Seven Hundred and Twenty Sixth, Emperor Lin, Mighty!

After playing the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, he returned to the Premier League and ushered in the thirty-fifth round of the league.

Manchester City has already firmly won the league championship, and Manchester United does not have the pressure of the top four. In addition, they will devote all their efforts to the second round of the game, so Ferguson's team played in London with a substitute lineup.

In the end, Manchester United lost 1-0 away to Arsenal.

Manchester City continued to host West Ham United with a full rotation lineup. In the end, with the goals of Yaya Toure, Zabaleta and Van Persie, they defeated West Ham United 3-0 at home.

After this battle, Manchester City is one step closer to winning the Premier League unbeaten.

Liverpool beat Newcastle 3-0 at home, basically securing the third place in the league.

...

Three days later, the Champions League semi-final second leg.

Manchester City at Old Trafford.

The zero-to-two first round put Ferguson to a dead end, forcing Manchester United to attack aggressively at home.

From the very beginning of the game, the Red Devils played a wave of crazy attacks, just like they did in the first round at the Etihad Stadium.

The difference is that this time Manchester United scored.

In the 24th minute, when Manchester City counterattacked, the pass was cut off. Manchester United quickly counterattacked. Sneijder sent a kick behind the ball. Valencia quickly reversed offside and plugged in. After receiving the ball, he inserted into the right rib of the penalty area and scored a single goal .

One to zero!

This goal ignited the confidence of Manchester United fans and also ignited the fighting spirit of Manchester United players.

But the good times didn't last long, and after only six minutes, Manchester United paid the price for their blood.

The young player Fabio's miss on the right was seized by Gareth Bale. He inserted into the left side of the penalty area and received an oblique pass from Robben who cut in from the right. In Bell's area, he calmly kicked and broke through. Van der Sar's goal.

One to one!

This is embarrassing for Manchester United!

The total score returned to one to three, and Manchester City still had an away goal.

That is to say, Manchester United needs to score at least three goals to reverse Manchester City.

But for Manchester United, this is almost an impossible task.

How easy is it to score three goals for Manchester City and not be scored?

But Ferguson still wanted to persevere, so he asked the players to press up again.

At this time, Manchester United's players had lost their energy and their fighting spirit was greatly affected. In addition, after the opening attack, they consumed a lot of energy. Finally, in the 38th minute, Manchester City seized the opportunity again.

David Silva sent a kick behind the ball, and Robben made a single shot. After passing the goalkeeper Van der Sar, he pushed the empty goal and turned the score to 2-1.

This goal completely killed Manchester United's confidence in counterattack.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Ferguson made several substitutions to turn the situation around, but nothing could be done.

In the end, Manchester City reversed Manchester United 2-1 in an away game, eliminated Manchester United with a total score of 4-1, and successfully advanced to the final.

...

"How is it? Can you bear it?"

After the game, in the familiar old place of Old Trafford, Ferguson had already started drinking when Gao Shen arrived.

As usual, he brought Gao Shen two bottles of water.

Ferguson didn't even look up,

He didn't look straight at him at all, because he didn't need to look to know how embarrassing he was at this moment.

Both are head coaches who have won the Champions League twice. No matter who enters the final, they may win the third and become the first player in active service. Ferguson is more eager to get this honor than Gao Shen.

Because in the past few years, he has really clearly felt his own inadequacy.

Especially after Queiroz left, he really couldn't take care of all aspects, which caused many problems.

Such as the first team, such as the youth team.

"Don't worry, we've survived the disastrous defeat last season. What's the point of losing the Champions League semi-final?" Ferguson snorted coldly.

Gao Shen grinned, laughed, and pointed out four fingers, "Four kills!"

After finishing speaking, he took a bottle of water on his own, unscrewed the cap, and poured it into his mouth.

Ferguson sighed helplessly, turned the wine in his hand, and drank it in one gulp, as if this glass was not wine, but sorrow.

Use wine to drown your sorrows and worry even more.

But in Ferguson's dictionary, it's because of not drinking enough.

If you drink too much, it is easy to fall asleep.

"By the way, what happened to your acquisition of the club?" Ferguson suddenly asked with concern.

Gao Shen was taken aback when he heard that, he had done it so secretly, yet spread the word?

You know, he signed a non-disclosure agreement with Ken Bates and the management of Leeds United. Did these guys leak it?

If you dare to file a lawsuit directly, it may be cheaper.

But soon, Gao Shen became wilted, because he saw Ferguson's expression, it was obviously not because he knew something inside, but because he didn't expect him to live a good life, purely to get back the losing ground, disgusting him.

"Hiss, let me say, you just want me to go bankrupt, don't you?" Gao Shen asked back.

Ferguson also smiled, shook his head and said, "I don't think you will go bankrupt. With your shrewdness, if you really bought the club, you might be able to get along very well. Maybe it will really become a black shop."

Needless to say, Ferguson really knew him in this regard.

"However, I hope you buy it quickly and get out!"

Gao Shen smiled wryly, this is the truest thought in the old jazz's heart.

"The Premier League team is too expensive, why don't you lend me some money?" Gao Shen asked with a playful smile.

"Get out! If I'm really rich, I still need this age, and I'm still in this position, being bullied by you like this?" Ferguson was also annoyed.

Whether you have money or not, this varies from person to person.

It's like for ordinary migrant workers, having a house, a car, a wife and children, and a job that can earn 18,000 yuan a month is already considered acceptable. If you can save tens of thousands of yuan, then They are all rich.

But for someone like Ferguson, a deposit of hundreds of thousands of pounds, or even a million pounds, is nothing to him.

Because there are too many places where he needs to spend money.

Living in a big house and driving a luxury car, not only his family, but even his brother, and some other relatives and friends are pointing at him to live, many of them are even in Manchester United, or in the surrounding industries to make a living .

In this case, Ferguson is not at all a question of whether he wants to retire, but whether he can retire.

Regarding retirement, Ferguson has mentioned it many times.

At the beginning of the century, he said that he would retire. After winning the Champions League, he also said that he would retire. The year of retirement has also been postponed again and again.

Whether it was to the media or in his autobiography, he said it was because he loved football.

But be realistic, ladies and gentlemen!

Do you really think it is so easy to be on the front line at the age of seventy?

If his children were capable and advanced enough, would Ferguson still have to suffer like this?

Today's Ferguson is just like the wealthy generation who started their businesses. The second generation made progress, and the first generation could retire early to enjoy life. If the second generation did not make progress, the first generation might even die at the front line.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and it is not easy for anyone.

...

"Seriously, if I really buy a club, your previous promise will be fulfilled."

Gao Shen didn't come to listen to Ferguson's complaints, but to poach the wall.

"I must admit what I said!" Ferguson was very firm.

"Give me all the players I want?" Gao Shen tentatively asked.

Ferguson immediately showed a sly smile, "How is it possible? You think too much, do you really think Manchester United is mine?"

The old boy immediately revealed his true colors.

"I want three."

"Impossible, at most one."

"That can't be sold. Look at you, the best two will definitely not be given to me."

"Who?"

"Morrison and Lingard... what the hell, are you telling me something?" Gao Shen pretended to "suddenly realize".

Ferguson burst out laughing triumphantly.

What Champions League semi-finals, what loss, this smile, all exposed.

"Young, still young!" Ferguson said with a smug smile.

Gao Shen has a very resentful expression, "sulking", "You old and cunning thief!"

Ferguson shrugged indifferently, "But, to be honest, Morrison is indeed the most talented player in our team, but Lingard..."

Gao Shen hummed twice, but said nothing.

Ferguson also laughed immediately, "Well, don't be wronged, except for these two, you can choose whatever you want, and I promise to offer it at the market price with both hands, and I will never regret it. Of course, the premise is that you have to buy the club. "

So far, Ferguson has not heard any news about Gao Shen's acquisition of the club. He doesn't believe that Gao Shen will move so fast. When the summer transfer period is over, who will remember this?

What, transfer?

Next year, there will even be a winter break at the earliest. After half a year, who knows what will happen?

"Now I don't believe you more and more." Gao Shen rebuffed.

"Come on, talk about Lingard, is this player really that good?"

After Gao Shen looked at Ferguson for a long time, he nodded and said, "Okay, I will comfort your wounded heart, and I will trust you again."

Ferguson smiled, "Don't worry, you can record, I promise I won't go back on my word."

"In my opinion, there is no other player in the world who is as talented as Lingard."

"Is he so good?" Ferguson wondered.

Manchester United are really optimistic about Lingard, otherwise they would not focus on training him. Putting him together with Morrison, Pogba and others, he can be regarded as the best of the younger generation.

But is it so good?

"Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but I really think Messi is nothing compared to Lingard!"

Ferguson was dumbfounded.

If it wasn't for Gao Shen's reputation, if it were any other person, he would just spit it out.

Ma Dan, who are you fooling?

But who is Gao Shen?

The piercing eyes are recognized all over the world.

And Gao Shen can see Morrison, which proves that his eyesight is really good.

But which aspect of Lingard deserves such praise from Gao Shen?

Ferguson couldn't help asking himself, could it be that he and the team overlooked Lingard's excellence?

Needless to say, Gao Shen is really good at this.

How many talents that were buried in other teams, in his hands, were immediately dug out of their advantages, and directly shined in European football. Lingard must have something extraordinary, otherwise, how could he be so praised by Gao Shen? ?

No, such a super genius must not be lost no matter what, even if he can't use it well, he will never let others use it.

"Believe me, sir, Lingard has the talent to become the emperor of European football!" Gao Shen further strengthened Ferguson's confidence.

With a sound of "the ball comes", the whole world admires it!

Lingard was not born in heaven, football is like a long night!

Emperor Lin, mighty!
