Chapter 432 Leaving with Glory

After the all-night carnival in Manchester, a celebration was held at Old Trafford Stadium as scheduled. The stadium was full of excited people, waving Manchester United scarves and excitedly raising the imitation of the Big Ear Cup!

All Manchester United players walked into the stadium in jerseys marked with the words "We Are Champions", and Old Trafford immediately boiled up!

After the celebration, Manchester United players will ride the bus to share the joy of the championship with the whole city, and the trophy of the Premier League champion will appear on the float.

It's just that before all the celebrations began, Ferguson's words covered the whole celebration with sadness.

Ferguson is retiring!

Ferguson spit out his iconic chewing gum and walked slowly down the stands. In this familiar venue, he first hugged his proud students one by one, and then slowly walked to the center of the Old Trafford Stadium. At this time, nearly 80,000 spectators burst into thunderous applause again. Gerson was also unable to suppress his mood at this time, and responded with warm applause.

After a long round of applause, Ferguson finally began his farewell speech. He said, "There is absolutely no speech in my mind, so I can only say it casually, hoping I can summarize it. First of all, I would like to thank Manchester United, not only the director of the club, not only the medical staff, not only the coaching staff, the players and the fans. I would like to thank everyone. You have always been a wonderful experience in my life.

"I have always been lucky to coach some of the best players in this country, let alone Manchester United. All the players here today represent the right way the club operates. They won the championship at a fantastic moment. Well done, players.

"My retirement does not mean that my relationship with Manchester United will end. I can now watch their games with more enjoyment than often suffering with them. If you can think of this, then all the last-minute goals, reversals, and even losses are part of our great club. Now it (Manchester United) is incredible. Thank you for that.

"I also want to remind you that when our grades are bad, the club has always supported me, all the staff support me, and all the players also support me, and now your job is to support the next head coach. Before I start to cry, I want to pay tribute to Scholes. He is incredible. He is one of the greatest players in this club. His type may not be the club before or in the future. Paul (Scholes), we hope you have a good retirement. I know you will come to harass me, and I hope you can join me.

"Players, I hope every player will succeed in the future. You know how good you are. You know what the jersey you are wearing represents. Don't let people down. I'm looking forward to being here forever. Well, I'm going home now. I'll be in the locker room for a while. I want to thank you again on behalf of the Ferguson family. Thank you.

The Lord's farewell speech was not long, and he was not obviously excited to tears, but tears flashed in the corners of his eyes. It is worth mentioning that the TV scene at Old Trafford captured several Manchester United fans from Hong Kong, holding up their homemade cards and saying: "Thank you very much, ThankyouFergie!!"

In the presence of more than 80,000 fans at Old Trafford Stadium, Ferguson said his official retirement!

There have been all kinds of rumors before, but this time it's true. Ferguson, the boss of Manchester United, is really going to retire!

Maybe on the day the bronze statue of Ferguson was erected outside the Old Trafford Stadium, people should have such preparations. Ferguson is old. He is already a 70-year-old man. Although he can lead the team to victory, he can never resist the invasion of years!

Yes! The old man sitting on the coach's seat chewing gum, if you don't look carefully, you won't find that his hands trembled slightly when he was excited that day.

It is also a perfect ending to end your brilliant career in such a double crown.

It's just that it came too suddenly. There was no news in advance. Suddenly hearing such a voice made the fans at the scene a little confused.

The media present is not!

After saying goodbye, Manchester United will fight in two rows to see Ferguson off. Giggs shed tears emotionally. Looking at the old man's figure, he may not suddenly realize that Ferguson is really old, and it is time to retreat with glory and everyone's blessings!

Ferguson left behind the glory, the double champion of the Champions League and the Premier League. When he came, Manchester United went down. When the old man left, the honor room was full of all kinds of trophies. He not only made Manchester United stand on the top of football again, but also turned the club the most popular giant in the world, red The spirit of the devil is also deeply branded in the hearts of the fans.

Li Yu stood among the players and saw the old man leave. She was also very uncomfortable. Is it over?

Is this a formal parting? Without talking to the players in advance or saying goodbye, the old man is about to leave?

Li Yu has always been very grateful to Ferguson for his tolerance. They all say that the old man is a hairdryer and has a bad temper! But I haven't really blown anything to Li Yu. In Li Yu's heart, Ferguson is always the stubborn old man who is so eager for victory, and his desire for victory even surpasses every player on the court!

Manchester United's official website officially announced that Ferguson will retire this summer, and the time for the Lord to be in charge of Manchester United has been fixed for 25 years. Counting the number of changes in the top ten giants in Europe, the concept of time in 25 years has suddenly become so great. According to statistics, during the period when Lord was in charge of Manchester United, Real Madrid changed the coach 24 times, Inter Milan changed the coach 19 times, and Chelsea changed the coach 16 times. In addition, Juventus and Bayern have changed their coaches 14 times, AC Milan and Barcelona 12 times, Liverpool 8 times and Arsenal 3 times. Among the top ten giants, only three teams have changed their coaches in single digits.

Among the top ten giants, only Wenger's time to coach the same team is comparable to Ferguson. For Real Madrid, which has the most frequent change of coaches, from 2003 to 2008, the "Galaxy Battleship" has changed nine coaches. During this period, there are many well-known coaches such as Camacho, Rosenberg and Capello. Spanish coach Bosco also became the temporary coach of Real Madrid in 1994, 1996 and 1999. In the past 27 years, Real Madrid has won the La Liga 11 times, won the Spanish King's Cup, 9 won the Spanish Super Cup and won the Champions League 3 times. It was not until Mourinho took over in 2010 that Real Madrid's position was temporarily stabilized. At present, there is no hope for the league to defend its title, and it is still unknown whether the madman can continue to stay next season.

Looking at Inter Milan, he has witnessed 19 famous coaches in the past 27 years. Especially in the Moratti period, since Suarez replaced Bianchi, the frequency of Inter Milan's change of coach has soared. At the same time as the Lord coached the Red Devils, Inter Milan won only six Serie A championships, most of which benefited indirectly from the "telephone door". In addition, Inter also won 4 Italian Cups and 5 Italian Super Cups.

In the Premier League, Chelsea has experienced 16 head coaches in 27 years, most of which are Abu's masterpieces. He fired Ranieri, Mourinho, Grant, Scolari and Ancelotti, and leaving this summer is a forgative conclusion. In 27 years, the Blues have won the league championship three times, reached the FA Cup six times, and won the League Cup and the Charity Shield Cup three times.

In addition, Ferguson officially coached Manchester United in November 1986, when Beckham was only 11 years old, and "King" Cantona was only in his early 20s. In the 1980s, the average age of the "Dutch Three Musketeers" was less than 24 years old, and the average age of the "German Troika" of the same era was only 26.3 years old. In November 1992, Ferguson led the team to win the Premier League title that season, ending the Red Devils' 26-year league championship. That year, the "alien" Ronaldo turned 16 years old, and Real Madrid's best striker Yero was only 23 years old. In May 1999, Manchester United reversed Bayern's championship in stoppage time in the Champions League final and joined the Triple Crown in an epic season. That year, the "nuclear warhead" who just joined Milan was only 23 years old, and Owen, who became famous in the World Cup, was just 20 years old.

Time flies, 25 years are like the clouds in the past. Manchester United has changed from being on the verge of relegation to dominating the Premier League. Manchester United has not changed for 25 years, and Lord Fu witnessed it with us. Perseverance is valuable, especially when a person is from complacent to white-haired. In the Ferguson era, the whole football world has undergone earth-shaking changes. Whether it is the gunman's eight-year itch, Juventus's fall into the "telephone" scandal, or Barcelona's creation of the "cosmic dynasty", or Real Madrid's creation of the first value. In the past 25 years, it has engraved the changes of rich families and abided by the Lord's promise to remain unchanged.

When it comes to Ferguson, what iconic words can you think of? The Daily Mail lists several key words, including "Fucher Time", "Hairdryer", "Ting gum" and so on.

Chewing gum during the game, and spitting at the players in the locker room during the break is called "hair dryer treatment", which have become Ferguson's label. "Fucher Time" refers to Manchester United's habit of scoring key goals in the extra-long stoppage time.

The latest issue of the Sunday Times published a diary from Mrs. Casey Ferguson, but it was not written by Casey, but by Roland White, the columnist of the newspaper. The author wrote this diary in a mocking tone and simulating Casey's tone, connecting many classics from Ferguson's 26-year coaching career into a series of texts, which made readers laugh with British humor.

Today is Alex's first day of retirement. He decided to make breakfast by himself, but it didn't work. When you boil eggs," I told him, "there is no need for a 7-minute time."

The good news is that I finally found my hair dryer. The last time I saw it was 25 years ago, and now it appears on my dresser. Maybe it's always there, but you just turn a blind eye to it. Alex said, "Winger is sometimes the same..."

"Alex! You know I don't like to discuss football at home at all.

I must admit that I have been very worried about how Alex will adapt to life after staying away from Old Trafford, but everything looks good. Look, he was chatting with our gardener Mr. Mourinho early this morning, because they all grow roses. Naturally, there is a topic to talk about, but it sounds a little awkward. I have always liked to plant 4 roses in the back row (indicating that the Lord likes four-back parallel standing). Alex said.

"Listen, I'm a very special gardener (recommposed to Mourinho's nickname specialone, a special one)." Mourinho said unconvincedly, "It's better than any gardener."

"And I like that there is only one rose in front of me (insinuation that the old man likes a single striker)." Alex continued.

"Don't want to be the boss here." Mourinho continued to fight back, "I'm the best gardener in the world. Look, maybe I should work for other employers. After saying this, he turned his head and left.

Because the chewing gum at home was eaten too fast, I went to the supermarket. When I got home, I saw Alex roaring at the phone: "You are really speechless. Should you stand on the left or right? I'm really speechless..."

I was furious and grabbed the receiver from his hand, "Listen!" I said, "I don't want my Alex to be annoyed by football anymore. Football is a thing of the past."

"Oh, I'm not a player," said a trembling voice in the receiver. "My name is Ed Miliband (Note: British leader of the Labour Party, Ferguson is a supporter of the Labour Party)."

Regardless of these British lame jokes, people seem to want to keep Ferguson in their memory.

And another old man, Ferguson's old opponent Wenger, finally opened the conversation and talked to the media about Ferguson's retirement for the first time!

Wenger said, "I must praise Ferguson's incredible achievements, and his coaching career is also fantastic. In general, Ferguson's achievements are perfect. He has won all the honors he can get, while maintaining excellent coherence for many years. Of course, this is a very difficult height to reach.

"It's hard to imagine the loss of Ferguson in English football, but now it has become a fact. Of course, the new manager of Manchester United will fill the vacancy left by Ferguson, and he has the ability to complete his job. For this newcomer, the Manchester United coach is a difficult task.

In terms of business operations, Manchester United is one of the two or three best football clubs in the world, which will lay a solid foundation for the new coach. At the same time, everyone knows that the strength of Manchester United players is very strong, and the team's temperament has been inherited. At the same time, the team also has young people with great potential.

"Manchester United has developed benignly and healthily in recent years, and the situation they are in is also very favorable, which will help the new coach deal with the problems they may encounter. Of course, for Manchester United, the impact of Ferguson's retirement will be extremely far-reaching, because the Jazz once ruled the club for a long time, but now his charm and temperament have suddenly disappeared.

"It is definitely not easy to completely replace such a meritorious coach."

According to the British Daily Mail, Ferguson announced the whole process of retiring. He first choked in the locker room to announce the decision and apologize to the players, then told the coaching staff, and finally announced to all the staff in Carington's canteen that many people were moved to tears.

The next day, Ferguson came to the club early as usual, hurriedly summoned a team of players into the locker room, and briefly and sincerely announced that he would retire after the season. He apologized to the players for announcing his retirement and said that he had hoped to delay the announcement of the decision.

Then he called the coaching team into a conference room and finally announced his retirement decision to all the staff in the canteen. Ferguson emotionally expressed his pride in his dedication to the staff, thanked them for helping him coach at Manchester United for 26 and a half years, and praised his wife Kathy. Some staff members shed tears, especially the old employees who have worked for Manchester United for 30 years, and Fergre himself choked.

He admitted that there would be some changes in the club after he left, but he didn't say who would be unemployed on the training ground. He will participate in the horse race in Chester with the players, but he will not get on the team bus with the players at lunchtime.

FIFA President Blatter praised Ferguson: "It is my honor to present the award to Ferguson at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards Ceremony. Can anyone reproduce his longevity in the top league? The opponent also sent blessings to Ferment. Vieira said: "This is the end of the era of truly great ambassadors. He is not only the ambassador of the Premier League, but also the ambassador of the whole football world. Good luck to Sir Alex Ferguson. Essien, a midfielder on loan at Chelsea, said: "Sir Ferguson is one of the legendary and greatest coaches. Good luck after retirement."

This departure was so sudden. In fact, as early as 2002, Ferguson planned to retire, but under the petition of the club and players, Ferguson chose to continue coaching. In 2004, the 63-year-old Ferguson installed a pacemaker. At that time, Ferguson's health was the focus of attention. Ferguson, who is full of desire for victory, can't escape the claws of the years.

In the 2010/11 season, Manchester United drew 1-1 with Blackburn in the 37th round, thus securing the 20th Premier League championship in the team's history with 77 points ahead of 1 round, surpassing Liverpool's 18-champion record. Twenty-five years ago, Ferguson made a vow to lead Manchester United to surpass Liverpool to become England's first club before retirement. After winning the 19th Premier League title, the Lord finally fulfilled his promise. Today, Manchester United has expanded its achievements and won 20 championships in the Premier League. Liverpool has been sluggish in recent years, and the gap with Manchester United is getting wider and wider. It is wise for the Lord to choose a glorious retirement.
