268th Battle of Revenge

However, just one day before the start of the game, an explosive news immediately detonated the entire football world.

Manchester United's sworn rival Manchester City boss, Abu Dhabi Consortium's Sheikh Mansour, was unhappy with Manchester City's performance this season, and Manchester City immediately announced that the club's manager Hughes would be sacked at the end of the season, while former Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini would be appointed as Manchester City manager.

And just this morning, Mancini, who arrived at Manchester Airport, faced the microphone of reporters and said the first words of his idea about Manchester City, which shocked everyone, "If I can sign the players I want in the summer transfer market, I will write 100 names on that list, they are Jonk, Jonk, Jonk......"

The BBC reporter at Manchester Airport, facing the camera camera, did not hide his shock and excitement, his slightly stupid lips hoarsely shouted, "Chief Mansour, Mr. Mancini's wishes, did you hear me?" Will you grant his wishes? ”

And Stierberg, a columnist for The Times, quickly hand-wrote a succinct report on the spot, with the headline, "Top Alert - Abu Dhabi Storm Hits!" ”

For a moment, even the attention of Jonker in this revenge battle against Tottenham Hotspur was distracted, because after Mancini's words at the airport, a close friend of Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour, Hydra Asset CEO Suleiman Al Fahim, who is also the middleman of the Abu Dhabi consortium's acquisition of Manchester City, bluntly said in an interview with ESPN, "Mansour's Jonker is a super fan." He'd dreamed of bringing Jonker to Manchester City Stadium, and now. Here's your chance! ”

Here's your chance?!

Just before people could figure out what was going on, the Daily Mirror broke the news again. The Glazer family has been mired in an unprecedented financial crisis and has long had the idea of pushing Jonk into the transfer market, but this idea has not been implemented due to the desperate opposition of manager Alex Ferguson. And this also caused a strong dissatisfaction with Jonker, and even made Manchester United's No. 25 have the disheart to leave the Old Trafford stadium, but under Ferguson's strong retention, Jonk was moved by Ferguson's emotional offensive and agreed to stay at Manchester United, and the Glazer family agreed. Unless someone is able to come up with a £150 million penalty for Jonk, there will be no further forced sale of Jonk.

If Jonk had seen this report from the Daily Mirror, he would have been surprised to find that it would have been impossible to write this report without being a real insider of the matter, and considering the previous reports of the Daily Mirror, it was obvious that it was operated behind the scenes. The purpose is obvious. It is to convey a message to the outside world through the guò "Daily Mirror". Jonk is no longer for sale, he can sell, however, for at least 150 million pounds. The Glazer family, mired in a debt crisis, is eager to sell Jonk for space!

The Daily Mirror even let some fans who don't know about the owner of the Manchester City team know about this rich man, and used the style of poetry to tell the net worth of the rich man of the Abu Dhabi consortium -

He. is an Arab, walking on Hyde Road in London. To you, he is nothing but a stranger; But for Manchester City fans. He is Sheikh. Mansour bin Zaid Ale? Hayan -- one of the richest and most powerful people in the world, he is an oil tycoon, he is a rich man, he is the owner of the Manchester City team. He bought Manchester City FC with hundreds of millions of pounds of firepower, dwarfing Abramovich in an instant.

Yes, he's a 'many, many billions of dollars', how much money does he have? His money is bigger than Bill. Gates, Rowling, the Queen and Abramovich have more wealth combined. The venerable Sheikh Mansour, from the Emirati royal family in the Middle East, whose brother is the ruler of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and has a family fortune of US$100 billion (£55 billion), is the poor owner of Manchester City.

As the tabloid with the largest circulation in England, the "Sun" also followed up at the first time, and did not fall behind, they made a cartoon with the title of "The Battle of Jonck", in the comic, Jonk was made into a golden statue, and the auction was held, and a group of bigwigs were bidding-

Carrying the £70 million sign was Chelsea CEO Peter Brown. Kenyon; His face was ugly because Inter Milan owner Moratti immediately held up the £80 million sign.

Florentino did not hold up the sign, his reserve price was half-concealed, and the words 100 million pounds could be faintly seen.

The owner of the Manchester City team, Sheikh Mansour is tasting red wine, and his beautiful personal assistant lady is holding a handful of hole cards in her hand, which are 120 million pounds, 130 million pounds, 140 million pounds, and 150 million pounds. Smash these bunnies to death! ’

Rumors are faster than the virus, and the news about Jonker's possible departure from Manchester United has not been circulated much, even if the media reported the news of the meeting between Jonker's agent Rodriguez and Florentino, and then because Manchester United Club announced that Jonk was not for sale, and Jonk stood up and said that he would not leave Manchester United, and most importantly, Florentino did not come out to say anything, and this one-man show could not be sung.

However, this time, Mansour, the new Manchester City coach Mansour, who was personally selected by the rich Manchester City owner, said that the first player name was Jonker, and a close friend of Sheikh Mansour also expressed the oil tycoon's love for Jonker, thinking of Manchester City's madness last summer, thinking about the courage of the Abu Dhabi consortium that is not bad for money, and when there is still a month before the end of the season, the bombshell news about Manchester City's request to buy Jonk is like an atomic bomb exploding in the transfer market.

After the news came out of the UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, and the whole of European football were talking about the news, that is, will Jonk transfer?

And the insider of the "Daily Mirror" analyzed the transfer of Jonker, which is very straightforward, as long as someone spends money to the satisfaction of the Glazer family. You'll be able to take Jonker away from Old Trafford!

Journalists' noses are always the most sensitive, at a time when the club has not yet made any say on the matter. Reporters from The Times, Reuters, and the French newspaper Le Corpus followed Jonker, who was heading to the Carrington training base in the morning, at the entrance to the base. Stopped Jonker.

Jonker looked a little surprised, he didn't know what the Manchester City people said, Jonk has been sleeping from last night to now, watching the video of the previous game, and his mobile phone has been turned off.

In the face of the reporter's question, Jonk did not hide it, and told the reporter directly. He did have an agreement with manager Alex Ferguson that he would not move unless a club could pay £150 million in liquidated damages.

"Does that mean you've decided to leave Manchester United?" A reporter asked.

This made Jonker a little angry, and he replied unceremoniously, "If I have no feelings for Manchester United and want to leave, is it necessary for me to agree to this condition?" Do you think anyone would really be able to get the price of 150 million pounds? If I want to leave Manchester United. Much simpler. ”

The reporter was choked by Jonk's words, but the other reporters also nodded, yes. If Jonker wants to leave Manchester United, he just needs to make some noise and leave.

"For Mr. Mancini's invitation. How are you going to respond? The reporter of "Team Daily" asked.

"Mr. Mancini is a great coach and he has won two Serie A titles at Inter Milan. It's an honor to hear him appreciate me, though. Don't talk to me about transfers, it's a club thing, I just want to play well, I love the fans, my goals can bring them joy, that's what I'm happiest, I'm playing for the fans, not for anyone else. And I stayed at Manchester United because I loved it, I had fans who liked me, my team-mates were good and most importantly, Alex was like a father. ”

Although Jonker's words can also be understood as refusing the invitation of the Manchester City people, however, the reporters who have become fine still heard a trace of flavor from Jonker's words, Jonk said so much, and there are so many reasons to stay, but it is also exposed that Jonk and Manchester United club management really have a bad relationship, and even have a rift, it seems that it is really like that, Ferguson's persuasion is the reason why Jonk stayed.

'Mr. Jonker, can you tell us that Manchester United have two league and FA Cup titles left to fight for this season, and if you had to choose, which one would you choose? The correspondent of The Times asked.

"I want both, the desire to win is the best stimulus for the players!" Jonk replied coolly. He has figured it out now, him, don't worry about the transfer, play well, use the championship to vent the frustration in his heart, to be honest, Jonk is now suddenly starting to feel that if someone is really willing to pay 150 million pounds for him, he can transfer and leave.

First of all, since he has the money to spend 150 million pounds to buy his own, he will definitely not be short of money, and Jonk does not have to worry about being sold for cash because of the club's financial problems, which is the case at AC Milan and the same at Manchester United, the club owner has no money, so he hit the idea on Jonker's head, Jonk is forced to transfer, there is no choice, he is fed up.

There is a rich boss, and these workers who play football are also at ease.

In addition, Li Jian 'brainwashed' Jonk every day, and Jonk also felt a little that he had won any championship at Manchester United, and maybe he would be more motivated in a new environment.

Another point, if there is really a club that buys out the liquidated damages and buys out Jonker, then Jonk no longer has to feel guilty about the old Scottish man, to be honest, in the modern football society, between Jonk and Ferguson, it is already very good that they can do this for each other.

The hype about Manchester City's attack on Jonker finally became a little smaller on April 26, because, today's game is Manchester United's home game against Tottenham Hotspur, half a year ago, Jonker was tackled by Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane, and almost scrapped his career, and now, the two teams collide again, although Tottenham Hotspur is not the traditional top four of the Premier League, but the matchup of this game still attracts the attention of fans around the world.

Woodgate was resentful, and his malicious foul on Jonck caused Jonck to be seriously injured for more than four months, and Woodgate suddenly became the public enemy of hundreds of millions of fans, which made Woodgate very big. Woodgate was also banned by the FA and has now returned. However, the Tottenham Hotspur captain's resentment towards Jonker is growing day by day.

"Jonker's battle for revenge?" Woodgate told reporters. "It sounds like an interesting name. However, I would like to ask, is there any hatred to take revenge on? It's normal to get tackled on the pitch, there's nothing to discuss. His tone seemed to be saying that the neighbor's dog was pooping, but in fact, the tone of the Tottenham Hotspur captain immediately pulled the game in the direction of saber rattling.

The reporters who interviewed Woodgate heard him say that. Immediately excited like a chick with an orgasm.

Woodgate snorted, "It's not a game, it's a war!" ”

Joel Luca, Gareth around him. Bell and the young men of Modric were all tingling in their scalps, and they sighed and said nothing, looking at the captain who had lost his mind, and they were a little worried.

And Aaron. Lennon even suddenly thought about whether to remind Jonker to be careful, Woodgate's feelings were wrong, and not to do anything irrational tackle against Jonk. Still, Allen Lennon sighed, and now the opponents of the two teams, he did it. If his Tottenham Hotspur team-mates had known, he wouldn't want to stay in this team anyway. Aaron Lennon had no choice but to remain silent.

"A battle for revenge?" Jonk frowned and said to the reporters. "That's not the right thing to say, it's just a normal league. I don't think there's a hatred between me and Tottenham Hotspur, I'm with Allen in this team. Lennon was still a good friend, so I don't think the word 'revenge' is appropriate. Of course, when the game starts, we are opponents, and that's just for the game, it's a sign of respect for the game. ”

The reporters laughed, and when they heard this come out of Jonker's mouth, they always felt weird, and Jonk also laughed, although he was in a bad mood, he had to make occasional jokes in front of the media, so as to be in line with Jonck's current image and status, and Jonk imagined that he couldn't answer by himself 'What is wrong, it is revenge, Lao Tzu is going to fuck Tottenham Hotspur', in this way, before the game starts, the FA should find Jonker, although Jonk thinks so in his heart.

"This game is at home, and this game is very important for Manchester United to win the league this season, I know that we are only one point ahead now, which is dangerous, and the next few games, there is no room for loss, so we have only one goal, and that is to win." Jonk said with a smile, with a confident smile.

Of course, if Woodgate doesn't have a long eye, Jonk won't mind using a lot of Xuan Gong to give Woodgate some unforgettable memories, who wouldn't bully people, Jonk is even more powerful in his hands to bully people.

A reporter told Woodgate what he said, wanting to see how Jonk answered, but Jonk didn't seem angry, "He's the captain of Tottenham Hotspur, if I had been the starting captain today, I would have shaken his hand." ”

The reporters were a little disappointed not to be able to see Jonker go berserk, because Jonk had already stated in the interview that he was not allowed to ask anything about the transfer, so the reporters could only ask questions about this game, although they were scratching their hearts like cat's claws.

The Times reporter rolled his eyes, "Last question, may I ask, how many goals are you going to score in tonight's game?" ”

"Will it be a hat-trick?" Other reporters in the crowd shouted loudly.

Jonk was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what these reporters meant, and he laughed and said, "If I had to choose, I plan to enter 99!" ”

Jonk signaled that the last question had been asked, and he turned to leave, when someone shouted behind him, "Why not 100?" ”

"I'm a low-key person." Jonk waved his hand and returned to the training ground, leaving only the reporters looking at each other, or excited, just saying, Jonk couldn't be so calm, and they were looking forward to this game.

'Alex, this game is important for Manchester United and I'm worried about Jonker's form. Manchester United assistant coach McPheran said that his sentence has two meanings, on the one hand, because of the current uproar about the transfer of Jonker, and on the other hand, they all know that Jonk is holding his breath and gritting his teeth to prepare for this game, afraid that Jonk will be affected by the situation, and in addition, they are also worried that Jonk will be injured again in this predictable fierce game.

'My biggest concern right now is that Tottenham Hotspur are moving too much in the game. Ferguson said. He stretched, got up and paced around the room. Get moving. In fact, Ferguson's relationship for the past two days has not been very good. The old Scottish man already knew about Manchester City's bid for Jonker, and he knew that it was not rumor, but fact, and Manchester City had already called to find out the tone of Manchester United.

Seeing what McPheran was about to say, Ferguson waved his hand, "Hopefully it will be useful to put pressure on the referee." ”

In fact, just a few days ago, Ferguson set the momentum for this match against Tottenham Hotspur. He appealed to the referee to stop some of the excessive movements on the pitch in time, and Ferguson said in vehement that if Jonk was to be viciously assaulted again in this game, it would be murder, and it would be a continuation of the last attempted murder.

The FA was unhappy with Ferguson's remarks and warned Ferguson that he was alarmist.

However, given the extremely high profile of this match. The FA also had to take it seriously and they sent England Golden Whistle Webber to officiate the game.

On April 26, 2009, the 34th round of the English Premier League, the Old Trafford stadium was very lively on this day. It's full of Manchester United fans from all over the world, and every matchday is a festival for the fans. Of course, Old Trafford is known as the Theatre of Dreams. There are also a lot of visitors who come to see Manchester United play every matchday. Watch Jonk play.

Before the game started, the main stands at Old Trafford were almost full, and it was now a sea of red, with Manchester United fans holding high the team flag and various banners, shouting slogans and singing the team anthem, igniting and warming up the atmosphere of the stadium.

Ferguson announced the starting line-up and Giggs started the game, so Jonker did not wear the captain's armband.

After Alex Ferguson explained the tactical arrangements for the game again, there were five minutes left before the game was played, and the players were free to move around.

Jonk found Cristiano Ronaldo, and he patted Cristiano Ronaldo on the shoulder, much to the Portuguese's surprise, because of the current conflict, the relationship between the two is not as harmonious as before.

"Hey, Cristiano, this game, I think we should get rid of the irrelevant stuff, we need to join forces." Jonk said.

'I know what to do, and when it's time to pass, I'll pass it.' Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't have a good attitude.

"You didn't get what I meant." Jonk looked at Cristiano Ronaldo's eyes seriously, "I want to give Tottenham Hotspur a good look, I believe you think the same as me, they hurt me, you hurt too, isn't it time to recoup the interest?" So, for today's game, I need your help. ”

Cristiano Ronaldo tilted his head and smiled too, "Deal!" Hopefully this is a memorable game for Tottenham Hotspur. ”

At this time, the captain Giggs shouted, "It's almost time, let's get out!" Guys!! ”

Jonk and Cristiano Ronaldo both stood up, and the two of them gave a high-five, a crisp sound, and the others were surprised to see these two actually high-five, but they didn't have time to think about it, they were about to play.

When the players on both sides shook hands, Allen. Lennon said to Jonker, "It's nice to see you back on the pitch, my friend. However, we will try to win today's game. ”

Jonk could feel Alan Lennon's concern, and when he was seriously injured, the guy took Milner and the others to visit him in the hospital.

Of course, Aaron. When Lennon said something like that, Jonk didn't show weakness, "If you want to win, no way!" ”

Both laughed, let go of their hands, and shook hands with the next one.

The camera follows Jonck to see if he will shake Woodgate's hand.

The narrator was also yelling, "It's coming soon, it's going to shake hands with Woodgate, will they shake hands?" ”

"Oh, sure enough, they didn't shake hands!" The narrator shouted loudly, and they saw that Jonk had just shaken hands, and when it came to Woodgate, he directly withdrew his hand and crossed Woodgate.

And Woodgate didn't seem to have any intention of shaking hands with Jonker.

"Haha, this game, there was a lot of tension from the start, and we expected it to be a good game, of course, a good game, not a bad foul." Lineker said. (To be continued......)
