Chapter 649: Advance to the quarterfinals
"Why! Why does that kid get the same salary as me!Jorge, you sue me, why?!"
International football super agent 'Mendez' looked at his most ace star Cristiano Ronaldo there hysterical venting, he did not answer Ronaldo's question, he knew that now Ronaldo needs not an answer, Manchester United No. 7 is just venting, venting his inner dissatisfaction. () starter
"I've done a lot for Manchester United, I've won the league, I've won the Super Cup, I've won the Champions League! I'm the best player on the planet! Cristiano Ronaldo was furious and snapped, and it was a cup that was thrown to the ground and torn apart.
"Cristiano! You're wrong. Mendes shook his head, "The Club World Cup was not won by Yang Fan, and you also have a lot of credit!"
"Yes, you're right. Ronaldo gritted his teeth and said.
He just circled there, and from time to time a few foul words burst into his mouth, as if he had calmed down, and sat down on the sofa to catch his breath.
"What do you think of Yang Fan?" asked Mendes suddenly.
Ronaldo looked up at Mendez and seemed surprised that he asked this question, and seeing that Mendez's expression was actually a little serious, he said, "I'll admit, Yang is a good guy! He really deserves to be my teammate. However, I am much better than him. ”
"Of course, I think so too, you are the most 'good'. Mendes said, and then he continued, "I'm glad that you're angry, but you're able to judge objectively. You see, you think Yang Fan is good, and I believe Sir Alex Ferguson thinks so too. ”
"What do you mean?"
The meaning is obvious. "In Sir Alex Ferguson's heart, Yang Fan's important 'sex' is already in the same position as yours. Manchester United's agreement to give Yang Fan the same salary package as you illustrates this problem. ”
"What do you want to say?"
"You know what I mean. Mendes said unceremoniously.
"I don't understand. ”
"You get the idea. It's just that your pride makes you reluctant to think like that for the time being. ”
"What the hell are you going to say?"
"Cristiano! I think you need to tell everyone that you are the best, and that anyone in front of you can only willingly admit defeat! If someone doesn't think so, you can make him regret it with your actions, even if that person's name is Alex Ferguson. ”
Ronaldo was silent. He's a very smart guy, of course he understands what his agent means, and his relationship with Mendes is not just a player-agent relationship, the two of them are the kind of close friends with a stake, you can say anything, there is no need to hide it.
In fact, Cristiano Ronaldo has made several transfers, and there is a restless factor in the bones of the Portuguese star in this regard, which is also inseparable from the promotion of 'Mendez' behind it. Mendes is a 'good' agent who has brought Cristiano Ronaldo a huge income and spares no effort to promote Ronaldo's image and commercial value.
In the summer of 2006, because of the conflict with Rooney in the World Cup, Ronaldo almost became England's public enemy, which also made Manchester United's No. 7 have an idea, and Ronaldo hid in his hometown and did not return to Manchester to clamoring for a transfer. And last summer, Cristiano Ronaldo longed for the Bernabeu stage, and he once again clamored to leave Manchester.
Twice in a row, to put it mildly, the love of the Manchester people for Cristiano Ronaldo has faded a lot. However, in the eyes of 'Mendez', this is nothing at all, Cristiano Ronaldo is the most 'good' player on the planet and never worries that no one wants it. And Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid in order to seek greater interests, this is what he has been promoting, to the delight of the 'Men' Des, Ronaldo himself is also very yearning for Real Madrid, but because Ferguson resolutely disagrees with the release, and Ronaldo does not want to fall out with Ferguson, he gave up. His job now is to implement this as much as possible, and this time Manchester United offered Yang Fan the same salary as Cristiano Ronaldo, which made 'Mentale' Des very happy, and he knew that this was an opportunity to further make Ronaldo's decision on Manchester United.
All he has to do now is add fuel to the fire.

10 March 2009, Old Trafford, UEFA Champions League matchday.
It was the second leg of the 2008/2009 Champions League quarter-finals, between Manchester United and Inter Milan.
The game was just as people had guessed before the game, with Inter Milan playing their back against the odds, and Mourinho fielded the strongest squad he could have at hand.
Manchester United, on the other hand, was also the main force, and despite a 4-2 win away from home, Ferguson did not dare to be careless in the face of Mourinho's old rival.
At the end of the first half, the score was 0-0!
The reaction of the two managers to this score was on their faces, with the camera capturing the smile on Alex Ferguson's face and Mourinho's face 'gloomy'.
That score meant Inter needed three goals in the second half if they were to progress, while also making sure they didn't concede. It was an exceptionally difficult task for Inter.
'Inter were more aggressive in the first half, but luck was clearly not on their side. This is how the commentator commented on the first half of the game.
Indeed, Inter Milan, who had their backs to the water and desperately needed to score, attacked fiercely in the first half and were very close to scoring at one point, but Ibrahimovic and Adriano each had a 'shot' or 'goal' hit the crossbar or the post, which is why the commentator said that Inter Milan was unlucky.
As for Manchester United, they are prepared for the predicament they faced in the first half, because Inter Milan lost 2-4 at home in the first leg, and Inter Milan will have to fight hard in this game.
So, despite not being able to score in the first half, the Manchester United players were happy to accept the 0-0 scoreline. That means they're one step closer to the quarter-finals.
The only thing that is not very happy may be Yang Fan, because the Manchester United team was relatively passive in the first half, so Manchester United also had some good offensive opportunities, which means that Yang Fan has no chance to score. This naturally made him a little depressed.
He's hungry to score!
※※※※※※※
“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!”
Just three minutes into the second half of the game, the entire Old Trafford stadium was boiling, and in the commentator's excited goal, Yang Fan ran on the pitch, roaring loudly, and constantly raising his arms to celebrate the goal!
Wayne Rooney was brought down by Cambiaso in front of goal and United were awarded a free-kick. Giggs's free kick flew into the penalty area, Vidic's header was saved by Cesar, Zanetti cleared not far away, which caused a 'chaos' and 'chaos' in the Inter Milan penalty area, in the 'chaos' battle, Yang Fan's clever stabbing 'shot', broke through Inter Milan's goal 'goal'!
It was a goal that made Inter Milan almost desperate.
"1-0! Manchester United took the lead, Yang Fan scored for them!"
"Yang Fan has scored! This is almost the goal that ensures Manchester United reach the last eight!"
As the commentator said, Yang Fan's goal is worth a thousand gold, this goal not only made Manchester United lead 1-0, but also expanded the total score of the two sides to 5-2, in this way, Inter Milan wants to turn the tables, must score four goals in less than 45 minutes left! This is almost an impossible task!
"***!" Mourinho burst into a foul language, Yang Fan's goal was too big a blow to Inter Milan, and this goal almost made Inter Milan desperate!
What Mourinho regrets the most now is? What he regrets the most is that he failed to make up his mind to poach Yang Fan to Inter Milan last summer, when Mourinho insisted on introducing Yang Fan, with Inter Milan President Moratti's attention to Mourinho and the chairman's desire for the Champions League trophy, Inter Milan did not have the possibility of spending a huge amount of money to introduce Yang Fan.
Ferguson replaced Yang Fan when he played 69 minutes in the game, and when he was replaced, the score on the field was still 1-0!
The reason why Yang Fan was replaced, on the one hand, was because the overall situation had been decided, and on the other hand, Ferguson began to notice that the mentality of Inter Milan's players was unbalanced, and there were more fouls in the game, especially Yang Fan, who was the object of Inter Milan's 'key care', Yang Fan was shoveled to the ground twice, which frightened Ferguson, Yang Fan could not be injured!
Therefore, Ferguson's replacement of Yang Fan is also to protect Yang Fan and avoid injury. Of course, this is also to prevent Yang Fan's anger from coming up and clashes with Inter Milan players. Yang Fan is not a good person, not the kind of person who does not fight back after being violated. Of course, replacing Yang Fan in advance is also an opportunity for Yang Fan to accept the courtesy of the full-court 'fans' cheering alone.
※※※※※※※
Inter Milan really fought hard in this game. Ibrahimovi's form should be said to be good, Adriano is also fighting hard today, and it can be seen that he is playing with his life. This is rare, Adriano's attitude today can be said to be rare in the past year with correctness and hard work.
However, the game was destined to be 'unfair' for Inter Milan from the start, and of course, it was also Inter's debt for their poor performance at home, and they had already set the stage for the tragic fate of the second leg when they lost 4-2 at home to Manchester United.
In this game, Manchester United has a huge psychological advantage, they have a score of four to two anyway, and the mentality is relatively good, and after Yang Fan scored for Manchester United shortly after the start of the second half, the Manchester United players are even more relaxed, in such a relaxed mentality, they can calmly handle every ball, can waste time! Anyway, it is not them who are in a hurry.
On the other hand, on the Inter side, their players began to be impatient, and as time passed, the whole Inter Milan team was out of balance, and in such a situation, it was no wonder that Inter Milan was able to turn the tables.
Therefore, as the media said after the game, Yang Fan's hat trick in the first leg put Inter Milan in trouble, and a goal in this game put Inter Milan into despair. It can even be said that Yang Fan eliminated Inter Milan alone.
The final score of the match was 1-0, and Manchester United beat Inter Milan 1-0 at home, knocking out Serie A leaders Inter Milan 5-2 on aggregate!
