Chapter 500 Father and Son
Fang Jue can be sure that Ferguson must love and hate Beckham.
This is the child that the old man 'brought up'.
In 1991, the Scot Ferguson brought Beckham, who was only 16 years old at the time, to Manchester United.
At that time, Beiham looked childish, and his football talent was of course the main reason to attract Ferguson.
But his shaggy blond hair and charismatic smile also gave the United boss a sense of his influence in the future.
However, I am afraid that even this Scot could not have imagined that it was his personal charm that became the root cause of the two people's complete break after 12 years.
Ferguson's credit is absolutely inseparable from Beckham's success on the football field.
The conflict between the two can be traced back as early as 1995.
When Ferguson loaned him to low-level North Preston, Beckham believed that sending him out would cut him out of Manchester United's future.
However, he later admitted that Ferguson's approach was right, because this experience changed his playing style a lot.
Beckham wrote in his first autobiography "My World": "There is no doubt that a large part of Manchester United's success is due to Ferguson. I have great respect for him. There have been quarrels between us. There was a lot of buzz, but I still have to thank him."
"All the players in the Manchester United team are ambitious and we have absolute respect for Ferguson. I wouldn't be where I am today without the manager."
And Ferguson also wrote in his autobiography: "As long as it is related to football, I will never let Beckham down."
Although these two people had a huge conflict, they have never been willing to reconcile or bow their heads in public.
They all chose the most wonderful way: to express their emotions in their autobiography.
It has to be admitted that before the conflicts intensified, the relationship between Beckham and Ferguson was indeed like a father and son, although there will be inevitable conflicts between father and son.
The intensification of the conflict between the two is inseparable from a woman, that is, Beckham's wife, Victoria.
In 1997, Beckham fell into a relationship with the Spice Girls.
During the semi-final of the European Cup, Beckham kept calling Victoria, who was in the United States at the time, even before training and games.
Ferguson had to order him to turn off his mobile phone, and publicly declared that Beckham in love was stupid, and the gap between master and apprentice began.
In July of that year, Beckham, who was immersed in the sweetness of his newlyweds, was rushed back to the team by Ferguson after only three days of honeymoon, which made Beckham very angry.
In December 1999, Beckham, who was already a father, began to throw olive branches to major European clubs under Victoria's suggestion, and expressed his willingness to play football abroad in order to provide a good living environment for his family.
After Ferguson heard about this incident, he angrily reprimanded Beckham for being distracted and had a big fight with him.
Another time, Beckham's son Brooklyn fell ill, and Victoria asked Beckham to be with him, resulting in Beckham missing two training sessions.
When he returned to the team, Ferguson ordered Beckham to go away in front of his teammates, and Beckham left the training ground without looking back.
Driven by his wife, Beckham began to try new hairstyles.
This also made Ferguson feel more and more intolerable.
Ferguson was completely out of style when Beckham showed up with a new "Mohican" hairstyle.
He growled and told Beckham that Manchester United wanted him to get his hair cut immediately, and that if he refused to do so, there would be no place for him in Manchester United.
But after that, Beckham didn't care about it, but continued to change his hairstyle.
The appearance of Victoria changed Beckham's way of life, and it also made Ferguson's antipathy towards Beckham grow day by day.
After being knocked out of the FA Cup by Arsenal at home, an angry Ferguson kicked a football boot away in the dressing room, which happened to hit Beckham's eyebrow bone.
The flying boot incident was just a flashpoint.
"The Times" chief reporter Dixon mentioned in a column that Beckham and Ferguson are more like beloved sons sandwiched between their wives and controlling mothers.
The youngest son has a new love, and the elderly mother is full of resentment. Of course, Ferguson, who holds the power of the family, is the final winner. He drives the youngest son out of the house, but he also loses everything.
Therefore, Ferguson was very angry with Beckham, and the one who resented him most was probably Victoria.
...
Fang Jue laughed, thinking of that famous rumor.
Someone once asked Ferguson, if there was only one bullet in a gun, would he choose to aim at Wenger or Victoria.
The old man asked blankly, can't they both be killed?
Fang Jue asked, is this really the case?
"I want to get rid of the gossip the most right now," Ferguson said.
Fang Jue curled his lips, this old man is really hard to like.
"Sir, you didn't call just to talk to me, did you?" Fang Jue asked.
"How did you get that woman to agree to him coming to Birmingham? Leave the American metropolis and come to a 'small place' like Birmingham." Ferguson said sarcastically, "A small team like Villa is not a big family."
Hey old man!
Just wait, you will be called sooner or later.
"It's very simple, I called David, and I said, 'Create a big scene with me'." Fang Jue said, "He came."
"Get out of here." Ferguson said angrily, "He will listen to you? He will only listen to that woman."
Obviously, this is the ultimate purpose of Ferguson's call. As the old man knows the Beckhams best, and has always expressed great prejudice against the couple, he is curious why Beckham chose to come to Birmingham.
Of course, Fang Jue couldn't tell the truth. Behind this incident, the connections and resources of the Papa family played a big role.
It doesn't matter if you eat soft rice, the important thing is not to let others know.
"Believe it or not." Fang Jue said directly.
Ferguson on the other end of the phone was silent.
Fang Jue suddenly realized that the old man didn't have to get an answer when he called.
Perhaps, this is the way the old man expresses, he still pays attention to Beckham and cares about this 'little son'.
However, he couldn't save his face to contact the other party, so he called Fang Jue in a roundabout way to find out about Beckham's real situation from the side.
Hey, this father and son.
But soon, Fang Jue doubted his judgment again.
"You poached my No. 7." Ferguson said, "You have to return my No. 7."
"Dream." Fang Jue said directly, "Sir, don't think that I am young and easy to bully."
This old man, this is poaching, and calling Ashley Young by name.
"You told me about Abang Lahuo, you owe me a favor."
"When did I say that?"
"you said before."
"I do not have."
Fang Jue suddenly felt like he was arguing with a child, how naive.
"Remember, you promised me that you will be the first to notify me of Ashley Young's transfer in the future."
When did I...
Fang Jue didn't say anything, and the phone was hung up.
Hey, old man, you're rude.
It seems that asking Ashley Young is not the purpose of Ferguson's call?
So, the old man's real purpose?
Fang Jue felt that he seemed to understand a little bit again.
He shook his head, this old man is desperate for face.
Moreover, he is so arrogant, so shameless, so familiar, do you know him very well?
However, Fang Jue had to admit that Ferguson's style made him feel good about the old man.
Fang Jue told his wife about it.
Papa just laughed, and she reminded her husband not to be fooled by Ferguson's appearance.
The translation is: This old man is an old fox who has practiced for thousands of years, and he will fall into his trap if he is not careful.
