Super Marshal

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, all the fans cheered and applauded.

With three goals in the second half from Yaya Toure, Marcelo and Aubameyang, Paris Saint-Germain struggled to reverse Ferguson's Manchester United at the Stade Louis II.

It was Paris Saint-Germain's European football debut of the new season, but the results were mixed.

If you only look at the first half, Paris Saint-Germain's performance is undoubtedly disappointing. The offense is weak and the defense is not solid.

But if you only look at the second half, the Ligue 1 leader was impressive again, scoring three goals in just half an hour. Facing the new Champions League champions Red Devils Manchester United, with such attacking power, Paris Saint-Germain is undoubtedly a blockbuster. .

As soon as the whistle sounded, the Paris Saint-Germain players on and off the field began to celebrate.

Gao Han also hugged each other with Zidane, Makelele and other members of the coaching staff, celebrating the team's first European championship in the new season, which made everyone in the French Ligue 1 team excited.

They had good luck in the draw of the Champions League group stage, and they have also been successful in the league. Now they have reversed Manchester United in the European Super Cup. Paris Saint-Germain has undoubtedly greatly boosted the team's morale and has taken a solid first step in the new season of the Champions League. step.

Ferguson looked a little frustrated and greeted the players as they walked off the court.

There is no doubt that Manchester United's strength has indeed improved a lot than before. The arrival of Navas has filled the vacancy after Van der Sar left the team. Mkhitaryan, Robin van Persie, Alderweireld and Dario Srna, etc. The joining of players has greatly enhanced Manchester United's competitiveness, and the entire team lineup has been completely renewed.

But he is also very aware of the situation of his team. There is still a certain gap in strength between Manchester United and top teams such as Barcelona, ​​Manchester City, and Bayern Munich. Among them, Barcelona and Manchester City both insist on passing and controlling, and Bayern Munich is in Shanghai. Under the guidance of Inks, the overall competitiveness is very strong, and these three teams are not easy to play.

Now there is another Paris Saint-Germain team.

As early as last season, a very important reason why Manchester United was able to win the Champions League was that they had good luck in the draw. In the semi-finals, they met their city rivals Manchester City. They knew each other well and it was more like playing in the Premier League. This gave Ferguson room to play. .

Even more fortunately, Barcelona, ​​which Ferguson was most afraid of, was defeated by Chinatown in the quarterfinals. This made Bayern Munich and other teams breathe a huge sigh of relief.

It was also in this game that Ferguson saw Pochettino's coaching strength, and the Argentinian's coaching style undoubtedly suited Ferguson's taste, so he recommended Pochettino as his first choice as his successor.

If there are no surprises, this year will be Ferguson's last season as coach. Of course he hopes to achieve something on all fronts, but judging from the current situation, at least on the Champions League line, Manchester United wants to achieve something. Being is not easy.

Perhaps it would be more practical to focus on the Premier League.

While Ferguson was thinking about it, he didn't notice Gao Han approaching quietly. When he realized it, he was already very close.

"Congratulations, the king is back!" Ferguson forced a smile.

How he longed to defeat Gao Han, even just once.

But this is life.

Gao Han's vision is indeed sharp. He can always identify a group of players with strong personal abilities at a relatively suitable price. Needless to say, the group of superstars during his time at Manchester City. Paris Saint-Germain also has Neymar and Suarez, Lou Lu Cas Mora's personal ability is also very strong, which makes Manchester United very passive.

There is a saying that goes well, a player's personal ability determines the upper limit of a team's overall strength.

This is where the horror of this Paris Saint-Germain team lies.

"Then should I be more blunt at this time and say that if I was here last season, the Champions League would have been nothing without you?" Gao Han asked with a smile.

Ferguson directly flew up with a kick, but it was not to kick Gao Han, but to scare him.

"To be honest, if our free kick at the beginning of the second half had not changed direction, it would have been 3-0, and the outcome of the game is hard to say." Ferguson said with some reluctance.

What he was talking about was a free kick in the second half. Robin van Persie took the kick from a very tricky angle, but it was a bit drifting and changed direction and slid directly out of the goal. It was indeed a pity.

"Then can I also say that if the referee had not misjudged the offside, we would have scored earlier than Manchester United and there would have been no 3-0 later?" Gao Han asked with a smile.

Ferguson was speechless and almost didn't punch him.

You've already won the ball, why don't you let others take advantage of you verbally? Is that true? Do you still know what it means to respect the elderly and love the young?

"I'm telling you, I'm going to retire after this season, so you'd better not mess with me."

"What's the meaning?"

"It's very simple. I will have plenty of time to fight with you from now on." Ferguson looked proud of me after I retired.

Gao Han laughed dumbly, is this okay?

However, when he mentioned retirement, Gao Han's expression became a little solemn.

Because he received news that in the list recommended by Ferguson to the Manchester United management, the number one successor candidate is Chinatown head coach Pochettino. In fact, there are indeed many wealthy teams that value Pochettino. Among them Even Real Madrid.

Florentino is also very optimistic about Pochettino, and it is said that the two have some friendship.

Gao Han is the owner of the club and cannot restrict Pochettino so much. Moreover, he also feels that Pochettino has made many contributions to Chinatown over the years, which is already very rare.

Based on the level of sales in Chinatown in the past few years, any other head coach would probably not be able to stand it, but Pochettino still works hard and does not complain. For this reason, Chinatown can only be grateful and not complain at all. .

"To be honest, did you really recommend Pochettino to take over your job?" Gao Han asked seriously.

As the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain, he was originally unwilling to talk about this matter on such an occasion, but after the game was over and they were chatting in private, he really cared about this matter, so he couldn't help but ask. .

Ferguson looked at Gao Han carefully, thinking that Gao Han was trying to persuade him to give up on Pochettino's choice. He nodded and then shook his head, "I did recommend it. You know, Pochettino's performance in Chinatown in recent years is terrible." Looking at European football, how many of them can lead this team to this level?"

"For such a head coach, let alone Manchester United, I don't know how many wealthy teams are watching, but this matter is not something I can decide. I can't control what the management thinks or what the presidents think."

"You misunderstood me." Gao Han smiled.

"You and I are both head coaches, and you know me. People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. Pochettino's efforts in Chinatown in the past few years, I understand in my heart, and I only feel grateful and grateful to him. If he can really coach Manchester United, I think it is a great thing, and Chinatown will never make things difficult.”

Gao Han's statement surprised Ferguson, but he also admired him even more.

This was the Gao Han he knew.

"However, we can take the initiative to terminate Pochettino's contract and let him get better conditions at Manchester United, but I have a condition and you must agree to me."

Ferguson also became serious, nodded and said: "You say."

"He has been coaching in La Liga from the time he debuted to now. He has never been to the Premier League. He has just arrived and it is a giant like Manchester United. You know how difficult it is and how risky it is. So, my condition is that you must stay. Come down and help him, at least let him get familiar with Manchester United and the Premier League."

When Ferguson heard this, he really looked at Gao Han again and laughed.

"Only now do I truly believe that you are indeed willing to let him leave the team."

"I always keep my word." Gao Han said arrogantly.

Coaching Chinatown and coaching Manchester United are two completely different challenges.

In Chinatown, Gao Han himself is the head coach, so he knows very well how to create the best coaching environment for the head coach. Armando Marcos and Cantarero are also very professional people, plus The strict management structure of the club makes coaching in Chinatown relatively simple.

But Manchester United is different. There are superstars like Rooney and Van Persie, as well as Ferdinand, and there are players left by Ferguson in the locker room. Gao Han knows better than anyone what the external coaching environment of the Premier League is like. If he is not careful, Pochettino It is likely to fall into internal and external difficulties.

Gao Han hopes that Ferguson will stay because he hopes to use Ferguson to support Pochettino, help Pochettino establish prestige as soon as possible, and successfully complete the transition to the post-Ferguson era, which will be a great help to Pochettino's coaching.

"I will seriously consider your request." Ferguson nodded.

He knew very well that if Gao Han didn't let him go, Pochettino might not be able to coach Manchester United.

Of course, all the conversations between the two of them are now confidential and must not be revealed to the outside world. Otherwise, the media around the world may hype it up.

"By the way, are you so relieved to let Pochettino leave?" Ferguson was a little surprised. "Do you want to coach Chinatown yourself?"

"Why not?" Gao Han asked with a smile, but soon he smiled and shook his head, "I am considering inviting Moyes."

Ferguson was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed.

Among the candidates he recommended to Manchester United, Moyes ranked second after Pochettino.

Gao Han's words were somewhat meant to ridicule him, because if there was no Pochettino, Moyes would be the best candidate for Manchester United's head coach. Unfortunately, now that there is Pochettino, the situation has completely changed.

"He is a very good head coach. If you plan to change the style for Chinatown, I think you can consider it." Ferguson replied seriously.

Both of them laughed.

Moyes' style is completely different from Chinatown's style. Ferguson knows this very well, and Gao Han is unlikely to consider him.

Looking at the current European football world, there are not many head coaches who can succeed Pochettino. Valencia's Emery may be one. He is Gao Han's former assistant. His coaching style is also inherited from Gao Han, and he is also very familiar with Chinatown. He has a good relationship and is familiar with European competitions and La Liga. It is really suitable for him to take over Chinatown.

However, he now has a contract with Valencia, and the Bat Legion will definitely not let him go easily.

In addition, Malaga's Pellegrini should also be a good candidate, and his coaching style is very suitable for Chinatown.

And Ronald Koeman, who coaches Feyenoord, is also pretty good.

If Gao Han had been more courageous and asked Van Gaal to come out, he would have been really powerful.

However, by that time, let alone Cantarero, the technical director, even Gao Han, the chairman, may not be able to control the stubborn old Dutch man.

Ferguson couldn't help but find it funny when he thought of Gao Han being upset by Van Gaal.

This made Gao Han look confused.

Is this old man full of evil thoughts crazy?
