Football King Bale

As soon as the Manchester derby with Manchester City ended, the entire Manchester United team took almost no rest and boarded the luxury business jet provided by the Glazer family to fly to Japan to participate in the Club World Cup.

The Manchester Derby started at 1:30 noon and ended at around 3:00 in the afternoon. The Manchester United team's business jet took off from Manchester International Airport at 5:00 in the afternoon.

After a flight of more than ten hours, when the Manchester United team arrived in Japan, it was already past 11 noon the next day.

Because they got a good rest on the plane at night, every one of the Manchester United teammates was in good spirits when they got off the plane. However, because the first Club World Cup match they participated in, which is the Club World Cup semi-final against the Mexican team Monterrey, will be played on the night of the 12th Tokyo time, there is only a little more than two days of preparation time, plus There was jet lag in the game, so Ferguson did not let the Manchester United players go out and hang out. Instead, he strictly ordered everyone to stay in the hotel to rest and get rid of the jet lag.

Manchester United still attaches great importance to this year's Club World Cup, mainly because of the "gold content" of this year's championship. According to information received, the total prize money for this year's Club World Cup is as high as US$16.5 million. The winning team can receive US$5 million, and even the seventh-ranked team can receive US$500,000.

Five million US dollars is not a small number. Even a super giant like Manchester United will not ignore it, especially when it only needs to win two games to get it.

The multiple-choice question is very simple: do you win two games and get $5 million, or win one and lose one and get $4 million?

As for getting less bonuses, the Red Devils have no corresponding concept in their minds.
