"The current football environment is terrible!"

Ferguson faced the large window of his office on the second floor of Old Trafford, facing one of the fans of Old Trafford, and turned his back to the guests sitting in the office, and sighed to an old man, "I really feel so tired, so tired, I need to rest!" ”

Everyone knows that Ferguson has announced that he will retire at the end of this season, and the only suspense is who can be his successor, once some people said it was Mourinho, but the Portuguese is now in charge of Stamford Bridge, and some people think it is Moyes, but Moyes can lead Manchester United to a bloody way in the Premier League?

Ferguson is not stupid, he knows very well that Moyes has always been moving towards him, consciously or unconsciously, for example, he will run back to Scotland from England just to listen to Ferguson, or he will attend a coaching training with Ferguson, or he will take some opportunity to learn from Ferguson.

These things happen to the juniors, in fact, it is a very normal thing, so Ferguson has a very good impression of Moyes, and even believes that if the football environment in the Premier League is still the same at the beginning of the century, or the semi-finals in the early years, then he will definitely do his best to support Moyes to coach Manchester United.

The problem is that the Premier League is full of unpredictable competition.

With formidable opponents such as Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Chelsea, Newcastle, West Ham United and Manchester City, and seasoned rivals such as Yeqiu, Benitez, Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, Claudio Ranieri and Roberto Mancini, will Moyes be able to control Manchester United?

No one can give an answer, because David Moyes has not had any experience with a big club even now, and coaching a big club is a completely different world from coaching a team like Everton.

Therefore, whether it is for the sake of Manchester United or for the sake of Moyes, he should not be allowed to take over Manchester United.

"Actually, you're not old, you're much older than you, so why rush to retire?" Pep Guardiola stood up with a smile.

Originally, Ferguson invited him to drink with Ye Qiu, but Ye Qiu stayed in this office for less than five minutes, and then found a reason to escape, and now the whole world knows that he can't drink, and Ferguson has made it clear that he wants to recover the debt on the court at the wine table, so he doesn't hurry up and run for his life?

Ferguson shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm too tired, the current coaching environment is too tired and tired compared to back then, I'm an old bone, I don't want to continue to bear such pressure, so I retire quickly." ”

Pep Guardiola smiled, he didn't know what to say, he had a lot of respect for Ferguson, not only because when he was in trouble at Barcelona, Ferguson helped him and almost brought him to Manchester United, if he had come to Manchester United, there would have been nothing to do with Veron.

But then I don't know why something changed, and finally Manchester United chose Veron, and Guardiola went to Serie A, but even when Guardiola encountered a drug scandal in Serie A, Ferguson strongly supported the Spaniards, so for Ferguson, whether it was gratitude or respect for the glory of Ferguson's career, he respected this old man very much.

"You know what? Nowadays the fans are getting very impatient, but they don't understand how the team works, and sometimes I even think that if they are allowed to run a club, it won't be long before even Manchester United will go bankrupt! After saying that, Ferguson himself smiled helplessly.

In fact, many times, fans obviously don't understand how football clubs operate.

It's as if all the top teams in the world have run successes, and there are basically no fanatical fans, such as Inter Milan's Moratti, although from an emotional point of view, he has succeeded, except for the emotional and these few trophies behind the phonegate, he has almost nothing to say about success.

As many people often say, the operation of a team does not happen overnight, but the problem is that fans often have a very urgent mentality to succeed in the shortest possible time.

Especially in the past decade, with the acceleration of the information age, this eagerness has become more and more obvious.

Of course, there are also consequences of changes in the football environment.

"Before Florentino took charge of Real Madrid, no one knew that the original recruitment of superstars and the use of commercial development could bring such a huge and amazing change to the team, and he made the whole football world shine, as if opening up a whole new world and opening up a whole new horizon!"

Even if Pep Guardiola is a fan of Barcelona and a sworn enemy of Real Madrid, he has to admit that Florentino's impact on the football world can be described as mixed, and it is difficult to define whether his business model is good or bad.

said that he was not good because he brought a so-called superstar effect, which was different from the superstar gathering of the chairman of the Bernabeu back then, and now this is the information age, the era of national hype, where can it be compared back then?

Saying that he is good, he has made all the teams pay more attention to commercial development than ever before, which has greatly expanded the scope of the team's business.

Ye Qiu once mentioned a problem to him, he said that Tottenham Hotspur's Ministry of Commerce had invested three million euros to conduct a very detailed business survey around the world, wanting to understand the potential of Tottenham Hotspur's global business development, and the final result made Tottenham Hotspur very, very satisfied.

So, they are now starting to reform and restructure the commercial sponsorship system, they are starting to divide them into regions, and they are targeting different marketing models and strategies in each region, attracting hundreds of sponsors, which can increase Tottenham's commercial revenue by 100 million pounds a year.

In other words, if the full operation is successful, Tottenham Hotspur's entire commercial income will be close to Arsenal's entire income, and it will become the football club with the highest commercial income in the world, and even a sports club.

And under this operating mechanism, the influence of stars, especially top stars, is crucial!

Ye Qiu also said that the main reason why Real Madrid's operation has encountered a bottleneck is that they have superstars and are attractive, but the results are not ideal, and the results can give consumers a sense that I am the strongest, the best, that kind of illusion, while Manchester United is the opposite, the Red Devils in the early days of the rise of Tottenham Hotspur, the results were quite good, but sell Cristiano? After Ronaldo, there is a lack of influential superstars.

There is no doubt that Tottenham Hotspur are forging their own business path from Real Madrid to Manchester United, so they have made huge breakthroughs and improvements in the team's income almost every year, not only because of their outstanding results, but also because of their star stars.

"Ye Qiu is indeed a wizard, when he first arrived, led Chelsea to rise strongly, won the Champions League in the first season, completely changed the development concept of the football world, he made everyone clearly aware that football does not have to go forward step by step, it does not have to be step-by-step, the original huge capital can be used in the shortest time, to improve the strength of a team."

Speaking of this, Ferguson shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You look at the current Premier League, Manchester City, Newcastle, West Ham United, Liverpool...... Almost all teams are following the model that Ye Qiu created in Chelsea back then, with huge capital investment, introducing powerful stars, transforming the team's first-team strength, improving the competitiveness of the first-team team, and making a difference in the Premier League and Europe as quickly as possible, at least to gain a firm foothold, so as to enhance the team's image and influence. ”

"According to this model, the media and fans, as well as the giant teams in the mouths of netizens on the Internet, can almost be mass-produced wholesale, and a giant club can be created in three or five years, which is simply a dream platform for those big consortia, so so many big consortia have poured into the Premier League, do you think it is accidental?"

Guardiola didn't think about this layer, but he found that after Ferguson's combing, it seems to be the case, especially in today's Premier League, which has attracted a lot of attention, far surpassing La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga, and can be called the world's first league.

The stars brought by the big consortium have greatly enhanced the competitiveness of the league, enhanced the attention of the league, and also enhanced the commercial development and influence of the league, making the influence of the Premier League and the attention of fans more and more high, and it seems to have embarked on a virtuous circle of path, but the only trouble is debt.

Of course, it's good for the team and the league, but it's a nightmare for the manager, because the pressure is so great that the fans don't care about you and they just complain that you can't win the title.

"Manchester United in the past few years, some of them have not been able to adapt to such a change, we are still immersed in the old business model, but you must not think that we have no money to bring in reinforcements, it is that outsiders do not understand to say this, in fact, we are not without money, we are just waiting for a manager!"

Ferguson's words made Guardiola completely stunned, and he suddenly realized that an important reason why Manchester United has not made a big deal in recruiting is to prepare for Ferguson's retirement in advance, and the reason is very simple, the players introduced by Ferguson, his successor may not be used, which will lead to a result, the introduction of high prices, after Ferguson's retirement, because it does not match the style of the new coach, directly sold at a low price, and the club suffered losses.

Thinking of this, Guardiola couldn't help but think of some other things that Ye Qiu had said to him, that is, the current transfer of football clubs is irrational, except for a few teams such as Manchester United.

But at this moment, he doesn't know, is this rationality good or bad?

Perhaps for the management of Manchester United, for the Glazer family, the management of the team relies on a long-term model, they have to adopt rational thinking, and will not spend huge sums of money at every turn for the sake of one or two seasons of results, resulting in heavy losses for the team, so they would rather survive, rather wait, and wait until the right time to make a move.

As for Ferguson's successor, it also depends on the fact that if the Manchester United management can be convinced and entrusted with important tasks, he may be able to get the power of reform and reinforcements in a big way, but if not, then we have to continue to observe.

In the case of Manchester United, in addition to the front field, the middle and back fields need to be recruited, which at least has to use hundreds of millions of funds, so it is definitely not a problem for a rational investor to drag on for one or two years, two or three years.

"Have you considered coming to the Premier League?" Ferguson looked at Pep Guardiola with a smile and asked, "You should know very well that many people outside now say that a manager who has not proven himself in the Premier League is not a successful manager!" ”

Guardiola smiled, that is what netizens said, but there is always a shadow in his heart.

Ye Qiu and his Tottenham Hotspur are like an insurmountable wall, towering in front of Guardiola, before he is not sure enough to break this wall, Guardiola hopes to avoid it, at least walk around it, but one day, he will personally move this wall.

"The media outside said that you might come to Manchester City, but that shouldn't be true, right?" Ferguson asked with a smile.

Guardiola shook his head, "They were very unhappy with Mancini's results and they were in contact with me, but I couldn't find a reason to coach Manchester City, you know, I don't like teams and tactics that rely too much on one player. ”

If you are in charge of Manchester City, there is no doubt that the midfield must revolve around Yaya? Toure comes to play, the Ivory Coast midfielder is Manchester City's strongest link, but also the most unstable link, he is good, Manchester City is good, he is not good, Manchester City is also unlucky.

Pep Guardiola has just come out of Barcelona's quagmire, so how can he immediately plunge into the swamp of Manchester City?

"Come to Manchester United!" After listening to this, Ferguson smiled and sent out an invitation, "If you are willing to come to Manchester United, I will be your adviser, but I will never interfere with you to lead the team, and I can guarantee that Giggs and Scholes will retire, and the team will be completely formed around your wishes, and the club is willing to do its best to cooperate and provide generous transfer funds and time." ”

This is indeed a very generous treatment, Ferguson as a consultant, Guardiola will be more confident and confident in challenging Ye Qiu, and has ample transfer funds and team time, which also means that Guardiola will not be dismissed because of poor results in the short term, as for the retirement of Giggs and Scholes, it also means that Manchester United will shape Guardiola into a special one of Manchester United.

As a traditional giant in the Premier League, Manchester United can give Guardioa such a bargaining chip, and Ferguson himself comes forward as a lobbyist, which is not insincere, but there is still a problem, that is, Ferguson!

As Pep Guardiola has considered in the past, going to Manchester United, he will only live in the shadow of Ferguson, he is a monument that cannot be surpassed in the short term, so Mourinho will accept Chelsea's offer.

But on the other hand, if you can work with Ferguson, it will be more likely to defeat Tottenham Hotspur and Ye Qiu, and Guardiola can't wait to quickly eliminate this shadow in his heart and complete self-redemption and breakthrough, after all, he is not willing to be pressed by Ye Qiu forever.

"Let me think about it, Sir!" Pep Guardiola said with a smile.

"Will you really think about it?" Ferguson asked cautiously.

Guardiola nodded, "Really! ”

…………

Tottenham Hotspur came away from Manchester United, losing 3-0, which also made the north London side look almost invincible in the Premier League, and many even believe that Tottenham Hotspur are stronger overall this season than last season.

It is mainly reflected in the team's rotation mechanism.

So far this season, Tottenham Hotspur have played six Premier League games, one Champions League group stage, one Community Shield, one UEFA Super Cup and one League Cup, and in ten games, Tottenham Hotspur's first team has deducted 24 players from outside the third goalkeeper, all of which have been given the opportunity to play, each of which has made at least two appearances.

Ye Qiu's rotation policy for the new season was already evident in the early part of the season, when everyone thought it was Tottenham Hotspur considering the fitness of some of the players participating in the Olympics, but it turned out to be a conscious act, as rotation can ensure Tottenham's ability to play consistently and fight on multiple fronts.

After beating Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford, Tottenham Hotspur went to France to challenge the defending French champion Montpellier away, but after Tottenham Hotspur's rotation, Messi scored a hat-trick, Drogba made a pass and a shot, and Ribery also provided two assists, and the team beat Montpellier 4-1 away, winning two consecutive group games.

The victory of two consecutive games has made Tottenham Hotspur win a full house, and even many European media have praised it, believing that Tottenham Hotspur's super strength has made the group of death no suspense, but even so, according to the data given by UEFA, the first two rounds of the Champions League group stage have the highest ratings, and the most popular fans are Tottenham Hotspur's two games.

This also indirectly proves the strong influence and appeal of Tottenham Hotspur.

Back in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur welcomed Lambert's Aston Villa.

Playing on multiple fronts in a row, and at home again, the north London team rotated the starting line-up, while Aston Villa played away from home based on defense, and retreated away from home without the ball, and it was very satisfying to get a point.

Tottenham Hotspur's attack was indeed contained by the stubborn Aston Villa, but it could contain the front, but it couldn't prevent the back, Cavani once pulled out of the big penalty area, knocked the ball back, and inserted Kyle behind? Walker scored a right-footed volley from the right side of the penalty area, and there was a world wave nearly 20 meters away, 1:0!

In the second half, Eriksen made a diagonal pass, Pogba rushed to the front of the penalty area, and directly volleyed a powerful shot, scoring again, 2:0!

With these two goals, Tottenham Hotspur beat visiting Aston Villa 2-0 at home.

In this regard, Lambert was helpless, saying that his team contained the attacking trident of Tottenham Hotspur's front, but could not prevent their back insertion, the players have performed well enough, but the blame can only be blamed on Tottenham Hotspur's attack is too strong.

There is a saying that if the West does not shine and the East is bright, it cannot be prevented! With two assists, the team beat Montpellier 4-1 away, making it two wins in a row from the group.
