Chapter 436 The second meeting with Ferguson
This is the second time that Jester and Alex Ferguson, the legendary head coach in Manchester United history.
Of course, Ferguson is still far from being called a legend.
However, judging from his current appearance, at least this time, the Manchester United coach's face looked much better, which is certain. Manchester United was in the relegation zone at that time, but Manchester United has returned to the championship echelon.
He also won a cup championship, although the league cup championship is not valued.
"Thank you for your support, Mr. Li."
Ferguson spoke sincerely and his face was flushed. He finally did not disappoint Jester's original credit. Jester nodded without saying anything, but there was a smile on his face. To outsiders, he should be satisfied.
“Tonight’s game…”
Seeing Jester asking about this game against Liverpool this evening, Ferguson was very confident. When he spoke, he spoke in a decisive tone and even clenched his fists hard to express his confidence. It was definitely not a pretense.
"We will definitely win!"
Hearing this, Jester did not respond much, but Claudia was a little dissatisfied. She was in the UK all year round, and she was also a football fan. Although the team she supported was not Manchester United, she frowned in dissatisfaction and said: "Mr. Ferguson, you should know that your opponent in the next game is the current leader. Although we just defeated them in the League Cup, it was just a championship for the League Cup, an irrelevant event, and our opponent, Liverpool's current league points are ten more than us!"
Jester was actually a little dissatisfied with Claudia's sudden speech because he knew how great the coach in front of him, who is still not famous, would be in the future. However, Claudia didn't know this. Jester actually didn't care about the winner or loser of this game.
So what if you lose? As long as you trust Ferguson and give all the support he can give, then in the future, Manchester United will inevitably become the greatest club in the world and will eventually kick Liverpool off the throne.
When Ferguson heard the questioning of his boss's girlfriend, he was still a little embarrassed. He said it was embarrassing or a better statement, but he actually was angry, but Ferguson also knew that he was far from being qualified to be serious with his boss. He is not the champion coach when he was in Aberdeen, but he is just a head coach who just took the position of coach at Manchester United.
Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Jester was the first to speak.
"I believe in all Mr. Alex Ferguson's judgment on the team is just like what I said when I handed the team over to you. I look forward to you becoming the legendary coach and I will become the legendary chairman." As he said, Jester paused a little, and he said another sentence in a mysterious tone. Ferguson was flattered in an instant.
"I believe that in decades later, your achievements are comparable to Sir Matt Busby."
While saying that, Jester pointed his hand outside. This is the interior of Old Trafford, and the direction that Jester pointed his finger at was the direction of the main entrance of Old Trafford Stadium: "I promise you that within ten years, you will definitely be able to lead the current Manchester United to win the European Championship trophy. At that time, I will be there to erect a bronze statue for you and make you a symbol of Manchester United forever."
Jester spoke this sentence very calmly, but in Alex Ferguson's ears, the sound was indeed as thunderous as thunder.
"Bronze Statue!"
Now in Alex Ferguson's mind, this word is full of mind - erect a bronze statue for me before the main entrance of Old Trafford! And he also said that I can lead Manchester United to the European Champions League? God, how is this possible!
It’s no wonder Ferguson doesn’t believe it. It’s not the time when Nottingham Forest and Alaston Villa were able to win the European Champions League. It’s time for the League One team to sweep Europe. Since it was suspended four years ago, British football has been abandoned by mainland Europe.
As a head coach and a very outstanding head coach, Ferguson is very clear about this.
He now knows very well how big the gap between them and those real European teams is.
However, after hearing Jester's words, after the initial shock and disbelief, a fire immediately ignited deep in his heart - why not? I can beat Real Madrid in Aberdeen and win the European Super Cup!
Why is it not possible in the League One? What's more, Manchester United!
Jester himself also knows that it is too early to say this now. Manchester United can't even dominate the League One, let alone dominate Europe. However, in Jester's view, in original history, Manchester United won Matt. Buster's first European Championship trophy after Matt Buster was still too far away.
After 1994, Manchester United actually had the ability to compete for the championship. As long as they work hard, it is not impossible for Manchester United to win the Champions League before Cantona retires.
Thinking of this, Jester remembered the most important player in the future rise of Manchester United, Cantona, who was intimately called the Forever King by Manchester United fans.
"By the way, coach, when I was watching the French team's game, I saw a player in them, called Eric Cantona, who was a very talented player..." Before Jester could finish speaking, he saw Alex Ferguson's face unhappy.
At this time, he remembered his promise to Ferguson, saying that he would never actively interfere in things within Manchester United.
"No, coach, I think you misunderstood me. I did not interfere with your idea of dominance in Manchester United. I just talked about this player. He is very talented and has a very leader temperament. You know, such players are rare!" Jester said sincerely, and Ferguson's face returned to normal.
"Eric Cantona..." Alex Ferguson whispered the name, as if he was thinking about something on his face, and then a bright color flashed in his eyes, "I think I know who you are talking about."
"The young man in Montpellier... is indeed as you said, his talent is dazzling."
Eric Cantona was born in 1966 and is only over 23 years old now. He is indeed a young player. Moreover, he has a great reputation in France and is praised by many celebrities as the successor of Platini. You should know that Platini is the legend of the French who is hailed as our own football emperor.
But like his football skills, Cantona is even more famous than his football skills, that is, his bad temper.
So, at present, he is still living in the unknown Montpellier.
"Sir, do you think Cantona has a leader temperament?" Alex Ferguson asked Jester with a smile, as if he was curious about Jester's next answer.
In fact, I have never seen Cantona play football in this era. The scenes in his impression are the scenes when Cantona was wearing Manchester United fans and leading Manchester United players to destroy the city and look down on the world. So when Jester faced Ferguson's rhetoric, he could only smile awkwardly.
"I can't say it either. I just think he has a very special temperament. This temperament is like... it's like Brian Robson. It's just a feeling. I'm amateur and don't know if it's right."
While talking, he laughed, trying to hide the topic he had raised.
Unexpectedly, Ferguson nodded: "I have watched Cantona's video. Indeed, this is a very, very outstanding player, but it is precisely because of his excellence that I think it is difficult for our League One team to impress him. As you said, what I see from him is his temperament like Brian and the temperament of a leader."
Brian Robson is now the No. 7 captain of Manchester United and the No. 7 captain of England. He is one of the best midfielders in the world, an unquestionable leader and a symbol of Manchester United today.
Jester naturally knew that Cantona is still arrogant now and naturally could not join the League One team. It was only a year or two that he had completely lost interest in going to those major leagues. For example, he bought Cantona to Manchester United before Leeds, and he didn't have to buy from Leeds later.
"Mr. Ferguson, you are right, but I think it's hard for any team to take in with Cantona's temper..." Before Jester could finish his words, he was interrupted by Alex Ferguson's voluntary speech.
"I don't agree with that."
When saying this, Alex Ferguson's tone was very sure and solemn.
"I think the reason Cantona's temper is like the world sees is because he hasn't met a coach who can really understand him. In my eyes, Eric Cantona is just a piece of rough jade, but it's just lacking in some carvings."
When he said this, a shimmer appeared on Alex Ferguson's face.
Jester can also tell from this that Ferguson probably had some ideas about Cantona, and maybe he had contacted it. Maybe it was because Cantona didn't want to come to the League One, and Manchester United's performance over the years was not good, so he refused.
"Mr. Ferguson, as long as you are the player you want, the price is not a problem."
Chapter completed!
