Did Ferguson create Manchester United or did Manchester United create Ferguson?

It was Ferguson who perfected Manchester United, and it was because of him that so many good prospects were cultivated.

Sir Ferguson (19411231) was born in Glasgow, Scotland. He is one of the most famous and successful football coaches in the world. As a striker, he played for teams such as Deng, Lin and Rangers. His coaching career began in June 1974, and he has coached East Stirling County, Aberdeen and other teams, and led Aberdeen to win the European Cup Winners' Cup. 1986165438+1On October 6th, Ferguson took over from Atkinson and began to coach Manchester United. In nearly 27 years of coaching Manchester United, he led the team to win 38 titles, including 13 Premier League titles and 2 Champions League titles, and coached 1500 games, and won the unprecedented triple crown in 1999. Because of his great contribution to English football, 1999 was knighted by the British royal family at Buckingham Palace. 20 13 on may 8, Manchester United officially announced that after 26 years in charge of the club, manager Ferguson retired at the end of the 12/ 13 season. 2013 on may 19, Ferguson completed the first1500th game of Manchester United, ending the 27-year Ferguson era. 2065438+In April 2004, Ferguson signed a contract with Harvard Business School to teach senior executives enrolled in Harvard entertainment, media and sports business courses.

1986165438+16 October, Ferguson officially succeeded Atkinson and began to coach Manchester United. At the beginning of Ferguson's tenure, Manchester United's performance was mediocre. He lost to Oxford United 0-2 in the first game. At that time, Manchester United was only the penultimate team, so in the first season, he only got the first place 1 1. In the second season, the situation of Manchester United improved obviously, and the team won the second place in the league. But in the third quarter, the ranking fell back to 1 1. After the 1989/90 season, Ferguson fell into an unprecedented crisis. Ji Lian 1-5 was defeated by Manchester city, and the league ranking was only 13, the lowest in ten years. 1989/90 After Manchester United lost 3-0 to Tottenham Hotspur at home in the League Cup, an extreme fan even said, "Three years is an excuse or a waste. Goodbye, Ferguson! " Slogan.

At this time, Ferguson is indeed on the verge of being dismissed. Ferguson later recalled: "The end of 1989 to the beginning of 1990 was the darkest moment when I coached Manchester United. I lost control of the game. It was the most desperate day. This is a miserable world. 1990 65438+ 10, in October, Manchester United played Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup. At this time, there were rumors that if Manchester United lost the game, Ferguson would be fired immediately. In the game, Ferguson sent a young striker mark robins, who scored the winning goal in the game and saved Ferguson's Manchester United career. Then Manchester United made a breakthrough in the FA Cup, and 1990 won the English FA Cup, which was the first trophy for Ferguson in three and a half years, pulling Ferguson back from the edge of class. But Ferguson sneered at Robbins' "rescue": "That was a crucial goal. Don't misunderstand me. Some people say what would happen without it, but I don't think it saved my job. "

Since Manchester United 1990 won the FA Cup, it has been on the right track. The Bruce, parrish, Paul Ince, McClair, Mark Hughes and Dennis Owen that Ferguson bought before have gradually become the pillars of Manchester United. 1990/9 1 season, Manchester United only finished sixth in the league, but made a breakthrough in Europe. They beat Barcelona, coached by cruyff, 2-/kloc-0 in the European Cup Winners Cup, which was the first European championship for Manchester United in 23 years. This champion completely consolidated Ferguson's position, and he led the team to win the European Super Cup that year. However, in the following season (199192), although Manchester United had strong reinforcements such as Schumacher and Kanchelski, it only won the second place in the league, and Ferguson never won the League One championship. While competing for the championship, Ferguson is also concentrating on cultivating the next generation of Manchester United talents. Manchester United's echelon already has the best young players in Britain, such as Beckham, Scholes, Bart and Neville. Giggs made his first appearance for Manchester United on March 2nd of 199 1, when he was still dissatisfied with 18.

1992/93 season, the Premier League was completely reorganized and a brand-new Premier League began. Ferguson wanted to bring in Southampton striker alan shearer at the beginning of the season, but the latter moved to Blackburn. Ferguson chose the Swede Dublin and the Frenchman cantona. Eric cantona led Leeds United to the league title last season, but because of disagreement with the head coach, Ferguson only spent 6,543,800+2,000 pounds to buy Leeds Core. Cantona scored nine goals in 23 appearances for Manchester United in his first season, and more importantly, he brought about a change in temperament to Manchester United. Manchester United have had a bad start to the season. Until April, 1992, they still competed with Aston Villa for the first place. However, in the last seven rounds, Manchester United won the first Premier League title, which was Ferguson's first league title in Manchester United and the first time that Manchester United won the top league title after 26 years.

1993/94 season, Ferguson made the most important signing during his time at Manchester United. Irish roy keane moved from relegated Nottingham Forest and became the best midfielder in the Premier League in the next decade. This season, Ferguson led Manchester United to show a strong dominance in the league, occupying the top position in the standings from the fourth turn to the end of the season. In the FA Cup final, Manchester United beat Chelsea 4-0 and won the double crown. And the club's teenagers Li Sharp and Ryan Giggs also played well, especially the latter scored 17 goals in 58 appearances, which laid the position of Manchester United's main left winger in one fell swoop. Ferguson took Manchester United to the Champions League for the first time this season, but was eliminated by Galatasaray in the knockout stage by scoring away goals.

1994/95 season, Manchester United faced a strong challenge from Blackburn, the upstart of the Premier League. Blackburn are led by former Liverpool legend Dalglish, and the team includes alan shearer, the best striker in the Premier League. Manchester United were behind Blackburn in most seasons, and cantona was banned by the FA for eight months in the match between Manchester United and Crystal Palace on1October 25th, 1995, which made Manchester United worse. Ferguson then brought in English international andy cole from Newcastle for a record $8.5 million, and young players Bart, gary neville and Scholes of Manchester United gradually gained a foothold in the first team. The battle between Manchester United and Blackburn continued until the final round, and Blackburn led Manchester United by two points. Blackburn were defeated by Liverpool in the final round, and Manchester United only need to beat West Ham United to win the Premier League title. However, Manchester United were tied by West Ham away from home and lost the chance to win the championship for three consecutive years. 1995 FA Cup, Manchester United also reached the final, but the final was full of wounded soldiers. In the end, Manchester United was defeated by Everton at Wembley Stadium and spent a season empty-handed.

/kloc-in the summer of 0/995, Manchester United lost many important players. Paul Ince and Kanchelski were sold to Inter Milan and Everton by Ferguson because of their conflict with Ferguson, while captain Bruce joined Birmingham. At the same time, Manchester United has not been supplemented in the transfer market, because Ferguson is determined to fill these positions with young players from Manchester United. In the first game of the league, Manchester United, who used many new players, lost to Aston Villa away 1-3. At that time, alan hansen, a famous Liverpool player and BBC commentator, once asserted: "You can't win the championship by a group of children!" Manchester United's main opponent this season is Newcastle led by Kevin Kevin Keegan. At the beginning of the season, they led Newcastle to 1 1, which is already 0/2 points ahead of Manchester United/kloc. However, Ferguson's team did not give up catching up. After entering February 1996, Newcastle's status declined and it was defeated repeatedly, including being defeated by Manchester United 1-0 at home. 1On April 3rd, 996, Newcastle lost 4-3 to Liverpool at Anfield. After losing this game, which was later rated as the best in the Premier League for ten years, kevin keegan's psychology completely collapsed, while Manchester United kept winning streak in the same period and surpassed Newcastle in one fell swoop. At the crucial moment when the two sides competed for the championship, Ferguson stimulated kevin keegan through various channels. Angry kevin keegan made a public gaffe in a TV interview and growled at the TV camera: "I really don't want to pay attention to him (Ferguson), but he makes me look down. You can tell him now that I am still fighting for the championship and he will visit Middlesbrough and get points. To be honest, if we beat Manchester United, I would like it very much. But this kind of words really makes me unhappy. My interview was broadcast live, not a press conference. I didn't even go to the press conference. The league game is still going on, and Manchester United has not won! " As a result, Newcastle suffered two consecutive draws in the last two rounds, and Manchester United successfully defeated Middlesbrough in the last round and won the Premier League title in 1995/96. In the FA Cup, Manchester United reached the final and beat Liverpool with cantona's 1-0 goal to achieve the double crown again. Ferguson's' 92 rookie has officially become the backbone of Manchester United this season. Scholes 14 goals, Beckham 7 goals, Neville brothers became the main left and right defenders. These young people responded to alan hansen's fallacy with actions.

1In the summer of 1996, Ferguson invited alan shearer again, but Shearer chose to join his hometown team Newcastle. Norwegian Ole Gunnar Solskjaer joined Manchester United as a substitute at a low price of 2.5 million yuan. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer scored in the first game, scoring 19 for the whole team. Another Norwegian, Ronnie Johnson, is also from Turkey. In addition, Manchester United also brought in Dutchman cruyff Jr. and Czech winger Popovschi, who performed well in the European Cup. Manchester United had a poor start to the season, with 1996 and 10 0-5 losing to Newcastle. However, after the new year, Manchester United's performance tends to be stable and has been stable at the top of the league. After Liverpool lost to Wimbledon in the penultimate round of the league, Manchester United won the Premier League title of 1996/97 two rounds earlier. Ferguson's Manchester United also made a breakthrough in the Champions League. The team reached the semi-finals, but was eliminated by Dortmund, who later won the championship. Just as Manchester United was celebrating its fourth Premier League title, cantona, the 365,438+0-year-old Manchester United captain, suddenly announced his retirement, which shocked the world football. The reason is still controversial.

1997, Ferguson faced the problem of cantona leaving, and roy keane took over as captain. 3 1 year-old veteran Sheringham moved from Tottenham Hotspur. 1997/98 season, Manchester United's main opponent was the sudden emergence of Arsenal, which made continuous progress under the leadership of Wenger. In the end, Manchester United was overtaken by Arsenal under the excellent situation of 12 points, ranking second and missing the opportunity of winning three consecutive championships.

1998 In the summer, facing the strong challenge of Arsenal, Manchester United brought in Stam, the main defender of the Dutch team, and York, the striker of Aston Villa. These two transfers set records for the English defender and Manchester United respectively. For Ferguson, Beckham is the most difficult problem. Beckham was once afraid to return to England because he was sent off in the 1998 World Cup match between England and Argentina. Ferguson gave him great support and let him continue to play for Manchester United. Manchester United are United and attack in the League, FA Cup and UEFA Cup. Although Manchester United started the league flat, they remained unbeaten after entering 1999. The newly introduced Stam quickly became the best central defender in the Premier League, and the combination of Cole and York was considered as the best striker combination in Europe, with 53 goals. Manchester United finally beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-/Kloc-0-0 in the final round and regained the league title by three points.

The FA Cup semi-final replay between Manchester United and Arsenal is a historical classic. The score between the two sides was 90 minutes 1- 1. Manchester United captain Keane was sent off, and then Arsenal got a penalty, but Schmeichel actually saved Bergkamp's penalty. In extra time, Ryan Giggs crossed Arsenal's defence from midfield and scored the winning goal, sending Manchester United to the FA Cup final in one fell swoop. This game has also become one of the most classic games in the history of the FA Cup. In the final, United scored one goal each from Scholes and Sheringham, successfully defeating Newcastle, and won the second championship for the team in the 1998/99 season.

Manchester United's Champions League journey this season is also ups and downs. In the semi-final, Manchester United met their old rival Juventus. In the first leg at home, Manchester United barely drew with Ryan Giggs' goal in injury time; However, in the second leg away, Manchester United fell behind 0-2 early, but then Roy Keane, York and Cole scored three goals to complete the big reversal, and once again entered the Champions League final after 3 1 year. The final was held at Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona, and the opponent was Bayern Munich. In the game, Manchester United lacked two main midfielders, Keane and Scholes, and the situation was extremely passive. Bayern still dominated the game most of the time after scoring early in basler, but missed many opportunities to expand the score. Ferguson put all his eggs in one basket at the last minute and sent two substitute strikers, Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, to attack the defence. The magical scene happened in injury time. Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer each scored a goal at the last minute. Manchester United miraculously reversed and won the triple crown. This game has also become an eternal classic in the history of Manchester United and the Champions League. Ferguson achieved the first treble in Manchester United's history, which is the second Champions League champion after 1968. Ferguson reached the pinnacle of his coaching career.

1999, Ferguson was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his unprecedented brilliant achievements in leading Manchester United. In the Premier League of 1999/2000 season, Manchester United's position was unshakable, and finally won the Premier League championship five rounds ahead of schedule. At the end of the season, Manchester United's lead over the second-place Arsenal actually reached an astonishing 18 points. However, Manchester United's performance in the Champions League is not satisfactory. In the quarter-finals, facing Real Madrid, Manchester United lost 2-3 at home and failed to continue the Champions League rule. Manchester United also lost the European Super Cup and the World Club Cup this season, but successfully defeated Palmeiras in the Toyota Cup to win the championship.

In 2000/0 1 season, Manchester United's position in the Premier League remained unshakable, as evidenced by the 6-/kloc-0 victory over Arsenal at home. In the end, Manchester United won the championship four rounds ahead of schedule, leading Arsenal 10 at the end of the season. Completed three consecutive championships.
