my name is ferguson

() In the Stanton Park office building, Mourinho sat on the sofa in Richard's office and sipped coffee. Opposite him was Richard who had just returned from the dust.

Mourinho looked at Li Cha with a serious face and said: "Li Cha, I remember that I did you a favor, so now I want you to pay me back this favor, and I want to buy—— Thiago? watt."

"what?"

Li Cha looked at Mourinho, and he suddenly felt as if the entire giants in England were going to attack his players... But this situation is also normal, the performance of Burleigh players in the League Cup has proved that they are capable Based in the Premier League, now that Burleigh is still in the British Championship, if he doesn't take advantage of his low value to make a move at this time, should he wait for Burleigh to be promoted to the Premier League and buy players whose value has doubled several times?

"My English is not standard? Why do I think it is more standard than the England coach? Richard, I mean Thiago? Silva, a name, the name of your players. I want to buy him and take him to Stamford Bridge, you make a price." Mourinho said word by word.

Chelsea want Thiago?Silva?

Is Mourinho crazy, or is it that Abramovich is full and has nothing to do?This season Chelsea has three central defender combinations, Terry, Carvalho, Gallas, especially Terry and Gallas, the two of them once teamed up to create a record of 16 games without conceding a goal!If such a combination needs to buy a central defender, wouldn't his Burleigh be miserable beyond description?

"Why?" Li Cha asked incomprehension.

Mourinho smiled and said: "Li Cha, you are very strange. When other European clubs heard that Chelsea wanted to buy someone, the first thing they said was 'how much can you pay' or answered 'we don't sell'. It’s the first time I’ve heard someone ask me why I want to buy someone... I don’t think I need to answer you.”

Richard remembered, in the 06-07 season, which is the next season, will Chelsea buy Ashley?Cole, Wenger asked Chelsea for Gallas as a bonus when he couldn't stop Cole from leaving. As a result, the transfer was successful with Gallas + £500 million. At that time, Gallas was worth as much as 2000 million!Since then, Chelsea's left side has flourished, but the central defender has become a short board. It is impossible for Chelsea to rely on Terry and Carvalho for a whole season. At this time, Mourinho bought the Brazilian central defender. Guard Alex.According to Chelsea's transfer style, they are unlikely to buy Alex. First of all, Alex's name is not worthy of Chelsea. Secondly, Alex is not the best candidate, not even a top central defender, just first-class!

But Chelsea still bought it, because no team would sell their central defender, which would be equivalent to rebuilding the defense line. Who would risk losing the club's achievements to make this kind of money?Therefore, Chelsea, who were in short supply of central defenders, chose Alex, which gave the Brazilian the opportunity to log into the giants, and then transferred to Paris Saint-Germain.

It's different now. Burleigh has emerged from England. They have won the League Cup for two consecutive years with a group of young guards, and even defeated Chelsea and Manchester United to win the championship last year!This shows that Burleigh's players are gradually maturing. People who buy Burleigh don't have to think about whether they can adapt to the English style. Richard has helped them verify this point. This investment is worthwhile.

As far as Richard knows, Chelsea bought Ashley?Cole didn't follow the normal transfer procedure, contact Ashley first?Cole's situation was discovered by Wenger, and Wenger angrily wanted to sue Chelsea...Could it be that Chelsea has already started contacting Ashley?Cole?And Wenger has proposed an exchange condition, which is better than the transaction should be completed now?

"Not for sale." Li Cha shook his head and said, "We only have five central defenders. You know, Burleigh will be playing in the UEFA Cup this season. It is impossible for me to sell my central defender at this time. .”

Mourinho glanced at Li Cha mysteriously, twitched his lips slightly and said, "Don't you ask how much we plan to pay?"

Li Cha didn't speak, but shook his head slowly.

"Li Cha, do you know what you look like? It's like an old man who treats football players like his own son and never lets his children go on a long journey. You are simply more Moratti than Moratti!"

Li Cha smiled bitterly and said with his mouth twisted: "Thank you for the compliment."

"Okay, then let's talk about another issue..."

Before Mourinho could finish speaking, Li Cha hurriedly said: "Let me declare first that the transfer work of the Burleigh Club has ended. If you really fancy someone, I'm sorry, please come early next season."

"Can you do me another favor? Richard, I want to borrow your scouting system to help me recommend some players who have proven themselves. Chelsea need a wide player and a central defender."

Richard looked at Mourinho and said, "Why did you choose Burleigh? There are many players in football who meet your transfer requirements..."

"Because Chelsea's scouting system has never brought me some lists that meet the needs of the lineup, they will push me a bunch of big names every season according to Abramovich's request, and these big names I don't need at all! Those are Abramovich's people , They will only recommend players for Abramovich’s preferences, not Mourinho’s scouts.” Mourinho sighed and said: “Actually, I really want to ask you, how did you manage to make Ferguson Mr. is not involved in your management work? Can you help me recommend players and at the same time give me the way to get along with the boss?"

Being able to say these words to himself, Richard felt that Mourinho already regarded him as a friend, otherwise how could he confide in himself?

Regardless of whether he is an opponent in the future, Li Cha still admires Mourinho very much, and he is willing to become friends with him.

"It's inconvenient for me to talk too much about the Chelsea club, but I think Abramovich is very similar to you. Both of you are very strong in control... As for how to get along with the boss, I'm sorry, I really don't have much experience. , because Mr. Alex Ferguson has never participated in my management work." Li Cha pondered for a while and replied: "I don't think I need to borrow you from Burleigh's scouting system, but I can help you as a friend. Please do me a favor and recommend two candidates for you."

"Who?"

"Stam, if you just want a transition centre-back, no one is better for England than Stam, he proved himself at Manchester United, now plays for AC Milan, made 17 appearances last season and is still My own state, and the most important thing is that the transfer is easy to operate." Li Cha remembered that Stam gradually faded out of people's sight after he transferred to Eindhoven in the 06-07 season. There is absolutely no problem playing as a substitute in the state of the year.

The key point is that Stam meets Richard's recommendation criteria, neither strengthening Chelsea's rear strength nor pitting Mourinho. As he said, Stam definitely meets all the conditions for a transitional central defender .

"If you want wide players, I recommend that you consider Portuguese players. You are more familiar with Portugal than I am, and it is easier to operate the transfer..."

Mourinho's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he showed the annoyance of blaming himself, took a deep breath and said: "Thank you Richard, I have been entangled in some things recently and forgot a lot of things, and I have a self The boss who thinks he knows football well...he always thinks that he is more suitable for the position of head coach than me...If one day you need anything from me, call me anytime."

After Mourinho left, Li Cha didn't tell him who to buy. Of course, Li Cha didn't expect that Mourinho would plant a bomb for himself in this conversation, which would directly lead to...

……

The first round of the English Championship game came as scheduled. Li Cha, who was busy, led the players to challenge Coventry at the Ricoh Stadium. This was Burleigh’s first British Championship match. Li Cha's order to win the game has already ignited the flames of war.

In the 36th minute of the game, Nasri was highlighted in the spring tactics. He received the ball from the right side and rushed into the penalty area close to the baseline. Please refer to Berbatov's classic performance at Manchester United for yourself), throwing off the opponent's full-back along the baseline and rushing directly to the goalkeeper, scoring the ball between the goalkeeper's legs.

1: 0!

Immediately after Burleigh's spring tactics began to shrink rapidly, Coventry failed to create any good opportunities after the entire first half of the effort. Keane became the focus again in the first half of the game. Ni can even just intercept the high-altitude ball, and Keane will take care of everything behind him.

In the second half, Coventry continued to attack Burleigh at home after receiving the coach's instructions. Adler, who was born in 1985, made a low-level mistake under the opponent's long-range shot. He slapped the saved football at the opponent's striker's feet... ...1:1.

"Still not mature enough." Li Cha looked at Adler and felt a little sorry for this ball. After all, Adler is only 20 years old this year, and it is normal to make such low-level mistakes. What Adler needs now is to accumulate a lot of experience in the game , You must know that good goalkeepers are made by relying on a large number of games!

In the 77th minute of the second half, Di Natale, who was supposed to control the rhythm, passed the ball to Van Persie. The rhythm of the game was controlled by Robin. , Mata kicked from the edge of the small penalty area, and the football hit the far corner post and bounced into the net!

In the first game of the British Championship, Burleigh won Coventry 2:1 with difficulty. This game told Richard and all Burleigh players that the British Championship is more than one level higher than the League One.

……

Immediately after the second round of the UEFA Cup qualifying round came, Burleigh went to Greece, tied 1:1 at home in Thessaloniki, and successfully advanced to the UEFA Cup group stage with a total score of 4:1.

When Richard returned to England from Greece, Chelsea sent out heavy news one after another. Stam joined Chelsea with a worth of 700 million; Figo stepped into Stamford Bridge with a worth of 1000 million!

It’s really a big deal. The 33-year-old Stam and the 33-year-old Figo made Chelsea pay 1700 million transfer fees...but this is very in line with Abramovich’s style. He never cares about whether he needs or is worth the price when buying a star , It just depends on whether this person is famous enough.

The next blockbuster transfer made Richard a little bit blindsided, Mourinho actually bought Quaresma from Porto for 3000 million!

When Li Cha saw the transfer news, he wanted to laugh but couldn't: "Mourinho, I'm not cheating on you, I want you to go to Portugal to bring back Nani, who has just made a name for himself." ...It seems that your eyes are the same as Abramovich, only paying attention to the players who have already shined, if Quaresma has any problems at Chelsea..."

beep

When Li Cha picked up the phone, Mourinho's voice came from the other end of the phone: "I must thank you again, Li Cha, you woke me up, Quaresma is really important to Chelsea, he can fully Make up for the gap on the wing when Duff lacks form."

Li Cha suddenly remembered a sentence, the sentence Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei said on the Spring Festival Gala sketch: "Thank you!"

"Jose, let's not say thank you first, maybe I really need your help with something."
