It's not the world's most famous Epsomid deriving, it's not the world's most luxurious Royal Ascot Derby, or even any of the five traditional races in the UK.

Even though it was a small horse race, there were nearly 10,000 spectators at the venue. This shows the influence of horse racing in British society.

Ferguson Ground Horse does not participate in this horse race, he is purely here to relax and relax. So he didn't choose a box and watched the game from the stands.

Before the race he made a small bet on a horse, which was not a high amount. As he said to Donne, "Gambling is for relaxation, money is secondary".

As a result, he won the championship by betting on the ground horse and he made a small bonus.

"Do you like horse racing, Mr. Donne?" In a lively venue. Ferguson walks through it with Donn to cash out the prize.

"I don't know anything about this." Don shook his head honestly.

"It's a shame. I've been teaching for 32 years, and it's a tiring job, and horse racing is my only chance to relax." Ferguson shrugged. What do you rely on to relax yourself? ”

"Drink."

"The wine is good, too." Ferguson nodded. However, only for red wine."

Having cashed in on his winnings, Ferguson looked very happy.

With his status and status, this money should be despised by the land. But he still showed Donn his "loot" with a red face.

Don't look at Ferguson being called a "hair dryer" in the dressing room, and he is ruthless in the game, like a vicious and savage Tyrannosaurus rex. But off the field. He's actually a very enthusiastic old man with a good reputation. He is well known in English football coaching circles. In addition to Manchester United's good results, more reason is his personal charm.

When Donn first met Alex Ferguson at the England Coaches' Association's cocktail party, he was surrounded by a crowd of peers listening to him. At that time, Don thought that this was just a flattering gesture by his peers to success, and he was very dismissive of it. But now he knows that maybe it's more because Ferguson is a passionate man.

"Four hundred pounds, not much money. It was a horse that everyone looked forward to. I rarely bet my money on an upset, and it's not easy to create an upset right now." Ferguson looked at Don and said meaningfully. Let's go have a drink." He pointed to a tavern in front of him.

Entering the tavern, the two of them found a table in the corner of the wall, so that their conversation could not be disturbed.

There were a lot of people in the tavern and they were all talking about Marseille that had just ended. The most popular sport in the UK, after football, is horse racing.

"How does it feel? Do you see a world completely different from football? Taking a sip of the red wine, Ferguson looked as if he was slightly drunk.

Don looked at the people around him and nodded.

"I have a question, Mr. Donne. Why did you suddenly remember to ask me for a drink? Ferguson put his glass down and looked at Donne, who was sitting across from him. I remember you weren't a hospitable person."

"On a whim." Don told the lie with an unchanging face.

"Then why don't you invite Wenger, didn't that Frenchman already know you? When you were still coaching the youth team."

Ferguson and Arsene Wenger are at odds and everyone knows it. Worried that the repeated mention of this man would ruin Ferguson's good mood, Donn waved his hand: "I said it's not English League time......

Ferguson laughed: "I think it's a coincidence. I just rejected Nottingham Forest's offer for Ruud van Nistelrooy. You just called me and asked me to come out for a drink...... Isn't there any connection between that? ”

Now that the intention has been recognized, there is no need to continue this play. Tang En shrugged helplessly: "That's right, there is a relationship here, and it is a very big relationship. I very much hope that you will sell Ruud van Nistelrooy to Nottingham Forest."

Ferguson looked at Donn with a serious look on his face, "You're so strange, Mr. Donn. For a player to come and ask the opposing head coach for a drink...... You're probably the first person to do this. Do you know Manchester United's heritage? ”

"Of course. But I don't think we're competitors." Don smiled.

"Don't you blush when you talk nonsense, Mr. Donn? Who did last season keep United out of the top two for the second time in 18 years? Ferguson asked, staring at Don, sounding like he was questioning him.

'But last season's winner was Chelsea.'

"If I sell you Ruud van Nistelrooy, you might be the champion next season." Ferguson shook his head. I insist that Nottingham Forest are becoming a formidable rival to Manchester United and that the Red Devils have no tradition of selling players to their main rivals."

Being able to get recognition and praise from his opponent should have been a good thing for Donne, but at this time he wished that Ferguson would look down on him.

"That's just a matter of words......" Don thought the old man was surprisingly stubborn. There is absolutely no reason for him to convince the people in front of him to nod to Ruud van Nistelrooy's transfer. What's more, he doesn't want to show himself too weak in front of his opponents.

He really couldn't, and he had to give up on Van Nistelrooy and pursue other strikers.

Dimitar Berbatov had already been preemptively signed by Tottenham at a time when Donn was still reeling from the frustration of losing to Barcelona in the Champions League final and had little time to focus on the transfer market. Prior to Anelka's problem, Donn thought Forest had enough strength up front and didn't need to add any new players. But now in order to restrain Anelka, in order to make him understand his situation, he has decided to make a move in the transfer market.

Van Nistelrooy is the perfect fit. It's a bit of a shame to give it up in vain......

But what can be done now?

Don took a sip of the wine in his glass, but his mind was thinking about what to do.

It wasn't until he was woken up by Ferguson that he realized he was pouring an empty cup into his mouth......

"Are you preoccupied?" Ferguson asked knowingly.

Don was a little embarrassed. I thought it wasn't all because of you!

Ferguson laughed at Don's expression, and he made no secret of his joy. Can you tell me if you have any other strikers besides the Dutch? ”

Don shook his head: "Not at the moment."

"Aha, so I've managed to interfere with my main rival's pre-season plans?"

"You can say the same." Donn shrugged that he had given up on convincing Ferguson to intend. This stubborn old man is not something he can easily say. Even if I really invited him out for a drink.

"Okay, I gave up." He raised his hands, "I admit that we are your main rivals, strong enemies. There is a good chance that Manchester United will be a threat to their dominance in England. Not only that, but I think the Forest will also threaten the European status of the English teams, and next season we will still be aiming for the Champions League. I understand your desire to maintain your dominance. Very well understood. But...... Even if we're rivals on the field, it's okay to drink together off the field, right? ”

"Of course." Ferguson nodded.

Donn poured himself a drink and held it up: "Then let's not talk about Manchester United and Nottingham Forest today, don't talk about football. Tell me about your favorite horse races......"

The two of them really didn't talk about football that day, it seemed that they were not two rival managers in the league, but more like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, Ferguson talked very happily, and Don drank equally happily.

When they were about to part, the two were still reluctant, and they agreed that they would go out to drink and watch horse racing together if they had nothing to do.

But when the two return to their respective teams, this friendship is immediately thrown aside, and who calls them their own masters?

Don was the first to meet the Don Landians because they lived together.

"Failed?" See Donn's depressed expression. Don just knew.

En threw himself on the sand, pinched the sun**, and the smell of alcohol came out with his movements.

"Drunk?"

"I didn't ...... Not drunk."

Hearing Don answer this, Don pursed his lips, his tongue was big and he said he wasn't drunk?

"Don't ...... Don't look at me, my tongue is big. Me, my brain, my brain...... Still awake, still! ”

The ghost believes that his mind is sober.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow...... Tomorrow, fax Manchester United, raise the price, raise the price to fifteen million...... Wan ......" Donn's voice became quieter and quieter the more he spoke, and in the end there was only snoring.

Hearing Don's last words, Don turned his head to look at Don who was already asleep on the sand.

Is this still sober-minded?

He shook his head and sighed.

When he woke up the next day, Don was already in his bedroom. He squinted as he looked out the window at the bright sunlight shining in.

It's another hangover......

After washing, dressing up, having breakfast with Don, and then rushing to the club to start a new day's work.

The first thing Donn did was to make another offer to Manchester United, and the target was Ruud van Nistelrooy.

This time Don was really surprised. He did think that yesterday was just Donn's drunken nonsense, but he didn't expect him to remember it completely.

Chris Lack, on the other hand, thought that Donn had already spoken to Ferguson yesterday, so there was no doubt.

Fifteen million pounds, this is Nottingham Forest's new offer for Manchester United, an increase of five million from the first offer. Donn is determined to win Van Nistelrooy.

"Again?" After receiving the fax, Quiroz was a little surprised, Ferguson told him about yesterday's incident, and there seemed to be no agreement or tacit understanding between them.

Ferguson took Forest's second offer and watched it intently.

This Tony. Donn, didn't he give up?

"Refusal?" Queiroz asked.

Ferguson waved his hand and didn't speak, just continued to look at what was in his hand, as if he could see what Don was really thinking from the piece of paper.

When Manchester United bought the Dutchman, they spent 19 million pounds, setting a new record for England's transfer amount at that time.

Now, five years later, Ruud van Nistelrooy has dedicated the best and best years of his career to Manchester United, where he has truly developed into a world-class goalscorer.

This beautiful partnership could have continued, but unfortunately...... The relationship between the two people finally broke down.

But Ferguson has seen a lot of this kind of thing. He has been in this big club for nearly twenty years, and during this time, he has welcomed countless people, whether it is a rookie who has been trained by himself, or a strong advocate of buying Earth Star. Whiteside, Paul. Ince, Stam, Beckham, Roy. Keane, now it's Van Nistelrooy's turn again.

In the great Red Devils Manchester United, there is only one superstar. Only one person is indispensable. That's their head coach Alex. Sir Alex Ferguson. Whenever a player wants to challenge his authority here, there is only one end - to be kicked out of Carrington. He is not saddened by the departure of Ruud van Nistelrooy, who now have a group of talented young people and the future is theirs. Even if Van Nistelrooy doesn't contradict himself, he will be eliminated gradually.

Tony. Dawn......

Ferguson thought of the name again.

Three years ago, no one had heard of his name. He also had no impression of the man. It was as if he had fallen from the sky, and suddenly he had led Nottingham Forest back to our sight.

Ferguson searched his memory for everything related to the name.

He finally remembered.

Three years ago, at a coaching reception in the summer, former Nottingham Forest manager Brian Bush was joined by former Nottingham Forest coach Brian Bush. Clough abruptly agreed to attend a special reception for him to be voted England's Manager of the Decade. He was in poor health before this, having just had a liver transplant and had not been seen in public for a long time, and had been shut up in his home in Derbyshire all day.

Bobby. Robson tried to invite Clough. After all, Ferguson's current achievements deserve to have those old-timers congratulate him. At that time, Ferguson thought that Clough would not come, because this old man with a character had not been told in the media before that he was not.

I didn't expect Clough to not only come. And also brought a person. At that time he did not introduce anyone who was present to the young man who was standing beside him and bringing him clothes. Ferguson is also only a one-sided relationship. I glanced at it and didn't pay any more attention.

Now he remembered that the young man who looked like Clough's personal doctor was none other than Tony, the young marshal of England who is now very popular. Dawn.

In three years, he grew from an unknown boy to lead the team in the triple jump for three years and reached the final of the Champions Cup. Forced Barcelona to the point of being embarrassed.

Ferguson suddenly realised that even if he didn't sell Ruud van Nistelrooy to Nottingham Forest, Donn would continue to threaten his position. And that kid is right, he is not only threatening Manchester United's position, but also Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool. and the status of the great powers of Europe.

This kid is shrouded in a mysterious aura, and it is still unclear how Don was born in the lower divisions of France. Franck Ribery, who is now a regular for France; I don't know how he saw that George was still working as a porter. Wood has this football talent; I don't know why he is so convinced of Gareth. Bale, a young player who has only been training for one day at Southampton, has a lot of potential; When Pepe was still in Porto and couldn't play and didn't prove himself at the top of the league at all, he didn't hesitate to use the special talent clause once a season to get Pepe's labor certificate; Piquet and Bendtner have been the stars of hope that he and Wenger have been watching for many years, and Donne, who has just been promoted to the English League, seems to have known these two men before they did, and he has made these two signings in a flash of lightning, considering that he was still in the first division and even the youth team...... How could he have such a long-term vision? At that time, I knew that I was going to become the manager of the team, to lead the team to England, to lead the team to the Champions League?

After all, I want to retire...... What will Manchester United do then? Queiroz is a man who can't expect too much, he can only be an assistant coach...... Scouring England, he felt that the only man who could take over his mantle was Tony. Don is out. This is a young man with a winning tradition and an endless thirst for championships.

It's better to simply sell a favor.

"Agree to their offer and allow them to talk to the Dutch broker. At the same time, it also accepts offers from Bayern Munich."

Queiroz was taken aback by hearing Ferguson say this suddenly.

"But, sir, you didn't mean ......"

Ferguson knew what Quiroz was going to say, so he interrupted it and answered the doubts in the assistant coach's mind very seriously: "Carlos, I have eight English League titles and five FA Cups at Manchester United, a Champions Cup, a Cup winner, a European Cup. A Toyota Cup title is not just earned by not selling players to competitors."
