Chapter 916 You can't do it if you don't want it

"Mr. Ed, thank you very much for your kindness, but now that the team has enough reserves in every position, there is really no need..."

"No, no, Best, you have to know that both the fans and the board of directors want to see the team stronger, even on paper."

"But now Manchester United is very strong."

"Pavard, Fabinho, Lucas, Van Dijk, Bernardo Silva... Maybe they will become superstars in the future, but Manchester United is not Southampton, not Arsenal, not Tottenham, we need to cultivate Superstars, but you also need to buy superstars!"

"I don't think this extremely cost-effective approach makes sense. Manchester United doesn't need to follow the superstar strategy..."

"Best, you have to know that Manchester United Club is a listed company, we need to give confidence to shareholders!"

Sun Wu grinned, what is this called, forcing me to spend money!

Mike Phelan and Rolf on the side are both bowing their heads and holding back their laughter. They are really two weirdos. There is also the CEO who forces the head coach to spend money to buy people, and even specifies that superstars must be bought.

The embarrassed Sun Wu looked up at the ceiling, "Mr. Ed, you should know... I have very high requirements for players. See the next Shevchenko."

Woodward, who didn't know much about football, was taken aback, and the assistant next to him immediately explained in a low voice.

The "nuclear warhead" Shevchenko was one of the best centers in Europe. When Mourinho didn't need a center, Abramovich spent 5000 million euros to buy it for Magic Bird.

As a result, Shevchenko, who had won the Champions League Golden Boot the previous year, was like a falling helicopter... The two seasons combined did not score more than 10 goals, and Chelsea also missed the championship for two consecutive years.

"Best, the club will increase youth training exchanges with Chinese clubs, and if it goes well, you can even buy two more young Chinese players." Woodward thought for a while and waved his hand, "So, regarding superstars, you only need to mention Just a list, anyone can do it!"

"Really anyone can?" Sun Wu glanced over, "I want Messi."

The corner of Woodward's mouth twitched, "Best, everyone would dream of traveling in space when they were young..."

Rolf and Mike Phelan on the side finally couldn't help laughing, and the office was full of joy.

"Okay, okay, let me think about it..." The pen quickly hovered over Sun Wu's mouth, and he thought for a while before saying: "The defense line has Van Dijk, Alderweireld and Phil Jones. Adding Rojo and Michael Keane, it is already overcrowded.

Midfielder Fabinho, Herrera, Kante, Fletcher, Lingard, Milner, plus me...the competition is tougher, and Lingard and Milner may have to come out on the wing to get it Get playing time.

Mane, Shaqiri and Bernardo Silva on the wing, Lingard and Milner, Rashford can also play, so... the center forward. "

Sun Wu turned to look at Woodward, "I'm sure Harry Kane is very good, but it's unknown when he will be able to activate the state, and Rashford is too young. It’s hard to be effective at the top.”

"A center forward?" Woodward excited. "Zlatan Ibrahimovic of Sweden!"

"By the way, I haven't finished." Sun Wu added lightly: "The salary of the new aid cannot break Manchester United's salary cap."

"Ibrahimovic may not be worth much, but he has high salary requirements. His annual salary in Paris Saint-Germain last season was 1700 million euros, with a total weekly salary of 29 pounds." Mike Phelan immediately reported the relevant data.

Now Manchester United's top salary is Sun Wu's 24 pounds, followed by Griezmann and De Gea's 18 pounds. It is a bit difficult to ask Ibrahimovic to cut his salary.

Rolf added: "And Ibrahimovic's character... Maybe he will fight on the training ground, uh, he has practiced taekwondo!"

"Best also practiced." Mike Phelan covered half of his face with his hands and suppressed a smile.

Sun Wu glared at the two guys, got up and said: "Mr. Ed, I have no objection to the introduction of superstars, because as the CEO, you need to consider more than me. My requirements are very simple. Center forward, weekly salary does not break the limit." The salary cap, and there has never been a dispute like Ibrahimovic in Barcelona before in his career."

Woodward nodded silently, taking stock of the centers in the list handed in by his assistant before, Lewandowski, Benzema, Diego Costa, Aubameyang, Cavani, Aguero ...

……

When he returned to his office and saw Paval and Fabinho chatting on the sofa, Sun Wu called them to the lounge next door.

"How do you feel?" Sun Wu smiled and poured two glasses of water, "You should have already guessed that I will lead the team for the new season."

Paval and Fabinho looked at each other and smiled: "It's unbelievable, but we both watched the Champions League final."

Sun Wu laughed. After Pochettino was sent off in the Champions League final, his adjustments to the lineup and formation allowed Manchester United to successfully lift the Big Ears Cup. Related comments were not small in the summer.

"It feels like Manchester United pays great attention to details. The nutritionist even asked us to eat three meals a day at the club." Fabinho shrugged. "I like Brazilian barbecue...but Mike said it was absolutely forbidden."

"Well, nutritionists, team doctors, and physical trainers will equip each player with relevant recipes and training plans." Sun Wu roughly explained a few words and said: "Actually, what I'm asking is...how do you feel about the new position?"

After a short silence, Pawar said: "It's not bad, but the rhythm and intensity on the training ground cannot be compared with the competition."

"Indeed, I will give you time to adapt." Sun Wu took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Benjamin, you can only say that you are quite satisfactory when you play as a winger or a full-back, but when you play a full-back... you can become the next Liza Razu."

"Fabinho, you should have discovered your strengths and weaknesses as a defensive midfielder. You have strong running ability, high-point contending ability, and good midfield scheduling, but you are easy to be swayed. This has something to do with your high center of gravity. It matters a lot."

"So, you need more time to adapt. In this regard, Fletcher will be your dedicated mentor. Although he is in good condition, he will be 32 years old by the end of the year."

"I was not selected for the America's Cup...it's normal, Alves..." Sun Wu was also quite surprised that Alves, an evergreen tree, has been in such a good state, "but if you switch to a defensive midfielder, and Kace It's hard to say who will win and who will lose in the Miro competition, but you must be an important member of the Brazilian national team."

Fabinho nodded again and again, he knew very well how much Sun Wu valued him.

Schneiderlin has been sent away, and Kanter will become the number one defensive midfielder.

And Herrera often becomes a duozi in defense, and his exact position is Sun Wu's assistant.

Fabinho carefully checked Manchester United's starting list for every game last season. In those key games, Sun Wu preferred to use Fletcher instead of Herrera.

"But Benjamin you are different." Sun Wu turned to Pavard, "Valencia and Ashley Young have already left, you will be Coleman's first substitute, and Manchester United have too many games, I am not prepared this season Give up the League Cup, the FA Cup, plus the Super Cup, the Club World Cup..."

"You and Coleman have a completely different style. He is tougher and more direct, while you are stronger in passing and receiving the ball, and you have more options to advance to the frontcourt."

Sun Wu emphasized: "In this transfer window, you are the lowest transfer fee in Manchester United's acquisition, but I think you are also the most valuable deal, so I hope you can adapt to the Premier League as soon as possible and provide yourself for the team as soon as possible." the power of."

Both Paval and Fabinho are from Ligue [-], and they naturally formed a group after the transfer. They have a common evaluation of Sun Wu. Other aspects are unknown, but this is a relatively honest person.
