Chapter 559： Chief poisonous tongue

"Nonsense, just nonsense!"

<> At the training base in Carrington, west of Manchester, Ferguson slapped a newspaper **** his desk.

This made several people in the office startled and looked at the old Scottish man.

"Jazz, what's the matter?" Chief Assistant Coach Mike Ferran stepped forward.

"Watch for yourself!" Ferguson pushed the newspaper over, turned and sat on the office chair.

Mike Phelan picked up the newspaper from the table and found that the Sun newspaper reprinted a column on the front page.

The author of the article is Charlene Lahry.

As soon as Mike Phelan saw this name, he immediately thought of a beautiful English beauty.

Beauty is beautiful, but the content in the article is very sharp.

For example, Charlene Lahry mentioned in the article that Manchester United's peak moment should be in 2006 to 2009.

At that time, Manchester United had Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez, Carrick and other midfield stars, and Evra, Ferdinand and Vidic in the backcourt. They were all at their peak. .

Veterans such as Scholes, Giggs, and Gary Neville are also old and healthy.

Therefore, in those few years, the Red Devils Manchester United almost swept Europa!

Mike Phelan is not surprised at this view, because it is a fact!

But the next few words, let alone Ferguson, even Mike Phelan was irritated.

In the article, Charlene Laheri believes that ever since Cristiano Ronaldo left the Red Devils, Ferguson’s team has been gnawing at its laurels. Ferguson is more concerned about his retirement and has long lost the desire to enterprising. power.

"In the past few years, Manchester United has been like a lingering elderly man, who is old but does not admit that he is old."

"Ferguson has no longer continued to lead Manchester United to create brilliant ambitions since the last time he announced his retirement from the team because he did not have a crown. His persistence is more just to draw a glorious sentence for his Red Devils era. ."

"Today's Red Devils, everything they do is just to satisfy the competitive spirit of their old coach!"

When Mike Phelan saw this, he couldn't help but glanced at Ferguson secretly, and sighed inwardly, no wonder the old Sir was so angry. Who is he who is so ridiculed, can he not get angry?

Looking further down, Mike Ferran himself was angry.

Charlene Laheri once again pointedly pointed out in the column that Manchester United's performance in the past few years was not satisfactory, and another very important reason is that Ferguson's shortcomings.

"Those who think that Ferguson is a master of tactics, more from the point of view of performance, but in the football circle, Ferguson is notorious for his stubbornness, he has always only been willing to minor in the four-four-two tactics. Make up, refuse to make revolutionary changes, and behind the success of Manchester United from 2007 to 2009, it is not Ferguson, but Queiroz!"

"Queros is the real tactician. After he entered Carrington, he helped Ferguson abolish Manchester United's rigid four-four-two tactic and replaced it with a continental European tactical style. This made Manchester United in those years , The tactics are more flexible, full of flexibility and change."

"After Queiroz left Manchester United, Ferguson's rigid tactical thinking once again bound the pace of Manchester United. Mike Ferran, who replaced Queiroz, was far inferior to his predecessor, making the team's overall style retreat in a big step. Coupled with the aging of the players, the gap between Manchester United and the strong European teams has widened."

"I believe that all fans who have watched the 2011 Champions League final will not think that Manchester United and Barcelona are at the same level. It is a contest between two teams of different grades!"

"Even in the home base of the Red Devils, in the Premier League, Manchester United's dominance has also been challenged by Manchester City, Chelsea and other teams. Coupled with Southampton this season, Manchester United's advantage is becoming less and less obvious."

"The most obvious is the 2011-12 season. Ferguson originally planned to retire after the end of the season. However, because Manchester United suffered a tragic reversal in the last round of Manchester City and lost the league championship, as a result, he was unwilling to retire empty-handed. Ferguson announced the postponement of his retirement."

"From this point, it is not difficult to see that the overall strength of Manchester United is going downhill!"

"In the final analysis, it is not someone else who is causing Manchester United's current predicament, but their coach, Ferguson!"

"From the perspective of professional football, Ferguson is undoubtedly a great head coach because he has almost all the honors that a professional coach can get."

"But if, in terms of his contribution to football, Ferguson is not great. Among the current coaches, he is not as good as Guardiola, not as good as Rehagel, or even as his assistant coach Queiroz, let alone Even now, Bielsa is still leading the development of football tactics!"

"From the perspective of a football practitioner and veteran football fan, I believe that Bielsa, who is determined to make progress, will be able to lead the vigorous Southampton and defeat the lifeless Manchester United led by the old-fashioned Ferguson!"

After reading this article hastily, Mike Phelan fell to the ground with great anger.

"Excessive! Outrageous! Ignorance!"

Seeing his angry look, he almost cursed!

Actually say I am far inferior to Queiroz?

Would I be inferior to Queiroz?

But after venting for a while, Mike Ferran resisted the anger in his heart and looked at his immediate boss again.

The old Sir is still angry at this time!

"Sir, don't take it to heart, everyone knows that this reporter is a high-profile Southampton fan!"

Ferguson remained silent, obviously still unwilling.

"Huh, at her age, does she know how to play? She said I'm far worse than Queiroz, I..."

When he said this, Ferguson suddenly raised his head and stared at him.

In Manchester United, especially in Carrington, everyone knows that Queiroz is a thorn in Ferguson's heart.

It is said that when Queiroz was going to Real Madrid to coach, Ferguson persuaded him.

Later, the Portuguese failed to coach at Real Madrid. After class, Ferguson invited Queiroz back to Manchester United.

Within a few years, Queiroz seized the opportunity and once again chose to leave Manchester United to coach the Portuguese national team alone.

For this matter, Ferguson was angry for a long time.

Because Queiroz has always been the most ideal successor in his mind!

Asking himself, Mike Phelan also had to admit that in Ferguson's mind, he would never compare to Queiroz.

As for the Portuguese, they are naturally capable.

Isn’t that? Not long ago, a British reporter went to investigate the reasons for the rapid development of football in the United States in recent years?

As a result, in 1994, the United States invited Queiroz to write a more than 100-page outline for the development of American football, and then the Major League Soccer was established in 1996.

Since then, American football has ushered in an era of rapid development.

Therefore, it is also said that Queiroz laid the foundation for the take-off of American football!

Mike Phelan, who knew all of this, felt depressed in his heart, and his complaint against Charlene Laheri was even deeper.

Yes, I know, I’m not as good as Queiroz, but don’t you need to be so straightforward, tell me in the newspaper?

Anyway, I'm the first assistant coach of Manchester United. There is a man with a face in English football. You say that, let me have this face, where should I put it?

But Mike Phelan's mind didn't get complicated for too long, and Ferguson quickly stood up.

"Mike!"

"I'm here!" Mike Feilan reacted immediately.

"Notify the Information Department, from now on, I will ban Charlene Lahry and the Southern Echo where she is located, and then warn me the Sun and tell them to be careful!"

When Mike Phelan heard this, he hesitated, "Jazz, warn the Sun, is this... not great, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, at the critical moment of winning, they dare to do so, why don't we dare to do it?" Ferguson almost furious.

He has always been an adjoining master who must repay him, not easy to mess with!

Mike Phelan saw that the old Sir was so strong, he could only bow his head and agree.

"Notify the players again, against West Ham United on the weekend, you must win it for me anyway!"

Speaking of this, Ferguson almost gritted his teeth and shouted, "I want them to despair!"

…………

…………

Three hours later, the headquarters of the London Sun

Editor-in-chief Rebekah Wade received a message from Manchester United from his subordinates.

"What? Warning?"

Rebekah Wade jumped into thunder.

"I'm rubbing, in this land of England, we have always been the only one in the Sun to warn others. When is it their turn to warn us? Manchester United will warn us? What do we report and what not, do we have to get his Ferguson's consent?"

"Uh, the editor-in-chief, in fact, Manchester United's attitude is not so tough, just..."

"Just what?" Rebekah Wade interrupted his men directly.

"I've already called, and I'm not being tough? Is it called being tough if someone announces that we are banned from the Sun?"

Rebekah Wade is not a messy master, so the Sun newspaper under his command is notoriously messy.

On weekdays, which of those celebrities are not polite to The Sun, and not respectful to Rebekah Wade?

Manchester United? Ferguson? Dare to send a warning?

Turn him upside down!

"Okay, you dare to warn me, if I am impolite, others will think we are good for bullying!"

Rebekah Wade immediately pressed the phone on the desk and shouted, "Steven, come here!"

A minute later, panting Steven Howard appeared in Rebekah Wade's office.

"Go, I'll give you one afternoon and write me a draft immediately."

Steven Howard was immediately excited. The editor personally ordered this, isn't this a good opportunity for flattering?

"Editor in chief, the title is..."

"The topic is my own, the theme is, Manchester United has no hope of winning, Ferguson must be empty-handed this season!"

Steven Howard was taken aback for a moment, this subject is a bit...

"What? You can't write it?"

Rebekah Wade was a little unhappy when he saw him startled.

Why are one or two of the people so afraid of Manchester United and Ferguson?

Is the Sun the uncrowned king after all?

"Oh, no, write it, it must be done!" Steven Howard nodded immediately.

"Well, UU reading www.uukānshu.com, you will immediately collect the black material about Manchester United and Ferguson, and you must give me a whole piece of imposing commentary, preferably the one that **** off Ferguson!"

Steven Howard nodded hurriedly, but he was sweating in his heart.

Good boy, hapless Ferguson, hapless Manchester United, how did you provoke our editor-in-chief?

Steven Howard is completely foreseeable, if this article of the Sun is published, it will definitely be an uproar.

If Manchester United endure it, that's okay, but if they dare to fight back, the Sun would like to make news!

By that time... it must be a series of wars of words!

At the thought of this, Steven Howard's eyes flashed.

The war of words is good, once there is a war of words, wouldn't he, the chief of the Sun newspaper, have the opportunity to show his talents?

Well, just do it!
