Chapter 15 Higher Status?

With Carlo Ancelotti's consent, Pogba has become United's number one target in this transfer window.

Of course, that doesn't mean United have given up on other goals.

Although it won the treble last season, the most direct way for a team to maintain its fighting strength for a long time and keep replenishing quality players.

There was more news in the media about Paul Pogba and Manchester United. However, Manchester United understand that this is the work of Pogba's insatiable agent, who will do whatever it takes to get the best deal for the player.

However, after learning that Pogba was very likely to be acquired, Ancelotti began to think about United's tactical options when Pogba arrived.

There is no doubt that when Carrick gets old, Pogba will be the one who can carry the banner of Manchester United's midfield, but Carrick and Pogba's styles are not consistent, and Ancelotti is more concerned about how to use Pogba's ability to create more opportunities for Li Qingshan.

Pogba is the kind of player who has almost no shortcomings, whether it is foot technique, physical confrontation ability, height, header, Pogba is very good. But if Pogba has any weakness, it's that he's too sticky and his style of play is too free-spirited.

Carlo Ancelotti is not the kind of stubborn coach who has to follow his baton and he encourages the free play of some talented players, but only if it is to help the team.

Just like Li Qingshan, Carlo Ancelotti will never dictate Li Qingshan's choices on the field, he knows how much this boy has to score goals, he always has a way to get the ball into the opponent's goal - that's enough, isn't it?

But if a team has too many players with such a degree of freedom, it is obviously not good, and now the core of this team is Li Qingshan, and Pogba's freedom must be under the premise of serving the core.

Having to make the most of Pogba's ability and make the free-spirited Frenchman subordinate to the team as a whole has been racking his brains lately.

Perhaps, add a thug-like player in the midfield to wipe Pogba's ass?

......

In the evening, when Li Qingshan returned to his residence after a day's training, his agent, the big fat man Raiola, was already waiting for him here.

"You're waiting for a raise, Lee!"

As soon as they met, Raiola laughed.

Li Qingshan pushed the door in, put his coat on the coat rack, and then wiped his sweat with a towel - he had come back from a run.

"A raise? Miha, I've only been at Manchester United for one season and I have four years left on my contract, so Manchester United won't be talking about a contract extension for me so soon. ”

For a club, even a core player like Li Qingshan must start to negotiate a renewal at least when there are two years left in the contract, and the renewal is generally equivalent to a salary increase.

Raiola didn't speak, he waited until Li Qingshan sat down on the sofa, and then he came up and said mysteriously: "Because, Paul is coming?" ”

"Paul.... Pogba?! ”

Li Qingshan was taken aback.

"What the media says is ......" Li Qingshan understood when he saw Raiola's smiling expression.

It turned out that it was all the ghost of this big fat man.

What Juventus is not sold, what Real Madrid is close to signing, and what Paris Saint-Germain has made a move, it turned out to be a smoke bomb released by Raiola, just to help Paul Pogba transfer to Manchester United.

In this way, this big fat man should have won a big contract for Pogba.

"But what does this have to do with me?" Li Qingshan picked up a glass of boiled water, took a sip and asked.

Raiola shook his head slightly, it is true that Li Qingshan is an unborn genius in football, but in terms of human sophistication, he is only a twenty-three-year-old boy.

"Because Manchester United are going to pay Paul £300,000 a week, do you know what that means?"

Li Qingshan roughly understands that in a team, the level of salary often means status. Before Rooney left, the first highest salary in the team was captain Rooney, and the second was Li Qingshan. Now that Rooney is gone, Li Qingshan has naturally become the highest-paid player in the team. But now that Paul Pogba has transferred, if Manchester United gives Pogba a weekly salary of 300,000, Manchester United will definitely give himself a contract extension and a salary increase in order to appease himself, the absolute core of the team.

"I roughly get it." Li Qingshan was thoughtful.

Raiola leaned back on the sofa, he can be described as a spring breeze these days, if nothing else, Pogba's single transfer is completed, this agent can get more than 10 million pounds!

And now as soon as Pogba comes, Manchester United is forced to start negotiations on Li Qingshan's salary increase. This Raiola is made at both ends.

No wonder this big fat man is getting richer and richer.

Raiola grabbed a large slice of cheese from the table and stuffed it into his mouth, making Li Qingshan frown.

With such a high-calorie food, even Li Qingshan, who has a lot of exercise, does not eat as much as Raiola in a day.

"Miha, have you heard of the average life expectancy of fat people?" Li Qingshan reminded loudly.

"Don't tell me this, do you know how heavy my uncle is? One hundred and twenty kilograms, but do you know how long he lived? Raiola waved her hand, held out a finger and smiled.

The topic was not continued, and Raiola sighed: "Rooney is gone, Carrick is old. The problem in front of Manchester United right now is the dressing room, have you ever wondered what kind of role you should play at Manchester United? ”

Li Qingshan didn't understand what Raiola meant for a while: "Role? Do you want to discuss techniques and tactics with me? ”

Raiola waved her hand: "No, no, no, you don't understand what I mean. I'm talking about the position in the dressing room, the former Manchester United, the captain is Wayne Rooney, the vice-captain is Carrick. But after Rooney is gone, the captain must be Carrick's, but have you ever wondered if you were appointed vice-captain? ”

Li Qingshan waved his hand: "I am now the tactical core of the team, and all the tactics revolve around me." ”

'It's true, so you should ask for a higher status from the club and I think you should have that awareness.'

'But Carlo Ancelotti values me.

"I'm talking about the dressing room, you have to have a say in your name! That means your position in the team, Carrick can't be a leader like Keane and Eric Cantona, but ....... You can! ”

Raiola's eyes burned.
