Tang Hong hopes to finalize the transfer before returning to China, and he himself needs to make a careful decision.

Manchester United, Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund can all go to these three clubs, and the style of play matches his characteristics, although the competitiveness of the league is different, but they all start as Champions League teams.

When it comes to playing style, Dortmund actually has an advantage over Manchester United and Arsenal, because it is more in line with the trend of the future times, and it is always better to be at the forefront than to follow the trend, but the disadvantage is that the overall competitiveness of the Bundesliga is not as good as the Premier League.

If you go to Dortmund, then there is only one goal in the civil war, and you can win the championship by killing Bayern Munich.

The Premier League is different, Manchester City's last-minute Aguero stunner brought about a drastic change in the Premier League, the Premier League champions have a new face, and at the same time, Manchester City has replicated Chelsea's golden power to push the club to the top of the country.

From the point of view of competitive pressure, Manchester United and Arsenal have an advantage over Borussia Dortmund.

Manchester United's biggest advantage is Alex Ferguson, but Tang Hong knows that this advantage is very uncertain.

When did Ferguson retire?

Historically, he would only be in charge for one more season, retiring in the summer of 2013.

Then came a long period of turmoil for Manchester United.

Arsenal's only advantage is that Arsene Wenger has at least been in charge of Arsenal for a little longer, and is otherwise inferior to Manchester United.

Tang Hong had a telephone conversation with Ferguson through Mendes, and Tang Hong told Ferguson very clearly: If I decide to join Manchester United, it is because you will be in charge of Manchester United for a long time, and I hope you can make guarantees.

Ferguson is naturally a mouthful.

After thinking about it for another day, Tang Hong replied to Mendes: "Inform Manchester United of my conditions, I can join Manchester United, but the contract is only for two years, and they don't agree to go to Arsenal or Dortmund." ”

When Mendes arrived in Manchester with Tang Hong's conditions to negotiate with Manchester United's senior management, Tang Hong had already sorted out his things at his home in Braga, although he was not sure where to go, but there was nothing wrong with packing up first, after all, he would definitely leave.

Looking at the clothes packed in the house, Tang Hong spread his hands to Sun Rou and said: "Look, my clothes have been packed in eight boxes and can't be filled, at least half of them have not been worn, making me the same as the kind of woman who buys bags and shoes when she has nothing to do, you look at your clothes, three boxes are finished, buy more beautiful clothes for yourself when you go shopping in the future, give yourself different clothes every day, and be in a beautiful mood, right?" ”

Sun Rou only listened to it and didn't say anything, as if she didn't feel at ease with Tang Hong's words.

All they need to pack and take away is clothes and a small amount of daily necessities, the rest are still here, the villa is not going to be sold, Tang Hong will keep this property, not to talk about investment, in exchange for Lisbon or Porto may still have investment value, Braga's real estate in the long run has very limited room for appreciation.

But it's also nice to have a place to stay in Portugal, which is less than an hour from Porto.

Chen Manhong also wanted to take away the massage table and ring equipment, but Tang Hong shook his head and said: "From the cost consideration, the transportation cost is better than buying a new home." ”

Chen Manhong thought about it and gave up.

Just as they were tired from a busy day and began to enjoy dinner, Mendez's phone called.

"Hong, Manchester United don't agree, if 23 million euros can only sign you for two years, then the initiative to transfer next summer will make them very passive.

They even suspect that you are trying to make a huge profit by making frequent transfers. ”

Tang Hong laughed and said: "Okay, then you tell them my real concerns, I can take a step back, if Ferguson is still in charge of Manchester United next summer, I must force a contract extension with Manchester United for another year, this is a 2+1 clause."

What do you think? ”

Mendes hung up the phone after thinking about it, and after he conveyed Tang Hong's new conditions to Manchester United, after a day of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement.

On May 31, Tang Hong departed from Braga alone to Manchester, England, and Mendes waited for a long time at Manchester Airport.

When Tang Hong, who was wearing a casual T-shirt and jeans and fashionable sunglasses, walked out of the airport, Mendes had not stepped forward to walk in front of him, and a group of people with cameras began to take pictures of Tang Hong from nowhere, and asked nonsense around him.

"Don, did you come to Manchester to join Manchester United?"

"Why did you turn down Real Madrid?"

"Did Manchester United promise you a labor certification for you?"

......

Tang Hong ignored the reporters on both sides who were almost a meter away from him, and this kind of scene was not good to greet Mendes too much, and after Mendes had an entourage around him to block the reporters, the two got into the car together and went straight to Manchester United's Carrington training base.

Tang Hong will undergo a medical examination there, and after passing the medical examination, he will be able to reach an agreement with Manchester United, and the final transfer will have to wait until he gets his labor certification.

There were also a number of reporters waiting outside the Carrington training base, especially the local media in Manchester, whose internal sources made them even more certain that Tang Hong would be there today.

Ferguson is already on holiday but has come to the training base from his home in Cheshire.

When Tang Hong and Mendes got off the bus at the Carrington training base, they were greeted by two bosses on United's board.

CEO David Gill and head coach Alex Ferguson.

Mendes stepped forward to shake hands with the two old acquaintances, Tang Hong saw the smiling Ferguson, stepped forward and took the initiative to greet him: "I didn't expect you to come too, it's my honor." ”

After shaking Tang Hong's hand, Ferguson patted him on the shoulder like an elder and smiled: "I believe this will be a moment of great significance for Manchester United, how can you be absent?" ”

Tang Hong smiled, shook hands with Jill, and then walked into the building of the Carrington training base to begin the physical examination.

The physical examination is just a formality, but for a transfer of more than 20 million euros, Manchester United Club will naturally be cautious, especially for players from small teams, perhaps the medical conditions of small teams are not developed, resulting in players may have some hidden diseases without being aware of them.

It wasn't until the evening that Tang Hong underwent various physical examinations, and the medical team of Manchester United Club gave Ferguson and Gil a very satisfactory result: don't look at this kid is not tall, but he is as strong as a cow!

Tang Hong's very low body fat percentage is due to strict diet control and long-term adherence to planned training.

After passing the medical examination, Manchester United and Braga will also start the transfer procedure for Tang Hong.

Due to China's FIFA ranking and Tang Hong's attendance with the national team for only one year, Manchester United needed to apply for a labor certification for him.

The FA will definitely reject Manchester United's transfer application, and according to the rules, Tang Hong just can't get a labor permit.

At this time, Manchester United will activate the special genius clause on appeal, and decide whether to grant Tang Hong's labor certificate after a hearing by the FA.

There is no need to worry about this, just with Tang Hong's performance in the Portuguese Super League last season, he has absolutely no problem getting a labor certificate.

It's just that in terms of time, it will take a while for his transfer to officially come to an end.

Ferguson invited Tang Hong to his house for dinner, and said that his wife's cooking skills were very poor, but Tang Hong still declined, and he was going back to China to participate in the national team training.

Ferguson asked him to pay attention not to get injured in the national team, looking forward to seeing a full and healthy Tang Hong when he prepares for the summer season.

Mendes personally sent Tang Hong to the airport, and the two sat in the back of the car and chatted on the way.

Mendes sighed: "Manchester United gave you the best contract treatment, not even the top three, the most angry is that Zenit St. Petersburg gave you an annual salary of 6 million euros, Chelsea also gave 4.5 million pounds, Manchester United only 3.5 million pounds.

However, Tang Hong, don't you really think about taking advantage of your business value?

Endorse some products, use your free time to attend some events, and I can guarantee that you will make far more money each year than you would earn at the club. ”

Mendes is actually quite content, last year he successfully became Tang Hong's agent, and a year later Tang Hong transferred to Manchester United, he was able to get more than two million pounds from Manchester United, and a small share of Tang Hong's annual salary.

But in the spirit of excellence and profit maximization, he also expects his clients to make more money themselves, because the player's sports career is short and fragile, and there is nothing wrong with earning a good guarantee for a better life in the future as early as possible.

Tang Hong shook his head slightly and said, "I said my conditions when we first met, and I don't plan to change my principles now. ”

Mendez sighed lightly and said, "Okay, then I won't discuss this topic again, and not in the future, if you change your mind, you can take the initiative to tell me."

But I need to remind you that if you want to be a great star, in this era where information traffic dominates eyeballs and popularity, commercial hype is essential, because then you can have a bigger popularity base. ”

Tang Hong was thoughtful when he heard this, but he didn't respond again.

After returning to Braga, Tang Hong informed Chen of the results of his trip to Manchester, and asked her to start looking for a new house in Manchester.

This matter is not particularly anxious, after all, it will take time for the FA to reject Manchester United's transfer and then hold a hearing, and Tang Hong will now return to China to compete in the top ten matches in the Asian region of the World Preliminaries!

All it takes is to wait until the beginning of July for Manchester United to prepare for the summer and he will be able to have a new home before he reports for duty.

Chen Manhong asked Tang Hong whether he was renting or buying.

Tang Hong said as a matter of course: "Buy." ”

"What's the budget?"

"As long as the house is good and the money doesn't matter, I'm now a person who can make millions of pounds a year."

Chen Manhong only felt speechless......

However, she really calculated an account, although Tang Hong's salary for one year in Braga is not high, but a series of terms signed by Mendes when he signed the contract with Braga for Mendes when he helped him sign the contract with Braga, really made Tang Hong earn 1.12 million euros in one season in Braga!

This money happened to make up for Tang Hong's purchase of a villa in Braga and various expenses in the past year.

is really self-sufficient and still has a surplus, so the villa in the middle of the mountain has become his real estate.
