Chapter 728 Old Man, We Miss You So Much!
When the Belgian referee Frank de Blakely blew the whistle for the end of the game, Ferguson sat in front of the coach of the visiting team, leaning forward slightly, his eyes fixed on the field.

Those cloudy old eyes seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, making it unclear what he was thinking at this moment.

I don't know how long the chewing gum in his mouth has been, and the taste is gone after chewing, but he seems to have forgotten to spit it out.

He just sat there quietly, watching, silent.

Assistants Mike Phelan and René Meulensteen both stepped out to comfort the players.

The knockout round of the Champions League is one of the cruelest competition systems in the world. Although it has two rounds, the pain caused by the loss to the players is not lost to those single-round cup matches, not even to the European Cup or even the World Cup.

Because every team that has come here has experienced a season, dozens of games of hard work, and even several seasons of adjustment and accumulation to be able to stand on this stage.

Failure, to them, is like the sky falling.

At this moment, Ferguson can definitely understand the mood of the players, because he is as frustrated as them, even more frustrated than them.

This frustration makes them wonder if all the efforts they have made in the past season are still meaningful?

He has never been a satisfied, ambitious man!

When he couldn't win the Champions League, he was thinking that winning a Champions League would complete his coaching career.

But when he won the Triple Crown, he was still not satisfied, and he began to feel that he should get the second one.

So, he began to toss and reform, and began to train a group of young players with more fighting spirit and more aggressiveness to replace those accomplished stars.

Finally got the second one, but he was still not satisfied, he wanted to get another one.

So he said that if he wins another Champions League, he will retire.

Even God doesn't know, after he gets the third one, will he still want to get the fourth one?Fifth?

He was the type of person who was not easily fed, easily satisfied.

This is true in professional life, and it is still true in coaching career.

This sense of dissatisfaction has allowed him to keep improving and improve himself in the past so many years.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with it!
At best, he worked hard for a season like now, but in the end the league was reversed by Ancelotti, and the Champions League was eliminated by Bayern, which made him full of anger.

He really wanted to rush out of the field, reprimand those players, and ask them, what the hell was playing in the game?

Ask them, Su Dong is in the final stage of the competition, and he can still run a long distance of 50 meters, how about you?

But thousands of words, thousands of thoughts, finally converged into a sigh.

He is impulsive, irritable, easy to boss, but he is not stupid!

At this moment, his mood is more depressed and sad than all Manchester United players on and off the field.

Don't look at Raphael crying, but he probably forgot about it as soon as he turned around, because he was still young; don't look at Gary Neville being sad, but he will soon forget about it, because he is already satisfied with what he has achieved.

There were others, all the Manchester United players, whose hunger had been eroded by high wages and fame, and it became easy to be content with the status quo.

this is normal phenomenon.

Because few people can always be full of hunger like Su Dong, like Cristiano Ronaldo.

Sometimes, Ferguson even wondered, if Su Dong didn't have Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, and didn't experience the turmoil of Barcelona's transfer to Bayern, would he still be able to maintain this self-discipline?

He has already earned enough money, he probably has already embraced his beautiful girlfriend who is famous all over the world, and traveled around the world chicly, right?

If there is no Sudong, can Cristiano Ronaldo be so crazy in training?

And Messi, hasn't he been chasing Su Dong?
He just hasn't achieved his goal yet, and he hasn't been satisfied yet. When he is satisfied, maybe he will slack off.

This is human nature!
Like Su Dong, like Cristiano Ronaldo, like Messi, that is inhuman!
This is not a derogatory term.

Because, Ferguson felt that he was also a non-human being.

He is never satisfied, always hungry.

Sitting in the coaching bench of the visiting team, watching the Manchester United players walking off the pitch in frustration, and watching the Bayern carnival, Ferguson took a deep breath and swept away all the frustration in his heart.

He stood up, let out a heavy breath, and at the same time let out all the negative emotions in his heart.

What's so frustrating about that?

Isn't that just losing?

Has he experienced too few losses in his life?
He has lost in the Champions League final, let alone the knockout round?

……

Ferguson walked out of the coaching bench of the visiting team, hugged the Manchester United players one by one, comforted and encouraged them, and sent them back to the player tunnel, which is what he should do as a head coach.

If you lose, you lose, and people have to look forward.

After sending off the Manchester United players, Ferguson saw Heynckes high-fiving and embracing Su Dong not far away. He immediately took another deep breath to calm himself down, let himself show a polite smile, and greeted him.

"Congratulations!" Ferguson held out his hand towards Heynckes.

Heynckes quickly took Ferguson's hand, "Thank you."

Ferguson turned his head to look at Su Dong, stretched out his hand, and smiled.

Su Dong quickly stretched out his hands and held the hand offered by Ferguson. After clenching it tightly, he felt a little covering his hands.

"Do you know? I had already planned to retire after winning the championship this season, but you..." Ferguson stared at Su Dong and paused for three or four seconds, "Your goal abruptly canceled my retirement plan."

When Su Dong heard it, he immediately laughed, "Really? This is great news."

Ferguson was stunned and wanted to catch Su Dong and knock him on the head, but it was too high to hit him.

how do you talk
I lost the game, you said it was great news?

"I mean, we can continue to see you on the football field, which is definitely good news that fans all over the world are craving, because we can't adapt, the man who stands in the position of Manchester United manager is not you!"

In the end, Su Dong was sincere from the heart, and both Ferguson and Heynckes could feel it.

This is a tribute to Ferguson!
Well, seeing that you can talk, I won't knock your head off.

"Just wait, I will definitely be back!"

After saying a harsh word, Ferguson patted Su Dong on the shoulder, turned and left.

Behind him, Su Dong was a little amused.

Why does this sound so familiar?
"Do you believe he really intends to retire?" Heynckes asked as he stood beside Su Dong, looking at Ferguson's back.

Su Dong shook his head, "It's very realistic and full of emotion, but I don't believe a single word."

Heynckes nodded, "That's right, I don't believe it either, this old man is very bad."

Su Dong turned his head, looked at the blushing Heynckes, and then thought of the red-nosed Scottish old man, feeling happy.

"Yes, same as you."

Heynckes was taken aback for a moment, and immediately reacted.

Fuck, who are you scolding?

By the time he wanted to use his German shadowless kick when he played football back then, Su Dong had already run away.

"Run? If you are capable, don't come to training tomorrow, and see if I don't kill you!" Heynckes also said harshly.

Su Dong waved his hand at him from a distance, and he didn't believe a word of Heynckes' harsh words.

The old man was as bad as Ferguson.

But whether what Ferguson said is true or not, he is really happy to hear that he is still in charge.

Although he has never played under Ferguson, although he has not had much contact with Ferguson, he admires Ferguson from the bottom of his heart.

He really couldn't imagine what kind of disaster it would be if Manchester United lost Ferguson one day?
If European football and world football lose Ferguson, it will definitely be a lot less interesting.

And he should have called Ferguson and told him.

Old man, we miss you so much!
…………

…………

Manchester United finally fell at the Allianz Arena!
Su Dong scored again!

None of this is big news. As early as the end of the first leg, after Manchester United suffered a [-]-[-] home defeat by Bayern, everyone basically concluded that it would be difficult for Manchester United to reverse at the Allianz Arena.

Losing one to two in the away game was also within everyone's expectations.

The real news came in the post-match press conference.

In front of many media from all over the world, Ferguson publicly announced that he would postpone his retirement plan.

As early as a few years ago, he repeatedly emphasized one thing, he will not work at Manchester United until the age of 70, his retirement time is in [-], and his contract renewal with Manchester United has not been carried out for a long time.

Many media and fans are speculating that if Manchester United wins the Triple Crown this season, Ferguson will retire bravely.

But now, Manchester United's league has been reversed by Chelsea, the Champions League has been eliminated, and the Triple Crown is no longer possible.

Ferguson said that this loss made him feel very painful, but at the same time he felt very unwilling. He didn't want to leave professional football with such regrets, so he still wanted to stay at Manchester United to coach.

He hopes that in the next two or three years, he will lead this Manchester United team to a third revival and win the third Champions League.

"After returning to Manchester, I will have a good talk with the management about this matter and make a detailed plan for the new season."

This undoubtedly made fans all over the world cheer for it.

All the media and fans put it on the headlines one after another to highlight Ferguson's status and influence in world football.

Su Dong also made an exception in an interview with the media after the game, publicly expressing his support for Ferguson to stay in office.

"I know that his desire and enthusiasm are as strong as ever, and I hope he can continue to coach because he is one of the most unique managers in the world."

Su Dong said that every time he saw Ferguson, he felt that he should consider becoming a head coach in the future.

"A manager like Sir Alex Ferguson!"

……

News of Ferguson's postponement of his retirement plans quickly spread around the world.

Many star legends, including Beckenbauer, have come forward to welcome the news.

Even in the Premier League, many head coaches, including Guardiola, Ancelotti, Benitez, and even Wenger, expressed their support for Ferguson's decision.

Although, this is not good news for the Premier League team.
