The most low-key superstar

Chapter 353 Still Depends On Nicole

[It should have been in Abu Dhabi, but considering the physical arrangements for the Manchester United team, this session should be handed over to Japan. 】

------

Arriving at the conference hall of the hotel, as soon as Nicole entered, his eyes were blinded by countless flashing lights. There were too many reporters.

When he came to Japan last time, Nichols didn't do well in Japan, especially Nichols' contempt for the Japanese team caused Japanese reporters to denounce Nichols one after another.

However, the Japanese are a nation that worships the strong and is good at learning. When you are strong enough, they will become extremely respectful to you.

This press conference is staged, Mr. Ferguson has finished his interview and now it's Nickell's.

The reporter's questions were similar, basically they were opinions on opponents, predictions on the game, etc. However, Nickel still encountered some headaches later on.

"What are the gaps in Japanese football? Where do we need to improve?"

"As a successful professional football player, what details should be paid attention to?"

"Will Nicole retire at Manchester United?"

"..."

Most of the people who raised these questions were Japanese journalists. After all, there are a large number of them, and the influence of the Club World Cup in the world is far from enough. It did not attract more European journalists. Most of them were tabloid reporters from England. Their purpose is to look for opportunities to spy on whether there will be any scandals about Manchester United players in Japan, the AV country.

Of course, their target is Rooney, who has repeatedly been rumored to be a mess.

"What's your opinion on your team-mate Wayne Rooney's prostitution scandal?"

Rooney's prostitution scandal has transformed into Britain's most popular "serial", so tabloids from all walks of life have spared no effort to "shoot" a prequel, sequel, or companion story to the soap opera.Rooney's various fun-seeking stories have also been exposed one by one.Became the second sports superstar hit by the "Nike Curse" after Tiger Woods.

Many superstars who endorsed Nike in the United States, from Woods, Carlos Tevez, Ronaldo, Franck Ribery to Makelele, all became famous because of scandals.Perhaps these stars are faithfully fulfilling Nike's motto: "Just do it!" Just do it.Although some so-called brand experts alarmistly claimed that Rooney would lose a lot of sponsorship contracts because of the prostitution scandal, the three big and fat sponsors of Nike, Coca-Cola and EA Sports have successively issued statements emphasizing that this is Rooney's private matter and will not affect the continued cooperation between the two parties.In fact, Ferguson originally only allowed Rooney to sign less than 5 sponsorship contracts. He does not have the problem of reducing endorsement contracts. As long as he scores goals on the court, there will be cheers, applause, flowers and cash.

These problems were very difficult, and Nicole couldn't help but rubbed his temples on both sides.

"I can only answer part of these questions. Japanese football has improved significantly over the years. I think it is good enough. I'm just a professional player, so I can't say anything about it."

"Professional players pay attention to the details, that is to use various methods to maintain your enthusiasm for playing football, which is very important." Nickel was very careful when answering this question, because there is another question about Rooney, which is actually a trap , if Nickell raised the player's morality very high, then how to answer Rooney's question later?

"As for Wayne, he's a successful football player and like I said, if his private life doesn't affect his form, he doesn't need to be judged by others, and Wayne has always been a very dangerous threat. Guy, I have to be careful even in team games, to be honest, Wayne is too good."

"Cunning guy!" Nichol's answer was actually saying nothing, and the reporters couldn't help feeling secretly sad.

While British newspapers, large and small, tried their best to report any details of Rooney's scandal, the parties involved appeared quite calm.

It is said that when Capello first met Rooney after reading the prostitution story, Capello asked him, "How are you?"

Rooney replied, "Fine."

Capello then asked, "Can you play?"

Rooney said, "Yes."

That's it, if there was a need to worry about his mental state, then Capello would have to consider whether to use him, but he never thought about it.

On the training ground, Rooney took the initiative to find Nickell.

"Nicole, buddy." The smiling Rooney gave Nicole the urge to beat him up.

Nicole pushed Rooney's hand away, "Be careful, David is watching over there?"

"David? It's okay, he won't say anything?"

In fact, although Rooney doesn't care about the exposure of such things, he still cares about his teammates' opinions. If his teammates are disgusted, then his future in this team will be very bleak.

"Okay, Wayne, I'm not interested in your personal hobbies, but, as a friend, I want to advise you, you must be careful, and you must wipe your mouth clean when stealing food."

"Don't worry, I've wiped it very clean, only a little scum is left." Rooney's shameless smile made Nicole chill.

Although the Atlanta team is good, it is still not enough for Manchester United.

There has never been a confrontation record between the two teams in history. Manchester United has rotated many people. Rafael, Welbeck and Kiko entered the starting list.

Nickell sat on the bench, but, obviously, Coach Ferguson learned the lesson from the last game against Villa and left himself some leeway.

The game started in a quiet atmosphere. There were few Mexican fans and not many Manchester United fans. However, many Japanese fans put on red Manchester United uniforms, making the whole stadium look more like the home ground of Manchester United.

However, after the opening, Manchester United was obviously not focused. In the 4th minute, Atlanta goalkeeper Bilal made a long pass from the backcourt. This time, Brown, who was the central defender, made a mistake in judging the placement of the high ball and missed the ball. Rojas picked it in the middle of the penalty area. Kushchak, who struck out, then shoveled the ball into the empty goal. 0:1, Manchester United suffered a nightmare start.

Next, after scoring the goal, Atalanta retreated to the half court contentedly and began to defend. In their view, if they can get a goal lead, the next thing they should do is to defend, and then wait for the end of the game. Perfect tactic.

The Mexicans took it for granted. Blindly shrinking the defense could not ensure that they would not lose the goal, because they did not have enough strength to contain the counterattack.

Although most of the main players did not appear on the field, such a Manchester United team still put Atlanta in a complete passive state.

The situation on the field turned into a siege of Manchester United against Atlanta, but until No. 304 minutes, Scholes took a corner kick on the right, and Brown, who made a mistake at the beginning, nodded the ball forward, and Varen West Asia hit the ball with his right foot from outside the penalty area and scored. 1:1, Manchester United finally equalized the score.

However, in the later games, Manchester United once again fell into a weak offensive situation. Until the end of the first half, the score remained at this score. After the opening of the second half, the game went on for 15 minutes, and Manchester United still couldn't start the situation.

"Nicole, go warm up." Ferguson finally couldn't bear it anymore.
