Chapter 201: Great Earthquake!
Out of the blue, the media received an invitation from Manchester United...... For more up-to-date chapters, visit wèn:щww. The invitation was sudden, and many people noticed that there were only two hours before the press conference began.
Tonight is the match between Manchester United and Arsenal, everyone guesses that most of the things related to this game, however, some reporters with a keen sense of smell feel that something is not right, some things about the game with Arsenal, you can say in the pre-match press conference, there is no need to hold a press conference. So, they guessed that there must be something serious to be announced.
However, no matter what these reporters think, they did not expect to be shocked by what was going to be announced at this press conference.
Because it was a sudden invitation notice, most of the local media in the UK were able to arrive, most of them were relatively close to Manchester, and some were far away, so they invited their own special reporters to deal with the matter. After that, they regretted what an important thing they had missed.
"I still think it's a shabby scene for your contribution to Manchester United. Manchester United CEO Gill said, looking at the number and names of the media in the field, he said, "A great coach is retiring, there should be more *** scenes." ”
"For an old man like me. The most *** scene was when Manchester United won those titles. Ferguson shook his head and said.
The great king, who overlooked the land, will always miss the land he conquered, the cities he conquered, the treasures he harvested from the conquered lands: the glittering trophies of the champions!
These are the most direct evidence that he once existed here and ruled here.
Other than that, it's all in the past.
※※※※※※※
The reporters were talking loudly, but no one seemed to know about today's press conference, and then when they saw Manchester United CEO Gil and Manchester United president Malcolm Glazer, who rarely 'appeared', came out, the people in the audience began to realise that something serious was about to happen. Some veteran reporters who have been covering Manchester United for more than 20 years suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The reporters who were still a little noisy saw Ferguson standing in front of the microphone, they all stopped the noise, they looked at Ferguson quietly, wanting to hear what he said, and some people speculated whether Manchester United was about to announce a heavy recruitment again.
Ferguson swept his gaze over each reporter, and then a smile appeared on the old man's face. He looked at it for a while before he spoke.
"I know some of you don't like me. Ferguson said. His opening remarks sparked a flurry of buzz, with some journalists who were determined to fight Ferguson and Manchester United raise their hands to speak. only to see Ferguson wave his hand.
"Still, I want to thank you, thank you to everyone, those who like me and those who don't, for being able to be here. "As you know, I've been in this position for so long that I can't remember how many times I've seen you say when that damn old Scottish man is going to be out of class and when he's going to retire. ”
Hearing this, all the noise was gone, and everyone was stunned, apparently they realized what this godfather of Manchester United who had ruled Manchester United for more than 20 years and ruled the Premier League for so many years was going to say. Quite a few people opened their mouths wide and looked shocked. They were speechless by the shock.
"Over the years, I owe so much to my family, especially my wife, who watched every game with trepidation, and she was worried that I could fall on the sidelines at any moment...... Here I want to apologize to her for making her worry about my body all the time, I love Manchester United and love Yiqiē here, however, this should not be a reason for my family to be troubled and worried all the time. ”
※※※※※※※
"Well, you should know what I'm going to say by now. Ferguson took a deep breath as the old man tried to hide the hidden tears in his old eyes with a smile, "This is my last season at Manchester United, well, what I'm going to say is that I'm retiring! ”
"Goodbye and thank you all for all these years. ”
BBC5's noon sports news broadcast time was broadcasting news related to this round of Premier League matches, and at this time, a 'plug' broadcast of instant news: the latest news just received, Manchester United Club held a press conference, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson officially announced that he will officially retire at the end of this season.
At this time, the United players were eating in the hotel restaurant and they did not know that their coach had left the hotel for a press conference.
The Manchester United stars who were dining were stunned as they watched the news on the wall-mounted TV in the dining room, and some forgot to put down the forks they were putting in their mouths.
"This time it's really retired, really leaving, thank you to everyone for all these years of companionship, thank you to Manchester United FC, thank you to Manchester United 'fans', thank you to all the lads who have contributed sweat and hard work to Manchester United, whether they are still at Manchester United or have retired or transferred, thank you for the days they have worked with me......"
Ferguson's slightly muddled but calm voice was clearly heard on the TV and into the ears of the United players.
"I'd like to keep working if I could, but that's obviously not possible. That thing doesn't guarantee that my heart will always be fine, will it? Ferguson said, pointing to his heart, where there was a pacemaker.
"Okay, that's what I'm going to talk about today. Ferguson smiled, "Good luck to everyone, except, of course, our opponents in tonight's game." Obviously, when he said that, he was referring to Arsene Wenger, the old opponent.
If it had been before, Ferguson would have said such humorous words, and there would have been a burst of laughter below, but at this moment, no one is laughing, no one is talking, and everyone is still digesting the news that shocked them.
The Scotsman named Alex Ferguson, the godfather of Manchester United who ruled the Premier League for many years and was called a tyrant by those who didn't like him, is retired......
"Goodbye, guys, I've got a lot of work to do. “
After saying this, Ferguson left the press conference, he didn't lie, he was still busy, he didn't say anything about retirement before, he didn't communicate with his players, and now, he still has to appease those disciples......
※※※※※※※
There was silence in the restaurant.
"God, isn't that true?" a voice sounded, it was the teenager Welbeck.
Cristiano Ronaldo didn't say a word, biting the straw of the cow's 'milk', the straw was bitten by him, and the corners of the Portuguese star's eyes were 'damp'.
Scholes, Giggs and other veterans all stood up, some sighed, others looked helpless.
There was a bang.
Everyone was startled by this sound, and then they saw Yang Fan smash the plate on the ground, got up and left the restaurant without saying a word, and then heard the restaurant's 'door' being kicked heavily.
"Yang-" Captain Gary Neville frowned and shouted, but Yang Fan's shadow could still be seen anywhere.
"Forget it. Scholes advised, "He's in a bad mood." ”
Neville stopped talking, Yang Fan was in a bad mood, who was in a good mood among you here? They were all shocked by this sudden news, to be exact, they were shocked.
When he returned to his room, Yang Fan closed the 'door' of the room.
Then people heard a crackling sound in the room, which alarmed many people, and the hotel waiter also arrived, and was about to knock on the 'door', and the 'door' stopped Van der Sar from the waiter, "We will calculate the loss with the hotel, you don't care about it." ”
"But—" said the waiter, somewhat uncertain.
"Didn't you understand what I said?" Van der Sar roared.
The waiter was terrified, this was Manchester United's permanent hotel, and Van der Sar was a notoriously good old man, and he had never seen this man so angry and angry. Later, the departing waiter learned the news, and he finally understood what had caused these Manchester United people to lose their temper so much.
※※※※※※※
Yang Fan is now like an angry, manic bear.
The young man felt cheated, yes, cheated. If Ferguson had said hello to everyone first, maybe Yang Fan would not have been so angry. As Manchester United players, they actually knew the news of their coach's retirement from the TV news, which made Yang Fan unacceptable.
The old Scottish man, he has a deep influence on Yang Fan, although he has only been at Manchester United for one season, but Ferguson's cultivation and influence on Yang Fan in all aspects is far-reaching.
Far away from his homeland, working hard outside, in the face of such a stern but doting old handsome, Yang Fan even regarded Ferguson as his elder. At such a moment, suddenly and quietly learning the news of Ferguson's retirement, Yang Fan's feelings were out of control.
What Ferguson said when he invited him to join Manchester United, the great blueprint that he usually taught him and planned, at this moment, kept popping up in Yang Fan's mind, popping up, making him even more sad and angry, this young man even betrayed this task!
He felt as if he had been an outcast.

"How's the lads?" Back at the hotel, Ferguson brought in assistant coach Mike Ferran, captain Gary Neville, and veterans Paul Scholes, Rio Ferdinand, Ryan Giggs and Nemanja Vidic.
"Not so good. Mike Ferran shook his head. Obviously, this news has a huge impact on Manchester United, Ferguson is the king of Manchester United, it is the sky here, with Ferguson, they have the backbone, they are not afraid of anything, they don't need to worry about anything, suddenly, the king is retiring, as if the sky is falling.
"Boss, have you really made a decision?" Scholes asked, as the 92 generation of players called Ferguson 'the boss'.
"A few years ago, I should have retired. "It's time now, with you in the team and the young guys, and now that the team is very good, I can rest at ease." ”
Ferguson does think so, now is the best time to retire, he doesn't want to retire and leave, leaving a mess, and now Manchester United, the army is strong, even if Cristiano Ronaldo may leave after the season, however, Manchester United has veterans such as Giggs and Scholes, and young superstars like Yang Fan as the core, Manchester United's strength will not lose or change, and it should be able to survive this transition period.
It can be said that Yang Fan's great potential for his 'color' and appearance has given Ferguson confidence, which is a very important factor that prompts Ferguson to decide to retire. With such a talented star, Manchester United will not have a big decline and ups and downs. It can be said that Yang Fan is one of the most valuable assets and capital he left to his successor.
Seeing that Ferguson had made up his mind, everyone sighed for a while, some even cried, and Giggs and others left one after another.
"Alex. Mike Ferran hesitated, but said, "Perhaps, you should go and see Yang, he is very bad." ”
Fei Lan talked about Yang Fan's situation.
Ferguson was stunned and sighed, he didn't expect Yang Fan to react so much, and at the same time, the old man actually felt a little relieved in his heart.
"I'm going to see him. Ferguson sighed, he was not willing to leave these lads, his disciples.
※※※※※※※
Bang Bang Bang!
Ferguson knocked on Yang Fan's door.
"Get out!" came a roar from inside.
Mike Ferran looked at each other. To his surprise, Ferguson didn't get angry, but came up and continued to knock.
"I said,. ”
"It's me. ”
"I don't care who you are. ”
"'Bastard' boy, you say it again. Ferguson shouted angrily.
"No, no, no, no!" came Yang Fan's roar from inside.
"Bastard, do you think I'm going to retire and I can't take care of you?"
"That's right, that's right. Yang Fan's stubborn voice came, "If you want to take care of me, just continue to be my coach, a retired old man, I don't bother to pay attention to it." ”
"'Bastard'!" Ferguson was really angry at this moment, and he yelled at the 'door'.
What stunned everyone was that Yang Fan, who had always been a little afraid of Ferguson, just didn't open the 'door', and was not afraid to talk back to Ferguson, so he bit the right sentence, he only opened the 'door' to next season's coach Ferguson, and only listened to Ferguson's words, an old man who was about to retire couldn't control him.
"It's turned upside down!" Ferguson was angry. "yes, I'm going to turn the hell upside down. What's the matter?!" Yang Fan stiffened his neck and shouted. Until Ferguson left angrily, he was stunned that he couldn't let Yang Fan open the 'door'......
