Dortmund Club, Germany, in a video room.

At this moment, the team's head coach Jurgen Klopp, as well as the team's top management, are quietly watching a game.

The footage shows that the team is fighting against Manchester United and Liverpool's reserve team.

That's right, it's the reserves!

Jurgen Klopp's eyes were always on the Manchester United development team, wearing the "number 99" shirt, a player with such a strange number, and judging by the color of his skin, this was an Asian player.

Klopp was very observant, nodding his head, sometimes shaking his head, and taking notes from time to time.

After the video ended, Klopp was the first to speak: "I agree to Shinji Kagawa's transfer, but there is one condition, that is, for the loan of 'China Li', I want to be able to add a buyout clause. ”

Hearing that Klopp did not refuse the same as last time, the team's senior management breathed a sigh of relief, and it would be good to communicate with Manchester United first.

The team's top management are all old foxes, and after watching the video of this game, they immediately understood what Manchester United's Ferguson was having.

This is because the Premier League has the restriction of "labor certification", and "China Li" cannot play on behalf of Manchester United, so Ferguson, an old fox, will pay money and shoehorn players into them.

Then, after the "China Lee" played well, they took it back and used it for themselves.

But thinking of this, the eyes of the Dortmund executives lit up, and they remembered this in their hearts, because it is very important.

In the ensuing negotiations, whether or not United agree to their proposed "buy-out clause", they are already in a winning position.

The senior management of Dortmund Club hopes that Ferguson really values "China Li" at this time, so that they can take the initiative in the next negotiations with Manchester United, but they are also very surprised, knowing that appearing in the team's 18-man squad and being able to play are completely two different concepts.

Is Ferguson so sure that "China Li" can play in Dortmund?

Aren't you afraid that your pound will be lost?

You must know that many young players performed well in the reserve team, but after being promoted to the professional team, there are not a few who stand out from the crowd.

The news of Manchester United's 7-0 massacre of Liverpool's reserves team was naturally reported by the British media.

However, there are too many rumors and transfer news during the winter window, even if it is Manchester United and Liverpool, but a battle between the reserve teams is not worth spending too much energy on them at this time.

Most news media just reprinted the news on the official websites of Manchester United or Liverpool, and then used a piece of "dried tofu" text in the corner of their respective sports sections to report it.

Liverpool's because of the displeasure that Li Shuai "doesn't understand the rules", led by a big score, and led the team to attack aggressively, deliberately retaliating, not saying a word about Li Shuai's performance, on the contrary, Pogba and Morrison, and even Lingard, who scored a goal, have mentioned.

As for Manchester United's official website, they received instructions from Alex Ferguson not to deliberately mention Li Shuai's name.

Li Shuai did not know that Ferguson was protecting him in private, and he thought that his performance in the game might be able to find his name in the newspaper media.

As a result, Li Shuai was obviously disappointed.

However, there was a piece of news that caught his attention, Morrison, who performed well in the victory over Liverpool's reserve team a few days ago, was put on the "shelf" by Manchester United.

As long as there is a bid from a team that meets United's needs, then Morrison will have to leave Manchester United, the club he has played for since childhood.

It is said that on the one hand, because in the past two seasons of Manchester United, he has only made three substitute appearances for the first team in the cup, and Morrison, who wants to get more minutes for the first team, rejected Manchester United's contract extension and wants to find a team that can allow him to play in consecutive games.

On the other hand, Morrison's attitude on the pitch, his lack of progress, and all kinds of incidents off the pitch, not long ago, this guy had a domestic violence scandal, and Ferguson's patience with this once high-minded genius has run out.

For two reasons, Morrison was eventually put on the "shelf" of Manchester United.

Li Shuai couldn't help but sigh, just a few days ago, they were still playing together, maybe in a few days, they will have to leave separately.

However, Li Shuai only sighed for a moment, his relationship with Morrison was not very good, and there were even unpleasant things.

And he is not qualified to interfere in the fate of others, because even he does not know where his future lies.

Li Shuai has long set his sights on the professional league, especially after the match against Liverpool's reserve team.

Li Shuai already felt his strength, if he was still in the reserve team, it would just be a waste of time, and his heart couldn't wait to start a new challenge.

Just don't know where it's going?

Of course, it is impossible for the current Li Shuai to know that the reason why Ferguson asked him to perform well and instructed the reserve team manager Joyce to bring out all the characteristics of Li Shuai is because he wants to forward the video of this game to Dortmund.

In order to facilitate this loan, Ferguson found a good place for Li Shuai and completed the role of an agent.

However, Li Shuai, who had no agent and knew nothing about his future, followed Ferguson's advice, trained harder than usual, and patiently waited for the opportunity in Ferguson's mouth.

Li Shuai believes in Ferguson and believes in this old man who has the grace to know him!

Carrington training base, Ferguson's office.

When Ferguson saw the news from Dortmund, he said, "Is it funny that you want to buy out 'Lee'?" ”

"I lent it to you, and I gave you money, and you still want to buy it out, when I'm a fool?" Ferguson looked very unhappy and sneered mockingly.

With Ferguson's emphasis on Li Shuai, of course, it is impossible to agree to add a buyout clause to the loan contract.

In this way, from the beginning of Dortmund's disagreement, now it has become Manchester United's disagreement.

Manchester United only agreed to a loan, not a buyout, and Dortmund believe that Kagawa Silk's transfer can be negotiated, but a buyout clause for Li Shuai must be added.

As a result, the two teams fell into a stalemate.

At this time, Shinji Kagawa, who was bent on joining Manchester United, could not have imagined that his transfer would come to a standstill because of the loan of a reserve player.

However, the so-called negotiation is to find a compromise point between the two sides, and the appeal of Dortmund's top management is to sell Shinji Kagawa for money, and hope that Li Shuai can join Dortmund and open up a huge Chinese fan market for them.

Manchester United wants to add a midfielder to make up for the current lack of midfield, and then take the initiative to loan Li Shuai to Dortmund, so that Li Shuai can have the opportunity to improve in high-level teams.

Both sides have their own needs, and naturally a compromise will slowly be formed.

In the end, under the mediation of the senior management of the two clubs, regarding Li Shuai's loan, Dortmund repeatedly insisted that a buyout clause must be added at the beginning, and Dortmund agreed to put Li Shuai in the team's 18-man squad, but Manchester United must pay 5 million pounds for the development of the loan.

Seeing that the winter transfer window was about to close, Ferguson didn't want to repeatedly drag the skin for this money, delaying the plan in his heart, and finally agreed to this condition, but this "strange loan" in Manchester United Club also caused a lot of turmoil.
