"I didn't expect you to go to Manchester City...... I was going to do it for a few more years, and I'm going to try to get you to take over my class. Ferguson looked at the cup of coffee in front of him, sighed, and said.

"No kidding, Jazz, I think you can coach for years, I can't wait that long." Dick laughed: "Besides, I want to pursue something in the Premier League, and there is nowhere else to go, I am in charge of Manchester City, but I am not here to cause you trouble." ”

Ferguson smiled dumbly: "Okay...... But Dick, do you really think Manchester City will be able to make an impact on Manchester United's position this season? You have to know that my Manchester United are now fully formed, and it is the time for results, a rushed Manchester City can't pose much of a threat to us, and if you take over Chelsea, it's a huge problem. ”

'If it's fair, Manchester City and Manchester United are still far behind, but you know, we don't have a Champions League this season, I don't care about the League Cup and the FA Cup, we can focus on the league. And you, are you still distracted in the Champions Cup? It wasn't an easy game to play against. Not only Manchester United, even if Manchester City's overall strength is still not as good as the top four, but with us able to concentrate on the league, do you think Manchester City still does not pose any threat? Dick chuckled slightly.

Ferguson's eyes narrowed, Dick was right, Manchester City were indeed built in a hurry, but their advantage is obvious, that is, they can concentrate on playing in the league! And can the other four focus on playing only in the league? No kidding, as the importance of the Champions Cup becomes more and more obvious, the focus of a team of Manchester United's level will definitely be more in the league, and now that there are many strong teams in the Premier League, the possibility of involving each other is greater, so Manchester City is also more likely to seize the opportunity to rise - Dick has such self-confidence, naturally not without purpose.

And one of the things that Ferguson is afraid of Dick is his coaching ability, which is a manager who can make the team play 12% of its combat effectiveness, and now Manchester City's personnel composition is also quite good, although it has not played a game yet, but the overall framework has risen, and when they are almost done, what kind of bloody storm will they set off in the Premier League?

"It looks like this season, there is always a team that is going to be unlucky." Ferguson sighed, then bumped into Dick7: "I hope it's not you or me who are unlucky." ”

Dick raised his glass to Ferguson: "No, both teams in Manchester will be aiming for the league title, not just to keep the Champions Cup, the other teams should be worried!" ”

Ferguson laughed.

The meeting with Ferguson is just a small episode, to some extent, Manchester City is not Manchester United's biggest rival now, although they are sworn enemies in the same city, but before in Ferguson's eyes, Manchester City, the city rival, is not at the same level as Manchester United, his coaching career is thinking about one thing and has basically done it, that is, to defeat Liverpool and pull Liverpool off the throne of English football.

City continued to train quietly for the next few days, they didn't even play a warm-up game, and what matters to Dick now is time, as far as the game is ...... The first few rounds of the league are also a good warm-up opportunity......

It's not that Dick looks down on the Premier League, now the Premier League schedule has come out, Manchester City's first two opponents are West Ham United and Derby County, and the third round is the Manchester derby.

When the Premier League is approaching, the major sports media in England have also begun to look forward to the new season, and the traditional semi-finals are still the favorites to win the championship, but this time the name of Manchester City has also been put forward - "After the top coach Dick took over, Manchester City spent a lot of money in the transfer market to build the entire Manchester City almost from beginning to end, Ribery, Torres, Yaya Toure and Samuel The addition of the four top players has strengthened Manchester City's three lines enough, plus experienced veterans like Di Natale, Parker, A strong team like Barnes, talented young people like Kompany, Joel Luka, Young, Vidal, we have to admire Dick's ability to build a team, and now Manchester City's age structure is quite reasonable, this is not a quick success, but a team with strong continuity. However, we also have to see that after all, this team is made up of ten veteran players and fourteen new players, whether it is a run-in or other aspects, they cannot show their fighting ability from the beginning. It's a good thing that Manchester City haven't played in Europe this season, they have been able to run in the squad very well, and I think after a season of training, Manchester City have the ability to challenge for the league title and European competitions - of course, this is because under Dick's leadership, otherwise they will have to wait a few years for the European championship. ”

I have to say that Dick's prestige left a few years ago played a role at this time, you must know that although Manchester City has spent so much money, but after all, the whole team is changing blood too quickly, such a situation is often not favored, but because Dick is leading the team, so they are considered to be the top four of this season's powerful impactors, after the rise of Manchester City, who will be squeezed out of the Champions Cup area in the traditional top four? This became a topic of great interest to everyone.

As the days passed, the 3rd of August was fast approaching – in the first Community Shield match at the new Wembley Stadium, league champions Manchester United defended their honour by drawing 1-1 with Chelsea in the space of 90 minutes, and finally in the penalty shoot-out, summer signing Edwin van der Sar performed well, saving three Chelsea penalties in a row to help United beat their opponents in the penalty shoot-out and win the first title of the new season!

Dick watched the game throughout - at the scene - the broadcast camera also frequently aimed at Dick who was watching the game in the stands without concealment, after all, for the Premier League, Dick's coaching of Manchester City can be regarded as an example of the Premier League's prosperity, the best managers, the best players, are concentrated in the Premier League!

Dick was interviewed after the game and when asked why he came to watch the game, Dick smiled: "It's a good opportunity to see our two biggest opponents. ”

Crazy, really crazy, do you only think that the league champions of the past three years are Manchester City's opponents?

However, in the face of such a question, Dick asked rhetorically: "Did I say that there are only two of our biggest opponents?" The whole team in the Premier League is our opponent, you know, we were just fighting for relegation last season! ”

"That'...... What are City's goals this season? The reporter asked cautiously.

"Of course it's relegation." Dick replied, then added: "On the basis of relegation, go for the league title." ”

The reporters vomited blood and ran away - is there anyone who is so molesting? Who doesn't know that Manchester City spent more than 100 million yuan and invited you in the transfer market, just for the championship? What are you talking about now on the basis of relegation...... Fool whom?

However, Dick made a fuss with them and returned to Manchester before heading to London again for their first game away at West Ham United.

For this game, many people are looking forward to it, although it is not the opening game, but many people want to see what Dick can bring out of Manchester City - Chinese fans are more looking forward to it, the reason is very simple, Manchester City itself is a team that Chinese fans pay more attention to, because Sun Jihai has played in this team for six seasons, and his solid position has made him very popular, although he began to be reduced to a substitute last season, but this season Dick coached Manchester City, For the first time in the European League, there is a team with a manager and players who are all Chinese, how can this not attract the attention of Chinese fans?

And with Dick's level of winning the championship, maybe Sun Jihai can become the first Chinese player to win the league championship in the five major leagues, and all Chinese fans are very much looking forward to such a result.

Before the start of the league, many Chinese reporters wanted to interview Dick and Sun Jihai, but they were all pushed away by Dick, how can the new coach of a team, how can time be insufficient, how can you waste time with reporters - but reporters almost all know his character, when he is only coaching a team, it is always very difficult to interview him, and when the team is on the right track, Dick is still happy to be interviewed by reporters - he is a character who likes to be in the limelight.

West Ham United have made a lot of moves in the transfer market this summer, although they sold Tevez, Benayoun, Koncheski, Koke and other key players, but they all sold for a good price, which allowed them to buy Dyer, Ljungberg, Bellamy and other famous players in the transfer market, plus Solano and Wright who joined for free, they also have a good team.

In the face of the menacing Manchester City, West Ham United manager Kubishli seemed to be dismissive: "We are lucky to meet Manchester City at this time, it is very difficult for a team that has changed most of the main players to form a fighting force, and we will beat Manchester City at home in this game to prove that West Ham United are better." ”

A manager who dared to provoke Dick...... Soon, Dick let everyone know why few managers in La Liga, Bundesliga, and Serie A dared to quarrel with Dick - this guy swears without dirty words, and specifically pokes each other's hearts......

"Hmm...... Looking at the lineup of West Ham United last year, there are famous players such as Tevez, Benayoun and Sheringham, and with so much investment, it is still possible to avoid relegation before the end of the season...... It is understandable that the head coach who can achieve such a miracle will think that the team that has changed most of the main players will not be able to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time. ”

Dick directly slapped Kubishli in the face, West Ham United last season under the Icelandic tycoon Magnussen's big investment, ambitious to make a difference in the Premier League and the League Cup, but the results have been slipping, during the winter break they were once at the bottom of the thought of certain relegation, if not the last nine rounds of miraculous seven wins and two draws, beating strong teams including Arsenal and Manchester United, then they will really be relegated......

Although Kubishli kept his position through hard work, at this time, Dick turned it out and said that it was really a slap in the face......

"This guy is not easy to mess with." All of a sudden, everyone had this impression of Dick.
