Ch 7 : The Whole Football Circle Is Shaken!

Raw in MTLNovel : "The Red Devils Successor"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On May 26, 2013, the 2012/13 season UEFA Champions League final was played at Wembley Stadium in London. Bayern Munich defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-1 and won the fifth Champions League trophy in the team's history. With the emergence of the Champions League Trophy, the 2012-2013 season officially ended.

Apart from the Confederations Cup, there were no major events that attracted much attention in the summer of 2013. After the league ended, most European players had no national team tasks and went on vacation.

Nevertheless, the summer of 2013 is doomed to be noisy, because in early June, several European giants had started to change their coaches, and the club also began to announced their new coaches candidates.

Jose Mourinho returned to Chelsea and signed for four seasons.

Jupp Heynckes retired after winning the triple crown, and Barcelona's former coach Pep Guardiola became Bayern Munich's new coach.

Carlo Ancelotti flew 1000 Km from Paris Saint-Germain, descended on Bernabeu and took control of the Galactic Battleship Real Madrid.

Manchester City announces their new coach, Manuel Pellegrini.

Former French National Team's coach Laurent Blanc took over PSG and aims to make a breakthrough in the Champions League next season.

When these clubs were full of ambition, red seemed to have fallen into a low tide in the old industrial city of Manchester.

Manchester Evening News reporter, Hall, published a series of special topics, which introduced Tiger King's player and coaching career in detail. Many people had only now know that Tiger King was originally a member of Manchester United's 92 class!

But even with a glorious history, he retired early due to injuries and has been coaching the club's youth team. These experiences are not enough to convince most of the fans. Many Manchester United fans have doubts about the future of the club in Tiger King's hands.

]And the media in other regions are even dismissive of Tiger King. In this morning's "The Sun" football section, a manuscript by reporter Wolfe devalued Tiger King.

"We all know that it takes a lot of money to hire a good coach. It 's clear from Abramovich's ten-million-dollar contract for Mourinho, but it seems that the Red Devils is not willing to spend a lot of money to hire a good coach, and let a youth team assistant coach came on board to lead the first team! This approach from the Glazer family had caused great anger among Manchester United fans. These days, many Manchester United fans have held a large-scale demonstration in front of the club office building. They held high banners protesting the controversial action of the Glazer family and worried about Manchester United's performance next season. A club loyal fan interviewed by our reporters said he was very doubtful that Manchester United could stay in the top four of the league next season. "

"What the f*ck is this shits!" In the Manchester Red Bar, a drunk fat man tore a newspaper in his hands and shattered it. "What f*cking top four of the league!? we will still be champions next season!"

At this time, the guests in the bar shouted: "Yeah! We will defend the championship next season! What Mourinho, what Professor, just let them rot in their empty Hall of Fame!"

But after the hustle and bustle, the whole bar returns to calm.

Crimson Bar is a very special bar in Manchester. The guests here are all Manchester United's diehard fans. The bar has been opened for decades. Like these fans, the owner, Butler, has changed from the then young fearless diehard fan, to the now middle-aged loyal diehard fan. Time might not always be constant, but for him, loyalty and love for Manchester United will always be constant!

The lively bar suddenly quieted down, making people very uncomfortable. The drunk fat man was Rodney. He was a member of Manchester United 's biggest Fan Club "King of Devil". He had a few pieces of "Sun" in front of him, then he tear it apart after reading it.

But after everyone's blood and noise rises, everyone fell into silence.

A fan who has a good relationship with Rodney whispered: "There won't be any problem with the new coach next season …"

"Of course there won't be any problem! Although Sir Ferguson has retired, but the new coach ..." Speaking of which, Rodney stopped suddenly, he didn't know what to say for a while, "I think it will be alright anyway."

Then he added in a low voice: "Even if the new coach does nothing, we are still very competitive with the lineup left by Sir Ferguson this season."

A young fan suddenly said with some concern: "Tiger King has no first-team coaching experience, and I think the team will be passive next season."

Another young fan agreed: "Yeah, I have never heard of Tiger King's name. He is just the assistant coach of the youth team. Even the youth team head coach is not chosen. How can he support the first team?"

"You f*cking shitheads!!"

A beer mug fell on the table and Rodney pointed at the noses of the two young men: "You don't know anything about him! You don't even know who Tiger King is, yet you dare to call yourself a Manchester United diehard fans?!!"

The two young men were scared by Rodney's angry face, and for a moment they do not dare to speak back.

A hand stretched over at this time: "Rodney, calm down, why are you venting your anger on them? They are still young. It has been so many years since Tiger King's incident, and few people mentioned it, so it's normal for them to not know about it.

Rodney looked back: "Cook, you still have a good temper. My good temper has been lost by that "The Sun" shitty article."

Not only Rodney, but also everyone else in the bar respects this middle-aged man named Cook. Cook is very tall with an enviable figure. He is the chairman of the Fan Club "King of Devil" and is deeply respected by the Red Devils fans.

Cook drank a glass of beer: "If you have any anger, Rodney, when the game begins next season, go to Old Trafford and vent your anger on the opponents' teams and fans."

"You're right." Rodney nodded, then he waved at the two young fans, "You two boys come here! I'll give you a lesson and tell you who Tiger King is!"

Seeing the bustling in the bar, Cook left the crowd, came to the bar counter, and shook the empty wine glass in his hand: "Old man, I'm back."

Butler, the bar owner sitting at the bar, looked up at Cook and refilled him with a glass of wine: "Cook, answer me honestly, what do you think of Tiger King's coaching prospects?"

"Honestly? Not optimistic," Cook frowned. "Even if the position is empty now, even Mourinho has to weigh the pros and cons before taking the position. Sir Ferguson's prestige in the team will still be high for a long time, and it will be difficult for new coaches to establish any prestige in the team."

Butler wiped the wine glass on the counter and asked, "Do you think the club's choices is correct?"

"This ..." Cook thought for a long time, but did not think of a suitable candidate, "It's not that the club does not want anyone to come, but nobody wanted to come t the club. This is really a troublesome problem."

Cook drank another glass of wine in frustration.

Butler said softly: "When the Sire left, he said to everyone, "When our results are bad, the club has always supported me, and all the players have also supported me. Now, your job is to support the next head coach, that's crucial!" "

Cook nodded: "Yes, support, of course, we will support him. Especially he is still our Tiger King! Our talented Captain!"
