From the man behind the football king to the football king.

Chapter 382 The Influence of the Double Red Society
As soon as the game ended, Bruno became the focus of the media because he played so perfectly in this game. His performance well explained the concepts of "core of midfield", "hub of midfield" and "field commander".

"If anyone still doesn't know what a qualified midfielder is, let's take a look at Bruno's performance in this game!" The commentator of the famous British TV station Sky Sports was also impressed by Bruno's performance in this game. Impressed.

When doing a league analysis program before the season, this commentator was a guest. He was not optimistic about Manchester United's prospects. He believed that there were many bosses who would spend money, but football does not mean that the richer the more successful they will be. .

Chelsea owner Abramovich spent so much money in the first few years when he took over Chelsea, but apart from bringing two Premier League championships to the Blues, the Blues did not win any championships in European competitions. They finally became European champions, which they achieved through a long period of accumulation.

Coincidentally, Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour and Paris Saint-Germain owner Nasser spent so much money, but did Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain win the European Champions Cup?
As for Manchester United, although this team was originally a giant, since Ferguson retired, the former top giants have fallen into silence, giving people a feeling of decline.

It is impossible for such a declining team to be revived immediately just because it has a boss with a net worth of 80 billion euros.

At that time, he asserted that the team's goal this season should be to compete for the Champions League. As long as they can participate in the Champions League next season and then regain the Premier League championship within four to five seasons, then this team can be considered a success.

Who would have thought that Manchester United's performance would be so eye-catching at the beginning of the new season.

………………

The previous results can be said to be that Manchester United took advantage of the schedule, and their opponents were all weak teams. However, after Manchester United defeated the two powerful teams of Manchester City and Liverpool and won eight consecutive victories in the Premier League season, Manchester United's success can no longer be ignored.

First of all, the boss has money. Modern football is no longer the world it was fifty years ago. You can't play without money.

A wealthy owner who is willing to invest is what all teams dream of, and now Manchester United already has it.

Money is the foundation of football. If an ordinary football fan wants to play football, he still has to spend money to buy footballs and sneakers, let alone professional football?
Not every wealthy club can succeed, but a club without money will definitely not be able to win the championship. This is the characteristic of modern football.

In addition to having money, Manchester United's boss also plans to create a very good hardware environment for the club. The Manchester United Carrington training base renovation and Old Trafford stadium reconstruction plan with a total investment of up to 12 billion pounds has been officially launched.

At the beginning of October, Manchester United announced the upgrade and renovation project of the Carrington training base and the reconstruction project of the Old Trafford stadium.

The one that has attracted the most attention is the reconstruction project of Old Trafford Stadium.

………………

Originally, Jassim's team had three plans, namely the renovation and reconstruction of the Old Trafford Stadium, and the construction of a brand new stadium.

After careful consideration, Jassim decided to rebuild a world-class stadium at the location of Old Trafford. However, this reconstruction plan is somewhat different from the White Hart Lane stadium reconstruction plan currently underway.

In the first two years of the reconstruction of Old Trafford, Manchester United will not move out of Old Trafford, but all games will continue to be played at Old Trafford.

It will not be until the third and final year of the rebuilding project that Manchester United will not play at Old Trafford.

During this year, Manchester United will complete the construction of the main building of the new stadium as quickly as possible, and then complete follow-up work such as decoration.

According to the plan, this reconstruction plan will start in early 2017, and various preparations will be carried out in the next two years. Then Manchester United will stop playing games at Old Trafford in early 2019. The Old Trafford Stadium will complete all construction work in the next year to a year and a half, allowing Manchester United to move into the new stadium for games at the beginning of the 2020-2021 season.

The entire reconstruction project will cost approximately £11 billion.

In addition, Jassim will invest 1 million pounds to comprehensively upgrade the Carrington training base and transform it into one of the most advanced training bases in the world.

………………

In addition to a good hardware environment, Jassim also spent a lot of money to build an excellent software-coaching team for the team.

Mourinho, one of the best coaches in world football today, and his coaching team were hired by Jassim with a sky-high annual salary of 1500 million pounds.

After possessing these, Jassim gave head coach Mourinho full autonomy in the construction and management of the team. In the transfer market, although the people Manchester United bought this summer were all proposed by general manager Giaretta, it was Mourinho who made the final decision, and all Jassim had to do was to pay and sign the check. .

Therefore, judging from the players of Manchester United, they are all very suitable for this team. Except for Bruno, the new FIFA Ballon d'Or winner, the others are not well-known, but they have strength that cannot be underestimated. And they have fully proved this in the first eight rounds of the league.

Speaking of players, we have to focus on Bruno, who spent 200 million euros on the club this summer and set a transfer record in football history.

Previously, the media was very puzzled by Manchester United's spending so much money to buy Bruno, and even slammed Jassim for spending the money randomly. How can these club presidents who spend so much money to buy a player be embarrassed?
………………

Granted, Bruno is the winning captain who led Udinese to the Serie A title, the Europa League and the Champions League, even ended Messi and Ronaldo's Ballon d'Or dominance, and performed brilliantly at this summer's European Cup. , can be called one of the best players in current football.

But after all, he is not yet twenty-two years old, and the future is still full of uncertainty. Under such circumstances, is he really worth 200 million euros?

You know, before Bruno, the international football transfer market had always been at the level of tens of millions of euros. Although Bell set a record of 100 million euros when he moved to Real Madrid three years ago.

But in the following three years, there was no more €100 million transfer in international football.

But now Bruno has directly doubled this transfer record, which has also brought the international football transfer market directly into the era of 200 million euros.

Some media simply questioned whether Bruno's agent Mendes had any private agreement with Mourinho, saying it was 200 million euros. In fact, a large part of the kickbacks went into the pockets of Mourinho and Mendes.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in European football. Some well-known head coaches have been exposed to scandals of teaming up with their agents to take kickbacks.

This kind of doubt about Bruno's personal ability has always existed.

Although a high net worth can satisfy Bruno's vanity, it also puts heavy pressure on him. If he fails to show the ability that is consistent with his worth, then the criticism will come overwhelmingly and completely drown him.

A few years later, when Bruno is struggling in low-level teams in low-level leagues, people recall the aura of "world football transfer record" he once created. I wonder what they will think?
Fortunately, this scene has not happened yet.

Bruno's performance in the new Premier League season has impressed many people, and those previous doubts are now much smaller. Maybe some people will still doubt his worth, but at least no one will think that Bruno is a parallel import. ………………

The team's big victory over their powerful rival and mortal enemy Liverpool put Bruno in a good mood. Although he could always hear the personal threats against him from those radical Liverpool fans in the final stages of the game, he did not take it to heart.

Bruno, who was surrounded by reporters from all over the world, smiled happily and answered all the questions raised by the reporters.

Of course, he did not arrogantly attribute all the victory to himself. He said that the team's victory was all due to the team, and even head coach Mourinho's contribution was much greater than his.

You can't say he was being modest, because he was telling the truth.

Without Mourinho, he would never have performed so well in the game because he wouldn't even be the core around which the entire team revolves.

And if there are only two of him and Mourinho, and the other ten teammates are completely uncooperative, then it will be useless no matter how good he is.

But in the eyes of the media, they all praised his humble attitude.

Suddenly a reporter asked a question that had nothing to do with the previous question: "Excuse me Bruno, have you heard the singing in the stands?"

The faces of the other reporters next to him suddenly looked bad, and even the Portuguese reporters changed their expressions.

These people all know what the radical Liverpool fans did, but this matter is relatively sensitive and no one is willing to talk more about it.

Unexpectedly, they did not hear Bruno's angry criticism, but smiled: "I think it's okay, it means they are afraid of me. And the fact that they are afraid of me means that my performance is excellent."

Bruno's answer made the reporters breathe a sigh of relief. Whether Bruno really thought so or just had an idea of ​​​​answering because he didn't want to embarrass everyone, in short, everyone was very satisfied with his response.

This matter just passed.

Bruno scored the highest score of the game after the game, ten points, and he also deservedly won the best of the game.

………………

Bruno didn't take the physical threats against him from Liverpool's radical fans to heart, but that doesn't mean everyone doesn't care.

After the game, Jassim slammed Liverpool's radical fans in the media for this approach.

"They have gone beyond the limit now, they are shouting murder." He told the Guardian. "This is no longer a simple kid's joke. We need to take decisive measures to stop this behavior, otherwise It gets out of hand and becomes routine.”

He didn't just condemn the practice in the media, he called the police.

Many media in the UK also paid attention to this matter, and Bruno was naturally in the news.

After this round of league, he became the most exposed player.

First of all, he helped Manchester United defeat Liverpool with a surprising score of 4:0. Secondly, he was named the best player of the round after this round of the league and was also selected into the best team of the round.

This is the sixth time Bruno has been selected to the best team of the round this season, far ahead among all Premier League players.

In addition, he also won the Premier League Player of the Month in August and September. Judging from the current situation, he is also very likely to become the Premier League Player of the Month in October.

"But a great performance on the pitch caused him problems."

This is what the British media says.

He endured boos and insults from Liverpool fans during the game, which eventually turned into racist remarks and life threats.

The British media has begun a new round of attacks on the rise of racist forces. This attack is not limited to football, but also extends to the entire society.

………………

Henry, the owner of Liverpool Club, also fiercely criticized some Liverpool fans in an interview with the media, saying that what these people did has brought shame to Liverpool Club and stained the Liverpool team emblem.

Although clubs always try to please their supporters, it does not mean that they will like and support anything the supporters do in the name of supporting the club.

Although some of those football hooligans are die-hard supporters of the team, any team would rather they don't like it.

Doing "hate" things in the name of "love" is definitely not an honor for the person they "love", but a shame.

In particular, Liverpool has been deeply harmed by football hooligans in its history.

Both the "Heysel Disaster" and the "Hillsborough Disaster" dealt a major blow to Liverpool. It can even be said that the reason why Liverpool fell from the peak and has not been able to achieve a true revival until now is directly related to these two world-famous tragedies.

These two tragedies are directly or indirectly related to football hooligans.

Although the Hillsborough tragedy was overturned in 2012 and was characterized as negligence of the local police and poor organization, management and control of the scene, which ultimately led to the crowd losing control and trampling on each other, leading to the tragedy, it is difficult to say that some radical fans were not involved in this. It has absolutely nothing to do with excessive behavior.

Liverpool FC chairman Tom Warner has apologized for the behavior of some fans, describing the incident as "embarrassing, disgraceful and unworthy", and the club also stated that it will do its best to support the police investigation.
