The Strongest Demon Front

Wrapped in a coat, Ferguson walked towards his office with his head down.

After entering the warm office, he took off his thick coat, rubbed his hands, and habitually walked to the glass window in front of the training ground, looking towards the training ground.

"Huh? Why is Chu here? Didn't I give him a day off?"

Looking at Chu Ge jogging on the training ground, Ferguson was very surprised.

Today is the Chinese New Year, Manchester United's next game is the FA Cup, Chu Ge does not have to play because of the rotation, so Ferguson gave Chu Ge an extra day off.

It was Chu Ge's special treatment.

However……

"Not only did he not go to rest, today's training, he was the first to come to the training ground. Just like before." Giggs opened the door and said with a smile.

Obviously, he heard Ferguson muttering to himself before.

"This kid..." Ferguson smiled and shook his head. He looked at Chu Ge who was training hard on the training ground, and said, "Always so desperate."

"Perhaps this is what the Chinese people say. If you are not crazy, you can't survive. In other words, we say that only the paranoid can survive. A young man who is as hardworking and talented as Chu deserves his success." Ji Gus laughed and joked.

The two coaches chatted for a few words, and soon got into the topic of today's work.

Discuss the team's tactics and preparations for the next game.

Two days later, in the fourth round of the FA Cup, Manchester United will meet their opponents, Wigan Athletic.

Compared with the league, the importance of the cup is not so great.

But for a strong team like Manchester United, they cannot give up every title they hope to compete for.

There is always only one goal for Manchester United in every game.

All out to win.

Against Wigan Athletic, they need to be serious. Just like every other game.

...

2 days later.

Old Trafford.

With the whistle of the referee, the whole game is over.

Chu Ge stood up in the stands.

He applauded along with the fans.

In this game, Manchester United beat Wigan Athletic 4-0.

Manolas played forty-five minutes in this game, Manchester United won a big victory, and also kept a clean sheet.

That's a good start.

but.

Manchester United's goalkeeper for this game is substitute goalkeeper Romero.

Not De Gea.

In the locker room after the game.

Chu Ge praised the performance of each teammate and celebrated the victory with them.

After winning this game, Manchester United entered the fifth round of the FA Cup. Their opponent in the next round will be Blackburn, a team also from the Premier League.

...

January passed quickly.

Lin Murong left Manchester, she will return to China for a few days, and then fly to the United States to continue her studies.

Also leaving were Chu Jian'an and Du Lin.

The two of them will go to Qatar to continue their round-the-world travel plan.

actually.

For this kind of life of doing nothing all day, just playing and eating everywhere, Chu Jianan refused at first.

He believes that men should have their own careers.

However.

After being forced by his wife to travel for three months, he resolutely quit his job like Du Lin and started a "full-time" idle travel life.

In his words, it is "the second generation of children, that's great."

...

With the passing of January, the European winter transfer has also come to an end.

In this transfer window, Paris once again demonstrated the power of money.

They took Draxler from Wolfsburg for 40 million euros.

This deal became the king of transfer bids among European clubs.

The two transactions in which Manchester City spent 32 million euros to buy Brazilian genius Gabriel Jesus, and Portugal's rising star Gulles from Benfica to Paris Saint-Germain for 30 million euros also attracted the attention of many media and fans.

But the most lively and evil transfers this winter were not these three transfers.

It was the French star Payette.

On January 12, Payette suddenly "rebelled". He refused to play for West Ham United on family grounds, and chose extreme measures such as strikes and strikes to make the club completely violent.

Although West Ham United coach Bilic was firm, Payet was unmoved and insisted on returning to Marseille.

After being rejected three times, the Marseille Club finally raised the offer to 29.3 million euros and successfully persuaded the Hammers to let them go.

It is reported that after Payette returns to Marseille, his salary will be greatly reduced, with a salary cut of 60%.

During the winter transfer period, the most beautiful thing is the Chinese Super League. Among the TOP10 winter transfer transactions, half of the seats are occupied by the China Super League.

Chelsea star Oscar transferred to Shanghai SIPG for 60 million euros, which is the king of winter transfers.

In addition, Yatai bought Watford striker Ighalo for 23.3 million euros, Zhang Chendong transferred for 20.44 million euros, and Pato transferred for 18 million euros.

The China Super League showed off its presence during the winter transfer period.

The nature of local tyrants is undoubtedly displayed.

During this winter break, Manchester United only took Manolas away from Rome by means of a loan and buyout.

For the rest, there is no major operation.

...

February 1.

Manchester United host Hull City.

This is the last game in the twenty-third round of the league.

In the previous game, Chelsea's winning streak was interrupted by Liverpool.

At Anfield, Conte's team and Klopp's team each scored a goal, Chelsea and Liverpool drew 1-1.

This gave Manchester United some opportunities.

If they beat Hull City, Manchester United and Chelsea at the top of the table can close the two points gap.

This is equivalent to Liverpool helping Manchester United snipe Chelsea.

For Manchester United fans, this is undoubtedly double the joy.

However, the result of this game did not go as expected by the fans.

Facing the weak Hull City, Manchester United finally drew with their opponents, the score was 1:1.

Chu Ge made a cross, and Ibrahimovic headed to Martial. Martial completed a fatal blow and scored Manchester United's only goal in the game.

And Manolas made a mistake in a return pass, and the opponent seized the opportunity to equalize the score.

Manchester United missed the opportunity to chase points.

after the game.

"Hull City performed very well today, they ran very aggressively. Compared with the game in the League Cup, Hull City obviously performed much better."

"We will summarize some of the problems that have arisen in this game, and strive to perform better in the next game."

"Manolas' mistakes? Any player may make mistakes. Today's game is his first start in the league on behalf of Manchester United. An unfamiliar league environment, plus strange teammates, everyone will need some It took time to get used to it. Actually, apart from that one miss with a back pass, Manolas was doing really well. I still trust him, he has a lot of quality and he will be successful at Manchester United."

Ferguson said in the post-match interview.

He defended the team, especially Manolas.

...

In the Manchester United dressing room.

Manolas sincerely apologized to his teammates.

"I didn't notice De Gea's position at the time, and I made a pass on my own initiative. The pass was very reckless. Because of this pass, the team did not win the game. I apologize to everyone. I'm sorry, it all happened. It was my fault."

He blames himself very much.

This game is very important for Manchester United.

Especially when Liverpool helped Manchester United hold back Chelsea's progress, Manchester United desperately needed to win the game. Only in this way can they put pressure on Chelsea and force them to bear more pressure in the following games. They may lose more league points and let Manchester United see hope of catching up.

But because of Manolas' mistake, the team failed to win Hull City as they wished.

Manolas felt guilty and stressed.

Rooney and Chu Ge looked at each other.

Under Rooney's gaze, Chu Ge took the initiative to walk in front of Manolas.

"Kostas (Manolas), don't worry. Everyone makes mistakes, and everyone has the right to make mistakes. If you don't believe me, ask Smalling. This brother's clearance turned into a shot in the game and scored an own goal. And it's still at the double red meeting with Liverpool. Ha ha."

Chu Ge "caught" the eldest brother Smolin out.

The teammates all laughed.

Recalling the scene of the Double Red Meeting, Smolin touched his nose in embarrassment and smiled himself.

"Chu is right. As the team's central defender, all we can do is make as few mistakes as possible, but no one can do it without making mistakes. So, Costas, don't let this time What a serious mistake to make a mistake. Just learn from it next time."

Hearing this, De Gea on the side couldn't help touching his big nose.

Over the past few years, he seems to have become accustomed to guarding against the defenders in front of him while defending the opposing striker. Speaking of which, it's all tears.

With the understanding and comfort of his teammates, Manolas felt much better.

He looked at Chu Ge and his teammates gratefully, patted his chest, and said, "I will definitely learn the lesson from this time. Next, I will do my best to help the team defend well."

"That's right." Rooney smiled relaxedly, "Everyone should leave. Take a good rest and prepare for the next game. In three days, we will play the defending champion Leicester City, and it will be an away game. .There can be no more mistakes in this game. We must win Leicester City!"

He applauded and encouraged his teammates.

In the locker room, the Manchester United players encouraged each other, and the morale of the team was not affected by this unexpected draw.

"It's okay." After the teammates dispersed, Rooney walked to Chu Ge's side and said in a low voice with a smile.

He was referring to Chu Ge's behavior when comforting Manolas.

"Haha." Chu Ge smiled, and said modestly: "There is still a lot to learn from you."

"You have done a good job. In the future, you will do better." Rooney patted Chu Ge's shoulder and said with a smile.

Rooney has consciously begun to cultivate Chu Ge's leadership qualities.

In the view of the old Manchester United captain, this is his responsibility as captain, and it is also his last contribution to the team before leaving Manchester United.

...

Manchester United's unexpected draw, especially Manolas' own goal "assist", sparked heated discussions after the game.

Although Ferguson and his teammates forgave Manolas, the media in England did not let him go.

"For 36 million euros, Manchester United once again paid tuition for the signing of the central defender."

"Own goal assist, Manolas' debut was a disaster."

"Informed sources broke the news that Manolas is just Van Dijk's spare tire. If Van Dijk hadn't been injured, he would not have joined Manchester United."

"When will Manchester United's weak defense be truly resolved?"

"Manolas gave a gift, Manchester United was tied, this is their weakest link compared to Chelsea!"

...

The media have accused Manolas, calling him the culprit for Manchester United's loss of points.

In the post-match scoring session, many media, including Sky Sports, gave Manolas only 4 points or even an ultra-low score of 3.5 points, saying that the Greek defender's debut was a disaster.

"Parallel Manolas!"

"The management is mentally retarded!"

"The 36 million Manolas is only at this level, and my grandma is better than him."

"It's better for Manchester United to buy Manolas than to buy me. He can do it and I can do it. I'm cheaper than him. I don't need money at all."

...

Not only is the media dissatisfied with the performance of Manchester United's new aid, some impatient Manchester United fans have also begun to defect.

They were dissatisfied with Manolas' performance.

Even began to blame the management of these teams like Woodward.

For a time, the public opinion environment caused great disturbance to Manolas.

He was under a lot of pressure.

At this moment.

Chu Ge stood up.

"The people who criticize Kostas don't understand football."

Chu Ge, who has always spoken very softly, chose to support his teammates with a clear-cut stand this time.

"Everyone makes mistakes, including me. Manolas just made a mistake in that pass, but he also had 4 tackles and 3 interceptions in the game, and one of them was a quick return. He succeeded in chasing and tackling, avoiding the opponent's one-handed goal. In addition, he succeeded in all 6 of 6 backcourt battles."

"Remember, it's his first game in the league."

"His presence has made Manchester United's defense stronger. This is beyond doubt."

"Mistakes are just an accident, but quality is the real foundation. There is no doubt that Kostas is a player with super quality, a player that we need at Manchester United. He is not a candidate for any player, he is a real player. Manchester United fighter. I'm sure he will prove his quality."

"Winning is the effort of the whole team. Losing or drawing is also the responsibility of the whole team. I know that the team did not win and let everyone down. This is our fault. On behalf of the team, I would like to say sorry to the fans. Will work harder and live up to your expectations. But please don't attribute unfavorable results to a certain player."

"We are a unit at Manchester United, whether we win games or lose games. And, always have been!"

Chu Ge's statement made the media's criticism begin to weaken.

As Manchester United's best performing player, as the only Premier League star who has won the top three Ballon d'Or awards in recent years, and as one of the most popular phenomenal stars in the world, Chu Ge's voice cannot be underestimated by the media.

Most obviously, among the Manchester United fan base.

Chu Ge is the favorite player of Manchester United fans.

Whether it is football skills, character, or appearance, his popularity among Manchester United fans has always remained high.

He stood up for Manolas, no doubt, all of a sudden, the fans' criticism of Manolas was calmed down.

"Chu is right, Manchester United has always been a unit. Unity is the most important thing!"

"Win the ball and go crazy together, lose the ball and carry it together!"

"Manolas, I'm sorry, let's work together. Manchester United rushes!"

The media may still have reservations, but because of Chu Ge's remarks, Manchester United fans' attitude towards Manolas has changed significantly.

The pressure on Manolas was relieved a lot at once.

"Thank you, Chu!"

Manolas sent a text message of thanks to Chu Ge.

"It's okay, Kostas. We will always stand with you. Because, we are teammates!"
