Grass roots glory

Chapter 899
"The latest news is that Manchester City's pursuit of Zhou has failed. Zhou arrived in Manchester yesterday, but the destination is not Manchester City's training base, but the Carrington training base across the wall. Then he and Manchester United's chief team doctor Steve Mai Nali appeared together at the Waterbridge Private Hospital. Only players who are about to join Manchester United will be arranged for a medical examination here. Therefore, it can almost be concluded that Mansour's money has not played a role, and Manchester United will become the one in the transfer market. Biggest winner."

Manchester United didn't dare to be careless about Zhou Tiancheng's physical condition. They came to Manchester, and went to their home site to arrange a more detailed and comprehensive physical examination for Zhou Tiancheng, mainly for Zhou Tiancheng's long-delayed left shoulder injury.

This is also what Van Gaal requested. He needs a precise judgment to recruit Zhou Tiancheng. Don't think that he must be relied on as the core of the central axis.Once an opponent, Van Gaal would not have any hesitation.

After getting the results of the physical examination and seeing McNally's beaming expression, Van Gaal knew there was no problem.

When Zhou Tiancheng first arrived in Manchester, he still needed to be familiar with everything about this legendary century-old giant.The club's CEO Woodward will also accompany him in person when he has time.

Around the area of ​​the club's training base, many well-known European media have set up workstations.After all, it is next to the two giants of the Premier League, and a lot of news will come out from here as soon as possible.

But Zhou Tiancheng followed the training base so generously, he didn't even wear sunglasses, and appeared in the field of vision of all reporters.He himself didn't care, and neither did Woodward.

It's all official, so what's there to be afraid of?Now they are worried that the reporters cannot see because of their poor eyesight.

At the same time that Zhou Tiancheng appeared at the Carrington training base, Dortmund and Manchester United also confirmed the official announcement that this will soon become a big hit in the transfer market.

"We are very sorry to announce to all Dortmund fans that Zhou Tiancheng himself has reached an agreement with Manchester United. After careful consideration, the club has decided to facilitate this transfer. It is really difficult to say goodbye, Zhou, may your future always be in the future." Peak, our best yellow and black No. 10!"

This is a very warm farewell official announcement, but for Dortmund fans, it is still cruel after all.

Of course, since it is parting, it is destined to be happy and sad for some families.Dortmund's official website has a black main color, and the mood is still depressed.

On the other hand, the official website of Manchester United puts Zhou Tiancheng's big profile picture, with a big "WELCOME!" in the most eye-catching, bright orange red code.

"All Red Devils fans, please cheer loudly now! Let us warmly welcome Zhou - a legend from China to join us! He will be a member of us for at least three years. Dream Theater welcomes you, Zhou!"

Dream Theater welcomes you-whether all other giants can accept it or not, when Manchester United officially uses the fan nickname "Dream Theater" to refer to Old Trafford, everything has been confirmed, and it expresses Manchester United's official respect for Zhou Tiancheng. recognition and expectation.

At Old Trafford, there are too many legendary creators who have created classics. Only those who may create legends for Manchester United are eligible to be compared with the three words "Dream Theater".

What's interesting is that even the English media paid too much attention to the transfer itself, which didn't fit their style, so that the most important breaking point in the official announcements of the two teams was immediately ignored——Zhou Tiancheng transfer fee and annual salary.

When it comes to money, this is what the English media are most concerned about in the past. In their eyes, this represents the value of the players, and to a certain extent reflects which of these giants is more successful.

Zhou Tiancheng's transfer fee is definitely not without gimmicks, but only the Chinese media has come up with a lot of energy to stir it up - Zhou Tiancheng's transfer fee is as high as 9200 million pounds!
Calculated in euros, this is the first transaction of over 1000 million euros in this summer's transfer window.In the end Dortmund received [-] million euros.

Even in this age of big bucks, that's a rare high price.Even in the market after the World Cup, among the current potential and completed transactions, the highest value is the 8000 million euros worth of James Rodriguez joining Real Madrid, which is not enough to compare with Zhou Tiancheng.

Can you not be excited?If no one poachs Messi or Ronaldo, I am afraid that few transfers can touch this high threshold.

This is true superstar boundaries.Zhou Tiancheng is very likely to become the king of transfer bids again early in this turbulent transfer window.

And Manchester United's personal salary for Zhou Tiancheng made them even more excited-a weekly salary of 50 pounds after tax!

We all know that the Premier League has a strong commercial atmosphere, and several super giants with deep roots in European football are willing to burn money, but this annual salary level, let alone the Premier League transfer market this season, or Manchester United's historical transfers, the English media Directly pointed out that even in the history of the entire Premier League, this is the highest salary.After conversion, Zhou Tiancheng's annual salary can reach 2500 million pounds after tax.

This is not a concept than Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid.

……

Zhou Tiancheng had just completed a lap at the Carrington training base, which surprised him a little. The heart of Manchester United's "Class of 92", which has bred countless superstars and even created the popularity of Manchester United in Europe, is actually located in such a place - dense Woods, arc-roofed buildings, wide lawns, no huge Manchester United logo, slightly narrow gates, quiet paths...

When he came, Zhou Tiancheng even passed by the gate of Manchester City. Manchester City's training base was facing the main road, while Manchester United's Carrington training base actually had to go through a narrow alleyway, and then was on a wide grassy field like a farm. , saw a lonely arc-roofed building.

No one would associate such a place with a dynasty, but Manchester United's fantastic tactical coordination was practiced in the training room here.

Zhou Tiancheng shook his head when he saw it, and sighed for a while.Woodward smiled and watched him from the side: "Why, Zhou, are you not satisfied with our conditions? This is our secret. Manchester United also has some things that cannot be known by everyone."

Zhou Tiancheng shook his head: "I'm just surprised. If you haven't come to see it, I'm afraid it's hard to believe that this is Manchester United's training base. Stars like Beckham, Giggs and Scholes have trained in this way. "

Except for the top-quality training grounds separated by pieces of pasture, there is no aura of luxury here.

But this is his new club after careful consideration, Zhou Tiancheng finds it pleasing no matter how he looks at it.

Low-key luxury has connotations, which is quite to my liking. Perhaps this is the real core of a wealthy family.I don't even bother to show it to others.

At this time Woodward answered the phone, and then he laughed: "But, don't worry, Zhou, we will never be stingy when there are occasions. Today you rest first, wait for our arrangements, and get ready to appear in the Theater of Dreams! "
