When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the stadium was filled with the exact opposite of what it had been at the end of the first half.

The Manchester United players, who had led the first half, were all frustrated with their faces now, but it was the Manchester City players, all elated and dancing, led by captain Xavi Alonso, who rushed up to the chairman's stand.

Ferguson sat in the dugout, still chewing gum habitually.

Ferguson doesn't remember exactly when it was put in his mouth, only that it had been too long, not only was it dull and tasteless, but he had a nauseating urge, but he still chewed hard.

He found that at this moment, there was not much he could do, and all he could control was to continue to force himself to chew gum.

His hands and feet were still trembling slightly, which was the excitement of the game just now.

With less than 10 minutes to go before the draw with Manchester City, for Alex Ferguson, it was a difference between heaven and hell.

He failed again!

Compared with Gao Han's previous surprise command, Gao Han's every move in this game, and even his every on-the-spot command, Ferguson can see clearly and clearly, but he still has no way to prevent the loss.

As much as he hates to admit it, he knows why.

Finally, he got up from the dugout and walked to the sidelines.

One by one, the United players stepped off the pitch and Ferguson greeted them.

'It's okay, it's a good one-two scoreline, there's an away goal and we still have a chance. ”

"Cheer up, guys, we're not at the point of despair. ”

"Don't do that, the opponent will look down on us and raise their heads. ”

Ferguson's encouragement got the United players in high spirits, and some even raised their hands above their heads to applaud the United fans in the stands for their support.

But from between their eyebrows, there is still a lingering sense of loss and frustration.

They were only 10 minutes away from victory, 10 minutes away from creating a legend, but in the end they still lost.

They have given their best in this game, and it can even be said that they played at their highest level, but in front of Manchester City, they still lost badly, so why should they be embarrassed?

To be able to play for Manchester United, every one of the most famous stars in European football today, who wants to accept that they are not as good as others?

One by one, Ferguson sent his players into the tunnel, and when he turned around, he saw Gao Han also walking towards the visiting team's dugout, shaking hands with Manchester United's coaching staff one by one along the way.

They are all in the same city, they are no strangers to each other, and everyone knows that Gao Han and Ferguson have a close personal relationship.

What's more, they lost this game convincingly.

What else can they say when they are leading for most of the game, being equalized by their opponents, or even reversed?

"How do you feel?" asked Gao Han as he walked over to Ferguson's side and smiled.

Ferguson pursed his lips and snorted twice, "What else?" ”

"You seem to be upset. Gao Han smiled again.

"Nonsense, it's you, are you cool?" Ferguson shot back.

Gao Han smiled faintly and didn't say anything more.

In his opinion, if Ferguson loses, then he should have a little demeanor, and it is normal to be hit by him for a few words, it is impossible to win the ball and be disgusting, so don't make this friend.

"Eh, I want to ask you something. Ferguson asked suddenly.

"Well, you ask. Gao Han thought he was going to ask about something at the tactical level, but he was very reasonable.

He didn't use the skill card from beginning to end of this game, and he relied on his real level to coach, so he is very confident now, and he is not afraid of any questions asked by Ferguson, and he is sure to answer.

But Ferguson's problems clearly have little to do with the game.

"Did you really decide to leave Manchester City after winning the Champions League?"

Gao Han raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by this question, "What do you mean?"

"Just ask and find out what your career plans are. ”

Gao Han glanced at Ferguson deeply and nodded, "It should be." ”

After a pause, he sighed and continued: "To be honest, in the past two years, I have found more and more that I am more and more unable to balance the two paths of Chinatown and coaching. ”

Ferguson understands this.

Gao Han is the owner of Chinatown, although Armando Marcos has been appointed as the general manager and Carlos Cantarero as the technical director, but in fact, there are still a lot of things that he needs to worry about and handle, especially Chinatown is now in the top position of La Liga and is in the stage of rapid development, so there are more things.

As the head coach of Europe's top league, Ferguson also knows very well that Gao Han has a lot to worry about when he coaches Manchester City, from the first team's games and training, to the construction and planning of the urban training base, all of which have to go through his hands.

These two jobs are put on one person casually, they are all busy, but Gao Han wants one person to work two jobs and pick up two burdens, the pressure is indeed difficult to be understood by outsiders, and it is normal to be more and more over-minded and insufficient.

Especially the incident that the media hyped up the conflict of interest before, the impact on Gao Han is not small.

As a head coach, Gao Han can be said to have won almost all the honors that a manager can get, he is not only active, but even the greatest and best head coach of all time.

Not only himself, but his philosophy of football has influenced countless managers, such as Heynckes, Aragonés, Pep Guardiola, Mauricio Pochettino, Unai Emery, Simeone, Jurgen Klopp, Thomas Tuchel, Prandelli and ......

Countless European marshals have said in public that they have benefited a lot from Gao Han.

On the road of coaching, Gao Han can almost be said to be unable to advance, but as the owner of Chinatown, he has invested a lot of effort and emotion in this team, and he has made great achievements in this aspect.

"Are you going to retire?" Ferguson asked suddenly.

He would think so, Gao Han was not surprised, and smiled slightly: "I don't know, there are still some wishes unfulfilled." ”

"What wishes?" Ferguson wondered.

'I would like to have the opportunity to coach Ligue 1. ”

"Ligue 1?" Ferguson was taken aback, as if he had heard something very ridiculous and funny, "you are going to coach Ligue 1?"

"Didn't I tell you? Gao Han reminded.

"With your annual salary, who can afford to hire you in the Ligue 1 team? Besides, at the level of Ligue 1, you won't kill all sides if you go......" Ferguson suddenly laughed halfway through his words.

"I understand, I understand, you want the Grand Slam of the five major leagues, you really ...... this complex"

How so?

It's speechless!

Gao Han smiled, and didn't deny it, just think this was a bad taste of his.

"That'...... When you're done with the Ligue 1 team, you're going to take the national team?" asked Ferguson with a smile.

"You can think about it, but if I take the national team, I will only bring one team. ”

Gao Han looked at Ferguson and smiled confidently: "That's my motherland, China." ”

"It's too weak, isn't it? You can't even play in the World Cup, and you're willing?" Ferguson said bluntly.

If you just want to win the World Cup, as Gao Han, you can coach the world's strongest teams, wouldn't it be easier?

Gao Han nodded, "It's true that he's very weak, and the management system is terrible, but everything is improving, and I hope that one day I can personally bring him to the ranks of the world's top teams." ”

Ferguson stopped joking, and he realized that Gao Han was telling the truth, "It's too hard, isn't it?"

"Maybe, we have a population of more than one billion people in China, there is no shortage of football talents, not to mention the rest, in my youth training center has gathered a group of young talents with considerable potential, and this is only my first youth training center, in the future I will open a second, third, or even more, for my motherland to cultivate more football talents. ”

"It's a long road, but it's challenging, don't you think?"

After Gao Han finished speaking, he smiled lightly, but in Ferguson's opinion, this smile was extremely heavy.

He can't understand Gao Han's feelings, just as he can't understand that many players from Africa and South America have come to Europe since they were children, and after working hard to earn money, they have to run back to their home countries to do charity.

But he understands that everyone's choice should be respected.

"If I have the chance, I'd like to go to your academy and see the football talents you're talking about. ”

"There's a chance. Gao Han nodded.

His words were definitely not just casual words, but his heartfelt voice.

Moreover, he is also full of confidence in the group of children in the Chinatown Youth Training Center in Daxing, Beijing.

The time is not yet ripe, so there is no way to bring them to Europe, but every year we organize a lot of exchange competitions to bring them out and bring in, so that they can compete with their peers at the world's advanced level, understand their position, and increase their experience in the competition.

Such a youth training center can't make money at all, so over the years, Gao Han has not left much money himself, and he plans to invest it all.

Chinatown is his hope!

When the time is ripe in the future, he hopes that this group of children can come to Europe, gain a firm foothold in the European league, and improve their own strength level to raise their eyebrows for Chinese football.

"By the way, don't talk about me, what do you mean by asking me so much?" Gao Han pulled away from his thoughts and suddenly asked curiously.

Ferguson laughed when he heard this, "It's very simple, if you really win the Champions League and have to leave Manchester City, then I have to make a fuss with the old men in the management, fight for more chips, bring in one or two high-level players, and a strong team squad." ”

Gao Han suddenly remembered at this time that Ferguson had also reached the age of retirement.

In the past few years, there has been news that Alex Ferguson will retire almost every year, but this old man has been dominating the position of Manchester United, and in the final analysis, he is still unwilling.

He was hoping to win a second Champions League title and another Premier League title, before retiring with honor.

This should be the last wish of the old Scottish man who has dedicated his life to football.

Also thinking this is Aragonés, who also brought Spain to the top and then retired with honor.

"Isn't this too difficult?" Gao Han gave him back what Ferguson had just said.

Ferguson laughed when he heard it, of course he knew that it would not be easy, but he also had his own persistence and persistence.

"But it's very challenging, don't you think?" Ferguson also returned the words, and then looked at Gao Han with malicious intentions and said: "Besides, if it really doesn't work, I'll dig into your corner." ”

"Do you really want Michu?" Gao Han was slightly surprised.

This is a rumor in the media, Gao Han has always thought it was a miscommunication, after all, most of the European giants are related to Mi Chu, who believes it?

"No, no, no. Ferguson was quick to refute the rumors, "Michu is indeed an interesting player, but I don't have that patience anymore, I want a player who can help us improve our competitiveness in a short period of time." ”

After hearing this, Gao Han was relieved and nodded: "Then I wish you good luck." ”

"You too. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, shook hands, and turned to leave.
