The most low-key superstar

Chapter 311

Nickell is living in dire straits in BJ, and European football is in dire straits.

The one issue that most concerns Nickell is the Ferguson-Glazer fight, which ended with a sweeping victory for Ferguson and reopened negotiations for a new contract for Nickell.

At the same time, the major media also broke out the crazy news that many clubs wanted to buy Nickel, especially the blank check of the Manchester City team caused an uproar.

Ferguson had to stand up and say, "I have indeed received offers from many clubs interested in my players, including Nickel, but you have to know the fact that Manchester United has no history of becoming a player supermarket. We're not going to sell our fundamental core, Nickel's future is at Old Trafford."

Manchester United rejected all offers for Nickel.

Ferguson's speech was very tough, which at least reduced the rumors of Nickell's transfer for the time being. However, Rooney's contract negotiations were very difficult, and Nickell's contract negotiations were not going smoothly.

After an arduous tug-of-war, Rooney and Nicole finally reached an agreement with the club. The two sides agreed to jointly announce the new contract on July 7.

Now, Rooney, who has got a big contract, is worried about the number of goals he has scored, while Glazer is worried about his pocketbook.

Rooney's income has risen sharply, and it is obviously not an isolated case. Nicole also received a big contract with him. His weekly salary has risen to 16 pounds. The five-year period has a liquidated damages of up to 5000 million pounds.

The renewal of other Manchester United players, even if the income is difficult to match that of Nickel and Rooney, a sharp increase is inevitable.Another condition for keeping Nickell and Rooney is that Manchester United buy strong support in the transfer market.

In the 08/09 season, Manchester United's players' salary ratio was controlled within 50% of turnover, which was the best among European giants. As soon as they were impacted by the new contracts of Nickell and Rooney, the salary ratio would probably rise in a straight line.

In addition, the Manchester United club has a debt of as much as 8 million pounds, and the loss in the last fiscal year reached a record 8360 million pounds. It is good news to retain the core players, but if Glazer bleeds, it will only make Manchester United The economic situation is deteriorating.

However, there have long been voices that Rooney's contribution does not match the high salary. Some people have speculated whether Glazer will sell the little fat man for cash like he sold Ronaldo?
However, some analysts pointed out, 'In any case, it is hardly a wise choice for Rooney to leave Manchester United.After all, only in Manchester United, he is a well-deserved top striker. However, if Rooney joins Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​then his starlight will only be "disappeared by everyone", and he is likely to repeat the mistakes of Owen and Henry. Going to Manchester City or Chelsea is not necessarily the boss of the team. Manchester City has more and more stars, as strong as David Silva can only start from the bench, and Chelsea's Drogba seems to be still Can be crazy for a few years.

It's true that Manchester United is living a hard life. Glazer used Manchester United's income to pay off debts and transferred the family's debts to Manchester United. There will also be a day when it can't support it, or it will be forcibly changed hands by the bank like Liverpool, or sold to other rich people.

Unlike Liverpool, which is limited by stadium capacity and urban consumption power, Manchester United is almost one of the most profitable clubs in the world, and Old Trafford's gold-absorbing speed is unparalleled.No matter what mishaps they encounter, as long as the loan relationship with the bank is sorted out, the Manchester United team can quickly regroup.

Therefore, although Sir Alex Ferguson's victory this time is hard to say about the future of Manchester United, the Red Devils will definitely not experience a big decline in the next few seasons.

For Ferguson, after Nickell and Rooney are settled, he can start preparing for next season, and the first thing to do is cleaning.

This time, except Tevez who left resolutely, the others who left were players who had almost no chance to play last season. Therefore, basically the basic skeleton of Manchester United is still there. What they are eager to introduce now is attacking power. Relying on Rooney and Berbatov is obviously not enough, so the first introduction is the striker.

Newcastle's relegation was shocking. Therefore, Newcastle was the first to be divided up. Manchester United's harvest is the old golden boy Michael Owen. Although he is old, his reputation is still there. For Manchester United, this is a gamble , if you are lucky, Irving will be a good rotation player. If Irving's body is still so fragile, then Manchester United will bear another big burden.

In addition, the arrival of Mamo Bilem Diouf may not improve Manchester United's attack power problem, but at least it is an investment for the future.

Just when Nicole was already preparing to return to the UK, Manchester United announced a fairly heavy acquisition. Ferguson announced that Manchester United would use 1700 million pounds from Wigan Athletic to acquire the winger Valencia, who had performed amazingly last season. , It is finally an important part of the personnel crisis on the wing of the Manchester United team.

Last season, because of Nani's immaturity and Giggs' aging, Manchester United had to use more conservative tactics in most games, and strengthening the wing is also an important plan of Ferguson.

Valencia's skills and speed are important skills for him to gain a foothold in the Premier League. His performance at Wigan Athletic last season made many people covet this young winger. The background touched Valencia.

Facts have proved that Nani seems to be more suitable for the left, but because of the lack of personnel on the right, Nani has to stay on the right more often, and now the arrival of Valencia will greatly help Manchester United balance the two wings attack.

Manchester United does not need to make any major adjustments on the back line and central defender position. Ferdinand and Vidic will be the gates of Manchester United's defense in the next few seasons. O'Shea's rapid progress and Brown's growing stability. At the golden age, Rafael and Fabio have made significant progress, giving Manchester United a steel defense that any team would envy.

After the midfield led by Nicole filled the weakest link, Carrick, Fletcher, Anderson, Valencia, Nani, Giggs, Park Ji-sung, Hargreaves' injury made Manchester United The midfielder is strong and strong enough to make the opponent bow down.

The most worrying thing is the striker. Tevez's departure makes people have to doubt Manchester United's offensive ability. Diouf's uncertainty and Welbeck's difficult task are all worrying.

In addition, apart from Van der Sar's old age, Giggs may be able to maintain a high level for a period of time, and Scholes and Neville more often maintain the harmony in the dressing room.

On July 7th, after a month-long family life in BJ's family, the Nicole family finally returned to England. Two days later, they will start gathering. Get ready for the new season.

On the 14th, the Manchester United team began to assemble. Everyone arrived on time and no one was late. Of course, there was no training task on the first day. Their main task was to check the body. The club must grasp the physical condition of the players after returning from the holiday. During the holidays, I paid great attention to my body and didn't indulge myself. As usual, I became one of the best in the team. Surprisingly, the rookies Valencia and Owen, their bodies are also very good, especially the "glass man". Irving, who is known as the No. [-] player, is in good physical condition, which surprised everyone.

On the 15th, the Manchester United team held a press conference. At the press conference, Nicole and Rooney announced the signing of a new five-year contract with the club. In addition, newcomers such as Owen and Valencia also met with the media. .

At the press conference, Ferguson also announced the training plan for this season on behalf of the team. After the trip to Asia in 2007, Manchester United will open the Asian training camp again this year and arrange four games. Hangzhou, China, will have a warm-up match with Hangzhou Greentown.

Although this news has already been moved in Asia, it is also the first official announcement of the Manchester United club, especially if the words come from Ferguson's mouth, there will be no problem.

This ten-day training plan, in the eyes of the reporters, is just a money-making trip, 10 days, four games, and a long distance. It seems that Manchester United is really short of money, and they have completely ignored the impact on pre-season training. Effect.

Nichol also knows that this so-called training plan is a show that is not worth the candle. It will not have any training effect at all. Instead, it will consume a lot of physical strength of the players, which will greatly affect the physical reserves before the season. and tactical exercises.

But Ferguson can't help it. This is also a compromise condition between him and the club owner. After all, Glazer is the owner, and Ferguson can't do too much.

On the spot, a Chinese reporter held up the camera, "Sir Ferguson, can you say a few words to the Chinese fans in front of the TV?" After the reporter finished speaking, Nichol felt uncomfortable.

Ferguson did not refuse this request. He also tidied up his clothes carefully and sat upright, "We are very much looking forward to going to the Far East for a summer trip again. Seeing why Manchester United is such a fascination for supporters in Asia. It’s sure to be an exciting journey and all the players are eager to be part of it and I’m looking forward to seeing you all when the time comes.”

In order to take care of the emotions of fans from the other three countries, Ferguson did not refer to Hangzhou alone, but said in a more general way.

Immediately afterwards, the reporter pointed the camera at Nicole, "Nicole, we heard that you spent your vacation in China. This trip to China must be very pleasant. Let's say hello to fans and friends."

Although he was reluctant, Nicole still decided to support him, "Hi, fans and friends in China, hello, I'm Nicole, I'm very happy to come to China, and I hope to bring you happy football."

After the press conference, these new players went to Old Trafford to meet thousands of fans who had heard the news.

Then, Ferguson led everyone to gather and announced that tomorrow he will take the club's chartered flight to start a training trip in Asia.

Nicole, who had just returned from China, set foot on the plane to Asia again.
