Chapter 658 Prohibition period (2)

Sun Wu, who rarely participated in a club activity, stood impatiently at the entrance of the hospital, and the microphones in the hands of the reporters under the steps were almost stuffed into his mouth.

Each club will organize various activities from time to time. To put it nicely, it is to enhance the centripetal force of the club and expand the influence of the club. To put it bluntly, it is to cooperate with various advertisers, and they all pay for it.

And Manchester United is the best in the world in this regard, because their advertisers are the most in the world... 63 advertisers, from China and Japan in far East Asia to Nigeria in another hemisphere, also cover almost all industries, There are even paint manufacturers and taxi companies!

According to Mike Phelan's disclosure to Sun Wu, the club is currently preparing to switch from Nike to Adidas, and it is likely to get a huge sponsorship contract of nearly [-] million euros per year... Sun Wu is amazed, no wonder how many years in that time and space, Manchester United Can't win any heavyweight championships, but the ability to absorb money has always been among the top three!
Today, Sun Wu, De Gea, Evra and others came to a local hospital in Manchester to do charity activities and chat with a few young Manchester United fans. It is said that this is a request from a medical device company.

After the routine signing and leaving the hospital, Sun Wu and others were blocked by the reporters who heard the news... because just after Manchester United lost 0 to 2 to Aston Villa the day before yesterday, Mourinho mocked Manchester United with such a big mouth .

"Chelsea is the leader, 2 points ahead of No. 4 Manchester City, 3 points ahead of No. 6 Liverpool, [-] points ahead of Manchester United... Wait, I will do the math first!"

The reporters all know that the Chinese in front of him is a very quick-talking guy, who made Bayern chairman Hoeness pissed off several times in the Bundesliga. Which reporter would want to miss this kind of news?

But this time Sun Wu remained expressionless and did not speak. Two old players, Ferdinand and Evra, escorted Sun Wu out of the crowd.

"It's really airs!" A Chinese reporter clicked his tongue a few times, "The captain and deputy captain escorted him away."

At present, in the Manchester United team, the captain is Ferdinand, the second captain is Evra, and there is no third captain. According to media analysis, it is very likely that Sun Wu will directly become the captain after the former two leave the team.

Another Chinese reporter pouted, "He's a Manchester United baby now."

……

Back at the Carrington base, Sun Wu went straight to the training ground, stood there and looked at his teammates who were training, neither speaking nor leaving the field.

"Best, what's the matter?" Mike Phelan felt that something was wrong, and turned to look at Ferdinand.

"Journalist harassment." Ferdinand shrugged, "That Portuguese..."

"Best, that Portuguese has always been so annoying, don't pay attention to him, don't be influenced by him." Mike Phelan comforted a few words, but Sun Wu didn't say a word.

In today's training, Pochettino and Jesus did not participate, and Miguel went to Southampton to discuss the transfer of Schneiderlin. The only serious special coach on the training ground was Mike Phelan. people.

Sun Wu, who was standing on the sidelines, waited until the training was over before returning to the locker room with his teammates. After everyone had showered and cleaned up, Sun Wu clapped his hands and stood up.

The locker room was immediately quiet. Not long ago, Sun Wu's performance at halftime in the away game against Barcelona allowed him to establish personal prestige.

"Four days ago, I told reporters that Manchester United can win the league championship this season." Sun Wu slowly paced back and forth in the dressing room, "Some people think that I should not talk too much, and some people think that this goal is not appropriate. In fact, some people think that Manchester United should first guarantee the top four..."

"But if it's just to guarantee the Champions League qualification next season, is it necessary for me to come to Manchester United?" Sun Wu pointed to his chest, "Is it necessary for Manchester United to spend a club-record transfer fee to buy me?"

"That damn Mourinho is laughing at Manchester United and me, but I know Chelsea won't win the league this season!"

"So, today I didn't say a word to the reporter who asked the question."

"Because, I know, I have plenty of opportunities to mock him...after we lift the league championship trophy!"

Sun Wu's voice gradually became louder, resounding through the locker room.

"The media said that Manchester United suffered from 'Best dependence', what do you think?" Sun Wu glanced at Griezmann, Thomas Müller, Cleverly, Luke Shaw and others. Pass.

The locker room became even quieter, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop on the ground.

"This is nonsense. If you talk about dependence, then what Manchester United suffers from is not just 'Best dependence'!"

"And De Gea's dependence, and Griezmann's dependence, and Evra's dependence..."

"Every player who can come to Manchester United is one of the best players in the world. You must know that we are not Portuguese players that the head coach bought without looking!"

Low laughter sounded, the new players are not clear, but the old man of Manchester United knows, Sun Wu is just referring to the Portuguese winger Beibei, Ferguson bought it for 680 million pounds without even watching the training video, This has also become a stain in the history of Sir Alex Ferguson's transfer.

"I admit that there are still flaws in this Manchester United team. It is very difficult for this Manchester United team to win the league championship, but isn't this the meaning of our existence?"

"I admit that the contenders for the Premier League title this season are very strong, but this just shows that this will be the most valuable championship trophy in the history of the Premier League!"

Sun Wu's slow and powerful voice echoed in the locker room. "To win this championship trophy, everyone needs to go all out."

"Everyone on this team is unique, but no one is irreplaceable."

Captain Ferdinand stood up suddenly. He walked to the center of the locker room and stood beside Sun Wu.

"My contract expires next summer and I have decided not to renew it and I will leave Manchester United."

The first sentence of Ferdinand made the locker room noisy. It has been 12 years since the best central defender in the Premier League in ten years came to Old Trafford.

"Just like Best said, this season's league champion is the one with the highest gold content in the history of the Premier League!"

"I want to leave Old Trafford with this league title!"

McPhelan at the corner heaved a long sigh of relief.

"Me too." Evra, another captain, also stood up, "Liverpool is recovering, Manchester City is rising, kill them, let everyone know that Manchester United is still the overlord of the Premier League and has a unique status!"

The dressing room gradually became chaotic, with Lingard at a loss, Luke Shaw shouting and punching, Phil Jones blushing and swearing to kill Liverpool and Manchester City, Sun Wu and Ryan Giggs hugging the two captains ...

The next day, in the quarter-finals of the League Cup, Sun Wu still did not appear on the court, not even on the coaching bench.

Although facing Stoke City, which gave Manchester United their first defeat of the season, this time, the Red Devils, who played as a semi-main player, showed a completely different mental outlook from two days ago.

Two central defenders, Phil Jones and Ferdinand, scored double-double headers, Thiago Motta scored twice from the penalty spot, and two veterans, Evra and Ryan Giggs, also scored.

Nine and 10 minutes later, Stoke City rolled out of Old Trafford with a 0-6 score.
