Chapter 99 Requests that Cannot Be Refused

Ferguson smiled, as if he was looking forward to saying something to Wan Sheng, but everyone knew that he wanted to hold Wan Sheng high, and he couldn't say anything, so he naturally lost a lot. Face, it is equivalent to helping McGuinness to get back to the scene - this old man is really not an ordinary short guard. ▲∴top▲∴dot▲∴small▲∴say,

McGuinness and Wan Sheng have a conflict, no matter what the reason is, Ferguson will definitely favor McGuinness.

Wan Sheng knew what Ferguson meant, but he remained calm.

He walked forward two games, stood in the middle of the crowd, turned his head to look around, and said, "I do have a little personal opinion on the Premier League. First of all, this is my personal opinion and does not represent Derby County. club."

Everyone watched with interest.

"I think European football in the 21st century has moved towards the era of sterling. We all know that the Premier League has developed very rapidly in the past two years, has occupied a large part of the European market, and has been able to suppress Serie A to become the world's largest league. It is not the results, but the overall income, and it is precisely because of the income that football has become more and more commercialized, and clubs with assets and abilities tend to perform better.”

Speaking of this, Wan Sheng glanced at Ferguson before continuing, "In the Premier League, Manchester United is very rich, so Manchester United can always perform well, but now is the 21st century, the new millennium has passed four years, more and more The entry of foreign capital has given many teams the capital to achieve good results. In the future Premier League, it is almost impossible for a team to monopolize the championship.”

"This season, Arsenal's record is very good, Manchester United has been relatively weak, I just told Mr. Wenger that Arsenal has the best chance to win the league title this season."

"Next season, there will be more teams that can compete, such as..." Having said that, Wan Sheng had a meal. He glanced around and looked at Abramovich who was standing in the distance, holding a glass of wine, looking over with interest, "For example, Chelsea, I think Mr. Abramovich's generous investment will be very effective, with the pound With support, they can buy better players, and they will naturally have a chance to compete for the league title if they grow stronger.”

"I personally don't think the league title this season will be Manchester United, nor will it be the next two seasons..."

Wan Sheng's expression was always solemn when he spoke.

It felt like he was speaking from his heart and not directed at anything. But what he said was absolutely aimed at Manchester United. Anyone can hear this. The key is that what he said is very reasonable. Taking the Premier League occupying the European football market, the development and competition within English football is a matter of fact. It's hard to argue against.

Hearing these words, Ferguson's face was gloomy, and the old man obviously held back a lot of anger.

Before he could react, Abramovich in the distance took the lead in applauding and came over. Wenger then applauded. Just now Wansheng talked about league competition, but focused on Arsenal and Chelsea, stomping Manchester United a few times. They all listened very comfortably.

As Ferguson's old rival, Wenger likes to see Ferguson shriveled. In the past two seasons, the two teams have played against each other. Arsenal are actually in the upper hand, but in terms of the public's response to the media, because the words are not sharp. Wenger is always the one who suffers.

And Abramovich...he spent a lot of money after acquiring Chelsea, but he couldn't buy the good players he wanted. Now almost no one is optimistic about Chelsea's prospects. This season's performance is much better than last season, but He is still a long way from competing for the league title, so when Wansheng said that he was optimistic about Chelsea in front of many elites in the football world, Abramovich's smile was very enthusiastic.

"You said it very well, and I also believe that my team will succeed." Abramovich patted Wansheng on the shoulder and said.

He was just talking to Wan Sheng, and he didn't even make eye contact with the other people standing next to him. In fact, Abramovich was able to participate in this reception, which in his opinion has lowered his status, even though he is the owner of Chelsea , but he is also the top 100 richest man in the world, the richest man in Russia, and his identity is naturally different from that of ordinary coaches. He came here just to have a look and talk to other club owners.

Hearing Wan Sheng's words, he felt refreshed and felt that it was a worthwhile trip.

"You're welcome."

Just when Wan Sheng was about to say something, he was interrupted by a loud laugh. Ferguson stood up with a big laugh and said to Wan Sheng, "Don't you think what you said is ridiculous? This season's championship is not Manchester United's, It won't be next season, won't it be next season? It's interesting, it's the first time I've heard that, so young man, I want to ask you, do you mean there will be more competition in the Premier League , so apart from Arsenal and Chelsea, are there any other teams that can compete for the title?"

Wan Sheng smiled and said, "I think yes, for example, Liverpool, as a giant in the 1980s, if Liverpool received funds, they would naturally have the opportunity to participate in the championship game. Even Liverpool's results are not bad now. Maybe they only We need to strengthen some strengths before we can participate.”

Morris, who was standing next to him, heard Wan Sheng's words and his eyes lit up. In fact, his thoughts were the same. Liverpool can enter the top four in the league every year, but they have been unable to join the competition for the league championship. What is the difference between the top four in the league and the first in the league? Woolen cloth? Just need to strengthen some strength.

Maybe...a new head coach?

Morris has long been dissatisfied with the team's head coach Houllier. Liverpool, led by Houllier, can't play well in European competitions, and domestic competitions can't compete for the championship, and this old guy still dominates the team, even He had planned to come with Houllier this time, but Houllier didn't come because he wanted to prepare for Christmas with his wife. Is Christmas preparation at home more important than attending Husky's reception? More importantly, this guy doesn't give himself any face at all... Maybe Liverpool needs some changes if they want to go further, and the change should start with the team manager.

Ferguson continued to ask, "So what about Liverpool? You are talking about strong teams. Except for Chelsea, everyone else is eligible to participate in the championship."

He just wanted to hold Wan Sheng to a dead end.

Wan Sheng said nonchalantly, "Other teams? Who knows? Teams with enough capital to form a strong team will have the opportunity to receive foreign investment in the future, but this is not fixed. I am not the spokesperson for each consortium. "I don't know which club they would like to see, but if I had to say one more team, maybe I should remind you that Derby County will also be promoted to the Premier League next season?"

Many people laughed.

It's true that Derby County went deep into the Premier League, but directly joining the championship... It's a bit funny, but everyone can see that Wansheng is a self-deprecating statement, which is purely to disgust Ferguson.

Of course they didn't know, but Wan Sheng really had this in mind.

After some entanglement, the Haskell, the master, finally came out to adjust. Perhaps more importantly, it's almost time for the good show to come to an end, and it will continue as normal, but Ferguson's Manchester United gang and Wansheng have no interaction at all, and the two sides are completely ripped apart.

In Ferguson's eyes, Wansheng is not an opponent at all, but today Wansheng really made him lose a lot of face.

Wan Sheng didn't have any good feelings for Ferguson either. This Scotsman always had a high-spirited attitude, which was really annoying.

At the next party. Wansheng had a good chat with Chelsea chairman Roman Roman Abramovich. They extended the topic from football to investment. Wansheng is not a big player in the world, but he has vision for the next ten years. Abramovich also felt that the young man in front of him had a unique vision and always had some insights that made people shine.

In fact, when Wan Sheng was chatting with Abramovich, he looked at the Russian as if he was looking at a bad guy.

He knew that Chelsea would sell players "cheaply" every season. If he can have a good relationship with Abramovich, it is still possible to buy a few stars at a low price when he transfers in the summer.

Those stars didn't do well at Chelsea. But the strength is still first-class and strong. If they can come to Derby County, they will definitely enhance the team's strength a lot.

More importantly, there is no other club in Europe that can buy stars cheaply like Chelsea.

After talking with Abramovich for a while, Wansheng got to know some other club owners and head coaches, most of whom are head coaches.

......

After the reception, Wan Sheng returned to the town of Great Derby with Mr. Gee Smith, the chairman. On the way, Smith kept complaining that Wan Sheng should not offend Ferguson. He was a very influential old guy in English football, but he was very friendly to him. Good Abramovich's approach has expressed support.

"That Russian is so rich, he can buy Derby County for a fraction of that..."

Gee Smith envied.

Wan Sheng couldn't help but roll his eyes while driving. Ji-Smith is a good man. His principle is to not offend anyone, and he is indecisive in doing things. It is probably not because Abramovich has more money, as long as he has more money. Befriending anyone, Ji-Smith will be happy, if he offends anyone, Ji-Smith will complain a few words.

This is not a relationship of objects at all, but Ji-Smith's outlook on life is like this, and it is no wonder that everything in the club is managed by Wilcox, and his chairman is completely a decoration in the office.

But this makes Wansheng satisfied. The chairman does not interfere in the affairs of the team. He and Wilcox divide the labor and cooperate. This kind of working environment still makes him satisfied.

Wan Sheng persuaded Ji-Smith, "Don't worry, Jill, we will go back to the Premier League next season."

Gee-Smith was puzzled.

"Back in the Premier League, we are rivals with Manchester United, we don't have to look at their faces, maybe we can win at Old Trafford, and then there will always be a bad relationship with the Scot... ."

Gee Smith was very happy to hear it. He completely ignored the words behind Wansheng. Winning at Old Trafford is just a small fantasy. The key is that Derby County will return to the Premier League next season.

But he still had no confidence, and asked with confirmation, "Wansheng, are you really confident to lead the team back to the Premier League?" Then he whispered, "Although the team is currently No. 1 in the league, the schedule is only halfway through, maybe the next Half a race..."

"That's my concern, Jill, you just wait for the team to upgrade."

"That's right." Gee Smith nodded in approval, "Speaking of which... I'm already looking forward to the new season."

Wan Sheng said weakly, "But just now you were still worried about this season..."

......

Even though there is no winter break in the league, the team still has a holiday the day before Christmas, and Wansheng also has two days off.

On the day of the holiday, Wan Sheng didn't think about the team's affairs any more, but just stayed in the tavern and made decorations with Dali to prepare for tomorrow's Christmas.

Dali wanted to invite other people to have a Christmas party together, and Wansheng also thought it was a good suggestion to participate in the Christmas celebration by participating in the party. 'Former Wansheng' didn't care much about Christmas. He was more concerned about the New Year, which is a Chinese holiday. He only spent Christmas with his girlfriend, but Wansheng never had a girlfriend.

Dali... does it count?

Wan Sheng didn't know either. The relationship between the two had always been very strange. The two would occasionally go to bed, but he couldn't tell the exact relationship, but what he knew was that the two of them must not be in a relationship right now. At least their relationship is not external. public.

In fact, Wan Sheng still likes Dali very much. It is very relaxing to be with Dali, and Dali is very good at taking care of people. This may have something to do with her being a few years older than herself, but Wan Sheng feels pretty good after all.

He even thought about getting married.

In any case, he is almost twenty-seven years old. This age is really the age for marriage. He really hopes to have a stable family life, which is also very helpful for a man's career, but he doesn't know how to speak.

Wan Sheng has been thinking about this matter all morning, but he has not thought about it clearly or made up his mind. After all, this is a major event in life.

The party went well. There were many people nearby, including those who often came to the tavern, and people who were familiar with Wansheng came. The tavern was full, and everyone gathered together to drink wine and talk about happy things. , Many people are also excitedly talking to Wan Sheng about Derby County.

However, Wan Sheng has been a little absent-minded.

After the party was over, the tavern became deserted again, and the two of them cleaned up together and were ready to go back. In front of the door, Wan Sheng saw Dali busy and put his arms around her.

"What's wrong?" Daly asked, turning around.

"Dali." Wan Sheng looked at her and asked solemnly, "I'm thinking about getting married."

"Marriage? Are you proposing to me?" Daly covered her mouth and smiled.

Wan Sheng nodded.

"I refuse." Daly turned around and continued busy locking the door, while saying, "I have no intention of marrying you, I'm not even your girlfriend, Wan Sheng, this joke is not funny."

Hearing Dali's words, Wan Sheng didn't know what he was thinking.

Wan Sheng couldn't understand why Dali refused. He returned home in a drowsy state, still thinking about it while lying on the bed.

"Could it be that my proposal is too poor?" It's a bit...even a diamond ring.

Wan Sheng kept thinking.

But he didn't expect that after Dali took a shower, he pushed open the door of his room and walked in. He sat on the bed and watched. Daly lifted the quilt, got in directly, hugged him tightly, and said, "Wan Sheng, I repeat, I refuse to marry you. But I want a child to accompany me, can you agree?"

Wan Sheng frowned in disbelief.

It suddenly occurred to him that this is the UK, and that getting married is a very serious matter, but it cannot be decided hastily, and it is very common to have children here without getting married.

Daly may have her own reasons for not agreeing to get married, but should she help her sow a seed?

Wan Sheng is thinking calmly.

But when he felt the comfort of his lower body being wrapped in small hands, he did not hesitate. (To be continued..)
