On June 20, the Red Rebels took the lead in announcing on the official website that the team acquired Manchester United's star David Beckham at a high price of 18 million pounds, who signed with the Red Rebels for 4 years, and the specific salary was not announced, but the outside world speculated that the weekly salary was the same as the Manchester United period, 90,000 pounds after tax, which was also the highest salary in the Red Rebels team.

In the afternoon, Manchester United also held a press conference to announce that David Beckham had moved to the Red Rebels, and the club's press officer said that the club hoped that he would be able to do well with the Red Rebels.

These two pieces of news caused an uproar around the world, especially two days ago, everyone still swore that Beckham would transfer to Real Madrid, but now it suddenly turned around and joined the Premier League promoted horse, is there anything more shocking and incredible in the world?

In the face of media skepticism, Manchester United's press officer said it was a deliberate decision by the club's board of directors, and then refused to comment on the transfer, hastily closing the press conference.

As for the Red Rebels, they did not even hold a press conference, but said on the official website that Beckham will return to Manchester on July 1 and report to the team, and the team will conduct a medical examination for him in the morning of the same day, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, a press conference will be held at Old Trafford to announce Beckham's joining, and then he will go to Ireland for pre-season training.

The reason for choosing this place is more to avoid some media attention and try to keep a low profile for pre-season preparation.

In Ireland, the team will play four warm-up matches against some of the biggest professional teams in the region, before heading south to London on 26 July for a pre-season warm-up game against Wimbledon on 29 July.

On his return to Manchester, the Newton Heath Cup will be held on 3 August at the expanded Butcher's Knife Stadium, where De Roysden has qualified for League Two and all proceeds from this match will traditionally go to the Red Rebels Charity.

August 10 is the Community Shield, held at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, as the FA Cup winners of the Red Rebels will face city rivals Manchester United, this is also the first face-to-face competition between the Red Rebels and Manchester United, which is sought after by countless fans, especially after the Red Rebels brought in David Beckham.

…………………… After Manchester United sold Beckham at an ultra-low price of 18 million pounds, it immediately strengthened its offensive against Ronaldinho, and at the same time announced that it would bring in American goalkeeper Howard for 2.3 million pounds, which also indirectly proved Ferguson's dissatisfaction with Barthez.

Originally, Manchester United wanted to sell Beckham in the hope that the Red Rebels could use Petr Cech as a transfer add-on, but Xiao Yu clearly rejected the offer, making it clear that Cech was not for sale and refused any offer.

In addition, Manchester United also spent 3.5 million pounds to bring in Cemba from Nantes in France, and Berrion on a free transfer from Sunderland, as for the place left by Beckham's transfer, Ferguson hopes to fill it with Ronaldinho, and they have also released rumors to pursue the Red Rebels' Hleb.

However, Hleb is currently hot, including Chelsea, Arsenal, Barcelona, Real Madrid and many other big teams have expressed strong interest in the 22-year-old but has already shown strong strength, among which Arsenal was the first to offer a high price of 10 million pounds, but was rejected by the Red Rebels.

Many players of the Red Rebels have attracted the attention of many teams, but except for Hleb and Juninho Jr., the other players Xiao Yu are not easy to let go, and in the case of signing a long-term contract with the team, the players are not clamoring for a transfer, even if they want to leave, they only express their wishes to the club through their agents.

After Xiao Yu talked to Florentino, Real Madrid sent negotiators to Manchester the next day. David and Walsh came forward to negotiate with Real Madrid, and the two sides quickly finalized the details, with Juninho Jr. moving to Real Madrid for £14 million.

This is also considered to be a more pragmatic addition for Florentino, and the addition of Juninho Jr. has also greatly improved Real Madrid's organizational ability in the midfield, and many experts have said that if Juninho Jr. integrates into the team, his partnership with Makelele will make Real Madrid's overall strength stronger.

With Real Madrid's signing of Juninho Jr., Barcelona also began to strengthen its offensive against Ronaldinho, and the latter's brother frequently appeared in Barcelona, which made Manchester United, who originally thought that the signing of Ronaldinho was ironclad.

But the more scared you are, the easier it is to happen.

On June 23, Barcelona officially announced that they signed Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho of Paris Saint-Saint-Les for $28 million, which is also considered Laporta's compensation for the member, because Beckham did not come to Barcelona in the end.

A series of setbacks in the transfer market, with the loss of Ronaldinho and the rising transfer fee of Hleb, forced United to withdraw from the transfer battle for Hleb in favor of La Liga stars Joaquín, Reyes and Sporting Lisbon's Quaresma, both of whom are also Ferguson's favourites.

As for Chelsea and Arsenal, the former has a lot of money, and the latter is Wenger is very optimistic about Hleb, and the two teams are vying for bids, making Hleb's value rise rapidly, but on June 27, Barcelona offered a high price of up to 15 million pounds for the Red Rebels.

Xiao Yu had a meeting with David and Gardner of the Ministry of Commerce, knowing that Hleb's worth was about 12 million pounds, and it was very good to be able to reach the current price, so he decisively agreed to Barcelona's offer, and Hleb finally transferred to Barcelona, which not only earned enough transfer fees, but also avoided enhancing the strength of Premier League rivals.

Arsenal failed to sign Hleb, and immediately turned to Reyes, with 13.5 million pounds, higher than the transfer price in Xiao Yu's previous life, beating Manchester United and winning the Spanish star.

As for Chelsea, after Hleb's move to Barcelona, they turned to Blackburn's Duff, and two days later, Duff moved to Chelsea for a whopping £17 million, and that's not all, Chelsea announced on the same day that they had signed Joe Cole for £6 million and Mutu from Parma for £15.8 million.

For a while, the football market in Italy, Spain and Germany has entered the cold winter this summer, but England has become the focus of the world's attention, especially Chelsea, the super-rich team known as Cherski, the current players also include Veron, Crespo and other superstars, I believe that in the next period of time, they will also be the most eye-catching focus in the football market.

…………………… In addition to being in the interest market, England is also in the interest outside of the transfer market.

In the case of the bankruptcy of Kirsch in Germany last year, which almost led to the inability of the World Cup to be broadcast, the broadcast fee of the Bundesliga League was reduced by 140 million pounds, that is, 200 million euros, which is the hardest hit area.

So this season, in addition to Barcelona and Real Madrid, the Italian giants are in a collective slump, other teams in Spain have not brought in many reinforcements, and the Bundesliga teams are generally mourning, and only England remains strong.

The Premier League broadcast fee for the three years from 2001 to 2004 was 1.1 billion pounds, and each Premier League team was able to earn at least 15 million pounds per season, and in the just-concluded negotiations, the price of the Premier League broadcast fee for the next three seasons of 04-07 was again negotiated high, as high as 1.3 billion pounds.

This was greatly unexpected by Xiao Yu, because in his previous life, he remembered that the broadcast fee of the Premier League in the three seasons should only be about 1 billion, but now it is so much.

But after talking to David and Gardner in detail, Xiao Yu finally got it clear.

The sudden rise of the Red Rebels has made the Premier League a season full of highlights, especially as the team won the UEFA Cup and FA Cup last year, and won the European treble in the second tier of the Europa League, which has greatly boosted the appeal of the Premier League this season.

In addition, in Xiao Yu's previous life, when negotiating the broadcast fee, Beckham had transferred to Real Madrid, which made the appeal of the Premier League drop a lot, but now Beckham stayed in the Premier League and joined Manchester United's sworn rival Red Rebels, which undoubtedly greatly enhanced the highlights of the Premier League, especially the confrontation between the Red Rebels and several rival teams.

Just imagine, even the pre-season warm-up Community Shield has been enthusiastically praised by fans, and it is not difficult to imagine how lively the new season of the Premier League will be.

Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, these three teams are the traditional top three of the Premier League, but now the sudden rise of the Red Rebels and Chelsea, coupled with the improvement of the strength of traditional powerhouses such as Newcastle, Everton, and Aston Villa, has made many media predict that the Premier League will enter a new season in full bloom.

The two-person Premier League is not very attractive, but once it is fully blossomed, then the appeal of the Premier League will be further enhanced, especially when the Premier League market is generally hot.

Bookmakers are betting that Manchester United and Arsenal are well ahead of the bets on who will be the best contenders in the Premier League this season, followed by Chelsea and Liverpool, with the Red Rebels in 8th place and considered no problem with relegation, but the title may not be a big deal.

But in the bet on who will be the darkest horse in the Premier League this season, the Red Rebels are far ahead, and it is clear that all bettors agree that the Red Rebels will be the most likely team to upset in the Premier League this season, and they believe that it is not impossible for them to qualify for the Champions League if they continue their excellent performances last season.

The other two promoted teams, Portsmouth and Leicester City, are considered relegation teams, and their chances of becoming dark horses are unlikely, and it is still unknown whether they can be relegated.

From these two lists, it is not difficult to see the expectations of the outside world for the Red Rebels, but Xiao Yu is very clear about this, the team is a new Premier League team, the first consideration is relegation, and every game must be 100% hard, so the bonus he gave the team this season is a relegation bonus, not anything else, the purpose is to tell the players that the Red Rebels are a relegation team, and the first thing to consider is relegation.

Compared with the Premier League, the League Cup, League Cup and FA Cup are not so important, especially after the Premier League signed a new broadcast contract with Sky TV, as long as it is relegated, it can get at least 17.5 million pounds of transfer fee income in that season, plus Premier League business development, and game income and so on.

Well, a Premier League team, even if it's just the bottom of the table, earns more than the UEFA Cup winner in a season.
