'Ferguson may be satisfied, his youth team got a point at the Emirates Stadium, the young players did well, and the goal conceded was more a matter of luck. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Gary Lineker summed up the battle of focus that had just ended on the day's "Matchday" - it was the battle of focus, but the result of this game had no effect on Manchester United's title win, but was more important for Arsenal who wanted to stabilize the fourth place.

"Arsene Wenger may not be satisfied because the Gunners couldn't get all three points when they needed it most......," he shook his head as he looked at the result, "but Arsenal are still fourth in the league and five points ahead of fifth-placed Everton because they lost to their opponents. ”

Manchester United players laughed as they watched the on-board TV together on the team bus.

"Will Wenger be satisfied with only fourth?"

Van Persie, who came off the bench in this game, closed his eyes.

But Lineker's words continued to pour into his ears.

"Yo, David," Ferguson's voice came from the front, "I'm still on my way back, can you be louder?" ”

"Shhh Mike Ferran and Muhrensteen hurriedly asked the driver to turn down the volume on the TV, while signaling the players to stop the mockery of Arsenal.

The phone in Ferguson's hand became the only source of sound in the bus: "Alex, he agreed to extend the contract for five years." ”

Everyone's ears pricked up.

The old guy smiled and nodded: "David, this is the best gift you gave me before you left Manchester United." ”

"But he has a request...... "Jill's voice can be heard clearly even by Van Persie five meters away, "he wants you to retire later, Fergie." ”

Van Persie snapped his eyes open!

Damn old man, a year ago, he promised me that I wouldn't retire so soon!

Why else would I want to join Manchester United?!

Ferguson scratched his already white hair: "David, I'm 72 years old, even if I don't retire this year, I ...... next year"

"Then next year, Jazz," Gill interrupted his explanation, "I've given the best contract possible, and I don't want to let all my efforts go down the drain on that last condition." ”

Ferguson was silent for a moment, and then he spoke slowly: "You have to give me time, I'll meet you tomorrow morning." ”

Ferguson, who hung up the phone, realized that there was silence in the bus, and he looked back behind him, and the players, who were young or no longer young, all showed complicated expressions.

"Boss," Van Persie was the first to speak, "I beg you to reconsider your decision to retire, even if only for another year." ”

Ferguson was stunned: "You...... Heard it? ”

"I came to Manchester United for titles and honours," the Dutchman was a little emotional, "but I don't want to come in front of a team that is in turmoil with a mix of old and new!" ”

"Boss," Ryan Giggs looked at Scholes and turned his gaze to his mentor, "although retirement is your personal choice, and as players we shouldn't interfere, but ...... We all want to be able to postpone this choice ......"

Ferguson let out a long sigh: "I obviously haven't talked to anyone about it, why does that damn little guy seem to know everything?" ”

He threw up his hands as if he had been beaten by someone: "I'll think about it, whatever the outcome, I'll tell you before the Champions League game." ”

When I got home, it was almost late at night.

With the faint light outside the door, Ferguson knew his wife was still waiting for him.

"Kathy, I've been saying this for twenty years, there's no need for you to wait here for me." He opened his arms and gently picked up his knotted wife, kissing her wrinkled forehead.

Casey also kissed his cheek, which was a little red from the evening breeze, and then took out a cup from the kitchen: "I warmed the milk for you." ”

"Thanks, baby." Ferguson's eyes were full of warmth.

"I can see you have something to say to me, Alex." Kathy handed the milk to her husband.

It has been 47 years of marriage, but the relationship between the husband and wife has never been estranged, in the eyes of outsiders, the emperor of Manchester United is irritable and cold, and he is a dictator; But who knows that Lord Fu, who returned home, is actually a standard wife?

Ferguson has not told anyone that he will retire in a month's time, except for Glazer, David Gill, his wife and his eldest brother, Martin Ferguson, who has been the club's chief scout for many years.

He decided to retire a few months ago, considering that he was in his seventies, and his energy and health were not as good as before; But more importantly, the death of his wife's twin sister in 2012 had a huge impact on Kessie's spirit, and for the first time in decades, Ferguson, who had only cared about the team, feared death and hoped to spend the rest of his time with his wife.

So he's having a hard time speaking now.

Casey's eyes seemed to be smiling: "You don't want to retire again, do you?" ”

"I can't hide anything from you......" the old man scratched his hair and told his wife what had happened today, "that little guy didn't know where he heard the news, and he wanted me to delay my retirement for a year......"

"What do you think?" Casey asked, peeling an apple.

"I just want to spend more time with you...... "The old man weakly expressed his loyalty to the old woman.

"I'm not old enough to need you to be there for me 24 hours a day." The old woman handed him the cut apple.

Ferguson's eyes seemed to light up: "Do you agree?" ”

Casey's eyes curved slightly: "I'm just worried, if you really retire and lie at home every day to bask in the sun and read the newspaper, will I be annoyed by you......"

The afternoon of April 28, 2013.

Manchester is home to a large number of journalists.

They weren't here to welcome Jose Mourinho and Real Madrid, or to cover the league game that ended yesterday.

They were all summoned on an ad hoc basis by Manchester United's press officer.

Everyone was informed: "There's big news in the afternoon, do you love to come?" ”

Manchester United are having a smooth ride on all fronts, they are the team with the best results this season, and countless media have to rely on Manchester United to make a difference, so they have the confidence to say so.

Samuel Luckhorst, a reporter for the Manchester Evening News, sat down in the front row of the press section, looked at the already crowded venue behind him and couldn't help but whistle.

There were thirty or forty familiar faces he knew, and some of them were not English at first glance......

"Hey, Samuel," someone patted him on the back, "give me a little bit of the news." ”

is a reporter for The Liverpool Echo......

Luckhorst shrugged, "I know the same thing as you, John." ”

After waiting for about half an hour, Manchester United CEO David Gill arrived late, taking the microphone from the press officer's hand and taking a seat in the middle.

"You've been waiting for a long time," Jill didn't have any apologies on his face, "since this news is related to me, I'll release it to you personally." ”

The spotlights in the venue began to flicker.

"Well," he cleared his throat, "due to work reasons, I will officially resign as CEO of Manchester United at the end of the season." ”

The reporters in the audience were dumbfounded.

It's none of our business that you resign?!

How many of those fans, readers, know you?!

Did you call us here to advertise your new job?!

The reporters weren't vegetarians, and they looked as angry as they were about to screw Jill's head off.

"Well, now it's official," Gil, who has been in England for many years, of course knows, and he looked at the reporters in the audience with a smile and snapped his fingers, "Gentlemen, come on." ”

Qin Good, dressed in civilian clothes, walked out side by side with Ferguson and sat on either side of Jill.

The appearance of these two immediately calmed down the originally somewhat restless reporters, and they began to analyze the significance of the press conference.

Don't...... Is Ferguson retiring?

No, the Champions League game is going to start in two days, even if you are a fool, you won't announce it at this time, right?

Thankfully, Jill soon revealed the answer.

"As the CEO of Manchester United, just this morning, I completed my last two signings," Gil looked at Alex Ferguson on his left, "Sir Alex Ferguson, the greatest manager on the planet, has signed a one-year contract extension with the club, and in the 2013-14 season, he will continue to lead Manchester United to European domination!" ”

The reporters were stunned at first, and then some applauded vigorously.

Ferguson smiled and nodded to them: "I was planning to retire to spend time with my family after this season, but my wife thought I was too much of an eyesore at home because I couldn't even do things like watering flowers and laundry detergent other than football and horse racing, so I had to continue working for a year, and I hope you don't think, wow, that pesky old Scottish man is back." ”

The reporters who knew him well laughed good-naturedly.

How could they hate Ferguson?

After Jose Mourinho left Chelsea, Arsene Wenger re-emerged as a suave professor, and Alex Ferguson almost single-handedly propped up the spout work in the Premier League.

No fights, no squirting referees, no questioning of UEFA......

Do you want those unprofessional English tabloid reporters to write research papers every day?

"Is it a 442 or a 433?"

"Which is more important, the wing or the middle?"

"On the change of the traditional defensive midfield."

"A Brief Analysis of the Diversity of Modern Players."

…… Spare them!

Or "Ferguson angrily sprayed the referee on duty as a wrestler", "The king of the Red Devils reappeared in Ferguson time", "Fergue: Rodgers is at the kindergarten level, and no one in Liverpool deserves to lift my shoes" to attract more attention.

The reporters were quick to ask another question: "What about another copy?" ”

"Goode Qin, the new king of Old Trafford, has signed a five-year contract extension with the club!" Gil raised his eyebrows and looked at the reporters in the audience with a smirk, "The liquidated damages set by Manchester United for him are, one billion pounds!" (To be continued.) )
