Chapter 639: The summer transfer storm caused by Ronaldo

Arriving in Manchester, Miss Heisler was very happy to see Bruno. The girl was very smart. If she quarreled with Bruno over this, it would be difficult for them to have any other result except breaking up. On the contrary, if she pretended that nothing happened, based on her understanding of Bruno and the emotional foundation of the two over the years, Bruno would not choose to break up with her.

The most important thing is that she is always with Bruno, which is the biggest advantage.

Bruno's life back in Manchester is no different from usual, except that there are more reporters. That's because he not only helped Manchester United win the Champions League last season, but also won the World Cup with Portugal in the summer. It's natural that he has more media attention.

Bruno has just returned to Manchester. Manchester United, who completed summer training and warm-up matches in the United States, also returned to Manchester to prepare for the upcoming Community Shield.

According to the schedule, the opening game of the new season will be held on the evening of August 8, with defending champions Manchester United facing Leicester City.

The Community Shield, which is a warm-up match for the new season, will be held on the evening of August 8. Since Manchester United won the Premier League and FA Cup last season, this Community Shield will be between Manchester United and the league runner-up Manchester City.

Bruno noticed that there were more and more media gathering outside the training ground, and there were many unfamiliar faces, many of whom were from Asia.

He thought it was the follow-up effect of winning the club's quadruple championship and the World Cup, but when the training was over, he was surrounded by the media and found that the situation was not what he imagined.

………………

"Excuse me...Bruno, recently the media reported that you were shopping intimately with Chinese American movie star Liu Yimei on the streets of Beijing, and there were further intimate actions. Is this true?"

"Do you know Liu Yimei?"

"There are reports that you are Liu Yimei's boyfriend. Is this true?"

"Excuse me, how did you and Liu Yimei know each other, Bruno?"

……

These entertainment reporters, who were even crazier than sports reporters, shocked everyone present, including Bruno.

He had never expected these people to appear in front of him, but he understood all the questions. He was puzzled as to how the media could know this? Was Liu Yimei and I secretly photographed on our date?

If this is the case...then how should I answer?

At this time, it was impossible for him to take out his cell phone and call Liu Yimei to ask her what was going on.

As these unruly entertainment media became louder and louder, more and more people were attracted to the scene. Many teammates also came to watch the fun.

Bruno didn't want to be treated like a monkey, so he thought of a perfect excuse: "Sorry, I only answer questions related to football, and no other questions!"

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and squeezed out.

How could those reporters let him leave so easily? They surrounded him and moved forward with him, while constantly handing him microphones, recorders and mobile phones, asking Bruno and Liu Yimei whether they were a couple.

Bruno was unwilling to talk about it. This was a fatal topic. After all, he was engaged to Vanessa. If other emotional topics were exposed, his life would be very difficult.

………………

But it is not easy to get rid of this group of annoying reporters. But it doesn’t matter, Bruno has his own way, which is one word: run!

He didn't run very fast. He just ran forward in the crowd and ran around the entire Carrington training base, competing with the group of reporters for endurance and seeing if those reporters carrying cameras could keep up with him.

So outside the Carrington training base, everyone saw such a surprising scene: a large group of people were making a lot of noise and surrounding Bruno to run laps.

Bruno only ran around the Carrington training base once, and the reporters couldn't keep up. After all, they couldn't compete with professional football players in endurance. You have to know that Bruno's average running distance per game is 13,000 meters, which is far ahead of all the players in the Premier League and even the top five leagues.

When the crowd gradually couldn't keep up and the encirclement began to loosen, Bruno suddenly accelerated and rushed out, running all the way back to the locker room. The reporters could only look at his back, gasping for breath, unable to say a word.

Although none of the questions they asked were answered, they had already discovered one thing: the male and female protagonists in this scandal were not easy to deal with!

………………

Bruno sent a text message to Liu Yimei to ask what was going on. Only when Liu Yimei called him did he understand what had happened.

It turned out that he and Liu Yimei had gotten too carried away on the streets of Beijing. Logically speaking, there were too many lovers like them in the whole city, and kissing on the street was a very normal thing. But who made them run into a photographer who knew Liu Yimei?

Bruno did not blame Liu Yimei for announcing their relationship without his permission, because the other party had no idea about his relationship status, let alone that he was engaged to another woman.

It was entirely his own fault that things had gotten to this point. After all, if he had been able to control his lower body, or if he had informed Liu Yimei of his emotional state at the first opportunity, then everything that followed would not have happened.

Bruno was very troubled. He never expected that two accidental encounters in the East would make Liu Yimei fall in love with him.

If such a thing happened in his previous life, he would definitely wake up laughing in his dreams, but the reality is that he is already a married man.

I have become the scumbag that he once hated so much...

Bruno didn't know how to deal with these things, so he chose to be an ostrich.

Let’s just wait and see!

………………

Just when Bruno was suffering, Manchester United ushered in the first game of the new season, facing the city rivals Manchester City in the Community Shield.

It's very familiar to both teams. After all, neither team has changed much this summer. Manchester United did not make a lot of signings this summer, and so did Manchester City. After the past two summer transfers, Guardiola's plan for Manchester City has taken shape.

In fact, Manchester City's performance last season was still very good. They scored 97 points in the Premier League, which is enough to win the championship in any other season. In the Champions League, Manchester City also reached the semi-finals, which is also a very good performance.

If Manchester United hadn't been so abnormal last season, Manchester City might even have had a chance to win the double.

Therefore, Manchester City's top management still has relatively high confidence in Guardiola's coaching ability. Even though they have failed to win any of the four major titles for two consecutive seasons, they still choose to trust Guardiola and continue to give him opportunities to prove himself.

However, Manchester City did not continue to spend money like crazy in the transfer window like they did in the previous two summer transfer windows. Their only big-money signing was the introduction of French midfielder Paul Pogba from Juventus.

In fact, this transfer can be regarded as a chain reaction.

This summer, the most sensational thing in world football was that the new king of football, Cristiano Ronaldo, left Real Madrid, where he had played for 9 years, and joined the Serie A giants Juventus.

………………

After playing for the Bernabeu for 9 years, the conflict between Ronaldo and Florentino has become irreconcilable. In addition, he is already 33 years old, so Real Madrid has not agreed to Ronaldo's request for a salary increase and contract renewal. Even though he led Portugal to win the World Cup this summer and became the third widely recognized king of world football, Florentino still decided to get rid of Ronaldo.

C Ronaldo originally wanted to return to Manchester United, but the two sides failed to reach an agreement in the end. The main reason was that C Ronaldo could not accept that he was no longer the top star of Manchester United, and Manchester United was also unable to deprive Bruno of his status as captain and top star.

In fact, the reason why Bruno quietly rushed to the East and was almost isolated from the world for that week was to avoid Ronaldo.

He doesn't want to be blamed for preventing Ronaldo from returning to Manchester United.

What he didn't expect was that this trip to the East, although avoiding the topic of Ronaldo returning to Manchester United, led to him rekindling his old relationship with Liu Yimei, and embarking on the path of a scumbag.

Given Juventus' financial situation, it is naturally difficult to afford the expenses of having two superstars in the team. In addition, after playing for Juventus for five years, Pogba decided to leave to seek greater challenges, so he joined Manchester City.

Obviously, Pogba made this choice with the purpose of competing with Bruno again.

The transfers of C Ronaldo and Pogba are also the only two super transfers exceeding 1.2 million euros this summer. Juventus first spent 1.1 million euros to sign the new king of football, and then turned around and sold Pogba to Manchester City for million euros.

As a result, Ronaldo became the player with the highest transfer fee over 30 years old in the history of world football transfers.

However, considering his status as the new king of football, this transfer is not too surprising.

Apart from signing Pogba at a high price, Manchester City has done little in the transfer market, only bringing in a few young talents. However, in terms of cleaning up the team's redundant players, the Blue Moon has made a lot of moves, including the sale of several players including the meritorious goalkeeper Joe Hart.

However, Pogba did not get a chance to play in this Community Shield, but spent 90 minutes in the stands of the new Wembley Stadium. After all, he officially joined Manchester City the day before the game.

Bruno started the game as captain and played the whole game, contributing 1 shot and 1 assist, with an outstanding performance.

In the end, after a fierce offensive battle, Manchester United narrowly defeated Manchester City 3:2 and got off to a good start in the new season.

This is also the fifth championship trophy won by Manchester United in 2018, and they are making great strides towards winning seven titles in the year.
