Chapter 985 Another Fat Guy

Hernandez's last-minute winner against Everton was very important to Manchester United.

As Arsenal was defeated by Bolton 2:1 and trailed Manchester United by 11 points, with four rounds left in the league, they almost certainly lost hope of winning the championship.

This not only gives Manchester United one less opponent to compete for the championship, but when they fight Arsenal in the next round, Arsenal, who have no hope of competing for the championship, may have weaker fighting spirit and not fight Manchester United to the death.

Chelsea continues to win this round. If Manchester United cannot beat Everton, the points gap will become 6 points. This is very dangerous for Manchester United, because they will play Arsenal in the next round, and Chelsea in the next round. Manchester United They are all unsure of winning.

Before the game, Hernandez and Gao Xiaodong, who planned and assisted Hernandez, became the heroes of Manchester United. The major media in England praised them, especially Hernandez.

"The Times" believes that the lazy Berbatov can be sold, and Hernandez can completely replace him.

"Daily Mail" said that Berbatov has height, but no heading ability, and is lazy in running. He is no longer suitable for Manchester United's crazy running and impact system. The three of Hernandez, Rooney and Gao Xiaodong Personnel is king. If Berbatov is not willing to be a substitute, then he can sell the Bulgarian and buy a substitute high forward.

In addition to suggesting selling Berbatov, the English media are even more anxious about Gao Xiaodong's contract extension.

When signing the contract last year, Gao Xiaodong did not sign a long-term contract, but only signed it for three years. Now that one year is coming, Gao Xiaodong only has two years left on his contract. If Manchester United does not renew the contract of a player like Gao Xiaodong, what will happen? It's very scary.

Not only the media are anxious, but so are the fans. On the Internet, Manchester United fans all over the world are asking every day if Gao Xiaodong has renewed his contract? Why the contract was not renewed? Manchester United fans did not care about the news that Manchester United was unwilling to meet Gao Xiaodong's annual salary of 15 million euros. They believed that Gao Xiaodong's strength was fully worthy of the world's first annual salary of 1,000 euros. Five million euros is nothing.

There are even many fans calling for donations online to give Gao Xiaodong a salary increase. As long as Gao Xiaodong is willing to stay, there is no problem in giving Gao Xiaodong a statue at Old Trafford. Of course, the premise is that Gao Xiaodong gets it for Manchester United. Second Triple Crown.

Of course, the most anxious one is Manchester United.

Now Gao Xiaodong's contract extension is in a stalemate, and Pogba, the talented boy from the youth team, is clamoring to leave. And there is news that Arsenal and Juventus now want Pogba, especially Professor Wenger, who is the last Likes to dig free monsters, Pogba is simply the most perfect defensive midfielder in the professor's mind.

Pogba is just a youth training player and is only related to Manchester United's future.

It has no impact on Manchester United's current situation. The reason why it attracted Manchester United's attention is mainly because Pogba has a very good relationship with Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong also likes to support him very much. He takes care of Pogba inside and out and brushes him up. assist,

Although Manchester United knows that Pogba's current agent is a friend of Gao Xiaodong and does not know what the relationship between Gao Xiaodong and Pogba is, as long as Pogba and Gao Xiaodong have a good relationship, Manchester United will not dare to Offend easily so as not to offend Gao Xiaodong.

Since Gao Xiaodong is unwilling to compromise on annual salary and signing time, Manchester United feels that it is better to solve the Pogba problem now and win Gao Xiaodong's favor first.

For a young man like Pogba, Manchester United could agree to both salary and playing time. However, Ferguson was worried about breaking the rules, so he did not sign a contract with Pogba. .

Just when Manchester United was considering how to renew the contracts of Gao Xiaodong and Pogba, Zhang Qi came to Manchester.

Zhang Qi came here for Pogba, but Zhang Qi did not negotiate with Manchester United. Pogba is really not short of potential buyers now. There are many teams willing to get Pogba. Zhang Qi’s mobile phone has almost been beaten. exploded.

Zhang Qi came to Gao Xiaodong mainly because someone wanted to poach Pogba, the top star of Xinglong Agency.

For Xinglong Agency, Pogba's existence is second only to Gao Xiaodong. Since Gao Xiaodong is not willing to break up with Mendes for the time being, Pogba has taken on the task of making Xinglong Agency famous.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Pogba became famous, people would come down to pick peaches.

This person is Raiola, the famous agent who is as famous as Mendes.

Compared with Mendes, who always wears a suit and talks politely, and is full of diplomatic rhetoric, Raiola is a short, fat and slovenly middle-aged man who is often full of swear words, snaps at every disagreement, and is crazy about commissions. He is called a vampire.

Raiola is an Italian who immigrated to the Netherlands with his family when he was 1 year old. Because his father opened a pizza shop in Haarlem, Raiola has been doing the work of serving dishes, washing dishes, and serving dishes since he was a child. Later, he managed the financial affairs of the pizza restaurant, which gave him a keen sense of money. Later, he studied law and was familiar with various contracts and legal regulations. He also briefly worked as a player but did not become famous. The Bosman Act allowed Raiola to see business opportunities, and he quickly became a player agent.

Speaking of which, Raiola had a feud with Xinglong Agency very early on.

When Gao Xiaodong was still at Inter Milan, he discovered that Balotelli was a very talented player and wanted to get Balotelli to Xinglong Agency. Gao Xiaodong almost succeeded, but in the end Balotelli Raiola was still snatched away by Balotelli's brother.

Later, Balotelli moved to Manchester City, and Raiola made a lot of money. This made Gao Xiaodong distressed and scolded Raiola for several days. He thought Raiola had robbed him of his money.

Gao Xiaodong is not a magnanimous person and has been looking for opportunities to take revenge on Raiola. However, before Gao Xiaodong found the opportunity to take revenge, Raiola came to poach him again.

"Raiola contacted Pogba's family and promised Pogba's family that he could bring Pogba to any giant in Serie A."

Zhang Qi's expression was very serious, completely different from his usual gentle look.

When Gao Xiaodong heard this, he cursed: "Damn it! Is this Raiola so European? He likes to rely on family members to establish relationships. He is even more Chinese than those of us who grew up in a relationship society."

Zhang Qi said: "Raiola is very cunning and does things unscrupulously. Unlike typical Europeans, Moggi from Juventus is great, but Moggi was tricked twice by Raiola."

Gao Xiaodong and Xiao Le were both surprised and asked, "How could this happen? Moji is an old fox."

The monkey smiled and said: "It is indeed true. Raiola is a figure who is often studied in Guadefoot Company. His transfer operations are unique and clever. Mr. Mendes said that Raiola is completely A book on football agents could be written.”

Xiao Le's passion for gossip was burning, and he said: "We want to hear the story about Aiola playing with Moji, where did you get it."

The monkey smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, listen to me and come slowly. The first time was in the summer of 2001. When Nedvěd transferred from Lazio to Juventus, Moggi was sure that the Blue Eagles were in financial crisis and kept compressing the transfer. At this time, the dissatisfied Raiola went to Madrid alone, sent photos of himself in contact with Real Madrid personnel to the Italian media, and claimed that the Galacticos were bound to win against the Czechs. This Moggi panicked. He hosted a banquet for Raiola and Nedved at a high-end restaurant. As soon as the three met, a large number of reporters rushed out and took pictures. Moggi claimed that Nedved had signed a contract with Juventus. Sri Lanka reached an agreement, and the old woman was not short of money. Moji thought he had cut off Raiola's retreat, but he actually fell into the opponent's trick. The staff who came into contact with Raiola had nothing to do with Real Madrid. Just actors he hired.”

Zhang Qi said with a smile: "The monkey knows it in detail. This is not a rumor, it is a real thing. However, if Moji had not fallen, it is estimated that this matter would not have been spread."

The monkey continued: "The second time was the transfer of Ibrahimovic. After the Swede emerged at Ajax, Moggi expressed strong interest. Then Raiola took advantage of the contradiction between Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart to let Ajax He let him go, and the transfer price was reduced from 35 million euros to 16 million. But at this time, Moggi changed his mind, claiming that Capello believed that Ibrahimovic and Trezeguet could not coexist, and that there were problems with the transfer, and he did this just to lower Ibrahimovic. The salary and agent commission were paid. Raiola was not in a hurry. He first invited Capello and Moggi to have dinner together and asked Capello in person whether he needed Ibrahimovic. After hearing this, Capello expressed his dissatisfaction directly to Moggi. Then he expressed his dissatisfaction. Raiola repeated his old tricks and hired a fake lawyer to pretend to be a Juventus staff member and came to the Netherlands. He exposed the matter to the media, saying that Juventus could sign Ibrahimovic for only 16 million. Afterwards, the wealthy clubs heard the news and prepared to increase the price to grab him. Man, Moggi had no choice but to rush to Ajax in person to discuss the transfer. When signing the contract, Raiola kicked Moggi on the hairless head with a football, making the Italians laugh bitterly."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Le said: "I think Raiola and Xiaodong are very similar. They are both demon kings."

Gao Xiaodong was unhappy when he heard this and said: "Can a fat guy compete with me? He is just a pig, but a difficult pig."

Xiao Le said: "You are not thin either."

The monkey laughed and said: "Compared to me, they all look like pigs."

Zhang Qi ignored Monkey and Xiao Le's banter and said: "He is very difficult to deal with, even more difficult than Mendes. At least Mendes pays attention to his posture."

Gao Xiaodong pondered: "How did Pogba react?"

Zhang Qi said: "Ferguson refused to sign a professional contract with him, which hurt Pogba's self-esteem. He had a tendency to leave Manchester United, but he did not agree to Raiola."

Gao Xiaodong said: "If you want to leave Manchester United, you have doubts about the ability of our Xinglong company. If we can't handle this contract well, it may be difficult to retain Pogba."

Zhang Qi said: "I think so too, so I came here to discuss with you how we can get Ferguson to sign Pogba."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Sir Alex is also a stubborn person. Besides, the one who competed with Xinglong Company at that time was Sir Alex's son. Sir Alex has no grudge against Pogba."

Zhang Qi's eyes flickered and said: "Xiaodong, can't you come forward?"

Gao Xiaodong pondered for a while and said: "Let's talk to Manchester United again, or if that doesn't work, talk to Arsenal. The professor is also good at training new people, and Arsenal is considered a wealthy club. If that doesn't work, I will have a showdown with Sir Alex Ferguson."

Zhang Qi, Monkey and Xiao Le all felt that what Gao Xiaodong said was reasonable, and they all began to sit down and discuss carefully how to persuade Ferguson to accept Pogba's annual salary request, or to persuade Pogba to lower his annual salary request.
