Chapter Two, Just Because of Ferguson
Mourinho took a careful look at Li Ao. To be honest, the first influence Li Ao gave him was very good.
From Li Ao's eyes, Mourinho saw ambition.
He likes ambitious players.
"I believe we can work together happily."
Mourinho grinned.
do not know why.
Li Ao can always see a bit of arrogance from Mourinho's eyes.
This kind of arrogance makes people dislike it, maybe this is the reason why he has a bad relationship with many players?
Li Ao thought in his heart, but said on his mouth: "Yes, boss, I am not coming back for vacation!"
Mourinho smiled: "Very well, I think we can get something here."
"It's definitely possible!"
Li Ao added.
Mourinho laughed.
For the time being, he is satisfied with Li Ao as the captain - if nothing else, Li Ao will wear the Manchester United captain's armband most of the time.
Because the first captain Vidic has been injured one after another since last season, his physique is basically glass.
Even now he is still recuperating.
The second captain, Evra, is also getting older, and it is foreseeable that basically there are not many opportunities to start.
What Mourinho requires is a full-back who can go up and down and has strong running ability.
If there is no suitable candidate in the transfer market, he intends to let Ashley Young play this position.
therefore.
Li Ao will be the man who will wear the Manchester United captain's armband most of the time.
A captain full of ambition and confidence.
In Mourinho's view, it is a guarantee of success.
Of course.
Not without worries.
So is Li Ao able to get the support of the locker room?
Then the two sides entered the administrative building of the training base together.
In a conference room.
Li Ao met Manchester United CEO Woodward for the first time.
To be honest, Woodward felt a little embarrassed.
At the beginning, I thought that Ferguson would be connected to the team, so I rejected the last captain appointed by Ferguson.
result....
Manchester United's performance last season was astonishing.
Ranked seventh in the league.
Plus in the FA Cup final.
Wigan Athletic, who had already been relegated, defeated Manchester City against the sky and won the FA Cup.
This is the biggest upset of the FA Cup in these years.
A team that was relegated in the league actually won the FA Cup.
So even if it is relegated to the English Championship.
Wigan Athletic also grabbed a qualification to participate in the Europa League.
It squeezed away Manchester United, which ranked seventh in the league.
That is. Next season's Manchester United can only concentrate on the domestic league.
For Manchester United, the absence of the European war, especially the absence of the Champions League, hurts too much.
First of all, the team's brand is inevitably affected, and the team's stock price continues to fall. Until today, with the stimulation of Li Ao's return, the stock price of [Tianlian] has a tendency to rise.
Secondly, the economic impact is also great.
Competing in European competitions means huge financial benefits for any team.
Don't say anything else.
Take the Champions League as an example.
There are four English teams participating in the UEFA Champions League. Due to the high broadcast price of England itself and the high number of UEFA Champions League points, there is a lot of water in the UEFA Champions League prize pool accumulated in England.
Take Manchester United's status.
Just play in the Champions League.
Even if the group fails to qualify.
They have only played six group games, and they can also get at least 50 million euros in bonuses.
If you count ticket revenue, commercial revenue on game days, stadium advertising, etc.
Participating in the Champions League once can earn at least 70 to 80 million yuan.
Even a big club like Manchester United cannot ignore such benefits.
And even if they don't participate in the Champions League, participating in the Europa League can still earn Manchester United an income of 30 to 40 million.
All that income is now gone.
The team brand is humiliated and stadium revenue is damaged.
All these put San Dezi under great pressure.
In general.
San Dezi is a businessman.
The figure is very soft.
He can let go of his figure.
So when he saw Li Ao, he held out his hand first.
"Welcome our captain back!"
Facing San Dezi's compliment, Li Ao showed a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"thanks."
The two shook hands and took their seats.
Then under the lens of the photographer arranged by the club.
The two signed their names on the contract respectively.
Start from this moment.
Li Ao officially renewed his contract with Manchester United.
A weekly salary of £380,000.
Both the goal award and the assist award are top in the team.
The contract period is five years.
Liquidated damages....150 million pounds!
Then, for the first time.
Manchester United released the news simultaneously on their official website and official social media, including Twitter, bib and other accounts.
This is a group photo of Li Ao, San Dezi and Mourinho.
Li Ao holds a Manchester United new season jersey in his hand.
Is there no way to get the number? Because the two parties have just completed the contract, and the number has not yet been determined.
Because last season Li Ao's number was 39.
This is the big size that belongs to the youth training players.
With the current status of Li Ao.
Unless he himself is willing to continue to carry this tuba.
if not.
He will definitely choose a number among the main numbers.
With Manchester United's official announcement.
The media quickly followed suit.
With the power of modern media.
They quickly dug up the details of Li Ao's contract.
"Sky Sports" quickly disclosed that there was a liquidated damages clause in Li Ao's contract.
"In order to sign a long-term contract with Li Ao, Manchester United agreed for the first time to add a liquidated damages clause to Li Ao's contract. As we all know, in England... the liquidated damages clause is rarely discussed, because almost No team will agree to a liquidated damages clause....
With media reports.
Celebrities from all walks of life also began to comment on this matter.
Liverpool star Souness, who is now a radio commentator, took the lead in mocking Manchester United: "Manchester United almost kneel down to welcome Li Ao back. It is said that they are still the number one club in England. Agreeing to add a liquidated damages clause to a player's contract...."
Everyone knows the relationship between Liverpool and Manchester United.
This is the mortal enemy among mortal enemies.
So it's no surprise that Liverpool celebrities jumped out to mock Manchester United.
Fans of other teams also turned on the mocking mode.
Since the beginning of the Premier League era, Manchester United has been the ruler of the Premier League.
being targeted.
When Manchester United was strong in the past, there was no chance for the celebrities of other visiting teams to mock Manchester United.
Because Manchester United's results are better than theirs.
Isn't mocking Manchester United a slap in the face?
competitive sports,
Grades are the last word.
But what about now?
Manchester United finished eighth in the league last season.
This gave all the celebrities and fans a chance.
They took the opportunity to taunt Manchester United.
It seems that they want to vent their grievances suppressed by Manchester United for the past two decades!
Although other teams are mocking Manchester United.
But what do United fans think?
They don't feel that the club is kneeling and licking.
Because Li Ao was obviously a great contributor to the team in the season when the team won the Premier League championship.
But he was directly loaned out by the club (Good Zhao)!
Such a mindless operation is simply suffocating.
Li Ao didn't directly refuse to come back, which is already considered very good.
For example, after retiring, Scholes analyzed the reasons why Li Ao would return to Manchester United in his column.
"For no other reason than Sir Alex Ferguson!"
well known.
Scholes and Li Ao are close personal friends.
Many people think that this is something that Li Ao himself is not convenient to say, and Scholes just let Scholes say it.
That is.
Li Ao returns to Manchester United.
It's not because of how much he loves Manchester United-even with the way Manchester United treated him before, no one can say anything about him leaving directly.
The reason he returned.
It is because... Sir Alex Ferguson gave him a chance, and he is willing to return to Manchester United to bring out the muddy Manchester United.
Ferguson is almost a totem for Manchester United fans.
And Li Ao is the last captain appointed by Ferguson. For Manchester United fans, they can't accept Li Ao leaving Manchester United's double.
Now Li Ao is back
in any way,
This is a happy thing for Manchester United fans. .
