Chapter 914 It Doesn’t Matter if You Don’t Want It

"Mr. Ed, thank you very much for your kindness, but now that the team has enough reserves in all positions, there is really no need..."

"No, no, no, Best, you have to know that both the fans and the board of directors want to see the team become stronger, even on paper."

"But Manchester United is very strong now."

"Pavard, Fabinho, Lucas, Van Dijk, Bernardo Silva... maybe they will become superstars in the future, but Manchester United is not Southampton, not Arsenal, not Tottenham. We need to train them Superstars, but you also need to buy superstars!”

"I don't think this extremely cost-effective approach makes sense. Manchester United does not need to follow the superstar strategy..."

"Best, you have to know that Manchester United is a listed company and we need to give shareholders confidence!"

Sun Wu grinned, what kind of thing is this, forcing me to spend money!

Next to them, Mike Phelan and Rolf both lowered their heads and suppressed laughter. They were really two weirdos. The CEO forced the head coach to spend money to buy people, and also specified that he must buy superstars.

The embarrassed Sun Wu looked up at the ceiling, "Mr. Ed, you should know... I have very high requirements for players. In other words, it's hard to say whether the so-called superstar can catch my eye... I don't want to See the next Shevchenko.”

Woodward, who didn't know much about football, was stunned, and the assistant beside him immediately explained in a low voice.

The "nuclear warhead" Shevchenko was one of the best centers in Europe. When Mourinho did not need a center, Abramovich spent 50 million euros to buy it and gave it to the Magic Bird.

As a result, Shevchenko, who had won the Champions League Golden Boot the year before, was like a helicopter in decline... He did not score more than 10 goals in the two seasons combined, and Chelsea also missed the championship for two consecutive years.

"Best, the club will increase youth training exchanges with Chinese clubs. If everything goes well, you can even buy two more young Chinese players." Woodward thought for a while and waved his hand, "So, regarding superstars, you only need to mention Just a list, anyone can do it!”

"Really anyone can?" Sun Wu glanced over, "I want Messi."

The corner of Woodward's mouth twitched, "Best, everyone dreams of traveling in space when they were young..."

Rolf and Mike Phelan next to them finally couldn't help laughing, and the office was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"Alright alright,

Let me think about it..." The pen quickly hovered at Sun Wu's mouth. He thought for a while before saying: "The defense has Van Dijk, Alderweireld and Phil Jones, plus Rojo and Michael. ·Keane is already overcrowded.

Midfielder Fabinho, Herrera, Kante, Fletcher, Lingard, Milner, plus me... the competition is more intense, among which Lingard and Milner may have to play guest roles on the wing. Get playing time.

The wingers include Mane, Shaqiri and Bernardo Silva, and Lingard, Milner and Rashford can also play, so... let's go to the center. "

Sun Wu turned to look at Woodward, "I'm sure Harry Kane is very good, but it's unknown when he will be able to activate his form, and Rashford is too young. Once the opponent sets up an iron barrel formation, Griezmann will It’s hard to have an effect if you put it on top.”

"A center?" Woodward became excited. "Sweden's Zlatan Ibrahimovic!"

"By the way, I haven't finished yet." Sun Wu added lightly: "The salary of the new players cannot break Manchester United's salary cap."

"Ibrahimovic may not be worth much, but he has high salary requirements. His annual salary at Paris Saint-Germain last season was 17 million euros, with a total weekly salary of 290,000 pounds." Mike Phelan immediately reported the relevant data.

Manchester United's current maximum salary is Sun Wu's 240,000 pounds, followed by Griezmann and De Gea's 180,000 pounds. It is a bit difficult to get Ibrahimovic to reduce his salary... this is a bit difficult.

Rolf added: "And Ibrahimovic's character... maybe there will be a fight in the training ground. Well, he has practiced Taekwondo!"

"Best has also practiced." Mike Phelan covered half of his face with his hands to hold back laughter.

Sun Wu glared at these two guys, stood up and said, "Mr. Ed, I have no objection to the introduction of superstars, because as the CEO, you need to consider more than me. My request is very simple. The weekly salary of the center should not exceed Salary cap, and there have never been any disputes like the one Ibrahimovic had at Barcelona before in his career."

Woodward nodded silently, mentally taking stock of the centers on the list handed over by his assistant before, including Lewandowski, Benzema, Diego Costa, Aubameyang, Cavani, and Aguero. …

…

When he returned to his office, he saw Pavard and Fabinho chatting on the sofa. Sun Wu called them to the lounge next door.

"How do you feel?" Sun Wu smiled and poured two glasses of water. "You should have guessed that I will temporarily lead the team in the new season."

Pavard and Fabinho looked at each other and laughed: "It's unbelievable, but we all watched the Champions League final."

Sun Wu laughed. After Pochettino was sent off in the Champions League final, his adjustments to the lineup and formation allowed Manchester United to successfully lift the Big Ears Cup. Related comments were very popular in the summer.

"It feels like Manchester United pays great attention to details. The nutritionist even requires us to have three meals a day at the club." Fabinho shrugged. "My favorite is Brazilian barbecue...but Mike said this is absolutely prohibited."

"Well, the nutritionist, team doctor, and physical trainer will provide each player with relevant recipes and training plans." Sun Wu explained briefly and then said: "Actually, what I'm asking is...how do you feel about the new position?"

After a brief silence, Pavard said: "It's not bad, but the rhythm and intensity on the training ground cannot be compared with the game."

"Indeed, I will give you time to adapt." Sun Wu took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Benjamin, if you play as a winger or a full midfielder, you can only say that you are quite satisfactory, but if you play as a full-back... you can become the next Liza. Raju.”

"Fabinho, you should have discovered the advantages and disadvantages of playing as a defensive midfielder. You have strong running ability, the ability to compete for the top, and the midfield dispatch is also good, but it is easy to be shaken. This has something to do with your high center of gravity. It has a lot to do with it.”

"So, you need more time to adapt. In this regard, Fletcher will become your dedicated mentor. Although he is in good shape, he will be 32 years old by the end of the year."

"Not being selected for the America's Cup... This is normal, Alves..." Sun Wu was also surprised that Alves, an evergreen tree, has been in such good shape, "But if you switch to a defensive midfielder, and Casse It’s hard to say who will win or lose in the Miro competition, but you are definitely an important member of the Brazilian national team.”

Fabinho nodded repeatedly, he knew very well how much Sun Wu valued him.

Schneiderlin has been sent away, and Kanter will become the main defensive midfielder.

And Herrera often becomes the counter in defense, and his exact position is Sun Wu's assistant.

Fabinho carefully checked Manchester United's starting lineup for every game last season. In those key games, Sun Wu preferred to use Fletcher instead of Herrera.

"But Benjamin, you are different." Sun Wu turned to Pavard, "Valencia and Ashley Young have left, you will be Coleman's first substitute, and Manchester United has too many games, I am not prepared for this season Give up the League Cup and FA Cup, plus the Super Cup and Club World Cup..."

"You and Coleman have completely different styles. He is tougher and more direct, and you are stronger at passing and receiving, and you have more options when advancing upfield."

Sun Wu emphasized: "In this transfer window, you have the lowest transfer fee among Manchester United's acquisitions, but I think you are also the most valuable deal. Therefore, I hope you can adapt to the Premier League as soon as possible and provide yourself to the team as soon as possible." the power of."

Pavard and Fabinho are both from Ligue 1, and they naturally bonded together after the transfer. They have a common evaluation of Sun Wu. Other aspects are unknown, but this is a relatively candid person.
