342 I don't understand
Manchester.
Since Alex Ferguson's retirement, United fans have been plunged into a gloom after celebrating the club's unprecedented quadruple victory.
At the moment when it was officially announced that Moyes would succeed Ferguson, Mo said that Fleet Street did not stop questioning Moyes, and even Manchester United fans wondered: what can he do?
What's even more fatal is that Manchester United has been slow to announce the renewal of the contract of the team's top scorer Tang Hong, the Chinese striker who played the legendary No. 7 stats last season left 36 league goals, 17 Champions League goals, 7 domestic cup goals, a total of 60 goals shocking statistics!
Many celebrities have predicted that Tang Hong will be the banner of Old Trafford in the next ten years!
But on the eve of the start of the new season, Manchester United officially announced that Tang Hong would transfer and leave the team!
Fleet Street also revealed that whether it was Woodward's communication with Mendes in the management, or Moyes's telephone communication with Tang Hong, Tang Hong was not left in the end!
The outside world is speculating that Tang Hong is trying to ask for a sky-high contract with the opportunity of a contract year, or that he wants to go to a bigger club of his dreams.
But when Manchester United made the official announcement, the outside world was puzzled by Tang Hong's choice, at least it was definitely not based on the club's fame, heritage, and money factors to make the decision to leave the team!
......
Pep Guardiola has been following Tang Hong's situation all day since he took over Bayern Munich, and Bayern Munich's two most important summer signings have been completed.
GΓΆtze was poached from Borussia Dortmund at a cost of 37 million euros.
Brought his former disciple Thiago from Barcelona at a cost of 25 million euros.
Pep Guardiola is also looking forward to completing the last piece of the puzzle on the front line, that super killer, who is already qualified to compete with Messi and Ronaldo for the world's No. 1 Tang Hong!
But when Manchester United agreed to the offers of major clubs for Tang Hong, the negotiations between Bayern Munich and Mendes ended before they began.
Mendes ended the conversation without even listening to Bayern Munich's offer of Tang Hong's contract.
Guardiola has not yet figured out what happened in the negotiations, and the news of Manchester United's official announcement quickly caused a sensation in the German media!
On July 3, Tang Hong arrived in Germany with Sun Rou and Qin Rui, and when he parted from Qin Rui in Berlin, the capital of Germany, the German media had already discovered Tang Hong's traces.
But Tang Hong flew from Berlin to western Germany.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Tang Hong, dressed in casual clothes, accompanied by Mendes, came to the Dortmund club.
Dortmund CEO Watzke with a lot of staff is looking forward to it, the team has begun pre-season preparations, but Dortmund coach Klopp also put down training and took time to come to the club's press room to witness Tang Hong's joining.
Representatives of the German media, led by "Kicker" and "Bild", were present one after another.
It was with an incredulous mindset that everyone was witnessing the imminent completion of the transfer.
Tang Hong didn't even go for a medical examination before coming to the press room.
When he saw Klopp, the other party smiled and took the initiative to come up and stretch out his hand to him, Tang Hong shook hands with the other party and first greeted him in German, Klopp asked with some surprise: "Do you know German?" β
Tang Hong replied: "I'm studying, and I can only say a few simple words. β
Jurgen Klopp patted him on the shoulder and applauded: "It's a good start. β
When Tang Hong walked into the press room, Watzke was already on the stage with a smile and introduced this heavyweight transfer to everyone.
Borussia Dortmund brought in Mkhitaryan last month and spent β¬27.5 million to set a new all-time signing, but just a month later they spent β¬30.5 million to break the record again.
Although it seems that Tang Hong and Mkhitaryan are about the same transfer value, Dortmund directly gave Tang Hong the highest salary in the team, with an annual salary of 6 million euros, and directly paid him a signing fee of 12 million euros!
The salary is quite reasonable, and the signing fee is equivalent to the transfer fee they saved and converted into a salary and gave Tang Hong a lump sum.
After all, if he renews his contract at Manchester United, it will not be a problem to exceed 10 million euros a year.
Watzke is proud to announce the addition of Dortmund's new signing Tang Hong!
The staff gave Klopp a jersey, Tang Hong and Klopp walked into the press room together and came to the stage, Klopp handed a No. 7 jersey to Tang Hong, and Tang Hong put the jersey directly on his body with a smile.
Dortmund vacated the No.10 shirt after Gotze left, but it has already been given to new signing Mkhitaryan.
Before the No. 7 shirt was in the hands of Leitner, the latter has been loaned out, so the No. 7 shirt is also vacant, before joining Dortmund also specifically asked Tang Hong if he has a favorite number, they can negotiate for other players to give up the number.
Tang Hong is not a jersey number holder, so there is no special request.
Coming to Dortmund to continue wearing the number 7 shirt is nothing to worry about.
If you perform well, the jersey number will be meaningful, and if you don't perform well, wearing a jersey with a special number is also a puddle of mud, which will only bring pressure on yourself public opinion.
In an interview with the German media on stage, Tang Hong could only say hello in German, and then answered some questions in English.
As for why he chose to join Borussia Dortmund, he will of course praise Dortmund as a great club that will make him passionate to play here, while also complimenting manager Jurgen Klopp.
Of course he couldn't say what was in his heart.
If I don't come to Dortmund, how can I do Bayern Munich?
If Dortmund hadn't won the title last season, he probably wouldn't have joined Dortmund.
Since the summer preparations have begun, Tang Hong's joining is relatively sudden, almost the agreement finalized the day before yesterday, and he arrived in Germany today.
Therefore, the debut ceremony at West** Stadium can be exempted, Tang Hong doesn't like this kind of momentum, and strives to keep up with the team's rhythm to prepare for the game when he settles down in Germany, and strive to show the best state at the beginning of the new season!
Tang Hong's ability to join the German team made the German media very excited, and Tang Hong's joining Dortmund, not Bayern Munich, made them even more excited!
Because it means that the competition for the Bundesliga title will be fiercer than ever!
After the press conference, Tang Hong left the club accompanied by Mendes, who drove him to the southern Boumbusch district of Dortmund, which has been Dortmund's wealthy area since the beginning of the First World War.
Chen Manhong helped Tang Hong buy a three-story mansion here, and simply renovated it at a cost of two million euros.
Probably summing up the disadvantages of living in Manchester last year with too much emptiness, when I came to Germany to buy a property, I finally chose a single-family house.
Coming to the villa, Tang Hong saw Chen Manhong with a smile on his face, Sun Rou came here first and was already cleaning up the room for Tang Hong, Tang Hong looked at the home full of modern facilities, neat and spotless, and it made people feel very comfortable when they looked at it.
There are a total of 6 bedrooms, a study room, and a gym on the upper two floors.
The only drawback is that the pool is outdoor, and in winter, unless you challenge your physical fitness and not be afraid of catching a cold, then the pool is basically unusable in winter.
On the whole, Tang Hong is very satisfied, he can cook at home, but there are no ingredients.
Tang Hong suggested that everyone go out to eat, and Mendez stayed for dinner.
Coming to a high-end restaurant in downtown Dortmund, Tang Hong and Mendes briefly chatted about the transfer.
Mendes did not approve of Tang Hong's transfer to Dortmund, because it obviously could not maximize Tang Hong's interests, but Tang Hong thought that Dortmund had given enough sincerity.
The team's maximum salary, with an additional signing fee of 12 million euros, if he wants to pursue the highest monetary benefits, then the priority must be Paris Saint-Germain, which can directly give him a signing fee of 25 million euros!
Mendes said with some emotion: "I always dreamed that you could win the Ballon d'Or, but when you chose Dortmund, I first thought it was over, and then I thought that maybe this is the best choice.
Because among other big clubs, you can't compare to the stars who have been amassing for five or even ten years.
For Barcelona to achieve anything, Messi is certainly the number one contributor.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, is Cristiano Ronaldo.
Bayern Munich is somewhat inseparable from Robben and Ribery.
So in Dortmund, you can become a unique superstar here. β
Tang Hong smiled silently, for what the future will be like, he needs to work hard, not imagine it out of thin air.
He hadn't thought about winning the Ballon d'Or before, but after the success of Braga and Manchester United, he was excited about it.
And he finds himself more and more unwilling to be a green leaf for others.
Incompetence naturally does not breed mismatched ambitions.
But when he is able, he will strive to hit what seemed unattainable in the past.
After dinner, Mendes flew out of Germany, and Tang Hong and the two girls returned to their new home.
Even though he still needed to adjust to the time difference, Tang Hong still reported to the Stobelari training center in Dortmund the next morning.
When he drove here and was guided by staff to the dressing room used by the first team training, he found some of his team-mates already sitting in the dressing room and chatting.
When they saw Tang Hong coming, everyone smiled and waved to him.
They had only met three months earlier, and it was not that they did not know each other.
Tang Hong also raised his hand and greeted them in German.
When he walked to the closet with his name on it to change clothes, Royce came to his side, first smiled and reached out to shake Tang Hong's hand, and then said something to Tang Hong.
'It's great to have you join Borussia Dortmund, you caused us a lot of pain last season, you don't know how many times we talked about you in the dressing room, you were a big problem on the pitch.
But you did deserve to win and luckily we're team-mates now, which is a bit exciting and we've been able to make some noise this season. β
Tang Hong was smiling on his face, but finally said something that made the other teammates around him laugh.
"Sorry, I didn't understand what you said, my German level is just kindergarten level."
