It was a sunny day.

Golden sunlight fills Carrington's training grounds.

Sky.

Grass green.

Chu Ge saw a naïve young man standing at the entrance of the training ground, smiling at his aunt who showed a face.

In him, Chu Ge seemed to see his sixteen-year-old self.

That day two years ago was just like this moment.

The sun is shining.

The young Chu Ge was drafted by Carlo Ancelotti.

For the first time, he stood at the training base of the first team of Real Madrid Sports City, looking at his idol Cristiano.

At that time, Chu Ge's eyes must have been very similar to today's Hanhan.

Chu Ge smiled kindly.

He beckoned to the boy, "You're Kylian Mbappé." ”

A signature smile of surprise appeared on the boy's face.

"Yes, you've heard my name?" He looked very happy and walked over to Chu Ge.

Chu Ge laughed and said, "Brother, your acting in this scene is a bit fake, haha!" ”

Although Chu Ge met Mbappe for the first time and met him at Carrington for the first time, the two had already been in contact by phone before.

Especially after confirming his joining, Chu Ge took the initiative to add Mbappe as a friend.

"Am I not happy?"

The smiling boy showed a real smile. He also knew that he had just performed a little exaggeratedly.

Chu Ge laughed and patted Mbappe's shoulder.

This time back in China, Pei Xiaowei invented a new monetary unit: Chu coin.

One Chu coin is equal to three petroleum coins, which is equal to ten ringgits, which is equal to 1.5 billion.

The price of Chu Ge's transfer to Manchester United, as well as Nike's latest sponsorship contract for him, are almost one Chu coin.

This is the origin of Chu coins.

Manchester City bought Kyle Walker, Edouard Mendy and B. Silva for almost one petty dollar, and the total price was about one cent.

And this is not much different from the transfer value of Mbappe alone.

Yes.

The Reds spent €150 million to facilitate Mbappe's move to Manchester United, similar to when Chu Ge moved from Real Madrid last year.

This is a very exaggerated price.

Just last year, in the transfer market at the time, no one could have imagined that in this year, the world record for player transfers that had lasted for almost a decade would be broken.

In 2009, Cristiano Ronaldo transferred from Manchester United to Real Madrid for a transfer fee of 94 million euros. In the following seven years, apart from Bale, Ronaldo's 94 million transfer value has never been approached by other players, let alone broken.

94 million, once became the ceiling of player transfer transactions.

This is also the reason why Real Madrid has never worried that Chu Ge will be poached.

The liquidated damages they set for Chu Ge are as high as 150 million euros.

Real Madrid never dreamed that there would be such a top club that invested a huge transfer of 150 million yuan in one of its own rotation players.

Manchester United's bid made them very passive.

They've lost garlic.

And pay for it.

And just when people thought that Chu Ge's transfer of Chu Coin would become the ceiling in the transfer market for a long time, just like Ronaldo before them, something surprising to them appeared.

Neymar transfers to Paris Saint-Germain!

The transfer is worth 222 million euros!

Up to 1.5 Chu coins!

Like Chu Ge, Paris Saint-Germain also directly triggered the liquidated damages clause in Neymar's contract. And just like the old enemy Real Madrid, Barcelona was also caught off guard by this forced digging of the wall by Grand Paris.

For a time, the whole world was shocked.

No one could have imagined that the world record set just last year would be broken just a year later.

It's as casual as playing at home.

It's simply inhumane.

And with Neymar's sky-high transfer, those teams with top stars are in danger for a while.

They are starting to realize the true value of top stars.

As a result, Manchester City seized the time to start contract renewal negotiations with Sergio Aguero and De Brone; Barcelona announced that the liquidated damages for all its players will be raised to more than 100 million, even including second-tier players, and the liquidated damages for first-team stars will be doubled; Real Madrid have taken similar measures, with liquidated damages for players such as Isco, Kovacic and Kroos rising sharply.

At this time, Manchester United fans realized how wise it was for Braida to seize the time to renew Chu Ge's contract.

According to the madness of the oil dads, Chu Ge only got a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds at Manchester United before the contract was renewed, which is simply equivalent to giving it for nothing in front of rich clubs.

They can bid a sky-high contract in minutes, directly stun Manchester United and Chu Ge, and forcibly take Chu Ge away.

In this context, the transfer value of excellent players has been greatly premium.

Mbappe, the winner of last year's European Golden Boy Award, the winner of the French Championship and the most outstanding young player in the Champions League, is known as the next "Chu Ge" in European football, and his transfer value has naturally been raised to an astronomical amount.

One Chu coin is the price for Manchester United to sign Mbappe.

In fact, this is the result of Mbappe's strong desire to join, which made the Monaco club make certain concessions.

The price offered by Grand Paris is higher than that of Manchester United.

However, in order to meet the wishes of the players, and the fact that the bid of Grand Paris was not much different from Manchester United, Monaco agreed to Manchester United's offer and sold Mbappe to Manchester United.

Of course.

Probably racial talent.

Like most Italian club transfers, Mbappe's move to Manchester United is in the form of a rent-to-own move. Manchester United first paid a certain amount of rent, and then agreed to a mandatory buyout for the second year, for a total price of 1 cent.

Leonardo, the sporting director of Grand Paris, and Manchester United's Braida, made an offer in exactly the same form.

This has the advantage of transferring Mbappe's transfer fee to the next year's budget, perfectly circumventing UEFA's Financial Fair Play Act. At the same time, United could free up their budget for the year to sign Virgil van Dijk from Southampton.

Van Dijk's move to Manchester United cost Manchester United as much as £7,500, or about 0.56 Chu dollars.

In the transfer history of the Premier League, Van Dijk's transfer value is second only to Chu Ge, Mbappe and Pogba, ranking fourth.

This is a world record for a centre-back's transfer fee.

After this transfer, Van Dijk became the most expensive centre-back in the world.

If it weren't for the loan and buyout method used in Mbappe's transfer, it would have been difficult for Brajda to get a sufficient transfer budget from his boss Glazer to make such a big signing.

In this way, the top four transfer records in the history of the Premier League are all collected in one team of Manchester United.

It's no wonder Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is very unhappy with this.

When interviewed by reporters, the character coach bluntly said that Manchester United's football is "golden football", which has ruined the football environment of the Premier League. He called on the FA and UEFA to investigate and punish Manchester United's inhumane input.

"A player's transfer fee is more than 100 million, which is outrageous!" Klopp said indignantly.

And then.

Half a year later, they sold Coutinho to Barcelona for a little more than a cent......

Let's not talk about that for now.

When Chu Ge met Mbappe at the training base, he didn't realize how much power this teenager contained.

He treats Mbappe like a brother.

Just like Ronaldo treated him back then.

Mbappe is also like Chu Ge back then, whether it is daily training or gym workouts, he will follow behind Chu Ge and carry out the same training program with Chu Ge.

Even resting and eating.

He will stick to Chu Ge's back.

Whenever Chu Ge made a beautiful dribble in training, Mbappe would not hesitate to praise him and then start imitating it.

Even free-kicks.

And to Chu Ge's surprise, this young man was really talented.

He was actually able to complete Chu Ge's movements without leaving ten.

The speed of learning is as fast as he can also get Chu Ge's superstar appreciation points.

Sometimes, Chu Ge even wondered if this guy also had a system.

Otherwise, why is he so like his second self?

……

As the training progressed, the number of Manchester United players at Carrington's training base gradually increased.

More and more team-mates are returning to Manchester from their leave.

Among them, of course, there is also new signing Van Dijk.

Also a newcomer to the team, Van Dijk's personality is very different from Mbappe's.

He's not as active as Mbappe.

But more resolute.

On his first day in Carrington, Van Dijk took the initiative to find Chu Ge.

"I'm here for the championship."

This was the first thing Van Dijk said to Chu Ge.

Followed by.

He added, "The next defense of the team, you can leave it to me." You just have to attack with confidence. ”

"I wanted a championship and you promised that we would win the heavyweight title. If within three years, you don't keep your promise, then, I will definitely leave. ”

When he said this, Van Dijk had a cool expression.

More of a cold-faced killer than Jean Reno.

"This is a very paranoid player, a player who has a strong obsession with the title."

Chu Ge's first impression of Van Dijk was like this.

And Chu Ge's second impression of Van Dijk is that this guy is really strong.

In team training, there are few who can take advantage of a head-to-head confrontation with Virgil van Dijk.

Including Mbappe.

Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford are not to mention.

And the little guys who were promoted to work with the first team in the second team, such as Mason Greenwood, were almost stopped from crying by Van Dijk.

Whether it is the intensity and hardness of the defense, or the speed and completion rate of the return, this defender can be called a model of central defender.

Even Manolas, the backbone of Manchester United's defence who joined the team last year, seems to be a notch lower than him.

"We've really picked up a treasure."

Chu Ge was very happy.

The better Van Dijk performs, the more Chu Ge is looking forward to the new season.

With the arrival of Virgil van Dijk, N'Golo Kante, Manolas and David De Gea, United's steely defence for the new season is taking shape.

It would have been even more perfect if there were one or two more strong full-backs.
