Chapter 377 The Goodwill Released by Old Murdoch

Before the end, George Weah kicked a fairy ball sideways to equalize the score. The Manchester United players walked back to the dressing room tremblingly, waiting for the old man to return.

As a result, the left waiter did not come, and the right waiter did not come. Everyone felt that something was wrong, so Hiller asked Gary to go out to investigate.

Seeing Gary's helpless look, Beckham felt inexplicably happy.

It stands to reason that this guy he has known since he was 15 years old is a motivated and strong person, and such a person will be respected no matter which positive energy team he is in.

However, Gary was either called around by the old players, or was used as a punching bag by the head coach, and he always couldn't get the position that the absolute main force of the national team and the club should have.

Cantona once commented on this phenomenon that happened to Gary Neville: "I think Gary has a cheap temperament, which makes it difficult for him to connect his achievements with himself."

As a result, Gary bumped into Ferguson as soon as he opened the door.

So a scolding came naturally
What a poor guy, Beckham was instantly relieved when he saw Gary being sprayed into autism.

The old man is now in a fit of anger. If no one steps on the thunder, everyone will have to play luck. Under normal circumstances, there will always be one person who will take the blame.

Sure enough, after spraying Gary Neville, most of the old man's anger disappeared, and his speech was not so choking.

According to Beckham's observation, let him find an outlet to vent at this time, and the safety of other people is basically no problem.

Especially when encountering a hard-tongued and cowardly player like Gary, the old man went to the press conference with a peaceful mind after continuing to output.

After Ferguson left, Brian Kidd shared the situation outside the locker room just now: "Just after you entered the locker room, two old men had a quarrel in the player tunnel, and there was physical contact!"

Kidd talked and gestured, and described the scene of the quarrel between the two clubs' head coaches with wit and wit.

While listening to the story, Beckham observed the expression of the team's assistant coach. Although this guy described the conflict between the two as a farce, it could be heard that he admired the old man in his heart.

Old John once mentioned Kidd. In his eyes, this big, somewhat bald man was a so-so kid who always wanted to start his own business.

In Old John's world, after receiving an invitation from Blackburn last season, Kidd ignored Ferguson's dissuasion and took office. As a result, he was dismissed in disgrace after half a season, and finally had to go to the second-tier league as an assistant coach.

Probably because of Manchester United's performance in the past two years, the deputy saw his own shortcomings and found the direction of growth, so he decided to follow the old man for another two years, learn everything he can learn solidly, and then take over a team.

Beckham remembered that the old man once mentioned the situation of England's Mesozoic head coaches. He believed that Keegan was suitable for management but his business ability was not good enough. Hoddle and Kidd's technical and tactical abilities were outstanding among their peers, but their management ability was impressive.

The old man thinks that the best combination is that Keegan and Kidd will jointly coach and work hard in their respective fields, so that the England team will probably be able to form a good combat effectiveness.

The coaching team that England was forced to build in the World Cup in France fully proved that the old man's judgment was reliable. Keegan was in charge of management and only did multiple-choice questions at critical moments. Hoddle was only in charge of technical and tactical aspects and did not participate in personnel work. The England team was still performing well even though it entered the death zone, and almost eliminated the champion Brazil team.

This World Cup has also become the first World Series in which the England team has not been blamed by the media since Beckham can remember.

By the way, Gary was sprayed by the media. Some media enlarged the picture of him crying bitterly, thinking that he was still far from a lion. Anyway, this guy would be the object of complaints, ridicule and blows no matter where he was.

……

The next day, Beckham got the melons of two coaches from the newspaper.

It turned out that the two met on the way back to the locker room. Ferguson accused the other party of taking too long stoppage time. The French said it was the referee's business and asked him not to be too lenient.

Ferguson was not a master who was willing to suffer at the time, and the two finally started pushing and shoving in the player tunnel.

At the press conference, Wenger said that Ferguson just wanted to take advantage of it and was unwilling to suffer losses. He also said that there is no rule to mention that the defending champion cannot encounter super long stoppage time when leading.

Ferguson also strongly stated at the press conference that if Wenger is in the first year of junior high school, don't blame him for being fifteenth.

Seeing Ferguson gnashing his teeth, a reporter had an idea: "Mr. Alex, if there was a bullet, would you choose to hit Mr. Arsene or Roy (Liverpool coach)?"

Ferguson sneered and asked back: "Can't I have two?"

After watching the melons of the two, Beckham asked Old John if the relationship between the two in another world was also so stinky.

Old John said that the two were not familiar with each other in the past few years, and the relationship was still passable.

With Wenger gaining a firm foothold at Arsenal and the team's performance getting better and better, Ferguson's vigilance towards him has increased year by year.

Coupled with the Frenchman's refusal of his invitation to have a drink after the game and other unexplained contradictions, the relationship between the two became incompatible.

Later, Arsenal's performance in the league declined, and the relationship between the two finally eased. The old man also bought a top striker from the Frenchman.

Is this the legendary falling in love and killing each other?
In the afternoon, Beckham received a word from Lloyd, and the other party told him the contract offered by the old Murdoch in an unbelievable tone.

The contract requires Beckham to accept the arrangement of Murdoch's media group, accept a certain number of exclusive interviews every season, attend season promotions, take some commercials when both parties' schedules are suitable, and guest roles in movies.

Of course, shooting commercials and acting in movies all count as extra money.

Lloyd also mentioned that Murdoch hopes that Beckham can write some training diaries or game experience in the "Times" from time to time, so that fans can more intuitively understand the real life of professional players.

This is the general content of the contract, the preliminary offer contract period is 3 years, 1000 million pounds per year.

"Fifty million pounds?"

Beckham was surprised that the old Murdoch made such a generous move. You must know that in the terms of the contract, he did not pay much, and those activities were not a waste of time. It is estimated that he can do it in one rest day.

Unexpectedly, after meeting someone who understood him in the vast crowd, Old John would make such an impulsive decision.

Anyway, judging from the first half of that meeting, the old Murdoch did not show much kindness, but instead put on a posture of "I can praise you, but I can also sell you".

Judging from the atmosphere at the time, Beckham might be half tempted and half coerced into signing a contract that was exploited.

And the content of this contract is like a postcard from the old Murdoch, with a smiling face painted on it and "good luck" written next to it.

For this contract, Beckham is most satisfied with the price. You must know that the first time Coca-Cola signed a contract with him for five years, the annual remuneration is only 300 million pounds. The content of the contract has not improved much after a long time.

He believes that as long as he wants to increase the price, the old Murdoch will probably make some concessions.

But that seems like overkill.

The second thing he was interested in was that the other party proposed to set up a column for him in the newspaper. You must know that this thing is quite powerful. The old man guided the media by writing small compositions on the column, and there were countless successful cases.

Thinking of this, Beckham felt that this contract could be signed.
