In Ferguson's impression, after he said these words, Gao Shen should have challenged him.
But the result was completely beyond his expectation, Gao Shen didn't even have a go at it.
Not only did he not argue, he nodded readily and replied with a smile on his face: "I believe it."
This makes Ferguson completely unpredictable. When did this kid become so good-tempered?
Seeing the puzzled look on Ferguson's face, Gao Shen immediately laughed again, "For the sake of you selling Pogba to me, I won't argue with you for a while."
Ferguson was angry and helpless when he heard this. This bastard didn't respect the consciousness of the elders at all.
But soon, my heart thumped, and I looked at Gao Shen again, suddenly realizing that I had been deceived.
"I bet you only wanted Pogba from the beginning?" Ferguson's tone rose a lot.
Gao Shen smiled and waved his hand, "Don't be so surprised, Jazz. You have to think about it this way. Manchester United doesn't have the soil to train young players. We will do it for you now. And you have plenty of money. When the players are trained, you can take it."
Money to buy it back."
At this point, Gao Shen spread his hands and said, "Look, you get high-level stars, we get money, and everyone is very happy."
"I'm not happy!" Ferguson got angry.
He really didn't expect it to be Pogba at first, because Gao Shen looked down on the French midfielder from the beginning to the end.
It turns out that this was all a conspiracy, and they went around in a circle just to get Pogba.
"Then you are lying when you say Lingard is comparable to Messi?" Ferguson became even more angry.
Gao Shen was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly, "This is true, absolutely true, more real than pearls."
That's Emperor Lin!
In front of Lin Huang, Messi is a scumbag!
Hearing what Gao Shen said was so confident and didn't sound like he was lying, Ferguson felt a little better.
But I have spent my whole life tossing others, and when I am old, being tormented by this young man is not a feeling.
The more he thought about it, the more something went wrong, and finally he extorted several boxes of wine from Gao Shen, which was considered a small punishment but a big warning from him.
"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you calm down." Gao Shen happily agreed.
Seeing him like this, Ferguson also lost his temper.
After all, running a club is not easy.
Especially a mess like Leeds United.
Others may not know it yet, but how could Ferguson not know it?
He knew everything about Leeds United from beginning to end. They were mortal enemies and so close.
"I watched yesterday's Championship game," Ferguson said.
Gao Shen was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ferguson to pay attention to Leeds United?
"Don't look at me like that. We are mortal enemies. If you want to overtake, of course I have to pay attention." Ferguson explained.
This reason is a bit far-fetched, but it's still okay.
Gao Shen is not worried about being poached, because the basic contracts of Leeds United players are now in the hands of the team.
The ones that are really difficult to deal with are often those players who are in contract years.
So many times, teams renew contracts for players, which is also a science.
Of course, the team is smart, but the players are not stupid either.
Just like Berbatov last season, it happened to be in the contract year, and he immediately showed his best performance.
There is another very famous player, Flamini, who transferred from Arsenal to AC Milan. He also broke out as soon as the contract year came and he failed after receiving the contract extension.
Sometimes, this situation is still very troublesome.
Just like Flamini, if you take a closer look, you will find that from Marseille to Arsenal, from Arsenal to AC Milan, and then from AC Milan back to Arsenal...this kid all moved on free transfers.
That's interesting, isn't it?
Everyone knows that free transfer players are not cheap because the players' salary requirements will be higher.
To put it simply, Flamini's approach cheated the club but enriched himself.
The key is that this guy didn't know when he met a partner who was proficient in chemistry, and he created some kind of product. Later, he became prosperous and was even included in the French rich list. He was definitely a winner in life.
There has never been a standard for the conflict of interests between players and clubs, only games and compromises.
…
"How do you feel?" Gao Shen asked with concern.
Ferguson has been coaching in the Premier League for decades and is well-informed. He has experienced all kinds of teams and everything, and his vision is still very accurate.
"At present, the integrity is still relatively loose and needs further integration. If it can be gradually integrated as the game progresses, there is still a good chance of promotion to the Premier League. But if you want to avoid relegation in the Premier League, you need to go further, especially the players.
growing up."
Having said this, Ferguson looked at Gao Shen, with a searching look in his eyes, as if he wanted to completely see through the person in front of him, "Your players are really young, but they are all quite good. They are all good players."
, how did you dig it out?"
After coaching for so many years, Ferguson and others could tell at a glance whether he was a good player or not.
For example, Koulibaly is indeed very irritable, but his physical fitness is really good. The key is that he is only 20 years old. After another three or four years of training, as long as he can train his defense and make his playing style more stable,
Then this player becomes.
There is also a player like Bolasie, who has such excellent physical fitness, is very fast, and has quick foot movements. He is really a threat on the court. The biggest problem is that he is already 22 years old.
There is less room for growth.
This also reflects a standard for youth training selection.
Age is a very important consideration.
If Bolasie were two years younger, his current performance would definitely be the most amazing.
Take Zaha for example. Ferguson immediately fell in love with this kid. Unexpectedly, after going to Manchester United, Ferguson retired, so Zaha chose to return to Crystal Palace after being loaned out by Manchester United continuously.
If the scoring champion was coached by Ferguson, his achievements would definitely be higher than those of Gao Shen in his previous life.
Of course, Gao Shen would not reveal how he found so many treasures, but he still humbly asked Ferguson for some advice on the training of young players, especially in an environment like the United Kingdom.
Ferguson was relatively familiar with the situation at Leeds United, and he suggested to Gao Shen that it would be best to arrange for the players to stay away from idle people, especially those of the same age who hang out in society all day long.
This reminds Gao Shen of Raphael Morrison.
This young genius is really talented, even better than Pogba, but he just makes bad friends.
Ferguson has repeatedly asked him to stay away from his friends, and he himself once thought about alienating himself, but those friends kept coming to him, so gradually, Morrison became desolate.
There was news that Ferguson later wanted to send Morrison to West Ham United in the hope that he could leave the environment in Manchester, but in the end it failed and Morrison still failed to kick out.
"You know, children at their age can't tell what is good and what is bad, and they can't see the distant future. What they talk about is blood and brotherhood, and they rarely consider the consequences of doing things.
and costs, so the best way is to keep them as far away from those complex environments as possible.”
Gao Shen understood what Ferguson meant.
Especially young people like Bolasie and Zaha, their backgrounds are relatively complicated, and their interpersonal relationships are not that simple, so in many cases, the club needs to do more to take more care of them and guide them.
But to be honest, the club is not a charity, let alone a charity. It is impossible to consider and take care of everything for the players, and the players may not be grateful for such care.
So in many cases, what clubs can do is quite limited.
"Actually, I think your current training base is quite good. It is far away from the city and there are not so many temptations. The players are all outsiders. As long as we arrange suitable fan families to stay for them, I believe we can save a lot of money.
trouble."
Many young players live in fans' homes, and the club will subsidize part of their room and board expenses, and many fans are happy to do so.
In the UK, the security in urban areas of many cities is worse than in the suburbs. The area where Leeds United's security is relatively poor is in the north of the city, but the Thorpe Arch training base is located quite far from the urban area and is a small town.
In towns and villages, public security is the best.
"Times have changed, and many things that we used to take for granted have become rare now."
Ferguson suddenly smiled with emotion.
"Did you know? In the past, our youth training selection was limited. There were very few youth training players living in the fans' homes, so they were all in demand. This is also an emotional bond between the club, fans and players.
, but now it seems to have faded away, or even disappeared, and it has become a kind of business and transaction."
Ferguson is seventy years old.
After working in this industry for so long, the most difficult and tiring thing is that many things are increasingly inconsistent with my traditional impression.
He couldn't stand it, but he had no choice but to constantly force himself to accommodate and compromise.
This was the case when Manchester United was acquired by the Glazer family, and the same is true for the training of young players.
"Come on, work hard. Although I have only watched one game, your players are really good. If you train them, there is still a good chance of relegation in the Premier League." Ferguson encouraged.
The strength gap between the teams in the Premier League relegation zone and the mid-table teams in the Premier League is actually not that big.
Therefore, a team like Everton may fall to the verge of relegation if not careful.
For example, Birmingham finished ninth in the league the previous season and were directly relegated last season.
The competition in the Premier League is really fierce, so every team must be cautious.
If Ferguson said that this team has been trained to have the ability to avoid relegation, it is equivalent to saying that this team has the level of the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League.
This is already considered a very high evaluation.
Ferguson's view is still somewhat different from Gao Shen's own estimate.
But in any case, this is a relatively distant thing. The most important task for Leeds United at this stage is to integrate the team as soon as possible, develop integrity, cultivate tacit understanding, and then perform better in the English Championship.
, successfully broke into the Premier League.
As for the future of Premier League relegation, this is a topic that only needs to worry about next year.
