Chapter 87: Will Ferguson Admit Defeat?

What is "Liverpool is undoubtedly the most powerful team in European football today",

What "Liverpool is the representative of English football"...

Could these words have been heard from Ferguson before?

Even if you can hear it, it has a different meaning.

For example, in the second season when Su Han came to Liverpool, Ferguson once praised Su Han before the match against Liverpool. He praised Su Han as a very high-level player. At that time, he could already compete with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. On an equal footing -.

In fact, Ferguson was right, at least looking at it now - there is no problem at all.

Today's Su Han is not only on the same level as Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, but even better than them.

But it is by no means that Ferguson had a foresight at that time, because he was not really praising Su Han at all.

He didn't care at all how far Su Han could go.

This compliment is just to confuse Su Han.

Of course, what Ferguson did was too clumsy at that time-who would have thought that a Manchester United manager would praise a Liverpool player?

Such a thing has never happened in the decades of history of Liverpool and Manchester United.

Ferguson was too anxious and didn't realize this problem.

Instead, Liverpool and Su Han took advantage of their tricks, defeated Manchester United at home and caught Ferguson by surprise.

Later, Ferguson also realized this problem, so he never praised Su Han again. On the contrary, his subsequent performance was the normal performance of a Manchester United coach in the face of Liverpool—there was absolutely no good words out of his mouth, only curses and attack.

Unexpectedly, Ferguson would be so generous to send goodwill and blessings to his sworn enemy during the last England national derby under Ferguson's coaching.

Although surprised, most people don't think there is any problem.

This is reasonable.

There is a saying that goes well, "When a man is about to die, his words are also good".

People are going to die, and everything they say sounds much better, and any grievances and grievances have been put down.

This person is going to die, what is there to do with hatred?

It's better to let yourself go free and easy.

In everyone's opinion, Ferguson is now in this situation.

He is about to retire, no matter how much grievance and hatred he had with Liverpool when he was in office, he has to let go at this time.

Anyway, it's the last game, instead of leaving everyone with the image of a mean old man, it's better to let everyone remember a kind elder.

This is also in line with the mentality of many people.

No matter how much hatred there is, it should be put down at this time.

After all, being in his position is seeking his own government, and you are no longer in his position, so what are you fussing about?

The feud between Liverpool and Manchester United, let your successor continue.

Because of this idea, no one doubted Ferguson's motive for saying so.

And Ferguson didn't just praise Liverpool and Su Han, he also belittled his own team.

He said that in front of Liverpool, Manchester United is already useless, so it is time for Manchester United to step down from the throne of ruling England and give up the throne to someone more qualified to sit on it.

The old lord has made countless enemies all his life, he is tough to the end, when did he say such soft words?

It seems that it is really time to retire, people are extraordinarily weak and easy to worry

In fact, if Ferguson made such a statement a year earlier, I am afraid that it would have caused countless suspicions in the media.

Because the timing was wrong.

But under the circumstances that Ferguson has already decided to retire after the end of the season, everyone will instinctively think that there is no problem with what he says now.

No matter what he does or says. An old man who is about to retire, doesn't he even have such a little power?

In the past, he wanted to maintain the momentum and majesty of the majestic giants Manchester United, so he had to wear a mask and act like that to scare people.

After a long time, the world has long been used to and accepted the image of his mask, even he himself has already accepted this mask, thinking that this mask is himself

Now that he is about to retire, he can naturally take off this mask without any scruples, no longer needing to care about what other people say or look at in surprise.

——The above are the thoughts of outsiders.

So how does Ferguson himself view this matter?

Ferguson didn't say anything. He neither explained why he said that to his closest assistant McPhelan, nor did he explain to those some upset Manchester United players.

He acted as if he had never said anything, and was still busy training and analyzing the opponent's intelligence every day.

He is busy, but if you observe carefully, you will find that his back is getting more and more stooped.

This is like an ordinary old man who is about to leave his favorite job and go home to retire.

Just like an old man who is about to retire.

Today's Ferguson, in the eyes of everyone, is actually such an old man who is going to retire, and any changes in his psychology are normal.

You know, they claim to die on the coach's bench...

Bowing his head to time now, what a blow to a proud old man?

It didn't take long, and within a few days after Ferguson's speech, everyone knew that Ferguson had accepted his fate.

In the last few years of his coaching career, he encountered such a perverted combination of Liverpool and Su Han, which led to the end of his dream of leading Manchester United to continue to dominate English football.

No matter how much unwillingness he had in his heart, he could only let go of his hatred at this time.

Because it is very simple, he has no ability to lead Manchester United to end Liverpool's dominance again.

He started his tenure at Manchester United with the goal of ending Liverpool's dominance, and he did.

Unexpectedly, the tacit understanding of his coaching career, his rule was overthrown by Liverpool again.

It's really a good reincarnation...

So Ferguson, who accepted his fate, shouldn't behave like this?

It's just that the resentment in the eyes of those Manchester United players is getting stronger and more obvious.

So obvious that even a fool should see it.

0…ask for flowers……………

Ferguson still didn't express anything, as if there were no people and things in this world that he would pay attention to.

Now he's just an old guy who waits for the last game and then retires.

As for why the Manchester United players were upset, he didn't even care, and he didn't even ask McPhelan.

Why are Manchester United players outraged?

At first they felt hurt that their head coach looked down on them.

However, it was later discovered that this was not the case, but that Ferguson was disheartened, and their dissatisfaction with the coach shifted their target and pointed at Liverpool.

Their natural way is who made Ferguson so decadent, those Liverpool people!

If it weren't for the strong rise of Liverpool, Manchester United would still be the overlord of English football and the Premier League champion.

It's all this damn Liverpool, and they're all going to be human with their tails between their legs.

When did the players of the Premier League overlord Manchester United live such a life?

I have endured all this.

What's even more exasperating is that they actually made our boss look ten years older!

This is the last national derby led by the boss, can we watch him leave in such a dispirited way?

No!

We should give him a win!

Although we all know it is difficult, we always have to work hard!

In our own home court, didn't we almost do it?

Yes, as long as our whole team works together, we can always do it!

We are Manchester United, and the gap with Liverpool is not as big as everyone thinks!

The Manchester United team even held a team meeting specifically for this matter. The meeting was held behind closed doors in the locker room, and no one outside knew what was said.

However, it can be seen that the players' enthusiasm for training is higher, their training attitude is more serious, and they are more able to bear hardships.

On the sidelines of the training field, looking at these high-spirited Manchester United players, the assistant coach McPhelan couldn't help but feel high-spirited: "Even if we face Liverpool with Su Han in the away game, I believe that Manchester United will not have no chance at all! Look Look at these highly motivated players, they will surprise Liverpool!"

After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Ferguson who was standing beside him.

He got no response from Ferguson.

Ferguson was standing there, but his eyes were erratic, and he didn't know what he was looking at. In short, he didn't focus on the training ground.

McPhelan is no stranger to this look these days.

Naturally, I also know why.

Although he knew it, every time he saw Ferguson like this, he felt heartache and regret.

He sighed in his heart, turned his head back again, and buried it down.

He remembered the game lost to Liverpool at Anfield last season. After the game, Ferguson said to McPhelan, "I know what the media will say after the game. But I will not admit defeat, Manchester United will not admit defeat."

United haven't thrown in the towel yet, but where have you been who won't?
