Restricted Superstar

The physical examination is no difficulty for Gao Xiaodong. His body has been fortified by super nutrient solution once. It is not so strong. Gao Xiaodong is afraid that he is too strong and is suspected by the Manchester United team doctors.

After the physical examination, it was getting late. Manchester United club owner Glazer hosted a banquet for Gao Xiaodong and Mendes, accompanied by the club's top management and coach Ferguson.

Although Magsim. Glazer suffered a stroke three years ago, his physical movement is not very convenient, and he is not suitable for drinking, but he still came in person and offered three cups of Gao Xiaodong with a drink.

At the banquet, Manchester United and Gao Xiaodong mainly discussed the issue of Gao Xiaodong's jersey number.

Don't look at Gao Xiaodong's high-sounding words to reporters, as if he really doesn't care what jersey he wears. In fact, Gao Xiaodong is bound to win the No. 10 jersey.

Although No. 7 is a legendary number, it also has considerable significance in Manchester United’s team history, including George Best, Brian Robson, Cantona, Beckham, Rowe and other Manchester United’s most outstanding superstars. Both were once the owners of the Red Devils 7, but Gao Xiaodong's goal is not just the legend of Manchester United, but the No. 10 that symbolizes the king of the ball, and the No. 10 that Maradona and Pele passed through.

However, Rooney has not yet determined whether to transfer or not. If the No. 10 jersey is directly sent to Gao Xiaodong from Rooney, it is equivalent to directly driving Rooney away.

For now, Rooney’s worth in the transfer market is about 70 million, but if Rooney is sold, it will be difficult for Manchester United to buy someone with the same strength to replace it. Even if it is bought, running-in is a problem, so Manchester United still hopes to stay. Rooney.

In the case of Rooney, how to get the No. 10 jersey over without angering Rooney is a difficult problem.

Glazer coughed, stood up with the help of his assistant, and said solemnly: "It's related to the internal affairs of the team. Actually, I shouldn't have interjected, but David and Sir Alex, Gao's No. 10 jersey In fact, it’s not Gao’s personal preference, but also the team’s business operations. We all know that behind Gao is the vast Chinese market. The favorite of Hua’s fans is No. 10, a No. 10 Xiaodong Gao. It will make Huaguo fans more proud, but other numbers obviously can't achieve this effect, even the great number 7."

Glazer's words made Gao Xiaodong feel refreshed in his heart. He said that the level of speaking of a world-class rich man is high, and our little **** has become a major issue related to the team's business operations in his mouth.

Mendes secretly praised the Jews for being so savvy and grasping consumer psychology to this point. Indeed, Gao Xiaodong on No. 10 and Gao Xiaodong on No. 7 are definitely different in the eyes of Chinese fans, but Glazer Yue With that said, Mendes feels happy, because Gao Xiaodong can't get the No. 10 jersey, and Manchester United is also anxious.

Mendes smiled and said: "Mr. Magsim is right. Xiaodong will sign the contract tomorrow. I heard that more than 60,000 people will come to Old Trafford to watch Gao Xiaodong's appearance. If Gao Xiaodong can't wear it tomorrow For the No. 10 jersey, I think the jersey sales volume will be much lower, which not only affects the team’s income, but also affects Gao Xiaodong’s popularity."

Glazer said: "Sir Alex, now the No. 10 jersey is worn on Rooney. You and Rooney have the same father and son. Apart from you, I am afraid that no one can solve this problem. Please take the trouble."

Ferguson wants people, and Ferguson spends money. Of course, Ferguson has to solve problems.

Although Ferguson knew this was a thorny issue, he had no shirk and had to take it up.

Ferguson laughed and said: "This is a trivial matter. Xiaodong is now a berserk player in the world. Manchester City has offered an annual salary of 17 million euros. As a result, Xiaodong came to Manchester United. This is a great happy event, on the 10th. The jersey must be given to Xiaodong, this matter is on my body, and I will talk to Rooney when I look back."

Gao Xiaodong said: "In this case, thank you Sir Alex."

Ferguson looked at Gao Xiaodong with joy, as if Luo had returned to him again, hehe smiled and said, "Stop calling me Sir Alex, just call me boss like other players."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Thank you boss, I'm still young, and I offended my teammates in the first two years. Please take care of me in the future and don't let people bully me."

"Well, that's okay. We have your Asian fellow Park Ji-sung on our team. You can communicate with him more."

Ferguson agreed, but he was thinking that among the geniuses I coach, David Beckham, Giggs, Keane, Luo, Rooney, you are so cunning and ruthless, and you will pretend to be naive. Sell ​​stupid and return others to bully you, so you don't bully others.

Gao Xiaodong said: "You must ask him more, don't worry."

After the banquet, Gao Xiaodong, Xiao Le and Mendes went to the Laurie Hotel, a five-star hotel used by Manchester United to rest, and Ferguson went directly to Rooney's mansion in Cheshire.

Along the way, Ferguson was thinking about how to tell Rooney the number.

Regarding the competition for the jersey number, there have been many beautiful talks and funny stories in world football, but once they are not handled well, they become jokes and contradictions.

When Baggio joined Inter Milan, his favorite No. 10 was owned by Ronaldo. Ronnie immediately said: No. 10 can be sold, but I must wear No. 9. So, the Chilean Zamorano was forced to give the number 9 to the aliens, Baggio put on the number 10, Zamorano put on the number 18, and got a poor place between the two numbers. The plus sign.

After Ronaldinho joined Milan, the jersey number has always been a concern for fans. a Milan’s No. 10 jersey belongs to Seedorf, who refused to give up the No. 10 jersey after Ronaldinho arrived. In desperation, Ronaldinho could only choose the No. 80 jersey.

If you use the above approach, you can imagine that there will be conflicts in the team.

Seeing Ferguson coming, Rooney quickly took Ferguson into the house. He thought that Ferguson was here to talk about renewing his contract.

Ferguson met Rooney and said directly: "Wayne, the boss is here today. After signing Gao Xiaodong, the boss overdrafted a lot of money and plans to sell you and give your No. 10 jersey to Gao Xiaodong."

Rooney was furious when he heard it, and said: "What, I haven't transferred yet, so I have to give away my jersey. No, I would rather not transfer. My No. 10 jersey will never be given to that Chinese."

Ferguson sighed: "Gao Xiaodong is a clever man. He is afraid of offending you, so I don't want to. I also told the boss that Wayne has worked hard at Manchester United for the past 6 years. Without Rooney, how could Ronaldo win the Golden Globe."

Rooney was exasperated by what Ferguson said, and said: "Ronaldo still has the strength."

Ferguson suddenly said seriously: "But, Wayne, have you considered that there is a vast Chinese market behind Gao Xiaodong, which is a population of 1.5 billion, and the boss will not give up. I am worried that he will force yours. If you grab the jersey and give it to Gao Xiaodong, you will be ashamed at that time."

Rooney said angrily: "If he dares to do this, I will immediately transfer and leave."

Ferguson sneered: "Don't you feel embarrassed when you transfer, what is the difference with ostrich burying your head in a fool."

Rooney slapped the table and said, "What should I do?"

Ferguson said: "In fact, there is another way to achieve the best of both worlds."

When Rooney heard this, he said anxiously: "What should I do?"

Ferguson said: "So, isn't Irving wearing Manchester United's most important No. 7 jersey? I advise Irving to give you the No. 7 jersey first, and then you take the initiative to give the No. 10 jersey to Gao Xiaodong. Wouldn't you have the best of both worlds?"

Rooney said: "I took the initiative to give it to Gao Xiaodong, wouldn't it be more embarrassing?"

Ferguson said: "You want to wear the No. 7 jersey, not the No. 10 jersey, and Owen is getting older and gives up the No. 7 jersey for the benefit of the team. No one will laugh at him."

Rooney was stunned by Ferguson and felt that this was indeed a good solution. If he was forcibly deprived of his jersey, it would be really shameful, so he agreed.

Ferguson persuaded Rooney, and then went to Owen's house.

The 31-year-old Owen is here from Liverpool’s mortal rival Manchester United. Not to mention the position of the team compared with the native 92 class, even with Rooney, Carrick and others. Ferguson threatened and lured. Irving can only voluntarily give up the No. 7 jersey.
