"Tony, it's me, Alex!"

"Hello, Sir Ferguson!"

Tony Pulis smiled and became polite to Ferguson.

He has a good relationship with Ferguson. At least, they will invite their opponents to their head coach's office for a drink after each game, whether at home or away.

Moreover, as one of the few head coaches in England who can be regarded by Ferguson, Tony Price has also gained a lot of advantages from Ferguson's Manchester United. For example, Stoke City's current captain Shockros is from Manchester United.

Shockros failed to play at Manchester United, but he was a veritable defensive star and attracted the attention of many teams.

As a result, Tony Pulis relied on his good relationship with Ferguson and used the method of renting out first and then buying out. Even though Shocross performed very well in Stoke City, the transfer fee was only one million pounds.

Therefore, sometimes, mid- and lower-level teams do not need to compete with top-level teams for financial resources.

Just follow the top team silently and pick up their foreigners, and you will be able to eat and drink without worrying about food and drink.

This is true for Manchester United, and isn't Real Madrid and Barcelona?

Robben, Sneider, Van der Fate, Hunteral, Ibrahimovic...

How many teams have benefited?

It is precisely because of the good relationship that Tony Pulis knew very well what Ferguson meant to call at this time.

"Jazz, if I guess correctly, you're doing the game for the make-up?"

Tony Price's tone was still as calm as ever, but the expression on his face was full of jokes.

If it were before, he wouldn't believe that he was beaten to death. Ferguson actually took the initiative to come to him for help!

You know, before, when did you go to Ferguson to help yourself?

But now, the godfather of the Red Devils Manchester United was forced into such a mess by the saints, and even had to bow down to ask for help from him. It was satisfying to think about it, and it felt so energetic!

Ferguson on the other side of the phone was obviously a little embarrassed to speak, but there was no way. The current situation was no longer controlled by Manchester United. The Red Devils lost too many points and had lost the initiative to win the league championship.

Whether to win the championship depends on the result of this supplementary game!

As long as Stoke City draws Southampton away, Manchester United's championship will be won!

"Tony, I know, you have always been good at defending, and I believe that you will definitely not disappoint all of us this time, what do you think?" Ferguson said very tactfully on the phone.

In fact, his subtext is, Tony, you must play your fine tradition of excellent defense over the past years. Even if you can't beat Southampton away, please tie them and contribute to our Manchester United's championship success!

"Jazz, I believe you are very clear that Southampton's offensive ability is second to none in the Premier League, even in Europe, it is still top-notch!"

Tony Pulis obviously dared not agree immediately.

"I can only promise that I will do my best!"

This is already the highest promise Tony Pulis can make.

Kidding, Southampton has such strong attack power this season, gathering the frontcourt tridents of Ibrahimovic, Neymar and Gareth Bale. Each of these three players scored goals and assists reached double-digit levels.

Also, in the midfield, Vidal scored twice in double digits.

With such an attack lineup, who dares to say that he can definitely stop it?

Ferguson also knew very well that he must make promises from the other party, that would be a tough guy.

"Tony, I know, you are not having a good time in Stoke City now. I know that there are several teams in the mid-range Premier League team that are considering changing coaches. If you are interested, I can recommend it for you."

This is also a big cake thrown by Ferguson.

"As for Southampton, facing such a team, we must try our best to suppress their midfield and force Ibrahimovic to leave the penalty area. Neymar on the left should be treated in a targeted manner."

"Although Gareth Bale on the right, although he has switched to Southampton, he is forced to craft his skills, but if he wants to play the biggest threat, he still has to have room to sprint and cut into the penalty area."

"As long as your defense can make arrangements for these points, I believe there is hope for preventing Southampton's goal!"

Even though Ferguson said so much, he just said that there is hope.

After all, Southampton is too strong in offensive ability and too comprehensive.

Neymar's pass and control belt on the left are all superstar level. Gareth Bale's impact and speed on the right, as well as his significantly improved scoring ability this season, all scared everyone.

In addition, Ibrahimovic, who was steadily not at a disadvantage in the middle, even with one or two.

Let me ask, who can block Southampton's attack lineup?

No matter whether you want to play high or low, no matter what defensive strategy you adopt, the Saints have a way to deal with it.

Especially after introducing Modric this season and forming a double midfielder with Tony Cross, this pair of technical double midfielders made the entire Premier League stunning and trembling.

They are Southampton's engines, continuously providing power to the super attack combination ahead.

So, although what Ferguson said sounds very targeted, in fact, how many teams can be done?

Only a handful of them!

"Jazz, please rest assured, we will do our best to snipe Southampton!"

Tony Pulis once again made his promises solemnly.

Because he knew very well that Ferguson was going to retire.

If I can't win the league championship this season, Ferguson will be empty-handed and leave professional football with great regrets. This is a great humiliation for the arrogant Ferguson!

"Then... please!" Ferguson had to whisper.

Tony Pulis quickly replied: "You are so polite, sir!"

…………

…………

No third person knew about this call that happened in Stoke-on-Trent.

So, in Southampton, south of England, the whole city is happily waiting for the arrival of that sacred moment.

More than a hundred years!

For this trophy of the top English league that countless ancestors dream of, the people in this city have been waiting for more than a hundred years!

Now, they finally have a chance to achieve it!

This is a glory for the saints in Southampton and a memory worthy of their lifetime!

So, the competition has not yet arrived, but the city has already started to boil.

Walking on the streets of Southampton, you can see Saints fans wearing red and white arrow striped jerseys.

Some of them are native citizens of this city, some relocated to other places, but they made a special trip to support the team, and some are international students from all over the world from Southampton and London.

The most surprising thing is that there are many fans from all over the world who come to Southampton specifically!

In order, I just saw this game that I have been waiting for more than a hundred years!

At the Southampton fan gathering place, Saint Harry's bar, everyone was busy in and out, and they were like hard-working little bees, shuttled back and forth.

Rosacea Harry stood in the bar, directing everyone with his signature loud voice.

"Hey, Jack, hurry up and go to the university town and say to the people from the University Saints Fan Branch, we will be lively tonight, organize it first, warm up, and warm up the venue, don't mess it up then!"

"John, go to St. Mary's Stadium immediately and contact them about the tickets. The gap here is too big!"

"Oh, Maria, tonight, there will be many Saints fans from all over the world who will come to our Saints Harry bar to support us. We have to create an atmosphere, so it's best to make them all excited. If we say that we are also in the club's official magazine, don't lose the reputation of the Saints!"

"Oh my God, Judy, what did you do? Didn't I say that? Master Huan's advertisement is a bit bigger and posted in the most conspicuous position? What? Do you say Master Huan likes to be low-key? I tell you, this is already quite low-key, okay?"

As soon as anyone walks into the bar, they can immediately hear the loud voice from Saint Harry.

And... his messy roars are sometimes ridiculous.

But when I saw everyone in the bar busy again, I believe anyone could feel the fanaticism, excitement and expectation from their hearts.

To them, Southampton is no longer just a football club!

That is a faith!

A faith that starts from their ancestors and passes on to them, and they will pass on to their descendants to inherit!

So, this time, they want to make everyone feel the power of the faith of the saints!

"Harry!" John ran to the rosacea.

"How about it?"

"I called and asked, there are no tickets!"

Saint Harry cursed all the time, saying that this is just his catchphrase and is definitely not directed at some people.

"The club has been actively preparing for this event before, so it was launched immediately as soon as the last round of the game ended. All Saints members can grab the game tickets through WeChat. It is said that more than 3,000 foreign guys were stolen!"

"Wow, how much is St. Mary's Stadium? I've divided more than 3,000 photos for foreign fans?"

Saint Harry was unhappy, "If you include more than a thousand Saints fans, the team's season tickets, and the sponsor's representatives..." It is indeed difficult to have any tickets left!

"what to do?"

Saint Harry thought for a while, "I'll call Matthew and ask him to think of a solution quickly. This time we will build the entire St. Mary's Stadium and don't give us more tickets, how can we do it?"

John nodded constantly.
