King of Competition

Chapter 187 Report 2

Such talk became rare the next day, because the next day was the day when the England team gathered, and they had begun to prepare for the World Cup qualifiers, so the mainstream direction of discussion in the popular English media became the England team, Erikson, an English player and so on. ..

However, there is another more exciting news on this day, that is, the Premier League giant Manchester United officially announced the successful purchase of Everton striker Rooney, with a transfer fee of up to 27 million pounds. At the same time, Rooney also signed a six-year contract with Manchester United until June 30, 2010.

Many English media estimate that Rooney's weekly salary at Manchester United is about 50,000 pounds.

Such a weekly salary is only in the middle and upper reaches of the current Premier League, which is the same as Don Jack's weekly salary. However, the players who spent 25 million pounds spent by Manchester United to buy and signed a six-year contract. In order to reduce risks, it is obviously impossible for Manchester United to agree to give Rooney a higher salary immediately. After all, Lu Ni is just a young player, not a veteran with a steady performance.

In fact, when I reported the news about Jack Don the morning before, this matter was already abuzz.

At noon, 18-year-old Rooney and Manchester United doctor Mike. Stone arrived at Manchester United's Carrington training base together. At that time, people thought that there was no problem with the transfer deal. The Guardian said that Manchester United reached an agreement with Everton on Rooney's transfer on the night of the 30th, but Everton Club spokesman Ian Ross said in the morning: "We only agree with Wayne ( Rooney) went for a physical examination. But I must emphasize that no agreement has been reached between the clubs. We always say that we are looking forward to the most favorable contracts for the club and the fans, which is what we want to do.

Subsequently, Manchester United has reached an agreement on the main issues of the transfer through the official website, and some details are still under negotiation, and all the contract details will be announced later after the transfer is reached. However, before 7 p.m. British local time, the two clubs in Manchester and Liverpool did not state the result of the transfer.

The negotiations between the two sides suddenly reached a dramatic stalemate, and the reason for the 8-hour waiting was Rooney's injury to his right leg. Manchester United wanted to confirm Rooney's right leg injury. Rooney entered Bupa Hospital three times to check the injury. After Carrington's training finally completed the physical examination, Rooney rushed to Old Trafford and the representative of Manchester United. Sign the final contract.

But in the end, the two teams reached an agreement.

Manchester United officially announced that Rooney completed the transfer, and Rooney and Ferguson entered Old Trafford Stadium to be filmed by Manchester United TV. Rooney wore the club's No. 8 jersey and a club scarf, while Ferguson beside him was jubilant. Later, Manchester United also announced the details of the transfer.

This is a real blockbuster deal. Manchester United should pay Everton's transfer fee of 27 million pounds. Such a huge amount can't even be taken out at one time. This is a season's transfer fund.

The way the two clubs use is to pay in installments. Manchester United immediately paid 10 million pounds, and the other 10 million pounds will be paid before August 1, 2005. In the next five years, Everton can also get up to 7 million pounds of additional transfer fees from Manchester United, depending on Lu. Whether Ni is still a Manchester United player three years later, whether he has won success for Manchester United, and how many times he has played.

Such a contract is very complicated, but in general, Rooney's transfer has brought at least more than 20 million pounds to Everton.

With 20 million pounds of funds, Everton may be able to sign two good players to increase the team's strength in the future. To be honest, this is what Liverpool really doesn't want to see. Don Jack also thinks it's really not good. The important thing is that in the city of Liverpool, Don Jack has fully realized something. It's called the competition of the same city club.

The hatred between Liverpool and Everton is really deep into the bone marrow, which has been inherited since the birth of the Liverpool team.

In 1878, Everton Club was founded in Liverpool. Six years later, the local brewer Hodin provided a new venue for the club. The venue is located on Anfield Road. Hodin and several other brewers share ownership. Hodin also owns the Sutton Hotel near the stadium for players to change clothes. Use it for meetings with the club.

Everton, which has a new field, has gradually grown. It won the League One championship in 1891, and thousands of fans came to watch the game every week.

At this time, Holding had begun to serve as the president of the club. He was unbalanced with the development of the team, so he unilaterally asked to double the team's rental fee for using the stadium in the next four years. At the same time, he required that all service industries inside and outside the stadium must be monopolized by his company. His approach angered other directors of the club, including Mahon, the organist of the famous local Santo Domingo Church, who was never used to the club's cooperation with the beer industry, so he joined with Dr. Bexter, another director of the club, and successfully persuaded the club to leave Anfield Road. The stadium came to the Goodison Park Stadium, where it is now.

Holding suddenly found that his field and the increasingly perfect football facilities around him were useless. In desperation, he cooperated with his friends, reorganized a team, and registered the name "Everton" first, which annoyed the original Everton club board of directors. On March 15, 1892, the club officially expelled Hoding from the club's board of directors.

The English Football Federation decided that only Mahone and Bexter's Everton team would be legal. Hodin had no choice but to change the name of the new team to "Liverpool". The name seems to represent the whole of Liverpool, and Everton is angry and helpless.

So from the day of birth, the two teams have become sworn enemies.

These are only historical issues, but with the gradual development of hatred between the two teams, the conflict between the fans of the two teams has intensified, and the competition of the team has begun to be stained with religion.

Everton's fans are more pure Catholics, while Liverpool fans are mostly Protestants. When something has some religious color, it becomes very complicated. The conflict between Liverpool fans and Everton fans has been happening. In this case, both clubs can't control it, which makes When players from both teams appear in public, they will be harassed by the other's fans.

For example, Don Jack went to a Chinese restaurant for dinner every day. I don't know how this matter was heard by Everton fans. One day, he was even scolded and scolded by two Everton fans on the road.

More than that. Sometimes he takes a taxi, and some taxi drivers don't do his business directly.

This made Don Jack feel very embarrassed and helpless, and he also experienced the trouble of becoming famous. After becoming famous, there are not only fans who like you, but also many fans who hate you...
