Chapter 1146 Taking Back the Championship

As Manchester United coach, Ferguson first apologized for stepping on the trophy.

"As the coach of Manchester United, I am ashamed of the behavior of the players just now. I must stand up and apologize to all those who love football and the organizing committee. I am personally shocked. In my decades of coaching career , Such a thing has never happened, but it really happened today. Although it happened to young players, as the coach, I have a responsibility. I did not educate them well. This was an oversight on our part."

"In the locker room, we communicated for a long time and found out the problems we have. I hope the media and fans can give them two opportunities, after all, they are still young."

Next, Ferguson handed the microphone to the young Rashford and Januzaj. The two of them have now become the center of media public opinion. No one can help them. Their attitude is crucial.

Rashford and Januzaj were like frightened children. They had realized the seriousness of the situation. They thought that trampling on the trophy was nothing, but in fact the nature was too bad.

Rashford took the microphone, half lowered his head, and said sincerely: "I sincerely apologize for my behavior on the court just now. No matter what the reason was for me to do it, it was incorrect. I am extremely grateful." It hurts all the people who love football and disrespects the event organizers and opponents. This is the most wrong thing I have done in my life. I really regret it and hope everyone can forgive me."

"When I realized that I had done this wrong, I was quite sad. I didn't know why I did it. God, if I could go back in time, I would never do it, and I will never do it again. .”

It was Januzaj's turn. Januzaj held back his words for several seconds. Then when he was about to speak, tears flowed out first.

Yes, a grown man actually shed tears.

The media reporters at the scene were dumbfounded. Damn it, it seemed like someone had bullied Januzaj, not that he had done something wrong? Why are you crying? Who bullied him?

can not watch anymore.

But no one knows whether Januzaj is sincere or just acting?

"I...I...I was wrong."

"When Sir Alex Ferguson told me that I had done something wrong, and the nature of it was very serious, I was completely confused at the time. I deeply apologize for my behavior. I don't ask everyone to forgive me, because I can't even forgive myself... …”

Fak... Rashford is sullen and wants to curse. Januzaj's lines are much better than his, and he can't forgive himself...

Although the two of them apologized at the press conference, Mourinho had no intention of forgiving these two guys. He directly angrily said at the press conference:

"These are two of the worst kids I've ever seen. Being young is no excuse, they are adults and they would do something so insulting. If players like this were on my team, I might They will be fired directly, or they will be sent to the reserve team. What is certain is that these things will be carried on their shoulders forever in the future, and they will never be cleansed."

"No matter how good a player's skills are, if they don't have morals, they are useless. Great players are great not only because of their skills, but also because of their moral character."

"I suggest that the organizing committee take back this championship trophy."

…

Regardless, this thing is spreading all over the world.

But obviously, it is impossible to assume that all these things have never happened. European media have reported and paid attention to this matter, and they have expressed their attitudes and voices.

"The Times": Manchester United players have more than just trophies under their feet

Sports competitions are always accompanied by wins and losses, followed by loneliness and ecstasy. No matter whether you say these two Manchester United players are young and energetic or get carried away, you can't change the basic fact that his behavior violates sports. Morality, betrayal of sportsmanship,

It broke through the emotional bottom line of the majority of fans. What he stepped on was not only the trophy, but also his sportsmanship and professionalism.

Spain's "Marca": Manchester United players stepping on the trophy is purely self-indulgent

Stepping on the trophy and provoking Chelsea fans is not just "unsporting ethics", but a violation of basic human ethics. It is understandable that players are overly excited, but there are still some bottom lines that cannot be challenged, and it cannot be evaded by saying "youth and frivolousness". For a professional player, the most important thing is to maintain a minimum of awe and respect for the rules, traditions, and order of the football world. When you step on the trophy, you step on the "honor" of the team. This is pure self-contempt; when you step on the trophy, you step on the club's face. This is completely excessive and create hatred; when you step on the trophy, you step on it. It is his job that will be lost. Players who leave such a bad record will probably have a hard time in the industry in the future.

"Daily Mail" focuses on Chelsea.

It is often said that football is the "mini war" of modern times. Humiliation should be condemned, but why is Chelsea not the winner, but the loser? This is clearly worth thinking about. If Chelsea had won, they wouldn't have been so humiliated by these two guys.

Gazzetta dello Sport: Morality and competition should not be confused

It should be pointed out that football is still a game after all, and professional sportsmanship and professional competitiveness should not be completely confused. Although the behavior of these two children was excessive, it should not fall into the category of morality. There is no need to elevate this matter to this level.

German "Bild": Don't deserve such insults

There is no doubt that the nature of stepping on the trophy is very bad, and the relevant parties can fully submit a request to the FA for additional penalties, including a ban, through legal procedures. These demands are not excessive compared to the emotional intensity of the humiliating act. It should be noted that any competition should be respected. If you don't want this championship, why should you participate? The two teams worked hard for this championship, but the result was so dramatic. How can Chelsea feel embarrassed? When Cristiano Ronaldo scored goals for the championship again and again, did the two children know what they did?

…

Soon, the organizing committee made a decision. They withdrew the trophy awarded to Manchester United. Of course, this trophy was not given to Chelsea. There is no doubt that Rashford and Januzaj caused a humiliating incident for Manchester United, and this incident may not pass easily. It will be very difficult for them in the future...
