Chapter 716: Retention and Farewell

There is no airtight wall in the world. Before the president of Inter Milan rushed to the United States to retain Gao Xiaodong, the news that Gao Xiaodong was transferring to Manchester United spread among the fans.

Originally, Mourinho's departure made Inter Milan fans very sad and disappointed, but after all, Gao Xiaodong is still here. Now that they heard that Gao Xiaodong is also leaving, Inter Milan fans can't stand it.

The day after the news broke, thousands of Inter Milan fans marched and sat in at the door of No. 26 Durini Street with banners that read, "If we give up Gao Xiaodong, we will give up watching the game."

Although both Gao Xiaodong and Xiao Le left their villa on the shores of Lake Como, thousands of fans still gathered in front of Gao Xiaodong's home. They wanted to tell Gao Xiaodong their sincerity in staying in this way.

On Twitter and Facebook, Gao Xiaodong's fans surged to 100,000 overnight, and countless fans left messages below, imploring Gao Xiaodong to stay at Inter Milan.

Some fans even said that they would dedicate their girlfriends to Gao Xiaodong, some said that if Gao Xiaodong dared to transfer, he would assassinate Gao Xiaodong, and some fans wanted to call on like-minded people to donate to Gao Xiaodong and use high salaries to retain Gao Xiaodong. Xiaodong.

There are also many Huaguo Inter fans on Gao Xiaodong's Weibo who want to keep Gao Xiaodong. However, compared to foreign fans, Huaguo Inter fans are not so persistent. They not only like Inter Milan's Gao Xiaodong, but also like Gao Xiaodong as a person.

Some Nella teams in China said that they hope Gao Xiaodong stays, but if Gao Xiaodong moves to Manchester United, they will also support Gao Xiaodong.

Although the United States is a football desert and Inter Milan went to the United States to train mainly to develop the North American football market, there were still many local Inter Milan fans gathered outside the Philadelphia Eagles stadium where Inter Milan trained to try to keep Gao Xiaodong.

Although Gao Xiaodong is not in Italy, he is very aware of everything that happened in Italy. Gao Xiaodong is secretly glad that he has hid in the United States, but at the same time he feels that he is really unworthy of the love of Inter Milan fans.

News of Gao Xiaodong's request for a transfer also reached the ears of Inter Milan's new head coach Benitez.

This made Benitez very shocked and angry. Gao Xiaodong is the core of Inter Milan. Benitez is willing to come to Inter Milan to coach in large part because of the existence of Gao Xiaodong. If Gao Xiaodong leaves, Benitez What a waste of coaching.

After that day's training, Benitez called Gao Xiaodong to his room and tried to persuade Gao Xiaodong to stay.

However, Gao Xiaodong's decision to transfer to Manchester United was carefully considered. Even if Moratti personally retained him, it would have no effect, let alone the head coach Benitez. Gao Xiaodong expressed his apology to Benitez, but he believed that he had already done so. Inter Milan did everything he could do and hoped to win new championships in other leagues, so he chose to leave.

Although Benitez is a little worse than Mourinho and Ferguson, he is also a world-class coach. Of course he does not believe Gao Xiaodong's lies. He believes that Gao Xiaodong, who is said to love money as much as life, will never be such a romantic. , if Gao Xiaodong plans to leave, someone must have given him a higher annual salary, or Inter Milan may have dissatisfied Gao Xiaodong.

Benitez asked again and again, but Gao Xiaodong refused to say anything. Benitez had no choice. He and Gao Xiaodong were not familiar with each other, so he had to call Inter Milan chairman Massimo Moratti and ask him to keep Gao Xiaodong no matter what. If Gao Xiaodong is not retained, he cannot guarantee Inter Milan's results.

Moratti is still doing the work for Gao Xiaodong's parents, hoping that Gao Xiaodong's parents can persuade Gao Xiaodong to stay at Inter Milan, but Gao Xiaodong's parents can't control Gao Xiaodong at all, even if Moratti promises to give them money, it is useless.

Gao Xiaodong's parents could not help Gao Xiaodong, and Benitez called to urge him, so Moratti had to go to the United States in person to persuade Gao Xiaodong.

Arriving at the hotel where Inter Milan was stationed in Philadelphia, the tired Moratti didn't even bother to rest and went to Gao Xiaodong's room.

Gao Xiaodong lives in a separate room. Only Gao Xiaodong and Zanetti live in a single room in the Inter Milan team.

All other players have to share a room, including head coach Benitez and assistant coaches.

Gao Xiaodong was not surprised to see Moratti. He had guessed that Chairman Moratti would personally try to persuade him to stay, or at least make a phone call to persuade him to stay.

Moratti's first words after meeting Gao Xiaodong were, "Xiaodong, did Mendes instigate you to leave Inter Milan?"

Gao Xiaodong smiled bitterly, "Chairman, I want to leave."

Moratti actually knew that Gao Xiaodong probably wanted to leave, but he just didn't give up, but he still asked nonsense, "Why?"

Gao Xiaodong said implicitly: "I thought about it for a long time, but finally decided to leave because after winning the Triple Crown, I lacked motivation and freshness."

Gao Xiaodong meant that he had no motivation and freshness at such a young age, and the veteran players were probably more serious. However, Moratti did not think carefully about Gao Xiaodong's words, "Tell me, Xiaodong, what will it take for you to stay?" "

It was difficult for Gao Xiaodong to answer this sentence, because he said that Moratti could not do it. Saying it was purely embarrassing and embarrassing for both parties. Gao Xiaodong said: "Last season, I promised Coach Ferguson that under the same conditions, I was going to Manchester United, I ended up at Inter Milan, and now I want to fulfill my promise to an old man."

Moratti said: "Does Inter Milan have no chance at all?"

Gao Xiaodong nodded slowly.

Moratti sighed and said with self-pity: "I am not someone who can share adversity and wealth. Inter Milan won the Triple Crown. I hope that you heroes will stay at Inter Milan forever, so this year Materazzi, Cole Doba and others have stayed with their original salary, but why are you and Mourinho so eager to leave? It’s as if Inter Milan has become a boat filled with water. I really don’t understand people like you.”

Gao Xiaodong couldn't bear to see the dejected look of this world-class rich man. If it weren't for the superstar system that stipulates that only by winning the five major league championships can he become a restricted superstar, he might have agreed to stay, but now, he can only Can pretend not to hear anything.

Moratti muttered to himself for a while and then said: "Xiaodong, you are the hero of Inter Milan's winning of the Triple Crown. I hope you will stay at Inter Milan forever, but since you are determined to leave, I can't create obstacles for you. It's just Now Inter Milan fans are trying to keep you because you are leaving, and our season ticket sales are much less than before. Inter Milan really can't bear the pressure of selling you, so if you leave, you can only activate liquidated damages. "

Mendes asked Manchester United to quote 79.99 million euros, but he did not want to activate the liquidated damages. Unexpectedly, because the Inter Milan fans reacted too strongly, Moratti had no choice but to refuse to accept the transfer fee of 79.99 million euros and let Manchester United activate the liquidated damages.

Gao Xiaodong was determined and said calmly: "Chairman, just activate it. I have to go."

Moratti sighed and said: "Let's go, I wish you the best. Ferguson is a good coach. Under him, you will become the best player in the world."

Gao Xiaodong looked at the kindest chairman in history, sighed, and said sincerely: "Thank you, chairman."

"I want to thank you. Genius will eventually conquer the world, just like an eagle conquers the entire sky. Let's go. I will visit you again when you win the Golden Globe Award."

Moratti gave Gao Xiaodong a hug and turned to leave.
