The next afternoon, in the press conference hall of the main building of Manchester United's Carrington training base, the atmosphere was tense and depressing, and a highly anticipated press conference was being held here. Greenwood was wearing a neat black suit, his face was pale, and his eyes revealed deep guilt and uneasiness. Next to him, club chairman Robertson looked serious, and sports director Solskjaer and assistant coach Scholes also looked solemn.
Sports director Solskjaer stood up first, his expression serious and solemn: "Dear media friends, thank you for attending today's press conference in your busy schedule. Our Manchester United club has always adhered to the principles of respect, responsibility and discipline. We are deeply saddened and disappointed by Greenwood's inappropriate behavior this time. But at the same time, we also believe that he can deeply understand his mistakes and work hard to correct them. Next, Greenwood will express his apologies to everyone."
Greenwood stood up, holding the microphone in front of him tightly with his slightly trembling hands, his voice low and hoarse:
"I know that my wrong behavior has made people deeply disappointed and angry. Here I would like to express my most sincere apologies to my girlfriend, to all the fans who support me, to my club, to my family, to the entire football world, and to the general public. I am extremely ashamed of my impulsive and unforgivable behavior, and I sincerely apologize to everyone!"
After speaking, Greenwood took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, as if trying to calm his emotions. Then, he slowly bent down and bowed deeply. His movements were slow and heavy, and his forehead almost touched the table.
During this long bow, time seemed to freeze. His body trembled slightly, and his hands clenched into fists, as if he was trying his best to restrain the surging emotions in his heart.
After a long time, Greenwood stood up, his face full of tears. He looked at the audience again, his eyes full of determination: "I know that no matter how many words I say, it is difficult to make up for the mistakes I have made. From now on, I will actively cooperate with the investigation and handling of relevant departments and accept legal sanctions. I will seriously reflect on my behavior, participate in psychological counseling and education training, and strive to correct my mistakes. I will use actions to prove my change, and sincerely pray for everyone's forgiveness."
As soon as the voice fell, the reporters in the audience raised their hands, eager to ask questions.
A senior sports reporter who has been reporting on Manchester United for a long time was the first to get the opportunity to ask questions: "Greenwood, can you tell me in detail about the specific circumstances of beating your girlfriend at that time?"
Greenwood took a deep breath and said slowly: "That was a moment when I lost control of my emotions. I had a fierce quarrel with my girlfriend. I was overwhelmed by anger and completely lost my mind. I hit her. Looking back now, I hate myself at that time."
Another reporter immediately asked: "What impact do you think this incident will have on your career?"
Greenwood's eyes flashed with pain and confusion: "I know that this mistake may have a huge impact on my career, but I am willing to bear all the consequences. I understand that as a professional player, my behavior not only represents me personally, but also represents the club and the entire football world. I will use practical actions to prove that I am determined to correct my mistakes and regain everyone's trust."
At this time, a sharp reporter stood up and asked: "Some people think you should be permanently expelled from the club. What do you think about this? Want to say? "Greenwood's body trembled slightly. He looked at the chairman and Director of Latin and Solskia, and then answered firmly:" I understand everyone's anger and disappointment, but I hope to get a chance to correct. The female reporter asked: "How do you guarantee that you no longer make the same mistake?" Greenwood clenched his fist: "I will accept psychological counseling, learn how to control my emotions, how to properly handle feelings and life problems. I guarantee that such errors will never have a second time." "Greenwood, do you think your public image can no longer recover?" Said firmly: "I know that repairing the image requires a long time, but I will do it step by step. I will re -know me through my own efforts and changes." The atmosphere of the press conference was still tense and serious, and the problems of reporters were one after another. The reporter threw the problem to SolskSolskjaer replied with a serious expression: "This is a profound lesson. We will reflect and strengthen the education and management of players to ensure that similar things will not happen again. But at the same time, we also believe in the players' ability to reflect on themselves and grow." "Coach Scholes, as far as I know, although Greenwood occasionally participates in Manchester United's first-team games, he trains and plays with the reserve team most of the time. As the assistant coach of the first team and the head coach of the reserve team, did you notice any signs of Greenwood's bad behavior before? Or was this a completely unexpected incident?" Scholes took a deep breath and answered calmly: "For Greenwood's personal life, the club's principle has always been to respect the player's privacy, but we will also provide the necessary guidance and education to the player. The occurrence of this incident does make us I feel shocked and sad. "
Another reporter followed up with a follow-up question: "Then may I ask if the club has serious deficiencies in the moral education of youth players? Why did such a scandal occur?"
Scholes frowned slightly and said firmly: "We have always attached importance to the moral cultivation of youth players, which is beyond doubt. But everyone can make mistakes. The key is how to face and correct mistakes. I would like to remind all journalist friends that Greenwood is only 17 years old. He is still a child who has not yet reached adulthood. First, he was impulsive and did something wrong. He is willing to accept the punishment from the law and the criticism from the public. I sincerely hope that everyone can give him a chance to reform. "
"President Rowley, Greenwood's behavior has seriously damaged the image of the club. How do you plan to recover this loss?" Another reporter stood up and asked loudly.
Chairman Rowley looked at everyone with a firm gaze and said, "We will urge Greenwood to make corrections and strengthen the club's internal management and education to ensure that such incidents do not happen again. We also believe that through our efforts and Greenwood's changes, we can gradually restore the club's image in the public's mind."
"President Rowley, will this incident affect the club's future recruitment plan and partnership?"
Chairman Rowley wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied, "We believe that players with real strength and good moral character will still be willing to join Manchester United, and our partners will also see our determination and attitude in dealing with problems."
"Chairman Rowley, do you think Graywood's behavior reflects the lack of club culture?"
Rollley straightened his back and said, "Manchester United's club culture is deep and positive, and Graywood's personal mistakes cannot represent the culture of the entire club. We will take this opportunity to further strengthen the club's cultural construction."
The reporters' questions were like a barrage of bullets, one sharper than the other.
Under the siege of reporters, Rowley remained calm and firm, trying to answer every question.
At this time, a female reporter asked in a sharp tone: "Chairman Rowley, some fans are calling for severe punishment of Greenwood and even demanding that he be expelled from the team. How will the club respond to these voices?"
Rollie paused and replied: "Punishment is not the goal. We hope to see Greenwood can truly recognize his mistakes and prove his change and growth through practical actions. The club will make fair handling according to internal regulations and procedures. Of course, we also need to wait for the Manchester Police Department to confirm whether Greenwood has violated the law? What kind of punishment needs to be accepted."
A reporter insisted: "Does this mean that the club will deal with Greenwood leniently to protect his career?"
Rollie's face became a little ugly, but he remained calm: "Our approach will be based on facts and the club's values, and we will never favor anyone. We will consider various factors and make the most responsible decision for the club and the public."
"Chairman Rowley, please answer my question directly. Will Manchester United expel Greenwood? Or under what circumstances will Greenwood be expelled." Another female reporter threw out a very challenging question.
"For this matter, I can say directly: Manchester United has no option to fire Greenwood." Luo Lie said firmly.
"You mean: Even if the Manchester Police Department finds Greenwood guilty, Manchester United will not fire Greenwood! Then can I say that Manchester United is shielding the criminal." The female reporter said sharply.
"I need to remind you, ma'am, that your words are suspected of defaming Manchester United and Mr. Greenwood.I ask you to take back what you just said, otherwise, I will let Manchester United's legal team have a good talk with you. "
"Mr. Rowley, I can understand, are you threatening reporters?" The female reporter raised her proud head and screamed.
"Madam, I am not threatening you, let alone any reporter here. I am just stating a fact. I want to remind you: First of all, as of now, Manchester Police Department has not found Greenwood guilty, and the court has not ruled that he is guilty. At this time, you use the word "criminal" to describe him, which is itself a defamation of Greenwood; by the same token, you use the unfounded charge of "harboring criminals" to accuse Manchester United, which is itself a defamation of Manchester United Club; I also said that if you don't apologize, I will let the club's legal team and Greenwood's guardians file a lawsuit against you and the Liverpool Herald behind you. Even if this lawsuit goes to the United Kingdom Supreme Court, I will not accept a settlement. "Luo Lie said firmly,
After hearing what Luo Lie said, the female reporter stood there blankly as if she was cast a spell. Her face turned pale in an instant, and her lips trembled slightly, as if blown by an invisible cold wind. Her eyes, which were originally bright and lively, were now full of panic and anxiety. She bit her lower lip so hard that her lips lost their color and left a deep tooth mark. The slightly trembling chin showed that she was trying her best to restrain the surging emotions in her heart.
The female reporter's hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, and her knuckles turned white because of the force. Her breathing became rapid and disordered, and her chest rose and fell violently, as if every breath was carrying a heavy burden. "Finally, I would like to remind all the journalists present here that Mason Greenwood is only 17 years old this year, a child who has not yet reached the legal age of adulthood. He made a mistake and he will pay the penalty for his mistake. Manchester United has also suspended him from playing/training and fined him according to the relevant regulations of the club, but I still want to reiterate on behalf of Manchester United that we will not fire Greenwood and will not sell him during the contract period. This child came to Manchester United's youth training camp at the age of seven, and it has been ten years this year. This is Manchester United's own child. When the child makes a mistake, we as parents will punish/educate him, bear the consequences with him, and compensate the victim, but we will never abandon him. This is the value of Manchester United. As the chairman of Manchester United and the parent of Mason Greenwood, I also sincerely apologize to the public and sincerely hope that the public can give this 17-year-old child a chance. Thank you. "Roller continued to add.
After Roller finished speaking, the whole audience fell into a brief silence, some were thoughtful, some were disdainful, and some were terrified.
At this time, Graywood stood up from his seat again and bowed deeply: "Thank you again for your attention and questions. I know that my mistakes are serious. I will spend the rest of my life to make up for them and correct them. Please give me time and give me a chance. "Sports director Solskjaer, who was the temporary host of this press conference, also stood up at the right time and said, "Thank you, friends from the press. Today's press conference ends here. "
Finally, the press conference ended in a tense atmosphere. Roller left the venue with a tired look, but the discussion about Manchester United and Greenwood continued to ferment among the media and fans.
