Manchester United legend

Chapter 23 Youth Team Coach Harrison
Ferguson exited the ward and saw Jost squatting at the door, Ferguson called out, "Jost come with me."

Jost didn't seem to hear it, and was still squatting there with his hands covering his head. Scholes pushed Jost: "Hey! The boss is calling you."

Jost came back to his senses and saw Ferguson's figure, and Jost followed him from behind.

The two came to the corridor of the hospital. There was a chair in front of it. Ferguson said, "Sit on the bench in front for a while."

Ferguson asked Jost: "What's the matter? Is it just because of this injury? Or is it that you plan to quit and don't want to play football?"

Jost: "I..."

Jost didn't know what to say for a moment.

Ferguson said: "This difficulty will shrink back. Are you worthy of so many people helping you? As far as I know, Scholes always helps you during training."

"It was just an accident that Su Maozhen was injured. Maybe you kicked him ten times and he wouldn't get hurt, but you accidentally hurt him."

Ferguson went on to say: "A man must be brave enough to face and bear all this, instead of choosing to back down. I hope you can appear on the training ground tomorrow. If you really choose to back down, take all your things away from Manchester United."

After speaking, Ferguson got up from the bench and left, Jost fell into deep thought.

Early the next morning, Ferguson drove to the Carrington training base early, greeted the doorman Fat John, and Ferguson made a detour to the training ground.

A figure on the training field is practicing dribbling. Although the posture of dribbling is not very good-looking, the ball sometimes wafts a lot.But Ferguson was still happy, the figure training on the court was Jost.

Su Maozhen's injury has passed, and Jost returned to the youth team and still trained hard. Before, Gary Neville was considered the hardest trainer in the youth team, but after Jost returned from the first team, people found that Jost was even harder than Neville.

Gary Neville came to training 45 minutes early every morning, and when he came, he found that Jost was already sweating profusely from training.After a day of training, Jost will practice more, and so will Neville, but Jost is always the best one to leave.

Youth team coach Harrison is known for his strictness. The youth team may not be afraid of Kidd or Ferguson when training players, but no one is not afraid of Harrison.

Beckham liked the long ball, and he was constantly yelled at by Harrison: "Put your bloody Hollywood pass away and don't let me see it, or you won't play on Saturday." This sometimes woke Beckham in his sleep.

He would yell at Jost and Scholes for losing control of midfield.Even Giggs, who had already gained a foothold in the first team, was "screamingly criticized" by him.

Harrison demanded that every second of every training session be treated as if it were a cup final.All players must give their all.Harrison said, "If you can't go all out in training, you're not ready to play on Saturday." This training requirement is strictly required by Harrison, and it has always been consistent at Manchester United.

Eric Harrison, the terrifying Yorkshireman, brought great pressure to the training of young players. "Harrison is sometimes a powerful hair dryer, scarier than Ferguson, the kids are terrified.

Harrison also sometimes blamed himself for being too harsh, and occasionally apologized to the children.

Once Harrison's wife went out to buy groceries on Saturday morning and stopped by the training ground to watch Harrison in class.After watching his wife from the sidelines of the training ground for a while, her face turned red. Harrison's overly strict training methods made his wife feel too embarrassed to face the neighbors in the neighborhood and the parents of these children.Harrison had to explain to his wife that if they were not so strict, the children would face even more terrifying scenes when they reached the first team.They will be more difficult and unable to adapt to Ferguson.Harrison said to his wife: "Think about it, these kids will face Ferguson and Brian Robson in the future.

Harrison not only strictly demands high standards in training, but also pays close attention to the players, accurately observes and analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the players, and implements differentiated and targeted teaching.During Gary Neville's first year of training, Harrison moved Gary's position from the midfielder to the back, and seriously warned Gary, who was still thinking about playing in the midfielder at the time: "If you want to play well, you'd better be a defender, and more importantly, you'd better start fucking tackles."

Around 1992, Harrison suggested that Gary should play full-back because Gary's height was not suitable for playing center back.

Aiming at Beckham's weakness and gentleness, he told Beckham that being a man should be tough on himself; regarding Scholes' outstanding scoring ability and thin body, his suggestion was to try to get in instead of burying himself in the opponent's crowd.

Not only is Harrison stern, he talks to young players every three weeks for hours or even a full day.Individual guidance to young people is the most important part of Harrison's youth training.

Harrison is an excellent agitator, and he has always given positive encouragement to the youth army.As long as the training subjects are completed well, he will praise them very vigorously, which makes the young soldiers more confident.When he led the team to the FA Youth Cup final, he declared loudly that this group of kids would be unstoppable.It was Harrison's upbringing that turned the boys of Manchester United's class of '92 into men.He made United's youth squad better players and, just as importantly, ensured that the youngsters kept their spirits high.

Of course, Harrison also actively played out the genius inspiration of the little guys. Many coaches did not allow young players to express themselves too much on the court, but Harrison often encouraged young people to improvise.He believes that youth coaches should spend most of their time "hooking their shoulders" and only occasionally "kicking their ass".Because only in a relaxed state can young people use their imaginations and improve continuously.Nobody plays their best football amid endless criticism.

Harrison made the youth players realize that they were part of the Red Devils.This belief was also instilled in the youth team by Harrison: wearing the Manchester United badge means you have to win the battle.It is an honor to represent Manchester United at any level.

And when the youth team played, Harrison always invited first-team players to watch and help out, like Manchester United’s spiritual leader, Captain Brian Robson, Mark Hughes, known as the Spark, and Paul Ince, nicknamed Governor. Manchester United’s first-team players would always give guidance and help to the youth team players.This made the little Manchester United feel as if they had grown to a height of 3 meters and became omnipotent and invincible giants.

Under Harrison's careful training, Jost's performance is getting better and better, and he is always praised by Harrison, but Harrison will always say to Jost: "Joster, you now have the appearance of a midfielder, and you have the strength to play in the first team. If you want to make a few fucking fierce tackles, you will perform better."

Jost just smiled, no one knew that Su Maozhen's injury would still affect him to some extent.

Manchester United scored two more victories, against Leeds United and Everton.Before the game against Leeds United, Manchester United did not have a substitute striker, only to arrange Lee Sharpe to the striker as a substitute.

This season's Lee Sharp has become Giggs' substitute.Last season, Giggs was still serving as his substitute.The Manchester United playboy's road is getting narrower and narrower.

Manchester United fans are worried ahead of their home game against Leeds.However, Ferguson and his players suddenly exploded in the face of last season's champions and bitter rivals Leeds United.

Manchester United's wild attack turned out to be like a storm falling on the Theater of Dreams. They played a sharp attack like a storm, and the whole team played their best.The Red Devils, who were playing at home, launched a tide-like offensive amidst the crazy cheers of the fans.

Ferguson formed a lineup with two wings flying together. Giggs and Kanchelski were extremely weird, one right and one left, not in the positions he was usually familiar with.Ferguson's incredible deployment first caught his opponent off guard. In the first half, Manchester United's midfielder successfully intercepted and immediately counterattacked. Irving made a long pass from the right to find Giggs on the right.

The strange formation of double inverse feet made great achievements, Giggs and Kanchelski joined hands to break the deadlock for Manchester United.Shortly after the goal, Manchester United launched an offensive from the right again. Irwin made a corner kick and Leeds United's small penalty area was in chaos. Manchester United captain Bruce swept the ball from the small penalty area line, 2:0.Manchester United reported their revenge for being robbed of the championship last season.

Then Manchester United defeated Everton at home with difficulty and achieved 5 consecutive victories. After 8 rounds, Manchester United ranked third with 16 points. The points gap has not been widened. It seems that there is still hope for winning the championship.

After a difficult victory over Toffee Everton, Manchester United fell into an incomprehensible downturn. What awaited them was a wave of seven rounds without victory, first an unimaginable five-game draw, and then a two-game losing streak that stunned the fans even more.

Manchester United first drew 1-1 with Tottenham in the away game. Giggs scored the best goal of the season in this game. He twisted several defenders in the opponent's backcourt like a butterfly in a row, entered the penalty area smartly and shot the ball into the net from a small angle.The fans at the scene applauded the goal.

Subsequently, Manchester United was tied 0-0 by Queens Park Rangers at home, and Mark Hughes wasted two excellent opportunities. At the end of September, Manchester United also ushered in a draw in the UEFA Cup. In the end, they were eliminated by the Moscow Torpedoes 9-4 on penalty kicks.Entering October, Manchester United drew 5-1 with Middlesbrough away. Irvine made a penalty and Bruce scored.

Middlesbrough leveled the score in the second half with a counter-attack with a long pass.Then Manchester United played Liverpool at home.This game was very difficult. In the first half, they fell behind by two goals. In the second half, Manchester United launched a fierce attack. Mark Hughes became the hero for the Red Devils to equalize their opponents. It was his two wonderful goals that brought Manchester United back a point.

Manchester United's opponent in the next round, which is still in shock, is the rich and powerful Blackburn team, which has recruited many famous stars. However, this game ended 0-0, which disappointed many fans and critics who were looking forward to the goal of the new generation of England striker Shearer and the old killer Mark Hughes.
