"Kevin Braniff!"

"He is a midfield master!"

"He will be Carrick's best partner!"

"He will be Manchester United's future and represent Manchester United's midfield force in the next five years!"

“…”

The British media suddenly became excited.

Ferguson rarely publicly praised the players of other teams. The last time Ferguson made similar remarks, it can be traced back to Rooney's time at Everton, when Rooney was only eighteen years old. Ferguson was not stingy with his appreciation of Rooney.

When it was the summer transfer, Manchester United chased Rooney frantically and spent 27 million pounds, making Rooney a world-renowned talented star. As soon as he transferred to Manchester United, he knew that he would become the future of Manchester United's striker.

Now it's Kevin Blaniff's turn.

After Ferguson finished saying this, many media analyzed a possibility: Ferguson was having a war of words, and Manchester United was about to face Millwall. Speaking this at a critical point also represents a special effect.

But one thing is certain, Ferguson must have admired Braniff, otherwise why didn't he talk about Darren Bent? Darren Bent is much more famous than Braniff. As Millwall's leading scorer, no one doubts that Darren Bent will definitely have a very good performance when he goes to Manchester United.

If it's just a war of words, choosing Darren Bent is definitely more suitable.

Ferguson only talked about Braniff.

Judging from Braniff's recent position and performance, Ferguson must have considered letting him come to Manchester United to replace Scholes, who is growing older.

Scholes is already thirty-two years old.

The player of this age has already begun to decline. Scholes can temporarily ensure his condition, but no one knows how long his good condition can last.

In some Manchester United games, Ferguson began to try to replace Scholes with other players, such as the promoted youth training players Fletcher and Richardson. Both of them kept getting the chance to play, but the effect was not very good.

Now Manchester United's midfielder is Scholes and Carrick.

Carrick is Roy Keane's replacement, and his position is a bit far behind. The core of the frontcourt is Scholes. Scholes' position is similar to Kaka and Ronaldinho. He is the organizer and leader of the offensive, and the most central player in the team. It is easy to find a replacement in other positions, but it is too difficult for Scholes to find a replacement.

It is definitely very difficult for Manchester United to promote the youth training players to replace Scholes. Whether it is Fletcher or Richardson, the gap in strength and experience is too big, and they may not be able to reach Scholes' level in their entire lives; it is also very difficult to buy a core in the transfer market.

Zhang Yang is having a headache about this.

Mirwall also lacks core stars. If there is a player like Toti and Kaka, the team's strength can be improved immediately.

The same goes for Manchester United.

Manchester United has the strong Scholes for the time being. What should we do after Scholes retires?

Ferguson must have started thinking about it.

Braniff is a good choice. Although he is still a little immature, he considers the top league, has little experience in European competitions and is only twenty-three years old. The future is full of infinite possibilities, and may become an alternative choice for Scholes.

In the British media reports, all the above were analyzed. They believed that Ferguson was a war of verbalism on the one hand, and on the other hand, he must have a certain appreciation for Braniff.

Many media also lamented that Braniff was so lucky that he could actually be appreciated by Ferguson.

Ferguson's words are worth a thousand gold, which is enough to greatly increase Braniff's fame, and will also attract more attention and double his value.

In the afternoon of the same day, Millwall held a tactical class, which was not about tactical relations, but about how to play against Manchester United. If you want to defeat Manchester United, you must make targeted arrangements. For example, in terms of defense, C-Ronaldo must be restricted. Rooney on the front line must also allow strong players to defend closely.

Manchester United's offensive cooperation is also relatively penetrating. The coaching staff reminds you to always pay attention to your defensive formation and not give Manchester United any gaps.

The offensive arrangement will be much easier.

Just as the outside media analyzed, the "dual core" is a style of play that focuses on offense. The main purpose of the two cores is not to increase the cooperation of the midfield, but to make the opponent difficult to defend.

The opponent can defend against one core, but it is difficult to target two cores on the periphery.

This is the key.

The "dual core" style of play focuses on offense. The season preparation has been underway until now. The team emphasizes offense. There is no need to emphasize how to play against Manchester United. Every player can just play normally.

After the tactical class is over, all afternoon training will be over.

One by one, the players returned to the locker room, packed up their things to prepare for the club, Zhang Yang walked to the training ground, and a staff member brought a tablet with a news page on it, and all the reports Ferguson admired Braniff.

Zhang Yang took a look and found it a little funny.

Alders came over, clicked on a webpage and frowned and said, "Do we want to respond?"

"Need not."

"Do nothing?" Alders was unclear.

Zhang Yang took the tablet and handed it to Alders, "Take this to Kevin to let him know how much the great Sir Ferguson admires him."

Alders couldn't understand it, but he still did what Zhang Yang said.

Braniff packed up his things and was about to leave with a small bag.

Braniff is a very strange guy. This not only refers to his temper and personality, but also his living habits.

For example, everyone else uses sports backpacks, and Braniff is very special. He uses a neutral casual bag. Even the bag cannot hold two pieces of clothes. He always wears a bulging bag. It feels a bit awkward when paired with a sports suit.

Alders found it a little funny when he saw Braniff's bag, but the whole team was almost used to it. He also showed Braniff's tablet as Zhang Yang said.

Braniff glanced a few times, clicked on a few web pages and looked at it, with a little puzzled expression, "What's going on?"

“As you see.”

Alders shrugged, meaning you saw it all, "Zhang Yang asked me to show you."

At the beginning, Braniff looked at it with interest. When he became angry later, he returned the tablet to Alders, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Bitch! I'll go find those reporters!"

"ah?"

Alders watched Braniff leave unexplainedly, and he felt that his mind could not keep up with the rhythm.

———

Braniff knew where to find a reporter.

There is always a group of reporters in front of the club department, usually some small and medium-sized media. On weekdays, they cannot interview the news and can only stay in front of the door and wait for an opportunity.

As usual, Braniff drove out of the club gate. What's different was that he stopped on the edge of the road and walked towards the reporters.

"There are some people who took the initiative to come for the interview?" The reporters in front of the door were a little confused. They noticed that it was Braniff, and they were immediately excited. Because of Ferguson's appreciation, Braniff was definitely the focus of today.

Braniff was immediately surrounded by reporters, his face full of anger and shouted, "He actually said I was Scholes' replacement? I know Scholes, he performed much worse than me, he should be my replacement, not the other way around!"

"Also said that I performed better than Totti? Of course, do you need to say it? I must be better than Totti."

"Also, I want to ask, who is Carrick? What qualifications are he to be a partner with me?"

"I feel very angry now because the head coach of Manchester United, Old Ferguson, cursed me to retire early! It's incredible. I don't know him at all, but he cursed me! I think I should pay him back!" Braniff thought for a while, as if thinking about the lines, and then said, "I'm sure he will retire within a year, because Manchester United's performance is too poor, and he is ashamed to continue coaching! I'm also sure he will have various diseases, because he is too old, and after retirement, he can only lie in bed and wait to return to God's arms!"

“…”

Braniff roared, and said without hesitation to curse Ferguson, which made the reporters around him feel inexplicable, and they found it difficult to understand Braniff's thinking.

Among them, there is still a quick brain. I thought of a possibility. Ferguson said that Braniff represents the "midfielder for Manchester United in the next five years". Braniff is only 23 years old. Even if he transfers to Manchester United next season, he will only be 29 years old in five years. Isn't it a premature retirement at the age of 29?

This analysis makes some sense.

Of course, normal people don’t think so, but is Braniff a normal person? This guy rarely accepts interviews on weekdays, but there are still some reporters who have interviewed them. They know that this guy’s brain circuit seems to be different from normal people. They didn’t take it seriously before, and they think that geniuses always have personality, but now it seems that the problem is quite big!

Many reporters were amazed by it.

What is Branif’s brain circuit? It has nothing to do with them. What Branif said is more important. After getting such wonderful first-hand news, the reporters were excited. The more Branif said, the more content they had to report.

Among them, there are still journalists with "conscience", or they are media that support Manchester United. A reporter retorted at Braniff's words, "Do you really don't know or fake? Carrick is the best midfielder in the UK in recent years. He is Tottenham Hotspur's absolute main player, and he will be the absolute main player when he goes to Manchester United. Why can't he become your partner? Carrick's net worth is much higher than you!"

This sentence ignited the powder barrel!

Braniff stared at the reporter angrily and shouted: "I have never heard of Carrick's name at all. Will his net worth be higher than mine? And I have never transferred, how do you know my net worth? If Manchester United wants me to join, is the transfer fee provided by the guy who doesn't know his name? This is an insult to me! What is the old man Ferguson's opinion and how did he become the head coach!"

"The boss said that I am the most important player in Millwall! We are the defending champions, we are now ranked first in the league, the number one team in England, the most important player, and the most important player, and we are not as valuable as a guy who doesn't know his name?"

Braniff yelled, glaring at the reporters, and was panting, as if he was greatly insulted. He then gritted his teeth, "I finally know why Manchester United always loses to us! This kind of head coach is far worse than the boss! He is so old and has been a head coach for so many years. Even which player is better! I doubt he has geriatric syndrome. So I want to ask old man Ferguson a question, what is one plus one equal?"

Braniff also made an international gesture that was more common than his fingers. After saying that, he turned around and returned to the car without waiting for the reporters to react, and left with a buzzing sound.
