[Football] Anti-system

Greeting the Christmas of 2008 undoubtedly makes many people look forward to it very much.Half a month before Christmas, at the beginning of December, some neighborhoods became lively, and decorations were hung in the windows early.

In the drowsy sky of the British Isles, snowflakes began to float one after another, but when they fell to the ground, they quickly turned into snow water because the temperature was not low enough.The British people coming and going on the street are still as usual, no one is holding an umbrella.He was in a hurry but was as indifferent as the temperature.

The sky in Manchester is also gray, and even the sea water has precipitated a thick gray, which occasionally makes people unable to breathe.

For the Premier League players, this is also a difficult time. Unlike other leagues that have Christmas holidays, they only have a short one-month rest at the end of the season, and they have been a little weak so far.

Ferguson began to rotate players rigorously, and they will usher in multi-line battles after the new year.The Champions League games are crucial, and the team's players will definitely be more tired than players in other leagues.

To the surprise of Manchester United fans, Scorpius, who was bought at a high price, became the player who sat the most on the bench during this period, and sometimes he would not even make the squad.

This makes many people puzzled by Ferguson's operation. Even if it is dealing with weak teams, Manchester United is not without a chance of being overturned.Scorpius didn't play, and Xia Chuang even sent Saha away because he didn't bring in too many forwards. As a result, the rotation in the frontcourt was a bit stretched, and the offensive power dropped a lot.They even suffered their first loss of the season, a 0-1 loss to Bolton.

Similarly, England, who was absent from Skorpi, also lost the game against Croatia, but fortunately they have already secured their place in the last game.

In comparison, Manchester United's game was a disastrous defeat. Although the score was only 0:1, this defeat was undoubtedly a disastrous defeat-the number one Manchester United lost to a weak team that fell into the relegation circle in the summer. trip.

But the reason is also very clear, because of the rotation, there is no Scorpius, no Scholes, no Ronaldo, and even Rooney only played half of the game.

In the technical statistics, Manchester United's 3 shots on target and 13 fouls are like two mirrors. The former reflects how fragile Manchester United's offense is, and the latter reflects how chaotic Manchester United's defense is. .

The purpose of the Bolton people in this game is very clear, which is to muddy the water by kicking, fighting, grabbing and shoveling, but Manchester United has always been unable to put the game into the clear track they are more familiar with, and can only watch their opponents helplessly in the end. The Fishing in Troubled Waters project has been accomplished.

Hargreaves and Carrick's midfield starting combination, this is the third time this season, although the number of times is not many, but there are many lessons, because there is only one result of the combination: failure.Although they won the first two times, frankly speaking, there are really big problems with this midfield combination.

To put it bluntly, there are only four players in the middle of Manchester United, Scholes, Hargreaves, Carrick and Anderson. Of course, they can also be matched with "jack-of-all-trades" players like O'Shea.

In this game, due to the lack of a few fierce players in the frontcourt, Manchester United's offensive sharpness has been greatly reduced, and in order to grab points, Bolton will insist on any team coming to the Reebok Stadium.In this scene that tested Carrick, the fringe international was indeed a bit overwhelmed, so he started to give the ball a few times. As the game progressed, he gave more and more quality balls to the frontcourt and the wing. few.

Ferguson did not expect that the lack of main players would have such a great impact on Manchester United.

The depth of the bench has become an obvious weakness of Manchester United. Obviously, during the winter window, Ferguson has to raise a little more money to buy some substitute players to enrich the thickness of the bench.

At the end of the game, neither the media nor the fans could hold back their doubts.

The rotation of Ronaldo and Scholes is a coincidence, and the rotation of Scorpius is too exaggerated, right?They haven't seen the Northern Irishman on the field for a long time, but he obviously just won the Golden Boy Award, proving his strength.

It all started after that game with Blackburn.

If Manchester United in November was full of challenges but smooth sailing, then Manchester United in December made great efforts but was extremely strenuous.

This strenuous effort has something to do with Scorpius, but the beginning was good, and the people of Northern Ireland are finally going to face up to the possibility that the system does not really exist.He plans to seek help from a psychiatrist.

This is really not easy for him. The deep-rooted thoughts over the years cannot be subverted just by overturning, not to mention that because of a lot of reasons in the past, he is very fond of these psychiatrists who charge extremely high fees but can't help much. repel.

Years of acting skills have allowed him to easily pretend to be anyone in front of a psychologist, he can even be sunny and cheerful.Only because of the state of the friends around him and his silence because he was bored was misdiagnosed as depression.

Now the speculation that "maybe the system is just something he imagined after listening to Oriana's words" made him walk into the psychiatrist's meeting room with anxiety.

For the first time, he took off his disguise, accompanied by Cristiano, holding tea, looking at the colorful macarons in the snack boxes, wanting to clearly explain the things about the system and his own guesses. speak out.

But because of the limitations of the system, he still spoke hesitatingly, with unclear meaning.

He tried to use a glass of wine to numb his brain and system. As usual, he felt his consciousness drifting away, and he completely lost his memory of what happened that day.

The next day, after Scorpius rubbed his head through the pain of the hangover and fought back the nausea like a big ball of bird feathers stuck in his throat, he couldn't help but blame himself.

One can't help but feel guilty, especially when he knows that Cristiano has saved his life many times and helped him countless times.He doesn't know how to repay him, maybe get rid of the system as soon as possible, as the Portuguese's teammate and he created the team's victory once is the best reward for him, but he feels that he can't do it.

He hated his cowardice more than anyone else.

Even though he already had a system, it might be his own delusional guess, but he never dared to take that step beyond his fear.

Whenever the words had reached his lips, he was holding the cup, his fingers trembling constantly.

He was still terrified, afraid that he would die if he disobeyed the system.

At this time, he couldn't help but think of those cold, hungry, and endless darkness in the past.

Then, in the face of the psychiatrist's kindly questions, he would nervously press his index finger knuckles with his thumb, desperately trying to maintain his composure, and pull out a false smile.

If he, if he had been a little braver, he could have said these things firmly.

But he only dared to drink a glass of strong wine, and continued to evade the problem as a coward.

He hugged the soft quilt and curled up at the corner of the bed, looking at the hot milk brought by Cristiano, not knowing what expression he should show him.He finally pulled up the corners of his lips and showed a somewhat stiff smile: "I'm sorry, I thought I was ready, but..." Scorpius lowered his head, perhaps he has become numb after living under the threat of the system for more than ten years, He didn't dare to resist at all.Obviously he doesn't want to cause trouble for Cristiano anymore, obviously he has always wanted to get rid of all this.

He resignedly buried his face between his knees, just as he would have done in that stairwell all those years ago.

A muffled voice came through the thin quilt: "I'm sorry. Maybe the problem didn't lie with... that in the first place, but that I was a coward. It was because I didn't dare to resist, because I didn't dare to disobey. I can only escape..." If If he wasn't so cowardly and didn't dare to resist at all, maybe the system wouldn't have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

But he was really afraid that he would die like this, and he didn't want everything to return to darkness.He greedily dreams of light and dust, praying that one day he can have a carefree life under the sun.

Especially after seeing the beauty he might have, he becomes more and more timid, because he doesn't want to lose these things he already has.

When you die, there is nothing left.

There was only cold and hunger and the sticky darkness that wrapped around him like a sea wave and suffocated him.

Every time he sat in the corner like this, with the little space in the stairwell, he knew it was death.Never bright, cold and damp.He kept trembling in fear, curled up as much as possible to get some faint warmth, but felt the temperature and freshness being pulled away from his body bit by bit.

He is like a hedgehog trying to curl himself up, never daring to face darkness and death.

He has done this action of sitting against the wall and curling himself up countless times.

The only harvest each time is fear and exhaustion.

But this time, a pair of warm arms embraced him, allowing him to lean on his chest.

He could even feel his warm breath spraying gently on the back of his neck, warming his stiff and cold body.

He could even feel the beating heart in his chest.It seems that the freshness of life has also been passed on to him.

Scorpius was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but relax his body, leaning back, snuggling into his arms like a small animal.The soft hair brushed against his neck, and Scorpius could easily smell the fragrance of the shower gel on his body.He couldn't help changing a more comfortable position in his arms, feeling inexplicable, all the darkness following him seemed to be scared away in an instant.

Hot milk was placed by the bed.

Cristiano hugged him from behind with the quilt in his arms, and the vibration of his chest when he spoke also made Scorpius tremble slightly because of the extremely close distance: "You are already very brave, Scorpius. "

He could easily feel Scorpius' attachment to him, which made the corner of Cristiano's lips involuntarily reveal a little smile.

"There is no one who is not afraid of death. This kind of thing cannot be done at once. I know it is not easy for you. You have taken a step. I am very happy."

He hugged his waist tightly, as if he wanted to transfer his heat to him as much as possible with this move.

"You can count on me."

He kissed the top of his hair, and pulled him further towards himself, resting his chin on his shoulder, letting his breath dye his ears red: "You still have me, Scorpius. It's okay, if you're really scared , we will no longer go to a psychiatrist, you tell me what it wants you to do, and I will help you do it."

He got closer to him, not caring about the sticky and ambiguous atmosphere in the air, and soft kisses fell on Scorpius' jawline.

Soft and warm, as if wrapped in warm cotton candy.

Scorpius even felt that he was about to be warmed by him, and fell asleep drowsily in his arms.

But he shook his head firmly and refused his boyfriend's warmth: "no."

He opened his eyes suddenly and looked up at him: "I have to do it, and I can."

Cristiano looked into his eyes, smiled and kissed his forehead: "Okay."
