Chapter 314 Changes in Manchester United

Shortly after Jiang Feng returned to Shicheng, he received several messages from Manchester United, namely the departure of two people and the departure of two people.

Ronaldo eventually left Manchester United. In the competition between Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Chelsea and Arsenal, the Galaxy battleships ended up laughing.

Although Abramovich's Chelsea and Mansour's Arsenal are not cheaper than Real Madrid, and even slightly higher than Real Madrid, considering the players' personal wishes and Ferguson himself does not want to sell a player like Ronaldo to his direct competitors, Real Madrid took away the Brazilians. For this reason, they spent 60 million pounds, which is about 90 million US dollars and 69 million euros, which set a new transfer record.

Florentino was furious this time because the Galaxy battleship he built had been poor in the past two years, especially in the past 2004-05 season, not only was he eliminated the Champions League early, but he was also suppressed by his arch rival Barcelona in the league. Although he just won the Real Madrid presidential election in 2004, if Real Madrid's record does not improve in the next season, he will be unable to withstand the pressure from fans and clubs, and resigning himself will be the best choice.

Therefore, this summer, Florentino prepared more than 100 million euros of funds to transfer, acquire superstars in a large scale, and carry out his superstar strategy to the end.

And Ronaldo is Real Madrid's first goal.

The ability to poach its leading stars from Manchester United makes Real Madrid and Florentino feel very good about themselves. Barcelona is Real Madrid's natural enemy, but in the past decade, it is Manchester United that really poses a fatal threat to Real Madrid's global position. Especially in the past season, Manchester United successfully defended the Champions League, which made Real Madrid feel a huge threat. Therefore, they have put in all their efforts to poach Manchester United's corners and ensure that their status as the most successful football club in the world is not threatened.

They succeeded, first poaching Manchester United's former No. 1 star Beckham two years ago, and then poaching Manchester United's current No. 1 star Ronaldinho this year. Although Ronaldinho is not the player with the most goals in Manchester United, his importance to Manchester United is as long as he is not a ball blind, otherwise he will not be able to win three top player personal awards last winter.

Originally, Real Madrid had no hope for poaching Ronaldinho, because Manchester United is Jiang Feng's team now, and Jiang Feng has a net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars. He is the person who is the most money-deficient in the world. Manchester United is the most profitable team in the world. Under such circumstances, it is even more difficult to poach their leading stars than to pull out their teeth.

However, to everyone's surprise, Real Madrid finally succeeded.

This not only surprised Real Madrid people, but also the supporters of other teams were also very surprised. Of course, the most surprising thing was the supporters of Manchester United. They couldn't figure out why Manchester United sold Ronaldinho. He was only 25 years old, and it was the best time in his career. Why did he sell him at this time?

For this reason, many Manchester United fans went to Old Trafford and Carrington training base to protest. However, at this time, Manchester United players were not in Old Trafford or Carrington training base. They were training at the exclusive training base on Mallorca Island on the Mediterranean.

Ronaldinho is not the only player to leave Manchester United, and Robben later chose to leave.

During his two years at Manchester United, he has been only a substitute for Giggs. Although because Manchester United can play 60 or 70 games every season, he can make at least twenty starts and thirty games, he understands that he is not Manchester United's first choice for the left forward. Although Giggs is almost thirty-two years old, his condition shows no sign of decline. On the contrary, he is old and stronger, more stable and comprehensive than when he was young.

In addition, the Frenchman Ribery, who only joined the team last year, sometimes squeezed his playing time. Ribery is very comprehensive and can adapt to all positions in the midfield and frontcourt, which is more suitable for the team than Robben, who can only play on the wing. In addition, Manchester United has a lot of midfield talents, Robben felt tremendous pressure.

At this time, Mourinho gave him an olive branch and promised to give him the main position. Chelsea also provided him with better treatment than Manchester United, so he chose to leave the team.

Chelsea spent a lot of money to take Robben away. Although Robben is not the main player of Manchester United, he is the main player of rotation and has performed very well in the past two years. Therefore, Ferguson did not let go of the price of 35 million pounds to death, and Abramovich is the one who is not short of money, so he finally paid for Robben to take away.

These two are those who left Manchester United, while the other two are directly retired. The importance of these two people to Manchester United is even more important than Ronaldinho and Robben, because their names are Roy Keane and the other is Ole Solskjaer.

Keane suddenly proposed the idea of ​​retirement and was very determined. Both Jiang Feng and Ferguson were very surprised. Because Keane is now 34 years old, he is in very good health and has always been in good condition. Under his suppression, Carrick has been able to play as his substitute. According to Jiang Feng and Ferguson's ideas, Keane can still play for two or three years at Manchester United.

However, that's it, Keane unexpectedly made a request for retirement, and he was very determined to leave. He told Ferguson that the reason for his retirement was because he had already felt the aging of his body and the decline in his desire to win. After winning two consecutive Champions Leagues, Keane had fulfilled all his dreams. He thought it would be difficult for him to have the same fighting spirit as before, which would be very unfavorable to Manchester United. In addition, he didn't want Manchester United fans to see a Keane who was in a sluggish state due to aging. He wanted to maintain his always tough image in the impression of the fans. In addition, he felt that it was time to give the young people of the team more opportunities. So, he chose to retire at this time.

Solskjaer's condition is similar to Keane. Because of his frequent injuries in the past two years, he felt that his body was no longer good. Although Jiang Feng's company could help him recover from his injuries as quickly as possible, it could not stop him from being injured. He did not want to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair and hospital bed, so after he had more third Champions League trophy, he resolutely chose to retire.

Although they retired, they did not leave Manchester United. They both chose to be coaches at Manchester United and continued to cultivate talents for the team.

Jiang Feng and Ferguson can only show respect for their choice, because both of them are people who have made great contributions to Manchester United.

Moreover, Manchester United will not weaken their combat effectiveness because of their departure, because the new generation has fully grown up. Even after losing Keane, Solskjaer, Ronaldo and Robben, Manchester United's lineup is still very complete.

On the front line, there are six power forwards of Van Nie, Drogba, Van Persie, Rooney, Villa and Torres. In fact, before that, because Manchester United was too rich in talent on the front line, Ferguson had already put Rooney in the midfield more often, making him a substitute for Ronaldo and Scholes, and acting as Manchester United's offensive organizer.

In the midfield, after losing three major players Keane, Ronaldo and Robben in succession, Manchester United's lineup is still extremely luxurious: Giggs, Scholes, Ronaldo, Ribery, Carrick, Cambiaso, Fletcher, O'Shea, who can play the guest midfielder, and Rooney who can play the guest midfielder. Manchester United's midfielder is still full of talents.

On the back line, Manchester United's choice is also very rich, Evra, Vidic, Kompany, Macon, Gary Neville, Ferdinand, O'Shea, Wes Brown, and Pique. It is more than enough for these nine people to make up two lineups.

Therefore, neither Jiang Feng nor Ferguson had any plans to sign up this summer, because the team's lineup did not require signings at all. In other words, even if talents were needed, they could be selected from the team's youth team. At the beginning, after Jiang Feng bought Manchester United, he not only introduced talents from the senior team, but also paid more attention to digging out future stars. Now, Manchester United's youth team is also full of stars: Bale, Gotze, David Silva... all were secretly poached Manchester United's Carrington training base.

After Jiang Feng just paid a little attention to Manchester United's situation, he didn't worry too much. With Ferguson here, he could rest assured.

Jiang Feng is now worried about another thing.

Shortly after Jiang Feng returned to Shicheng, executives from major companies under Jiang's Group began to come to Shicheng headquarters to report. For a while, it was crowded, making the ladies at the reception desk busy.

Finally, I found that there were 708 people coming here. Although the Jiang Group headquarters could arrange some rooms, they did not have such a large capacity. Therefore, I had booked rooms for them in major hotels in Shicheng before. Anyway, there were many hotels with good relationships here. I contacted more than a dozen and arranged them all.

"If you hold a meeting, the expenses will be tens of millions, which is indeed a waste." Jiang Feng looked at the documents issued by the headquarters. He signed them on it, frowned and said.

But that's all he said. In fact, Jiang's Group has never held such face-to-face meetings. Since the beginning, it has either been a small-scale meeting or a video work meeting, which is relatively cheap. It is indeed the first time that the group's senior executives have mobilized to convene the meeting in Shicheng.

But this also allowed Jiang Feng to fully understand how much the cost of meetings is. When he thought about the meetings held in the capital every day, he couldn't help but be a little shocked. This cost is probably enough for the expenses of a small city? (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
