Gary neville was born in greater manchester on February 1975. Since he was a child, Manchester United's red blood has flowed through his veins. After entering Manchester United Football School, Gary Neville led the Manchester United youth team to win the FA Youth Cup this season. Later, the history of football evaluated these players as "92 Golden Generation".
Newton once said, "Geniuses can't succeed because they lack perseverance." On the other hand, gary neville knew that he was not a genius. When he made countless geniuses disappear to the right of his guards, he made more efforts than geniuses. This controversial young man as a child was judged to have zero football talent in 1993. When Giggs, Beckham and even his younger brother all showed better talents than themselves, they were often pointed at because of their height. Even photographers put some books at their feet to increase their height when taking group photos. All this, he silently endured, and he chose to train harder. After being dormant for two years in the first team, Neville's chance came in the 1994-95 season when paul parker, the main right-back of Manchester United and an English international, suffered from frequent injuries. Neville seized the opportunity and gradually became the first choice of Manchester United right-back with his excellent performance on the field. After 1995-96 and 96-97 seasons, Neville has grown into the absolute main right-back of Manchester United, helping Manchester United win two Premier League titles and one FA Cup title in two years. The tacit understanding that he and Beckham cultivated on the right since childhood began to emerge gradually, becoming the most powerful combination of gold power in the Premier League.
1998-99 season, Manchester United attacked in the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League. Neville, as the main right-back, seems to be the most insignificant figure in that team. He is far less eye-catching than Beckham, Ryan Giggs and Keane, but no one can deny his contribution and dare to ignore him. He defended steadily on the right, and also threatened to insert assists. He is very accurate in bottom pass and oblique pass. In the end, it helped Manchester United win the triple crown, and in the next two seasons 1990-2000 and 2000-200 1, it helped Manchester United continue to dominate the Premier League and complete the triple crown. Neville tells us with his own story that every 25-year-old man can be a hero. Maybe he doesn't have the love like Beckham, but he can make a pair of invisible wings like himself.
Life is like waves in the sea. After the glory, the constant personnel adjustment made Manchester United enter a turbulent period. In the 2002-03 season, after Manchester United won the Premier League championship with a slight advantage, from the second half of 2003, Manchester United missed the Premier League championship for three consecutive seasons. During this period, No.7 Beckham became Ronaldinho, and legendary captain roy keane also canceled his contract. At this time, gary neville stood up and took on the important task of captain. On March 27th, 2006, Manchester United beat Birmingham at home. For the fans, this is just an ordinary league game, but for Neville, this is the 500th time he has put on the Red Devils jersey. At that moment, his name was tied with bobby charlton and Dennis Law. Invisible wings have always kept their true colors in the sun and rain, guarding the right path of the Red Devils. That season, Neville led the team to win the Carling Cup, which was Neville's first championship as captain. He proudly said, I have never evaded the challenge since I was 1 1 years old; He also said that I had been waiting for a rejection all my youth. But who would have thought that rejection would come so soon? On that night in Germany in the summer of 2006, he cried like a child. He was really sad this time. He hid his face and didn't want to be seen. Neville didn't feel depressed after the World Cup. People will never forget that Gary Neville, as the captain, led Manchester United into the stadium in the home game against Everton on October 29th, 2006/KLOC-0. It was his younger brother philip neville who led the opponent into the stadium. At that moment, Gary and Phil were thinking: you, me, him, all the people, things and things that have become the past. Their names are all years. And those impressions used to record the years are also called memories. Once supported each other and walked side by side, it should be the most innocent time for two people, but now they meet on the field. Phil, are you okay in another country?
Farewell to philip neville, Gary Neville maintained a very high level of competition throughout the season, and the team won the Premier League championship with great advantages after four years. The advantage is so great that the main players of Neville's team can sit in the stands and watch the ball leisurely when their opponents Chelsea line up to meet the new champion, which is undoubtedly another peak in Manchester United's history. Neville's rate started the peak of the team, but unfortunately missed the peak of the team. In March 2007, Neville was forced to retreat by speed against Bolton, but no one expected that his injury was 18 months. The 2007-08 season is the strongest season for Manchester United in recent years. They won the Premier League and the Champions League, but as the team captain, Neville almost spent the season in the stands. Despite Qi Xin's cooperation in rehabilitation training, Neville's only contribution this season was to come off the bench for 20 minutes in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final. When Neville was replaced, the whole old Trafford stood up and applauded him, and Giggs offered to hand him the captain's armband. That moment is the mutual appreciation between heroes. Outside the final, Neville can't go into battle to kill the enemy himself. When he rushed into the stadium in a suit and celebrated the victory with the team, when he threw himself into Ferguson's arms like a child, we didn't see him worried about his personal honor. What we see is the red spirit passing, and we see a real man.
In September 2008, 33-year-old Neville came out of 18 months of injury. This 18 month's rest also made him lose the rhythm of the game, but these scarred wings are still trying to fly and do their best for Manchester United to achieve the third consecutive Premier League title for the second time. At the end of the season, Neville won the 1 1 Premier League trophy as captain in Manchester United's history. When he carefully carried his son on the podium, we saw the softest side of the captain's heart.
20 10 Manchester United's right-back position has been held by O 'Shea and Raphael alternately. On April 1 day, Scholes beat Manchester City in injury time, and Gary didn't celebrate crazily as usual. He went to Scholes and kissed his brother who grew up with him deeply. The kiss was affectionate and shocking. Gary seems to be saying goodbye to his teammates, the team and his 20 years of youth in the most romantic way.
20 1 1 February, Gary Neville officially announced his retirement with honor and injury. When people asked him to sum up his career, the most hardworking, low-key and greatest No.2 player in history only left a faint sentence-I tried my best.
The beginning of the novel is not so gorgeous, it is a space for imagination; At the end of a movie, there is a little regret, which is a touching and beautiful moment. It's like you've never been disappointed or hurt, and you still believe that you can fly as high as the sky. If I want to use a name to interpret No.2, I think my answer must be: gary neville, the captain of Manchester United, always guarding the invisible wings in the right sky of Old Trafford.
