Chapter 0698, Farewell Banquet
At noon on January 31, 2019, Xia Xing hosted a dinner for several Manchester United teammates at home.
De Gea, Valencia, Ashley Young, Smalling, Nemanja Matic, Herrera, Fellaini.
Seven club teammates.
This small area of the dinner did not call too many people.
And they all have one special thing in common.
He had a good personal relationship with Fellaini.
It is worth mentioning that with the exception of Herrera's all-round attributes in midfield, everyone else is the team's defender.
Because of the experience of fighting together, they have a deep friendship with Fellaini.
The Belgian big man is not particularly talented, but he has earned the respect of his teammates with his hard-working professional attitude, down-to-earth style of play and fighting spirit.
Especially Matic and Smalling, who are partnered with him, have a bad relationship with him.
He was an important part of United's six-time triumph triumph.
But even so, he is leaving today.
Early tomorrow morning, he will fly to faraway Asia to officially move to the Chinese Super League club.
Today's meal is Xia Xing, as the captain and as a friend, officially seeing him off.
After training a few days ago, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer gave Fellaini a brief farewell ceremony in the dressing room.
That was done on behalf of the club and thanks to him for making a huge contribution to the club.
But speaking of which, the relationship between the two is average.
After all, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the new manager and has no special feelings for a player who has only played a moon under him.
And Fellaini, who has always been a man of few words, also said goodbye to everyone very formally.
One ceremony is over.
And today, it's not a business bureau, it's a friend bureau.
Xia Xing invited Fellaini's good brothers, and there were no other unfamiliar people.
And today, Xia Xing also rarely served some beer and red wine to everyone.
Seeing the wine on the table, Herrera smiled, and he patted Xia Xing on the shoulder: "This is the brother!" It's the brothers who do bad things together, hahahaha! ”
Everyone laughed.
Because after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came to Manchester United, he also imposed a ban on alcohol, especially during this period of intensive competition, and strictly controlled drinking.
And now, Xia Xing, as the captain of the team, "knows the law and breaks the law", and everyone finds it very interesting.
Hearing Herrera's words, Xia Xing pointed to Valencia and Ashley Young beside him: "This is a collective decision made by the Manchester United Players' Committee, if Solskjaer knows, you can't just clean me up, you must even count you!" ”
"Hahahaha! When the time comes, it will be interesting to ban all three of us! Ashley Young smirked.
"Don't make a fuss, it's okay to ban you two, Xia is absolutely impossible," Smalling shook his head, "Now if Manchester United doesn't have Xia, then don't think about winning!" ”
Valencia: "What you said hurts people......"
"Hahahaha!"
Although the bottle had just been opened, the crowd was already laughing.
De Gea reminded everyone: "Today's theme seems to be a farewell, right? Why is it so joyful? It's as if you're looking forward to Marouan's speed. ”
Fellaini: "I can't eat, I can't drink......"
"Hahahaha!" Herrera smiled and patted Fellaini on the shoulder, "Man, don't worry, in a few months, I'll be in a flash, let these guys laugh." ”
Xia Xing prepared a table of dishes early and served them. The color, flavor and flavor are all delicious.
The bottle of wine is opened, and everyone drinks happily.
I haven't drunk in a long time, and after a little drink, everyone's face is drunk.
De Gea looked regretful: "Marouan, why do you want to transfer away?" Isn't it good to stay here? Aren't you happy playing with us? ”
Fellaini shook his head slightly: "Of course not, I love being with you." Seriously, the last few seasons at Manchester United have been my happiest days. But there is no such thing as a feast, I'm 31 years old, and my contract expires next year, and the club has no plans to renew it. My agent talked to them, and they made it clear that if they wanted to renew their contract, they would have to accept a big pay cut, so I had to find a way out of the way in advance. ”
“Fxxk!” Smalling scolded, "Our group of heroes have to take a salary cut if they renew their contracts, and those boys who are bastard will have a special salary increase if they renew their contracts?" This group of management is SB! ”
Herrera snorted, "Who makes the family be valued by the club, we can't." Fellaini is still thoughtful, thinking about the future in advance, saving himself like me, and now I don't know where to play next season. ”
Xia Xing looked at him seriously: "Man, I really hope you can stay, I proposed to Solskjaer a few days ago about your contract renewal, and he said that he would go to the management to discuss, and he will do his best to let you get a good contract renewal." ”
Herrera pursed her lips and snorted, "Thank you, brother, but I don't need to!" He's already decided to leave Manchester United, and although I can't bear to let you guys, I really don't want to talk to the SB in the management about renewing his contract. And I said I don't know where to play next season, I just didn't choose it well, and I want more teams for me, huh! ”
Fellaini suddenly came to his senses: "If you don't choose well, you can go to Huaguo with me!" In a few days, I will suggest to the new owner and sign you too! ”
Herrera waved his hand: "Forget it, I still want to play in the big five leagues for a while, I think I'm okay." Actually, you have no problem, I really don't know why you went to retire so early. ”
Fellaini touched his nose: "What, the key is that they give so much......"
"Hahahaha! You money-grubbing fellow! ”
"Really! Don't believe it! They give super super much! I can't control my signature! ”
"Hahahaha!"
Although it was a parting banquet, there was no sadness, and everyone was very relaxed.
In fact, these people are all old rivers and lakes, even if they are young Xia Xing, they have also experienced several transfer experiences, not to mention this group of veterans who are over thirty years old.
In the football industry, player transfers are a common thing, even if it is not uncommon to go to a mortal enemy, and everyone looks at it very calmly.
Staggered, drinking and talking.
It's still time to separate.
The reason why the meal was held at noon was because Fellaini had some personal matters to attend to in the evening.
Tomorrow morning I flew away and didn't go to the club anymore.
If you don't rush in time, you can't send the plane.
So now, it's time to say goodbye.
David De Gea: "Marouan, I'm super down-to-earth with you in front of me, you're one of the best defensive players I've ever worked with! ”
Nemanja Matic: "Man, you're the best defensive midfielder I've ever partnered with, I don't have one! ”
Herrera: "Good development, our brothers who left Manchester United are also good!" ”
Smalling: "Goodbye brother! I'm going to miss you! ”
Valencia: "Man, I wish you eternal health, a few more years of play, and a few great titles in Asia!" ”
Ashley Young: "Come back often when you have time!" When the time comes, we will also go to Huaguo to see you! ”
Xia Xing: "I miss the days of working with you very much, your professional attitude and fighting spirit are my role model!" I wish you a bright future and all the best in the future! (End of chapter)
