'Remember when you first arrived in the Premier League two years ago, we played? At that time, I beat your team twice during the season, and I really didn't expect your team to play so well. If I had known this, maybe two years ago, my choice would have been a different choice. Two years ago, you said that it would be difficult to defeat me, and I thought you were talking about a joke, but now it seems that maybe I am a joke. ”

Sitting in a London tavern, Li Bin and Alex Ferguson, two Premier League managers, drank and chatted together. The game has already passed, with Tottenham beating Manchester United and winning the FA Cup – and it's no surprise that United can beat Tottenham at the level of the season.

After the game, Li Bin also invited Ferguson to have a drink with himself. Ferguson knew that such an invitation was a show off by Li Bin and a show of favor by Li Bin, in the past, if someone dared to do so, he would be regarded as a challenge, but now, in the face of such an invitation, he has no possibility of refusing - Li Bin has already challenged him, and he has also won.

Looking at the cold rain outside the window, Ferguson's mood was as old and heavy as his age. He has always asked himself that he is a very confident and combative person, but this season, he tried his best and failed to achieve the results he expected, and in the end, two runners-up, one semi-final, that is, all the gains, also made Ferguson sigh.

Although it is said, the media still praises him, thinking that it is not easy for Manchester United's current squad to get such a result. However, Ferguson himself knows that the current Manchester United is gradually starting to decline, while Tottenham is gradually going uphill, these two completely different directions will make the future competition between Manchester United and Tottenham more difficult.

Anyway, it's a little unwilling......

"It's been two years, so why bother talking about him?" Li Bin just smiled at his words, did not refute them, and did not agree with them. Tottenham is the winner now, and since it is the winner, Li Bin is also willing to be generous, "Moreover, this is also the Jazz, you have taken the wrong path, if you have not taken the wrong road, we will not be able to sit here and drink now." ”

"Maybe...... If you can really beat Barcelona and win this title, then this is your third Champions League, right? The third Champions League! It's amazing, if only I could have won three Champions Leagues. Ferguson sighed in praise before continuing to speak, "Moreover, if you win this Champions League, your team will really be a giant...... It's really enviable, it's only been three years, and it's become a giant team. ”

"It's just luck, it's still far from your achievements." Li Bin smiled.

"Whether it's luck or not, you know better than I do, I'm not old and confused, and I don't need to listen to your flattery. It's true that the honors you have won surpass mine in some places, do you think that I will be so jealous that I will not admit it? Ferguson gave Li Bin a look, "I'm not that stingy." How difficult it is to become a giant, I know better than anyone else. Your team has to be careful, don't think that if you win two titles, you have everything, trust me, other teams will try their best to hollow out your team, you have to be careful. You're no better than when I rose in the 90s, when I had a higher salary in the Premier League, and although the level was poor, you could still poach people. You can't do it now, although your tactics are very good, but you must raise more players than others, negotiate the salary level, so that everyone is satisfied, and you can't let the team spend too much money, this is not an easy thing, you have to be careful yourself, otherwise, your team will fall on the accident. ”

"I'll be careful."

"Also, be careful of La Liga and the team next door to us poaching people. They have money, and if they have money, they can poach people. Even if your team has good results, you have a lot of money and a lot of fame, and you will still replace a lot of things. Your players are not fools, they will consider leaving when they see that there is money. If you don't handle it well, if you don't handle it well, the departure of one person may cause a series of problems, and the whole team will be separated, and you will not be able to lead the team to play.

"I'll take notice."

Li Bin and Ferguson said this, the two of them can obviously be regarded as enemies, and it can even be said that they are fighting for the hegemony of the league, but when the two of them were chatting, the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious. Ferguson kept giving Li Bin all kinds of advice, telling him what to pay attention to and what to do in a dominant team. These things are supposed to be Ferguson's experience, and they should not be said, but Ferguson did not reserve anything when he said it.

"I know you're a smart man, and even if I don't say it, you're ready for every step of the way. I'm telling you this, in fact, it's just to remind you that you must have already made plans yourself, right? ”

Ferguson's question made Li Bin nod, "Yes, I thought about it." Some of our players can't wait to leave. After the Champions League final, I don't think Thiago Silva will stay, and again, up front, I think Reus may offer to leave and go back to Germany, he's a Borussia Dortmund fan and will definitely go back when he sees the team revived. Carroll and Sturridge, these two guys, Liverpool have already made an offer to me, and I don't think I'm going to force them to keep anymore, but I'm going to let them go. Then there are Janas and Lennon, the former wants to go somewhere else and play for two years, and the latter ......"

"It's me who wants to buy it, and the media is not talking nonsense."

"I'll let him go." Li Bin nodded, "His contribution to Tottenham is not small, there is no need to embarrass him." There should be no one else but them - at least not this season. ”

"But there will be later."

"Yes. Yaya still thinks that there is little money, Tottenham is now giving him a weekly salary of 170,000, 40,000 more than Suarez in second place, but he still doesn't do it, I think, keep him for another season, and then, if he is willing to go to Manchester City, let him go - he should also earn money for two years. Cavani is playing better and better now, and he is becoming more and more dissatisfied with his position, and if he wants to get the absolute main force, maybe I can't meet his requirements, but I can't, so I will stay for another year and let him go. Besides, Bale's ambition is also growing day by day, but he is a youth academy and may stay longer, Piszczek also wants to return to the Bundesliga, Bayern seems to be a little interesting to him...... Indeed, once the team has played well, there will be a lot of people who poach your team. ”

"But you're ready?"

"Of course, next year, if I sell Carroll and Sturridge to Liverpool, I can get back 50 million, send Thiago Silva to Paris, I can get 40 million, and then, if I sell Reus, Lennon will make up for me a little bit, and I will be able to have a budget of 150 million. With so much money, I can naturally buy quite a few people. Little Lucas in Brazil, I finally have the money to buy it. At the back, I want to buy Raphael Varane from Ligue 1 and then add Boateng and we have players who can play for a long time. As for the strikers, I've already signed Piszczek's hometown Rawandowski and then I can find a fast horse player in England, it's not difficult...... Actually, I can make a lot of money. As for next year, I can also buy other players to replenish after letting Yaya go, including Croatia, Spain, and France. It's the same with wings, I'm also interested in a French winger and the football we play won't disappoint you. ”

Ferguson was teaching Li Bin earnestly, and Li Bin also explained all his plans to Ferguson and Pan. When the two of them were chatting, they had already said almost all of Tottenham's future plans, which would surprise anyone who sounded, but here, Li Bin said without hesitation.

"You're not afraid, I'll rob you of people?" Ferguson asked, looking up.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, I dare to say it here, just because you're on the wrong path. I can even tell you plainly, Sizzle: one of the people I'm going to poach is Pogba from your club. However, I just told Le, what can you do? Will you be able to keep him? You can't, because he doesn't fit your lewd style of play, and he can't grow up with your way of playing like this - you know, I know, he knows, what are you fighting with me? In the same way, you've been fancy Varane for a long time, right? But what's the use of just looking at it? Your team, there's no way to compete with me. I'm famous enough to get them to come to my team. ”

You're on the wrong track – that's what Li Bin is telling Ferguson.

Between the words of the two people, behind the warmth of the veins, Ferguson's Manchester United lost, and he can only watch Tottenham rise now, but he is still unwilling. He wanted to rely on his words to find Li Bin's weaknesses, his words were all kinds of temptations, Ferguson wanted to know how far Li Bin's plan was from the outside world, and even, wanted to use his words to warn Li Bin that his plan was not feasible, and Li Bin did not hesitate to tell Ferguson that he not only thought far enough, but also high enough that Ferguson could not even destroy it - he also told Ferguson that his plan was absolutely feasible.

This is a confrontation between the old and new bar owners.

"I know that it's not easy for a team to become a big club, and it always takes a lot of hard work to make your team stronger. However, I don't have a long-term plan. I think my team might continue to run rampant for another year next year. But after that year, the generational change will sink my team a little bit, maybe Manchester City or maybe Chelsea, will take my place, and I'll develop a new generation of players and take them to the big stage. I think in '14-16 my team will gradually improve, and after 16 years my team will be quite strong, and at that point, perhaps, it will be the second peak of my team - but alas, at that time, you will not be in the Premier League again. ”

Li Bin said everything very calmly, he knew that all this was inevitable in the future.

"Not necessarily, maybe I'll still be holding on by then."

Li Bin smiled and didn't argue with him again.

Ferguson himself knew that no one would believe his jokes, he laughed self-deprecatingly, and then spoke, "Lee, you are a smart person, I believe that the future of Tottenham will definitely rise." Perhaps, missing out on letting you take over Manchester United was the biggest mistake of my life...... But what is there to say, it's in the past and I can only hope that one day in the future, you will have a cheating with Tottenham and maybe come to Manchester United...... I hope that day, because I believe that you will succeed with Manchester United. ”

Since it can't be stopped, then, it's also a way to make friends. Ferguson knows that after today, the rise of Tottenham is an inevitable thing, then, he will leave some future possibilities for Manchester United.

"Who knows what's next?" Li Bin didn't say anything to death, what's wrong with having one more way out?

"Don't you know? I thought you could really be like a god and know everything about the future. ”

"How is that possible? I don't know that much. If I have to say I know, I only know one thing: soon, my team will play against Barcelona and I have to win that game. ”
