The weather in England is always gloomy.

Especially in winter.

The cold wind blows, quickly carrying away the surface temperature, making the temperature very low.

But.

In Ferguson's office, the temperature is warm.

As you get older, your energy fades quickly.

Ferguson clearly felt this.

He just flipped through a few copies of the information on the computer, and he felt that his eyes were a little sore, so he had to take off his glasses, and began to close his eyes and rest for a while.

Then.

Giggs knocked on the door.

Glancing at Giggs, Ferguson smiled.

With the assistance of Ryan Giggs, coupled with the return of old friends such as Ferran, Ferguson can rest assured that most of the trivial coaching work will be separated, and it will not be so hard to coach Manchester United.

"It's a pity Ole isn't there."

Ferguson misses Ole Solskjaer a little.

Like Ryan Giggs, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a star player brought out by Alex Ferguson. After Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's retirement at Manchester United, he took Ferguson's advice and began his coaching career at Manchester United's youth team before joining Ferguson's coaching staff.

But.

After leading Manchester United's reserve squad to the Reserve League title, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer left United to return to his former club, Norway's Molde.

Halfway through, he was the head coach of Cardiff City.

Now, he is back in Norway and continues to coach Molde.

"Ole did a good job in Norway and won't be coming back for a while."

Hearing Ferguson mention his old team-mate, Giggs immediately laughed.

Although he has been separated from his former teammates for a long time, Lao Ji and many of them still keep in touch.

"He's doing well."

Ferguson nodded.

Immediately, he turned his gaze to the stack of reports in Giggs's hand.

"Is it a recent fitness test report?"

Ferguson asked.

It's coming up against West Bromwich Albion.

The match came just three days apart from their clash with Crystal Palace. Moreover, both games were also away from home.

In order to ensure that the players will not be injured due to excessive fatigue during the game, Ferguson specially instructed Manchester United's team medical team to monitor the players' fitness data in real time.

Especially the day before the game, the team doctors must test the team's main players and feedback the test results to the coaching staff in a timely manner.

Ferguson counted the time.

Today is the time for the team doctor team to submit their report.

Therefore, when he saw the report brought by Giggs, Ferguson immediately guessed the contents of this large stack of reports.

"Hmm."

Giggs nodded.

He placed the report on Ferguson's desk.

Ferguson patted the report, but didn't mean to flip through it.

"How's Ibrahimovic doing?"

He asked casually.

'It's in good shape, it's a bit of a drop in fitness, but it's still possible to play 90 minutes. Although he is 33 years old, he is still in good health. ”

Ferguson nodded.

He asked a few more players, Giggs one by one

Overall, United's players are not in very good shape.

After all, it's already mid-league.

Plus the game is very intensive.

The players' fitness has dropped and that's to be expected.

But.

Apart from some injured players, the fitness of most of the first-team players is okay, which is somewhat relieved for Ferguson.

The next match against West Bromwich Albion will be another test for Manchester United.

At a time when the league table is getting more and more stalemate, Ferguson wants his players to have good physical and competitive condition.

Avoid being like a certain Italian team.

It collapses after winter.

Ferguson thought for a moment, and finally asked.

"What about Chu? How is he fit? According to the previous situation, he will only have about forty or fifty minutes of fitness in the next game. ”

Mention this.

Ferguson had a bit of a headache.

Chu Ge is good at everything, but his physical condition is not very good.

Of course, he can't be blamed for that.

On the one hand, Chu Ge is only eighteen years old after all, and his body is still developing, so of course his physical fitness cannot be compared with those mature players.

On the other hand, when he competes in the national team, he always has to cross two continents, eight time zones, fly long distances, and travel thousands of miles, which also has a big impact on his physical fitness.

Ferguson was able to understand Chu Ge.

He was just a little depressed.

As the third-ranked player in the Ballon d'Or, Chu Ge is the thickest thigh in the front court in the current Manchester United team.

His steady possession of the ball, sharp breakthroughs, coupled with efficient scoring methods, have become Manchester United's most core offensive means.

Without Chu Ge, Manchester United's attacking ability would have dropped by at least three tenths.

Ferguson was keen to start every Manchester United game and play the full 90 minutes.

The media is already hyping Manchester United suffering from "Chu Ge dependency".

But Ferguson wasn't worried about that at all.

In Ferguson's view, with a player like Chu Ge, isn't it the most normal thing to rely on him?

The media said as if Real Madrid did not rely on Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona did not rely on Messi.

Ferguson didn't bother to respond to them.

The only thing he cared about was Chu Ge's state.

Athletic and physical condition.

Hearing Ferguson really ask about this, Giggs suddenly smiled mysteriously.

He pulled out a team doctor's report.

It was handed to Ferguson.

"The test report of the team doctor team makes it very clear that Chu is now very good in all values, even better than most of his teammates. Against West Bromwich Albion, he was fit enough to play the full 90 minutes! ”

Giggs laughed.

"It may be that long-term exercise has made his physical preparation better and better; It may also be that there are no national team games in the near future, and there is less long-distance travel...... In short, Chu Ge's current physical fitness is no problem at all. ”

"Haha. That's good! ”

Ferguson carefully read the test report of the team medical team, and his expression suddenly became relaxed.

……

December 17th.

Manchester United take on West Bromwich Albion away.

Chu Ge starts.

At the Hawthorn Stadium, Chu Ge's dribbling and breakthrough caused West Bromwich Albion's defenders to run into a lot of problems.

Ultimately.

Manchester United beat West Bromwich Albion 3-1.

They have won five consecutive league games.

A week later.

Manchester United return to Old Trafford.

At home, they met their next opponent, Sunderland "Black Cat".

This was Chu Ge's first home game after finishing third in the Ballon d'Or.

Before the game, Chu singer held the trophy of the third place in the Golden Globe Awards, circled the field, accepted the applause of the fans, and also thanked the fans for their support.

As soon as the game began, Chu Ge took advantage of a free-kick opportunity to open the scoring for Manchester United.

Manchester United finally beat Sunderland 4-1 to win six consecutive league games!

And after scoring this goal,

Chu Ge's annual goal count has reached fifty!
