Chapter 392 Manchester United is Ling Feng’s Manchester United!
As the transfer window deadline approaches, the major players have stepped up their efforts, hoping to bring new players to the team at the last moment who can help the team.
While participating in the national team mission, Ling Feng did not forget to pay attention to the changing transfer market.
As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle!
In Ling Feng’s view, Manchester United’s biggest competitors in the Premier League this season are only three:
Chelsea, Manchester City, and Tottenham!
As for Liverpool, which is still in the process of rebuilding, and Arsenal, which is prone to falling behind, Ling Feng doesn't take it seriously at all.
First up is Chelsea.
Although he did not steal Manchester United, he missed the "Premier League steals king" Kante.
However, Chelsea also gave new coach Conte great support in this summer window and purchased several strong players in accordance with his requirements.
Belgian forward Batshuayi, Fiorentina left back Marcos Alonso
And the day before the transfer window closed, they welcomed back the Brazilian center back David "Puffy Head" who played for the team in the past. Louis!
It is worth mentioning that Chelsea has an advantage over other championship opponents this season in that it has no European war mission!
In this way, the Blues can focus all their attention on the league.
Therefore, even without Kante, this Chelsea team is still a strong contender for the league championship!
As for Manchester City, like Chelsea, they are all backed by big investors.
This is Guardiola's first season in England.
In order to support the world's top coach, the oil consortium behind Manchester City also spent a lot of money, bringing him the "New Terry" Stones, who set a record for defender transfers, and Schalke star Sane. , Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Gundogan, Barcelona goalkeeper Bravo, Spanish winger Nolito, Colombian international Maros Moreno and other players.
In addition to the players who have gone through the running-in period in the team, With Trin, De Bruyne, Aguero, Yaya Toure, David Silva and others, the lineup is still star-studded.
Guardiola can confidently and boldly build the Blue Moon Fleet in his heart!
As for Tottenham, there was an eye-catching youth storm last season!
The frontcourt DESK combination composed of four young talents, Kane, Son Heung-min, Alli, and Eriksen, and the Belgian central defender partner as the backbone, performed well on both ends of the offense and defense.
In the summer window, Tottenham won Wanyama and Sissoko one after another, which greatly strengthened the midfielder's hardness.
This season, the White Hart Lane youth team with a more complete and mature lineup will inevitably move forward and strive to add a championship trophy to the empty honor room.
Of course, in addition to the Premier League In addition to the potential title rivals on the field, Ling Feng also paid special attention to Barcelona, which they will encounter in the Champions League group stage.
Compared to Real Madrid, which only repurchased Morata, Barcelona has been attacking frequently this summer.
After purging many veterans and youth team demons, they won six new players in one go!
Spending 65 million euros, the twin stars Andre Gomez and Paco Alcacer Paco Alcacer were packaged from the "Bat Army" Valencia;< br>
Then he spent 25 million euros to buy Lyon central defender Umtiti to fill the vacancy of the central defender;
Then he successively acquired French left back Digne, Dutch national goalkeeper Cillessen and Repurchase young potential player Denis Suarez.
Six new players cost a total of 130 million euros!
Six major new players, plus the original MSN combination, Iniesta, Rakitic, Busquets, Pique, Alba and other superstars in the team's lineup, Barcelona's lineup , which is full of expectations.
Although they won La Liga and the Copa del Rey last season, the team failed to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Watching Real Madrid win the Big Ears Cup, I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.
This season, their goal is naturally to defend the league title and once again challenge for the Champions League title!
This is also the third season of MSN,
However, only Ling Feng knew.
After next year, Neymar, who is unwilling to continue to be the crown prince of Barcelona, will leave the Nou Camp.
By then, the MSN group, which has gone down in history, will be officially disbanded.
So, if you want to go head-to-head with this historic frontcourt trident, this season will be the best and last chance!
Of course, the appearance of this big butterfly has changed the original career trajectory of many players:
For example, Kante moved to Manchester United, but Pogba did not leave Juventus
So, if he attacks Barcelona in the Champions League this season, maybe Neymar will feel that he still has shortcomings and continue to stay. Barcelona.
However, in Ling Feng's view, this possibility is slim.
After all, at Messi's current age, he can maintain his peak form for at least five or six years.
Moreover, as long as he is in Barcelona, he will be the number one and soul of Barcelona!
No matter how good Neymar performs and leads the team to win many championships, the Barcelona player who finally wins the Ballon d'Or will only be Messi!
With Neymar's current mood, he certainly cannot bear this.
It is even more impossible to wait for Messi's condition to decline before ascending to Barcelona's throne.
Not only himself, but also the 200 million Brazilian fans behind him, all hope that Neymar will become the second Pele, not Messi's deputy.
So, his departure is inevitable!
This also made Ling Feng think of Real Madrid, which had extended an olive branch to him several times.
Fortunately, he has a clear understanding of his career plan and is not tempted by Real Madrid's name.
Once he moves to Real Madrid, his situation will be basically the same as Neymar's.
No matter how good your performance is, you can only become the second in command of the team and become the background for Ronaldo to win the Ballon d'Or!
This is also the reason why Ling Fengfeng firmly chose Manchester United!
Real Madrid is Ronaldo’s Real Madrid, and Barcelona is Messi’s Barcelona.
And Manchester United is Ling Feng’s Manchester United!
. . .
After the short national team match day, Ling Feng did not return to Manchester immediately, but came to London with his agent Mendes.
Because, he is about to renew a new sponsorship contract with Nike!
After spending a miraculous season, coupled with France's impressive and phenomenal performance in the European Cup, Lingfeng's reputation and influence in world football have been greatly improved.
Many people can see that Ling Feng’s rise is unstoppable.
Excellent skills, handsome appearance, excellent moral character.
A superstar is rising!
What follows is the olive branch offered by major brands.
In addition to various brand endorsements with rising prices, a "battle for the top" has once again started among sports brand giants
Two years ago, Nike participated in the "battle for the top" with brands such as Adidas and Puma. Won the "Battle for the Peak Season 1" and signed a three-year contract with Ling Feng with an annual salary of 1.2 million pounds. At that time, Nike didn't have much sense.
Although I feel that Ling Feng has great potential and is very likely to become a superstar.
However, even Nike’s analysis team would not have thought that Ling Feng’s growth rate would be so terrifying!
Two years have passed, and the former best in the English Championship and the best newcomer in the World Cup has become the best in the Premier League and the first in the new generation!
Even broke the transfer fee record of Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale, transferred to the Red Devils and Manchester United, and became the most expensive player in football!
As a new-generation superstar with social media fans in football, second only to Melo, Neymar and others, his commercial value has naturally increased.
Lingfeng’s huge influence among young people has also doubled Nike’s related sales in the UK.
With one year left in Ling Feng’s contract with Nike, Nike naturally began to hold meetings internally to discuss what kind of treatment should be given to retain the Red Devils No. 7!
However, while they were still having a meeting to discuss, their opponent struck first!
As the jersey sponsor of Manchester United, Adidas has long wanted to acquire Ling Feng, the most popular young player in football today.
It would be even better to snatch Lingfeng away from rival Nike!
Ever since, during the European Cup, Adidas began to contact Mendes.
At the same time, Puma, who were in urgent need of a star, also took a fancy to Ling Feng and joined him.
Nike, who realized later, exclaimed, "Made, my house was almost stolen" and immediately contacted Mendes.
The second season of Battle for the Peak has just begun!
Although there is still one year of contract with Ling Feng.
However, the liquidated damages are only a mere five million pounds!
In other words, whether it is Adidas or Puma, if they spend this money, they can buy out Lingfeng's contract and then sign a new contract with him!
Nike, who was afraid that Ling Feng would be snatched away by other competitors, immediately took action.
After receiving the quotations from various companies, Ling Feng sat firmly on Diaoyutai and compared the three companies.
Today, Ling Feng is more at ease than two years ago.
Because, it was not Nike, Adidas and Puma who chose him, but he chose among these three world's top sports brands!
After more than a month of negotiations, Nike defeated Adidas and Puma for the second time and successfully reached a new contract agreement with Lingfeng.
First of all, the annual sponsorship cost has increased from 1.2 million pounds per year to 12 million pounds per year!
Surge tenfold!
The contract lasts for ten years, which means that in the next ten years, Ling Feng can receive sponsorship remuneration of 120 million pounds!
Such an amazing contract also allows him to surpass Neymar, who earns 11 million pounds per year, and become the football player with the highest sports brand sponsorship after Melo!
The signing fee is 10 million pounds!
In addition to real money sponsorship fees, Nike also promised to make a special sneaker for Ling Feng every year, and two years later, created his own brand specifically for Ling Feng.
Moreover, there is a special "Golden Globe Award" incentive clause in the contract.
As long as Ling Feng wins the Ballon d'Or, Nike will award 10 million pounds!
Such a high salary naturally comes with corresponding obligations.
Ling Feng participates in Nike events and advertising shoots every year, and needs to wear Nike products in various occasions such as post-game press conferences, media interviews, PFA awards ceremonies, and Golden Globe awards ceremonies. clothing.
Of course, these are minutiae.
Judging from the treatment given by Nike, it can be said that Nike is full of sincerity.
Ever since, on the afternoon of September 6th, Ling Feng arrived at Nike’s UK headquarters in London, personally accompanied by Trevor Edwards, global president of the Nike brand.
At the signing ceremony, Nike also invited more than 30 media and conducted a live broadcast around the world.
“In our opinion, Ling Feng was a super genius in football back then, and another superstar destined to be recorded in the history of football in the future!”
"So, we are very happy to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with him!"
After a short media Q&A session, Ling Feng was witnessed by multiple cameras at the scene and thousands of viewers of the global live broadcast. Go ahead and sign your name on the contract!
Just a few minutes later, a text message was sent to Ling Feng’s mobile phone:
XX bank account arrived, 10 million pounds
Ling Feng stayed in London for a long time for one day.
During this period, in addition to Nike-related promotional activities, he also participated in commercial activities and promotional shoots for other brands.
The next morning, he rushed back to Manchester and back to Carrington.
The first lesson after returning from the national team is not recovery training or tactical training, but watching game analysis videos.
Because three days later, Manchester United is about to usher in the fourth round of the Premier League.
The opponent is Manchester City led by Guardiola!
In the tactical room, the Manchester United generals were sitting in their seats, waiting patiently.
After a while, Mourinho, wearing a black training uniform, quickly walked into the tactics room.
The next second, the deep voice of “Madman” with a Portuguese accent sounded:
“Our goal is very clear, that is to win four consecutive victories!”< br>
“What stands in front of us is our neighbor whose strength cannot be underestimated and has also won three consecutive league victories!”
"Guys, this will be a local derby!"
After a pause, Mourinho raised three fingers and continued:
"In my coaching career, I have participated in I have played no less than thirty derbies, including London Derby, Milan Derby, and Spanish Derby.” In the game, it is easiest to get your head heated. However, as part of the game, you must calmly deal with the pressure and respond to the changes on the field. Only by keeping your brain clear can you make the most correct decisions."
"At the same time, I need you to be tough and fierce on the court!"
While speaking, Mourinho also signaled the assistant coach to open the big screen in the tactical room and start playing Manchester City's game analysis clip:
< br>"Today, let's first see how the opponent plays on the field"
Manchester United's generals spent the entire morning in the tactical room.
After watching Manchester City's game analysis clips, they then used the analysis of Mourinho and the tactical coach to understand how to deal with Manchester City players.
Judging from Mourinho's attitude and the game analysis data he prepared, all Manchester United players, including Ling Feng, can feel that Mourinho attaches great importance to this game and wants to win this game. Determination to compete!
It is no exaggeration to say that this is definitely the most important game for Mourinho and Manchester United so far this season!
