After the FA Cup final, Manchester City played two more rounds of the Premier League, winning Stoke City 3-0 at home and Bolton 2-0 away, defending the Premier League title with all wins.
There is a week's interval between the 38th round of the Premier League and the final of the Champions League, so after playing in the league, Gao has specially given the team a day off, so that everyone can accompany their families and have a good rest.
On the afternoon of the team's holiday, Ferguson happily came to the door with a bottle of rare red wine.
His reason is also very reasonable: "I miss the dishes you Lin Xia cooked."
Gao Han was completely defeated by the cheeky old man, but Lin Xia respected the neighbor and immediately began to prepare his own skills and give him a good treat.
Ferguson and Gao Han live very close to each other and often communicate with each other. Especially after tasting Lin Xia's skills, the old man has a special liking for Chinese food. He is a frequent patron of restaurants invested by Gao Han. In some cases, Manchester United and Manchester City often patronize each other. Sometimes, there are scenes where Manchester United and Manchester City eat in the same room.
This also makes the cold restaurant in Manchester become particularly loud, business is a mess.
The good thing is that he has money to earn, but the bad thing is that Ferguson's reason for eating is more reasonable.
No way. In his opinion, Lin Xia's skill is better than the chef of the restaurant.
It's just a joke that Gao Han occasionally complains, because every time Ferguson comes here to rub rice, he will bring good wine, and Lin Xia will do it more attentively and delicately, and he has a good mouth.
He called Ferguson into the living room. Gao Han went to pour water for him. When he came out again, he saw the old man standing in front of his honor window.
The shop window was full of every honor he got when he was coaching Manchester City, including trophies, medals and certificates.
A little bit of weight of the prize, alpine usually go to receive, such as FIFA's best man's football coach of the year award, but there are also some awards presented by the newspaper, usually sent to the door by the other party, take a few photos to finish.
I don't know. In two years, there was a big window.
But Ferguson's eyes are obviously not in the window, because when it comes to trophies and medals, he is only a lot more than Alpine.
What he was really looking at was a picture hung outside the window by the cold.
It was the night of the FA Cup final. Gao Han ran to take a picture with the players of class 92. The photographer was green Wald. After the photo was developed, he specially asked the players of class 92 to sign their names. Finally, it was framed and hung in the middle of the honor window.
In the photo, Gao Han stands in the middle, and the players of class 92 are on both sides. Everyone signs his name on his head, which is of great commemorative value.
"If I remember correctly, you have one at home, too." Gao Han came to Ferguson and handed him a glass of water.
Ferguson took over and nodded: "yes, for a long time, I don't know where to put it."
Gao Han's faint smile didn't expose Ferguson's lies, because the photo was mounted in the photo frame and hung in a prominent place in Ferguson's honor room, but the old man was not willing to admit it.
"Sometimes, people, don't be too stubborn. It's not a big deal at all. Why?" Gao Han said earnestly.
On the night of the FA Cup final, David returned to the United camp and took part in the final of several teammates, but Gao noticed that from beginning to end, Ferguson was avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally, and so was David.
It's funny that two people who used to be in love with their father and son turned out to be like this.
It can be seen from the high cold that they have already put aside their old grudges. After all, they are on the verge of retirement, and many things have long been indifferent. The reason why they have not made up is that no one is willing to take the initiative to take that step.
Sometimes, that step goes out and the window paper breaks. Reconciliation is a natural thing.
Ferguson once inadvertently talked about class 92 after a drink. The one with the most devotion, the best feelings and the most proud disciple in his life is David.
But it may be precisely because of this, so he is particularly strict with David. This leads to the rebellious young David, just like his adolescent son always likes to contradict his father. Especially when choosing a lifelong partner, there is a serious conflict between their values.
In fact, the contradiction between Ferguson and David has also occurred in many ordinary families. The difference is that both of them are well-known football figures in the world, which leads to the contradiction completely exposed in front of the world, and eventually both sides are strangers.
Now, one is retiring, and the other is retiring soon. What's the difference?
Ferguson shook his head and sighed. He turned and walked to the sofa in the living room. He was very sad.
After the end of the Premier League, Manchester City won the championship, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal were in the top four, and Arsene Wenger once again retained the club's qualification for the Champions League. However, according to reliable sources, Fabregas has basically decided to leave the Gunners this season.
It is also an unacceptable but cruel fact that Fabregas is hard to win the championship at Arsenal, so he is eager to return to Spain and Barcelona.
Barcelona are also struggling for Cesc Fabregas, and it is estimated that the transfer will be successful this summer.
In addition to Fabregas, van Persie, Nasri, Alexander song and other players may also leave the team. The Gunners are in an awkward situation now. For ambitious players, they are somewhat frustrated.
As for Manchester United
"Is the rumor true?" Gao Han asked with a smile.
"What?"
"A transfer budget of 200 million pounds."
This is the news from the media two days ago. It is said that Manchester United decided to increase investment and gave Ferguson a huge transfer budget.
Ferguson didn't answer and laughed. "It's up to you."
"What does it have to do with me?"
"If you leave the Premier League, we'll put in more money."
Gao Han has a bitter smile. I don't know what kind of reaction I should give. Should I be happy?
Nowadays, Manchester United has many problems. Even if Gao Han leaves the Premier League, even if Ferguson has a transfer budget of 200 million pounds, he may not be able to compete with Manchester City. It's not a joke that Gao Han left behind this team.
In contrast to Manchester United, the center forward, the centre back, the right back and the goalkeeper all need to be recruited. If it is to bring in immediate combat power, there is really nothing to choose between the two hundred million pounds, especially the European first-line stars, who are all worth a lot.
"To be honest, how sure are you in the Champions League final?" Asked Ferguson with concern.
It is estimated that this is also one of the issues he is most concerned about during his trip.
Alpine smile, "hard to say."
"Not yet?" Ferguson almost angry, "Barcelona's loopholes are not very obvious there?"
Not long ago, UEFA has just announced the best team of this season's Champions League. The goalkeeper is given to Manchester United's Edwin van der Sar, which is more or less emotional. Peter Cech's performance is better than Edwin van der Sar.
At the back are Marcello of Bayern Munich, Harvey Martinez, pique and Dario sRNA of Atletico Madrid.
Midfield is Modric, Xabi Alonso and Iniesta, front Trident is Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Sanchez.
It can be said that in addition to the goalkeeper and the left and right full backs, all the teams are from the Champions League final.
Manchester City play with three full backs, without left and right full backs, but Barcelona are not.
Right back Alves is quite good, but he is a little inferior to Atletico Madrid's Dario sRNA, which also makes the Croatian star invited by many teams including Manchester United.
But the left back is a big weakness of Barcelona, so Marcello of Bayern Munich is naturally selected as the best team. This Brazilian player is very famous this season. Especially in the two rounds against Barcelona, the left side composed of Ribery is an invincible channel.
Many top teams, including Barcelona and Real Madrid, covet Marcelo. Real Madrid, in particular, are eager to recall the old players. However, Bayern Munich are not willing to let go the left winger easily. It is expected that they will have to fight again. Even if they let go, it may be a sky high price.
As Ferguson said, Barcelona's weakness is really obvious, left back and centre back, Abidal and Puyol these two points are a big problem, alpine himself also knows.
But before the final, he can't say he's going to win, can he?
So, it's best to keep an unpredictable smile.
But when Gao Han was going to put on a show, Ferguson suddenly changed the topic.
"By the way, Chinatown has done well this season
Ferguson's words made Gao's eyelids jump and his heart was shocked. "What do you want to do?"
"Nothing, just say it." Ferguson burst into laughter.
But the more he was like this, the colder he was.
This season's China city has indeed performed very well. Although the performance has declined after entering may, it has finally kept the fourth place in the league, which is not easy for a team who has only been promoted to La Liga for two years.
However, there is also a problem. In the past two days, many European media have started to turn over the old accounts, hyping the conflict of interest between alpine and Chinatown. They are waiting for UEFA to make a ruling and to see a good play.
This season, micchu is second to Messi in the shooter list, surpassing villa, Torres, Higuain and Diego Costa, which makes Spanish players famous.
After a season of stable play, michu's strength and technical and tactical characteristics have been basically recognized. He has also been selected into the Spanish national team, and many European giants have also focused on the treasure of Chinatown.
"You don't really want to dig michu, do you?" I'm curious about the cold.
Ferguson is really cheeky, not afraid to admit it, but
"Don't worry, if I want to dig your people, I will tell you in advance." After a pause, the old man Shi ran said: "michu is really in my list of reinforcements, but he is the second choice, unless the first is frustrated, otherwise..."
"Who's number one?" Gao Han asked very gossip.
Every summer, any team in a certain position of the recruitment, often will be finalized ABCD several programs, from which the priority ranking, focus on attacking the first candidate, after failure and then back to the second.
Michu is a Spanish player with good physical fitness. It's no problem to adapt to the Premier League, but if Gao is not wrong, Ferguson's choice should be in the Premier League.
Is it Drogba?
Ivory Coast elephant king really wants to leave Chelsea, but he is not young.
"It's too early to say, when you beat Barcelona, I'll tell you!" Ferguson laughed on purpose.
