Chapter 436: The Second Meeting with Ferguson
This is Jester with Alex. Alex Ferguson's second meeting with the legendary manager in Manchester United's history.
Of course, Ferguson is far from a legend now.
However, judging from his current appearance, at least this meeting, the Manchester United manager looks much better, which is also certain, Manchester United was in the relegation zone at that time, and now Manchester United has returned to the echelon of the championship.
They also won a cup competition, although the League Cup was not taken seriously.
"Thank you for your support, Mr. Lee."
Ferguson said very sincerely, his face was full of red light, he finally did not disappoint Jester's original credit, Jester also nodded, nothing said, but with a smile on his face, in the eyes of outsiders, he should be satisfied.
"Tonight's game ......"
Seeing Jester ask about tonight's game against Liverpool, Ferguson's face was full of confidence, and when he said it, his tone was categorical, and he even clenched his fists hard to show his confidence, which was definitely not pretended.
"We're going to win!"
Hearing this, Jester didn't react yet, but Claudia was a little dissatisfied, she is in the UK all the year round, and she is also a football fan, although the team she supports is not Manchester United, she frowned a little dissatisfied, and said: "Mr. Ferguson, you know, your next opponent is the current leader, although we just beat them in the League Cup, but it is only the League Cup, the championship of an inconsequential event, and our opponent, Liverpool are now 10 points higher than us in the league! ”
Jester was actually a little dissatisfied with Claudia's sudden opening, because he knew how great the coach in front of him would be in the future, but Claudia didn't know this, and Jester didn't really care about winning or losing this game.
Even if he loses, as long as he trusts Ferguson and gives him all the support he can, then in the future, Manchester United will inevitably become the greatest club in the world, and Liverpool will eventually be kicked off the throne.
Hearing his boss's girlfriend's question, Ferguson was still a little embarrassed, saying that it was embarrassing or a better way to say, in fact, it was anger, but Ferguson also knew that he was far from being qualified to be more serious with his boss, he was not the champion coach in Aberdeen now, he was just a manager who had just secured the position at Manchester United.
Before he could speak, Jester was the first to speak.
"I believe in Alex immensely. Mr. Alex Ferguson's judgment of the team, as I said when I handed over the team to you, I expect you to be the legendary coach and I will be the legendary chairman. Jester paused slightly, and then said another in a very mysterious tone. Ferguson was flattered in an instant.
"I believe that when you look back on your years at Manchester United decades from now, you will be able to accomplish as much as Matt. Sir Busby is on par. ”
As he spoke, Jester also pointed out with his hand, which was the interior of Old Trafford, and the direction Jester pointed to was the direction of the main entrance of Old Trafford: "I promise you that within ten years, you will definitely be able to lead the current Manchester United to the European Championship trophy, and at that time, I will be there, erect a bronze statue for you, so that you will forever become a symbol of Manchester United." ”
Jester's tone was very indifferent when he said this, but in Alex. In Ferguson's ears, there was indeed a thunderclap.
"Bronze statue!"
Now in Alex. Ferguson's mind was full of the word - to erect a bronze statue of me before the main entrance of Old Trafford! And he also said that I can lead Manchester United to the European Cup? God, how is this possible!
It's no wonder that Ferguson doesn't believe it, it's not ten years ago, Nottingham Forest, Alaston Villa can win the European Champions League, and the League One teams can sweep Europe, since the ban began four years ago, English football has been far behind the European continent.
Alex Ferguson is a manager and a very good manager, and he knows that very well.
He now knows exactly how far apart they are from the real European powerhouses.
However, when he heard Jester's words, after the shock and disbelief at first, a fire immediately ignited in his heart - why not? I can beat Real Madrid in Aberdeen and win the UEFA Super Cup!
Why can't it be in League One? Not to mention Manchester United!
Jester himself knows that it is too early to say this, and the current Manchester United cannot even dominate the English League, let alone dominate Europe, but in Jester's view, in the original history, Manchester United only got Matt in 99. Buster's first European Champions Cup trophy after Buster is still too far away.
After ninety-four years, in fact, Manchester United has the strength to compete for the title, as long as they work hard, then it is not impossible for Manchester United to win the Champions Cup before Cantona retires.
Thinking of this, Jester remembered one of the most important players in the future rise of Manchester United, Cantona, affectionately called the eternal king by Manchester United fans.
"By the way, Mr. Coach, when I was watching the French team before, I saw that there was a player in them called Eric. Cantona, that's a very talented player......" Before Jester could finish speaking, he saw Alex. Ferguson's face turned unhappy.
It was then that he remembered his promise to Alex Ferguson, saying that he would never take the initiative to interfere in the internal affairs of Manchester United.
"No, no, Mr. Coach, I think you misunderstood me, I didn't interfere with your idea of dominance in Manchester United, I just talked about this player, he is very talented, and, very leader, you know, this kind of player, it's not very common!" Jester was sincere, and Ferguson's face returned to normal.
"Eric. Cantona ...... "Alex. Ferguson whispered the name, his face seemed to be thinking of something, and then a flash of brightness flashed in his eyes, "I think I know who you are talking about"
"The young man from Montpellier...... Indeed, as you said, his talent is dazzling. ”
Eric. Cantona was born in 1966, now he is only more than 23 years old, he is indeed a young player, and he is also very famous in France, and has been praised by many celebrities as Platini's successor.
But just like his game, there is one thing that Cantona is more famous for, and that is his bad temper.
So, up to now, he is still living in the little-known Montpellier mess around.
"Mr. President, you say that Cantona has a leadership temperament in him?" Alex. Ferguson smiled and asked Jester rhetorically, as if he was curious about Jester's next answer.
In fact, when Ester has seen Cantona play in this era, the picture in his impression is that Cantona is wearing a Manchester United fan, leading Manchester United players to destroy the city and look at the world, so Jester can only smile awkwardly in the face of Ferguson's rhetorical question.
"I can't say it, I just think he has a very special temperament, this temperament, like ...... It's like Brian. Robson is the same, just a feeling, I'm an amateur, and I don't know if it's right. ”
As he spoke, he laughed, trying to cover up the topic he had taken the initiative to bring up.
Unexpectedly, Ferguson nodded: "I have seen the video of Cantona, indeed, this is a very, very good player, but it is precisely because of his excellence that I think it is difficult for our League One team to impress him, as you said, what I like from him is his temperament like Bryan, the temperament of a leader." ”
Brian. Robson is now Manchester United's number seven, captain, and England's number seven captain, one of the best midfielders in the world at the moment, the undisputed leader, and the symbol of the current Manchester United.
Jester naturally knows that Cantona is still arrogant now, and it is naturally impossible to join the team in League One, and it will be a year or two later, after he completely lost interest in going to those big leagues, for example, Cantona was bought into Manchester United before Leeds, and there is no need to buy from Leeds later.
"Mr. Ferguson, you're right, but I don't think any team would be willing to take it in with Cantona's temper......" Before Jester could finish his words, he was dismissed by Alex. Ferguson interrupted.
"I don't think so."
When he said this, Alex. Ferguson's tone was firm and solemn.
"I think the reason Cantona's temper is the way the world sees it is because he hasn't met a coach who really understands him, in my eyes, Eric . Cantona is just a piece of jade, but it lacks some carving. ”
Speaking of which, Alex. There was a gleam on Ferguson's face.
Jester can also judge from here that I am afraid that Ferguson has already had some thoughts about Cantona, and maybe he has been in contact, probably because Cantona does not want to come to League One, and Manchester United's results over the years are not good, so he refused.
"Mr. Ferguson, as long as it's the player you want, the price is not a problem."
Jester was only able to make that promise in the end. R1152
