I am the king of football

Chapter 130 Closed Disciple
"Hello, I'm Qin Hu."

According to Mendes, Qin Hu installed a landline at home as the agent's contact information to the outside world. As for Qin Hu's mobile phone number, it was kept completely confidential. This was naturally to prevent the trouble caused by the leakage of private contact information.

However, since the landline was installed, almost no one has called, and there are few missed calls. Qin Hu doesn't care about privacy and calls back directly on his mobile phone.

"Hello Qin, I'm Ferguson."

A deep and experienced voice sounded from the other end of the phone. When the other party introduced himself, Qin Hu was stunned.

"Ferguson, the manager of Manchester United."

As if to prevent Qin Hu from recognizing the wrong person, Ferguson added another sentence.

"Hello, Mr. Ferguson."

Qin Hu grew up watching the battle between Ferguson and Wenger. When he started watching football at the age of seven or eight, Ferguson and Wenger were fighting each other fiercely.

Although as time goes by, top coaches like Mourinho have come to disrupt the Premier League, there is no doubt that Sir Alex Ferguson, who has been coaching Manchester United since 1986, is definitely the most prestigious business card in the entire Premier League.

Mendes told Qin Hu that Manchester United was very sincere about him and offered him a good contract, but Qin Hu was still surprised that Ferguson called him on his own initiative.

His heartbeat began to quicken, and Qin Hu went to the study and listened quietly to what Ferguson said on the other end of the phone.

"I assume you already know from Jorge that we are very interested in you."

"Yes, sir."

"I also know that you are now faced with a lot of choices, and some clubs may offer better wages and conditions than us."

Unlike what Qin Hu imagined, Ferguson on the phone didn't put on airs at all. His very easy-going way of speaking slowly made Qin Hu less nervous.

"You are very good, Qin. You are really great. To be honest, I never imagined that such an outstanding young man like you could appear in the Championship. I am very proud that you are a player who came out of the youth training of an English club."

"Thank you sir."

"Haha, I'm getting off topic. What I want to say is, Qin, I don't know if this is enough, but I am willing to promise you as the head coach of Manchester United that our expectations of you are definitely more than any other club. My personal expectation for you is to become the core and soul of this team like Ronaldo."

It goes without saying who Ronaldo Ferguson was referring to. When Qin Hu heard that the world-famous coach had put himself on the same level as Ronaldo, it would be a lie to say that he was not excited.

"If you can keep your talent, then come to me. I will teach you how to become a world-class star and train you to be a talent. I will not give up until then."

The news that Ferguson wanted to retire was already widely circulated in 2012. Everyone was predicting that he would bid farewell to his coaching career at the end of this season at the earliest or next season at the latest. Even he himself did not deny this.

However, now, Qin Hu received different news.

"You Chinese like to call the last disciple of a master the last disciple, right? So Qin, do you want to be my last disciple?"

"..."

After saying the last sentence, Ferguson didn't say anything more. He had expressed his sincerity and what he could bring to Qin Hu. Now it was time for Qin Hu to make his own decision.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Hu recalled the superstars who appeared in Manchester United one after another in his memory, as well as the championship trophies that the club won one after another.

The conflicted emotions he had felt because of Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement announcement completely disappeared after he said the words "last disciple". As the temperament of the Red Devils Club was so consistent with the kind of football he pursued, Qin Hu could not think of any reason to refuse.

"See you in Manchester, sir."

"Haha, great! I look forward to seeing you this summer."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Hu still couldn't calm down for a long time. Last summer, he was just a player of an unknown U17 team in China, but now he has received an invitation from one of the top head coaches in the world. This crazy development and the memories along the way made the young man feel like he was dreaming.

Qin Hu took out his cell phone and called Mendes without waiting for a moment.

"Mr. Mendes, I'm Qin Hu."

"Yeah Qin, I knew you would call. How was it? Did you have a good chat with Mr. Fu?"

“Very pleasant!”

"Haha, so?"

"I think we can speed up the negotiations with Manchester United. I want to be there this summer."

"okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Mendes began to contact his team and booked another flight to Manchester. This time, the mystery of Qin Hu's transfer will finally be cleared up.

"So, is the call over?"

Lin Lan quietly pushed the door open and walked in with two cups of warm milk. She was sensible enough not to disturb Qin Hu when he was talking on the phone.

"Well, Lanlan, what do you think of Manchester City?"

"Ah? It's not bad. I've read the introduction to the big cities in the UK. It's also a big city there."

"Yeah, we might move there in the summer."

……

The call with Ferguson and the finalization of the next destination with Mendes did not distract Qin Hu. On the contrary, it gave him considerable motivation and passion.

Although Mendes has already begun negotiating the final terms with Manchester United, there is no doubt that his outstanding performance in every game will become a bargaining chip in negotiations between his agent and the club.

Feelings are feelings and contracts are contracts. These two points cannot be confused.

Therefore, under the astonished attention of the other Hull City players, Qin Hu, who was already the most hardworking in the team's training, became even more crazy and hardworking, which forced the entire team to go crazy with him.

What naturally follows is the team's continued hot form in the league.

In the 3nd round of the league, Hull City played against Brighton, which ranked ninth in the league, at home. Qin Hu scored again in consecutive games. In the 0th minute of the game, he received a pass from Kane and shot from the edge of the penalty area to score a goal. In the end, Hull City won the game at home with a score of -.

In the following 33rd and 34th rounds, Hull City defeated Cardiff City and Blackpool respectively in two consecutive away games.

Qin Hu also scored goals in both games.

He first used a quick counterattack against Cardiff City to dribble past three defenders and score, and then headed the ball to assist Cooper's shot in a corner attack, eventually helping the team to win with a score of 2-0.

Facing Blackpool, who were trying very hard to hold on to one point, Qin Hu scored the winning goal with a stunning shot in the 87th minute that broke the opponent's stubborn bus defense.

So far, the hot-tempered Eastern Tigers have scored in five consecutive league games, and Hull City's league points have reached a terrifying 94 points.

Chapter 2 is here! Thank you for your support!!! Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement ended with a league championship, which was indeed a perfect ending. But we have to admit that the Red Devils did start to go downhill after Cristiano Ronaldo joined Real Madrid. This can be easily seen from the development of Manchester United in the years after Ferguson retired. So, if Ferguson did not retire, but got another talented seedling of Messi and Ronaldo's level, what could he have done? Let's wait and see.
