Chapter 687 Who do you want to buy?I want Li Rui!

Li Rui scored twice, Rooney scored a goal, Vidic also scored a header, and only Saha scored a face-saving goal for Everton. In the end, Manchester United beat Everton 4:1 away. Into the FA Cup final of the 2008-2009 season.

After the game, the English media gave Li Rui a high praise. They praised the Manchester United team with Li Rui, and the lethality increased by at least 50 percentage points.

The "Sun" is not without suspicion of creating friction. Compared with Cristiano Ronaldo and Li Rui, the biggest difference between the two is that Li Rui is more masculine on the court.

Scored twice in this game also put Li Rui in a good mood, and his mood has improved a lot due to the upset caused by the transfer these days.

When he got home, Li Rui had a headache, and Haishen was still smeared in Li Rui's ear. He urged Li Rui to transfer. After Ferguson talked with Li Rui and launched an emotional offensive, Li Rui was still very firm. Those who stay must stay at Manchester United for at least 3 seasons. However, under Haishen's repeated "fatigue bombardment", Li Rui's decision at a time when he hesitates is not too irrational.

***********
"I said buddy, are you tired?" Li Rui smiled wryly, "I have already promised Ferguson that I will stay, don't say any more, let me say it again, I can't break my promise."

Hai Shen smiled coldly and said: "Xiao Rui, you are such a pig, remember, you didn't sell yourself to Manchester United, let alone that old fellow Ferguson, and don't you think Ferguson is a bit selfish in this matter?" He clearly knows that the owner of the club wants to sell you. If you stay at Manchester United, you will definitely be disliked by the boss. He still wants to keep you. Yes, he is for the results of the Manchester United team. To put it bluntly, the old Scottish guy It is to win a few more championships before retiring, but has he considered you, 24 to 28 years old, is the best time of a player's career, you have already won almost all of them at Manchester United Champion, do you still have motivation here? I don't believe it, you haven't thought about accepting new challenges."

***********
"But I am the second captain at Manchester United now, and I will be the captain and the leader in the future." Li Rui was still stubborn.

"Pull it down, don't deceive yourself, after Ferguson retires, you will be sold out by the Yankees, shit captain, besides, with your current fame and strength, you are the absolute core of any team, Why be angry at Manchester United."

Seeing that Li Rui was silent, Hai Shen decided to add fire, "You are a human being, not a commodity, nor a slave. You should have your own rights and wishes. Don't think that you are sorry for Ferguson if you leave Manchester United. There is no need for that. The old Scottish man bought you at a high price because of your strength, and you have helped Manchester United win so many championships. You are worthy of Ferguson. Moreover, if Manchester United sold you for a large price, the funds , and enough for Ferguson to rebuild a super team."

"Do you think Ferguson treats you very well? Don't talk about Ferguson. If I were the head coach of a team with players like you, I would have to treat you better. To put it bluntly, in private I call Your brother is fine, as long as you can help the team score goals and help me win, understand?" Haishen's mouth seemed to be firing from a machine gun, full of firepower.

Li Rui really wanted to use a roll of tape to sew Haishen's mouth shut, because what this guy said was straightforward and rude, but it seemed that he really meant it.

***********
Li Rui rubbed his temples, "I didn't say I wouldn't transfer, didn't I say that if a team can pay the liquidated damages, Ferguson will let me go."

Hai Shen really wanted to slap Li Rui, he could see it, because of the chilling behavior of the club, Li Rui wanted to leave, but it was because of the emotional offensive by that old Ferguson, who made him retire after three years The emotional drama ended up coaxing Li Rui, who is very emotional, to "soften his heart" and agreed to stay.

"Liquidated damages, 5000 million pounds?" Hai Shen asked with slanted eyebrows.

"Yes." Li Rui sighed, he thought, no one can afford the liquidated damages, he wants to stay at Manchester United, if Li Rui betrays his promise and tells Ferguson that he wants to leave, Li Rui can't do it, although, he I also know that my own thoughts are silly in the modern football where commercialization and the smell of money are getting stronger and stronger, but this is Li Rui, the emotional Li Rui.

"5000 million pounds, is it a lot? I believe there must be clubs that are willing to pay this liquidated damages, do you understand?" Haishen said with a smile. In Li Rui's opinion, this smile had a hint of conspiracy.

"Really?" Li Rui didn't say anything. He didn't think that someone would pay 5000 million pounds to buy him.

***********
On April 2009, 4, the 26th round of the Premier League is about to usher in a focus game.

Manchester United hosts Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford in a game that was highlighted by a bloody first-leg clash at White Hart Lane this season in which Li Rui was badly fouled by Woodgate and left the field with a serious injury. The scene where Li Rui's right leg was shoveled by a shoe spike and blood spurted from the hole became the bloodiest moment in world football in 2008.

However, just the day before the start of the game, an explosive news immediately detonated the entire football world.

The owner of Manchester United's rivals Manchester City, Sheikh Mansour of the Abu Dhabi consortium, was very dissatisfied with Manchester City's performance this season. Mancini will be the head coach of Manchester City.

And just this morning, Mancini, who arrived at Manchester Airport, faced the reporter's microphone and uttered his first sentence about the idea of ​​the Manchester City team, which shocked everyone, "If I can do it in the summer transfer market If I sign the players I want, I will write 100 names on that list, they are Li Rui, Li Rui, Li Rui..."

The reporter of "BBC" faced the camera lens at Manchester Airport and did not hide his shock and excitement. His slightly moving lips shouted hoarsely, "Chief Mansur, Mr. Mancini's wish, have you heard it? Will you grant his wish?"

The "Times" columnist Steinberg quickly wrote a succinct report on the spot. The title of the report was, "Highest alert-storm in Abu Dhabi!"

***********
For a while, people even distracted Li Rui's revenge battle against Tottenham Hotspur, just because, after Mancini said what he said at the airport, Manchester City owner Mansour A close friend of the Sheikh, Suleiman Al-Fahim, CEO of Hydera Assets, and also the intermediary for the acquisition of Manchester City by the Abu Dhabi consortium, said bluntly in an interview with ESPN, "Mansour's Li Rui's Super fan, he dreamed of bringing Li Rui to the Manchester Municipal Stadium, and now, his chance has come!"

Here's the chance? !
Before people could figure out what was going on, the "Daily Mirror" once again broke the news that the Glazer family was in an unprecedented financial crisis, and had long thought of pushing Li Rui into the transfer market, but this idea was in the Coach Ferguson's strong opposition failed to implement it.And this also aroused Li Rui's strong dissatisfaction, and even made Manchester United's No. 10 feel disheartened to leave Old Trafford. Moved by the offensive, he agreed to stay at Manchester United, and the Glazer family also agreed that unless someone can come up with Li Rui's liquidated damages of 5000 million pounds, they will not force Li Rui to sell again.

If Li Rui saw this report in the "Daily Mirror", he would be surprised to find that it was impossible to write this report without a real insider on the matter. The reports of the previous "Daily Mirror" are obviously operated by people with intentions behind the scenes.The purpose is obvious, that is, to convey a message to the outside world through the "Daily Mirror".Li Rui is no longer for sale, he can be sold, but at least 5000 million pounds, the Glazer family in the quagmire of debt crisis can't wait to sell Li Rui for an extra price!

***********
"Daily Mirror" even told some fans who don't know the owner of Manchester City to understand the rich man, using the style of troubadour, telling the net worth of the rich man from the Abu Dhabi consortium——

He, an Arab, walking on Hyde Road in London, to you, he is just a stranger; but to Manchester City fans, he is Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Hayan— — One of the richest and most powerful people in the world, he's an oil tycoon, he's a rich man, he's the owner of Manchester City.He bought Manchester City Football Club with hundreds of millions of pounds of firepower, which suddenly dwarfed Abramovich.Yes, he's a 'many, many billion dollar man', how much money does he have?He has more money than Bill Gates, J? K? Rowling, the Queen and Roman Abramovich combined.Dear Sheikh Mansour, who comes from the royal family of the UAE in the Middle East. His brother is the ruler of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. His family wealth is 1000 billion US dollars (550 billion pounds). He is the poor owner of Manchester City who only has money left.

***********
As the tabloid with the largest circulation in England, "The Sun" also followed up immediately, and they did not fall behind. They produced a comic with the title of "Battle for Li Rui". In the comic, Li Rui was made into The golden statue is being auctioned, and a group of bigwigs are bidding for it——

Holding up the £7000m sign was Chelsea CEO Peter Kenyon; his face was ugly as Inter boss Moratti immediately held up the £8000m sign.

Florentino didn't hold up the signboard, and his reserve price was half hidden, and the words [-] million pounds could be vaguely seen.

The owner of the Manchester City team, Sheikh Mansur, is tasting red wine. His beautiful personal assistant is holding a handful of cards, which are 2000 million pounds, 3000 million pounds, 4000 million pounds, and 5000 million pounds. [-] million pounds, Chief Mansour is thinking, accompanied by the lines, 'Damn, do you want to pay [-] million liquidated damages directly?Smash these bastards to death! '

***********
Rumors are faster than viruses. The previous news that Li Rui might leave Manchester United did not spread much. Even though the media reported that Li Rui’s agent Rodriguez met with Florentino, it was later because Manchester United announced that Li Rui Rui was not for sale, Li Rui came out and said that he would not leave Manchester United and died down. Most importantly, Florentino did not come out to say anything, and this one-man show could not continue.

However, this time, the new Manchester City coach Mancini, who was personally chosen by the wealthy Manchester City owner Mansour, the first player name he said was Li Rui, and a close friend of Sheikh Mansour also expressed his opinion on the oil tycoon For Li Rui's love, I think of Manchester City's madness last summer, and think about the courage of the Abu Dhabi consortium that is not short of money. When the end of the season is still a month away, about the heavy weight of Manchester City's request to buy Li Rui The news went off like an atomic bomb in the transfer market.

After the news came out from the UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, and the entire European football world were talking about this news, that is, will Li Rui transfer?
Moreover, the insider in the "Daily Mirror" analyzed the matter of Li Rui's transfer. Old Trafford away!
***********
The nose of journalists is always the most sensitive. Before the Manchester United club expressed any views on this matter, reporters from "The Times", Reuters, and French "L'Equipe" followed up and went to the Carrington training base in the morning. Li Rui, who was training, stopped Li Rui at the entrance of the base.

Li Rui seemed a little surprised. He didn't know about the statement from Manchester City. In order not to be upset, Li Rui has been sleeping since last night, watching the previous game video, and shutting down his mobile phone.Jessica flew back to China with her son in the morning. It was Li Rui's father Li Haisheng's birthday. Li Rui had no time to go home, so he asked his wife to bring his son back to China. Therefore, Jessica didn't know about it and didn't inform him. Li Rui.

In the face of the reporter's question, Li Rui did not hide anything, and told the reporter directly that he did have an agreement with the head coach Ferguson, and he would only transfer unless a club could pay 5000 million pounds in liquidated damages.

***********
"Does this mean you have decided to leave Manchester United?" a reporter asked.

This made Li Rui a little angry. He replied bluntly, "If I have no feelings for Manchester United and want to leave, do I have to agree to this condition? Do you think that someone will really pay the price of 5000 million pounds?" Can it be done? If I want to leave Manchester United, it will be much easier."

That reporter was disgusted by Li Rui's words, but the other reporters nodded their heads one after another. Well, if Li Rui wants to leave Manchester United, he just needs to make a fuss and leave.

"How do you plan to respond to Mr. Mancini's invitation?" asked the reporter of L'Equipe.

"Mr. Mancini is an excellent coach. He won two Serie A titles at Inter Milan. It's a great honor to hear him appreciate me. However, don't talk to me about the transfer. This is the club's business. I am now I just want to play well. I love the fans here. My goals can bring them happiness. This is my happiest. I play for the fans, not for anyone else. And I stay in Manchester United, because I love it here, I have fans who like me here, the teammates are good, and most importantly, Alex is like my father."

Although Li Rui's words can also be understood as rejecting the invitation of the Manchester City people, the reporters, who have become sophisticated, still heard a hint of taste from Li Rui's words. Li Rui said so much, leaving There are so many reasons, but it has also been exposed that the relationship between Li Rui and the top management of the Manchester United club is really not harmonious, and there is even a rift. It seems that this is really the case. Ferguson's persuasion is the reason why Li Rui stayed.

***********
"Mr. Li Rui, can you tell me that Manchester United still has two titles left this season: the League and the FA Cup. If you could choose, which one would you choose?" asked the reporter from The Times.

"I want both. The desire to be a champion is the best stimulating hormone for the players!" Li Rui replied coolly.He has figured it out now, fuck it, don't worry about the transfer, play well, use the championship to vent his depression. To be honest, Li Rui suddenly feels that if someone is willing to pay 5000 million If you buy yourself with the pound, it's good if you can transfer and leave.

First of all, since he has the money to spend 5000 million pounds to buy his own, he will not be short of money. Li Rui doesn't have to worry about being sold for cash because of the club's financial problems. This was the case when he was at Leeds United. The same is true for Manchester United. The club owner has no money, so he puts his idea on Li Rui. Li Rui is forced to transfer. He has no choice. He is fed up.

With a rich boss, these wage earners who play football feel at ease.

What's more, Hai Shen 'brainwashed' Li Rui every day, and Li Rui felt that he had won all the championships at Manchester United, and maybe he would be more motivated in a new environment.

Another point, if there is a club that bought out the liquidated damages and bought out Li Rui, then Li Rui no longer needs to feel guilty about the old man in Scotland. To be honest, in the modern football society, Li Rui and Ferguson It is already very good to be able to do this with each other.
