Chapter 399 This is what the most successful club in England should look like!

The Manchester derby, which has attracted worldwide attention, has come to an end.

Thanks to Ling Feng's god-like performance, Manchester United defeated their city rivals Manchester City 4-2 at home, winning the first round of the Manchester derby and extending their league winning streak to four games!

This is also the first time in five years that Manchester United has achieved a dream start with consecutive league wins!

As the team's head coach and undoubtedly the best player of the game, Mourinho and Ling Feng, the master and apprentice, also became the subject of reports by major media.

"The best player in the Premier League! The best coach in the Premier League! Together, they are invincible!"

"Mourinho taught Guardiola a good lesson! The Premier League is not that easy to play!"

"The Red Devils' rise is unstoppable."

In addition to the media hype, the Red Devils' famous players, who have always been very popular, also took this opportunity to show their presence.

"Ling Feng proved his worth with just one game!" - Scholes.

"Ling Feng is the present and future of Manchester United!" - Gary Neville.

"This year's Ballon d'Or should be awarded to him!" - Ferdinand.

In addition, Lineker, the leader of the famous Ling Feng group who predicted before the game that Ling Feng would perform a hat trick, also sent out two tweets in a row.

The first one congratulated Ling Feng on his victory, and was accompanied by a high-definition photo of Ling Feng shooting the ball through Bravo's goal.

The second one is the confession:
"It was great to see my little brother shine. Although he didn't score three goals as I expected. But two goals and two assists? I almost forgot he was a midfielder! However, now he can enjoy the beauty of both goals and assists!"

"You all know that I am happy to admit that Messi's playing style fascinates me. However, Ling Feng's playing style, his wind-like speed, and his unstoppable super heavy artillery all make me feel refreshed!"

"I love Lingfeng so much!"

Ling Feng also immediately interacted with him on social media:
"I love you too, my friend!"

The overwhelming news coverage also made Ling Feng once again witness the huge influence of Manchester United as a platform.

It wasn't a crucial match to determine the championship, nor was it a cup final. It was just an ordinary league game, but it was able to cause such heated discussions before and after the game.

However, it is easy to understand.

The first confrontation between the two top coaches in today's football world in England, the club with the largest number of fans in the world, and the most popular stars.
Whether it is the topic or the attention, it is at its maximum!

For the club and the fans, defeating Manchester City at home is of great significance!

It is not just about defeating the city's arch-rivals, it also shows the world Manchester United's newfound fighting power.

This is what the most successful club in England should look like!

After welcoming the new coach "madman" Mourinho and investing nearly 200 million pounds, Manchester United has finally returned to the top group in the league championship race!

Manchester City, which ranked second in odds, has been defeated. Next up is Chelsea, which ranked third, and Arsenal, which ranked fourth.
As long as they defeat these championship rivals one by one in head-to-head confrontations, they will naturally be the only choice for the championship!
This day is so promising!
And this is all thanks to the master and apprentice pair Mourinho and Ling Feng.

For a time, there was a wave of praise for Mourinho on the Internet.

"Famous commander, capable!"

"The Red Devil's true love!"

"Mourinho, you are my God!"

Ling Feng’s jersey sales also skyrocketed again!

From joining to the Manchester derby, he joined Manchester United for only one month, and the jersey sales reached a terrifying 750,000 pieces!
This figure exceeds one-third of Manchester United’s total jersey sales last year!

It also created a record for jersey sales for new players joining the Premier League team!
The official selling price of a Manchester United jersey is between 80 and 110 pounds.

That is to say, in just one month, Manchester United earned nearly 70 million pounds just by selling Ling Feng's No. 7 jersey.

If this continues, within three months, Manchester United will be able to recover Ling Feng’s transfer fee just by selling jerseys!
After the Daily Mail released this data, everyone once again realized the terrifying influence of the Red Devils Manchester United.

The most popular player in the Premier League and even in Europe, plus the club with the most fans in the world, it is simply a powerful combination of top stars!
It would be strange if the jersey sales didn’t explode!

Of course, the happiest people with the surge in jersey sales are not the clubs, but the jersey manufacturers.

Because the bulk of the profits from jersey sales belong to the manufacturer (Adidas), Manchester United can actually only get 5-10% of the share.

In fact, for Manchester United's operations, jersey sales only account for a small part of the club's revenue.

The key is that Ling Feng, as the new No. 7 of the Red Devils, can bring more brand effect and commercial value to Manchester United.

The better Ling Feng performs on the court, the higher his commercial value.

As for Manchester United, which aims to make Ling Feng the new face of the Red Devils, they can expand their brand influence to a new generation of young people through Ling Feng's outstanding image and huge influence among the British youth group.

You know, these young fans will become die-hard fans of Manchester United and become long-term and loyal consumers (leeks) in the future!
. . .

As Manchester City won the derby, Mourinho was very happy to give the first team a day off.

In the evening of the same day, Ling Feng, dressed in a casual suit, came to Sir Alex Ferguson's home in Cheshire with his girlfriend Barbara.

After yesterday's victory over Manchester City, Ferguson invited him to have dinner at his home today.

Ling Feng also readily agreed.

After all, the opportunity to have dinner with the godfather of Manchester United doesn't come often.
"Sir Ferguson, this is the blood of the bull of Eger"

Knowing that Mr. Ferguson likes to drink, he specially gave him the famous Hungarian wine given by his girlfriend as a gift for his meal.

"Haha, that's thoughtful."

Compared to Ferguson, Ferguson's wife Cathy was more enthusiastic.

In addition to preparing a sumptuous Scottish delicacy for Ling Feng and Barbara, he also kept praising Ling Feng at the dinner table:

"Young man, I have to tell you that since you joined, my old man can't stop laughing every day when he sees the news about Manchester United."

"You are really great. Every time you take the ball and pass the ball on the court, you can make the team's offense smoother and more organized."

Perhaps because she is a senior football fan herself and she is the only person who listens to Ferguson's post-match review every time he returns home, Cathy's understanding of football is much deeper than many fans. Of course, the two old people also did not forget to ask about their love life.

For example, how long have you been together and how did you meet?
Although I have been in a stable relationship with Ling Feng for more than a year.

However, Barbara has never been taken home by Ling Feng to have dinner with his parents!

It’s not that Ling Feng is unwilling to take him, it’s just that the timing is always not right.

When they first started dating, their relationship wasn't stable yet, and neither of them had proposed meeting their parents.

When their relationship becomes stable, it is the turn of Ling's father and mother to be busy.

Because, at the beginning of this year, Ling Feng's parents quit their jobs and started traveling around the world!
Ling Feng can only find out which country and city his parents are in through daily video calls.

Until now, Ling Feng has been to Barbara's home and to her parents, brothers and sisters, but Barbara has never been to his home to have dinner with her family.

Therefore, she was somewhat nervous about the "concern" from her elders.

However, Barbara has always been very straightforward and cheerful, and she answered with grace and grace:
“We first met in Milan”

After listening to the story of how the two met, Mrs. Ferguson winked at Ling Feng and said with a smile:

"Boy, you're a lucky guy!"

After dinner, Ferguson took Ling Feng to tour his mansion and then came to his honor collection room.

The walls are covered with important moments of Ferguson's 27-year coaching career.

From being appointed as Manchester United manager in 1986, his debut at home, to Manchester United's first championship in 1990, the treble in 1999, and the Champions League in 2008.
In addition to the championship moments, there are also photos with players under his command, including Robson, Cantona, Class of 92, "Manchester United Twins" Rooney and Ronaldo.

As one of the greatest coaches in football, Ferguson's Manchester United coaching career has too many memorable moments.
However, when he came to the celebration photo of the 2008 Champions League victory, Ferguson suddenly stopped:

"This is Manchester United's last Champions League title and before we knew it, eight years have passed."

After sighing to himself, Ferguson turned around and asked casually:
"Do you and Jose still get along?"

"Jose is a very straightforward person and I have a good relationship with him. He also fulfilled his promise and gave me enough trust and freedom."

"How is Manchester compared to Leicester? Are you used to it?"

"It's OK, I have no complaints except for the weather"

After chatting for a while, Ferguson got straight to the point:
"Ling, do you think we have a chance to win the Champions League this season?"

For Ferguson, whether Manchester United can win the league championship is not within his consideration.

Because there are so many Premier League titles in Manchester United’s showroom!
They are also the club with the most top-flight titles in England!
Winning another Premier League title will not significantly enhance Manchester United's historical status in England.

Instead, it is the Champions League champions who will announce to the world of football that the Red Devils are back!

As a club coach, the Champions League is the greatest stage!
Why did Manchester United replace Van Gaal, who was in good shape last year after winning the FA Cup and finishing fourth in the league?

On the one hand, the negotiation with Mourinho has been almost completed, and on the other hand, Mourinho's performance in the Champions League is also very positive.
Ferguson's ideas are actually the same as those of many other old Red Devils fans who have witnessed Manchester United's former glory.

That is, they are the most successful club in England and they are the super giants with the most fans in the world.

Therefore, they should have greater ambitions and goals!

The club’s highest honor is the Champions League title!

Therefore, even though the team has not won the league championship for several consecutive years, the fans still have very high expectations for the club.

Top four in the league? FA Cup winner?

Far from enough!

They are going to win the championship!
Champion means league champion and Champions League champion!
Faced with Ferguson's question and those weathered eyes that were eager for an answer, Ling Feng did not answer immediately.

Instead, he hesitated for a moment before answering with a firm face:

"It's difficult. But we will try our best!"

. . .

After a short vacation, Manchester United players once again began active preparations.

Because they are about to embark on the journey of the Champions League!
Just before the team was about to face the first round of the Champions League group stage, Manchester United received double good news!
Mourinho led the team to three consecutive league victories and achieved a record of scoring 11 goals and conceding only 1 goal. He was elected the Premier League's best coach in August, and he deserved it!

Manchester United's No. 7 Ling Feng, who scored three goals and six assists in three games, also defeated his teammates Ibrahimovic, Manchester City's De Bruyne, Sterling, Chelsea's Hazard and other stars, and was elected the Premier League's best player in August!
It is not uncommon for Manchester United players and coaches to win the monthly best player award.

Manchester United in August is simply scorching hot!
And this state also continued in the Champions League!
At Old Trafford, they faced the first round of the Champions League group stage.

The opponent is the Bundesliga powerhouse Borussia Mönchengladbach!
Borussia Mönchengladbach, nicknamed "Little Pony", is definitely a traditional powerhouse in the Bundesliga.

German legends such as "Tiger" Effenberg and Heynckes also played for this team and made a name for themselves.

However, they are facing the powerful Red Devils Manchester United!
After the last Manchester derby, Mourinho also had a rough outline of the team's main lineup:
Martial can also give time to rescue;
Herrera returns to the starting lineup as defensive midfielder, and Smalling returns to the starting lineup as central defender, making the midfield and backfield personnel more balanced.
Although this Borussia Mönchengladbach team has young talents and powerful players such as Hazard Jr., Kramer, Stindl, Dahoud and Rafael.

However, there is still a certain gap in overall strength compared to Manchester United.

Moreover, taking advantage of the victory in the Manchester derby, the Red Devils, playing at home, firmly controlled the initiative on the field from the first second of the game!

In this game, Ling Feng transformed himself into a leisurely midfield master, and brought his rich and varied passing techniques to full play.

In the first half, he assisted Martial to score his first goal of the season and assisted Ibrahimovic to score a header.

In the second half, he assisted Lingard, who came on as a substitute for Rooney, to score his first goal in the Champions League!

After scoring the goal, Lin Huang excitedly gave Ling Feng a big hug.

Finally, Ling Feng, who completed a hat trick of assists, clocked out at the 75th minute amid the applause of the fans!

In the end, Manchester United beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-1 at home and won their first victory in the Champions League this season!

It also enabled Ling Feng to achieve a historic breakthrough from zero to one in terms of Champions League wins!
