The day after the bugging scandal emerged, Keane immediately held a press conference and issued a personal statement. ◢Щщш.sUimEnG.lā

In Keane's own statement, two keywords are eye-catching, one is "sad" and the other is "helpless". Keane said it was a sad decision to leave Manchester United, but now it is time to leave.

"This is a sad day for me,"

"I have to leave such a great club and such a great manager. I would like to wish the coaching staff, team-mates, staff and fans all the best."

Obviously, Keane will inevitably feel sad at the moment of farewell. This is a club for which he has struggled for 12 years. He dedicated all the best days of his career to Manchester United.

Although he was sad, Keane seemed very calm. He gave a general reason for leaving the team, that is, he judged that it was time to leave: "I believe that the time has come and it is time for me to leave. It's time to move on. It's been a huge honor for me to play for Manchester United for over 12 years, playing alongside some of the best players in the world and the fans too. The best in the world."

At this point, Keane's departure was no longer shocking, the timing of it happening behind closed doors.

Some time ago, Keane has stated that after his contract with Manchester United ends next summer, he may not renew his contract. But now everyone knows that he will no longer be able to fulfill the contract and will leave in a hurry before the winter transfer window arrives. .

If the bugging scandal hadn't happened, Keane might have survived until the end of the season.

"Alas, there have been too many things recently." Dong Fangzhuo sighed and muttered to himself, sitting on the sofa at his home and watching Keane talking in front of the TV.

Just before Keane held a press conference, he had already called Dong Fangzhuo to inform him. Dong Fangzhuo knew that when Keane reached this point, there would be no room for maneuver.

Although everyone knows that Keane is leaving the team, the only people Keane can inform in advance are probably Ferguson and him...

He was grateful for Keane's trust in him, but he was powerless against everything Keane did.

Although Keane and Sir Alex had a heated argument in the dressing room, Ferguson still accompanied Keane to the press conference.

The relationship between master and disciple is really unpredictable.

Ferguson results microphone,

His tone became much gentler than contempt, and he had a kind smile on his face. It was hard to imagine the scene of heated arguments in the locker room just a few days ago...

Ferguson prepared a piece of scratch paper, and his expression returned to seriousness. However, he just opened the scratch paper, folded it again and put it in his pocket.

It seems that for all Keane's time at Manchester United, there was no need to draft such a vulgar line.

"Roy Keane is gone,"

"Manchester United bid farewell to their great captain,"

"For the past 12 and a half years, the powerful Irishman has been the core strength of the Red Devils, with countless glory and brilliance in his legendary career..."

"People will never forget the glorious year of 1999. In that year's Champions League, Roy led Manchester United on an exciting journey. Do you still remember the second leg of the semi-final with Juventus?"

"In Turin, when Inzaghi scored twice and turned the total score into 3-1, it was Roy who stood up and his header kicked off the first shot of the Red Devils' counterattack. Subsequently, Yorke and Co Er's goal went ahead and Manchester United staged an incredible comeback on the way to the final."

"Keane's header against Juventus was the turning point in the entire competition for Manchester United. However, in the end, he did not get the opportunity to personally touch the trophy. He used his body to pave the way for Manchester United to get on the podium."

Ferguson spoke very slowly, mumbling in a low voice.

The press conference was quiet, and it was as if Ferguson was recalling Keane's life, not just his Manchester United career.

Keane had been sitting upright, not squinting. His eyes were still so determined. The camera kept trying to capture the changes in his eyes, but was disappointed that there were no changes. Want to see tears in his eyes?

No, he's Roy Keane.

Although his heart was already turbulent at this time, he still had a calm face like a warrior.

"People are always happy to recall famous figures such as Cantona and Beckham, but those who really know Manchester United know that Keane is the most indispensable cornerstone of this team. Keane is the most important player in Manchester United in the past 10 years. player, this is absolutely true, in a sense, Keane is the real soul of Manchester United."

This is the highest praise for Keane...

The camera captured Keane's face again, but he was still very quiet...

"Hi, boy..."

Sir Alex Ferguson hugged Keane affectionately at the end. In Ferguson's eyes, Keane will always be a child, not just the captain of Manchester United...

A few hours after Manchester United announced the termination of Keane's contract, Beckham, who was preparing for the battle with Barcelona in Spain, expressed his attitude. He was shocked by the decision of his old club and even thought of his own departure from Manchester United. situation at the time.

Beckham originally thought that Keane would end his career at Manchester United, but this sudden change surprised him.

"I was very shocked that he left," Beckham said in an interview with Reuters. "I originally thought he would stay at Manchester United for a few more years and maybe go directly into the coaching staff and start a coaching career."

Not long ago, when I heard that Keane was interested in leaving at the end of the season, Beckham said that Keane was one of the popular candidates for Manchester United's future coach. However, just two weeks later, things took an unexpected turn. develop.

"Of course this is his own decision and everyone must respect him, but this is really sudden," Beckham said.

When he moved to Real Madrid in 2003, some people thought that Manchester United had driven him away. Now Keane's experience makes him sigh with emotion. "Life is like that sometimes, you never know what's going to happen tomorrow and I was surprised when I left Manchester United, where I thought I would stay longer."

However, Beckham did not continue to mention the transfer dispute that year. He praised Keane's achievements at Manchester United. "In his 12 years at Manchester United, he has won everything in his career at the club and the respect and respect he has received has come from his peers, both his teammates and opponents."

Beckham also recalled that Keane's influence on his teammates was huge. "I played with him for so many years at Manchester United and he was the most influential captain and player I ever played with, a true leader."

"I think Keane's influence is greater than anyone else, every game, no matter what he asks us to do, we respond. One day, he will be a manager and I think whatever he does Whatever you do, you will achieve great results.”

"The last big boss of the Premier League is leaving..."

"What's the meaning?"

"Isn't it? Vieira, Shearer, Keane..."

"Who will be the next captain of Manchester United?"

"I think it's... Dong."
