Chapter 361 Is it in trouble?

When they saw Ferguson stop the training on the training ground and walk out of the first-team training ground, the group of reporters in the press conference room of Manchester United's Carrington training base were suddenly excited.

"Here I come, here I come"

"It's about to start, everyone hurry up and get ready"

"Was it Ferguson himself who opened it?"

"It's him, I saw him coming."

"Everyone, pay attention, cooperate with the questions, don't make a mess."

As the group of reporters hurriedly found their seats and sat down, Ferguson walked into the press conference room accompanied by the club's press officer.

The old Scottish man with a scarlet rosacea on his face was looking at the group of reporters with obvious caution.

After coaching Manchester United for decades, he smelled something unusual.

"Carrington Training Base" Manchester United's press officer smiled and nodded to the reporters present.

"We are holding this routine press conference today to announce the 18-man squad for tomorrow's away game against Wigan Athletic. Sir Alex Ferguson will announce the squad."

As the press officer gestured, applause immediately broke out at the scene.

There was some laughter mixed in with the applause.

This made Ferguson's face darken. Why were these reporters laughing for no reason?

"I will now announce the list of 18 players, Rooney, Hernandez, Welbeck..."

"...Smalling, Ferdinand, De Gea and Amos"

After Ferguson announced the 18-man away roster, applause broke out again.

Amid the applause, Ferguson began to put away the paper with the long list, as if he was about to leave the venue.

In his opinion, every minute he spent with these reporters with ill intentions would increase the danger.

It's better to leave early.

But how could the reporter let him off so easily?

"Sir Ferguson, I have a question." A reporter immediately raised his hand.

The press officer immediately looked at Ferguson, who stopped moving.

"Is it related to the team?" Ferguson's tone was full of caution.

"Yes," the reporter nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, then ask."

But at this time, several other reporters raised their hands.

When the press officer saw that Ferguson had agreed to be interviewed, he immediately signaled everyone to calm down.

"Take your time and ask questions one by one."

The reporter who first asked the question stood up, "Sir Ferguson, Vidic is out due to injury and has not returned to the field yet. I just saw him on the training ground. I believe all Manchester United fans are very concerned about when he can return to the field?"

This is really a question of concern for the team.

"Vidic's injury is not serious anymore, but for the sake of safety, I can't tell you the exact time for now, but I can promise that I will arrange for him to play at the most appropriate time."

This answer is also quite standard.

Immediately another reporter raised his hand.

"Sir Ferguson, Manchester United is currently five points ahead of Manchester City in the Premier League standings, but Manchester City is chasing very aggressively. Mancini has even threatened to reverse Manchester United, while Manchester United has a lot of injuries. What do you think?"

Ferguson thought about it for a moment.

"We have a lot of experience in competing for the league title. Injuries have indeed caused us a lot of trouble, but it is not enough to prevent us from persisting to the end. There are still eight rounds left in the league. We are five points ahead and we will not let our opponents have a chance to overtake."

"But..." Another reporter stood up, "In the 36th round of the league, Manchester United will challenge Manchester City away. Some people say that this game will determine who will win the championship this season."

Ferguson smiled confidently, "In the past two seasons, we have won one and tied one at the City Stadium, remaining unbeaten. I believe it will be the same this time."

As soon as he finished answering, another reporter stood up.

This time, Yu Cui doesn't even need a press officer.

"Sir Alex Ferguson, but in the first Manchester derby of the season, Manchester City thrashed Manchester United 6-1 at Old Trafford."

Ferguson's face changed when he heard this. This was his shame and also his most painful scar.

It was revealed to me in front of me.

It's quite embarrassing, isn't it?

"I want to say that it was an accident, but we won't let the same thing happen a second time."

This time, Ferguson's tone was more serious, showing his anger.

Those who are familiar with Ferguson know that he is on the verge of exploding.

Even the club's press officer noticed that this group of reporters came prepared.

"But Sir Alex Ferguson, in the Champions League group stage half a year ago, Manchester United lost to Basel away when they could have qualified with a draw. Not only did they give up first place in the group, they also lost the right to qualify and were forced to play in the Europa League."

Ferguson's face suddenly turned very ugly.

"In the Europa League knockout round, Manchester United lost to Athletic Bilbao at home. You said it was an accident at the time, but what was the result? Manchester United lost another 1-2 away from home and was eliminated by Athletic Bilbao."

At this point, the reporter revealed a very cruel smile.

"Could it be that the accidents you mentioned happen again and again?"

Ferguson is really angry now

Manchester United has indeed been playing very poorly this season.

Although there was an impressive record of defeating Arsenal, there was also the shame of a crushing defeat to Manchester City.

All in all, things are not going well

When the reporters saw Ferguson getting angry, they were all delighted and immediately added fuel to the fire.

"Sir Ferguson, when we lost to Athletic Bilbao, you said that the Basque Lions were an underestimated team. But the team you mentioned was defeated 4-2 away by Southampton in the Championship last night. What do you think?"

"How did I see it? I didn't see it much."

Ferguson was completely furious. He slammed the table and pointed at the reporter.

"Which newspaper are you from?"

"The Southern Echo"

"Southern ... Southampton Newspaper"

"Yes." The reporter held his head high, chest puffed out, and belly contracted, showing an indescribable courage.

Ferguson got even angrier when he saw him showing off.

"Get out of Carrington, get out of here. From now on, I will no longer accept interviews from your newspapers, and you will never set foot in Carrington or Old Trafford again."

"Just go, who cares"

The reporter seemed to have been prepared. He stood up, said something disdainful, and turned away.

Before leaving, he did not forget to wink at the reporters beside him.

"He leaves, so do we"

"Yes, we have the right to interview him. Why should we chase him away?"

"Ferguson, you are too self-righteous. Do you think you can cover the sky with one hand?"

"I tell you, we're all leaving today"

All the reporters stood up and were about to leave the venue in indignation.

Manchester United's press officer was now panicked.

If we offend these uncrowned kings, who knows what they will write in the newspapers.

"Hey, everyone, everyone, Sir Alex Ferguson didn't mean that"

The press officer immediately rushed out to retain the group of reporters, and secretly winked at Ferguson, as if to say, please, boss, please go first, leave this to me, don't come and make trouble.

"That's not what I mean. What do you mean?"

"Yes, why did he chase us away?"

"If you don't explain clearly, we will sue you"

Ferguson was so angry when he saw this group of reporters.

Damn it, being a head coach and having to endure this kind of humiliation is so frustrating

Suddenly, he snorted angrily and turned away.

"Wow, wow, wow"

"Ferguson is so unlucky. He offended so many reporters for no reason."

"This is funny, you bastard, it would be fine if you won the game, but unfortunately, you lost to Wigan Athletic away from home."

"You deserve to be drowned by the saliva of these reporters"

In a Lagonda Conqueror speeding through the city of Southampton, Yang Huan smiled with glee.

Now, the entire British media is taking advantage of the situation.

It seemed as if they were eager to crush Ferguson and Manchester United to death.

Who made Ferguson offend the reporters?

What’s even worse is that Manchester United was originally five points ahead of Manchester City, but in the end they lost this game and Manchester City won a big victory.

Five points turned into two points. The suspense of the league championship is too great.

"Oh, Lao Wu, do you think I should call Ferguson to express my condolences? If the old man gets high blood pressure and a blood vessel bursts, it will be bad."

Long Wu, who was driving the front seat, laughed but didn't dare to answer.

But in my heart I was saying, Master, isn't this all because of you?

If you go to express your condolences, don't even think about opening your mouth. Just stand in front of Ferguson and I guarantee that he will be so angry that a blood vessel will burst.

"It's a pity that there is no player in Manchester United that I look up to right now, otherwise, I can still stimulate him again"

The feud between Yang Huan and Ferguson has long been known to everyone.

When it comes to Southampton's most hated head coaches, Ferguson and Wenger are definitely in the top three.

Who made these two guys always think they are the police of the Premier League and like to meddle in other people’s affairs?

You also interfered when others gave out bonuses or something. Now you are in trouble, right?

This is like seeing your neighbors quarreling. The couple is arguing about whether to have a boy or a girl, when to have the baby, how to have the baby, and what does it have to do with you?

If you interrupt, aren't you just asking for trouble?

"Oh, it's not so easy to be a social policeman."

As Yang laughed happily, the Lagonda Conqueror drove into Southampton's Staplewood training base.

It was not yet time for morning training and there were still many empty spaces in the player parking lot.

But Bielsa has already directed the coaching staff to arrange the training ground in an orderly manner.

The coaching staff has a hard life, especially being an assistant to Bielsa, which is even harder.

Although the Argentine madman seems to be quite arrogant, he is actually a very organized person.

Before each training session, the coaching staff will hold a meeting to discuss how to layout the court, how to arrange the training programs, etc.

It is said that the training time can be accurate to seconds

After the training, the players all dispersed, but the coaching staff had to stay for another meeting to discuss the gains and losses of the training.

So the Southampton players all have great trust in Bielsa and his team.

The reason is that you can feel the level of this Argentine madman from the training.

"Marcelo"

Yang Huan walked outside the training ground and shouted to Bielsa.

The latter handed the materials in his hand to Martin Hunt, gave him a few instructions, and then walked to the sidelines.

"Master Huan."

"Do you have time to say a few words?" Yang Huan asked solemnly.

Bielsa looked at the training ground behind him, felt that there was no big problem, nodded and walked out.

"What's up?"

"Well, two things, one good and one bad, which one do you want to listen to?"

"Bad things," Bielsa said without hesitation.

This guy's personality is like this

Yang Huan hummed and nodded, "Charlene Lahri, do you remember?"

"Um"

"She is now trying to do a self-media interview program, and she plans to invite you to the first episode."

"Me?" Bielsa was stunned and immediately shook his head, "No, I can't do it"

Being on the show is his biggest headache.

He has a phobia of the camera.

Yang Huan patted his shoulder with a serious face, "There is nothing we can do. The company's management has made a unanimous decision, and I have agreed on your behalf. You have to go whether you want to or not.

Bielsa immediately looked sad.

It's a bit like forcing something to happen.

But soon, Yang Huan's words made him burst into laughter again.
