Chapter 352: Are You My Dad Air?
With the Manchester derby just a day to go, Manchester United's American owner, Glazer Jr., flew to Manchester to entertain the Manchester United players and cheer them on personally.
The rooftop revolving restaurant at the Laura Hotel Manchester.
All Manchester United first-team players, chairman Woodward, manager Jose Mourinho, owner Glazer Jr. The crowd sat down.
Glazer Jr. is in his fifties. His father, Glazer Sr., was a well-known Jewish businessman in New York. The elder Glazer led the acquisition of 98 per cent of Manchester United's shares in '05.
Jewish merchants were unprofitable. The old Glazer bought Manchester United definitely not because of feelings, but to make money. A year before the elder Glazer's death, he single-handedly contributed to the listing of Manchester United on the New York Stock Exchange. As a football club, the team's results can greatly affect the stock price.
In financial markets, there is also a meteorological butterfly effect. The outcome of the Manchester City derby will naturally affect the value of Manchester United shares in Glazer Jr.'s hands. Because of this, Glazer Jr. will not hesitate to set up a winning award and a goal award for this game.
Little Glazer raised his glass and first said a bunch of words of encouragement to the players, what Manchester United must win and glory belongs to Manchester United.
Bart, the reserve coach sitting next to Liu Yun, whispered to Liu Yun: "He understands the meaning of the sentence that glory belongs to Manchester United? Oh, I think it's about the same as the dollar belongs to the Glazers. β
Liu Yun smiled slightly.
Bart, a member of the Class of '92, sees Manchester United's honour as his life. He has always looked down on mercenary team owners. In his eyes, after the old Glazer bought Manchester United, Manchester United is no longer the Manchester United it used to be.
Little Glazer raised his glass and said to Liu Yun in a loud voice: "Old lieutenant, your recent hot state has given you a huge number of admirers in the United States. It's a miracle that the 46-year-old is firmly at the top of the Premier League's scorer list! β
Liu Yun bowed his head towards Little Glazer and said, "Thank you, boss." β
Little Glazer looked at his watch: "I'm sorry guys, I still have to talk to someone who rushed to London to talk to Barclays." You use it slowly. On the day of the Manchester derby, I would be there to watch the game. Good bye. β
Jewish businessmen like Little Glazer are tempted to save their time. Originally, it was a banquet for the players and coaches of the team. As a result, he didn't eat half of the meal, and he, the host, withdrew first.
As soon as the team owner left, the atmosphere at the long table immediately came alive.
Ibu said to Liu Yun, "Hey, old lieutenant. We can't afford to lose this game. Our little princess of Manchester United has already taken to the Twitter of Manchester City's number one goalkeeper to demonstrate. For the sake of the little princess's face on Twitter, we also want to win the derby. β
Silly Dameng Pogba answered: "Yes, yes, yes, my Huaguo teacher's face is the most important." β
Liu Yun was puzzled: "Teacher Huaguo? β
Pogba nodded: "Mm-hmm, that's right. I've officially worshipped her as my checkers teacher! β
Liu Yun has long been in harmony with his teammates with his outstanding performance in the league. He made a joke about Pogba: "Really? Why do I keep hearing Yan Yan complain about your low IQ? She wouldn't take in a stupid student like you, would she? β
Pogba touched his head: "Really, old lieutenant! She also told me that according to the seniority of Huaguo, I should call you grandfather. β
Pogba's words made his teammates laugh.
Liu Yun said: "By the way, there is one more thing. I've promised our family. Against Manchester City, if I can score, all the prize money goes to buy her a car. β
When it comes to cars, Rashford has a lot to offer. He said, "Buy a car? Old lieutenant, you are a connoisseur at scoring goals. When it comes to cars, I'm a connoisseur. Be sure to consult me then! β
Mourinho slapped the table: "Don't mention the car!" The last time you were speeding, you actually said your name was Aguero. You bastard, you did thisγγγγγγ It's to my taste! β
Rashford shrugged: "Bad things and bad reputations are still left to our enemies!" β
Ibrahimovic suddenly remembered another thing: "Old lieutenant, your current number of goals is the first in the list of scorers in the five major leagues. This year you have a chance to win the European Golden Boot! In recent years, the European Golden Boot has either been Messi or Ronaldo, which is really boring! β
Ibrahimovic mentioned Ronaldo, and Chairman Woodward looked embarrassed, it was he who led the sale of Ronaldo to Real Madrid.
But after a few moments, Woodward was relieved. Player transfers are a normal thing. Although he sold Ronaldo at the beginning, didn't he bring in the old lieutenant, Nemanja Matic, and Lukaku this year?
Lukaku suddenly pulled out his phone. Loud voice: "Please allow me to read Sergio Aguero's latest tweet: Manchester United? We will definitely defeat them! β
"Really? Arrogant. β
"It's not certain who will win against whom."
Lukaku added: "Ha, here's a comment from our little princess of Manchester United! She's the Twitter press officer for us at Manchester United right now. She commented 'You're air to my dad? βγ Hahaha, Chairman Woodward, should you give the little princess a Manchester United Twitter press officer salary? β
Woodward shrugged his shoulders: "Well, if Manchester United can beat Manchester City in the derby. The old lieutenant scored again, got a goal bonus, and bought a car for the little princess of Manchester United. I privately sponsored her a spare tire. β
Mourinho clapped his hands: "Everyone here, the person who has participated in the Manchester derby the most times should be Bart. Ask Bart to tell us the secret to the win over Manchester City. β
Bart stood up: "Manchester City?" When I was playing, they were just a team of fish. The way to beat them is to score goals. One does not achieve two, two does not achieve three, and three does not achieve four! β
Jose Mourinho and the rest of the players applauded Bart's words.
Bart added: "Although Manchester City's strength has increased in recent years. But I'm confident that we can beat them again tomorrow! We'll show them that Manchester, it's red territory! Blue is just a foil! β
After the little Glazer left, the banquet had an unexpected effect. The banquet became like a family dinner, and the atmosphere was relaxed. The strong smell of gunpowder before the derby seems to have been replaced by a relaxed atmosphere.
After the banquet, Liu Yun came to the door of the hotel. Dardanha was already waiting for him there.
Liu Yun got into the car, and Dardanha asked, "Boss, are you going home?" β
Liu Yun nodded: "Well, go home." β
Liu Yun wanted to open the window and watch the lights in the city of Manchester. At the top of the Michelin Tower, a photo of Liu Yun, Ibrahimovic and Romelu Lukaku pointing to the jersey number behind them was projected on the big screen. This photo has become LIL's iconic photo.
Gotta win the derby. Liu Yun said to himself in his heart.
