Chapter 2 and Three: Ferguson and Charlotte's Friendship
"Seeing such an outstanding young man like you, I feel more and more that I am almost too old to walk." Ferguson hugged Charlotte before the friendly match. Judging from his smile, Charlotte was not like an opponent but more Like my juniors.

"Seriously, Sir Alex. I can't imagine how boring the Premier League and Manchester United are without you. In fact... I think you can still coach Manchester United for a few more years." Charlotte also greeted with a smile.

Ferguson was a little surprised: "Do you know something?"

According to historical trajectory, this will be Ferguson's last season in charge.This season he will win the Premier League championship and finally retire without regret, but this news is currently only known to Manchester United executives.Not to mention outside fans and other team coaches, even Manchester United players don't know yet.

In fact, the old man announced his retirement twice in advance. Although he stayed in the end, it had a great impact on Manchester United's morale at that time, so he learned the lessons of the previous two times. Announce the news.

Of course, in order to do a good job after Sir Alex left, Manchester United's boss and club executives only knew in advance.

Charlotte knew that since Sir Alex retired, Manchester United would face a long period of unspeakable turmoil.But it's not easy for him to say these things to the old sir.
Charlotte shrugged: "I already guessed something last season, but don't worry, I won't say anything about it. After all, I'm not a reporter who lives on news and news."

The old man laughed loudly: "Yes, those guys are very annoying. But I don't have much time to deal with them."

Ferguson seemed to be pinched by the neck, and the laughter stopped immediately.

Looking at Charlotte, the other party smiled and looked at him in front of him. What is the meaning in this little kid's eyes?
"Okay. Okay, you little fox." Ferguson smiled again.

Charlotte hugged Ferguson again: "Take care of yourself, Sir!"

"This world belongs to you young people." The old man was full of emotion.

For Ferguson, Charlotte is admired.Even the most hated Arsenal fans and Liverpool fans might have to say that he is a very great manager when he has been the manager.

Fans born in the [-]s grew up listening to legends of great figures such as Busby, Charlton and Shankly, and fans born in the [-]s will grow up listening to the legends of Ferguson.

The interaction between Charlotte and Ferguson was a bit long, and the relationship between the two seemed to be very good. After all, the coaches of the two sides who shook hands and greeted for as long as 3 minutes before the game could not be strangers.

"The boss seems to be very familiar with Mr. Ferguson!" The newcomer James Rodriguez poked the vice-captain Adam Lallana beside him.

"Of course, you have to know that Paul transferred from Manchester United to Southampton after the boss personally went to Carrington to persuade the Jazz."

The match between the two sides soon began. Due to the nature of the friendly match, the Red Devils fans at home did not show much aggressiveness.After all, the relationship between the two teams is not bad. At the same time, after Charlotte led Southampton to upgrade to the Premier League and won the FA Cup, their old Sir Alex spoke highly of Charlotte when he was interviewed by reporters.

So before the game, the Red Devils fans still dedicated their applause to this young Premier League recruit.

For such a friendly match, Charlotte does not have high requirements for the team. He just hopes that the players can fulfill the tactical requirements in training and increase the cooperation of teammates.The reason why I chose the away game before is that I hope that the players can experience the atmosphere of one of the top stadiums in England while feeling a giant like Manchester United as an opponent, so as to lay a good foundation for the new season.

Many small teams in England are very excited when they face Manchester United, and they can often play unexpected games. Although sometimes the ending is similar, the process is definitely beyond the expectations of most fans, and Southampton is no exception.

Southampton, who got the ball, immediately launched an offensive against Manchester United. Aubameyang on the wing used his dribbling and speed advantages to directly pass the Portuguese winger Nani, and then faced the Brazilian full-back Rafael. When Silva was one-on-one, he suppressed the opponent.

Aubameyang, who finally made space on the wing, kicked a cross, and the football flew towards Manchester United's small penalty area.

Vidic has a lot of experience. He got stuck first, then grabbed the ball before Sturridge, and headed the ball to clear.

The football didn't go far, and Clive stopped the ball with his chest to launch a counterattack.In his mind, Southampton was never regarded as an opponent at all, after all, the opponent was too weak.

But at this time, Wanyama, who came up from the back, hooked the football he unloaded with his feet, a bit like a thief with excellent skills, and Clevich, who wanted to stop the ball with his feet, was stunned. .

The Kenyan beast waist gave the ball to Lallana, and Lallana took the ball regardless of 21 and just took a long shot.

As a result, his shot angle was too straight and was easily confiscated by Spanish goalkeeper De Gea.

De Gea, who hugged the football, did not kick off the ball quickly. He found that his teammates seemed to be distracted. Otherwise, how could he be beaten like this by a newly promoted team in just one minute of the game?

So he gestured for his teammates to start taking it seriously, indicating that the game had begun.

Ferguson naturally understood the problems of his own team, and he was a little dissatisfied.He doesn't like this kind of game attitude. Although this is a friendly match and the opponent is not a strong team, but... this is not his reason or excuse.

The Ferguson brand hair dryer was at full power, standing on the sidelines and roaring at the players.

Charlotte also made gestures on the sidelines, indicating that the two sides should not pull and cross, and cut in directly after passing the opponent's full-back.

Why did Charlotte put Aubameyang on the left and James Rodriguez on the right?It is because the dominant foot of the Gabonese striker is right, while the dominant foot of the Colombian midfielder is left.He played the tactics of the winger against the foot. The winger with this characteristic is not a traditional winger but an inward winger, or an inside forward.

Whether it is Aubameyang or James Rodriguez, their personal skills are very good. In addition to their good dribbling and ball protection, their shooting skills are also very superb, which is why Charlotte needs them to cut inside. reason.The closer to the goal, the higher the threat of shooting, and it can also help Sturridge attract some firepower in the middle.

The crosses from the side are basically handed over to the full-backs on both sides. Since last season, Charlotte's tactics have relied heavily on the insertion of the full-backs. This is also the mainstream tactic and type of full-backs in European football.

After the baptism of the hair dryer, it can be seen that the players of Manchester United have obviously concentrated their attention.

No. In the 11th minute, Nani passed one side of Southampton beautifully on the wing. Neither Aubameyang, Carvajal, or Wanyama, who assisted in defense, failed to win the opponent. He had three people in a row.

The Portuguese winger's brilliant performance won the applause of the Manchester United fans, but Sir Alex was standing on the sidelines very unhappy.

This kid is too sticky! !

Although Nani's breakthrough was menacing, Charlotte was not worried.Because this guy has missed the best time to pass the ball, and taking it down will only lead to a dead end.

After the three teammates were passed, Jose Fonte did not rush forward recklessly, but blocked the opponent's inward line, and fought and retreated.

Although both are Portuguese, Jose Fonte and Nani are two extremes. One is that they became famous at a young age and became the young core of Sporting Lisbon after Ronaldo, and finally followed in Ronaldo's footsteps to join the giants. Manchester United is also one of the main members of the Portuguese national team.

As for Jose Fonte, he was just a substitute central defender for Benfica. He wandered through Ferrea and Crystal Palace in his career, and finally went to Southampton now.

Not to mention being selected for the Portuguese national team, he has just played in the Premier League this season.

Just as Jose Fonte was fighting and retreating, Schneiderlin was also in place, and made a gesture to Fonte, and then the French midfielder followed, Fonte blocked him immediately, and the two pinched Nani In the corner.

Charlotte pouted, look, this is a dead end.

Nani also realized that he had missed his chance and took the opportunity to want a corner kick.But Schneiderlin moved faster than him. While Jose Font was suppressing the opponent, the French midfielder stretched out his foot from Nani's back and kicked the ball directly.

The football hit Nani's supporting foot and finally went out of the baseline.

Nani's reaction was quick, and he immediately reached out to complain that the opponent had kicked the ball out of bounds.But the lineman on the sidelines ignored Nani's "report" and pointed his flag at Manchester United's half.

The referee was blocked by these three people, so it was not clear who took the football out of bounds, but after seeing the linesman's flag, he decisively gave Southampton a goal kick.

Nani smiled. It seemed that his interference didn't work, and he didn't mind. He trotted back towards his own half.

Ferguson focused his attention on Schneiderlin. The defensive midfielder has performed very well in the past ten minutes. If he uses his words, he is playing very smartly. A player who has struggled in the low-level leagues can have such a high level. It's not easy for a golf quotient.

Charlotte also noticed Ferguson's eyes, it was so obvious that the old man's head would turn wherever Schneiderlin ran.

After thinking about it, Schneiderlin did transfer to Manchester United in the end, but at that time the head coach of Manchester United was already the famous coach Van Gaal. Could it be that Manchester United was interested in Schneiderlin before Van Gaal?But the one with the most scandals with Schneiderlin is Arsenal.
But that's not important, what's important is.
Charlotte ran to Ferguson's side, covered her mouth with her hand, to avoid being interpreted by some media lip-reading experts, and whispered to Ferguson, "How about it, do you like it? Exchange it with Rooney!"

Ferguson smiled slightly, and naturally understood that this kid was only joking: "Don't worry, I won't poach your corner. Besides, can Southampton afford Wayne's salary?"

charlotte lost
Although Rooney's current weekly salary has not yet reached the terrifying level of 30 pounds, it is still more than 20 pounds
But Charlotte's entanglement is not here. Anyway, he is relieved to hear that Ferguson will not dig Schneiderlin. After all, Schneiderlin is still very important to Southampton now.
