Chapter 1,155: Blessings to You, Not the Champion
When the fat reporter returned to Bright's office from downstairs, it was obvious that something had changed in him.
Brett looked at him: "I haven't seen you in a while. Have you gained weight?"
"Editor-in-Chief, I was beaten!" the fat reporter almost cried. "When I went down just now, before I finished my apology, a few radical fans rushed up and punched me several times, and then I ran into the crowd. I don’t even know who hit me..."
Brett looked at him with pity: "Oh, you have worked hard. You have made a great contribution to the newspaper's crisis this time. I will definitely ask the boss for credit."
After hearing this, the fat reporter felt a little better, but he was still puzzled: "I don't understand. Even if I am a reporter from "The Sun", on the one hand, I am not a senior executive of the newspaper, and on the other hand, the article I didn’t write the comments that made people angry, I just went down to explain and appease them, why are they coming after me?”
Brett thought for a while: "Before you go down, I asked the security guard to tell the troublemaker that the deputy editor in charge of this business of the newspaper will come down to talk to you soon. Do you think they will beat you for this reason?"
Fat reporter: "..."
Brett: "..."
Fat reporter: "Editor-in-Chief, I'm going to write my resignation letter now..."
Ferguson's serious illness not only attracted attention in the UK, but also attracted the attention of football circles around the world. Countless fans from various countries sent their blessings to Ferguson in various forms. Some prayed for blessings on the Internet, which has accumulated clicks so far. The rate was tens of millions; some people also sent greeting cards, but these cards were ultimately sent to the Manchester United Club.
What's even more amazing is that some travel agencies in China have actually opened a special travel line for "visiting Ferguson's trip to the UK". It is said that the registrations for several issues have been fully booked...
Within the football world, many big names also sent their blessings.
The young FIFA President Infantino, on behalf of the international football community, sent his blessings to Ferguson.
"Ferguson is the best coach in my mind, bar none! Although he has retired now, he is like a totem statue in the international football world, guiding countless juniors forward. I hope he can recover soon!"
UEFA President Ceferin also said: "Sir Alex Ferguson is a symbol of European football and the pride of European football! I wish him a speedy recovery!"
Football Association Chairman Palmer even took action. He publicly stated that all the expenses incurred by Ferguson’s hospitalization will be charged to the FA’s account!
After learning about this, Woodward was secretly happy for a long time. Ferguson's hospitalization expenses were originally borne by Manchester United. As a result, Woodward was left with a considerable expense.
In the circle of football coaches, many coaches also expressed their blessings and respect for Sir Alex Ferguson.
Wenger, who had just retired, made a special trip to visit Ferguson in the hospital. As a bitter rival in his career, Wenger loved and hated Ferguson. However, both of them have now left the Premier League, and they can finally sit down and enjoy their friendship.
Then along came Moyes. He was a close friend of Sir Alex Ferguson and even came close to taking over Manchester United. His relationship with Ferguson is also excellent. This time he drove from Liverpool to Manchester to visit Ferguson who was in a coma.
Old coach Louis van Gaal has a tacit relationship with Ferguson. He also called personally to express his comfort to Casey and his blessings to Sir Alex Ferguson.
World Cup coaches Lippi and Loew also sent their blessings and respect.
Coach Heynckes publicly stated: Ferguson is the banner of European football and wishes him a speedy recovery.
In addition to these famous coaches, there are countless other individuals and institutions who have sent their blessings.
But among these people, one person's blessing is the most special. He is Mourinho, the current Real Madrid coach who once broke the balance of the Premier League, coached Chelsea.
Mourinho is a special one. When he first came to Chelsea, no one thought that he would break the monopoly of Ferguson and Wenger on the Premier League, snatch the Premier League championship from the hands of the two old coaches, and steal the Premier League title. The cup championship created a three-legged situation in the Premier League.
Mourinho is a special one. He was also within the scope of Ferguson's coaching selection, but the Portuguese was unwilling to coach a team with such a personal imprint, so in the end he still did not go with Manchester United.
Ferguson's hospitalization also allowed Mourinho to express his emotions publicly.
"Ferguson is the strongest enemy I have ever encountered in the Premier League. I hope he can recover as soon as possible! But I have some different opinions about the words of Ferguson's wife, Ms. Casey. He said that Sir Alex Ferguson hopes to see Manchester United win the Champions League this year, so that Ferguson The Jazz can get better faster. I am sorry that Sir Alex Ferguson cannot see Manchester United's victory and championship, because this year's Champions League champion must be our Real Madrid! I give my heartfelt blessings to you, Sir Alex Ferguson, but the Champions League champion No, that’s mine!”
While everyone was talking to Ferguson, Mourinho's words earned him some criticism. But Mourinho feels very calm. Life is one thing, and championship is another. They cannot be equated.
Therefore, Mourinho, who is far away in Madrid, Spain, still suffers constant criticism from the British domestic media.
Also in Madrid, there is another person who is also very depressed, he is Cristiano Ronaldo.
As one of Ferguson's beloved disciples, Ronaldo should have come to Manchester in person to visit his mentor. But in this matter, Real Madrid made it clear that they do not recommend Ronaldo to go to Manchester!
What Florentino means is that now Real Madrid is about to play against Manchester United in the Champions League final. At this time, the number one star in his team goes to the opponent's camp. Although he is visiting Ferguson, he will inevitably be caught and affect the ball. Team morale.
After strong opposition from the club, Ronaldo finally canceled the idea of going to Manchester.
He called Kathy to express his blessings and also expressed his apology for not being able to visit the hospital in person.
This incident has a very bad impact on many die-hard fans. Everyone has no doubt about the relationship between Ronaldo and Ferguson, but everyone is very disgusted by Florentino's approach of preventing Ronaldo from going to Manchester to visit his teacher.
Ronaldo also indirectly expressed his regret that he could not visit his mentor in an interview with the media.
It seems that the conflict between Real Madrid and Ronaldo is getting deeper and deeper. Whether the two sides can continue to go forward, all fans have their own thoughts...
