Demon Golden Boots

Chapter 236 Woodward's Request

Inside the head coach's office at Ricoh Stadium.

Liu Yun sat on a chair, and beside him were Coventry coach George Sr., agent Goodman and two Spaniards.

Of the two Spaniards, one is Balmond, a scout for the West Division Gijon team, and his interpreter is beside him.

The purpose of the two of them coming to Coventry was naturally Liu Yun, an old demon.

Balmond babbled in Spanish.

The translator said: "Mr. Balmond was entrusted by the board of directors of Sporting Gijon to formally propose a purchase intention to Liu Yun of your team. The official transfer fee quoted by Sporting Gijon is 150 million euros. If the Coventry team can Agree to Liu's transfer, we will negotiate with Liu alone on weekly salary and signing fee."

Gijon ranked sixth in the second division last season.Performance is average.This season, the chairman of their board of directors has set the goal for the team to hit the La Liga seat.They are eager to buy a forward in excellent form to use as a firefighter.Liu Yun, the top scorer in the second division, naturally entered the sight of the Gijon team.

The transfer fee of 150 million euros is not much.You know, a while ago, a European team was interested in China international Zhang Moss.The Dongdong Hou team set a harsh condition for a transfer fee of tens of millions of euros.

Zhang Mosi was originally named Zhang Mosi.As the name suggests, he is very good at contemplating life on the court.Huaguo fans gave him the nickname "Moss", which is seven points of ridicule and three points of ridicule.This kind of Asian second-rate player, his club can offer a transfer fee of tens of millions of euros, and the transfer fee of 150 million is just a drizzle for the hyped Chinese Super League.

You know, the Handong Bairun team offered Liu Yun a transfer fee of 300 million euros and a sky-high salary offer of 600 million yuan in annual salary.

Old George happily agreed to the Gijon team's transfer fee offer on behalf of the Coventry club.Liu Yun's departure from the team is a certainty.He didn't want to delay Liu Yun's future for a few transfer fees.

In the eyes of outsiders, Liu Yun, a 45-year-old super-old player, can maintain his competitive state for at most one year.

The old George is the head coach but he knows it well. It is not a problem for the great old lieutenant to play for another two or three seasons.

Now that both parties have confirmed their transfer intentions, the next step is the issue of wages.

The salary negotiations between the two sides went very smoothly, and Liu Yun's transfer to Sporting Gijon seemed to be a certainty.

Manchester United chairman Woodward's office.

There were three people sitting opposite Woodward.One is the magic bird --- Marshal Mourinho.One is Cook, the team's top scout.The third person is Manchester United's chief barrister Kelin.

Woodward had a thick stack of materials on hand.The Premier League has come to an end. Manchester United's performance this season is average, temporarily ranking sixth in the league.It is almost hopeless to qualify for the Champions League through the league, and the Europa League qualification is already in the bag.Manchester United, which has no desires and needs, has put the signings of the new season on the agenda ahead of schedule.

The four are discussing signings for the new season.

Mourinho said: "If Manchester United can only introduce two people this year. I will definitely choose Chelsea's Matic and Everton's Lukaku."

Matic is Chelsea's main midfielder and Lukaku is Everton's main forward.If these two are to be introduced, Manchester United must pay a huge transfer fee.

Woodward knows Magic Bird well.This is an ambitious coach.This year the team ranks sixth in the league. With such a result, Manchester United's financial boss, the Glazer family in the United States, is not satisfied, the club chairman Woodward is not satisfied, and even Mourinho, the Red Devils coach, is not satisfied.

Matic was the favorite student of Magic Bird at Chelsea. Mourinho wanted to lure him to Manchester United at a high price. Naturally, he is familiar with him.Lukaku is a 24-year-old youth star, his age is there, and his future is promising.As the chairman of the club, Woodward will definitely support Mourinho's decision.

Woodward belongs to the kind of people who are not suspicious of employing people but not using them when they are suspicious.Now that the team has been handed over to Mourinho, he will fully support the Magic Bird.

Woodward knows: Mourinho believes in will and spiritual football, pays attention to details, strong execution, paranoid and arrogant, good at motivating the players' maximum potential and immediate combat effectiveness, and the tactics of the coached team are strictly prohibited. Neo hardly let the media get caught and protected his players. He is good at psychological warfare and often provokes opponents and referees. . . .All in all, Magic Bird is a trustworthy coach.

Woodward nodded: "Okay, the club will definitely support you with all its strength."

Woodward turned to Cook, the team's top scout, and said, "How is the introduction of a Chinese player going?"

Mourinho was surprised: "What? Introduce Chinese players?!"

In Mourinho's view, no player from a fifth-rate football country in the world like Huaguo can play football at all.

Woodward explained to Mourinho: "Our boss is very worried about the club's revenue situation this year. He is eager to let the team open the Huaguo market. You know, Huaguo is now the second largest economy in the world, and It has the largest number of fans in the world. Opening up the Huaguo market is the best way to increase the club's income!"

Mourinho shrugged: "Oh, signings for commercial purposes. I can't control it, but if Chinese players are really allowed to enter the team, I will definitely let him sit on the bench. In my impression Among them, it seems that I have only seen one Chinese who can barely play football, that is, the Sun who was in the Manchester City team ten years ago."

Manchester United's top scout, Cook, handed a long list to Woodward's desk.

"Huachao Yuedong Evergrande's main forward Gao Linsi, main central defender Zhang Mosi, and Shanghai Hong Kong team's main forward Wu Qiuwang."

After reading the list of these three people, Woodward shook his head: "A group of eight-rate players. Although the introduction of Huaguo players is for commercial purposes, we always have to explain to the fans. If these rubbish players are introduced, the fans We're going to protest at the door of the club."

Woodward turned to the next page of the file.It turned out to be Qu Bai.

Woodward carefully checked Cook's investigation report: "Well, this Hua Guo teenager is still promising. He is a rising star in the League Two this year. But he is still too young and inexperienced. Not enough fame. Our fans should still be complaining."

Cook shook his head helplessly: "Mr. Chairman, there are only so many capable players in Huaguo. Three of these four players are the most famous in the Chinese Super League, and one is regarded as a star of hope by Huaguo people. According to your request, I can only make a list of these four for you to choose from."
