Chapter 729: Scandal Breaks Out

The warm-up match against the Irish Stars is Manchester United's last warm-up match before the start of this summer's season. It is also the only warm-up match in Europe in Manchester United's 2010 summer warm-up plan.

Prior to this, Manchester United had played five warm-up games in North America and achieved a record of 3 wins and 2 losses. They defeated the Celtics 3-1, defeated Philadelphia United 1-0, lost 1-2 to the Kansas Wizards, and 5-0. 2 big wins over the Major League Stars. Lost 2-3 to Guadalajara, Mexico, the old club of Manchester United youngster Hernandez.

This warm-up match with the Irish Stars ended in a hearty victory. Manchester United swept the Irish Stars 9:1. Gao Xiaodong scored 4 goals, Rooney scored twice, and the two little fat guys shone brightly.

Although it was just a warm-up match and the opponent was not strong, Gao Xiaodong's strength has been clearly revealed. You must know that Gao Xiaodong is not a forward. As the commentator of Sky Sports said, even if Gao Xiaodong is placed at right back In the position, maybe Gao Xiaodong can also become a top shooter.

Rooney's strong performance also made Manchester United less willing to sell Rooney to rivals Chelsea and Manchester City. They would rather sell Rooney to Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, and Inter Milan.

Although Manchester United has always stated that it does not want to sell, according to media estimates, Chelsea and Manchester City, who are still seeking to buy Rooney, bid too low.

Chelsea is only willing to pay 5.5 million euros, and Manchester City is slightly higher, but only 6.5 million euros.

For a 25-year-old mature man who has never been in the top three of the Ballon d'Or, Manchester City's price is still good, similar to Ibkaka.

However, Sky Sports believes that Manchester United's psychological price must be at least 7 million euros to make up for the loss of buying Gao Xiaodong.

But for Chelsea and Manchester City, it is not cost-effective to buy a striker with no room for appreciation for more than 70 million, because after three years, the transfer value will shrink by at least one-third.

Manchester United's purchase of Gao Xiaodong for 8,000,000, although there is a risk of losing the money, Gao Xiaodong's immediate combat ability is here, and there is potential for appreciation. Buying Rooney for more than 7,000,000 is a real loss-making transaction.

When negotiations reached an impasse, Rooney's performance in the Community Shield final between Manchester United and Chelsea three days later became the key to his transfer.

The English Community Shield was formerly known as the Charity Shield. In March 2002, the British government pointed out in a report that the Football Association had violated the relevant regulations on the use of funds when using the income from the Charity Shield. The Charity Shield was later renamed the Community Shield.

The Community Shield Cup was founded in 19o8 and is hosted by the English Football Association. It is an annual tournament between the English Football League champions and the English FA Cup champions. If a team wins the double championship (sponsoring the English and FA Cup championships), the opposing team will be changed to the English runner-up. The game is held at Wembley Stadium as the opening match before the start of each season.

Manchester United is the team that has won the most Community Shield Cups, winning a total of 16 times. Although there was a curse in the UK before 2004 that if you win the Community Shield Cup, you will lose the league championship, but Manchester United broke the curse twice, so Manchester United did not Not afraid of winning the championship, Manchester United is also determined to win this Community Shield and strive to dampen Chelsea's morale before the start of the league.

As the protagonists of this Community Shield Cup, Rooney and Gao Xiaodong are also very actively involved in training, hoping to perform well in the game against Chelsea.

The preparations for the first day went as usual. In the group confrontation, Rooney performed well and scored a hat trick.

However, one night later, because of a report by the famous English tabloid "News of the World", English football and Manchester United exploded.

The British "News of the World" exposed that Rooney fooled around with a prostitute who charged 1200 pounds per session more than once in June last year when Coleen was pregnant. Over the course of several months, Rooney had sex with 21-year-old Jenny Thompson many times. Sexual relationship. Jenny also told the News of the World that Rooney also asked Jenny and her beautiful friend to fulfill his dream of flying together.

Then the "Sunday Mirror" also broke more news, saying that Rooney had visited a cheap brothel in Liverpool about 10 times, with "meat money" of 45 pounds each time. A group of "old friends" include the mother of six children, the 37-year-old black sister Gina who wears leather boots, and the 48-year-old grandmother-like aunt who goes by the nickname au1ds1apper.

Rooney was very flamboyant when visiting prostitutes, and once signed an autograph for a client waiting in the lounge. Once, a group of prostitutes sent a mobile phone message saying that Rooney was in a brothel. As a result, about 30 fans chanted their idol's name in the brothel. As for the most classic one, of course, when the police went to the brothel to check the cards, Rooney was still sleeping on the sofa despite the risk of being arrested and losing his reputation.

Later, the more authoritative British gossip newspaper "The Sun" confirmed that the scene of Rooney's "double sex" with a prostitute had been secretly filmed. And Rooney slept with 60 prostitutes in the 18 months before and after Coleen was pregnant. He also took 21-year-old prostitute Jenny Thompson to the family mansion for sex.

"The Sun" also reported Rooney's sexual privacy, such as low sexual ability, unique taste, like role-playing and so on.

More serious media like The Times and the Daily Mail did not follow up at first, but after seeing the tabloid reports, Rooney did not refute the rumors, so they knew that this was probably true, so they started to add fuel to the fire. The altar became lively again after Terry's friend wife gate.

Previously, Rooney claimed that his life had completely changed after having a child, creating an image of a good family man and a good father. This good image has won him many high-dollar sponsorships and endorsement contracts.

Now that these scandals have been exposed, the media and netizens have launched an outpouring of criticism against Rooney.

After learning the truth about Rooney's prostitution scandal, Coleen angrily left their 4.5 million pound villa with her son and returned to her parents' home. A close friend of Coleen said that Coleen said she would never forgive Rooney again and she wanted to Divorce Rooney.

Originally, Chelsea and Manchester City were rushing to buy Rooney, but after the prostitution scandal came out, fans of Chelsea and Manchester City expressed online that they did not welcome such players to their home teams.

Chelsea fans said that one Terry has brought the Blues into disrepute, and with the addition of a prostitute, they will not be able to say they are Chelsea fans in the future.

Manchester City fans expressed how a player who is not loyal to his wife and family can be loyal to his career. Referring to Ronaldinho, a player who drinks and gambles every day will definitely not be at his peak for too long.

Manchester United fans are also busy pushing Rooney away, saying that the transfer fee does not need 70 million euros now, and they can sell it at a 20% discount. If they pay 60 million, they will deliver it to their door immediately.

Manchester United did not dare to protect Rooney from doing such an outrageous thing. Head coach Ferguson hoped that Rooney would apologize to his wife and fans like a man and admit his mistake. He also said that considering Rooney's situation, Rooney would not be sent to play in the Community Shield.

England coach Capello hates players who reveal such scandals, so after the incident broke out, Capello said that he might not let him participate in the game against the Swiss team.

The prostitution scandal will not only affect Rooney's family and career prospects, but will also cause a huge blow to Rooney's business empire.

Rooney is one of the most commercially valuable stars in English football after Beckham, far ahead of Gerard Terry and other international players of his generation. The agent helped him contact a large number of sponsors, and Rooney earns 7.6 million pounds from image rights alone every year. In addition, he has also been able to obtain large sponsorships from companies such as EA Games and Coca-Cola. Last year, Rooney ranked 13th in the player income list published by "French Football".

The main reason why many sponsors are flocking to Rooney, who has a poor personal image, is because of Rooney's image of a good man who cares about his family and considers his wife. But now this impression is gone, replaced by a man who deceives his bedfellow and the whole world. The image of society as a hypocrite.

Although sponsors EA and Coca-Cola have stated that they will continue to cooperate with Rooney, no one knows whether this is just a stopgap measure. After all, after Woods' scandal broke out, although sponsors stated that it was Woods' personal incident and would not affect cooperation, major sponsors terminated their contracts with Woods not long after.

In short, Rooney, who was originally a hot commodity in the transfer market, turned into a street rat that everyone yelled at almost overnight. If he is not handled well, he may fall into a situation where his family is broken up and his future is ruined.
