Chapter 144 Kevin De Bruyne
Ferguson has no time to reflect on the "Coach of the Year" and "Best Contribution Award" he won, and he also has to lead Manchester United to play the most important game - the Champions League final.
In the past 35 years of coaching career, Ferguson has participated in the Champions League final more than once. Manchester United is a frequent visitor to the Champions League final. Many players in the team have experience in the Champions League final, so Manchester United still has experience in dealing with the final, but before the war There is still some nervousness in the team. After all, it is the most important game in Europe. At least 100 million spectators will watch the game in time, and those experienced stars will feel nervous.
Ferguson hired a psychiatrist for the team, and let the team do some easy training before the war to adjust their physical and mental state.
For five days in a row, Manchester United are in closed training.
Two days before the decisive battle, Manchester United did the last training, and then the club held a press conference to the outside world. Ferguson and several important players appeared in front of reporters.
At first it was the press officer's speech, then Ferguson stood up and said something about the confidence of the team, and then it was the reporter's turn to ask questions freely.
After a "Manchester Sports News" reporter cared about Manchester United's preparations, it was the Catalan reporter's turn to speak. The Catalan reporter had just arrived from Barcelona. He stood up and spoke. He said, "Sir Ferguson, congratulations on you just won the coach of the year. You have achieved great achievements in Manchester United for more than 20 years. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are the best manager in the world... "
The compliment made Ferguson smile. Before he could understand what the other party meant, the reporter asked, "So have you considered retiring recently? After all, you are over 70 years old. Maybe a Champions League winner will retire. The best gift!"
Ferguson was a little stunned.
Even though the Scot has been coaching for more than 30 years, it was the first time he heard the other side's media say that his team could win the championship. He felt something was wrong, but he thought the media was concerned about his retirement, so he said, "I I thought about retiring a few years ago, but now, I think I can still work for one or two years. Now, the most worrying thing for me is that there is no qualified successor..."
Ferguson's words were quite satisfactory, expressing his concern for Manchester United, and also expressing that he was unwilling to "occupy a position" all the time.
what happened?
Ferguson was a little confused, and after a while, the venue calmed down.
By this time Ferguson was clear.
It turns out... it's that damn Chinese!
Ferguson knew that he was being tricked by the Catalan media just now! Where is the other side complimenting himself, just wondering if he is going to retire at the end of the season!
But the source of everything is that damn Chinese. I thought that after that guy left Manchester City and returned to distant China, he would not have anything to do with that guy... I didn't expect it!
That guy went to Spain to coach Atlético de Madrid, didn't participate in European competitions, but still disgusted himself!
Ferguson tickles his teeth with hatred, "Bastard! Damn it!"
However, the Catalan media were delighted. It has been proven countless times that Wansheng's 'prophecy' is very accurate. Wansheng said that if Ferguson retired after the season, then Manchester United would be able to win the Champions League, but vice versa... the championship. It belongs to Barcelona.
Ferguson said it would take two more years, which means Barcelona will be the winner!
The Catalan media suddenly felt that they had a favorable impression of Wansheng.
This Chinese is still very cute!
That night, the entire Manchester United team took the bus to London to prepare for the decisive battle with Barcelona at Wembley Stadium, but the media across Europe began to link Wan Sheng and Ferguson’s words.
The Spanish media motivated reports to express a meaning - Barcelona will win the European Championship!
The English media are a little silent. They also want to express their views in support of Manchester United, but how can they refute Wansheng's remarks?
Those media who have tasted greatness all feel that 'you shouldn't make judgments so early', otherwise... that guy's words will come true again?
They feel tangled.

Wan Sheng didn't know how Ferguson felt, and even if he knew him, he would gloat in misfortune.
The Champions League final between Manchester United and Barcelona had nothing to do with Wansheng, but Central TV still invited him as a guest to explain the game live in London.
Wan Sheng originally wanted to be dismissed on the grounds that he was busy with work, but he originally planned to go back to London with Anita first, and participate in a football match commentary without delaying time.
In addition, the former disciple, Manchester City's main goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei, has also become an invited guest. It is not bad to meet Wang Xiaolei on the Central TV program and be a guest to explain the game together.
Wansheng finally agreed.
But before going to London, Wansheng still has to deal with the club's affairs, and the top priority is to find a suitable full-back to replace Reyes.
In the past few days, Wansheng has checked a lot of information on the wing and avant-garde. Some are more suitable, but it is impossible to transfer over, and some have good abilities, but they are not suitable at all.
In the end, it was a staff member of the club's transfer department who reported a piece of news that caught the attention of Wansheng.
"The Premier League Chelsea Club is operating to bring a Belgian teenager to Stamford Bridge!"
Chelsea's favorite teenager?
Wan Sheng was immediately interested, and he found the player's name - Kevin De Bruyne.
A bit of an impression, but also very unfamiliar.
Wan Sheng already knew very well that the memory of his previous life could not help him much, and the stars who could play in his memory are almost all famous by now, so he needs to discover outstanding players by himself.
Kevin De Bruyne, a name that seems to have been heard before. I don't know whether it was in the past or this life, but it should be good to have an impression. What's more, what Wan Sheng remembers most clearly is that on the eve of crossing, Belgium seemed In addition to many stars, the entire Belgian national team has even become one of the 16 teams in the European Cup with the highest physical assessment.
Among those stars, will there be this Kevin De Bruyne?
Wan Sheng did not know.
The information given by the scouts proves the excellence of Kevin De Bruyne. At the age of 7, De Bruyne started football training in Delongen, and was discovered by the scouts in Ghent from that time.
At the age of 12, De Bruyne signed with the Genk Football Club near Delongen as a member of the Genk youth academy and joined the Genk youth team two years later.
At the age of 14, De Bruyne joined the Genk youth team and was appreciated by the team coach for his outstanding performance. Therefore, in the 2008-09 season, De Bruyne was promoted to the first team.
He was only 17 at the time.
During his time with Genk's first team, De Bruyne performed exceptionally well, especially last season, De Bruyne scored 5 goals and 16 assists in 22 games, helping Genk win the Belgian First Class Championship, so it attracted It has attracted the attention of many European giants.
Now the real shots are Bayern Munich and Chelsea. Chelsea has the best chance. In order to win the talented youngster first, they have raised the transfer offer to 8.5 million pounds. This is only a 20-year-old Belgian teenager. Incredible.
After reading De Bruyne's information, Wan Sheng decided to let the club join the fight after a little thought.
One of the important reasons is that De Bruyne's performance on the wing is quite stable, and his assisting ability has been recognized a lot.
Maybe he will be able to replace Reyes, or even a better player than Reyes.
"Chelsea is not short of full-backs, they just want to buy a young player to train. We have to fight for it quickly, finalize the transfer quickly, and bring him to Madrid!"
"The Belgian genius is more inclined to come where he can show his talent!"
This is the tone Wansheng set for De Bruyne's transfer.
When it comes to buying De Bruyne, whether Bayern Munich or Chelsea operate rationally, for example, to increase the price appropriately, in order to pay hundreds of thousands of pounds less, go to detailed negotiation, Wansheng is to let the club directly increase The offer made the Genk Club satisfied, and when the competitor did not respond, the transfer was directly finalized.
This is somewhat irrational.
But as long as De Bruyne is a real genius, paying a few million euros more is not a problem. On the contrary, missing the genius because of a small amount of money will become the biggest failure.

The next day, Wan Sheng and Anita rushed to London.
That morning, Premier League club Manchester City and Atletico Madrid announced Aguero's transfer.
The official website of Manchester City announced the joining of Aguero in a high-profile manner, and also explained in detail Manchester City's 'preferential treatment' for Aguero. The transfer fee of 63 million pounds has been disclosed by the media before. Naturally, there is nothing special to say. Among them The most attractive is undoubtedly Aguero's salary contract - Aguero got a five-year contract with a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds.
"Sergio Aguero has officially become a member of Manchester City and the club has offered him a five-year contract. The 23-year-old Argentina international striker has moved from Atletico Madrid to Manchester City and will play for the team. The Dublin Super Cup on the weekend. Aguero will wear Manchester City's No. 16 for the new season."
Aguero also became the most expensive player in Manchester City's history.
"The Guardian" applauded Aguero's transfer, "From the perspective of Manchester City, the introduction of Robinho by Manchester City for a record £32.5 million in the Premier League was a sensation three years ago. At the beginning of the year, he signed Dzeko for £27 million. It also attracted absolute attention, but Robinho was just a passer-by at Manchester City, and Dzeko was far from expectations."
"Aguero is different from the above two. He is younger and more energetic. In Atlético de Madrid and the Argentine national team, Aguero has performed admirably. We believe that Aguero will become the most important player in Manchester City. Players!" (To be continued~^~)
