On July 15, since Lu Chenfeng spoke to Manchester United's two ceremonial midfielders, everything seems to have gone very smoothly.

Jose Mourinho appeared to have a long way in his subsequent contact with the two players, and soon confirmed some of their fundamental contracts.

Of course, this contract cannot be signed yet, and Manchester United must go through Real Madrid and first reach an agreement with Real Madrid before they can negotiate with the player in the final way.

Generally speaking, clubs across Europe have the right to decide whether a player stays or stays.

If the club doesn't let the player go, and the player is not for sale at the club, it will hardly lead to a signing.

But this more common constraint becomes very pediatric for top stars.

For these top stars, as long as they are in the team, they have to pay high salaries, and the financial pressure on the club will be very high.

In addition to this, there are all kinds of constraints.

For example, the pressure of public opinion, the pressure of fans on the boss and coach, and the guidance of fans on the player's personality.

Just imagine, if Modric tells Real Madrid now, I'm leaving.

If Real Madrid forcibly keeps him and falls out with the player, it will not only pay the player 300,000 euros a week for nothing.

The relationship between the top management and the coach and the player will also deteriorate, and the outside public opinion will also be very unfavorable to the player.

Fans feel that the player has betrayed him, and he will definitely make the former hero once a traitor on the Internet.

As a result, players are further and further away from the club and fans, and the possibility of reconciliation on the field is becoming less and less, and in the end, they will even be willing to retire directly, making the club suffer a loss that should not be beared.

In this case, if the top stars have their own minds, how dare the club stay?

After the regret, earning a very large transfer fee and then looking for a new successor in the transfer market is the only option.

Of course, Real Madrid, as the most successful club in the world in the 20th century, as one of the most well-established giants, will not have such worries on weekdays.

They knew they couldn't find a better place for their stars, especially as the club had just won the Champions League.

If you want to say that those fringe players have no place to go, then after all, it doesn't hurt to go if they go.

So.

When Jose Mourinho called the Real Madrid president on the night of July 14, the incredulous and furious voices from there were naturally right.

"Casemiro and Luka Modric?!"

"Are you sure?!"

"Jose Mourinho, you were also at Real Madrid for a while, when the club gave you the task of breaking Barcelona's dream team monopoly and you did it.

'I didn't achieve much in Europe, but I have to admit that you did a good job and it was a honeymoon period for us.

"Now, you've left for other clubs, but I don't think it's really necessary to do something like that, right?"

"Early contact with players is the most taboo point in football, you have been a coach for so many years, you don't even know this?"

“……”

Florentino said so much at once that Mourinho could almost guess how the spit was on the other end of the phone.

But he just smiled slightly and said loudly: "Florentino, in the matter of contacting players in advance, I think you have more experience than me." ”

"When did Real Madrid buy a young player from outside, and it followed the formal procedures with the club first?"

"You must know that in your own heart."

At this point, Mourinho paused, and then decided not to waste any more time and just talk.

"I don't think we have to say too much about this kind of ineffective issue."

"Just call us and let's talk about the transfer fees of the two players."

Suddenly there was a scolding from Florantino on the other end of the phone, and the chairman, who had been in a high position for a long time, was a rare gaffe this time, and the scolding was very ugly.

If these two Real Madrid midfielders are gone, Real Madrid will inevitably be stretched thin in the midfield position.

Although there are also two top players, Asensio and Kloss, if you have to count them again, only young players may remain.

The only good news is that this transfer offer is not too late, and it is still some time before the end of the transfer window, during which Real Madrid can still use the money to strengthen themselves.

If Mourinho had told him the news at the end of the transfer window, he would have collapsed.

'Casemiro 100 million euros, Modric 140 million.'

After a long silence, Florentino quoted a price.

"I think you're kidding, the market price of the two players isn't here at all, and if that's your attitude, I think we can talk about it next time."

It's not Mourinho who is in a hurry now, and after agreeing with two of these top stars, it's almost a foregone conclusion.

These two players will soon become the Galeries Lafayette must sell, otherwise Real Madrid will be demoralized in the new season, and there may be a dressing room conflict.

And once the sale time is a little late, and the money cannot be returned, then the plan to find a replacement in the transfer window will be a little difficult, and Real Madrid will be under great pressure.

"Casemiro is 60 million euros, Modric is 80 million euros."

Listening to the constant exhalation on the other end of the phone, Mourinho himself first said a price.

"No, Jose Mourinho, don't think it's a foregone conclusion, Real Madrid as a great club sometimes has more options than you think."

"When necessary, we are in a hurry, and we will take some emergency measures."

Lafayette was not to be outdone, and after thinking for a while, he quoted a price, "Casemiro 70 million euros, Modric 90 million euros, and a total transfer fee of 160 million." ”

"This is our last offer, if ......"

Before Lafayette could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Mourinho's crisp words with a little smile.

"Deal, the money will turn the club's finances around tomorrow, let the players and agents come to Manchester United to report, I wish you a wonderful new season."

Doodoo ......

With that, Mourinho hung up.

It is conceivable that Galeries Lafayette Florentino must still be in a state of confusion.

Originally, the two stars in the team were pried away without knowing it, and now a simple phone call has determined the price, and finally he thought that Mourinho would make a counteroffer, but he didn't expect that this was a price that Manchester United was very satisfied with, and directly agreed.

In just a few minutes, Florentino has experienced so many major events, and the distortion in his heart can be imagined.

…………

It's July 20th, and it's very close to the start of the new season.

On this day, the crowded Manchester United media room ushered in the first major event of the new season.

New Player Joining Ceremony.

Previously, three backfield players have already confirmed their signings, and they will all be present at Old Trafford today.

As for the rest of the players, Manchester United have not released any news yet, but it has been heard that Mourinho has won two of the members of the midfield.

But all this will be shown in front of you today.

You can imagine the popularity of the news that is about to be released.

After washing at two o'clock, Mourinho took Lu Chenfeng to the scene of the press conference.

As the man behind the signings of Casemiro and Luka Modric, Mourinho feels that Lu Chenfeng is qualified to stand here.

Soon, the unveiling ceremony of the three players of Umtiti, Vertonghen and Van Dijk began.

"Bang Bang ......"

They entered Old Trafford to a mountain of applause and showed off their skills in front of the fans and the media.

Lu Chenfeng stood aside and looked at the three players, and he was also looking forward to the new season.

Others may not know the trend of their future development, but he is very clear as a later generation.

Vertonghen, as the backbone of the Belgian national team's defense and Tottenham's later defensive thigh, has no doubt about his ability.

Playing a full-back is more than enough, definitely better than Valencia, who have already passed their prime, and will make one of Manchester United's wings extremely solid.

Umtiti, who was a hero of the French national team's 18-year World Cup triumph, will also get better and better in the coming years, gradually becoming a T0-level central defender.

Able to attack and defend, and a very good header when necessary.

As for the last one, Van Dijk, Lu Chenfeng felt that this was the last one to mention.

In the future, after going to the Reds Liverpool, his excellent performance gave him a name, the world's No. 1 central defender.

In a very competitive and difficult to distinguish between the best and the weakest centre-backs, there is a player who can be recognized as having this name and it is enough to prove that his defensive ability is a notch above the others.

The Manchester United backline will be a nightmare for all strikers in the new season, and a solid piece of the puzzle for Manchester United's great champions!

They also got the number two, number three, and number five, which represent the core of the defence.

After the unveiling ceremony, Mourinho returned to the press room with Morrowind.

At such a moment, Mourinho looked red and said very happily: "Lu Chenfeng, you come to announce this news to the media." ”

"Okay."

Lu Chenfeng was stunned for a moment and then nodded with a smile, nothing to be embarrassed about.

He turned his head to look at the pair of eyes that were very expectant below, and after a pause, he smiled: "Let's have two stalwarts in Manchester United's midfield for the new season." ”

"Two players who have come close to a club Grand Slam in their careers, Luka Modric, Casemiro."

“……”

Modric, with long blond hair, walked out in a suit and came to the middle of Lu Chenfeng and Mourinho with a smile on his face.

Casemiro then walked up behind with a smile.

The scene suddenly fell into a deathly silence, the air seemed to be frozen by something, and everyone's eyes just stared at the rostrum blankly, unable to say a word.

Who??

Luka Modric?

Casemiro?

The most admired midfielder of Real Madrid's championship ceremony, two at once?

"Hiss......"

"Hiss......"

After the daze, there was a sudden gasp at the scene.

This has been speculated before, but in their envision, Mourinho seems to be able to bring at most one of them.

This is the best-case scenario, and it's the case of adding the pie.

But now...... Two at once?!

Real Madrid can't play the new season?!

"Click, click, click."

Soon, a very dense camera sound sounded, and everyone quickly woke up to take a first-line photo of the two.

They also received the number 10 shirt and the number 6 shirt, with Luka Modric number 10.

Under the coercion of Malcom, Mourinho, and Lu Chenfeng, the two new signings stood in the middle, holding their jerseys to complete the shooting.

"Here we would like to thank the club's top scorer Lu Chenfeng for his two phone calls and persuaded them to come to Manchester United."

After listening to Mourinho's words, the scene was shocked again.

Everyone looked at Lu Chenfeng's expressions with some strangeness, it seems that this super shooter appeared here today, and it seems that it is not so surprising.

Two phone calls helped United bring the two ......

This is the father of Manchester United.

No, Manchester United directly gave him the position of sports director?!

Next, it's a normal series of joining ceremonies.

In front of tens of thousands of fans at Old Trafford, Luka Modric and Casemiro made their debuts here.

"Shet! Shet! It's Luka Modric and Casemiro! ”

"Is what I'm seeing real? What's going on? the groove. ”

"Damn Mourinho, damn Malcolm! It was definitely deliberately concealed from us before, and the news was not released, but it was just said that there would be two mysterious players joining our club! Damn it! ”

"Ahhh I'm so happy now. ”

"I'm really looking forward to the game against Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow, when the new signings can come on the pitch and beat each other up, it's just too strong!"

"Not to mention the solidity of the backline, Casemiro's interception and sweeping hardness in the midfield, coupled with Modric's ability to collimate the ball! Follow the cooperation of the morning breeze! Manchester United's attack will be even stronger than last season! ”

"I'm really going to cry, tell me it's just a dream."

“……”

The United fans in the stands erupted in a burst of shocked cheers, and then chatted in one piece, all expressing their excitement wantonly.

Yes, as some fans say.

It's really hard for them to imagine what level Manchester United will be in the new season!

That night, when the news of these two superstars joining Manchester United was released, public opinion on the Internet was also in an uproar.
