Chapter 274 Strike Back

"That's really a pity." Ferguson smiled helplessly. He didn't expect that Zhang Yang would refuse him so simply that there was no room for manoeuvre.

"Yes, it's a pity." Zhang Yang also nodded, "Jazz has always been one of my most respected coaches. You and your team are one of the best teams in the Premier League. However, we may become opponents.

"Have you decided? Are you going to the Premier League? Ferguson almost stood up in shock. He immediately realized this. The operation of Zhang Yang's transfer seemed to be deeper than he realized. Hearing this, he had entered the final stage, and it was very likely that the new owner was from the Premier League. "Is it Chelsea?"

When Zhang Yang heard Ferguson ask this question, the boy remembered a rumor, and he deliberately asked, "Sir, why don't you suspect it's Arsenal?"

Ferguson sneered, " Arsenal? He doesn't have that kind of courage.

Zhang Yang smiled and said that Sir Ferguson and Professor Wenger were sworn in the sworn. It was really good. The Lord's words were very damaging. Not to say that Arsenal had no money, but that Arsenal's head coach Wenger did not have such courage, because everyone knew that if Zhang Yang transferred, the transfer fee would be very amazing. To be sure, It is almost predictable to break Zidane's transfer record of 56 million euros. In Ferguson's opinion, Wenger will not be willing to take out the money to buy people.

Regarding Arsenal and Wenger, Mendes once conducted a special analysis for Zhang Yang. Mr. 'Super Broker' read it thoroughly and agrees with Ferguson's opinion. Arsenal is not without money, but lacks courage.

Although he has not won any major championships on the court in the past four seasons, Wenger, as Arsenal's head coach, is rarely strongly questioned. In addition to the three league championships and four FA Cup titles won for Arsenal in the past, Wenger is thrifty in player transfer fees and salary expenses. It is very well praised. At Arsenal, Wenger adheres to a weekly salary cap of 80,000 pounds and the annual signing policy for players after the age of 30.

And in the 12th year of Arsenal, his single transfer fee record was only 23.2 million pounds of Reyes in January 2004. The transfer fee of 23.2 million pounds is indeed a lot, but for a rich family, this is actually their most expensive transfer, especially in business conditions. For the Premier League, which has always been good, it is really shabby.

People have always believed that Arsenal's financial situation is not very good, especially the construction of a new stadium, which has put a heavy financial burden on Arsenal. However, not long ago, Arsenal released its financial report for the last season. The Arsenal SupportersTrust concluded after analyzing the financial report that Arsenal's current total salaries of players and coaches are about 100 million pounds. This is just a relative average, and the reality is that it is rising every year.

The Arsenal Fan Foundation is a small-share shareholder consortium of Gunners. It has the power to investigate Arsenal's accounts. Based on the independent posture of the board of directors, its opinions and tendencies can also influence the decision-making of the board of directors. Therefore, their conclusions are quite authoritative.

At the same time, Chelsea's financial report was that the total salary of players and coaches was 120 million pounds, which included the compensation paid by Chelsea for the dismissal of Grant and the huge salary for the new coach Scolari. Only then did people find that Arsenal's salary expenses were almost the same as Chelsea's! In the whole Premier League, it is second only to Manchester United.

It can be seen that Arsenal are not without money. They have a lot of surplus every season, second only to Manchester United. However, Wenger has always adhered to the idea of breaking even, saying: "Professional football is about winning and balancing accounts. This is the most basic law, and I work for it. Everything else is self-deception. Every club faces the same problem, and I always look forward to financial fair competition. The club belongs to the fans, and that's what I think is my duty to keep the club in good financial condition.

Therefore, Arsenal's contraction in the transfer market is also due to this so-called balance-even strategy.

Therefore, although Arsenal coach Wenger has always appreciated Zhang Yang, and even the first coach to pay attention to Zhang Yang's illegal League, Arsenal has been out of luck with Zhang Yang because he is unwilling to bear the high transfer fee. You know, at that time, Arsenal only needed more than 20 million pounds to get it. Zhang Yang. However, Wenger hesitated.

Therefore, among the many suitors, although Arsenal has always been there, Zhang Yang was the first to exclude Arsenal. He really has no interest in a club with a weekly salary of 80,000 pounds and the top salary. In the words of publicity, it's too pettish.

Manchester United is much more generous than Arsenal. Lord Fu has always been known for his courage. At that time, he could spend a lot of money for Ferdinand as a defender, creating a sky-high record for the transfer of defenders.

It's just that because in Manchester United, it is almost the same as Zhang Yang in AC Milan. Tactically, he can't be the only core and the flag of the team.

It can be said that the magnificent blueprint planned by Manchester City Club Chairman Alfa Im for Manchester City and their willingness to pay 100 million pounds for Zhang Yang, which is the basis for Zhang Yang's heart. However, they have strengthened the core position of Zhang Yang and used him to form a super luxurious team, which is the most touching for Zhang Yang. In a word, Zhang Yang is a very self-centered person in his bones. He enjoys the feeling that he is the focus and the most important one.

Mourinho once told Mendes that Zhang Yang is very similar to him in some places, which is what he refers to.

Zhang Yang did not tell Ferguson exactly which club he transferred to, and he could not tell the truth at this time. However, learning that Zhang Yang's future is in the Premier League is enough to attract Ferguson's attention. He appreciates Zhang Yang very much. In last season's Champions League, Manchester United and AC Milan also played directly. Zhang Yang's lethality is amazing. Ferguson is impressed. Now he knows that Zhang Yang is likely to land in the Premier League next season. This will be a big variable for Manchester United to win the league championship next season.

In addition, in Ferguson's opinion, although Zhang Yang did not admit it himself, looking at this situation, the only one who can get publicity may be Chelsea.

This made Ferguson more vigilant. Chelsea replaced Arsenal when Mourinho was the head coach and became Manchester United's biggest opponent in the Premier League. However, Chelsea had civil strife last season. Mourinho was dismissed, and Israeli Grant took over. Under the internal and diplomatic difficulties of Chelsea, they finally lost to Manchester United in the league championship and Manchester United in the Champions League final. However, now, if Zhang Yang joins Chelsea, and Chelsea has established the new coach Scolari, this brand-new Chelsea will pose a great threat to Manchester United. Although Ferguson was interviewed by ESPN, he disdained Chelsea's new coach Scolari, saying that Scolari was not suitable for the rhythm of the Premier League, but after all, the Lord must be very careful in his heart.

"Is it confirmed?" Ferguson finally asked again without giving up. At this moment, in the Lord's heart, if possible, he would try his best to cut off the Zhang Yang's transfer.

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Yes, Jorge and the other party have fully communicated. Although they have not officially signed the contract, there is almost no possibility that the talks will collapse. Their needs for me are also very urgent and sincere, unless they can't reach an agreement with AC Milan and Milan won't sell me.

AC Milan doesn't sell publicity anymore? Of course, Ferguson doesn't believe this. He is an old fox. He has smelled it for a long time and knows that there is a problem between Milan and Zhang Yang. AC Milan must have made a decision to sell Zhang Yang for economic interests. Therefore, Ferguson came out in person at the risk of being discovered by the media to make a standoff with AC Milan. Maybe, come and lobby for publicity. I just didn't expect that it had been first logged in by others.

Ferguson couldn't help sighing. He could only say that he had no fate. He was very happy with Zhang Yang. Although the media reported on Zhang Yang that this boy was so individualistic, how unruly and disobedient he was, in Ferguson's eyes, this was nothing at all. After the hand of Lord Ferguson** Are there still fewer thorny stars? Which one is not obedient to Ferguson**?

Moreover, in these two contacts with Zhang Yang, Ferguson had a good impression of Zhang Yang. He felt that this boy was not as unbearable as the media said, and he also respected him, so Ferguson was more determined to buy Zhang Yang.

It's a pity that I still can't convince Zhang Yang. Ferguson also saw that Zhang Yang really has no intention to join Manchester United. Otherwise, he hasn't signed a contract yet, and he can completely break the contract.

Moreover, the old Scottish man can vaguely guess the reason why Zhang Yang refused Manchester United.

Ferguson can now imagine that after Chelsea has Zhang Yang, who is definitely a super scorer, coupled with the foundation of Chelsea's championship in the past few seasons, how terrible Chelsea will be next season. Zhang Yang's joining will make it difficult for Manchester United to compete for the Premier League next season. A lot.

However, as the godfather of Manchester United, Ferguson has not experienced any scenes, regrets and losses or even a blow. He quickly regained his composure. After knowing that the trip was fruitless, Ferguson also knew that there was no need to continue the conversation. The Lord immediately got up and said, "It's a pity that I have I have a feeling that missing you will be the biggest regret in my coaching career. Well, if there is any change in your negotiations with that side, you must call me first, and I will greet you in person at Old Trafford.

Zhang Yang could feel the sincerity of the Lord, and he also nodded, "Thank you, Jazz, for your kindness. If this is possible, I will definitely call you."

When sending Ferguson out, Zhang Yang suddenly remembered something. He suddenly asked Ferguson to stay, and then said something to a servant.

Ferguson did not stop Zhang Yang's behavior. He watched Zhang Yang pour red wine into two glasses.

Zhang Yang handed a glass to Ferguson, and then the young man smiled and said to the greatest godfather in Manchester United's history, "Dear Sir, maybe next time we see you again, we are already enemies. Now, let's drink to that day in advance."

Ferguson also laughed and took the glass handed over by Zhang Yang cheerfully and said, "Cheers to the enemy."

"Cheers to the enemy." Zhang Yang also laughed. He applauded the old man for his pride. He liked this old man. I like it very much. Unfortunately, it's really not easy to play football under this old man.

Ferguson drank all the wine in the glass and turned around and strode away. Zhang Yang sent this respectable old man downstairs with emotion.

At this time, whether it was Zhang Yang or Ferguson, neither of them knew that someone saw all this in a secret place and quickly pressed the shutter.

Zhang Yang thought it was a secret for him to return to Milan, but he ignored his current influence. These days, there have been reporters waiting at Zhang Yang's residence to see when he will come back. More than half a month has passed, and Zhang Yang is still staying in China. Therefore, some reporters have gradually withdrawn, but There are still a few people sticking to it. They firmly believe that their hard work will be rewarded. No, the reward is coming!

The next day, the front page headline of Torino Sports was a very clear photo, but the person in the photo, if matched with the huge title, can still see who the two people are, just as the meaning expressed in this huge bold headline:

"Ferguson's night visit to Zhang Yang, Chinese striker is about to join Manchester United"

The latest issue of Turin Sports has attracted the attention of fans with such a prominent headline!

This hot title, especially that photo, everything seems to show that this is by no means intentional hype and gimmick.

For a while, this report of the Torino Sport was also reprinted by the media throughout Europe and the world, and its influence expanded rapidly.

In China, Sports Weekly, the most influential print sports media, is also using the biggest title on the front page: sky-high trading! Countdown to Zhang Yang's joining Manchester United!

In the eyes of many people, this news seems to be true, because for a long time, Manchester United's godfather Ferguson has not concealed his love for Zhang Yang. Lord Fu even compared Zhang Yang with Cantona in those years. In other words, Zhang Yang's talent is comparable to that of Cantona in those years. In addition, Cantona's thorn All the children can do well at Manchester United, and it's okay to show it up. Moreover, everyone knows that Manchester United needs a striker now. After Van Nistruy left, Manchester United's front line has not been very reassuring. Ferguson has said more than once that he wants to find someone to share the pressure on Cristiano Ronaldo's shoulder, so this also makes the outside world more suspicious of AC Milan. The future of Chinese shooters is at Old Trafford Stadium!

In fact, Manchester United has always been at the forefront of the media's speculation. Unlike Real Madrid and Chelsea, which are somewhat turbulent at this stage, Manchester United is the most stable, and Lord Ferre's position is very strong. He likes to show off, which is the biggest proof that Zhang Yang may join Manchester United.

The reason why the outside world is not too optimistic that Manchester United can get publicity is mainly skeptical about whether Manchester United can come up with a transfer budget that may be sky-high. After all, the Glazer family has limited financial resources. When acquiring Manchester United, it is a debt acquisition. Now it is not too much to say that it is too short of money.

It's just that Titan Steve, a columnist for The Times, said that you should never despise Ferguson's determination. He believes that once Ferguson vows to be publicized, anything can happen.

In terms of which Premier League team has the most fans in China, there is only one answer, that is, Manchester United, the Red Devils Manchester United. Although Arsenal's record in the past few seasons was not bad, especially in the 2003-2004 season, Arsenal won the championship with an unbeaten record, allowing Arsenal fans in China. However, in terms of number and momentum, Manchester United fans still account for a large proportion in China. As for other countries in Asia, Manchester United has a large number of fans.

Therefore, the rumor that Zhang Yang may join Manchester United has made Chinese Manchester United fans ecstatic. My favorite team can have the most popular football star in China, which makes Manchester United fans ecstatic and almost set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Manchester United fans are ecstatic, but the fans of other European giants are naturally a little unbalanced. Chelsea is also one of the many giants who pursue publicity. They sarcastically say that if they don't have money to buy people, don't join in the fun.

However, Manchester United fans soon took the photos of Ferguson's night visit to Zhang Yang. They obviously thought that Lord Ferguer had finished Zhang Yang.

Those paparazzi took photos of Zhang Yang and Ferguson's 'youting', which suddenly put Zhang Yang, who had returned to Milan, on the forefront of the storm again.

Now, AC Milan fans are angry. After contacting the previous reports, they have every reason to think that Zhang Yang did betray AC Milan.

At this time, in Milan, many Milan executives, including Berlusconi, are anxious. It seems that Zhang Yang will not agree to join Manchester City, and it seems to be closer to Manchester City.

And Ancelotti is lamenting that in this situation, even if Milan and Manchester City do not reach an agreement, it is impossible for Zhang Yang to stay in Milan. AC Milan's attitude to deal with this matter completely angered Zhang Yang, and the two sides completely turned against each other. Thinking that a month ago, Zhang Yang was the biggest contributor to Milan to win the championship, but now In this way, Ancelotti also sighed for a while.

Of course, there are also happy people, that is Pierre, the eldest son of Berlusconi. Berlusconi, in his opinion, the behavior of Zhang Yang and Ferguson's private meeting confirmed Zhang Yang's betrayal of Milan. Then, Milan's sale of Zhang Yang will not arouse the disgust of the fans at all, because the disgust of the fans will be completely concentrated on Zhang Yang.

So, the next day's Republic Daily once again attacked Zhang Yang, believing that Zhang Yang had been seduced by other big teams. In order to get a high salary, he chose to leave Milan, which was a betrayal of Milan fans and the whole team.

Maybe Zhang Yang's silence all the time has made some people miscalculate the situation. They think that Zhang Yang will continue to be silent this time.

However, they seem to have forgotten a sentence, that is, 'Rabbit bites people when he is anxious'. What's more, Zhang Yang is not a good person at it. He just has feelings for the team he has played for a season. He is a nostalgic young man who doesn't want to turn his face when he leaves, but someone has done it again and again. When provoking his bottom line, Zhang Yang broke out as a matter of course.

In fact, many people are waiting for Zhang Yang to break out. According to Zhang Yang's personality analysis, this Chinese young man will definitely not keep silent. I have to say that this time, the media is very accurate.

Now, Zhang Yang is at the door of Milan's residence, which can be said to be quite lively.

Many fans carry banners and shout slogans there. These fans are divided into two parts, one of which is to attack and curse. They think that Zhang Yang chose to leave Milan for money and betrayed them. Another part of the fans came to retain Zhang Yang. They don't think that Zhang Yang did this kind of thing for money. They pleaded with Zhang Yang to stand up and swear his love for Milan.

In addition, when he learned that Zhang Yang had returned to his home in Milan, the media also flocked to his doorstep one after another and asked Zhang Yang whether it was true about his 'might' with Ferguson and reaching an agreement in private, and whether the Republic criticized him for choosing to leave Milan for financial gain. It's true.

"No, these are all rumors. I'm still a player of AC Milan, and my contract with the team will expire in 3 years! The jersey I'm wearing now is still red and black. Zhang Yang said.

Among the fans below, some people applauded and some booed and messed up.

Many reporters are also very dissatisfied. Such an answer is really nothing new. It can't be said that it is not Zhang Yang's loyalty to Milan, nor is it Zhang Yang's declaration of leaving.

Then they continued to question Zhang Yang about the meeting between Zhang Yang and Ferguson.

"Meeting with Ferguson?" Zhang Yang looked at these people and continued, "Yes, Sir Ferguson did come to my house. However, he had a meeting with my agent Mendes. The focus of the meeting was not on me, but Cristiano Ronaldo. As you know, Cristiano Ronaldo is also a player of Mendes. Let's go.

Hearing that Zhang Yang pushed things away, some reporters were angry, "Zhang, do you think we are children? Ferguson came all the way to your house to talk about Cristiano Ronaldo?

Zhang Yang looked at the reporter coldly and continued, "You are too anxious. I haven't finished yet. As the host, I naturally want to send Sir Alex Ferguson away. When I left, Jazz jokingly asked me, do you want to play football at Manchester United?

Now, the media is excited. Naturally, they won't care what Zhang Yang said is that Ferguson jokingly said. They also know that Zhang Yang said this to avoid trouble. After all, a head coach has private contact with a player, which is prohibited by FIFA, although in fact, many teams are against this. I don't care about the ban.

These reporters and fans all want to know about Zhang Yang's answer.

Zhang Yang didn't let everyone wait. He continued, "I told the Lord that this joke is not funny at all, and I'm not interested in joining Manchester United."

He shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's how it is."

The reporters were so excited that they would not report as Zhang Yang said. In their report, it was definitely Ferguson's solemn invitation, while the Milan Sagittarius chose to decline after a painful choice.

Just as the reporters below were talking, Zhang Yang suddenly smiled and said, "Well, I have also explained this matter. So, now, it's time for us to talk about business."

"Is it business?"

"What do you mean?"

"What's the business?"

"Is it?"

The reporters were stunned, and then suddenly excited. Is Zhang Yang going to respond to the rumors about his transfer these days and those accusations?

Haha, I have known for a long time that this boy would not swallow his anger. Unexpectedly, it broke out today.

Both the reporters at the scene and the fans who protested or supported the publicity, all calmed down.

At this time, Johnny, a black bodyguard, came up and handed a loudspeaker to Zhang Yang.

The reporters at the scene rolled their eyes. There were many microphones at the scene. The boy actually didn't need any of them, and asked someone to bring this loudspeaker.

It's really a flamboyant style.

At the same time, they are also excited, and they are more and more eager to hear what Zhang Yang will say...

PS: The first update. Ask for a red ticket.
