Star card system

The salary has been increased, and Pogba is satisfied.

But Mourinho started to have a headache.

Such a high-paid player will be even harder to manage next.

I originally wanted to strictly manage the team in the new season, especially Pogba and Martial.

Now that the two have renewed their contract with a high salary, what will happen next?

What a headache...

Manchester United's generosity is only aimed at these young players, especially offensive players, and is not so friendly to some people.

Two players are expiring this season with one year left on their contracts.

Right back Valencia, midfielder Herrera.

Even though Manchester United is very generous to Pogba and Martial, it is a little fussy about Valencia and Herrera.

Regarding the contract extension of the two, the club did not even take the initiative to talk about it.

It stands to reason that since we are discussing contract renewal together, we should talk about it together.

but.

In the end, it was Valencia's agent who found Manchester United.

Manchester United is not very concerned about the 33-year-old Valencia's contract extension.

Even if the salary is reduced, there is no intention to keep him.

This made the veteran feel a little chilled.

Finally, they did not reach a new contract extension with Valencia this summer.

Valencia will leave the team next summer.

And Herrera was very dissatisfied with the club. He even told his agent not to take the initiative to talk to the club about contract renewal.

In the end, I don’t know if the club forgot or didn’t care at all. Anyway, it was as if the renewal of Herrera’s contract did not exist.

Herrera has also asked his agent to help him contact his next employer in advance.

Anyway, he already has the honor of six championships, and Herrera's competitive level and professional attitude are obvious to all. He has no shortage of admirers, and most of them are from wealthy teams.

This made Mourinho even more dissatisfied, and he even had a quarrel with the club's sports department.

Valencia and Herrera are very important to the team.

Even with the young Dalot now, veterans still need to lead the team and gain experience.

After all, the Portuguese youngster is only 19 years old and has not seen many big scenes.

And Herrera is in the prime period of his career and in good shape.

Letting such a player leave on a free transfer is really something only a fool would do.

But there are many things that Mourinho cannot decide, and he can only accept the reality.

Mourinho is worried about the future of the team, and Xia Xing is also full of worries.

The departure of the three veterans made Xia Xing very sad.

The two captains, as well as Ibrahimovic, are very important to Manchester United.

The competitive level is one thing, but more importantly, the mental level.

In the current Manchester United team, this fighting spirit of the Red Devils needs to be passed on.

After they left, Manchester United lacked the blood of the Mesozoic Red Devils.

Although he will definitely become the team's new captain, even so, his intimidation in the team is still not enough, far less than Rooney and Ibrahimovic.

The new season is approaching, and the team is full of big names. Pogba and Martial may not necessarily be convinced of their new captain.

No, they won't be convinced.

These things cannot be accomplished by relying on personal skills and charisma.

Some people's character and character are innate and cannot be changed.

Without several veteran players, Xia Xing is under great pressure to take charge of the team in the new season.

Carrick stayed on as an assistant coach, which comforted Xia Xingchao.

This is still a mental problem, and the competitive problem is also huge.

Xia Xing understands Mourinho's concerns better than he does, and even feels more uncomfortable with them.

Without good teammates, the most awkward thing is the player on the field, the captain Xia Xing.

Fred is here in the midfield. He has excellent running ability and comprehensive offensive and defensive skills, which is not bad.

But the front line is in trouble.

Without Ibrahimovic and Rooney, it will be very troublesome to know where to go in the new season.   Lukaku is unable to stand alone and lacks control in big scenes.

Sanchez has had his ups and downs and is older.

Rashford has potential and talent, but still lacks stability.

Martial, forget it, skip it.

Manchester United's attacking line will definitely have a lot of trouble in the new season...

Originally, this summer was a relaxing summer for Xia Xing.

After all, he has no national team games, but he is not easy either.

All kinds of business activities are coming and going one after another, and it is overwhelming.

Although Xia Xing doesn't like these business activities, it is the only way for him and the company's development.

Although Aliona provides external support, Xia Xing still has to step in on many occasions.

After all, he is the company's number one and the hottest star in international football.

Especially after leading the team to win six championships, Xia Xing is now simply the brightest cherry on the cake of international football.

Even the French team that won the World Cup could not hide the light of Xia Xing.

Business elites, political tycoons, football executives, and top figures in various fields have all become Xia Xing's guests.

No, it should be said that Xia Xing became their guest.

As Xia Xing's reputation grew, so did the company's financial strength.

He is really not short of money now.

Last year, the company's annual revenue was around 20 billion euros, which doubled several times and grew rapidly.

That's why Xia Xing doesn't care about his income from the club.

If he wanted to, he could even consider buying Manchester United in a few years.

So before the Champions League final, when the club approached him to negotiate a contract extension, he didn't even ask for much salary increase, but just extended the contract until the summer of 2022.

Even his salary is not as good as Pogba's salary increase later.

But Xia Xing didn't care.

Rich is self-willed.

He just wants to play football and enjoy the joy of football now.

As for making money, let’s talk about it after retirement.

Anyway, Aliona is in control of the company now.

Before the team training date, Xia Xing returned to Manchester early.

There are matters regarding the company's business activities that need to be dealt with.

After handling the relevant matters, Xia Xing held a small dinner party at his home.

The people attending the dinner were all acquaintances.

Mourinho.

Mendez.

Carrick.

Perrin.

Plus siblings Aliona and Xia Xing.

There were seven people in total, no outsiders.

This summer trip did not involve cooking, but a traditional Chinese barbecue in the courtyard.

All the raw materials are selected from the best, and the seasonings are all flown back from China, so they are authentic.

Xia Xing started baking it himself, while Aliona helped out virtuously.

Although the relationship between the two has not been confirmed yet, everyone has already acquiesced in the relationship, including themselves.

It's just that Xia Xing is a dull guy when it comes to feelings and isn't very good at expressing them. Aliona is not in a hurry to rush him, and the two of them just enjoy the closeness.

Anyway, with a top businesswoman like Aliona by her side, no vixen would blindly get close to Xia Xing.

You know, Aliona even has connections with the British Razor Party and the Italian Mafia.

The seven people were having fun and chatting about interesting things in life.

However, the topic still unconsciously moved in the direction of football... (End of this chapter)
