Chiellini in 2001 was a fierce central midfielder at Livorno, he has yet to play his later left wing-back and the centre-back that made him popular, but he is a player from Livorno's academy and still has some place at the club.

This is also a typical characteristic of all football clubs in the world, and the children who come out of their own house are always a little bit different.

However, Chiellini did not have much competition in Livorno's midfield, he appeared more as a substitute, or a central midfielder, or a left midfielder, because he was a left-footed player, tall and physical, but his technique was rougher, which made him unable to occupy a place in Livorno's midfield.

Livorno is determined to rush to Serie B this season, so when the representative of the new Manchester United approached the team and made an offer of 800,000 euros for Chiellini, Livorno hesitated for a moment and finally nodded and agreed to the new Manchester United offer.

With the 800,000 euros, Livorno could buy a few more more targeted players, and Chiellini really has no place in Livorno this season, so cashing him out for money is indeed a good deal.

In Xiao Yu's memory, Chiellini only became famous in one fell swoop after switching to left fullback in the 03-04 season, and was later valued by Juventus, and after buying out the ownership, he sold half to Fiorentina, and then redeemed Juventus, and was transformed into a central defender by Deschamps, which became famous in one fell swoop.

And now Chiellini is a midfielder who plays soy sauce.

From Livorno to the new Manchester United, the Italian third division transferred to the English third division, the league level has not changed, but the new Manchester United promised to give him the main position in the first team rotation, which Livorno could not give him, so Chiellini hesitated for a few days, gritted his teeth, and rushed to Manchester.

When he arrived in Manchester, he found that in addition to adapting to a foreign style of football, he also had to adapt to a new position on the pitch, centre-back!

The new United ended the season with the departure of Paulsen and Kitson and the introduction of four players – Didier Drogba, Max Senna, Giorgio Chiellini and Petr Cech – all at Mourinho's behest.

The transferred players sold for 3.5 million pounds, and the players transferred in all added up to less than 2 million pounds, of which Senna only symbolically paid a training fee to the Sao Paulo club, so as to get a strong back that performed well in the Brazilian league.

Whether it is in terms of the quality of the players or the development potential, the new Manchester United has improved significantly.

But except for Xiao Yu, no one has this kind of vision and insight.

Of course, the new Manchester United club is convinced of Xiao Yu's vision, because Xiao Yu has brought every player to the club in the past few years, and in the end it has been proven to be worth the money, and almost all the players are currently being concerned by other teams, but the attitude of the new Manchester United to the death and not letting go, coupled with the players' reluctance to force the transfer, made them stay in the end.

Isn't there a saying?

Charcoal in the snow is always more valuable than icing on the cake!

The new Manchester United gave them the opportunity to prove their worth when they were at their last moment, and they didn't have no emotion in their hearts and they didn't want to be ungrateful so they didn't want to get into a fight with the club for a transfer.

As for Xiao Yu's attitude of not selling, it is easy to understand, in order to ensure the team's results, only a small adjustment can be made every season, and a wide range of buying and selling people is not conducive to the club's competitiveness.

Any experienced club decision-maker will understand this!

In the past year, the new Manchester United sold Distin, Stansson, Paulson and Kitson, coupled with the retirement of Schmeichel, and now the purchase of these players is not a small move, and can no longer break the bones.

And it is true that no club can offer a price that makes Xiao Yu excited.

For example, Hleb, the winger who performed very well last season, was favored by many teams, including clubs in England and from abroad, but they only made a maximum offer of 1.8 million pounds, which made Xiao Yu shake his head and refuse without even thinking about it.

Hlebco is a better player than Kitson, will he be worth less than Kitson?

Anyway, the new Manchester United is not short of money, rather than selling it cheaply, it is better to keep it for its own use.

And Hleb has also talked to the club that he has no plans to transfer for the time being, because the club's current development momentum is very strong, and after being promoted from League C to League Two, it is possible to continue to be promoted, after all, the gap between the two levels of the league is not too big.

However, the new Manchester United thinks that there is no problem, but it does not mean that the outside media thinks there is no problem.

When they saw that the new Manchester United were making a fuss in the transfer market, compared to Brighton's successive big spending, they seemed a little petty, so some media couldn't sit still and began to question the new Manchester United's finances and transfer strategy.

…………

…………

The multi-purpose press room at Newton Heath's training base was filled with more than two dozen media outlets from home and abroad, all of whom were attracted to the new Manchester United.

Xiao Yu and Jose Mourinho, the manager who has returned from vacation, stand next to each other, with two players on the left and right flanks, both of whom are new Manchester United signings this season, and this is a meeting specially prepared for them by New Manchester United.

Although it is only a promotion horse in League Two, it can attract so many media to the scene, which shows that the attraction of the new Manchester United in the League Two team is still very high, which has something to do with the historical background of the new Manchester United and Curtis, who has been hotly hyped recently.

In this just-completed multi-functional press conference room, the host first introduced the main content of today's press conference, introduced to the media the four players signed by the new Manchester United, and also briefly introduced the experience of these four players, and then entered the free question stage.

This is also the most difficult stage of the press conference!

"Hello, Mr Mourinho, I would like to ask what are the goals of the new Manchester United this season?" Immediately, a reporter raised his hand and stood up to ask a question.

Mourinho smiled a little arrogantly, "Brighton said a few days ago that their goal this season is to win the title, but it's a pity that last year we beat Brighton in both legs in the English League C, we are the champions of the English League C, we beat them, I believe this season will be the same, we are also aiming for the title!" ”

"And what about Reading?"

Mourinho seemed to be thinking about it carefully, seeing him like this, Xiao Yu felt funny, this guy had made preparations before the press conference, but now he was pretending to be in a posture, it can only be said that he enjoys this kind of scenery in front of the spotlight.

"I have the impression that we have defeated them before!"

"But that was in the Steve Bruce era, and Bruce is now leading Birmingham to the Premier League, but you, Mr Mourinho, are in League Two!" Another journalist seems to want to remind Mourinho that he is far worse than Bruce.

Mourinho wasn't angry, just smiled, "Bruce is a very capable manager, he's the first manager of the new Manchester United, I respect him, I hope to meet Birmingham in the Carabao Cup or FA Cup this season, it's going to be a very interesting game, and after that game, if you're still in your current newspaper, Mr. Journalist, I want to see you!" ”

This is a naked provocation, but the English media is happy to see this kind of gimmick, so they immediately chased Mourinho and asked a few sensitive topics about the comparison between him and Bruce, but Mourinho is obviously familiar with this kind of scene and answers without leakage.

may have seen Mourinho play Tai Chi pushing, so the reporters at the scene shifted their attention to Xiao Yu.

"May I ask Mr. Xiao Yu, some people say that New Manchester United is in a financial crisis, is this true?"

"Fake!" Xiao Yu replied without thinking about it.

"So how do you explain that this summer, when all the rivals are making big moves, the new Manchester United haven't made much of a move? Could it be that the new Manchester United are aiming for relegation this season, not the title race as Mr Mourinho said? ”

There are a lot of traps in these words, and Xiao Yu feels that these reporters are really too smart.

At this moment, it was clear to him that he should hire a professional journalist for the club to help the club, the players and the staff deal with the media, otherwise there might be some inappropriate news one day.

'No, our goal this season is to win the title and Mr Mourinho is right!'

"So how do you explain your inaction in the transfer market?"

'Because we are strong enough, the opponents are aggressively recruiting, that's because they find that they want to beat us, there is still a big gap, so they have to do everything possible to bring in reinforcements, but we are different, we have enough quality to compete for the League Two title, so we don't have to burn money like our opponents.

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar, which is more arrogant than Mourinho, and this will undoubtedly put the new Manchester United in opposition to Brighton and other teams.

But what does it matter?

Speaking of this, Xiao Yu paused and continued: "Our recruitment this season is really not big, but every player we have introduced is very powerful, so we all believe that this season's new Manchester United will be more competitive than last year, as for the remaining funds for recruitment, we will use it to improve the club's training base, academy and stadium, that is the future of a club!" ”

"Then what do you think of the new signing Didier Drogba, who couldn't even play in Ligue 2 last year!"

was counted down by reporters in person, and even Drogba's skin was a little unbearable, but Mourinho, who was sitting next to him, pulled his hand and signaled that he had better not be fooled by reporters.

He believes that Xiao Yu should be able to deal with this kind of scene!

"Really? Then I can only say that the level of Ligue 2 is too high, even higher than the Premier League, because in my impression, Drogba is definitely a Premier League level player, he is the Batistuta of our team, our god of war! ”
