The period leading up to the new season is often the busiest time for the coaching staff.

Ferguson is no exception.

Over the years, he has delegated all the big and small matters such as club training and day-to-day management to the coaching staff, leaving the assistant coach in charge, and he is in charge of the overall situation, but even so, he still has a lot to do.

For example, the transfer operation in the summer.

Sending away veterans such as Paul Scholes, Gary Neville and Edwin van der Sar in one fell swoop, the Reds were devastated, especially with the Dutch goalkeeper's departure costing the Reds, even if they have not yet found a suitable candidate.

Originally, Ferguson was interested in Chinatown's goalkeeper De Gea, but as a result, the Spaniard preferred to stay in Chinatown, and officially announced the renewal of his contract with Chinatown half a month ago, and everyone could see that he would become the future standard-bearer of Chinatown.

Atletico Madrid, who was also very interested in De Gea, suddenly announced the introduction of a kid named Oblak from the Portuguese Super League, Marca reported that this player belongs to Mendes, so needless to say, it must be Gao Han's recommendation to Atletico Madrid, in exchange for the promise that the Sheets Army will not poach De Gea.

Every time he thought of this, Ferguson was full of resentment, he really wanted to ask Gao Han, why is he so confident?

Does Gao Han really think that Manchester United can't dig De Gea?

But there is no way, it turns out that it really can't be dug up.

The goalkeeper's heart disease makes Ferguson like a fish in the throat, and can only let the scouting team continue to contact, there are currently three targets locked, one is Manchester City's backup goalkeeper Joe Hart, the goalkeeper who is not reused under Gao Han, in Ferguson's opinion, is still very powerful, and is a local international, with great potential, but it is not easy to convince the sworn enemy in the same city.

There is also a goalkeeper Hugo Lloris who plays for Lyon, Lyon is a well-known black shop, but it has been hacked as much as Chinatown in the past two years, so the public resentment is slightly lighter, but it is not easy to poach people from Olas.

The last one is Thibaut Courtois, who plays for Genk in Belgium, but the Belgian youngster is only 19 years old and has an uncertain future, and it is said that Chelsea are also in full swing to bring in the young goalkeeper, and the competition pressure is not small.

The goalkeeper is a problem, and so is the center-back recruitment.

Phil Jones is not a player of his age that Ferguson has relied on, and Rio Ferdinand's situation has forced him to bring in reinforcements at the back, with two targets currently on target, one being Benfica's Brazilian centre-back David Luiz.

The player almost joined Chelsea six months ago, and Scolari was very optimistic about him, but Roman Abramovich urgently halted the transfer deal, and it is said that Villas-Boas is also very optimistic about David Luiz after taking over and is in full swing to bring him in.

The other is Alderweireld in Chinatown.

The Belgian centre-back is smart, and he is very calm, and he has a good ability to play the ball, which is a good complement to Otamendi, and if he can come to Manchester United, he will be a very good combination with Pepe, but Chinatown announced early that the Belgian centre-back is not for sale.

Every time he heard such an argument, Ferguson wanted to scold his mother.

Isn't it just that you want a higher transfer fee when you go to a special non-sale?

I...... I'll talk to you slowly, can't you?

And the forward line is Ferguson's biggest knot in recent years.

Missing Benzema two years ago and bringing in Berbatov, Ferguson can be said to regret it to this day, especially watching Benzema's highlight performance in Manchester City, the old jazz can't wait to travel back and slap himself a few times.

Just for those millions, as far as it's concerned?

But how can there be regrets in this world?

So this time, Ferguson directly targeted Van Persie's number one recruitment.

Manchester United's scouting team has also made sufficient preparations, specially arranged personnel to spy on Van Persie's situation, and his younger brother Martin personally went to the Netherlands to contact Van Persie, and confirmed that the Dutch center forward is in good physical condition and has recovered from his injury.

The only tricky thing is how to convince Arsenal and how high the transfer fee is.

Fortunately, it's only July, and there is still more than a month to talk slowly.

I don't believe it can't be discussed!

Ferguson smiled proudly at this point, he knew Arsenal's situation well.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the office door from the outside.

"Come in. ”

The one who opened the door and came in was his younger brother Martin Ferguson.

"Just received the latest news. Martin Ferguson walked up to Ferguson at a brisk pace and said breathlessly, "Chelsea's centre-forward Didier Drogba is sure to move to Paris Saint-Germain. ”

"What?" Ferguson's brow immediately furrowed.

Drogba was clamoring for a transfer, which started a few months ago, when Drogba wanted more opportunities to play, and it is said that he had been in contact with Marseille in Ligue 1, and Marseille also asked Chelsea for this, and the Blues offered 20 million euros, which scared Marseille off, and no one has dared to ask for it again.

"Yes, Paris Saint-Germain has basically negotiated the transfer of Drogba with Chelsea, and it is said that Drogba personally expressed his intention to Chelsea management that he wants to go to Paris Saint-Germain, and finally the two sides negotiated the conditions, 15 million euros. ”

Ferguson's brow furrowed, he thought something was strange about it.

Paris Saint-Germain have just brought in AC Milan veteran Andrea Pirlo and now they are bringing in Didier Drogba, what is this about?

Could it be that the Qatari consortium is going to be a superstar collection station?

"Is it ......," Ferguson immediately stood up from his seat, "...... Cold!"

Martin Ferguson nodded and said: "Yes, it is very likely, it has spread throughout France, it is said that Gao Han is going to coach Paris Saint-Germain, but it is only rumored by the media and fans, and no one has confirmed it to the outside world." ”

Ferguson couldn't help but recall one thing, he still clearly remembered that Gao Han once told him that he hoped to win the Grand Slam of the five major leagues, and now La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Premier League have all been won, and he is just one Ligue 1 away.

With the character of a cold Virgo, it is really possible to coach Paris Saint-Germain, and only Paris Saint-Germain in the entire Ligue 1 is barely worthy of the cold.

But why Drogba?

"Didier Drogba is 33 years old, and if I'm not mistaken, he should be back playing the Africa Cup of Nations in January, right?" Ferguson thought it was unusual because the Africa Cup of Nations would be away for at least a month or two.

"Yes, yes, it's true that I'm going back to play the Africa Cup of Nations. Martin Ferguson confirmed.

Ferguson nodded slightly, "Then it is obvious that Drogba is not the center forward that Gao Han relies on, or not the only center forward, but with Gao Han's coaching characteristics, it is the ...... that best fits his tactical philosophy and thinking."

The two Ferguson brothers are both people who know Gao Han very well, and when it comes to this, the answer is likely to be forthcoming.

'I'll call Arsene Wenger right away. Ferguson slapped the table hard, "Martin, you go and inform the management immediately, make all preparations, I want to finalize the transfer of Van Persie with Arsenal as soon as possible." ”

…………

Drogba's move from Chelsea to Paris Saint-Germain for 15 million euros quickly attracted a lot of attention in European football.

The transfer of superstars is often a one-shot move on the whole body.

Striker Nene who just transferred from Monaco for 9 million euros a year ago successfully switched to Marseille, which is in desperate need of strikers, in exchange for Spanish defender Azpilicueta in the Marseille team, and the two players completed the swap.

Nene was the top scorer of Paris Saint-Germain last season and a well-known scorer in Ligue 1, scoring 14 goals in Ligue 1 in two consecutive seasons, and his strength won everyone's unanimous affirmation, and the two wings he formed with Giuli are also the most threatening attacking means of Paris Saint-Germain.

On the other hand, Azpilicueta's performance after switching from Osasuna to Marseille was not ideal, and he was out of action for half a year due to a serious injury, which caused everyone, including Marseille, to be full of worries about Azpilicueta's future.

Paris Saint-Germain switched forwards to defenders, a move that left everyone scratching their heads.

Just a day later, Paris Saint-Germain once again convened the media to announce the transfer of midfielder Cabaye from Lille, who was responsible for Lille's Ligue 1 triumph last season, for 5 million euros.

But whether it is Andrea Pirlo, Didier Drogba, Cesar Azpilicueta, or Cabaye, it is clear that they cannot satisfy everyone's serious PSG image of a tycoon, because these players have not spent much money at all.

But just when everyone was wondering, Paris Saint-Germain finally completed a transfer that matched their identity.

For 45 million euros, Argentine international Javier Pastore, who plays for Palermo in Serie A, has officially moved to Paris Saint-Germain, and the 22-year-old is hailed as the most talented future superstar in football today.

Antro Enrique also said that the signing of Pastore is an exciting transfer and represents the direction of Paris Saint-Germain's business, and he firmly believes that Pastore will continue to grow and improve at Paris Saint-Germain.

But just when everyone was still basking in the shock brought by Pastore, the news came from the Premier League again.

Manchester United has finally completed the transfer of Robin van Persie!

Ferguson personally called Arsene Wenger, and the two rivals finally finalized the transfer on the phone, and Van Persie will officially transfer from Arsenal to Manchester United for a sky-high price of 50 million euros.

This is another shocking superstar transfer after Cesc Fabregas, and everyone is shocked.

Van Persie has been in impressive form since his return from the winter break last season, winning the hearts of all fans with 18 league goals, while also making a name for himself once again as a European star, but Van Persie has been plagued by injuries over the past few years.

Speaking to MUTV, Ferguson said the club's move to bring in Robin van Persie was deliberate.

'There's no doubt that Robin is one of the top centre-forwards in Europe and as far as I know, he's in the best physical condition of his career, so we all think he's fit enough to fit under the competitive pressure of the Premier League and he's capable of giving us a steady stream of goals. ”

Ferguson also vaguely mentioned that the European transfer market has become more competitive this season, and in order to get more quality stars, they often have to pay more price, so he believes that with Van Persie and Arsenal still on his two-year contract, bringing in a Dutch centre-forward for 50 million euros is a good deal.

The Manchester United boss also said in an interview that Manchester United will also bring in reinforcements in the two positions of backline and goalkeeper in the future.

"The high price for Van Persie represents the ambition of the club. ”

But the good times didn't last long, just after Manchester United announced the introduction of Van Persie at a high price of 50 million euros that tied Fabregas's transfer record, Paris Saint-Germain soon announced that it would bring in Brazilian international David Luiz from Benfica at a high price of 30 million euros.

Speaking to Portuguese media, David Luiz's agent, Mendes, publicly acknowledged the transfer.

And this has once again triggered a chain reaction in the European transfer market.
