Chapter 254 Ferguson
Manchester is the most prosperous city in the UK except London, and it is also the first industrialized city in the world. The city has a long history and a strong industrial atmosphere.
Most importantly, this is a city with a football-crazed atmosphere.
In this city, there are countless professional or semi-professional teams. Of course, there are only two most famous teams. United.
Some people have said that Manchester is a city with clear distinctions. There are only two colors in this city, one half is blue and the other half is red.Blue naturally refers to Manchester City, while red is Manchester United.
The Manchester City team nicknamed "Blue Moon" was founded in 1894, but its predecessors "St. Mark's Church" and "Advik" were established in 1880 and 1887 respectively. In a strict sense of history, there are nearly 130 years.
Although it has a long history, Manchester City is not a powerful team in English football. To be precise, they are just an ordinary team cruising in the middle and lower reaches. Historically, before the establishment of the Premier League, Manchester City won the top There are not many champions in the league, FA Cup and League Cup. For a long time afterwards, Manchester City's record went from bad to worse, and even fell to England's third-tier league (Group B). After years of ups and downs, In the end, he returned to the top league.
However, in the new season, Manchester City received a capital injection from former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, and Blue Moon, which has a large amount of funds, began to recruit recruits aggressively, vowing to make a big difference in the league.
Elano, Martin Petrov, Michael Ball... These well-known European football stars joined in one after another, which greatly enhanced the strength of Blue Moon. In the first half of the new season's league, Manchester City's performance is not bad, currently ranked fifth in the Premier League, and has the qualifications to compete for tickets to the Champions League next season.
The time has turned to the winter transfer period, and Manchester City, which still wants to continue to supplement the team, has set its sights on the Iberian Peninsula. Fan Bizhuang, a Chinese star who has shined in the league this season, suddenly entered their field of vision.
In fact, there is an episode here. At the beginning, Manchester City did not pay attention to Fan Bizhuang, a rookie in La Liga. However, after a certain round of the league, Manchester United coach Ferguson expressed his appreciation in public. A Chinese player named "Fan", as Manchester United's rival in the same city, how could Manchester City not pay attention to it, and this attention immediately aroused great interest in Fan Bizhuang - of course, such interest is not only In terms of competition, as we all know, China is the most populous country in the world, and the market and business opportunities contained in it can be said to have unlimited potential. Countless European teams want to develop this huge market that contains gold mines.
Manchester City is no exception, and at this point, they have an inherent advantage over most European teams. The reason is very simple. Manchester City has a player from China. The team's main right back Sun Jihai is a Chinese.
Manchester City is not considered a wealthy team in England's top league, but in China, there are quite a lot of fans. Most of the reasons are due to Sun Jihai. When Chinese football was in darkness, Sun Jihai was still in the world. The Premier League, one of the best leagues in the world, can bring some comfort to the fans. The fans also buy it, and naturally there are many supporters.
It can not only enhance the strength of the team, but also attack rivals in the same city. At the same time, it can also use this to further develop the Chinese market. A transfer application was sent to Villarreal immediately.
But obviously, Villarreal has no interest in the transfer application proposed by Manchester City at all. 1000 million pounds is indeed not a small amount, but Fan Bizhuang is currently the most famous and influential player in the seaside town. It would not be an exaggeration to say that a star is a pillar. Such a team's future core, the club's executives will only sell it off unless their brains are convulsed.
Manchester City's transfer application was directly rejected and returned, and Manchester United, which sent a transfer application immediately afterwards, also did not make a good profit.
As I said earlier, Manchester City has two world-famous professional teams, one is Blue Moon Manchester City, and the other is Red Devils Manchester United.Compared with Manchester City, which has neither high nor low results, the Red Devils can be called infinite. They are not only the undisputed overlords in the Premier League, but also one of the most important clubs in European football. No exaggeration for the wealthy.
In the honor room of Manchester United, there are more than 100 championship trophies of various competitions on display. Before the establishment of the Premier League, they won a total of 11 top league championships. The team that has won the most Premier League titles in the world, with a total of nine times.As for domestic championships such as the FA Cup and the League Cup, they are even softer.
This is more than that, in the top European football Champions League, Manchester United has also stood on the top of Europe twice, especially in the 1999 Champions League final, Manchester United staged a classic reversal, 90 in 0 minutes : 1 behind the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, then Beckham's two corner kicks helped Sheringham and Solskjaer both make contributions, and Manchester United miraculously succeeded in reversing. Europe.
It was also in this year that Manchester United's reputation gradually spread to any corner of the world and became a household name.Beckham, Roy Keane, Cantona, Scholes...these bright names are enough to make the whole world worship and go crazy.
Although since the beginning of the new century, Arsenal and Chelsea, which has a huge injection of Russian oil oligarchs, have caused a lot of trouble for Manchester United's hegemony for a certain period of time, but the red empire built by Ferguson is still in adversity. Moving forward, after a short period of dormancy, they regained their position as the number one overlord of the Premier League.
It can be said that Manchester United is a truly top giants in the world, and Old Trafford is a football mecca that countless professional players dream of.
For such a super giant, he took a fancy to his own players, and Pellegrini's first feeling was stunned, and then pleasantly surprised.Whether he is willing to let Fan Bizhuang go or not, Ferguson's preference clearly expresses that Fan Bizhuang is indeed a true genius and a young player with unlimited potential.This is a kind of affirmation, and at the same time, it proves that his vision of knowing people is not wrong.
Of course, happiness is happiness, but on this issue, Pellegrini will not compromise at all. Manchester United is strong and powerful, but so what, Fan Bizhuang is his most beloved disciple , Fan Bizhuang is the most important part of the blueprint for the future he designated, and he will never allow anyone to come to pick peaches before they succeed.
No matter what Red Devils Manchester United, no matter what Sir Alex Ferguson is, it will not work!
"Eight million pounds? Tsk tsk, the price is not bad, but compared to their brothers in the same city, this quotation is a bit too depressing."
Pellegrini looked at the document in his hand, sneered, put it gently on the table, then shook his head, as if talking to himself, "I guess they didn't know that Manchester City also sent a message. I will apply, but even if I know, even if the price is doubled, Fan, I will definitely not sell it!"
Pellegrini directly ordered Mr. Ruben and Rudos standing in front of him: "Reply to them, two words: don't sell!"
.....................................................................................................................
"Not for sale?"
United Kingdom, Manchester City.
Ferguson, wearing a pair of presbyopic glasses, was sitting in his office, holding a document in his hand, which was the reply fax from Villarreal.
His brows were wrinkled, as if he was lost in thought.
In front of him stood a middle-aged man with a broad nose. He was Campos, a staff member of the club's transfer department.
When Ferguson lowered his head to think, Campos hesitated to put forward his own opinion: "The price of 800 million pounds is already an extremely favorable price for a newcomer in the professional arena. But their attitude is still to refuse, I think... they should be trying to raise the price."
Speaking of this, Campos sighed: "I used to hear that the vampires in Portugal and the Netherlands were greedy, but I didn't expect that the romantic and beautiful Spaniards were also so greedy. Sir, at a price of 800 million pounds, buying a vampire who is not yet in the top class Young players who have proven themselves in the league, is it really worth it?"
As soon as the words fell, Campos closed his mouth immediately, and Ferguson's sharp eyes like eagle eyes were fixed on him, which made him break out in a cold sweat.
In the Manchester United team, Ferguson's authority is unquestionable. From the top to the bottom of the club, including the top board members, no one dares to question this stubborn and motivating Scottish old man. The staff of the transfer department dared to question the club's biggest boss. He even wondered if he was crazy for looking for shit.
But when Campos thinks about it carefully, Ferguson's vision of knowing people is really not a boast. The former generation of Class 92, and later C. Luo, Rooney and others, which one was not brought to Old Trafalgar when they were unknown It's not that no one has questioned Ford, but the fact is that all the young people brought by Ferguson have become the mainstay of the team, even Rooney, Ronaldo and others , and became a world-class superstar.
With this ability to know people, anyone can only say the word "obedience".
Ferguson's sharp eyes lingered on Campos for a long time, and finally retracted them. When Campos was relaxed, Ferguson finally spoke.
