"Tony, it's me, Alex!"

"Hello, Sir Ferguson!"

Tony Pulis smiled and was polite with Ferguson.

He has a very good relationship with Ferguson. At the very least, they will invite their opponents to their head coach's office for a drink after every game, whether it is home or away.

And as one of the few coaches in England who can be regarded by Ferguson, Tony Pulis has taken advantage of Ferguson's Manchester United. For example, the current Stoke City captain Shawcross is from Manchester United.

Shawcross failed to play at Manchester United, but he was a veritable defensive star and attracted the attention of many teams.

As a result, Tony Pulis relied on a good relationship with Ferguson, used the method of renting first and then buying out, and won Shawcross, and even if Shawcross performed quite well in Stoke, the transfer fee Only one million pounds.

Therefore, sometimes, there is no need for midstream and downstream teams to compete financially with top teams.

Just follow behind the top teams in silence, picking up their wealth, and it is enough to eat and drink.

This is true for Manchester United, but not also for Real Madrid and Barcelona?

Robben, Sneijder, Van der Vaart, Huntelaar, Ibrahimovic...

How many teams have benefited?

It is precisely because of the good relationship that Tony Pulis knows very well what Ferguson means at this time.

"Jazz, if I guessed correctly, you did it for a make-up match?"

Tony Pulis's tone was as calm as ever, but the expression on his face was full of jokes.

If it was in the past, he couldn't believe it if he was killed, Ferguson would even take the initiative to ask for his help!

You know, before, when did you not go to Ferguson for help?

But now, the godfather of the dignified Red Devils Manchester United is so embarrassed by the saints that he even has to stoop to ask for his help. Thinking about it, I feel enjoyable, and he feels high-spirited!

Ferguson over the phone is obviously a little bit ashamed to speak, but there is no way. The situation is beyond Manchester United's control. The Red Devils have lost too many points and have lost the initiative to win the league.

Whether to win or not depends on the result of this make-up match!

As long as Stoke City draws Southampton away, Manchester United's title will be in hand!

"Tony, I know, you have always been good at defensively, and I also believe that you will definitely not disappoint us all this time, what do you say?" Ferguson said tactfully on the phone.

In fact, his subtext is, Tony, you must give play to your excellent defensive tradition over the past years, even if you can't beat Southampton away, then please tie them and contribute to our Manchester United's championship!

"Jazz, I believe you are also very clear that Southampton's offensive ability, let alone the Premier League, is second to none, even in Europe, it is also top!"

Tony Pulis obviously didn't dare to immediately agree.

"I can only guarantee that I will do my best!"

This is already the highest promise Tony Pulis can give.

Just kidding, Southampton’s offensive power this season is so strong, with Ibrahimović, Neymar and Gareth Bale’s front court trident, each of these three players scored two goals and assisted The level of digits.

Also, a Vidal in midfielder also scored in double digits.

With such an attack lineup, who would dare to say that he would be able to stop it?

Ferguson is also very clear that the other party must promise, it is difficult for a strong man.

"Tony, I know, you are not having a good time in Stoke right now. I know that several mid-level Premier League teams are considering changing coaches. If you are interested, I can recommend it for you."

This can be regarded as a big cake thrown by Ferguson.

"As for Southampton, facing such a team, we must do everything possible to suppress their midfield and force Ibrahimovic to leave the penalty area. Neymar on the left has to be targeted."

"Gareth Bale on the right, although he switched to Southampton? He was forced to sculpt his skills, but if he wants to play the biggest threat, he still has to sprint and cut into the penalty area."

"As long as your defense can make arrangements for these points, I believe that there is great hope for preventing Southampton from scoring!"

It is Ferguson who said so much, but only to say that there is great hope.

After all, Southampton's offensive ability is too strong, and too comprehensive.

Neymar's pass control belt on the left is at the level of a superstar. The impact and speed of Gareth Bale on the right, as well as the greatly improved scoring ability this season, make everyone feel scared.

In addition, Ibrahimović, who is stable in the middle of one opponent and two, is stable.

Let me ask, who can stop this attacking lineup in Southampton?

Whether you want to play high or low, no matter what defensive strategy you adopt, the Saints have a way to deal with it.

Especially after introducing Modric this season and forming a double midfielder with Tony Cross, the combination of this technical double midfielder made the entire Premier League feel amazing and tremble.

They are the engines of Southampton, constantly supplying power for the previous super attack combination.

So, regardless of what Ferguson said, it sounds very targeted. In fact, how many teams can do it?

Few!

"Sir, please rest assured, we will do our best to attack Southampton!"

Tony Pulis once again solemnly gave his promise.

Because he knew very well that Ferguson was about to retire.

If he fails to win the league championship again this season, Ferguson will inevitably leave professional football empty-handed and with great regrets. This is a great humiliation to the proud Ferguson!

"Then...please!" Ferguson had to say in a low voice.

Tony Pulis hurriedly replied: "You are too polite, Sir!"

…………

…………

No third person knew about this call in Stoke-on-Trent.

So, in Southampton in the south of England, the whole city is happily waiting for the holy moment to come.

More than a hundred years!

The people in this city have waited for more than a hundred years for the championship trophy of England's top league that countless ancestors have dreamed of!

Now they finally have a chance to achieve it!

For the saints of Southampton, this is an honor and a memory worthy of their lifetime!

So, the game hasn't arrived yet, but this city is already boiling.

Walking on the streets of Southampton, you can see everywhere Saints fans wearing red and white arrow striped jerseys.

Some of them are citizens who are born and raised in this city, some are relocated to other places, but the Saints who have come back to support the team, and some are international students from Southampton and London.

The most surprising thing is that there are so many fans from all over the world who come to Southampton from all over the world!

So, just to see this game that has been waiting for more than 100 years!

In the gathering place for fans in Southampton, the Saint Harry's Bar, everyone is busy going in and out, one by one, just like the hardworking bees, going back and forth.

Lees Nose Harry was standing in the bar, directing everyone with his iconic loud voice.

"Hey, Jack, hurry up to the college town and tell the guys from the University Saints Fans Branch, let’s get some fun tonight, organize, warm up, warm up the stadium, don’t mess it up! "

"John, you go to St. Mary's Stadium immediately and contact them about the ticket. The gap on our side is too big!"

"Oh, Maria, tonight, there will be a lot of Saints fans from all over the world who will come to our Saint Harry's Bar to join us. We have to create an atmosphere. It's best to get them all excited. How can we say that we are also on it? Don’t fall into the reputation of a saint in the club’s official magazine!"

"Oh my God, Judy, what did you do? Didn't I tell you? The image of Master Huan's advertisement has to be made bigger, and posted in the most conspicuous position? What? You said Master Huan likes to be low-key? I tell you , This is already quite low-key, okay?"

As soon as anyone walks into the bar, he can hear the loud voice from Saint Harry.

There is also... his roaring mess, sometimes it is really laughable.

But seeing the busyness of everyone in the bar, I believe anyone can feel the enthusiasm, excitement and expectation from their hearts.

For them, Southampton is more than just a football club!

That is a faith!

A faith that began from their ancestors and passed on to them, and they will be passed on to future generations!

So, this time, they want everyone to feel the power of the saints' faith!

"Harry!" John ran to the inside of the lees nose.

"how about it?"

"I called and asked, I have no tickets!"

The saint Harry scolded his mother one after another. This was just his catchphrase and definitely not aimed at certain people.

"The club was actively preparing for this event before. Therefore, as soon as the last round of the game is over, it will be launched immediately. All Saints members can grab tickets for the game through WeChat. It is said that the group of foreign guys were snatched away. More than 3,000 copies!"

"Wow, how much is the St. Mary's Stadium? Just distributed more than 3,000 copies to foreign fans?"

Saint Harry was unhappy, "If you count the more than 1,000 Saints fan club, the team's season ticket, and the sponsor's representative..." It is really difficult to have more tickets left!

"How to do?"

Saint Harry thought for a while, "I'm going to call Matthew and ask him to quickly think of a way. This time we are going to build up the entire St. Mary's Stadium. We haven't given us more tickets. Why? whole?"

John also kept nodding.

But more than 3,000 tickets have been sent out, and this group of fans must come to Southampton for consumption. For this city, it is simply driving the economy!

So, I'm afraid it is difficult to play these ticket ideas.

"John, you should hurry up to contact other fan clubs and tell them our plan!"

John nodded immediately.

"Also, tell them that after the game, the team won the championship~www.readwn.com~ We want every corner of this city to hear our voices and celebrate for us, understand?"

When John heard this, he also obviously felt the passion, and he couldn't help nodding.

"Well, I'll go right away!"

"Well, go!"

Saint Harry sent John away, but he was still somewhat unhappy in his heart.

Niangxipi's, it turns out that the team has a high attendance rate, which is also a very annoying thing.

At the very least, if they want to organize some activities, it is always difficult to make up the number of people, and there will always be some fans who cannot buy tickets.

It seems that before moving into the new stadium, members have to buy season tickets!

Well, that has to be hurry up!

It's too late, I'm afraid I can only buy season tickets for next season!
