Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

Chapter 198



The game was a success, but the situation was not good.

Ferguson's eyes were about to burst into flames, but now that the matter was settled, he could only accept this reality.

Of course, Heinze didn't know how much Ferguson would have to scold him when he returned.

Helplessly, Ferguson could only replace Giggs with O'Shea.

Manchester City also made substitutions, replacing the outstanding Ronaldo and Ronaldinho with Felipe and Kaka.

Milner moved forward to the left winger position.

In the following game, Manchester City, who played with one more player, had an absolute advantage, and Tony scored another goal with a header in the 75th minute, expanding the lead.

In the final moments, Manchester City did not continue to pursue due to physical problems, and Manchester United was unable to break through Manchester City's goal, and the final score was fixed at 4:1.

Manchester City won another Manchester City derby!

And this also made Manchester United's ranking drop to sixth place!

This made Ferguson a little restless.

If no more players are bought, Manchester United's Champions League qualification will be in question!

So Ferguson came to Malcolm Glazer's office again the next day: "Mr. Glazer, I think we should strengthen. Obviously, Chelsea and Manchester City are much better than our lineup now."

And to his surprise, Malcolm Glazer nodded without hesitation this time: "Mr. Ferguson, I also think we need to strengthen. So, do you have any requirements for signings?"

In the hearts of the Glazer family, although the championship is not so important, the Champions League qualification is quite important.

Without this Champions League qualification, it will lose at least tens of millions of euros!

So they also decided to start buying people!

Ferguson thought for a while: "I think we need to strengthen the midfield and the two flanks."

He paused and added: "The flanks have a higher priority."

In the tactics of the old Scottish man, the flank attack occupies an absolute dominant position, so the first thing he thought of was the flank position.

In his opinion, the reason for the failure of the last game against Manchester City was mainly because the gap between the two flanks and the opponent was too big.

Park Ji-sung and Giggs, who started, one is not a full-time winger, and the other has lost his speed advantage after aging, which often makes it difficult for Manchester United to open up the game.

So, he thought of buying another strong winger.

Malcolm Glazer said: "Then do you have any candidates?"

Ferguson took out a list with several names on it.

The first name, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Old Glazer's mouth twitched.

The second name, Damien Duff.

Old Glazer's heart skipped a beat.

Ferguson is kidding...

The third name, Arjen Robben.

Old Glazer looked up: "Mr. Ferguson, can we stop joking? These guys... I can't buy them!"

Ferguson said calmly: "These guys are dream-level. I wrote them down just to show you what a championship-level winger looks like."

Old Glazer thought to himself, you old man likes to joke.

So he continued to read.

Frederick Ljungberg.

Old Glazer almost cried, can't you give a reliable name?

Then he continued to read.

Craig Bellamy, Yossi Benayoun, Stuart Downing, Ryan Babel.

Old Glazer breathed a sigh of relief, these guys didn't look that expensive.

He pointed at the two names and said to Ferguson: "These are more realistic. But now we may need to investigate."

Ferguson said: "Then I hope you can bring me at least one of them before the end of the winter transfer window."

In fact, his original target was these few people, and the scary targets listed before were just to make these people seem less outrageous.

A famous writer from a certain oriental country once said: "If you want to open a window in a room, people generally won't agree. But if you say you want to tear down the roof, they will immediately agree to let you open a window."

Ferguson agreed.

After Ferguson left Malcolm Glazer's office, Daniel Glazer walked out of the inner room of the office: "Grandpa, who did Ferguson ask you to buy?"

Yesterday, after Manchester United lost to Manchester City without any temper, Daniel Glazer was so angry that he didn't sleep well all night. This morning he ran to his grandfather

office, hoping that his grandfather could come up with a good way to save Manchester United.

As a result, he happened to hear that Ferguson was coming to the office, so he hid in the inner room.

Malcolm Glazer handed Ferguson's list to him.

Daniel Glazer glanced at it and sneered: "Grandpa, are we just at his mercy? I feel that it's not that the players are not capable, but that his tactics are outdated!"

Malcolm Glazer glanced at his grandson: "Daniel, you can't say that. Half of Manchester United's current reputation is earned by Ferguson, and his influence in Manchester United is unimaginable to us. We have just taken over the team for a short time, and we can't touch him casually."

Daniel Glazer looked at his grandfather: "Grandpa, who are you going to buy?"

Old Glazer smiled: "Let's talk first and see who is easier to buy."

While Daniel Glazer was chatting with his grandfather, Yang Luo also got a list in his office.

This is the inspection list provided by the scout team.

Although Yang Luo basically bought players based on his memories of his previous life, the scout team occasionally gave him some good ideas.

Especially for local players in England, he still needs the scout team to investigate more.

With the development of the Premier League in the future, the household registration book will become more and more valuable, and he doesn't want to miss any potential English household registration book.

However, when he saw a name marked with a key symbol, he couldn't help laughing: "Stuart Downing? Why is he the focus?"

Tuchel on the side said: "This is because our scouts happened to meet Manchester United's scouts when they went to investigate him."

Yang Luo's heart moved: "Could Manchester United be interested in him too?"

Tuchel nodded: "It seems possible. Manchester United's current ranking is not ideal, and they may want to upgrade their lineup."

Yang Luo nodded knowingly. As Giggs grows older, he has begun to gradually develop towards the middle.

Manchester United does need a strong left winger to replace Giggs now.

But, Stuart Downing?

Although he is indeed the hottest star in the Premier League now, but...

When he thought of this, Yang Luo smiled wickedly: "It seems I need to add fuel to the fire!"
