Chapter 138: Refusing to Give Up (First update, please vote for me)

Chen Yingxiong's goal completely ended the suspense of this game. Manchester United's home court was once again captured by Liverpool. This time it was even more clean. Manchester United did not even score a goal. The latest chapter of the Holy Temple

The score never changed until the final whistle sounded.

2:0, Liverpool defeated the Premier League hegemon Manchester United in the away game - at least at this time, Manchester United is still the hegemon. Liverpool is just a challenger, an attacker.

As soon as the game ended, Chen Yingxiong was surrounded by reporters. He was the best player in the game. There was no doubt that the reporters wanted to hear how he compared to beating Manchester United at home twice in a row. Interesting thoughts.

"I'm very happy." Chen Yingxiong told reporters while holding the champagne symbolizing the best player in a single game. "Being able to beat Manchester United is a great thing, beating them at their home ground is even more amazing, and being able to beat them at their home court twice in a row is even more amazing!"

This answer was too standard. The reporters were not satisfied and started making noises, asking Chen Yingxiong to answer again.

It can be seen from here how good Chen Yingxiong is today - facing the pressuring reporters, he did not glare, then turned around and left with a huff, he just smiled and said: "Well, now it's our turn to knock them off their throne!"

This time, this is the answer that reporters want to hear that is in line with Chen Yingxiong’s characteristics!

How arrogant, but this is the taste!

In fact, this is what many reporters are thinking.

Two consecutive games have proved that Manchester United has begun to step down from the throne, and the decline of the dynasty has become an unstoppable historical trend.

In fact, any dynasty has its ups and downs, but Manchester United's dynasty lasted for an exceptionally long time - the first year of the Premier League lasted until the end of last season.

Although several rebellions or uprisings occurred during this period, none of them shook the foundation of this dynasty. Whether it was Blackburn Rovers, Arsenal, or Chelsea, they were either brutally suppressed by Manchester United or destroyed the Great Wall. (《》)

In this way, although this dynasty has gone through ups and downs, it has remained standing for a full twenty-one years, which is rare in world football.

But now it has finally come to an end, which is also the law of nature. But without Liverpool's strong rise, maybe this time would have been postponed for a few more years? It won't happen until after Ferguson retires...

But no one knows the answer now.

They watched Manchester United go from greatness to decline - just before they lost the league title last season, they were the kings and overlords who won the league title for three consecutive years.

Suddenly, it collapsed, and the bricks and stones on the city wall began to collapse one after another, like a castle made of sand.

Everyone really watched him build a tall building, watched him entertain guests, and watched his building collapse...

Chen Yingxiong had already left, and the reporters packed up and rushed to the press conference.

Martin O'Neill's press conference was brief. Although he was the winner at Old Trafford, he could never be the protagonist.

Because there is only one protagonist in this dream theater - Sir Alex Ferguson.

Martin O'Neill made some comments on the game. He believed that the team's victory was natural and reasonable. He also praised the team's performance. Finally, he made an evaluation of his opponent Manchester United.

"I can't say that Manchester United has started to decline. The victory or defeat of one or two games cannot explain anything. Even if we win the league title this season, Manchester United is still strong and our biggest enemy. I will never underestimate it. Such an enemy."

Then he left.

Ferguson appeared in front of everyone a few minutes later.

When he entered the press conference, everyone stared at his face, wishing that their eyes were magnifying glasses or microscopes, but they couldn't find any clues on Ferguson's face to see what kind of person he was now. mood. ""

But they were disappointed. Ferguson's old face had many wrinkles and age spots, but the things they expected to see were missing.

Ferguson sat down in his seat and began to speak without waiting for reporters to ask questions.

"If you want me to admit defeat, I'm sorry to disappoint you. This is just a failure in a game and has no other meaning. There is no logic in the outcome of a game. We compete throughout the game. They both had the advantage, and they only had two decent attacks before they scored... I can only say that we were better than them in everything in this game, except luck."

Ferguson is still stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat.

The reporters in the audience looked at each other. As expected, this stubborn old man was still so tough.

But can his toughness revive United?

A reporter raised his hand, but Ferguson did not give him a chance to ask questions. He stood up and said, "That's the end of today's press conference. Goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the press conference.

A group of reporters looked at each other, but they were not surprised, because this is Ferguson's style!

He never looks good on reporters, especially when he is in a bad mood.

Everyone therefore concluded that Ferguson was not as calm as he appeared, and was actually very unhappy.

This is enough. We reporters are free to express the rest, as long as the theme and idea are correct.

※※※

Ferguson certainly knew what the reporters were thinking and doing when he left the press conference.

He has been the manager of Manchester United for more than 20 years, and he is very familiar with these reporters. These reporters are full of bad ideas and there is no good news at all!

The next day's newspapers and news columns were bound to be filled with voices badmouthing himself and Manchester United. Maybe it’s time for my retirement to be “on the agenda” again.

How ridiculous.

Chelsea had won the league championship for two consecutive seasons. Why didn't these people dare to say that Manchester United was finished at that time?

Because at that time I was not as old as I am now.

But now I don’t feel that I am old either.

Ferguson took unhurried but determined steps and completely left the press conference, leaving behind the reporters who were planning him.

He won't pay attention to what the media says.

Manchester United, and Sir Alex Ferguson, have never been in the habit of admitting defeat.

Manchester United, and Sir Alex Ferguson, should hold their heads high no matter what.

In fact, there was no need to wait until the next day. That night, the entire England was discussing the focus showdown that had just ended.

On TV, the hosts of various football programs and sports news announcers were talking about the impact of this game.

"...I think Ferguson is old. It is very obvious that he cannot keep up with the times. It is time to step aside and make way for others. If he truly loves Manchester United, he should be like Dalglish and choose to give up because of love instead of like Like a greedy king, he hopes that he can live forever and have sole power forever..."

A guest is talking to the camera.

Turning the channel, a woman dressed as a newscaster said with a professional smile: "Liverpool defeated Manchester United 2:0 in the just-concluded focus game. Manchester United was defeated by Liverpool twice in a row at their home court. Liverpool's top scorer Chen Yingxiong scored twice in the game and became the best on the spot..."

Continuing to turn the channel, Mark Lawrenson, one of the hosts of "Today's Match", smiled happily: "Liverpool is indeed reviving. It's true. This time it's absolutely true. I'm absolutely not wrong - Liverpool is reviving." ! I feel lucky that I can still see this scene in my lifetime..."

Lineker laughed at him from the side: "Mark, are you sure you are really not hacking your former club?"

Turning the channel again, once the football talk show was going on, the host was lashing out at Ferguson: "As a Manchester United fan, being defeated by Liverpool at home twice in a row and being beaten by Liverpool for two consecutive seasons is unacceptable. Who is responsible for the failure of this game? The players? No, they have worked very hard. The club's top management? No, the Glazer family invested heavily in signings this summer. They almost brought him whoever Ferguson wanted. Who...then the answer is obvious, Ferguson should be responsible for this situation..."

The guest also interjected at the right time and expressed support for the host's point of view: "That's right. I'm not questioning Sir Alex Ferguson. He has proven his greatness in the past and he does not need to continue to prove himself. The glorious history explains everything, but we cannot Always living in the glorious history, it is time for Manchester United to move forward... Liverpool is the best example. They have heroes, Bale, Sanchez, Suarez and a group of players who are in their prime. They represent Looking forward to the future. If Manchester United does not reflect on it, they will be further and further away from their mortal enemies!"

Continuing to turn the channel, what appeared was a picture of Manchester United fans being interviewed by reporters outside Old Trafford after the game. A freckled Manchester United fan said frustratedly into the reporter's microphone:

"I'm so sad... This game completely lost our hope of competing for the league championship this season! Who should be responsible for this game?" The fan in the camera was stunned for a moment, and then he was induced by the reporter to say The name reporters most want to hear. "I think it should be Ferguson, yes Ferguson! He is old, he should give up his position to a younger coach... I think Mourinho is pretty good, I hope he comes to coach Manchester United. Yes. With him, we will definitely be able to beat Liverpool again..."

…

There were many such voices this night, and they were like a turbulent undercurrent rushing towards Ferguson, the real king of Manchester United, trying to pull him off his throne.

But this night, Ferguson was sleeping soundly with his wife at his home.
