In the face of the upcoming 03-04 season, the main players of Manchester City Club are training very hard.

This is Manchester City's first season since returning to the Premier League, and the whole team is holding back their energy to make another comeback in the Premier League.

Head coach Kevin Keegan is also going all out to lead all the players to train, as well as actively preparing for the technical and tactical arrangements for the new season.

However, what puzzled the players was that this afternoon, head coach Kevin Keegan suddenly disappeared, and he, who had never been absent from training in the past, did not appear on the sidelines of the training ground, but just told the assistant coach to take everyone to do daily training.

The players like to gossip a lot on weekdays, so while everyone is training, everyone quietly guesses where Kevin Keegan is going, and the results of the speculation are getting more and more outrageous.

Just when everyone was speculating whether Kevin Keegan was going to the city to pick up girls, Kevin Keegan suddenly appeared on the sidelines and said to all the players in the first team who were training: "Everyone stop training, follow me to the main building of the base, and do not bring any communication equipment, especially mobile phones with camera functions." ”

Kevin Keegan's sudden appearance made everyone confused, and what he said made the situation even more confusing.

Stop training, go to the main building of the base, and you can't bring any communication equipment, what is this for?

Everyone was puzzled, immediately stopped training, put on sweat-soaked training clothes, and followed Kevin Keegan to the large conference room in the main building of the base.

For the players, they are very familiar with the large conference room in the main building, and every time Kevin Keegan wants to talk about the skills and tactics of the whole team, or analyze the strengths and weaknesses of other teams, everyone will gather here, but in the past, when we came here for meetings, we would not come in training uniforms, so this feeling is still a little weird.

As soon as the door opened, the players just entered, and they were surprised to find that the CEO of the club was also here, and there were several unfamiliar faces.

Just when everyone was surprised by the origin of these unfamiliar faces, a player suddenly exclaimed: "Li Mu...... My God, it's really Li Mu!"

The players of Manchester United, under this exclamation, all recognized Li Mu himself.

Just when they were shocked, Li Mu stood up and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am Li Mu, and I am also the new owner of Manchester City Club. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the players were even more dumbfounded.

Li Mu has become the new owner of Manchester City Club, the world's most famous businessman, who has just returned to the Premier League, bought this second-rate football club that has just returned to the Premier League? This is also incredible, isn't it? It is as if the richest man in China suddenly paid for a small brick kiln in his village, and he does not understand why at all.

When everyone was confused, Li Mu explained to everyone that the reason why he bought Manchester City Club was because he liked football and hoped to make a club the strongest in the world.

If someone else said such a thing, everyone probably wouldn't believe it at all, but when this came out of Li Mu's mouth, none of these team members doubted it.

Subsequently, Li Mu said about his investment plan for Manchester City Club, in a word: Manchester City in the future, it will be rich and rich, resources and resources, and even the future advertising sponsorship will be covered by Makino Technology, which means that Li Mu will not only continue to invest in the club, but also let his own company, through the cooperation model, provide more abundant cash flow for the club.

Moreover, Li Mu also promised everyone that before the end of the season, he will not make active adjustments to any staff of the club, that is, the coaching staff will not be changed, the medical team will not be changed, and the management personnel will not be changed, so as to promise them that their familiar environment will not change drastically and cause them trouble.

But Li Mugo did not promise that the problem of the team's lineup and the players' stay will not change, this is also a message he wants to release to the players, he can give them all kinds of support, or he can do everything according to their habits, but the premise is that their ability must pass, otherwise, he will never be soft.

Head coach Kevin Keegan then introduced the players of the team to Li Mu one by one, and when introducing Sun Jihai, before Kevin Keegan could speak, Li Mu looked at the familiar and heroic face in front of him, took the initiative to step forward, stretched out his hand to him, and said in Chinese at the same time: "Mr. Sun, I have heard of the name for a long time." ”

Sun Jihai didn't expect that since Li Mu knew him, he was flattered and said: "Mr. Li is too polite, I don't have any big name, I'm just an ordinary player." ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "There are not many players in China who can play in the five major leagues, you are one of them, and you are the first person to enter the Premier League, and you are the example and pride of domestic players, isn't this a big name?"

Sun Jihai laughed a few times and said: "In fact, there are many players who are stronger than me in China, but my luck is a little better, when I joined the Manchester City team, the Manchester City team was still in the first division, and everyone played very well last season, so I was confused to the Premier League......"

Li Mu laughed: "Mr. Sun doesn't need to be so modest, in my eyes, you are one of the top players in Chinese football." ”

Sun Jihai said humbly: "Thank you Mr. Li for affirming me, I will continue to work hard in the future and strive to live up to the club's trust in me." ”

Li Mu bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Brother Sun, you are older than me, I will call you Lao Sun." ”

Sun Jihai hurriedly said: "It's all right, you can call it whatever you want." ”

Li Mu then asked him: "By the way, Lao Sun, do you know Dong Fangzhuo's situation? I heard that he seems to be negotiating a contract with Manchester United?"

When he was talking to Jorge Mendes just now, Li Mu didn't mention Dong Fangzhuo to him, because he knew that Sun Jihai and Dong Fangzhuo were fellow countrymen, and the two were from the same city.

Sun Jihai listened to Li Mu ask about Dong Fangzhuo, nodded immediately, and said: "Xiao Dong is my fellow countryman, I know his situation better, Manchester United is indeed interested in him, and is currently negotiating with his agent, his agent is domestic, and it has been talked about at present. ”

Li Mu nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Since we haven't talked about it yet, it's easy to do, old grandson, can I ask you for something?"

Sun Jihai hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, please speak." ”

Li Mudao: "Later, you can help me contact Dong Fangzhuo's agent, tell him about my acquisition of Manchester City Club, and then tell him that I am very interested in Dong Fangzhuo, and hope that he can join the Manchester City team, and also ask him to help me ask, what is the offer of the Shide team, let them give me an offer as soon as possible, if it is suitable, complete the contract as soon as possible, I want to get him to the Manchester City team before the transfer window closes." ”

Saying that, Li Mu added: "By the way, you help me talk to them, just say that my side will do my best to cultivate Dong Fangzhuo, and provide him with enough opportunities to learn and improve, and also solve his labor certification problem, so that he can play directly in Manchester City." ”

Sun Jihai asked in surprise: "Mr. Li, can the problem of labor certification really be solved? The labor certification system here in the UK is more annoying, and if it is a domestic player, it is generally necessary to loan to other leagues first." ”

Li Mu smiled: "The labor certificate is not a problem, as long as he accepts my proposal, the labor certificate can be solved at any time." ”

Sun Jihai nodded again and again, and said, "Then I'll call Xiao Dong later, I believe he will be very excited if he knows the news." ”

……

By the time Ronaldo returned to Manchester United, training was nearing its end.

Normally, the team trains a little later, but because there is a game tomorrow, the head coach Sir Alex Ferguson has halved the amount of training for today, so that everyone can recharge for tomorrow's game.

Seeing Ronaldo come back, Ferguson patted him on the shoulder and said with a somewhat kind expression: "Cristiano, you must have a good rest today, and tomorrow I am ready to let you play to feel the rhythm of the Premier League game." ”

Ronaldo's eyes on Ferguson were a little evasive, he felt a little empty and guilty at this time, after all, Ferguson was still very good to himself, but he chose to join the Manchester City team in a breach of contract, if Ferguson knew all this, I am afraid he would be very disappointed.

However, Ronaldo also understands in his heart that although Ferguson is good, Li Mu is too strong, everyone hopes to be able to cool off behind such a superstar, and Ronaldo also hopes to join Li Mu's team.

Ferguson didn't see that Ronaldo was wrong, and as soon as he let Ronaldo come on the pitch for the last ten minutes of confrontation, the Nokia mobile phone in his pocket rang.

It was the CEO of Manchester United who called.

The first thing he said was: "Sir Alex Ferguson, please come to my office, there is an emergency." ”

Ferguson hurriedly took the review test back to the main building, went to the CEO's office, and pushed the door to find Jorge Mendes already sitting there.

Ferguson looked at the two of them in surprise and asked puzzledly, "Mr. Jill, what kind of emergency did you come to me?"

David Gill just became the CEO of Manchester United not long ago, thanks to the Russian tycoon Abu poached the previous CEO to Chelsea, he just took over the team, the new official has been trying to make some big moves, he hopes that this year's team can win the championship this season, this is not a dream, because Ferguson has always told him that the newly signed Cristiano Ronaldo is extraordinary, and if he is given the opportunity to grow, he will quickly become the hope of Manchester United's future.

However, it is such a player who is very optimistic about Ferguson, and suddenly he is about to be snatched away by others!

David Gill pointed at Jorge Mendes and said angrily: "Mendes just told me that someone is willing to trigger the liquidated damages mechanism in Cristiano Ronaldo's contract to forcibly poach him from Manchester United!"

Ferguson immediately became anxious and blurted out: "What? To forcibly poach Cristiano Ronaldo?!
