Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

The price is very good. Real Betis will not agree to it, but it will raise their psychological expectations.

Sure enough, the other side hesitated for a while: "Mr. Bernstein, we understand your sincerity, but Joaquin is also very important to us. Let's do this, we are willing to reduce the price to 18 million pounds, which is our bottom line."

Bernstein smiled in his heart and pretended to be silent and said: "18 million pounds? I need to discuss it with the boss."

The other party did not rush to urge, but said: "Look forward to your reply."

After all, they have two quotations in their hands, and it is not their turn to be anxious.

Bernstein hung up the phone contentedly, turned to Yang Luo and smiled: "Done."

Yes, as long as they don't respond to the offer, Manchester United will have to pay a higher price if they want to rush to get Joaquin.

The two mean guys looked at each other and thought that they were really bad.

If the red-nosed old man knew that they were behind all kinds of bad things, he might have directly entered Manchester City Club.

When these two guys were full of bad water, Manchester City ushered in the first game of the FA Cup this season.

They played with a rotating lineup and beat Leicester City 2-0 at home, successfully advancing to the next round.

It is worth mentioning that Fabregas, who came on as a substitute in this game, scored a goal in the 85th minute of the game, which was also his first goal in Manchester City.

The 16-year-old has shown some ability, and he will definitely win more playing time in the next season.

After the game, the deal between Real Betis and Manchester United also collapsed.

This also surprised Bernstein and Yang Luo.

It stands to reason that there are not many young talented wingers on the market. According to Ferguson's eagerness to recruit talents, he should not be entangled in the three or two million pounds!

So he couldn't help but be curious and asked Bernstein to call Real Betis.

As a result, the answer they got made them laugh and cry.

This Spaniard is actually a little homesick!

He doesn't want to leave Spain and go to the cold England!

Real Betis itself does not have such a strong desire to sell Joaquin, so it took advantage of this opportunity to keep its own treasure.

Yang Luo then remembered an old news.

Mourinho of the first period of Che was very interested in Joaquin. He once wanted to sign Joaquin to his team.

But Joaquin finally chose to stay in Real Betis.

It seems that it should be because of homesickness.

I don't know whether Joaquin's refusal this time is right or wrong. He has easily wasted his first opportunity to step into a wealthy family.

Yang Luo and Bernstein looked at each other and thought that people should not do bad things. They worked so hard for a long time but got nothing.

After Manchester United failed to buy Joaquin, they quickly turned their attention to another talented winger, Quaresma.

This king of the outside instep, who is known as the twin stars of Sporting CP together with Cristiano Ronaldo, is having a hard time in Barcelona now.

After transferring to Barcelona last summer, his performance on the field was really terrible.

He played more than a dozen games for the team and scored only one goal, which made the fans and the team very dissatisfied with him.

And he himself was very unhappy in Barcelona.

At this time, Manchester United made an offer in time.

Four million pounds can't buy losses or be deceived. Since this offer is the same as the price Barcelona bought him, Barcelona is also happy to sell him.

Soon, the two clubs reached an agreement.

When hearing the news, Bernstein felt a little regretful: "It's a pity that I didn't raise my hand, and Manchester United got the bargain for nothing."

Yang Luo looked strange: "Quaresma... Let's not raise it, it will be troublesome if it hits our hands."

This brother's experience in the giants can't be said to be mediocre, at least it is terrible.

The key is that after he was retrained, he still couldn't escape the fate of being a fake.

I don't know if the old Sir Alex can save him.

And Manchester United's pace of buying people has not stopped. After taking Quaresma, he set his sights on the central defender.

This time his target is Roberto Ayala!

Since Manchester United is only one point behind Arsenal in the standings, Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to take a gamble in the second half of the league, maybe the bicycle will become a motorcycle.

So he took the Argentine who is about to turn 30 years old for 12 million pounds.

Central defender.

These two deals have greatly strengthened Manchester United's shortcomings, which makes many experts believe that Manchester United is Arsenal's main competitor in the second half of the season.

Yang Luo did not raise the price for this deal.

After all, Yang Luo is not interested in a 30-year-old short central defender.

This is the most important principle for him to raise the price. He cannot raise the price for players who are easy to lose.

Just after Manchester United quickly won these two players, the Premier League ushered in the 20th round of competition.

Manchester City played against Charlton at home.

Now the gap in strength between the two teams is already obvious, so Manchester City did not spend much effort to beat the opponent 2-0.

In this game, Manchester City showed a crushing trend both in terms of the scene and opportunities, and 2-0 cannot fully reflect the gap on the scene.

In the two games that kicked off almost at the same time, Manchester United and Arsenal were in a world of sorrow and joy.

Arsenal lost the ball in the last minute of the away game and was tied by Everton 1-1.

Manchester United defeated Bolton 2-1 away and successfully overtook the top of the standings!

The entire English football world became lively.

I thought Manchester United's performance would be greatly affected after Beckham left, but I didn't expect them to catch up with Arsenal in the first half of the season and overtook Arsenal in the first game of the second half!

David Jones, a loyal fan of Manchester United, wrote directly in the Guardian: "This year's Manchester United was supposed to be a year of rest, but I didn't expect the opponents to be so weak. There is no way. Manchester United will be stronger after the new players arrive. If you don't seize the opportunity, I'm afraid you will never have another chance!"

Lineker also wrote in his column: "The Christmas schedule is very difficult. Many teams can't hold on at this stage, which will make their efforts throughout the season go to waste. Although Arsenal has not lost so far, it has now fallen behind in the competition with Manchester United. Ferdinand's suspension would have a great impact on Manchester United, but their timely signings have made up for this hidden danger. Manchester United still has a very good chance of achieving their second consecutive championship!"

Even some betting websites have adjusted Manchester United's odds of winning the championship to the first place.

Bernstein sighed: "Mr. Ferguson is still amazing!"

Yang Luo smiled: "Don't worry, the season is still long!"
