"Di, congratulations...... It's great to have won the UEFA Cup last season. ”

Ferguson was much more enthusiastic than expected, and immediately after seeing Dick, he took the initiative to come over and shake Dick's hand, and then said the above sentence.

Dick couldn't help but laugh - Ferguson really didn't hide his hatred of Liverpool at all, no wonder he was able to say in public: "The biggest achievement of my life is not to win the treble, but to pull Liverpool off the fucking throne!" "That's the case.

In fact, in a way, Dick's style is more similar to Ferguson's, with witty words, not minding swearing in public, and never hiding his dislike for a certain team...... It's just that Ferguson is not as high-profile as Dick, and the power of the media was not as great as it is now when he debuted, and when the media began to develop, people were used to Ferguson's style, so no one would say anything about Ferguson's remarks, but a young coach like Dick would be a little more high-profile, which would make many people feel dissatisfied.

"Congratulations on winning last season's league title, Jazz."

Dick replied with a smile: "It's a great thing to win three consecutive Premier League titles!" ”

Ferguson laughed happily, after winning the championship last season, Manchester United has won the Premier League three times in a row, you must know that although Manchester United also has a dominant position in the Premier League, but they have never won three consecutive titles, each time they were blocked by opponents in the third year, first Blackburn, then Arsenal, this time to win three consecutive titles, for Ferguson is also a milestone victory in his coaching career!

After sitting down, Dick spoke: "Mr. Ferguson, I have come to visit mainly for Stam. For some reason you put him in the transfer market, so this time I want to bring him to Atletico. ”

"Jappi's quality is outstanding, and if it weren't for some other reason, I wouldn't want to sell him." Ferguson nodded without moving: "However, such an excellent central defender, he still has three years left on his contract, we can't sell him at too low a price, without the right price, I won't consider it, and a player like Stam is not worried about no one in the transfer market." ”

Dick knows this, in fact, Stam's transfer is a surprise for most people, because Manchester United never thought of selling Stam before, which can be seen from the fact that the transfer window has been open for a week and there has been no movement, and the reason why Ferguson made up his mind to sell Stam was that Stam's autobiography was published a few days ago, and after reading that autobiography, Ferguson was furious, so he chose to put Stam on the transfer market.

"Last season, I thought about bringing Stam to Atletico and you turned it down.

Dick laughed: "We won't miss this opportunity this summer, money is not a problem, Atletico can buy Thuram for 23 million US dollars, so they don't mind buying Stam for the same price." We've just reached the Champions League and we have plenty of money to spend on the transfer market...... But I don't want too many twists and turns, and I'm sure no other team will pay more than us...... Twenty-three million, and if you agree, we'll be able to take Stam right away. ”

Ferguson fell into deep thought, and then he looked up: "It's not a very high price...... You know, when we brought him from the Netherlands to Manchester United three years ago, it cost us $19 million, which was the first value of a defender transfer at that time, and now the value of the player is much higher than three years ago. ”

Dick knew that the old fox was pressuring him, and he quickly shook his head: "It can't be counted like this...... Mr. Ferguson, three years ago Stam was twenty-six years old and was rightly fighting, and now? At the age of twenty-nine, the player will go downhill after the age of thirty, and it will definitely be a very risky move for us to buy Stam at this price, even if it is a big club, it will not make such a risky move. If Stam were twenty-six years old now, 30 million would have been offered, but at this time, no one but us would have offered a more exaggerated price...... Because we're not at the top of the game, but we're sprinting towards the big clubs, we need to make a big deal like that to increase the attractiveness of the team. I think I've made it clear. ”

Seeing Dick suddenly toughen, Ferguson squinted his eyes and laughed.

He began to appreciate the young manager a little, at least from the current point of view, he is very calm, and he also knows where his bottom line is - yes, no matter how good Stam is, he is twenty-nine years old, for a central defender of this age, it is not too easy to sell the top value, even if it is a giant, it will not spend too much money on such a veteran who may immediately go downhill, Dick's price is on par with the current world record, and he has expressed his sincerity enough.

Ferguson also didn't mention that Atletico Madrid might become Manchester United's rival in the Champions Cup or something, after all, those who are eligible to buy Stam must be the team that can participate in the Champions Cup, except for the teams that participate in the Champions Cup, few teams have the financial resources to buy Stam - Inter Milan may have this ability, but now they are still busy changing coaches, and they may not have time to buy Stam, at least they will not be able to make such a big deal until the coach is in place.

"Let's not be too anxious about this, after all, it's still early."

After thinking about it for a moment, Ferguson smiled and shook his head.

Dick wasn't in a hurry, but nodded: "Understood, Mr. Ferguson, I hope that the next time we meet, we can have better progress." ”

After saying this, Dick shook hands with Ferguson, and then turned to leave, looking at Dick's calm and unhurried performance, Ferguson nodded slightly - it seems that he can't squeeze out more......

Dick was not in a hurry for the next two days, he stayed in Manchester, and while contacting Madrid, he listened to some news - the players of Atletico Madrid this summer were unusually peaceful, and no one asked for a salary increase or asked to leave Atletico - it is clear that Atletico's performance last season proved that the club is on the rise, and Atletico Madrid have always been more generous in terms of salaries, which is why they can always buy some famous players, Dick was able to smoothly bring in famous players such as Stam, Makelele and Jadel last season, and the nouveau riche posture left by Atletico Madrid in the past still played a big role.

This season, Atletico Madrid is obviously going to attack the Champions Cup, for the players of Atletico, it will only be beneficial to stay now, even if it is as a substitute, there will be a lot of opportunities to play, if you can win some more titles, then what is there to pursue? Even if Atletico were substitutes last season, they are not yet to the point where they want to go to a small team to get a chance to play.

After hearing the news, Dick also put his mind at ease, he used these players very easily last season, and he didn't want to have a large-scale lineup change immediately, the personnel changes in Atletico Madrid in the last two seasons are not small, and now is the time to stabilize, and the current main squad is not very old, enough to stabilize for two or three seasons, and achieve a more glorious period.

Since no one has the mind to leave, Dick naturally doesn't bother to think about any financial balance - this is not something he should think about, keep good players, bring in better players - no manager will think that he has more good players at his disposal, and even if he can't use them, he has to pick them up first!

But what Dick didn't expect was that his players had no intention of leaving, and there was no team to poach them for the time being, but there were teams that wanted to poach him......

"Moratti says he's interested in me?" Dick asked, somewhat surprised—it was his assistant Ivan Perez on the other end of the line.

"Yes, sir, through other intermediaries, he expressed such intentions." Perez replied politely.

Dick fell into deep thought - shouldn't Moratti have his eye on the Argentine Cooper at this time? Is it because his performance last season was too coquettish that Moratti also took a fancy to him?

To talk about coaching a team like Inter Milan, Dick is really a little excited, the reason is simple, Inter Milan is an out-and-out giant, they have an owner who is willing to spend money, and there are some very good players in the team - the most important thing is that they have been working hard for many years, they have not won the league championship for more than ten years, and it is when one person needs to be saved, to coach in such a famous team where both players and coaches will fail, if it is successful, The increase in one's own fame is huge!

But soon, Dick denied such an idea, first of all, his foundation is not stable enough, in fact, he has only had a year of outstanding performance, in Atletico Madrid he can be stable, the main reason is the support of the management for him - among them, the old Hill played a huge role, so that no one in the team dared to blow up, even if his prestige was not enough before, but with the sword of Shang Fang given by the old Hill, and Dick showed a bad posture from the beginning, he quickly caught the whole team- But what about Inter Milan? Is it possible to have such power for him? For a giant like Inter Milan, the water is not ordinarily deep......

Moratti is a good person, but as a chairman he has a lot of flaws, easy to spoil players is the biggest problem, there is a joke that Moratti's godson Thedo, when the godson player and the manager have a conflict, he often favors the player rather than the manager, with Dick's character, I really can't stand this situation.

Moratti has also suffered many years of losses before he finally has some changes, and now is not the time for him to change, rather than going to Inter Milan at this time to suffer that anger, it is better to stay at Atletico Madrid, win more championships, earn more capital, and then no matter what team he goes to, he has the confidence to ask for enough power.

Now going to a team of Inter Milan's level, Dick still lacks some capital, don't step too big, otherwise, it will be easy to wrestle.

After thinking about it for a while, Dick made up his mind.

"Can you get the contact information for Inter Milan? I'd like to have a good talk with their principal. Dick said to Perez.

"That's fine." Perez nodded: "Just ask, you can get it soon." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for your news, as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Dick looked at the phone, and then suddenly laughed - does Moratti's invitation count as a basic success in the European continent? Well, now it seems that I have succeeded......
