Chapter 1224 Between father and son
"Hi." Ferguson sighed. "These people don't understand what football is. Although they have been watching it for decades, they seem to understand everything. In fact, they are far from football."

The eldest son did not speak this time but looked at his father very intently. He knew that his father was old, but it is difficult for anyone in the world to have the understanding and wisdom of football, so she still wanted to hear what his father said. understanding of the matter.

"In the past, Ai Huan was a very characteristic player. His offensive power has always been superior. There is no need to say more about this, but after passing Milan, his defensive ability has also improved by leaps and bounds. This is what many people pay most attention to but also the most neglected. The point. It wasn’t until Magath put him in the position of a free agent that the world noticed that this guy turned out to be a good offensive and defensive player. I have observed that his defense is very smart. He never made any big moves, just Use your own speed and frequency to wait for the opponent to make a mistake, and anyone who can't get rid of him will make a mistake, which also gives him a chance. When Schalke and Valencia played against each other, Mata could not be controlled by him at all. , is the biggest manifestation of his characteristics, and he often does such things in Schalke."

"But he doesn't exist in defense at Chelsea now?"

"Yeah, at the beginning I also thought that if it can come to me, then I will put him in the center position, and then he can be the last resort of our offense and the first defense of our defense. One layer of dams, that’s why.” He paused, took a sip of coffee and continued, “But this is actually wrong, because Ai Huan’s defense is actually his biggest loophole. "

"What?" The eldest son's eyes widened this time, looking at his father in disbelief.

Ferguson had already lit a cigarette, and his tone didn't change at all amidst the smoke, "Do you remember who eliminated Schalke back then? That was me. Although I don't want to boast, it was indeed the first one I thought of. Use his defensive awareness to deal with him. At that time, I asked the whole team to attack crazily to suppress Ai Huan's offense, so that he could only participate in the defense in his own half, so that he could take care of one thing and lose another. In the end, I won. But Schalke has also made changes. But these are not problems, because even when Schalke swept Europe last season, Ivan was still defending. This is the biggest problem of Schalke, but all of Europe used all There is no way to stop him, because he keeps growing, and when Mata, Fuchs, Joaquin and others are added to his side, Schalke can already fill in the loopholes that appear when Ai Huan retreats, so it is Even I thought that as long as someone supports Ai Huan, I can achieve what I want."

Speaking of this, Ferguson suddenly stopped again, as if caught in a kind of memory, "I'm not as good as Mourinho, he actually saw all the connotations. It is unimaginable to me that I would rather give up his defensive ability than his greatest offensive ability. Yes, he is much stronger than me."

"Mourinho? What's so good about him?" The eldest son was obviously comforting his father. There is no need to prove anything about whether Mourinho is good or not.

Ferguson smiled wryly, "You can just say this in front of me. If you say it outside, many people will think you are a lunatic. It can be said with certainty that Mourinho's vision is very vicious. I believe him With Chelsea, there is no start at all, and the upcoming winter transfer will become a big drama, when Chelsea will fill in their last shortcoming, then Chelsea will be difficult to deal with."

"I still don't quite understand!"

Ferguson looked at his son, and then explained to him patiently, "It's actually very simple. If Ai Huan participates in the defense, on the surface, he can enhance his team's defensive ability, but at the same time he must give up his offensive ability. If they keep a goal, they will always not score a goal, and their defense is still unable to stop a team like our Manchester United, so I can control Ivan in that game. But now Mourinho Ao has given up on his defense, and they would rather concede a goal in every game than they don't care, because Ai Huan can always score goals in the frontcourt, his offense is enough to kill the game, that's enough, and once Mu Rinho changed the specific problem of his defense, so who else can stop this terrible Chelsea?"

Having said that, he stopped talking again, but continued to smoke the cigarette in his hand. The eldest son didn't dare to disturb his father. He knew that the old man was thinking about something again. It seemed that the League Cup was already on Ferguson's heart .

After a long while, Ferguson suddenly put out the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray, and then stood up suddenly as if he had made a decision, "You, go tell the American tycoons, tell them that I will not retire after this season, I want to work for another year, this Mourinho and Ai Fan really set my heart on fire again, I want to fight him hard, I want to see if he is qualified, no, they are enough Not enough."

"What are you qualified for?" The eldest son was a little puzzled and looked at Ferguson strangely.

Ferguson laughed like an old fox. "Of course, Manchester United is handed over to him. I think only Mourinho is the future of Manchester United. If he can work here for 15 years, then Manchester United will I have always stood at the top. This is a club I built with my own hands. I brought them out of the trough to glory. I can't watch them go to hell again. I want to hand it over to a qualified person. .”

The eldest son nodded. He knew how much Ferguson had put into this club. Of course, he could understand his father's decision very well, but there were still some things he didn't understand, so he couldn't help asking, "Then why them? Who else but Mourinho?"

Ferguson couldn't help laughing, "Of course it's Mourinho and Ai Huan. Besides the two of them, who else can it be?"

"Mourinho, I can believe there is a chance, but is it possible for Ai Huan?"

"Did you really think that Ai Huan went to Chelsea because he liked Chelsea? Didn't you watch Dipper's interview two days ago? He clearly stated that Ai Huan left because of no choice but to go to London because of Taylor. And he himself is not very fond of London."
