When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the scene in the stadium was completely opposite to that at the end of the half-time.
The United players who led in the first half are all depressed now. On the contrary, they are city players. They are all jubilant and dancing. Under the leadership of Captain Xabi Alonso, they rush to the podium.
Ferguson sat in the coach's seat, chewing gum as usual.
Ferguson can't remember when it was put into his mouth. He only knows that it has been too long. It's not only tasteless, but also has a disgusting impulse, but he still chews hard.
He found that at this moment, there is not much he can do, and what he can control is to continue to force himself to chew gum.
Both hands and feet are still shaking slightly, which is the stimulation brought by the competition just now.
It's less than 10 minutes to draw Manchester City, but for Ferguson, it's the gap between heaven and hell.
He failed again!
Compared with the previous cold always unexpected on-the-spot command is different, this game of cold every move, even his every on-the-spot command, Ferguson can see clearly, clearly, but he still has no way to prevent the defeat.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, he knew why.
Finally, he got up from the coach's bench and walked to the sidelines.
One by one, United's players came down from the pitch and Ferguson welcomed them.
"It doesn't matter. The score of 1-2 is also good. There is an away goal and we still have a chance."
"Cheer up, guys, we're not desperate yet."
"Come on, our opponents will look down on us and look up."
With Ferguson's encouragement, Manchester United's players are all in high spirits. Some even raise their hands above their heads and applaud the Manchester United fans who come to the stadium to thank them for their support.
But from their eyebrows, there is still a sense of loss and frustration.
They are ten minutes away from winning, ten minutes away from creating a legend, but they still lose.
They have done their best in this game, even playing to their highest level, but in front of Manchester City, they are still defeated. How can they be embarrassed?
To be able to play for Manchester United, everyone is one of the most famous stars in European football. Who is willing to accept that they are inferior?
One by one, Ferguson sent all his players into the players' channel. When he turned around, Gao Han came to the visiting coach's desk and shook hands with the Manchester United coaching staff one by one along the way.
They are all in the same city, they are not strangers to each other, and everyone knows that Gao Han and Ferguson have intimate relations.
What's more, they lost the game with conviction.
What else can they say if they are tied or even reversed by their opponents when they are more than half ahead?
"How do you feel?" Gao Han came to Ferguson and asked with a smile.
Ferguson curled his lips and grunted, "what else? That's it. "
"You seem upset." Gao Han said with a smile.
"Bullshit, are you cool if it's you?" Ferguson hit back.
Alpine light smile, no more to say.
In his opinion, Ferguson lost the ball, then he should have a little demeanor, he hit a few words is normal, it is impossible to win the ball, but also disgusting people, then do not make this friend.
"Well, let me ask you something." Ferguson asked suddenly.
"Well, you ask." Gao Han thought that he wanted to ask something about tactics, but he was very reasonable.
He didn't use his skill card from the beginning to the end of this game, all of which are based on the real level of coaching, so he is very confident now, and he is not afraid of Ferguson asking any questions, he is sure to answer them.
But Ferguson's problems obviously have little to do with the game.
"Do you really decide to leave Manchester City after winning the Champions League?"
Gao Han eyebrows a pick, to this problem some surprise, "what meaning?"
"Feel free to ask about your career plan."
Gao Han took a deep look at Ferguson and nodded, "it should be."
After a pause, he sighed and continued: "to tell you the truth, in the past two years, I have found that I can't take care of both Chinatown and coaching more and more."
Ferguson understands that.
Gao Han is the boss of Chinatown. Although Amando Marcos has been appointed as the general manager and Carlos cantarello as the technical director, there are still a lot of things that need him to worry about and deal with. Especially, Chinatown is in the top position of La Liga and is in the stage of rapid development.
As the head coach of the European Premier League, Ferguson is also very clear that there are many things to worry about when coaching Manchester City in the cold. From the first team's competition and training to the construction and planning of the training base in the urban area, he has to go through his hands.
These two jobs are always busy if you put them on one person. However, it's normal for one person to have two jobs and shoulder two heavy burdens in the cold. It's really hard for outsiders to understand the pressure. It's normal for them to be more and more willing but less able.
In particular, before the media hyped the conflict of interest that matter, the impact on the cold is not small.
As the head coach, Gao has almost got all the honors that all the coaches can get. He is not only active, but also the greatest and most outstanding head coach in history.
Not only himself, but also his football philosophy has deeply influenced countless head coaches, such as heinx, Aragones, Guardiola, bochetino, emery, Simone, klop, tuhel, Prandelli
Countless famous European coaches have said in public that they have benefited a lot from the cold.
On the road of coaching, Gao Han can almost say that there is no way to advance, but as the boss of Chinatown, he has put a lot of hard work and feelings into this team, which has great achievements.
"Are you going to retire?" Ferguson asked suddenly.
He will think so, cold pour also not unexpected, smile a way: "don't know, still have a little wish."
"What wish?" Ferguson is curious.
"I hope to have a chance to coach the French first division
"Fa Jia?" Ferguson was surprised, as if to hear a very ridiculous thing like, "you go to coach the French first division?"
"No? There is a chance. " The high cold reminds us.
"With your annual salary, who can afford to hire you? What's more, at the level of the French first division, you don't kill all sides when you go... "Ferguson said half of the time, and suddenly laughed.
"I see. I see. You want to be a grand slam in the top five leagues. Your complex is really..."
How to put it?
Very speechless!
Gao Han smiles and does not deny it. Let's take it as one of his bad tastes.
"So... After you take the French team, will you take the national team?" Ferguson asked with a smile.
"I can think about it, but if I take the national team, I will only take one team."
Gao Han looked at Ferguson and said with a confident smile, "that's my motherland, China."
"Too weak? Even if you can't play the world cup, would you like to? " Ferguson said it straight.
If you just want to win the world cup, you can coach the world's top teams with a cold identity, isn't it easier?
Alpine nodded, "it's really weak, and the management system is very bad, but everything is improving, I hope one day I can personally bring him to the ranks of the world's top teams."
Ferguson took the joke away and realized that alpine was serious. "Is that too hard?"
"Maybe, China has a population of more than one billion, and there is no lack of football talents. Other than that, there are a number of potential young talents gathered in my youth training center, and this is only my first youth training center. In the future, I will open a second, a third, or even more, to cultivate more football talents for my motherland."
"It's a long way, but it's challenging, don't you think?"
After Gao Han finished, he gave a slight smile, but in Ferguson's view, the smile was very heavy.
He can't understand the feeling of high cold, just like he can't understand many African and South American players who came to Europe from childhood and worked hard to earn money, but had to go back to his motherland to do charity.
But he understood that everyone's choice should be respected.
"If I have a chance, I'd like to go to your youth training center and see what you call the football talents."
"There's a chance." Gao Han nodded.
His words are not just casual, but his voice.
Moreover, he is also full of confidence in the group of children in the Chinatown youth training center in Daxing, Beijing.
Now the time is not ripe, so there is no way to bring them to Europe. But every year, a lot of exchanges and competitions are organized to let them compete with the world's advanced peers, understand their position and increase their competition experience.
Such a youth training center can't make any money at all, so he doesn't have much money left in the past few years, so he plans to invest it all.
Chinatown is his hope!
When the time is ripe in the future, he hopes that this group of children can come to Europe, gain a firm foothold in the European League, improve their own strength level, and be proud of Chinese football.
"By the way, don't talk about me. What do you mean by asking me so many questions?" Gao Han pulled away from his mind and asked curiously.
Ferguson heard a smile, "it's very simple, if you really get the Champions League will leave Manchester City, then I'll fight with the management of that group of old men, more chips, the introduction of one or two high-level players, a strong team's line-up."
At this time, it suddenly occurred to me that Ferguson was about to retire.
In the past few years, there has been news that Ferguson will retire almost every year, but the old man has been dominating the Manchester United position. In the final analysis, he is still unwilling.
He hopes to win a second Champions League title, another Premier League title and retire with glory.
This should be the last wish of the Scottish old man who has devoted his whole life to football.
There is also this idea of Aragones, he also brought Spain to the peak after the glorious retirement.
"Isn't that too hard?" Gao Han returned Ferguson's words to him just now.
Ferguson laughs. Of course he knows it's not easy, but he has his own persistence and persistence.
"But it's challenging, don't you think?" Ferguson also returned the original words, and then looked at Gao Han with bad intentions and said: "besides, I can't do it. I'll dig your corner."
"Do you really want Mitch?" The cold was slightly surprised.
This is a rumor in the media. Gao has always thought it was a misinformation before. After all, most of the European giants are related to michu. Who believes that?
"No, no, No Ferguson quickly refuted the rumor, "Mitch is really an interesting player, but I don't have the patience anymore. What I want is a player who can help us improve our competitiveness in a short time."
Gao Han, relieved, nodded and said, "good luck to you."
"You too."
They looked at each other with a smile, shook hands and turned away.
