On this day, hundreds of journalists gathered at the press conference at Old Trafford, and United even sent security guards to stand guard at the door, and only those who accepted invitations and were allowed to enter for interviews were allowed in.

Xiao Yu is one of them.

He always had to dress formally for such formal occasions, and although he didn't like suits and leather shoes, it was inevitable to mix in British high society.

It was a press conference, but it was actually a press conference for Manchester United.

Xiao Yu, who was once considered a traitor to Manchester United, was able to appear on such an occasion, which naturally attracted a lot of attention, especially his recent debate with Edwards on TV, although the latter's downfall was not directly related to him, but this did not prevent everyone's imagination.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao Yu!" Peter Kenyon came up with an assistant.

Xiao Yu shook hands with him politely, then looked at the luxurious press conference and smiled, "I've been a Manchester United fan for decades, and this is the first time I've come to this place." ”

"yes, that's right here, we've announced the arrival of Stam to everybody, and I'm sure it's going to be here, and we're going to announce more and more superstars." Peter Kenyon is ambitious.

Fresh off replacing Edwards as general manager, he has already begun to overhaul the club and is confident that the future will be better than ever under his leadership.

This made Xiao Yu think of Veron, and perhaps the Argentine superstar is now in Manchester United's acquisition plan.

Seeing that Xiao Yu didn't seem to have much interest in his plan, Kenyon was a little embarrassed, pointed to a position in the front row, and then walked over with Xiao Yu.

"Frankly speaking, Mr. Xiao Yu, although Mr. Edwards once had a misunderstanding about the formation of the new Manchester United, but I hope that Manchester United and the new Manchester United can put aside their old suspicions and even establish a friendly relationship, you know, there are many clubs around Manchester that were founded by Manchester United fans, and we welcome this very much!"

Xiao Yu smiled, "And then?" ”

"Then, your new Manchester United can get help from Manchester United, such as youth training, such as coaching staff, such as interpersonal relationships, etc., of course, with Mr. Xiao Yu's current status and financial resources, there is no need for Manchester United's financial support at all."

"So what are we going to do with our new Manchester United?" Xiao Yu suddenly understood what Kenyon was planning.

It is true that United have established a number of partner clubs around Manchester, which are part of Manchester United's youth system, but he did not expect that this was founded during the Kenyon period.

'We can work together in all aspects, the training of the Academy players, the transfer of the first team players and so on, which will bring our two clubs together a lot, you know, there are a lot of new Manchester United fans who are hostile to Manchester United.

Xiao Yu really wants to say, it was all caused by you, look at what Edwards said in an interview, is that what a chairman who supports fans to create a club should say?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kenyon, it's hard for me to change the minds of the fans, maybe I should say that our two clubs have completely different business philosophy, you are a public company, you are a public company, you are a profit, you are a very pure football club."

Xiao Yu still had something to say in his heart, because he knew that the occasion was wrong.

Edwards is already planning to sell his shares in Manchester United, and some of Murdoch's shares in Manchester United are also planning to change hands, Xiao Yu has no way to buy these shares, because he is the owner of the new Manchester United and cannot take charge of two professional clubs, otherwise, there will definitely be trouble.

Besides, not afraid to admit that he is not interested in a stake in Manchester United.

It is a club that has been formed, no matter who comes to the forefront, the final result is the same, on the other hand, the new Manchester United, under the leadership of Xiao Yu, is moving step by step towards the direction he planned, which is the club that can bring Xiao Yu a sense of accomplishment.

After hearing this, Kenyon was a little embarrassed, but he still squeezed out a smile and nodded, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Xiao Yu, I want to inform you privately first, we Manchester United have decided to cooperate with Nike, so in August 2002, after the end of our sponsorship contract with Umbro, we will not continue to choose to renew the contract, I hope you can understand!" ”

Xiao Yu also smiled, he already knew about this matter, and he also received the rumor, "You should fax this matter to Umbro, not tell me, Mr. Kenyon, I am here to attend the autobiography press conference as a friend of Beckham!" ”

Kenyon was bored with himself, so he had to walk away in a huff.

In the distance, the silver-haired, but red-faced Ferguson had obviously been watching this side, and after Kenyon walked away, Xiao Yu saw him and greeted him, no matter what the relationship between the new Manchester United and Manchester United was, he was full of respect for Ferguson.

"I thought you wouldn't come!" Xiao Yu said with a smile.

"David told you?" Ferguson asked sensitively.

Xiao Yu laughed, shook his head, and pointed to his head, "I'll think about it myself, Sir." ”

The reporters in the venue were scratched, and the two protagonists of today's press conference, David Beckham and Kenyon, came to the front one after another, and then the host announced the start of today's press conference.

But Ferguson didn't mean to walk over at all, Xiao Yu simply stood with him, and the two of them stood like the staff at the venue.

"Times have changed, Jazz, today's players play with computers, mobile phones, drive Ferraris, Lamborghini, wear Armani, it's completely different from before, treat these new generation of players, I think you should change your tactics, they are very, very respectful of you, just like they respect their father."

"But they always rebelled against their fathers!" Ferguson replied with a sneer.

Xiao Yu smiled bitterly, it is very difficult to change a person's stubbornness, he doesn't have that ability, and he doesn't have the need to change Ferguson, because it has nothing to do with him.

"Jazz, have you noticed that your office is much quieter now, whether it's Keane, Steve Bruce and other players or other staff at the club, they would always come to your office and chat with you after practice, and you had a good conversation and talked about everything, but now it's not?"

Ferguson was touched by Xiao Yu's words, in fact, he later said in private that after the team won the treble, the atmosphere in the club has changed a lot, the players no longer talk about him as before, and even his most trusted assistants no longer talk to him about things other than training.

Every day, after arranging the training session and handing it over to the assistant, he returned to his office, he didn't dare to close the door, he just waited quietly to see who would appear at the door, knock on the door, walk in, talk to him, talk about anything.

Strangely, no one will come!

Why?

Ferguson is a very smart and wise old man, Xiao Yu doesn't need to say more, let him think for himself, and then he walked over to find a seat.

This is the press conference of Beckham's autobiography, and it is also the press conference for Manchester United to announce the renewal of Beckham's contract, this time the contract renewal, Beckham's salary will once again break Manchester United's salary structure, and at the same time, Kenyon also announced that he will renew the contract with several key players in the team in the next two months.

Xiao Yu sat down and listened quietly, but he was thinking in his mind that after the contract renewal, the salary will increase significantly, and the profit of the new Manchester United will definitely be reduced, and at this time they may start to play the idea of stadium tickets again.

The press conference lasted about half an hour, and after the meeting, Xiao Yu met with Beckham, he was invited by Xiaobei, and he couldn't say anything about not meeting him, and then returned directly to the Newton Heath training base, and he didn't see Ferguson again during the whole process, and I don't know if he would change his mind because of what he just said.

After returning to the club, Xiao Yu had just walked to the door of his office when the secretary at the front desk caught up and said that Kaka had come to look for him just now.

Since being brought to Manchester by Xiao Yu for treatment, Kaka's injuries have recovered quickly, and at the same time, he has been recovering with the help of the laboratory for the past two months, and at the same time, he has also carried out some physical strengthening training, coupled with the adjustment of his diet, which has made Kaka's originally thin body begin to become stronger.

After his father returned to Brazil, he was also busy with work, and only occasionally had time to come to see him, and now Kaka borrows Xiao Yu's home and comes to Newton Heath training base during the day to train with the first team, which makes the Brazilian guy feel that he has a full life and gets along quite well with the players of the team, especially with Messi and Juninho Jr.

After a period of familiarity, Mourinho admired the strength and skills of the Brazilian player, and asked many times about Kaka to see if the club could keep him, although due to his physical condition, as well as labor certification issues, he could not be allowed to play for the time being, but he will definitely become the main star of the club in the future.

This reminded Xiao Yu, so he immediately contacted the Brazilian club Sao Paulo to inquire about the acquisition of Kaka, you know, although the Sao Paulo club is very optimistic about Kaka's prospects, he has never played a single game for the first team, so the new Manchester United offered a price of 1.5 million pounds, and Sao Paulo agreed without thinking about it.

£1.5 million is not a low price in Brazil, but compared to the value of Kaka in the future, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

As for why Kaka's value is so much higher than Juninho Jr., this is also an almost outrageous phenomenon of domestic transfers in Brazil, that is, a midfield star like Juninho Jr., who is practical but not big enough and has a not gorgeous style of play, no matter how strong he is, he is not welcomed in Brazil and cannot be sold at a high price.

On the other hand, talented stars like Denelson and Ronaldinho, no matter what his future prospects are, in short, they just hype it up first, raise the price to an unbelievable point, and then sell it off, which was the case with Denilson.

Gremio recently posted a value of $50 million to Ronaldinho, because Denilson's sky-high transfer to Real Betis, Gremio believes that Ronaldinho is called Ronaldo Jr., how can the price be higher than Denilson?

Originally, Xiao Yu thought that this matter had been settled, but Kaka suddenly came to him, which made him feel a little strange.
