The Strongest Demon Front

Latest website: Chu Ge lowered his head and arranged his sneakers while his teammates passed him back and forth.

Mbappe sat down next to Chu Ge.

When he sat down, Chu Ge looked up.

"So tired."

"really big."

They both said at the same time.

"What did you say?" Mbappe was stunned for a moment, he didn't hear clearly just now.

Chu Ge smiled and shook his head, then lowered his head to adjust his sneakers.

"There are too many games now, one after another. It's really tiring." Mbappe leaned against the locker with his long legs in a V shape, looking like he was paralyzed by exhaustion.

Chu Ge just smiled and ignored the remark.

Rashford also came over.

"Yeah, now I wake up with backache every morning, and I feel like my body is too empty."

Chu Ge straightened up, reached out and patted Rashford's head gently.

"Learn more about time management at a young age, so you don't get emptied of money easily." Chu Ge said.

Rashford smiled "hehe" and passed the test.

Chu Ge thought for a while and said: "It's normal to feel tired at this time. Manchester City's players may not be as tired as us, and Arsenal is more relaxed, but do you envy them?"

he asked Pogba and Rashford.

Rashford scratched his head.

Mbappe laughed.

"If it can be like this season every year, even if I am exhausted, I will be willing to do so." Van Dijk passed by and dropped a cool sentence with an expressionless face.

Chu Ge looked at Van Dijk's back and smiled.

This season because of the addition of Van Dijk,

Both Chu Ge and Manchester United have benefited a lot. After Van Dijk came to Manchester United, the team's defense suddenly improved to a higher level and became much more stable. With the defense solid, the team will be more relaxed when attacking.

At least Chu Ge doesn’t have to be like the national team.

No matter how many goals are scored, there is always a worry that the number of goals is not enough.

And, most importantly, although Van Dijk has not won many championships, he is always full of desire and hunger for championships.

This kind of determination to pursue championships and desire to be the best was something Chu Ge had only seen in Ronaldo before Van Dijk.

This is a kind of temperament and aura that belongs to excellent players.

The more players like this in Manchester United, the temperament of the entire team will also change. Players will be even more dissatisfied with their current results, will unconsciously take victory for granted, will not slack off just because they are ahead, and will always move forward.

The team's temperament is sometimes like a kind of metaphysics, which cannot be seen or touched, but it does exist and provides motivation for the team's progress.

Van Dijk's words touched all three Chu Ge.

Mbappe sat up straight unconsciously.

"What Van Dijk said makes sense. In football, just like running, everyone wants to be the best. But there is always only one best. If you don't endure hardship and don't get tired, why should you be the best?" He said thoughtfully.

Chu Ge looked at Rashford with a smile.

He pouted at Mbappe and then said to Rashford: "He gets it, what about you?"

Rashford patted his chest, stopped talking twice, and then said simply: "Me too!"

Chu Ge rolled his eyes.

"I just told you to read more books." He touched Rashford's head.

Rashford smiled sheepishly, "I have read it. I have been reading it. Isn't this because I am young and haven't graduated yet?"

Chu Ge shook his head helplessly.

Speaking of reading, he suddenly remembered something.

"If you hadn't played football, what would you be doing now?" he asked his two friends.

Rashford was stunned.

He hadn't thought about this problem.

He looked towards Mbappe and found that Mbappe was also a little confused after hearing Chu Ge's question.

"You always ask me, what about you? Boss Chu, what would you do if you didn't play football?" Rashford decided to strike first and could not always be led by Chu Ge.

Chu Ge touched his nose and thought for a while.

"This question is actually very simple for me. In my country, playing football is a choice for a few people. My choice to play football is more like an accident. If I had not gone to play football, I must have finished playing in our country. Take the college entrance examination, then enter a pretty good university and study a pretty good major..."

Without football, Chu Ge could easily imagine his future life.

He is different from many domestic players, and even different from many players in the European leagues.

Chu Ge was not born poor, nor was he a naughty student without any talent for learning.

The Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School he attended was a key school, and Chu Ge's grades were pretty good. According to the normal life trajectory of people of the same age, as long as no major accidents occurred, he should have passed the college entrance examination in three years and entered Jiangcheng University or a university in Central China Polytechnic to continue his studies.

Then it is nothing more than choosing one of three options: taking the postgraduate entrance examination, going abroad, or finding a job.

In the end, there will be a decent career, a decent salary, and a seemingly decent life, busy and ordinary, just like many people.

Football changed all that.

"Without football, I would be an ordinary person, ordinary and unknown. I don't know if I would be happy in that kind of life, because I have lost that way of life, but I don't regret it."

"I enjoy the life I have now, including the money, honor and status that football has brought me, as well as the responsibility and pressure it has brought me. My father often said to me when I was young, what do you get? , you have to pay something, this is fairness. Although sometimes you can't see what you have paid, and you don't know if someone else is paying for you, but life is always fair."

"When I was a child, I didn't understand what my father said. I always thought he was talking about truth and I didn't like hearing it. But as I grew up, I began to understand it a little bit."

"We are all successful players now. We earn salaries that are beyond the reach of ordinary people and enjoy the unreserved support of the fans. We have received a lot, which also means that we need to pay a lot. Paying may come in many forms. , but as players, our duty is to compete."

"Do your best in every game and fight for victory and the championship."

"If we win the championship, then we can satisfy the fans' wishes and let them know that all persistence is meaningful. If we do not win the championship and we fail, then the process of our struggle can also inspire people and tell them that not everything You can succeed if you work hard. Life is not just about success. Accepting failure is also a part of life. But only by working hard can you have the capital to accept failure. Only by working hard can you not get depressed after failure. I believe that this is the meaning of football and what we are doing. The meaning of work.”

The locker room was getting quieter and quieter.

The teammates looked at Chu Ge.

What the captain said was exactly what they had thought about but had not said.

They felt a strong resonance.

They listened,

Also thinking,

Everyone has their own ideas and they are not all the same.

And among the different ideas there is a similarity.

"Just now Kylian (Mbappe) said he felt tired, and so did I. I think we are all tired. We are players, but we are also flesh and blood. Of course we will feel tired due to the intensive schedule."

"But, what then?"

"Give up, or relax?"

"Is it worthy of the fans' expectations, worthy of the salary and reputation you have received?... Is it worthy of yourself?"

"We have gone through a year of competition together to finally get to where we are today. We can see three championship trophies right in front of our eyes. That is what the fans long for, and it is also what we long for! That is what we play The meaning of the ball is our dream and pursuit! I don’t know if I can get them in the end, but I know that working hard for it and giving my all for it is my right and my responsibility.”

"I'm going to fight for it. Until the end."

Chu Ge looked at Mbappe, at Rashford, at Van Dijk, and at his teammates.

And his teammates are also looking at him.

"I will fight for it. Until the end." Mbappe murmured and repeated Chu Ge's last words.

Rashford hit Chu Ge on the chest.

"That's very well said, Boss Chu." He became a little excited.

"Me too! I will fight for it until the end!" Rashford said loudly.

Van Dijk's ice-like face seemed to have melted slightly.

"It's my honor to fight for the championship," he whispered.

"For the championship!"

"For the championship!"

Teammates one after another clenched their fists.

Not all players are qualified to fight for the championship, and now, they have reached this point.

They've come this far together.

So,

No one can retreat!

"If I win the championship, I will shave my head to celebrate."

Looking at the excited teammates, Chu Ge suddenly felt a little impulsive.

He smiled and set one down.

Adding fuel to the team's high morale.

…

The game quickly resumed.

Compared to the first half, Manchester United's players seemed much more excited. They run more actively on the court and their willingness to attack is more obvious.

Di Francesco held his forehead.

He stood at the scene with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Did something happen at half-time for Manchester United?" the coach thought to himself.

At halftime, the Roma coach didn't say much to his players. He just asked the Roma players to continue the idea of ​​​​the first half, solid defense and Xu Tu's offense.

He didn't expect that as soon as the halftime break was over, Manchester United would launch a massive attack.

This was beyond his expectation.

While the coach was still thinking, the scene suddenly changed.

Mbappe retreated and dribbled the ball but was intercepted. De Rossi found Dzeko with a long pass. Dzeko headed the ball back. Nainggolan suddenly stepped forward and shot a blast.

The football blasted away the goal guarded by De Gea.

0:1.

Rome was ahead.

They scored first away from home.

"That's great!" Di Francesco jumped three feet high.

He hasn't figured out what happened yet.

But compared to scoring goals, those are nothing.

Everything is inferior, only scoring goals is high.

Very good!

Di Francesco threw all thoughts out of his mind and celebrated with passion as he ran along the sideline of the court.

Nainggolan's goal gave him hope in the finals!

From never being favored by everyone, to reversing Barcelona, ​​and then eliminating Manchester United, Di Francesco seems to have seen the peak of his coaching career!
