Chapter 1 Join Manchester United
Paper can't wrap the fire. In fact, all the media are staring at Li Yu's transfer. The rumors about Li Yu's transfer have never stopped, but this time it's different.
British ESPN Sports TV first revealed, "Everton Club has now officially pushed their number one star and offensive core to the transfer market, and has been labeled with a psychological price of 38 million pounds, which means that this summer, the Premier League transfer market, which has been immersed in, has finally There is exciting news... Last season, whether it was Manchester United, Arsenal or Chelsea, they were broken by this 20-year-old Everton No. 22 player. The three clubs also bid one after another in the battle for Li Yu, but Manchester United is now at the forefront, getting closer and closer to Li Yu. It's close! In the summer of 2004, Sir Alex Ferguson took away a talented player named Wayne Rooney from Goodison Park. It turned out that Everton's talented player was worthy of such a high transfer fee! Now it's Huaxia LEE's turn!"
The author of this article on ESPN Sports TV should obviously be a Manchester United fan. This article has also aroused the great enthusiasm of Manchester United fans. Let's see who is in the front court of Manchester United now. Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, and Li Yu can sweep any European team, and the vision of Manchester United fans is about to become For reality, the luxurious and horrible Manchester United chariot is sprinting to the great cause of the Triple Crown again!
The Times is a conclusive statement that Manchester United is not the only choice from Everton 22. AC Milan's love for Li Yu has long been no secret. Besides, the key point is that the Italian club is overseas, and Everton will definitely not hope that Li Yu will transfer in the future. Becoming Everton's enemy, perhaps releasing someone to AC Milan is the result they most want to see. Before the three parties sign the contract, no one is sure that they will get Li Yu, including Manchester United.
For Manchester United, whether the Glazer family, which has 'debt acquisition' Manchester United, still has the financial ability to make Sir Alex Ferguson throw a lot of money in the transfer market has also been widely doubtful by the media.
In other words, it's all the media who are catching the wind and shadows. None of the people who really know the inside information have come forward.
As a party, Li Yu has been avoiding any interview request from the media about the transfer, which is also what Ferguson clearly told Li Yu on the phone that he wanted him to do so.
When she learned about Ferguson himself on the other side of the phone, Li Yu knew that the transfer to Manchester United was inseparable, and the following dialogue was very simple. Neither side had the intention of testing and went straight to the point.
In the phone call that day, Ferguson sent an invitation to Li Yu, once again promising the main position and ensuring that the weekly salary can satisfy Li Yu. In fact, this is not the key to the conversation.
"Young man, let's sweep Europe together!"
Ferguson's words made Li Yu excited and full of desire for this transfer. Money is not the main thing. What Li Yu value most is the team. Manchester United has ambition, and Li Yu also has ambition, which is enough.
The player has nodded, and now only the attitude of Everton Club is left.
But now, the Everton Club is also having a headache!
This is a nightmare!
Everton fans began to gather in front of the club to demonstrate and protest against the club president Kenwright's "self-destructed Great Wall" to sell the team's top scorer in the league cup and the club's continuous selling stars for money.
At the gate of Everton Club, there have been fans coming to protest. The fans held banners that were dissatisfied with the club's president Kenwright and shouted the slogan to retain Li Yu. For a while, there was a lot of noise.
Fans didn't believe that Moyes would do such a thing. They targeted club president Kenwright.
During this period, the British media also became really excited, and visited the door of many press clubs every day, even live broadcasts.
"This is the third day of the fans' protest! We are now sending you the report on the spot! ... Angry Everton hopes to hear the club's assurances to ensure that Li Yu will continue to stay in Everton next season!"
Everton Club has been silent about the fans' protests, and there is no news on the official website about Li Yu's possible transfer.
After a few days of excitement, Everton's first-tier players have returned to the team, and the pre-season training begins. Before the training starts, the players' locker room.
"Hi, LEE! Are you really going to transfer? Arteta asked Li Yu.
This problem immediately attracted everyone's attention. These days, teammates have deliberately avoided this problem, but now it seems that Li Rui's transfer is inevitable.
Li Yu stood up and smiled bitterly, "It's just the club's nodding. If it weren't for the Everton fans protesting, maybe I would have been a Manchester United player!"
Arteta said oh, and what else did you want to ask? At this time, the staff came in and said, "Okay, gentlemen, it's time for training. Please hurry up."
Li Yu stood up, pulled the Everton jersey on his body, and was the first to go out. Behind him, other players filed out.
Outside Everton's training ground, it looks a little messy because of the influx of media.
However, on this day, until the end of the training, there was no news, but Everton's press officer came out to announce that a press conference would be held two days later.
However, Li Yu showed a good competitive state during training. In fact, as long as Li Yu touches the ball, Everton fans watching the training off the court will receive enthusiastic applause. The fans hope to keep Li Yu in their own way.
The teammates also cooperated deliberately. After Li Yu got the ball, sometimes he would play a little fancy. At this time, his teammates who defended him also tried not to tackle the ball. They were providing the little brother with the opportunity to perform in the end, so that Li Yu could wield it on the training ground. As we all know, the news two days later What is the news to be announced at the press conference? There are not too many words to say goodbye between men, and everything is in silence.
A day later, on the Everton team's official website on July 10, 2008, a transfer news appeared without warning. Manchester United's French striker Saha signed Everton for free.
Three hours later, the name of another player appeared on Everton's official website, Belgian Fellaini, who joined Everton from Standard Liauge for a transfer fee of 15 million pounds.
The announcement of two consecutive transfer news, Everton Club is to calm the dissatisfaction of the fans. We don't just sell, our club will buy. Please keep calm!
The next day, on the eve of the press conference in Everton, Li Yu came to the training ground not to train, but to say goodbye to her teammates. Li Yu didn't want to say hello, so she left secretly. In this team, he had more than a year of memories, and he also gained a lot here.
He wanted to say goodbye calmly, but he said to himself that he would not be nervous here, so, in fact?
"Guys, I may have to transfer." Li Yu said the first half of the sentence completely, but the second half of the sentence could not be said. She took a deep breath, "I will sign it today. My next stop is... Manchester United..."
Everton players stood up one after another, walked to Li Yu, and patted Li Yu on the shoulder.
"The two living treasures have left, and the locker room will be much quieter!"
"Do it well, we won't show mercy at that time!"
"Learn the car well first, and no one will let you rub the car in the future!"
Everyone said their own words, which is not a farewell blessing, but like the usual jokes with each other!
"Okay, LEE, go and talk to the boss." Neville said.
"Be careful of that Portuguese boy. I can see that he doesn't like you." Arteta sent the last entrustment and saw Li Yu leave the locker room.
After coming out, Li Yu suddenly felt sore in her eyes. If it was melancholy to leave Juventus, then in the face of Everton's teammates, Li Yu was more guilty and ashamed. He thought that he could not fight with them to the end.
Just about to leave, "Wait, it's your treat at a high-end nightclub tonight!" Albert stretched out his head and said loudly.
"No problem, but the wine pipe is enough. MM can find it by himself!" Li Yu smiled and walked to Moyes's office.
That night, no one expected that Moyes also appeared in the nightclub. Not only the head coach, but also the old players who usually went home on time came. With a hearty drunkenness, Li Yu said goodbye to Everton.
Two days later, the official website of Everton Club officially announced that the team's Chinese striker, No. 22 player Li Yu, officially joined the Premier League team Manchester United for 35 million pounds, with additional terms, the total value of this transfer will reach at least 38 million pounds.
Manchester United officially announced at the same time that Li Yu officially joined Manchester United. When the application for labor certificate is completed, there will be a formal joining press conference.
In the afternoon of the same day, the whole page of all British newspapers was the news that Li Yu joined Manchester United. The background is a picture of Li Yu wearing a Manchester United team uniform. This picture is from a computer PS. Before the labor certificate application is approved, Li Yu is not a real Manchester United player, but the media can't control so much. Manchester United uses special Special clauses, with Li Yu's achievements, will definitely pass. Now is the time to grab the news. No one will care about the small details.
At the same time, Chinese fans also learned the news that Li Yu joined Manchester United, and Chinese fans raised their hands in favor. Manchester United is undoubtedly the most popular team in China and even in Asia. There is no better choice than Manchester United. Chinese fans are waiting to see the next good show!
