Chapter 35 Blacklisting

At 6:40 in the morning, when Yang Huan and Zhang Ning were still sleeping soundly in the double room of the Grand Harbour Hotel, Ferguson was already driving his Chevrolet Capachi on the road leading to the Carrington training base. Narrow path.

Although most of the British people are still sleeping in the warm bed at this time, there are still some fans waiting by the roadside. They may not be reporters, but they are just to be able to take a photo of him and tell them to themselves. friends to show off.

Whenever he sees them, Ferguson greets them with a habit of smiling and nodding, but never stops.

At 6:50, he parked the car on time in the parking lot of the Carrington Training Base, the parking space dedicated to him.

When he got out of the car, breathing in the air of Carrington, he seemed to smell the breath of football.

The new season is getting closer and closer, and the bloody smell of the fight is getting stronger and stronger.

Losing the league title last season made Ferguson very depressed and annoyed, especially at Old Trafford, where he was beaten 2-1 by Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea, which made the Scottish coach feel ashamed.

That game not only cost Manchester United the league leaders, but also decided the league title for the entire season.

It can be said that Manchester United lost the league title by themselves!

After a summer, Manchester United did not have any major signings in the transfer market, but only brought in stars and young rookies such as Smalling and Hernandez, and Chelsea is similar, just using 18 million pounds The introduction of the Brazilian midfielder Ramirez, and the introduction of Benayoun from Liverpool for six million.

On the contrary, it was Manchester City. This rival city has successively introduced such superstars as David Silva, Kolarov, Yaya Toure, Jerome Boateng, Milner, and Balotelli. It is foreseeable that this team will pose a threat to teams such as Manchester United and Chelsea in the new season.

Standing next to Kopacz, breathing the fresh air of Carrington, Ferguson felt refreshed.

The more challenging it is, the more it will stimulate his desire to win.

The stronger the stronger the stronger, this has always been his strength!

Walking into the Carrington training building, Ferguson could find his office with his eyes closed.

At seven o'clock, he was already sitting in front of his desk and was about to start a new day's work.

"Boss." Assistant coach Mike Perrin appeared outside his office with a big bald head.

Beside him is another Dutch coach René Mullensteen, who is highly valued and admired by Ferguson.

"Come in!" Ferguson was not surprised when he saw the two of them. They had to communicate and have meetings every day. He would be surprised if he didn't see them one day.

"Boss, there is a problem." Mike Perrin and Mullensteen looked at each other and said helplessly.

"What's the problem?" Ferguson was in a good mood and asked with a smile.

Mike Perrin looked at Meulensteen again, the Dutchman was obviously unmoved, and in desperation, he could only choose to speak by himself, "I just received news from my agent Raiola, Paul Berger. Bar and Lavelle Morrison are considering leaving the team."

Ferguson's hand, who was packing some documents on his desk, suddenly stopped, as if the second hand of a clock suddenly stopped, which was very abrupt.

"What? Considering leaving the team?" Ferguson was very surprised.

Lavelle Morrison is a direct descendant of Manchester United's youth academy.

He grew up in Manchester United's youth academy since he was a child. He is currently the most talented talent in Carrington, and Pogba is not far behind. He is from France. Manchester United made a lot of promises for him and risked it. Risk of being sued by Le Havre.

In June of this year, it took United a year to settle Le Havre, and the two sides reached a settlement.

But it was only in August, but he said he wanted to consider leaving the team?

"They want to be able to play for the first team and get more opportunities." Mike Perrin said helplessly.

Nowadays, professional football has been more and more infested by the media. Many young players have begun to have the idea of ​​becoming famous as soon as possible, and fans and the media have higher and higher requirements for young players.

A few years ago, twenty was considered a rookie, but now, twenty is considered an old man.

Messi was already the world footballer at the age of twenty-two.

Pogba and Morrison are both 17 years old, and it is understandable to ask for more first-team experience. After all, the next two years will be the time when they will improve their skills, and it can even be said that they will decide their careers. crucial moment.

"Why are they?" Ferguson sneered.

Two seventeen-year-old kids, dare to ask for more first-team opportunities?

Mike Perrin sighed, "In fact, they also want a promise, but their agent, Raiola, I think this guy is difficult to deal with. Maybe he encouraged the players to make the request."

"Humph!" Ferguson snorted coldly. Since Ravel Morrison decided to temporarily change his agent a few days ago, he felt that this was a bit unusual. Raiola is notoriously difficult in European football.

"I think Morrison, despite his talent and potential, grew up in a severely fragmented family, with gang fights, intimidation, stealing and frequent absences from training, and in our profile he is a genius on the football field, But off the football field, it was a serious disqualification, so I personally think it would be a good thing to temporarily send him out of Manchester."

Mike Perrin said that the temporary departure is more about considering a loan, rather than a transfer.

"Pogba's problem is more troublesome. We promised to give him more opportunities, so he chose Manchester United from Le Havre, and I think he really has the ability to stand in the first team, play as a substitute and Cups are still ok."

Mike Perrin's words made Ferguson ponder.

Rene Mullensteen on the side is a little regretful. In his opinion, this does not need to be thought about at all.

Although Pogba and Morrison are rookies, they are seventeen years old and have strength, so he should be given more opportunities.

In fact, Manchester United has always had a problem in recent years. Strictly speaking, it is the problem of Ferguson, that is, the local complex.

He is also seventeen or eighteen years old. He can reuse players such as Fletcher, Evans, and Cleverley. He can give them opportunities, and even give them a more relaxed environment for mistakes. But for some foreign players, Ferguson's attitude Just conservative.

Because he has always believed that foreign teams are less loyal to the team.

This has put Manchester United's youth training into a very embarrassing situation in the past few years. On the one hand, players such as Fletcher, Evans, and Cleverley are unable to provoke the role, on the other hand, it is Jay Rad? Pique, Rossi and other players left the team but quickly became independent.

Mullensteen was an important employee of the youth academy before, and he knew the specifics of the situation very well, but he couldn't say it.

Does he want to say to Ferguson, old man, you have a strong local household registration complex, and you discriminate against foreign players?

"Tell Raiola!" Ferguson decided after thinking for a few minutes, "I'm not going to give players any commitments on whether they'll be promoted to the first team, we're Manchester United and we're not going to compromise anyone. "

Mike Perrin listened and sighed in his heart. After all, Ferguson was still reluctant to change the structure of the first team.

Giving more opportunities to young people is actually reducing the opportunities for first-team players such as Fletcher and Anderson.

This is a trade-off. There is no way to say whether it is right or wrong. The key is the choice of the coach.

"In addition, the preparations for the new season are over, and young players such as Pogba and Morrison are put back into the youth team. We have to streamline the first team and prepare for the new season." Ferguson waved his hand and announced the result with a black face.

Mike Perrin and Mullensteen looked at each other and saw the helplessness of each other.

This is a penalty for both players!

There may even be a direct blacklist.

After all, Ferguson is still the original Ferguson, and it has not changed for decades!

…………

…………

When Ferguson's mood became extremely bad since he arrived in Carrington in the morning, Yang Huan woke up in the morning and received a series of good news one after another.

First, Raiola told Yang Huan that Ibrahimovic was seriously considering joining Southampton.

"He saw your interview, and he thinks you are the same kind of people!"

Then Raiola told Yang Huan that the 18-year-old Isco, who played for Valencia, finally agreed to join Southampton.

Although Valencia sold the twin stars of David Silva and David Villa this season, the team still has the strengths of Juan Mata, Banega, Joaquin, Vicente, etc. To send a star, there are not many opportunities for young Isco.

This season, Valencia’s second team has been relegated from Spain’s third-tier Western Division III to the fourth-tier Western Ding League, which has made countless young rookies of the Bat Legion extremely disappointed, because the club’s investment in youth training has increased. It's getting worse, and young players are getting less and less hopeful.

In this case, Isco has no reason to refuse a warm invitation from Southampton. At least he can get a professional contract with a much higher salary than Valencia, and a brighter future.

After receiving Raiola's call, Yang Huan received a call from Nicola Cortes.

There were many Southampton fans waiting at the ticket office outside St Mary's Stadium early this morning, actively snapping up Southampton's season tickets for the new season, which will give a boost to the already weak season ticket sales. Over 15,000 season tickets sold.

This is unbelievable for Southampton in the past.

According to Nicola Cortes, the reason why many Southampton fans snapped up the team's season tickets was because they were instigated and influenced by the new owner Yang Huan.

"Master Huan, they all think your exclusive interview is too provocative. They not only want to order the team's season tickets, but also plan to organize an official fan meeting. Every game in the future, whether it's home or away, Everyone came to the scene to cheer for the team, and I have agreed."

Yang Huan was also happy when he heard it, "It's good to agree, not only to agree, but also to give strong support, the club can even allocate a sum of money to help fans organize and serve the community, which will help improve our team's atmosphere and image."

"I understand." Nicola Cortez nodded in agreement.

"I called Matthew Le Tissier last night and invited him to be the manager of the team's fan service department. He agreed. You can arrange it." Yang Huan ordered casually.

For him, inviting Matthew Le Tissier is just a phone call, and the Southampton legend undoubtedly has a high prestige in the fan community. His joining can help Southampton better deal with fans, good interaction with the community.

"Okay, I'll get it done."

Yang Huan hung up on Nicola Cortes, thinking about having a sweet breakfast with Zhang Ning.

But here is another phone call.

It was Zhu Liangcheng.
