Football: The strongest center in history

Chapter XXI Ferguson’s Concern, Special Genius Clause

Manchester.

The office building at Carrington Training Base.

An office on the top floor overlooking the entire training ground belonged to Sir Alex Ferguson, the helmsman of the Red Empire.

On the walls of this spacious office, there is a huge electronic LCD screen.

At the moment, Ferguson is watching Ronaldo’s footage with his assistant Mike Ferran.

“How’s it going, man?”

Ferguson asked, touching his chin.

As the most powerful football coach in the world today, Ferguson is also a little unsure now.

He has already made up his mind that as soon as he wins another Premier League title, he will retire!

However, the environment in the Premier League has now changed very significantly.

The two-man turn between Manchester United and Arsenal, or the era when Manchester United dominated the Premier League, is long gone.

Now in the Premier League, the atmosphere of commercialization is even stronger.

With the huge commercial influence of the Premier League, many teams have made good profits and have begun to upgrade their squads.

Teams such as Everton and Tottenham have also begun to have a sufficient squad.

Of course, these two teams are not a threat to Manchester United today.

The real henchman is Chelsea, it’s Manchester City!

These two teams received capital from Russian tycoons and Middle Eastern tycoons respectively.

Especially Chelsea!

In recent years, it is not Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal that can compete with Manchester United more.

It’s Chelsea!

This is the first to open the golden era of the Premier League.

Plus there is another Manchester City that seems to be more well-funded.

Manchester United are now under increasing pressure.

To retire with another Premier League title, Ferguson must find a way to make his team’s attacking line-up stronger.

In the past two years, the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo has had a great impact on Manchester United.

Now Rooney, the attacking core that the team relies on, is also making a raise.

Ferguson knew he had to find someone who could put Rooney under pressure and, at the very least, take on the team’s goal responsibility when Rooney wasn’t available.

This man, he is very optimistic about Arsenal striker Robin van Persie.

It’s just that the captain who wants to buy Arsenal, especially the people who want to buy Arsenal, at least… This season is probably difficult.

Van Persie has a two-year contract left.

If the contract is renewed this season, then basically Manchester United want to buy Van Persie, there is little hope.

Therefore, Ferguson can only expect Van Persie not to renew his contract this season, and then throw money at Van Persie to buy it from Arsenal with one year left on his contract.

Merely…. Van Persie is good.

But he has also come up with age.

For Van Persie, who is almost thirty years old, Manchester United will not need a few years.

In the end, you have to look for a center that can be used for a long time.

In recent seasons, Welbeck’s performance, even Ferguson has lost some confidence.

This black boy is probably not the answer to Manchester United’s striker.

“The body is strong! The impact is strong!! The header is outstanding! Merely…. This footwork technique is so bad that if he’s our player, he can only be a high school striker backup at best, and send in with a header to top when he can’t open the situation. ”

MacPhelan said sharply.

Modern football tactics demand more and more versatility from the center.

In addition to being responsible for scoring goals in the box, the center must also withdraw to get the ball, respond to the attack, and even pull the side to catch the ball to launch an attack if necessary.

A center forward like Ronaldo, who relies purely on impact and headers, is becoming less and less common in modern football. 、

“You’re right, man.”

Ferguson smiled.

“But you overlooked the point, he’s only eighteen.”

“Eighteen is old enough, I don’t think his future foot skills will be much better.”

McFerran shook his head and said.

“No, no, no, I don’t expect his foot technique to be any better, I mean… He’s only 18 years old, his header is so good, I think his impact ability can reach world-class in the future! ”

Ferguson said.

McFerran was stunned.

Ferguson’s words made him pause!

Yes, who said that you must have good skills under your feet?

If there is a central striker, he can score goals with impact and headers alone, scoring more than thirty goals in a season.

Who cares if the technology under his feet is not good?

Football, in the final analysis, depends on the final goal.

No matter how you got in!

The side that scores more goals wins.

“Let people stare at this kid, observe for a while longer, and if appropriate, Winter Window makes an offer to bring him to Manchester!”

Ferguson clapped the final decision.

“This kid looks like an Oriental, and when the time comes, the labor certification…”

“I’ll give him a special genius clause!”

Ferguson said with a wave of his hand.

Any non-EU player who wants to play in the Premier League will run into the issue of labour certification.

According to the UK Department of Labour, non-EU players brought in by English clubs must play in 75% of the country’s international A matches in the past year, and the country’s FIFA ranking must be in the top 64.

Ronaldo is not an international and the Celestial Empire is ranked 80th in the world.

Neither is met.

Therefore, Ronaldo wants to play in the Premier League and can only apply through the “special talent clause”.

Alex Ferguson as Manchester United’s manager, an iconic figure throughout the Premier League.

He said that Ronado was a special genius.

Naronado is a special genius.

This clause will definitely be adopted.

MacFerran’s eyes on Ronaldo were a little cautious.

However, his boss said so, and he did not refute it.

Because, he believed in Ferguson.

It’s like Manchester United’s trust in Alex Ferguson.
