Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 194: Summer transfer players renew their contracts and bid farewell!

Not long after this game ended, the 36th round of the Premier League ended.

利物浦0-0斯托克城，热刺2-0沃特福德、曼城4-1西汉姆联。

The most noteworthy one is naturally the latter. Even though Manchester City is 6 points behind Manchester United, they still have not given up the championship.

Of course, the Manchester City players didn't hold out much hope either.

After all, there are only the last two rounds left in the league.

Manchester United's opponents are Brighton and Watford. The two teams are currently ranked 14th and 15th in the standings respectively, and are still 7 points away from the relegation zone.

It can be said that the league quota has been firmly secured, and the players' minds have long been focused on the holidays.

Therefore, in the next two games, both teams are unlikely to go all out.

However, Mourinho still dare not let down his guard. He has seen too many incidents of boats capsizing in the gutter.

"If you want to buy a central defender next season, you must sell a central defender, and there are more than one."

But with the example of Ronaldo, they all behaved more cautiously.

Think of this.

Mourinho frowned, "I will consider this issue. I will choose more suitable players based on next season's lineup."

at the same time.

But the most he could do was think about it.

Due to Manchester United's recent excellent results, Mourinho's status in the club has increased, and Woodward will not find himself unhappy.

Smalling, Phil Jones, Lindelof, Bailly, Rojo, David Luiz.

Woodward suddenly had an idea. If Manchester United sells De Gea, can they take advantage of it?

Since the transfer window of the Premier League ends on August 8 next season, Manchester United is also intensively preparing for transfer matters, such as the central defender Mourinho is very eager for.

Sandoku Woodward said in a deep voice.

In fact, this is a helpless move. After all, three games a week takes a huge toll on the players. It is impossible for him to fight with all his strength after the second round of the Champions League.

Basically no club will wait for the player's contract to end before renewing it. There are still many young players who have performed very well and need to comprehensively consider increasing their benefits.

He is ready to compete in the Champions League on May 5, and then use a half-rotation lineup to play against Brighton three days later, trying to take away as many points as possible away from home.

A total of 6 central defenders, generally no club can use that many.

"Otherwise our finances will explode!"

Yes, Manchester United can afford this money and is willing to spend it.

You must know that Kante just moved to Chelsea for 16 million euros in the 17-3580 season.

Rather than that, it is better to give up the next round and recharge for a decisive battle with Watford.

After two seasons of training, he has become the strongest defensive midfielder currently in the Premier League. There is no doubt about this.

The football transfer market is changing rapidly, and most clubs have their favorite players. The remaining clubs are waiting to watch the World Cup, hoping to meet young and promising players.

In this way, no matter what the result of the final round is, it will not affect the ownership of the league championship.

"Of course, if you can win the Champions League, let alone Kante, I can get it for you with Cristiano Ronaldo."

At the end, he couldn't help complaining: "I asked you to buy Maguire before, but you didn't agree to it. Let's look at the gap between him and Lindelof. If you want to buy again now, you will probably have to pay an extra 2000 million euros."

Otherwise, the young players who have been painstakingly cultivated will not make any profit in the end, which will have a great negative impact on the club.

But the key is that Chelsea is an owner who is not short of money. Abramovich's financial crisis has just ended, and it is said that goalkeeper Courtois will be sold.

Alderweireld, Maguire and Boateng all need to discuss with the players, clubs and agents in advance.

But compared to transfer matters, there is a more important issue on the table.

"Oh, Chelsea's Kante is also good."

Woodward remained silent after hearing this. He was indeed wrong about this matter.

Mourinho paused for a moment, "There are also reinforcements in the midfield position. If Kovacic can be introduced next season, there will be no need to rent him out, but he can only be Pogba's substitute."

The Manchester United management sat together again to discuss the issue of player contract renewal.

Everyone suddenly showed helpless smiles.

By the way, there are also liquidated damages.

They are not sure whether Mourinho is joking or seriously proposing the above-mentioned player list.

Renew!

And their salaries are not low. Woodward has long wanted to sell a few people.

Moreover, he was selected for the French national team. If he wins the World Cup with France, his net worth may soar to more than eight figures.

But who makes Manchester United have an injury physique? Bailly alone missed most of the season, Rojo was injured last season and has not fully recovered yet, and Phil Jones is not to mention too much.

"I need another defensive midfielder with a large coverage area, Gueye from Everton, Doucoure from Watford, Fred from Shakhtar Donetsk."

Woodward said seriously: "We will try our best to meet your requirements, but you know we also need to see returns, and a Premier League title this season would be great."

Er Dezi next to him made a joke.

The conference room suddenly became quiet.

In the end, it was Woodward who broke the embarrassment by saying, "Strive to reach the finals of the Champions League. That will increase the team's exposure and share more of the broadcast fees."

"What I mainly want to say is next season. The current financial situation of the club is very good, and the funds on the books are very sufficient, which is enough to purchase a large number of players in the transfer market."

"Premier League, EFL Cup, FA Cup, Champions League."

Listening to the words spoken by Woodward, Mourinho suddenly laughed. He has never been a man who saves money.

This is also the reason why he and Abu were able to coincide with each other in the first place.

In his championship blueprint, he still lacks a top right winger. After all, Rashford is not a right winger, and his dominant foot is still right-footed.

Bell or Griezmann are both very good choices.

But it would be too difficult to win over the two of them, and it would be almost impossible.

Mahrez still has a lot of opportunities.

Soon the transfer matter came to an end, and Woodward began to talk about the issue of contract renewal, "I don't need to say much about the salary increase of other people, mainly Chu. What do you think?"

"36 games, 34 goals, tied with Liverpool's Salah on the scorer list, and he is only 18 years old, backed by China, which has huge commercial value."

"So I suggest giving him the same salary as Pogba and giving in on the proportion of image rights."

Arnold, the second virtuous man, thought for a long time and said in a very serious tone.

"Very sincere!"

Woodward sighed with emotion and had no intention of refusing.

Mainly when Manchester United executives attended a dinner with Mendes a few days ago, the latter unabashedly mentioned other clubs' interest in Chu Feng.

Real Madrid, in particular, was even willing to pay a sky-high price to take Chu Feng away.

After all, Florentino knows that Ronaldo's departure is a foregone conclusion, and the front line urgently needs to add players. In fact, Vinicius from Castilla, Real Madrid's second team, can also be used.

But compared with the already emerging Chu Feng, both overall technology and commercial value are completely at a disadvantage.

When Manchester United's senior management was having a meeting, the Manchester United players had just finished their morning training and gathered in the canteen to prepare for a meal.

"To be honest, our new chef has no pursuit of delicious food at all. He can't grasp the cooking time well, and the food he cooks is not approved by me!"

McTominay put on a bitter gourd expression.

Rashford echoed, "Chu really got it right last time. The quality of the food is far from what it used to be. Do you know what British food is?" "But Hunter is indeed very professional."

Chu Feng said something nice, but when he saw the tasteless boiled fish, boiled chicken, pasta and fresh vegetables on the plate, he couldn't help but complain: "Wait until the weekend's Champions League game is over. , let’s go out for a nice meal.”

After all, he is not an eminent monk, but he still has appetites.

"Let's go to Tianwaitian. I really want to eat the chili shredded chicken. By the way, I will suggest Hunter to learn from others later. If you have nothing to do, you can have some steamed seabass."

McTominay's eyes lit up.

Next to him, Smolin looked at everyone silently, eating vegetables slowly, as if he couldn't understand the other party's helplessness.

Perhaps due to injuries, he became a vegetarian.

In fact, this is very common among players.

He had been suffering from tendonitis before, and his Achilles tendon was often swollen after the injury. After reducing his red meat intake, his symptoms did improve significantly.

While eating, a few people chatted about the league again.

"Who will Manchester City's opponents be in the next two rounds?"

De Gea asked.

"Huddersfield and Southampton, both teams are average in strength. Manchester City has a high probability of winning the game."

Chu Feng said with a smile, and then added: "Don't put your hopes on them. As long as we can go undefeated in the next game, we can win the championship one round ahead of schedule."

"We play Huddersfield with a full substitute lineup in the FA Cup and send them to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup. Can't they help us stop it?"

Lukaku touched Guang Waliang's forehead.

"It's not like you haven't played against Manchester City before. It's hard for them to lose the game. Let's consider the Champions League on the weekend first."

Chu Feng never liked to place his hopes on others, nor did he like to think about things that had not happened.

Only by walking slowly and down-to-earth can you go further.

He continued to say sincerely: "There is an old saying in our hometown, "A person who travels a hundred miles has half a mile, which means that the closer you are to success, the more difficult it will be, and you must take it seriously."

Lukaku thought carefully. Since the start of the season, he has been fascinated by Chinese culture.

Especially the extremely difficult to pronounce Chinese, which made him feel like he was reciting a magic spell, and he always felt full of metaphysical power.

The other team members listened to the second half of the sentence.

"There has been a lot of transfer news recently, have you noticed it?"

Rashford suddenly raised his mouth casually, but his eyes drifted to the side intentionally or unintentionally.

"I won't hide it from you guys, I will leave next season and go to the Los Angeles Galaxy."

Ibrahimovic put down the tableware in his hands, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth.

The huge canteen suddenly fell into silence.

Chu Feng asked blankly: "Do you have to leave?"

Ibrahimovic is not only a teammate to him, but also plays many very important roles.

After a while, Chu Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Then let's work hard and try to give you the best gift."

He knew that with Ibrahimovic's stubborn character, once a decision had been made, no one could make it change.

So I stopped trying to persuade him, I just felt a little heavier on my shoulders.

Regardless of whether Ibrahimovic needs it or not, he wants the other party to leave without regrets.

"what about you?"

Ibrahimovic glanced around.

In fact, he also wants to stay at Manchester United, but he is no longer the main player, and staying any longer will only destroy the pride in his heart.

That's what he's most proud of.

He once walked out of the refugee zone with this energy and became the unique Zlatan.

The Manchester United players all looked at Ibrahimovic.

Especially the young players, they all regard Ibrahimovic as their idol, and the latter also taught them a lot.

Last season's EFL Cup, Europa League and English Super Cup champions, and this season's upcoming Premier League champions, they have come a long way together.

Now that we suddenly have to say goodbye, everyone is very reluctant to say goodbye.

"I will definitely stay. Even if the boss suggested that I go out, I would not agree."

McTominay's attitude was firm.

Since arriving at Manchester United at the age of 5, he has fallen in love with this club and will stick to it no matter what.

Ashley Young and Valencia, two inspirational veterans, also said they would stay.

Rashford remained silent.

Lukaku roared angrily: "No one expected us to win the championship at the beginning of the season, but we defeated the other BIG6 and occupied the top spot for 154 days."

"This means that the team we formed is very strong, and the same lineup next season will definitely be very strong!"

Chu Feng looked at the increasingly dull atmosphere and chuckled: "Why are everyone so sad? It's not like we won't be able to meet each other in the future. Maybe Zlatan will come back to fight in a few years."

He was born again and hated separation, but he could accept it.

"Yes, and I don't go there to relax. I want to spread football culture to the United States and dominate the Major League Soccer League!"

Ibrahimovic waved his fist vigorously, as arrogant as ever.

Then he looked at Chu Feng and raised his eyebrows, "What about you?"

The eyes of the Manchester United players suddenly shifted, their eyes full of expectation.

Who is the biggest contributor this season?

Even someone as proud as Pogba must admit that Chu Feng has greatly improved Manchester United's overall strength. Even if there are reasons for the tactical system, Chu Feng's personal ability cannot be ignored.

Especially the terrifying growth rate.

"Of course I'll stay."

Chu Feng regained his composure and spoke softly.

Maybe he will leave Manchester United in the future, but at least it won't be next season.

From an emotional point of view, he likes the Manchester United team and likes to play side by side with Mourinho and his teammates.

Rationally speaking, Manchester United is suitable for his next development.

After strengthening the lineup next season, he can compete for more championships, and he can also pursue more personal honors.

Since then.

Manchester United players are training more seriously, including Pogba, who has reduced their entertainment time.

Soon the time came to May 5rd.

The second leg of the Champions League semi-finals is about to begin.

The red wave swept in from afar, seemed to flood the whole of Manchester, and finally converged at Old Trafford.

The stadium, called Theater of Dreams, is bathed in moonlight.

At 22 o'clock in the evening.

As the exciting Champions League theme song played, the players from both teams walked out of the tunnel.
