In the past few days, Greenwood's release on bail on suspicion of domestic violence has triggered heated discussions among all parties, and even triggered a split in the Manchester United dressing room. The reason is that after the Greenwood accident, Manchester United quickly made a move to draw a line with him, and several team leaders led by C Ronaldo also cancelled their attention to Greenwood's social media accounts, which caused dissatisfaction among other players.
For Greenwood, Manchester United's approach can be described as clean, they first made a suspension penalty for the player, and then deleted all the information about Greenwood on the official website, and removed greenwood's jersey and other peripheral products from the official store, and even changed the name of the fans who bought the Greenwood jersey for free, and C Ronaldo and some other team bigwigs have also taken off the Greenwood account, which makes other Manchester United players dissatisfied, in their opinion, Greenwood has not yet been convicted, and before this, The team should not choose to give up quickly, and should give him help, and the practice of C Ronaldo and others shows that they only care about their own situation.
It's hard to draw conclusions about who is right and who's wrong in this matter, but it's enough to say that there is a split in the Manchester United dressing room, which is already a tradition of the Premier League giants. After the accident of the teammates who had fought together, most of the players chose Mingzhe to protect themselves, and they did not see the cohesion that this team should have. However, considering their record this season, it is not surprising that such a practice is not surprising.
In fact, Greenwood isn't the only Talented England player to get into trouble. In September 2020, England challenged Iceland away in a UEFA Nations League match, and after the match, two England internationals, 20-year-old Foden and 18-year-old Greenwood, were revealed to have taken the two girls back to the hotel where the team was staying, which caused an uproar at the time. Afterwards, England coach Southgate quickly made the decision to forcibly repatriate the two. In that case, Foden was even more harshly accused, because although he was only 20 years old, he already had children of his own, and it was naturally a little unforgivable for such a thing as a father. Greenwood had just broken up with his model girlfriend who had been beaten up and was single. But in any case, both of them seriously violated the local epidemic prevention policy.
But after that disciplinary incident, the fates of Foden and Greenwood began to change. Greenwood, although he still has a lot of playing time at Manchester United, has been in a slump for a long time. Foden continued to play well, contributing to City's Premier League, League Cup and Champions League runners-up. Last season, Foden scored a big double-double of 16 goals and 10 assists in 50 games, and repeatedly completed the Champions League. With outstanding performances, Foden successfully returned to England to play in last summer's Euro 2020 competition.
Greenwood, who also had 12 goals and five assists in 52 games, did not fare at his best and did not regain Southgate's favor. In fact, after that time he was kicked out of the national team, Greenwood never wore england shirts again. The media even broke the news that Greenwood once told Southgate that he would either give him the main position or not recruit him to the national team. While this news may not be true, it is enough to show that Greenwood's personality is obedient, but on the other hand, in his growth, Manchester United clubs do not seem to have fulfilled their responsibilities.
Let's take a look at how Manchester City and Guardiola have dealt with Foden. As one of the most outstanding representatives of Manchester City's youth training, Foden has always been very popular with Guardiola and is very tolerant of his growth. In the 2018/19 Champions League group stage, Manchester City beat Atalanta 5-1, and Foden was sent off with two yellow cards in the match. Guardiola simply said that Foden would learn from it and that she would not punish him for it. In the Icelandic incident, Guardiola did not blame too much, but continued to reuse.
But it would be a mistake to think that Guardiola was doting on Foden. In the 17th round of the Premier League last December, Manchester City won 7-0 at home to United, Foden passed and Glaris also scored a goal. After the game, the triumphant brothers left the team and ran to the nightclub for an all-nighter. As a result, Guardiola did not give face this time, and kicked both of them out of the starting lineup in the following Premier League match against Newcastle, until the 20th round of home games against Brentford, Foden and Gralis returned to the starting lineup.
Asked why the two didn't start, Guardiola's response was very rude, saying that it was not a rotation, he only chose the most suitable player to start, "During the Christmas period, I was very concerned about the behavior of the players on and off the field. If the off-court is not right, they will not be on the field. "It is clear that this time Guardiola's killing stick did not spare Foden.
In Manchester City, there is no group of famous people who point fingers, nor a former manager who guides the country behind the scenes, there is only one absolute protagonist, that is, Guardiola, and all players must obey his management and do their best for him. This is enough for a long time to study next door.
