Manchester United legend

Chapter 44 Signing a New Contract

When Ferguson was still considering the choice between Bart and Jost, he didn't know that his prey, Roy Keane, had been secretly contacted by Blackburn coach Dalglish. Dalglish promised Keane his main position and gave Keane a lucrative contract that was hard to refuse.Keane agrees to move to Blackburn.

When Ferguson learned from a reporter friend that Blackburn coach Dalglish contacted Keane, he immediately drove to Keane's home.Persuade Keane to change his mind and join Manchester United.

The first thing Ferguson said when he saw Keane was: "Roy, with or without you, Manchester United will dominate the country, but with you Manchester United can win in Europe."

Keane heard the words of the Ferguson team, and Ferguson's temptation pointed directly at Keane's inner desire. This quite provocative sentence directly pointed to Keane's inner goal, yes, the European champion.

But Keane's face changed from excitement to frustration, Ferguson could see clearly, Ferguson knew he missed Keane.

Keane regretted that he needed money too much. The Keane family was a big family. It happened that Keane’s family moved from Ireland to the UK. Keane needed money to settle his family.

Keane did not sign a contract with Manchester United again, but Dalglish came to Keane at the right time with a lucrative contract that was hard to refuse. Keane signed a contract with Blackburn for his own family.Ferguson just missed Keane.

Keane expressed hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with Ferguson.

Ferguson went crazy because of Keane's incident. He scolded Manchester United's signing officials in front of Edwards, saying that he let go of Manchester United's future midfielder.Steal away what should have been a Manchester United player.

Dalglish responded that Ferguson had taken the wrong medicine, it was unreasonable!He should reflect on himself.

The two of you and I attacked each other in the newspapers until the start of the season.

The new season is about to begin in a blink of an eye, and all the teams are actively preparing for the competition. Since England successfully won the right to host the 1996 European Championship final, the reconstruction and repair work of the stadium is gradually carried out.This has caused teams such as Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool to expand their stadiums and increase seats.

Another humble decision by the Premier League changed the business landscape of football for decades to come.At the beginning of this season, the league committee asked the teams to determine the jersey numbers of the players and fix them, and required the players' names to be printed on the jerseys-such a decision was naturally for the convenience of TV broadcasting.

For example, Cantona wears the No. 7 jersey at Manchester United. If Cantona does not play in this game, others can also wear the No. 7 jersey.

Now that the new regulations come down, players can only change their numbers until the next season starts, only after they have ordered their numbers.The number you choose will stay with you for a season.

This means that players have their own unique numbers.Among the 26 players in the first team, Jost still chose the No. 25 jersey of last season.

This summer, in addition to Keane's transfer, which caused the two coaches of Manchester United and Blackburn, the former superstar Beardsley transferred to the newly upgraded "Magpies"-Newcastle United.

In addition to these, the superstars of the Premier League include Sheringham and the almost outdated Rush, as well as the shining star Shearer.He was in Dalglish's Blackburn team.Of course, there are tough guys like Adams and Pierce in the Premier League.

And the old strong team Liverpool began to emerge a talented shooter, he was affectionately called "King" by Liverpool fans-he was Robbie Fowler.Having become famous at a young age, he officially got the chance to enter the first team.Joining him in Liverpool's first lineup was his friend Mike Malaman.

Ferguson's opponents are famous coaches such as Arsenal's Graham and Blackburn's Dalglish. As for Liverpool, it is still coached by Evans.

Of course, Keegan and his Magpies are also determined to hit the championship.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for Manchester United to return to the team. Jost has been practicing boxing with Lewis this holiday, and now the two are good friends who talk about everything.

Today is the day to return to the team. In the dressing room of Manchester United, the old players headed by Schmeichel played a prank on Scholes, who had just entered the first team, and asked him to "Jerk off!"

At this time, Jost just entered the locker room, and several Manchester United players wanted to bring Jost with him.Last season, when Jost came to the first team, there was no cup of their tricks and pranks, so I wanted to make up for Jost.

When Lee Sharpe and Schmeichel walked towards Jost, they found that Jost was stronger than before, with explosive power in his body.When Jost faced Lee Sharp and the others, there was almost no smile, and his frozen face was full of murderous aura.

This made these men dare not act rashly, and then they remembered Robson's words. Robson told them not to mess with Jost. Jost had been practicing boxing with Lewis throughout the holiday.

Lee Sharp wanted to make some jokes, Jost was the one who practiced boxing with boxing champion Lewis, if there was a conflict, maybe we were not enough for Jost to practice boxing.

The young Jost killed everyone with sharp eyes, and there was an embarrassing silence on the scene.

Later, Lee Sharp, who was still fearless and fearless, broke the ice. He chatted up Jost, "Well... are you here to directly KO us, or come to play with us?"

"I'm willing to play football, but I'm willing to fight!" Jost said.

Lee Sharp laughed: "Are you kidding, how could we fight with you, of course it's for practice."

After a while Robson found Jost and said: "The boss is going to give you a professional contract. What do you want? If you feel that you can't communicate with the boss, I can negotiate a contract for you. This is the tradition of Manchester United. Young players dare not face Ferguson. They will ask old players to help with the contract. Do you need me to help you?"

Jost: "No, thank you Brian, I can take care of this."

Robson: "Well, I wish you success and a satisfactory contract."

Jost knocked on the door and entered Ferguson Road's office. Ferguson saw Jost and said, "Paul! Are you here to negotiate a contract with me?"

Jost nodded, Ferguson told Jost to sit down, opened the drawer from the desk, took out a contract and handed it to Jost.

Ferguson: "Do you have an agent or a lawyer? If so, it's best to let them talk about it?"

Jost shook his head, Jost had no money to hire these people.

Ferguson went on to say: "Well, since you don't have one, I'll explain to you later, this is a professional contract prepared by Manchester United for you, you can see what the requirements are.

Jost flipped through the contract, and saw that Jost would receive a salary of £2500 per week for four years, and a signing fee of £2.

Jost took a rough look and said, "Okay, no problem, I'm willing to sign the contract."

Ferguson smiled: "Very well, I'll ask a staff member to take a photo of you when you sign the contract. Maybe in the future, when you become the best player in England, it will be of great commemorative significance."

Ferguson found the staff and took a photo of Jost when he signed the contract. In the photo, Jost was wearing Manchester United's sportswear and signed the contract meticulously. Ferguson was also sitting next to Jost in his training uniform. This was the first photo of the two of them.

After signing the contract, Ferguson said to Jost: "Perform well during the pre-season training and try to get more opportunities to play. I will pay attention to you."

Because of Ferguson's words, we saw a Jost who completely gave up rest during summer training, trained hard, and took the initiative to train more.His hard training was soon felt by everyone.

Lee Sharp asked Jost: "Are you going to fight for the main position this season?"

Jost ignored him at all, but continued to practice hard.

Later, Cantona recalled why Jost was successful and said, "Jost is the first person I have asked to train with me since I joined Manchester United for more than two years. He can easily complete all the training items. He is an active and responsible guy."

In the offensive and defensive confrontation training, Cantona had a headache for Jost, "This guy is really hard enough after the start of this season. I don't know if he started to change after learning boxing in the summer. His entanglement with you is almost like a shadow. To be honest, I think the best thing is that we have become teammates, not opponents, although I should have defeated him in the previous training."

Manchester United, who did not get Keane, decided not to add manpower, and Ferguson has begun to set his sights on the young people in the reserve team.

The summer vacation has passed quickly, and Ferguson and Kidd started the full, precise and strict pre-season training for the players.This summer, the coaching staff, medical security, scientific and technical personnel and staff at the Carrington base have become more numerous, and the training techniques and methods have become more advanced.

In the player's weight check, Lee Sharp was fined by Ferguson because he was overweight. Ferguson asked him to reduce to the standard weight at the beginning of the season.otherwise don't even think about playing

Another overweight is Pallister, but he was not fined by Ferguson, because it was allowed by Ferguson. He hoped that Pallister would become bigger and not suffer in the confrontation.

That led to Lee Sharp yelling that it wasn't fair, and Pallister said: "You can keep fattening, as long as you can run back and forth on the sidewalk."

Lee Sharp thought about it and decided to lose weight obediently.

After Jost took over the training plan given to him by the coaching staff, he didn't take it seriously.But when he really started training with Cantona, Pallister, Bruce, and Irwin, Jost didn't know what to compare with here.I was completely scumbag in the preseason training of the youth team.

If Manchester United's first team is a barracks, then Jost's original youth team is a playground.

Manchester United's teammates usually seem to be in a good relationship, talking and laughing often together.

But everyone knows that Manchester United has a lot of good players and there is fierce competition here at all times.

So when it comes to training and practice games, they will immediately go to work with real swords and guns.

The fists and kicks that I saw in Carrington, and the scenes of killing people on their backs in the practice matches were much more than in the official games.The intensity and quality of training at the beginning of the season are unprecedented for players.

The training program is very interesting, and the schedule is also very tight, the players have no free time at all.
