――――――――――――
In the middle of the night, Ferguson poured a glass of wine and sat on the sofa in a daze.
"Jingle bell!"
The lord looked at the phone and answered, "Hey, Wayne." ”
Rooney spoke eagerly: "Sir, I'm at your door." With that, Ding Dong rang the doorbell.
Ferguson was surprised, and was about to make a phone call with a smile, but they all arrived at the door, so he opened the door with a straight face: "It's so late, why are you doing?" ”
Rooney grabbed Ferguson's arms: "Sir, you want to retire?" ”
"It's not retirement, it's retirement, I've been retired for a long time."
Rooney was about to say something, but Ferguson pointed upstairs: "Madame Sir has ordered that no football is allowed at home." ”
The deflated Lu Lao Pang was silent for a moment: "Has Zero decided?" ”
"It's decided."
The next morning, all the newspapers and magazines on the streets of England carried a large picture of Ferguson on the front page, which read: "Countdown to retirement, last season of the lord." ”
Sir Alex Ferguson was born on 31 December 1941 in Glasgow, Scotland. As a player, he played as a striker and played for Dunfermline and Rangers. He began his coaching career in June 1974 and has coached East Stirling County and Aberdeen, leading Aberdeen to the European Cup Winners' Cup. On 6 November 1986, Alex Ferguson took over from Atkinson in charge of Manchester United. During his nearly 25 years in charge of Manchester United, he led the team to 35 trophies, including 13 Premier League titles and one UEFA Champions League, and played 1,350 games in charge, leading the team to an unprecedented treble in 1999. For his contribution to English football, he was knighted by the British royal family at Buckingham Palace in 1999. On the night of May 5, 2011, Manchester United officially announced that manager Alex Ferguson would retire at the end of the 10/11 season after 24 years at the helm.
In the streets and alleys, everyone sang about the greatness of Ferguson.
When Wang Zhen got up early in the morning and saw the news, the first reaction was not to believe it, and the second reaction was bad.
First, Ferguson retired early, which Wang Zhen did not expect.
Second, Ferguson knew that Manchester United would have no chance of winning the Champions League in the following season, and the only purpose of retiring at this time was to stimulate Manchester United players to compete with Liverpool for the Champions League title.
Alex Ferguson's life was undoubtedly great, but his journey to the Champions League has not been smooth.
In the Cantona era, there was no chance with the Champions League, and in the era of the 92 class, the Champions League championship was the beginning of the legend, and it ended dismal with several master-apprentice rebellions.
In the era of Rooney's double stars, Ronaldo fled gloomily, and Rooney was unable to support himself.
He doesn't want to end his career with a Champions League title?
At the same time, most of the stars and coaches throughout the football world have been interviewed by the media.
Interviews and evaluations vary.
Sir Bobby Charlton said: "I owe it to Alex, who is at the centre of everything, he is the soul of Manchester United, there is no one to replace him and I want him to continue to coach. ”
Jose Mourinho: "Sir Alex is the unrivalled manager in the history of Manchester United, the unrivalled manager in the history of English football, the unrivalled manager in the history of European football."
FIFA President Sepp Blatter said: "There is no doubt that his achievements are enough to make him one of the greats of world football. ”
UEFA president Michel Platini commented: "Ferguson was a visionary; His contribution to football is felt throughout Europe. ”
England manager Roy Hodgson said it was "a sad day for English football". "This marks the end of an era in the role of football coach," he said. His achievements, his passion for football, his support for colleagues in need, and his knack for managing teams are unique. ”
Ferguson's good friend Kirbyshley commented: "He's the godfather of the Premier League. ”
The media also interviewed people in Liverpool.
Liverpool Kings No. 1 Dalglish said: "Good players, great coaches, nasty opponents. I'm not going to be compelled by his retirement, and if anyone at Liverpool thinks that way, I'll announce that I'll be retiring at the end of the season. ”
Liverpool King No. 2 Wang Zhen: "Ferguson is great, but Liverpool will always be Manchester United's opponent, we will not feel sorry for him, his career is great enough, no one needs to feel sorry, we will not be happy about it, because after he leaves, Manchester United is still our opponent, and nothing will change." If I had to find any meaning, I could have told you that Lord Alex Ferguson's great life would have ended in a defeat in the last game. ”
Can you expect the people of Liverpool to say good things about the people of Manchester United?
The two sides have been taunting each other for many years, and Liverpool did not take Manchester United seriously in the past, until the number of titles in recent years has caught up, and Liverpool has begun to pay attention to this opponent.
Rooney spoke angrily: "Wang Zhen is extremely disrespectful to Lord Ferguson. ”
Wang Zhen choked back: "If waterproofing to let the lord win is respect, then okay, I can only disrespect." ”
Just kidding, would a great coach be willing to accept the gift of a champion from the mercy of his opponent? What's more, Ferguson has considered Liverpool his enemy all his life.
Ferguson's purpose was achieved, he provoked the fire in the hearts of the players, the fire in the hearts of the fans.
Ferguson is going to launch, one last time, in the face of Liverpool's attack.
Liverpool won the title early, and Manchester United had no desire in the league.
Manchester United have waited at Wembley, before the final.
Liverpool still have another hurdle to overcome from Wembley in order to reach the final against Alex Ferguson and Manchester United.
That's the FA Cup.
On 10 May, we play Fulham away in the 36th round of the league and the last game before the FA Cup final.
14 May, FA Cup final, against Stoke City, Wembley.
On May 15, the 37th round of the league, at home, playing Tottenham, Wang Zhen was at Liverpool's last home game, and he may not appear.
On May 22, the final round of the league, away to Aston Villa.
May 29, Wembley Stadium, Champions League final, Liverpool vs Manchester United!
Sir Alex Ferguson announced his retirement: "I've been a coach for decades, and if it weren't for the media, I would have lost track of how long it was. I'm not tired of football, but I need a retirement as the end of my life instead of dying on the football pitch. Over the years, I have seen many departed seniors, coaches who are older than me but still passionate, talented juniors, and generations of football superstars. I'm glad I've been part of it, I've caught up with the times, and I'm glad that so much media attention has been on my retirement announcement today, which proves that I've had a successful career, I've won every title I deserve, I've brought every kind of player, I've met every kind of opponent. I've been watching the game with a pacemaker since '04, my heart isn't nuclear-powered, and I should be resting. I'm looking forward to seeing what it's like to be a regular fan to watch Manchester United play. I am who I am, and most of my life has to do with football, but there is a small part of it that should belong to me, goodbye, lovely friends, nasty opponents. ”
Manchester United's dynasty came to an abrupt end.
How delicate the country is, who can be arrogant?
