Volume 1: When Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention. Chapter 66: Manchester United’s Gamble (Second Update with Guarantee)

When Liverpool panicked, Manchester United did not seize the opportunity. Nacho wasted several opportunities, which made the commentator of Manchester United TV in the commentary box exclaimed and sighed again and again.

Every Manchester United fan is anxious.

They know that Liverpool cannot continue to be so panicked. They are a team that has won 14 Premier League titles and 14 Champions League titles.

If you can't take the lead before they react, once they wake up... they will be in big trouble!

After all, Manchester United still failed to firmly control their destiny in their own hands. The weakness of the lack of a strong center was fully exposed. Although they had many opportunities, they were never able to knock on Liverpool's goal.

Liverpool also began to feel reassured after discovering that Manchester United was just a paper tiger.

Liverpool, no longer panicked, began to fight back.

After Chen Yingxiong received the support of his teammates, he was full of firepower.

He showed Solskjaer what it means to be a "powerful center who can really score" and the gap between him and Nacho is as huge as the sky.

Liverpool scored on their first threatening attack. The person who scored the goal was Chen Yingxiong.

Looking back at Nacho, he had so many opportunities before, but failed to grasp any of them - but he worked hard and was the most active every time he moved. This can only be said to be a problem of talent, and the problem of talent is the most unsolvable problem.

Liverpool's goal destroyed Manchester United's psychological defense.

Before Chen Yingxiong scored, no matter how many opportunities Nacho wasted, the Manchester United players were full of hope. Always thinking that maybe they can score a goal at the next chance. As long as they equalize a goal, they can regain the initiative...

Now that Chen Yingxiong scored the goal, all his illusions were wiped out.

Being three goals behind put Manchester United on the ropes.

Or a dead end.

What lies ahead of Manchester United is a dead end.

※※※

In the end, Liverpool beat Manchester United 2:0 in the away game. They eliminated Manchester United with a total score of 4:0 and advanced to the semi-finals.

This leaves them with only two games left before the finals.

This result makes Liverpool fans happy. They are very satisfied to be able to see such a wonderful performance from Liverpool in the last season of their hero's retirement.

And Manchester United is brewing big moves.

As soon as the game ended, Solskjaer found Manchester United's club owner Grant Leonard.

Glazer has sold Manchester United, and now Manchester United belongs to this American named Grant Leonard.

However, Manchester United fans are used to this kind of boss change. No matter who is the boss, the main thing is to buy people with money.

Leonard only took over Manchester United three seasons ago. After changing coaches frequently. He followed the advice of others and invited Solskjaer.

Solskjaer's coaching performance is not very outstanding, but he trained Nacho and gave him a lot of points. Coupled with his high status in the hearts of Manchester United fans. Therefore, his leadership position is stable.

Anyway, Manchester United has not won a championship in so many years. Everyone has become accustomed to it from the initial anger and unwillingness.

So even if he is still empty-handed this year, considering this is Solskjaer's first season, Leonard will not fire him.

as far as I can tell. The relationship between the two is still in the "honeymoon period".

Leonard is always willing to comply with Solskjaer's requests.

He is a newcomer, and he wants to use his friendly attitude towards the old people of Manchester United to close the distance between himself and Manchester United fans and win the favor and support of Manchester United fans.

This is the right time for the head coach to make a request.

Solskjaer is here to ask Leonard to provide more transfer funds this time.

He has already thought about it. It can currently work for Manchester United, and Manchester United still has a chance to grab it. There is only the young Brazilian center Amoruso.

Although Amoruso resents the comparison between him and Chen Yingxiong, it is undeniable. His style is really similar to that of Chen Yingxiong who just debuted.

Manchester United currently lacks the attraction to those talents and superstars, so they have no choice but to spend money on them.

Solskjaer believes this is the only thing Manchester United can do.

It has only been three seasons since the boss changed. The boss is still ambitious, somewhat ambitious, and his financial strength is acceptable. He can get the money.

Manchester United's three consecutive defeats to rivals Liverpool in the Champions League and the league is also the best reason - look at what a brilliant future Liverpool has brought to them when they spent 70 million to poach Chen Yingxiong.

I can’t bear to let my child catch the wolf. How similar is Amoruso to Chen Yingxiong back then? It's just a matter of spending more money. As long as you can successfully recruit Amoruso, are you still worried that you won't be able to recoup your investment in the future?

Solskjaer told all this to his boss Leonard.

Leonard fell into deep thought after listening.

Solskjaer asked him to take out not 30 or 40 million, but a full 80 million!

And this is not the transfer budget for the entire team next season, this is just the money intended to be spent on Amoruso...

Thinking of this, Leonard felt a toothache. His money didn't fall from the sky, so these 80 million really made him hesitate.

It’s not that Leonard couldn’t afford the money, otherwise he wouldn’t have hesitated and refused directly.

The question now is whether 80 million can really exchange for a steady stream of championships for Manchester United?

If it is really possible, then Leonard will admit it.

He looked at Solskjaer in front of him: "Can you guarantee that?"

Solskjaer said in his heart that no one can guarantee this, but at this time he is asking for money from someone, and even if he cannot guarantee it, he must guarantee it, otherwise the money will not be available.

So he gritted his teeth and said bravely: "If it doesn't work, you can just fire me, Mr. Chairman."

Leonard said to himself that even if he fired you, he wouldn't be able to get back 80 million... But he didn't say that. Instead, he continued to express doubts: "Why can it only be him? I think there are many outstanding centers..."

This is a technical and tactical issue. Solskjaer feels more confident when talking about this. After all, this is an issue he has been thinking about for a week or two.

"Our problem is not just a center, this center must be strong enough. Only in this way can we form a tactical fulcrum in the frontcourt..." Solskjaer began to give the boss a football tactics lesson.

He tells Leonard why he needs Amoruso and no one else.

Because Amoruso can not only score by himself, but also enrich Manchester United's current offensive tactics.

At present, Manchester United relies entirely on Nacho to score goals. Once Nacho is marked, or restrained by the opponent's tactics. Then Manchester United just misfired.

In fact, Leonard listened to the too professional part of Yunshanwuhai.

He is not a boss who understands football very well, especially complex things like tactics.

However, he still heard the theme from Solskjaer's words. Key message: Manchester United must introduce Amoruso, only Amoruso can save the team's future.

Leonard is always a gambler, just like when he decided to buy Manchester United. At that time, Manchester United was no longer the only football club that had directly ranked first in profits every year. Many people advised him not to take over this mess from the Glazer family.

But Leonard believes Manchester United's foundation is excellent. Once they recover, they can still regain their glory, and their commercial value will soar rapidly.

So he decided to take over Manchester United.

Three seasons later, Manchester United still shows no signs of recovery. But the good news is that that damn old immortal Chen Yingxiong of Liverpool is finally retiring.

He, like everyone else, thinks that as long as Chen Yingxiong retires. Liverpool is no threat. Then the Premier League is dominated by several other strong teams.

If Manchester United is fully prepared by then, it is indeed very possible to rise again.

After all, in the current Premier League, Manchester United has the deepest heritage...

Thinking of this, Leonard decided to take a gamble. Amoruso is the most famous player in world football in the past year. The fastest rising player. He is naturally familiar with it.

Solskjaer named this person to buy, which shows that his vision is quite accurate.

He thought about it for a while and nodded: "Okay. I agree with you. Ole."

Solskjaer breathed a sigh of relief after getting this answer.

Amoruso is great though. He is a genius that the whole world is paying attention to. But after all, he has only been on the rise for a year and has only played in the Brazilian league and has never proven himself in Europe. Rich clubs are interested in him, but there are only a handful of people willing to pay £80 million for him.

He believes that as long as he spends this money, he should be able to immediately defeat other wealthy teams and obtain the ownership of Amoruso.

There is absolutely no way anyone would go crazy and spend 80 million on a player who has never proven himself in Europe. His madness was completely driven to a dead end.

As a long-established giant in Europe, perhaps the one that has failed the most is Manchester United today.

Because the contrast between them before and after is so great. It had always been the Premier League hegemon before. After being overthrown by Liverpool, Ferguson also ridiculed that Liverpool only had one league championship, while Manchester United had 14. Who would have thought that since then, Manchester United has been insulated from the league championship. For eighteen consecutive years, there has been no league championship. This is really rare in European football.

Last season was a great opportunity because Chen Yingxiong was suspended. But Manchester United did not expect that Chen Yingxiong would be suspended in the end. They lost too many points before and could not catch up in the end. They watched Arsenal snatch the championship from Liverpool...

※※※

After coming out of Leonard, Solskjaer still felt that something was not real enough - he did not expect that his boss would finally agree to such a risky plan.

But just agree to it.

He thought about what Manchester United's future would be like if he acquired Amoruso, and he suddenly felt full of hope.

We have two outstanding young people in Amoruso and Nacho.

Manchester United can definitely regain its glory!

When the time comes, as the coach who brings Manchester United back on track, I will definitely be able to leave a mark in the history of Manchester United. Just like the kick he played at Camp Nou!

He clenched his fists and was full of fighting spirit.

He will prove it to everyone next season. Failure this season will definitely become the cornerstone of Manchester United's future take-off! ! ~!
