4. The legacy of the Red Devils

"Ferguson personally helped the Chinese God ascend the throne!"

"The red flag flies over Wembley!"

"Hat-trick! Two assists! Manchester United's new captain's debut results! ”

"Swallow six eggs! Blue Moon is a failure! Chilean engineer's face is pale! ”

"Van Persie: Fantastic start! I love Captain Goode! ”

"Rooney: Captain Goode is great!"

"Vidic: We have the quality to beat anyone!"

'David De Gea: Who are the strikers for Manchester City today?'

'Alex Ferguson: The Wembley coach's bench was still so comfortable, I almost fell asleep. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

……

Only The Sun, which has always been a bad deal with Manchester United, published an "in-depth analysis report".

"When the season started, everybody would say that their team was united and their goal was to win the title. But as long as there is a slight fluctuation in the team's results, there will be different voices in the dressing room, which has been proven countless times by history......

Vidic is getting old after all and he may not have much thought about the new captain, but is the 28-year-old really willing to step down? He is the leader of England's players, will he submit to an outsider from China? ”

"Ferguson is really old, he actually pinned his hopes on the future of Manchester United on a Chinese......"

"The Community Shield has always had a curse: teams that win the Community Shield rarely win the final league title in the following season, and Ferguson's side stepped into a swamp from the start......

They also cited Inter Milan after the treble in 2010, Barcelona after the six-time crown and Real Madrid last season as negative teaching materials: "No matter which team, when they have experienced the peak and glory, those players will temporarily lose the motivation to pursue glory, and they will be more distracted by other things: new contracts, higher weekly salaries and bonuses, more commercial endorsements, status and voice in the dressing room, Appearances for the national team and so on......"

"Even the likes of Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho can't keep their team's dressing room in the corner forever, and Ferguson, despite his seniority, has always had a bad tradition of dealing with big players, and he believes in a unique traditional paternalistic iron fist, think Keane and Beckham......

Keane, the former captain of Manchester United, was sent into the cold by the manager for publicly questioning Ferguson's decision, and was swept away at the end of the season and has been wandering ever since; And Beckham, who was in full swing at the time, was also kicked by Ferguson because of the scandal with Real Madrid, and his eyebrow bone was cracked and blood flowed......

Alex Ferguson has always allowed only one absolute leader in the team, and that is himself.

At this point, no one can argue with the Sun's article.

But Ferguson and Qin Goode did not bother to respond positively to the doubts of this unscrupulous gossip tabloid: because that would only bring more exposure and attention to The Sun......

After returning to Manchester with the Community Shield trophy, Manchester United hosted a small celebration at Old Trafford.

Antoine Griezmann, N'Golo Kante, Otamendi, Bellerin, Shaw and other new signings also officially met with the fans at the event - their status and status are certainly not enough for United to hold a personal meeting.

Meanwhile, Ferguson announced several things on behalf of the club:

Paul Scholes, who retired for the second time three months ago, has joined Manchester United's first-team coaching staff as a trainee coach.

2. "Heartthrob" David Beckham became the global ambassador of Manchester United Club.

3. Nicky Bhatt, one of the members of the Class of '92 (who was originally an academy coach), is the director of the academy and is responsible for the training of young players below the Under-21 level.

4. Gary Neville, a former Manchester United captain, a famous football commentator, and nicknamed "Nevenhao" by Chinese fans, became the head coach of Manchester United's reserve team.

5. Ryan Giggs, as a first-team player, also serves as a coach, and joins the coaching staff to participate in part of the work.

United's move was of course welcomed by the fans, as these familiar names are their favourite players, and all of them are former loyalists of the club.

But this almost collective recall of the 92 class has once again attracted criticism for the club.

'Yes, as players they are all very good, but not every player can be a good coach, and there are not many examples like Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola. Liverpool king Kenny Dalglish was the first to jump out and say that he was not at all optimistic about Ferguson's decision, "Sir Alex wants to hand over his team to his own people, but be careful that it will ruin Manchester United!" Of course, I'd love to see something like that. ”

"Ferguson is crazy!" The Sun certainly won't let go of such an opportunity, "Paul Scholes won't even accept media interviews close to Manchester United, so low-key that he almost wants to disappear from this world, can you expect him to mentor the arrogant post-90s?" ”

"What else would Gary Neville do besides BB on TV? He is the best example of a soldier on paper! ”

"Giggs? Is Ferguson worried that he won't be able to find a job when he retires? He can't even handle his own family relationships, do you want him to go to the players' homes to comfort their beautiful wives and girlfriends? ”

Best, they came to the conclusion: "If you're a fan of the other 19 teams in the Premier League, you're going to see a good show in the rest of the 2013-14 season...... How the greatest and most legendary manager in the history of English football will usher in the end of his own wisdom! How an invincible division fell apart under the blind command of the head coach! ”

While public opinion is all the rage about Manchester United's moves, Ferguson is in his office in a meeting with his coaching staff.

"Needless to say, this is my last season in charge of Manchester United," he said for the first time to his fellow coaches, "you don't need to convince me, I'm 72 years old and sometimes I forget the tactical details that I've arranged, and Manchester United need a young leader." ”

McPheran and Mullenstin were both a bit uneasy on both days: they had long been Ferguson's right-hand man and had a certain influence at Manchester United, while in English football, when the head coach leaves, the assistant manager is often the club's first choice. Of course, because United haven't changed managers in 27 years, this rule may not apply, but ...... They are still the most popular candidates to get the job.

"I was reminded that I should pick a qualified successor for me and for Manchester United this season," Ferguson said unhurriedly, "Some people recommend Mourinho, some mention Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp, others say Carlo Ancelotti, Antonio Conte, Capello, Deschamps, and even Pochettino, Villas-Boas, David Moyes, Koeman...... I'm sure anyone who is an enterprising coach wants to get this job, doesn't he, Rene? ”

Mulensteen didn't expect to call his name, he was slightly stunned, and then nodded: "Yes, sir, I want it too." ”

For the first time, the Dutch coach has shown his ambition to be a manager, but no one laughs at him for being self-conscious, because everyone else is like him.

"Very well," Ferguson nodded, "I thought about it for a while and asked for advice from the rest of the club, and the Glazer family will respect me 100 per cent on this issue, so I decided to pick a successor from within the coaching staff and Manchester United should be passed on in their own hands." That's right, it's all five of you: Mike, Rene, Ryan, Paul, and Gary. ”

The old fellow's gaze slowly swept over the faces of these assistants, and he saw five different expressions.

"Oh no, boss, I'm not fit to be the head coach of the team." Scholes barely hesitated, waving his hand repeatedly, "Can you imagine me fighting those reporters for 300 rounds at the press conference?" I'm going to be humiliated to death by them......"

Giggs was the first to laugh, and the others let out a good-natured laugh, because they all knew Gingerhead's personality, and he didn't know how to deal with the media at all.

Ferguson also smiled slightly: "Paul, you don't need to rush to refuse, no one will be exactly the same as me, and I am not looking for Ferguson second for Manchester United." The club and I will pay special attention to each and every one of you in the coming season, and I will selectively let you lead the team individually, from the selection of the squad, the tactical arrangement, to the on-the-spot command, midfield calling, substitution adjustments, and even the pre-match and post-match press conferences, it is up to you to decide. ”

Everyone was taken aback.

"You heard me right, and I'm not kidding," Ferguson said, shaking his fingers, "I'm going to give each of the four of you a chance to play at least five games apart from Gary, and it's a fair contest that ends with the new manager of Manchester United, and you'll be competing all season." Paul, do you still want to quit? ”

Scholes stared blankly at his mentor, who had coached him for nearly 20 years, and finally shook his head: "I want to try, sir." ”

"Good." Ferguson patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, "I led the team in the first few rounds of the league, you can rest assured, I will not hand over a Manchester United that has lost consecutive games to you." ”

When they left the head coach's office, the five people seemed to have a fighting spirit in their bodies.

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, Ferguson's eyes fell on the young man on the training ground who was still training himself.

"Intra-squad competition...... This little guy gave me a piece of advice. He grinned slightly, "This season, there is indeed a good show to watch." ”
