175. Meet Sir Ferguson
After the war with Liverpool, the national team match day came, and the league entered a temporary rest period. Blackpool will not face its strong rival Manchester City until October 16.
Except for those who went to report for the national team, all the Crystal Palace players had a three-day holiday.
Media reporters will not take a vacation. As the Crystal Palace has recently shown its characteristics of not being weak when it is strong and not being strong when it is weak, with only 9 points in 7 rounds, Wen Sheng’s aura of genius boy has gradually been criticized by some again.
Everyone wipes it out.
Some articles said that Crystal Palace's tactical routines have been figured out by everyone, Wen Sheng's team has lost its sense of mystery, and its counterattack tactics have no deterrent effect.
There are also hard-working little bees who help Wen Sheng analyze the current predicament, criticizing Wen Sheng for being too self-righteous in the summer transfer market and not adding forwards, criticizing Wen Sheng for buying a lot of defenders but buying himself a pair of almost every
A defense that conceded goals in every game.
Others said, "There are not many opportunities left for Daniel Wen to prove himself!"
General Manager Morelli was asked by a reporter about Wen Sheng's position during an interview at a business event. Morelli firmly expressed his support.
"In fact, I don't know why you have to write those things! I can only say that we have always trusted Daniel, we are satisfied with the results of his leadership, and our current situation is not bad! We are ranked in the standings
Yes, we have won two consecutive games in the Europa League group. I don’t know why you care about Daniel’s coaching position! In short, I am sure that Daniel can stay with the team, and we hope it will be for many years!”
Some media just like to stir things up, and Morelli's firm and powerful counterattack was a blow to them.
Wen Sheng didn't pay attention to what the outside world was saying. He was enjoying his vacation life leisurely.
On the evening of October 4, Wen Sheng finally met Sir Alex Ferguson at a restaurant in London under the arrangement of Allardyce.
Alexander Chapman Ferguson, he should be one of the greatest managers in the Premier League era so far.
He should be the greatest manager in the history of Manchester United. There should be no one. Busby probably can't compare with him.
Before meeting Ferguson, Wen Sheng imagined the image of Ferguson as a tyrant, affable, and stingy. In short, combined with Sir Alex Ferguson's daily stories in the media, the image of Sir Alex Ferguson was constantly changing in his mind.
When they met, he didn't think much about it. Ferguson was also an ordinary old man.
"Hello, Sir Alex Ferguson!" Wen Sheng was very polite when meeting him for the first time.
Ferguson also smiled, and after saying hello, asked Wen Sheng to sit down.
"You are very famous now! I have wanted to meet you for a long time, and I finally met you today!" Ferguson said exaggeratedly.
"Sir, I can't take your joke!" After all, Wen Sheng had seen the storm, and he responded calmly without any stage fright.
Both Ferguson and Allardyce laughed.
"Daniel, you don't know. Darren mentioned you in front of me, and I also watched the video of your game last season!" Ferguson said.
Wen Sheng remembered that last season in the English Championship, Crystal Palace played against Preston. Sir Alex Ferguson’s son Darren Ferguson was the head coach of Preston at that time. Crystal Palace won that game.
Wen Sheng had a drink with Darren Ferguson after the game.
However, Ferguson did not say that he wanted to help Wen Sheng meet his father. At that time, Wen Sheng did not even think about meeting Sir Alex.
The meeting was actually Allardyce's suggestion.
When Ferguson mentioned his son Darren, Wen Sheng remembered another story about Ferguson's stinginess.
It is said that after Darren Ferguson became the head coach of Preston, it was natural for Ferguson to strongly support his son.
Preston has loaned many players from Manchester United this season. Darren Ferguson also loaned players from West Bromwich Albion thanks to Sir Alex Ferguson's relationship.
In addition to the convenience of renting players, Preston can actually get the right to use Manchester United's training base at Carrington, of course, when Manchester United is not at the training base.
Sir Alex Ferguson took great pains to cultivate his son!
But unfortunately, Darren Ferguson failed to establish himself at Preston. Wen Sheng knew that in the near future, Darren Ferguson would be fired by Preston due to poor record.
Sir Alex Ferguson immediately began to punish Preston and recalled all the players loaned to Preston from Manchester United. West Brom also recalled the players loaned to Preston. No one would believe it!
Just as many media said, and just as Allardyce, who was having dinner with Wen Sheng, said.
"Don't mess with Ferguson!"
The three of them were not obsessed with football. Instead, they talked about a lot of off-field anecdotes. Wen Sheng didn't know so many things outside the football field. As for horse racing and golf, he knew nothing about it, although he didn't really want to hear it.
They talked nonsense, but they also pretended to be curious babies. Ferguson and Allardyce actually had a lot of fun telling Wen Sheng stories.
There was chatting, laughing, bragging and good steak, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
When the meal was over, an uninvited guest came to Wen Sheng and his friends. Wen Sheng looked familiar.
The person coming is Steve Bruce, who is a disciple of Ferguson. Ferguson lured him from Norwich to Manchester United. Bruce and Pallester formed the Manchester United center back partnership in the early 1990s. Bruce is still doing it after retiring.
Coach, currently serves as the head coach of Black Cats Sunderland.
He happened to be dining here today, so he naturally wanted to say hello when he saw the teacher. Besides, he also had a very good relationship with Allardyce.
Wen Sheng also said hello to Bruce. To be honest, now he understands why Martinez, a foreign monk, said that Ferguson is a mafia in the Premier League. There are too many of his disciples.
From the Championship to the Premier League, it's hard not to meet Ferguson's apprentices.
Bruce sat down and chatted with everyone, but Bruce just changed the topic to football, and Wen Sheng was naturally more interested.
Bruce asked Mr. Ferguson to comment on the current head coaches in the Premier League.
Ferguson is the boss. He is such a big god. How dare Wen Sheng and others dare to show off in front of him? Listen carefully one by one.
Ferguson didn't refuse. He talked about the Premier League coach with great interest and said a few words. The ghost old man asked Wen Sheng and the others mysteriously.
"Do you know who the worst boss in England is?!"
The boss Ferguson mentioned here specifically refers to the head coach. The head coach of an English club has great power and can control everything in the club. Of course, this is not the case now.
Wen Sheng doesn’t know who the answer should be!
Bruce raised his hand and said it was Megson.
Gary Megson and Wen Sheng were not familiar with him, let alone why Bruce said Megson.
Allardyce smiled and had no intention of answering this question.
"Stuart Pierce!" Bruce said again, which was also Wen Sheng's confused answer.
Ferguson was noncommittal and turned his attention to Wen Sheng.
"Sir, I don't know who it is! It can't be me!" Wen Sheng shrugged.
Ferguson and others laughed. Of course it couldn't be Wen Sheng. Wen Sheng had only been here for a long time, not to mention that his performance in leading the team was not bad.
"Jazz, who do you think you are?!" Bruce Anna couldn't help but ask.
"Redknapp!"
As soon as these words came out, Wen Sheng and Bruce were shocked.
Lao Lei is still okay. Wen Sheng doesn't know why Ferguson gave such an answer.
Bruce was obviously confused.
"Look at the teams he led, which one didn't end up in debt after he left?! The bottom line of being a head coach is not to push the team into the fire pit. Results come second. Winning trophies is always regarded as the head coach's responsibility.
Political achievements, but who paid for him?! Portsmouth is in such a terrible state now, shouldn't he be responsible?!" Ferguson said.
Well.....
Chapter completed!
