Chapter 1089

Although David Gill was very angry about Mendes' unreasonable price, he still had a very gentlemanly lunch with Mendes before returning to England.

back in Manchester, David Gil was just at home and rushed to Ferguson's home.

Ferguson is drinking afternoon tea, see David Gill a face of anger and sadness come in, heart understand more than half.

"What? The negotiation didn't go well? " Ferguson said.

David Gill said angrily, "well? There's no way to talk, Sir Alex. Do you know what Mendes said about the contract we offered? He said that Gao Xiaodong is not Ibrahimovic and will not meet the annual salary of 320000 Euro higher than Messi

Ferguson is nearly 70 years old and has gone through too many things. He is not surprised that Mendes does not agree with such an annual salary. He poured a cup of coffee for David Gill and said with a smile: "don't be angry and don't worry. When talking about a contract like Gao Xiaodong, you need to be patient. You can't succeed at once."

David Gill sighed and said: "Alex, I can't help but be angry. Mendes wants 20 million euros and says Gao Xiaodong has suffered a loss for the sake of Manchester United."

Ferguson was walking back to his seat and sat down. After listening to David Gill's words, he paused for a moment, then sat down again slowly and said, "it's normal. Xiao Dong is worth his annual salary."

David Gill was stunned. He was so surprised that he forgot to sit down and said, "Alex, are you going to agree to Mendes' request?"

Ferguson said with a smile: "when did I say I would agree to Mendes' request?"

David Gill asked: "don't you mean the annual salary of Gao Xiaodong?"

Ferguson said: "I said Gao Xiaodong is worth the annual salary, but it doesn't mean that Manchester United will give him the annual salary. We can continue to talk about it until Gao Xiaodong agrees to lower his requirements."

David Gill said: "I'm afraid it's not easy to talk. There's a big gap between the two sides' demands, and I'm afraid Mr. Glazer will not continue to increase the price on the basis of the original."

Ferguson picked up a snack in his mouth and tasted it slowly. "Mr. Glazer doesn't want to? Then talk to him, too, until he agrees to increase the price. "

David Gill said in surprise, "talk to Glazer? If we don't insist, I'm afraid Glazer doesn't want to add a million euros to Gao Xiaodong. "

"That's evram, not Mr. Glazer. They're not exactly equal," Ferguson said

David Gill brightened his eyes and said: "it's reasonable. I remember that evram didn't pay enough attention to and be friendly to Dong. If we talk to Glazer directly, it may have an unexpected effect."

Ferguson said with a smile: "yes, I think Gao Xiaodong has made a great contribution to Manchester United in his one year of playing for Manchester United. He is fully qualified to ask for a higher salary. Of course, considering the economic status of the club and the impact of excessive salary on the salary structure of the team, we should also step up our contact with Gao Xiaodong so that he can face up to the current situation and make a big difference Wei, you can do the work of Glazer, and I can do the work of Xiaodong. "

Listening to what Ferguson said, David Gill's mood relaxed a lot, but he still said: "Alex, even if Gao Xiaodong reduces his requirements, I'm afraid it will cost about 18 million. Is this annual salary really suitable?"

Ferguson said: "the original super high transfer fee on Gao Xiaodong has caused controversy. After a brilliant season, I think everyone's doubts should be eliminated. I didn't expect that you didn't know the value of Gao Xiaodong."

David Gill said: "I recognize Gao Xiaodong's important role for Manchester United, but I can't exaggerate it. At least I don't think Gao Xiaodong's role for Manchester United is greater than yours."

David Gill gave Ferguson a little flattery.

In general clubs, the position of manager is higher than that of head coach, but Manchester United is an exception. In Manchester United, Ferguson is the first. Even Glazer, the boss, dare not deny Ferguson's decision easily.

Ferguson shook his head and said: "Xiaodong can't replace me, but at the same time I can't replace Xiaodong. Xiaodong's contribution to Manchester United is no less than me. On the pitch, he has gradually shown excellent leadership ability. I'm ready to make him captain of Manchester United in the next season."

"Let Gao Xiaodong be the captain?"

David Gill exclaimed.

Manchester United is a very traditional team. With Giggs, Ferdinand, Vidic, Fletcher, Rooney and other senior officials, it's absolutely not the ordinary people's decision to let Gao Xiaodong, a young man who has just been here for a year, be captain.

Even Gao Xiaodong himself can't believe it.

Three days later, when Ferguson personally went to the capital of China to meet Gao Xiaodong and told him what he thought, Gao Xiaodong was also shocked.

"Chief, you are not joking, are you?"

Ferguson took a cup of the best red robe made of Yixing purple clay pot and tasted it slowly. "Xiaodong, this is something I have planned for a long time. In fact, after Neville retired last season, I was ready to let you top it, but many people opposed it, and I was worried that it would put too much pressure on you. However, after the glory of last season, I don't think it's good for you to be captain of Manchester United again There will be too much controversy, even if there is, I will help you stand up to it. "Gao Xiaodong was surprised and happy: "I can't believe it."

"No confidence?" Ferguson said with a smile

Gaoxiaodong chest a quite, way: "yes," and then he said with a smile: "is a little accident."

It's a surprise that Gao Xiaodong thought that he would have a chance to be a vice captain this season, but he is also very good. Ferguson decided to let Gao Xiaodong be the captain so early, and he went all the way to Gao Xiaodong's home. Gao Xiaodong thinks that Ferguson must have other purposes, and this purpose is probably to renew his contract .

Ferguson said with a smile: "what's unexpected? Neville and Scholes are retired, Giggs is also semi retired, Ferdinand and Vidic are all 30, you and Rooney, de GEA are the future of Manchester United."

Gao Xiaodong scratched his head. "Thank you for your trust and cultivation."

Ferguson felt that the time was ripe, said: "I come here today, in addition to talking about the selection of the captain, and about the renewal of the contract. As the captain of Manchester United, only two years of contract can not make the fans feel at ease. The new season will start soon, and the renewal of the contract must be settled as soon as possible."

Gao Xiaodong thought of this just now, and also considered the countermeasures. Since Ferguson has given him some advantages, of course he has to give Ferguson some face. He said, "don't worry, boss. I'll contact Mr. Mendes right away and finish the renewal as soon as possible."

Ferguson didn't talk about the salary, but it's a tacit thing. Ferguson believes Gao Xiaodong won't get the benefit, and then he pretends to be confused.
