I Want to Be the King of Football

When Belgian referee Frank de Blakely blew the whistle for the end of the game, Ferguson sat in front of the visiting team's coach, leaning forward slightly, his eyes fixed on the pitch.

Those turbid old eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, making it difficult to see what he was thinking at this moment.

The chewing gum in his mouth didn't know how long he had been in it, and it tasted like nothing after chewing, but he seemed to have forgotten to spit it out.

He just sat, watched, silent.

Assistants Mike Phelan and Rene Meulenstin both went out to comfort the players.

The knockout stage of the Champions League is one of the most brutal competition systems in the world. Although it has two rounds, the pain caused by the defeat is not lost to those single-leg cup matches, or even to the European Cup or even the World Cup.

Because every team that comes here has gone through a season, dozens of games, and even several seasons of adjustment and accumulation before they can compete on this stage.

Failure, for them, is like the sky is falling.

At this moment, Ferguson can definitely understand the mood of the players, because he is like them, if not more frustrated than them.

This frustration makes them wonder if all the hard work they have made this past season is worth it?

He's never been a satisfied, ambitious man!

When he couldn't win the Champions League, he was thinking that winning the Champions League would complete his coaching career.

But when he won the triple crown, he was still not satisfied, and he began to feel that he should have won the second one.

So, he began to toss, began to reform, and began to train a group of younger players with more fighting spirit and enterprising spirit to replace those stars who have become famous.

Finally got the second seat, but he was still not satisfied, he wanted to get another one.

So he said, win another Champions League and he will retire.

Even God doesn't know, after he gets the third seat, will he still think about taking the fourth seat? Fifth seat?

He was born the type of person who is not easily fed, easily satisfied.

It's like that in my career,

The same goes for coaching.

This sense of dissatisfaction has allowed him to keep improving and improving himself over the past so many years.

There seems to be nothing wrong with it!

At most, it is like now, after working hard for a season, in the end, the league was reversed by Ancelotti, and the Champions League was eliminated by Bayern, which made him full of anger.

He really wanted to rush out of the court, scold those players, and ask them, what the hell was kicking in the game?

Ask them, Su Dong is in the final stage of the competition, and can still run 50 meters long distance, how about you?

But thousands of words, thousands of threads, and finally converged into a sigh.

He is impulsive, he is irritable, he is easy to get on, but he is not stupid!

At this moment, his mood is more depressed and sad than all Manchester United players on and off the field.

Don't watch Raphael cry, but he'll probably forget about it as soon as he turns around, because he's still young; don't watch Gary Neville sad, but he'll soon forget about it because he's content with what he has achieved.

There are others, all the Manchester United players, the high salary and fame have gradually eaten away the hunger in their hearts, and they have become easily satisfied with the status quo.

this is normal phenomenon.

Because, few people can be like Su Dong, like Cristiano Ronaldo, always full of hunger.

Sometimes, Ferguson even thinks, if Sudong did not have Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, and did not experience the turmoil of Barcelona's transfer to Bayern, would he still be able to maintain this self-discipline?

He has already earned enough money, and it is estimated that he has long since embraced his beautiful girlfriend who is famous all over the world, right?

How could Cristiano Ronaldo train so hard without Sudong?

And Messi, hasn't he been chasing Su Dong all the time?

He just hasn't achieved his goal yet, he's not satisfied yet, and when he's satisfied, maybe he'll slack off.

This is human nature!

Like Sudong, like Cristiano Ronaldo, like Messi, that's inhuman!

This is not a derogatory term.

Because, Ferguson feels, he is also a non-human being.

He is never satisfied, always hungry.

Sitting in the visiting team's coaching bench, watching the Manchester United players walking down the pitch in frustration, and watching the Bayern revel in the audience, Ferguson took a deep breath and swept away all his frustration.

He stood up and sighed heavily, and at the same time spit out all the negative emotions in his heart.

What's so frustrating about this?

Isn't that just losing?

Has he experienced a few losses in his life?

He has lost the Champions League final, let alone the knockout?

...

Ferguson walked out of the visiting team's bench, hugged, comforted and encouraged the Manchester United players who walked off the field one by one, and sent them back to the player tunnel, which is what he should do as a manager.

If you lose, you lose, and people have to look forward.

After sending the Manchester United players away, Ferguson saw Heynckes high-fiving and hugging Su Dong not far away, he took a deep breath and calmed down, letting himself show a polite smile, welcoming him. up.

Congratulations! Ferguson reached out to Heynckes.

Heynckes hurriedly held Ferguson's hand, Thank you.

Ferguson turned his head to look at Su Dong, stretched out his hand, and smiled.

Su Dong quickly stretched out his hands and held the hand that Ferguson handed out. After clenching it tightly, he felt a little covering his hands.

Did you know? Originally, I had planned to retire after winning the championship this season, but you... Ferguson stared at Su Dong, and paused for three or four seconds, Your goal, abruptly took mine The retirement plan was cancelled.

When Su Dong heard this, he immediately laughed, Really? This is great news.

Ferguson was stunned and wanted to grab Su Dong and knock him on the head, but it was too high to knock him.

How did you speak?

I lost, you say it's great news?

I mean, we can continue to see you on the football pitch and it's definitely good news that fans all over the world are craving because we can't adapt and the man in the Manchester United manager position is not you!

At the end of the sentence, Su Dong is sincere from the heart, and both Ferguson and Heynckes can feel it.

This is a tribute to Ferguson!

Well, see you can talk, don't knock your head.

Wait, I will definitely be back!

After saying a harsh word, Ferguson patted Su Dong on the shoulder and turned away.

Behind him, Su Dong was a little amused.

Why does this sound so familiar?

Do you believe he really intends to retire? Heynckes asked, standing beside Su Dong, looking at Ferguson's back.

Su Dong shook his head, It's very realistic and full of emotion, but I don't believe a word of it.

Heynckes nodded, Yes, I don't believe it either, this bad old man is very bad.

Su Dong turned his head and looked at Heynckes with a blushing face, and then thought of the red-nosed Scottish old man with joy.

Yes, just like you.

Heynckes was stunned and reacted immediately.

Damn, who are you scolding?

By the time he wanted to show off his German shadowless feet when he was playing football, Su Dong had already run away.

Run? If you have the ability, don't come to training tomorrow, and I won't kill you! Heynckes also said harshly.

Su Dong waved at him from a distance, and he didn't believe a word of Heynckes' cruel words.

This bad old man is as bad as Ferguson.

But whether Ferguson is telling the truth or not, he's really happy to hear that he's still coaching.

Although he has never played under Ferguson, and although he has not had much contact with Ferguson, he admires Ferguson from the bottom of his heart.

He really can not imagine, if one day, Manchester United lost Ferguson, what kind of disaster it would be?

If European football, world football loses Ferguson, it will be a lot boring.

And he should have called Ferguson and told him.

Old man, we miss you so much!

…………

Manchester United finally fell at the Allianz Arena!

Su Dong scored again!

This is not big news. As early as the end of the first round, after Manchester United suffered a 2-3 reversal at home by Bayern, everyone basically concluded that it would be difficult for Manchester United to reverse at the Allianz Arena.

It was also within everyone's expectations that they lost one-to-two away from home.

The real news is in the post-match press conference.

In front of many media from around the world, Ferguson publicly announced that he would postpone his retirement plan.

As early as a few years ago, he repeatedly emphasized one thing, he will not work at Manchester United until he is 70 years old, his retirement time is in 2010, and his contract renewal with Manchester United has not been carried out before. .

There are many media and fans speculating that if Manchester United win the treble this season, Ferguson will retire.

But now, Manchester United's league has been tragically reversed by Chelsea, the Champions League has been eliminated, and the treble is no longer possible.

Ferguson said that this loss made him feel very painful, but it also made him feel very unwilling. He did not want to leave the professional football field with such regrets, so he still wanted to continue to coach Manchester United.

He hopes to lead this Manchester United team to a third revival and win a third Champions League in the next two or three years.

When I return to Manchester, I will have a good talk with the management about this and make detailed plans for the new season.

This undoubtedly made fans around the world cheer for it.

All the media and fans have put it on the front page headlines to highlight Ferguson's status and influence in world football.

Su Dong also made an exception in an interview with the media after the game and publicly expressed his support for Ferguson to stay in office.

I know his desire and passion are as strong as ever and I hope he will continue to coach because he is one of the most extraordinary managers in the world.

Su Dong said that every time he saw Ferguson, he felt that he should consider transforming into a head coach in the future.

A manager like Sir Alex Ferguson!

...

News of Ferguson's delayed retirement plans quickly spread around the world.

Numerous star legends, including Beckenbauer, came forward to welcome the news.

Even in the Premier League, many managers, including Guardiola, Ancelotti, Benitez, and even Wenger, expressed support for Ferguson's decision.

Although, this is not good news for Premier League teams.
