Ferguson grabbed the phone in his living room and called the Manchester Evening News.

Then he briefly said his purpose, and he understood what was going on, and he had to help with this favor.

The next day, the Manchester Evening News ran an article on the front page of sports - Ferguson plans to buy Bayer Leverkusen player Zheng Zhi during the European winter break.

- Ferguson said that he is full of interest in the Chinese at Bayer Leverkusen, and believes that the arrival of the Chinese will greatly enhance the strength of Manchester United, whether it is in Scholes's position or Keane's position, the Chinese can fill their position excellently. Ferguson believes Zheng Zhi is a versatile midfielder who can play in any position and is willing to shell out £25 million to buy him. He has already applied to the board of directors to make an offer to Bayer Leverkusen as soon as the transfer market opens, and he can't wait to call the chairman of Bayer Leverkusen!

- Ferguson himself admitted that if Zheng Zhi can join Manchester United, then with Keane, Scholes and Zheng Zhi in the three midfielders, Manchester United can have no worries in the case of multi-front operations.

It was early in the morning, and the whole of Manchester shook. Manchester United fans now have a better understanding of Zheng Zhi, and this European star is definitely worth having.

"Walter?"

"Are you sure it's not newspaper scribble? Did Ferguson really say that he was going to buy a Chinese Zheng? ”

"Ah, that's perfect, if this guy comes to Manchester United, Manchester United will be even stronger, this guy can fit seamlessly into the team. His strength is unquestionable, almost no need to be examined, and he comes with his own manual. ”

Manchester United fans are very excited, and they raise their hands in favor of Zheng Zhi's joining.

But it's not quite right.

Didn't Zheng Zhi just join Bayer Leverkusen? How is it possible to come to Manchester United on New Year's Day? Didn't that guy say he wouldn't leave without helping Bayer Leverkusen win the title?

Besides, did Ferguson really say those things?

Fans have doubts, and many media outlets have doubts. Then the story developed further.

Ferguson responded positively to all of this at his Premier League press conference on Sunday afternoon.

"Yes,"

"I do have a strong interest in Zheng Zhi, and I am indeed ready to apply to the board of directors to buy Zheng Zhi. I know it's going to be difficult, but I have to give it a try, and I'm hungry for Zheng Zhi to play for Manchester United at Old Trafford. ”

Boom –

The journalists blew up.

It's true, Ferguson really wants to buy Zheng Zhi.

"Alex, are you sure it's not a smoke grenade?"

"Of course not, I'll call Kalmond on Monday and I'm going to ask him if he can let him go, 25 million pounds is not enough, we'll give them 30 million pounds, 30 million pounds is good enough."

£30 million!

What an exaggeration!

£30 million can buy a championship-level player, which is truly world-class.

Although Zheng Zhi has also shown talent in this area now, he has not led the team to win the championship, and the price is a bit outrageous, although there are always many media reports that a certain outstanding player was smashed by a certain club for tens of millions, but these are just media reports, and the club has not responded positively, but now Ferguson has confirmed it himself.

'If it weren't for the fact that it's Sunday, I'd have called Calmond and I'd have called him tomorrow and it just so happens that our two clubs play on Wednesday and I'll have a good conversation with them.'

……

……

The news spread throughout England, then across the oceans, to Germany, and then to the East.

The Internet era has begun, and such news was quickly reprinted on the Internet, and in the middle of the night, Manchester United fans in China were like chicken shots.

"Holy!"

"Ferguson personally said that he wanted to buy Zheng Zhi!"

"Awesome, awesome!"

'Is he really going to Manchester United? This is the first time that it has been confirmed from the mouth of the head coach of a wealthy club that he really wants to buy Zheng Zhi. ”

"Tsk, if Zheng Zhi joins Manchester United, won't Manchester United fly? Ahhh It's a big deal to eat steamed buns for a month. ”

"But,"

"If Zheng Zhi goes to Manchester United, what jersey will he wear?"

"No. 7 must be Becky's, No. 11 must be Giggs's, No. 18 must be Scholes, No. 16 is Captain Keane's, so what about No. 10, Sheringham let No. 10 out, anyway, he is also a substitute, wearing No. 10 is too wasteful, and it is not a matter for strikers to wear No. 10, Zheng Zhicai deserves to wear No. 10."

Even the jersey number was arranged for Zheng Zhi.

"Really? Can it be done? Didn't Zheng Zhi say that he would not leave until he led Leverkusen to the championship? I feel that it is Ferguson's wishful thinking, Zheng Zhi's attitude is the most important, didn't the Italian media ask him the day before yesterday, choose one between Inter, Juventus and Milan? Zheng Zhi didn't choose any of them. ”

"Wait, wait until tomorrow if something really happens?"

……

……

Leverkusen, Germany.

"Bastard,"

"Shameless Ferguson, he really hit Zheng Zhi with his idea,"

"He thinks it's beautiful, he really thinks he can poach Zheng Zhi? Zheng Zhidu has already stated that he will not consider any other team, he is considering, at least until the end of the season. ”

Although Bayer Leverkusen fans were surprised, they were more inclined to trust what Zheng Zhi said.

"But what if Zheng Zhi is really moved? Manchester United are Champions League winners. Manchester United are now one of the best teams in Europe, a real giant, will he not be impressed? ”

The fans were skeptical again.

Wait, let's see if that old man from Ferguson will call Carlmond tomorrow.

At this time, Carlmond and Worrall were in their office discussing when to leave for Manchester, and they also saw the news.

The first reaction of the two people was, what kind of plane is Ferguson doing? The two men looked at each other.

"What do you think?"

Carlmond asked.

Worrall was silent for a few seconds and shook his head, "I don't know. ”

"Maybe it's a smoke bomb, just to disturb the morale of the military? Just want to shake Zheng Zhi's mentality before the game, so that he can't play? Isn't Bayern Munich doing this kind of thing all the time? Carlmond guessed.

"Ferguson is cunning, he doesn't do this kind of thing in England."

Worrall took over, "It's okay if it's fake, this smoke bomb actually has no effect, I'm afraid it's real...... Didn't I be at the draw before? He chatted with me about Zheng Zhi for a few words, and I felt that he had some ill intentions at that time. ”

Thinking back to that conversation, Worrall finally smelled a hint of ominousness......

"This ......," Carlmond was speechless, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I'm curious if he'll call me tomorrow?" ”

"If so, then what's the point."

※※※※

※※※※

At the end of the training, Barak and Zheng Zhi's cars drove out of the door one after another, but Zheng Zhi's car behind them was blocked.

A large group of German sports journalists surrounded them.

"Zheng,"

"See the news? Ferguson wants to buy you,"

"What do you think about that?"

Zheng Zhi knew the news at noon, but it didn't cause much trouble at the time.

The smell of wine, no matter how deep the alley is, it will be smelled, is it strange that Ferguson is interesting to himself?

But to say that Ferguson brought him in for the New Year, he doesn't believe it. He thinks that Ferguson is putting smoke bombs, it is impossible to introduce him at this time, and 30 million pounds is too exaggerated, when Veron joined Manchester United in the summer of 2001, he was only worth 30 million pounds, and after winning the Serie A championship, he has not won any honor now, Ferguson is willing to pay so much silver?

"I don't have a big opinion, I just want to go home and have a good meal, take a shower, and get some rest, if you want any news, I don't have much to say. Sorry, please let me. ”

Zheng Zhi stepped on the accelerator, the roaring engine roared, and the reporters had to get out of the way.

When I returned home, it happened that Wu Di was also there, and the two of them dined together, and then they also talked about it.

Wu Di was also full of interest, but he wanted to know what Zheng Zhi was thinking.

"Cousin,"

"If it's true, will you go?"

"I want to hear the truest answer from your heart."

Wu Di is not an outsider, he is the closest person outside of his parents, so Zheng Zhi will definitely have no reservations.

After stuffing a large piece of beef into his mouth and chewing two bites, Zheng Zhi said, "What I said before is true. ”

'You think, at Manchester United and at Bayer Leverkusen, you face the same honours, Manchester United have a good chance of winning the Premier League in the Premier League, Bayer Leverkusen also have a hope of winning the Bundesliga title in Germany, and we don't have that much competitive pressure.

"But Manchester United have more hope in the Champions League." Wu Di said.

"Hey, hey,"

"The Champions League is so easy to get, Manchester United is very strong, but it is too difficult to defend the champion, in fact, the probability of winning the Champions League is about the same as that of Bayer Leverkusen, I can't bet on it." Zheng Zhi is very rational, not to mention that he knows that this year's Champions League is not Manchester United at all, but Real Madrid, the most important thing is, "Even if I go to Manchester United, I won't be able to win a medal next summer, and I am a Premier League champion if I die, and I am not qualified to represent Manchester United in the Champions League." ”

"Another point, after I went to Manchester United, I was definitely not the core, but I was at Bayer Leverkusen, I was definitely the core, which is completely different, the treatment is too bad."

"I always felt something was wrong?" Wu Di put down the knife and fork, touched his slippery head, and suddenly patted his head.

"Ouch, little brother, you've said so much, but you still haven't made it clear whether you want to go to Manchester United or not, you're just comparing whether it's better at Manchester United or Bayer Leverkusen, right, you actually yearn for Manchester United in your heart?"

"Hehe," Zheng Zhiwan smiled, "I haven't denied it, who doesn't like to go to the top giants?" ”

！

"Oh!"

"So there's a good chance you'll say yes?" Wu Di's eyes lit up, and it looked like he was going to start preparing for negotiations with Manchester United, Zheng Zhi would still be conquered after all.

"No, I don't say yes." Zheng Zhi immediately interrupted his fantasies, "This is not the best time. ”

"Once I get the Bundesliga title, I'll think about going to other leagues, and I'll definitely go to other leagues."

Zheng Zhi told Wu Di his thoughts without reservation.

"Conquer the Bundesliga first, then go."

"yes, I understand." Wu Di gave him a thumbs up, "But what if you can't get it?" You know, Bayern Munich is too strong, they are the Bundesliga hegemon, the status is too difficult to shake, I think this season is your best chance, wait until next summer, Bayern Munich will see you so strong, they will definitely dig the wall, absolutely will dig! ”

"When the time comes, your strength will decline again, and they will rise instead of falling. It's bad luck, when the time comes, Ballack, Emerson, Ze Roberto, these players will be poached, even if you choose to stay, it doesn't make sense. And it's not just Bayern Munich digging into the wall, Italy is also eyeing it, Serie A is so strong, they won't let go of these players, the salary of the Bundesliga is not as good as Serie A, and the players will not stay in Germany for too long. ”

Zheng Zhi's face was pale, and he was finally moved, he hadn't thought about it.

"You're right, next summer will indeed be very passive, the probability of this kind of thing happening is too great! It's really been our best season to win the title and we have to take our chances and there must be no surprises. ”

"That means Manchester United don't think about it? What if Ferguson calls tomorrow? ”

"Not considered."

Zheng Zhi answered categorically.

On Monday morning, Kalmond walked slowly to his office, his heart pounding, and he always felt that something bad was happening.

He came to work quite punctually, not a minute early, not a minute late. The moment he pushed open the office door.

呤呤呤,

呤呤呤,

The phone on the desk did ring.

Yes!

Damn it

Is?

He strode over and grabbed the phone.

Sure enough, it was the damn Ferguson.

"Alex,"

"Why did you call me?"

Calmond asked, pretending to be nonchalant.

"Hey, fatty,"

"You want to make a deal with you, I want to buy Zheng Zhi."

Ferguson gets straight to the point.

"Ah, Alex, don't be kidding, how can we possibly sell Zheng? It's impossible. ”

"30 million pounds, we don't play false, this price is very high, aren't you impressed?"

"I'm not impressed, this price is high, but I'm really not impressed." Kalmond had a big belly and grimaced.

If it was before, he agreed without saying a word, because the club is poor, but now 30 million pounds? I'm sorry, but the commercial value brought by Zheng Zhi is very rich, but it's really not much.

"Fatty, don't be hard-mouthed, talk seriously."

The relationship between the two seems to be really good, and Ferguson has always called Calmund fat.

"I'm really serious and really don't sell. You know, if we lose Zheng, we won't be able to compete with Bayern, we have to win the league and we have to play in the Champions Cup. At least this season will not be considered. ”

Carlmond doesn't need to insist, this is his true idea, Bayer Leverkusen needs results, if you want results, you have to put Zheng Zhi in the first place, you can move anyone, it is impossible to move Zheng Zhi.

On the other end, Ferguson also fell into deep thought a little, and said in his heart: Okay, fat man, so resolute?

"£35 million!"

"No," Kalmond's fat shook and was startled, he didn't expect Ferguson to raise his value by 5 million pounds all of a sudden, which was too scary, but he still pretended to refuse calmly.

"£40 million!" The other end is still very crisp.

"Fack!" Carlmond finally couldn't help but scold, "You old rascal, stop joking with me, do you dare to really smash out 40 million pounds?" In the morning, can you not play with me? ”

"Don't sell, don't sell, don't sell!"

Carlmond shook his head continuously.

"Well, £40 million has done my goodest, and I do see your determination."

"So, how about a £20 million bid for Michael Ballack?"

！！！

Carlmond is going crazy.

Zheng Zhi's idea can't be beaten, and Barak's idea is played again? You goddamn old rascal!

"No way!"

"£23 million."

"No way!"

"No way!"

"No way!"

"£26 million."

This......

Carlmond was silent, Barak is not Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi will not sell, but it does not mean that Barak cannot be sold, the account is different. Zheng Zhi is the core, Barak is not the core, although it is also important, but it is possible to lose Barak, right?

Karlmond's head turned fast, and Barak, who was bought for 15 million marks, has now changed hands and tripled.

It's definitely worth it!

But Kalmond still said, "Add another 4 million." ”

"Ha, fatty, you're so greedy."

"The person I want is Zheng, not Barak, either 40 million for Zheng or 20 million for Barack, you choose."

"I, I'll pick a fart!"

In a fit of rage, Carlmond hung up the phone, feeling like he had been tricked by Ferguson.

After the big ass sat down on the couch, he thought again.

Does this guy have the sincerity to buy Zheng Zhi and Barak? After tossing for so long, he didn't understand what Ferguson really meant.

Anyway, at least judging by the quote, he was really scared to pee.

It's a pity, but Barak can still talk about it.

And as soon as Ferguson hung up the phone, he showed up at the door of the Carrington base, knowing that there would be countless reporters waiting for him.

He touched his flushed nose, and then said with a little regret:

"I know what you want to know,"

"But I was rejected, Carlmond rejected my £40 million offer and also my £30 million offer for Ballack."

"Alas......"
