Chapter 824 I only have one request, Xia must stay!

The summer transfer period was originally full of farewell, but it was completely ignited by Cristiano Ronaldo's journey home. Moved and passionate.

When Ronaldo appeared in the center of Old Trafford wearing a Manchester United jersey, fans around the world were filled with excitement.

The return of the teenager at Old Trafford, what a touching topic this is!
However, this transfer has been full of twists and turns, and it is not easy to finally take shape.

Due to Juventus' financial and competitive situation, Ronaldo decided to leave the team.

At that time, it was not Manchester United that was most interested in him, but Manchester City.

Manchester City, which just sent away Aguero, is in urgent need of an experienced world-class center.

Not only must they be super strong and have championship experience, but they must also have excellent physical fitness and be able to adapt to the confrontation and rhythm of the Premier League. They must also have enough reputation to help the team increase its popularity.

After all this calculation, the 36-year-old Ronaldo is very suitable for them.

Regardless of human concerns, Manchester City must also poach Ronaldo.

Even at the press conference, Guardiola publicly expressed his welcome to Ronaldo.

"What head coach wouldn't want to have such a world-class striker?"

This is interesting.

It would be awesome if the former Manchester United hero donned the blue shirt of Manchester City...

Cristiano Ronaldo's agent Mendes is now living in Manchester.

Although Ronaldo was once a Manchester United player, Mendes is also open to Ronaldo joining Manchester City.

As long as the goals are the same, joining Manchester City is not out of the question.

This instantly angered an old man.

Sir Alex Ferguson!
One night, Sir Alex Ferguson called Ronaldo for a full hour.

The specific content is unknown to others.

All I know is that the next day, Mendes appeared in the high-level meeting room of Manchester United.

Regarding Ronaldo's transfer, a consensus was quickly reached.

Cristiano Ronaldo moves to Manchester United for 1700 million euros!
The kids at Old Trafford are coming home!
While everyone was excited and cheering, some people inside Manchester United were worried.

And there's more than one.

The first is some people in management.

Many people are very excited about Ronaldo's return.

No matter from the competitive level or the business level, it is a win-win result.

1700 million euros to buy one with immediate combat capability, no problem.

But for the reformists, they were very dissatisfied with this transfer.

The 36-year-old Ronaldo is just a temporary visitor to Manchester United. Even if his form is still there, he cannot maintain it for too long.

Aspiring to achieve innovation, they hope to buy some young players and iterate quickly.

Those who have this idea include even head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Overall this summer, he was in a good mood.

The club spent a high price of 8500 million euros to buy Sancho, one of the best talented attackers in the world.

The leader of Dortmund's Three Musketeers was finally recruited by Manchester United.

To be honest, this price is not high, considering the overall premium in today's international football.

Grealish next door can be sold for 100 million, and Dortmund's star Sancho is also worth this price.

As long as he can perform as he did in the Bundesliga, he will definitely be worth it.

The second transfer is the joining of Real Madrid defense general Varane.

For 4000 million euros, he bought a top central defender who is a World Cup champion and a Champions League champion, and he is still at the golden age of 28, which is quite a value.

These two transfer transactions are enough to excite Solskjaer.

But he didn't expect that Ronaldo, who had been rumored to come back, would actually come back.

And for him, he doesn't even have any right to participate, let alone decision-making power.

Ronaldo's transfer was finalized by the team's top management. Before Ronaldo was about to join Manchester United, Solskjaer made a special trip to Xia Xing's home to talk to him about the matter.

Naturally, Xia Xing knew his purpose, and the two of them spoke openly and honestly.

"Coach, you are worried about Ronaldo's transfer, right?"

"It's true, I'm a little anxious."

"Do you think Ronaldo's return may bring negative things to the team?"

"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty."

"So direct."

"But there are definitely positive things, that's for sure."

"That's true, as is the case with anyone's transfer. There are pros and cons. So, what do you think of Ronaldo's future after joining the team?"

Solskjaer looked at Xia Xing in front of him, and he talked about his views without reservation.

"First of all, I must declare that I like Cristiano Ronaldo very much, especially him.
"I was even a fan of his for a while,

"He was the best in the world for me.

"But now he is 36 years old,

"It's no longer the 'Phnom Penh Luo' it used to be.

“Manchester United’s biggest task now, apart from winning games and championships, is to complete the renewal as soon as possible.

"Rooney is gone, Ibrahimovic is gone,

"Ashley Young is gone, Valencia is gone,
"Romero is gone, Fellaini is gone...

"Many of the players who created the miracle of six crowns in 2018 are no longer with Manchester United.

"Since I took over the team, the director has tried to recruit young players.
“I just hope the team can complete the iteration quickly.

"Now that Ronaldo is here, the overall rhythm of the team may be affected.

“Slowing down the iteration, that’s definitely the biggest trouble.

"What do you think?"

Looking at Solskjaer in front of him, Xia Xing picked up the water glass, took a sip of Longjing, and spoke slowly.

"You are right. Ronaldo is 36 years old, and his speed and impact are definitely not as good as before.

"After he joins the team, he will definitely not be able to rotate. After all, he is a super giant.
“And we must properly build a new team with him as the core of our offensive tactics.

“In this way, the team will definitely encounter big changes.

“But I think Ronaldo’s return to Manchester United will definitely do more good than harm.

"You know, he is a very rare top star in this era.
"The only super giant, the super giant that money can't buy,

“Having him in the team has a great role model for young people.
"This will definitely be of great benefit to Manchester United, which is currently young.

"And he has countless championship experiences, which are currently scarce among young people at Manchester United.

“Even I am far inferior to Ronaldo in terms of experience and honors, I know that very well.

"So the joining of Cristiano Ronaldo will definitely bring great benefits to Manchester United.

"And I will definitely cooperate fully to help Ronaldo quickly integrate into the new team.

"Also do your duty as a captain,
"We will work well together,
"Please rest assured about this."

Looking at Xia Xing with a serious expression, Solskjaer let out a breath.

He was relieved.

"Xia, I want to tell you something, you may not know,
“The management took back Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester City’s mouth,
“It took a lot of effort and a lot of dedication.

“In particular, it meets Ronaldo’s requirements for image rights and playing time.

"Besides that, we also met one of Ronaldo's conditions.

“Cristiano Ronaldo’s original words——

"'On a competitive level, I have only one request: Xiao must stay!'" (End of Chapter)
