Chapter 159: Little Ferguson

Portsmouth 6-0 Sunderland, it was a jaw-dropping scene.

Before the game was over, Hydward patted Finnan, the assistant coach next to him, on the shoulder and went back to the locker room with a small notebook.

The camera camera just caught this scene, and Van Nistelrooy, who was the commentator, looked at this back thoughtfully and said: "Lord Ferguson once told me privately that there is a coach in England who is very much like himself when he was younger. ”

Glero was intrigued by the topic, and instead of discussing the course of the game at half-time, he talked about a period of time in England.

Turning over the history of youth training in English football, "household registration book" has become synonymous with high quality and high price, but in the long history of football, there is such a group of young people not only show off their power in their own country, but also meet gods and Buddhas in Europe, after winning the championship, one of the young people said: "I think it's not that we are too strong, but that the opponent is too weak!" "His name was Paul Scholes, and everyone laughed at him for being young and frivolous, but together with his partner, he ushered in an era.

Historical name: Class 92!

After a heavy defeat to Southampton on 4 November 1896, Manchester United sacked Mr Atkinson and then finalised Alex Ferguson in just three hours.

The front page of the News of the World that day read: "Manchester United have a Scotsman, but Manchester United are only paying him 1/4"

However, the staff of Manchester United noticed that this coach was different, and on his first day on the job, he brought a map of England, pasted it on the wall, first told the staff about the concept of strict management, innovative play, and improved medical care, and then pointed to the map and said: "Gather scouts, find me all the geniuses on this map." ”

At that time, there was no Wenger in England, everyone was not very comfortable with this kind of manager who loved his life, the fans and the media felt that their manager was crazy, and Ferguson had become obsessed with digging small saplings all over the mountains, as long as he heard that there was a genius anywhere, he would drive his ten-year-old white Chevrolet car to see it for himself, track it to his home, and then persuade his parents to send their children to Manchester United's academy.

Paul Scholes, the Neville brothers, Bart and David Beckham all joined from that time, and United's Academy was packed with talent.

For example, he personally poached a 14-year-old boy named "Wilson" from Manchester City's academy.

Ferguson has enriched the four-tier echelon, established a professional logistics support system, scouts have changed from two to eight at the beginning, there is a special team responsible for the diet and games of the young players, and the youth team and the first team train together, using the same field, and even the training content is exactly the same. Ferguson is very fond of coaching these talented players himself, often mixing young and old players to play games, and the little ones have become precocious and know the team instructions of the lord very well.

However, United fans did not see the behind-the-scenes work, only seeing poor results in the first season, a second season in which Liverpool rode to the head, and a third season that narrowly avoided relegation until the end of the season.

"It's been an excuse for three years, and it's still a waste, get out of Fergue!" It's a slogan that we don't know anymore, Ferguson is in the dark, in the dark, and the lord says: "The kids in the academy are my only light. "In 1989, during Ferguson's most painful day, the children of Class 92 were offered their first professional contracts.

The kid named Wilson scored the only goal of the game on his first professional debut, oh yes, that year the kid had changed his mother's surname because he was separated from his parents, and his name was Ryan Giggs!

Just as they went from leading in the first round of the league in '94 to winning the double in the final round, and the fans were expecting the stars of the team to make a brilliant appearance, Ferguson chose to purge, Canchelski, Ince, Hughes were sent away, the Kings Cantona kicked fans for a long time, and a group of children were promoted to the first team. Then they beat Villa 3-1 in the opening round of the league, and Alan Hansen left behind the famous quote: "You can't win anything with a bunch of kids." ”

Saying this, almost every fan wants to spoil poor Hansen, because the next scene is the most classic "face slap battle" in football history, Manchester United has all the elements of the pretending to be forced to slap the face routine, the unfavorable beginning, the extreme process, the crazy opponent and the great ending. Ferguson's boys trailed Newcastle by as many as 12 points, and they went from strength to strength after Cantona's return, surpassing the points in March '96, Kevin Keegan couldn't stand Ferguson's psychological warfare and shouted on live TV: "They don't get anything at Middlesbrough, I like to beat them, I like it!" "Kevin's brain is completely messed up.

At the moment when Manchester United won the championship, many old Manchester United fans cried bitterly, because Sir Busby died two years ago, and the Class of 92 did everything too much like those "Busby Children" back then, and since then the "Class of 92" has a new name, the children of Ferguson.

This group of youngsters has conquered the Premier League, and the next goal is to conquer the world!

Speaking of the past years, it can make people forget the time, and Vanney also wants to continue to talk about the story of the ten lions and a fool in the 98-99 season, and the magic of the Champions League that year, but time does not allow it.

Glero looked at the broadcast camera, remembered several dry stocks he had invested in Portsmouth, and said: "Hydeward is indeed very similar to the lord, he has been digging up young talents all over the world since he took office, and he will go wherever there are more saplings, Metz and Le Havre in France, Dortmund in Germany, and Barcelona in Spain." He was young, but he was like the godfather of these children. ”

Vanney nodded and said thoughtfully, "Margery, who wears the Portsmouth captain's armband, do you know who I remember?" ”

Glero fumbled his fingers and asked tentatively, "Nesta?" Cannavaro? Carvalho? "In terms of style of play, Margery is really trying to emulate the way these top defenders play.

Vanney shook his head, indicating that it wasn't one of them, and Glero said he couldn't guess.

"Gary Neville."

"Manchester United captain Gary?" Glero was surprised that Margery played at centre-back and Gary Neville played at right-back, with completely different technical characteristics. "Why?"

Ruud van Nistelrooy laughed and gave his reasons: "When Gary was in the youth team, except for Ferguson and Harrison (Manchester United's academy godfathers), all the other coaches were not optimistic about Gary Neville, and a coach in the academy once asserted that Gary could not play more than 50 games in the first team, and even after winning the championship in 1992, some people ridiculed Gary for having zero football talent. In response, he would practice on his own until late every day and then be the first to appear on the court in the morning. I know that Margery is also not expected by many coaches, except for Alex Ferguson and Heideward, who are not in good physical condition, but all of Portsmouth know that he is the hardest working man in the team. ”

………………

As Sunderland and Portsmouth players came out of the tunnel for the second half, Ruud van Nistelrooy asked: "Continuing with the original question, who did the gentleman say was the manager who resembled Alex Ferguson as a teenager?" ”

"Hydeward, he's Ferguson Jr." Glero looked determined, waiting for the commentary partner to respond.

After waiting for a few seconds, Van Nistelrooy's calm, magnetic voice rang in his ears.

"The old man told me that the man's name was ...... David Moyers ....... ”

“……”

“……”

I, Moyes, have a bloody face!!
