Ronaldo and Griezmann tied for the Silver Boot, and Ronaldo also won the Silver Ball.

………………

After arriving in Lisbon, the Portuguese capital, Ronaldo and his teammates cruised every street and alley in an open-top bus.

It is worth noting that Portugal’s championship celebration parade was of high standard. On the open-top bus, the Portuguese players had police motorcycles clearing the way in front of them and police cars behind them.

Thousands of Portuguese fans lined the streets, eager to get up close and personal with their national heroes who had just won the European Cup.

Surrounded by Portuguese players and staff, De Souza lifted the Delaunay Cup, and then he took a group photo with the team!

From this moment until tomorrow morning, the whole of Lisbon will be in a city-wide carnival.

This happy sleepless night belongs to the Portuguese fans, the citizens of Lisbon, and Portugal!

………………

When the European Cup ended, when Portuguese fans fell into carnival, many transfers in international football pressed the accelerator button.

Four days later, on July 7, Manchester, England, Old Trafford Stadium, press conference hall.

Media reporters from all over the world gathered in the press conference hall of Old Trafford Stadium, waiting for the upcoming inauguration ceremony.

In fact, since Manchester United officially announced the change of ownership three months ago on April 4, everyone has been speculating on who will be in the new management of Manchester United?

Over the past three months, many results have been revealed. For example, as the team's new head coach, a rich man from the Middle East chose the famous coach Mourinho. As for the team's youth training team, new boss Jassim chose not to make any changes.

However, the most critical club general manager has yet to announce the result.

However, the all-pervasive media reporters have already dug up a lot of inside information and have locked the target: former Udinese general manager Cristiano Giaretta!

This result is somewhat surprising. After all, Giaretta was not well-known before and had nothing to do with Manchester United. It is also not known that he has any relationship with the new boss.

However, the media is very clear about the outstanding work Giaretta has done over the past few years.

………………

Udinese has won two consecutive Serie A championships, and has also won the Europa League and Champions League consecutively. It is the best performing team in European football in the past three years.

During this period, many new stars emerged in Udinese, including Bruno, Kante, Salah, Cancelo and so on, injecting new power into world football.

Udinese is not only improving in terms of team performance, but it is also a major player in the transfer market and earns a large amount of euros. The profit gained from player transactions alone exceeds 5000 million euros every year. It is called the new generation of European super black shop by fans all over the world. Among them, in addition to the important role played by Udinese head coach Guidolin, the role of the club's general manager Giaretta is also recognized by everyone.

It was he who did a remarkable job of bringing these young talents from all over Europe before they performed so well at Udinese.

But no one expected that Giaretta would become the first club general manager after Manchester United changed ownership.

However, almost all Manchester United fans believe that this man who has done an outstanding job at Udinese and can be said to have discovered Bruno, a great talent in football, will definitely be able to continue his outstanding work at Manchester United and lead Manchester United to achieve renaissance.

During Ferguson's three years in office, Manchester United was not only lackluster in terms of competitive results, but was also criticized in terms of recruitment work. Former CEO Ed Woodward was also often criticized by fans and the media.

In the eyes of the media and fans, Santoku is pretty good in terms of business development, but in terms of player introduction, it is a mess, and he often becomes the victim of the transfer market.

Now, Giaretta, who has a keen eye and has discovered super potential new stars many times in the past few years, has become the new CEO of Manchester United. This will definitely change Manchester United's image in the transfer market in the past few years, which will also promote Manchester United's competitive development. revival.

In particular, the good personal relationship between Giaretta and Bruno will be very helpful for Manchester United to defeat strong opponents such as Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona to sign Bruno, the superstar.

………………

With the Manchester United helmsman in place, matters in other departments of the Manchester United club have also been settled. In the commercial department that has attracted much attention, the new CFO is the former club CEO Ed Woodward.

San Dezi, who had made great contributions to Manchester United's commercial development, switched to the new owner Jassim after Manchester United changed hands. Jassim still had great trust in his business development capabilities, although he was not allowed to continue. As the CEO of the club, he was placed in the position of CFO, which can be said to be making the best use of his talents.

After all, although Sandoko's performance in the transfer market in the past few years has been criticized, his role in Manchester United's business development is still widely recognized.

In the past few years, although Manchester United's competitive results have been mediocre, its commercial income has been growing steadily, and Santoku's outstanding ability in commercial operations is indispensable.

After Middle East Oil Capital took over Manchester United, the new owner has been saying that it will invest at least 2 million euros in player introduction.

However, now that the summer transfer window has been open for nearly a month, the only player Manchester United has actually signed is Ibrahimovic. Although the Swede is also a top superstar in today's football, he is nearly 35 years old after all, and he is visa-free. This is different from previous rumors.

Previously, Manchester United's candidate for the general manager responsible for transfers had not yet been decided, so it was understandable that there was not much action in the transfer market. Now that the personnel are in place, what actions will Manchester United make in the transfer market?

What's especially important is, will Bruno, who has been rumored a lot recently, really come to Manchester United?

There is no doubt that this is the topic that everyone is most concerned about.

………………

After Giaretta delivered his inaugural speech, the topic quickly shifted to Bruno's transfer.

A reporter got straight to the point and asked about the possibility of Manchester United bringing in Bruno this summer.

Giaretta smiled and nodded: "Bruno is the best player in the world. He has proven his strength at Udinese. He won the Ballon d'Or at the age of 21 and became one of the football superstars. He is also the youngest Ballon d'Or winner in history. Players like this are what any top team wants, and we will be no exception."

"So, Bruno is indeed among Manchester United's targets?" another reporter asked.

Giaretano nodded: "Of course, Bruno is our most important transfer target this summer. But the issues involved in the transfer of a superstar of Bruno's level are extremely complicated, and Real Madrid and Barcelona are very interested in him, so We need to be mentally prepared that this will be a long battle.”

Another media reporter reminded Giarretano that Manchester United's rival in the same city, Manchester City's new head coach Guardiola, has also expressed his hope to get Bruno many times in public.

Giarretano smiled and said: "This is not unexpected. As I just said, a superstar of Bruno's level is what any team desires, but I think we have enough attraction. I and I We have had a great relationship with Bruno for four years and I will do my best to bring the best player in the world to Old Trafford."

In a subsequent interview, Giarretano also said that Bruno is a magical player who will always bring success to the team and can also improve his teammates. This is the player United need most if they want to truly revive, and United will make every effort to bring him to Old Trafford.

Giaretta also said that Bruno had told him more than once that he was a Manchester United fan and hoped to play for Manchester United one day. This is also an advantage for Manchester United in competing with other opponents for Bruno.
