Manchester United legend

Chapter 257 Retirement (The Finale)

Manchester United played against Liverpool. In the second half of the game, Liverpool striker Owen got an excellent opportunity, and there was an open area in front of him.

Owen dribbled the ball and ran wildly. Manchester United's central defenders were generally not fast. Watching Owen dribble the ball past in a gust of wind, he just ran back symbolically to defend.

Jost chased after Owen in a gust of wind. Owen saw that there was no defense, and wanted to find a special angle to score. He faced Manchester United goalkeeper Butters and gradually slowed down. "Should I shoot the upper left corner of the goal? Or the upper right corner? Or pass the goalkeeper and kick the empty goal!"

The Liverpool fans at the scene were all excited about Owen's single-handed goal, thinking that Owen would definitely score and equalize the score for Liverpool, but they didn't know that Owen slowed down when he was approaching the penalty area line, as if he was thinking about life. Just when Owen decided to shoot in the lower right corner of the goal, Jost had rushed to his horse and stabbed the ball away from Owen's feet. Owen fell to the ground when he confronted Jost with his body.

Everyone is sorry for Owen's loss of this one-handed goal. I don't know why he is thinking about life in Manchester United's penalty area.

Owen, who fell to the ground, also regretted the loss of this single sword, and was dissatisfied with his hesitation with his hands hammered.

In fact, he doesn’t have to be like this. In the 2012 European Cup, a young Italian Balotelli recovered Owen’s lost chance to go solo. It’s just that Balotelli was in a major European event and was widely publicized by the media, so he became more famous.

The media has hyped up new topics again. Irving's thoughtful life is regrettable, and he also advocated for Jost's several rescues in this game, thinking that he has returned to his pre-injury state.

Just when everyone was thinking that Jost had got rid of the injury and returned to his best condition, God made a joke with everyone again.

In the 80th minute, when Jost made a fake move on the edge of Liverpool's penalty area and was about to pass the opposing player, without any physical contact, he suddenly yelled and fell on the lawn in extreme pain.

The two Liverpool players closest to him, Karadze and Riise, quickly raised their hands to signal for the team doctor to enter the field.

The referee quickly suspended the game and signaled the Manchester United team doctor to come in quickly. After 3 minutes, Jost was put on a stretcher and left the field on an electric car. He covered his face with his hands and burst into tears.

The media turned their cameras to Jost, and they could clearly see that his right knee was wrapped in a thick bandage, which was the same part where he underwent surgery last year.

In the ensuing game, both sides had no intention of fighting, and the game ended in a hurry.

Although Manchester United won the game, the head coach of Liverpool didn't pay much attention to the result, and his topic focused on Jost.He said: "I am very sad for Jost, but also for Manchester United and the entire football world. Jost was an excellent member of Manchester United. His injury is a loss for the football world."

Manchester United coach Ferguson said: "The moment Jost fell, a sense of foreboding came to my mind. He swayed the ball back and forth, but no one touched him and fell to the ground. Immediately we realized that he had a recurrence of an old injury. Frankly, I don't know how he is now. It is heartbreaking for a player, whether he is famous or not. It is heartbreaking for a player. .”

Manchester Royal College of Physicians.

Ferguson drove here after a hasty press conference after the game, a place he hated to be in, but Jost suffered yet another serious injury, which left him in a bad mood.

When Ferguson came to the hospital, he did not visit Jost directly, but came to the office of Professor Teach, who greeted Ferguson alone at the door of the office. Professor Teach is an authoritative expert on sports injuries.

"How is he feeling, Professor?" These were the first words Ferguson and Professor Teach met.

"I don't know how to tell you." Professor Teach shook his head. "We told him about the injury, and his reaction was... well, it must be inappropriate to say that he was very happy. In short, he was the one who smiled and comforted him, but I always feel that his emotions are abnormal, or that they are not emotions that a normal person should show at that time. Do you understand me, sir?"

Ferguson nodded.

"In the past two years, the same part has been seriously injured twice, and it is the cruciate ligament of the knee that is the most difficult to recover. I am worried about his career..." Professor Tiqi said halfway and did not continue.He knew that Ferguson must be clear in his heart.

Ferguson lowered his head and said nothing after a while, "Thank you Professor, I will persuade him."

After speaking, Ferguson left Professor Teach's office. Ferguson walked into the inpatient building silently all the way. Compared with the outpatient building with people coming and going, the inpatient building seemed a bit deserted, or quiet.

Ferguson's footsteps alone were clear in the hallway, and finally disappeared in front of a door.

Ferguson kept raising his hand, and he never knocked on the door. He didn't know how to comfort Jost, and he didn't know whether he could return to the court.The rupture of the cruciate ligament of the knee is a problem for players. Some players will not be able to return to their peak period after suffering this kind of injury.

The most famous example is Del Piero. On November 1998, 11, Juventus collided with the opposing defender in an away game against Udinese and ruptured the cruciate ligament of his left knee.

The injury kept Del Piero away from the game for as long as 9 months. So far, Piero's state is not as good as before. He is no longer the chic and elegant zebra prince he once was.

Before Ferguson could speak, Jost said first, "I can't play football anymore, coach?"

This left Ferguson at a loss for what to say. "Oh!" Ferguson sighed: "Paul, your life is not just about football. You have many things to do. You can also be a coach after you recover from your injury. I'm waiting for you to take my place. You can also start a family. You see, David's son can already run underground. You have many things to do. Life is not only about football."

Jost smiled slightly: "I know the coach, I am luckier than many people, I have received countless honors at Manchester United, I am content, but I am very sorry that I cannot continue to play for Manchester United."

Ferguson: "Didn't I say it? You can be a coach to take over from me. After you recover from your injury, you can come to Manchester United's coaching staff to learn. The door of Manchester United is always open for you."

Afterwards, Ferguson and Jost chatted about the interesting things that happened from the past to the present. After a while, Manchester United teammates also came to visit Jost, and the former class of 92 also came to visit Jost. They also knew from the doctor that Jost's injury was serious, and it was unknown whether he would be able to play football in the future. They were all moved by the news.

Scholes and Gary Neville didn't want the atmosphere in the room to be too dull. The two kept joking and joking about things that happened in the youth team, making everyone in the room laugh.

At this time, a beautiful blond nurse pushed open the door of the ward and said, "The patient needs to rest, please don't make any noise!"

Seeing that it was getting late, everyone bid farewell to Jost and left the hospital. The blond nurse said to Jost, "I am your ward nurse. If there is anything to do, press the red button on top of your head, and I will come. It's getting late, so go to bed early."

"Nurse, what's your name?"

The blond nurse smiled slightly: "Call me Maniya!" After speaking, the door of the ward was closed.

Jost said to himself, "Maniya, Maniya, what a nice name."

In a blink of an eye, in July 2002, Manchester United was training in Los Angeles, USA to prepare for the start of the new season. Manchester United was won the league championship by Arsenal last season, so the whole team trained hard and had high morale.

Jost called Ferguson at night to inform Ferguson of his decision to retire.The midfield genius finally couldn't escape the injury and left the green field at the golden age of 27!

Manchester United, which is training in Los Angeles, held a press conference at noon on Tuesday.The contract between Jost and Manchester United expired at the end of June 2005. Coach Ferguson said that Manchester United would not terminate the contract, and they would let the contract end naturally.

On Friday, Jost and his girlfriend Maniya came to Los Angeles to officially announce his retirement and attend a press conference. Jost first came to Manchester United's training base in Los Angeles to say goodbye to his teammates one by one.

Ferguson stepped forward and hugged Jost: "Boy, remember what I told you, I'll wait for you to take my place."

Jost smiled.Ferguson looked at Maniya who was standing aside again: "It seems that you are doing well, are you going to be a father?"

Jost: "Yes, I'm going to be a father in two months, we plan to get married next year, coach, and you will attend my wedding then."

Ferguson waved his hand: "Don't worry, I will lead all the members of the Manchester United team to your wedding."

"A word is settled!"

"A word is settled!"

Then Ferguson, Manchester United CEO Kenyon, and Jost's fiancée accompanied Jost to the press conference for his retirement.

Jost: "The decision to retire didn't keep me up at night. I had enough time to think about it. I tried to get myself fit again, but I no longer believed my knees could withstand the impact of professional football. I couldn't enjoy playing football anymore. I didn't want to force it. It didn't help anyone, so I chose to retire."

Jost held his fiancée Maniya's hand tightly: "Finally, I would like to thank the Manchester United Club for helping me, thank everyone! Thank you!"

The reporter also asked Jost, "Then what are your plans after you retire?"

Jost: "I will focus on my family, and then I will also take the coaching certificate. My next goal is to be a football coach, so everything is possible..."
