Chapter 253: Millwall's Young Coach Is Amazing

Ferguson's words caused an uproar among journalists.

Alex Ferguson is one of the world's top and most prestigious managers, having been in charge of Manchester United for more than 19 seasons now, and Manchester United has led the rise of the team that has almost dominated English football in the past decade.

While such brilliance has created a huge reputation, it has also brought about many related influences, such as the countless stars produced under Alex Ferguson, and the United coaching staff has produced one top coach after another.

The famous English coach Redknapp, who served as an assistant coach to Alex Ferguson; Everton boss David Moyes, who also served as an assistant to Manchester United; Current Mildersbrough boss McLaren, who was also an assistant to Alex Ferguson, is also said to be expected to take over the England squad next year, as current manager Swede Christian Eriksen has confirmed that he will leave after the World Cup.

The title of an assistant coach is nothing, but the title of an assistant coach of Manchester United is enough to make a very good resume, and being an assistant coach of Manchester United is the same as graduating from one of the world's top universities, and it will be extremely easy to become a real manager with this resume.

The gold content of Ferguson's promise is evident.

However, what the media is more concerned about is that Ferguson publicly poached Millwall, hoping to join Manchester United's coaching team.

On weekdays, they would still be a little envious, and there are not many young people who can be recognized by Ferguson, but it is interesting for Ferguson to say this at a crucial time in the game between Millwall and Manchester United.

Will that young Chinese be impressed?

Maybe he chose to become the manager of Manchester United, it is a good way out, although he has led the team Millwall to achieve good results, but after all, he is still too young, when one day leading the team to bad results, it is not easy to continue to stay in football, to Manchester United 'gilded' will be a good choice.

Some Manchester United fans also thought, "Zhang Yang can be Ferguson's assistant coach, with his current results in leading the team, maybe after Ferguson retires, he can continue to make Manchester United glorious for decades!" ”

That's something to look forward to!

Ferguson's public speech was quickly known by Zhang Yang, in fact, Zhang Yang didn't care what the opponent said, but when the training was over and he left the club, he was stopped by reporters.

Zhang Yang didn't want to be interviewed, so a reporter expressed what Ferguson said at a fast pace.

Zhang Yang stopped.

From the reporter's mouth, Zhang Yang roughly knew the situation, he asked two sentences carefully, and then couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth.

Ferguson appreciates himself?

That's not it!

Before the start of the game between Millwall and Manchester United, he said this kind of thing purely to put Manchester United on a higher perspective, and the old man expressed the meaning: "Your manager can only be my deputy, how can Millwall play against Manchester United?" ”

This is to overwhelm Millwall in momentum, as for the so-called appreciation and the like, maybe part of it is true, but Zhang Yang didn't buy it at all, he didn't consider going to Manchester United as an assistant coach.

In the anticipation of the reporters, Zhang Yang opened his mouth with a smile, "I am very happy to be appreciated by Mr. Alex Ferguson, but I have not considered becoming an assistant coach, and Manchester United is no exception." Of course, if he retires and Manchester United invite me, I will probably consider it then, right? It's a bit of a bad thing to say, but I'm doing a good job at Millwall. It's not an easy choice to make to coach Millwall or Manchester United, but now I'm the Millwall manager so he's thinking about retiring now and I'm not going to leave the team and join Manchester United. But to be honest, it's almost time for him to retire, right? They are all old, and people of this age have already retired. ”

"I've seen a lot of reports saying that Manchester United is at a critical juncture of the transition between the old and the new? The veterans are gone, like Keane, a very good player, but he still left, I heard the grapevine that Keane had a conflict with him? It's understandable that people are getting angry when they're old, but it's not right to put them on work. ”

"Manchester United is indeed at a critical moment of the replacement of the old and the new, and he should leave when he is old, maybe he is the most deserving to leave, otherwise why would Manchester United be suppressed by Chelsea? He has led Manchester United to many glory stories in the past, but after all, it is a thing of the past, and his thinking is no longer up to date! ”

Zhang Yang continued to talk about Ferguson, "I have seen him, a very old-fashioned old man, he seems to think of himself as the leader of the English coach, but in fact, he is a Scottishman, I'm sorry to say that, but that's what I thought at the time, I think a Scottish coach should not be the leader of the English coach, at least the fans in London and Manchester, they care about the England team, not the Scottish team. Even if Scotland can win the World Cup, it has nothing to do with England. ”

The surrounding reporters were stunned.

There are few people who dare to say Ferguson like this in European football, and in the past, only Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho didn't care about Ferguson's face at all, and bluntly expressed 'Ferguson is old', 'he should have retired a long time ago', etc., and then Mourinho became Ferguson's sworn enemy, and Chelsea has also become Manchester United's biggest rival in the past two seasons.

But that's Mourinho!

Jose Mourinho proved his coaching ability by leading Porto to the European Championship with a miraculous victory.

He's one of the best coaches in the world.

Publicity?

This young man is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and he dares to say this about Ferguson, which is tantamount to offending all Manchester United supporters.

"His future is already destined to be insulated from Manchester United...... Unless one day, he can stand up and publicly apologize to Ferguson! ”

Some journalists thought.

Zhang Yang doesn't care at all, he is not a head coach who relies on relationships, he relies on the ability to lead the team, there are so many clubs in the world, there are many top giants in Europe, there are not many more Manchester United, and there are no less Manchester United, he will not think about 'whether there is a chance to coach Manchester United in the future', I believe that Manchester United will have to think about it when the time comes, and it makes no sense to offend Manchester United.

Millwall want to play Manchester United, this encounter is the most important, if you don't want to offend Manchester United, do you deliberately lose the game?

The moment they were ready to compete for the last four or even the title, Millwall were already on the opposite side of Manchester United, they were direct rivals and he was a natural enemy of Manchester United.

On the contrary, the same is true.

In the end, Zhang Yang talked about the game, and his words were still very low-key, "We are a promoted team, and the goal is just relegation." But there is dignity in the promotion of the relegation team and our fans will want the team to beat Manchester United, which will give us the confidence to finish the relegation. So we're going to give it our all at home. I also believe that the winner will be Millwall. ”

"Manchester United is going through a transition between the old and the new, and it is normal to pay a little price for failure, of course, he will not have enough time to make amends, and by the time Manchester United's so-called 'blood change' is over, probably he will have retired?"

'I'm sure Manchester United fans will miss his ......'

The reporters around listened to it and grinned, and they didn't say anything sarcastic about Manchester United later, but Millwall's goal was relegation? At the beginning of the season, they believed and believed, but now Millwall is second in the league and constantly emphasizes relegation, when everyone else is stupid?

"Perhaps, this young man has great ambitions!"

Some journalists speculated.

————

When Ferguson learned what Zhang Yang said, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, he didn't expect a young man in his early twenties to have the courage to fight against him, he immediately responded angrily, "If I had known in advance that he was so arrogant, he shouldn't have been invited, Millwall's results are not bad, but it is too far to beat Manchester United!" ”

Ferguson's angry expression made many reporters feel very interesting, but they didn't care about Ferguson's statement.

Millwall can beat Liverpool, they can beat Arsenal, why can't they beat Manchester United?

Zhang Yang is a bit arrogant.

Ferguson's statement is also not modest.

In the morning, Millwall did defensive training for Manchester United, and Zhang Yang asked each player to increase one-on-one defensive practice, so that they know what to do in the game, that is, to prevent the players from being broken one-on-one in the game.

In any game, it's dangerous to have a player break through.

Manchester United are all top stars, and Millwall's average is so much worse than that, minimising the number of times players are broken by a single player is crucial to defence.

After lunch at noon, Zhang Yang received a temporary interview request from a reporter.

Normally, Zhang Yang refuses directly, but considering that Ferguson has spoken, he must respond, so Zhang Yang also stood up and said, "I don't need his invitation, if I want to go to Manchester United, I can!" Wait until he retires! I'm still a young man, and I don't want to be influenced by old people. ”

Ferguson received the news that afternoon, and he replied angrily, "He should learn how to respect his seniors first!" ”

At the end of the afternoon training, Zhang Yang replied, "You see, he himself admits that he is old!" Seniors should have retired early! It is the best choice to take care of your days at home and wait for God's salvation all the time. ”

This sentence made Ferguson grit his teeth angrily.

Ferguson is most concerned about age, after all, he is sixty-five years old, he has been a football coach for a lifetime, he knows better than anyone that age is very important in the coaching industry, the head coach is a high-intensity work, but not ordinary people can do it, two years ago, he needs to rely on a pacemaker, to maintain emotional stability, otherwise it will lead to a decline in physical health, some coaches even in the command of the game, there are mood swings leading to shock.

He is indeed old.

It is precisely because of his age that Ferguson cares more about others mentioning his age, and Zhang Yang's repeated mention of 'getting old' and 'it's time to retire' makes him more angry than any direct insults.

Ferguson simply ignored it, he felt that if he continued to entangle, maybe his life would be reduced by a few years.

Before leaving London the next morning, Ferguson gathered all the players and made a clear request for the game, "I don't accept defeat, I just want to see victory!" This one must be won! ”

All the players know why.

Yesterday's media coverage of the war of words between Ferguson and Zhang Yang ended with Ferguson's silence, Zhang Yang stood a little cheap, and every player knew that Ferguson must be angry.

"Millwall's young coach is amazing...... ...... can make the boss angry"

Many Manchester United fans thought.

The last time that happened was before Manchester United hosted Chelsea, Ferguson and Jose Mourinho had a war of words that ended Chelsea's unbeaten run with a 1-0 thrashing of Chelsea.

Now the opponent is just Millwall.

Although Millwall is second in the league and Manchester United is playing away, Manchester United's stars still don't think that Millwall has a chance to win the game, after all, they are just a small club, and their strength is too bad for Manchester United.

Manchester United will definitely win in the end!
