Chapter 127, I have made up my mind
"The game is over! The game is over!!!"
"Manchester United beat Manchester United 2-1 away to continue their unbeaten run against the top five teams in the standings!"
"Yes! Complete victory!!! They are heading towards the championship with a proud record!!!"
The voice of the commentary came from the TV.
"not necessarily!"
Pellegrini turned off the TV and pouted.
Manchester United
He is not afraid!
Li Ao doesn't really care about the championship now, after all, it's still far away!
Not only him, but the rest of the team doesn't care either.
During this period of time, everyone's focus was on the vice-captain Ferdinand.
Ferdinand said he was retiring.
At that time, time was tight during the intermission of the game, and everyone couldn't continue to persuade them.
Now that there is plenty of time, in the past few days, everyone is trying to persuade Ferdinand to change his mind.
But it didn't work, Ferdinand was clearly determined this time.
It's useless for anyone to persuade him.
In the end, everyone had to pin their hopes on Rooney.
Now in this Manchester United team, Rooney is the only player who has the best relationship with Ferdinand and the oldest player.
Rooney's answer to everyone is --- shaking his head.
Wayne Rooney persuaded Ferdinand very early, much earlier than everyone wanted him to come forward.
He invited Ferdinand's family to his home.
"I know what you're going to say, Wayne. But don't try to convince me, I've made up my mind.
Ferdinand cut to the chase.
"Decisions can be changed, as long as they haven't finally become reality. It's like a football game, Leo. I won't give up until the final whistle blows〓
"We were severely impacted by Liverpool in the league back then. At one point, we even thought we could only accept Liverpool's dominance of the Premier League. What happened? In the end, we won three consecutive Premier League titles and continued Manchester United's dynasty!"
Rooney started from recalling the past with a glass of wine, hoping to arouse Ferdinand's nostalgia for the team.
Ferdinand laughed.
"Yes, Manchester United are the best team! But I will not change my decision to retire, Wayne."
"If you feel that continuous fighting makes you tired, you can continue to be a rotation player, Leo... To be honest, I think I have to accept this reality in the future. There is nothing to be ashamed of, this It is a law of nature, we always have to come to this point..."
"Wayne, it doesn't matter if it's a backup or a main player. I'm thirty-five years old, and to be honest, I was thinking that maybe I could go to some small teams and play for two more years before retiring. But now, I changed mind
Ferdinand looked at Rooney and smiled.
"I'm very thankful to Li Ao, he made me realize that... If I'm not at the top, there's no point in going on, Wayne, do you understand? He took me to a new peak, it's really amazing Can't get enough of it, so.....I decided to stop right now!"
In the face of Ferdinand's true confession, Rooney has nothing to say.
Seeing Rooney was silent, Ferdinand said with a smile.
"Don't feel sorry for me, Wayne. I have no regrets at all. This season I see the hope that we can continue the Manchester United dynasty! This hope is Lee! As long as he is still in the team, Manchester United can compete for all titles! What's more....Didn't he say it? I'm looking forward to saying goodbye with the triple crown."
Rooney sighed, admitting that Ferdinand had his own ideas, so he couldn't argue...
He didn't want Ferdinand to leave, but he couldn't stop him. He was very conflicted, and it showed directly on his face.
Ferdinand raised his glass.
"Don't make that look, Wayne. It should be nice to say goodbye, because it means a fresh start. …Come on, finish the drink and let's talk about something else.
Rooney toasted Ferdinand with a little distraction, but the sip of wine stayed in his mouth for a long time, and he swallowed it until it was so bitter.
No one can change Ferdinand's mind, not even Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho.
After deciding to retire, Ferdinand went to Mourinho once and expressed his thoughts to him.
Mourinho heard the news for the second time, but he still perfectly expressed the surprise he heard for the first time.
々Why is this?"
"No reason, boss. I'm too old to play. You know, a style of play like mine is physically demanding...
In fact, Mourinho knew why Ferdinand was there, but he couldn't let Ferdinand know that he knew it...
He was reluctant to leave Ferdinand. Although Ferdinand felt that he was no longer used to the fierce Premier League games, Mourinho felt that Ferdinand was a qualified locker room leader and an excellent substitute player.
It can enhance the depth of the team's bench. When he is needed, at critical moments, his experience and leadership qualities can lead the team out of the predicament.
Now that he's gone, I don't have such a suitable rotation player...
"Can't you think about it again, Leo? You know, you're still a big part of my plans, I need you, Manchester United need you..." (Ma Qian's)
Ferdinand shook his head.
"I've made up my mind."
So did Mourinho.
Even Rooney can't persuade him, who else can persuade him to change his mind.
He sighed.
"Okay, Leo. Tomorrow's regular press conference, you can attend as a representative of the players. Then you will personally tell the media about your decision, how about it?"
Ferdinand nodded.
Thursday afternoon is the regular press conference arranged by the Manchester United club. The head coach and players will attend to answer questions from reporters.
On this day, all the media who came to Manchester United's press conference did not expect that they would witness a historic moment.
On behalf of the team came the vice-captain Ferdinand, which did not surprise everyone.
Because as the captain, it is his duty to often attend press conferences and communicate with the media on behalf of the team.
