Chapter 27 Ferguson's Arrival

As early as 2002, when Queiroz joined Manchester United, he told me that there was a lad in Sporting Lisbon that we should pay attention to. "Which one is it?" I asked, as we had our eyes on two or three other players. "Ronaldo," he replied.We all know him very well, when Ronaldo played as a central midfielder.Queiroz said we needed to do something because Arsenal and Real Madrid were also interested in Ronaldo, so I sent scout Jim Ryan to watch Ronaldo train.

Since Sporting Lisbon, which is Ronaldo's home team, has a cooperative relationship with Manchester United, we can send coaches to guide their players, so this also greatly facilitates our observation of Ronaldo.After Jim came back, I asked him what he thought of Ronaldo. Jim said he thought Ronaldo should play as a winger. We were worth buying at the age of 17 and making a gamble.So we told Sporting Lisbon of our intention to buy, and they agreed to transfer, but hope that Ronaldo can play for the team for two more years.I agreed to their request.We didn't tell Ronaldo about this agreement, nor did we tell Mendes.

A year later, however, things changed.When we were training in the US, we played a game against Sporting Lisbon.At that time, Ronaldo played as a left winger, and O'Shea was playing against him.The poor Irish lad was thrown into a mess by him, disappointment written all over his face.Other players also said to me, "Boss, hell, this kid is really extraordinary!" On the plane back from the United States, Ferdinand, Giggs, Scholes, and Gary Neville kept saying: "Sign He signed him." So I made a quick decision and signed Ronaldo!

—Excerpt from Ferguson's autobiography

After recovering to a certain extent, Redondo began to join the team training. During the period, he took Kaka and Shevchenko together for various additional trainings on the grounds that he "has not experienced high-intensity competitions for a while and may not adapt". Putting aside the fact that the Ukrainians were half-dead during the drill, Cristiano Ronaldo is now experiencing the first turning point in his life.

"If I heard you right, you mean... Coach Ferguson is coming from England to Lisbon to talk to me in person, right?" Cristiano blinked his eyes and said calmly, which made Mendes on the opposite side finally come from " Lao Tzu's first big business of tens of millions of dollars was achieved by the most famous head coach in active service." Breaking away from the excitement, he nodded cautiously: "Yes, this should be our first tough battle. If you want If you live a better life at Manchester United in the future, you must listen to me." Cristiano felt that he had forgotten something, but nodded calmly, and then made fun of him: "Why are you so nervous? I didn't see you when I sold Kaka to Milan. Take it to heart."

"After all, the coach of Milan has my acquaintances, and Kaka's transfer is also the price that a normal new star should have," Jorge Mendes stared at him regardless of whether the person in front of him was his employer. He glanced at him: "If it wasn't for your desperate efforts, Kaka can still stay in Sao Paulo for a year. It is estimated that his value will soar at that time, and playing with you in Manchester United is even more promising. You are good, work hard Let him go to Milan, let’s go to Milan, okay? Your good friends are separated, and you don’t even have time to see him.”

"I don't have time to see him, he must have time to see me." Cristiano smiled lazily, and drank the plain water in front of him in one gulp to hide his inner emotions.Why didn't he want Kaka to wait for him, but they had agreed a long time ago that the most important thing now was to let himself grow up, no matter where he went.Anyway, they will meet in the best club in the future.

Seeing Cristiano staring at the cup and starting to be dazed again, Mendes was quick-witted, and suddenly remembered that this incident should be regarded as the only sore foot of Lisbon Nova. In order to save him, he decided to tell the news about another friend of his: "By the way, there is also your little friend who is currently in Barcelona... I can only say that he is indeed worthy of your vision. He has lived a very good life in the club now... But you should have known that you have such a good relationship? I Mind your own business."

That little man has nothing to do with him! Angrily, Cristiano wanted to raise his glass again to extinguish the fire in his heart, but he had already run out of water in his glass, so he could only grab the glass and mutter: "Isn't the coach coming?" , do you still have time to talk to me here?"

"What are you afraid of? When the time comes, you go to training first, and I'll deal with them." Mendes had an expression of "Leave it all to me", and Cristiano naturally believed that he had been with his agent for a lifetime, so He nodded, packed his things and went to training.

It’s just that he never expected that when he was training and wiping his sweat after extra training, he turned around and saw three people standing on the sidelines, and when he saw those three people, even Cristiano couldn’t help but slipped on his feet and almost fell down .

Sporting Lisbon coach Paulo, his agent Jorge Mendes, and an old man with glasses and gray hair.If you just look at this person standing here quietly, you will never think that he is the famous Ferguson who is called "Hairdryer".

Seeing that he finally turned around, Mendes seemed to be relieved and gestured at him desperately at the place where he stepped back a step or two from the two men, while Coach Paul waved at him to signal him to go over, Cristiano picked up The jersey wiped the sweat off his face and trotted over. "Coach! Mr. Mendes, and...Mr. Ferguson." He was still a member of Sporting Lisbon before the contract was formally signed, so it is understandable to call this, "Excuse me?"

In fact, he really has a lot of questions. For example, didn't Jorge say that he can handle it by himself?For example, how could the coach who should have gone home a long time ago appear here?Another example... How did Mr. Ferguson come here?

Shouldn't he be drinking coffee with Mendes at the coffee shop and waiting for him to meet them after practice and shake hands and sign? !

"Mr. Ferguson wanted to see your training situation. Mr. Paul happened to meet at the door." After Mendes explained in a few words, Paul also nodded at the three of them when he felt that it was time for him to retire. , "You guys talk first, it's still early before closing time."

So the conversation that should have happened in a cafe in Cristiano's memory turned out to be him, Jorge, and Ferguson sitting in the auditorium and chatting one after another, but it was quite relaxed. , So when Ferguson handed the contract to Cristiano, Cristiano easily took it and handed it to Mendes.

"You don't want to see for yourself?" Ferguson raised his eyebrows in surprise. "It's okay, I believe in Jorge, I can just read it again at that time. Besides, if there is no relevant legal person by my side, the signing of this contract is also invalid." Cristiano stood up, stretched his waist and smiled: "Are you here alone?"

"Of course not, it's just that I'm more interested in you, so I went out to see you without authorization." Ferguson smiled, and then saw the kid in front of him nodded cautiously, and then took out the speed that was like the wind on the court. It's...the locker room.

"I'll be fine soon—"

Ferguson laughed and shook his head, and then he heard Jorge calling him. "Mr. Ferguson, let me explain. Cristiano really likes the number 28. If possible, can Cristiano continue to use the number 28 at Manchester United?"

Mendes, who thought he was very comprehensive, received a strange expression from Sir Alex. "Cristiano didn't tell you?"

"What did you say?" Mendes was at a loss, he couldn't remember what Cristiano had said to him for a while.

"He went to Manchester United and the number I gave was 7."

"..." There is really no such thing.
