Chapter 563
"Haqi!"
In front of the visiting coach's seat at Manchester Old Trafford Stadium, Gao Han sneezes heavily through his mask.
"Oh my god, is that old man Ferguson scolding me?"
Behind the mask, Gao Han said in a heavy cold accent, but he did not forget to turn around and glanced at Ferguson in front of the home team coach's seat. The latter was roaring at the court with anger and cursing at every turn. God knows who he is scolding?
"You, stop worrying, sit back quickly." Cantalero persuaded with concern.
Since I got rained at Meacha Stadium last week, I caught a cold the next day.
The temperature difference in Milan this season has changed a lot, and Gao Han has to lead the team to fight everywhere, which has caused his cold to be unrestrained, and he still wears a mask to direct the competition.
Gao Han was also a little tired, so he walked back to the coach's seat and sat down and really didn't want to stand up again.
After playing Manchester United's first leg, he led the team to play a away game in Serie A. The one that was fatal was Regina, who was in southern Italy, from south to north, and running back and forth, almost killed Gao Han.
But within two days of returning to Milan, he flew directly to Manchester.
As a result, Manchester was really deadly at this time, and the rain didn't rain, but it was nearly twenty degrees during the day, but it was only three or four degrees at night. I really wanted to kneel down.
As soon as I arrived in Manchester, Gao Han felt that his cold had worsened.
"The weather here is so terrible!" Gao Han cursed angrily.
Guardiola next to him handed Gao Han's kettle over. Gao Han unscrewed the lid and took a sip. He still felt dizzy and felt something was wrong.
However, Inter Milan's performance on the court made him feel relieved.
After winning three to zero at home, he challenged Manchester United away. Gao Han formulated a strategy to counterattack defensively.
The reason for this arrangement is mainly because of the differences in Manchester United's home and away performances.
In the Champions League this season, the Red Devils and Manchester United always played very bad away games, but they won all the way at home, which is a typical home dragon and away bug. Therefore, Inter Milan's away tactics are relatively stable.
Objectively speaking, the heavy rain in Milan City is indeed more beneficial to Inter Milan. In the water battle, Manchester United can't play at all. Not to mention Rooney, even Giggs, who is very delicate in his feet, makes many mistakes in passing and receiving, especially for mid- and long-distance passes.
This is the reason why Manchester United makes frequent passes and catches.
In contrast, Inter Milan has a skillful cross-received match in a small range, and the pressure of passing and receiving is not high, but it is more adaptable to rainy days.
But after returning to Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester United will obviously be more vigorous in the familiar venue.
As it turns out, the Red Devils did perform better at home in this game tonight. They did not feel a sluggish morale because they fell behind zero to three in the first round. Instead, they attacked Inter Milan's defense line in one go after the whistle sounded.
Once Ferguson's team plays its own pace, it is still very sharp and fierce.
But Inter Milan is not a good deal. She was born in Serie A and it is difficult for Manchester United to break through.
Throughout the first half, the Red Devils attacked the half with their teeth and claws. After the second half of the change of sides, the offensive remained unabated.
"Is Ferguson Ferguson, Manchester United or Manchester United after all."
Looking at the high fighting spirit of the Red Devils players on the court, Gao Han couldn't help but praise him with conscience.
Not to mention anything else, just this spirit of spirit, the strength of Red Devils and Manchester United is definitely not weak.
As the godfather of Manchester United, Ferguson engraved his character in Manchester United's soul and never gave up any hope until the last moment. This characteristic of the Red Devils has never lost.
In 1999, they relied on this spirit to reverse Juventus and Bayern Munich and eventually won the Champions League. Now, after losing in the first leg by 0 to 3, they played in the second half in the second leg, and they were still 0 to 0, but they still did not give up hope and were still looking for opportunities.
"Ferguson is indeed a respectable opponent." Guardiola nodded and praised.
Gao Han looked at his assistant and knew that Ferguson was one of Guardiola's most respected head coaches and smiled slightly.
"To be honest, it's a bit regrettable to defeat such a team with your own hands."
Guardiola and Cantalero next to him heard this, and looked at Gao Han's serious appearance, almost laughed out loud. It's okay if you're narcissistic, but you're still trying to do this like this. No wonder he wants to scold you.
If Ferguson next door heard this, he would probably fight you for his life.

"Is this kid a turtle tonight?"
Ferguson turned his head, looked at Gao Han who was sitting back in the coach's seat, and cursed indignantly.
"The first round was so strong, why did it shrink back in the second round? Can you still be a little coward?"
Assistant coach Carlos Queros smiled bitterly when he listened.
With three balls in the first round and still trying hard in the second round, Gao Han definitely kicked the donkey with his brain.
Uh...No, he seems to have really played like this.
It can only be said that Gao Han’s formation was very strange and completely unpredictable.
How to say it?
He can always surprise his opponents in some details that others have not noticed.
"You have to be careful, whether it is Cristiano Ronaldo or Adriano, they are ready to fight back at any time." Queros reminded cautiously.
In 2003, he accepted the invitation from then Real Madrid president Florentino to coach the Galaxy Battleship, but was dismissed a year later. Ferguson took the initiative to invite him to return to Manchester United and continue to serve as chief assistant coach.
Therefore, Queros was still full of respect for Ferguson and was fully convinced and assisted.
He also knows Ferguson very well and knows that the Scottish coach's wish is to win the Champions League championship again before retiring.
But the first round of zero to three forced Manchester United into a desperate situation.
"Gao Han is really good at using people." Ferguson praised on a whim, "Look at Cristiano Ronaldo, he was originally playing on the right side, but after moving to the left side, he realized his huge potential."
"Yes, he and Messi and Kaka should be regarded as the most powerful stars in the new generation of football today, with unlimited potential."
As a Portuguese, Queros has also paid attention to Cristiano Ronaldo and even persuaded Ferguson to introduce him for a while, but Atletico Madrid did not consider letting go at that time, and Cristiano Ronaldo did not think about coming to Manchester United.
I have to say that this is indeed a very regrettable thing.
"It's been seventy minutes. Are we going to collect it?" Queros reminded.
Looking at the situation on the court, Manchester United can't defeat it for a long time, and there are some strengths at the end, Inter Milan has been holding back the kicks, but this is obviously not Gao Han's personality, and he probably will press it out at the last moment.
But Ferguson shook his head, and a sharp look flashed through his eyes.
"Just being sealed by the opponent like this, that's definitely not our Manchester United style."
The old man's tone was very calm, but it was a powerful and powerful feeling, making it difficult to doubt his determination.
Queros has followed Ferguson for many years and he knows Ferguson's character.
Losing, he has basically lost, but he wants a goal.
It has nothing to do with the outcome, it is just for dignity.
…………
…………
As Queroz guessed, Inter Milan really launched a crazy attack at the last moment.
From the seventy minutes onwards, Gao Han suddenly replaced Figo and Macon, replaced Yaya Toure and Zanetti to strengthen the team's offense, and Inter Milan quickly launched a tide of offensive.
In the 78th minute, the Nerazzurri launched an offensive, Cristiano Ronaldo penetrated the penalty area diagonally, received a low cross from Macon on the right, and shot directly with his right foot, opening the first record for Inter Milan.
Just four minutes later, Inter Milan's attack was another wave of attack. Figo took the ball in the middle and turned around to get rid of Carrick, and passed through the penalty area. Ibrahimovic used his body to withstand Ferdinand, then received the ball and pushed the ball, breaking through Manchester United's goal again.
Leading with two goals, with a total score of 5 to zero, Inter Milan is already sure to win.
But at the last moment, Ferguson resolutely replaced Fletcher with Solskjaer and continued to strengthen the team's offensive.
Finally, in the 88th minute, it was Solskjaer's assist that gave Rooney a close-range shot. Cesar was helpless and was eventually scored a goal by Manchester United.
One to two, the total score is one to five, Manchester United is still honored even though they lose.
The fast-paced offense and defense in the last twenty minutes also pushed the atmosphere of the game to the highest point, as if a long-prepared movie ushered in a big outbreak of conflict at the last moment, which made people watch it happily.
…………
…………
The whistle sounded, and Inter Milan celebrated the team's promotion.
Ferguson looked as usual. After sending all the players back to the locker room, he took the initiative to go over and shake hands with Gao Han, made an appointment to drink together after the game, and returned to the coach's seat.
"Carlos, go back to Porto and help me inspect Pepe."
"Pepe?" Queros was a little surprised.
"Yeah." Ferguson nodded, "Gao Han highly praised this central defender, and it's time for us to strengthen the defense."
Among the players recommended by Gao Han, Ferguson thought about it and said that Pepe was the most suitable for Manchester United.
He at least proved himself in the Champions League.
"By the way, after seeing Pepe, you can go to Slovakia again."
"What are you doing in Slovakia?" Queros was shocked again.
"Gao Han told me that Kosice has a 19-year-old midfielder named Nemanja Matic, who is Kosice's main midfielder this season. He performed very well and had extraordinary potential. Please help me see, they should be playing the second round of double round-robin."
The Slovakian league is different from other leagues. There are only twelve teams in total. After the first round of double round-robin matches, the top eight teams in the standings will automatically enter the second round of double round-robin matches and finally determine the title.
"Nemanja Matic?" Queros murmured the strange name, obviously without any impression.
But Gao Han's ability to explore talents is famous. Even Queros, who cultivated a golden generation for Portugal, had to feel ashamed of himself, and he dared not doubt it easily now.
"I will ask Martin to go to Germany and get in touch with Leverkusen."
"Rene Adler?" Queiroz thought of the German goalkeeper on Manchester United's scouting roster.
"Well, Gao Han is also very sure of his ability. I plan to bring him to Manchester United as soon as possible."
When he said this, a sense of firmness erupted in Ferguson's eyes.
In the past few years, Manchester United has not only performed poorly in the Champions League, but also lost its former dominance in the Premier League, and has been suppressed by Chelsea for several consecutive seasons.
Now, he clearly felt that he was getting closer to retirement, and he felt that he had to seize the time to take a gamble.
Moreover, Gao Han’s strong recommendation gave him enough confidence.
