There is a dream called football

"Alex, the kids are coming back this Christmas."

Ferguson's wife, Kathy, is still as virtuous as ever and always likes to chat with her husband about life matters during breakfast.

"I think of what it was like when we first got married. I didn't expect that our children would be so big in a blink of an eye."

"Haha, yes, we are getting old too."

"I'm not old. Do you still remember how you advised me not to retire?"

It was in 2001 that Ferguson decided to leave football. After all, he had become famous. However, the whole family united to dissuade Ferguson from retiring. In the end, the old man took back his decision and did not quit football.

"But you always have to retire." Kathy smiled.

"At that time, let's move to Spain. There are beaches and sea there. I hope to give you good weather."

"Haha, I don't believe it. Even if you retire, you will still pay attention to football."

Ferguson shrugged and honestly said that his wife was right. Even if that was true, he might not be able to stay away from the land he loved, football.

After leaving home and arriving at Carrington Base, a group of reporters were already waiting there. Next is the most devilish and important Christmas schedule. Under normal circumstances, Manchester United will open up the distance during the Christmas schedule.

It's like a long-distance running race. Experts often speed up when others are about to die, and use their own advantages to distance themselves.

The league is often compared to a marathon, and Manchester United is often one of the best marathon runners.

Ferguson walked up to the reporters with a smile.

"Sir, how far do you think Manchester United can pull off this year's Christmas Day war?"

Ferguson chuckled.

"This is a question I can't answer, but every year Manchester United will try to distance themselves as much as possible in the Christmas game."

"Because this is a characteristic of the Premier League. We are the only league among the five major leagues that does not have a winter break. At this time, every team is already very tired, and with our strong bench depth, we can often do better. I don't think so.

Deny this."

"But this year is a bit special. In previous years, only Chelsea could compete with Manchester United at this time, but this year, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City did not fall behind."

"The gap between us and Manchester City is only 6 points. This was unimaginable in previous years. I remember last year, we were more than 10 points behind Chelsea, so there are more players in the Christmas schedule.

"

"What you are best at is rotation. How will you rotate this year?"

"Just some regular tactics, Li Qiao, Tevez, Nani, we have many players who can be rotated, the tactics don't need to be changed."

"Also about Scholes and Giggs leaving the team?"

Ferguson laughed and said, "I don't think they will leave. I can guarantee that their future belongs to Manchester United and they will retire at Manchester United."

"Did the player himself say that?"

"No, it was me who said it, and it was also what the players meant. Don't doubt this. At least during my tenure, they will not leave."

"Then will you leave Manchester United?"

Ferguson shook his head, "I am in good health and I think I will continue to work until Manchester United fans get tired of me."

The guy laughed, how is this possible? Who in Manchester United dares to say that he will be tired of Sir Alex?

But Ferguson is not a god, he will always retire, and everyone knows that Ferguson has the right to decide the next head coach. In other words, in fact, Ferguson selected Manchester United's next head coach.

So what everyone is very concerned about is, what kind of person will Ferguson choose?

"Sir, suppose you retire, what kind of successor would you choose?"

Ferguson was a little cautious about this, but he actually had his own ideas for a long time.

"I think this person must have coached the Premier League and has a full understanding of Manchester United. This is a must, because everyone also knows that Manchester United's football culture is unique in England. If a person does not understand Manchester United, it will be difficult for him to

Coaching Manchester United.”

"Secondly, I think it would be better to be an Englishman. It might be easier to communicate with the players."

"Third, pay attention to youth training. Over the past many years, those who have truly won honors for Manchester United are often those trained within the team. I don't think I need to say more about this. Everyone knows who I am talking about."

Of course everyone is tacitly aware of this. Not to mention reporters, even ordinary fans are familiar with Class 92.

"Sir, will Carlos take over?"

Queiroz's work at Manchester United is obvious to all, and he has also coached Real Madrid in Spain, and he can be regarded as the head coach of a wealthy club, but Ferguson shook his head from the beginning.

"Carlos' dream is to become the head coach of a national team. We have had in-depth discussions on this. I respect his idea, and he should also be responsible for it. I think his future does not belong to Manchester United."

This seems to be an open secret. For a head coach of Queiroz's ability to serve as Ferguson's assistant coach, it has actually always aroused doubts from others. However, Queiroz himself does not take it seriously. Maybe he admires Ferguson's extraordinary charisma.

Anyway, at least so far, Queiroz is still very happy.

"Then can you name a few suitable candidates in your mind?"

Ferguson was delighted.

"Okay, but you have to promise not to cause trouble for me."

"Haha, sir, we don't dare to cause trouble for you."

Ferguson thought for a while and said: "Actually, I quite admire Moyes."

"Moyes? Everton's Moyes?"

Ferguson nodded.

Someone immediately thought, "Is that your fellow Scotsman? Do you select people based on whether they are fellow Scotsmen?"

Hahaha.

Ferguson smiled and said: "Of course, it would be better if he was from Scotland. Everyone knows that Scots are often tougher, and sometimes football needs to be so tough."

Closer to home, Ferguson continued: "In addition, Moyes has many qualities that I need. For example, I like his training of the team, his tactical concepts, and the training of youth training players. These are also in line with me."

The criteria for selecting people, in a word, I like this kind of head coach."

Everyone was satisfied with this, and seemed to have found the news, and Ferguson didn't care. Maybe it was because of Manchester United's status in the Premier League. He was not afraid to talk about the other team's head coach, and even felt that such things came easily.

Of course, this is a bit uncomfortable for Everton, especially Everton's chairman, who sneered at Ferguson when facing the media.
