Chapter 601 Retiring, Going Home and Staying

Kintag held a printed list of players in his hand, and his computer screen showed the team's main lineup, and he was currently lost in thought.

In fact, Jin Taige had already made plans regarding the contract renewal work, and now he just wants to think about it again, to see if there are any mistakes.

The players bought by Jin Taige himself are all in the early stage of the contract, and the contract period is still long, so they are not included in the contract renewal.

At present, there are many players in the Manchester United team whose contracts are about to expire, and there are nearly ten players.Most of these players are veteran players of the Ferguson period.Some of them have entered the end of their careers and are facing retirement; some of them were young players in Sir Alex Ferguson's time, and now they have become Kintag's substitute players.They are the main candidates for Jin Taige's contract renewal this time.

In fact, among these people, Kintag has already talked with many players in advance, and Kintag already has an idea of ​​their thoughts.

In this list of players, the first two have two names, they are Ferdinand and Vidic.Ferdinand is 37 years old and Vidic is 33 years old.

After the two of them communicated with Kintag, their attitude was very clear: when the contract expires next year, they will choose to retire directly.

Ferdinand did not play a few times last season. His physical condition has declined very seriously, especially his physical strength. It is very difficult to even play half-time games, so he has not started in midfield games for a long time.Kim Taige felt that his decision to retire was appropriate.

However, Vidic's performance last season was quite eye-catching. With his excellent experience and interception ability, he continued to serve as Manchester United's defensive anchor and became the most reliable partner in front of De Gea. Although his physical condition has also declined, he Excellent experience is definitely one of the indispensable assets of the team, as well as his super leadership ability, he is a very qualified captain.

After learning of Vidic’s decision to retire, Kintag persuaded him many times, hoping that he could stay and play for a few more years, but Vidic refused, and he said to Kintiger: “Boss, I feel that my physical condition is not good enough now. The decline is very serious. If I stay, I can only be a burden to Manchester United. I would rather choose to retire than let people see me in a mess."

Thinking of this, Jin Taige gently crossed out the names of the two of them with a pen.

There is also a player that Kintag likes very much, and Kintiger also very much hopes that he can renew his contract-Frank Lampard.

When Lampard joined Manchester United last season, he only signed a two-year contract. At the end of next season, his contract will also expire. The 37-year-old Lampard is the same age as Ferdinand, and both have reached the professional level. twilight years of life.Despite this, Lampard still showed a very good state last season.He became the Premier League's assist leader and also scored multiple goals.In addition to his competitive state, his help to the young people of the team is also very important.

But Lampard rejected the request to renew his contract. He is likely to go to the United States at the end of the season and leave the mainstream European leagues.

Next, are the names of two other people, they are Van Persie and Evra.

Jin Taige also communicated with them about the renewal of the contract before, but the answer of the two of them was the same-hoping to return to their hometown to play football after the end of the contract this season.

The person Jin Taige is most reluctant to part with is Van Persie.As a striker he likes very much, Kintag appreciates his super personal ability.Van Persie is only 32 years old this year. Although he is a little older, he can definitely become the team's substitute surprise soldier and continue to help Manchester United attack the city.The few games that beat Atletico Madrid and Barcelona last season are the best embodiment of Van Persie's important value.

Jin Taige dissuaded Van Persie for countless times, but Van Persie was still very firm: "Boss, thank you for your appreciation, but I really feel a little tired. I want to go home. I have been wandering outside for too long. I want to go back to the Netherlands, spend the last few years of my career in the Netherlands, where the pressure of competition is slightly less, and enjoy football well, so I am content."

And another player, Evra, made the same statement: "Boss, after the end of the 1516 season, I want to return to France and return to my hometown to play football. I am old now, and I can't run anymore. It is really difficult in such a high-intensity league like the Premier League, I want to return to Ligue [-] and spend the last of my football life."

Faced with the request of Van Persie and Evra, Kintag understood very well.

For the players who have been wandering abroad for many years, who doesn't want to return to their hometown and the place where their dreams began. The two of them will return to the place where their dreams started and the original club in all likelihood.At that time, they will definitely be the veteran legends of their respective teams and enjoy unparalleled treatment.And to be able to go home and be with the family, who would have the heart to refuse such a request?
The imminent departure of these five players made Jin Taige also look for successors in advance.In addition to looking for suitable transfer targets in international football, Kintag is also considering the succession of his young players.

There is only one year left for Jin Taige, and he needs to find a suitable replacement as soon as possible.

In addition to these four people, there are only five players left whose contracts expire in one year.

Carrick, Ashley Young, Valencia, Jones and Smalling.

These five people are almost all Manchester United's rotation substitute players. They performed well last season. In the part of the game when the main players were resting, they successfully completed the task of the game.Although there is still some gap in their strength compared with the main players, Jin Taige is very satisfied with their diligence and seriousness.

Kintag knows that Manchester United will have more games in the future, and the depth of the bench is essential. In Kintag's mind, it is best to have three players in one position. This is the best result, and this can fully adapt to multi-line battles. the result of.And these players who are willing to play as substitutes and have certain strengths are also very valuable players.

Before the end of this season, Kintag had solicited their opinions in advance, and all five players had a strong intention to stay in the team.Today, Jin Taige called the five of them again, asking them what they thought, and finally got an answer that made Jin Taige very satisfied.

Jin Taige contacted Woodward and asked him to arrange for the club's officials in charge of contract renewal to get in touch with the agents of the five players as soon as possible to speed up the contract renewal.

A few days later, the contract extensions of these five players were all signed.

While Jin Taige completed his contract renewal work, his transfer work was also carried out at the same time...
