Chapter 48 The Famous Duncan

"Six consecutive victories, who is next?" "

"Benitez: He is comparable to Ferguson! "

"He proved with facts that he is not a lucky coach"

……

The next day's newspapers praised Duncan to an overwhelming height.Except for a small group of diehards "Dun Hei" represented by Johnny in the "London Times", most of the media have turned to Duncan.

The record of six consecutive victories is enough to make Duncan proud. This result is only one step away from the longest seven-game winning streak in Manchester City's history.

The results speak for themselves, not every reporter has a grudge against the head coach.On the contrary, maintaining a good relationship with a head coach is more conducive to the development of news reports.

Those media who only want to break the news for a while and sensationalize the public will not last long.Such is the relationship between Ferguson and Sky Sports.

In 2004, Sky Sports reported a documentary called "Father and Son", which revealed that Ferguson's son, Ferguson Jr., used his father's position to manipulate the transfer market and seek improper benefits.

Ferguson was furious and announced the ban on Sky Sports.Later, when the FA stipulated that Premier League coaches must participate in a program on Sky Sports, Ferguson even preferred to pay a fine rather than attend.

Therefore, after seeing that Duncan has gained a firm foothold in the Premier League, most of the media chose to have a good relationship with him.

The fight is the idea of ​​a long flow of water.

In fact, Johnny, a reporter from the Manchester Times, might not want to lean on Duncan in his heart.But already embracing Diop's thigh, Jonny consciously clarified his position.

As long as Diop doesn't fall, he won't have to worry about breaking the news.

Under the overwhelming rendering of the media, the coaching performance of Manchester City's previous head coaches, including Kevin Keegan and other famous coaches, were all brought out and compared with Duncan one by one.Naturally, Duncan was crowned with a title such as "the first head coach in Manchester City's history".

Some reporters even went to the national team to interview the former Manchester City coach Pierce, who was the head coach of England U21 at the time, to prove how "far-sighted" Pierce's decision to choose Duncan was!
In order to flatter Duncan, some reporters even began to research Duncan's name.Duncan's full name is "Stubbon-Donkey", which translates to "stubborn donkey".This seems to be a bit derogatory.

But the reporters are all-pervasive. They started researching from the surname "Duncan", and then contacted the famous dancer Isabel Duncan, the famous basketball player Tim Duncan...etc. Names, they are all talented!
Some people actually believed such irrelevant words.According to statistics from the Manchester Civil Affairs Bureau, among the names registered for newborn babies recently, the use of the name "Duncan" has been increasing...

The media reports are only in the newspapers and the Internet, but around Duncan, as the record continues to improve, Duncan also feels more and more changes.

In the nearby "Lord's Bar" that Duncan frequented, the owner Jack has hung a photo with Duncan on the most conspicuous wall.And for all Duncan's consumption, it is also reduced to half price.

Because the apartment and the training base are too close, Duncan is used to walking to work.On the way to work every day, there are always some people who know or don't know, and say hello to Duncan.There are even one or two little boys or girls who would hurriedly come to Duncan with a Manchester City family photo to sign when he was shopping for pancakes.

Several well-known sports brands have also been in contact with Duncan recently, but in Manchester, there are always some small shops that invite Duncan.The bakery downstairs has already launched a set of "Duncan Package", the outer packaging is Duncan's photo.In exchange for this, Duncan will enjoy a free supply of bread every morning.

Even the owner of the sex shop next door came to his door and asked Duncan to endorse the newly developed sex condom...

For Manchester fans, Duncan, a native of Manchester, already has a sense of geographical intimacy.Duncan has been a Manchester City fan since he was a child, and the people he knows and contacts are basically fans.Duncan grew up slowly in such an environment.Until he entered the Manchester City Club, he became the head coach of Manchester City from the ordinary coach of the youth team.

Duncan's fame did not make everyone feel alienated, but instead made them feel more familiar.

"Because this is our Duncan!"

From the beginning of his tenure, Duncan immediately won the approval of all Manchester fans, and then with one victory after another, this recognition rose to love and affection.

Especially after leading Manchester City to bloodbath the powerful Liverpool, Duncan's approval rating in the city has reached the point where the mayor of Manchester is jealous.You may not know the Queen of England, the Minister of England, or even Ferguson in Manchester, but you absolutely must not know Duncan, otherwise you will be given the middle finger by a street person...

Some fans have even spontaneously organized and planned to establish Duncan's fan organization...

***************
When Duncan became a household name in Manchester, the flight of a big man who would influence the future of Manchester City landed at Thames International Airport in London.Then a group of yellow-skinned people hurried out of the gate of the international airport with dusty faces.

London is also an international metropolis, especially at the airport, there are often all kinds of whites, blacks and yellows, so no one pays attention to this group of people.

Those who care about the political situation will recognize it immediately. Among this group of yellow-skinned people, there is a short, strong man with a serious expression. Thaksin - Sivana.

Just the day before, Thaksin, who was giving a speech at a rice field university, received news of a domestic military coup, so he immediately became a political exile from a prime minister visiting state affairs.

After the coup, Thaksin went to the UK immediately, on the one hand to visit his daughter who was studying Japanese at the University of London, and on the other hand to seek political asylum.

"Basong, how much money do we have left?" Thaksin asked in a low voice.

"All the frozen assets in the country total 8 million US dollars. The funds transferred abroad in advance total 14 billion US dollars." The man who looked like a secretary next to him said.

"Oh." Thaksin's face paled, but fortunately, he made a risk budget in advance, and most of the funds were transferred out.

"Basong, contact the British government immediately and obtain the protection of the British government. Remember, the action must be secret, and don't let too many people know!"

"Okay, I'll do it right away!"

As the night was dark, Thaksin and his party hurried into a commercial vehicle and disappeared into the London night.
