1078 Old Friend Has an Appointment with the Tavern
Inside a tavern in Manchester, England!
This was a very remote tavern. It wasn’t a big place and there weren’t many people.
Almost all of them were yellow-skinned East Asians, and a few white blacks followed their East Asian friends here.
At the innermost window sat three people. One of them was a typical blonde, black-haired East Asian. The other two were both white. One of them looked very young and handsome, while the other had a very hideous scar on his face!
Yes, the two white men are Manchester United’s Joan Gourcuff and Franck Ribery.
Sitting opposite them was Leeds United’s head coach Zhong Cheng.
Today was the second day after the end of the competition!
Zhong Cheng did not leave Manchester as soon as possible because two former Leeds United players shook their heads and chatted with him.
At the same time, last night, Zhong Cheng took the time to go to Alex Ferguson’s house for a drink.
Today, Franck Ribery and Joan Gourcuff had joined forces to meet Zhong Cheng!
Although Franck Ribery and Joan Gourcuff had left Leeds United, their relationship with Zhong Cheng was quite good.
Now that Zhong Cheng had come to Manchester with great difficulty, they naturally had to do their best as landlords.
Of course, there were three more players who had played for Leeds United and now play for Manchester United, and one was Pascal Zimbonda, who did not show up today.
His manager and Zhong Cheng were very unhappy before, so Pascal Qimbonda had no connection with Zhong Cheng, and their relationship was not good now.
Zhong Cheng smiled at the two of them and said, “How did you choose this place?”
Franck Ribery immediately said, “Haha, boss, this place is quite special!”
From the moment he entered, Zhong Cheng had already seen clearly that this place was indeed quite special!
Not to mention the appearance and identity of the customers who came here, the things sold in this tavern were also very special. In this part of the continent, this tavern sells not brandy, Raffaele, and Card, but all kinds of Chinese liquor, and most likely his home-brewed bulk liquor.
Moreover, the food here was not for buying bags of red sausages or anything else. What was sold was more for some Chinese food, such as what kind of stewed food was boiled? There are also spicy crayfish and dry pot and so on.
Of course, Zhong Cheng casually took a quick glance. The best seller here should be the stewed beef he made himself.
This was really very special!
Zhong Cheng naturally knew why Franck Ribery and Yoan Gourcuff chose this place. Obviously, this was specifically for him.
Zhong Cheng said, “Thank you, I have troubled you!”
Zhong Cheng put a piece of sauce beef into his mouth and chewed it carefully. It was indeed different from the stewed beef from other places. The taste was very different, the taste was stronger, and it was chewy but not soft. The taste was really very good, at least it was very suitable for Zhong Cheng’s taste.
Zhong Cheng was very satisfied with the performance of Franck Ribery and Yoan Gourcuff.
Zhong Cheng said indifferently, “You two are really troublesome. Isn’t this place hard to find?”
“It’s really hard to find,” Franck Ribery said. “We came here occasionally to find it. We used to eat Chinese food at the boss’s house. After coming here, we went to many Chinese restaurants, but the taste was not pure. It was still reliable for us to eat at the “Bell Restaurant”. “However, this one is not bad either. Occasionally, we will find that we often come here now!”
Joan Gourcuff immediately said, “So we’re here today, and we think you’re going to love it!”
Zhong Cheng gave Yoan Gourcuff a thumbs up, then pointed at the beef on the table and said, “You guys eat it too. This beef is really good! Even in China, it’s a very powerful stewed beef. You guys are really lucky to be able to find this restaurant!”
The two of them also nodded slightly, indicating that they were indeed lucky.
Franck Ribery and Zhong Cheng immediately started to eat and drink.
Today, there was nothing special about them meeting Zhong Cheng. They were just meeting Zhong Cheng to communicate with each other. To put it bluntly, they were just eating and drinking.
Franck Ribery and Zhong Cheng did their best to treat Zhong Cheng to a meal.
During the banquet, Zhong Cheng asked, “How do you feel about coming to Manchester United?”
Franck Ribery said indifferently, “Not bad, but not as good as Leeds.”
Zhong Cheng looked up at Franck Ribery and didn’t say anything.
Joan Gourcuff said: “But I think it’s good. Sir Alex Ferguson’s tactical and disciplinary requirements are not the same as yours, boss. He did get used to it for a long time when he first came. But I feel good and now I’m used to it. Manchester United are good and I think it’s good!”
Zhong Cheng looked at Yoan Gourcuff. Just as he opened his mouth, his words were interrupted by Franck Ribery’s quick mouth.
Franck Ribery immediately said: “Goodbye, Manchester United are not as good as you think. Alex Ferguson kept his pockets too tight and I think something will happen sooner or later. David Beckham probably couldn’t take it anymore and left on his own!”
Zhong Cheng was slightly stunned, and then understood. It seemed that Alex Ferguson had a tight grip on the record!
Joan Gourcuff immediately said: “I think Sir Alex Ferguson is doing a good job of keeping a team in his hands and in every detail so that we can do well this season. Sir Alex Ferguson is at least right to be here!”
Obviously, Franck Ribery didn’t take it seriously!
Zhong Cheng smiled. This was Franck Ribery’s personality, it was not easy to control!
It could be seen that Franck Ribery was still somewhat resistant to Alex Ferguson’s methods. Perhaps this fellow wouldn’t be able to stay here for long either!
Seeing what Franck Ribery wanted to say, Zhong Cheng immediately said at gunpoint, “Yoan is right. Sir Alex Ferguson can succeed. He has accumulated a lot of experience over the years. It is not wrong!”
Zhong Cheng was a great benefactor to Franck Ribery. Franck Ribery trusted and respected Zhong Cheng very much. Zhong Cheng had already said that, but he didn’t say anything else.
“Perhaps,” said Franck Ribery, “but I’m not used to him anyway!”
Zhong Chengshi chuckled and said, “So, there are almost no stabs in Manchester United because they were chased away by Alex Ferguson!”
Franck Ribery immediately clapped his hands and said, “You see, the boss is awesome! You see so thoroughly!”
Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, “It’s not that I can see through it, but I know Alex Ferguson. After all, he is our main competitor for Leeds United. I have to get to know him well. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let you guys be so passive yesterday!”
Yes, Manchester United were very, very passive yesterday. If not for their good luck in the end, Manchester United would have lost yesterday.
Yes, in the end Leeds United also failed to beat Manchester United.
Of course, Manchester United did not win because Franck Ribery scored with a direct free-kick and the two teams drew.
Zhong Cheng continued, “I can make Alex Ferguson so passive, mainly because he has been in this industry for more than 20 years, he left behind too much information and traces, enough for us to study and analyze.” I’ve only been in this business for a few years, and there are too few things and traces left behind. Alex Ferguson is like a thorough research and analysis of me, and he can’t come up with anything particularly detailed, because I still have a lot of things to show … ”
Both Franck Ribery and Joan Gourcuff stared at Zhong Cheng with widened eyes.
They hadn’t expected that as a head coach, it would be so complicated. Did Zhong Chengzhen study all of Alex Ferguson’s records for more than twenty years?
If that was the case, Zhong Cheng would really be too formidable, too awesome!
Both Franck Ribery and Joan Gourcuff gave Zhong Cheng a thumbs up. Then Yoan Gourcuff immediately said to Zhong Cheng, “No wonder the boss succeeded. This is amazing!”
Zhong Cheng gently waved his hand and said, “Stop flattering me. It’s useless. Now, you guys are no longer under my control!”
Joan Gourcuff immediately said, “This isn’t flattery. You’re really, really powerful!”
Franck Ribery immediately said, “Yes, very powerful!”
Zhong Cheng immediately said, “Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. You guys should drink less wine!”
Of course, Franck Ribery and Joan Gourcuff did not drink much either. They were still in the competition and were not allowed to drink too much.
Of course, Zhong Cheng didn’t drink too much today. He usually didn’t drink much!
This time, he drank as much as he liked when he met Franck Ribery and the others, but he didn’t dare to drink too much.
Zhong Cheng and Franck Ribery didn’t have anything serious to do when they met, they just talked about the past. After finishing his meal with the two of them, Zhong Cheng bid them farewell.
After bidding farewell to the two of them, Zhong Cheng immediately brought the Leeds United players to Leeds.
Zhong Cheng knew that while he was having dinner with Franck Ribery, there were some players in the Leeds RUF who went to see other players. In fact, it was Cristiano Ronaldo who went to see Alex Ferguson, and even Cristiano Ronaldo took some of his teammates to see Alex Ferguson.
As for who it was, Zhong Cheng did not probe into it.
Ever since the news of Cristiano Ronaldo was reported in the media, the minds of the Leeds United team had already fluctuated. Now, Zhong Cheng did not want to pay any attention to it. As long as they did what they were doing now, everything would be discussed after the end of the season.
Zhong Cheng glanced at the Leeds United players and smiled.
Sometimes, the team’s matters should not be so tightly grasped. Just like Franck Ribery said, he could not adapt to Alex Ferguson’s style. Zhong Cheng did not want to be Alex Ferguson’s second. It would be good if he relaxed properly!
