Chapter 61: Ferguson can't sit still
After talking to Mendes on the phone, the two of them can be considered to have established Levi's career plan for the next few years.
Levi has made it clear that he will stay in the Premier League next season, and at this stage, the best team in the Premier League is Manchester United.
Manchester United are not short of money.
In the next few years, the competitiveness of multiple lines can be guaranteed.
What's more, while La Liga is in full swing in the next few years, the future belongs to the Premier League.
Even if you don't think about these, Ferguson insisted on signing Levi at the beginning, and this incense still has to be remembered.
After clarifying his position with Mendes, the rest was left to the agent to negotiate.
Levi completed basic physical training in the hotel gym, and the whole person's physical function was restored.
He then went to the hotel for breakfast.
During the meal, Levi noticed a young man wearing sunglasses not far away.
Read the newspaper while sipping coffee at a leisurely pace.
The man noticed him too, and glanced through the edge of the newspaper.
There were still a few people who looked like his bodyguards looking at each other nearby.
Levi raised his coffee cup at the man and said hello.
"If I'm not mistaken, you were the one who showed off at the Bernabeu yesterday."
The man smiled, gently took off his sunglasses, walked over and sat down across from Levi, and stretched out his hand.
"Rafael Nadal?"
"You know me?"
The young Hispanic man smiled, but was not surprised.
"How could I not know the world's No. 1 tennis player."
Nadal beat Federer at both the French Open and Wimbledon this year, and defeated Gonzalez to win gold at the Olympics.
In August, he made his debut in the world
Nadal recently stayed in Madrid to play in the upcoming Madrid Masters.
His first impression of Levi was good, and the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Nadal invited Levi to have time to watch the match.
After returning to the room.
Maraire had woken up, sitting on the bed seemingly lazily, barely covered by the quilt, and a sense of anticipation on her face.
As she left the room, Levi ordered her breakfast.
"I'm sweaty, I'm going to take a shower first."
Levi didn't want to maintain a stable relationship.
If you don't build a house, it won't collapse, and Levi's coping strategy is:
I was in ruins.
People will accuse Beckham, who has cheated four times, of being a scumbag, but few will accuse Maradona and Ronaldo.
Not to mention Chamberlain in basketball, and Levi is much more disciplined than them.
"Marlena, I have some things to do next, and I think we'll have to separate for a while."
After taking a shower, Levi walked out of the room, gently grabbed Marlena's arm, and restrained the girl who had been attached.
"So, what are we now?" A look of disappointment flashed in Malena's eyes.
Before last night, the two of them had treated each other as prey.
Marlena once asked Levi to call her sister out of teasing, but after a fierce battle.
She was completely defeated, and in the second half of the night, Levi grew a generation out of thin air.
"Friend, you also said we were friends, didn't you?"
Marena's purpose was to completely charm Levi, so that Levi would take the initiative to fall under her pomegranate skirt, as she had said before.
But I didn't expect Li Wei to be anti-guest-oriented.
???
Levi's tone was gentle and seductive.
"Besides, you're a good girl."
"And I'm a dumb guy with only football in my head."
"I wake up early every day to train, come back late, fly to competitions and I don't want you to be left out here."
Marlena glared, 'I don't mind' yet.
Levi put his finger to her mouth.
"Shh~ I don't want to delay you, you deserve better."
When Levi walked out of the hotel and got into the car arranged by Mendez, a short but unforgettable romance came to an end.
...
Ferguson arrived in Madrid.
Living in Manchester, where the weather is cold and humid for a long time, the Spanish sun makes him feel a little dazzling.
Why did Levi sign a long-term contract with Manchester United, and Ferguson had to rush over in such a hurry.
Mainly due to the fact that Levy's contract was signed a few days after that friendly match against Espanyol.
After fully affirming Levy's potential, Manchester United immediately met the salary of 60,000 yuan a week, but Mendes sat on the ground and demanded a higher salary level, and finally settled the clause of a performance-based salary increase every season under a stalemate.
At the same time, Mendes demanded a liquidated damages clause of 60 million pounds.
It was a huge sum of money, and United did not refuse at the time.
There are few liquidated damages clauses in Premier League player contracts unless requested by both parties.
But for now, Ferguson would rather not have this huge sum of money, otherwise it will be like a knife to the neck of Manchester United at any moment.
He and Mendes had made an appointment to negotiate Levi's future treatment in the afternoon, which was actually a two-way negotiation.
Mendes naturally wants to get the most out of his players, and Ferguson doesn't want the opposition to be too open-mouthed.
And the heavens increased Levi's chips again.
This morning, Europe's best 11 teams for September, voted by the European Federation of Football and Sports Magazines (ESM) member media, were revealed.
La Liga and Serie A players have been spotted by the media for their impressive performances this month, with five players in La Liga, four in Serie A and only one in the Bundesliga and Premier League in the best 11.
Out of a total of 10 media submissions, Lazio's Mohammad Salat and Chelsea's Bosingwa both received seven.
Inter Milan's McCone and Napoli's Hamsik received the fewest votes, both with three votes.
Levi, on the other hand, was selected for the best team selected by ten media outlets at the same time, and received ten votes.
ESM's September Team of the Year (343) is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Diego López (La Liga, Villarreal, 4 votes)
Defenders: Panucci (Serie A, Roma, 4 votes), McCone (Serie A, Inter Milan, 3 votes), Bosingwa (Premier League, Chelsea, 7 votes)
Midfielders: Ergo (Bundesliga, Bremen, 4 votes), Van der Vaart (La Liga, Real Madrid, 6 votes), Hamsik (Serie A, Napoli, 3 votes), Zarate (Serie A, Lazio, 7 votes)
Forwards: Levi (La Liga, Espanyol, 10 votes), Villa (La Liga, Valencia, 4 votes), Sergio Aguero (La Liga, Atletico Madrid, 5 votes)
At the start of the new European season, each member of the ESM will submit a monthly report of the 11 best European players of the month selected by the editorial team, and finally the ESM will aggregate the voting results, and the player with the most votes in each position will be selected as the best 11 of the month.
After the Champions Cup final, the results of the previous months are aggregated and the players with the most monthly finishes are gathered together to select the best 11-man team of the European season.
Such a selection also reveals a message about how strong La Liga is in the new season.
The strikers are all La Liga players, and the whole is an all-Western class.
This is still when Messi, Eto'o and others are not on the list.
Ferguson is vaguely aware that not only Manchester United, but perhaps the entire Premier League will live under the pressure of La Liga in the next few years.
At the same time, the pressure is more pronounced from Chelsea and the club across the wall from him.
Manchester City, which was originally searched, was bought by Mansour this year, and it was as if money was drilled out of the ground to buy people.
As long as you really want to buy, you have to get it even if it is a premium.
And in order to cope with such a situation, he must leave the young genius behind.
But I didn't expect the two to just meet.
Ferguson, who originally had a changed impression of Mendes because he sent Levi, didn't take long to blow up.
