Chapter 698: If I Lose, I'll Come to Manchester United
Ferguson's anger had dissipated a lot by this time, and he was replaced by worry.
Times have changed, and today's players are becoming more and more difficult to manage, and they are less and less willing to eat his set. Per Mertesacker is a very deferential player on weekdays, courteous and easy on the pitch. But such a person who respects himself with great respect is terrifyingly stubborn once he breaks out, leaving no room for maneuver.
In the past month or so, Grandpa Fu has talked to Grandpa Mo several times, but Grandpa has always had the same attitude: never apologize; With him without me!
Grandpa Mo's attitude made Lord Fu very annoyed, because only when he hit someone first made an apology gesture could the two reconcile and continue to coexist. Otherwise, if you force them to work together, sooner or later they will have trouble due to the accumulation of resentment, and it will seriously threaten the unity of the locker room.
Moreover, Grandpa Mo's decisive interruption of the contract renewal negotiation also made the lord want to flip the table, which clearly gave him an ultimatum. Mertesacker's contract expires in the summer of 2010 and according to the rules, he can move freely this summer after buying out his contract for a lower price. If he didn't agree to his 'ultimatum', he could have walked away.
It's not that the lord can't stop it, he can force Mertesacker to stay with some means. In order to maintain his coaching dignity, the lord even did not hesitate to completely ban him until the expiration of his contract. After more than a year of abandonment, he will pay a heavy price for his stubbornness. But why bother?
The modest and respectful Mertesacker is still like this, how should Zhuo Yang, a wild horse that is even more difficult to tame, discipline? Lord Fu couldn't help but curse this damn change of times.
The old man poured himself another glass of fine red wine, and he tried to keep his expression angry.
"Zhuo Yang, I can give up Anderson and sell him when he recovers. It doesn't matter if you lose a point. The lord said, "But I have the conditions, otherwise I can only keep him." β
"Sir, please speak, boy, listen to me."
"Cristiano...... I can't keep it, I won't hide it from you, I can't keep him this summer. Alasβ" Ferguson let out a long sigh. "But I'm not going to be cheap Madrid...... Maybe Barcelona. That would leave me with a lot of transfer money and the United board of directors had promised to put a considerable amount at my disposal. β
"Zhuo Yang, come to Manchester, Mertesacker stays, and then you two go and convince Frank Ribery that you three brothers are together at Manchester United. Well, my suggestion is good, right? β
Zhuo Yang couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the old man when he heard this: Wonderful!
It's a good calculation, if Zhuo Yang comes to Anderson, he will become a superfluous person, and Ronaldo's scar can perfectly replace his power on the wing. Lord Fu killed three birds with one stone, and after some foreshadowing, he took out his abacus.
However, there are two key issues here. Scar may not mind coming to Manchester United, as long as the price is right, but Zhuo Yang doesn't want to come to Manchester right now, and there is no reason for him to come here for the time being. There is another point, Grandpa Mo himself wants to leave.
Grandpa gave Zhuo Yang the bottom: "I want to leave, I've been here for five years, and it's almost over." My husband has already called me and if I can, I'll leave Manchester United this summer. "So the interruption of contract renewal negotiations is not just because of a fight, Grandpa Mo is taking advantage of the situation.
"Thank you, sir!" Zhuo Yang no longer knows how many times Ferguson has tried to recruit him. 'But it's two different things, I don't want to talk about a transfer right now and I don't have a reason to leave Milan.'
"You ask Milan for a new contract of 200,000 euros a week, I know, come to Manchester and I'll give you 200,000 pounds." Β£200,000 is almost the equivalent of β¬230,000, and Ferguson is generous.
"Thank you, sir, let's talk about it in the summer."
"You're a slippery boy, Niang Xipi. I don't know why you don't want to come to Manchester, but you're trying to tell me, and I know it. "Ferguson is going to be ruthless." If you don't want to come, forget it, this lord doesn't force it. But there was nothing I could do about Mertesacker, and for the sake of the team's discipline, I had to ban him until the end of his contract, which was not long, less than a year and a half. β
"Why bother, sir? Killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred is not your old man's style at all. "Zhuo Yang doesn't eat him.
"Eight hundred self-inflicted damage? I don't see what's to lose? What about the transfer fee? Hehe...... Or is it Mertesacker's strength? You can see Jonathan Evans' performance, he's very similar to Mertesacker's style, and Evans is younger, he's still our own academy player. β
"Yes, sir, you're right, Evans is a good seedling, and he can indeed replace Mertesacker. But aren't you afraid of losing your friendship in Madiburg? β
"You ......" Sure enough, Zhuo Yang's words hit Ferguson's soft underbelly.
Madisburg is now a group of young demons Which European giants are not popular, Manchester United dares to completely ban Mertesacker, not only will it sass those big-name agents, but also want to buy half a leg from Madiburg from now on. Zhuo Yang knows that Ferguson has his eye on Paul Pogba, the captain of Madiburg's Under-16s, and is constantly negotiating contacts. And Pogba's agent is also Milo Raiola, can the fat man watch you Ferguson ban Grandpa Mo?
Ferguson suddenly had a very strong sense of frustration, he became more and more incomprehensible to the current young people, he couldn't bluff or coax one by one, he couldn't get oil and salt, and he was all clever, and he was better than a monkey without touching his hair.
"That's it, Zhuo Yang. How about I make a bet with you? β
"What bet? Let's hear it. β
"Let's bet on the results of the Champions Cup quarter-finals and we'll see you in Milan next week." The old gentleman was quite helpless. 'If Manchester United qualify, you'll have to come to Manchester in the summer, and the Β£200,000 condition will not change. If Milan had won, I hadn't said that. However, as long as you take this gamble, whether you win or lose, I promise you that you will not blame Mertesacker for the past and will not ban him again, and you will not have any more revenge against Anderson, and this is the end of the matter. β
Zhuo Yang rubbed his nose, he really wanted to snatch the lord's cup and take a big sip. After pondering for a moment, Zhuo Yang nodded: "I'll take it!" β
"Win or lose, Grandpa Mo has to be back in the first team. Win or lose, my brothers and I don't have to trouble Anderson anymore. However, this does not include Scar Ribery, who is the client, and I can't be his master, but I can help persuade him. Manchester United promoted, I came to Manchester United in the summer, Milan promoted, the transfer matter is fate. β
"It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
'Smack! Syllable! Syllable! 'Three high-fives, the bet is made.
Ferguson's bet is actually fair, United and Milan are evenly matched, with United holding the winning start, but Milan have two away goals and home advantage and the prospects are still open.
Ferguson is very confident, and Zhuo Yang is also full of confidence, although the two are far apart in age, they are both people who speak their word. At the moment of accepting the bet, Zhuo Yang had already decided that if Milan lost the quarterfinals, he would come to Manchester United. Not only is it a gamble, but also to repay Lord Ferguson's favor and respect for six years.
"Sir, in fact, red wine doesn't mean much, I drink this all day long, vulgar! I'll give you some high-quality Chinese liquor, which is very helpful for the elderly to maintain their health. Before leaving, Zhuo Yang did not forget to take revenge on Ferguson for his stinginess today.
"Get out!"
