"Red Dynasty! The first defending champion since the restructuring of the Champions League was born! ”

"Legend turns! Full of honor! Sir Alex Ferguson is officially retired! Tribute to the First Godfather of England! ”

"47 crowns in 28 years! The Red Empire is unmatched! ”

"From Dortmund to Manchester! Chinese God won the Champions League for three consecutive years! ”

"Record Crusher! Shame on Mero's goal king! 73 goals in three seasons broke Raul's Champions League goal record! ”

"The true king of the Red Devils! Step on Real Madrid's ascension to the throne! Step on the banner of Real Madrid and become the king! ”

"Comparable to the old Pele horse! He's already the new ball king on the planet! ”

"Pele: If he can win the World Cup, he will be the undisputed first man in history!"

"Maradona: Qin Gude is the first in the world, I am the second, and Pele is the third. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Bailey: Say it again!"

"Maradona: I'm sorry, I was wrong, Qin Gude is the first in the world, I am second, Messi is third, and Pele is fourth."

"Bailey: As a junior, don't deceive people too much, watch me make a big move...... Argentina is the champion! Argentina will definitely be able to do better than in 2010! ”

Maradona, who was Argentina's head coach in the 2010 World Cup, vomited blood and died: I ...... I'm your uncle!

……

The whole Manchester United team returned from Portugal and celebrated with a huge parade in Manchester, and the whole city was once again dyed a bright and even shocking red.

Although Manchester United have celebrated a little too often in the past two years, so frequent that their city rivals, Manchester City fans, are a little numb...... But as the club's bus slowly drove into the city square, the whole city erupted in cheers like never before.

An achievement like defending the Champions League is a unique glory that even giants like AC Milan, Barcelona and Real Madrid can't achieve, but they enjoy it!

What's more, this is the retirement ceremony of Ferguson, who has played for the team for 28 years!

Old Trafford was packed with Manchester United fans from all over the UK on the afternoon, and the stadium with a capacity of more than 76,000 people was packed with a wave of red.

On this afternoon, the skies over the British Isles were covered in clouds, sometimes windy, sometimes rainy, but this was not a hindrance for the fans and media who were in a hurry.

The ceremony was broadcast live on television stations around the world, and it was a curtain call for a memorable legend.

Facing the fans in the stadium, even if he was as iron-fisted as Ferguson, he couldn't help but choke up at this moment.

There was a large flush on his cheeks that was surging violently, and the few words of thanks had to be interrupted several times due to mood changes.

His wife, Kathy, kept patting him on the back and even whispered, "Or...... Don't retire and work for a few more years, right? ”

Several of their children stood behind them, holding umbrellas for the two elderly men.

The rain poured down from the clouds, and the old man in thin clothes shivered in the cold air.

At the end, Ferguson finally said the words: "It's time to say goodbye, my friends, thank you for coming here to say goodbye to an old Scottish man." I want to thank Manchester United, not just all the coaches, the medical staff and the staff at the club, I want to thank all the Manchester United people! You are the best experience of my Manchester United career! Thank you, thank you very much. ”

Holding the microphone, he waved his hands and bowed deeply to the fans.

Old Trafford had nothing but applause at this moment, and many of the old fans with gray hair like him were already tearful and weeping, and the banners and slogans behind them shook slightly in the wind and rain.

"Alex, we're going to miss you!"

"Sir Alex Ferguson, a legend of 26 years!"

"The best manager in the world forever!"

"Casey, thank you for keeping him with us for so long!"

……

Ferguson looked up at the big and small slogans, or retention, or thanks, or reluctance, or blessing......

He raised the microphone again: "My retirement does not mean the end and departure, I will continue to watch Manchester United play, I will always be with everyone who supports Manchester United!" ”

The applause in the stands was still loud, and it was not weakened by the rain.

"After I leave the manager's position, a new manager will come soon, he is the person you know best, and the person you know most about Manchester United," Ferguson began, "I hope you can continue to support him and give him some patience, just like Alex Ferguson did 28 years ago, thank you!" ”

- Twenty-eight years ago, Ferguson, who had just taken over Manchester United, also experienced three years of darkness, and radical fans would protest at the end of each season with slogans telling him to get out, but fortunately, Ferguson stayed at Manchester United and created an unprecedented red empire for Manchester United.

His successor is unlikely to achieve what he has achieved, given the increasingly competitive Premier League and European football that it is unlikely that a single company will dominate or monopolize the title for years.

Now that you have entered the Warring States era, don't look at you as the Premier League hegemon and the European champion, if you are a little careless, you may be empty in a year!

The craziest era of football has arrived.

Ferguson's curtain call is over, but he did not announce his successor at his farewell ceremony.

In late May, before the World Cup began, the matter became the focus of the whole world's attention.

On 24 May, Manchester United successfully defended their Champions League title at the Stadium of Light.

The next day, the market value of Manchester United's New York-listed stock soared by 5%!

On the third day, when Ferguson announced his official retirement, Manchester United's market value immediately suffered a heavy setback, and almost instantly evaporated $160 million!

Within an hour of Ferguson's retirement, news about the news was mentioned more than 2.4 million times on mainstream social networking sites, compared to just 1 million times within four hours of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's death in 2013.

An hour after Ferguson announced his retirement, the news peaked on Twitter, with 13,000 new tweets per minute. Six of the top 10 trending topics on Twitter are related to Alex Ferguson's retirement.

These figures may reflect the "weak" influence of the old Scottish man on world football......

Just after Alex Ferguson's retirement was officially announced, Manchester United held a press conference on the third day, and almost all of Europe's mainstream media poured into Manchester like sharks smelling blood, just for a press conference that lasted less than 30 minutes.

Manchester United's owner, Glazer Sr., has passed away after a successful Champions League title, and his son Glazer Jr. has gradually taken his place.

It was the first time that Glazer Jr. had attended such a high-profile occasion as the owner of the team, and despite the stormy weather, he was still a little nervous.

He was flanked by the club's CEO, Ed Woodward, several of the club's coaches, and the team's captain, Goodall Chingud.

When the bright but soft lights covered the entire venue, Manchester United's press officer coughed:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I give the floor to Mr Glazer, the President of Manchester United."

At this moment, there was silence in the huge conference hall, as if there was no breathing sound.

Glazer watched the crowd of reporters staring nervously at him, and a small sense of accomplishment felt in his heart.

He is the master of this red empire.

Now, he's going to announce the next man at the helm of the Red Devils. (To be continued.) )
