Generally speaking, the club's jersey sales are most closely related to last season's results.

In last year's statistics on the sales of jerseys for the previous year, Barcelona topped the list with 3.63 million sales. In this year's statistics of last year's jersey sales data, they fell from 3.63 million to 1.98 million.

It's almost half down.

The change in sales data reflects the change in the team's results.

Last season, Barcelona won six titles, including the Champions League, and the shirt sales were naturally gratifying.

Last year, they only won the Copa del Rey, and the sales of jerseys naturally declined.

In 16 years, the team with the best result was undoubtedly Real Madrid, who won the double.

As a result, their jersey sales figures have also risen from fifth place in 15 years to second place.

But.

Manchester United were a bit of a surprise.

In the last three years, Manchester United has not done well, and last season they fell out of the top five in the league and did not even qualify for the Champions League.

In terms of the number of jerseys sold in the whole of last year, Manchester United, who did not have a championship, topped the list.

The successive sluggish results do not seem to have affected Manchester United's commercial development.

In 15 years, they ranked 4th in Europe in terms of jersey sales.

Taller than Real Madrid.

In 16 years, after bidding farewell to the Champions League, Manchester United's jersey sales data did not fall but rose, with an annual sales volume of 3.71 million more than the second-place Real Madrid by 1.31 million.

In terms of commercial development, Manchester United is indeed unique.

Their CEO, Ed Woodward, contributed a lot to this.

Although the executive with a lower hairline has been repeatedly complained by Manchester United fans that he does not understand the ball, his business acumen is indeed far ahead of his peers in the big clubs. Under his leadership, Manchester United's brand value has been well inherited and carried forward.

Not only is the jersey sales gratifying, but in the global football club revenue list announced by Deloitte not long ago, Manchester United has also surpassed Real Madrid and become the most profitable club in the world.

Many Chinese media believe that this is the credit of Chu Ge.

But Chu Ge himself is very sober.

Admittedly, his arrival is meant to bring more market appeal to Manchester United, especially in East Asia.

Chu Ge's jersey sales data also confirms that the club has benefited a lot from Chu Ge.

Chu Ge's continued outstanding performance has not only made Manchester United's club better and better, but also gained more help for Manchester United's market development.

However, the success of a club is the result of a combination of factors.

There are Chu Ge, Woodward's efforts, but also Martial's, Pogba, Ibrahimovic, Ferguson, Giggs, Finn and other Manchester United efforts, as well as the silent support of thousands of Manchester United fans.

All of this adds up to what Manchester United is today.

Even if the tide is low.

He is also the king.

……

January 22nd.

Stadium Gitsal.

Chu Ge easily got rid of Pogba and fired a low shot that slipped between Rufeel's legs and slammed into the net behind the goalkeeper.

1：0。

Manchester United take the lead on the road.

Six days ago, the two teams played the first leg of the Europa League.

That game was also Chugo's opener, and with a brace from Ibrahimovic, United won 3-0 at home to Saint-Etienne.

Now the second leg of the match between the two teams.

The game lasted only fifteen minutes, and Chu Ge's goal made the Saint-Etiennes completely desperate.

With an aggregate score of 4-0 and an away goal, Saint-Etienne will need to score six goals in the remaining game time if they want to turn United around.

It's an impossible task.

Unless Manchester United's goalkeeper is replaced by Wang Duoyu.

Florentine Pogba looked at Chu Ge, who was celebrating his goal, and his eyes were full of envy.

"My brother is right, this player is a monster, and he can't be guarded against it at all."

He shook his head.

In both rounds, neither he nor his Saint-Etienne were able to contain Chu Ge's play.

Seeing this talented player, Florentine Pogba can't help but think of the talented French star Kylian Mbappe, who became a sensation at Monaco this season.

Many French media outlets refer to Mbappe as the second Henry.

Because the technical and tactical characteristics of the two are similar, and they also became famous at a young age in Monaco.

And more media regarded him as the French version of Chu Ge.

After today's game, Florentine Pogba is convinced, and it is no wonder that the media will compare Mbappe to Chu Ge.

The two of them do have a lot of similarities.

"Comparatively speaking, Chu's skills are better, and he is more confident, and his personal ability is much stronger. Mbappe is worthy of being one size bigger. Florentine Pogba was filled with emotion.

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves,

The front wave dies on the beach.

Florentine Pogba, who was born in '90, is only 26 years old this year, and he is in his prime. And seeing that Mbappe in 98, especially Chu Ge in 98, has been calling for wind and rain in world football, he can't help but feel that he is old.

The afterlife is terrifying!

……

After Chu Ge's goal, there was not much suspense in the game.

In the 10th minute of the second half, Ibrahimovic scored again.

Manchester United qualified early.

And Chu Ge was replaced by Lingard at half-time.

Four days after this game, Manchester United will face their Carabao Cup final.

Since there is no suspense in this game, Ferguson naturally hopes to save more of Chu Ge's physical energy and allow him to play more in the upcoming League Cup final.

Chu Ge understood the coach's decision.

He sat on the bench and watched the whole game quietly.

In the end, Manchester United won two goals away at Saint-Etienne.

The aggregate score of the two legs was 6:0.

Manchester United beat their opponents and reached the last 16 of the Europa League.

The situation of the Europa League quarter-finals will still be decided by draw.

Chu Ge does not yet know who their opponents will be in the Europa League.

At the end of the match, Chu Ge took to the pitch and exchanged jerseys with Florentin Pogba.

That's what he promised Paul Pogba before the game.

"Your brother made me beat you in the game." When exchanging jerseys, Chu Ge did not forget to throw the pot to Paul.

Florentine laughed, "You're excellent, much better than I thought." Especially better than my brother. ”

He didn't forget to hurt his brother.

……

Soon.

Chu Ge and his teammates embarked on the return flight.

They will return to Manchester and then go home to rest.

On the Air France plane, Chu Ge saw such a news.

From the Milan Sport newspaper.

The headline is "France's Chu Amazing Goal, Monaco Loses 3:5 to Manchester City".

Chu Ge opened it and took a look.

It turned out to be a Champions League match that had just ended.
