Carrington Training Base

Manchester United's players drove away after an afternoon of training and showering, but United's number one star Rooney did not leave, but turned around and went to the office of Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson.

When Wayne Rooney came in, Ferguson was in his office watching the Champions League match between Inter Milan and Barcelona.

Ferguson was not surprised at all to see Rooney, because it was he who kept Rooney. "Wayne, tell me why you refused to renew your contract?"

Rooney scratched his head, even in the face of the boss Glazer, he dared to say "You go ask my agent Stretford", but to Ferguson, Rooney could only say: "Boss,

Stretford want me to renew my contract after the Champions League final. ”

"What's the difference?" Ferguson stared sharply at Rooney, as if trying to see through his heart.

Wayne Rooney said honestly: "Because there are some things I don't want to say before the Champions League final. ”

Ferguson touched his rosacea, "Can you say anything to me?"

Wayne Rooney: "Yes, it's just my thoughts, I don't think we're dominating anymore because we haven't bought better players in the transfer market, we've been declining in competitiveness, and now we've lost the league title and the FA Cup, and if we lose the Champions League final to Inter Milan, we've only won the Carabao Cup, which is not what I want for Manchester United, I want the team to bring in more quality players and win more trophies." ”

Ferguson patiently listened to Rooney's words, suddenly slapped the table, and said angrily: "We have reached the Champions League final, we are one of the two best teams in Europe, and we have reached the final round of the title race with Chelsea, and you actually say that such a team is declining? Wayne, what kind of ecstasy soup did Stretford pour you, you actually said such bastard words." ”

Rooney was not afraid and said: "BOSS, I want to make Manchester United the best one, the League Cup title can't satisfy me." ”

Ferguson sneered: "You are so optimistic about our defeat last season, or do you look down on Manchester United so much?"

Rooney said stubbornly: "I'm telling you the truth, our strength is really not as good as Inter Milan now." ”

Ferguson tapped his finger on the table, his tone became calm, and said: "Say, Wayne, there are no outsiders here, do you think that the renewal conditions offered to you by the club are low." ”

Rooney didn't get used to Ferguson's changes, he touched his head, as if his brain was not enough, and said: "£150,000 is a lot more than my original £90,000, but Ballack is already earning £130,000 a week, and Stretford thinks I should be on par with Ronaldo." ”

Ferguson was so angry that he almost jumped, he barely controlled his anger, and said: "Wayne, we are Manchester United, not Real Madrid, the team is now in debt of 700 million pounds, and the owner just issued 500 million corporate bonds four months ago, do you think it may give you the world's first annual salary?"

Rooney said: "I'm not saying you have to surpass Ronaldo, but £150,000 a week is too little. ”

Ferguson sneered: "I thought the configuration of the team was not worthy of your ambition, it turned out that the salary was not worthy of your ambition." ”

Rooney said urgently: "No, BOSS, the configuration of the team is also very important, I hope that we will buy more good stars in the summer transfer, instead of using the money from the sale of Ronaldo to pay off the debt." ”

Ferguson's face sank and said: "Wayne, you don't need to worry about what the club uses the funds for, you just need to do your job well, it doesn't matter how much we invest in the transfer market, what matters is how well we do and whether we are a strong contender for the championship." ”

Rooney stopped talking.

Ferguson said: "Wayne, the Champions League final is down, don't say anything that affects the morale of the army before the big game, and don't let that bastard agent of yours say, if you are not satisfied with anything, then talk to David." Gil talks, talks to Glazer, keeps talking about the end of the Champions League final, don't make the decision to refuse to renew your contract at this time, let alone let your agent say it, understand? Wayne. ”

In the end, Ferguson has become very popular, in Ferguson's mind, Ronaldo is the best player in the world, of course, he can get the highest annual salary in the world, but Rooney can only be regarded as the best player in Manchester United, and he can get the highest annual salary in Manchester United, he is very dissatisfied with Rooney's lion mouth, but he thinks that this is all instigated by Rooney's agent Stretford, if possible, Ferguson wants to change Rooney's agent, such as Mendes.

"Yes, boss. ”

Rooney left with a grief in his stomach, because he felt that he was not asking too much, shouldn't the team buy people?

Shortly after Wayne Rooney's departure, Manchester United CEO David. Jill is here.

"Have you talked to Rooney?"

Seeing Ferguson, Gil couldn't wait to ask, Rooney's contract renewal is very important to Manchester United, now Manchester United is heavily in debt and cannot afford to buy a superstar, if Rooney leaves again, then Manchester United will be in danger.

"Talked. Ferguson peeled a piece of gum and put it in his mouth to relax.

"What did Rooney say?"

'Wayne Rooney is not happy with the salary offered by the team and he also wants the team to bring in a lot of reinforcements, and I can see that although Rooney also wants to do this, it is mainly his agent Stretford who has provoked it. ”

"150,000 pounds a week is a lot, similar to Messi, much higher than Inter Milan's annual salary for Xiao Donggao, can he be better than Messi and Gao Xiaodong?" said Gill fussed.

Ferguson frowned and said: "The salary looks negotiable, but Wayne Rooney is very unhappy with the team's purchase, which is very difficult. ”

Gil said: "Doesn't he know the team's plight? After Christmas, fans launched a green gold revolution to crowdfund Manchester United. ”

Ferguson said unceremoniously: "Players don't think from the boss's point of view, all they want is wins and titles. ”

Gill said dissatisfiedly: "The Glazer acquisition is a tragedy, if we don't sell Ronaldo in the past few years, and then buy Gao Xiaodong and Benzema, we can build a Manchester United dynasty." ”

Ferguson said: "Don't cry over the spilled milk, at least the Glazer boss didn't interfere with us in the transfer, we can buy whoever we want." ”

Gill said: "With such a transfer budget, who can we buy?"

Ferguson said nonchalantly: "Just keep Rooney and find a suitable replacement for Scholes, we have a good configuration in other positions and don't need to spend too much money." ”

Gill sighed: "Even though we lost the league title and the FA Cup, I think Mr Glazer should still give you a raise, otherwise any manager would not have achieved such results under such a transfer budget." ”

Ferguson smiled: "I support you in making such a proposal to Boss Glazer. ”

"But it's not so easy to keep Rooney or find Scholes' successor. ”

Ferguson said: "Rooney is okay, Scholes's replacement is really hard to find, he is one of the best midfielders in the world, not inferior to Xavi and Pirlo, I am looking for him to replace Ozil or Sneijder. Sneijder was more in line with my requirements. ”

Jill smiled slightly and said, "I remember that you have always been thinking about Xiao Donggao. ”

Ferguson sighed, "Of course I'm very optimistic about Xiao Donggao, it turns out that his attack is weaker and his defense is stronger, but this year, he has grown up very quickly, especially in the last few games of this season, his performance is phenomenal, last season was our only chance to buy him, I also convinced Mr. Glazer, but unfortunately it was disrupted by Mourinho, and now at least 80 million euros, we can't afford it." ”

Jill smiled mysteriously and said, "Sir, what do you think of the £500 million corporate bonds?"

Ferguson said: "That's a company business, I don't care. ”

Jill smiled: "The £500 million bond issue is to replace the previous syndicated loan. On the face of it, this seems like a thankless move: the annual interest rate jumped from around 6% to nearly 10% per annum on the syndicated loan, resulting in a hefty issuance fee of £15 million.

However, in this way, the pressure on Manchester United's debt principal in the near and medium term has been greatly eased, and it has been postponed until 2017, and the Glazer has more flexibility to move funds and decide whether to invest in the transfer market or repay the loan sharks borrowed by PIK, so the bond issuance is a more beneficial option for Manchester United. ”

Ferguson is not an economic expert, but Gil's analysis is reasonable and clear at a glance, and Ferguson's eyes immediately lit up, and he said: "You mean that we can actually have a huge transfer fund?"

"Yes, but you have to convince Mr. Glazer to put the money in the transfer market instead of paying off the debt," Gill said meaningfully. ”

Ferguson touched his rosacea, pondered for a while, and said, "I see." ”

Jill and Ferguson have worked together for many years, and he knows from Ferguson's burning eyes what he understands, and he has successfully provoked Ferguson's ambition to buy Gao Xiaodong, although the cost is astronomical, but as long as Ferguson is determined to do it, Glazer will not be able to stop Ferguson.

For Gil, the transfer power is not in his hands, and it has nothing to do with him whether Manchester United buys Gao Xiaodong or not, but since the "Red Knight" wants Manchester United to buy Gao Xiaodong, Gil does not mind facilitating this matter, because he does not support Glazer as the owner of Manchester United.
