Chapter 043: From Manchester to London (1st Recommended Collection)
Early the next morning, Carrington Training Base.
Ferguson put Mike. Phelan called into his office.
"Smack!" He threw a newspaper on Mike. Phelan's in front of him.
It was a German-language newspaper, and Ferran's German was two knives, and he could barely speak some of it, but he couldn't write, and he couldn't read what it said.
However, it doesn't matter, because he recognizes the photo of the person on the front page of this German newspaper - isn't this the same Chinese player recommended by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer before, and then he was archived and abandoned without passing the initial investigation?!
Mike. Phelan immediately realized what the problem was, and it must have something to do with the Chinese player.
……
"What about Pete, that bastard?" The Ferguson hair dryer was activated.
Phelan knew it wasn't good when he heard it, and Jazz directly scolded Pete for being a bastard, and it seemed that the problem was not small.
"Pete is on vacation, he finished last quarter, and now he should be on vacation in Sardinia." Mike. Ferran said, catching a glimpse of a disc on Ferguson's desk and a FedEx bag in the corner with rubbings on the bag, sent from Basel to Manchester, signed last night.
Phelan immediately understood that this must have been a package sent from Basel to Carrington training base overnight yesterday, reminiscent of yesterday's Champions League group stage draw Manchester United and Basel are in a group, obviously, this is the information sent by the old Sir from Basel overnight through his connections after the group draw ended.
……
"Vacation?" Ferguson was furious, "What qualifications does he have for a vacation!" A player who scored a hat-trick in a single game in the Champions League play-offs, he gave such a hasty conclusion. ”
Ferguson was furious, if it weren't for the Manchester United team that happened to be in a group with Basel this time, he remembered the Chinese player who had not passed Manchester United's scouting assessment after being recommended by Solskjaer, and then sent the game video and media materials from Switzerland through his own connections, and the result surprised Ferguson, a player who was judged by Manchester United scouts to have no ability and potential to play for Manchester United, scored a hat-trick in the Champions League play-offs!
That was enough to shock Ferguson.
The team in the Champions League play-offs is already a quasi-Champions League team, and there is no difference between it and the real Champions League, and even because this is a two-legged knockout round, it is even more difficult, to be able to score a hat trick in such an event, not to mention the ability and development in the future, just look at the performance of this game, if it develops steadily, it is enough to be worthy of the Manchester United jersey!
It's not known how it will develop in one game, but it at least shows that the potential is huge.
……
"A young man who has scored six goals in five games in the Swiss Super League."
"A player who has scored seven goals in three Champions League qualifiers (Champions League qualifiers and Champions League play-offs)! Our scouting system was rejected at the first stage! ”
'Because of Ole [Ole Gunnar Solskjaer], we were the first to give up on such a young man ahead of other clubs.
"Manchester United almost became a joke." The Ferguson hair dryer was running at full speed, "If this incident gets out in the future, it will be a big joke." ”
"I almost became the same guy as the Frenchman." Ferguson said smirkedly.
……
Ferguson's old rival (friend), Arsenal manager Arsna. Arsene Wenger has rubbed shoulders with many excellent players, many of whom Arsenal took a fancy to and almost signed.
Mike. When Fei Lan heard this, he said in his heart that for the latter reason, you really care about it, of course, he didn't dare to say this.
However, Mike. Phelan for Scout Pete. Freeman was also dissatisfied with the quality of his work, and at the same time felt that Pitt was really unlucky: scouts look at players, which is a common thing, after all, scouts are also people, not systems, they can only rely on their own experience, and data analysis to determine the potential of a player, and it is understandable that the situation of eye-catching occurs. However, the problem is that Pete did not continue to pay attention to the subject for a while, and made conclusions too hastily in advance...... This luck ......
……
"What a fucking stupid way to do things so sloppily, is his head full of poop?"
"Take a vacation! What qualifies him for a vacation! Tell Pete to swim back from the Mediterranean! ”
"If I believe that report and don't notice the problem this time, then when we play Basel, we are unprepared, okay, okay, that Zhonghua Jiang happens to sing a good show to us, it will be great!"
……
Ferguson started a fire, and no one could stop it.
Even Mike, who has been the old man's assistant for many years. Phelan can only be scolded obediently. He dared to secretly step on balloons on the sidelines to scare the old man during the game, and the old man laughed and scolded at most, but when the Ferguson brand hair dryer was at full power, the gods retreated, and no one dared to stop him.
……
When the Ferguson hair dryer finally began to slow down, it slowly turned off.
Mike. Fei Lan sorted out his thoughts and said seriously, "This matter is a mistake in the work of our scouts, and I am also responsible for negligence, and the relevant departments of the club will review and deal with Pitt's dereliction of duty." ”
Ferguson nodded and didn't say anything, although he was annoyed, he would not casually meddle in the club's internal personnel appraisal review, because ...... The standards of the entire Manchester United personnel review department need to be approved by him first, well.
……
"Also, I don't think that's a bad thing." Mike. "We have noticed the Chinese player again now, and we can collect his information and study it now, so that we can prepare in advance for the Champions League group stage match against Basel in the future, and we can continue to observe this player." ”
"The information is here." Ferguson snorted coldly and handed over the CD, "You and Martin watch the video together, edit it, submit the report, and have a meeting when the time comes." ”
……
North London, Arsenal, Kearney training base.
"Are you sure?" Steve. Raleigh looked at Bobby. Bennett asked, it's not that he doesn't believe his colleagues, it's really Bennett who praised the other party too outrageously, it's just a praise to the sky, and those who don't know think it's praising Messi.
Steve. Raleigh, Arsenal's chief scout, has been with Arsenal for nearly 30 years, longer than the big guy Dane. Arsene Wenger was promoted to director when he arrived at Arsenal in 1996 and has previously worked as an academy assistant, junior scout and first-team evaluator, handling scouting reports. He is a man who is responsible for his work, who listens to his professors and is responsible for Arsenal's global scouting network.
Bobby. Bennett is Arsenal's scout for Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark and has been with Arsenal for seven years, most notably for discovering Danish talent for Arsenal Nicholas. Bendtner and Norwegian teenager Nordvedt.
……
Early in the morning, Bennett came to the Kearney training base in a hurry and directly rang Steve. Raleigh's office door, reporting that he had discovered a genius.
"Are you sure?"
Steve. Raleigh's questioning tone seemed to irritate Bobby. Bennett.
Bobby. Bennett immediately asked Steve. Raleigh made a promise: "I promise you. This is a piece of jade that has not yet been discovered! That Egyptian would be even more famous than their pyramids. ”
