Chapter 493
I don't know why! ?
How can you not know why! ?
It's been so long.
For the first time, Ferguson found that being an opponent of Li Shiguang off the court was much more uncomfortable than being an opponent of him on the court!
Because this person really doesn't play by the rules when he is off the court!
Ferguson didn't want to talk about The Sun. Hasn't The Yorkshire Post always been the mouthpiece of your Leeds United? Without your instructions, they can break such news! ?
Li Shiguang just said this on the phone.
Ferguson suddenly changed his mind.
No!
Even if it may affect Cristiano's performance on the court, he must talk to Cristiano. Otherwise, when he knows the news from the media, it will be really bad.
Anyway.
Ronaldo was discovered by himself, and the friendship between master and apprentice is always there!
In the absence of an offer from Real Madrid, Ferguson is still confident that he can convince the Portuguese to stay in Manchester United.
He hung up the phone in a hurry.
Ferguson and David Gill briefly talked about their plans, then left the Carrington base and drove to Ronaldo's home!
····
Seeing Li Shiguang put down his phone, Simeone, with a playful smile on his face, couldn't wait to speak: "Boss, was the call just now from Ferguson?"
"Yes." Li Shiguang nodded, "The old man was anxious, and he didn't get the upper hand from me. He hung up the phone in a hurry now. He should have gone to find Cristiano."
"Play the emotional card?" Rivaldo also came over.
"Well, most likely." Li Shiguang took a sip of water. "Everyone knows who Malcolm is. Manchester United has been unable to renew the contract with Cristiano. I have thrown out 85 million euros. David Gill probably has received a call from Malcolm. Do you think Alex can avoid playing the emotional card?"
Simeone pursed his lips and looked contemptuous: "Then I think Ferguson will never play the emotional card."
Rivaldo looked at Simeone, full of curiosity: "What do you mean?"
"Cristiano is not a fool. He doesn't want the world's No. 1 value and high salary, but stays in Manchester United for sentiment? It doesn't make sense. ..." Simeone shook his head like a broken drum, "Anyway, I despise playing the emotional card the most. Either pay money or put together a lineup to get results. Why play the emotional card with professional players..."
"Damn it, I suspect you are picking on me." After finishing his meal, Li Shiguang wiped his mouth, stood up and patted Simeone's shoulder with a smile, "Let's go, don't think too much, let's solve Chelsea first today, and then we will go to Moscow to solve Manchester United! When we successfully solve Manchester United and get the Big Ear Cup, then Ferguson can play any card, and Cristiano will be mine!"

Eight thirty in the evening.
Stamford Bridge was full of people, and the stands were almost dyed into a blue ocean by 40,000 fans, dotted with some Leeds United fans wearing white jerseys.
The protagonists of tonight, the players of Chelsea and Leeds United, have already lined up in the player tunnel, waiting to enter Stamford Bridge under the leadership of today's referee Austin, to kick off the game that will decide who will get the ticket to Moscow!
The atmosphere in the player tunnel was a little tense.
The players of the two teams did not chat and encourage each other when they lined up as they usually do when they meet in the league.
Standing in the player tunnel today.
The players on both sides had serious faces and exuded a little bit of coldness, which made the little caddies standing in front of the players feel a little uncomfortable.
At the same time.
In the studio of Sky Sports.
Two old partners.
Lineker and Jon are also ready.
Lineker is wearing the white jersey of Leeds United.
And Jon is wearing the blue jersey of Chelsea.
"Okay! Ladies and gentlemen! Hello! Welcome to Sky Sports. I am your old friend, Gary Lineker!"
"Hello! I am Jon!"
"Friends, without further ado, the players of both teams are ready to go in the player tunnel, and we have also received the starting lineups of both teams." Lineker looked at the computer screen with excitement, "Next, let's take a look at today's game that will determine who will be Manchester United's opponent in the Champions League final. What kind of lineups have both coaches sent out!"
After a pause, Lineker began to read.
"First is Chelsea at home!"
"Grant is different today than last week. He put the last gameThe 4-4-2 formation was changed to a 3-5-2 formation. Goalkeeper Cech, three defenders are Ashley Cole, Carvalho and captain Terry. Five midfielders, Essien and Makelele form a double defensive midfielder, three forwards, Lampard in the center, Joe Cole on the left and Ballack on the right. On the forward line, Drogba still started, but his starting partner changed from Malouda in the last game to Kalou! "
"Next is Leeds United coming to the away game!"
"Lee also made adjustments today, and it is exactly the same as Grant! Lee also arranged a 3-5-2 formation! Goalkeeper Neuer, in his place are veteran Cannavaro, captain Kompany and Lahm. Due to the formation adjustment, Alves did not get a chance to start! Then in the midfield, the double defensive midfielders are still Modric and Alonso, in front of them in the center is Kaka, Bale and Ribery are on the left and right! Two forwards, Adriano on the left and Ibrahimovic on the right! "
He finished talking about the starting lineups of the two teams in one breath.
Lineker smiled and turned to look at Jon: "Obviously, our analysis just now was completely wrong. We didn't expect that both coaches would arrange this 3-5-2 formation today. Come on, Jon, tell me, what's going on!"
Since seeing the two starting lists, Jon's frown has never loosened.
As soon as Lineker finished speaking, Jon expressed his thoughts.
"I can only say that Jose's set is really useful!"
"Gary, you think Chelsea is playing 3-5-2, but I actually think Grant should play 5-3-2 today. After the game starts, Lampard and Ballack will probably stand very far back, and then Essien and Makelele will retreat to the back line to squeeze Ashley Cole and Carvalho out. "
"You mean Grant will park the bus today? "Lineker's eyes lit up.
"Grant may not have had this idea before. I think he was looking for a breakthrough in the midfield at first." Jon was a little helpless, pointing to Leeds United's starting lineup, "But he didn't expect Lee to send out a 3-5-2 formation. Bale and Ribery were on the field at the same time, which was too threatening to Chelsea's flanks. In this case, Grant's 3-5-2 had to be changed to 5-3-2!"
