Top of the big era

Ferguson was really going to retire. At the post-match press conference, he announced the news to the world, ending this glorious career with his direct favorites Paul Scholes, Neville, and Edwin van der Sar. .

For Manchester United, it is necessary to immediately start the coaching plan.

It is not easy to find someone to succeed Ferguson. His career resume is so bright that no matter who comes to take over, he will be under tremendous pressure.

Moreover, this season Manchester United ended the season as the Triple Crown - the league championship, the Champions League championship and the League Cup championship.

Whoever takes over will be cast in Ferguson's shadow.

However, Boss Zhou had already made plans.

He took a fancy to Klopp, the current head coach of Dortmund.

The next day, he made a formal announcement within Manchester United, appointing German Rangnick as the team's director and sports director. The first task assigned to the new sports director is to recruit Klopp!

It is not feasible for Rangnick to directly serve as the coach of Manchester United. He is an academic coach and a theoretical coach. Precisely because he is an academic, the current generation of German head coaches have been influenced by his tactical philosophy. This has allowed Rangnick to accumulate rich and broad connections in Germany, and he also has a close relationship with Klopp. The relationship between friends.

Zhou Buqi feels that it is not too difficult to operate this matter!

Rangnick happily accepted the order and then invited Boss Zhou to go to Germany with him. If the poaching fails, the big boss can show his sincerity and it will work.

Zhou Buqi accepted the invitation.

Coincidentally, Jiang Shuying, who was studying in the UK, also finished studying abroad for her master's degree, so she simply went to Germany with her sponsor for a while.

Dortmund is a relatively small city. Zhou Buqi did not go directly. Instead, he chose Munich and asked Rangnick to check out the situation first.

Seeing that summer is coming.

Jiang Shuying was dressed very coolly, with a white skirt and white sandals. She looked like a school beauty, not a star at all.

However, a star is a star after all, and the secret is revealed in just three sentences.

"President Zhou, I got the film contract."

"So fast?"

"Well, Xiao Yanzi is studying directing at Nortel. She is going to make a graduation film and wants me to play an important role."

"oh."

Zhou Buqi nodded. At this time, he was visiting the Nymphenburg Palace in Munich, which was really not interesting.

With this time, I feel like I might as well go back to the hotel.

Jiang Shuying obviously liked this feeling of freedom, looseness, and unrestraint. She chuckled and said, "Mr. Zhou, what kind of character do you think I should prepare?"

Zhou Buqi was slightly startled and turned to look at her, "Character?"

Jiang Shuying pursed her lips and said: "Yes, when you are a star, you have to have a label that makes people remember you. My academic qualifications are higher than those of the stars in this industry. I think I can be identified as intellectual, generous, and wise. An educated young woman who loves reading."

Zhou Buqi said amusedly: "Aren't you afraid of revealing your secrets?"

"how come?"

"Why not?"

"I'll hide it."

Jiang Shuying obviously didn't realize the difficulty.

"Everything else is easy to hide, but whether you are literate or not can be seen from your speech, behavior, and the choice of words and sentences you usually speak. It cannot be faked by just pretending."

Zhou Buqi is somewhat knowledgeable about this. Many celebrities like to hold up a book in public to show that they are poetic and literary.

It's easy to pretend to be anything else, but it's very difficult to pretend to be a cultured person, and it's easy to reveal your secret.

The next day, Zhou Buqi made intellectual Jiang Shuying unable to get out of bed, mainly because he tested some new moves. It seems that the hidden dragon is really useless. Sometimes the martial arts is too strong and there is no opponent.

"By the way, when you return to China, you and Tang Yixin can be neighbors."

Zhou Buqi took a shower and planned to get dressed and leave.

"Well, I know, she told me."

Jiang Shuying's voice was filled with haggardness and laziness.

"Okay, you can have a good rest."

Then, Zhou Buqi went out to meet Klopp. He has been brought to Munich by Rangnick.

Klopp is certainly excited about the opportunity to coach a giant like Manchester United.

As a wealthy club, one thing that is very attractive about Manchester United is that the coach's employment period is longer. Head coaches like Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Chelsea will be fired if they don't win a championship for a year.

This is a huge challenge for many famous coaches.

In comparison, Manchester United is better.

Manchester United is looking for a long-term coach, one who can coach the team for at least 10 or 20 years. What Manchester United are looking for is the next Ferguson.

Klopp is certainly looking forward to it, but some things still need further confirmation.

It's not easy living in Ferguson's shadow.

What Manchester United's new coach can do depends largely on the support of the board of directors. Although Ferguson has retired, there are still too many meritorious veterans in the Manchester United team, such as those assistant coaches and some players who have strong influence in the locker room. They will all have an impact on the authority of the new coach.

Therefore, when a new official takes office, the first thing the head coaches do is to completely disband the original coaching staff and form a new team.

As for the thorns that may appear in the locker room... If you can, you can retreat. If you can't, then you can only kill him. It can range from being sent to the bench to being sold directly.

After the meeting, Klopp did not talk about money. He mainly mentioned Manchester United's future team building plans and the power that he, the head coach, can have.

Zhou Buqi said without hesitation: "What I am looking for is the new Ferguson! At the business level, there are dedicated people to handle it. At the competitive level, you and Rangnick will be in charge from now on. You can do it the way you want. Let’s form a team, and whoever dares to stop us will be eliminated!”

Klopp mentioned a relatively extreme situation, "What if it's Rooney?"

Zhou Buqi said calmly: "Rooney is the flag of England. If possible, try to ensure his core position in the team. Manchester United is a Premier League team after all. However, if you really don't need Rooney, then let him He leaves! Not just Rooney, anyone can!"

"What if..." Klopp felt a little embarrassed, "What if I didn't adapt well in the first season and failed to win the championship?"

Zhou Buqi laughed and said: "My principle has always been to employ people without doubting them and without doubting them. I know how difficult it is to be the head coach of Manchester United. You can rest assured that you have enough time to prove yourself. Manchester United has been We have won the Premier League title in 5 or 6 years, and we have just won the Champions League title. Now we have entered a period of transformation, and it is understandable that there will be some pain."

"I still have a contract at Dortmund."

"It doesn't matter, Manchester United will pay you liquidated damages!"
