Chapter 614
Chapter 614
Ferguson rubbed his face vigorously in front of the sink.
Then he wiped the water stains on his face with a handkerchief, and finally took out his glasses from his pocket and put them on.
He adjusted his red tie.
Looking at himself in the mirror with wrinkles and age spots on his face, he sighed first, and then tried to force a smile.
Ferguson walked out of the bathroom and bumped into a UEFA staff member.
The staff member's original anger immediately dissipated after seeing who bumped into him.
"Sir Ferguson, I'm sorry... I'm a fan of Manchester United, and I will always support you!"
"Thank you."
Ferguson's fake smile in front of the sink was still on his face, and he turned sideways like a gentleman and took the initiative to make way for the staff member.
The staff member was flattered.
"Sir Ferguson, you have a strong heart. This defeat really didn't break you..."
"Haha, of course not. Believe me, I will lead the team to win again next year, and I hope you can always support us."
"Of course! Our whole family is a fan of Manchester United!"
Ferguson's smile became even stronger, and he waved goodbye to the staff member in a friendly manner and came to the Manchester United locker room.
He took a deep breath.
Pushed the door and entered.
The atmosphere in the locker room was as he expected, dead silent.
No one spoke.
The Manchester United players all hung their heads.
Many people didn't even notice that someone came in.
They were still immersed in the pain of defeat.
Only Neville raised his head and cheered up, and took the initiative to greet the head coach.
"Boss, is the post-match interview over so soon?"
"Gary, I haven't gone yet. I just went to the bathroom. I'll be there soon. You and I will come together."
"......"
"Hmm?"
"Of course, boss."
Gary Neville scratched his head, looked at his silent teammates around him, and agreed.
That was when.
In the corridor outside the locker room, there was a lively and familiar cheer.
"We are champion~we are champion~we are champion~"
The next second.
Snap.
The locker room door was closed by Ferguson. He was a little annoyed that he forgot to close the door after entering.
And several Manchester City players who happened to pass by were still humming.
However, it was this sound of closing the door that made many players in the locker room look up and find that Ferguson was back.
Among them.
Ferguson saw Ronaldo, whose eyes were already crying.
In Ferguson's memory.
Since joining the team, Ronaldo seems to cry several times every year, sometimes because of losing, sometimes because the team won but he didn't play well, and sometimes because he failed to grasp the final shot in the training match.
He is very competitive.
He is also very fragile.
Remember once when they lost to Manchester City, this kid seemed to cry in the locker room?
Ferguson couldn't remember which time it was.
Although he is still the respected coach of the Red Devils and one of the best coaches in the world.
But his memory has been weakened a lot due to age.
"I changed my mind. Neville, you don't have to accompany me to the press conference. Christie, come with me."
"Boss... I don't want to go..."
"No, this is an order. Get up!"
Ferguson's voice suddenly increased, mixed with irresistible meaning.
Ronaldo stood up lazily.
Head down.
Hunchback.
Nervously touching his fingers.
The proud and confident Ronaldo is gone. At this moment, he is just a fragile crybaby.
This is the impact of failure on people.
When you keep succeeding, you will become more and more confident. When you keep failing, your confidence will eventually be worn out.
Obviously.
Ronaldo, who did not fall down in four defeats, completely fell down in the face of today's failure.
Because the game lost today was the Champions League.
It is one of the ultimate dreams of all players who embark on the path of professional football.
"Do I need to say anything else, Christie? When you are interviewed, you should?"
"......"
"Speak."
"You should pay attention to your dress and appearance, and hold your head high. Because everyone interviewed will represent the image of the team..."
"I'll give you 1 minute to tidy yourself up. After 1 minute, I hope you can make yourself look... less decadent. Listen, I don't want those media around Europe to see our players after losing., showing a....to put it bluntly...dead look, understand?"
"Got it, boss."
The voice of Ferguson and Ronaldo's conversation was not small, so clear that the players in the entire locker room could hear it.
Everyone knows the character of their head coach.
Of course, these words of his were not only for Ronaldo, but also for every Manchester United player.
Sometimes.
He is so domineering, so domineering that when he wants you to be happy, you are not allowed to be sad, and when he wants you to be sad, you'd better not smile.
The nicknames of "hair dryer" and "Manchester United ball tyrant" are not for nothing, it is because of these years, he has gradually changed a lot as he gets older.
But in essence.
This head coach is still the "tyrant" who directly sent his beloved disciple Beckham away.
.... ..................................................
Manchester City's post-match press conference.
European media waited for a long time before Guardiola, who was half an hour late for the scheduled time.
More than half of Guardiola's gray suit seemed to be wet with champagne, and there was some cream on the ends of his hair.
He looked a little embarrassed.
But he couldn't hide the smile on his face, and even waved and greeted the reporters with interest when he entered the stadium.
The first reporter who asked the question joked.
"Mr. Guardiola, it seems that you had a carnival in the locker room, right?"
"Hahaha, yes. You can see that my suit may be scrapped."
Guardiola laughed.
He thought he should be more restrained in front of the reporters, but when he thought about winning the game, the corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than AK.
The following questions were very routine.
"How does it feel to be the new UEFA Champions League coach? "How do you feel about winning two championships so quickly after accepting Manchester City and helping the team achieve the treble?" "Who do you think is the best player in the team today?"
Guardiola has endorsed all of the above questions in advance.
So the answers were quick.
But a reporter from the Premier League asked a question that made Guardiola suddenly fall silent.
"Mr. Guardiola, will you formally renew your contract with Manchester City?"
"......"
The reason why Guardiola couldn't answer this reporter was that Manchester City had not yet given him a guarantee of formal signing.
He has signed with Manchester City now.
It's still a short-term temporary contract.
"Mr. Guardiola, can you please reveal your recruitment plan for this summer? The team currently has sufficient funds. Will you consider buying more rotation players? ”
“......”
Guardiola was speechless. Damn it, he didn’t even know if he would be the head coach of Manchester City next season.
How should I answer you?
All worries climbed onto Guardiola’s bald head. The young Spaniard had just led his team to win the Champions League.
He started to worry about work.
These days.
It’s really hard to find a stable job.
Maybe.
Should I take the initiative to talk to the management tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?
