Chapter 555 The loyal soul of the Red Devil! The greatest and most low-key midfielder in football ri

On Manchester United's bench, there are still two world-class midfielders - the ginger-headed Scholes and the card god Carrick.

Paul Scholes was also a member of the Class of 92, but at the beginning, Sir Alex Ferguson was not optimistic about Scholes and did not even plan to sign the young Scholes. This was the decision of the then youth training coach Harris. Highly recommended, Ferguson reluctantly allowed Scholes to enter the 92nd class.

There was a reason why Ferguson was not optimistic about Scholes. At that time, Scholes was not only short, but also had a big head, uncoordinated limbs, thin body, and extremely poor confrontation.

Although Scholes had already shown extraordinary talent at that time, the disadvantage of being frail and sick made it difficult for the experienced Ferguson to believe that Scholes could create miracles and become a star.

Ferguson even felt that Scholes simply could not persist in Class 92 with extremely intense training.

But the final facts proved that Ferguson was wrong.

Ferguson rarely made mistakes, but Ferguson himself admitted that he was wrong about Scholes from the beginning.

Scholes has created a miracle that ordinary people cannot create. He went from a child who was almost impossible to play to becoming a world-class midfielder through his own efforts.

Scholes' nickname is Ginger Head. This nickname has a long history and is an insulting title in itself, because when Scholes was seven or eight years old, his limbs were very short, but his head was very big. Children with physical problems.

But Scholes likes playing football very much, and his parents also support him playing football for his health. However, because he looks sick and weird, children of the same age are not willing to play with him, and Scholes also He can only play football with kids older than him.

Because of his young age, short limbs and big head, he was nicknamed "Freak Scholes", "Carrot Head" and "Ginger Head" by the senior children.

Scholes was very angry, but he couldn't beat these senior kids, so he could only practice hard by himself.

This also created his stubborn character of being reticent to talk when encountering problems.

Later, with his own strength, after Scholes came to Class 92, he was looked down upon by all his brothers. Even head coach Ferguson looked at him with disgust.

According to the physical examination report before entering Class 92, Scholes suffered from severe asthma, albinism, and eye diseases.

Not to mention albinism and eye diseases, asthma alone is enough to sentence Scholes' career to death.

However, Scholes persisted in the almost crazy training of Class 92.

Not only did he persevere, but Scholes also beat Giggs, Beckham, and the Neville brothers to win the best training award.

There are many stars in Ferguson's class of '92. Beckham is undoubtedly the most influential, and Giggs is undoubtedly the one Ferguson relies on the most. But the strongest player in the class of '92, the one who can be called the midfield master, is Ginger Head. Coles.

The existence of Scholes allows Ferguson to boldly change tactics, whether it is 442 or 433, whether it is flying on both wings or passing and controlling flow, as long as Scholes is there, Ferguson can boldly change tactics.

Scholes is also the most underrated midfield maestro.

As the saying goes, the world is dominated by midfielders. There are many midfield masters in the world today, such as Zidane, Pirlo, Xavi, Iniesta, and even Gerrard and Lampard. He is a master of midfield.

However, few people would immediately think of Scholes.

Because he is so low-key that no matter whether he is taking pictures or winning a championship, he is always at the very back or in the most hidden corner. But for such a low-key person, he is a player that all the above midfield masters admire.

There is a saying in the current football world-when we are all discussing who is the midfield master, the masters are all discussing Scholes.

Zidane said of Scholes: "He is undoubtedly the greatest midfielder of this generation. His performance is almost impeccable, he makes the game look easy because his natural ability is so strong. His game I never tire of it, you rarely see a complete midfielder, but Scholes is the closest. One of the biggest regrets of my career is not having the chance to play with him. If I had to say one The opponent I fear the most is Paul Scholes of Manchester United, because he is a true master."

Xavi is also a fan of Scholes: "The best and most complete midfielder I have seen in the past 15 to 20 years is Scholes. I talked to Xavi Alonso about him many times." Coles is an amazing player who has it all, he can make the final pass, he can score goals, he is strong, he is never crowded out on the ball and rarely misses a pass. If he were Spanish, He's probably worth more."

Scholes' playing style is full of imagination, and his offensive methods are extremely diverse. He can not only attack with the ball, but also wait for opportunities to pass fatal strikes. The most commendable thing is his ability to attack from behind. After passing the ball to his teammates, he was still in midfield and was able to sneak into the penalty area like a ghost and grab the best attack point to complete the fatal blow.

Scholes deserves to be called the best long-ball player in the history of the Premier League. His attainments in passing have reached the pinnacle.

Scholes is a man of few words, but he is extremely active on the court. He speaks with his feet. He is an indispensable part of the Manchester United and England teams.

Scholes can always pass the ball in an understatement, and he can make opponents frightened with accuracy. This is the scary thing about Scholes.

During his nearly 20 years at Manchester United, Scholes left many wonderful back-breaking goals and wonderful long-distance transfers. His passing skills, vision and ball control skills are all impressive.

Scholes was a quiet and low-key midfielder, but his greatness did not stop at those devastating volleys.

Premier League top scorer Alan Shearer once said of Scholes: "Scholes' passing and shooting are at the highest level, and he can also tackle. Scholes is the most stable player in England for a long time. The most talented player."

Scholes is also a model of lifelong loyalty to one team.

Moreover, Scholes is better than Giggs because Scholes has not had any scandals at all since his debut. Whether it is a positive transfer scandal or a negative cheating scandal, Scholes has not had any.

Scholes is so low-key that he can almost be called a ball-blind filter.

This low profile also affected his position in the national team - the England national team gave the midfield position to the more popular Lampard and Gerrard, but did not give it to the more powerful Scholes. .

Disappointed, Scholes announced his retirement from the England national team to concentrate on playing for his club.

This has also led to England not being able to go far in the World Cup, and it has also led to Scholes not being able to show his brilliance in the World Cup.

Currently, the 36-year-old Scholes has decided to retire at the end of this season.

In addition to this FA Cup final, Scholes will also play as a substitute in the remaining two Premier League games and the Champions League semi-finals and finals - and in these games, Scholes has the most What I hope to be able to play is this FA Cup match with the English League One team Southampton.

Therefore, today's game is likely to be Scholes' farewell game.

Therefore, Manchester United fans are extremely eager for this final. The Red Devils are ready. Once Scholes comes on as a substitute, they will use the warmest and craziest cheers in their lives to pay tribute to this loyal Red Devils soul.
