Chapter 1565

Ferguson has worked in football for so many years and never liked a young player like Ronaldo.

In his eyes, Ronaldo is a talent of one in a million, whether in ability, talent or attitude. For a club manager, it's a dream to have a perfect player. If the player can be cultivated into a perfect player step by step when he is just an adult, it's even more a dream.

He had planned a very detailed development direction for Ronaldo, but unexpectedly, the 18-year-old Ronaldo had just joined Manchester United. Before a game was played, someone would spend 25 million pounds to poach him.

Ferguson rushed to David Gill's office and Mendes was gone.

The moment he opened the door, he immediately asked David Gill, who was sitting behind his desk, "which club is interested in Cristiano?"

"I don't know either." David Gill shrugged and spread out his hand. "All I know is that Mendes just called me and told me that there was a club ready to trigger Cristiano Ronaldo's liquidated damages clause. Who is it? I asked him. He would not disclose it."

Ferguson was furious: "damned Mendes, what tricks are you playing with me at this time? Did he forget that we just made him a fortune? He has no gratitude at all! "

David Gill said helplessly, "Sir, Mendes is a businessman, a businessman through and through. This kind of person has milk as his mother. How can he be grateful? He sold Cristiano to us and made a profit. Now he urges other clubs to buy Cristiano, and he can make another profit. "

"It's impossible," Ferguson said! I will never let Cristiano go! "

David Gill said awkwardly, "Sir, Cristiano's contract has a liquidated damages clause. Mendes insisted on adding this five-year liquidated damages Division: 25 million in the first year, 35 million in the second year, 45 million in the third year, 55 million in the fourth year and 70 million in the fifth year. Now Chris Tiano is in the first year's gear, anyone who wants to spend 25 million pounds can take him away. "

Ferguson said angrily: "this clause is stupid! Why do we agree to such stupid terms? "

David Gill, embarrassed by Ferguson's angry accusations, said: "this is the result of the negotiations when Cristiano Ronaldo was introduced, and this amount is also very beneficial to us."

"Favorable?!" Ferguson said angrily: "25 million pounds can take such a talented player away, you tell me it's good for us?"

David Gill's politeness was also gradually dispelled by Ferguson's anger. His smile gradually disappeared, and his tone became colder. He said: "Sir, I am a CEO, not a manager. I not only want to ensure the team's performance, but also the income of the whole club. Besides, a Cristiano Ronaldo has just joined the club for less than half a month The £ 12.24 million investment brought back the team's income of 25 million, with a profit margin of more than 100%. In my opinion, this is the best business in the world

In fact, for David Gill, he really does not want Ronaldo to be poached by other clubs so soon. He also agrees with Ferguson that Ronaldo's future has greater development space. Moreover, he also believes that at this stage, Manchester United really need a person with such a high talent as Ronaldo to plan a better future for Manchester United.

However, Ferguson's attitude makes him a little unacceptable. In any case, he is the CEO of the club, and Ferguson has no right to shout at him here.

Ferguson was so angry with David Gill that he couldn't say a word. It's really choking. He just bought a player in 12.24 million and sold 25 million in more than ten days, which is equivalent to making 1 million pounds for the club every day. No one would think it's not worth it.

After all, even if he is optimistic about the future of Ronaldo, he is still far from worth 25 million pounds. That's why the liquidated damages for the first year of the contract are only 25 million. David Gill doesn't think there is any problem.

But Ferguson didn't want to let Ronaldo go. He said to David Gill, "whoever wants to buy Cristiano, I won't let them succeed easily!"

Then he turned and left.

David Gill stood up helplessly and said, "please, sir, don't do this..."

Ferguson did not pay attention to him, back hands, a face sullen out of his office.

……

After meeting all the players, Li Mu began to prepare for his return.

his charter flight has been waiting at Manchester airport, ready to return to China thousands of miles away.

Considering the seven hour time difference between London and China, Li Mu left Li Ziwei's contact information to Sun Jihai. After he contacted Dong Fangzhuo tomorrow, he can directly tell Li Ziwei the result of Dong Fangzhuo's feedback.Sun Jihai would like to contact Dong Fangzhuo immediately, but because he knew that Li Mu didn't want to divulge the news for the time being, he could only wait until Li Mu left.

To Dong Fangzhuo, Sun Jihai not only has the feeling of fellow townsman, but also has the psychology of cherishing talents.

He comes from Bincheng, Liaoning Province at the end of last century, which is the cradle of Chinese football. A large number of famous players come from this province, and Bincheng is the most famous football in Liaoning Province.

Sun Jihai, as a Bincheng man, is especially optimistic about Dong Fangzhuo, who also comes from Bincheng.

In his eyes, Dong Fangzhuo not only has a strong talent in football, but also has a stronger physical quality than most Chinese players, which is very suitable for the development of the Premier League.

Physical fitness is very important for the players, because since he came to play in England, Sun Jihai really understood the importance of physical fitness in high-level football league.

The players with strong physical quality can create advantages in all aspects, such as higher winning rate, stronger speed and endurance, more active running and interspersed, easier to tear open the opponent's defense line, etc.

When Asian teams are competing with European or South American teams, they are usually able to carry it in the first half. Teams with strong technology like Japan and South Korea often have the opportunity to create threats and even lead in the first half. However, once the second half, especially in the last 20 minutes, Asian teams, no matter in Japan, South Korea or China, are in good shape Can descend as fast as possible, can be pressed by the opponent to rub on the ground quickly.

The reason is that physical fitness is not good, just like rally, car performance is important, endurance is also very important.

Therefore, this is also the main reason why Asian players are difficult to adapt to in the five major leagues. They can't compete, run or carry, and such players suffer a lot in Europe.

But Dong Fangzhuo is different, Sun Jihai is very clear about his physical fitness, almost no obvious difference with the European young players, and immediately greatly closer to the distance with the European League.

If Dong Fangzhuo can come to the Manchester City team, it's really the best thing, because he can not only partner with himself in the team, but also be Chinese and take care of each other. What's more, the owner of the club is also Chinese, and he is a famous Li Mu. In other words, at least in such a club, there is no need to worry about racial discrimination.

In Europe, although there are few people talking about racial discrimination, racial discrimination is everywhere. Sun Jihai himself has encountered all kinds of racial discrimination in the team. Maybe some things are just daily chores, but as a foreigner in another country, Sun Jihai is also hard to avoid those negative effects.

However, his heart was clear at the moment, because he knew that after Li Mu became the owner of the club, there would be no racial discrimination against Chinese in the club.

After finally saying goodbye to the club's staff and players, Li Mu and his party left the city training base together with Davidson Cooper.

Before leaving, Li Mu asked the CEO of the club, Alister, to make an official announcement half an hour later, announcing to the outside world that he had taken over Manchester City Club and became the new owner of Manchester City.

At the same time, Li Mu asked Li Ziwei to communicate with the headquarters of Muye technology, so that the staff of the headquarters could interact with the club. After the announcement of the club, Muye technology also officially issued a statement.

Li Ziwei took some photos and picked out some of the better ones, which were left to Alister and passed on to the headquarters of the company.

then, Li Mucai sat in Davidson's car, and his team will escort Li Mu all the way to Manchester airport.

On the way to the airport, Davidson said to Li Mu with a smile: "Mr. Li, today the whole UK is watching the news that you received the Queen's medal at Buckingham Palace. If you become the owner of Manchester City Club again, the whole UK will not be able to sleep."

Li Mu said with a smile: "my only hope is that the British people will not be too concerned about me becoming the boss of Manchester City. I don't want Manchester City to become like Chelsea."

Davidson laughed and said: "well, you should worry more. Although the British people are arrogant, they still admire you very much. Some media have speculated that Buckingham Palace has awarded you GBE in order to make you the leader of Prince William. Some people even say that you are the" Godfather "of Prince William, but there is no exclusion. The British people also hope that William With your help and guidance, the prince can become a man with brilliant achievements like you. "

Li Mu nodded slightly.

Although they are the same age, the word "Godfather" has not been used too much.

I want to directly upgrade William to at least two or three levels, so that he can create a higher level of life than his previous life, and the help provided for him will definitely help him to break the ceiling that he could touch in his original life path.

This kind of relationship can't be overstated, can it be said that it's Shifu?
