Starting with saving Manchester United

Led by captain Vidic, Rooney and his teammates went to the area where the away fans were to thank all the Manchester United fans who came to the stadium.

Although the number of people was small, the shouts of the Red Devils fans at Camp Nou were unusually shrill at that moment.

This made the Manchester United players on the field feel incredibly excited, even proud!

What a glorious and honorable thing it is to walk out of Camp Nou with your head held high!

At first, Barcelona fans were somewhat unable to accept it and fell silent, but soon a deafening chorus of boos erupted.

The game is already lost, why don't you unpopular guys get out of here?

As they walked step by step toward the players' tunnel with their teammates, they saw Yang Fan standing at the entrance of the tunnel waiting for them.

A long-lost feeling quickly welled up in Rooney and his teammates' hearts.

When the old knight was still alive, he liked to welcome them back in triumph like this!

At this moment, when they saw Yang Fan on the sidelines, they were even a little dazed.

But as they got closer, they could see it clearly.

Especially Rooney.

From the very beginning, he disliked Yang Fan; in fact, he was quite opposed to him.

He still clearly remembers that when he first met Yang Fan in private, he didn't give Yang Fan any face at all and didn't say a word.

What skills can someone who is parachuted in through connections possibly have?

This was Rooney's thought, and indeed everyone in the Manchester United dressing room at the time.

They would rather have someone like Giggs, one of their own, rise to power than accept someone like Yang Fan, who came through connections.

But gradually, through repeated conversations and changes, especially after one match after another, Rooney's thinking began to shift.

Yang Fan is indeed a complete novice when it comes to football, a nepotism hire who was parachuted in, and very young...

But he did actually do things, he really did change Manchester United little by little, and he saved this powerhouse from falling to its lowest point in history in just six months!

Most importantly, he succeeded!

With a home win against Manchester City and an away win against Barcelona, ​​Yang Fan has at least secured his position as manager of Manchester United with this recent five-game winning streak!

Most importantly, Rooney was truly impressed!

Thinking of this, Rooney had already walked up to Yang Fan.

The Englishman suddenly remembered their first conversation.

"Wayne, how do you hope Manchester United fans will view you ten years from now?"

Now, Rooney has found the answer!

When everyone reached the players' tunnel, Rooney took the lead and walked quickly ahead of Yang Fan. He first extended both hands and took Yang Fan's outstretched right hand.

After grasping his hand, Rooney took another step forward, opened his arms, and hugged Yang Fan tightly.

"Well done, Wayne, you've worked hard!"

"Thank you for everything you've done, Yang!"

As Yang Fan was somewhat surprised by Rooney's words, the Englishman had already turned around and quickly entered the players' tunnel.

Following Rooney's example, the other players came over one after another to shake hands with Yang Fan, and some even hugged him.

This scene unfolded right before the eyes of all the Manchester United fans who had come to the away game, as well as the Class of '92 players.

Manchester United fans are thrilled!

Giggs and the others all had drastic changes in expression.

"After tonight's game, this bastard has completely secured his position as Manchester United manager," Giggs said helplessly.

"He is out of danger at least until the end of this season."

Gary Neville and the others looked indignant, but they had to admit the truth.

With Woodward's strong support, and now with the support of the locker room led by Rooney and Van Persie, who can shake Yang Fan's position as manager?

Woodward, standing in the President's Stand at Camp Nou, was equally thrilled to witness this scene.

"Did you see that, Jazz? The players are all supporting Yang Fan. This kid really hasn't disappointed me. Goodness, he's much better than Moyes!"

Ferguson initially smiled and nodded repeatedly.

But when Woodward mentioned Moyes, the old gentleman's expression changed instantly.

Moyes was his handpicked successor!

But who would have thought that this guy would make such a mess of things?

Now, even Ferguson has completely lost face.

More importantly, it's about having a voice.

If Ferguson's handpicked successor can smoothly take over Ferguson's power, then Ferguson's position at Manchester United will remain as solid as a rock.

What now?

Although he is still serving as an advisor to the transfer team, who can say for sure how much power this advisor actually has?

Especially when dealing with troublemakers like Van Gaal.

He's a famous coach, but he has a terrible temper.

Needless to say, Van Gaal will only need to say something like, "You have good judgment, but what about Moyes back then?"

How should Ferguson respond?

Upon this thought, Ferguson suddenly realized that having Yang Fan continue as Manchester United's manager might not be such an unacceptable bad idea after all.

At the very least, Yang Fan has no foothold in the world of football.

"Yang Fan did a really good job!" the old knight said with a nonchalant compliment.

In Woodward's view, this was already a very high compliment.

"Yes, but it's a pity, he's not the world-class coach the club wants!"

World-class coach?

Ferguson immediately picked up on the signal.

This was clearly not Woodward's idea, but rather a request from the United States.

Manchester United is a top club, so naturally they would choose a world-class manager.

At the very least, the data allowance is guaranteed.

"If he can lead the team to the semi-finals this season, or even further and into the finals, I think he's pretty good. Besides, he's a player developed by the club, and his media attention is in no way inferior to any famous coach."

Woodward's eyes lit up.

Who said no?

The fact that a 25-year-old rookie became Manchester United's manager is itself a huge source of attention.

It's only temporary now, but what if it becomes permanent?

But Woodward quickly came to his senses and looked at Ferguson with some surprise: Sir, isn't your stance changing a bit too quickly now?

"You have to achieve something first before you talk about anything else!" Woodward said with a slight smile.

If Yang Fan stays in charge and can maintain the team's stable performance, then Woodward will be able to free up his time to properly sort out and reorganize Manchester United's current management system.

At the very least, the relationships between the club's various departments and organizations need to be straightened out.

……

From the player tunnel to the locker room, and then from the locker room to the press conference hall, Yang Fan's smile never stopped, and he never stopped talking.

Either someone congratulated him, or he was acknowledging the player's efforts and performance.

When he arrived at the press conference room, he happened to run into Messi and Martino coming out.

Just now on the field, due to our respective positions, we didn't greet each other properly.

Now, behind the scenes, Messi took the initiative to come over and shake hands with Yang Fan.

Unfortunately, Messi doesn't speak English; he only knows some very basic spoken English.

But Yang Fan could tell that the Argentine was praising his performance in the match against Manchester United.

After seeing Messi and Martino off, Yang Fan entered the press conference room at Camp Nou.

Unexpectedly, he was met with another humiliating defeat.

"Mr. Yang, don't you think Smalling's foul on Messi in the penalty area should have been a penalty?"

As Yang Fan sat upright on the main stage, he suddenly understood why Mourinho or Ferguson often lashed out at the media.

That's absolutely inhuman!

They've won the game and are overjoyed, why do you have to sabotage them like this?

Most importantly, you should ask if you can save that question for later.

Is this the first thing they do?

More importantly, Yang Fan recognized this guy.

"I remember you. You were the first person to ask a question in Manchester yesterday afternoon. Which newspaper are you from?" Yang Fan's tone was somewhat impolite.

"From World Sports Daily," the other party said fearlessly.

"Understood. Go back and apply for funding from your editor-in-chief to have your eyes checked at the best eye hospital in Spain. I just watched the replay of the game in the locker room, and everyone could see it clearly. It wasn't just a penalty kick."

Yang Fan said this with a regretful tone, "Eyes are a wonderful thing, it's just a pity you don't have them!"

An uproar immediately erupted at the scene.

Many people even started to gloat and stir up trouble.

Go for it, bro! Yang Fan's calling you blind!

Keep biting him!

It would be best to start fighting right there on the spot.

Before the World Sports reporter could launch an attack, Yang Fan added another kick.

"You may have forgotten how I answered the question you asked me yesterday in Manchester?"

"I said, if there hadn't been any diving or misjudgments, we would have won at Camp Nou, and look what happened..."

Yang Fan spread his hands helplessly, as if to say: I didn't want to win either, but my strength wouldn't allow it!

The reporter from World Sports Daily was both angry and annoyed, but was so bombarded with criticism that he couldn't say a word.

Did you actually say that back then?

Everyone around could see that the guy from World Sports Daily was too weak!

Definitely a weakling!

To Yang Fan's surprise, the next reporter to ask a question came from the Daily Sports newspaper, and he was still concerned about the referee's performance.

Yang Fan did not directly answer the question of whether the referee's decision was right or wrong.

This is beyond dispute.

"Controversial refereeing decisions? Some people like to talk about these things, but we just do our job and play a great game. Sometimes you win or you lose, that's normal. But whenever we win, there are always people talking about the referee."

"That's slander against us!"

After speaking, Yang Fan extended his hand, making a gesture of invitation.

baffling!

What does all that gibberish mean?

A buzz of discussion immediately broke out below.

Especially Spanish media journalists.

and many more!

Wait, why does this sound so familiar?

Who said that?

Soon a reporter shouted, "After the Manchester City game, I think it was either Pique or Xavi who said it."

The scene fell into a deathly silence.

That boomerang came way too fast!

The Catalan journalists looked absolutely delighted.

When Barcelona played Manchester City, there were some controversial refereeing decisions during the match, and some Barcelona players made these remarks to the media.

Yang Fan has returned it to Barcelona exactly as it was!

Now, tell me, do you still question the referee?

All the media reporters present truly felt at a loss.

Spanish journalists, in particular, were practically bursting with frustration.

So you want to win not only on the field, but also at press conferences!

Are they really unwilling to suffer even the slightest loss?

The most outrageous thing is that the interview was conducted more than a month ago, how do you still remember it?

The Catalan journalists felt utterly disgusted, as if they had swallowed flies, yet they couldn't bring themselves to vomit.

This feeling of frustration, having nowhere to vent their anger, is driving them crazy!

Yang Fan, are you a devil?

……

The press conference ended quickly.

At least the Barcelona players could win possession on the field, but the Catalan media were utterly defeated at the press conference.

The kind that doesn't even struggle.

On the contrary, Yang Fan walked out of the press conference hall with a smile on his face.

Only after he left did bursts of Spanish profanities erupt from the press conference room.

But all of this has nothing to do with Yang Fan anymore.

Just as Yang Fan walked out of the press conference hall, preparing to head to the locker room to meet up with the players, a figure chased after him from the press conference hall.

A familiar, urgent Mandarin voice came from behind me.

"Mr. Yang, please wait a moment."

The moment Yang Fan heard the voice, he felt as if he had been electrocuted. He turned around abruptly and saw the unfamiliar "old acquaintance".

Zhang Han?

It really is Zhang Han!

No, you time-traveled too?
