Chapter 304 Manchester United Changes Ownership

With a 2-0 victory at home, Atletico Madrid also defeated Udinese with a total score of 3:1 and successfully entered the Champions League semi-finals.

Udinese's stop in the quarterfinals also means that all Serie A teams will be wiped out in the European competition this season.

In the other three matches, Bayern Munich eliminated Benfica with a total score of 3:2, and Manchester City also eliminated Paris Saint-Germain with a total score of 3:2.

Of course, the most eye-catching matchup is the showdown between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The first leg of the game at Camp Nou was Suarez's personal show. The Uruguayan striker scored twice to help Barcelona defeat Real Madrid and push the Galacticos into a desperate situation.

However, after returning to the Bernabeu Stadium, the second leg of the game became Bruno's national team captain Cristiano Ronaldo's personal show. Real Madrid's leading striker scored a hat trick in the game, helping the team defeat Barcelona with a score of 3:2 and reach the Champions League final again after a year.

Ronaldo's hat trick also allowed him to overtake Bruno and top the Champions League scorer list this season with 16 goals, and he is likely to have locked in the Champions League Golden Boot this season.

After the quarter-finals, Ronaldo led the Champions League scorer list with 16 goals, followed by Bruno who scored 14 goals.

Except for the Portuguese double star, the other players have not scored in double figures. Suarez, Lewandowski and Muller ranked third with 8 goals.

Among these three people, Suarez's Barcelona has been eliminated, and the number of individual goals naturally cannot continue to increase. As for Bayern where Lewandowski and Muller belong, although they are still in the Champions League, with their scoring efficiency, it is almost impossible to score 8 goals or more in at most three games. zero.

What's more, Cristiano Ronaldo's Real Madrid has also entered the semi-finals of the Champions League, and his number of goals is not set in stone.

In fact, the Real Madrid star is very likely to break the Champions League single-season record of 17 goals held by him and Bruno this season.

………………

Although they lost, Udinese quickly got out of the woods. After all, losing to Atletico Madrid was something that I had been mentally prepared for.

After returning to Udine, the team began to actively prepare for the 33rd round of Serie A.

But at this time, an earth-shattering earthquake broke out in European football.

On the evening of April 15, 2016, the Premier League giant Manchester United officially announced that it had changed ownership. The American wealthy Glazer family, which had been in charge of the Red Devils for 11 years, sold the cash cow. The new owner of the Red Devils is Jassim, a member of the Qatari royal family.

In fact, this deal started in August last year. After a long tug-of-war that lasted nearly nine months, the Glazer family finally chose to let go and handed the Red Devils into the hands of Jassim.

According to the well-known British media "The Times", the transaction is as high as 6 billion pounds, equivalent to 8.46 billion US dollars, or 7.56 billion euros!

When they bought Manchester United 11 years ago, the Glazer family spent less than 800 million pounds, of which the Glazer family's own money was less than 300 million pounds!

In 11 years, with profits exceeding 20 times, the vampire family has made a huge profit!

With Jassim's successful acquisition of Manchester United, it also means that Manchester United will be privatized again.

Jassim's business representative also announced that Petroleum Capital will inject capital into the team, which will not only repay all the team's debts, but will also invest no less than 200 million euros in the transfer market this summer.

………………

Since Manchester United's competition tasks this season have not yet ended, Jassim's team did not announce immediate adjustments to Manchester United's management team and coaching team, but allowed them to continue to perform their duties until the end of the season.

This also means that the Manchester United management team headed by Ed Woodward and the Manchester United coaching team headed by Louis van Gaal will continue to lead Manchester United.

However, Manchester United is currently only ranked sixth in the Premier League with one game less, and has little hope of qualifying for next season's Champions League.

As for winning the championship, Manchester United has no theoretical hope. Because with only 6 rounds left in the league, they are already 19 points behind the leader Leicester City!

In addition, Manchester United also defeated West Ham United in the rematch of the just-concluded FA Cup quarter-finals and entered the FA Cup semi-finals.

The FA Cup is also the tournament that Manchester United has the most hope of winning this season. After all, the other three teams Everton, Crystal Palace and Watford cannot be Manchester United's opponents under normal circumstances.

………………

In fact, Bruno got the news that Manchester United would change ownership even before the whole world.

On the night when Udinese regretfully returned to Udine from Madrid, Bruno received a call from Jassim, saying that he had successfully won Manchester United and asked him to wait to go to Manchester United in the summer.

Although Jassim vowed early on that he was absolutely sure to win Manchester United, when this matter actually became a reality, Bruno still had an unreal feeling.

Because in another time and space, until the moment he traveled through time, Jassim had not been able to buy Manchester United from the Glazer family.

Bruno didn't know how things would develop after he traveled through time, but in this time and space, Manchester United changed hands in advance.

And he will basically join Manchester United in advance this summer.

With these changes, Bruno doesn't know where Manchester United will go in this time and space. But one thing is certain, that is, he will definitely participate in Manchester United's changes as an experiencer, and even lead Manchester United's changes!

………………

On the afternoon of April 17, Friuli Stadium.

In the 33rd round of Serie A, Udinese's home game against Chievo has begun.

Chievo has performed well this season. After the first 32 rounds of the league, it ranked tenth and was only 4 points less than the Europa League zone. It has the hope of competing for a Europa League qualification.

However, the flying donkey still can't stop Udinese, who is determined to hit the league championship.

In this game, although Bruno was targeted by Chievo, Bruno now is no longer eager to score. After all, he has created his own Serie A historical goal record, and he feels like he has no desire.

Of course, it doesn't mean that he really has no pursuit, but he is no longer so obsessed with scoring.

Bruno now wants to do two things, one is to lead Udinese to defeat Juventus and win the Serie A championship; the other is to help Di Natale surpass Totti and become the current top scorer in Serie A.

At present, Di Natale has scored 14 goals this season and a total of 242 goals in his career, leaving Totti only 3 goals behind.

In addition, Di Natale is only 6 goals away from 20 goals in the season. If he can score 20 goals again this season, he will tie Nordahl's record of scoring at least 20 goals in seven consecutive seasons in Serie A.

The Swede played for AC Milan for a total of eight seasons in his career. Except for the 1948-1949 season when he joined, because he only played 15 games and scored only 16 goals, the next seven seasons all scored more than 20 goals, including crazy performances of 35 goals and 34 goals in the 1949-1950 and 1950-1951 seasons respectively.

Since Di Natale scored 20 goals in the 2009-2010 season, he has scored at least 20 goals in six consecutive seasons.

If he scores 20 Serie A goals again this season, he will become the second player in Serie A history to score at least 20 goals in seven consecutive seasons.

In the game, Bruno actively attracted defensive attention for Di Natale on the one hand, and actively passed the ball to Di Natale on the other hand, helping the Udinese captain score twice in the game.

And Udinese finally defeated Chievo with a score of 2:0, and the points reached 85 points after 33 rounds, continuing to lead the Serie A standings with a 6-point advantage.

………………

Due to the European Cup in the summer, the schedules of major European leagues this season have been compressed to varying degrees.

Although Udinese currently only has the Serie A game task, they still have to face the situation of two games a week under the compressed schedule.

On the evening of April 20, Udinese continued to play at the Friuli Stadium to face Fiorentina, the sixth in the standings.

In this round of games, Di Natale was rested. The 38-year-old veteran really couldn't cope with the schedule of two games a week.

In the game, Bruno assisted Duvan Zapata, who was in the starting lineup in this round, to score in the 2nd minute, and then in the 53rd minute of the game, he launched an attack, and Vidmon assisted Tero to score, helping Udinese to surpass the score again.

In the end, Udinese beat Florence 2:1 at home.

On the evening of April 23, the first game of the 35th round of Serie A was played. Udinese visited the Meazza Stadium to challenge the Nerazzurri.

Inter Milan had a good start this season, but the results fluctuated in the middle, and the ranking once fell outside the European war zone. However, when the season was coming to an end, their state began to recover, and the ranking also rose to the current fifth place, with the hope of competing for a ticket to the Champions League play-offs.

Udinese once got a dream start in the game. Bruno assisted Di Natale to break Inter Milan's goal in the 9th minute, but Inter Milan equalized the score in the 36th minute by Jovetic.

After the start of the second half, Bruno launched an offensive, Badu assisted Di Natale to score, and Udinese once again surpassed the score.

However, Inter Milan, who was determined to qualify for the Champions League, broke out with strong fighting power. Jovetic scored twice in the 75th minute and equalized the score for the second time. And Eder, who came on as a substitute, scored in the 95th minute to help the Nerazzurri kill Udinese.

Since Juventus defeated Fiorentina 2:1 away in this round, after the 35th round of Serie A, Juventus has narrowed the gap with Udinese to only 3 points, and has an advantage of 8 goals.

With only 3 rounds left in Serie A, the suspense has suddenly become greater!
