Chapter 364 Youth
A new year, a new season, and a renewed Manchester United, full of vigor and vitality.
But they also face more difficulties. Although they only won the League Cup last season, the Red Devils' reputation was too prominent in those three years and people still regarded it as their biggest rival.
In contrast, their neighbors Manchester City quietly signed several high-level players and even kidnapped Haaland from Dortmund.
In the final match of the first half of the league before Christmas in December, Chu Feng's deep eyes were filled with fighting spirit as he watched Haaland drag Ake and score.
Today's scene made him feel like he was back in the past, when Manchester City was so strong and no one was optimistic about them.
But in the end they were the most competitive and defeated the Blue Moon Legion with their strength.
Now, he feels the pressure on his shoulders, and therefore has a lot more motivation.
Three consecutive years of smooth sailing made him feel proud.
But later stories told him that honor is not so easy to come by.
In the 34th minute of the game, Maguire's close confrontation caused Haaland to lose the ball.
Immediately afterwards, Ake dribbled the ball from the wing and suddenly made a long diagonal pass to find Grealish who was running wildly on the other side.
The latter met the ball and cushioned it directly into the middle, with a dull sound of impact.
Stones was knocked to the ground, and then, in front of tens of thousands of spectators, Ederson was shaken away by the pendulum as he was leaving the goal.
Shooting into the empty goal and celebrating, just like the boy he once was.
On the bench, Ashley Young, who was in the final year of his contract, looked at the passionate figure and said to Menou beside him: "You know what? You are very similar to him at that time, from the youth team to the U18 team and then to the first team. When I first met him, I had a premonition of today."
"So you mean I can do the same?" Menu asked excitedly.
Ashley Yang curled her lips, "What are you thinking about?"
Menou smiled awkwardly, not that the young man wasn't angry.
But even the proudest young people dare not even think about it.
However, Menu encouraged himself in his heart. Even if he could not become Chu, he would be satisfied to be able to fight alongside him.
2017 was the year when Chu Feng entered the first team.
In 2020, he joined Manchester United U18.
In the past two years, whenever he walked out of the cafeteria, whenever he left the training ground, it seemed that in every corner of the Carrington training base, he could be seen wearing the red No. 7 jersey.
And when those figures materialized and overlapped with the mature man on the field, he thought of a word - youth.
The boy chasing the wind has lost his youthfulness, but he still seems to be that boy, because they are still as fast as ever and as passionate as ever.
Perhaps when people give up their youth, time seems to freeze.
Suddenly, Menou and his teammates stood up, cheered for him, wished him well, and recounted for him the glory every minute and every second.
When the final whistle sounded, the time on the screen froze at 96:45 and the score was 1-2. Manchester United scored the winning goal with an injury time shot.
Chu Feng, who scored twice, smiled brightly. After thanking the fans with his teammates, he walked towards the Manchester City bench and said, "Maria asked me to ask you, are you going home for dinner tonight?"
"Get out! Do you need to ask?" Guardiola kicked out, but the agile Chu Feng dodged it easily.
Then, he recalled two years ago. At that time, he admired him, but now he was filled with confused emotions that he couldn't sort out.
"Jose is really lucky!"
Guardiola complained unhappily, and then heard a faint voice coming from behind him.
"Pep, it's not nice to talk bad about people behind their backs."
Mourinho shrugged.
Guardiola pressed his temple and finally knew who Chu Feng learned that annoying attitude from.
The winter transfer window was very quiet because this is the World Cup year and everyone wants to secure their starting position and strive to get on the national team roster.
The Premier League without a winter break has been criticized by many professional players.
But there is no way, since it gives so much.
Before we can even enjoy a few days of vacation, we have to get out of our warm beds and continue the competition.
This is different from last season's strong early stage, weak middle stage and soft late stage.
Manchester United is full of momentum this season, and with Mourinho's tactics, adjustments and rotations, they have finally spent January smoothly.
Currently, they are temporarily at the top of the standings with a 5-point advantage.
The process was up and down during February, March, April and May.
When seeing signs of recovery at Manchester United, everyone remembered that period of fear and they didn't want to live that kind of life again.
So he stretched out his hand desperately, trying to pull Manchester United down from the top of the mountain.
But although the rankings have fluctuated, the fighting spirit remains high.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After overcoming all obstacles, Manchester United has shed the immaturity of youth and has a stronger desire for victory.
The long sword forged by faith and courage has also been sharpened by time.
The final battle was at Old Trafford, the magnificent Theatre of Dreams, a place where legends are constantly born.
The Red Devils once again bathed in the red rain and lifted the championship trophy that symbolizes honor.
As for the biggest contributor Chu Feng, he left early, and even the Manchester City head coach was nowhere to be seen. When they drove to the hospital, they looked at the ward through the glass.
A big one and a small one were lying on two beds. Chu Feng pulled the medal around his neck and sighed, "It's still too late."
"The little guy is lucky. No matter what the result is today, he can get a medal." Guardiola also sighed.
At the end, he asked again: "Are you confident in the Champions League final? Real Madrid has a strong lineup."
"Are you stronger than me?" Chu Feng pretended to be ignorant.
Guardiola choked when he heard this.
really.
No matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than the person in front of you? So, on Children's Day, at the Stade de France.
The Red Devils beat Real Madrid, just like they did four years ago.
But this time, there were no accidents, no miracles.
When interviewed by the media after the game, Chu Feng thanked many people and also thanked himself.
When asked whether he would still be at Manchester United in the future, there was a sincere desire in his eyes.
He thought that in the future he would be able to end his career in the red Old Trafford like Maldini to AC Milan, Bergomi to Inter Milan, Adams to Arsenal, and Kahn to Bayern.
After returning home, looking at his little daughter who had just grown up, Chu Feng felt very reluctant to leave. He thought that he had not even had time to spend with his family before he had to go to another country for training to prepare for the World Cup in November.
"Go away! Don't be an eyesore here!" Guardiola teased his granddaughter without even giving her a glance.
He habitually said a few words to Chu Feng who stole his cabbage.
Chu Feng shrugged at Maria, indicating that he could understand.
As a winner, he will be tolerant enough to the loser.
