Chapter 645
Chapter 645
For Ferguson's words, Heinrich was particularly shocked.
Not only because he mentioned G14, but also because Ferguson did not taboo the tacit understanding between the giants.
In fact, among the European clubs, the one that really stands tall is UEFA.
He controls various competitions and various institutions of European clubs. Whether it is the club, the head coach, or even the selection of referees, UEFA and FIFA have their own responsibilities.
But it is undeniable that in Europe, all the small clubs combined cannot match the energy of the top dozen giants.
The rich teams not only have excellent records and rich history, but more importantly, they really control the economy and fans of this league!
Speaking of the Premier League alone, there are quite a few clubs with confidence and background, but there are only three that are really recognized as rich teams by other clubs.
Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal.
Regardless of their current record, they still have unrivaled influence.
And those giant teams united to form G14, which shook the interests of UEFA, and the various changes in it caused them to be dismantled, but now it seems that it just doesn't exist in form, and the tacit understanding in private is still there.
Ferguson was not surprised when he saw the expression change on Heinrich's face.
In fact, if some things were not necessary, he would rot in his stomach and never say it.
Pushing the teacup away, Ferguson's voice was exceptionally calm: "Now there is no team that is truly united. If we say that the teams that are closely related are Real Madrid, Juventus, and Bayern Munich. As for the other teams, most of them are in the There will be contact only when necessary, but we all agree that we have the right to ask for a reunion if we want to, and if UEFA goes too far."
Heinrich mentally translated the sentence.
The big teams don't have a good relationship, but they are willing to work together for the common good.
And this common interest is not the rights and interests of all clubs in Europe, but only represents the giants themselves.
Regarding this point, no one can say that they are selfish. After all, the club is not doing charity. They spend hundreds of millions of dollars in input and output. Even if it is for money, they should think more about themselves.
It's just that Heinrich was a little strange: "What does your union have to do with me?"
His Leeds United is neither a wealthy nor a team with an outstanding record.
Even if the last two seasons have dominated the limelight, it has been in the past two years.
In the world of football, there are many short-lived teams. Heinrich naturally does not think Leeds United is one of them, but if he let himself join the rich teams just because of Leeds United's several championships last season, it would be unavoidable. It's a little weird.
Ferguson didn't want to mention this at first. In fact, he felt that if he changed to another head coach, he would have jumped up happily if he knew that his team could have a foot in the giants.
As a result, when it came to Heinrich, it was like a hundred thousand whys, carefully making Ferguson helpless.
But Ferguson still chose to tell him his thoughts: "Although I don't know what they think, but for me, the reason why they agree to let me come to you is not only for Leeds United, but more , because of Heinrich."
The blond coach understood very keenly that this Heinrich was not referring to anyone, but the Heinrich family.
If you say that, it makes sense, because the addition of the family, coupled with the various participation of the Heinrich family in football, can make Leeds United soar ahead of schedule, and it is understandable.
However, it took Heinrich a while to recall what amazing move he had made.
Ferguson thought that Heinrich had known about Murdoch for a long time. What's more, he thought that Heinrich had planned this!
Not to mention that Heinrich is engaged in football, even if he is engaged in other fields, I am afraid that many people want to classify him as his own!
Fortunately, Heinrich is not an inquisitive temper, he quickly ignored some small problems inside, and looked at Ferguson with a smile: "So, Sir Ferguson, can we formally talk about your reason for coming?" ?”
Looking at his expression, Ferguson knew that this person had initially approved his suggestion, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face. Ferguson leaned forward slightly, and expressed his appeal one by one.
On the other hand, Heinrich sometimes shook his head and sometimes nodded. Generally speaking, the two sides agree more.
After all, they are all Premier League teams, and they are also oppressed by the FA and FIFA. It is normal to have something in common.
"I still need to discuss a lot of things with the club's senior management before deciding, but please believe that I will bring good results." Heinrich was very satisfied with everything just discussed and looked happy.
Ferguson was also very satisfied with today's meeting, with a smile on his face, and his English with a strong Scottish accent sounded a little jumpy: "It's also time for UEFA to recall the tense moments."
It wasn't until now that Heinrich finally asked his original question: "Mr. Ferguson, may I ask, why are you here to persuade me?"
Participating in the affairs of a wealthy club is not only a false name, but also a conflict of interests.
And these interests will definitely shake the cake that originally belonged to several giant teams in the Premier League.
If it was Wenger who came to invite him now, Heinrich would understand very well. After all, the relationship between the two clubs is good, and the relationship between him and Wenger is also very good. It is normal for them to have some benefits from each other.
However, Ferguson represented Manchester United.
Manchester United and Leeds United... Although they don't hate each other to death, if there is an opportunity in front of them, they will unceremoniously choose to hope that the other party will be relegated.
With a smile on Ferguson's face, it didn't look like he was sarcasm when facing reporters, nor did he look like Santa Claus in private, but he was more wise and sharp.
He still did not choose to hide from Heinrich this time, and every word is real: "Sometimes when looking at the relationship between clubs, apart from grievances, it is more about interests. Our two clubs are incompatible, but in more At that time, we are a community of interests."
They represent the Premier League.
Facing the siege of La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga, the Premier League must fight for more voice if it wants to stand out from the encirclement.
No matter how much the struggles between clubs are internal disputes, when it comes to the European arena, the victory of each of their teams brings league points.
Ferguson has worked hard in the Premier League all his life, and some things are clear enough.
His eyes met Heinrich's, and his voice was soft: "And I have selfish intentions."
If Heinrich could still understand what he said before, what Ferguson said now really aroused Heinrich's interest.
He looked at Ferguson curiously: "Can you tell me what this selfishness refers to?"
Ferguson's smile remained the same, but his eyes were looking at the unknown distance: "Adrian, I have to admit that my days as head coach are numbered, and I will step down in two years at most."
Although people have always had this kind of speculation, Heinrich was a little surprised to hear that Ferguson admitted that he was going to retire.
Ferguson waved his hand: "Don't look at me with that sympathetic look, I've got everything I can get at Manchester United, it's enough, and I can't do it forever, retirement is a matter of time."
Heinrich didn't speak, just nodded.
Probably Heinrich's calmness made Ferguson more eager to chat, so he told him what he seldom said to others before: "But I am gone, Manchester United still have to work hard in the Premier League. For Manchester United, Leeds United are bitter enemies, but we have many other enemies."
Whether it's Liverpool or Arsenal, there are too many teams that have feuded over the years that Manchester United has dominated.
"But for Leeds United, the only enemy is Manchester United."
Ferguson's words were somewhat meaningful, and it also made the look in Heinrich's blue eyes change.
Until Ferguson left, they did not mention the precise meaning of this sentence.
But after Ferguson left, Bertram asked, "Sir, what does Ferguson mean?"
Heinrich looked at him and leaned his head on the back of the chair. After a while, the blond man smiled.
A little helpless, but also a little clear.
His voice sounded extraordinarily long: "The prosperity of a team is not only because you have enough allies, but also because your enemies are strong enough."
Just like in Serie A, even if Juventus is tyrannical, the Milan duo attracts the most attention, because they depend on each other, are hostile to each other, but depend on each other.
Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga are also the top clubs that get the most attention. None of them really wants to kill anyone, but they can win slices of fans with gimmicks that are mortal enemies.
In the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich almost forced themselves to create imaginary enemies one after another. Whether it was Hamburg Bremen in the front or Dortmund Schalke now, Bayern always put themselves at one end of the balance and chose a team to watch. Rise up tough opponents on the other end.
Allies make a club thrive.
The enemy is keeping the club long enough.
Heinrich said softly: "Manchester United will not fall, because most of the fans don't want him to fall. Although his enemies want him to be unlucky, they don't want him to decline. But just like Sir Alex Ferguson said, Leeds United is in There are enemies in the Premier League, but Manchester United is the only deadly enemy."
They are like the two sides of yin and yang, as long as they appear at the same time, they will attract attention, but everyone hopes that they both exist, so that they will look good and interesting.
It is Manchester United who most hope that Leeds United will fall to the throne.
But it is still Manchester United who most hope that Leeds United will live.
The relationship here made Bertram feel a little confused. Even though the bodyguard had been with Heinrich for a long time, he still didn't understand the twists and turns of these head coaches.
Heinrich didn't explain much, because even if he knew that Ferguson had tricked him, he would not reject this person's kindness.
The bait is too tempting.
In fact, just now Ferguson discussed with him about the restart of G14. There are not many things that need to be done by Leeds United, but everything is very important.
The most important thing is to strengthen the scientific and technological progress among the rich teams, and all of these are handed over to the Heinrich family.
Although there is trust in the Heinrich family, more is for the improvement of the team.
Heinrich is willing to agree because he knows that it is profitable, and what his own club can get is always the best. He is not stingy about the others. Football will improve sooner or later, and there is no need to hide it.
What he sees more is the benefit after joining.
The right to speak, the status of the club, and even the ability to challenge UEFA!
These are all very attractive, and Heinrich will not give up, even if it is a project that will take several years, he is willing to try.
Taking a deep breath, Heinrich picked up the intercom phone on the table, preparing to call the assistant coach and some senior management for a meeting.
But at this moment, the phone rang suddenly.
Heinrich pressed the speakerphone directly: "What's the matter?"
Mr. Byron's voice came: "Sir, Mr. Ferguson asked me to tell you something..."
Heinrich was a little surprised: "What?"
"He said he wouldn't go without the wine."
Heinrich: ...Oh.
Ten minutes later, Ferguson left with a box of red wine in satisfaction, and Heinrich dialed the number of Ferguson's wife: "Hello, ma'am... Yes, I'm curious, and I hope everything goes well for you. I Just wanted to tell you that I just presented Sir Alex Ferguson with a case of red wine....Yes, yes, I understand that he can't drink now, but this is a bet between us...Okay, I get it, I won't in the future, and I wish you happiness."
Judging from Mrs. Ferguson's tone, Heinrich is sure that Sir Ferguson will fully feel the warmth of the family when he gets home, and after being confiscated by his good wife, he will reap his healthy life.
When Heinrich hung up the phone, he still had a smile on his face, and muttered softly: "No one can take anything from me without any price."
Bertram's eyes twitched slightly: "Sir, what are you doing?"
Heinrich looked confident: "I'm suing."
Bertram: ...Oh.
