When Ferguson heard Su Yun's name, he already knew who made the call. Ferguson has suffered many failures since entering England. But after his success in England, losing to Dagenham was the most painful failure.
.
Of course, for Ferguson, such a failure is nothing more than leaving the League Cup.
But what embarrasses Ferguson the most is that the media made too much fuss.
At that time, all the media were praising Dagenham and praising them for completing a dragon-slaying legend. It was at this time that Ferguson discovered that he and Manchester United had become the target of public criticism in English football.
In fact, failure was common in Ferguson's coaching career.
But that time it was just a little embarrassing.
It also made Ferguson firmly remember this young Chinese coach.
"Congratulations first."
Ferguson spoke very casually.
"Thank you, Coach Ferguson. I have something to ask you for today."
"Say it."
It seems that Su Yun's English is much more standard than Ferguson's. Although Su Yun's English also has some Chinese flavor, it is definitely much better than Ferguson's. Ferguson's English has a strong Scottish flavor.
Once Ferguson speaks fast, it is difficult for people who come into contact with him for the first time to completely understand him. However, as Ferguson is a famous England coach, many reporters and fans have become accustomed to his Scottish accent.
"Coach Ferguson, I'm interested in Boboski."
Yes, Su Yun is interested in Manchester United's Bobosky.
When watching the European Cup last summer, Su Yun was really impressed by Boboski of the Czech national team. His flowing blond hair, elegant breakthrough and sprint on the right sideline made Su Yun even more excited.
There were many good players in the Czech team at that time.
But Su Yun's favorite was undoubtedly Boboski. At that time, Su Yun really envied Manchester United and Ferguson. If he were also the head coach of a wealthy club, he would definitely bring in Boboski.
pity.
Boboski, who had great success in the European Cup a year ago, lost his glory in the European Cup after arriving at Manchester United.
First, he was not able to adapt to the rhythm of English football, and then he was troubled by injuries. Of course, there is another huge factor.
That is the strong rise of Beckham on the right.
Beckham is a supernova who has emerged during Manchester United's 1992 generation's scramble for power in the past two years. But I didn't expect that Beckham's upward momentum was so strong that Boboski was completely pushed to the bench.
Bobosky was very disappointed last season.
Unlike when he joined Manchester United with great enthusiasm at the end of last year's European Cup, Boboski has now become a completely marginalized person.
If it weren't for this, Su Yun wouldn't have dared to think about Bobosky.
"Karel?"
Speaking of Boboski, Ferguson also shed a lot of tears. During last year's European Cup, Ferguson also fell in love with Boboski at a glance. In Ferguson's eyes, Boboski was the embryo of a superstar.
It's a pity that after arriving at Manchester United, his performance was not satisfactory.
Unable to adapt to the Premier League and injuries, Boboski's performance at Manchester United was very poor. Manchester United is a wealthy club, and Ferguson is under performance pressure. It is impossible for him to adapt to the Premier League, restore confidence, and give Boboski a
More opportunities for him.
Manchester United is not a small team.
The outcome of one or two games can determine the championship. So although Ferguson liked Boboski very much, he could only blame Boboski for shooting in the wrong place.
And because it is Manchester United, there is a lot of attention.
As long as the performance in one or two games is not good, a lot of media will immediately come out to criticize. This puts huge pressure on Boboski, who has never been abroad. The more he wants to perform well, the worse his performance becomes.
Difference.
This is a vicious cycle.
Fortunately, Beckham's strong rise now has completely made up for Manchester United's right-side attack. With Beckham, Ferguson has much less expectations for Boboski.
"Yes, Coach Ferguson. Boboski can't reach his worth at Manchester United at all. Manchester United's attention is too high, Boboski is under too much pressure, and you can't give Boboski more.
Chance."
Ferguson said nothing.
Su Yun expressed Ferguson's thoughts.
Although it cost 3.5 million pounds to buy Boboski, it is impossible for Ferguson to give Boboski unlimited opportunities. And when the value of players is getting more and more inflated, 3.5 million pounds is not enough.
What a high price.
A few years ago, this value would have been very high. But after the Bosman Act, 3.5 million pounds was already very low.
So Ferguson already has plans to get rid of Boboski.
Just Sunderland?
Will Boboski be willing to go to English League One?
But that's Bobosky's business.
Ferguson pondered for a moment and said: "Su, you have to know that I spent 3.5 million pounds on Carrel."
Su Yun laughed.
"Coach Ferguson, Bobosky's performance in the European Cup is certainly worth 3.5 million pounds. But last season's performance is not even worth 1.5 million pounds."
Ferguson shook his head after hearing this.
This Su Yun is too ruthless. He bought the player for 3.5 million pounds a year ago. If he wants 1.5 million pounds, he can buy it.
Although 1.5 million pounds was nothing, Ferguson couldn't afford to lose face. It would be too embarrassing for a player's value to shrink so much in one season. So the two began to negotiate.
If outsiders find out, they will definitely laugh at them.
After Ferguson came to England, he still made a lot of big deals. There were also transfers that broke England's transfer record. Su Yun was not stingy with transfer fees this summer, but now he is arrogant for hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Eventually the two reached an agreement for £2 million.
Ferguson agreed to Sunderland's £2 million move for Boboski.
…………
"Karel, hello."
Ferguson agreed, but Boboski had to convince him personally.
After Boboski became famous in the European Cup, clubs interested in him could queue up. In the end, Ferguson took the lead. Although Boboski was in despair a year later, would Boboski, who had experienced a wealthy club, be willing to
Going to the second tier is a huge problem.
"Coach Su, hello."
Boboski looked very tired.
He has a handsome face, but his brows are furrowed.
"Karel, you should have received notice from the club. I know it will be a bit difficult for you to go from Manchester United to Sunderland..."
"No, Coach Su. I agree to go to Sunderland."
Su Yun hadn't started lobbying Boboski yet, but unexpectedly Boboski readily expressed his willingness to go to Sunderland.
Su Yun was stunned.
Fortunately, Su Yun reacted quickly and stood up directly to say, "Welcome, Karel. You won't regret it."
Boboski was also very disappointed.
From the wealthy Manchester United to the English League One team Sunderland, Boboski is very open-minded. Before last year's European Cup, Boboski had only played in the Czech domestic league. He had no reputation at all.
But his fame suddenly rose during the European Cup and he came to Manchester United.
This was originally the beginning of a fairy tale, but unexpectedly it was not a fairy tale, but a tragedy.
Over the past year, Bobosky has also begun to recover from his sudden fame. He has begun to re-examine himself. Now he just wants to play football well.
That's why I agreed to go to Sunderland.
…………
On July 20, 1997, Sunderland announced their tenth transfer of the summer.
Boboski moved from Manchester United to Sunderland for £2 million.
