Football King Bale

Chapter 146 Public Statement

The third round of the Champions League group stage is coming soon, and everyone at Manchester United is working hard to make final preparations for the game.

However, at this moment, an unexpected thing happened suddenly: England's top superstar Rooney submitted a transfer application to Manchester United!

When the little fat man did not show up at the training ground the day before the match day, the Manchester United players had some premonitions. Sure enough, at the pre-match press conference, Ferguson announced this matter.

This immediately caused a huge shock in the football world.

As one of the core players of Manchester United in recent years and the top player of the England national team, although the development of the little fat boy in recent years has not been as expected, he is definitely one of the few superstars in today's football. His ability and influence are not to mention the top three. Five, at least in the top ten.

It is really surprising that such a big-name player suddenly submitted a transfer request to the club, and it was still in the middle of the season when it was not a transfer window.

Then Rooney issued a public statement in the "Manchester Evening News", which confirmed his transfer. As for the reason for leaving the team, Rooney admitted that it was the club's lack of respect for him that made him unhappy at Manchester United.

In a public statement, Rooney said that he had a meeting with team CEO David Gill last week, but David Gill did not give him any guarantees. Then Rooney said that he would not sign a new contract with Manchester United. Will look at any possible new clubs in the future.

Rooney said in a statement: "I was interested and surprised to hear what Ferguson said yesterday. It is absolutely true. As he said, in August my agent offered me a contract extension. The premise is that the team must show enough respect for me in the new contract, and I should receive a salary that is consistent with my performance and status."

"I've been lucky enough to be a part of Manchester United for the past six years and I have complete respect for this team, which has a great history. I think I've contributed enough to Manchester United over the past six years. "I have won a lot of honors for the team, so I think it is reasonable for me to ask for a salary that is consistent with my performance and status."

"It was very difficult to make the decision to leave Manchester United. I know that I will always be in debt to Sir Alex Ferguson. He was a great coach and life mentor. I joined Manchester United from Everton at the age of 18 and he has been silently behind the scenes. support me."

"I think Manchester United cannot lack Ferguson. I hope he can continue to coach. In this field, he is really a genius."

………………

This statement clearly and thoroughly demonstrated Rooney's own attitude. It was obviously the fat man's attempt to force Manchester United and Ferguson into submission.

According to outside reports, the contract extension proposed by Manchester United has a weekly salary of only 120,000 pounds, which is far lower than the 150,000 pounds weekly salary of Bell introduced by the team this summer, and even less than the 200,000 pounds he requested. There is an insurmountable gap in weekly wages.

This made Rooney very dissatisfied. He believed that as the top and core player of Manchester United, he had played for the team for six years and the treatment he received was not as good as that of a young man like Bell. This was Manchester United's treatment of him. Disrespectful.

As soon as Rooney's public statement came out, the football world suddenly became noisy, and there was news about Rooney's transfer everywhere.

"The Daily Telegraph" said Rooney intends to go to Manchester City because the other party can meet his weekly salary requirement of 200,000 pounds.

The news from The Independent has frightened some Manchester United fans, who feel that the team may lose money and personnel because of a loophole in FIFA that may allow Rooney to leave Manchester United for 5 million pounds. According to Webster's rules, Rooney can use his current annual salary to buy out the last year of his contract.

"The Sun" said that they interviewed Chelsea coach Ancelotti, and the Italian coach said that if Manchester United really wanted to sell Rooney, then he would be interested in buying him. They also said that Rooney's decision to leave Manchester United was directly related to his lack of protection from Ferguson. The two men have not spoken since the scandal about Rooney's personal life came to light in September and tensions began to arise between Rooney and Ferguson.

The "Daily Mirror" even said in a serious manner that Manchester City planned to bid for Rooney for 100 million pounds, of which 50 million pounds was the transfer fee to Manchester United, and the other half was paid to Rooney's salary.

………………

Looking at the numerous responsible reports, Bell was a little dumbfounded. Because before this, the relationship between him and Rooney had just improved, why did it suddenly become like this again?

Judging from Rooney's statement, his higher salary than him was the direct reason for his transfer. This was completely different from the reason why the fat boy forced her into the womb in my memory. In my memory, Rooney also made a move this year, but the reason was that he felt that Manchester United did not recruit well in the summer and did not introduce world-class stars, so he felt that the club had no ambitions, so he planned to leave.

After thinking about it for a while, Bell felt that the reason why Rooney asked to leave now was what he really wanted to say. Anyway, in a word, I just want to get more money.

However, Bale feels that Rooney has little hope of Manchester United meeting his demand for a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds. That is the highest salary in football, higher than Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, the two most popular players in football today. But why does he want the highest salary in football?

I'm afraid, the little fat man had to make concessions in the end, because in another time and space, he ended up renewing his contract with Manchester United with a weekly salary of 140,000 pounds. The little fat man was indispensable at Manchester United at that time. Manchester United could not bear the consequences of losing its number one star and must have made some concessions. But now that Manchester United has itself, it has more confidence and confidence to negotiate with Rooney. Maybe he won't even get his original contract with a weekly salary of 140,000 pounds.

As for a transfer, Bell thinks it is very unlikely. Because in today's football, there are too few teams that can meet Rooney's requirements. The two Western Premier League teams have no desire to buy him. Only Chelsea and Manchester City have some ideas.

However, what Chelsea really wants is Torres. In this winter transfer window, Torres may have to go to Chelsea for 50 million pounds. As for Manchester City, their target is Atletico Madrid's Aguero. They said they wanted to buy Rooney, more out of disgust with Manchester United, or even to shake the morale of Manchester United's military. There was not much sincerity.

Bell shook his head, none of this had much to do with him. If Rooney can finally stay, it will be a good supplement for Manchester United, but even if he leaves, it will not have much impact on Manchester United this season. Because there are Berbatov and Hernandez on the front line. As for next summer, other targets can be introduced then.

………………

Amidst the chaos, the third round of the Champions League group stage began.

On the first match day, the last four groups were played. As a result, in the eight games played on the night of the 19th local time, Roma lost 1:2 at home to Basel of Switzerland, and Bayern defeated Crewe 3:2 at home. On the same day, Spartak Moscow lost 0:2 at home to Chelsea, Marseille defeated Zilina 1:0 at home, Ajax defeated Auxerre 2:1, Real Madrid defeated AC Milan 2:0 at home, and Arsenal defeated Showing their strength, they defeated Shakhtar 5:1 at home, and Braga also defeated Partizan Belgrade at home.

After these eight games, the second match day will come soon, and Manchester United will also play on this day. The opponent is Bursaspor of Turkey.

This campaign is the first confrontation between the two clubs, but Manchester United has played against Turkish clubs 10 times before, and the record is not advantageous. Among them, they have 5 home games, 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. They played at home in November last year. They lost 0:1 against Besiktas; the only time Bursa faced an English club was a 4:0 sweep at Wimbledon.

In this game, Ferguson made a significant rotation of Manchester United's starting lineup. Many quasi-main players, including Macheda, Smallin and Kuszczak, got starting opportunities. Rooney, who announced before the game that he was determined to leave the team, was excluded. In addition to the roster, veterans such as Scholes, Edwin van der Sar and Ferdinand were also rested, and even Berbatov and Hernandez were on the bench at the start.

Although many main players were rotated, Bell, who had just returned to Manchester from Switzerland, still appeared in the starting lineup. So far this season, Manchester United has played 11 games. Of the 9 games Bell has played, Manchester United has won 7. Ferguson feels that this kid is the guarantee of the team's victory. As for the media saying that Manchester United is suffering from Bell dependence, he doesn't care at all. It's a good thing to have players you can rely on. It's really sad to have players like Liverpool who can't rely on anyone, not even Torres and Gerrard.

………………

Manchester United has performed well this season, with 9 wins and 2 draws in 11 official games. It remains undefeated in the league, Champions League and League Cup. It is also the only undefeated team in England on these three fronts.

This makes fans have high expectations for the team, and at the same time, the enthusiasm for going to the stadium to watch games is also high.

In fact, Manchester United's home attendance rate has been good since entering the Premier League era, but this is especially true this season. Basically, the attendance rate in every game is close to 100%. If it weren't for the fact that some empty seats had to be left to separate home and away fans in accordance with security regulations, the attendance at Old Trafford would have been full.

The same is true for this game. On the surface, there are basically no empty seats in the huge Old Trafford stadium.

However, the flags that appeared on one of the stands in the stadium seemed a bit unharmonious.

"Who's the whore now? Colleen forgive you, Wayne, we don't!"

Obviously, this was an act of protest by Manchester United fans against Rooney's public announcement of leaving the team.

The appearance of this flag also made Rooney, who was sitting in the box in the stands, look ugly.
