Ferguson has been in football for so many years, and he has never liked a young player like Cristiano Ronaldo.

In his eyes, Cristiano Ronaldo is a one-in-a-million genius in terms of ability, talent or attitude, and for a club manager, having a perfect player is a dream thing, and if he can be trained step by step to become a perfect player when this player is just coming of age, it will be even more dreamy.

He originally planned a very detailed development direction for Ronaldo, but what he didn't expect was that the eighteen-year-old Ronaldo had just joined Manchester United, and before he played a game, someone would not hesitate to spend 25 million pounds to poach him.

Ferguson sped 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 has taken a fancy to Cristiano?"

"I don't know. David Gill shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said: "What I know is that Mendes just called me and told me that there is a club that is ready to trigger Cristiano Ronaldo's liquidated damages clause, who exactly, I asked him, he didn't want to say." ”

Ferguson was furious: "Damn Mendes, what kind of tricks are you playing with me at this time? Has he forgotten that we just made him a lot of money? Why is he not grateful at all!"

David Gill said helplessly: "Sir, Mendes is a businessman, a businessman through and through, this kind of person is a mother with milk, how can he have any gratitude? He sold Cristiano to us and made a profit, and now he can make another profit if he buys Cristiano from other clubs." ”

Ferguson said, "No way! I'm not going to let Cristiano go!"

David Gill said embarrassedly: "Sizz, there is a liquidated damages clause in Cristiano's contract, Mendes insisted on adding this five-year liquidated damages bracket: 25 million pounds in the first year, 35 million pounds in the second year, 45 million pounds in the third year, 55 million pounds in the fourth year, and 70 million in the fifth year. ”

Ferguson was furious and said, "This clause is stupid! Why would we agree to such a stupid clause?!"

David Gill was a little embarrassed by Ferguson's angry accusations, saying: "This is the result of the negotiation when Cristiano Ronaldo was brought in, and this amount is also very beneficial for us. ”

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

David Gill's original politeness was gradually washed away by Ferguson's anger, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his tone became cold, saying: "Jazz, I am a CEO, not a head coach, I not only want to ensure the team's results, but also to ensure the income of the entire club, not to mention that a Cristiano Ronaldo has just joined for half a month, and the investment of 12.24 million pounds has exchanged 25 million for the team, with a profit margin of more than 100% In my opinion, it's the best business in the world. ”

In fact, for David Gill, he really doesn't want Ronaldo to be poached by other clubs so soon, and he also agrees with what Ferguson said that Ronaldo's future has more room for development, and he also feels that at this stage, Manchester United does need a highly talented figure like Ronaldo to plan a better future for Manchester United.

However, Ferguson's attitude made him a little unacceptable, in any case, he is the CEO of this club, and Ferguson has no right to yell at him here.

Ferguson was speechless by David Gill's words, this sentence is indeed very choking, 12.24 million just bought a player, and it changed hands and sold 25 million in more than ten days, which is equivalent to earning 1 million pounds a day for the club, this deal will not be worth it.

After all, even if he is optimistic about Ronaldo's future, he is indeed far from worth 25 million pounds at the moment, which is why the liquidated damages in the first year of the contract are only 25 million, and David Gill does not feel that there is any problem.

But Ferguson was unwilling to let Ronaldo go, saying to David Gill: "Whoever wants to buy Cristiano, I won't let them succeed easily!"

With that, he turned and left.

David Gill stood up helplessly and said, "Please, sir, don't ...... like this"

Ferguson ignored him, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of his office with a look of rage.

……

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

His chartered plane was already waiting at Manchester Airport, ready to return to China, thousands of miles away.

Considering that there is a seven-hour time difference between London and China, Li Mu left Li Ziwei's contact information to Sun Jihai, and after he contacts Dong Fangzhuo tomorrow, he can directly tell Li Ziwei the results of Dong Fangzhuo's feedback.

Sun Jihai wanted to contact Dong Fangzhuo immediately, but because he knew that Li Mu didn't want to leak the news for the time being, he could only hold back the excitement in his heart and prepare to wait for Li Mu to leave.

For Dong Fangzhuo, Sun Jihai not only has the friendship of his fellow countrymen in his heart, but also has a psychology of cherishing talents.

He is from Bincheng, Liao Province, at the end of the last century, Liao Province, can be called the cradle of Chinese football, a large number of well-known players are from this province, and Liaoning Province football, and Bincheng as the most.

Sun Jihai, as a native of Bincheng, is particularly optimistic about Dong Fangzhuo, who is also from Bincheng.

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

Physicality is actually very important to the players, because since coming to England to play, Sun Jihai has really understood the importance of physicality in the high-level football league.

Players with strong physical fitness can create advantages in all aspects, such as a better chance of winning in battles, faster running speed and stamina, more active running and interspersing, easier to tear apart opponents' defenses, and so on.

Asian teams often have the opportunity to create a threat to the opponent or even form a lead in the first half when they are against European or South American teams, and teams with strong skills like Japan and South Korea often have the opportunity to create a threat to the opponent or even form a lead in the first half, but once it comes to the second half, especially in the last 20 minutes, whether it is Japan, South Korea or China, the Asian team's physical fitness declines so quickly that it will be quickly pressed to the ground by the opponent and rubbed.

The reason for this is that the physical fitness is not good, just like a rally, the performance of the car is important, and the endurance is also very important.

Therefore, this is also the main reason why it is difficult for Asian players to adapt in the five major leagues, they can't fight, they can't run, they can't carry, and such players are very disadvantaged in Europe.

But Dong Fangzhuo is different, Sun Jihai knows his physical fitness very well, almost no obvious difference from young European players, and suddenly greatly shortened the distance with the European league.

If Dong Fangzhuo can come to the Manchester City team, it is really a good thing, because not only can he partner with himself in the team, they are Chinese and can take care of each other, and more importantly, the owner of the club is also Chinese, and it is the famous Li Mu, not to mention anything else, at least in such a club, there is no need to worry about racial discrimination.

In Europe, although few people talk about racial discrimination, racial discrimination is everywhere, and Sun Jihai himself has encountered all kinds of racial discrimination in the team, and some things may just be some daily trivialities, but as an outsider in a foreign country, it is difficult for Sun Jihai to be free from those negative influences.

However, his heart is clear at the moment, because he knows that after Li Mu becomes the owner of this club, there will definitely be no more racial discrimination against Chinese people in this club.

After finally saying goodbye to the club staff and players, Li Mu and his entourage left the Manchester City team's training base with Davidson Cober.

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

At the same time, Li Mu asked Li Ziwei to communicate with the headquarters of Makino Technology, so that the staff of the headquarters could maintain interaction with the club.

Li Ziwei took some photos and selected a few good ones, which were left for Alister and passed on to the company's headquarters.

Li Mucai then got into Davidson's car, and his convoy would 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 paying attention to the news that you have received the Queen's award at Buckingham Palace. ”

Li Mu smiled: "My only hope is that the British don't worry too much about me becoming the owner of Manchester City, I don't want Manchester City to become like Chelsea." ”

Davidson laughed and said: "Then you have to worry too much, although the British are a little arrogant, but they still respect you very much, there have been media speculation that Buckingham Palace awarded you the gBE, in order to make you the leader of Prince William, and some people even say that you are the prince's 'godfather', but everyone has no rejection of this, and the British people also hope that Prince William can become a person with brilliant achievements like you with your help and guidance." ”

Li Mu nodded slightly.

Although the two are of the same age, the word godfather is not used too badly.

He is tantamount to raising William directly to at least two or three levels, allowing him to create a higher height in life than in his previous life, and the help provided to him will definitely help him break the ceiling that he can touch in his original life trajectory.

It's not an exaggeration to say that such a relationship is a master, right?
