Chapter 489: Grand Appearance
Chapter 489 made a grand appearance
In the dressing room at Old Trafford, Yang Fan met Manchester United CEO Gil who was waiting there.
"Welcome to Old Trafford, Young. "Gil is in a very good mood now, Yang Fan's strength is undoubted, otherwise, Ferguson would not rather turn his face with the club owner and win Yang Fan. What surprised Gil was the market development value of Yang Fan's body, and from China's CCTV was willing to pay for Yang Fan's physical examination and joining process, he saw the huge influence of this player in China. He had just heard a number from a Chinese reporter that at least nearly seven million Chinese fans stayed up late to watch the live broadcast of the franchise process.
7 million!
This figure shocked Gil, and he could not have imagined that just joining Manchester United would cause such a stir and attention. This gave him a new estimate of the commercial value of the Chinese star.
Yang Fan and Jill had a short but candid meeting, of course, his agent Baker was also involved in the talks, and it was mainly Baker who communicated with Jill.
With the successful joining of Yang Fan, he is already thinking about how to make money from the Chinese market, in China, Manchester United has a good fan base, and now, with Yang Fan's joining, he believes that not only in China, but also in the Far East, Manchester United's popularity will further rise. This is a great opportunity for Manchester United to further develop the Asian market.
Jill promised Yang Fan that he would maximize Yang Fan's commercial value and achieve a win-win situation for both the player and the club.
Baker also seemed very happy that Manchester United's commercial development has been doing well, as Gil said, Manchester United will maximize the development of Yang Fan's commercial value, and Yang Fan will also earn greater benefits while Manchester United team profits.

Manchester United Club attaches great importance to Yang Fan's joining, and specially held this meeting with fans for Yang Fan. Manchester United fans have also been enthusiastic about the arrival of the talented star, and Gill has just told him that he will be welcomed by around 30,000 fans at Old Trafford.
The European Cup has just ended, and Manchester United's new season training camp has not yet begun, in such a situation, more than 30,000 fans can come to the scene to welcome Yang Fan, this is already a very spectacular welcome ceremony.
Before preparing to go out to meet the fans, Yang Fan met Ferguson for the first time, and although the two had spoken on the phone many times, this was the first meeting between him and the godfather of Manchester United.
Ferguson was in a good mood and red-faced.
Yang Fan took the initiative to greet Ferguson, "Boss." ”
Jill next to him laughed, Yang Fan was a little inexplicable, and Ferguson laughed. It's like the prank after the triumph.
"Is there something wrong?"
Gill laughs and explains that in the Manchester United team, some of the veteran staff may call Ferguson the boss, but within the team, the players refer to Ferguson as the owner. Of course, things like Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo sometimes call Ferguson Daddy. Gil didn't say that, which shows Ferguson's preference for Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo.
"Boss, I'm an honest man. Yang Fan scratched his head and said. Meaning, old man, you're not right, pranking and ridiculing honest people.
Ferguson laughed, he pointed at Yang Fan and said, "Okay, okay, you are an honest person, this is not honest." ”
Yang Fan touched his nose and didn't know what to say. This old Scottish man is too prestigious, and Yang Fan can't grasp this old man, in case he says the wrong thing, it will not be good.
"Alright, alright, kid, don't be nervous. Ferguson said with a smile as he extended his right hand to Yang Fan, "This is Old Trafford, welcome to you, boy." ”
"Thanks, boss, I won't let you down. Yang Fan replied.

When Yang Fan walked out of the passage, the scene was thunderous, and Yang Fan looked up and saw the five-star red flag fluttering in the stands, which was a gathering place for students and Chinese fans in the United Kingdom, who rushed to Old Trafford from all over the United Kingdom to welcome Yang Fan today.
In the stands of the Volkswagen Arena in Wolfsburg, the five-star red flag is often seen, but seeing this scene at the famous Old Trafford Stadium makes Yang Fan's heart more excited. [To read the latest chapters of this book, please search]
The Chinese national flag will become the most popular and beautiful scenery in this stadium! He said to himself: Starting today, the Chinese national flag will occupy this football temple.
"Go, kid, today you are the protagonist. Ferguson encouraged his beloved juniors like a kind old man.
Yang Fan strutted his head high, and he walked on the red carpet.
On both sides of the carpet were reporters, and as Yang Fan walked with his head held high, the flash was loud, and the sound of clicking the shutter was the only sound.
Ferguson was like an old hen protecting the chickens, escorting Yang Fan to the rostrum.
Seeing this scene, Bai Yansong was also full of emotion, "This day is destined to be remembered by Chinese fans, Old Trafford Stadium ushered in a Chinese star, this is the most expensive transfer star in the history of this century-old store! It can be seen that Ferguson likes Yang Fan very much, and we also look forward to Yang Fan being able to achieve brilliant achievements in this stadium and in this great club!"
Manchester United CEO Gil stood in front of the microphone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is a wonderful day. "I'm glad you were here for such a welcoming ceremony. I'm also glad that Manchester United have a great player......" he said, gesturing to Yang Fan next to him. Say to him: "Young, welcome to Old Trafford!
As soon as his words fell, there was a huge cheer in the stands.
Manchester United has not been able to exert force in the process of chasing Yang Fan before, which also makes some media think that Manchester United has given up chasing Yang Fan, and there are two reasons for them, one is that Manchester United has Cristiano Ronaldo, and Yang Fan is no longer needed, and the other is that Manchester United fans are not interested in this Chinese player from the middle of the Bundesliga.
However, obviously, this is just the nonsense of the media, for this popular scorer in European football, how can Manchester United fans not like it? Especially Yang Fan in the Bundesliga, led Wolfsburg to Bayern Munich three times in a row, which made Manchester United fans also enjoy watching, you know, Bayern Munich is Manchester United's traditional opponent to dominate the European competition, Manchester United is in the 1999 Champions Cup final reversal victory over Bayern Munich, to reach the top of the European competition, there is a new dynasty of Manchester United.
Such a talented young man with a promising future is naturally welcomed by Manchester United fans.
In addition, it has to be mentioned that Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid secretly exchanged each other this summer, which also made some Manchester United fans unhappy with the Portuguese star. The arrival of Yang Fan also reassured Manchester United fans, even if the worst situation of Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Manchester United occurs, they will not be in a hurry.
"Daily Mirror" analyzed the reason why Ferguson spent a sky-high price to introduce Yang Fan, in addition to Yang Fan's extraordinary strength and Ferguson's favor, it is not excluded that there is a rainy day for Cristiano Ronaldo to leave one day.
To get back to the point, Manchester United fans gave Yang Fan the warmest welcome.
※※※※※※※
Jill handed the microphone to Yang Fan and motioned for him to say a few words.
Yang Fan hugged Alex Ferguson next to him before walking over to the microphone and starting his first speech to Manchester United fans.
'I'm very happy to join Manchester United. Yang Fan said, "I know what a great club this is, it has a long history, there are so many championships in the club's honor room, this is a heavy historical heritage! I know the glorious history of this team, and I also know how great this team is." I hope that through my hard work, I can bring more trophies to the team!
Then Yang Fan raised his arms and shouted: "Hello, great Old Trafford, I'm here." ”
His words detonated the entire stadium. The atmosphere of the audience reached a **** by this time.
The fans also applauded and cheered, and they were shouting: Yang, Yang, Yang!
Yang Fan then performed a juggling performance, showing the fans his football skills, which is a necessary step for every new player to join a team.
Then, Yang Fan and the club's CEO, Jill, hugged. And Ferguson hugged him.
After a week around the pitch, he stood under the stands of United's most die-hard fans and kicked a couple of autographed footballs into the stands.
Finally, as Manchester United fans chanted his surname 'Yang' in unison, Yang Fan and Manchester United godfather Alex Ferguson stood in the middle of the pitch and took a group photo together.
Ferguson's face was full of red light, Yang Fan had a confident smile on his face, and this group photo of the old and the young was later kept in the honor room of the Zài Manchester United Club to commemorate this great moment.

After the welcome ceremony in the stadium, Yang Fan went to Ferguson's office, and then signed his personal contract in front of the cameras of reporters.
It's a five-year contract!
Ferguson showed his courage in Yang Fan's transfer process, throwing a sky-high price of 35 million pounds, and finally successfully brought Yang Fan to Old Trafford on a five-year contract.
After the signing, Yang Fan also accepted a gift, which was given to Yang Fan by Manchester United King Eric Cantona, a signed shirt from his time at Manchester United, as a sign of support and encouragement for the Chinese star to join Manchester United.
This is also the first time Yang Fan has met the Manchester United king.
As the two men embraced, Cantona whispered, "Well done, boy, Manchester United need a new king." ”
Yang Fan was stunned and looked at Cantona, who winked at him.
In fact, Yang Fan wanted to say, I don't want to do Cantona II, I just want to be Yang Fan I. However, in the end, he wisely resisted and did not say this, on the one hand, because Cantona could also see that he supported himself by saying this, which was a good intention, and he could not ignore what was good or bad, and secondly, if he really did it with a hot brain, who knows if the grumpy king would be mad on the spot. This one has a temper tantrum.
Yang Fan was then accompanied by Alex Ferguson to Manchester United's press conference hall, where he would face the famously tricky English media for the first time.
Later, Yang Fan received the red shirt of Manchester United's home stadium with his name on it but not in the way of Cantona, and then he and Ferguson hugged for a while, and the three of them took the shirt together to show it to the media.
Manchester United's former king, Eric Cantona, is on the left, Yang Fan is in the middle, and on the right is Manchester United's godfather Alex Ferguson.
This is a high-profile treatment that Cristiano, Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney did not enjoy when they joined Manchester United.
Click, click, click......
In an instant, the flashing lights were linked.
This picture is also frozen at this moment.
It was also officially announced that all the processes and procedures for Yang Fan to join Manchester United have been completed, and he is now officially a member of the Premier League's top giants.
※※※※※※※
Real Madrid's vow to bring Cristiano Ronaldo to the Santiago Bernabeu not only angered Ferguson, but also made the English media hate him, and now, Ferguson has almost snatched Yang Fan from Real Madrid's mouth to Manchester United.
After Yang Fan officially joined Manchester United, the media in England were also singing praises for Ferguson, believing that the old Scottish man had given the proud Real Madrid a slap in the face.
At the same time, another Premier League coach Wenger was also pulled out by some media to ridicule, because everyone on the earth knows Wenger's appreciation of Yang Fan, but the professor has been reluctant to pay money, in the summer of last year, Arsenal was only willing to pay 10 million, and finally watched Yang Fan was officially bought out by Wolfsburg, in this summer, the professor has been hesitant in the face of Yang Fan's value of more than 40 million euros, and finally missed Yang Fan again.
The Manchester Evening News sarcastically said that Arsene Wenger was a miser who wanted to be greedy but was not willing to spend money.
This has angered Arsenal fans, even though they are unhappy with the club's performance in recent seasons, with Arsene Wenger in his twelfth year in charge and the 2005 FA Cup title being a watershed moment. Three years have passed since then, and the Gunners have not been able to win a single trophy.
However, Arsenal fans still published an article in The Times to express their support for Arsene Wenger.
"Three years without a title has put a lot of pressure on the professor, but despite this, Wenger has never changed his perfectionist style. His football philosophy is to stay financially healthy and not burn money or go into debt to win championships.
In 1996, because of his rich coaching experience and enterprising football style in Ligue 1 and Japan's J League, Wenger was favored by Arsenal's top management...... 49 games unbeaten, three Premier League trophies, four FA Cup titles, these accolades come from Arsene Wenger, and more importantly, Arsenal have a pleasing style of football, which is the brand that Wenger has put on the team. Some say Arsene Wenger is lost in the general trend of international football and the professor is out of step with the times. But in the materialistic world of international football, Arsenal, who are shy in their pockets, can break into the last 16 of the Champions League every year, which in itself shows the professor's painstaking management. According to the London Evening Standard in 2007, Arsene Wenger spent only £3.54 million on an average of £3.54 million per player, a figure equivalent to just 40.9 per cent of Ferguson's side. Arsenal are fortunate to have such a sane and wise coach. This time, even if he misses Yang Fan, the professor will not regret it......"
On the second day of Yang Fan's arrival at Manchester United, Arsene Wenger was having breakfast when he saw an article in The Times in which Arsenal fans defended him and showed their support.
The professor smiled bitterly, in fact, it was not what this article said, this time, he really regretted it, just when he learned that Manchester United won Yang Fan with 35 million, he regretted it. Arsene Wenger certainly knows that money is not necessary to win the title, and Arsenal won their last two Premier League trophies in 2002 and 2004, two of the most expensive seasons for Wenger.
As the first coach to pay attention to Yang Fan, Wenger was even more deeply shocked by the progress and potential of this young man, and he really regretted his hesitation. He began to realize that if he missed Yang Fan this time, it may be that Arsenal will never have a chance with this Chinese star, because, the further he goes, the higher Yang Fan's value will be, which is even more than Arsenal can afford......
Ferguson feared that he would regret missing Yang Fan, and the old Scottish man showed his boldness. Compared with the old Scottish man, the French professor is indeed inferior in courage.
Looking at the photo of Wenger and Yang Fan in the newspaper, Wenger felt very uncomfortable.
This nasty Scotsman always does things that make him unhappy.
Now, Arsene Wenger would rather Yang Fan join Real Madrid or even other Premier League teams, as long as it is not Manchester United.
It's a pity that Yang Fan joined Manchester United.
The next day, Arsenal officially announced that they had agreed on a move for France's young star Nasri, who had paid £12 million for the talented midfielder from Marseille.
The English media was a little surprised that Arsenal was so quick to deal with Nasri's transfer, because just a few days ago, they got the news that Arsenal and Marseille were at an impasse over Nasri's transfer fee, and Arsenal was only willing to pay 8 million pounds, and Marseille insisted that it would not be sold for 12.5 million pounds. Unexpectedly, Arsenal suddenly exerted force and took Nasri down.
Almost at the same time, Real Madrid also suddenly announced that they had brought in Dutch international Van der Vaart from Hamburg for 13 million euros.
However, the media noticed that Real Madrid coach Schuster did not have much smile on his face at Van der Vaart's signing ceremony. Obviously, Ferguson suddenly snatched Yang Fan away with a horizontal bar, which made Schuster very depressed. Yang Fan is a player he handpicked, and what is even more rare is that Calderon and Mijatovic also expressed their recognition, which was a good thing, but it was disrupted by Manchester United.
Schuster was just too depressed.
