Chapter 720: Jersey No. 10

The physical examination was not difficult for Gao Xiaodong. His body had been strengthened with a super nutrient solution. He was so strong that Gao Xiaodong was afraid that he was too strong and would be suspected by Manchester United's doctors.

After the physical examination, it was getting late. Glazer, the owner of Manchester United, hosted a banquet for Gao Xiaodong and Mendes, accompanied by the club's senior management and head coach Ferguson.

Although Magsim. Glazer had a stroke three years ago. He was not very mobile and was not suitable for drinking. However, he came in person and toasted Gao Xiaodong three times with drinks.

At the banquet, Manchester United and Gao Xiaodong mainly discussed the issue of Gao Xiaodong's jersey number.

Despite Gao Xiaodong's high-sounding words to reporters, as if he really doesn't care what jersey he wears, in fact Gao Xiaodong is determined to win the No. 10 jersey.

Although No. 7 is a legendary number, it also has considerable significance in the history of Manchester United, including George Best, Bryan Robson, Cantona, Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and other Manchester United's most outstanding players. Superstars have all owned the number 7 of the Red Devils, but Gao Xiaodong's goal is not only the legend of Manchester United, but the number 10 that symbolizes the king of football, the number 10 worn by Maradona and Pele.

However, Rooney has not decided whether to transfer or not. If the No. 10 jersey is directly given to Gao Xiaodong from Rooney, it will be equivalent to driving Rooney away directly.

For now, Rooney is worth about 70 million in the transfer market. However, if Rooney is sold, it will be difficult for Manchester United to buy someone of the same strength to replace him. Even if he buys it, running-in will be a problem, so Manchester United still hopes to keep him. Next Rooney.

How to get the No. 10 jersey without irritating Rooney while keeping Rooney is a difficult problem.

Glazer coughed, stood up with the help of his assistant, and said seriously: "It is related to the internal affairs of the team. In fact, I shouldn't interrupt, but David, Sir Alex, Gao's No. 10 jersey , in fact, it is not related to Gao's personal preference, but also to the business operation of the team. We all know that behind Gao is the vast Chinese market. What Chinese fans love most is No. 10, a little Dong Gao with No. 10. It will make Chinese fans feel more proud, but other numbers obviously cannot achieve this effect, even the great No. 7."

After hearing Glazer's words, Gao Xiaodong felt secretly happy and thought to himself, a world-class rich man has such a high level of speaking skills that our little selfish desires will become a major matter related to the team's business operation in his mouth.

Mendes secretly praised the Jews for being so smart and understanding consumer psychology to such an extent. Indeed, Gao Xiaodong, No. 10, and Gao Xiaodong, No. 7, are definitely different in the minds of Chinese fans, but Glazer is more That being said, Mendes is happier because Manchester United is also anxious because Gao Xiaodong can't get the No. 10 jersey.

Mendes smiled and said: "Mr. Magsim is right, Xiaodong will sign the contract tomorrow. I heard that more than 60,000 people will come to the Old Trafford Stadium to watch Gao Xiaodong's appearance. If Gao Xiaodong cannot wear it tomorrow, No. 10 jersey, I think the sales volume of the jersey will be much lower, which will not only affect the team's income, but also affect Gao Xiaodong's popularity."

Glazer said: "Sir Alex, the No. 10 jersey is now worn by Rooney. You and Rooney are like father and son. Apart from you, I am afraid no one can solve this problem. Just worry about it."

Ferguson wanted the people and spent the money. Of course, Ferguson had to solve the problems.

Although Ferguson knows this is a difficult problem, he has a duty to shoulder it.

Ferguson laughed and said: "This is a small matter. Xiaodong is now a player that is being sought after all over the world. Manchester City has offered an annual salary of 17 million euros, but Xiaodong came to our Manchester United. This is a huge happy event. No. 10 The jersey must be given to Xiaodong, I will take care of this matter, and I will talk to Rooney later."

Gao Xiaodong said: "In this case, thank you Sir."

Ferguson looked at Gao Xiaodong and felt happy,

It was as if Cristiano Ronaldo was back by his side again, he laughed and said: "Don't call me Sir Alex anymore, just call me BOSS like other players."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Thank you, BOSS. I'm still young and I offended my teammates in the past two years. Please take care of me in the future and don't let others bully me."

"Okay, that's no problem. We have your fellow Asian guy Park Ji-sung on the team. You can communicate more with him."

Ferguson agreed wholeheartedly, but he was thinking in his heart, among the geniuses I coached, Beckham is handsome, Ryan Giggs is handsome, Keane is ruthless, Cristiano Ronaldo is arrogant, Rooney is stupid, but you are the one who is cunning and ruthless, and can also pretend. If you act like a fool and let others bully you, it would be fine if you don't bully others.

Gao Xiaodong said: "I must ask him for more advice, don't worry."

After the banquet, Gao Xiaodong, Xiao Le, and Mendes went to Manchester United's royal five-star hotel, the Laurie Hotel, to rest. Ferguson went directly to Rooney's mansion in Cheshire.

Along the way, Ferguson was thinking about how to tell Rooney this number.

Regarding the competition for jersey numbers, there have been many good talks and interesting stories in world football, but once they are not handled well, they turn into jokes and conflicts.

When Baggio joined Inter Milan, his favorite number 10 was owned by Ronaldo. Ronnie immediately said: No. 10 can be sold, but I must wear No. 9. Therefore, the Chilean Zamorano was forced to give up the number 9 to the aliens, Baggio wore the number 10, and Zamorano wore the number 18, and there was a pity between the two numbers. plus sign.

After Ronaldinho joined Milan, his jersey number has always been a concern for fans. AC Milan's No. 10 jersey belongs to Seedorf, who refused to give up the No. 10 jersey after Ronaldinho's arrival. In desperation, Ronaldinho could only choose the No. 80 jersey.

If the above method of handling is used, it is conceivable that there will definitely be conflicts within the team.

Seeing Ferguson coming, Rooney quickly took Ferguson into his home. He thought Ferguson was here to negotiate a contract extension with him.

Ferguson met Rooney and said directly: "Wayne, the boss is here today. After signing Gao Xiaodong, the boss overdrafted a lot of money and planned to sell you and give your No. 10 jersey to Gao Xiaodong."

When Rooney heard this, he became furious and said: "What, I haven't transferred yet, now I have to give away my jersey. No, I would rather not transfer. My No. 10 jersey will never be given to that Chinese."

Ferguson sighed: "Gao Xiaodong is a smart man. He is afraid of offending you, so he will not do it. I also told the boss that Wayne has been working hard at Manchester United for 6 years, defending from the front to the back. Even Ronaldo can't compare to Rooney. Without Rooney, how would Ronaldo have won the Ballon d'Or?"

Rooney was elated by Ferguson's words and said: "Ronaldo is still capable."

Ferguson suddenly said seriously: "But, Wayne, have you considered it at all? Gao Xiaodong now has a vast Chinese market behind him, with a population of 1.5 billion. The boss will not give up. I'm worried that he will forcefully take your If you grab the jersey and give it to Gao Xiaodong, then you will be embarrassed."

Rooney said angrily: "If he dares to do this, I will transfer him immediately."

Ferguson sneered: "Wouldn't it be embarrassing for you to transfer? What's the difference between that and an ostrich burying its head in a fool?"

Rooney slapped the table and said, "What should we do?"

Ferguson said: "Actually, there is another way to get the best of both worlds."

When Rooney heard this, he asked anxiously: "What should we do?"

Ferguson said: "In this case, isn't Owen wearing Manchester United's most important jersey, No. 7? I advise Owen to give you the No. 7 jersey first, and then you take the initiative to give up the No. 10 jersey to Gao Xiaodong. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Rooney said: "I voluntarily give up to Gao Xiaodong. Wouldn't that be more embarrassing?"

Ferguson said: "You want to wear the No. 7 jersey, not the No. 10 jersey. But Owen is old and no one will laugh at him if he gives up the No. 7 jersey for the benefit of the team."

Rooney was stunned by Ferguson and felt that this was indeed a good solution. It would be really embarrassing if he was forcibly stripped of his jersey, so he agreed.

Ferguson convinced Rooney and then came to Irving's house.

The 31-year-old Irving came from Liverpool to his rival Manchester United. His status in the team is not comparable to that of the native Class of 92, even compared to Rooney, Carrick and others. Ferguson threatened and lured him. Irving could only take the initiative to give up the No. 7 jersey.
