Chapter 124, Ferdinand's decision
Until the end of the first half, Manchester United did not score again and regained the lead.
In fact, there was not much time left for Manchester United to score goals.
The first half was over quickly after they re-kicked off.
In the locker room, everyone noticed that Ferdinand's mood was not very high.
Strictly speaking, the conceded goal in the first half was indeed Ferdinand's problem.
When he was defending Suya Reiss, he was directly swayed by the opponent's rhythm and lost his center of gravity, and then was shot by Suya Reiss.
So Ferdinand believes that his own mistakes caused the team to lose the ball.
Seeing the vice-captain blame himself so much made everyone feel uncomfortable.
In fact, although Ferdinand is getting older and his body is not as good as before, relying on his experience, he has helped the team save the day many times.
It can be said that a mistake cannot erase Ferdinand's contribution to the team.
It is time to find a way to comfort Ferdinand.
But the vice-captain's performance in the locker room has always been very strong. Everyone is afraid that if they comfort him, it will cause him dissatisfaction. …
After all, this was a slap in the face of the vice-captain in front of everyone.
Only one person didn't think that much.
When Li Ao entered the locker room, he keenly sensed the strange atmosphere, but his reaction was quick enough, he didn't even look at Ferdinand, he just turned around and groaned towards the door.
"That Suya Reiss is just playing tricks! If the team mate hadn't slipped his foot before, how could he succeed?!"
Looking at him like that, it seems that someone outside just happened to talk about this matter.
Rooney is also a smart guy.
Seeing that Li Ao suddenly turned his head and talked about Suya Reiss and Ferdinand as soon as he entered the door, he immediately understood what Li Ao was going to do.
He answered immediately.
"Who says it's not? With that small body... If the team officer doesn't slip, he'll just wait to hit the wall!"
Li Ao turned his head and looked at Rooney with a happy face.
"Ah! Li Ao sees the same thing! In the second half, let me show them what a real titan is!"
Ferdinand couldn't help laughing when he heard the performance of these two people acting like a play here.
Of course he knows what these two people are doing, in fact, he also knows everyone's mood.
It's just that I'm used to being strong in the locker room, and it's hard to change that mentality all of a sudden...
I am no longer a strong central defender, and my right to speak in the locker room is slowly losing.
retired!
This idea suddenly popped up in his mind, and once it popped up, he was like possessed by a demon, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what, he just wanted to retire, he should retire.
The reason is also very simple, he is a very strong player, his image is the same as his playing style, brave style, aggressive tackle and interception.
Therefore, he can't tolerate this mistake in this game frequently appearing in his subsequent games!
Still, he thanked Li Ao and Rooney for their kindness.
The stage starts, and Li Gao hands.
"Okay, stop acting, you two. I know that's my problem, for whatever reason, the fact that I slipped before the other side got the ball. There's nothing you can't say. Even If he doesn't hit me, I'll slip and fall myself...it's normal, I'm old..."
What he said was a little helpless, anyone could hear the unwillingness in his heart.
Since he came to Manchester United, he has been the backbone of Manchester United's defense.
It is the absolute hero of the team's response to the newly rising forces like Chelsea, winning three consecutive Premier League titles and the third Champions League title in team history!
It is such a player who is as hard as granite, and now he says "I am old", and the helplessness in his tone is really sad.
Carrick heard a bad taste from his tone.
"Leo..."
His words were interrupted by Ferdinand.
"Just now, I have made a decision, I decided to retire at the end of this season.
He said something that shocked everyone in a very flat tone.
Mourinho was pushing the door of the dressing room, and just opened a crack when he heard Ferdinand's voice.
...I decided to retire at the end of this tournament.
He froze for a moment, but didn't take this step.
"You're crazy, Leo!" followed by Carrick's exclamation.
"What... what's going on here?"
Li Ao was also surprised.
"I'm not crazy. I've seriously thought about it. I should retire. I'm thirty-six, which is a good age to retire, Stephen.
...asking for flowers......
Ferdinand's voice sounded dead.
"Don't think about it, it's just a defensive error, as for?"
Carrick countered.
"Yes, yes. And it's only a draw. There are forty-five minutes left. We can overtake them in the second half...it's no big deal, you really don't have to take it to heart...throw What are you afraid of with a ball? I also make mistakes, who in this room has not made mistakes? You say, right?!"
Li Ao looked around the dressing room and said to everyone.
Everyone stood up to express their support for Li Ao's point of view.
"Yes, lieutenant. We've all made mistakes..."
"I've scored own goals before [it's no big deal. …
0...
"What's an own goal? I almost shoveled one of my own people!"
"It's just a near miss, I made a lot of mistakes..."
"Hey, that's nothing to you guys. I used to run around with the ball in the youth team [and shoot the ball into my own goal] and the coach was going crazy on the sidelines! I didn't even know I was What happened then...
For a while, the locker room became a self-criticism meeting where everyone vented their shortness of breath and exposed their family ugliness.
Seeing such a pair of teammates scrambling to blackmail him and persuade himself to withdraw his decision to retire, although Ferdinand had a smile on his face, his eyes were filled with tears.
He stood up from his seat.
Seeing the deputy captain get up, everyone calmed down.
"I thank you all, I understand everyone's thoughts...but this is not just a mistake, it is a signal. It reminds me that I should retire. My body is no longer strong enough to support this high-intensity season. The confrontation, I am a little powerless.
"To be honest, I thought I could play at a high level for a few more years, but I didn't expect..."
"At first I was a little upset that the owner put me on the bench, but now it seems that he did the right thing... I really don't have the physical condition to play for a top team."
Ferdinand looked at Li Ao.
"Thank you, Li. I originally wanted to go to a team that didn't attract so much attention to continue my career, but I think... instead of lingering, it's better to bloom at the most splendid time and leave everyone The image of the next mighty Rio Ferdinand is dead.",
