Chapter 166, Absolutely No Compromise

Woodward felt a chill at this moment. Although the windows in his office were not open, he felt a gust of cold wind blowing, especially after Kim Tag said those words, Woodward felt a little nervous.

"If he doesn't agree, then his players can leave Manchester United at any time!"

The room was quiet, and after a long time, Woodward broke the silence: "Others can leave, but he is Rooney..."

Jin Taige smiled: "What's wrong with Rooney? Could it be that without him, the team can't win? Can't win the championship? Manchester United is not a team that relies on superstars like Real Madrid or Barcelona. Manchester United emphasizes overall cooperation and pays attention to the team." Cooperation, the superstar is just an introduction and does not represent the entire team."

Woodward nodded: "Although that is said, Rooney is in good form now. If he is let go, won't it affect the strength of the team?"

Jin Taige shook his head: "Ed, I guess you haven't watched the team's games much recently."

Woodward was a little embarrassed: "Uh, I'm a bit busy during this time, and I haven't been to the scene to watch the last few games."

"Rooney is different from the beginning of the season now. It's just that in the past six months, his state has declined sharply. According to this trend, even if he stays in the team, I can only arrange him to play as a substitute." Kintag said.

"So exaggerated? Won't the state slowly recover?"

"Based on my guess, it will never happen again. Rooney's state will plummet, and the former number one striker in England will never return to his peak state." Kintag said with certainty.

"Are you sure? Why is this?" Woodward was very puzzled.

"There are many reasons," Jin Taige thought for a while, "Rooney became famous very early. When he was young, he mainly relied on speed and explosive power to win, but he has experienced three major injuries in recent years, and he is a little older and slower. , Physical fitness has also begun to weaken, so the decline in state is inevitable."

In fact, the reason why Jin Taige is so sure is not only because of his own speculation, but also because of his memory from later generations.

In his memory, Rooney in that parallel world began to decline from this season, and the 2014-2015 season plummeted even more, completely losing the courage of the past. At this time, it is definitely not worthwhile to renew the contract with Rooney at a high price.

Therefore, Jin Taige is very firm, no matter what level he considers, he will never renew his contract with Rooney at a high price!

Woodward thought about it again: "But apart from the competitive aspect, the commercial value Rooney brought to the club is also very large. He is now the number one star of the England team and has great appeal among the fans. If we let go Without him, it will be a great loss to the club. And being able to have a famous local star will better promote the club in England."

Jin Taige smiled confidently: "Ed, don't worry, even if we lose Rooney, we will definitely gain other younger and more potential England stars in a short time, so don't worry, this deal will not cause too much damage to the club." Big impact. Even if there is some small loss, it is definitely much smaller than the loss of high-priced renewal.”

Speaking of this, several young figures of England's identity appeared in Kintag's mind. Although they are still in the youth team, Kintag is very convinced that in another two or three years, they will be able to smoothly advance to the first team and become the first team. An important member of Kintag's team, he can also gain the influence of the Premier League.

Hearing Jin Taige's categorical words, Woodward nodded: "Okay, I understand. Streford said that he would come to talk to me in the afternoon, and I will directly reject him when the time comes."

"Well, but if possible, it would be better to let Rooney stay, because he is also considered a veteran of Manchester United and can still play a certain role in the team. I even want to promote him to become the third captain next season. "

"I'll do my best."

After talking about Rooney, Woodward chatted with Kim Tag about club management.

After all, the topic turned to the game again.

Woodward said to Jin Tiger: "Tiger, during the summer transfer period, Mr. Glazer gave you a small transfer fee. I also know that this is not only because you are a new coach. Another point is that The operating income of the club last year was much lower than in previous years."

"Why? Is there something wrong with the club? Or is there any business difficulty for Glazer now?" Jin Taige thought.

Woodward shook his head: "Neither. The main reason is that the team's performance in the European competition in the past two years has been too poor. Since losing to Barcelona in the final of the 10-11 season, Manchester United has plummeted in the Champions League for two consecutive years. 11 -In the 2012 season, Manchester United did not even qualify for the group stage; in the 12-13 season, Manchester United stopped in the top 16. Let me calculate for you, in the 10-11 season, Manchester United reached the final and earned a total of more than 90 million in the Champions League Euros, nearly 100 million; if Manchester United can reach the semi-finals of the Champions League in the next two seasons, then they will earn at least 60 million euros a year! But unfortunately, the defeat in the Champions League in the two seasons made The club made at least 100 million less. Because of this reason, we are a little bit short on transfer fees this year. The reason why Mr. Glazer invested an additional 40 million euros in transfer fees during the winter transfer period, he told me that he hopes This season Manchester United can achieve something in the Champions League, at least they can earn back the money they spent. Therefore, Mr. Glazer hopes that the team can at least reach the semi-finals of the Champions League this season, so as to ensure the club’s transfer balance.”

Jin Taige smiled slightly: "Ed, I understand what you said. But you forgot one thing, have you forgotten our goal? Our goal is the Triple Crown, which includes the Champions League champion."

"Hahahaha! Tiger, I just like your straightforward character!" Woodward was overjoyed, "When you get the championship trophy, I will personally go to the court and spray you with champagne!"

From Rooney's contract renewal incident to the club's short-term goals, Kintag and Woodward talked in the office all morning, and they were full of hope for the future of the team.

In the afternoon, Kintag was guiding the training at the first-team training ground, and was talking with Scholes and Phelan about the future game. At this time, a person came from outside the training ground. Greeted: "Mr. Tiger, hello."

Jin Taige looked back, this face was a little strange. Even so, Jin Taige recognized the identity of this man immediately from his sinister smile.

"You're Rooney's agent, Mr Stretford, aren't you?"
