Chapter 723

Physical examination is not difficult for Gao Xiaodong. His body has been strengthened by super nutrient solution once. He is not strong enough. Gao Xiaodong is afraid that he is too strong and is suspected by Manchester United's team doctors.

After the medical examination, it was late. Glazer, the owner of Manchester United, held a banquet to meet Gao Xiaodong and Mendes. The senior management of the club and the head coach, Ferguson, accompanied them.

Although magsim. Glazer was caught in the wind three years ago, and his body and movement were not very convenient, and he was not suitable for drinking, but he came in person and offered a drink to Gao Xiaodong.

At the banquet, Manchester United and Gao Xiaodong mainly discussed the number of Gao Xiaodong's shirt.

Don't look at the high sounding Gao Xiaodong told reporters, as if he really didn't care what shirt to wear. In fact, Gao Xiaodong is sure to win the No. 10 shirt.

Although No. 7 is a legendary number, it also has great significance in the history of Manchester United's team, including George Best, Bryan Robson, Cantona, Beckhams, Ronaldo and other United's most outstanding stars were once the owners of Red Devils No. 7, but Gao Xiaodong's goal is not only the legend of Manchester United, but also the symbol of the king of No. 10, Maradona and Pele It's the 10th of the year.

But now Rooney is not sure whether to transfer or not. If he wants the No. 10 Jersey from Rooney to Gao Xiaodong, it is tantamount to driving Rooney out.

At present, Rooney's value in the transfer market is about 70 million. However, it is very difficult for Manchester United to buy someone with the same strength to replace him if they sell Rooney. Even if they do, running in is also a problem. Therefore, Manchester United still hope to keep Rooney.

In the case of leaving Rooney, how to get the No. 10 Jersey without irritating Rooney is a difficult problem.

Glazer coughed, stood up with the help of his assistant, and said seriously: "it's about the internal affairs of the team. In fact, I shouldn't have intervened, but David, Sir Alex, the No. 10 jersey of Gao is not about Gao's personal preference, but also about the business operation of the team. We all know that behind Gao's business, there is a vast Chinese market What Chinese fans love most is No. 10. A No. 10 small Donggao will make Chinese fans feel more proud, while other numbers obviously can't achieve this effect, even the great No. 7. "

Glazer's words made Gao Xiaodong feel very happy. He said that people, the world-class rich, have a high level of speech. Our little selfish desire in his mouth has become a major event related to the business operation of the team.

Mendes secretly praised the Jews for their shrewdness and their grasp of consumer psychology. Indeed, Gao Xiaodong on the 10th and Gao Xiaodong on the 7th must be different in the minds of Chinese fans. However, the more Glazer said that, the happier Mendes was, because Gao Xiaodong could not get the 10th Jersey and Manchester United were worried.

Mendes said with a smile: "Mr. magsim is right. Xiaodong will sign the contract tomorrow. It is said that more than 60000 people will come to Old Trafford stadium to watch Gao Xiaodong appear. If Gao Xiaodong can't wear No. 10 shirt tomorrow, I think the sales volume of the shirt will be much lower, which will not only affect the team's income, but also affect Gao Xiaodong's popularity."

Glazer said: "Sir Alex, now the No.10 shirt is on Rooney. You and Rooney are like father and son. I'm afraid no one can solve this problem except you. You have to take the trouble."

Ferguson wants people and spends money. Of course, Ferguson has to solve the problem.

Although Ferguson knows this is a thorny issue, he is duty bound and has to bear it.

Ferguson said with a laugh: "it's a small matter. Xiaodong is a player who has been robbed all over the world. Manchester City has offered an annual salary of 17 million euros. In the end, Xiaodong has come to Manchester United. It's a big happy event. No. 10 Jersey must be given to Xiaodong. It's wrapped up in me. I'll tell Rooney about it."

Gao Xiaodong said: "in this case, thank you sir."

Ferguson looked at Gao Xiaodong happy, as if Ronaldo returned to his side, he said with a smile: "don't call me Sir Alex, just like other players call me boss."

Gao Xiaodong said: "thank you boss. I'm still young. I offended my teammates in the first two years. In the future, you should take care of me and don't let others bully me."

"Well, that's no problem. We have your Asian hometown Park Zhixing in our team. You can communicate with him more."

Ferguson is full of promise, but he thinks in his heart that among the talents I've been coaching, Beckhams, Giggs, Keane, Ronaldo and Rooney, you are cunning and ruthless, and you can pretend to be stupid and bully others. Just don't bully others.

Gao Xiaodong said, "I'll ask him more. Don't worry."

After the banquet, Gao Xiaodong, shawler and Mendes went to the Laurie hotel of Manchester United's Royal five-star hotel for a rest. Ferguson went directly to Rooney's mansion in Cheshire.

Along the way, Ferguson was thinking about how to tell Rooney the number.

There have been a lot of good talk and interesting things about the competition for the number of the Jersey in the football world, but once it is not handled properly, it becomes a joke and contradiction.When Baggio joined Inter, his favorite number 10 was owned by Ronaldo. Ronnie immediately sent out a message: Size 10 can be sold, but I have to wear size 9. As a result, the Chilean samolano was forced to give up the number 9 to the aliens, Baggio put on the number 10, samolano put on the number 18, and made a poor plus between the two numbers.

After Ronaldinho joined Milan, the number of his shirt has always been the concern of the fans. AC Milan's No. 10 shirt is owned by Seedorf, who refuses to give up his No. 10 shirt after Ronaldinho's arrival. However, Ronaldinho can only choose No. 80 shirt.

If we use the above method, we can imagine that there will be contradictions in the team.

Seeing the arrival of Ferguson, Rooney quickly took him home. He thought that Ferguson was here to renew his contract.

Ferguson saw Rooney and said directly: "Wayne, the boss came here today. After signing Gao Xiaodong, the boss overdraw a lot of money and planned to sell you and give your No. 10 shirt to Gao Xiaodong."

Rooney was furious and said: "what, I haven't transferred yet, so I'm going to give my shirt away. No, I'd rather not transfer. My No. 10 shirt will never be given to that Chinese."

Ferguson sighed: "Gao Xiaodong is a smart man. He is afraid to offend you. I told the boss that Wayne has been working hard in Manchester United for six years, from the front to the back. Even Ronaldo can't match Rooney. Without Rooney, how can Ronaldo win the golden ball award?"

Rooney was elated by what Ferguson said: "Ronaldo still has strength."

Ferguson suddenly said seriously: "but, Wayne, do you think about it? Now Gao Xiaodong has a vast Chinese market. It's a population of 1.5 billion. The boss won't give up. I'm worried that he will forcibly grab your shirt and give it to Gao Xiaodong, and then you will lose someone."

Rooney said angrily: "if he dares to do that, I will move right away."

Ferguson sneered: "it's not humiliating for you to leave. It's different from ostrich burying his head in a fool."

Rooney patted the table and said, "what about that?"

"In fact, there is another way to achieve the best of both worlds," Ferguson said

Rooney a listen, urgent way: "that how to do?"

Ferguson said: "so, isn't Owen wearing Manchester United's most important No. 7 shirt? I advise Owen to give you the No.7 Jersey first, and then you take the initiative to give the No.10 Jersey to Gao Xiaodong. Isn't that the best of both worlds? "

Rooney said: "I take the initiative to give it to Gao Xiaodong. Isn't that more humiliating?"

"You want to wear No. 7, not No. 10, and Owen is old enough to give up No. 7 for the benefit of the team, and no one will laugh at him," Ferguson said

Rooney was stunned by Ferguson and thought it was a good solution. If he was forced to take away his shirt, it would be a shame, so he agreed.

Ferguson convinced Rooney, and then came to Owen.

Owen, 31, is the arch rival of Manchester United who came from Liverpool. His position in the team is not comparable to that of the native class 92, even with Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick. With Ferguson's threats and inducements, Owen can only give up his No. 7 shirt.
