Manchester United legend

Chapter 34 Poaching
Ferguson called Jost into his office. Ferguson didn't sleep well last night, and he was a little depressed in the morning, so he made two cups of coffee.

Ferguson: "Sit down Paul, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Jost: "It's okay!"

Ferguson: "How did you get the injury on your face?"

Jost: "I was in a car accident last night in my friend's car!"

Ferguson: "Ah! That's so unfortunate, is it okay?"

Jost: "It's okay!"

Ferguson: "I see how your injury looks like it was left in a war."

Jost: "Don't be kidding, coach, it was really a car accident."

Ferguson: "Yesterday I heard there was a fight at the Fifth Avenue bar, did you know that?"

Jost: "I don't know!"

Ferguson: "I heard that Manchester United players fought with a boxer. It seemed to be quite intense. Didn't you hear?"

Jost: "No, I don't know."

No matter how Ferguson tried to answer Jost's words, Jost would always ask three questions, which finally made Ferguson unable to bear his temper outburst.

Ferguson: "Are you an agent? Are you playing hide-and-seek with me? I know all about you guys yesterday, what are you still hiding from me? I'm asking you now, who attended yesterday's party? Did Lee Sharp and Ryan Giggs?"

Jost: "I'm sorry coach, I can't speak."

After listening to Jost's words, Ferguson yelled like a raging lion: "Don't think that it's so great to score a goal with a shit. I can punish you as well. I'm asking you who was at the party yesterday?"

Jost: "I'm sorry coach, I can't speak."

Ferguson was furious and threw the coffee cup on the table at Jost.Jost quickly dodged in response, but coffee was spilled on his clothes.

Ferguson yelled in his Scottish voice: "I can drop you into the first team, I can also let you go back, now you go back to the youth team, as long as I am the first team coach, you can never get into the first team, forever! Now pack your bags and go back to the youth team."

Jost came out of Ferguson's office dejectedly. Ferguson's loud voice was heard by the employees outside the door. Soon Jost was scolded and then transferred back to the youth team. The news spread throughout the first team.

Jost went back to the locker room of the first team to pack his equipment and luggage. Paul Ince came to the locker room to change his sneakers. Ince saw Jost packing the locker. He already knew that Jost was relegated to the youth team, and he was very happy.

Ince said hypocritically, "What's wrong with Paul, why are you packing?"

Jost has long seen that he has bad intentions, and Jost also hates Ince. He always regards himself as the boss of Manchester United, even if no one admires him.Ince always directs this and that on the training ground and on the pitch, almost becoming Manchester United's ball bully.

Jost ignored Ince and continued to pack the locker.Ince was a little annoyed that a rookie who just joined the team dared to ignore him.

Ince yelled, "Didn't you hear me talking to you? Are you deaf?"

Jost was irritated by Ferguson's scolding in the morning. Hearing Ince's words, Jost suddenly turned around and said, "You have to say it again!"

Ince was frightened by Jost's aura in front of him. He felt that there was a beast in front of him, which might tear him apart at any time. He was not talking.

Seeing that Ince was honest, Jost continued to pack the locker, and left after packing.

After Jost left, a drop of cold sweat dripped from Ince's forehead.

Jost returned to the youth team, and Harrison had already received a call to know that Jost had been relegated. Seeing Jost's dejected look, Harrison patted Jost on the shoulder and said, "Come on, train hard, and show yourself in the game. When you perform well, I will intercede with the boss and let you go back."

The players of the youth team were chatting in the locker room, and they were all surprised to see Jost coming in. He had just joined the first team not long ago, and was lucky to score a goal. It was a time when he was playing well, so why did he suddenly return to the youth team?

This is the Neville brothers and Beckham running into the locker room. Gary Neville saw Jost arguing about the locker box. Gary walked over and asked Jost, "I heard you were relegated to the youth team, right?"

Jost nodded. He thought that these three people would comfort his wounded heart, but he didn't expect the Neville brothers and Beckham to say loudly: "Yeah! We knew you would come back. The first team is not suitable for you now. You should hang out with us in the youth team!"

Jost felt that he didn't make good friends, and he was surrounded by a group of bad friends. If it wasn't for them, he wouldn't be able to be transferred to the youth team.It seems that making friends is very important!

Gary Neville said: "Don't be unhappy, we have a party tonight, do you want to join us?"

Jost hated that damn party now, he immediately shook his head and refused.Gary Neville shook his head like you're unlucky.

In this way, Jost returned to the youth team again. The coach of the youth team, Harrison, felt that Jost, who was coming back, was a little taciturn, and the training was even harder for himself. Every time, it was Fat John who kicked him out before leaving. He exuded a sturdy energy, like a tiger on the court, with a murderous look, which made many people dare not approach him.

Relying on this strength, he also gradually emerged in the youth league, and won the best player of the youth league in February and March consecutively.Manchester United's youth team is also advancing all the way.Harrison reported Jost's excellent performance to Ferguson, and Ferguson just asked him to pay more attention to Jost.

After hitting the 25th round, Manchester United defeated Arsenal and finally grabbed the top spot.

From sixth to first, Cantona made an irreplaceable contribution in this process.At the critical moment of Manchester United, he will always carry the team to fight and lead his teammates forward.

Cantona's creativity on the pitch allowed United to open the door to victory, and his technical ability in the frontcourt allowed United's players to play a different kind of football.Around Cantona, they regained control of the rhythm, opened up new spaces, found the best time to pass the ball, and enjoyed the thrill of scoring.

United players began to play in ways they hadn't considered before - Cantona unshackled the Red Devils' feet, he was the new manager of the Red Devils.

He catalyzed the team like a panacea, and United quickly mastered a Cantona-esque football that was so artistic, inspired and memorable.

Under the great power of Cantona, from December 1992 to early March 12, Manchester United played a wave of great records-only one loss in 1993 games!The Red Devils kept chasing and surpassing their opponents like a big explosion.

Ferguson used Cantona as the assault vanguard, fully trusted and supported Cantona, let him replace Ince, let him lead the team's offensive direction, let him become the team's sharpest knife, let him incarnate as a titan, lead Manchester United to accelerate and sweep away all obstacles.

The light is ahead, and the championship is no longer a dream.

But the protagonist on TV can never be smooth sailing. He has to go through twists and turns before he can be reborn. Manchester United grabbed the top of the standings after 25 rounds, but this does not mean that other teams are willing to offer the championship with both hands.After Manchester United defeated Queens Park Rangers 26-3 in the 1th round, the Red Devils had another wave of 7 wins and 1 tie, but their opponent Aston Villa also did not fall behind.And when Manchester United returned home with a 1993-3 win at arch-rivals Liverpool on March 6, 2, Ferguson and his players were not prepared for tough times.

In the 32nd round, Manchester United was defeated by Oldham Athletic 1-0, followed by three consecutive rounds without a win, and they were tied by Villa, Manchester City and Arsenal respectively. They only scored 3 points in four games, and the advantage of the Red Devils in the standings was suddenly surpassed.
In a blink of an eye, it was April 1993, 4, one day before Manchester United's home game against Sheffield Wednesday.

In yesterday's game, Aston Villa lost an upset away game. If Manchester United wins against Sheffield at home tomorrow, Manchester United will regain the top spot.In the remaining six rounds, Manchester United's opponents are not too strong, so Manchester United has a great hope of winning the championship. (At that time, the Premier League had 22 teams)
The good news is that Aston Villa lost yesterday. The bad news is that the team's main central defender Bruce was injured again, and he is likely to miss this crucial game.

Ferguson did not lead the team to train in the morning, but was in the office, worrying about the deployment of troops tomorrow.This game is crucial to him and his Manchester United, so there is no room for mistakes.

Who should partner with Pallister?Ferguson thought in his heart.After a while, assistant coach Kidd came in: "Still worried about the guard line for tomorrow's game?"

Ferguson: "Yes, our back line is too thin. It seems that next season we will strengthen the players on the back line!"

Kidd: "Does the starter have any clues?"

Ferguson: "Not yet!"

Kidd: "I have someone to choose!"

Ferguson: "Oh! Who is it?"

Kidd: "Paul Jost!"

Ferguson: "Him?"

Kidd: "Yes, do you still remember our game against Arsenal? Regardless of his lucky goal, just talking about defense, he defended Yin Wright very well in that game and didn't give him any chance."

Ferguson hesitated, and Kidd continued to persuade: "And Harrison also told me that Jost has performed very well recently and has become an indispensable player for the youth team."

Ferguson still didn't nod his head in agreement, Kidd shook his head, thinking that it seems that he needs to give the boss some serious medicine.

Kidd went on to say: "The most important point is that there are teams poaching us. Liverpool coach Roy Evans seems to be interested in Jost. He has sent their chief scout to observe Jost for several games. I also heard that Liverpool scouts are contacting Jost in private!"

"What?" Ferguson couldn't sit still after hearing Kidd's words!
