Chapter 831 The Mishap at the Christmas Party

Chapter 831 The Mishap at the Christmas Party

December 12th, Christmas.

Although it is a holiday, Manchester United still trained at the Carrington base in the morning. Tomorrow they will host Newcastle United at home.

However, that night, the whole team held a Christmas party at the Manchester Place Apartments, and the stars and their wives appeared one after another.

Many players also showed up in weird costumes, such as Lukaku who played the Hulk, Lingard with a Santa hat and a white beard, and Sun Wu and Christine in robes and wands...

In fact, Sun Wu was quite helpless, this was Fei Sun's idea, and Christine also came up with random ideas on the sidelines.

This year's Christmas party was relatively flat, on the one hand because Real Madrid was drawn in the knockout round of the top [-] yesterday, and on the other hand because all the old people in the team had left.

Usually at Christmas, the captain Rio Ferdinand or Giggs would organize an unofficial party to liven up the atmosphere, but now that Giggs has entered the coaching staff, Sun Wu obviously won't do it... In his words, I want to You can organize a party, but wait until February 2 next year.

However, for Christmas this year, Manchester United officially sent greeting cards to every player on loan with a small gift. This was Sun Wu's idea.

Although Vardy is full of stars, he still cannot hide the brilliance of Harry Kane. This striker who is considered mediocre by the industry has finally begun to bloom in the top league. Although he only scored 7 goals in the half season, he has become Leicester City's main force.

It is Kanter who attracts more attention from insiders than Harry Kane. He currently ranks first in the league steals list, averaging 3.9 steals per game, leaving the No.2 Chelsea midfielder Matic far behind.

Michael Keane, who was rented out to Cardiff City, was also well received.

The most important thing is that both Leicester City and Cardiff City intend to buy them out. In the game between the club and the players, it is difficult to say who has the initiative, and they... especially the first two are Sun Wu Indispensable core figure in the plan.

"Hey, Best, go sing a song!" Miguel shouted loudly: "Don't be shy!"

Sun Wu's tone insufficiency is quite famous, at least his teammates know it.

"Maybe perform a magic trick... No, magic is fine too!" Lingard bounced around and laughed, "Of course, you can't use the Unforgivable Curse..."

Sun Wupi hummed without smiling, "Miki, do you want to give you a forgetting curse... Lingard, I should give you a stiff leg..."

Sitting next to Sun Wu, Pochettino glanced at Griezmann who was singing on the stage, "The microphone is broken...Best, give him a loud voice..."

Sun Wu has always been a very unique existence in Manchester United, not only because he also serves as an assistant coach, but because of his nicknames of "Prophet" and "Oriental Wizard".

Last season, Sun Wu insisted that Liverpool would lose points against mid-lower teams in the last few months. Others thought it was blunt, but the facts proved Sun Wu's correctness.

During the summer training camp, Sun Wu reminded Luke Xiao to be careful not to get injured. Once you are injured, it will be very troublesome to recover... This is good. Luke Xiao was injured this time. He planned to come back at the end of October, but it was postponed twice in a row. Now Dr. Swell is afraid to give a clear comeback time.

In the previous game against Southampton, Sun Wu loudly reminded him to be careful of Prowse's free kick, and then he scored a free kick to equalize, making Manchester United's 14-game winning streak dream come to nothing.

All in all, the nickname "Oriental Wizard" who was injured by his teammates on the bench that year has a wider meaning.

At this moment, Cliff Batty, the club's financial director, walked over in a hurry, looking not very good.

Three minutes later, Batty, Sun Wu and Pochettino sat down in the corner, and all three were a little dejected.

Half an hour ago, Fiorentina notified Manchester United that they had unilaterally closed off the deal negotiations between the two sides on Savage.

"The price has been raised, 1350 million euros, and there are additional clauses of 200 million euros." Barty spread his hands, "but Florence's attitude is very firm."

Pochettino and Sun Wu looked at each other and asked: "Has the young player from Sporting Lisbon made contact?"

"Eckel Dell." Batty nodded, "The report from the scouts has been passed and has been faxed, but Sporting Lisbon is a bit open-mouthed."

"How much?" Sun Wu raised his eyebrows. Although he didn't have much impression, Dell's worth is not very high, it should be around 400 million euros.

"900 million pounds, and there will be [-]% of the second transaction amount in dividends." Batty said blankly: "I strongly recommend that you do not trade during the winter transfer period in the future. Even if you trade, it will take a long time." contact period... like Shaqiri."

Negotiations with Shaqiri went very smoothly. With a worth of 800 million pounds and a weekly salary of 6.5 pounds, the official announcement will be made on January 1 next year. Shaqiri will leave for Manchester the day after tomorrow to prepare for a medical examination.

Pochettino smacked his lips. After hearing the name of Dale, he went back and searched for information. He was very interested in this tall young player. Although Dale was selected for the England National Youth Team of all ages, he did not mention the 900% bonus. , the worth of [-] million pounds alone is outrageous.

Batty glanced at Sun Wu. He thought that such an outrageous price might have something to do with this Chinese player. After all, Dell was not well-known in England, even in the Portuguese League. Europe is gone.

Sun Wu suddenly got up and ran to Dr. Swell, who told him that Alderweireld's injury would take at least the end of February to recover.

Once Smalling completes the transfer, the central defender can only rely on Phil Jones and Rojo to support him. McNair and Blackett are too inexperienced. It would be better to buy Maguire with them. At least they Has experience in the Championship.

In fact, Maguire is now in Hull City in the Premier League, but he basically has no chance to play. Instead, he has accumulated a lot of experience in Sheffield United in the Championship in the previous two seasons.

The sudden change made the atmosphere of this Christmas party a bit dull.

Early the next morning, both Pochettino and Sun Wu knew why Florence was so determined.

The Spanish "Marca" revealed that Uruguayan midfielder Suarez will leave the club. Although he did not disclose the transfer target and transfer fee, Manchester United is of course aware that Simeone used Suarez as a bargaining chip to let Fiorentina let go. In terms of attracting players Atletico Madrid, last season's Champions League champion, is not much worse than Manchester United.

This deal should happen next summer, but Manchester United's pursuit of Savage made Simeone make an early move. Facing two similar offers, Fiorentina naturally chose Atletico Madrid, who was willing to send Suarez.
