"Ha, sir, what wind has blown you?"

Gao Han had just returned to his home in Aldley Edge from Manchester, and Ferguson's car had already parked outside the gate.

When we opened the door to welcome the guests, we saw the Manchester United coach holding two bottles of red wine with one hand and packing a few dishes with the other. He walked in with great enthusiasm, with a strong spirit of not returning until he defeated Loulan.

"I haven't drunk with you for a long time and miss you."

Gao Han looked so scared that I welcomed Ferguson into the living room with a smile.

"You're the only one at home?" Ferguson looked around after entering the door, no one was there.

"Yes, Lin Xia returned to China to deal with some things, and I will set out to Dublin in a few days."

Manchester City's training camp this summer is arranged in Dublin, Ireland, where they will train for at least half a month, arranged three warm-up matches, and then went to the Middle East to play two more warm-up matches, and finally returned to Manchester.

It can be said that Gao Han will be very busy for more than a month.

The two of them didn't talk much, and went directly outside the balcony on the second floor. They drank and ate in the cloudy sky, which was quite interesting.

Ferguson has been having trouble in everything recently.

First, the main player Tevez was asking for a salary increase, and the agent Horabchin publicly stated that the salary given to Tevez by Manchester United was relatively low and should be increased, and he also required a level with Rooney because Tevez was not worse than Rooney.

But Rooney's situation is not much better.

The omnipresent Sun disclosed that Rooney stole the food many times during his wife Colleen's pregnancy, and there was evidence and no excuse, which greatly affected Rooney's image and even affected his contract renewal negotiations with Manchester United.

Gary Neville, Giggs and Scholes, the three remaining Class 92, are all retired, but Manchester United has not found players who can fill their vacancies so far, especially Giggs and Scholes.

There are also many problems with the management level.

The Glazer family first acquired Manchester United in debt, and then passed the heavy debt to Manchester United, making the Red Devils turn from the most profitable club in the world to the most indebted team in the world overnight, while the Glazer family sucked blood from the club to make profits.

The incident was revealed by the media this summer, which aroused dissatisfaction among fans. Some fans even publicly organized themselves to redeem Manchester United from the Glazer family through self-financing, and hoped that Ferguson could come forward to support it.

But Ferguson clearly rejected the request of the fan organization, saying that as the team's head coach, he would not interfere with the team's daily operations and capital operations, and he would continue to remain neutral, but this put him under accusation and bombardment from the fan organization and many fans, and he was under a lot of pressure for no reason.

But these are just internal troubles. Manchester United still has external troubles, that is, Real Madrid still does not give up on Rooney. Although Mourinho insists on Diego Costa, Florentino is desperately pursuing Manchester United's Rooney. What's more, after the stealing incident, Rooney also complained about Manchester United, believing that the club does not protect him enough and is also leaving the team.

Ferguson must have felt uncomfortable under the attack of internal and external troubles.

"To be honest, I really envy you." After three glasses of wine, Ferguson's face turned red.

"Look at your coaching in the past few years, you have never been worried about the players' affairs. After selling one, you can quickly dig out another one. I'm a little suspicious. How can you be so accurate when you look at people?"

Gao Han smiled and didn't know how to answer. He couldn't say that he had the bug of ignorant eyes, right?

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

"Isn't this normal?" Gao Han comforted, "How old are you? You are, you are 40 or 50 years apart from these young people in your twenties. 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 at present.

Anyone who can become a head coach is often in his forties or fifties. People like Gao Han are already famous in their thirties, but they are unique. Therefore, there are often serious generation gap problems between the head coach and the players.

Ferguson and Beckham were once a father and son, but later they had a falling out. It was hard to say who was right and who was wrong, but the generation gap and philosophy issues must be the crux of the problem.

This is not just on the court, but in life, parents and children, elders and juniors, bosses and subordinates.

"Roney can't be sold!" Ferguson looked a little desolate, "but it was precisely because of this that his damn agent became fearless, and Horabchin was not a good thing either."

Speaking of this, Ferguson let out a heavy sigh again, helplessly loneliness.

This era is no longer the era he is familiar with, especially in recent years, global capital has poured into professional football, especially the Premier League, and the impact brought by the huge impact is too big and too fast.

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

His parents were both miserable. They once spent more than ten years on a diet to buy a small house in Beijing, and they had to spend every penny carefully. Now Gao Han finally made a career, had a wealth of money, and had a better life at home, but their parents still maintained the habits of the past.

For example, they don’t like driving and think it’s wasteful, and Beijing is blocked, so they like to squeeze in buses; they don’t like regular physical examinations because they feel that their bodies are not sick or painful, and physical examinations are meaningless. They can make up for illness without illness and waste money; they are reluctant to waste extravagance, and if Gao Han and Lin Xia are not around, a pack of pickled vegetables will probably make up for them.

Every time Gao Han comes home, he will listen to them saying topics such as spending money on everything he does and how expensive he spends. Every time Gao Han smiles and explains, and he cannot use the standards from more than ten years ago to measure the current society.

The same is true for Ferguson now.

He has criticized the inflated value of players in the transfer market more than once. When the media asked why Manchester United refused to sign, Ferguson said that he was quite satisfied with Manchester United's lineup and that there were too many bubbles in the transfer market and Manchester United would not take action.

This is true for transfer fees and so is player salaries.

Sometimes when you think about it, it is not easy for him.

Today's professional football emphasizes globalization. The Premier League vigorously develops overseas markets. Major teams are also increasing their efforts in commercial development. As one of the clubs with the best business operations, Manchester United has dozens of sponsors around the world.

What are the reasons why those sponsors support Manchester United?

Manchester United's influence around the world.

What maintains Manchester United's influence around the world?

Achievements?Cultural?Content?

All of these are, but none of them are decisive.

The stars are the ones that have truly allowed Manchester United to maintain the influence of the world's top giants for a long time.

He is the world's top ace superstar!

It can be said that since the professional league, the performance of stars has always been a core topic that fans are talking about, from Pele to Maradona, to Ronaldo and Zidane, to later Ronaldinho, Kaca, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, etc., all of them are like this.

Manchester United's business takeoff began when it established the golden signboard of Beckham's business field. Later, Florentino, who was good at large capital operations, knew the mystery very well, so he held up the superstar strategy and transformed Real Madrid from a heavily in debt to a business giant with the best revenue capabilities in European football.

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

No ace superstar!

If Real Madrid hadn't been rumored to have scandals with some big-name superstars in the transfer market during that period, their business value would have declined faster.

Looking at the current European football world, which real giant team does not have its own ace superstar?

Because of this, Florentino, who is deeply involved in the mystery, is crazy about poaching superstars, especially when Raul may leave the Bernabeu, he must find a superstar who can support Real Madrid's situation.

At Manchester United, Tevez may have a very big tactical role, but there is only one indispensable ace superstar in the team, that is, Rooney. Once Manchester United sells Rooney, the commercial value of the Red Devils will shrink significantly and quickly decline.

So what about Chinatown?

Falcao and Ramirez can be sold at such a high price. Chinatown players are generally worth a lot higher than other teams, and even Valencia players. Why are other sponsors such as Qatar Airways and Nike willing to make big sponsorships?

Because this team has commercial value.

There is no ace giant ape in Chinatown, but there is a high cold behind it!

Ultimately, as an industry, professional football is no longer just football.

As a benchmark for club management and as a representative of commercial football, Manchester United can be said to be a typical case of professional football transformation in the past decade. Ferguson, who is in it, is powerless to stop this torrent, and can only help but struggle to support and maintain Manchester United in his mind.

"Tsk, I won't say it anymore." Gao Han sighed and laughed, "Come on, drink."

"Okay, it's done."

The two of them clanged, and they all raised their heads and drank the wine in their glasses.

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

After drinking this wine, he was drunk all night. When he woke up the next day, he had to appear in front of everyone with a red face. He was obviously unconfident, but he still had to tell everyone with confidence that Rooney would stay with the team, Tevez would definitely complete the contract renewal, and Manchester United would continue to compete for the league championship in the new season.

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

The two were outside the balcony on the second floor, drinking one cup after another, opening one bottle again, and not knowing how long it took. Gao Han only knew that he could not drink enough, but later he was dizzy and couldn't help Ferguson. Almost all the old Manchester United coach was drinking alone.

Every head coach has a lot of thoughts hidden in his heart that cannot be revealed to outsiders, and Ferguson obviously has more.

"Old man, be honest and lenient. If you come to me today, you will definitely not just want to invite me to drink, right?"

"Nonsense, I'll invite you to drink, and you still say that to me?"

"Haha, come less, others will be fooled by you, will I believe you?"

"Do you believe it or not?" Ferguson was spoiled.

Gao Han really drank almost the same, but he still had a hint of soberness in his mind, "To be honest, if you can help me, I will help you."

"Really?" Ferguson grinned and laughed, as if he had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.

"Nonsense, it's rare that you invite me to drink. I have to give you this face." Gao Han nodded.
Chapter completed!
