Episode [004]: The Encounter of the King of the Small Restricted Area

In Paris, France, in a cafe near the Stade de France.

The ones sitting opposite Zhong Cheng were not Isabella George, Christina and others, but to be precise, the ones sitting in front of him were two men.

Two Dutch men!

One is Ruud van Nistelrooy, the man now known as the king of the wicket, and the other is his fellow agent Roger Lindsay.

Yes, he came here to meet Ruud van Nistelrooy before leaving France for Hawaii.

To be honest, they are not better.

Instead, Ruud van Nistelrooy happened to be watching the game here and met Zhong Cheng.

To be honest, Ruud van Nistelrooy was very unhappy at Manchester United this season. His chances of playing in Manchester United are getting less and less. He cannot get any trust here.

More importantly, he felt that he was cheated by Ferguson.

In fact, at the end of last season, he just wanted to leave.

At that time, there were many teams chasing him, such as Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Real Madrid, etc., and Van Nistelrooy himself had contact with Real Madrid, but Real Madrid was not very good at that time. Willing to give Van Nistelrooy a transfer fee of 35 million pounds.

Before that, he was determined to leave Manchester United.

Because a long time ago, there was a gap and conflict between him and Ferguson.

The reason for the conflict between Van Nistelrooy and Ferguson is Cristiano Ronaldo.

Zhong Cheng had read Ferguson's autobiography in his previous life, and Ferguson had personally inherited it. The conflict between him and Ruud van Nistelrooy originated from Cristiano Ronaldo. Because before that, Van Nistelrooy had a conflict with Cristiano Ronaldo.

In other words, Ruud van Nistelrooy has a lot of grievances about David Beckham's departure.

Because, Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham play completely two extreme styles. One is to use superb footwork to accurately send the football to his feet in the penalty area as soon as he has the ball, and he can use the most comfortable way to score. And the other one sticks the football to his feet all the time, as if he wants to pass eleven opponents by himself, and then he sends the football into the opponent's goal by himself. What's wrong with Van Nistelrooy? Son?

Cristiano Ronaldo in his youth was full of problems and had many problems. Ruud van Nistelrooy does not deny that Cristiano Ronaldo is a genius, but what he cannot tolerate is using his peak period to cultivate another genius, while he is soy sauce in the growth period of this genius, wasting his career .

He Van Nistelrooy is not young anymore, this is the golden age of his career, during this period of time, he naturally hopes that the teammates around him are some mature teammates, some who can work for a common goal Teammates who work hard together, instead of having fun on the court, teasing opponents, and using their dazzling skills to please fans or their teammates.

At the beginning, Ferguson mentioned it to Ruud van Nistelrooy, asking him to teach Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo more and be their mentor. Ruud van Nistelrooy did indeed do this, he often pointed out Cristiano Ronaldo and others.

Rooney can endure it, and Rooney also thinks that Ruud van Nistelrooy is right, the old man has experience and can save him some detours. But Cristiano Ronaldo's character can't accept this. He thinks you Ruud van Nistelrooy are not qualified to preach to him.

The pride of genius cannot tolerate Van Nistelrooy like this.

Maybe once or twice can be tolerated, but I am already impatient, even very angry. Later, Cristiano Ronaldo, a genius with great personality, couldn't bear it anymore. Who are you Tamar? Why are you preaching this and that in my ear? Don't I understand? Need you to teach?

Once again, facing Van Nistelrooy's preaching, Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded Van Nistelrooy on the spot, making Van Nistelrooy unable to step down, and the relationship between the two became bad.

Ruud van Nistelrooy feels he has no need to say much about Cristiano Ronaldo. Then he went straight to Ferguson, often talking to Ferguson about Cristiano Ronaldo's shortcomings.

Ruud van Nistelrooy didn't mean to make a small report, he just hoped that Ferguson could come forward and let the kid Cristiano Ronaldo settle down, at least follow the tactics in the game, instead of sticking to the ball alone and trying to pass drop the whole world...

However, in Ferguson's eyes, Van Nistelrooy became a small report, and it was Van Nistelrooy who was speaking ill of Cristiano Ronaldo.

As a result, Ferguson had a bad impression of Van Nistelrooy. Moreover, the more times Van Nistelrooy did, he felt that there was something wrong with Van Nistelrooy's character.

In fact, there is still a reason for Ferguson's assistant Queiroz to make this happen.

Queiroz is a Portuguese. He and Cristiano Ronaldo are compatriots. When the young Cristiano Ronaldo came to England, Queiroz took great care of Cristiano Ronaldo. Many people in the Manchester United team joked Queiroz is the father of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Queiroz is naturally towards Cristiano Ronaldo. Queiroz must have said good things about Cristiano Ronaldo in Ferguson's ear, maybe he didn't say bad things about Van Nistelrooy, but the underlying meaning is obvious.

Queiroz is Ferguson's close assistant, and Cristiano Ronaldo represents the future of Manchester United, and Van Nistelrooy is faintly out of control. It is of course clear how to choose Ferguson when he falls to the ground.

Ferguson, who has such a strong desire for control, was able to send away David Beckham and Roy Keane. What is it to send away Ruud van Nistelrooy?

Therefore, very early in Ferguson's heart, he had already made a choice.

One of the things that made Ferguson decide to sell Van Nistelrooy last season was something that happened in a training match that week. Cristiano Ronaldo's father had just passed away, Cristiano Ronaldo The mood is very good, and brought this youth training to training.

In the training match at that time, Cristiano Ronaldo's feet were not serious or heavy, and many Manchester United players were taken aback. After Van Nistelrooy was violated, he couldn't tolerate Cristiano Ronaldo, so he shoveled Cristiano Ronaldo in retaliation.

Cristiano Ronaldo was furious at the time, and the two started fighting.

Van Nistelrooy said at the time: "What do you want to do? Find your father and complain!"

Ruud van Nistelrooy was referring to Manchester United manager Queiroz, not Cristiano Ronaldo's recently deceased father. This was not at the right time. Cristiano Ronaldo was angry at the time, and he rushed up to make another move, but was held back by his teammates.

At that time, Queiroz was very angry and very angry.

Queiroz and Ferguson talked about this, but perhaps only Queiroz himself knows what he said. But after that, Ferguson hated Van Nistelrooy even more, and the conflict between the two became even worse.

Even, that night, Ferguson approached Manchester United CEO David Gill, bluntly saying that he would sell Ruud van Nistelrooy after the end of the season.

However, at that time, Manchester United's price for Van Nistelrooy was 35 million pounds, but few people could pay this price. And after David Gill's persuasion, Ferguson decided to keep Van Nistelrooy for one season.

However, Ruud van Nistelrooy had made up his mind to go.

Even put pressure on the club, he wants to go to Real Madrid.

Obviously, Manchester United will not agree, unless Real Madrid wants to become a monk to 35 million pounds. The Real Madrid club has retreated. Although their image is that of being taken advantage of, they are not willing to pay so much money.

At this time, Ferguson came forward again. Ferguson told Van Nistelrooy that Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and others are all geniuses, and the future must be very bright. Ferguson hopes that Van Nistelrooy will teach and help these children grow up as an elder.

Ruud van Nistelrooy was naturally unwilling to do so much, since he had done so before. But how did the bad boy Cristiano Ronaldo respond to him? A hot face with a cold butt? He doesn't want to.

Secondly, Ruud van Nistelrooy has his own football dreams and pursuits. He is older now, and he is in the golden peak period. At this time, he naturally wants to pursue more honors, instead of wasting his peak period on training new players, which is unfair to him.

Van Nistelrooy said no at the time, he didn't agree. He talked about his pursuit. He hopes that he can pursue more honors in his peak period, whether it is personal or team. He does not want to spend another year or two to support their young teammates and help them Growing up, because his peak period is just one or two years, and he thinks he can do more meaningful and pursuing things in his peak period.

Besides, Van Nistelrooy is not someone's father, he has no such obligation.

In order to keep Van Nistelrooy, Ferguson said something like this at the time: "Well, let me tell you, I plan to sign some players this summer to help us return to the top. I don't want to fail in the final, and I don't want to lose. The league title. It takes patience to rebuild the team, I need patience and you players need patience. Believe me, we will return to the top of Europe."

Hearing this, Van Nistelrooy reluctantly nodded, and he agreed to stay.

However, in this season, Manchester United really did not have any strong signings. At that time, Ruud van Nistelrooy knew that he was cheated, and after the start of the new season, his appearances almost became less and less, even after the winter transfer, he was not Ferguson on the bench The first choice, and he has to be ranked behind Vidic, who have only been transferred for a few days during the winter transfer.

Ruud van Nistelrooy expressed his dissatisfaction many times, and even lost his temper on the bench, facing Ferguson directly.

The conflict between Van Nistelrooy and Ferguson is getting deeper and deeper, and it has reached the verge of violence this summer. Of course Van Nistelrooy wants to leave, and he is determined to leave.
