Chapter 162 You Will Regret It for the Rest of Your Life
When Cantona praised Dong Fangzhuo in front of the media, he was obviously very optimistic about Dong Fangzhuo's future at Manchester United. He even brought up such a sensitive topic as the future captain.
You know, the current captain of Manchester United is Keane. After Keane, there is Gary Neville, and then Giggs. There is no such thing as a fourth captain for Manchester United.
If Dong Fangzhuo wants to become the captain, when will he wait...
But he seems to have forgotten that January 25th has a special meaning for Cantona.
"Eric, today is the tenth anniversary of the flying leg incident..."
Cantona's face darkened visibly. He didn't mention anything. It's been ten years, and reporters are still hyping this up as news.
On January 25, 1995, at Selhurst Park, Cantona kicked Simons, a Crystal Palace fan, and was suspended for nine months. In the blink of an eye, 10 years have passed since this incident.
At that time, Cantona was sent off for retaliating against Richard Shaw. Simons ran across the 11 steps, cursing "Go back to France and fuck your mother" (some reports also said that he was cursing "French bastard"). Cantona then jumped over the billboard and kicked Simmons sideways. In a moment of public outcry, he crossed a line that no player in the history of English football had ever crossed: attacking fans.
Manchester United banned him until the end of the 1994-95 season, but the FA subsequently extended the ban until October 1995. This penalty almost forced Cantona to retire. Later, under Ferguson's persuasion, he changed his mind and played at Manchester United for two more seasons.
Cantona's answer was still very rude:
"I don't know if what I did was right or wrong, but if I ever found myself in the same situation again, I would do it again without a doubt."
It seems that he has no regrets at all. If he encounters the same situation again, he will do it again...
“Everyone’s life is inseparable from other things—the people you meet,
The thoughts that go through your head, what people say to us at that time, etc. Sometimes we would not take something someone said seriously at all, but on another day we might be extremely sensitive to it. "
"But you should set an example for young people, right?"
But Cantona continued: "We can live like computers or robots, without any emotions, but I never want to be a role model. I don't want to put such pressure on myself."
Want the king to admit that he did something wrong? too difficult.
Soon, Cantona's words became hot news, with only two contents:
"Cantona named the Chinese director and considered him to be the future captain of Manchester United."
"Cantona remains unrepentant and believes there was nothing wrong with the flying leg incident ten years ago."
Then, a reporter from the Manchester Evening News stopped Dong Fangzhuo at the gate of his villa and asked him what he thought of the Manchester United King's comments.
Dong Fangzhuo has never interacted with Cantona, neither in his previous life nor in this life, and he has never even spoken to him.
"I'm very happy that the King can recognize me like this. I feel very honored, but I don't have the ability to be the captain of Manchester United for the time being. Our captain is Roy Keane, the vice-captain is Gary Neville, and the third captain is Ryan. Giggs. But I am really working hard to become a very important player in the Manchester United team and be able to compete for all championships with my teammates and Manchester United fans."
These words were very appropriate. They not only flattered Cantona, but also showed great respect for the current bosses. To be honest, he had never thought about becoming the captain of Manchester United. I just want to become a better and better player and then be able to win all the honors at Manchester United.
"Then what do you think of Cantona's flying leg incident?"
The reporter was obviously setting him up, but this was unlikely to faze Dong Fangzhuo. He thought for a while and then answered:
"We've heard so much about Cantona's responsibility, so why not analyze Simons' responsibility. Every free-mouthed scoundrel believes that the £10 ticket gives him all the abuse, taunts and spitting he can do. rights, there are certain actions that would get you arrested if you did it on the street.”
"If Simmons was sitting in his seat, no one would question his actions. But that's clearly not the case."
"Oh, my god, do you think Cantona did the right thing?" The reporter's eyes widened, but he didn't expect Dong Fangzhuo to answer like this. Totally in Cantona's shoes.
The old and the young are indeed the devils produced by Manchester United. After Cantona is Keane. After Keane, is it not Rooney but Dong Fangzhuo?
Dong Fangzhuo has actually watched Cantona's interview. He doesn't think there is anything wrong with his answer. No matter how calm a person is, he will not be so pretentious as to tolerate the behavior of some stupid fans. If it were him who heard someone in the stands If you scold him with such unpleasant words, he will also kick him in the face.
What he wanted to express was that simple.
This also reminded him of Gao Lin's shoe-throwing incident. When Guangzhou Evergrande challenged Liaoning Hongyun away from home, Evergrande international Gao Lin became the absolute protagonist. He scored twice and responded in two ways. Insults from Liaoning fans. After the game, the fans refused to give up. When Gao Lin walked out of the tunnel and was about to board the team bus to leave the stadium, there were fans outside the fence who continued to insult Gao Lin and his wife Wang Chen. The words were very unpleasant. Unable to bear it, Gao Lin smashed the sneakers out of his hand and even had a physical conflict with the fans. The security personnel worked together to separate the two parties, and the farce ended.
Afterwards, Gao Lin's "shoe-throwing incident" aroused heated discussions from all sides. Some fans said that Gao Lin would definitely be punished for such an action, while some fans believed that when outsiders insulted his family, Gao Lin made "a response that a man should have." .
Obviously, Dong Fangzhuo is firmly on the side of the players! Throwing a shoe is a small thing, but a response like Cantona's would be better.
"I'm curious, what would you do if you were in Cantona's position?" Dong Fangzhuo smiled and asked.
"This..." The reporter obviously did not expect that Dong Fangzhuo would ask him this question.
"I think I should have told myself to calm down as soon as possible and then make a decision."
"Bullshit, it's just nonsense. If you can calm down at that time, it means you are a coward and don't love your family at all. You can tolerate others hurting your family. You can't live so hypocritically. You rush forward You may regret it for a short time if you take that kick, but if you don’t fly up and kick it, you will regret it for the rest of your life.”
"..."
Therefore, when the Manchester Evening News published an article in the newspaper, the headline was also very eye-catching: "Chinese Dong firmly supports Cantona. He said that if it were him, he would also fly up!"
"The Chinese director believes that the fans are to blame themselves..."
