Godfather Of Champions

This is not the most famous Epsom race in the world, nor the most luxurious Royal Ascot race in the world, nor even any of the five traditional races in the UK.

Although this was a small race meeting, nearly 10,000 spectators came to the venue that day. This shows the influence of horse racing in British society.

Ferguson's horse did not participate in this race meeting. He came purely to relax and relax. So he did not choose the box, but watched the game in the stands.

He placed a small bet on a horse before the race, and the amount was not high. As he said to Dunn, "Gambling is for relaxation, and money is secondary."

As a result, the horse he bet on won the championship, and he earned a small bonus.

"Do you like horse racing, Mr. Dunn?" In the lively venue, Ferguson took Dunn through it to cash out the bonus.

"I don't know anything about this." Dunn shook his head honestly.

"It's a pity. I have been teaching for thirty-two years. This is a tiring job. Horse racing is my only chance to relax." Ferguson shrugged. "What do you rely on to relax yourself?"

"drink."

"The wine is also good." Ferguson nodded. "But only red wine."

After cashing out his bet, Ferguson looked very happy.

Given his status and status, this little money should be overlooked. But he still showed his "trophies" to Dun En with a red face.

Don't look at Ferguson being called a "hair dryer" in the locker room. He was ruthless and ruthless in the game, like a ferocious and savage Tyrannosaurus. But off the court, he is actually a very popular and enthusiastic old man. He has a good reputation in the English football coaching circle. In addition to Manchester United's good results, more reasons are his personal charm.

When Dunn first met Ferguson at the reception of the English Coaches Association, he was surrounded by a group of colleagues listening to him. At that time, Dunn thought that this was just an act of flattering his colleagues to the winners, and he was very disdainful of it. But now he knows maybe it's more because Ferguson is a passionate person.

"Four hundred pounds, not much money. It is a horse that everyone is optimistic about. I rarely bet money on unpopular horses, and it is not easy to create unpopular ones now." Ferguson looked at Dunn and said meaningfully. "Let's go have a drink." He pointed to a tavern ahead.

After entering the tavern, the two found a table against the corner so that their conversation would not be disturbed.

There are many people in the tavern, and they are all talking about Marseille that just ended. The most popular sport in the UK, after football, is horse racing.

"How do you feel? Did you see a world completely different from football?" After a sip of red wine, Ferguson's excited face seemed to be slightly drunk.

Dunn looked at the people around him and nodded.

"I have a question, Mr. Dunn. Why do you suddenly remember to invite me to drink?" Ferguson put down the glass and looked at Dunn, who was sitting across from him. "I remember you are not a hospitable person."

"On a whim." Dunn lied without changing his face.

"Then why don't you invite Wenger, didn't the Frenchman have known you for a long time? When you were still coaching the youth team."

The feud between Ferguson and Wenger is well known to the world. Dunn was worried that repeatedly mentioning this person would wipe out Ferguson's good mood, and he waved his hand: "I said it's not Premier League time..."

Ferguson laughed: "I think it's a coincidence. I just rejected Nottingham Forest's offer to Van Nistelrooy, so you just called me out for a drink... Isn't there any connection here?"

Now that the intention has been seen through, there is no need to continue this scene. Dunn shrugged helplessly: "Yes, there is a relationship here, and it's still a big relationship. I very much hope that you can sell Van Nistelrooy to Nottingham Forest."

Ferguson looked at Dunn with a serious look, "You're so strange, Mr. Dunn. You came to invite the opposing coach to drink for a player... You may be the first to do this. Do you know the traditions of Manchester United? "

"Of course. But I don't think we are competitors." Dunn smiled.

"Aren't you blushing when you talk nonsense, Mr. Dunn? Whose team was it last season that prevented Manchester United from entering the top two in the league for the second time in eighteen years?" Ferguson asked Dunn, staring at Dunn, which sounds like a questioning. He is the same.

"But last season's champion was Chelsea."

"If I sell Van Nistelrooy to you, you might be the champion next season." Ferguson shook his head. "I insist that Nottingham Forest is gradually becoming a powerful competitor threatening Manchester United. The Red Devils have no tradition of selling players to their main competitors."

It should have been a good thing for Dunn to be recognized and praised by his opponents, but at this time he wished that Ferguson looked down on him.

"That's just maybe..." Dunn felt that this old man was unexpectedly stubborn. He had no reason to persuade the people in front of him to nod to Van Nistelrooy's transfer. Besides, he didn't want to make himself too weak in front of his opponent.

It really doesn't work, he can only give up Van Nistelrooy and pursue other strikers.

Berbatov has been preemptively signed by Tottenham. At that time Dunn was still immersed in the frustration of losing to Barcelona in the Champions League final, and he had no leisurely attention to the transfer market. Before Anelka's question, Dunn believed that the forward strength of the Forest team was sufficient and no new players were needed. But now in order to restrain Anelka, in order to let him understand his situation, he decided to shoot in the transfer market.

Van Nistelrooy is the most suitable candidate. It's a pity to give up for nothing...

But what can be done now?

Dunn was sipping the wine in the glass while thinking about countermeasures.

It wasn't until he was awakened by Ferguson that he found himself pouring an empty glass into his mouth...

"Are you worried?" Ferguson asked knowingly.

Dunn was a little embarrassed. I thought it was because of you!

Seeing Dunn's expression, Ferguson laughed, he made no secret of his happiness. "Can you tell me that besides the Dutchman, do you have other forward candidates?"

Dunn shook his head: "Not currently."

"Aha, so I successfully interfered with the pre-season preparation plan of the main competitor?"

"You can say the same." Dunn shrugged, he had given up his plan to persuade Ferguson. This stubborn old man is not something he can easily move. Even if he really invited him out to drink at the bar.

"Well, I gave up." He raised his hands, "I admit that we are your main rivals, strong enemies. It is very likely to threaten Manchester United's dominance in the Premier League. Not only that, I think the Forest will also threaten As far as the status of the Premier League teams in the European arena, my goal for the next season is still the Champions League. I understand your idea of ​​maintaining your own rule. I understand it very well. But...even if we are opponents on the court, drink together off the court. Is it okay?"

"Of course." Ferguson nodded.

Dunn poured himself wine and held it up: "Then today I will not talk about Manchester United and Nottingham Forest, not about football. Tell me about your favorite horse racing..."

※※※

That day, the two people did not talk about football anymore. It seemed that they were not the two rival coaches in the league, but more like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. Ferguson talked very happily, and Dunn drank equally.

When they were parting, the two were still reluctant, and they agreed to go out for a drink and watch the horse race after nothing happened.

But when the two returned to their respective teams, this friendship was immediately thrown aside. Who told them to be their own masters?

Tang was the first person to see Dunn because they lived together.

"Failed?" Tang knew Tang En's frustrated expression.

"Yeah." Dunn threw himself on the sofa, pinching his temples, and the scent of alcohol in his body radiated with his movements.

"Got drunk?"

"No...not drunk."

Hearing Dun En's answer, Tang curled his lips, his tongue was too big and he said he was not drunk?

"Don't... don't look at me, my tongue is big, I, my brain, my brain... are still awake and still!"

The ghost believes that his mind is clear.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow...Tomorrow, send a fax to Manchester United, raise the price, raise the price to 15 million...10,000..." Dunn's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end there was nothing but snoring.

Hearing Dun En's last words, Tang turned his head to look at Dun En, who was already asleep on the sofa.

Is this still sober?

He shook his head and sighed.

※※※

When he got up the next day, Dunn found that he was already in the bedroom. He narrowed his eyes as he watched the bright sunshine coming in from outside the window.

It's another hangover...

After washing, getting dressed and having breakfast with Tang, then rushed to the club to start a new day of work.

The first thing Dunn did was to offer Manchester United again, the goal was Van Nistelrooy.

This time Tang was really surprised. He did think that it was just nonsense that Dun En said when he was drunk yesterday, but he did not expect that he fully remembered it.

And Chris Lak thought Dunn had already agreed with Ferguson yesterday, so there was no doubt.

15 million pounds, this is the new offer from Nottingham Forest to Manchester United, which is five million higher than the first offer. Dunn is determined to win against Van Nistelrooy.

※※※

"Here again?" After receiving the fax, Queiroz was a little surprised. Ferguson told him about yesterday's affairs, and there seemed to be no agreement or understanding between them.

Ferguson took the Forest's second offer and looked at it in awe.

This Tony Dunn, didn't he give up?

"Reject?" Queiroz asked.

Ferguson waved his hand, did not speak, just continued to look at the things in his hand, as if he could see Dunn's true thoughts from this piece of paper.

When Manchester United bought the Dutchman, it spent 19 million pounds, setting a new record for England's transfer amount at that time.

Now that five years have passed, Van Nistelrooy has dedicated the best and most glorious years of his career to Manchester United, where he has truly grown into a world-class shooter.

Originally, this beautiful cooperative relationship could continue, but unfortunately... the relationship between the two eventually broke down.

But Ferguson sees more of this kind of thing. He has been in this giant club for nearly two decades, during which time he has been sent to countless people, whether it is a rookie he has cultivated himself or a star that he strongly buys. Whiteside, Paul Ince, Stam, Beckham, Roy Keane, now it's Van Nistelrooy's turn.

In the great Red Devils Manchester United, there is only one superstar, and only one person is indispensable, and that is their head coach Sir Alex Ferguson. Whenever there is a player who wants to challenge his authority here, there is only one end-being kicked out of Carrington. He doesn't feel any sadness for Van Nistelrooy's departure. Manchester United now has a group of outstanding young people, and the future belongs to them. Even if Van Nistelrooy does not conflict with himself, he will gradually be eliminated.

Tony Dunn...

Ferguson thought of the name again.

No one had heard his name three years ago, and he had no impression of this person. He seemed to have fallen from the sky, and suddenly led Nottingham Forest back to our sight.

Ferguson searched his memory for everything related to this name.

He finally remembered.

Three years ago, at a coaching reception in the summer, the former head coach of Nottingham Forest, Brian Clough, suddenly agreed to participate in the special reception for his election as the Premier League’s best head coach of the decade. Prior to this, his health was very poor. He had just had a liver transplant and had not appeared in front of the public for a long time. He stayed behind closed doors in his home in Derbyshire all day long.

Bobby Robson tried to invite Clough, after all, Ferguson's current achievements are worthy of letting those old seniors come to congratulate him. At that time, Ferguson felt that Clough would not come, because this old man had often said in the media that he was not.

Unexpectedly, Clough not only came, but also brought a person. At that time, he did not introduce the young man standing next to him and bringing him clothes to anyone present. Ferguson was only a one-sided bond, and he didn't pay attention after a glance.

Now he remembered that the young man who looked like Clough's personal doctor was Tony Dunn, who is now a big hit in England.

In three years, he grew from an obscure kid to lead his team in the third-level triple jump, reached the Champions League final, and forced Barcelona into an embarrassed celebrity coach.

Ferguson suddenly realized that even if he did not sell Van Nistelrooy to Nottingham Forest, Dunn would continue to threaten his status. And the kid was right that he not only threatened the status of Manchester United, but also threatened the status of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and European powers.

This kid is shrouded in a mysterious halo. Until now, everyone has no idea how Dunn discovered Frank Ribery, the main player of the French team, in the French low-level league; they don’t know how he is. Seeing that George Wood, who was still working as a porter, has this kind of football talent; I don’t know why he believes that Gareth Bale, who only trained for a day in Southampton, has great potential; when Pepe When he was still unable to play in Porto and did not prove himself in a high-level league at all, he did not hesitate to use the special genius clause once a season to get the labor license for Pepe; Pique and Bendtner are both himself and Wen Grid has been following the star of hope for many years, and Dunn, who has just been promoted to the Premier League, seems to have known these two people earlier than them. The two signings were settled in a flash. You must know that he was still there before. The first division, even the youth team mate... How could he have such a long-term vision? At that time, I knew that I wanted to become the head coach of the team, to lead the team to the Premier League, to lead the team to the Champions League?

I am going to retire after all...what will Manchester United do? Queiroz is a person who can't put much hope, he can only be an assistant coach... Searching all over England, he thinks that the only person who can take over his mantle is Tony Dunn. This is a young man with a tradition of victory and an endless desire for championships.

It's better to just sell personal affection.

"Agree with their offer and allow them to negotiate with the Dutch agent. At the same time, they also accept Bayern Munich's offer."

Queiroz was taken aback when he heard Ferguson say so suddenly.

"But, Sir, didn't you mean..."

Ferguson knew what Queiroz was going to say, he interrupted it and answered the doubts in the assistant coach’s mind seriously: "Carlos, I have eight Premier League titles and five FA Cup titles in Manchester United, one champion. Cup champion, a Winner’s Cup champion, a European Super Cup champion, and a Toyota Cup champion are not just obtained by not selling their players to competitors.” (To be continued, if you want to know what happens, please visit WWW .QIDIAN.COM, more chapters, support authors, support genuine reading!)
