Stop the ball ten meters away, the goal depends on Meng

Chapter 479 I don’t want to be the head coach anymore!

After a 13:0 bloodbath against Bournemouth, Darren Ferguson also ended his three trials.

He won all three games, scored a total of 26 goals, and only conceded 2 goals in the Champions League. His results were also quite good, enough to compete with Gary Neville (scoring 22 goals and conceding 1 goal).

The fourth person to take over the trial task is Manchester United's first assistant coach, Rene Meulensteen.

Unlike the rest of the coaching staff, Meulensteen is a Dutchman and has nothing to do with Manchester United as a player. He is not even a successful professional player.

After retiring, he did not make any name in the Dutch coaching circle, so he had to travel thousands of miles to Qatar to hunt for gold.

With the golden name of Dutch football, he served as the head coach of the U18 echelon of the Qatar national team for 5 years, and was then promoted to the national team coach. Unfortunately, Qatar had not vigorously developed football at that time, and the highest honor he received was only in the Arab countries. The runner-up of the Cup - equivalent to the second place in the East Asian semi-finals...

After that, he coached the domestic club in Qatar for three years. In 2001, he was recommended to Sir Alex Ferguson by Tottenham legend and Scottish legend Dave McKay.

This recommendation allowed Meulensteen to successfully enter the Manchester United club, but it was not until 6 years as a youth training coach that he finally entered the first team in 2007, and then began to coach Ronaldo, Rooney, and Carlos Tevez, the second batch of Manchester United players. A generational superstar...

After Ferguson retired in 2013, Meulensteen rejected the offer of "The Chosen Son" Moyes to stay, and resolutely left for the Russian Super League. He joined the Anzhi team that was preparing to make great achievements at the time, and became an assistant to his fellow Dutchman Hiddink. .

However, after only two rounds of the new season, with 1 draw and 1 loss, Hiddink was fired by the impatient club executives, and Meulensteen suddenly became the acting head coach.

Just 16 days later, Meulensteen, who also had one draw and one loss, followed in the footsteps of Hiddink and was kicked out of the club...

Meulensteen then coached Fulham, but unfortunately he only lasted three months before being laid off again. Frustrated, he went to Israel to seek a way out, but the results were equally unsatisfactory.

If Ferguson hadn't come back, the Dutchman would have challenged his limits as a coach in the Indian League at this time...

Returning to Manchester United this time completely saved Meulensteen's coaching career and made him realize clearly that not everyone is suitable to be a head coach!

The rhetoric of "I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail" does not apply to me who is 51 years old and has not yet paid off my mortgage!

Being able to work as an assistant coach at a super giant like Manchester United, receiving a salary of 2 pounds on time every week, and receiving a valuable bonus every once in a while, isn’t it something that most people dream of? Something? -

People have self-knowledge.

It turned out that Meulensteen had recognized himself and decided to continue to be an assistant coach at Manchester United.

But Ferguson's plan to "screen heirs" once again ignited the flame in his heart!

Of course the Dutch also know that the heir that Ferguson most wants to support must be his own son Darren, but now that Darren's trial results are not satisfactory, others may... have a chance?

Mullensdin, who was so excited, decided to give it a final try!

If you win, you will be the head coach of the top football club, and you will reach the pinnacle of your life!

If you lose, the worst thing you can do is put your tail between your legs and continue to be an assistant coach!

December 12, the 19th round of the Premier League.

Manchester United plays Norwich at home.

Under Mullensdin's strong suggestion, Su Changwei played the full 90 minutes again.

Norwich, nicknamed the "Magpie", was an out-and-out weak team and a super scorer. In front of the top strikers of Su Changwei and Robin van Persie, they only lasted 5 minutes before being defeated.

Su Changwei had 7 goals and 1 pass, and Van Persie completed a double hat trick of goals and assists. Coupled with the contributions of Mata and Lingard, the score reached double digits again: 12:0!

Meulensteen was satisfied:

[As long as Ah Wei fully supports me, my results in this trial will be far ahead of others! 】

But he had just attended the post-match press conference and was driving back home when he received news from the team doctor:

"Rene, something bad is going to happen!"

"Awei's muscles are showing signs of overwork and he must rest for 7 to 10 days!" Mullensdin, who was immersed in a dream a second ago, suddenly saw darkness and almost hit the accelerator to the bottom!

[I know this guy has a glass constitution, but I didn’t know he was so glassy! 】

[Today’s game has been 7 days since the last one! 】

[It’s just that he played 90 minutes in two consecutive games. How could he still be tired? 】

[Back then, Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez, Nani, Giggs... almost everyone was a monster with endless physical abilities. Even the Chinese director's physical fitness was different from ordinary people. How did he end up like this Suave? , becomes broken at the touch of a touch? ! 】

He parked the car on the side of the road, looked up to the sky and sighed:

[Damn God! 】

[Am I not religious enough in your faith? 】

[Can I only be an assistant coach for the rest of my life? 】

The image of Ferguson shaking his head slightly appeared before his eyes:

"Rene, I'm so disappointed in you!"

"You have been studying with me for 6 years, but you haven't even learned the most basic things!"

"If you want to be a qualified head coach in England, you must know how to rotate the lineup reasonably!"
-

December 12, the 26th round of the Premier League.

Manchester United faces Stoke City away from home.

Maybe it's because Su Changwei is missing, or maybe it's just Christmas, but the entire Manchester United team doesn't seem excited enough.

The "Potters" playing at home took advantage of the Red Devils' unsteady foothold. Bojan, the former Barcelona genius and "Messi's successor", scored the first victory in the 19th minute!

Manchester United woke up from a dream and quickly roused themselves to launch a fierce attack. Van Persie lived up to expectations and equalized the score in the 33rd minute, 1:1.

But before Meulensteen could put his heart back into his stomach, the home team's Anautovic fired an unreasonable long-range shot, which blasted through De Gea's fingers, 2:1. !

The impetuous Mullensteen even replaced Rooney in the second half, who had just returned from injury. However, Captain Lu, who had been away from the team for a long time, failed to bring any positive impact to the situation. Instead, he lost the ball because of his inactive running. A key possession almost led to another loss...

Fortunately, Manchester United still has the big killer of set kicks. In the 84th minute, Mata took a corner kick. Van Dijk jumped high in the crowd and rubbed the ball backwards. Lingard stretched his foot to block it and the ball hit him. The defender flew into the goal by mistake!

2:2…

Manchester United could only settle for a draw.

Mullensdin looked up to the sky and sighed:

【It’s over! 】

[Are these players playing me? 】

[Why are the players on the opposite side stronger than the other? 】

The Dutchman, who wanted to be independent, finally accepted his fate:

[The head coach of Manchester United... is too damn difficult to be the head coach of Manchester United! 】

[Being an assistant coach is also very good! 】
