Chapter 154, Winter Transfer Period

On January 2, 2014, Manchester United held a press conference, and they officially introduced the three new players to the news media and fans.

The midfielder Radja Nainggolan transferred from Serie A Cagliari, 15.5 million euros; the young midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, transferred from Premier League Chelsea, 20 million euros Mohamed Salah, the winger fast horse transferred from the Swiss giants Basel, 14 million euros.

These three new aids spent a total of 49.5 million euros, and they were all announced when the winter transfer window just opened. The magnitude and speed of such signings surprised the peers and the media. Kintag announced to the outside world that these three players are all personally selected and valued stars of hope. They are all important weights for Manchester United to return to the top of Europe.

The news media discussed and published articles to discuss their views.

During the summer transfer period, many media questioned Kintag's signings, but they didn't expect that Kintag slapped them in the face after only half a year.

What they once called "the young player of Boulogne in the French second division" Kanter has now become the hottest iron waist in the Premier League.

Mahrez, the "small player of 500,000 euros" they once called, has now become Giggs' left heir.

The "immature French kid" Martial in their mouths has now become a sharp knife on the right side of Manchester United.

And several other new aids also performed very eye-catching.

So this time the media were all careful. They avoided this topic by coincidence, and only introduced Manchester United's new aid without adding too many personal emotions and opinions.

Even so, there are still people who are not afraid of things, such as Kintag's enemy-Wolf of "The Sun".

He wrote so in his column for The Sun on January 3.

"Although the players bought by Jin Taige during the summer transfer period have been lucky to achieve some success, it does not mean that he can see the pearl with his eyes and turn the stone into gold every time. Let's take a look at the three players he officially announced yesterday. "

"Nainggolan? An unknown midfielder for a team in lower Serie A? What can this kind of player come to Manchester United? Can he be a substitute for the old guys Giggs and Carrick? I don't think he is better than Fletcher or Anderson .”

"De Bruyne? Hahahaha! Please allow me to laugh for a while. The Belgian kid who couldn't even play as a stable substitute at Chelsea, Kintiger actually spent 20 million euros to bring him to Old Trafford as a baby De? I really don’t know what Kintag’s criteria for selecting players are? Is it based on rolling the dice?”

"Salah? Who is he? I checked the information and found that this Egyptian is a bit interesting. He once broke Chelsea's goal in the Europa League semi-finals in 2012-2013; in this season's Champions League In the middle, Basel and Chelsea were in the same group again. In the two rounds of the match, Salah scored another goal and helped Basel double beat Chelsea in the group stage. I guess, Kintag is really right Mourinho's bus tactics are powerless. The only purpose of buying Salah is to deal with Chelsea. Well, I think so. However, Kintegger may need to invest in the next transfer, such as buying another A striker who can beat Manchester City's goals, a striker who can beat Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern, Juventus... Wow, Manchester United's transfer fee this summer is estimated to cost a lot."

On January 2, 2014, Kintag personally took the three new players to the player apartment prepared by the club for them. Jin Taige told them that they could choose to live here or go out to live by themselves. Then Jin Taige introduced the club's schedule and team discipline to the three of them.

De Bruyne helped Kintag translate this to Nainggolan and Salah. De Bruyne is a Belgian, he is proficient in French and German, Nainggolan is his fellow, needless to say the language communication; and Salah played in Switzerland before, and he is also very proficient in German, so the three of them only met each other. Communication was no problem.

And De Bruyne has stayed at Chelsea for more than a year and is very familiar with English, so it is no problem to help Kintag translate.

Kintag patted De Bruyne on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Kevin, you are more familiar with England than both of them. In the future, the three of you should help each other."

De Bruyne nodded: "No problem, Coach Tiger."

"You don't have to be so serious in the future, just call me the boss. We are coaches and players on the court, and friends and brothers off the court."

After hearing this, De Bruy was very moved: Mourinho, who always had a low face, would not say such things.

Compared with De Bruyne, who was a little shy, Salah was much more lively. He spoke proficient English, smiled and said to Kintag: "Boss, thank you for your appreciation, I hope you can do more in the future." Advise."

Jin Taige asked in surprise: "Is your English not bad?"

"Well, I have been wandering around since I was a child, so I have learned the languages ​​of many countries. If it is not because I like football, I think Egypt will definitely have an extra diplomat." Salah said with a serious face.

Kim Tag was amused by him: "Muhammad, are you always so joking?"

"It's okay, hehe," Salah said with a smile, "Training and competition have been very hard. If you can't maintain a happy mood, then life will be such a painful experience."

Jin Taige nodded: "Muhammad, I will recommend a teammate to you tomorrow, the team's right back Raphael, he likes to joke like you, the two of you must be able to chat."

"Really, which country is he from?"

"Brazilian."

"Oh, Brazilian," Salah thought for a while, "then if I make fun of him in Arabic or Dutch, he will not be able to understand it, so it's settled!"

Looking at Salah's cheerful appearance, he is full of expectations for his future life.

Jin Taige thought: such a lively and cheerful person will definitely be very popular with his teammates.

Kintag turned his head and looked at Nainggolan next to him. Since just now, Nainggolan has rarely spoken. Except for the very official declaration at the press conference, Nainggolan just listened to what Kintag said. That's all. Although Nainggolan's height is only 176cm, he has a burly figure, and his appearance is already very fierce. In addition, he does not speak, which makes people feel a little chilling.

Kim Tag asked him, "Radegar, can you speak English?"

Nainggolan replied in unproficient English: "Understand, if the other party speaks slowly, I can understand roughly."

"Oh, that's good, otherwise you may suffer from Kevin." Jin Taige said.

Nainggolan was taken aback: "Why?"
