Football King Bale
Chapter 109: Ferguson's courage
On July 1, 2010, when the quarter-finals of the South Africa World Cup were approaching, one thing was to temporarily draw people's attention to England.
Premier League overlord Manchester United Club announced a transfer message on its official website: the club has signed the Welsh young international Gareth Bell!
Although the Manchester United official did not announce how much money it took to sign Bell, the superb English media of the magic quickly exposed it: the transfer fee is 60 million pounds, and Bell will also receive a contract of 150,000 pounds per week. , The signing time is five years.
This news is like a bombshell, which shocked the world football in an instant.
Although this year is the World Cup year, under normal circumstances, there will certainly be a lot of super weight transfers, but this year is not the general situation.
Because international football has born too many super-heavy transfers last summer, it consumes a lot of buying potential, plus the economic crisis has not yet left Europe. Under the economic crisis, the purchasing power of all of Europe has dropped a lot, which is bound to further affect the purchasing willingness and payment ability of the major clubs.
Therefore, anyone who really understands the market has a hunch that the European transfer market this summer will never be as crazy as last summer.
Even if there are some heavy transfers, it will be ten days later, after the dust of the World Cup in South Africa has settled.
However, no one expected that at the first time this summer transfer window opened, Manchester United threw such a bombshell!
Such a transfer, even if it was placed last summer, would be a major event that shocked world football.
60 million pounds, which is already the highest price for the Premier League team to transfer players. Even if it is put in the world football, this is the transfer price that can be ranked in the top three in history. Last year, Ronaldo's transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid's £80 million and Zidane's transfer from Juventus to Real Madrid's £64 million were higher than this price.
And Bell’s weekly salary of £150,000 is definitely the top salary of the Premier League.
It is difficult for people to believe that this will be done by Manchester United. It is important to know that the real masters of this club are the ferocious Ferguson and David Gil!
People can only speculate that the four majors of this season have given Manchester United too much excitement, making them make such a crazy decision.
This will also be a gamble!
It's just that Ferguson and David Gill put their bets on a young player like Bell, who is only a few days before he turns 21, is that really okay?
………………
In fact, the two decision makers of this incident were also a little upset at this time.
Manchester, Ferguson's home, David Gill came to visit.
"Alex, have you read all the media reports?" David Gil asked.
Ferguson nodded and said, "I have watched...David, did you say that my decision was really correct?"
For a moment, David Gill didn’t expect him to say anything. Ferguson spoke first. He smiled bitterly: “Alex, your current performance makes it difficult for me to believe that this decision was made three days ago. People are you!"
Ferguson smiled bitterly.
David Gil also smiled bitterly and asked, "Alex, what did the kid say to you alone that day? Did you get the fascinating soup by him?"
Ferguson heard the words and couldn't help thinking of what happened in London three days ago.
Before the time reached the deadline given by Bell, Ferguson still failed to make a final decision. So, he went to London and personally met Bell in a coffee shop in London.
Although such private contact with players of other teams is not allowed, such things have not happened infrequently.
Ferguson's original intention was to personally do Bell's ideological work, hoping that he could help Manchester United persuade Tottenham to reduce conditions, just like Berbatov two years ago.
But Bell is not Berbatov, although the first two letters of their surname are the same. Bell made it clear that he will not threaten the team that has graciousness for him by means of strikes, nor will he fly to Manchester before transferring. If the treatment given by Manchester United is too different from other teams, he can only choose to go to other teams.
Such an attitude annoyed Ferguson.
Just as he was about to get up and leave, Bell's few words made him change his decision.
Back to Manchester, Ferguson immediately found the team CEO David Gil, asking him to offer Tottenham to match the price of 60 million pounds from Manchester City, while increasing Bell's personal treatment to 150,000 pounds.
For Ferguson's decision, although David Gil had some opinions, he still didn't mean to disobey Ferguson.
Finally, on July 1st, the first time the summer transfer window opened, Manchester United officially offered Tottenham an offer of 60 million pounds.
Then, the transfer was completed quickly. Because Manchester City did not raise the offer again, 60 million pounds has also reached their psychological bottom line.
Although the rich Arabs are not bad money, their money is not blown by the wind. They can’t make unrestricted shopping with Manchester United for Bell to benefit Tottenham fishermen.
As for Real Madrid, they have already withdrawn from the competition before. They raised the transfer offer to 55 million pounds in Manchester City, which is about 65 million euros, and they will not continue to increase the offer.
In Florentino's view, despite Bell's superb performance this season, he only played a good season and did not prove himself in the Champions League. Therefore, his value must not exceed the former golden ball. Mr. Kaka.
The price of Kaka's transfer to Real Madrid last summer was only 65 million euros.
Now, regarding Ferguson’s doubts, Ferguson did not inform him of the specific conversation with Bell as it did three days ago, because it was too shocking. Believe that when David Gill listened, he would definitely say, "The two of you are really crazy!"
So, he could only say: "David, that kid really touched me with some words, but it's not a fascinating soup. And now that the transfer has been completed, we can't break the contract, just like that."
David Gill nodded, as Ferguson said, the transfer has been completed, with Manchester United's position in world football, they can no longer regret it.
But he said: "Alex, this can only be done first, but we have another trouble."
Ferguson looked at David Gil and didn't speak.
David Gil smiled bitterly: "Paul called, and Wien would not sign the contract extension unless the team raised his personal treatment to £160,000."
Ferguson knew that Paul in David Gill’s mouth was not Scholes, but Paul Streyford, Rooney’s agent.
He jumped up suddenly and shouted, "This is impossible!"
David Gill signaled Ferguson not to be excited, he said: "I told Paul the same way, but he said that this is what Wien meant."
Ferguson was silent for a while, and said, "You talk to Wien again, and I will find an opportunity to communicate with him."
David Gill nodded and said, "Okay, I will talk to him again when Wien returns. But I think it is very unlikely that he wants to step back."
England have lost 1 to 4 in the quarterfinals five days ago to their rival Germany, and the team has returned to England. But Rooney has not returned to Manchester.
Ferguson pondered for a while and said, "If he really does not retreat at all, then we have to agree to his transfer."
David Jill hesitated and asked, "Alex, are you serious?"
Ferguson nodded.
David Gill asked again: "Just because of that boy?"
"Yes!" Ferguson said without hesitation. "David, I know you are hard to believe, but on him, I saw a shadow similar to Chris (Cristiano Ronaldo), and even some of his qualities. Far more than Chris."
Now, regarding Ferguson’s doubts, Ferguson did not inform him of the specific conversation with Bell as it did three days ago, because it was too shocking. Believe that when David Gill listened, he would definitely say, "The two of you are really crazy!"
So, he could only say: "David, that kid really touched me with some words, but it's not a fascinating soup. And now that the transfer has been completed, we can't break the contract, just like that."
