In a mansion on the outskirts of Manchester, Beckham, who had just returned from a workout in the fitness room, was sitting leisurely in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the sunset was shining obliquely through the floor-to-ceiling windows, shining on his body, warm and comfortable.

stared intently at the newspaper in front of him, took a glass of boiled water, took a sip, put it back, turned the page of the newspaper, came to the entertainment section, and was immediately attracted by a very conspicuous photo.

"Xiao Yu? Eva Snow? Love? Beckham cried out in surprise.

"Victoria, do you know this?"

Victoria, who was taking care of her baby son, immediately handed over the child to the nanny when she heard this, and then motioned to take it out, walked over, sat down on Beckham's lap, and looked at the newspaper, which published a photo that was not so clear, but familiar people could judge that this was indeed Xiao Yu and Eva Snow.

"I didn't expect a reporter to really take a picture of it!" Victoria said amusedly.

After Beckham heard this inexplicable sentence, he stared at his wife a little strangely, "What do you mean, Victoria?" ”

Victoria smiled and kissed Beckham on the cheek, and said tenderly: "This is a woman who is carried away by love, and deliberately arranges a game for the man she loves, just like I did for you back then." ”

"So, you already knew they were dating?" Beckham looked at his beloved wife affectionately.

"Of course, it's always been you who are too careless to see it, I've always noticed that Eva's eyes are a little different when she looks at Xiao Yu, but I didn't expect them to develop so fast, that little girl is really brave, as if she was afraid that someone else would rob her lover!"

After saying that, Victoria laughed in a variety of ways.

"Then is she serious about Xiao Yu?" Beckham thought for a moment and asked.

In his impression, Xiao Yu is a very good friend, very low-key, and it seems that there has never been an emotional scandal, so he is a little worried about his good friend, after all, Eva Snow is a new popular actress in Hollywood, if he just wants to use Xiao Yu to gain fame, then he will definitely break it.

"Don't worry, David, I can assure you that she is absolutely absolutely serious, I even suspect that there is no one in this world who loves Xiao Yu more than her, at least she secretly told me on the phone that the man she identified in her life is Xiao Yu!"

If Eva said it to the media herself, then this sentence has little credibility, but when it comes out of the mouth of her best friend Victoria, it is naturally convincing, at least she doesn't need to play any tricks on Victoria's side.

"That's good, I think they're good together." Beckham breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

"Well, so that little girl is already working for her lover now." Victoria laughed.

David Beckham pointed to the newspapers, "By these media? ”

"David, don't you think it's inconceivable that the opening of a new stadium by a club in the national league can attract the attention of dozens, if not hundreds, of British and European media?"

Beckham looked at his wife in surprise, he felt that he didn't seem to know much about their entertainment industry.

"Eva's success in Hollywood is not only due to her stunning beauty, not only by her acting skills and relationships, but also by a group of people behind her who are giving advice to her, she is a very, very smart woman, so she knows very well that in football, she can't help Xiao Yu, so she wants to help him in other aspects, such as building momentum in the media for the new Manchester United!"

"But on the football field, it's always about strength, Victoria!"

"That's right, but you have to admit that football as a sport has become more and more inseparable from the media, and sponsorship fees, appearance fees, and even the price of club tickets have begun to be affected by this, and many fans have even been promoted by the media to turn to a certain team."

"Well, I have to admit it, a club's prestige is important, I listen to you, Eva is going to be there in the FA Cup game between the new Manchester United and Arsenal?"

"Of course, David, she's definitely not going to be absent, she's the focus of those reporters, and she's invited me."

"You're going too?" Beckham laughed a little, he felt that he couldn't understand what the women were playing.

But the only thing that is certain is that Victoria is right, Eva Snow really loves Xiao Yu.

"I want you to go besides me, David!" Victoria hesitated for a moment, then proposed.

"That's not good, Victoria, you know, we're going to fly to Brazil on the afternoon of the 2nd, if I go to watch the new Manchester United game before the 1st, if it's caught on live TV, I'll have to explain to the club for a long time, don't embarrass me, baby!"

Beckham took Victoria in his arms, and the latter, like a tame cat, curled up and leaned against her husband's chest.

"But David, blindly tolerate, blindly afraid, this is certainly not the way, you look at Keane, he has been so fierce with Manchester United this season, but he succeeded, he successfully made Edwards break the club's salary structure, and he got the highest salary at Manchester United."

Beckham frowned when he heard Victoria bring the topic back to this issue, "It's different, Victoria, Keane is the captain, he has the reason and ability to do this!" ”

"But you have it too, David, you know you have it, you just don't want to!" Victoria snatched the words, and her tone became a little excited, "Because of you, how much more sponsorship money do those sponsors give Manchester United every year?" Without you, Manchester United's appearance fee would be a third less, and without you, how many more Manchester United shirts could be sold? ”

Speaking of this, Victoria eased and breathed a little relieved.

"I know that Keane is the captain and the core of Manchester United, but you are also the core of Manchester United, you have proposed several times that you want to be able to adjust your position to the middle, just to take on more responsibilities for the core of the team, just like Zidane, but every time, you are pressed down by the big hat of club interests, you obey, David!"

Hearing his wife tell him about the past, Beckham couldn't find any reason to refute it, so he could only listen quietly, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Ferguson always scolds you, saying that you are alienated from him under my influence, and you are slowly alienating football, but in fact, you know David, things are not like that, when you were drunk that day, you said, your first commercial contract was taken by Ferguson to sign, it was he and Manchester United who took you on this road, and it was this club that needs you to take on such a role for its own brand and image, so it pushed you out."

'Now you're playing for the club on the pitch and making money for the club off the pitch, but what about them? Stam got the highest salary when he transferred, and now Keane is in trouble, he successfully gets a higher salary, and the club has taken a fancy to the Dutch shooter named Van Nistelrooy, and in order to grab him, he also offered a high salary, but what about you? ”

"They scold you for not being loyal enough, scolding you for being taken bad by me, but in fact, they treat you badly, they are using the hat of loyalty to kidnap your freedom, exploit your labor income, with your current position in football, you transfer to any other giant, you can get the highest salary in the world, but in this team, you are not even as good as Keane, not as good as Stam, maybe even worse than a fledgling Dutch goalscorer!"

The couple had discussed the subject many times, but each time, it almost ended in a quarrel, but this time, Victoria was more resolute than any before, because Keane fought for what he wanted, and at the same time Gary Neville, David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Giggs and others wanted to fight for.

Home flowers are not as fragrant as wildflowers, Manchester United has used two completely different sets of standards in recent years to treat youth players and attract foreign players, especially in 2001 when Veron transferred, this contradiction reached its peak.

With the exception of Manchester United, almost every football club in the world has the same contradiction.

The reason why the club hesitated for so long on the issue of Keane's contract extension is because they know very well that they have been treating these players who have been cultivated by the academy and have a high level of loyalty to the club, and once they pay Keane a higher salary, it means that other players can also fight for more benefits for themselves through Keane's way.

"The career of a player is very short, David, we have children, we have to think about our future, you can't play football for a lifetime, loyalty must be based on mutual respect, the rest of the things, leave it to me, okay, David? Just for the kids! ”

His beloved wife begged softly, but Beckham really didn't know how to answer.

He knew very well in his heart what was going on, and he also knew that no matter what Victoria did, it was for him, but he was still very hesitant, he still had a lot of affection for this club, at least this club, the Ferguson who he once regarded as his father cultivated him, otherwise there would be no Beckham today.

"Don't worry, David, I know what you're worried about, I won't make it difficult for you, you just need to play your strength well on the court, and as for the rest, I'll do it for you." Victoria grabbed Beckham's hand and helped him make up his mind.

"All right, Victoria, but, don't make too much of a fuss!" Beckham sighed.

Victoria smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I'm measured!" ”
