Chapter 135: The Final Four Draw
The second league in the second league in the second league is the scar in Ferguson's heart.
In fact, this also involves David Beckham who left Manchester United last summer for Real Madrid in Spain.
David Beckham's departure was facilitated by Ferguson.
The two had a conflict at that time.
Although David Beckham is Manchester United's captain and No. 1 star, he is a "heartthrob" in England. Many Manchester United fans like him, but he has a conflict with the head coach Ferguson who is the best in the team. He will only leave.
David Beckham's departure still had a great impact. Beckham is the captain of Manchester United and the captain of England. He is naturally very capable of becoming famous. He is the pillar star of Manchester United's right offense and the biggest contributor to Manchester United's 1999 triumphant championship. He is also an irreplaceable player in Manchester United's lineup.
It is generally believed that Beckham's departure will have a great impact on Manchester United.
Ferguson is unwilling to admit this because it was he who asked Beckham to leave, so he worked hard to lead the team to the league and also added Portuguese genius like Cristiano Ronaldo to the team. While strengthening Manchester United, it also proved that everyone is missing. Beckham's departure will not have an impact on the team, but in the end, Manchester United is still ranked second in the league and can only fall behind the strong Arsenal.
After hearing Wan Sheng's words, Ferguson felt unhappy↘, w≈ww. He was often angry, but the smile on his face had not changed.
He was about to say something, but he didn't expect that McGuinness, who was following him, interrupted first. He pointed at Wan Sheng and said with a stern aura, "Boy, even if you are second in the league, you can't beat it. Your team is just an English League One team!"
Wan Sheng laughed out loud.
McGuinness was unclear, so Ferguson could no longer listen. He immediately interrupted, "Shut up, idiot!"
‘The second in the league is not something you can defeat’, that wouldn’t it mean to admit that Manchester United is the second in the league? Admit it in public? You should know that the Premier League is not over yet, and Manchester United still has the chance to overtake. If you say this, wouldn’t it mean to confirm that Manchester United can only rank second in the league?
Wan Sheng looked at the two and smiled, "Sir Ferguson, you really found a good assistant. Fortunately, I didn't stay at Manchester United back then, otherwise." He said that, he shook his head in sighing.
Ferguson curled his lips, "Manchester United doesn't have your place."
Wan Sheng nodded and said affirmatively, "Of course, otherwise those smart people would not have left."
This is another way to reveal the scars of Manchester United. Manchester United has left many people in recent years, including famous ones, such as the current Middlesbrough coach McLaren and the general manager Peter Kenyon who switched to Chelsea. These two are undoubtedly smart people.
At this time, the venue was quiet. Many reporters were extremely excited as they watched Wan Sheng and Ferguson fight in person.
This is real big news!
It is said that Wan Sheng had had conflicts with Ferguson before, but there was no reporter present, so they didn't know the specific situation. Now the two of them have started a verbal confrontation in front of so many people. This is much more exciting than holding a press conference and announcing the news.
At this time, Ferguson also realized that this was not a good place to sputter. As Manchester United head coach, he was a very influential football senior in England football. He sputtered each other with a young man in his twenties. Even if he won, it was not a happy thing. What's more, this young man was not easy to deal with, and this sentence was much sharper than Wenger.
But in the end, Ferguson couldn't help but reply, "Do you think you are a smart person? You just said that other teams should be worried about meeting your team? Then, are you sure to defeat Manchester United?"
Wan Sheng just shrugged and smiled, "I really hope to meet Manchester United. I dare not say that I can definitely beat Manchester United, but I will definitely do my best to play against Manchester United!"
Ferguson said, "That hope we can meet together."
After a verbal confrontation, the two walked into the venue, and had no communication again and no longer accepted interviews from reporters.
Soon Arsenal coach Wenger and Millwall coach Wise also arrived.
After Wenger entered the venue, he kept smiling and couldn't see any thoughts. He heard about the verbal confrontation between Wan Sheng and Ferguson just now, so the smile on his face became stronger. As an opponent for many years, he naturally enjoyed seeing his old opponents defeated in front of young people. In particular, Wan Sheng's lines were related to Arsenal's first position in the league, which made him laugh happier.
This season, Arsenal's results were perfect.
Since last season, they have maintained 41 league unbeaten games. I don’t know when this record can continue, but it is enough to allow Arsenal to beat Manchester United and occupy the top spot in the Premier League.
So far, the 7 league points advantage can also ensure that Arsenal wins the league championship, and Wenger is still somewhat sure about this.
In addition, Millwall coach Wise is also worth mentioning. Millwall did not perform well at the beginning of the season, so their coach Mike was fired, and Wise, as a player and coach, took over the position of coach.
In the last round of the FA Cup, Millwall also defeated Sunderland 1-0, entering the semi-finals of the FA Cup for the first time. This ending was a bit unexpected. The player and coach Wise, who had no coaching certificate, brought great surprises to Millwall after half a year of taking office.
"You can laugh, it's a bit crazy. I haven't got the coaching qualification certificate yet." In an interview after the game, Wise held his 4-year-old son in his arms, not serious at all, but he was not kidding.
Although the 37-year-old "bad boy" has already started participating in coaching training courses like Keane and Hiller, Wise has not completed the most basic "B-level license" course so far.
His ability to become the club's head coach is completely forced by the situation.
In October last year, former coach Mike was fired, and club chairman Paffetis appointed Wise as a temporary coaching position. At first, Paffetis didn't know how long Wise would stay in this position, but then the team's situation got better and better.
Wise was fired by Leicester two years ago for beating his teammate while playing cards, but now he is the center of unity between Millwall players.
After winning Sunderland, forward Harris once said that unity is the key to the team's victory. In addition, forward Dicio, who bought during the winter break, has repeatedly made great contributions to the FA Cup, which shows that Wise has a unique vision in signings.
Now Wise is representing Millwall to participate in the FA Cup draw. He is only 37 years old, he is still a professional player, and the coach is only a part-time job. Before he came, he felt that he must be the youngest in the "generation", but when he came in, he realized that there was the Derby County coach who was younger than him, who was probably ten years younger than him.
This made Wise feel a little moved.
He was originally quite successful. He has played for more than ten years as a professional player and was still playing in the Green Field at the age of 37. However, in the coaching industry, it is a bit too late to enter the industry at the age of 37. The head coach of Derby County is only in his twenties, but he has been quite successful. In comparison, his success in leading Millwall may not be a big deal.
Ferguson and Wan Sheng had a verbal battle before. Wan Sheng claimed that they hoped to meet Manchester United, but everyone knows the reality. Wan Sheng does not want to meet Manchester United. At the same time, Arsenal and Manchester United all hope to meet Derby County or Millwall, preferably Millwall. Derby County ranks first in the league this season and defeats three Premier League teams in a row in the FA Cup. They are definitely much harder than Millwall. Even for Manchester United and Arsenal, they hope to meet weaker opponents in the semi-finals and cannot cause trouble. Millwall is naturally the best choice.
Wan Sheng naturally hopes to meet Millwall, which means the team has a greater chance of entering the FA Cup final.
If Millwall wants Wise to choose an opponent, he will undoubtedly choose Derby County. Both teams are always League One teams, and they still have hope of winning. If they meet Arsenal or Manchester United, it will be too difficult to win. Some chances can be said to be slim.
The lottery ceremony soon began.
The FA officials stood on the rostrum and asked the staff to use the prepared cylinder. There were four labels on both sides of the cylinder, which naturally contained four teams. In order to show justice, the FA officials first randomly selected a reporter with a seat and drew a team on the left.
The reporter stepped forward and drew a lottery. When he opened it, he saw that it was Derby County.
Wan Sheng stood up with a smile.
The next thing is his job, and the other three teams can only wait for the result. He only needs to draw Derby County opponents, and then the remaining two teams will naturally meet together. According to the FA Cup system, the semi-finals will be held at the neutral court. This year it is Villa Park Stadium, so there is naturally no home and away game distinction, so there is no need to make such a complicated draw.
Wansheng walked onto the stage.
Everyone in the audience looked at Wansheng. Wansheng stood on the stage and glanced at Wenger, Ferguson and Wise respectively. He had a gentle smile on his face, and maintained his demeanor in full view of everyone.
He reached out his hand and took out a sign in the cylinder, opened it and looked at the words on the sign, and he immediately smiled.
Seeing Wan Sheng's expression, everyone else knew what he had drawn.
Offstage.
Arsenal coach Wenger smiled bitterly and shook his head; Ferguson had the same expression, he looked in Wenger's direction; Wise was stunned, then nodded to others and said something; only McGuinness, who was a little confused, asked Ferguson, "Mr. Ferguson, is he drawing Manchester United?"
Ferguson rolled his eyes and was too lazy to answer. He found that the assistant's IQ was really urgent.
Sure enough, Wansheng reversed the label and faced the word "典典典典典" on it.
