"Ha, sir, what brings you here?"


    Just after returning from Manchester to Orr degli Eich''s home, Ferguson''s car had been parked outside the gate.


    When I opened the door to welcome the guests, I saw the Manchester United manager holding two bottles of red wine in one hand and packing a few dishes in the other hand. He came in fiercely, with the spirit that Loulan would never return.


    "No, I haven''t drunk with you for a long time. I miss you."


    I was so scared that I welcomed Ferguson into the living room with a smile.


    "Are you alone at home?" Ferguson went in and looked around. There was no one.


    "Yes, Lin Xia came back to deal with some things, and I''m leaving for Dublin in a few days."


    City''s summer camp is set up in Dublin, Ireland, where it will train for at least half a month, with three warm-up games, then head to the Middle East for another two and finally return to Manchester.


    It can be said that the next whole month, alpine will be very busy.


    Two people are not wordy, directly came to the balcony on the second floor, drinking and eating on the overcast sky, but also do not have a taste.


    In recent days, Ferguson has been in trouble with Pepsi.


    First of all, the main player Tevez is asking for a raise. Agent Hora buchin openly said that the salary given by Manchester United to Tevez is low and should be raised. He also asked for a level with Rooney, because Tevez is not inferior to Rooney.


    But Rooney''s situation is not much better.


    The pervasive Sun newspaper revealed that Rooney ate many times during his wife Colin''s pregnancy, and there is evidence to prove it. This has greatly affected Rooney''s image, and even affected his contract renewal negotiations with Manchester United.


    Gary Neville, Giggs and Scholes, the only remaining class 92, have all reached retirement age, but so far United have not found any players to fill their vacancies, especially Giggs and Scholes.


    Competitive level is not satisfactory, management also has many problems.


    The Glazer family acquired Manchester United in debt at the beginning, and then transferred the heavy debt to Manchester United, which made the Red Devils the most profitable club in the world and become the most heavily indebted team in the world overnight, while the Glazer family drew blood from the club for profit.


    It was revealed by the media this summer, which caused the dissatisfaction of the fans. Some fans even openly organized to redeem Manchester United from the Glazer family through self financing, and hoped that Ferguson could come forward to support it.


    However, Ferguson explicitly rejected the request of the fans'' organization, saying that as the head coach of the team, he would not interfere in the daily operation and capital operation of the team, and he would continue to remain neutral. However, this made him criticized and bombarded by the fans'' organization and many fans, and he suffered a lot of pressure for no reason.


    But all these are just internal worries. Manchester United still have external troubles, that is, Real Madrid are still reluctant to give up on Rooney. Although Jose insists on Diego Costa, Florentino is desperately pursuing Rooney of Manchester United. What''s more, after the attack, Rooney also complained about Manchester United that the club did not protect him enough, They''re leaving the team.


    Under the attack of domestic and foreign troubles, Ferguson must feel bad.


    "To tell you the truth, I really envy you." After three drinks, Ferguson turned red.


    "Look at your coaching in the past few years. You have never worried about the players. If you sell one, you can dig out another one soon. I have some doubts. How can you be so accurate?"


    Gao Han ha ha a smile, don''t know how to answer, can''t say oneself have the eye of fire this bug?


    "Sometimes I don''t know what the players are thinking. I don''t understand at all


    "Isn''t that normal?" Gao Han comforted, "how old are you? You are 40 or 50 years younger than these young people in their twenties now. It''s strange that you can fully understand what they are thinking."


    In fact, how to communicate with young people is also a very difficult problem in European football.


    Everyone who can become a head coach is often 40 or 50 years old, such as Gao Han, who is over 30 years old, but has a great reputation. Therefore, there is a serious generation gap between the coach and the players.


    It''s hard to say who''s right and who''s wrong, but the generation gap and philosophy are the crux of the problem.


    It''s not just on the court, in life, parents and children, elders and juniors, superiors and subordinates.


    "Rooney can''t sell it!" Ferguson looks a little sad, "but precisely because of this, so his damned agent has become fearless, and Hora buchin is not a good thing."


    Speaking of this, Ferguson breathed heavily, but with loneliness.


    Today''s era is not the one he is familiar with. Especially in recent years, the global capital has poured into professional football, especially the Premier League. The impact is too big and too fast.


    Gao Han suddenly felt that he saw the shadow of his parents from Ferguson.


    His parents are all born in hardship. In order to buy a small house in Beijing, they have been on a diet for more than ten years, and they have to spend every penny carefully. Now they have managed to make a career in the cold, and they are well off. Their family is better off, but their parents still keep the habit of that year.


    For example, they don''t like driving, they think it''s wasteful, and Beijing is congested, so they like to squeeze buses; They don''t like regular physical examination, because they think that the body is not sick and pain, physical examination is meaningless, no disease can be the whole disease, and a waste of money; If Gao Han and Lin Xia were not around, a package of pickles would make up for them.


    Every time I go home, I listen to them talk about spending money on everything I do and how expensive it is to spend. Every time I go home, I laugh and explain. We can''t measure our society by the standards of more than ten years ago.


    It''s the same with Ferguson now.


    More than once, he bombarded the transfer market with a high price. When the media asked why Manchester United refused to help, Ferguson said he was satisfied with what the United team was doing and that the transfer market bubble was too large for United to play.


    That''s what the transfer fee is, and so is the player''s salary.


    Sometimes it''s not easy for him to think about it.


    Today''s professional football stresses globalization. The Premier League is vigorously developing overseas markets, and the major teams are also increasing their commercial development efforts. As one of the most outstanding clubs in commercial operation, Manchester United has dozens of sponsors in the world.


    What are the reasons why the sponsors support Manchester United?


    United''s influence around the world.


    What''s Holding United''s influence around the world?


    Results? Culture? Inside information?


    There are all these, but none of them are decisive.


    It is the stars who keep Manchester United''s influence on the world''s top teams for a long time.


    Is the world''s top ace superstar!


    It can be said that from the beginning of the professional league, the performance of the stars has always been the core topic of the fans, from Pele to Maradona, to Ronaldo and Zidane, and then to Ronaldinho, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, and so on.


    Manchester United''s commercial take-off just started when he set up a golden brand in the business field of David. Later, Florentino, who is good at growing up capital operation, knew the secret very well, so he held high the superstar strategy and transformed Real Madrid from a football giant with heavy debts into a commercial giant with the best revenue ability in European football.


    Why did Real Madrid''s commercial value plummet in the Calderon era?


    There is no ace star!


    If Real Madrid didn''t gossip with some big stars all day long in the transfer market at that time, the commercial value would decline faster.


    And looking at the current European football, which real rich team does not have its own ace superstar?


    Because of this, Florentino, who is deeply committed to the mystery, will be crazy to dig for Stars everywhere, especially in the case that Raul may leave the Bernabeu, he must find another star who can support the Real Madrid pattern.


    In Manchester United, Tevez''s tactical role may be very big, but there is only one indispensable ace star in the team, that is Wayne Rooney. Once Manchester United sell Wayne Rooney, the Red Devils'' commercial value will shrink sharply and decline rapidly.


    What about Chinatown?


    Falcao and Ramirez can be sold at such a high price. The value of players in Chinatown is generally much higher than that of other teams or even Valencia. Why are Qatar Airways, Nike and other sponsors willing to make a big contribution?


    Because this team has commercial value.


    There is no trump giant scarlet in Chinatown, but behind it stands an alpine cold!


    In the final analysis, professional football as an industry, it has long been more than just football.


    As the benchmark of club management and the representative of commercial football, Manchester United can be said to be a typical case of the transformation of professional football in the past decade, in which Ferguson has no ability to stop the torrent and can only support and maintain the United in his mind.


    "Tut, no more." Gao Han sighed and laughed, "come on, drink."


    "OK, let''s do it."


    Two people bang when a, all have looked up to drink the wine in the cup.


    Just after drinking and putting down the glass, Ferguson''s old and turbid eyes were slightly moist.


    After drinking this wine, he got drunk all night. When he woke up the next day, he had to appear in front of everyone. He had no confidence in his heart, but he had to tell everyone with confidence that Rooney would stay in the team, Tevez would renew his contract and Manchester United would continue to win the league title in the new season.


    This is the role he plays in this game. He has no choice at all.


    They were out on the balcony on the second floor, drinking one after another. They didn''t know how long they had been drinking. Gao only knew that he couldn''t drink enough. Later, he was so dizzy that he couldn''t accompany Ferguson any more. Almost all of them were drunk by the Manchester United manager alone.


    Every head coach has a lot of things in his mind that he can''t reveal to others, and Ferguson obviously has more.


    "Old man, be frank and lenient. If you come to me today, you will not just want to buy me a drink, will you?"


    "Nonsense, I''ll buy you a drink, and you still say that about me?"


    "Ha ha, come on, others will be fooled by you, I will believe you?"


    "Believe it or not." Ferguson''s got it.


    Cold is really drink almost, but still retain a trace of sober mind, "to tell you the truth, can help me help."


    "Really?" Ferguson grinned as if he had been waiting for that.


    "Nonsense, it''s rare for you to buy me a drink. I have to give you face." High cold nods a way.


    "Ferguson is a friend of the cold shoulder," then you sell me muhitarian
