Chapter 948 "Poaching Corners"

Chapter 948 "Poaching Corners"

As the saying goes, as long as the hoe is swung well, there is no corner that cannot be dug.

In all kinds of transfer transactions in today's world football, all clubs, scouts, coaches and even club executives are all fighting with eighteen skills. As long as they can find the players they like, they can use any tricks .

Speaking of this point, Ferguson's skill in wielding a small hoe is definitely the best in the world.The most famous example is that at the end of the last century, Ferguson brought Leeds United's leading striker Eric Cantona under his command.

The "poaching case" this time can be described as both classic and erroneous, quite dramatic.At that time, Manchester United's main striker Dublin suffered a serious fracture and serious injury, so he was exempted from the game. Ferguson wanted to introduce a striker to fill the vacancy. His goal was the striker Beardsley who was playing for Everton at the time, but a call from Leeds United came in and changed everything.

The chairman of Leeds United at the time, Forbit, asked Manchester United if they were willing to sell Irwin. Ferguson had an idea and asked if the other party was willing to sell Cantona, but the other party told them that they would need half an hour to respond.This answer made Ferguson extremely shocked. A talented shooter like Cantona actually said that he only needs to discuss it for half an hour. Sell!

Ferguson didn't know what was going on inside the Leeds United team, but he knew that this was a great opportunity to get a top player, so he quickly followed up himself, and the next day, he signed Cantona.

As for the later story, the world knows that Cantona not only created a red Premier League dynasty for Manchester United, Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Beckham and other 92 generations also became known as the king of Manchester United. The legend thrived around the world, and the Red Empire became famous all over the world.

It can be said that this is the successful transfer transaction that Ferguson is most proud of.

And now he seems to have swung the hoe at Arsenal again, targeting Robin van Persie, the current captain of the Gunners.

This was also an idea from Ferguson. Of course, it was not intentional to disgust Wenger, an old enemy. Although he also had such a thought, it was more because Ferguson really admired this top scorer from the Netherlands.

When Van Persie played for Feyenoord in the Eredivisie, Ferguson had already paid attention to this young talented shooter, but later he was taken by Wenger first, and then Van Persie's development in the Premier League was not smooth. He was plagued by injuries most of the time, but Wenger and Arsenal still maintained their confidence and support in him.

From this aspect, Arsenal's approach is impeccable. During the most difficult period of Van Persie, they still persisted. When Bergkamp, ​​Henry and other old gunmen left the team, they gradually left the injured Van Persie. He also began to provoke the backbone of the team, and he repaid the trust of Wenger and the team with his excellent performance.

From the beginning of the 08-09 season, Van Persie has ushered in a bursting period of state. He has scored more than 20 goals in two consecutive seasons. His amazing performance is enough to rank among the top strikers in the Premier League.

With such an excellent performance, Van Persie naturally re-entered Ferguson's sight.Ferguson is also very clear that it is not easy to recruit Van Persie. Arsenal is also a wealthy team in the Premier League. They have the kindness of knowing and nurturing Van Persie. Now the Dutchman is the main core of Arsenal, the captain of the team. , this difficulty is not ordinary.

The only "weakness" is that Arsenal's performance in recent years has not been satisfactory. This is why Ferguson said "if you want to stand on a bigger stage, come to him". Give it a try, it's good if you can dig it, but if it doesn't work, it's not bad to plant a seed in the other person's heart.

……

Wenger didn't know that his confidant had just been "seduced" by his old rival. At the press conference after the game, the professor calmly expressed his views on the game. He affirmed the performance of the players of the two teams , also congratulated Manchester United on creating a new Premier League winning streak record.

For Fan Bizhuang, Wenger is full of praise.

"We came to Old Trafford well prepared and we were satisfied with the way the game went. But unfortunately, at the last moment, our team fell again. It's frustrating, but the game is That way, nobody knows what's going to happen next second. We've done everything we can."

"Manchester United's performance is worthy of their current position in the table, but we also proved that Arsenal is still a very strong team. Of course, Fan's goals are decisive. He is now the Premier League and even the world football team. The best player in the world, he single-handedly changed the outcome of the game. To have such a top player, Sir Alex is undoubtedly happy."

Wenger made no secret of his admiration for Fan Bizhuang, but he didn't talk any more, and then left the venue after praising his players' performance.

As the winner, Ferguson was naturally full of joy. He was not at all annoyed by Wenger's departure. If he were the loser, he probably wouldn't be in a good mood.

"The lads are amazing and I'm so proud of them. ... It turns out we're still on the winning track and we're going to keep winning!"

……

In this round of the league, the double-red duel between Manchester United and Arsenal is the focus of this round. After the results of the game came out, it naturally aroused heated discussions in public opinion.

"3:2! Manchester United captured the Gunners at home!"

"Lore! The most thrilling plot! The last 3 minutes are as exciting as a Hollywood drama!"

"Fifteen consecutive victories, Manchester United set a new Premier League winning streak record!"

"Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur...Now it's Arsenal's turn!...All the powerful opponents have been killed. Who else can stop Manchester United like this?"

The overwhelming admiration and praise were sent to Manchester United like a flood.The media and fans talked about Fan Bizhuang's lore and marveled at Manchester United's new winning streak. However, the scandal and gossip exposed by an unknown London tabloid "England Football News" was intentionally or unintentionally exposed. I ignored it.

On the front page of the "England Football News", there was a photo of Manchester United coach Ferguson and Van Persie standing and talking after the game. The title of the article was-"Ferguson poached someone face to face! This time his goal is Arsenal. Nathan captain Robin van Persie!".

Of course, it is not that this newspaper has any substantive "evidence". On the contrary, the way for tabloids to survive is to catch rumors, or even make up random things. It is not known which cameraman on the sidelines they got. This photo came, and then he made up a gossip story with a big brain hole-British fans have long been immune to such gossip news, so they just laughed it off.

As everyone knows, the "England Football News" has a big brain hole, and it is really almost the same as the truth of the matter...

……

After the match with Arsenal, Ferguson announced the order to disband the team.This round of the league is over, and the Premier League will enter a short rest period-there is no such thing as a winter break in the Premier League. When other European leagues enter the winter break, the Premier League is in full swing.

This is also where the Premier League is completely different from other leagues. Compared with other European leagues, the Premier League has more games and a more intensive schedule. The league, domestic cups, giants and European competition tasks, the Premier League team can be said to be all There is no rest throughout the year, and the season is full of non-stop battles.

This is why the Premier League has a faster pace, more intense competition, and is more enjoyable to watch.Many powerful teams have to play so many games every season, which puts a huge burden on their physical and mental health. After all, players are human, not made of iron. Many teams that aim to win the championship lose to some lower or even bottom teams during the season. This is the reason. Hearts against distracted tyrants.

This also reflects from the side how amazing it is for Manchester United to win [-] consecutive victories this season.

Of course, the four fronts of the domestic cup, league, and Champions League go hand in hand, and the burden on Manchester United is also very heavy. In addition, there is no rest adjustment during the winter break, and the second half of the season is expected to be even more exhausting.

And this time, the nearly ten-day league rest period is the best opportunity for Manchester United players to rest and adjust.

Because Christmas is approaching, the Premier League is temporarily suspended, and there are only two games left in this year's competition. The half-time championship is almost certain-Manchester United, which has won [-] consecutive victories, is unshakable at the top of the standings. This is enough Let the whole Manchester United team have a happy Christmas with peace of mind.

In the voice of "Merry Christmas" congratulated by teammates and coaches in advance, Fan Bizhuang bid farewell to Carrington.But he did not leave the UK, this Christmas, he will spend in Manchester.

Molina came to Manchester on the second day after Manchester United announced the holiday, but he did not take a rest, and took Fan Bizhuang to participate in the business activities that had been arranged on the schedule. After a series of busy schedules, the time has come The end of December.

Fan Bizhuang and Molina finally finished their "work". On the day before Christmas Eve, the two of them started cleaning at home, and then went to the mall together to buy some items and food needed for the holiday.

On the morning of Christmas Eve, Molina was hanging gift boxes on a small tree he dug from the mountain in the small courtyard, while Fan Bizhuang was hanging colorful ribbons and balloons at home, Kaka and Carlo Lin also came over to help.

Kaka and his wife will also spend this Christmas in Manchester. Fan Bizhuang invited them to come over, and Kaka readily agreed.

When several people were busy, a pair of hands suddenly covered Fan Bizhuang's eyes from behind.

"Guess who I am?"

The melodious voice as crisp as a wind chime rang in his ears, and a bright smile appeared on Fan Bizhuang's face.
