Chapter 729: Scandal Breaks Out (For the Heavenly King Covering the Earth 1 Alliance Leader)
The warm-up match against the Irish Stars was United's final warm-up game of the summer season and the only one in the Reds' 2010 summer warm-up programme to be set on European soil.
Prior to that, the Reds had played five warm-up games in North America, with a 3-2 record, beating the Celtics 3-1, narrowly beating Philadelphia United 1-0, losing 1-2 to the Kansas Wizards and beating the Major League Stars 5-2. Lost 3-2 to Manchester United teenager Hernandez's former club Guadalajara, Mexico.
The warm-up match with the Irish Stars team finally achieved a hearty victory, Manchester United swept the Irish Stars 9:1, Gao Xiaodong scored 4 goals, Rooney scored twice, and the two little fat men were radiant.
Although it is only a warm-up game and the opponent is not strong, Gao Xiaodong's strength has been undoubtedly revealed, you must know that Gao Xiaodong is not a striker, just like the commentator of Sky Sports said, even if Gao Xiaodong is placed in the position of right back, maybe Gao Xiaodong can also brush up the top scorer.
Wayne Rooney's strong form has also made United even more reluctant to sell Rooney to rivals Chelsea and Manchester City, preferring to sell Rooney to Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter Milan.
Although Manchester United has always said that they do not want to sell, according to media estimates, the bid of Chelsea and Manchester City, who are still seeking to buy Wayne Rooney, is too low.
Chelsea are only willing to pay 55 million euros, and Manchester City is slightly higher, but only 65 million euros.
For a 25-year-old mature man who has not entered the top three of the Ballon d'Or, Manchester City's price is still good, similar to Ibukaka.
However, Sky Sports believes that Manchester United's psychological price tag must be at least more than 70 million euros in order to make up for the loss of buying Gao Xiaodong.
But for Chelsea and Manchester City, it is really not cost-effective to buy a striker who has no room for appreciation for more than 70 million, because after three years, the transfer value will shrink by at least one-third.
And Manchester United's 80 million to buy Gao Xiaodong, although there is also a risk of water falling, but Gao Xiaodong's combat power is here, and there is still the potential for appreciation, and buying Rooney for more than 70 million is a real loss-making deal.
When negotiations were at an impasse, Wayne Rooney's performance in the Community Shield final between Manchester United and Chelsea three days later was key to his transfer.
In March 2002, the English Government reported that the FA had breached the rules governing the use of funds when using the proceeds from the Charity Shield. The Charity Shield has since been renamed the Community Shield.
Founded in 1908 and hosted by the English Football Association, the Community Shield is an annual tournament between the English Premier League winner and the English FA Cup winner. If a team wins both the Premier League and FA Cup, the team will be runners-up in the Premier League. The tournament is held at Wembley Stadium as the opening match before the start of the season each year.
Manchester United is the team that has won the most Community Shields, a total of 16 times, although before 04 years in the Premier League was circulated in the Championship to win the Community Shield and lose the curse of the league title, but Manchester United broke the curse twice, so Manchester United is not afraid to win the championship, for this Community Shield, Manchester United is also imperative, and strive to hit Chelsea's morale before the league starts.
As the protagonists of this Community Shield, Wayne Rooney and Gao Xiaodong are also very active in training, hoping to perform well against Chelsea.
The preparation for the first day was business as usual, with Wayne Rooney performing well and scoring a hat-trick in the group duel.
However, overnight, because of a report in the famous English tabloid "News of the World", English football and Manchester United exploded.
The British "News of the World" exposed that Rooney alleged that Rooney had fooled around with prostitutes who charged £1,200 each time when Colleen was pregnant in June last year, and that Rooney had sex with 21-year-old Jenny Thompson several times during the months of transactions. Jenny also told News of the World that Rooney also asked Jenny and her beautiful friend to fulfill his dream of flying together.
Then the Sunday Mirror broke more news, saying that Rooney had visited the cheap brothel in Liverpool about 10 times, and each time the "meat money" was £45. The group includes a mother of six, a 37-year-old black-haired sister Gina in leather boots, and a 48-year-old grandmother named Auld Slapper.
Rooney was a prostitute and once signed an autograph for a client waiting in the lounge. On one occasion, a group of prostitutes sent a text message that Rooney was in a brothel, which attracted about 30 fans to chant the name of their idol in the brothel. As for the most classic, of course, when the police went to the brothel to check the card, Rooney was not afraid of being arrested and discredited, and still fell asleep on the sofa.
Subsequently, the more authoritative British lace newspaper "The Sun" confirmed that the picture of Rooney's prostitution "Double Flying" had been secretly filmed. Rooney also slept with 60 prostitutes in the 18 months before and after Colleen's pregnancy. Also with 21-year-old prostitute Jenny Thompson in the family's mansion**.
The Sun also reported on Rooney's sexual privacy, such as low sexual performance, unique tastes, and a penchant for role-playing.
More serious media like "The Times" and "Daily Mail" did not follow up at first, but after seeing the lace tabloid report, Rooney did not refute the rumors, and knew that this was probably true, so they also began to add fuel to the fire, and English football became lively again after Terry's friend's wife.
Previously, Rooney claimed that his life had completely changed after having children, creating an image of a good family man and a good father, which won him a lot of high sponsorships and endorsement contracts.
Now that these peachy scandals have been exposed, the print media and netizens have launched an overwhelming verbal attack on Rooney.
After learning the truth about Rooney's prostitution scandal, Colleen angrily left their £4.5 million villa with her son and returned to her parents' home, and a Colleen best friend said that Colleen said that she would never forgive Rooney again and that she was going to divorce Rooney.
Originally, Chelsea and Manchester City were snapping up Rooney, but after the prostitution came out, Chelsea and Manchester City fans said online that such players were not welcome to their home team.
Chelsea fans say that one John Terry has already brought the Blues into disrepute, and with the addition of a prostitute, how can they be embarrassed to say they are Chelsea fans in the future.
Manchester City fans said that players who are not loyal to their wives and families can be loyal to their careers, referring to Xiao Luo, players who drink and gamble every day, the peak period will definitely not be too long.
And Manchester United's fans are also busy pushing Rooney outward, saying that the transfer fee does not need 70 million euros now, and it will be sold at a 20% discount, and if it is given 60 million, it will be delivered to the door immediately if it is stunned.
Manchester United did not dare to protect Rooney for such an outrageous thing, and manager Alex Ferguson wanted Rooney to apologize to his wife and fans like a man, and said that considering Rooney's situation, Rooney would not be sent to play in the Community Shield.
England coach Fabio Capello hated the most about a player breaking out such a peachy scandal, so after the incident broke out, Capello said that he might not let him play against Switzerland.
The impact of prostitution on Rooney is not only on his family and professional future, but also on Rooney's business empire.
Wayne Rooney has been one of the most commercially valuable stars in English football since David Beckham, far ahead of the likes of Gerard Terry. The agent put him in touch with a large number of sponsors, and Rooney received £7.6 million a year from the image rights alone. In addition, he has been able to get large sponsorships from companies such as EA Games and Coca-Cola, and Rooney ranked 13th in the list of players earning players published by France Football last year.
A large reason why many sponsors are flocking to Rooney, who is not very good in personal image, is that Rooney's image of a good man who cares for his family and considerate wife is gone, and is replaced by an image of a hypocrite who deceives the pillow and the whole society.
While sponsors EA and Coca-Cola have both said they will continue to work with Rooney, no one knows if this is just a stopgap statement. After all, after Woods's peachy scandal broke out, although the sponsors said that this was Woods' personal incident and would not affect the cooperation, but soon after, the major sponsors terminated their contracts with Woods.
In short, Rooney, who was still a sweet and sweet in the transfer market, became a street rat that everyone shouted at almost overnight, and if he didn't handle it well, he could fall into a situation where his family was broken up and his future was ruined.
