Chapter 934 Rooney is in trouble!

As the biggest football player in the world and also regarded by countless people as the most powerful football player ever, Su Dong's entire career has been hailed as a textbook of scientific training.

Every day, countless media reporters, football practitioners and fans are paying attention to Su Dong's every move, including eating, drinking and sleeping.

Because of Su Dong, his four personal trainers have become authorities in various fields.

Needless to say, Nuno Cruz is an expert in the field of sports analysis, Italian Vito Scala has become a top personal trainer that all professional players are eager to cooperate with, and Englishman Grant Downing has become the world's top sports rehabilitation and physiotherapy expert.

Even Paul Lacasco, the nutrition expert with the least reputation and the least attention, has become a leader in the field of sports nutrition, and his courses at the University of Lisbon are favored by nutritionists all over the world.

In the past few years, with the rise of Su Dong, the rapid development of the field of sports science has been driven, especially the attention of many famous universities, the investment in scientific research has also increased, and the exchanges have become more frequent. The entire industry has developed very fast.

Right now, almost every team in the top leagues is equipped with multiple nutritionists. Sports rehabilitation and physical therapy have also received unprecedented attention. Sports analysis and big data statistics have also become hot spots for all teams.

These are not only prevalent in the first team, but have even begun to enter the youth team.

It is precisely because of the rapid development of the industry and scientific research that many concepts in the past are undergoing major changes.

The simplest point is like diet.

Many foods that were strictly prohibited in the past are now gradually allowed.

For example, Paul Lacasco can accept Sudong eating rice because he finds that, as a Chinese who grew up eating rice, eating rice helps Sudong maintain a better emotional state, and emotions affect his body's metabolism.

A few days ago, the temperature in Manchester turned cold. Some media dug up the news that Manchester City players ate pizza and burgers. This immediately exploded among the media and fans. Isn’t this the junk food that everyone talks about?
How can players touch these things?

As a result, Guardiola had to ask the club's nutritionist to come forward and clarify these things, saying that these are pizzas and burgers specially customized by the club's nutritionist for the players, and all the food is approved by the nutritionists.

They believe that through a scientific and reasonable combination, even pizza and hamburgers can provide players with balanced nutrition.

Yes, the current sports nutrition is no longer simple, what can and cannot be eaten, but emphasizes balanced nutrition, emphasizing the personal customization of players, providing different foods for different players, different physical fitness, and different eating habits, providing players with balanced nutrition, maintaining a good mental state, and showing better strength on the court.

Manchester City's external clarification also triggered a certain response. After all, this is one of the few opportunities for the club to introduce the secrets of the team's internal operations to the public.

If it is said that all Manchester City players can enjoy such treatment, then Su Dong's standard is even higher.

For example, a special offering of fruit and vegetables is delivered to his estate every morning.

The chef he hired would wash, chop and juice the fruits and vegetables for his sotong after morning workouts.

……

When Su Dong came to the restaurant after finishing his morning exercise, the freshly squeezed juice and fruits were ready.

This is a habit of his. After using these, he needs to replenish water and nutrition, and he will have breakfast in Carrington.

Manchester City has strict regulations on this. Guardiola requires players to eat breakfast and lunch at the training base. Dinner can be eaten at the training base, or they can be packed and eaten at home.

As soon as Su Dong sat down, Wang Chuqing walked in from the outside, holding a stack of newspapers in his hand, and put it in front of Su Dong.

"I took a look, and there were several newspapers that didn't make the headlines." The little girl laughed jokingly.

"No?" Su Dong frowned, "Is there anything more important than this game?"

Wang Chuqing picked out the Daily Mail at random, and the headline on the front page was shockingly about Ferguson throwing a tantrum in the locker room.

Ferguson's hair dryer directly activated the typhoon mode, which almost lifted the ceiling of Old Trafford.

But it's no wonder that after suffering such a humiliating defeat at home for two consecutive seasons, it's no wonder Ferguson didn't get angry.

But getting angry doesn't help either.

Manchester United's biggest problem now is actually the lack of players.

As a group of veterans headed by Giggs and Scholes have retired one after another, Manchester United has not added high-level players so far. Hargreaves, who Ferguson invested heavily in, failed to meet expectations due to injuries.

In this case, how much strength can Manchester United have?
If it weren't for Ferguson's support there, Manchester United's results would be even worse than they are now.

What attracted Su Dong's attention was another piece of news from the Daily Mail.

Ferguson forced Vidic to retire from the national team!
The news revealed that Ferguson gave Vidic an ultimatum in the locker room, choosing between the national team and the Manchester United captain's armband. Then Vidic issued a statement through Manchester United's official website, expressing his decision to withdraw from the national team.

Interestingly, the Serbian Football Association also reacted very quickly. As always, the official statement thanked Vidic for his contribution, and then added another sentence, respecting Vidic's decision, but welcomes him to return to the national team at any time.

Vidic has been controversial whether he is at Manchester United or the national team. In this statement on Manchester United's official website, he revealed that he violated the club's advice and went to the national team to play for the national team. But even so, he was criticized, so he was sad and determined to retire from the national team.

"He obviously wrote this statement with resentment." As a lawyer, Wang Chuqing is very sensitive to such details.

Su Dong can understand Vidic's difficulties, and Ferguson's handling is not the first time, let alone the last time.

The conflict between the club and the national team has never stopped. Even after FIFA is willing to pay for the international players, it cannot quell the anger and dissatisfaction of the club.

I believe that Ferguson has long wanted to let Vidic choose one of the two, but now he has seized an opportunity.

Manchester United suffered such a big defeat, but Vidic was unable to play and could only stand on the sidelines. If he did not agree to Ferguson's request, what would happen to him?
"Look at this again, it's related to you." Wang Chuqing handed over a newspaper.

Here's the Sun this morning.

A photo appeared on the headline of the front page. Wayne Rooney held a birthday party in a Chinese restaurant. The invited guests included Manchester City players such as Gareth Barry and Joe Hart, as well as some England internationals such as the Crouch couple. After the dinner, he went to sing K. The atmosphere was very lively.

What's interesting is that it was also on the headlines of the front page. The Sun also published the news of Manchester United's [-]-[-] home defeat to Manchester City.

The two pieces of news went up and down, but the atmosphere was completely different, which created a very weird situation.

Manchester United's head star Wayne Rooney, after the team suffered a disastrous defeat, did not feel sad or disappointed at all. He immediately organized his own birthday party and invited players from his arch-enemy to celebrate.

Even Su Dong, when he saw these for the first time, his reaction was three words, which was inappropriate.

He can fully imagine how Manchester United fans would feel if they saw this report.
Nima, the team's disastrous defeat is completely ignored by you?

After losing like that, do you still have the mind to celebrate your birthday?

This is actually the message that the Sun newspaper wants to convey, that is, to make the fans full of resentment towards Rooney, and the Sun newspaper took the opportunity to accuse Rooney, vent this resentment for the fans, and harvest a wave of fans' favorability.

This method is not unfamiliar, but it is very effective every time it is used.

It doesn't matter if it's old-fashioned, it's the most practical that works.

"Rooney is in trouble!" Su Dong shook his head and smiled wryly.

As soon as this report comes out, it will definitely fry the pan.

In the midst of a fiasco, who can accept such a thing?

What's even more ridiculous is that the Sun newspaper also put Gareth Barry and Joe Hart in a prominent position, just to remind Manchester United fans, look, Wayne Rooney is celebrating his birthday with those sworn enemies who bloodbathed Old Trafford.

Creating stars and destroying stars, the old-fashioned methods of the media are always tried and tested.

…………

…………

When the whole world is discussing Manchester City's second bloodbath at Old Trafford, the Sun is focusing on reporting on Manchester United's internal conflicts, and Rooney has been pushed to the forefront.

Even on the second day of the game, some Manchester United fans went to the Carrington training base after reading the report, and yelled at Rooney, thinking that he lacked a sense of honor, lost the game like that, and still had the mind to hold a birthday party and sing K. Is he worthy of his jersey and the salary paid by the club?
Rooney's clamor for a salary increase had already made Manchester United fans very dissatisfied. Now that such news comes out, it has further stimulated Manchester United fans. Coupled with the fuel of the media, even Manchester United and Ferguson dare not come forward to defend.

Manchester City did not participate in this turmoil, but routinely asked Gareth Barry and Joe Hart, conducted an alcohol test on them, and after confirming that they had not drunk alcohol, they ignored it.

Now the eating habits of players are indeed much richer than in the past, and even each team has its own requirements, such as some can not eat pizza, some put an end to hamburgers, but there is one point that all teams abide by.

That is alcohol and carbonated drinks.

Since Guardiola and the locker room announced the ban on alcohol, Manchester City has become more and more strict and standardized in the control of alcohol and carbonated drinks. Anyone who breaks the ban will be punished.

Gareth Barry and Joe Hart did not violate this time, but they came home too late when they went out to sing K, but Guardiola and the locker room also turned a blind eye to this and ignored it.

Anyway, not drinking is a big improvement.

Competitive sports, food is the original sin.

As long as you win, you can say anything.
