Chapter 78 Quote
There are always two kinds of people outside the Carrington training base, loyal fans and annoying but inseparable reporters.

Seeing Ferguson's appearance, the reporters immediately flocked to him. Even though the Manchester United team has successively had legendary superstars like Beckham and Ronaldo, the first target of the reporters will always be this old Scottish man with a big nose.

"Of course I'm not satisfied." Ferguson shook his head angrily and accused, "It's just a three-month suspension. The level of that referee doubts the ability of the FA."

Well, Ferguson is the only one in the Premier League who has the confidence to publicly criticize the FA. He is not afraid at all, and he doesn't care about fines.

"He not only misjudged Ronaldo's penalty as a dive, but also Blackburn's quick free kick completely violated the rules of football." Ferguson's big nose became more and more red, "Any player who gets a red and yellow card for a foul , Free kicks are not allowed to be taken quickly, he should go home to make up lessons!"

The reporter below raised his hand and asked: "Excuse me, will the club appeal to the FA for Ronaldo's red card?"

"Of course, the whole of Britain knows it was a miscarriage of justice."

According to the rules of the FA, the club can appeal for the player's red card after the game, but if the appeal is not passed, the number of suspensions will be increased by one game. The referee has been suspended for three months, and the appeal is likely to pass.

Suddenly a voice rang out from behind the crowd of reporters, "But is it too late?"

The faces of the reporters in front immediately changed, and they turned their heads to glare, while Ferguson pushed the reporters away with a dark face and turned away.

"Hey, which newspaper are you from? Do you understand the rules!"

"Certainly not from Fleet Street!"

"Do you know who you are interviewing? This is Sir Alex Ferguson!"

The accusations made by the reporters made the young reporter unable to lift his head. The "Sports Weekly" reporter Zhou Pan who had been standing on the outermost edge couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled. I had encountered this scene two years ago. .

Ferguson's influence in the Premier League is very detached, and his attitude towards the media can be described in two words, arrogance and disgust.

When Ferguson just entered Old Trafford, he was bombarded by the media when he participated in the media luncheon for the first time. Afterwards, he became hostile as a matter of course. Later, because of the BBC's report that Ferguson and his son had meddled in the transfer of Manchester United to enrich themselves, Ferguson Unilaterally block the BBC.

Those receiving similar treatment include Sky Sports, Fleet Street newspapers, and even Manchester United TV, organized by Manchester United fans, was once on his block list!

Experienced reporters tend to be careful not to offend the old Buddha when interviewing Ferguson. At the same time, Ferguson's status and management style will provide reporters with the best material, such as the 2003 flying boot incident, Sky Sports, which was blocked at the time, completely surrendered to Ferguson for this reason.

And what the reporter said just now undoubtedly stimulated Ferguson severely. With both Rooney and Saha injured, Ronaldo is the only weapon for Manchester United, but first he was suspended for three games with a red card, and after four appearances, he was again. Two yellows and one red are suspended for one game, which is really not good news for Manchester United who are currently in desperate need of points.

The Premier League is different from the other four major leagues and the UEFA Champions League. If you get a red card directly, you will be suspended for three games. If two yellow cards change to one red, you will be suspended for one game. A total of five yellow cards and eight yellow cards will be suspended for one game respectively. .

Although Manchester United is sure that the appeal will be successful, the low efficiency of the FA is known to everyone in the UK, at least two weeks... maybe a month!

So Blackburn didn't appeal the red card for Sun Wu at all. When the appeal was successfully cancelled, tsk tsk, two or three league rounds have passed, and the cancellation of the red card also means an extra yellow card.

Ferguson's insistence on appealing was nothing more than to hate the FA, but the young reporter recklessly pointed it out. It's no wonder Ferguson turned around and left.

Zhou Pan waited for someone while thinking about things.

Zhou Pan is waiting for Gerard Pique today. He applied for an interview the day before yesterday. For this reason, he did not go to the second round of the Blackburn UEFA Cup today, but it is worth it...Zhou Pan asked about it from his peers Well, this young defender has a lot of background, and Arsenal's flag Fabregas and Barcelona's new favorite Leon Messi are also known as the three masters of La Masia 87, and they happen to be on the same axis.

Seeing the tall and thin Pique walk out of the gate, Zhou Pan was about to walk over when a question came to his ears not far away.

"Manchester United has really made an offer? Can you disclose the specific amount?"

"Mr. Carlos, Manchester United is not short of manpower in the midfield, and Anderson and Igors can play both wide and central. Why did they offer Best?"

Zhou Pan shrugged his ears, and suddenly turned his head to look over.

Queiroz in the crowd said with a smile: "Manchester United hopes that outstanding young players from all over the world can play for Manchester United, and I think Best is no exception."

"But Best announced before the Manchester United game that he would renew his contract with Blackburn this year."

"Yes, but the contract renewal does not conflict with the quotation, and the specific quotation is not convenient to disclose at present."

Liar!The reporters were muttering in their hearts that Manchester United wanted to take advantage of Best's failure to renew his contract while buying the bottom line!
Zhou Pan's footsteps moved there involuntarily. If Sun Wu can transfer to Manchester United, then there will be two Chinese players in the Manchester United team, and Sun Wu is likely not to be on loan like Dongfang Zhuo or stay in the reserve team.

"Actually, Manchester United has been observing Best for more than two months, or even longer..." Queiroz seems to be very excited today, "Before the FA Cup final last season, I made a bet with Alex... ... Best won me ten pounds."

"So after the finals, the club arranged for scouts to conduct a long-term inspection of Best." Queiroz listened to the reporter's question and nodded, "Yes, Martin Ferguson did go to London last month to observe Best's performance. .”

Zhou Pan was about to rush into the crowd excitedly, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he saw a big man appearing beside him.

"That's enough! Listening to his news every day, Ronaldo is still talking about it on the training ground, and it's still..." Pique grumbled and took out his mobile phone to call Sun Wu, "No one answered..."

"Best has a game today, the second round of the UEFA Cup." Zhou Pan said with a smile, "Hi, I'm China Zhou who contacted your agent yesterday."
