Raw in MTLNovel : "The Red Devils Successor"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Ferguson left the youth team training ground, his steps became very light. At this moment he suddenly had a bold idea: Barcelona can have Pep Guardiola, why can't Manchester have Tiger King?
Guardiola is the coach who came out of the Barcelona youth team. From the player period, he was the captain of Barcelona. He has just coached Barcelona's first team for two years and has won six crowns successively.
And Tiger King grew up at Manchester United from a young age. At the age of 18, he was the captain of the Manchester United youth team. At the age of 22, he had coached the Manchester United youth team. He is a Red Devils through and through, moreover, he is still an Englishman. In that way, he can easily get the recognition of both players and fans.
And just now, when Ferguson heard his understanding of Manchester United's current lineup, he is absolutely sure that he have the unique insights needed to be a successful Manager. From this point of view, it is also a good thing if Tiger really took over his position
People know that Ferguson likes his disciples from Class '92 very much, especially Giggs and Scholes. Even Beckham who left after the "Flying Boot" incident is also a very popular disciple. However, people don't know that the favorite disciple in Ferguson's mind is still the captain of Class '92 of that year, Tiger King. He always imagined that if there was no injury, then Tiger King must be the most dependent of his own players. If there is Tiger King, Manchester United may win more honors and trophies in these years.
After listening to Tiger King's words today, he remembered that in the past 16 years, Tiger King had worked as a coach in the youth team, and fully exerted his ability on the court to train and coach young players. Over the years, the players who have benefited from his guidance are as numerous as Ferguson's.
Therefore, no matter from the development of the club, or from a personal point of view, Tiger King is the top candidate to take over his coaching position.
Ferguson considered this matter for another three days, before he finally decided to talk to the club' higher up.
On a sunny afternoon after the training sessions, the team's assistant coach took the players to watch the video of the game indoors for tactical analysis, and Sir Alex Ferguson exited the room, bypassed the training ground, and came to the CEO's office.
The office's door was half open, and Ferguson knocked gently on the door. After getting a response, he walked into the room. He saw the club's current CEO, David Gill, sitting on a chair and looking at several documents on the desk.
"David, it seems you have been busy lately."
David Gil quickly left the seat: "Sir Ferguson ... Please, please sit down. What would you like to drink?"
"Black tea, thank you."
Secretary Brian brought black tea for Ferguson, then closed the door and went out. Jill asked with a smile: "Sir, have you changed your mind and are preparing to coach for another year to help the club get through?"
"NO, NO, NO, David, I have arranged a holiday with my family next month, how can I bear to let them down?"
Gill sighed: "I knew you wouldn't look back."
"David, what are you doing right now?" Ferguson asked.
Gill handed the document to Ferguson: "Sir, our negotiations with Mourinho have failed."
"Oh? Didn't he always want to return to the Premier League?"
"Yes, so he is ready to return to Chelsea."
Ferguson laughed: "This stubborn guy actually wants to return to the Blues? The Premier League next season should be interesting."
Gill was puzzled: "Sir, why don't I see any disappointment in losing Mourinho from your face?"
Ferguson spread his arms, "Why should I be disappointed?"
Gill thought about it: "Oh? Are you more optimistic about David Moyes? Signing him is not difficult, but you have said that Moyes is just a substitute candidate for Mourinho, a man who has no giants coaching experience, I question his ability."
"You're right, Moyes is really not the best candidate for Manchester United right now." Speaking of this, Ferguson took up the black tea and took a sip of it, looking very leisurely.
Gill, who has been with Ferguson for many years, so he sees something different from the old man's face: "Sir, seeing you drinking tea so leisurely, let me guess, do you have another suitable candidate?"
Ferguson held out his big finger: "David, if there are any other people here who are worthy of me being nostalgic after I retire, then Mr. Gill who is so acquainted with me is definitely one of them.
"I was actually right?" Gill was startled. He stood up and looked at Ferguson. "Sir, tell me, who do you fancy? Malcolm said to me long ago, as long as the Sire recommended someone, I must dig him out with all my strength. "
Malcolm is the current owner of Manchester United, Malcolm Glazer, the current leader of the Glazer family.
Gill walked back and forth in the house: "Carlo Ancelotti? Marcello Lippi? Or is it Arsene Wenger?"
Ferguson shook his head: "Jill, it's not as difficult as you think. this person does not need you to dig out, he is right next to us."
"Sir, what are you talking about?"
"Manchester United's youth team assistant coach Tiger King, I recommend him!" Ferguson said decisively.
Gill's anticipating face suddenly froze. He froze for a long time: "Sir, April Fool had passed half a month ago. It is now mid-April, please don't joke with me."
"You think I'm joking?" Ferguson now withdrew his smile, and his face suddenly became serious. "Gill, let me tell you, a few months ago, I thought Mourinho was the best candidate to save Manchester United, but I now, I feel that Tiger King is the hope for Manchester United in the future. "
Sitting on the sofa beside Ferguson, Jill asked quietly, "Why him?"
"My old friend, I have been coaching at Manchester United for so many years, will I push Manchester United towards it's downfall? Please believe my vision, Tiger King will definitely become the hope to lead Manchester United to continue its glory." Ferguson looked at Gill, his clenched fist shook slightly, just as excited as when he found Cristiano Ronaldo a few years ago.
hearing Ferguson said these words so firmly, Gill leaned back on the sofa, thinking.
"Sir, would you mind telling me something about Tiger King?"
In this afternoon, Manchester have a rare clear sky, the sun is shining warmly into the room. Two old friends talked about the man named "Tiger" just like they talked about the old.
In the evening, Gill invited Ferguson to dinner, which was rejected by Ferguson. He wanted to go home and enjoy the joy of family. After Ferguson left, Gill locked himself in the room, and he called a number: "Malcolm, I need to report something to you ..."
