Two days passed.

As soon as the news of Ronaldo's return to Manchester United came out, it immediately detonated the entire football world.

Meanwhile, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo have reached a tripartite agreement.

After a year at Manchester United this season, the Portuguese will travel to Madrid, at which point United will also agree to release him, and Real Madrid will have to make an £80 million bid in the summer window next season, with the deal set to be done immediately.

If Real Madrid does not agree to buy, they must compensate both parties £30 million.

If Ronaldo repents, he will also need to compensate Real Madrid and Manchester United.

A transfer storm that shook the entire football world seems to have subsided.

It's just that some people are happy and some are sad.

...

The oversized cover created by the editor-in-chief of The Sun was taken down that night.

Replaced with "Manchester United's King Fights for Another Year!" The Red Devils are aiming for back-to-back titles in the new season! title.

Compared with Cristiano Ronaldo, who has almost won the Ballon d'Or this year, the rookie's brilliant performance in the warm-up match is definitely incomparable.

"I don't know what the new season will be like, but I'm going to give it my all to fight for my place."

"New teammates? I think he's too young to compare it to Cristiano. ”

After the game, Portuguese winger Nani said this in an interview with the media, and at the same time the media publicity during this time.

In Nani's eyes, Levi's arrival is a direct threat to his future at Manchester United.

He believes that after Ronaldo's return, he and Levi will face competition for playing time, and he was also squeezed out of the starting list by Levi in the friendly match.

Some time ago, the media has been promoting the remarks that this kid can replace Ronaldo.

Whether a team is mixed or not depends not only on the manager, but also on the support of the big brother in the team.

When they first arrived in Manchester, Nani and Anderson, who had no house to live in, lived in Cristiano Ronaldo's house for a while, and he thought he was defending the reputation of his eldest brother.

As for Levi, he saw no competition, or rather, no Nani.

He's thinking about how to compete with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Every morning, he always wakes up early and trains at Carrington.

...

Levi knocked on the door of Ferguson's office.

Ferguson, sitting behind a thick oak desk, waved his hand and motioned for Levi to sit down first.

It was a bright room, with large shuttered glass windows on both sides of the corner, a desk with all kinds of tactical reports, a few books and magazines in the corner, and a variety of photographs on the wall to Levi's left.

He knew some of them, like David Beckham.

"I heard that you had some conflicts with Nani and Manucho?"

After a long time, Ferguson spoke.

"Yes."

Levi nodded in acknowledgement, then added, "Just in self-defense." ”

Ferguson's forehead support is indeed justified defense in nature, but the result is somewhat ...

After most of the players left the dressing room, Nani and Manuccio provoked Levi, and a physical altercation ensued.

With one against two, Manucho didn't suffer too much with the big man of 190, but the skinny Nani received a lot of punches on his face.

"I know, Neville told me."

Ferguson looked at Levi, he already knew what was going on.

Some time ago, the media opinion has put Levi on the cusp, and after the friendly match against Espanyol, Mendes successfully bit a lucrative contract for Levi from Manchester United.

With a weekly salary of £60,000 a week, this puts him directly in the main salary line-up, and according to the Premier League's 52-week salary cycle, his annual salary before tax will reach 3.12 million pounds.

There is a generous goal and championship bonus, and as long as Levi scores a certain number of goals for Manchester United, his salary will increase by a certain percentage at the end of each season, and this increase will be negotiated by both parties.

It's largely a bet on the player's future.

It also represents the recognition of Levi's talent.

This caused quite a stir in the Manchester United dressing room, and even the main players disagreed, not to mention what the young players thought of Levi.

Ferguson had to make a reasonable move.

"I'm happy with your performance these days."

After a long time, Ferguson spoke slowly, as if to affirm Levy's performance, and to a certain extent express support for him.

"But the club has its rules and penalties are necessary."

Levi nodded in approval, and then listened carefully to what was next.

'With your current performance, you're good enough to be a regular in the team, but if you want to be a regular player, you have to perform better than the other players.

"I know." Levi smiled.

"Since I dare to join this team, I am not afraid to compete with anyone for a position"

Nodding approvingly, Ferguson could see the player's ambitions.

"Including Cristiano." Levi continued.

Ferguson's eyes lit up.

It's a good thing for young people to be vigorous and energetic.

But that's too much.

He's confident on the pitch and the way he handles the ball is very reasonable, but with such a talented player you have to build a game around him, give him the right to fire and get his team-mates to play with his rhythm.

There is more than one player who can match such tactics, and Manchester United is currently more than one.

In direct competition with Ronaldo, it is not Levi's turn at the moment.

Wayne Rooney is number one.

Although in the future life, the achievements of the two people are obviously one notch worse, but it is more of Rooney's own problems, alcoholism, and abuse - especially the one that is ripe.

In terms of talent, Lu Xiaopang is also top-notch.

Ferguson's previous tactics were almost all based on Cristiano Ronaldo, and Rooney's tactical status was correspondingly lower.

Since the red card incident in 2006, Ronaldo's increasingly unfriendly relationship with Rooney has been a headache for Ferguson.

Now another thorn is involved.

This is not good for Manchester United in the new season.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney have been fighting for so long, but they each have their own honors, and the dressing room has their own supporters.

How do you play with people as a newcomer.

...

Ferguson looked at the criss-crossed figures on the field and fell into deep thought.

'We've got too many talented players up front. He said slowly.

Mike Fallan glanced at Ferguson and didn't see a look of joy on the latter's face.

Manchester United will have the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Carlos Tevez, Dimitar Berbatov, Wayne Rooney, Nani, Manuccio, Campbell, Tosic and Levy in the midfield.

Plus attacking midfielders such as Ryan Giggs, Park Ji-sung, etc.

Overcrowding turns into a blissful annoyance.

In the football world, there are only a few giants who can make such an exclamation of Versailles, except for Manchester United.

On the pitch, Levi's performance is still very consistent, and his handling of the ball on the pitch is becoming more and more in line with Manchester United's tactics.

"Originally, I was already hesitating whether to let Cristiano go, give Levi a chance, and straighten this kid as the main force."

'But he hasn't played in the Premier League yet, he lacks experience in the top flight, he doesn't have a good record.

"After Cristiano voluntarily announced his return, it was almost impossible."

"The dressing room, the media, the hierarchy, the fans, there's too much stakes involved, and I wouldn't dare make such a bet in this pivotal year."

Ferguson sighed and continued.

'It's too risky and if he gets injured in the league and the Champions League, makes mistakes and loses himself, that's not acceptable.'

It's been a pivotal year and Ferguson is confident and wants to try a great goal.

That's the reigning European Cup.

In order to achieve this goal, he still can't let Cristiano Ronaldo go.

Such a heavy task is to be handed over to the best player in the world who has already fulfilled his talent, or to an eighteen-year-old child with a promising future.

I believe that anyone will choose the former.

Even, it doesn't make up an option.

Mike Fallon thought for a moment and said:

"I think after a year or two of training, if we cash in on our talent, Levi will most likely become our new core player."

Ferguson thought for a moment, was silent for a moment, and another speeding shadow suddenly appeared in his mind.

"How many strikers can match Michael Irving? He's simply the best player. ”

"But after only one year of rotation at Real Madrid, it became like two people."

Ferguson made a decision, one he had been thinking about for two days.

...

"Rent Levi out!" Ferguson said.

Mike Fallon looked at the old coach in surprise and thought he had made a very crazy decision.

'Cristiano will only be in Manchester for another year, but Levi has signed us on a five-year contract and he's the embryo of a top player.

'He can't deal with the high intensity of the game while facing the pressure of public opinion and possible clashes in the dressing room.

'He's got quality and ambition and he should use his talent on a more relaxed platform and I want to loan him out to a mid-table team and with his quality he will soon become a core player, which is the best exercise for him.'

Mike Fallan thinks it's difficult, even if you don't talk about the loan fee.

Levi's salary is not low.

And those who can afford it are often Manchester United's direct rivals.

To rent him out, the club has to be able to afford it.

Of course, the first time you need to find a suitable target is from the team that Manchester has contacted.

For example, Aston Villa, West Bronovich, Everton, West Ham United...

Other clubs were still thinking about it, and West Bronovic immediately refused.

They have had a recent financial crisis, and they are now arguing with Charlton Athletic for the signing of Huaguo player Zheng Zhi, and there is no money.

While Ferguson was thinking about it, news of Manchester United's intention to send a new star on loan had already been circulated in the media.

The first to show strong interest was Arsenal again.

"There's no way I'm going to put the future of Manchester United in the hands of a title rival!"

Ferguson flatly refused.

"And Arsene Wenger's players, there are too many injuries."

The second team to show interest was Manchester United's friendly opponents for some time.

After taking on League One newcomers Peterborough on London Road on 5 August, Manchester United will take on their final pre-season opponents Juventus at Old Trafford on 7 August.

The Serie A giants are not short of this money, and they readily promise to pay their wages in full and give a suitable loan fee.

After Jose Mourinho took charge of Inter, every Serie A club felt the pressure.

Inter Milan and Manchester United are seen as the strongest contenders for the Champions League this season.

Juventus boss Claudio Ranieri is interested in signing a talented new talent.

'Juventus are likely to be our Champions League rivals.'

Ferguson hesitated.

It is, a club familiar to Alex Ferguson, who has made a loan request.

"Spaniards? It's a good fit, it's not a league opponent, the team is okay, and they can't play in the Champions League, but can they afford it? ”

David Gill says:

"A Chinese company called Huixing bought 30 percent of the shares of Espanyol this summer."

"And this lend-lease. Seen as an investment, they want to return to European competition this year. ”

In this year of financial crisis, when many enterprises around the world are in difficulty, the impact on Chinese enterprises is much smaller.

Six years later, the company acquired a stake and the following year took full control of the Spaniards.

But in this parallel world, in order to build momentum for the listing a year later, the company that has been listed for 10 years has advanced the layout of the sports sector.

At this time, the Spaniards were also troubled by debt, and they immediately hit it off.

...

A thin, dark-eyed elderly man sits in his home in Barcelona and motions for his caregiver to cram a video into the TV.

With a smile on his face, he waited meaningfully for the video to play.

Two days ago, the current Dutch coach Van Marwijk excitedly told him that the Dutch team had a potential call-up with a very similar technique to him, and sent him a videotape.

The tape began to play, and Cruyff rested his chin on the palm of his hand, watching the footage with a few fingers gently placed in front of his nose.

After his health deteriorated, he quit smoking, a habit he has had for years.

The pre-match ceremony is stinky and long, why should I watch Manchester United bid farewell to a junior?

Cruyff soon lost interest.

Barcelona were knocked out by Manchester United in the semi-finals last year and he has little affection for the Red Devils at the moment.

Just a little joke about Van Marwijk to make him happy, as the soul of Dutch football, the new Dutch coach needs his support.

Hmph, clumsy.

The tsundere and old-fashioned old man thought to himself.

Number 14, still Asian? Interesting.

Looking at it, Cruyff vaguely felt as if he had seen this child somewhere, and he would go to La Masia from time to time every year to visit the academy players of all ages.

After all, the well-known academy known as the "football quarry" was created by him.

At the beginning of the game, Cruyff picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip slowly, and looked up.

Ahem, what's the situation?

Manchester United scored at the speed of light and the Asian youngster was already starting to celebrate.

He quickly picked up the remote control board and rewinded the screen, and witnessed the whole goal, which successfully piqued his interest.

"Let me see what you're going to do with this ball?"

"Yes, that's right. I guess you're going to pass the ball to Giggs, haha. ”

"It's an opportunity for confident people to shoot into the far corner! Don't pass it on to that ugly Argentine..."

The old man's attention became more and more focused, and watching the video became a game of guess what you would do.

After repeated guesses, his mood was getting better and better.

The forty-five minutes of the game was quickly over, but he suddenly had a feeling of loss.

The way the ball is handled, the way it runs... He had the feeling of watching footage of his game when he was younger.

But the boy was taller than him, and stronger than him.

He suddenly recalled the friendly that Barcelona played in Scotland some time ago, and as a staunch supporter of Pep Guardiola's ascension, he did not pay much attention to the draw.

Just asked about Messi's performance, and he only cared about this.

Barcelona then did exactly as he expected, beating Dundee United 5-1 in Scotland the following day, Fiorentina 3-1 on 31 July and Guadalajara 5-2 in Mexico on 4 August.

But the memories that had been forgotten for the moment suddenly came flooding back.

Cruyff's face grew more and more gloomy.

"Damn Laporta, how dare he?"

It's a shame to let go of another young 'self'.

"How dare you let go of such an excellent genius!"

Fortunately, it was not given to a sworn enemy team like Real Madrid, and Manchester United was still within Cruyff's acceptance range.

Otherwise, Cruyff would have torn Laporta with his hands.
