Bro, I want to tell you that I have left the airport and am heading to Carrington.The bad news is that the driver is a Manchester United fan and I suspect I was kidnapped by him.

When Raphael saw this text message, he had just escaped from the airport.

What happened to his good brother amused him, and he smiled and said to Ferguson: "I think the staff you sent to pick up Gabe are going to return empty-handed. He took a taxi to Carrington by himself. The message is that the driver is a Manchester United fan."

Ferguson froze for a moment, then laughed.

Moratti also shook his head with a smile. He didn't expect Batty to go to Manchester United in such a way.

Seeing that Ferguson was in a good mood, Rafael asked: "Is it okay to let Gabe go directly to Carrington? Will UEFA catch me as a pigtail?"

Fogg gave him a meaningful look before saying to Moratti: "I suddenly realized that he is not as smart as I thought. I mean, he looks a bit stupid."

Raphael: "..."

This was the first time someone said he was stupid to his face after his rebirth, and he emphasized it twice.

Moratti and Raphael have been together for two or three years, and just by looking at the changes in his eyes, you can tell that he is a little unhappy.Of course he shouldn't be happy!

He's our little prince of Meazza, and even Bobby would say he's a bad boy at best, so how can he be called stupid?

But he didn't come out to put out the fire for Ferguson.

Why was he helping the Scot?He even wanted to say he did a great job!

It's best to say a few more words, so that Rafael never wants to come to this ghost place again, let alone play football under your hands!

Of course Ferguson noticed the slight change in Rafael's expression, and he even smiled in his heart.

Yes, he deliberately "bullyed" Raphael.

And the reason why she wanted to "bully" him was, of course, because her anger was not going well!If this stinky boy returns to Manchester United, he still needs to bother with these things?

But the old man also knows what is enough.

He wrote lightly: "After I was out of the Champions League, I communicated with the chairman of Fiorentina Cecigoli. The other side does not refuse us to contact Batty in principle.

I think this is a very smart decision.

If you can't keep a pampas eagle, why let it gallop over the Apennines?Now that there is no interference from Barcelona, ​​the British peninsula is a better choice for them.

Of course, the basis of all this is a generous offer. "

These few words let Raphael know how long Ferguson has been busy with Batty's transfer!

Manchester United was eliminated at the end of April. At that time, he had already reached a preliminary consensus with the chairman of Florence.

Now that Serie A is over, Fiorentina won the top four and retained their qualifications for the Champions League next season. He only had an interview with Batty and showed his sincerity.

Even if it's a bit high-profile now, it won't make Viola's management unhappy

After all, I only came into contact with the players after the end of the season, and did not affect the players at the critical moment at the end of the season.

As the person involved, Batty must know such details, so Raphael also understands why his old friend is particularly talkative this time.

The reason why Batty chose to stay last season was not only his special feelings for the Fiorentina team, but also the joining of Roberto Baggio, which made him full of confidence in the new season.

In fact, the offensive iron triangle formed by Batty, Baggio and Rui Costa performed very well, and Baggio is even more rejuvenated.

But Batty's problem has not been resolved

Although they performed very well, which team was not strengthening last season?

That was even the most money-burning summer in Serie A after entering the 90s!

Although they only brought Fiorentina into the top four, what Batty wants is the championship.

So last year, Batty, after receiving his invitation to join Inter Milan, first hesitated and then refused.

This year, under the attack of Ferguson's combination boxing, he first accepted the invitation to go back to Milan to have an interview with Ferguson. After Ferguson suggested that he transfer to Manchester, he agreed, and now he took a taxi to Carrington!

Such a change in action obviously also shows his inner voice.

His old friend really wanted a change of scenery.

"If the transfer works out, I'll be happy for him," Rafael said.

Barty waited too long for a championship.

And Manchester United also needs a striker who can kill the Quartet in the Champions League, and they hit it off.

This made Ferguson smile with satisfaction.

His desire to pursue Batty last year was not so urgent, but in this year's Champions League group stage, they were divided with Fiorentina.

In the two rounds of direct dialogue, Batty proved himself with goals, which made him realize that after getting Nesta to strengthen the defense, if he wants to win in the Champions League, the striker is the most important thing to solve!

When Raphael came to Carrington, there were also three floors of media inside and outside, and even a BBC news helicopter hovering above.

Ferguson didn't care, he had already made the staff ready.

Sure enough, with the help of Manchester United staff, after ten minutes, they finally reached Carrington.

This is also Raphael's first visit here

The last time he came to "Carrington", it was the one next door, Manchester City's.

Thinking of this experience, he couldn't help curling his lips.

This also made Moratti nervous!

What's so good about Carrington? Although our Pinetina is a little smaller than here, we have just been refurbished for 2 years. Don't you like it?

Soon Moratti discovered that this was just the beginning.

The Manchester United staff were so disgusting that hundreds of staff waited for them outside the car park and welcomed their young club with applause.

And standing at the forefront is Albert Hughes!

Yes, His Excellency Hughes greeted his son in this way, although he still remembered to shake hands with Moratti before giving his son a big hug.

Moratti was in a delicate mood, but Raphael returned to him after thanking the staff.

They then met Barty at Hughes' office.

Raphael took the initiative to open his arms, gave his bearded old friend a big hug, and joked: "It seems that Mr. Driver is really a Manchester United fan, and he didn't take you to the next door."

Batty immediately laughed and said, "He hasn't left yet. He insisted that he would be the first to sign with him after I signed the contract. I clearly told him that I would not have a medical examination!"

He just came to see Ferguson. After all, how could the transfer happen so quickly?

But he obviously doesn't understand what Ferguson's speed is.

An hour after being invited to Ferguson's office, he was persuaded by the Scottish old man and was invited to the medical examination room.

Ferguson's reasons are very good: "I asked Rafa about your knee and ankle problems. Our physical examination will take a long time. Since you intend to join, when will this physical examination start? Isn't it the same? Wait until you and Floren Once it's settled, you can continue to enjoy your vacation."

It sounds reasonable.

Batty walked into Manchester United's medical examination room in this way, and at the same time accepted photos from Manchester United photographers.

After Ferguson fooled Batty, he came to Hughes' office. He didn't look at Moratti who was holding a black tea cup, and he didn't care where Rafael went. He asked the boss directly: "Is the deal settled?"

Hughes nodded: "3500 million US dollars, there are 2 floating clauses. If he plays 20 times next season and wins the league championship, we will add 200 million US dollars. If he wins the Champions League within 3 years, we will add another 300 million US dollars. "

This made Ferguson snort, and complained: "Smart Italian!"

He guarantees that the teams sold to Italy, except for Inter Milan, will never sell at this price. At least no Serie A team will add any terms. This is the style that the Premier League teams prefer, not the Serie A teams!

As a not-so-savvy Italian, Moratti felt that this cup of black tea was not fragrant at all!

But seeing Manchester United being slaughtered, he was still very happy!

Hughes spread his hands helplessly: "Peter and Jill and I have tried our best."

It was Manchester United CEO Peter Kenyon and deputy CEO David Gill who were used by him to share the pot.

Since the boss who paid the money said he did his best, and didn't say that he would not buy someone for himself at such a high price, could Ferguson still be angry?

He is so happy!

It was also at this time that he realized that there was one person missing in the room, and he couldn't help asking, "Where's your son?"

He obviously asked the right question, because his boss showed a big smile and pointed to the lounge that was added after he took office: "He is taking a nap. It should be that he didn't have a good rest yesterday."

Only then did Moratti interject: "He has started to develop the habit of lunch breaks this season."

Hughes immediately asked the reason. Seeing that they had a pleasant conversation, Ferguson rolled his eyes inwardly, and then smiled contentedly.

Barty, this is just the beginning!

He will make the most of this summer!

Hughes wanted to have dinner with his son, but considering the ubiquitous media and flight time, he could only send them to the airport at 4 pm.

Just as Raphael pressed his cheek and was about to leave with Moratti, Hughes handed him a gift box.

Raphael looked at the notebook-sized box in obvious surprise, and Hughes said with a smile: "It's a game console. Byron is obsessed with this these days. I bought it and wanted to give it to you. You can pass this time on the road." , Pabrido, Juan and Javier, I will send them over."

Raphael took it silently.

The last time he received such a gift was on his 16th birthday.

Byron bought a game console and prepared to give it to him, but he lost his temper when he learned that he had joined the army privately. They had a quarrel that day.

But in the end he put it in his luggage and came to the registration office.

He never thought that when he was about to turn 20, his father would give him such a gift.

Seeing that his son didn't speak, Hughes took the initiative to hug him, and pressed his cheek again, promising that he would go to France after two days of work.

He misses Luiz, and wants to see him lift the Champions League trophy.

Moratti has known Hughes for more than a year, but he still watched the relationship between the father and son closely.

As a father, he could feel the love in every look Hughes gave Rafael.

And Rafa, who has always been aloof, would never reject any of his closeness, perhaps this is also his way of expressing love.

It's all because of that war...

But their Inter Milan is obviously the beneficiary of that war.

When Raphael left Carrington, countless fans gathered outside Carrington, and they issued a cry to stay.

Raphael knew that he could only let them down, but he didn't want Moratti to make a trip in vain.

So he looked at the chairman: "Massimo, Andre may discuss the contract renewal terms with you in the next two days. I will renew the contract with the team before the Champions League final."

He didn't want to wait until after the game.

It's a good thing for anyone.

One can imagine how happy Moratti is at the moment!

Raphael would have waited until after the Champions League final to discuss this, now?

Well worth it!

They took a business jet back to Milan.

Moratti is somewhat old and tired after a day of running around. When he put down his seat to take a nap, he could still see Raphael on the opposite side happily playing with the handheld.

This made him curl his lips.

Sure enough, he was still a child.
