Chapter 281 Manchester United’s Rectification Movement
Keane's words were quickly responded by head coach Ferguson. He said Keane's words made sense, and young players should learn to play football and behave well from their seniors.
“Roy (Kean) sets a high standard, and that’s what it should be,” Ferguson said. “When you play for a club like Manchester United, you have to give everything. I think Kean is reminding young players that one day they will take over the responsibility of leading Manchester United, and when brothers like Kean, Bart, Giggs, Scholes and Neville are heading to the end of their careers, young people need to take over that responsibility.”
Judging from the current situation, Manchester United's young people obviously do not have the ability to take on the team independently, and Ferguson still has to rely on a group of older generation players to conquer the world.
Among the young people Ferguson spent his playing time to cultivate, Ronaldo and Fletcher were the most favored, but they also exposed the most problems.
Keane did not clearly point out which young players' attitudes made him angry, but from his words, it can be seen that there is indeed such a "one or two young people" who are already very satisfied with the status quo.
At present, Ronaldo, the most valuable young man in Manchester United, is known as the "No. 1 Star" and has the most news off the field. Not only does he attract attention with his dribbling, he also often appears in the newspapers such as getting drunk by bars.
In recent games, although Ronaldo has performed well when playing, his condition is extremely unstable, and even attracted direct reprimands from Keane and others on the court.
……………………
Ferguson showed a generous side to the growth of young people, saying: "When Roy said they were slack, they might be a little slack at some moments in the game, but young players are prone to this. They will be a little unstable and immature. They lack experience at critical moments of the game, but experience can slowly make up for it."
Ferguson added: "Like the Neville Brothers, Bart, Scholes and Giggs have taken responsibility in the past decade. Giggs has won eight championship trophys and may still win a ninth this season. This is what experience brings."
Ferguson's implication is very clear. With so many role models to learn, young people should naturally grow faster, especially when no honor is obtained, complacency and slackness are completely unforgivable.
Whether it is Keane or Ferguson, they actually subconsciously exclude Yin Jun from young players. Even though Yin Jun is two days younger than Ronaldo and more than one year younger than Fletcher, it is difficult for you to treat a player who has won the European Golden Ball Award as a young man. Even if this person is really young, he has just celebrated his 19th birthday.
What's more, even if Yin Jun is included in Manchester United's young man category, his alone shine cannot cover up the reality of the overall poor performance of Manchester United's young players.
In addition to having a pretty amazing performance at the beginning of the season, Ronaldo's performance gradually became dull as the season deepened.
Fletcher and O'Shea, and even earlier Wes Brown, have obviously been somewhat unsatisfactory in the past one or two years.
As for the current Manchester United team, there is no young player from Manchester United youth training, who has gained a foothold in the team!
This is a very embarrassing situation. Manchester United, which is famous for its youth training success rate, is becoming increasingly unsatisfactory. The two most outstanding young people recently, whether it is Yin Jun or Ronaldo, who has risen this season, are actually not considered Manchester United's youth training results.
……………………
After Keane criticized the young players, several young Manchester United players, including Ronaldo, seemed a little silent and even heavy on Manchester United's flight to Portugal.
Keane is not only the captain of the team, but also the leader of the team. These young people do not have the courage to challenge Keane's authority yet, let alone refute his criticism.
What's more, these guys also know their current performance, which makes it difficult for them to have the confidence to resist Keane's criticism.
Of course, if Yin Jun, the representative of the young man, stood up, the situation would definitely be different, but as far as they look at Yin Jun's performance, he obviously did not have the intention to stand up and speak for them, the young man.
In fact, after Keane criticized the young players, he remembered that Yin Jun was actually a young man, and was worried that Yin Jun would really stand up and speak out for his peers.
However, Yin Jun has always been very calm. Even when he mentioned this issue in an interview with reporters, he said that the captain is right. Manchester United's young people should be more strict with themselves and grow and mature as soon as possible.
This made Keane feel relieved.
……………………
Since Yin Jun joined Manchester United, Keane has always been optimistic about Yin Jun, and Yin Jun has never disappointed him, and his growth rate is even far beyond his expectations.
Since the beginning of this season, Kean has increasingly felt that his physical condition is not keeping up with his consciousness, and a feeling called being unable to do so has almost been pressing on his heart. Kean is very clear that this feeling will become more and more serious as he gets older.
He was 33 years old in August, and Keane knew very well that the days left in his career were getting fewer and fewer. When older Manchester United people, such as Giggs, gradually withdrew from the stage of history, Manchester United's future will be the generation of Yin Jun.
In Keane's heart, Yin Jun is the leader of Manchester United's new generation, but just as he was able to succeed at Manchester United, it was just as the help of brothers Giggs, Beckham, Scholes, and Neville, Yin Jun also needs help if he wants to lead Manchester United to a higher position.
Judging from his private exchanges with Ferguson, the new generation of Manchester United, Yin Jun will be the leader, but the new players such as Ronaldo, O'Shea and Fletcher have also had a low status, which is the new generation of Giggs, Beckham, Scholes, and Neville brothers...
But judging from the current performance, the growth of Ronaldo, O'Shea, and Fletcher is obviously unable to meet his and Ferguson's positioning of these people.
Then, there was a scene where Leeds United, the mortal enemy, stood up and went crazy after he was tied at home.
Neither Ferguson communicated with Yin Jun on this issue. On the one hand, he wanted to see if Yin Jun was really as mature as he showed. On the other hand, he was worried that the news would be revealed first and would not have the expected effect.
However, judging from Yin Jun's performance, this little guy is indeed very mature and has no dissatisfaction with the criticism of the old man. He even agrees with their criticism. In one aspect, it suppresses the restlessness in the hearts of young people and successfully achieves the effect they expected.
