Chapter 700: Money Is the Fundamental Problem

If Rooney wants to rebel, it is impossible for the top management of Manchester United headed by Glazer alone to make Rooney change his mind. Ferguson must take action.

As Ferguson was driving to Rooney's mansion in Cheshire, he had been thinking about who could take Rooney's place if Rooney left. Gao Xiaodong! Only Gao Xiaodong!

Last season, Ferguson almost fell out with Mourinho over the competition for Gao Xiaodong. In the end, although Mourinho snatched Gao Xiaodong with the secret help of Mendes, Sir Alex deceived Mourinho at the last moment. With Neo's help, Inter Milan's salary system almost collapsed.

If Mourinho hadn't cleaned up the Argentinian gang with his iron fist, and Gao Xiaodong's attributes in all positions were too good, perhaps Inter Milan's locker room would have collapsed.

Gao Xiaodong's performance this season has been so miraculous that Inter Milan will basically not let him go until the 80 million liquidated damages are activated. Coupled with Manchester United's financial difficulties, Ferguson has never considered pursuing Gao Xiaodong again.

But Rooney suddenly became angry, telling the media that Manchester United was not worthy of his ambitions, and officially informed Manchester United that he planned to leave. This made the old Sir Alex, who had almost given up, once again think of the magical Chinese boy.

If I had bought Gao Xiaodong last season, maybe the Champions League championship would have been mine. When he walked into Rooney's house, this thought flashed through Ferguson's mind again.

Rooney seemed to have expected Ferguson to come. He and his wife Coleen welcomed Ferguson into their living room.

Ferguson had a bad temper. As soon as he sat down, he directly asked: "Wayne, why did you leave?"

Rooney said: "My agent Stretford had a meeting with CEO David Gill last week, but he failed to give me any guarantees about the team's future lineup. When the winter transfer comes, I hope the team We can introduce world-class players and strengthen the team, but the club has done nothing. If we can strengthen, maybe we can win the Champions League or the league, BOSS, I hope to win more championships, so I hope to go to a club A team with more strength and ambition."

While Rooney was speaking, Ferguson kept staring at Rooney with a sharp gaze, so much so that Rooney had to avoid Ferguson's gaze.

"Wayne, I hope you understand that the transfer is the responsibility of the club and me, not you. Your responsibility is to play football well." Ferguson tapped the table with his index finger and lectured: "Besides, I heard that you plan to Manchester City, is it that Manchester City, which has not even qualified for the Champions League, is more powerful and ambitious than Manchester United? And Chelsea, if we hadn't fought on two fronts, could Chelsea have defeated us and won the league title? In the Premier League, we are the best The team is also the most ambitious team.”

Rooney was not one to swallow his anger. He immediately retorted: "BOSS, we are very strong, but we are definitely not as ambitious as Manchester City and Chelsea. Their desire for the championship is stronger than ours."

Ferguson slammed the table and said, "Wayne, that can only mean that your desire is not strong. It cannot be said that other Manchester United players do not have a strong desire for the championship."

Rooney said: "BOSS, I'm talking about Glazer and David Gill, not teammates. They just want to make money."

Ferguson said solemnly: "Wayne, I gave up buying people during the winter break. Although the club is now in debt, the boss never said no to anyone I wanted to buy."

Rooney asked in confusion: "Why?"

Ferguson said: "Because I think the current lineup is enough for us to compete for the highest honor."

Rooney said rudely: "But we only won the League Cup, and the Champions League was completely defeated by Inter Milan, who was defeated last season."

He lost to Ancelotti in the league, lost to Mourinho in the Champions League, and was eliminated from the FA Cup by the third-tier team Leeds United. This was Ferguson's pain point. When Rooney provoked him, Ferguson was furious and almost started a lawsuit. , but thinking that he was here to persuade Rooney today, Ferguson suppressed his anger again.

Taking a deep breath, Sir Alex said: "Sometimes, winning the championship requires luck.

In this transfer, we will buy some heavyweight players to help us win the championship. "

Rooney waved his hand and said disdainfully: "BOSS, don't lie to me. I heard Mr. Streford say that our operating income this season is higher than in any other year, but our debts are more than before, and we have no money. Who can I buy?"

Ferguson said: "Wayne, whether you have money or not is the club's business, as long as the team can buy people. Manchester United is the greatest club in the world, Rooney, don't leave, stay, you will become a legend here."

Rooney hesitated and said: "No, BOSS, you are a great coach and a great mentor. You have been helping and supporting me since I came to Manchester United from Everton at the age of 18. I am very grateful to you, but Now Manchester United has declined. Glazer has ruined Manchester United. If they don't leave, it will be difficult for Manchester United to get ahead. I am already 25 years old. I hope to win more championships in my golden age instead of being mediocre at Manchester United. Do nothing."

Ferguson finally couldn't help it anymore and slammed the table hard, "Nonsense, is this a bastard idea instilled in you by your vampire agent? Wayne, don't treat your agents as your parents, they are vampires! Do you understand? ?They all care about your money and are not thinking about you wholeheartedly. Before the 2006 World Cup, you fractured your metatarsal bone. I told Eriksson that if he sent you out, I would kill him, but your In order to receive more endorsement ads, agent Stretford called Eriksson and told him that you must appear. Has he considered your career? Wayne! Wake up, now Stretford is letting you transfer. , just want to earn more commissions, they are vampires lying in your pocket!"

Before Rooney could speak, his wife Colleen spoke first.

"Sir Sir Alex, I think you have misunderstood Mr. Stretford. Since he became Wayne's agent, Rooney has only transferred once, which was from his beloved Everton to Manchester United. From 2004 to now, he has transferred Wayne has been here for 6 years. No matter what position he plays or how much salary he gets, Stretford has never asked for a salary increase every year like Raiola. Now the club is too stingy in the transfer market. They will It's a waste of Wayne's best years and I think that's why Stretford wants Wayne to move."

Colleen was originally a little girl, but it was Stretford who turned her into a starlet like the hottie Victoria. Colleen liked Stretford more than Rooney, so naturally she wanted to speak up for Stretford.

Salary increase? Ferguson felt as if he had grasped something. He touched his rosacea, calmed down, and said, "Wayne, do you think the £150,000 weekly salary provided by the club is too small?"

The weekly salary of 150,000 pounds is second only to Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure in the Premier League, and second only to Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, and Ibrahimovic in the entire European football world. It is the absolute maximum salary. Ferguson cannot believe that Rooney will Not satisfied.

Ferguson's style changed too quickly. Rooney scratched his head and said: "BOSS, this is not the main reason."

It's not the main reason, it's the reason, or this is the main reason. Ferguson immediately understood that whatever he said might be useless. Rooney valued money, not feelings, let alone whether Manchester United was great or not.

This is no longer the era when players could sign a contract with the club just because they trusted the coach. That era has become history.

Ferguson sighed, as if he had aged more than ten years. He stood up and said to Rooney: "Wayne, Manchester United is the one that needs you most, and it is also the stage that you need most. You are different from Ronaldo. You belong to the Premier League and Manchester United." . I will negotiate with Mr. Glazer and try to meet your requirements. Prepare well for the World Cup."

After saying that, without saying goodbye to Rooney, Ferguson patted Rooney on the shoulder and left Rooney's mansion.
