Star card system.

This year is 2020, and Xia Xing's contract expires in two years.

Xia Xing is not in a hurry, but Manchester United is.

Today's Manchester United can do without anyone, but it cannot do without Xia Xing.

From the night after the Europa League final, Solskjaer approached Xia Xing to discuss contract renewal.

But Xia Xing did not express his position.

Solskjaer didn't want to force the pursuit, so he simply asked the club to come forward to negotiate again.

The club directly approached Xia Xing's agent Mendes and politely discussed the player's contract renewal.

Mendes' answer is very Chinese.

"Look."

This sentence "Let's see" made Manchester United a little confused.

Do you want to renew the contract?
In the end, Solskjaer found Xia Xing privately and asked about the contract extension again.

Xia Xing's answer was also very firm.

He made several requests.

"First, Pogba has to go.

"I still say the same thing, if he doesn't leave, I will leave!
“Secondly, I want to see the ambition of the team.

“The signings must be worthy of the team’s goals!

"Third, I hope the team can make plans to upgrade training facilities.

"Our training environment and equipment are too old!"

Solskjaer conveyed Xia Xing's three requests to the management word for word.

At the board meeting, when several senior executives heard these words, they frowned.

They didn't like any of these three questions.

The first question is, must Pogba leave?

Even if you Xia Xing is a super giant, you can't always provoke the management, right?

You always criticize this player management issue, isn't it too much?
Last summer, when Xia Xing proposed one of the two options, Manchester United's management was already a little dissatisfied.

But due to feelings and Xia Xing's strength, they finally compromised.

Now that Xia Xing has raised this issue again, the club is naturally very unhappy.

The second question is, do you want to increase your signings?

Joke, are we weak? Not small at all!
Moreover, our team is a bit bloated and we have to rent out some young people.

The strength of our team now is the strength of the six-time champion, and there is no need to continue to strengthen it.

5000 million is enough.

The third question, upgrade training facilities?

It’s a joke, you are just a player, do you know how much this upgrade will cost?
At least a few million.

It works for now, so just stick to it.

Of the three issues, the club management has no intention of solving any of them.

However, they still made enough gestures.

The sports department manager personally visited Xia Xing with a smile on his face.

“I will explain the three questions you raised to you in person today.

"The first is Pogba's problem.

"Now that Pogba is injured again, we can't sell him at all?
"Even if you hate him, the club wants to sell him, at least until he recovers from his injury.
"At least it has to be sold at a good price, right?

"The second is the issue of the team's transfer fee. I think there is no problem." I have asked the transfer department to find Solskjaer to get the list of transfer intentions.

"We are also in contact with the other party's agent and, if appropriate,
"The club will definitely increase the transfer fee, I guarantee you.

"The third is to upgrade the training facilities. This is a big project and we will need some time.

“Especially now that the global economic downturn is severe, our club has been greatly affected.

"But don't worry, we have already started drafting an upgrade plan and are preparing to implement the upgrade plan in several stages.

“We must speed up.

"Here are the answers to the three questions you asked,

"what do you think?"

Looking at the fake smile of the sports manager opposite, Xia Xing had no expression on his face.

Ha ha.

You think I'm so fooled, don't you?

Does this kind of prevarication make sense?
Pogba's injury problem is indeed a trouble, and I tolerate it.

But when it comes to signings, this is a complete cliche.

What does "if it's suitable" mean? With your stingy ways, can it be suitable?

Now Xia Xing can see that the club does not have that much trust in Solskjaer at all.

Look at the transfer fee given to the head coach before, and look at it now, it's not at the same level at all.

It seems that Manchester United still does not fully regard Solskjaer as the future of the team.

According to Mendes, Manchester United is even privately examining candidates for the new head coach.

A Europa League championship and a Premier League championship cannot satisfy the ambitions of Manchester United's management.

Even if this ambition is not proportional to the club's investment.

Let’s talk about the third question. That’s not a cliche, but empty talk.

Although Xia Xing stayed at Manchester United for a short time before, he did not have too in-depth training with the first team.

It is understandable that the training conditions of the reserve team are poor.

But after returning from Leicester City, he found that the training conditions of Manchester United's first team were not much better.

Not even as good as Leicester City.

At least Leicester City Club has cooperated with the University of Leicester to build many high-tech training facilities, as well as various massage equipment and rehabilitation treatment equipment, which are all very good.

Xia Xing Company has some business cooperation with many clubs, and he has also visited many wealthy clubs.

As a superstar, the wealthy club is naturally willing to show the best part of the team to Xia Xing.

After all, football is round and anything can happen. It is guaranteed that Xia Xing will be able to play for his own team one day, perhaps because of an attraction and good impression.

Xia Xing visited Real Madrid's training base and he was simply amazed.

Real Madrid's various training rooms are simply amazing. They even guarantee each player one-on-one training and rehab, which is great.

Speaking of rehabilitation treatment, AC Milan’s medical laboratory is even more respectable. There is even the best medical team in international football there, and the test reports and rehabilitation suggestions they issue are absolutely ceiling-level.

When it comes to high technology, we have to talk about Bayern's tactical training room. They really have a system similar to the FIFA game, which analyzes competitor videos in great detail to help players interpret the habits and characteristics of each opponent, which is of great help.

When it comes to youth training, Barcelona is at the top level in the world. La Masia Youth Academy is indeed a football festival for countless teenagers. There, in addition to the cultivation of football skills and knowledge, there is also a lot of educational improvement content such as psychological education and personality improvement. The teenagers benefited a lot from the professional room layout, equipment use and coaching staff. As long as you stay in La Masia, you will definitely gain a lot.

But Manchester United's training base is in tatters and is not at the level that a wealthy club should have.

After listening to the club's sports manager's explanation, Xia Xing said nothing more.

Regarding the topic of contract renewal, we will not discuss it for the time being.

Renew? Let's see again... (End of this chapter)
