Chapter 656 Mr. 5000 million pounds!

Regarding Manchester United's 3:2 away game against Arsenal, the "Times" commented after the game: "Magic night! Magical night! Judging from the state of both sides before the game, Arsenal playing at home is obviously better than Arsenal. Manchester United, they are strong and strong. As for Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo is still absent due to injury. The status of Li Rui's return from injury in this game is unknown. In addition, Owen was injured, so Ferguson had to transfer the Italian teenager Macheda from the reserve team to enter the game. The progress of the game also proved Arsenal's advantage. In a rainy game, Arsenal took the lead twice. However, Gallas's stupid behavior ruined Arsenal's good situation. Li Rui's two goals Ball, very great, he told everyone that there is no doubt about his state!"

This is puzzling and unforgivable. After the game, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger himself could not explain Captain Gallas' emotional out of control.After the game, he said: "I really don't know what to say. No one expected that such a thing would happen to Gallas. He is a good man. This is a lesson for Gallas."

Helpless Wenger and the Arsenal club said that if the FA imposes a penalty on Gallas, the club does not intend to appeal.It's not that Wenger doesn't want to appeal. However, Gallas's behavior is seen by everyone. If he appeals, he may be punished with a more severe punishment. relative understanding.

***********
In addition, after the game, Wenger told the media, "I will still trust Gallas, but William (Gallas) will no longer be the captain of the team."

Arsenal's official website also announced on the front page that Spanish star Cesc Fabregas will become the team's new captain. young captain.

***********
When talking about that game, Arsenal's new captain Cesc Fabregas said: "This night was black. Manchester United (twice equalized the score) did an almost impossible thing. We made a mistake. Lots of mistakes. But the season goes on. We will prove ourselves again in the league."

As for being able to become the second youngest captain in Arsenal's history, Fabregas said that he dreams of one day being a member of players like Arsenal's legendary captain Adams. It’s exciting, and I’m going to work hard for it.”

***********
The "Daily Mirror" even ranked Li Rui in the Premier League half-time best team one and a half months in advance. Of course, there is also a reason for the "Daily Mirror"'s preference. He was in poor form for several rounds and failed to score a goal. Only after the away game against Chelsea did he start to break the scoring shortage. He was also plagued by injuries and missed two more rounds of the league.

However, as the "Daily Mirror" commented, "Li Rui, who has found his form, will always be a well-deserved NUM1! Even if he is not so healthy. (Referring to Li Rui's injury in the game against Arsenal Stick to the game, and scored his second goal in the game, reversing the lore Arsenal.)
And the two goals that Li Rui scored in this game were also frantically downloaded by fans on major sports video websites, and the number of downloads exceeded 100 million, making these websites also make a lot of money.

***********
Italy's "Gazzetta dello Sport" even joked: "Even if you don't consider that Li Rui helped Manchester United defend the European Champions Cup, and don't consider that Li Rui helped England win the Delaunay Cup, just look at these two goals and break the score. Li Rui is eligible for the European Golden Globe Award for his performance after the ball shortage."

When Li Rui was interviewed after the game, he expressed his loyalty to the Manchester United team in a high-profile manner, but this still could not stop other giants from coveting the world's number one striker.

According to the "All Market" report, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Chelsea, Inter Milan, Juventus, AC Milan, Bayern Munich, and almost including the list of most of the giants in Europe, they have all joined the list in the hope that they will be able to move forward. Li Rui took this difficult task in their respective teams.

Among them, the rich and powerful Real Madrid is now in civil strife. Real Madrid chairman Calderon has shown signs of resigning from get out of class. However, Calderon, who has internal and external troubles, is not willing to sit still. During the winter break, Li Rui was brought to the Bernabéu Stadium. Even if Real Madrid still got nothing this season, he can temporarily gain the understanding and support of the fans.Therefore, Calderon has made up his mind to transfer to Li Rui in the winter to launch the most violent gold dollar offensive in history. Although Li Rui has played the Champions League on behalf of Manchester United, he can no longer play the Champions League on behalf of Real Madrid. Calderon and Real Madrid didn't mind either, they put on the posture that they must win for example.

***********
As for Barcelona, ​​although Ronaldinho's state has declined and he has conflicts with the club chairman, the growth of the Argentine teenager Messi has also given Barcelona a new core. Their desire for Li Rui is not enough. So eager, the reason why he joined the ranks of buying Li Rui is to disturb Real Madrid's game, of course, if he can really bring Li Rui to the Nou Camp, Barcelona will definitely welcome him .

And Barcelona captain Carles Puyol also named Li Rui, and hoped that the club could bring Li Rui to the Nou Camp, and believed that Li Rui and Messi's partner would be the greatest attack in the history of Barcelona. combination.

***********
As for Chelsea, the desire for Li Rui is also very strong. Scolari told the boss Abumovich that Li Rui is a player who can bring Chelsea the Champions League!Perhaps, when Abumovich heard this, he would feel very familiar, because the same thing, two years ago, Mourinho had mentioned to him more than once that Abumovich was no longer there when he first arrived at Chelsea. The arrogance of spending a lot of money did not throw the checkbook at Manchester United.However, Abumovich must regret it now, because Li Rui's worth has risen from more than 2003 million pounds in 3000 to no less than 2008 million pounds in 7000.

Moreover, for 7000 million pounds, Manchester United may not necessarily sell it.Ferguson knew that there were at least several giants that could afford 7000 million pounds. However, the only team with Li Rui was Manchester United. Such a player could no longer be measured by money.

***********
In addition, when Inter Milan coach Benitez was in charge of Liverpool, he was also deeply hurt by Li Rui. According to the "Gazzetta dello Sport", Benitez told Moratti when he came to the Meazza Stadium. The first player's name is Li Rui.

Moreover, it is said that AC Milan and Juventus have also coveted Li Rui for a long time.Especially Juventus, which is to be rebuilt, needs a superstar like Li Rui.

Of course, other giants also know that Ferguson will not push Li Rui into the transfer market. Their idea is on the American owner of Manchester United. The Glazer family is in debt to acquire Manchester United. Interest has long been no secret, as long as the bid can impress the Glazer family, they believe that taking Li Rui away will not be just a dream.

The Glazer family is becoming more and more optimistic about Li Rui's value. Seeing that many wealthy families have launched an offensive against Li Rui again, they are confident.

***********
On the afternoon of returning to Manchester from London, the Manchester United team trained at the Carrington training base.

During the training break, the club owner George Glazer came over. The American owner greeted Li Rui warmly and congratulated him on scoring twice in the match against Arsenal to help the team win a very good game. A key victory, and told Li Rui in jerky Chinese that Li Rui helped him win 'MIAN-ZI' from the Arsenal chairman.

Li Rui replied with a smile, saying that it was the result of the hard work of the whole team.

George Glazer nodded, and then nodded to the other players, saying: "Last season, we defended the Champions League title, we were the European champions, this is a great season, and this season, the team's goal It is even more ambitious, and I hope that everyone can achieve greater results with the team."

George Glazer patted his chest with a smile and said that the club has prepared a checkbook and will distribute bonuses to the players when the time comes.

Li Rui smiled, looked at the owner George Glazer, who was ridiculed by the media for being ignorant of football, and said emotionally: "The greatest era of Manchester United depends on you."

***********
It is rare for the boss to come to the team's training and show such enthusiasm and excitement. The players are also very happy and express that they will play football seriously.

George Glazer patted Li Rui on the shoulder and said, "At the end of the season, I will give everyone bonuses and treat you all to a big drink." He knew that there was no need to be so polite when talking to the players. To put it bluntly, it is the players' favorite.

Sure enough, when the boss said that, everyone laughed happily.Such a boss looks pretty good.

***********
Li Rui is also very happy. It can be seen that the American owners seem to be paying more and more attention to the team. This is good news. After all, no one wants the team to be in turmoil. Only when the team has sufficient food and wages can everyone play with peace of mind. Ball, to fight for honor for the team and yourself.

After the training, Li Rui was planning to drive to London, where his wife Jessica and the Beckhams were waiting for him.However, Li Rui received a call from his agent Rodriguez, and the contract renewal negotiations with Manchester United Club have progressed. This time, the club took the initiative to renew his contract and sign a new contract.

***********
The Glazer family has also realized that even if they want to sell Li Rui for a sky-high price in the future, they must create a posture that Manchester United will not sell Li Rui for money, so that they can occupy a position in possible future negotiations. initiative.

And this gesture is undoubtedly the most direct way to renew the contract with Li Rui.

Moreover, the Glazer family still hopes that Manchester United can win as many championship honors as possible, which can also increase the market value of Manchester United.

Therefore, after Li Rui expressed his sincerity for Manchester United to the media, the Glazer family also decided to make some gestures to stabilize Li Rui's heart.

***********
Li Rui's previous weekly salary was 13 pounds, which was the highest in the Manchester United team. After Li Rui helped Manchester United defend the European Champions Cup last season, Li Rui's agent Rodriguez proposed to the Manchester United club. To raise Li Rui's salary to 15 pounds a week, Manchester United did not agree. They also knew that a salary increase was inevitable as the team's performance was getting better and better and they were defending the European Champions Cup. However, , the club is only willing to raise Li Rui's salary to 14 pounds.

After receiving the reply from the Manchester United Club, Rodriguez was not in a hurry. He and the Manchester United Club slowly negotiated and negotiated. After more than a month, Li Rui scored 11 goals in the European Cup, creating a European Cup single-term record. The new ball record helped England win the Delaunay Cup in a historic way.

Rodriguez smiled.

***********
On the second day after Li Rui helped England reach the top of Europe, the Manchester United club received a call from Rodriguez and put forward a new request for Li Rui's contract renewal. This time, what he proposed was that Zhou The salary is 17 pounds.

At this moment, Manchester United was dumbfounded. They wanted to lower the price before, but they did not expect that Li Rui's performance on the first European Cup trip was so miraculous, breaking Platini's 24-year scoring record and creating He broke the record of scoring 11 goals in a single session, and most importantly, helped England reach the top of Europe. Now, Li Rui's worth and influence have reached a peak.

Of course, Li Rui's influence is getting bigger and bigger, which is also a great publicity and promotion for the Manchester United club itself, and it is of great help to the commercial market development of the Manchester United club. However, at the same time, Li Rui's salary Also became a problem again.

***********
The weekly salary of 17 pounds proposed by Rodriguez can be said to be the highest salary in world football today. However, for Li Rui, the 'world's number one striker', it really can't be considered so outrageous.

Manchester United's sales of Li Rui's jerseys and the direct or indirect economic benefits obtained from Li Rui's influence are worth at least tens of millions of pounds.

Of course, the purpose of businessmen is to seek profit, and players are equal to wage earners. If wage earners want to raise wages, the boss is definitely not that happy.However, what makes the American owner of the Manchester United club unhappy is that if he had known the current situation, before the end of last season, he had renewed his contract with Li Rui with a weekly salary of 15 pounds, so it would not be as troublesome as it is now.

Now, Rodriguez insists on a weekly salary of 17 pounds, because as Li Rui's agent, he certainly knows how many teams want Li Rui now, and the rich clubs that keep close contact with him will not let him down. at 5.

***********
This time, the Manchester United club finally let go of Li Rui's contract renewal. They took the initiative to call Rodriguez and agreed to a weekly salary of 17 pounds.

Therefore, Li Rui received a call from Rodriguez, telling him to sign a contract extension.The issue of Li Rui's contract renewal is left to Rodriguez. He doesn't ask questions. This is also a common practice among stars. The agent negotiates instead of negotiating with the club in person. This can avoid conflicts with the club. Moreover, the club I also know that in negotiations, players are wage earners and clubs are owners. Negotiations on salary increases are normal, and generally they will not really break with players because of contract matters, it is just a matter of discussion.

Li Rui had no choice but to call Jessica and inform her that he would go to London later because he was going to sign a contract extension with the club.And asked Jessica to tell the Beckhams that they would arrive later.

***********
Li Rui met Rodriguez first, so he had to understand clearly first.From Rodriguez, Li Rui learned that Manchester United agreed to a weekly salary of 17 pounds. However, the club has an additional request, which is to increase Li Rui's liquidated damages to 1 million. GBP.

Obviously, the purpose of Manchester United voluntarily agreeing to Li Rui's salary increase is obvious.They mainly wanted to increase the liquidated damages in Li Rui's contract. It turned out that Li Huan's liquidated damages were 9000 million pounds. Yes, but as Li Rui's performance is getting better and better, he is the winner of the European Ballon d'Or, the World Footballer, the Champions League scoring record, the European Cup scoring record holder, the European champion player, these honors, It is no longer safe to let the liquidated damages of 9000 million pounds.

Therefore, Manchester United decided to increase Li Rui's liquidated damages.In this way, the Glazer family will take the initiative in possible future negotiations. Although in football transfers, almost no one is forcibly robbed according to the liquidated damages, the liquidated damages are also a reference after all, and are binding. .

***********
The club agreed to a weekly salary of 17 pounds, which surprised Li Rui a bit, but of course Li Rui couldn't wish for it, it was what he deserved, and there was nothing embarrassing about it.

As for the club’s modification of the liquidated damages, he doesn’t care. Anyway, he doesn’t plan to leave now. As long as he doesn’t want to leave, the liquidated damages are meaningless to him. Therefore, after hearing Rodriguez relay these negotiating requirements, Li Rui thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

After talking with Rodriguez for a while, Li Rui and Rodriguez rushed to the Carrington training base. The contract renewal negotiation took place directly in the VIP hall of the players club at the Carrington training base.Today is just a draft of contract renewal. If there are no problems, Li Rui can sign it. The draft also has certain legal force. In a few days, the club will invite major media from all over the world in advance at an appropriate time. The grand contract renewal ceremony, these are Rodriguez relayed the club's request, the club wants to create momentum on the issue of Li Rui's contract renewal.

Li Rui naturally didn't have any opinion on this. He was used to this kind of behavior to create momentum.

For Li Rui, what he thinks now is that after the contract renewal, he himself has no worries and can play in Manchester United with peace of mind. I believe that once the new contract is announced, no team will invite him to join again. Alright.After all, 5000 million pounds is the sky-high price in the history of football. The combined value of all the players in a top team is probably less than 5000 million pounds.

Li Rui doesn't think there will be a team willing to pay 5000 million pounds to buy him, let alone 5000 million pounds, [-] million pounds is unimaginable.

***********
In Li Rui's view, the biggest significance of the liquidated damages of 5000 million pounds is to show the media and other giants teams a look. Bar.

Of course, because it was a contract extension, Li Rui not only raised his weekly salary to 17 pounds, but also raised his liquidated damages to 5000 million pounds. His contract was also extended to 2011. Originally, Manchester United wanted to renew Li Rui's contract until In 2013, this was the longest long-term contract allowed and recognized by UEFA, a five-year long contract, but Li Rui only wanted to sign for three years, and Manchester United had no choice but to agree to Li Rui's request.

In addition, Li Rui also received a tip - a signing fee of 50 pounds.This is also an open secret in European football, but players like Li Rui have a signing fee of 50 pounds, and there are not many such superstars in international football.

After initialing the renewal contract, the Manchester United club first transferred the signing fee of 50 pounds into Li Rui's account, and Li Rui then transferred the money to the account of the domestic foundation. It is the fifth time to donate to the Wenchuan earthquake-stricken area. Before that, Li Rui announced a donation of 100 million pounds to the Wenchuan earthquake-stricken area. Later, when he learned of the number of victims of the earthquake, he felt very sad and learned about the tragic situation of the Wenchuan earthquake through various channels. He has donated 120 million pounds of supplies to the disaster area successively. Adding the 50 pounds this time, he has donated a total of 280 million pounds to the Wenchuan earthquake-stricken area. This is also the Wenchuan earthquake-stricken area. Among the donations received, personal donations are the highest .

***********
After leaving the Carrington training base, Li Rui immediately drove towards London, where his wife Jessica and the Beckham family were waiting for him.

Judging from what Victoria expressed and what Jessica told him, the Beckhams wanted to join forces with Li Rui and his wife to carry out a super plan.
