Manchester, England.
Ann Carr had been unusually depressed lately.
Ever since he came back from Germany, he hadn't been happy.
As Manchester United's scout, he had scooped up quite a few talented people for Manchester United over the years.
Although not many of them have made it out, at least, in the youth team, the ones he found are all properly talented players.
With Ferguson Sir Alex Ferguson as the gold standard.
No one has ever been able to get away from him.
Except that Chinese, of course.
Thinking of Su, Ann Carr's anger was not in the right place.
Especially when she saw the newspaper in front of her.
Marca!
As the best-selling soccer newspaper in the whole of Europe.
Spain's Marca wasn't just about La Liga, each league in the Premier League had its own section.
And at this moment, on Bundesliga's board.
A huge photo, almost taking up a third of the place.
And the main character of the photo was Chinese who had snubbed him in turn.
One goal and three assists!
Dominated all of FC Schalke 04's goals.
Consecutively broke the record for youngest appearance, youngest start, youngest goal, youngest assist, and youngest assist hat-trick, and even the youngest yellow card multiple Bundesliga records.
Needless to say, the kid was on fire.
The newspaper detailed Su's record at Schalke, even including the fact that he was swept off his feet by Dortmund and then picked up by FC Schalke 04.
Ann Carr had seen Su play live, and knew more about Su than what was written in this paper.
When he received a call from the club in the morning saying that Ferguson Sir Alex Ferguson had something for him, Ann Carr knew it had to be about Su.
Yesterday's game, coupled with Magath's post-match touting, had put Su squarely at the center of today's world football discussion.
For Ferguson, who is a collector of young and extraordinary players, how could he let go of such a super Midfielder prospect.
Cristiano Ronaldo has left for Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, but Ferguson has no intention of retiring.
He was going to build a third generation of Super Manchester United, and there was nothing he needed more than an engine right now.
“Mr. Carr, Sir Alex Ferguson is asking you to come in!”
The young female secretary informed Ann Carr with a smile.
Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.
“Okay..! Thanks!”
The female secretary was okay, but at this point Ann Carr didn't have time to care about why the old man preferred to find this kind of woman.
Especially since it looked like the smile was disgustingly fake.
A little gloating, even?
Turning around, Ann Carr also knocked on the door of Ferguson's office with a trembling voice.
Ferguson's violent temper is known all over the world, Beckham can break his face, this scout of his own, cleaning up this failed scout of his own, is not a matter of words.
“Come in!”
Hearing Ferguson's response, Ann Carr also carefully opened the door to the room.
“Sit down!”
Ferguson, who had a head full of white hair and wore glasses, shouted for Ann Carr to sit down without even lifting her head.
Above Gaffer's head was the same huge photo of the team's family.
There was a young David Beckham, and Paul Scholes, and Giggs....
Perhaps for the old man, the photo was the proudest work of his life.
“Akama called me, that Chinese from The 3.Liga has landed in the Bundesliga and is doing well, isn't he?”
Looking like he was finally done with what he had in hand, Ferguson put down the pen in his hand and looked up at Carr and said.
“Eh .... Right!”
Ann Carr looked at Ferguson's gentle expression and finally breathed a sigh of relief, at the very least the old man was in an okay mood today.
“Last time you said that kid rejected you? I didn't pay much attention to it, what's the situation?”
Last night, Ferguson received a call from Akama, and the caller congratulated him a bunch of times for no reason, which made Ferguson confused for a while.
After talking for a while, he reacted to the fact that Akama was talking about that Chinese he recommended to Manchester United.
And had just made an unbelievable debut in Bundesliga.
In Akama's opinion, there was absolutely no doubt that Manchester United had sent scouts to dig up a kid from The 3. Liga youth team.
Until Ferguson said that Chinese had rejected Manchester United, the excited Akama over there also hung up the phone awkwardly.
However, Akama's words did make Ferguson also came to interest at once.
The old man unprecedentedly opened his computer, which he never used much, and searched the video of Su's match.
Especially after seeing Su's rainbow assist on the right side of the road without raising his head, the old man was so excited that he directly dropped the tea cup in his hand.
In his decades of Manchester United coaching, he has brought out countless excellent disciples, the wing wizard Giggs, super Midfielder Scholes, and even the world's first Cristiano Ronaldo!
But in his heart, there was actually only one person he was most proud of.
That person is David Beckham who was robbed by that damn Victoria!
The precision of his passing, and the free-kick that started the era of The Curved Shot like a Crescent Moon.
That was the most unforgettable part of his Manchester United coaching years.
Manchester United had a golden generation, and there was also Cristiano Ronaldo's rising generation, although he is old, but his heart is not old.
In this era when everyone is singing the praises of Bar?a from passing.
He, Alex Ferguson Sir Alex Ferguson, is all about toppling Bar?a on that altar.
Only now, it's a vital piece of his team's jigsaw that has been missing.
A chip that counts for everything.
And the moment he saw Su pass that ball, Ferguson's heart fluttered.
It seemed that he had found the chip that belonged to him, the engine that belonged to Manchester United!
The attacking third has the impactful Wayne Rooney, with Nani on the left and Valencia on the right.
.....
“En... Yes Sir Alex Ferguson, that ... Um, the kid said ....”
Looking at the stammering Ann Carr in front of him, Ferguson's face got a little upset.
“Did you write a bunch of blank checks again?”
Ferguson's words made the already apprehensive Ann Carr also instantly lower her head.
“Go ahead, bring my sincerity, if come to Manchester United, I'm willing to give him the starting position, provided can he be competent!”
“And, contracts and all that, signing fees and all that, can be unlimited green light, genius clause is also no problem!”
“If you can't negotiate, you stay in Schalke!”
After saying this, Ferguson lowered his head and continued to read the documents on his desk.
There were no excessive words, and even his tone was mild.
But when Ann Carr came out from Ferguson's office, his body was already wet with sweat.
As Manchester United's scout, he enjoyed the most leisurely yet comfortable job.
The salary was the highest in England, and he loved it.
To the female secretary who was still there with her professional fake smile.
Ann Carr picked up the newspaper on her desk, turned around and went straight out of the office door.
“Hello! Book me a ticket to Germany! Right now! Immediately right now!”
