Full-level header at the beginning, the whole network begs me not to return to the national football

Chapter 187 The joining ceremony of new players! Manchester United is fully prepared for the new season!

On July 15th, ever since Lu Chenfeng gave a message to the two midfielders of Manchester United, everything that followed seemed to go very smoothly.

Mourinho seemed to have great success in his subsequent contacts with the two players, and he quickly determined some basic contracts between the two.

Of course, this contract cannot be signed yet. Manchester United must first go through Real Madrid and reach an agreement with Real Madrid before they can enter into final negotiations with the players.

Generally speaking, in clubs across Europe, the club has the right to decide whether a player should stay or go.

If the club does not let this player go, and the player is not for sale to this club, it is almost impossible to promote a signing.

But this relatively common restraint has become very childish for top stars.

For these top stars, as long as they are on the team for one day, they have to pay high wages, and the financial pressure on the club will be great.

In addition, there are various restrictions.

For example, the pressure of public opinion, the pressure of fans on owners and coaches, and the guidance of fans on players' personalities.

Just imagine if Modric told Real Madrid now, I want to leave.

If Real Madrid forcibly retains him and breaks up with the players, it will not only pay the players a weekly salary of 300,000 euros in vain.

The relationship between senior management and coaches and players will also deteriorate, and external public opinion will be very unfavorable to this player.

Fans feel that players have betrayed them, and they will definitely label former heroes as traitors on the Internet.

As a result, the players will become further and further apart from the club and fans, and the possibility of reconciliation on the court will become smaller and smaller. In the end, they will even be willing to retire directly, causing the club to bear a loss that it should not bear.

In this case, if the top star wants to leave, how can the club dare to keep him?

After regretting it, the only option is to earn a very generous transfer fee and then go to the transfer market to find a new successor.

Of course, as the most successful club in the world in the 20th century and the most established giant, Real Madrid would not have such worries on weekdays.

They know in their hearts that the team's stars may not find a better place to go than here, especially when the club just won the Champions League.

If you want to say that those marginal players have no position and want to leave, then after all, it doesn't hurt if the marginal players leave.

so.

When Mourinho called the chairman of Real Madrid on the night of July 14, the disbelief and anger that came from the phone was understandable.

"Casemiro and Luka Modric?!"

"Are you sure?!"

"Mourinho, you also coached Real Madrid for a period of time. The task given to you by the club at that time was to break Barcelona's dream team monopoly, and you did it."

"Although you didn't achieve anything in the European war, I have to admit that you completed your task very well. It was a honeymoon period for us."

"Now, you have left for other clubs, but I think it is really unnecessary to do such a thing, right?"

"Contacting players early is the most taboo thing in football. You have been a coach for so many years and you don't even know this?"

"..."

Florentino said a lot at once, and Mourinho could almost guess what was happening on the other end of the phone.

But he just smiled slightly and said: " Florentino, I think you have more experience than me when it comes to contacting players in advance."

"When did Real Madrid purchase a young player from outside, did they follow the formal procedures with the club first?"

"You must know it very well yourself."

Having said this, Mourinho paused, and then decided not to waste time and talk directly.

"I think we don't need to talk too much about this ineffective issue."

"I just called you for one thing. Let's discuss the transfer fees for the two players."

Suddenly, Florentino's curses came from the other end of the phone again. This time, the chairman who had been in a high position for a long time made a rare gaffe, and the curses were very unpleasant.

If these two Real Madrid midfield tigers leave, Real Madrid will inevitably be stretched in the midfield position.

Although there are two top players, Asensio and Kroos, if we go into detail, there may only be young players left.

The only good news is that this transfer invitation did not come too late. It will still be some time before the end of the transfer window. During this period, Real Madrid can still use the money to strengthen.

If Mourinho breaks the news to him at the end of the transfer period, he will collapse.

"Casemiro has 100 million euros and Modric has 140 million euros."

After a long silence, Florentino quoted a price.

"I think you are joking. The market prices of the two players are not here at all. If this is your attitude, I think we can talk about it next time."

Mourinho is not the one who is anxious now. After making an agreement with two such top superstars, the matter is almost a foregone conclusion.

These two players will soon become something that Lafayette must sell, otherwise Real Madrid will be demoralized in the new season and conflicts in the locker room may break out.

Once the sale is too late and the money cannot be recovered, it will be difficult to find a replacement in the transfer window, and Real Madrid will be under tremendous pressure.

"Casemiro is 60 million euros, Modric is 80 million euros."

Listening to the continuous exhalation on the other end of the phone, Mourinho himself first stated a price.

"No, Mourinho, don't think that the matter is a foregone conclusion. Real Madrid, as a great club, sometimes has more ways than you think."

"When necessary, we will be forced to take some emergency measures."

Galeries Lafayette was not to be outdone. After thinking for a while, he quoted a price, "Casemiro is 70 million euros, Modric is 90 million euros, and the total transfer fee is 160 million euros."

"This is our final offer, if..."

Before Lafayette finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mourinho's crisp words with a smile.

"The deal is done. The money will be transferred to the club's finances tomorrow. Let the players and agents come to Manchester United to report. I wish you a wonderful new season."

Toot toot…

After saying this, Mourinho hung up the phone.

It is conceivable that Lafayette Florentino must still be in a state of confusion.

Originally, two of the team's stars were pried away without knowing it, but now the price was determined with a simple phone call. In the end, he originally thought that Mourinho would counter-offer, but he didn't expect that this was something that Manchester United was very satisfied with.

Price, agree directly.

In just a few minutes, Florentino experienced so many major events, and one can imagine the distortion in his heart.

…………

The time has come to July 20th, which is very close to the start of the new season.

On this day, the first major event of the new season ushered in the crowded Manchester United media room.

New player joining ceremony.

Previously, three backcourt players have been confirmed to sign, and they will all appear at Old Trafford today.

As for the other players, Manchester United has not released any news yet. I just heard that Mourinho has acquired two of the players he wants in the midfield.

But all this will be revealed in front of everyone today.

You can imagine how popular the upcoming news will be.

After two o'clock, Mourinho brought Lu Chenfeng to the press conference.

As the hero of signing Casemiro and Modric, Mourinho feels that Lu Chenfeng is qualified to stand here.

Soon, the unveiling ceremony for the three players Umtiti, Vertonghen and Van Dijk began.

"Pah, pah, pah, pah..."

They entered Old Trafford amidst a mountain of applause and showed off their skills in front of the fans and media.

Lu Chenfeng stood aside and looked at the three players, looking forward to the new season with great anticipation.

Others may not yet know their future development trends, but as a later generation who has traveled through time, he knows it very well.

Vertonghen, as the backbone of the Belgian national team's defense and the backbone of Tottenham's subsequent defense, his ability is beyond doubt.

It's more than enough to play as a full-back, and it's definitely better than Valencia, who has already passed his prime. It will make Manchester United's wing extremely stable.

Umtiti, as the French national team's hero player in winning the World Cup in 2018, will get better and better in the next few years and gradually become a T0-level central defender.

He can attack and defend, and he also has an excellent header when necessary.

As for the last one, Van Dyke, Lu Chenfeng thinks this is the one that goes without saying.

In the future, after joining the Red Army Liverpool, his outstanding performance earned him the title of the world's number one central defender.

In the center back position where the competition is very fierce and it is difficult to distinguish the ultimate strength from the weak, the fact that a player can be recognized as having this title is enough to prove that his defensive ability is a level higher than others.

The Manchester United defense line composed of these three people will become a nightmare for all team forwards in the new season, and will form a solid puzzle piece for Manchester United's defense line during their great championship season!

They also received No. 2, No. 3, and No. 5 respectively, which represent the core numbers of the defense.

After the appearance ceremony of these people, Mourinho and Lu Chenfeng returned to the news media briefing room.

At such a moment, Mourinho looked flushed and said very happily: "Lu Chenfeng, come and announce this news to the media."

"OK."

Lu Chenfeng was stunned for a moment and then nodded with a smile. There was nothing to be embarrassed about.

He turned his head and looked at the pair of expectant eyes below. After a moment of relief, he smiled and said, "Let's invite the two backbones of Manchester United's midfield for the new season."

"Two players whose careers are close to a club Grand Slam, Luka Modric and Casemiro."

"..."

Modric, with long blond hair, walked out in a suit and came between Lu Chenfeng and Mourinho with a smile.

Casemiro then followed behind with a silly smile.

The scene suddenly fell into a deathly silence, and the air seemed to be frozen by something. Everyone just stared blankly at the podium, unable to say a word.

who??

Luka Modric?

Casemiro?

Two of the most highly regarded midfielders at Real Madrid's championship ceremony are here at once?

"hiss……"

"hiss……"

After the daze, another gasp of cold air suddenly came from the scene.

Some people have made this conjecture before, but in their expectations, Mourinho seems to be able to bring at most one of them.

This is considered the best-case scenario, with the added bonus of losing the pie.

But now...two of them came at once?!

Will Real Madrid have any fun in the new season?!

"Click, click, click."

Soon, a very intensive sound of cameras sounded, and everyone quickly took first-person photos of the two of them as if they had just woken up from a dream.

They also received the No. 10 jersey and the No. 6 jersey respectively, Modric No. 10.

Under the coercion of Malcolm, Mourinho, and Lu Chenfeng, the two new players stood in the middle and held up their jerseys to complete the shooting.

"Here we would like to thank the club's top scorer Lu Chenfeng. It was his two phone calls that persuaded the two of them to come to Manchester United."

After hearing Mourinho's words, the scene was shocked again.

Everyone looked at Lu Chenfeng with a strange expression. It seemed that it was not that surprising that this super shooter appeared here today.

Two phone calls helped United bring these two...

This guy can be called the biological father of Manchester United.

If it doesn't work, Manchester United will just give him the position of sports director?!

Next, there is a series of normal joining ceremonies.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of fans at Old Trafford, Modric and Casemiro made their debuts here.

"Shet! Shet! It's Modric and Casemiro!"

"Is what I saw real? What is going on? Damn it."

"Damn Mourinho, damn Malcolm! They definitely hid it from us on purpose before. They didn't release the news. They just said that two mysterious players would join our club! Damn it!"

"Ahhh! I'm so happy now."

"I am really looking forward to the game against Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow. The team's new players can come on the field and give the opponent a good beating. This lineup is simply too strong!"

"Let’s not talk about the solidity of the back line. Just Casemiro’s interception and sweep ability in the midfield, coupled with Modric’s super accurate through ball ability! Cooperation with Lu Chenfeng! Manchester United’s offense will then be

It will be even stronger than last season!”

"I'm really about to cry. Tell me this is just a dream."

"..."

The Manchester United fans in the stands burst into shocked cheers, and then started chatting together, all expressing their excitement wantonly.

Yes, just like some fans said.

It is really hard for them to imagine what Manchester United will achieve in the new season!

That night, when the news of these two superstars joining Manchester United was released, public opinion on the Internet was also in an uproar.
