Super Marshal

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the stadium showed a scene completely opposite to that at the end of the first half.

The Manchester United players who took the lead in the first half now all looked frustrated. On the contrary, the Manchester City players were all in high spirits and dancing. Under the leadership of captain Xavi Alonso, they swarmed up to the chairman's stand.

Ferguson was sitting on the coaching bench, still chewing gum habitually.

Ferguson couldn't remember exactly when it was put into his mouth. He only knew that it had been too long. Not only was it tasteless, but it had an urge to make people feel sick, but he still chewed hard.

He found that at this moment, there was not much he could do. All he could control was to continue to force himself to chew gum.

Both hands and feet were still trembling slightly, which was the excitement brought by the game just now.

There was less than ten minutes left before the draw with Manchester City, but for Ferguson, it was the difference between heaven and hell.

He failed again!

Compared with the past, where Gao Han always made unexpected on-the-spot calls, Ferguson could clearly see Gao Han's every move in this game, and even every one of his on-the-spot calls, but he still had no way to prevent the defeat.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew why.

Finally, he stood up from the coaching bench and walked to the sidelines.

One after another, Manchester United's players walked off the field, and Ferguson greeted them.

"It doesn't matter, the score of 1-2 is not bad, there is an away goal, we still have a chance."

"Cheer up, guys, we're not desperate yet."

"Don't do this. Our opponents will look down on us and raise their heads."

Ferguson's encouragement cheered up the Manchester United players. Some even raised their hands above their heads and applauded the away fans in the stands to thank them for their support in this game.

But between their brows, there was still lingering loss and frustration.

They were only ten minutes away from victory, ten minutes away from creating a legend, but in the end they still lost.

They have tried their best in this game, and can even be said to have played to their highest level, but they still failed miserably in front of Manchester City. How can they feel embarrassed?

Being able to play for Manchester United, every one of them is a star with countless names in today's European football. Who is willing to accept that his skills are inferior to others?

Ferguson sent his players into the tunnel one after another. When he turned around, he happened to see Gao Han walking towards the visiting team's coaching bench, shaking hands with the Manchester United coaching staff one by one along the way.

They were all in the same city, no strangers to each other, and everyone knew that Gao Han had a close personal relationship with Ferguson.

More importantly, they were convinced that they lost this game.

After leading for most of the game, they were equalized or even reversed by their opponents. What else could they say?

"How do you feel?" Gao Han walked to Ferguson and asked with a smile.

Ferguson curled his lips and snorted, "What else can I do? That's it."

"You seem quite unhappy." Gao Han smiled again.

"Nonsense, if it were you, would you be happy?" Ferguson shot back.

Gao Han smiled lightly and said nothing more.

In his opinion, if Ferguson loses, he should have some grace, and it is normal for him to hit him a few times. It is impossible to be disgusting if he wins, so don't make this friend.

"Hey, let me ask you something." Ferguson suddenly asked.

"Well, you can ask." Gao Han thought he was asking about tactical matters, but he was very confident.

He didn't use his skill cards from beginning to end in this game and relied on his real level to coach, so he is particularly confident now and is not afraid of any questions that Ferguson may ask. He can answer them with certainty.

But Ferguson's problem obviously has little to do with the game.

"Have you really decided to leave Manchester City after winning the Champions League?"

Gao Han raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by this question, "What do you mean?"

"Just ask around and find out about your career plans."

Gao Han took a deep look at Ferguson and nodded, "Probably so."

After a pause, he sighed and continued: "To be honest, in the past two years, I have increasingly found that it is increasingly difficult for me to balance Chinatown and coaching. .”

Ferguson understands this.

Gao Han is the boss of Chinatown. Although he has appointed Armando Marcos as the general manager and Carlos Cantarero as the technical director, in fact, there are still many things that require him to worry about and handle, especially Chinatown. Now that it is at the top of La Liga and is in a stage of rapid development, there are even more things going on.

As the head coach of Europe's top league, Ferguson also knows very well that Gao Han has a lot to worry about when coaching Manchester City. From the games and training of the first team to the construction and planning of the urban training base, they all have to go through him. hand.

If these two jobs are placed on any one person, they will be busy, but Gao Han has to hold two jobs and shoulder two heavy burdens. The pressure is indeed difficult for outsiders to understand, and he is increasingly worried. It is normal to have excess but insufficient strength.

Especially when the media hyped up conflicts of interest, the impact on Gao Han was not small.

As a head coach, it can be said that Gao Han has received almost all the honors that any head coach can get. He is not only active, he can even be said to be the greatest and most outstanding head coach in history.

Not only himself, but his football philosophy has also deeply influenced countless head coaches, including Heynckes, Aragones, Guardiola, Pochettino, Emery, Simeone, Klopp, and Tuchel. , Prandelli...

Countless famous European coaches have stated in public that they have benefited a lot from Gao Han.

On the road of coaching, it can almost be said that Gao Han has made no progress, but as the owner of Chinatown, he has invested a lot of effort and emotion in this team, and he has made great achievements in this aspect.

"Are you planning to retire?" Ferguson suddenly asked.

Gao Han was not surprised that he would think so. He smiled slightly and said, "I don't know, I still have some unfulfilled wishes."

"What wish?" Ferguson was curious.

"I hope to have the opportunity to coach Ligue 1."

"Ligue 1?" Ferguson was shocked, as if he had heard something very ridiculous and funny. "Are you going to coach Ligue 1?"

"Didn't I tell you? There is a chance." Gao Han reminded.

"With your annual salary, who in the Ligue 1 team can afford to hire you? Besides, at the level of Ligue 1, you can't kill everyone if you go there..." Ferguson was mid-sentence when he suddenly laughed.

"I understand, I understand, you want a Grand Slam from the five major leagues. Your complex is really..."

how to say?

Very speechless!

Gao Han smiled and didn't deny it, just think it was a bad joke of his.

"Then... after you have led the French Ligue 1 team, will you lead the national team?" Ferguson asked with a smile.

"I can consider it, but if I lead the national team, I will only lead one team."

Gao Han looked at Ferguson and said with a confident smile: "That is my motherland, China."

"Is it too weak? You can't even play in the World Cup, but you are willing?" Ferguson said bluntly.

If you just want to win the World Cup, as Gao Han, you can completely coach the world's top teams, wouldn't it be easier?

Gao Han nodded, "It is indeed very weak, and the management system is terrible, but everything is being improved. I hope that one day I can personally bring him to the ranks of the world's top teams."

Ferguson stopped joking and realized that Gao Han was telling the truth, "Isn't this too difficult?"

"Maybe, China has a population of more than one billion, and there is no shortage of football geniuses. Not to mention other things, there is a group of young talents with considerable potential gathered in my youth training center, and this is only my first youth training center. Center, I will open a second, third, or even more center in the future to cultivate more football talents for my motherland."

"It's been a long, but challenging road, don't you think?"

After Gao Han finished speaking, he smiled lightly, but in Ferguson's eyes, this smile was extremely heavy.

He couldn't understand Gao Han's emotion, just like he couldn't understand that many players from Africa and South America came to Europe when they were young. After working hard to earn money by playing football, they had to go back to their home countries to do charity. .

But he understands that everyone's choice should be respected.

"If I have the chance, I really want to visit your youth training center and see those football geniuses you mentioned."

"There is a chance." Gao Han nodded.

His words were definitely not just casual remarks, but the voice of his heart.

Moreover, he is also full of confidence in the group of children in the Chinatown Youth Training Center in BJ Daxing.

The time is not yet ripe, so there is no way to bring them to Europe, but every year we organize many exchange competitions for outbound and inbound exchanges, allowing them to compete with their peers at the world's advanced level, understand their position, and increase their competition. experience of.

Such a youth training center can't make any money at all, so Gao Han doesn't have much money left over from the money he has earned over the years, and he plans to invest all of it.

Chinatown is his hope!

When the time comes in the future, he hopes that this group of children can come to Europe, gain a foothold in the European leagues, improve their level of strength, and be proud of Chinese football.

"By the way, don't talk about me anymore. What do you mean by asking me so many questions?" Gao Han pulled away from his thoughts and suddenly asked curiously.

Ferguson laughed when he heard this, "It's very simple. If you really want to leave Manchester City after winning the Champions League, then I will have to make trouble with the management team to gain more chips and bring in one or two high-level players." The players, the lineup of the strong team.”

Only then did Gao Han suddenly remember that Ferguson was reaching the age of retirement.

In the past few years, there has been news that Ferguson will retire almost every year, but the old man has always occupied the coaching position of Manchester United. In the final analysis, he is still unwilling to give up.

He hopes to win a second Champions League title and another Premier League title before retiring with honor.

This should be the last wish of this old Scottish man who devoted his life to football.

Aragones also had this idea. He also retired gloriously after taking Spain to its peak.

"Isn't this too difficult?" Gao Han returned what Ferguson said just now.

Ferguson laughed out loud after hearing this. Of course he knew it was not easy, but he also had his own persistence and perseverance.

"But it's very challenging, don't you think?" Ferguson returned the same words, and then looked at Gao Han maliciously and said: "Besides, if it doesn't work, I will poach you."

"Do you really want Michu?" Gao Han was slightly surprised.

This is a rumor in the media. Gao Han has always thought it was a misinformation. After all, most of the European giants are related to Michu. Who believes it?

"No, no, no." Ferguson quickly refuted the rumors. "Michu is indeed a very interesting player, but I no longer have that patience. What I want is a player who can help us improve our competitiveness in a short period of time." player of."

After hearing this, Gao Han felt relieved and nodded: "Then I wish you good luck."

"The same to you."

The two looked at each other, smiled, shook hands, and turned to leave.
