Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

Chapter 224

Alex Ferguson looked at Cole, who was hugging and celebrating with Modric on the court, with a complicated expression.

Andy Cole's career at Manchester United began in the winter break of 1995 and ended in the summer after the 2000-01 season.

For a full five and a half years, six seasons, Cole played 195 Premier League games for Manchester United and scored 93 goals.

He was the top scorer in Manchester United!

Helped Manchester United win five Premier League titles, two FA Cup titles, two Community Shield titles, and the 1999 Champions League title!

Such a player.

How could Ferguson not have feelings for him.

But Ferguson knew very well, and even Cole during the Manchester United period understood that even though Cole had been at Manchester United for so many years and worked hard to help the team win so many honors.

Andy Cole was never a player that Ferguson liked too much.

In five and a half years!

Ferguson thought about replacing Cole almost every off-season to find a better striker for Manchester United or a striker that he was more satisfied with.

At the end of the 1995-96 season, Ferguson wanted to use Cole as a bargaining chip for 12 million pounds in order to win Alan Shearer from Blackburn.

After getting Ruud van Nistelrooy and Sebastian Veron in 2001, Ferguson sold the team's top scorer last season to Blackburn for 8 million without hesitation.

After Cole left Manchester United, Ferguson never took the initiative to contact this meritorious player, even once.

Because he didn't like it, he just didn't like it.

This is the paranoia engraved in Ferguson's bones. The first sight can determine his likes and dislikes for a player.

And now.

When Cole's familiar figure, wearing Manchester City's jersey, blasted Manchester United's door with a volley.

Ferguson couldn't help but sigh.

He could see that Cole's kick was not only a catharsis, but also a proof, a proof to himself in the Manchester derby.

He, Cole, is actually no worse than other strikers, but you, Ferguson, just don't like him!

Exactly.

When Ferguson thought so, Cole, who had finished celebrating in the corner area, also gave him a deep look.

Cole, who stood back in the kick-off position, listened to the cheers of the Blue Moon fans who were still continuing at the Etihad Stadium.

At this moment.

He felt that he was finally free.

Since leaving Blackburn and deciding to join Manchester City and joining Manchester United's former mortal enemy, Cole, who once loved Manchester United and was loyal to the Red Devils.

He was completely dead.

And the flame of revenge also ignited in his heart. Today, in the Manchester derby, he finally completed his revenge!

But after the passion, Cole saw the helpless eyes of the Red Devils fans in the stands who had cheered for him.

And felt a little tasteless.

Cole suddenly had the idea of ​​retiring after the end of this season.

At his peak, he had already dedicated his youth and passion to the Red Devils. The reason why he was still supporting himself to continue playing football was just because of his inner obsession.

However.

Before talking about retirement, let's focus on the current game that has not yet ended.

...........................................

"3:1!"

"3:1!"

"Manchester United, who continued to attack Manchester City in the second half, was scored another goal by Manchester City!"

"Manchester City expanded its lead to two goals!"

"Stuart's substitution is really amazing!"

"Cole scored a goal just after he was substituted!"

"Cole scored too quickly!"

"When he was substituted, I didn't have time to introduce this legendary Manchester United striker to the fans in front of the TV!"

Wang Tao explained without blushing, but the barrage in the live broadcast room was very clear.

-[Haha, please, Brother Tao, next time you start chatting, just look at the court and don't look up at the ceiling and talk about it on paper! ]

-[That's not right! You just said that the three substitutes that Manchester United substituted in were more awesome, why did you change your words! ]

-[Oh! Girls, did you see that? This is what men are like, they don't even blush when they tell lies! ]

-[Female fans? ! But can you guys withstand this punch that has been the work of twenty years? ]

..................................

The live broadcast room was full of laughter, but the situation on the court suddenly changed.

2 goals behind!

Manchester United, who kicked off, still launched a high-profile attack.

Manchester United players knew it very well.

In this battle, the team has been pushed to a critical point.On the edge of the cliff, there is no way to retreat, only to stride forward.

The 70th minute of the game!

Cole's goal seemed to be just a fingertip away, instigated by Paul Scholes' long pass.

Cristiano finally ushered in another highlight moment of his game.

On the right side, Cristiano dribbled past Cole and Knight and came to the hinterland.

Cut inside and rushed into the penalty area!

Wayne Rooney and Louis Saha rushed into the penalty area together, and Manchester City's defense was disrupted by the impact of Manchester United's three forwards.

Stewart on the sidelines was so nervous that he clenched his fists, and Ferguson's eyes were also shining.

"Ronaldo!!"

"A sudden shot!"

"A lob in front of the goal!"

"The ball goes in!"

"The ball goes in!"

"At the critical moment, Ronaldo stood up again and pulled Manchester United back from the edge of the cliff. He broke through the wing and cut inside and scored with a lob!"

"This goal!"

"Very spiritual!"

"The 70th minute of the game!"

"3:2!"

"Manchester United scored one point. The suspense of this Manchester derby is still there!"

On the court, after a brief celebration with his teammates, Cristiano picked up the ball from the net and rushed back to the center circle to prepare to serve.

Ferguson, who was still celebrating, saw this scene.

He couldn't help but sigh that this young man he brought from Portugal has matured too much this season.

Not far away, Knight, who was looking up to watch the replay, also noticed Cristiano's actions.

He subconsciously found Su Fei to complain.

"Su! He imitated you!"

"Oh."

Su Fei was too lazy to pay attention to this guy and frowned slightly, even though Cole had just expanded the lead.

It was equalized almost in the blink of an eye.

What does it mean?

It means that Manchester City's defense is really beginning to be unable to withstand Manchester United's offensive!

Stephen Jordan and Mike Richards, two long-term bench players of Manchester City, who came on the field, are really a little bit short.

I'm afraid.

Manchester United's offensive is still so fierce. If they equalize the score later, they will be completely in the ascendant.

Su Fei's worries soon became a reality...

......

In the 79th minute of the game, the crazy Manchester United players continued the high-pressure tactics in the past 9 minutes.

Even if their physical strength is almost exhausted, they are still trying to catch Manchester City's backcourt mistakes.

Mistakes, there!

Stephen Jordan's pass to the midfield near the penalty area was intercepted by Louis Saha!

Louis Saha got the ball and sent a through ball into Manchester City's penalty area!

That position!

The red Manchester United No. 7 appeared!
