From the man behind the football king to the football king.

Chapter 382 The Influence of the Double Red Society

As soon as the game ended, Bruno became the focus of the media because he played so perfectly in this game. His performance well explained the concepts of "core of midfield", "hub of midfield" and "field commander".

"If anyone still doesn't know what a qualified midfielder is, let's take a look at Bruno's performance in this game!" The commentator of the famous British TV station Sky Sports was also impressed by Bruno's performance in this game. Impressed.

When doing a league analysis program before the season, this commentator was a guest. He was not optimistic about Manchester United's prospects. He believed that there were many bosses who would spend money, but football does not mean that the richer the more successful they will be. .

Chelsea owner Abramovich spent so much money in the first few years when he took over Chelsea, but apart from bringing two Premier League championships to the Blues, the Blues did not win any championships in European competitions. They finally became European champions, which they achieved through a long period of accumulation.

Coincidentally, Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour and Paris Saint-Germain owner Nasser spent so much money, but did Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain win the European Champions Cup?

As for Manchester United, although this team was originally a giant, since Ferguson retired, the former top giants have fallen into silence, giving people a feeling of decline.

It is impossible for such a declining team to be revived immediately just because it has a boss with a net worth of 80 billion euros.

At that time, he asserted that the team's goal this season should be to compete for the Champions League. As long as they can participate in the Champions League next season and then regain the Premier League championship within four to five seasons, then this team can be considered a success.

Who would have thought that Manchester United's performance would be so eye-catching at the beginning of the new season.

………………

The previous results can be said to be that Manchester United took advantage of the schedule, and their opponents were all weak teams. However, after Manchester United defeated the two powerful teams of Manchester City and Liverpool and won eight consecutive victories in the Premier League season, Manchester United's success can no longer be ignored.

First of all, the boss has money. Modern football is no longer the world it was fifty years ago. You can't play without money.

A wealthy owner who is willing to invest is what all teams dream of, and now Manchester United already has it.

Money is the foundation of football. If an ordinary football fan wants to play football, he still has to spend money to buy footballs and sneakers, let alone professional football?

Not every wealthy club can succeed, but a club without money will definitely not be able to win the championship. This is the characteristic of modern football.

In addition to having money, Manchester United's boss also plans to create a very good hardware environment for the club. The Manchester United Carrington training base renovation and Old Trafford stadium reconstruction plan with a total investment of up to 12 billion pounds has been officially launched.

At the beginning of October, Manchester United announced the upgrade and renovation project of the Carrington training base and the reconstruction project of the Old Trafford stadium.

The one that has attracted the most attention is the reconstruction project of Old Trafford Stadium.

………………

Originally, Jassim's team had three plans, namely the renovation and reconstruction of the Old Trafford Stadium, and the construction of a brand new stadium.

After careful consideration, Jassim decided to rebuild a world-class stadium at the location of Old Trafford. However, this reconstruction plan is somewhat different from the White Hart Lane stadium reconstruction plan currently underway.

In the first two years of the reconstruction of Old Trafford, Manchester United will not move out of Old Trafford, but all games will continue to be played at Old Trafford.

It will not be until the third and final year of the rebuilding project that Manchester United will not play at Old Trafford.

During this year, Manchester United will complete the construction of the main building of the new stadium as quickly as possible, and then complete follow-up work such as decoration.

According to the plan, this reconstruction plan will start in early 2017, and various preparations will be carried out in the next two years. Then Manchester United will stop playing games at Old Trafford in early 2019. The Old Trafford Stadium will complete all construction work in the next year to a year and a half, allowing Manchester United to move into the new stadium for games at the beginning of the 2020-2021 season.

The entire reconstruction project will cost approximately £11 billion.

In addition, Jassim will invest 1 million pounds to comprehensively upgrade the Carrington training base and transform it into one of the most advanced training bases in the world.

………………

In addition to a good hardware environment, Jassim also spent a lot of money to build an excellent software-coaching team for the team.

Mourinho, one of the best coaches in world football today, and his coaching team were hired by Jassim with a sky-high annual salary of 1500 million pounds.

After possessing these, Jassim gave head coach Mourinho full autonomy in the construction and management of the team. In the transfer market, although the people Manchester United bought this summer were all proposed by general manager Giaretta, it was Mourinho who made the final decision, and all Jassim had to do was to pay and sign the check. .

Therefore, judging from the players of Manchester United, they are all very suitable for this team. Except for Bruno, the new FIFA Ballon d'Or winner, the others are not well-known, but they have strength that cannot be underestimated. And they have fully proved this in the first eight rounds of the league.

Speaking of players, we have to focus on Bruno, who spent 200 million euros on the club this summer and set a transfer record in football history.

Previously, the media was very puzzled by Manchester United's spending so much money to buy Bruno, and even slammed Jassim for spending the money randomly. How can these club presidents who spend so much money to buy a player be embarrassed?

………………

Granted, Bruno is the winning captain who led Udinese to the Serie A title, the Europa League and the Champions League, even ended Messi and Ronaldo's Ballon d'Or dominance, and performed brilliantly at this summer's European Cup. , can be called one of the best players in current football.

But after all, he is not yet twenty-two years old, and the future is still full of uncertainty. Under such circumstances, is he really worth 200 million euros?

You know, before Bruno, the international football transfer market had always been at the level of tens of millions of euros. Although Bell set a record of 100 million euros when he moved to Real Madrid three years ago.

But in the following three years, there was no more €100 million transfer in international football.

But now Bruno has directly doubled this transfer record, which has also brought the international football transfer market directly into the era of 200 million euros.

Some media simply questioned whether Bruno's agent Mendes had any private agreement with Mourinho, saying it was 200 million euros. In fact, a large part of the kickbacks went into the pockets of Mourinho and Mendes.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in European football. Some well-known head coaches have been exposed to scandals of teaming up with their agents to take kickbacks.

This kind of doubt about Bruno's personal ability has always existed.
