80_80813 "Nonsense, it's just nonsense!" ”

At his training base in Carrington, west of Manchester, Ferguson slammed a newspaper on his desk.

This startled several people in the office, and they all looked at the old Scottish handsome.

"Sir, what's wrong?" Lead assistant coach Mike Phelan stepped forward.

"See for yourself!" Ferguson pushed the newspaper over and sat down in his office chair.

Mike Phelan picked up the newspaper from his desk and found that it was The Sun who had reprinted an op-ed on the front page.

The author of the article is Charlene Lahri.

As soon as Mike Phelan saw the name, he immediately conjured up a beautiful English beauty.

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

For example, Charlene Lahri mentioned in the article that Manchester United's peak moment should have been between 06 and 09.

At that time, Manchester United had stars in midfield such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Carlos Tevez and Michael Carrick, as well as the likes of Patrice Evra, Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic at the back, all of whom were in their prime.

Veterans such as Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville are also getting older.

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

Mike Phelan is not at all surprised by this view, because it is true!

But the next few words, not to mention Ferguson, even Mike Phelan was enraged.

In the article, Charlene Lachry believes that since Cristiano Ronaldo left the Red Devils, Ferguson's team has been gnawing at the old roots, and Ferguson is more concerned about his retirement, and has long lost the desire and motivation to be aggressive.

"In the last few years, Manchester United has been like an old man who is getting older, but he doesn't admit that he is old."

"After announcing that he would stay in the team because of the last retirement declaration because he did not have the title, Ferguson has long since lost his ambition to lead Manchester United to a brilliant Zào, and his insistence is more just to draw a glorious sentence for his Red Devils era."

"Today's Red Devils are just trying to satisfy their aging manager's competitive spirit!"

When Mike Phelan saw this, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Ferguson again, and sighed in his heart, no wonder the old knight was so angry, who else could he not be angry when he was ridiculed like this?

Looking further down, Mike Phelan himself was furious.

Charlene Lahri once again pointed out sharply in her column that Manchester United's poor results in the past few years are also very important because of Ferguson's shortcomings.

"Those who think that Ferguson is a master tactician, more from the perspective of results, but in the football circle, Ferguson's stubbornness is notoriously famous, he has always been willing to only make small repairs in the tactics of 442, and is unwilling to make revolutionary changes, and behind the success of Manchester United in 07-09, it is not Ferguson, but Queiroz!"

"Queiroz is the real tactician, and after he entered Carrington, he helped Alex Ferguson to scrap United's rigid 442 tactics and replace them with a continental European style of tactics, which made Manchester United more flexible, full of flexibility and change in those years."

"After Queiroz left Manchester United, Ferguson's stiff tactical thinking once again tied up the pace of Manchester United, and Mike Ferran, who replaced Queiroz, was far inferior to his predecessor, making the overall style of the team regress in great strides, coupled with the aging of players, making the gap between Manchester United and the European powerhouses widening."

"I believe that all fans who have watched the 2011 Champions League final will not think that Manchester United and Barcelona are teams at the same level, and it is a completely 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 been challenged by teams such as Manchester City and Chelsea, and with Southampton this season, Manchester United's advantage is becoming less and less obvious."

"The most obvious is that in the 2011-2012 season, Ferguson originally planned to retire after the season, but because Manchester United was defeated by Manchester City in the last round, he lost the league title in hand, and as a result, Ferguson, who was unwilling to retire empty-handed, announced that he would postpone his retirement."

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

"And at the end of the day, it's none other than their manager, Alex Ferguson, who is causing Manchester United's current predicament."

"From the competitive perspective of professional football, Alex Ferguson is undoubtedly a great manager because he has won almost all the accolades that a professional coach can receive."

"But if, judging from the contribution to football, Ferguson is not great, among the current managers, he is not as good as Guardiola, not as good as Rehhagel, and even as good as his assistant coach Queiroz, not to mention the madman Bielsa who is still leading the development of football tactics even now!"

"From the perspective of a football practitioner and a veteran football fan, I believe that the enterprising Bielsa will be able to lead the energetic Southampton to defeat the lifeless Manchester United led by the aging Ferguson!"

After reading this article in a hurry, Mike Phelan fell to the ground in anger.

"Excessive! Outrageous! Ignorant! ”

Looking at his angry look, he almost didn't start scolding!

To say that I am far inferior to Queiroz?

Am I inferior to that guy in Queiroz?

But after a while, Mike Phelan held back the anger in his heart and looked at his immediate boss again.

Old Sir is still angry at this time!

"Sir, don't take it personally, everyone knows that this reporter is a well-known Southampton fan!"

Ferguson remained silent, clearly still unfazed.

"Hmph, at her age, she knows ball? I even said that I was far inferior to Queiroz, I ......"

As he said this, Ferguson jerked his head up and glared at him.

At Manchester United, and Carrington in particular, everyone knows that Queiroz is a thorn in Ferguson's heart.

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

Later, the Portuguese failed to coach at Real Madrid, and after the dismissal, Ferguson brought Queiroz back to Manchester United.

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

For this, Ferguson was angry for a long time.

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

Ask yourself, Mike Phelan also has to admit that in Ferguson's mind, he will never be as good as Queiroz.

As for the Portuguese, the ability is naturally there.

No, not long ago, didn't a British reporter go to investigate the reason 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 100-page outline of the development of American soccer, and then in 1996 the Major League Soccer was founded.

Since then, American soccer has ushered in an era of leaps and bounds.

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

Mike Phelan, who knew this clearly, was depressed in his heart, and his complaint against Charlene Lahri was even deeper.

Yes, I know, I'm not as good as Queiroz, but you don't have to be so blunt and say it in the newspaper, right?

Anyway, I'm the chief assistant coach of Manchester United, the number one person in English football, you say that, where do I put my face?

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

"Mike!"

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

"Inform the Ministry of Information that from now on, I will ban Charlene Rahry and her Southern Echo, and give me another warning to the Sun, telling them to be careful!"

When Mike Ferran heard this, he hesitated a little, "Sir, warn the Sun, this is ...... Not really, right? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, at the critical moment of winning the championship, they dare to do this, why don't we dare to do it?" Ferguson almost burst into a rage.

He has always been a neighbor who must be revenged, and he is not to be messed with!

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

"Inform the players again, against West Ham United at the weekend, you have to win it for me no matter what!"

Speaking of this, Ferguson almost gritted his teeth and shouted, word by word: "I'm going to make them desperate!" ”

…………

…………

Three hours later, the headquarters of the London Sun

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

"What? Warn? ”

Rebekah Wade was also furious.

"I'm rubbing, in the land of England, only we in the Sun have warned others, when will it be their turn to warn us? What do we report and what do we not report, do we still have to get the consent of him Ferguson? ”

"Well, editor-in-chief, actually, Manchester United's attitude is not so tough, it's just ......"

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

"I've called over, and it's not tough? Do you want people to announce the ban on our Sun News, then it is called tough? ”

Rebekah Wade is not usually a master to be messed with, so his Sun newspaper is also notoriously difficult.

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

Manchester United? Ferguson? How dare you give a warning?

It's against him!

"Okay, you dare to warn me, if I am rude, others will think that our sun is good to bully!"

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

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

"Go, I'll give you an afternoon to write me a manuscript right away."

Steven Howard was immediately excited, the editor-in-chief personally gave the order, isn't this a good opportunity to make a sycophant?

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

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

Steven Howard was stunned for a moment, the subject was a bit ......

"What? You can't write it? ”

Rebekah Wade was a little upset when he saw him stunned.

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

In the end, the Sun is still not the uncrowned king?

"Oh no, write, it must be written!" Steven Howard immediately nodded in agreement.

"Well, you will immediately collect black materials on Manchester United and Ferguson, and you must give me a whole piece of imposing commentary, preferably the kind that Ferguson to death!"

Steven Howard nodded busily, but a cold sweat broke out in his heart.

Good boy, hapless Alex Ferguson, hapless Manchester United, how did you get into trouble with our editor-in-chief?

Steven Howard could have foreseen that if this article in The Sun were published, it would be an uproar.

If Manchester United endures it, then it's fine, but if they dare to come out and fight back, the Sun is still eager to make news!

By that time...... It's definitely a series of war of words!

The thought of this made Steven Howard's eyes light up.

The war of words is good, as soon as there is a war of words, won't he, the chief poisonous tongue of the Sun News, have a chance to show his talents?

Well, that's it!.
