"Alas, things have indeed developed in this direction that I don't want to see at all." After a long silence, Ferguson, sitting at his desk, sighed heavily, his tone full of regret and reluctance, "Morning Knowing this, I probably shouldn't have recommended to the board of directors that George take over the first-team duties while I was hospitalized."
Having said that, Ferguson also knew very well that letting George Nelson take over the team affairs while he was recovering was the most beneficial choice he could make for Manchester United at the time. If Queiroz is allowed to serve as acting coach, Manchester United may not even be able to win back a Premier League championship trophy!
In Ferguson's eyes, Queiroz is very good as an assistant coach. In this position, the Portuguese's rich tactical knowledge and experience as a head coach can bring many beneficial effects to Manchester United. For example, it can bring more changes to the Red Devils' playing style, so that the team can win more easily. Play some games. But if Queiroz is allowed to serve as the team's head coach, the Portuguese's shortcomings of not being good at adjusting interpersonal relationships in the locker room and overly trusting big-name stars will be enough to ruin the team's efforts throughout the season. To put it more seriously, in Ferguson's eyes, Queiroz may even shake the foundation of Manchester United's dominance of English football after taking office!
You know, under Ferguson's rule, the fundamental reason why Manchester United can win and dominate English football has never been simply relying on the on-the-spot performance of one or a few big-name stars, but the team and the whole!
George Nelson was different. Ferguson watched him grow up step by step. The old Scottish man naturally knows how well George understands Manchester United's tactics and staffing. Moreover, during the five years that George has played for Manchester United, he has established good personal relationships with team bosses such as Roy Keane and Beckham. With this friendship, coupled with his dedicated work attitude as Manchester United's assistant coach for five years, it is enough for George to take control of the team's locker room as quickly as possible and try to ensure that the Red Devils' combat effectiveness does not decline significantly. These conditions are not what Queiroz, who only came to Old Trafford to teach in the summer of 2002, can possess.
It was precisely for the above two reasons that Ferguson would not hesitate to threaten to resign and retire, forcing the Manchester United board of directors to give up the idea of letting Queiroz serve as acting coach, and instead handed this extremely important position to the younger George. Nelson's hands.
However, Ferguson did not expect that the young assistant coach next to him would be so awesome. Not only did he defeat his old rival Arsenal in his first coaching show, but he also led Manchester United to successfully complete a shocking reversal on the league battlefield, literally filling the gap. The double-digit point difference between the team and the leader was achieved, and the Premier League championship was locked in one round ahead of schedule!
Although the result of only stopping in the quarter-finals of the Champions League is somewhat regrettable, Ferguson must also admit that as an acting coach who was appointed in a critical situation, George had never had any head coaching experience before. Nelson's achievements can be said to be outstanding.
You know, even Ferguson himself, when he first took charge of Manchester United, his team's performance was only eleventh in the English League One (the top league in England at the time). At that time, this old Scottish red-nosed man had already had more than ten years of coaching experience in teams such as St. Mirren and Aberdeen, and even led the Scottish national team to the World Cup in Mexico!
And what about George Nelson? Before Ferguson was hospitalized due to illness this season, he had no experience coaching any team, not even a youth team!
In such a stark contrast, the outstanding achievements achieved by George Nelson after he was appointed at the critical moment naturally aroused Ferguson's strong attention - after all, this was something that the old man had not accomplished back then, so he could not help but ignore it.
It is precisely for this reason that Ferguson began to put George Nelson on the list of candidates capable of taking over as Manchester United head coach, and placed him at the forefront of all candidates - before this, Ferguson only placed George only regards him as a young coach with the potential to become a top coach, and does not think he has the ability to take charge of a top giant.
"Oh, I didn't expect that after being a head coach for so many years, I still made a mistake..." Looking at the firm expression on George Nelson's face, and the confident and confident look in his blue eyes. There was no wavering in his eyes, and Ferguson couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. Because the old man knows in his heart that unless he can guarantee George that he will definitely be the head coach of Manchester United's first team next season, it is absolutely impossible for this young man who has shown outstanding coaching talents to stay at Manchester United. : "So, you came all the way to Carrington today just to say goodbye to me in advance?"
"Yes, Alex, this time I came to Carrington to say hello to you in advance. Earlier today, Peter (Kenyon) accepted my resignation on behalf of the Manchester United management. They Said that after the end of this season, I can officially resign from my current position as assistant coach and acting head coach at Manchester United and go to coach another team that can give me a formal head coach position." In response to Ferguson's inquiry, George nodded. , affirming the other party's statement, "However, even if Alex you are not hospitalized due to illness, I'm afraid I won't stay here until you are willing to retire from the position of head coach."
"Well, that's true. No matter what, gold will shine sooner or later. Even if things like mine hadn't happened, George, I'm afraid you would have been able to find a chance to prove your coaching talent." Looking at the son in front of him who is about the same age as his own The young man, whose relationship with him was as close as father and son, insisted on leaving. Even though he was as strong-armed as Ferguson, his expression at this time could not help but feel a little sad, "However, I really didn't expect that this day would come so early." ...Heh, having said that. When Sir Robson (Bobby Robson, former head coach of the England national team, knighted by the British royal family in 2002) recommended you to me, he said that as long as you have a chance, , will definitely resign without hesitation and embark on the path of head coach. Now it seems that Sir Robson has a really good eye for judging people. George, after you have made a name for yourself on this stage, you will never be content with being an assistant coach again. position, I plan to spread my wings and fly high."
To be honest, Ferguson very much hopes that George Nelson can change his mind and choose to stay at Manchester United to continue to be his assistant coach. After he retires from his position as head coach, as his successor, he will continue to lead the Red Devils to dominate the second and third places in English football. ten years. Because in the five years they have worked together, especially during the more than half a year since he was recuperating from illness, Ferguson has a fairly full understanding of this young man's abilities and potential, so this time, he will George's decision was extremely regrettable.
You know, even another person called Ferguson's right-hand man by the British media, former Portuguese national youth team coach Carlos Queiroz, did not receive such attention from the Scottish red-nosed old man. This shows how much weight George Nelson, who was only 23 years old, held in Ferguson's heart!
Of course, if George could hear Ferguson's voice now, he would definitely not agree to the other party's request - with the stubbornness and disobedience of this old Scottish man, God knows when this guy will decide to obey the master. Retire as a coach!
What if Ferguson ends up working as head coach until 2013 before announcing his retirement, as he did in his previous life? Doesn't he have to wait until then? This would be too embarrassing for the time traveler!
After seeing this sentence, I believe you have a preliminary understanding of another identity of George Nelson. Yes, in the archives of this world, George Nelson, who was born in 1980 and is a direct descendant of Viscount Horatio Nelson, the famous former British Royal Navy general, is a time traveler from 2016! As for his various deeds after traveling to this world, they will be described in detail in subsequent chapters, so I will not give a detailed list here.
"Huh? The old man told you this?" Hearing Ferguson's heartfelt emotion, George Nelson chuckled, quietly changed the subject, and began to recall the past, "Honestly, at the time, When the old man asked me to be your assistant coach, Alex, I was still very unconvinced. After all, at that time, I had already won a Cup Winners Cup and a Copa del Rey with the old man as an assistant coach in Barcelona. Naturally, I feel that being an assistant coach at Manchester United is really not a challenging or useful thing."
"But, in the end, you changed your mind and stayed here as an assistant coach for five full years." Regarding this past incident mentioned by George, Ferguson couldn't help but have a look of nostalgia on his face, "But then again, When I received that phone call from Sir Robson, asking me to arrange an assistant coaching position for you, I was quite dissatisfied. After all, you were too young at the time and didn’t seem to be qualified for the job. What’s the ability of a position?”
"Fortunately, Alex, you finally gave me this opportunity for the sake of the old man. If I hadn't had this experience at Manchester United and had gone to coach a team based on my temperament, I would have suffered a lot. It's a very embarrassing defeat." George shrugged and said with a relaxed smile, "In the past five years at Manchester United, I have learned a lot of useful things from you, such as how to manage a team well. A top team allows players to remain hungry for honors and championship trophies despite their success, instead of watching them rest contentedly on their past achievements.”
Learn how to better manage a wealthy football club, how to interact with the big-name stars in the team, and how to maintain a good atmosphere in the dressing room when big-name players gather. This is how Bobby Robson transferred George Nelson, his proud man. The main reason why disciples recommended him to work under Ferguson. After all, compared with Robson, who only coached the top club Barcelona for one season, Ferguson, who single-handedly created the Manchester United dynasty, obviously has more say in this regard.
Old Robson's hard work paid off. After George Nelson, who thought he had learned a lesson, came to Manchester United, he quickly suffered a violent attack from Ferguson because he was not familiar with the team's business. From this, he realized that what he had learned from the old Robson was What I have learned is not enough to truly take charge of a wealthy team!
Yelang is arrogant, sitting in a well and looking at the sky. When placed on George Nelson, who just graduated from the old Robson, it is almost as if he was tailor-made for him.
Therefore, under the education of the Scots, George Nelson put away his arrogance and gradually learned how to integrate into a wealthy football club, how to use both kindness and power to knit the team into a whole, and how to show respect to the referees and the English Football Club. There is always even pressure from UEFA to strive for more benefits and benefits for the team.
Although George still has objections to some of Ferguson's actions in running the team (such as expelling Stam, who revealed the inside story of the locker room in his autobiography, and scolding Victoria for making Beckham "fallen", etc.), he also has to admit that , without Ferguson, Manchester United would not be able to become the current Premier League hegemon and achieve the great feat of winning the Triple Crown in the 1998-99 season!
This season's Premier League championship is the final answer handed over by George Nelson after five years of studying in Manchester. Judging from the results, it obviously did not disappoint those who had high expectations for his future. It can even be said that George’s answer sheet has far exceeded their initial expectations!
It can be said that the learning experience of these five seasons at Manchester United is an extremely valuable experience and wealth for George Nelson. At the same time, this experience will serve him well in his future coaching career and even in his dealings with others!
Note: Historically, Viscount Horatio Nelson had no descendants and did not leave any heirs when he died (illegitimate children are not counted). Therefore, Nelson's title of Viscount and the title of Baronet conferred in 1798 were discontinued after his death. However, Nelson was awarded another baronetcy in 1801, as well as the Duke of Bronte in the Two Sicilies, which was inherited by his brother, the Reverend William Nelson, the 2nd Lord Nelson and the 2nd Duke of Bronte. Shortly after Nelson's death, the British royal family awarded his brother the title of viscount and earl on November 25, 1805 in gratitude for his contributions during his lifetime, making him the first Earl of Nelson. In this book, this period of history has changed. Horatio Nelson left his direct descendants, so Nelson's Earl and Viscount titles were naturally awarded by the British royal family to his direct descendants and have been passed down. Next, it is the lineage of the protagonist of this book.
