Chapter 146: The Madness of the Premier League

On Saturday night, what is Ferguson at home?

Maybe someone will be watching TV, someone will be chilling out on the balcony, and someone will be sleeping. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, no one would have thought that at this moment, Ferguson would put on his wife Cathy's emerald apron and wash dishes in the kitchen of the Cheshire villa.

This scene is absolutely not allowed to leak out, otherwise, maybe Ferguson's prestige will be weakened.

As for enjoyment, I'm sorry, that's the power that belongs to his wife, Cathy, and his grandchildren, and he doesn't

He had to wait until he had washed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen before he could untie his apron and go back to the living room and sit down comfortably, looking at the time, it was still early, because he never rested so early, and many of the games were played at night, which forced him to get into the habit of going to bed late.

When he is idle and bored, he will be like all the old people, watching those TV series that are complained about by young people, and from time to time he will be amused by the vulgar plots in it, and at this time, he is no different from other old people.

But when the machine on his desk rang, his face quickly changed from a smile to a serious one.

"Hey" Ferguson picked up the phone directly, and didn't have time to see who it was, "Who?" ”

"It's me, David," David Gill said on the other end of the phone, "have you received the message?" ”

"What's the news?" Ferguson's eyes were still on the TV, he was watching it hotly, what do you care.

When David Gill heard this, he immediately sighed, "Ronaldinho announced the transfer"

"What?" As soon as Ferguson heard this, he jumped up from the couch.

You know, since April this year, he has been running the transfer of Ronaldinho, in his opinion, after Veron refused to move to the right, Ronaldinho has become the most suitable person to replace Beckham, and the Brazilian has a magical footwork that Premier League players do not have, which will be a strong complement to Manchester United.

Frankly, there are many giants who are optimistic about Ronaldinho now, but there are not many who are really interested, because the Brazilian is also in the limelight in the World Cup in South Korea, in Ligue 1, he performed well in the first year, and the second year was average.

Judging from the transfer market this summer, the biggest player hotspot is Leicester City, and the only team that is really interested in Ronaldinho is Manchester United, as for Real Madrid, after bringing in Beckham, who thinks they will bring in Ronaldinho? I heard that Florentino gave a condition to stay in Ligue 1 for another year and transfer to Madrid next year.

But Ronaldinho clearly rejected Real Madrid's proposal and said that he would not stay in Ligue 1.

After the 2002 Summer World Cup, Ronaldinho was indeed very popular, when Brazil was in full swing, and Paris Saint-Germain also took the opportunity to open his mouth and scare away many buyers, resulting in Ronaldinho finally rotting in it, and a year later, in April, Ronaldinho's external valuation was 9 million euros.

At that time, Ferguson directly expressed interest in Paris Saint-Germain, hoping to conduct in-depth negotiations, but as soon as Paris Saint-Germain saw that a team expressed interest, it immediately raised the price, but it was 50 million euros.

This is also a common trick in the transfer market, anyway, there are no other buyers, I will treat it coldly for a while, and then slowly grind with you.

In August, after the end of the season, Beckham's transfer was made public, and Ferguson's idea of finding a successor to Beckham was revealed, at which time Paris Saint-Germain also made a starting price, offering Ronaldinho up to 50 million euros, and did not allow Manchester United to return the price.

Ferguson observed the situation and determined that there were indeed no other teams interested in Ronaldinho and decided to continue waiting.

This waited for Real Madrid and Barcelona to enter the game, but the two teams entered the game in different ways, the former directly found the player, hoping to serve Ronaldinho to stay in Paris for another year, and then switch to the Galaxy Battleship, but Ronaldinho's brother and agent refused.

As for Barcelona, the most important thing for Laporta now is to find a manager, although the introduction of Ronaldinho is underway, but it is only to maintain a presence, not to give positive contact, not even to make an offer or ask price, which makes Manchester United feel reassured.

But Paris Saint-Germain took the opportunity to raise prices again and directly shouted that there was no 50 million euros.

Everyone can see that they are using Ronaldinho as a cash cow, especially after seeing that after selling Beckham, Manchester United must be Ronaldinho, and Laporta is also urgently needed to bring in a star player to replace Beckham to appease the fans after losing Beckham, the appetite of Parisians is too big.

Even though Alex Ferguson, David Gill and Peter Kenyon have personally negotiated with PSG president Guerrère, the Frenchman has been arrogant enough to say that Ronaldinho has no shortage of buyers, and the transfer has been stalled since mid-August.

Ferguson is sure that Barcelona is not as high a transfer fee as the Parisians would like, and Manchester United have become one of the few top teams in European football to be able to afford a transfer fee after selling Beckham, so he can wait and is willing to wait.

But what no one expected was that just ten days later, the transfer market suddenly broke the news of Ronaldinho's transfer, how could this surprise Ferguson, who was in his hands on the winning ticket.

"Who? Barcelona? Ferguson asked, shocked.

David Gill said with some frustration on the other end of the phone: "No, it's not Barcelona, they must be surprised now." ”

"Who's that? Don't sell me off," Ferguson was a little angry.

David Gildau "Chelsea".

Ferguson was surprised, but quickly calmed down, yes, there are not many teams in the transfer market with enough budgets, Chelsea and Manchester United are two of them, and Chelsea have more money than Manchester United.

"Damn," Ferguson almost felt the urge to throw away the phone, "how much money did they pay?" ”

"50 million euros, plus a young player brought in from Bastia, Michael Essien, who is on loan at Paris Saint-Germain for a free year, Guerrèl has officially informed me that Paris Saint-Germain has agreed after only one day of consideration, and Ronaldinho will sign in London tomorrow accompanied by his brother."

Michael Essien, this is a player that Ferguson has his eye on, but due to the labor certification problem in the Premier League, Ferguson had to give up the Ghanaian rookie, but unexpectedly, he went to Chelsea, which made Ferguson have an urge to vomit blood.

Two players he fancied were poached by his opponent at the same time, can he not hate?

50 million euros, I can take it myself, but why was they preempted?

"Damn it," Ferguson scolded indignantly.

"They brought in Michael Essien for 50 million euros and subleased Paris Saint-Germain for a year, and there is news that this is because Essien cannot get a labor certificate for the time being, and Paris Saint-Germain is also interested in Michael Essien, so the transfer was finally completed."

Ferguson burst out several foul words in a row, which showed his anger at this moment.

It's good to have money, and you don't need to scruple about spending it big, but Ferguson is used to being diligent and thrifty, although Manchester United is rich now, he still has to save some flowers, unlike the nouveau riche.

"What do we do now?" David Gill asked.

Ferguson was a little distressed, thought for a moment, and sighed: "I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

He really couldn't think of any tricks for a while, but he kept scolding that damn Wenger in his head, and he felt as if the Frenchman had come to fight against him, and kept playing against himself.

As everyone knows, at this moment, Wenger is at David Dunn's house, and he is also depressed.

Early the next morning, the whole of London was boiling

Because on this morning, the media broke the news that Paris Saint-Germain was on the official website last night, saying that Paris Saint-Germain had accepted Wenger's offer of 50 million euros to Ronaldinho, and this transfer also surpassed Beckham and became the transfer bid king this summer.

All the fans were shocked, because there was no news before, everyone thought that the closest to Ronaldinho was Manchester United or Real Madrid, but suddenly it became Arsene Wenger, which had to be very surprising.

In the morning, Ronaldinho, accompanied by his brother Roberto Assis and his lawyer, arrived at London's Heathrow Stadium, where there were already media outlets to take pictures of their arrival in London, and then followed them all the way to Stamford Bridge in the car that Wenger had come to meet them.

Negotiations over personal treatment were intense throughout the morning, and Arsene Wenger also took the time to meet with Ronaldinho, with the Brazilian expressing his satisfaction with joining Arsene Wenger and hoping to have the opportunity to perform at his best here, while Arsene Wenger promised to give him the most room to perform.

Throughout the process, there were many reporters and media from all over the world gathered outside the Wembley stadium, and many Gunners fans came here to support the team after hearing the news, after all, Ronaldinho is also a superstar figure.

The happiest is Abramovich, he gave Ye Qiu a transfer budget of 300 million euros, the purpose is to hope that Hu Li can bring in powerful superstars, but so far it has only cost 50 million euros to introduce a large number of superstars, and the Gunners in the same city spent 50 million euros to bring in a Ronaldinho. This made Abramovich think that it was really worth the money to invite Hu Li.

Arsene Wenger is also big now, spending 50 million to bring in Ronaldinho, which has increased the team's salary space. All the players' brokers called for a salary increase. But Ronaldinho couldn't be happier. The Gunners promised an annual salary of €4 million after tax to lure the Brazilian into joining Arsenal.

You know, the current star of Cannavaro's level only has an annual salary of 4.5 million euros after tax, can Ronaldinho be unhappy?

Four hours later, the two sides officially signed an agreement that Ronaldinho would belong to Arsene Wenger and belong to the Gunners for the next five years.

Then, despite the scorching heat in the middle of the day, the Gunners summoned all the reporters who were outside into a press conference at Wembley Stadium to officially announce Ronaldinho's arrival, but this time, it was clear that Wenger was not just announcing Ronaldinho's arrival.

'I'm very happy to bring in a superstar like Ronaldinho, one of the most incredible players in football today, I have no doubt that he will succeed at Wembley, and I believe he will be the heart and soul of the team in the new season, he is our number 10'

When Arsene Wenger introduced Ronaldinho, he focused on the pivotal position of the Brazilian in his own tactics, and the Brazilian made no secret of his fierce teeth, grinning and laughing, and his mood was very happy.

'I am honoured by the importance that Arsenal and Professor Arsene Wenger have taken to me and I am confident that I will be able to take the Gunners to the next level under Professor Wenger's leadership.

In the end, Arsene Wenger personally presented Ronaldinho with a Gunners' No. 10 shirt, and Ronaldinho's name was printed on the back, and then showed it to all the reporters who came to the scene to take pictures wantonly.

After introducing Ronaldinho, the Brazilian left the venue early, while Arsene Wenger stayed on to highlight a few transfers for the Gunners.

"We are delighted to announce that we have reached an agreement with Porto to bring in midfielder Anderson Deco from Porto for a fee of €8 million, the Porto star will bring more energy and creativity to our midfield, and I am confident that he will succeed at Wembley."

The reporters at the scene were in an uproar, originally they just wanted to report on Ronaldinho's joining, but they didn't expect that Wenger suddenly offered more news, which made them all crazy.

"In addition, we have brought in Italian international Fabio Cannavaro from Inter Milan for €45 million, and the captain of the Italian national team will be an important part of our backline for the new season."

When a group of reporters heard this, they were all stunned, and then they burst into exclamations, because the giants who were previously associated with Cannavaro were Real Madrid and Barcelona, but the Gunners added to poach the captain of the Italian national team, which is not lost to poaching Ronaldinho.

It must be admitted that Cannavaro's bad year at Inter Milan has weakened and questioned his influence and strength, but no matter what, the identity of the captain of the Italian national team is there, who can question it?

"Mr. Arsene Wenger, what kind of chips did you use to impress Cannavaro?" An Italian reporter asked in surprise that this news has not yet been exposed in Italy, and it is definitely an exclusive preemptive report.

"Because I promised that we will be full of fighting for the new season and our goal is to build the strongest team in Europe," Wenger said with a confident smile, who is now full of confidence for the future.

Arsene Wenger then highlighted two more transfers, one of which was the €8.5 million transfer from Guingamp in France, a player who was targeted by a number of giants at the same time, only to be acquired by Arsene Wenger for the Ivory Coast beast.

Arsenal's series of big moves have caused a heat wave on the European continent again, and the Premier League is going crazy.

Although Chelsea is a tycoon, they are also consciously controlled, and the gunner seems to have been stimulated by Chelsea.
