Chapter 17 is a mixed bag

Manchester United have announced that they have completed the extension of Li Qingshan's contract, and the two sides have agreed to extend the original contract for another year.

Although the salary increase was not announced in the media, Li Qingshan's salary was dug up by the powerful media.

350,000 weekly salary! And that's not even counting winnings, goals, assists, championships, personal honors, and so on.

This salary means that Li Qingshan has temporarily surpassed Ronaldo and become the highest-paid footballer on the planet.

In the locker room, Ancelotti announced in public the decision to appoint Li Qingshan as the team's vice captain, and in the applause of the former team players, Li Qingshan calmly delivered his first captain's speech.

Manchester United's summer preparations are finally back on track after a toss and turns in China, the whole team is mainly training at the Carrington training base, and in the ball training, Li Qingshan's foot skills surprised Manchester United's players, even Ancelotti seems to be unable to believe that after just one holiday, Li Qingshan's foot skills have reached this level.

This fully shows how hard Li Qingshan is, and Ancelotti has found a reason for this progress.

Li Qingshan began a life of two points and one line.

Training, home. The relationship with Tian Shaohua also warmed up steadily, and Li Qingshan found that he and Tian Shaohua were actually very compatible. Tian Shaohua is an independent girl, and although her boyfriend is a big star, her job at the Madrid newspaper is still maintained. In her opinion, women are by no means accessories of men, maybe she and Li Qingshan will marry one day in the future, but before that, she also has her own job.

Soon after Li Qingshan's contract was renewed, the transfer rumors about Pogba began to gradually become more and more dense in the newspapers.

Exact news is starting to come out of Italy, with La Repubblica reporting that United will pay a total of £226 million to bring in the former zero-priced veteran. That includes Pogba's transfer fee of £112 million, a broker's commission of £25 million, and Pogba's salary for the next few years. The Mirror directly said it was "stupid", while La Repubblica jokingly stated that "it's not something that can be earned back by selling jerseys alone".

Later, it was discovered that Pogba's personal hairstylist posted photos of him and Pogba on social media, and on Instagram, the hairstylist whose account goes by the account criztofferson wrote, "Pogba's hair must be changed for the sake of his new team." #曼联"

This seems to have opened the lid of the bottle of the fancy official announcement Pogba all of a sudden.

Manchester United fans climbed the trees in anticipation of Pogba's arrival.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United will buy Pogba from Juventus for a record £100 million, and Pogba will definitely make his debut as a Manchester United player before the Premier League starts next week. Whether it's a transfer fee, a personal treatment or a broker's commission, all parties have agreed, and now only some paperwork remains.

Renowned journalist Di Marzio also said: "Juve have already met with Raiola to finalize the final details of Pogba's move to Manchester United, and the huge transfer amount makes the deal take a long time. Manchester United hope to announce a deal in the coming days once all three parties have all the documents in place. ”

The transfer soap opera was boiling, but it didn't delay Manchester United's summer training camp.

On 31 July, Manchester United played a warm-up match at home against Turkish Super League giants Galatasaray.

In this game, Carlo Ancelotti still sent a different lineup in the first and second halves, but the team's performance was still relatively satisfactory, the form of the whole team gradually recovered, Li Qingshan's goal felt good, he scored a goal in the early and late stages of the game, Manchester United won 4-1 against Galatasaret.

On the morning of August 1, Manchester United's official Twitter account posted a video titled "Are you ready? ”

The content is of course focused on looking forward to the new season, but behind the crowd of Manchester United stars, the vague Pogba in the video looms in a Manchester United shirt.

By this time, the transfer soap opera was nearing its finale.

Finally, on August 2, Manchester United officially announced that French star Paul Pogba has joined Manchester United for a transfer fee of 120 million euros!

.......

The Manchester United players met the Frenchman at the training ground.

His exaggerated hairstyle is dyed with a bright red color, which is naturally quite eye-catching.

And as soon as he showed up at United's training base, the black French star's loud voice spread throughout the training base, and he greeted every staff member he met, after all, he was only four years away and nothing has changed here.

Lingard stepped forward very familiarly and greeted Pogba with a very complicated gesture, which made a group of Manchester United players stunned.

Jesse Lingard and Paul Pogba were friends when they were in the Academy at Manchester United, and there was a guy named Morrison at that time, but the talent that amazed Ferguson did not grow up as he wished.

"Hey!!!!! Plum!!!!!! ”

When Pogba came up with a familiar hug, Li Qingshan had to endure the pungent smell of perfume and hugged this Frenchman with a detached personality.

I have to say that Pogba is a player of the new era, and he is full of the atmosphere of a new era player.

He is flamboyant, outgoing, and expressive. These qualities make Pogba always favored by commercial brands.

With Pogba on board, United's dressing room seems to be more lively.

During the training, Pogba's physical fitness and skills were amazed by the Manchester United players, but after seeing Li Qingshan's performance, Pogba was also fascinated.

On 3 August, United drew their second warm-up game since returning to England against Everton. As part of Wayne Rooney's transfer, Everton were able to arrange such a warm-up game, and they also hope to use United's global influence to expand Everton's popularity.

Pogba, who has just joined Manchester United, got the opportunity to start, in the midfield, Ancelotti arranged a midfield combination of Carrick, Herrera, and Pogba, and the front court was still Di Maria, Li Qingshan, and Mata.

Compared with the 4321 commonly used by Manchester United last season, the position premise of Di Maria and Mata, as two wingers, Manchester United's formation has also been adjusted to 433.

Pogba plays in a left-hand position in midfield, which is an area where he is often seen at Juventus.

Pogba really showed what he was capable of in this game.

Pogba first assisted Li Qingshan to score with a jump ball on the left, and then doubled the score with a free kick.

One pass and one shot, such a performance is not bad.

However, United conceded three goals in this game – two of which were counter-attacks after Paul Pogba was too sticky in midfield and was tackled.

Carlo Ancelotti frowned, Pogba's arrival must make him think about the staffing.
