Whether in real life or in the green world, there is always no shortage of unlucky eggs. Some people, obviously have a good ability, have not made any serious mistakes, but along the way but step by step, occasionally encounter some extremely outrageous negative events, life experience that is called a sad. For example, the owner of this article announced Richie, and his deeds are very typical:
Wayne Bridge was born on August 5, 1980 in the port city of Southampton, England. Although he moved with his family to live elsewhere as a child, he eventually began his playing career at Southampton.
In 1998, Bridge made his first-team debut for Southampton. At this stage, he mainly showed himself as a full-back, not a full-back. However, compared to the full-back position, the main seat of the full-back will obviously be more fierce, and it is difficult for the fledgling Bridge to guarantee his starting status. A few years later, due to the injury of the team's original main left-back Francis Benelli, Bridge simply switched to full-back, which became a regular in Southampton's starting line-up.
After the transformation, Bridge is a typical English full-back. It may not be as good technically, but he is better than a fit and fit, and he is definitely a qualified left-back. In the days that followed, Bridge's attendance was impressive, at one point setting a Premier League record of 113 consecutive appearances (unfortunately, it was broken by Frank Lampard not long after), showing the style of the Iron Man.
A Britannica man with good strength and amazing attendance will naturally get the attention of other clubs. In the summer of 2003, the summer when Abu had only joined Stamford Bridge, Chelsea used the old international blackmail Sox as a trade chip, plus £7 million in real money, which brought Bridge to Stamford Bridge.
The 2003–04 season was Bridge's first with Chelsea. The Chelsea manager at the time was still Italian coach Ranieli. The newcomer Bridge, who thrived under Ranieli, soon became Chelsea's main left-back. He has played 33 Premier League games all season and is definitely worth it.
Unfortunately, Bridge and Ranieri have only worked together for one season. In the summer of 2004, Chelsea made the decision to change coaches and brought in Jose Mourinho, who had put Porto to the top of Europe.
To be fair, when Jose Mourinho was only in charge of Stamford Bridge, Uncle Bird still valued Bridge. This can be seen in the transfer deal. In the summer of 2004, Mourinho brought in Carvalho at centre-back and Ferreira at right-back, but not at left-back. In the winter window of the 2004-05 season, Mourinho sent away the team's backup left-back Barbayaro.
At this time, Chelsea, the left-back position only left Bridge, a full-time left-back, plus a central defender who can play as a left-back. It is not difficult to imagine that Mourinho absolutely trusts Bridge. Otherwise, with Chelsea's financial resources at the time, it would have been possible to bring in strong reinforcements in the left-back position.
In fact, in Jose Mourinho's first season at Stamford Bridge, Bridge got plenty of playing time. Around February 2005, the British Iron Man made 15 Premier League appearances. However, just when the situation was good, Bridge suffered a serious ankle fracture in the fifth round of the FA Cup against Newcastle and rested for a long time.
In desperation, Mourinho can only reuse Gala and bring in the transfer market. When Bridge finally returned to the court, he faced not only Gala, who played as a guest left-back, but also new signing Del Horno. An injury of this magnitude of an ankle fracture does not mean that you can get back to your condition immediately after returning from injury.
Everyone understands that it is too difficult for Bridge to regain the main seat in this situation. In the winter window of the 2005-06 season, Mourinho simply made the decision to loan Bridge to Fulham.
Renting out does not mean giving up. Mourinho probably did this for two reasons: first, Fulham's team is certainly less competitive than Chelsea, which means that Bridge has the opportunity to get more playing time; Second, the 2006 World Cup in Germany is about to begin, and if Uncle Bird keeps Bridge on the bench at Chelsea, the player will most likely lose the opportunity to participate in the World Cup.
Bridge, who was loaned out by Jose Mourinho, really established himself at Fulham and got the opportunity to play in the World Cup with the Three Lions. However, because of Ashley Cole, it is difficult for Bridge to become the main left-back of the Three Lions.
After the World Cup, Bridge also ended his loan career and returned to Jose Mourinho. But this summer, Bridge's return to Stamford Bridge, Ashley Cole donned the Chelsea shirt. And at this time, Ashley Cole, even the most conservative statement, is the world's top three left-back, which makes Bridge compete?
Just like that, Bridge could only sit on the bench at Chelsea waiting for his chance. For a player in his prime of play, this treatment is really uncomfortable. By the 2008-09 winter window, Bridge simply made the decision to move to Manchester City.
At the beginning of his arrival at Manchester City, Bridge got a lot of playing time and played quite well. But just when the situation was good, the British iron man once again encountered a devastating blow: his girlfriend Vanessa actually betrayed him and mixed with Terry.
Betrayed by his girlfriend, this is already a very heavy blow. However, what makes Bridge more uncomfortable is still to come, the Sun not only made public the scandal between Vanessa and Terry, but also broke many details, which caused many onlookers to eat melons. That is, the whole world knows that Bridge was green...
Things have developed to this extent, and it is not difficult to imagine how much psychological pressure Bridge's has been. Although Bridge successfully avenged John Terry on the field and helped Manchester City win the focus battle against Chelsea, where can it be so easy to survive this turmoil?
To make matters worse, injuries also came to the door at this time. The psychological pressure combined with the double blow of injuries has made Bridge, a former iron man, no longer find the feeling of playing at his peak. It didn't take long for City to make the decision to give up Bridge, loaning him to West Ham United, Sunderland and Brighton.
At this level, Bridge's career has no future. It didn't take long for news of Bridge's announcement of his retirement. At this time, he was not too old, just 33 years old.
