Team Spirit

Chapter 138 (1.2 words) The Flying Boot Gate, but an enhanced version; Only the Green Gun can save British football!
The Sun's front page: "Datford player's nightclub tryst ends with manager Alfred's intervention!"

The Sun, page 2: "Teng Hag warns his teammates not to corrupt the team's atmosphere! The next day, he broke down in tears in front of the whole team, admitting that he made a mistake that no other man had ever made!"

The Sun, page 3: "Players not behaving themselves! Ladies at the Green Sound Bar say they had the chance to spend the night with Dartford players, but Alfred and Luca prevented it, even though the ladies said they could do it for free!"

When it comes to entertainment news, The Sun is the best.

The Dartford nightclub incident quickly sparked controversy across the internet after it was exposed.

Other media outlets also began to follow suit.

Dongqiudi: "It's not a good thing that Teng Haizi is paying for the entire match; Lu Kai should be wary of Teng Hahe and Tian's replacement of Qi!"

The Echo: "An unnamed Rooney said that going to nightclubs to meet girls is a common practice at major clubs, and he doesn't understand why Dartford's actions are making the news."

The Times: "Datford's courage to stop unhealthy behavior is something other English clubs should learn from!"

BBC: "From Dartford nightclub escapades to the true nature of this team – bottom-tier players are unreliable!"

Mundo Deportivo: "Miracle Collapses! The Dartford nightclub incident reflects numerous problems within the club, including organizational dysfunction, oversight failures, dereliction of duty by senior management, and declining leadership by Lu Kai!"

Daily Sport: "Come and see! This is the Dartford you've been praising to the skies! This is your great leader, Lu Kai, whom you've been showering with praise!"

It wasn't just pro-Datford media outlets; those who disliked Dartford also launched a fierce attack in this wave of reporting.

For a moment, the commotion made it seem as if Dartford's group had committed a capital crime, rather than as if they had simply been stopped from going to a nightclub for drinks.

But outstanding journalism graduates can immediately see the brilliance of this wave of news.

Who is the culprit?
Ten Hach!
This means that the wronged should be held accountable, and those who are dissatisfied with this behavior should not criticize Green Gun, but rather Teng Hai. Gun is still a good gun.

If someone insists on stirring up trouble around Green Gun, then who will stop them?
Alfred!
If the upper beam is straight, how can the lower beam be crooked?

Leaders often have a greater influence on the team's character, and Alfred is one of Dartford's visible leaders.

His abstinence from women and his strict punishments can ensure that Dartford maintains a positive image.

This news was sensational, but the controversy surrounding it was kept within a certain scope.

If anyone questions Alfred's influence in the Celtics, Emily's column provides a point of reference: "In terms of team management and prestige among the players, Alfred is the Celtics' version of Ferguson! In fact, he's even more authoritative than Ferguson!"

Emily used a comparative approach to demonstrate the influence of the two individuals within the team.

It was explicitly mentioned that Ferguson's dominance over Manchester United began to decline starting last year.

Part of it stemmed from his decision to retire.

Another part stems from the fact that the "good boy" Beckham entered his "rebellious teenage years," and began to frequently be late for training or even take leave.

Meanwhile, Beckham has been frequently appearing at commercial events, leading to rumors that his appearances on the sidelines are more important than his football career.

Finally, despite starting by talking about Alfred, Emily turned to Ferguson with a rhetorical question: "Perhaps he really should retire!"

The Dartford nightclub incident gradually shifted the focus to Ferguson's dominance over Manchester United.

As a fan, you can be uninterested in the messy affairs of a small team like Dartford, but you can't be uninterested in Manchester United – that's the influence Manchester United has at this stage.

Therefore, no one finds this shift in public attention strange.

Ferguson remained quite indifferent to this.

He has dominated English football for so many years, what storms hasn't he seen?

Such minor doubts cannot possibly shake him and Manchester United.

He even smiled and answered reporters' questions at the pre-match press conference for the Premier League, displaying his regal demeanor.

until……

“Hello, I’m Emily, a reporter from The Sun.” Emily was given the opportunity to speak.

Of course, this opportunity was earned.

Before the press conference began, she slipped a red envelope to Manchester United's press officer—no, in the West, this would be called a "publicity fee."

So she got a seat as a "member of parliament".

Upon hearing that it was The Sun, Ferguson laughed and said, "I know you, a very popular and beautiful reporter. You always manage to break a lot of interesting news."

"But unfortunately I can't give you the juicy gossip about Manchester United players going to nightclubs together."

The audience burst into laughter, captivated by Ferguson's humor.

Emily smiled and said, "My suggestion today has nothing to do with that. Wenger previously expressed his hope that Arsenal could defend their Premier League title."

"This is something only Manchester United has ever done, and they are currently fiercely competing with Manchester United for the top spot."

"So if you had a pistol but only one bullet, who would you choose to kill? Wenger or Victoria?"

Everyone was stunned.

What the hell is this problem?

if?

Does this make sense?
Ferguson, however, seemed particularly interested in the question, and laughed even harder: "Could I have two bullets?"

Hahaha!
The reporters at the scene burst into laughter.

Ferguson was even more pleased to see Emily laughing so hard.

Men, no matter how old, always like to show off their humor in front of women.

Ferguson's answer today was comprehensive, encompassing humor, literary merit, news value, and genuine thought.

Absolutely perfect!

Ninety minutes later, after Beckham scored a beautiful free kick to give Manchester United three points, reporters surrounded him and told him this little news from before the match.

Beckham's smile froze instantly.

He looked down, took a deep breath to calm himself, and reminded himself not to offend Ferguson.

Finally, he said in a somber voice, "I don't know exactly what the question was or what the answer was."

It means that you media outlets might be deliberately stirring up trouble.

"But if a bullet were to fly towards Victoria, I would not hesitate to shield her from it!"

It means, old man, if you have a problem, take it out on me, don't take it out on my wife.

Beckham's answer was very restrained and did not touch on the part about Ferguson.

But in fact, it was a very subtle way of expressing his dissatisfaction.

"My God, Beckham is so good to Victoria! They're truly in love!" Kayla shook her head, then turned to Lu Kai, "Lu, would you take a bullet for me?"

Lu Kai laughed and said, "If you keep asking these kinds of questions, then I'll have to go borrow bullets from Emily!"

Kayla: "I love your humor!"

Ashley Young, standing nearby, was utterly bewildered: "Huh? Is Victoria really that good? David actually wanted to take a bullet for her?"

"Victoria is just a woman whose mind is only on fame, fortune and money. She has no respect for football or dreams."

"How could Beckham marry her?"

The players drinking milk tea in the convenience store nodded in agreement.

This is the mainstream view in the football world at present.

Lu Kai smiled but said nothing.

Putting football aside, you can't sleep in the same bed with two different kinds of people.

Couples who truly love each other and can maintain their relationship for a long time, regardless of whether their personalities are similar or completely opposite, must share the same core values.

It goes without saying that they have similar personalities, which is easy to understand.

If two people have opposite personalities, it means that one of them is deliberately indulging the other, so that the other person has to deal with things that are inconvenient for them to handle.

David and Victoria Beckham are typical examples.

Beckham has a deep-seated interest in money, fame, and special treatment, but as a member of the Class of '92, he has always been a model student in the team and cannot show these qualities within the team environment.

People have different roles or masks in different environments.

The mask of Manchester United and football is a very important mask for Beckham, and he himself doesn't want to break it easily.

But being a heartthrob, a Hollywood icon, a fashion darling, an American entertainment figure, and a business empire are also masks that Beckham enjoys, and are even becoming more important than the Manchester United mask.

Beckham couldn't admit it, but coincidentally, Victoria also liked the mask, so Beckham gave Victoria tremendous support.

Ferguson and Beckham's downfall was inevitable because whenever he thought he was cursing Victoria, he was actually cursing Beckham.

When fundamental interests conflict, the "for your own good" argument becomes useless.

"By the way, where's Ivanka today?" Ashley Young noticed that someone was missing from the store.

Could it be that she went to do the task Lu Kai assigned her?
……

Coughy Cafe in London's Wanda Plaza.

Victoria was delighted to attend Paris's girls' gathering.

She savored the £1.68 bottle of apricot juice, her mind racing with thoughts of how to get herself on Parish's reality show to expand her and Beckham's business empire in the United States.

“Oh! Shit! How could he say that!” Ivanka angrily showed Paris the news on her phone.

Paris was also angry after seeing it: "This old man is so annoying, Victoria, I really feel sorry for you having to meet someone like this."

Victoria was taken aback, thinking something had happened to Beckham.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be news related to Ferguson's two bullets.

To be honest, Victoria has heard this kind of talk a lot.

Ferguson even said worse things to her face, and Beckham didn't dare to argue back.

But while she can endure hardship in private, Victoria has to stand up for herself in front of her sisters!
“He’s really meddling too much. Who does he think he is?” Victoria began to berate Ferguson.

Ivanka suggested, "You're absolutely right. I think what you said deserves to be heard more. How about this, you post it, and we'll support you!"

"At least on this matter, I support you in any situation!"

Victoria looked a little grim because there were many things she had just said that couldn't be broadcast: "Oh, Ivanka, you're so kind."

Ivanka hugged Victoria and said, "It's okay, because we're best friends!"

Paris and Kardashian also immediately expressed their support.

Thus, Victoria found herself in a difficult position and had no choice but to give an interview in response to Ferguson's two-bullet analogy: "Football is football, and life is life. As a player, you can expect your life to be filled with football as well."

"But as a coach, there is no reason to force players to live a life entirely focused on football."

"Players are not machines, nor are they puppets manipulated by Ferguson; they should have their own lives."

"Ferguson, please give David back his life!"

Victoria issued a strong protest!

Ivanka nodded on camera and said, "That's right! Ferguson, apologize to Victoria!"

Paris and Kardashian: "Apologize!"

The interview was supposed to end there, but Victoria was probably moved by the atmosphere and became bolder. She actually expressed a novel viewpoint to the camera!

These were Ivanka's views during a previous conversation about the American entertainment industry and business operations.

Because it was so reasonable and advanced, it had a huge impact on Victoria.

Ivanka's point was that the United States is the center of the world, and Europe has no future.

Beckham's future focus should be on the United States.

To go to the United States, Beckham must first completely conquer Europe; only with this halo can he quickly establish himself.

There's a place in Europe that can help Beckham accomplish this quickly – Real Madrid!

Real Madrid represents the pinnacle of commercial football club operations in recent years, bar none.

Beckham is the most popular football player in recent years, bar none.

The combination of the two, regardless of the level of competition, will result in popularity and commercial success that is greater than the sum of its parts!
Paris, who doesn't understand football, is one thing, but Victoria understood the value of this advice and no longer dared to underestimate Ivanka.

As expected of the daughter of a business tycoon, this is truly insightful!
"If Ferguson doesn't know how to respect David, then he can totally join Real Madrid! It's a better place for him than Manchester United, and a much higher peak!"

This statement sent shockwaves through English football!
It's worth noting that England has been fiercely competing with Spain for the title of the new world's number one league for the past two years!

Everyone wants to take the crown from Serie A.

So you're saying the best player in English football is going to play in Spain?

Isn't this tantamount to admitting defeat?

Ferguson launched the "two-bullet war".

Victoria retaliated with "Beckham goes to Real Madrid".

He does not mean that.

Ferguson was truly enraged by Victoria this time.

He publicly stated within the team that he and Victoria could never coexist!

This is practically tantamount to forcing Beckham to divorce.

Although Beckham did not respond to Ferguson, he did give Victoria a serious reprimand when he got home.

Some things are better left unsaid!
Because once you say it out loud... you'll actually start having related thoughts.

Beckham did indeed have the Real Madrid crest flash through his mind, though he immediately dismissed it.

"Don't mention Real Madrid again! In any situation!" Beckham warned Victoria sternly, then went to another room.

We'll be sleeping in separate rooms tonight!
Victoria was so frightened that she cried.

……

On January 23, Dartford defeated Huddersfield 4-2 at home, returning to second place in League Two.

The fourth round of the FA Cup kicked off on January 26.

Dartford have encountered another Premier League team – West Ham United!
The two sides were on very amicable terms before the game because Holt had gone home.

He is currently one of Dartford's key strikers.

The other forward for the West Ham is Defoe, a close friend of Ashley Young.

The two also embraced warmly in the players' tunnel.

Ashley Young: "Defoe, I'm taller than you now!"

Defoe shoved Ashley Young aside and unilaterally blocked the jerk.

Ashley Young was 1.65 meters tall, and Defoe was 1.7 meters tall.

Ashley Young is now 1.83 meters tall, and Defoe is 1.71 meters tall.

Defoe said regretfully, "If only I hadn't been a little shorter back then. If I were ten centimeters taller, I would have been a black-clad, super-sized version of Kyrie Irving!"

Ashley Young: "Huh? Lu? You mean I grew taller because I had less Lu?"

Defoe nodded: "Yes. The Sun even said that Alfred forbade you guys from going to nightclubs to have fun because it was for the players' health."

"He cited your example to illustrate the huge impact of lubrication on height, saying that your height increased dramatically because you quit lubrication. He also said that Vardy, who is 1.58 meters tall, could easily grow to 1.8 meters tall if he sticks to the Dartford training method."

Ashley Young's face turned green: "So now all of England knows that I didn't have a girlfriend back then, and I had to be all alone..."

Defoe: "Don't make it sound so nice. Do you have a girlfriend now? I may not be as tall as you, but I've had more than a dozen girlfriends!"

Ashley Young suffers another blow.

In addition, some well-known West Ham United players participated in this match.

Team's core player, Joe Cole.

The brilliant midfielder Carrick.

Anton Ferdinand, the younger brother of Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand.

The brilliant full-back Glen Johnson.

The lineup isn't bad either.

But they've been playing terribly this season and are currently in the Premier League relegation zone.

In the end, they really will be relegated.

In this game, Ashley Young successfully showed off in front of his old friend.

With one goal and one assist, Dartford kept a 2-0 shutout against West Ham.

After the game, he approached Defoe to exchange jerseys, but Defoe declined, as he needed time to process seeing his brother driving a Land Rover.

On January 30th, Dartford will play away against Stoke City.

The team won 3-1.

However, in the final stages of the match, after Ashley Young was tackled by an opponent, Lu Kai became "emotionally agitated" and repeatedly pushed and shoved the opponent, leading to a conflict between the two sides and questioning the referee's decision.

Lu Kai: "Why did you only give me a yellow card? Give me a red card if you dare!"

The referee was stunned. He had never heard of such a request before. He knew he had to satisfy Lu Kai, so he promptly issued another yellow card.

Ashley Young was moved to tears.

Lu Kai, I'm going to cry my eyes out!
As Ten Hach and Ashley Young walked back to the locker room together, he whispered, "Young, don't be fooled by Lu."

“He is deliberately trying to win people’s hearts. Today he can stand up to others and get red for you, and tomorrow he can stand up to others and get red for Amorim.”

Amorin, standing to the side, said, "Isn't this better?"

Vardy, a child, never lies: "Because Lu will not get Teng Hai dyed red."

Ten Hag broke through the defense on the spot.

After the match, Lu Kai guessed that there should be new developments in Beckham's situation, so he started browsing the news.

Then I saw a news article in World Sport, and I was instantly drenched in sweat.

Mundo Deportivo: "Lu Kai definitely suffers from a yellow and red card addiction! Our investigation has revealed that Lu Kai intentionally or unintentionally receives yellow or red cards before various cup competitions!"

"We have reason to believe that Lu Kai is using this method to get himself into better shape in preparation for the important matches to come."

“The more important the game, the more serious the fouls committed by Lu Kai in advance.”

"For example, Lu Kai received a red card this time because the next match is the EFL Cup final, where they will face the Premier League champions Manchester United!"

To be fair, Catalan media do possess a certain level of professionalism when it doesn't involve Lu Kai, Real Madrid, or Barcelona.

Lu Kai shook his head, realizing he had been too careless.

As a result, I wonder how many people will pay attention to their red and yellow card issues. In the future... (9 clicks?)

Lu Kai then looked at the previous issues of World Sports Daily, which all had thousands or tens of thousands of clicks.

This……

It seems that fans are not interested in the rambling analysis of Mundo Deportivo; they prefer to read something that seems scientific but is actually emotional.

For example, phrases like "Lu Kai's manners are really bad, he has become England's card-eating king".

Of course, another reason is that the war between Ferguson and Victoria has entered a new phase, drawing everyone's attention.

……

The day before the league match this week, Victoria and Beckham had been giving each other the cold shoulder for several days, and she still couldn't find a way to ease their tension.

Beckham is really angry this time.

But on Ivanka's recommendation, Victoria contacted Kayla and obtained some equipment from her.

It includes, but is not limited to, a series of props such as "rope net battle robe", "bunny girl set + tail", and "yoga pants".

Victoria was initially very skeptical.

But she quickly gained Beckham's forgiveness.

This caused Beckham to be late for the team the next day.

Beckham was also listless during the warm-up that day.

Beckham took a nap in the afternoon and seems to have recovered.

But his performance that day did not escape Ferguson's notice.

Today is Manchester United hosting Liverpool in a Manchester derby.

Manchester United dominated the first half for most of the time, but failed to score.

As a result, Irving launched a counter-attack and won a free kick in a good position.

Gerrard's free kick deflected off Beckham's shoulder and bounced into the goal.

Zero to one!

Liverpool are leading away from home!
Seventy minutes into the second half, Beckham, who is known for his stamina, was surprisingly unable to run anymore.

It's not that we're actually not moving, but rather that our willingness to move has decreased, our running speed has decreased, and our coverage area and delivery rate have declined.

This is a sign of insufficient physical strength.

Aside from players who are inherently lazy, the root cause of most players' lack of motivation to run is a problem with their physical fitness.

Leo: Hehe.

As a result of Beckham's poor coverage, Manchester United's defense was exposed, and Owen scored again.

Liverpool beat Manchester United 2-0!

Manchester United's lead in the standings has been narrowed by second-placed Arsenal!
After the match, Gerrard, the Man of the Match, was asked about that free kick.

He laughed and said, "Recently there have been some articles saying that Beckham has a habit of dodging free kicks. I don't know if you've seen them... they're from The Voice of Green Guns."

"They analyzed Beckham's performance in the wall over the past two years and found that he was increasingly worried about being hit by the ball."

"So today I specifically aimed at that angle, and he really didn't jump much, and then what you saw..."

Gerrard wasn't trying to ride on Beckham's coattails; it's just that it's true.

He paid close attention to news about Green Gun and even registered as a member of the Green Gun Voice website to get firsthand information.

He saw this news in his private messages; the website had specifically pushed it to him, along with several other messages about Beckham's playing habits.

It must be said that this content played a certain role in today's Red Cross meeting.

It would be great if the next time they play Arsenal, The Voice of Green Guns would also publish some analysis of the weaknesses of Henry, Bergkamp, ​​and Vieira.

However, why do I have to fill in personal information such as name, height, weight, age, occupation, income, and residential address when registering?
Fortunately, the website promised to protect users' personal privacy and would never disclose it, otherwise Gerrard wouldn't have dared to fill it out!
But since they made a promise, they certainly won't break it!
After all, it's about the spirit of contracts!

Ferguson overheard this conversation as he walked past Gerrard.

He was already angry, but he became completely enraged.

Is Beckham afraid of being hit by a football?
They're probably worried about his handsome face getting disfigured while he's eating!

"That damn entertainment star! He doesn't deserve to play football at all!" Ferguson stormed into the locker room, cursing.

In the locker room, Beckham was also in a bad mood after the loss.

Ferguson had already criticized him during halftime.

He knew that he was one of the main reasons for today's loss.

So as soon as he came in, he threw his sneakers all over the place and sat down in front of his locker.

Seeing Beckham's mood, the others didn't dare to say anything.

Until Ferguson stormed in: "You lazy bum, you played like a piece of crap today! You don't deserve the jersey you're wearing!"

"Don't think I don't know what you've been up to lately. Can you honestly say you got a good night's rest last night?" "Do you even understand the significance of the Merseyside derby for us? Do you still want the team to win the Premier League title? Or do you want to win La Liga?"

"You're running way less than usual today. If you don't want to play, just say so. Don't tank on the field!"

"Everyone worked hard for 90 minutes, and you're being humiliated just because of your laziness. You're terrible!"

"You should fix your face and go to Hollywood to make your movies! A football field isn't your film set!"

Everyone dispersed.

Ferguson was firing on all cylinders today.

But what surprised people even more was that the usually docile Beckham actually yelled back at Ferguson in equal anger: "Have you fucking had enough yet?"

"You always say that to me?"

"I've already explained, I did oversleep this morning, but I've apologized. What else do you want me to do, you little bastard?"

"Can you please stop acting like a shrew, taking your anger out on the players when something goes wrong?"

"Compared to Wenger, you're fucking lousy!"

"You're not even as good as Hollier outside!"

Later, according to Beckham's memoir, he never said that much "F content".

Outside the door, Houllier, who had heard the commotion and wanted to come in and mediate, was shut down by Beckham's last words.

Can't be bothered.

Let Manchester United handle their own affairs.

"You fucking talk to me like that?" Ferguson was both shocked and furious.

Beckham finally dared to challenge him!

The good kid has finally rebelled and turned into a bad kid!

How dare you talk to me like that!

Ferguson kicked Beckham's shoe that was in the way.

boom!
After 20 years of coaching, he's still a player at heart!

Ferguson was very accurate.

The sneaker went straight for Beckham's left eye.

The shoe spikes cut Beckham's eyebrow, and blood flowed instantly.

After feeling the pain, Beckham covered his eyes, and when he looked at the blood on his palm, he thought he had been blinded by Ferguson.

"I kill you!"

Beckham charged toward Ferguson.

At this point, the Manchester United players realized something was wrong.

"No!"

"Don't do that, David!"

Keane and Van Nistelrooy stopped Beckham.

Ferguson was startled and took a step back, but realizing he had been frightened by Beckham, he became even angrier, or rather, enraged: "You actually tried to lay a hand on me?"

"I think you've really been drugged by that bitch!"

Beckham screamed frantically, "I wasn't drugged! I won't allow you to insult her!"

Ferguson gritted his teeth: "You greedy brat! Don't think I don't know who Victoria got those words from!"

"Business development, acting in movies, going to Real Madrid, going to America—can you honestly say these aren't your ideas?"

"I saw through your tricks a long time ago, I just didn't expose you!"

"Criticizing Victoria is me being lenient with you!"

"You idiot!"

This time, it was Beckham's turn to be briefly stunned before becoming furious.

He opened his right hand from Keane's side and punched Fanny in the eye: "Get out of here, you idiot!"

Beckham lunged at Ferguson, completely losing his temper.

Ferguson shattered the facade he had maintained for years.

He couldn't face himself like that, so he could only choose... destruction!

"No! David!"

Scholes pounced, changing Beckham's trajectory.

The two rushed to the side.

when!
Scholes' head slammed hard against the corner of the wall.

"Paul, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Beckham looked at Scholes.

“Don’t do that, David, we are… Manchester United!” Scholes said, touching the back of his head and seeing his hand covered in blood.

The next moment, Scholes lost consciousness.

"Doctor! Get a doctor quickly!"

"Take him to the hospital!"

"Hurry, something's happened!"

The Manchester United dressing room was in complete chaos.

Ferguson was nearly knocked down by Beckham, but Eastwood caught him. He clutched his chest and said, "Thank you, I..."

The locker room became even more chaotic.

Many people were stunned.

This... could it be... that someone is going to die?
Eastwood quickly helped Ferguson pull out some nitroglycerin pills from his inner pocket and fed them to him.

Ferguson slowly recovered: "You..."

Eastwood said, "Don't speak yet, let's take a moment."

O'Shea, standing nearby, was amazed by Eastwood's actions: "Did he specifically take a first aid test? That's so professional!"

Eastwood smiled slightly.

It's just a habit I developed in Dartford.

The moment they see someone attacking their captain and coach, their DNA kicks in!
Diego Fran sighed.

He was already competing with Eastwood for the first substitute position, and the two were evenly matched.

But Eastwood's actions... he's in for a tough time now!

……

"Yes, yes, that's the angle."

"Yes, that's the right posture."

“Lift it up a little more…yes, yes, yes…”

At the exit of the Old Trafford stadium parking lot, Emily was directing several paparazzi to take pictures with long lenses and tripods.

Then, they immediately released a super headline that shocked the entire UK.

The Sun: "Beckham's injured brow, Van Nistelrooy's dark circles under his eyes, Ferguson frantically chewing nitroglycerin pills, and Ginger's wild idea of ​​being sent to the hospital—this is Manchester United!"

Emily also appeared on camera herself: "In fact, through recent rumors, we all know that there are problems in the Manchester United dressing room."

"Some people have said that Manchester United's dressing room has become a time bomb."

"But no matter what, we can't believe it would explode at this time, in this way!"

The "flying boot" scandal was triggered two weeks in advance!

Even more lethal!
Other media outlets followed suit and investigated further.

Breaking news keeps coming!

Sky Sports: "Flying Boot Scandal! Ferguson's kick shatters the Manchester United dressing room! Beckham fights with his wife!"

BBC: "Under Ferguson's pressure, the Red Devils dynasty collapsed! Beckham could not balance business and football, let alone his wife and mentor!"

France Football: "Beckham injured Van Nistelrooy and Scholes, making it difficult for all three to appear in the EFL Cup final."

Tuttosport: "Manchester United in disarray? Juventus have a chance to defeat the Red Devils twice in the Champions League, aiming to win the title!"

Bild: "Ferguson didn't just kick his boots off, he kicked Beckham. Beckham didn't just hurt his teammates, he hurt himself and Manchester United's past!"

Dongqiudi: "Manchester United is embroiled in the flying boot incident. Do you support Ferguson or Beckham more?"

The Washington Post: "Beckham needs seven stitches between his eyebrows; Ferguson's kick may have sent his multi-billion dollar business empire flying! Victoria may seek compensation from Ferguson!"

At Ivanka's prompting, Victoria deliberately had Beckham get many stitches and publicly displayed the wounds to solidify Ferguson's guilt.

This allowed Beckham to gain public support.

Now that things have turned sour, you need to ensure your own safety.

Even if a reconciliation is to be reached in the future, the cards in our hand will be more substantial.

Soon, the "flying boot incident" became known worldwide, becoming the biggest hot topic of the year, and it even went beyond its original niche.

Because Beckham has a great influence in the fashion and film industries.

Many people involved were interviewed.

For example, Wenger said: "I know about Ferguson's two bullets, but I didn't expect him to really hate his players that much. The dressing room was out of control, which is a sign of a manager's incompetence."

"We should reason with the players, instead of letting our emotions control us."

"What's the difference between that and an animal?"

The professor retaliated fiercely against Ferguson, and you can't say he was kicking someone when they were down, since Ferguson fired the first shot.

Van Nistelrooy expressed his dissatisfaction with Beckham in an interview: "David is disappointing. He shouldn't have said those things to the boss."

“We are players. Even if we don’t listen to the coach off the field, that’s the locker room, which is still within the scope of the game.”

After Van Nistelrooy arrived at Manchester United, he quickly became friends with Beckham.

Moreover, the two have great chemistry in terms of playing style.

Van Nistelrooy needs Beckham's cross to score.

Beckham also needs Van Nistelrooy's goal to convert his crosses into statistics.

It can be said that their friendship was a two-way street.

However, emotions mixed with self-interest can quickly crumble when interests clash.

Van Nistelrooy knew who was in charge at Manchester United, and he sided with Ferguson.

This led to a falling out between Beckham and Van Nistelrooy.

When Van Nistel gets married next year, she'll be too embarrassed to send Beckham an invitation.

When they reunited at Real Madrid in the future, Beckham only maintained a superficial peace with Van Nistelrooy.

In contrast, Scholes' interview was much more emotional, after all, it was Class of '92.

Ginger Head Scholes' head was wrapped up like a grapefruit: "I don't blame David. Everyone was very emotional at the time, so some bad things happened."

“But I know David, he didn’t mean to hurt anyone.”

"In fact, it's a stroke of luck that things were brought under control to the point where I got injured. David didn't actually have anything going on with the boss, which means there's still room for things to be salvaged."

Everything will pass.

David made a mistake, but it wasn't a huge one.

"I hope he can find the boss and have a good talk, sincerely admit his mistake, and I believe the boss will forgive Beckham."

Reporter: "Why do you think they will forgive each other?"

Scholes: "Because we are the Red Devils!"

Watching Scholes' interview on television, Beckham was moved to tears.

He had been panicking for a while, and he no longer harbored any resentment towards Ferguson.

If he had known the consequences, he wouldn't have retaliated or fought back even if Ferguson had actually blinded him.

Everything back then was so wonderful.

He didn't want to lose all of this.

The helpless child heard the wise man's advice, and Beckham mustered up the courage to dial the Ferguson family's landline number...

"Hello, the number you dialed is currently busy. Please try again later..."

???

Do the British also use China Telecom?
"Yes, thank you for your concern. That's my attitude too. I'll talk to the old man about it later. Thank you, Alfred."

Casey hung up the phone.

Alfred just called and talked for a long time, but the core message was the same.

The goal is to reconcile Ferguson and Beckham, because Manchester United really can't do without Beckham right now, and Arsenal is pursuing him too aggressively... Anyway, this demonstrates Beckham's importance from a professional perspective.

On the contrary, his foolish sons even tried to incite Ferguson to completely break with Beckham.

People who say such things have no idea what the Red Devils dynasty meant to Ferguson and that group of players.

Back then, football fields were battlefields, not the stage or workplace they are today and in the future.

How could a life-or-death friendship be changed by a single conflict?

Casey went downstairs to find Ferguson.

But while still on the stairs, they heard a jarring sound from the television: "American socialite Paris Hilton releases a preview of her reality show, The Simple Life."

"Experience Hilton's upscale sisterhood and meet Hilton's exceptional girlfriends."

"It not only features Ivanka Trump, the female lead in 'Green Gun,' and her sidekick Kim Kardashian, but also Victoria Beckham, David Beckham's wife!"

Then came some juicy tidbits gleaned from the preview clips.

It was footage that was cut from Victoria's interview because the content was too extreme. Victoria herself felt that it was something she could only say and that no one else should hear it.

But Paris bought it!

He backstabs her with a backhand!
These fake friendships are all about taking advantage of each other!
"Ferguson is a control freak! Sometimes I even suspect he's attracted to men!"

"The Red Devils dynasty is the achievement of the players, not Ferguson!"

"Whether it's player development or tactical acumen, Ferguson is far inferior to Wenger!"

"Manchester United's treble-winning season was all thanks to David! This isn't something I made up; it's something Ferguson himself admitted!"

"He once got drunk and told the players that he was nothing without a certain person. That person he was talking about must have been David!"

boom!
Ferguson angrily smashed the remote control.

Almost at the same time, Beckham threw the remote control at Victoria: "What did you do?!"

Victoria was terrified. She immediately dialed Paris's number: "You bitch, you fucking got me into trouble! Why did you send those things out?"

"Your show won't air! I'll sue you, I'll keep sue you!"

"Fuck oil M..."

Beckham didn't have time to listen to Victoria's public feud; he knew that this time there was probably really no way to salvage the situation.

He drove to Ferguson's house immediately.

He wants to explain in person.

He absolutely did not say those things. Victoria was just making things up; she was tricked by a persona. That damned Paris…

Soon, Beckham arrived at Ferguson's house and was about to knock when he heard Ferguson yelling at Casey.

This……

Ferguson never spoke harshly to his teacher's wife; on the contrary, she held a very high position.

Why today...

in the room.

"So after all you've told me, you mean you also think I couldn't have succeeded without Beckham?" Ferguson was furious.

Kessie explained: "No, that's not it. I mean David is a good kid, so please forgive him this time. Besides, Manchester United really needs him right now; he's the best player in England."

Ferguson interrupted Casey abruptly, raising his voice: "Fine, fine! I know, that's what you've always thought."

"Just like before, you've never changed, Casey. You always think I need someone else's help."

"Without Alfred, I could not have become a coach, and I could not have established myself at Manchester United!"

"Without Beckham, I could not make Manchester United great again!"

"I will always be a loser in your eyes, even if everyone else except you acknowledges my achievements!"

Casey burst into tears: "No, I didn't. Alex, it was you... The only one who doubts you is yourself!"

Bang!

The place was a scene of destruction.

An enraged Ferguson pulled out his phone: "I'm informing the team right now, my Manchester United doesn't need Beckham! He will never play for the Red Devils again!"

"forever!"

Beckham stood at the door, looking utterly dejected.

He didn't know how he got home.

But he knew it was all over.

Red Beckham is dead.

A white Beckham is being conceived.

Similarly, Beckham's Red Devils are also dead.

The Red Devils of the Raptors are about to begin.

……

February 3rd, the day of the EFL Cup final.

Cardiff Millennium Stadium.

The media erupted in as Manchester United players emerged from the team bus.

Sky Sports: "Beckham, Scholes, and Van Nistelrooy did not travel with the team to the Millennium Stadium! Manchester United have crippled themselves by half, with only Giggs among their attacking quartet!"

BBC: "Ferguson refused to answer any questions about Beckham, whose assistant coach said he was absent due to injury."

The Times: "Victoria posted a photo of Beckham playing football in his yard while wearing a jersey, captioning it 'Not letting him play football is persecution!'"

The Echo: "Scholes and Van Nistelrooy's absences due to injury are understandable, but Beckham has been permanently blacklisted by Ferguson!"

Kent Post: "After the farce, there will be no more full moon in English football! Wenger and the Red Gunners, who benefited the most, may be the masterminds behind it all!"

The Echo: "The insidious French are plotting to destroy English football! The Italians, fearing being overtaken, and their rivals, the Spanish, may also be involved!"

Manchester Evening News: "As a Red Devil, no matter how many titles Arsenal wins in the future, I will not support them. I would rather support Dartford! Even if the Greens are our opponents in this game, at least they won't be so dirty!"

Wenger: ? ? ?
……

Inside the Dartford team bus.

Alfred, Ivanka, Jiang Mengyun, Kayla, Emily, and others sat in the last row, all looking somewhat melancholy.

This reflects the sense of powerlessness and fear of the unknown that comes from being involved in a major event and feeling out of control of it.

Emily: "Are we really sure it's okay to do this?"

Jiang Mengyun: "The whole of English football is in chaos, as if it's on the verge of decline."

Alfred: "Perhaps I shouldn't have made that call to Casey?"

Ivanka: "For the first time, I felt that Paris was so stupid, and this feeling of being manipulated made me feel like a stranger to myself."

Kayla: "Victoria said my props work really well, so will they work on Lu?"

Everyone looked at Kayla.

Kayla quickly interjected, "I mean, does this mean we can win this match?"

Lu Kai looked out the window: "Perhaps, all we've done is just to create a possibility for the team."

"Don't forget, this is Manchester United!"

"Don't be so sentimental. Have you seen the name Dartford in the news lately?"

"Almost none, right?"

"Even a starved camel is bigger than an ant! In other people's eyes, we are just tiny ants with no presence, and we don't even deserve to be put on the dinner table."

"While you are saddened by the breaking of an elephant's tusks, the elephant has casually trampled and killed countless ants like us with a single step."

"So, focus on the present, focus on ourselves. Okay?"

Everyone nodded.

Lu Kai: "Besides, the more you cut open and mash a festering wound, the faster it is likely to heal."

"The flying boot incident was certainly a heavy blow to Manchester United, but it's better for these problems to surface sooner rather than later."

"At least Manchester United still has a chance to take off again, but if they drag it out for another twenty years... Manchester United will just be a joke!"

"The same goes for English football!"

Ashley Young pulled out a book, pointed to a sentence, and asked, "Lu, how do you pronounce this sentence in Chinese?"

Lu Kai looked at the picture and said, "Studying medicine won't save the people of Zhongguo."

Ashley Young pressed further, "What exactly do you mean?"

Lu Kai: "It probably means that Manchester United can't save English football."

Ashley Young: "Then who can save us?"

Lu Kai did not reply.

Because we've gone outside the stadium.

Outside the car window, Green Gunners fans, dressed in green and white jerseys, kept chanting:
"Datford!"

In an instant, Alfred and the others all understood!
This game is not just about Dartford, but about the rise of English football!

The psychological burden vanished instantly.

They looked at Lu Kai, who was bathed in sunlight by the window, and thought that only Dartford could save English football!
Because Lu Kai is only here!

Ashley Young, nicknamed "Green Gun Zigong," still had doubts and asked again, "Then, who can save Zhongguo Football..."

Lu Kai: "Emily, give me the bullets!"

Bang bang bang!
Farewell, Zigong.
