future king

The development of things often makes people feel incomparably miraculous. The situation that was tense a few days ago suddenly turned into a happy ending within a few days.

When Rooney stated a few days ago that he did not want to renew his contract with Manchester United, the reason he gave was that the Red Devils did not show enough ambition and did not do much in the transfer market. However, after the lightning renewal on Friday, Rooney changed again Speaking, he said that he has seen hope from the talks with the boss and the head coach, and Manchester United has made some commitments. "I now fully believe that the coaching staff, senior management and bosses are committed to keeping Manchester United proud.

According to the "Sun" report, in order to keep Rooney, Manchester United did promise other things besides a high salary. Members of the Glazer family personally intervened. They convinced Rooney that Manchester United will have a larger transfer investment, and The details disclosed by the newspaper are that the boss told Rooney that in the next eight months (including the two transfer windows of this winter and next summer), Manchester United will spend 8000 million pounds on the purchase of new players.

In fact, Manchester United does have some ideas in the transfer market. The most urgent "first goal" at present is to sign a goalkeeper. Van der Sar is about to retire. Last week's low-level mistakes made Ferguson more convinced that the search for a successor is over. It is imperative.

After some comparison and screening, Manchester United's goal is basically clear. The main goalkeeper of Glasgow Rangers, McGregor, the Scottish goalkeeper only conceded 1 goal in the first three group matches of the Champions League. He kept a clean sheet against Manchester United. Ferguson was very impressed, and then Ferguson sent his younger brother to Hampton Park to continue to inspect McGregor's performance.

According to the "Sun", the latter is worth about 500 million pounds, which is probably more cost-effective than other rumored goalkeepers such as Stekelenburg, Neuer, De Gea, etc., and Ferguson He doesn't plan to spend too much money on the goalkeeper. He believes that McGregor is expected to become a cheap introduction like Schmeichel and Edwin van der Sar, but it will be of great use.

Of course, McGregor does not belong to the "heavyweight commitment" category that allows Rooney to stay in the team. Ferguson does not like to spend a lot of money in winter, and the real big money may appear next summer. "The Sun" stated that regarding the introduction of heavyweight players, the Glazer family promised that Rooney said: When they are "available for introduction", the club will sign them.

The latest name to be mentioned is Bolton's England defender Gary Cahill. Although the 24-year-old England defender is not a heavyweight in terms of strength and fame, he is on the rise again because he is a local player, and his worth has reached 1500 million pounds. , can be seen as an introduction to "show ambition".In addition, Everton's midfielder Rodwell is also on Ferguson's radar.

However, it will take time to test whether the Americans will really fulfill their promise to spend a lot of money to buy people. There is a voice in the British media that Rooney has been "fooled". Debt, how could Manchester United be willing to throw 7 million in the transfer market?

The rumor corresponding to this worry is that Manchester United is actively operating the introduction of PSV Eindhoven winger Afelay.

Of course, Rooney is not easy to deceive. The "Mirror" predicts that in the next two transfer windows, he will pay attention to the actions of Manchester United. .

Today's player power is almost above the contract. Ronaldo renewed his contract in 07. He started to make transfers in the summer of 08. He successfully left the team in 09. It is not ruled out that Rooney will follow in his footsteps. Of course, the English most want to see It is obvious that Manchester United has made a lot of money in transfers. On the one hand, the strength of the team has increased, and the possibility of him winning the championship has increased. On the other hand, he can enjoy the high salary of the new contract, neither of which will be delayed.

At the same time, the news that Ferguson will retire soon may also be an opportunity for Rooney to ask for a transfer. Everyone knows that Ferguson made Rooney change his mind at a critical moment.

It's not bad for Manchester United to start with a good news and prepare for the away Premier League.

Stoke City have won all four of Manchester United's Premier League games and scored 4 goals.The last time Stoke City won Manchester United was in the League Cup in 12, and the league victory dates back to 1993.The two sides have clashed 1984 games in history, and Manchester United has the upper hand with 91 wins, 34 draws and 31 losses.Rooney, who had just renewed his contract, was absent due to injury and missed the opportunity to celebrate his 26th birthday at the Britannia Stadium.Ferguson rotated 25 players, Van der Sar, Gary Neville, Ferdinand, O'Shea, Scholes, Li Yu and Hernandez started.

O'Shea served as left-back and Evra was placed in the left-back position.

After the start of the game, Manchester United played vigorously in the away game, especially Hernandez's performance was gratifying. Li Yu took it for granted that he became the focus of the opponent's defense, and the Mexican teenager ushered in his own opportunity to explode.

Manchester United took the lead in the 27th minute. Nani made a tactical corner pass from the right.

Although Li Yu didn't appear on camera during this attack, his success in taking away Stoke City's defenders was the key to the goal.

Everyone thought that Li Yu would go to grab points, but in fact, he was running to cover his teammates' attacks.

If the cover goals are included in the actual data, Li Yu's report card this season will not be too bad.

Scoring many goals and sacrificing personal offensive strength for the benefit of the team, this is the proof of Li Yu's maturity this season.

Li Yu's behavior of publicly supporting Rooney a while ago caused him a lot of pressure in the club team, but now it seems that Manchester United's No. 9 has no problem at all. If he does not score goals, he can also create scoring opportunities for his teammates.

It seems that the game should be good. Manchester United took control of the game after the goal. Ferguson also deliberately let the players control the rhythm, but Stoke City equalized the score in the 81st minute. Scholes made a mistake. Wilson passed diagonally and came off the bench. Tunchai cut into the penalty area on the right side and passed Evra, and then shot from 18 yards to the far corner.

1: 1!

It is rare to continue again, the law of away games?

No!Li Yu will never let such a thing happen again.

Manchester United took the lead again in the 86th minute. Li Yu dribbled the ball all the way through and made a pass from the right-sided penalty area. Scholes headed the ball and made a point. Nandez blocked the goal from 8 yards.

Li Yu launched an attack and Hernandez overtook the game.

In stoppage time, Li Yu went crazy again, seized the opportunity of his opponent's physical decline, and made a strong breakthrough. People can clearly see in the camera that Stoke City defender Huth's surprised expression, now no expression can stop Li Yu. Yu's shot, the explosion in the final stage of the second half, has become a standard for Li Yu. When the whole field's physical fitness is declining, Manchester United's No. 9 has a chance to score!

The goal was achieved overnight, but it was very skillful. The football went straight to the dead corner of the goal, which was the goalkeeper's penalty area, 3:1!

Now Ferguson can finally sit back on the coaching bench with peace of mind, and the game was finally locked by Manchester United in the final stage!

Manchester United defeated Stoke City 3-1 at the last moment and won their first away win of the season. When "Little Pea" Hernandez scored twice to perform the song of youth, Gary Neville could only sigh with emotion: a hero There is always twilight, if you hear such emotions from teammates who have fought side by side for many years, the one who feels the most is Scholes.

Manchester United's guest game against Stoke City in the 9th round of the Premier League is of great significance to Neville, who was born in 1975, because this is his 600th game on behalf of the Red Devils.

Ferguson was very interesting, appointing Neville to start, but almost, just a little bit, the veteran ruined his "600 feast".

In the 23rd minute, Neville was at a disadvantage and was forcibly overtaken when competing with his opponent for speed. It can be seen that this hero who has been on the battlefield for many years has indeed passed his peak.

Of course, although Neville has compromised his speed, he still has experience and awareness.In the 25th minute, he passed the header back to the goalkeeper while defending, effectively defusing the opponent's offensive, and then passed a long pass to Nani, who won a corner kick for the Red Devils.

However, in this game, Neville's performance like this is rare, and more is to use fouls to prevent the home team from attacking.

In the 33rd minute, he stepped on Etherington's calf during the fight and was warned by a yellow card. In the 41st minute, he fouled Etherington again. At this time, Stoke City players besieged the referee and signaled that he should draw a red card. Fortunately, the referee did not Kill the Red Devils veteran.But Neville's two fouls in the first half also planted hidden dangers for himself. You know, Ferguson doesn't want his team to have one less player to fight.

Sure enough, Neville was replaced by Brown before the second half started. Interestingly, Ferguson did not make a substitution in the midfield locker room, but Neville had already appeared on the field to make a substitution decision in the second half, which made the former Manchester United leader a little Embarrassed, when he saw the coach's substitution decision, he pinched his waist with both hands and showed a wry smile.

"I was very lucky not to be sent off. Although I don't think that foul should be a yellow card, but to be honest, the referee did not show me a second yellow card. I am a bit disappointed that I was replaced. I plan to play in this game. 90 minutes, but the most important thing is that we win the game." Despite the suddenness of being substituted in this way, Neville felt lucky.The same is true, as Manchester United's official website said: "Ferguson replaced Neville with Brown and let him leave the field safely."

After the game, "Sky Sports" rated the players, Neville only scored 5 points, and his comment was "escaped a red card by luck", so is Neville the worst player in Manchester United?

At least not in the "Sky Sports" view, another veteran Scholes only scored 4 points, the comment is "sloppy performance."

In this game, Scholes' worst moment was a mistake in the 81st minute, which resulted in a conceded goal and almost ruined the good game, but the experienced midfielder was still remarkable for the rest of the time. A total of three threatening balls were passed.Therefore, he scored 6 points in the "Manchester Evening News" score, and the team's "Mr. Worst" this time it was Neville's turn. The "Manchester Evening News" only scored 5 points for Neville, and the comments were full of ridicule. : "He competed with Etherington alone".

In fact, whether it is Neville or Scholes, no one can deny the glory of these two team veterans.

But objectively speaking, their performance in this game is not flattering, which is actually reasonable. After all, they are 71 years old together, and the years are not forgiving.

Especially Scholes, although he is 36 years old, he has played in all the 9 rounds of the Premier League this season. The continuous campaign is naturally overdrawing the limited physical fitness of the midfielder.

In contrast, Neville has drifted away from the main position this season. He only played against Everton on behalf of the Red Devils before this round of confrontation with Stoke City.

Undoubtedly, the song of the setting sun is already ringing in the ears of the two veterans who are also the "92 generation". As far as the legend is concerned, everyone should take off their hats to them.

This is Neville's 600th game as the Red Devils, ranking fifth in Manchester United's history. The top four are Giggs, Bobby Charlton, Bill Fox and Scholes. The match against Stoke City was the 653rd time Scholes played for Manchester United, that is to say, Gary and Paul have played 1253 games for Manchester United so far.

Among them, Neville played 35 games as a substitute, and Scholes played 115 games as a substitute. In addition, Neville played 399 games in the Premier League, while Scholes played 453 games; as for the European war, Neville 117 , while Scholes played 123 games, ranking second and third in Manchester United's history of European appearances. You only need to look up to Giggs.

Their mistakes against Stoke are instantly forgotten when one looks at numbers that are beyond the reach of most players.

However, their sunset song is also destined to make countless people sigh, lamenting that time is like a knife, time is like a gun, and no one can be invulnerable.And I believe that the second general, who is as good as a god, will permanently write his name into the Hall of Fame in the near future.

Manchester United struggled to get three points in the away game, but Rooney was enviably on vacation at this time.

In February of this year, the former England captain Terry, who was discredited by the "Friendly Wife Gate" incident, successfully redeemed his wife Tony's heart in the seven-star UAE Boci Hotel, which is known as the most luxurious hotel in the world.Eight months later, Terry's England teammate Rooney also came here with his wife Colleen. Rooney, who encountered a "prostitute door", had Terry's experience, and the process of saving his wife seemed to be smoother.

Of course, this time he came to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in addition to please Colleen, Rooney is also for his own relaxation.The headlines of the British media throughout last week were almost Rooney and Manchester United's contract renewal soap opera. Although it ended with a dramatic happy ending, Rooney was still physically and mentally exhausted. In order to temporarily escape the pressure and hustle and bustle, Rooney even canceled the scheduled There was a £[-] birthday party last Saturday night.

According to the "Daily Mail" report, October 10 is Rooney's 25th birthday. The couple had planned a grand party and bought food and drinks worth thousands of pounds, even before they were worth 25. Outside the £450 mansion, a marquee tent has been set up for the party, but last weekend it was empty.

According to reports, Rooney's contract renewal with Manchester United last week has changed the way Rooney celebrates his birthday.Last week, Rooney first declared without warning that he would refuse to renew his contract and leave Manchester United, which caused almost hysterical rage among Manchester United fans. "Death threats" from Manchester United fans have been called in.

In the end, Rooney staged a shocking turn. He signed a new contract with Manchester United, thereby doubling his weekly salary to 20 pounds and becoming the highest paid English player ever.

The "Daily Mail" revealed the truth behind the scenes. Since Rooney's former teammate Ronaldo's weekly salary in Real Madrid reached 25 pounds and he only had to bear a lower tax rate, Rooney also wanted to follow in Ronaldo's footsteps and go to the Bernabeu for gold. The plan was vetoed by Colleen and her family, who refused to leave Manchester, a major town in northwestern England, which also left Rooney with Manchester United and Manchester City as the only choices.

Just when Rooney was thinking twice, Manchester United fans gathered in front of Rooney's house to protest and issued death threats to Rooney that "go to Manchester City and you will die". Finally, after Manchester United made a compromise and agreed to pay 20 pounds a week, Rooney also He changed his mind and renewed his contract with Manchester United.

The "Daily Mail" further revealed some details of Rooney's negotiations with Manchester United. First of all, Ferguson contributed a lot to the reason why Rooney chose to stay. Ferguson, who will be 69 years old at the end of the year, promised Rooney that he would continue to serve Manchester United. If his health permits, he will consider extending his coaching time.

Rooney hopes that Manchester United will get better and better. He hopes that the team can become the best team in Europe. He knows that only if Ferguson stays in the team, these things will have a better chance of happening.Secondly, Rooney is very concerned about his health problems. Due to his brave style of play on the court, he is worried that his life span will be shortened.

The insider revealed: "As the most challenging role on the pitch, Rooney may not be able to maintain the best economic state for as long as players in other positions."

Perhaps Rooney himself would not have imagined that he could experience such an earth-shaking mental journey in a week. In this context, it becomes inappropriate to hold a birthday party in public.So the husband and wife split up. Rooney asked Ferguson for leave and got the acquiescence of Ferguson. The 24-year-old Colleen called a hundred or so guests one by one to cancel the invitation one by one, and left her one-year-old son Kay with him. It is reported that the birthday party may be postponed for a week.

In fact, this [-]-pound trip to Dubai is not the Rooney couple's first trip after the "calling prostitutes". The two had already gone to Prague for a "second honeymoon".

The "Sunday Mirror" revealed that on the Emirates flight to Dubai, the relieved Rooney couple snuggled up to each other in a private box worth 4000 pounds and got drunk.They drank white wine and watched the children's movie "Rising Star" while eating cake and Pringles, followed by tomato soup and duck soup.The room they lived in at the Emirates Boci Hotel in Dubai was worth 1200 pounds a day. In this extravagant paradise on earth, the Rooney couple will stay for five days before returning to Manchester.

Perhaps the only thing that made Rooney feel a little uneasy during the holiday was his new Manchester United teammate Hernandez. In the Premier League last Sunday, Hernandez replaced Rooney and scored twice in the Premier League. Manchester United beat Stoke City 2-1.

But Rooney is currently suffering from an ankle injury, and it will take at least three weeks to regain his main position. For this reason, he will likely miss the first Manchester derby of the season on November 11.

Rooney told MUTV: "I can't wait to wear the red jersey again. I'm sad about the injury. I just want to play football, get back into shape, do what I do best and I'll be back at my best. I'm confident about it. I know the fans are sad about what's happened in the last few days, but I care about this club, I want to stay here, I want to continue to be successful at Manchester United. Maybe get the fans back to me It will take time, but I will do my best, like I always do, to win back the hearts of the fans."

Seeing Rooney like this, fans who care about Manchester United feel that the dark clouds have cleared and good times are finally ushered in, but things are far from as optimistic as people imagined.
