Volume 1 Chapter 623 Lonely Old Man Ferguson

Some say that from Manchester United, fans can feel the spirit of a heavy industry era.

Passionate, active, united, and tenacious, today's Manchester United is interpreting the spirit of the heavy industry era that many people regard as outdated in the information age.

Therefore, many Manchester United fans even use this to criticize the sworn rival Manchester City, they think that Manchester United can better reflect the spirit of Manchester, a glorious heavy industrial city in the past, and Manchester City has always been associated with decay, and has been bought by people in recent years, and has become a slave to money.

Of course, Manchester City fans also countered this, arguing that Manchester United's high commercialization has reduced the club to a money-making machine, and they have to admit that the reason why Manchester United still has this spirit of the heavy industry era is mainly because of their manager, the soul of the team, Alex Ferguson.

Many people call him a coach in front of Ferguson, but behind his back, they call him a Scottish boatman.

It's hard to tell whether these people call him out of good intentions or in bad faith, but you must know that in the peak period of British heavy industry, shipbuilding is undoubtedly the pride of the British, and it is also regarded as an industry that can best reflect the strength of British heavy industry, and from Ferguson's body, you can also see many traces of the peak of British industry.

Even many people are analyzing Ferguson's character, thinking that many of his reasons for getting angry are completely untenable, and even simply unreasonable, but the problem is that he can always put on a look that makes you think he is very reasonable.

This is very similar to the image of a group of workers who were busy on the assembly line of the factory all day long.

Some people say that heavy industry created the Manchester United empire, because the predecessor of Manchester United, the Newtonsey Club, was formed by a group of railway workers, and from the day of the birth of this team, team and passion were injected into the soul of this team, even if Newtonses was later reorganized into Manchester United, it still could not change all this.

Even in 1999, when Manchester United was almost bought by Murdoch, Manchester United fans angrily announced a defection and formed a new team, the Red Rebels, all of which seemed to interpret a kind of worker spirit.

Old Trafford was also built at the height of Manchester's industry, and its surroundings are not residential areas, but rather industrial areas of low-rise factories, warehouses and train stations, unlike Anfield Stadium and Arsenal's Wembley Stadium, or Tottenham Hotspur's White Hart Lane.

Standing in his office on the second floor of the main entrance of Old Trafford, he looked through the light green glass curtain wall and saw the statue of Sir Busby outside the club's fan shop below, as if he was welcoming the bustling fans to Old Trafford.

The statue is crowded with people, but few people look up to catch a glimpse of the legend who has brought countless glorious deeds to the club, and perhaps only the casual tourists who come here will take a picture in front of this statue, but the local Manchester United fans are indifferent to it.

"The more I live, the more I feel that I am so strange to this world," Ferguson sighed for no reason

Recently, Manchester United has not been at peace in the team, Lasso Diarra began to talk about a salary increase after a season of outstanding performance, Sneijder after a peak season and the World Cup, his form has also declined, and it is said that there are several bad news, but he was pressed by Manchester United and did not announce it.

And Tevez, the damn greedy Horabuchin, is still clamoring for a raise, and even frequently uses the media to put pressure on him, all of which makes United's luxury car look full of problems.

Of course, it is impossible for any team to be without problems, it just depends on whether the problem is big or not

"This is the so-called generation gap" Ye Qiu smiled, the two stood side by side in front of the translucent glass curtain wall, looking at the Manchester United fans pouring out of the Old Trafford stadium like a tide below, there were too many people, Ye Qiu was a little envious.

"You know what? Sometimes I wonder, what are young people thinking about today? I feel a little bit unsure of their thoughts now, and in a few years, not more, five years, I'm afraid I'll have to go out with them. ”

This is a terrible thing, especially for companies like Ye Qiu and Ye Technology, young people are their biggest potential users, and once they decouple from young people, the end result is that they are eliminated by a new batch of young people and replaced by new companies that can cater to this group of young people.

Therefore, Ye Qiu has always attached great importance to keeping pace with the times, adjusting and progressing.

Tottenham Hotspur is relatively free of such problems, which is the biggest advantage of football and sports.

"When I first came to Manchester more than 20 years ago, the people here were still working hard, they were working hard, they were working hard and creating their own lives with their sweat and hard work, but they were coming to Old Trafford and shouting for football, it was the perfect time for men"

"Twenty years later, social welfare is higher, but the government is burdened with a heavy and expensive price, although many people in Manchester have gone to work, they don't need to worry about life, they have begun to stay away from steam, away from sweat, away from pollution, and even began to pursue fashion, party everywhere to have fun, and even many people with government welfare and social security assistance have shouted the slogan of drinking champagne for breakfast."

"What's more, they're not crazy about football anymore, even though they still come to this stadium every game, but they've become so apathetic that I'm sure a lot of them can't name the starting eleven, is that a sadness?"

Ye Qiu has not experienced the perfect era that Ferguson said, but he had also suffered and suffered in his homeland in his previous life, and his parents have been teaching him a truth since he was a child, first bitter and then sweet, there is no free lunch in this world, and all good life needs to be created with effort and sweat.

Ye Qiu is not a philosopher, nor does he have such profound thoughts, he can't even tell whether this has something to do with capitalism in the bones, or whether it has something to do with the Western media and public opinion environment, because they emphasize individualism very much, and the most typical idea is that as long as I live well, I don't care about the death of other people or even the whole country

It is clear that there is a great deal of reflection on this new wave of thought, including Ferguson, but this reflection has so far been too weak and may not work at all, because the current British government, regardless of the party, serves only one purpose, and that is the vote

"It's a time when individualism has been magnified so much, and more and more people are starting to abandon teamwork, to promote individual heroism, to become selfish, and sometimes I even wonder what would happen if they were so fond of individuals, if they were to be thrown on a desert island and live alone?" Ferguson was clearly angry in his heart.

Ye Qiu couldn't help but think of a movie by Hollywood actor Tom Hanks [Desert Island Aftermath].

When watching this movie, many people will feel that this movie describes how a person survives in the most difficult environment, and thinks that this is a movie that expounds individualism, but in Ye Qiu's opinion, this is not the case at all.

When he returned to civilized society after four years of loneliness on a desert island, where time seemed to be frozen, he found that everything had changed, the world had not stopped because of his departure, his job had been replaced by someone else, his fiancΓ©e had become someone else's wife, and everything had never stopped for him.

This is the end of the movie, it is actually to tell everyone who has watched this movie a truth, maybe you alone can do a lot, and even create miracles, but the earth will not stop because of you, and human society will not stop because of you, you only have two choices, either integrate into civilized society, or return to a lonely desert island.

In the eyes of many people, Ferguson may be a very arrogant and difficult person to get along with, but Ye Qiu knows very well that Ferguson is actually a very ordinary, flesh-and-blood person, but many times he always feels that he needs to protect something important in his heart through a gesture.

Perhaps, these things have been regarded as worthless obsolescence in the mainstream values of society.

And he was like a lone fighter, defending these things

Ye Qiu is not as pessimistic as Ferguson, he is more positive, he thinks, since there are still so many people who like football as a team sport, it proves that in the bones of many people, maybe they will worship individualism in their mouths, but they are still inclined to teamwork in their bones, because human history is created by teamwork.

"By the way, let's not talk about anything else, I want to discuss something with you"

Ye Qiu really doubts now that Ferguson has gone to Sichuan to learn to change his face.

Ya, a lonely old man who looked sad and miserable just now, has now turned into a treacherous and cunning shameless profiteer, and the transformation in this process is too fast and surprising.

"Say, I'll listen" Ye Qiu returned to the office and sat down.

"Sell me Lucas Mora" Ferguson walked over with a smiling face and poured wine for Ye Qiu enthusiastically.

When Ye Qiu heard this, he immediately laughed, "I know that you old fox is not so kind, you lost the game, you are in a bad mood, and you still invite me to drink?" How can there be such a good thing in the world? ”

Tottenham Hotspur has just beaten Manchester United 0 away at Old Trafford, with two assists from Ribery, goals from Messi and Cavani, and established their Premier League leader position with nine consecutive wins, not only getting ten consecutive wins in the new season, but also extending Tottenham Hotspur's unbeaten Premier League record to 22 games.

The last time they lost was back in February of last season, when Tottenham Hotspur lost one game in the entire 0910 season, that was to Wolves, and since then, Tottenham have not lost again, and are now unbeaten in 22 games.

Lucas Mola's performance at Ajax is indeed quite good, and Ajax has specially carved and cultivated Lucas Mola, Bobby Harms has also instructed him many times, and Tottenham Hotspur arranges personnel to Amsterdam every month to inspect his training and physical condition, which shows the importance attached to him.

Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Arsenal, the three teams have had mutual non-poaching agreements, and this agreement currently even includes Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle, West Ham United, Manchester City and other teams are involved, after all, this is good for all teams in the Premier League, everyone does not poach each other, if necessary, you can apply for a transfer in person, and carry out transparent operations, which is good for everyone.

"You know it's impossible," Ye Qiu shook his head without hesitation, "And don't you already have Nani?" ”

Ferguson didn't get angry after hearing this, he smiled, "Okay, change one, Nick Powell or Januzaj, you give me one" After a pause, Ferguson said as if in order to increase the chips: "You are now full of talent in the midfield, and it is a waste for these two players to stay at Tottenham Hotspur."

Nick Powell is now 16 years old, Januzaj is 15 years old, and they are both currently playing in the youth team, and they are both doing well, plus left-back Luke Shaw and right-back Karum Chambers, Tottenham Hotspur's Hl8 youth team can be described as full of talent, and they are invincible in the entire Premier League.

"Are you old and changen?" Ye Qiu didn't answer and asked, "They still have some chances at Tottenham Hotspur, but if they come to your Manchester United, according to your old character, they will have to stay up for at least another three or four years before they have a chance to be in the first team, what do you think?" ”

As soon as Ferguson saw Ye Qiu's smiling face, he knew that there was no play, "That's not what to talk about?" ”

"Of course...... No" Ye Qiu just wanted to disgust him, and stood up with a smile, "This wine is not good today, I will invite you to drink good wine in London another day" After speaking, he waved his hand towards Ferguson and left.

"Why did that old fellow in Ferguson suddenly invite you for a drink?"

In the bus leaving the Old Trafford stadium, Mauro Tasotti and Roland O Shepas both chased Ye Qiu and asked.

Obviously, Ferguson's character is clear to everyone, that is, it is not profitable to be early.

"He wants to dig into our corner," Ye Qiu said with a frown.

"Who?" Luo Fatzi is the most short-guarding, this guy has the best relationship with the players, and he can't see the team being poached.

"Lucas Mora, or Nick Powell and Januzaj, this old guy is quite ambitious

"It's too unusual, you can't promise him" Roland was even more excited than Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu knows in his heart that a large part of Manchester United's so-called youth training is actually obtained by this kind of poaching semi-finished product, of course, Manchester United itself also has a strong ability to cultivate youth training, which is very similar to Tottenham Hotspur.

But now Tottenham Hotspur's scouting team and youth training channels are obviously much better than other teams such as Manchester United, just like a French midfielder Mwila, who is now 20 years old and from Rennes in Ligue 1, but everyone who wants to get Mwila must first ask Tottenham Hotspur.

The reason is very simple, Tottenham Hotspur and Rennes have a cooperative relationship, and they have Rennes' player priority, that is, at the same price, Tottenham Hotspur has priority, and if other teams don't want to compete for a high price, it's best to negotiate with Tottenham Hotspur first.

There are also Ajax, Santos, Anderlecht, Southampton, and Tottenham Hotspur's cooperative teams are all teams with strong youth training, and Southampton is very likely to be promoted to the Premier League again with the development momentum of this season, and according to Ye Qiu's idea, he must do his best to help Southampton gain a foothold in the Premier League.

The advantage of this is that once Southampton has established themselves in the Premier League, some of Tottenham's talented young players can go to Southampton to work in the Premier League, and once they have achieved results, they can return to Tottenham Hotspur from Southampton on loan.

You know, this kind of training of young rookies is very popular in the Premier League and European football, for example, Beckham was once loaned out by Manchester United, and there are many rookie players in the Arsenal team on loan.

The reason why Ye Qiu came forward to invite Adrianse to take over Southampton, in addition to helping Southampton complete the creation and construction of the continental tactical style system, a very important reason is that Ye Qiu hopes that Adrianse will Dutch Southampton's style, so that it is closer to Tottenham Hotspur.

In such a situation, Tottenham Hotspur's players will be more valuable when they go to Southampton for training, and they will be better integrated with the team when they return to the team.

In addition to Southampton, European teams such as Ajax, Rennes and Anderlecht are very ideal training venues for young players, and Ye Qiu's intention is also very obvious, using these partners to provide and train a steady supply of talent for Tottenham Hotspur and ensure Tottenham Hotspur's competitive strength.

In the short term, such a system has not been able to play an effect for the time being, after all, the cooperation between the two sides has not been very long, but once the time is long, the advantages of this cooperation will be reflected one after another, just like the current Manchester United and Arsenal, their team has never lacked demons and cattle, it is provided by those cooperative clubs, which makes their youth training strength is also very good.

Tottenham Hotspur In addition to this way of youth training, Ye Qiu is also working hard to create and promote the talent day selection activities, which will also become one of the supply chains of Tottenham Hotspur youth training talents in the future.

In the past few years, in addition to bringing results to Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu has also been working hard to build a solid foundation for the team, including a top-class home stadium, a large and complete youth training and talent supply system, and an excellent business operation system.

Now, these efforts are showing results, and all Ye Qiu needs to do is to further consolidate these achievements and move towards his ultimate goal
