481: David is my best successor

Carrington training base in Manchester, England, Manchester United club building, head coach's office.

David Gill stared closely at the meritorious coach Ferguson in front of him.

"Do you really think so highly of him?"

Ferguson nodded slightly, wiped his red nose and said, "He is indeed very good. He is the best young coach I have seen in recent years. He is even unique among young coaches. His techniques and tactics are also very advanced, and he has a set of mature things. To be honest, I am really angry, how did he do this. This is really... so different from his youth. !”

Gil raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it his teacher Frank who is helping him from behind? Frank taught him everything he has learned throughout his life?"

Ferguson pondered slightly, thought for a while, shook his head slightly and said, "Unlikely! Of course, Frank's influence on him is very important for him to be able to get to this day. But although his things are derived from Frank's things, There are also many things of his own in it. And these things actually occupy a dominant position."

Jill said, "What's better than being good?"

Ferguson said, "Yes! Look at Frank's coaching achievements. He is much worse than his disciples! But his theoretical things are very strong. Otherwise, he would not have been able to bring out so many Excellent head coaches, not to mention David and Klopp, even Tuchel, who is emerging in the Bundesliga, was influenced by Frank."

Jill lowered her head and thought carefully.

Although Tuchel's mentor was Ralf Rangnick, he also went to Mainz 05 for further studies. He worked in the Mainz 05 youth team for a period of time and was influenced by the imprint left by Frank and Klopp. , and it also affected Tuchel. Moreover, some shadows of Frank's things can be seen in Tuchel's tactics now.

There is no problem with Ferguson saying this.

Gill immediately praised, "This Frank is really awesome! How many generations of German football has he been affected by this? He has laid a solid foundation for German football!"

Ferguson also nodded slightly, and then said, "Yes, Frank is very powerful! His students are even more powerful. Look at David and Klopp. To be honest, between David and Klopp, I’m more optimistic about David. That’s why I recommend David to you!”

Yes, this is not the first time that Ferguson recommended Tong Yi to Manchester United's top management.

Gil looked at Ferguson and nodded slightly, but he still hesitated and asked, "But Alex, are you really ready to retire now? In our opinion, you are the most suitable for our Manchester United team. We still have I want to see you continue to lead Manchester United."

Yes, Gill and the others are still reluctant to let Ferguson resign and leave.

Ferguson shook his head slightly and said, "I actually don't really want to leave, but my body is no longer good. I can feel it myself, and the doctor has suggested to me many times that I leave my job and retire. Because my heart, blood vessels, etc. are all damaged." It’s impossible to withstand the high pressure anymore

Yes, do you understand? "

Gill looked at Ferguson with a worried face, feeling a little sorry for Ferguson.

Don't look at what Ferguson has said at Manchester United over the years. He is simply the king of Manchester United and feels very glorious. In fact, the pressure on him is very high, and he can withstand it for so many years. This is the great thing about Ferguson.

To be honest, Ferguson really paid too much for Manchester United.

Jill immediately asked, "Are you feeling well now?"

Ferguson smiled slightly and said, "I don't have any physical problems at the moment. In fact, I originally wanted to retire next year or the year after that, because firstly, I want to win another league championship with Manchester United, and secondly, I haven't found the right fit yet." successor."

Gil nodded slightly to show his understanding.

Ferguson continued, "But now the right candidate has appeared, and the time is also the best. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to say in another year or two. Maybe if you miss this time, you will miss David forever! So! , I think it is the best plan for me to step down at this time and let David take over Manchester United. In this way, I can be free for a few more years, and Manchester United's results are guaranteed!"

Gil nodded and then asked, "Do you really think so highly of David? He has no experience coaching a wealthy club and he can control the locker room of a wealthy club?"

Ferguson smiled slightly and said, "When I took over Manchester United, did I have experience?"

Jill also smiled slightly and said, "Yes!"

Ferguson also smiled and said nothing.

Gill looked at Ferguson, and then said, "Then let's contact David now? However, I wonder what David thinks of us at Manchester United?"

Previously, their Manchester United team had symbolically contacted Tong Yi. However, Tong Yi still had a contract with 1860 Munich at the time and had no contact with them at all, so they didn't know Tong Yi's attitude towards Manchester United.

Ferguson immediately said, "Let's make contact first. He may not come to our Manchester United. There are many competitors with our Manchester United. Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Hamburg and other teams are eager to try, and even Manchester City also wants to get involved. "

Jill nodded slightly, this is true.

This guy Tong Yi is now the top star in European football, and it's not just Manchester United who are eyeing him. Manchester United may not be able to bring in Tong Yi in the end.

Gill immediately said, "I will have someone contact Tong Yi now to test his attitude towards our Manchester United team!"

Ferguson nodded slightly and agreed.

Then, Gill looked up at Ferguson and asked, "What if David doesn't want to come to our Manchester United team? What is our plan B?"

Ferguson sighed and said, "If

If this is the case, then I can only work hard and continue coaching Manchester United. Just check out my fellow countryman Moyes and see if he has the ability to take over Manchester United now! "

In this regard, Jill was not surprised at all.

The fact that Ferguson is paying attention to Moyes is transparent to their senior management and they are all aware of it.

Even the top management of Manchester United is secretly inspecting Moyes to see if he is qualified to coach Manchester United.

So far, they still have no conclusion.

Compared to Moyes, Manchester United's top brass is more optimistic about Tong Yi. ??

This guy Tong Yi is young, and he is at the peak of his career, and his results are very good. If he comes to Manchester United and can continue his operation in Munich 1860, then he is likely to be the next Ferguson of Manchester United.

Therefore, the top management of Manchester United still has expectations for this.

Gill asked, "Then we still have to discuss signings!"

Yes, Ferguson may not retreat now. At this time, Manchester United cannot put their eggs in Tong Yi's basket. Otherwise, if Tong Yi is unwilling to come to Manchester United before the start of the season, then Manchester United will be delayed in preparing for the league to recruit players for next season?

At this time, you have to grasp it with both hands!

Gill is well aware of Ferguson's current concern, which is that Manchester United lacks a midfield engine.

Scholes retired after last season. However, because Manchester United's midfield was very poor during the season and there was no qualified midfield organizer to connect the team, this forced Ferguson to call back Scholes, who had retired for half a year. Scholes also came back after half a season of retirement and played for Manchester United for another half season.

Manchester United eventually finished second in the league.

Manchester United and Manchester City have the same points, both 89 points, but Manchester United is lower than Manchester City in goal difference, thus losing the league championship.

If Manchester United has an excellent organizing midfielder this season, then they will definitely be able to reverse Manchester City and win the Premier League championship.

Therefore, the most important task for Manchester United now is to introduce a core midfielder.

Previously, the result of Ferguson and Gill's discussion was to introduce Dortmund's Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa. This guy played very well in Dortmund, and Ferguson also liked the way he played. This is the core of the midfield they need.

It is said that Shinji Kagawa himself is more inclined to join Manchester United.

Dortmund is also willing to sell these players, and he wants to cash out. Moreover, in the new season, young people such as Gotze and Reus in their team will step up. More importantly, Sahin, who transferred from Dortmund to Real Madrid, also had a bad life in Real Madrid and has the intention of returning. .

Therefore, Dortmund’s sale of Shinji Kagawa really won’t be a big deal.

Influence, but also make a lot of money.

After all, they only spent 350,000 euros when they introduced Shinji Kagawa, and now that they are selling Shinji Kagawa, the transfer fee starts at at least 20 million euros.

Therefore, Dortmund will not prevent Shinji Kagawa from leaving.

Manchester United should have no problem winning Shinji Kagawa.

However, there is a problem now. This guy Tong Yi is destined to leave Munich 1860. Then Munich 1860 is a large star supermarket in the eyes of other European football teams. These young and outstanding players of Munich 1860 will become popular in the transfer market in an instant.

In the eyes of Ferguson and Gill, the person they most wanted to win became the Belgian midfielder De Bruyne in the Munich 1860 team.

Ferguson admires De Bruyne very much and has expressed his desire to introduce De Bruyne many times. However, there are too many suitors for De Bruyne. Secondly, Tong Yi will not sell De Bruyne in Munich 1860.

Now that Tong Yi is gone, who else can keep people like De Bruyne?

Therefore, this is also the best time to introduce De Bruyne!

Ferguson said, "Even if David finally comes to our Manchester United team, he will be very happy to see De Bruyne. So, in terms of Shinji Kagawa and De Bruyne, I think we should pursue De Bruyne." Yes. Of course, De Bruyne must be much more expensive than Shinji Kagawa!"

Ferguson only made suggestions, and it was Gill who made the decisions about spending money.

Gill looked at Ferguson and asked, "Is there a big difference in strength between these two people?"

Ferguson immediately said, "To be honest, there is a big difference. Shinji Kagawa is indeed very good, but De Bruyne is many times better than him. In my opinion, I am not used to others. Apart from David, the only one we have this summer is Our goal is to bring in De Bruyne!"

This shows how much Ferguson values ​​De Bruyne.

Gill frowned, De Bruyne is very expensive!

Previously, Chelsea and Manchester City had raised De Bruyne's net worth to more than 30 million pounds, and even reached 35 million pounds. This money is indeed not much for Manchester United, but it always feels like a bit of a loss. He feels that De Bruyne's net worth is still a bit inflated.

However, he also knows very well that if he does not exaggerate, he will not be able to win De Bruyne.

There are too many people chasing De Bruyne.

And these guys are very rich!

Obviously, Manchester United wants to win De Bruyne this summer, and they are really going to bleed. Even, Gill has set a bottom line of 40 million pounds in his heart. Beyond this hurdle, he felt it was no longer necessary, and it would be good to introduce Shinji Kagawa.

Gil looked at Ferguson and immediately said, "Okay, I'll contact Munich 1860 right now!"
