Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 212 The International Champions Cup champions, the Ma Brothers, join the new Premier League season!
2018 7 Month 12 Day.

St. Petersburg Stadium.

The Russian World Cup semi-finals are being held here. At this time, the VIP box is filled with stars, mainly retired players from England.

The 5th minute of the game.

England got a free kick at the top of the penalty area. Trippier took the penalty and hit the goal directly. The ball went over the wall and directly into the goal.

The Full Moon Scimitar reappears!

Beckham smiled in memory. Back then, he also used a wonderful free kick to wash away the humiliation and complete his redemption.

"Scott, have you ever thought that if you join the England national team, you can stand in the World Cup?"

Chu Feng teased.

McTominay shrugged indifferently, "Chu, not just you, I can't accept the national anthem of another country being played behind me."

"Manchester City's left wingers are Sterling and Sane, and our Manchester United's left winger is Chu, the best newcomer in the Premier League last season and the winner of the Golden Boot Award. You will be a good partner!"

Mata moved to Barcelona for 3800 million euros, and Rojo moved to Estudiantes of La Plata for 600 million euros.

Ronaldo took away more than just things on the football field. Countless fans followed him from Real Madrid to follow Juventus. He also made next season's Champions League more exciting.

At the age of 23, he joined Leicester City for 50 euros. He is a typical player who rewards hard work. He has worked step by step from the British Championship to the Premier League, and now joins the double champion Manchester United.

No one dislikes honors, and Mahrez is no exception. He hopes to be teammates with stronger people, so that he can maximize his abilities.

Soon the World Cup final officially started, and there were no surprises in the result.

Modric's cross from the left was destroyed by Kyle Walker, Perisic's header flew to the left side of the penalty area, and Mandzukic volleyed forward to complete the goal.

Two days later, Manchester United's official website announced that it had purchased Mahrez and Maguire for a total price of 130 million euros. Chu Feng met the two at the training ground that day.

So he agreed to join Manchester United.

Then 32-year-old Mandzukic, 33-year-old Modric, and 30-year-old Rakitic played Croatian Rhapsody.

Sure enough, in the 68th minute of the game, Fersaliko made a -degree cross, and Perisic volleyed to equalize the score.

Immediately afterwards, Manchester United started the final sale.

When the transfer of the two was finalized, Guardiola became very troubled. Unexpectedly, he failed to recruit people and was intercepted instead.

It's just that Leicester City owner Vichai didn't want to let him go. Xiaozhi emotionally and rationally hoped that Maguire would stay for another season. However, after several long negotiations, Vichai finally chose to respect Maguire. Will.

However, Harry Kane, as England captain, was very enthusiastic and asked implicitly if he would consider changing teams next season. Tottenham would be a very good choice.

Mahrez said seriously.

The 109th minute of the game.

Moreover, England still has many curses, and it is too difficult to compete for the championship.

There are not many excellent right wingers in football nowadays. Manchester City can't find a more suitable candidate for the time being, so they can only boldly use the 18-year-old Foden, and Sane is barely enough.

Finally Croatia advanced to the World Cup finals!

For example, Harry Kane, who is known as the European Chinese team and has a tough life, etc.

Since the 1982 World Cup, every final has featured Inter Milan and Bayern players.

Although they fought for three consecutive overtime games, they still ran with all their strength, using their ability to decide the outcome and their actions to prove their value.

Before the World Cup final three days later, an extremely exciting news came out.

The 20-year-old World Cup winner was bought out by Paris Saint-Germain for 18000 million euros at the end of this season, and he became an unparalleled figure in the limelight.

This is not just the end of a World Cup, but the end of an old era.

After the game, Chu Feng went to comfort his Manchester United teammates and happened to bump into Trippier. They had no communication with each other and turned a blind eye as strangers.

After the World Cup, Chu Feng returned to Manchester and continued to strictly implement the training plan.

Cristiano Ronaldo transferred from Real Madrid to Juventus for 1.05 million euros, and Juventus' stock price rose by nearly 40%.

France 4-2 Croatia Mbappe, Pogba, and Griezmann each scored a goal. In this game, Pogba started as a central midfielder and performed beyond everyone's expectations.

In fact, he hesitated for a long time before choosing Manchester United or Manchester City, but a sentence from Manchester United's recruitment department deeply moved him.

People discovered an interesting pattern.

Chu Feng patted McTominay on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Don't underestimate Croatia's resilience. You must know that they are a group of 'Modric's."

Chu Feng decisively rejected this. He believed that his fate was not as tough as Kane's, and it would be difficult for him to win the championship even with a system.

As for Maguire?
He grew up watching Manchester United games since he was a child, and his heart was already like that of the Red Devils.

Chu Feng saw Maguire standing lonely and thought that his future teammate was quite strong. They must have many topics in common.

People can't help but look forward to the head-to-head confrontation between the two, the 19-year-old Champions League champion VS the 20-year-old World Cup champion, how dazzling the sparks will be.

And that little braised egg from Mbappe.

"But England is really strong this time around and has the ability to compete for the World Cup."

Stones and Maguire paid the price of youth.

"Chu, I'm very happy to be your teammate!"

However, Manchester United's crazy acquisitions are not over yet. They bought Wan-Bissaka from Crystal Palace for 4300 million euros and activated the buyout contract for 3900 million euros to keep Kovacic.

So far, Manchester United's investment has exceeded 200 million euros, ranking among the top three in the five major leagues. There is still half a month left before the end of the transfer period. No one knows whether the wealthy Mourinho will still spend money. .

But there is a piece of news that makes Manchester United fans very worried recently, and that is the news of Rashford leaving the team.

Because there is not enough playing time and opportunities, many famous players in England have suggested that Rashford leave Manchester United, or rent or transfer to at least ensure that he can play football.

Otherwise he will waste the most important years as a professional player.

Rashford's original firm belief could not help but begin to waver. Originally, he could still serve as the right winger after Mata left. Who knew that Mourinho bought Mahrez again.

Then he can only serve as Chu Feng's substitute, but Chu Feng has been like an animal recently. His condition is so good that he rarely suffers injuries.

Mourinho found Rashford that day.

"Chu will not always be a left winger, because it will be difficult to design tactics with him as the core. This season I will let him try the 9th position."

"Of course, I won't stop you if you leave, but I would rather you stay at Manchester United because it would be a shame to miss the opportunity to create a future."

"."

After a thorough heart-to-heart talk, Rashford still had not made a decision, and Mourinho did not push him.

Soon the time came to July 7, Manchester United’s first pre-season friendly match.

Ajax vs Manchester United!

Old Trafford.

Since the World Cup has just ended, some Manchester United players have suffered injuries, such as Lukaku, Romero, Matic, Herrera, and Valencia.

Well, it can no longer be considered part of it.

Perhaps Manchester United has injury DNA in their bones, as can be seen from Crutch United last season.

So Mourinho arranged a 4-3-3 formation, boldly used players who had just joined the team, and played this game as a training match.

In the players tunnel.

Chu Feng was still thinking about the conversation with Mourinho just now.

"Valencia was injured recently and you became the team's second captain. How does it feel to wear the armband?"

"It's a bit complicated, I haven't thought about it."

"Then what do you think the captain's responsibilities are?"

"Lead the team to victory and help teammates solve problems."

"Gone?"

"Gone."

"Then let me give you a few words. You can be the most formidable leader, a highly skilled player, and the spiritual symbol of the club."

"You need to have the highest requirements for yourself, let your teammates follow your example, and solve problems on the field for your teammates."

"But can you be the captain if you have big fists? Obviously that's not the case. Being able to fight may make your teammates afraid, but it won't make them admire you."

"The difference between that is captain."

"But no matter what, you have to remember two words - responsibility."

"Others can fall but you cannot, others can admit defeat but you cannot, others can give up but you cannot give up."

"Every time before a game, you look behind you and you have to take responsibility for them!"

Chu Feng looked back subconsciously. De Gea, Luke Shaw, Maguire
Everyone looked at him with more or less trust, and Chu Feng suddenly felt something on his shoulders, heavy but very warm.

Maybe he doesn't really understand the meaning of captain yet, but he has indeed taken the first step towards becoming a captain.

In this long process, a boy will gradually become a man.

Amid the cheers of Manchester United fans, the players from both sides walked out of the tunnel, and Ten Hag shook hands with Mourinho.

The former looked at the magnificent Old Trafford and thought that if he could become the head coach of Manchester United in the future, he would definitely make Manchester United stronger.

Ajax, who played with all their main players, launched a fierce attack at the beginning.

The central axis of De Ligt, Frenkie de Jong and Ziyech shines, and they all know this is their chance to showcase themselves to the outside world.

It's a pity that the talented Brazilian player Anthony is still in Sao Paulo, otherwise he would have appeared at Old Trafford in advance.

Manchester United continued last season's defensive counterattack tactics, compressing the overall formation to their own half.

The 23th minute of the game.

Maguire and Lindelof seemed to misunderstand each other, slipping Frenkie de Jong's through ball behind them.

Since both of them turned around as fast as an aircraft carrier, they were forced to break through by Ziyech. They entered the penalty area and then stabbed to complete the goal.

0-1!

It was Ajax who scored the first goal. Manchester United fans suddenly became unprepared. You must know that they were the Premier League + Champions League champions last season.

Ajax was eliminated in the Champions League qualifying round. Manchester United fans have a strong sense of crisis in their hearts, and even think that this lineup is very bad.

This is a typical worry about gains and losses, because we have achieved good results before, but now we cannot have any downward momentum.

"It doesn't matter. The friendly match is just to find problems. Don't put too much pressure on us."

"Next, we will strengthen communication on the court and speak out our thoughts!"

Chu Feng patted Maguire's shoulder hard and said seriously in a calm tone.

He knows that words are never as good as actions, so after the game starts, he takes the lead in maintaining frequent communication with his teammates.

Maguire's nervous heartstrings began to relax and he gradually integrated into Manchester United's defensive system.

His worth can exceed 5000 million euros. Although he has a household registration, there is no doubt about his ability.

He was the only non-goalkeeper player in the Premier League to play full minutes last season.

When England faced Sweden in the World Cup quarter-finals, he was even hailed as the "God of War" by fans.

Manchester United quickly entered the game. When the game reached the 35th minute, Maguire accurately intercepted the ball and then passed it diagonally to the right.

Kovacic stopped Frenkie de Jong and passed the ball along the sideline to find Mahrez.

2015-16 Premier League MVP, the best player in the Premier League.

He immediately showed his strength. Although he does not have a strong body, he is very skillful in handling the ball.

With continuous touches of the ball and a swaying center of gravity, he passed Tagliafico neatly and hit the middle on the right side of the penalty area.

After Rashford heard a familiar voice, he decisively leaked the ball behind him.

As the camera quickly shifted, two figures appeared on the screen.

Chu Feng and De Ligt.

The sharp spear and strong shield of the younger generation, the youngest captains of Manchester United and Ajax, are facing off head-on at this moment!
The two bicycles connect and change direction!

The terrifying magnitude makes one's knees ache just by looking at it.

And De Ligt's turning speed is as fast as Maguire's. The continuous shifting of weight has already been miserable, and finally inadvertently exposed the space in the middle.

Chu Feng was able to change direction while moving at high speed, and flew out like an arrow from a string.

Facing the dark-skinned Onana, Chu Feng fell directly to the ground and shoveled!

Compared to De Gea, Onana is indeed a bit slow to get down to the ground, and the football goes directly under his arm into the goal.

This key goal was like a shot in the arm, allowing the Manchester United players to find the feeling they had last season.

But the shortcomings of the lineup were quickly exposed. Maguire and Lindelof were not very mobile, so they needed a strong enough defensive midfielder.

McTominay is clearly not at Matic's level yet.

So Ajax attacked Manchester United's ribs and constantly sent threatening passes. Near the end of the first half, Tadic scored another goal.

In the second half, Mourinho began to mobilize his troops in order to find the best central defender combination.

After all, Manchester United is still based on defense. As long as they can stabilize the defense in the backcourt and counterattack with the strong speed of Chu Feng, Rashford and Mahrez at the front, they can definitely maximize their scoring opportunities.

When Bailly came on instead of Lindelof, Maguire suddenly felt much more comfortable because Bailly could provide enough defensive toughness.

One of the two attacked and the other assisted in defense, keeping the backcourt in order.

The 65th minute of the game.

Pogba and Chu Feng hit the wall continuously on the wing to cooperate. Chu Feng attracted the defense of three players, and then he passed the ball through the gap.

Pogba follows up with a long pass transfer.

Mahrez stopped the ball smoothly, then cut in the middle and shot with his left foot to complete the goal!
There is no doubt that his left foot is at the top level, but unfortunately his right foot is only at the community level, the same as Argentina's deputy top player Di Maria.

But this is exactly the player United are missing.

The next game didn't have much trouble, both teams began to make large-scale substitutions. In the end, Manchester United won the game 4-3.

In the post-match interview, Ten Hag was beaming: "We put in an outstanding performance. We completely controlled the game and created many good opportunities, but unfortunately we didn't seize them."

7 month 26 day.

The entire Manchester United team left for China to participate in the International Champions Cup and faced AC Milan, Inter Milan and Borussia Dortmund within one week.

The International Champions Cup is also called the Guinness Cup. It is essentially a commercial competition, so it does not have much gold content.

The club didn't pay much attention and basically just dealt with it casually.

Among the tens of thousands of fans at the Jinling Olympic Sports Center, 9% were Chu Feng fans.

Regardless of whether he dribbles, breaks through, runs, passes, shoots, etc., the fans will burst into deafening sounds.

Although the temperature in Jinling was as high as 38℃ that day, Chu Feng still insisted on playing the entire game. Fortunately, the intensity of the game was not high, otherwise he would not have been able to survive.

When the three rounds were over, Manchester United had 2 wins and 1 loss with 7 points, and finally won the International Champions Cup China Championship.

Tottenham also won the North American championship as they wished, and Harry Kane won the second championship in his career.

As for the first championship?
It was the Algarve U8 International Invitational Tournament 17 years ago.

As the time approached August 8, which was the deadline for the summer window to close, Manchester United's management held another meeting, and the content was naturally about signings.

Mourinho deserves to be at the top of the list of coaching signings in the five major leagues.

After spending more than 200 million euros, I still feel that it is not enough, and I want to buy another defensive midfielder with sufficient mobility, such as Kante.

However, according to the Premier League's financial fairness policy, the club's relevant income per season is required to be greater than or equal to the relevant expenditure.

Although Manchester United is still some distance from the penalty red line, they must reserve enough space to prevent accidents.

Therefore, unless Manchester United sells players again, it is impossible to buy players.

Not to mention that a defensive midfielder like Kanter is estimated to be worth 8000 million euros, so Mourinho can only give up his thoughts.

At this time, the Manchester United players were undergoing a farewell ceremony.

Ibrahimovic, Mata, Darmian, Fellaini, Rojo, Smalling
They left Manchester United one after another and rushed to their own poems and distant places. Some were helpless or reluctant to leave, all of which turned into thousands of unresolved emotions and sorrows.

Ibrahimovic hugged Chu Feng's shoulders with drunken eyes, "Didn't you ever ask me why I could persist for so long?"

"The most important thing is to do things that make you happy. Don't care what other people think. You do it for yourself, not others."

“So you have to believe in yourself so you can persist longer.”

"Of course I am not saying this to make you a selfish person, but I hope you can think more about yourself. Do you know what your biggest shortcoming is?"

Chu Feng shook his head and took a sip of wine.

After entering the Manchester United first team for more than a year, the thing he hates most is Ibrahimovic.

In the eyes of outsiders, Ibrahimovic is selfish and violent, but in his eyes, Ibrahimovic is a gentle and tough guy who has given him a lot of experience in every aspect.

How to get rid of laziness, how to respond and move
Without Ibrahimovic's help, his growth rate would definitely not be that fast, and he might not be able to win the Champions League in the end.

Maybe this is a drink and a peck, both cause and effect.

Ibrahimovic then continued: "You like to put pressure on yourself too much. In fact, this is not a good thing."

"Everyone plays in the top league and no one takes time to wait. You have to learn to put pressure on your teammates and let them give their best effort."

"Some people can take a little more, some people a little less, and some people can't."

"You need to distinguish these yourself. This is how you truly take responsibility, rather than blindly shouldering everything."

"I hope I can see a more mature Chu in the future. As for persisting in training, I won't say much. You can do this better than me."

"Sometimes I really doubt that your kid is a robot!"

Then Ibrahimovic raised his glass high and said to the Manchester United players: "I am very happy to be teammates with you. We have gone through a wonderful journey together. I think I will never forget it in my life."

"At Manchester United, I won five championships including the Europa League, Champions League, Premier League, and FA. I have fulfilled my original promise."

"Next I will conquer American football, and we will definitely see you on the field in the future!"

The Manchester United players raised their glasses and sent their most sincere blessings.

Chu Feng stared at the swirling liquid in the wine glass and thought seriously about what Ibrahimovic had just said. After his rebirth, he was indeed more accustomed to doing everything by himself.

But this will never make him a qualified leader, and he recalled his conversation with Mourinho.

There are many aspects of responsibility, and supervising teammates is one of them. His previous understanding was still too one-sided.

After a while, Fellaini walked towards Chu Feng and said, "I'm going to your hometown tomorrow. Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"I suggest you go climb Mount Tai first and experience the land for yourself."

"You must maintain your competitive state and professionalism. I believe you will like the Chinese fans, and the Chinese fans will also like you."

Chu Feng said with a smile.

At the end, he made another joke: "If anything happens, just tell me my name, although it may not be useful."

After clinking glasses with Chu Feng, Fellaini nodded seriously.

Changing cups and cups dispels the sadness of parting.

Tonight is the first time Chu Feng got drunk after his rebirth, not only to commemorate the years of fighting side by side with his teammates, but also to move towards a bright and bright future.
-
8 month 11 day.

The British mainland is becoming more and more popular, and the Premier League's top players are competing side by side. Who can win the final championship trophy?

Is it the heavy metal-mad Liverpool, the impeccable Manchester City, the unchanging Tottenham Hotspur, the Arsenal entering a new era, or the Manchester United striving to defend their title?

Or will a new miracle happen?
There is no doubt that the Premier League will be even more exciting this season!
Old Trafford.

Seventy thousand people packed the stands to the brim, loud cheers sounded, and a red wave surged along with it.

"Good evening, viewers, what we are broadcasting now is the first round of the 2018-19 Premier League season!"

"Manchester United vs. Leicester City!"

"Manchester United poached two generals from Leicester City in the summer window. As a result, the two teams happened to meet again in the opening game of the new season. It will definitely be a wonderful match!"

"How will Maguire and Mahrez perform? Can Xiao Chu continue his dominance in the Champions League final?"

"Let's wait and see!"
