Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1620 Language Advantage
In the second half of the game, Bayern significantly strengthened their offensive.

This is more comfortable for Manchester United. It is enough to retreat and fight back. With Bell, Van Persie and Rooney in the frontcourt, they can easily cause fatal damage to the opponent's defense.

Sure enough, in the 72nd minute, Manchester United's counterattack came!

Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar tossed the ball to midfielder Yaya Toure, who, under pressure, knocked it back to Schweinsteiger.The latter directly hit the ground with a long pass and found Rooney on the right.

Rooney galloped all the way, forming a 3-on-2 situation. He handled it calmly. Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he lightly passed the ball to Van Persie in the middle. The latter easily pushed the empty goal and succeeded.

3: 0!

Seal the victory!

The remaining 20 minutes of the game were basically garbage time. Old Trafford became a carnival scene, and excited fans were singing their praises.

Ferguson chose Mingjin to withdraw troops, replaced Robin van Persie who had just returned from injury with Park Ji-sung, and then replaced Bell, who performed amazingly, and let the experienced veteran Ryan Giggs play to control the situation.

The audience applauded thunderously and gave warm praise to this young future star.

Although he failed to score in this game, his repeated impacts on the wing caused great damage to the opponent, and he sent an assist to Van Persie to help the team open the scoring.

All Manchester United people can basically see that this young Gareth Bale is the hope of Manchester United in the future.

Hope is not a Manchester United fan, so he didn't react too much, and suddenly asked: "What about Ferguson?"

"Huh?" Zhou Buqi turned his head, "What should I do?"

Mr. Hope said: "He is a great head coach, but can he accept Rangnick's football system?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Of course not, but he is old, and he will probably retire soon. After he retires, Manchester United's sports business must be reformed."

"Reform in the direction of Rangnick?"

"Correct."

"Will he agree?"

"Huh?" Zhou Buqi smiled, "Old man, he is just a coach."

Hope said, "But he is Ferguson."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "The business of the club is actually two aspects, one is commercial and the other is competitive. At present, the commercial part of Manchester United has been reformed. After he retires, the competitive aspect will also be modernized. Transformation. The competitive system created by Ferguson is too old-fashioned."

Ferguson is not a master of tactics, he is a master of the dressing room because he holds the power and he speaks volumes at the competitive level of Manchester United.

Even Beckham can be disfigured by his flying kick; even if Ronaldo made trouble in 08 and wanted to transfer to Real Madrid, Ferguson threatened that if you dare to make trouble, I will let you sit in the stands and never kick On the ball, must play another season at Manchester United. Ronaldo could only compromise and move to Real Madrid in the summer of 09.

But the core of the success of this model is that Ferguson is too powerful.

Looking at the whole world, who else can do it besides him?
Ferguson has only one.

His formula for success is not replicable.

This system of "head coach responsibility system" is a British tradition, but it must be changed, and it can no longer keep up with the times.It is necessary to transform to the sports director responsibility system, where the sports director and the head coach cooperate with each other.

Zhou Buqi has already planned, he wants to create a German ecosystem around Rangnick's football philosophy, and Manchester United is the top of the food chain in this system!

For a giant of Manchester United's level, buying players is both easy and complicated.It is easy to have money, brands and influence, and players are willing to join.The disadvantage is that this club is too big, the internal environment is very complicated, and many players are of sufficient strength, but they just cannot adapt to this kind of giants.

By introducing players from this ecosystem, this shortcoming can be avoided to the greatest extent, and many plug-and-play "system players" can be introduced.

Hope pondered and asked: "Will you let Rangnick succeed Ferguson?"

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi shook his head again and again, "No, Rangnick...he is a master of theory, and he also has a good eye for selecting players, but his personality is too paranoid, he is not suitable for coaching a big team. Moreover, his age is not good enough. Too big, I would choose a young German coach who can lead Manchester United for 10, 20 years."

Hope said: "Well, a large number of young excellent coaches have emerged in Germany, including the head coach and assistant coach of the German national team, and they are also very good."

Zhou Buqi said: "I will choose a disciple of Rangnick to complete the unity of tactics. Only when master and apprentice work together can we create the best results."

"Have you thought about it?"

Mr. Hope's questioning tone is very serious.

Zhou Buqi said frankly: "Yes, regardless of whether you participate or not, this matter must be done! If you disagree, I will bypass you and go directly to talk to Rangnick. I believe this model is in line with his ambition."

Hope was silent for a while, then shook his head again, "The Greek team can't do it."

"Ok?"

Zhou Buqi didn't quite understand what he meant.

Hope said: "Greece speaks Greek, and it is too difficult to adapt to different languages. If you want to reduce the running-in and shorten the adaptation time of players, it is best to have an advantage in language."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Indeed, there is still a language issue."

Hope thought about it and said: "English is a must-have, but it turns out to be German football. The Bundesliga must have the biggest stage of performance. This means that more players under this system travel from overseas to Europe, or come from abroad. Promotion from the lower leagues, more into the Bundesliga. German is also important."

"Ah."

"So the Greek team can't do it. You should choose a country whose official language is German, such as Poland, Austria, Switzerland, and Belgium."

"What's your suggestion?"

"Switzerland."

"why?"

"It's a hub for FIFA and UEFA, so it's easy for you to network in Europe."

Hope is indeed an old fox, and he can see at a glance Boss Zhou's intention to engage in football in Europe.There is no need to deny this, if you really want to make money... Hehe, with the strength of boss Zhou, what can you do to make more money than playing football?

The reason why football’s ability to make money is so poor is because football is not a market economy at all, it’s more about sophistication, there are countless shady transactions, and there are strong political factors behind it.

Zhou Buqi pretended not to understand, "Ziweixing Digital Media's business really needs official support."

Hope said with a smile: "There is another reason. Switzerland is rich and the economic situation is good. It is easier to make money as a team here. Although the Swiss Super League can only be regarded as a second-tier league in Europe, the Swiss The teams can often participate in the Europa League and even the Champions League, which is enough to become a transit point for young players in Europe."

Zhou Buqi glanced at him, "So, you agree?"

"let me think again."

Hope waved his hand and got up to leave.

At this time, the game was over, and Manchester United finally defeated their opponents with a total score of 5:3 in the two rounds and entered the semi-finals.The opponent in the semi-finals is Lyon, and Manchester United has entered the Champions League final for the third consecutive year, which is almost a certainty.

From this point of view alone, the Manchester United after the acquisition of the big boss Zhou is enough to make the fans feel excited.
