stunned to know that the Netherlands won the penalty kick in the World Cup in Brazil!
