Chapter XXIV
Ferguson's recent frequent visits to the local hospital have also led to some clues from the media. Finally, there were media reports that Ferguson had physical problems.
The Times directly discloses a terrible incident two weeks ago.
- Last Sunday morning, Ferguson had planned to get up in the morning and drive to Carrington as usual, but fainted at the door of his home, and Sir Alex Ferguson was taken to McClesfield Regional Hospital as soon as he fell ill. He was then transferred to Salford Royal Hospital, where it had a level of skill in dealing with subarachnoid haemorrhage that was not available in other hospitals. And the news of Ferguson's hospitalization was hidden, and no one found out at all.
- Sudden cerebral hemorrhage, that is, stroke, during the report given by the attending doctor. Sir Alex Ferguson's illness this time was not an ordinary cerebral hemorrhage, but a subarachnoid haemorrhage. Subarachnoid haemorrhage is a rare condition, affecting around 1 in 20 stroke patients in the UK. Subarachnoid hemorrhage does not have obvious signs before the onset of the disease, and once it occurs, it will be severe and can not be delayed in the slightest, this rare disease is very serious and even life-threatening.
– Due to his advanced age, Ferguson's attending doctor advised Ferguson not to take up the role of manager of Manchester United again.
Miraculously, Ferguson spent three days in the hospital and then returned to the training ground as if it had never happened, but in the end the Sun found out about it, and then the whole of England knew about it, and even the whole of Europe was talking about it.
Ferguson himself was not much confused by the incident, but the reaction of others was quite terrible.
The world football community has offered his best wishes, including major clubs and players, who have expressed their wishes on social media and other platforms, hoping that Sir Alex Ferguson can survive this illness and overcome the disease as strong as he did when he coached the Red Devils Manchester United.
"Wardfark?" Ferguson met Dong Fangzhuo in the office, because Dong Fangzhuo was also talking to him about his illness.
"It seems that people all over the world think that I have a terminal illness, that I don't have a long life, and that I am ready to go into a coffin?"
"Dong, I'm fine, that's why I'm sitting here and still directing Manchester United. You're thinking too much, I don't have any problems, I'm still in charge of Manchester United. ”
Alex Ferguson is reluctant to leave the United manager's position, at least not this season.
Dong Fangzhuo originally wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know which angle to cut into. So he had to make a compromise.
"Just this season, ok? At the end of the season, hand over Manchester United to someone else. ”
"To whom?" Ferguson blinked, then sarcastically, "Give it to Ryan?" Or will I leave it to you, a stinky rookie? ”
"And then let you continue with Manchester United to take out those devil-like guys?"
Dong Fangzhuo, who has just obtained the UEFA B-level coaching certificate, is indeed a rookie, but he will not bow his head in front of Ferguson just because he is a rookie.
"Why not?"
"A rookie will also become a champion coach."
"Aha, do you think it's easy to run a team? Let's wait until you get the UEFA A certificate, neither of you has got it yet, and you will have to ...... at the earliest Next summer, maybe ......" Ferguson hesitated. He really considered handing over the position again.
Don't look at the indifference on his face now, but in fact, he is also very worried about his condition, most of his life has been spent on Manchester United, and he has not had time to enjoy more family happiness. For the family, he is an unqualified father and grandfather, as well as a husband.
You can't wait for the day you die, can you?
He groaned for a moment before he spoke: "If you, Ryan Giggs and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can all get their A certificates next summer, I can consider it." ”
Dong Fangzhuo was stunned, he didn't expect Ferguson's heart to soften so quickly. So, in fact, he still figured out a lot of things?
"Manchester United must not be out of the title race."
"We need to be competitive enough."
'Now Manchester United is out of trouble, we should be challenging for the title, I have already thought about the difficulties of this season, but now it's okay, we still haven't fallen behind, we can continue to surprise the opponents.'
"Next, the time has come to really test us."
Ferguson regained his composure.
"I need a championship trophy to retire, at least one. League or Champions League. Dong, help me get it back, and then I'll sit in the stands every weekend and watch you play. ”
"Hmm."
"I'll do my best......"
"Don't try, but definitely."
"You don't want Messi and Ronaldo to bully, this is the most important season, for you and for me. Unleash your passion, you're still the strongest guy on the pitch and you need to continue to dominate the world of football. ”
"I understand that when a player reaches your level, there must be a lack of glory, but you know, you are different from other people, because you are standing at different heights, do you know how many other people are standing in front of you? There are only two. ”
"One is Maradona and one is Pele."
'At club you need to keep winning titles, get away from everyone else and then lead the team to another World Cup final, at least the semi-finals. So that you can go above and beyond perfectly. When you retire one day, you'll be the best ever. ”
"Manchester United is the best, the best in the world."
'And if you really want to, I'll propose to the board a plan for next summer, with Ryan Giggs as manager of Manchester United and you and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as assistant coaches.
“……”
Ferguson really seems to be arranging the aftermath......
"The premise is that you get a championship back for me."
“OK.。”
……
After October's smoke, November has finally arrived, with Manchester United qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions League two rounds ahead of schedule.
In the middle of November, Manchester United faced one of their strongest opponents, Manchester City. How strong are Manchester City? The league has a record of 11 wins and 1 draw in 12 games, won all the League Cup, and the Champions League is also won two rounds ahead of schedule.
It can be said that Manchester City is almost invulnerable, and the ace Messi in the team is currently the top scorer in Europe, with 28 goals in all competitions, and it only took a third of the season for him to complete such terrifying statistics, with Cristiano Ronaldo in second place scoring 26 goals and Dong Fangzhuo scoring 20 goals.
Of course, it now seems that the Reds have achieved a good result, and even if they beat Manchester City away from home, they will even close the gap to one point in the league.
But, can they?
