The Red Devils' revival starts with retaining Mourinho

In less than half an hour, social media was full of hot searches and comments about "Joao Felix is ​​about to join Manchester United". The initiators of this incident, Rowley and Jorge Mendes, have walked into a well-known restaurant in Lisbon and started to enjoy the food.

This restaurant is located in the core area of ​​​​Lisbon, like a bright pearl inlaid in the prosperity of the city. From the outside, its architectural style shows the luxurious atmosphere of European classical style. The tall columns are carved with exquisite patterns, reflecting a low-key and luxurious luster under the light, as if silently telling its noble status. The door is made of heavy solid wood, inlaid with glittering golden lines, and the door handle is made of pure gold, showing the ultimate luxury.

Stepping into the restaurant, the feet are on the shiny marble floor, covered with hand-made custom carpets, and each pattern is finely embroidered, showing the artistic charm. On the ceiling, huge crystal chandeliers hang down like a string of bright stars, casting soft and bright light, illuminating the entire space with golden splendor. On the surrounding walls hang oil paintings by famous artists, each of which is worth a lot of money, adding a strong artistic atmosphere to the restaurant.

Soothing classical music flows in the air like a gurgling stream, lingering in the ears, making people relax their body and mind instantly. The air is filled with the mellow aroma of food, which is the tempting taste of the collision of top-grade ingredients and exquisite cooking skills, and is intertwined with the elegant fragrance from the imported flowers placed in the corner, creating a unique atmosphere that is both luxurious and comfortable.

Under the respectful guidance of the waiter, Luo Lie and Jorge Mendes came to a window seat with an excellent view and sat down. The tableware on the table is all sterling silver products from well-known workshops. After careful polishing, it exudes a cool and elegant brilliance under the light. The vase next to it is an exquisite work of art, carved from crystal, with a few rare flowers in it, which are so beautiful that they seem to gather all the spring scenery outside, adding a bit of romance and elegance to this luxurious dining environment.

The two first ordered a few signature dishes of the restaurant, and then chose a bottle of old and expensive wine. Soon, the dishes were served one after another. The tempting grilled steak was selected from the top ranch, with a texture as exquisite as a work of art. It sizzled under the charcoal fire and exuded a mellow meaty aroma. The sauce was made by a famous chef with a variety of precious spices. With a light dip and put into the mouth, the rich taste was like a luxurious dance on the taste buds; and the seafood risotto, the plump rice grains were selected from the best quality varieties, absorbing the soup made from a variety of top seafood such as fresh lobsters and plump scallops, shrimp meat, shellfish and other seafood were scattered among them, and every bite seemed to catch the delicious taste of the sea, which made people have endless aftertaste.

While tasting the food, they talked softly, laughing about the experience of doing "Mantai" downstairs of the Benfica Club headquarters, and the possible impact it might have on the football world. Occasionally, the two would smile at each other for a certain point of view and clink glasses to drink.

This time, helping Benfica raise the price was mainly to repay Jorge Mendes' favor. After all, in the past six months, he provided a lot of positive help for Cristiano Ronaldo's return; so when he proposed to go to Benfica, Luo Lie agreed without any hesitation. Of course, in Luo Lie's inner OS, there is also the factor of repaying the favor of Benfica Club for releasing Ruben Dias before. After all, he intercepted it a year in advance, making them earn a lot less money. Of course, Luis Filipe Vieira definitely didn't know about this, but Luo Lie, a five-good youth who received nine-year compulsory education in the future, would also be embarrassed.

What's more, this time, Gonzalo Ramos was snatched in advance at a bargain price of 3 million pounds. You should know that only four years later, the French Paris Saint-Germain Football Club used 80 million euros (specifically: 65 million fixed fees plus 15 million floating) to get this Portuguese genius striker. And for Gonzalo Ramos's placement, Rowe had already thought about it. He loaned him to Germany for two years and let Van Nistelrooy train him well. Rowe firmly believed that under the legendary striker's words and deeds, Gonzalo Ramos in a few years will definitely be more powerful than in his previous life.

As for Rowe's arrangement, both Jorge Mendes, the agent, and Gonzalo Ramos himself were very happy. After all, from the Portuguese First Division (Note: the league in which Benfica B team participates) to the German Second Division, although they are all in their own country,Second-tier leagues, but the value of the leagues and the significance of training for players are very different. Moreover, which young striker can refuse to have the "world's best scorer" as his master? !

Just after the news of Manchester United's involvement in Joao Felix's transfer spread, the most nervous one was Atletico Madrid in Spain. They have always had a strong interest in Joao Felix and have had many contacts with Benfica before; more importantly, their current player, Antoine Griezmann, a Frenchman who scored 21 goals and sent 10 assists last season, has announced his departure in the form of a video; Atletico Madrid is eager to introduce players to fill the vacancy left by Antoine Griezmann, and Joao Felix has always been their main target.

Seeing that Manchester United has accelerated the pace of negotiations, they are afraid of missing out on such a promising football star. Therefore, the top management of Atletico Madrid immediately took active actions and comprehensively increased the efforts to introduce the player, and immediately launched a more intense and stalemate negotiation game with Benfica Club.

In the following days, the football domino caused by Rowley's visit to Benfica headquarters was officially pushed.

First, the two major mouthpieces of Barcelona Club, "Daily Sports" and "Mundo Deportivo", almost simultaneously revealed the heavy news, claiming that Atletico Madrid player French star Antoine Griezmann will officially join Barcelona Football Club with a transfer fee of 120 million euros (liquidated damages), and the two parties will sign a 5-year contract.

Subsequently, Barcelona Club confirmed the above news and stated in the announcement: As a world-class star, Antoine Griezmann's heavyweight joining will undoubtedly inject strong momentum into the team's front line, and look forward to the French superstar to shine at the Nou Camp.

With the arrival of part of the payment from Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid was further motivated to be more eager to sign Joao Felix to fill the possible gap in the team's strength. During the intense negotiations with Benfica, the offer was continuously raised, and many favorable conditions were successively offered to Benfica and Joao Felix's future career development. After many rounds of fierce confrontations and difficult games, Atletico Madrid successfully brought Joao Felix under its command with a huge transfer fee of 156 million euros, and the two parties signed a 7-year contract. This transfer fee broke some transfer records in the football world at that time, attracting the attention and discussion of the entire football world.

On the night of the announcement, Jorge Mendes called Rowe to express his gratitude. Listening to Jorge Mendes' relaxed expectations, I believe that this agent crocodile must have bitten off a big piece of meat from Atletico Madrid; Rowe found the relevant reports and saw that the news had 30 million euros more than in the previous life, and he kept apologizing to Enrique Cerezo in his heart.

The next morning, Manchester United and Benfica issued an official announcement to the public, announcing that they had reached an agreement on the loan of midfielder Bruno Fernandes. Bruno Fernandes, as a strong midfielder, will be loaned to Benfica for one year. In the loan agreement, the relevant requirements for the number of appearances are clearly and thoroughly stipulated. This move is intended to ensure that Manchester United expects him to get sufficient practical training opportunities in Benfica, so as to maintain a good competitive state, so that he can perform his duties and play a role better after returning to the team after the loan period expires. It is worth mentioning that this loan agreement does not include a buyout clause, which means that Bruno Fernandes will return to Manchester United as planned one year later.

At the same time, Manchester United and Benfica officially announced the transfer of Benfica B striker Gonzalo Ramos. After a comprehensive investigation and rigorous evaluation of the young striker, Manchester United determined that he had good development potential and decided to recruit him for 3 million pounds.

Of course, there is also an announcement about the player's loan in an inconspicuous position on Manchester United's official microblog. The striker Gonzalo Ramos, who just joined the team, will be loaned to the German Holstein Kiel Football Club for two years.

It was not until this time that the media knew that the real purpose of Rowley's visit to Benfica headquarters was the loan of Bruno Fernandes and the introduction of Gonzalo Ramos, but for a club like Manchester United, the loan of a substitute player and the introduction of a young player did not require Rowley, the club chairman, to negotiate in person; therefore, the European media generallyIt is believed that Luo Lie was cooperating with Benfica to act, and the mastermind behind the matter was the agent Jorge Mendes. Of course, the parties involved will not admit this speculation, but the name of "Man Tai" seems to be more famous in some clubs.

And Luo Lie's seemingly game-like move also achieved unexpected surprises.

[Ding! ~~ Detected that the host completed the system's hidden main task: Man Tai 3.0. Reward three diamond-level treasure chests, does the host open them immediately? ]

"An unexpected surprise." Luo Lie said excitedly, "Open, open!"

[Ding! ~~ Congratulations to the host for winning the diamond-level reward and obtaining 350 million pounds of the club's infrastructure construction and upgrade special fund. ]

[Ding! ~~ Congratulations to the host for winning the diamond-level reward and obtaining the Charter Island Manor in London, England and surrounding properties. 】

"Hahahaha, brother Tongzi, you are afraid that I have no place to live. Not bad, not bad!" Luo Lie consciously gave the system a big thumbs up.

[Ding! ~~Please keep working hard. The system rewards a lot. 】

"Open the system panel!" Luo Lie said silently to the system.
