Chapter 633: Li Rui's Era
PS: Li Rui should have scored 11 goals in the European Cup. I made a mistake in the previous chapter. I apologize to everyone here.My younger sister is getting married, and Xiaoqi is in his hometown these days, and these days are regularly updated, and I only saw it after I came back yesterday.

***********
At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Rui was stretching on the balcony. He could hear birds chirping in a small park behind the villa. Someone was walking a dog, and the dog was barking. It was a Welsh man named Fei Sinan, a wealthy Chinese businessman. Corgis, short-legged dogs, have big buttocks when running, very cute.

After the European Cup, Jessica returned to the United States with her children. Without the hostess, the home seemed empty. Li Rui took a deep breath of the morning air, and kept the feeling of loneliness aside. He told himself that it was A new beginning, the beginning of a new season.

Today is the day when the new season of the Manchester United team gathers. Li Rui ate breakfast made by the new chef, changed into a sportswear, ran around the park a few times, and greeted everyone he knew and did not know, but speaking of it Now, there should be no one in England who doesn't know Li Rui. As the biggest contributor to England's first European Cup in history, it is not an exaggeration to describe him as a household name in this peninsula.

After running for two laps, Li Rui was sweating. Li Rui wiped off his sweat, closed his eyes, and stretched intoxicated.

A beautiful morning, he is so looking forward to this new season.

***********
After the European Cup, no one will have any objection to putting the title of "the world's number one striker" on Li Rui.

In fact, when Li Rui helped England win the first European Cup in history, the media in England trumpeted that world football had fully entered the "Li Rui Era". Manchester United defended the European Champions Cup and helped England become the king of Europe in the summer. It was the first time to stand on the top of Europe. The English media also began to "follow the public opinion" to advocate, whether it was Manchester United or England, They have all entered the "Li Rui Era". In the next five years, Manchester United will remain the most terrifying giant in European football, and it can even be said that they have begun to have the ability to dominate Europe. As for the England team?After Mourinho announced his stay, to win the world championship in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, in the eyes of almost all England fans, this is almost the only task!

The entire British peninsula is full of such excitement, extreme optimism, and complacency. Of course, this is nothing, after all, the whole of Europe is being trampled under their feet at this moment!

***********
And Li Rui's reputation at this time has reached a peak since the beginning of his career. Even the "Sun News", a rival with Li Rui who has always had a bad relationship, doesn't say anything bad about Li Rui.

Just think about the day when the England team returned to England with the Delaunay Cup, on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, Li Rui held the Delaunay Cup high above his head like a prince's crown. In the scene of thunderous cheers, any media or individuals who tried to say bad things about Li Rui wisely kept their mouths shut.

Even the most famous racial discrimination group in the UK temporarily gave up its ridicule and criticism of Li Rui's Chinese identity during this period, because the chairman of this group had to pretend to be a fake when he welcomed the England team as a special guest at Buckingham Palace I would like to congratulate Li Rui and thank Li Rui for his contribution to English football.

***********
Of course, this does not mean that there are no reports about Li Rui in the media. On the contrary, after the European Cup, the reports about Li Rui are overwhelming:
When Li Rui's popularity and influence reached the highest point in his career, naturally, the transfer news surrounding Li Rui became the biggest attraction immediately after the European Cup.

Real Madrid's pursuit of Li Rui is not news for a long time. At present, Calderon, who is seeking re-election support, has assured the directors of Real Madrid that he will do everything possible to bring Li Rui to the Bernabéu Stadium.

"Yes, this is not a rumor. We are indeed very interested in Li Rui. In fact, you cannot be indifferent to such a great shooter. Real Madrid should of course have such a great player." Calderon said For once there was nothing to hide at all.

The stark overtures of the Galacticos were matched by waving checks, with rumors that Real Madrid offered Manchester United a whopping £8000m, tempting the already deeply indebted Glazers.

***********
But what happened next made the Glazer family resolutely reject the offer from the Madrid giants. This is not because the Glazer family really listed Li Rui as "not for sale", but because of the increase in buyers. The waist of the Yankee who seized the business opportunity has become much tougher.

Barcelona has joined the competition for Li Rui. According to the "News of the World" report, Barcelona has officially intervened in the competition for Li Rui. Although this seems to have the meaning of disrupting the good things of Real Madrid, of course, the Glazer family will not Care, there are many buyers, of course they are happy to see.

Since then, Inter Milan, AC Milan, the resurgent Juventus, Chelsea, and even Liverpool, which is deeply in debt crisis, and Bayern Munich, which has rarely spent sky-high prices to intervene in the transfer market; Rui's name is linked together.

According to the media reports in England, it seems that Li Rui has become the reddest cherry on the most coveted cake this summer, and may be taken by a wealthy lady at any time.

Coupled with the greed of the Glazer family, many Manchester United fans are worried that the Americans will cash out Li Rui to repay huge debts.

***********
All of a sudden, outside the Carrington training base, Manchester United fans gathered from time to time to protest that the club would sell Li Rui. The plan to push Li Rui into the transfer market, Li Rui is not for sale at Manchester United, but, given the nature of the American boss's pursuit of interests, Manchester United fans do not believe it.

As for Li Rui himself, he has repeatedly stated that he will not leave Manchester United. He still has a contract with Manchester United. He is very happy in Manchester. However, this only reassures Manchester United fans, but does not completely relieve Manchester United fans. Fans know that now that commercial football is becoming more and more profit-seeking, the personal wishes of players are no longer the fundamental factor in determining the development of the situation.

***********
All this did not come to an end until the godfather of Manchester United, that old Scottish man named Alex Ferguson, stood up and spoke.

"Li Rui will not leave Manchester United. If you want to sell Li Rui, you must step on my dead body." These are the original words of Ferguson.

With these words from this irascible godfather, overnight, all the transfer rumors about Li Rui disappeared, and the media began to bombard the description, the biggest transfer soap opera of the summer, with Li Rui staying in the Manchester United declared the end of the show.

"The Times" revealed that before Ferguson said these words, the old Scottish man and the American boss had a whole afternoon of talks in a hidden villa in London. When the villa came out, he faced the camera and said those words.

No one knows what made the Glazer family give up their attempt to cash out Li Rui, but everyone knows that the Scottish old man is the most powerful force in stopping this transfer, which may be the most sensational transfer in the history of international football !
***********
The Glazer family was very dissatisfied with Ferguson's insistence on not agreeing to sell Li Rui. Given the tough attitude of Manchester United's godfather, the Americans also had to consider the possibility of forcibly selling Li Rui at the risk of offending Ferguson, which might lead to the greatest resistance from Manchester United fans. , finally chose to compromise and took Li Rui off their cash-out list.

However, Ferguson kept Li Rui, and the price he paid was not small. The American owner has decided not to find another summer to invest in any transfer funds. If Ferguson wants to buy someone, he must first sell the player and raise money funds.

This also made Ferguson Ferguson, who originally admired Tottenham Hotspur's Bulgarian striker Berbatov, had to temporarily give up the acquisition, and could only sell the players in the team first.

Sylvester finally bid farewell to Old Trafford. To everyone's surprise, Ferguson agreed that the French veteran turned to his arch-enemy Arsenal. Manchester United only received a symbolic £80 for the transfer. transfer fee.

Then there are Simpson, Cathcart, Kieran Lee, Mike Lee, Jones, Seaton, these players between the first team and the second team, or are loaned out, or allowed to transfer freely, Manchester United The weight loss is in progress.

To the surprise of the media, Manchester United gave up ownership of the young teenager Iggers, who was once considered the successor of Beckham and Ryan Giggs. I think it is the most worthy of the big job. Now, he has gone to Burnley, and the transfer fee is 120 million pounds.

In addition, Pique moved to Barcelona for £800 million, and the Spanish defender returned to his dream Camp Nou.

Calculated in this way, Ferguson only earned a total of 1000 million pounds for cleaning up the players, which also made Manchester United look stretched in the transfer market, not to mention Berbatov's transfer fee of more than 3000 million pounds, the English media ridiculed, these The money is only enough for Ferguson to buy a Bulgarian leg.

***********
Therefore, when the other three teams in the traditional semi-finals of the Premier League began to recruit, Manchester United has never made any movement in terms of buying players.

For Chelsea, Deco came to Stamford Bridge from Barcelona's Camp Nou at a price of 800 million pounds.

In addition, Porto's Portuguese defender Bosingwa came to Stamford Bridge for £1200 million.

According to the media, the arrival of the two main players of the Portuguese national team was hand-picked by Portugal's coach Scolari.

In terms of transfers, the most sensational thing about Chelsea is that Shevchenko was loaned back to AC Milan. After leaving San Siro, the Ukrainian nuclear warhead lost its previous domineering. This time it returned to the place of former glory. What will be the performance.

Shevchenko went to AC Milan, while Chelsea's other big-name striker, Argentine veteran Crespo, went to Inter Milan on a free transfer.

In addition, Wright Phillips, who was not able to be brought to the European Cup by Mourinho, realized that if he continued to dawdle at Chelsea, he would definitely be useless in South Africa two years later. Therefore, Manchester City spent 900 million pounds to buy back Wright Jr.

***********
As for Arsenal, after paying a symbolic £80 to get Sylvester, they spent another £500 million to get Welsh midfielder Ramsey from Cardiff City. After Bale, Wales' latest winger to emerge.

Wenger expressed his welcome to Ramsey's joining: "I am very happy to sign for Arsenal. Although Ramsey is a young player, he has shown great potential in Cardiff City, Wales U17 and U21. Potential. Although he is only 17 years old, he has always shown that he is an intelligent and mature player with potential. Although he is a midfielder, he is versatile and can also adapt to defensive positions. We are always watching and welcome He became one of us." Ramsey was very happy to join Arsenal and expressed his hope to become Arsenal's Giggs, but he didn't know if the words of this little guy born in the 90s would make Arsenal fans I feel a little awkward.

Another acquisition by Arsenal is to spend 1200 million pounds to bring Nasri, the talented midfielder of the French Marseille team, known as 'Little Zidane', to Arsenal. This acquisition also makes Wenger very happy.One more thing to add is that just as there are several "new Basten" in the Netherlands every year, and "new Rossi" in Italy every year, there are several "new Zidane" in France every year. As for Nasri Whether he can become a real 'Zidane-style' star, the French are looking forward to Wenger's sculpting efforts.

Nasri is here. According to Wenger's principle of balance of payments, if there is an entry, there must be an exit. The Belarusian midfielder Hleb moved to Barcelona for 1120 million pounds.

In addition, Hoyt also brought Arsenal an income of 400 million pounds. The England defender went to Middlesbrough.

***********
Among the semi-finals, the biggest money came from Liverpool, which is said to be in debt crisis. Robbie Keane transferred from Tottenham Hotspur to Anfield Stadium, and his transfer fee was 2000 million pounds.

In addition, the transfer of Italian defender Dossena from Udinese to Liverpool for 800 million pounds also shows that the Red Army wants to do something big in the new season.

In terms of transfers, Crouch went to Portsmouth with a value of 1300 million pounds. According to the valuation of "Full Market", the 'Bamboo Pole' was only 800 million pounds before the European Cup. England won the European Cup. Crouch There were two chances to come off the bench in the European Cup. Among them, the header ferry assisted Li Rui, which also increased his worth a lot. In the end, England aspired to Europe, and Crouch's worth reached 1300 million pounds.

The English media also joked that speculating in stocks, futures, and gold is not as good as speculating in England internationals. After winning the European Cup, the value of these guys has generally increased by 1200%, and some players have even doubled their value, such as Arsenal’s Volko. In particular, the little tiger was worth about 2500 million before the European Cup. Now, if you want to buy Walcott, there is no [-] million pounds, and the professor will not look at you at all.

***********
Just when the media is guessing when Manchester United's first acquisition this summer will come.Manchester United also started this summer's commercial game tour.

This is also the requirement that the Glazer family agrees not to cash out Li Rui, Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney and other big-name players in the team, that is, Manchester United's commercial competition this summer cannot be lost due to lack of preparation time after the European Cup. give up.

In a word, the American boss gave up selling people to cash out, so let's earn a little bit from the business competition.

For Manchester United to choose so many commercial games in the European Cup year, English football experts call it a suicidal behavior. The European Cup has exhausted the big-name international players in the team. However, the players did not get any rest at all before the European Cup. It can be said that before this training camp, most of the stars in the Manchester United team were very tired physically. , across the Atlantic to North America, across the Pacific to Asia, this is simply irresponsible for the new season.

"Manchester United will definitely pay for the 'bad consequences' brought about by their commercial game in the new season!" Manchester United legend, Trinidad and Tobago star Yorke said.

***********
North American Tour.

Manchester United 2:1 Los Angeles Galaxy.

In this game, Li Rui VS Beckham was advertised as the biggest attraction, Americans who are not very interested in football were also "fooled" by many people, and there were nearly 7 people at the scene, which made the organizers quite happy. excitement.

Li Rui scored a goal with a wonderful long shot; Beckham scored with a free kick with the iconic full moon scimitar.

Manchester United beat LA Galaxy.

All these satisfied the organizers.You know, the gimmick they play is not the match between the captain of England and the world's number one striker. For Americans, it is no different from a cricket match in Haiti. No one will notice. The gimmick they played is the hot girl Victoria's husband VS Jessica Alba's husband.

It seems that the effect is good, and the 7 people on the scene are the evidence.
