Chapter 424 Manchester United fans in tears: It’s dawn!
"Have you received an offer from Manchester City?"
Lin Quan was a little surprised when he received Royce's call.
It is really unexpected that Guardiola actually set his sights on Reus.
There is no doubt about Reus's strength and talent, and he can definitely be ranked in the top ten in today's football.
But with this guy's glassy body, can he really gain a foothold in the Premier League where physical confrontation is particularly fierce?
Lin Quan felt that Guardiola was pushing him into the fire pit! "The club received your offer, which is said to be as high as 65 million euros. Haha, when I learned this number, I was shocked. You know, when Gotze was kidnapped by Bayern, Bayern only paid 37 million euros!"
Reus doesn't think he is better than Gotze, but Manchester City offered him a transfer fee of nearly 30 million more than Gotze, which is really a big deal! I have heard that Manchester City is rich and willful, and now I see that it is indeed well-deserved.
"For you, 65 million should be okay. Don't you think you are not worth it?"
After receiving successive offers of hundreds of millions of euros from clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Barcelona, Lin Quan's psychological price has been raised a lot. Now when he hears that Reus is worth 65 million, he is no longer worried.
Last year, Real Madrid spent 85 million euros to buy James Rodriguez from Monaco. Reus is definitely stronger than James Rodriguez, but he did not have the opportunity to show his ability on the World Cup stage. In addition, he missed many games in the Bundesliga and the Champions League last season due to injuries.
This has a great impact on his market value. If Reus can maintain full attendance and not get injured, his market value will definitely not be lower than that of James Rodriguez.
Of course, if Reus could really avoid injuries, Dortmund would not have reached this point today. In that case, the Hornets would definitely not sell him.
"Ahem, of course not, I was just shocked by the price!"
In the Bundesliga where Reus is, there are rarely transfers of such large amounts.
Even for the Bundesliga giants Bayern, their transfer record is only 40 million euros, which was set when they bought Martinez.
40 million euros is also the transfer record of the Bundesliga club so far.
While the Premier League and Ligue 1 were the first to cross the 100 million euro mark, the Bundesliga did not even have a single transfer worth more than 50 million euros.
I have to say that the Bundesliga team's operating style is really stable.
No wonder the Bundesliga teams have the healthiest finances among the top five leagues; with their cautious management style, it would be difficult for them to go bankrupt.
"Don't worry, you are worth the price, so don't have any psychological burden. If you want to come, then come. I personally welcome your arrival. If you don't want to leave Dortmund, then I also support you to stay. However, with Dortmund's current situation, if you continue to stay in the team, you may never have the hope of winning the Bundesliga and Champions League trophies in this life. Do you understand?"
After Klopp left, Dortmund's record did not plummet. Under the leadership of Tuchel, Dortmund quickly recovered.
But compared to its peak period, Dortmund was much worse later.
In Lin Quan's impression, Dortmund has never won the Bundesliga championship since Klopp left.
Staying in such a team that is unable to compete for the championship is definitely a waste for a player as talented as Reus.
However, considering the other party's deep feelings for Dortmund, Lin Quan did not try hard to persuade him to join Manchester City.
If he is willing to come, that would be the best. With him joining, Manchester City's midfield and frontcourt lineup will be stronger, their offense will be more difficult to resist, and the difficulty of winning honors in the league and the Champions League will be greatly reduced.
Reus joins Manchester City. Unless there are any major surprises, they will have a chance to win the Premier League title or even the Champions League. If he performs well, it will be easy for him to be selected into the best European team.
Therefore, he is indispensable in terms of honor.
"Can you give me a few days to think about it?"
Reus was also very conflicted. Before he made the call, he had actually sought the club's opinion in advance.
The club expressed support for his choice and seemed to want to give him the right to choose.
But on the other hand, he heard from other channels that the club was very interested in the price offered by Manchester City.
Dortmund is currently in a rebuilding state. After the new coach takes office, they need to buy players in the transfer market to strengthen the team.
The Hornets are not a wealthy club with a deep foundation. Their financial resources are limited. The reason why they were able to compete with Bayern in the past was entirely because they discovered and trained a large number of young players!
Now that these young players have been kicked out, they have been snatched away by major clubs and have been almost all poached.
Without the original team, they must go back to the transfer market and their own youth training to find new candidates and train them.
In this case, Reus's stay in the team can be a reassurance to the fans and help the team stabilize its record.
Although his strength is not enough to help the team go further, it can at least ensure that the team does not get relegated.
On the contrary, if he leaves, if the new coach performs poorly and no one in the team can step up, Dortmund may be relegated to the German Second Division.
This was a result that Reus did not want to see at all, so after careful consideration, he decided to stay with the team for a year to help the team through the difficult times.
Wait until next year and decide whether to stay or go based on the new coach's performance and the growth of teammates.
Maybe the new coach they hired has the ability to turn decay into magic, just like Klopp did back then, leading a group of unfavored players to the top again?
If that were the case, he might not even need to leave Dortmund and could still have the opportunity to win honors and championships by staying with the team.
Of course, the probability of such a thing happening is too low. With Bayern's current lineup and strength, it is too difficult for Dortmund to overturn them.
After making the decision, Royce told Lin Quan his choice.
"Well, in that case, I can only wish you a happy new season without getting injured!"
Lin Quan was not surprised by Reus's choice. If he gave up Dortmund so easily, that would not be the Reus he knew.
"Don't worry, I'm not that easily injured. I'm going to be fully present this season!"
"Haha, stop bragging. Why don't you set a small goal first, like making 30 appearances and scoring 20 goals or something like that!"
"Damn, you really dare to say that, scoring 20 goals in 30 games, do you think scoring goals is as easy as eating and drinking water?"
"Eh, isn't that the case?"
After hearing Lin Quan's words, Royce was speechless for a moment.
Damn it, he got it right!
I really want to beat this guy to death! Reus's number of goals last year was only in the single digits, and in the 13-14 season, his best year, he only scored 16 goals, which is still quite far from 20 goals.
However, that year, in addition to scoring many goals, Reus also had 13 assists.
This means that he alone created 29 goals for Dortmund. Based on his 30 appearances, he averaged nearly one goal per game, which is an unbeatable efficiency.
However, compared with the three superstars in football, these data are not impressive enough.
Not to mention others, just the guy on the other end of the phone, he has scored 60+ goals in the league and Champions League for two consecutive seasons, averaging 1.5 goals per game, and often scores twice or even a hat trick.
Comparing yourself with others will only make you angry!
…
Reus did not come, and Guardiola was very regretful, so he could only buy B Silva from Monaco for 30 million euros.
B Silva, who is only 21 years old this year, has already demonstrated his talent in Ligue 1.
Guardiola saw his talent and bought him ahead of time, intending to train him personally.
Just as the transfers of major giants in the transfer market are in full swing, the new season of the Premier League has arrived as scheduled.
This season, the Premier League landscape has undergone tremendous changes.
In the past two seasons, with the strong rise of Manchester City, the Premier League has formed a pattern of one super team and many strong teams.
Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.
The former dominant Manchester United has already fallen from grace due to its poor performance in the past two years.
After Mourinho left, the Blues Chelsea were severely damaged and no longer as strong as they once were.
As for Arsenal, as they are obsessed with maintaining their top four position, no one thinks they are qualified to compete for the league title.
On the contrary, Liverpool has made considerable moves in the transfer market after inviting Klopp. After the entire team has undergone some reinforcements, it seems to be on the rise.
Given the strength gap between the major Premier League giants, all parties believed that the championship was in Manchester City's pocket when making predictions for the new season before the game. Other giants only have the ability to disrupt the situation and cannot compete with Manchester City in terms of hard power.
Of course, if Manchester City encounters a major change, it is not ruled out that other giants will be able to snatch the championship from the Blue Moon.
On August 8, the opening match of the 2015-2016 Premier League season kicked off.
The opening match is between Manchester United and Tottenham.
The game was very intense between the two sides. In the end, Mourinho's Manchester United was more skilled and won 1:0 at home, getting off to a good start.
Although Tottenham lost, Kane's performance on the field still won unanimous recognition from the outside world.
However, his appearance of fighting alone attracted criticism from the outside world against Tottenham after the game.
"If Levy was more generous and willing to spend money to buy a reliable helper for Kane, the result of this game might be completely different!"
"If Tottenham want to become a top club, they can't keep doing small things like this. They can either sell Kane or continue on their old path, buying low and selling high, supplying players to top clubs and making a profit from the difference.
Either increase investment, spend a high price in the transfer market to buy players to completely make up for the shortcomings of the global team, so that Tottenham's strength can reach the level of BIG5 and be promoted to the ranks of giants! This state of neither up nor down is the most disadvantageous to Tottenham! "
After seeing these reports, Levi wanted to say MMP to these reporters.
Did he not want to buy anyone? It was that damn Manchester City that snatched the person he wanted to buy!
He had originally prepared 30 million to buy Son Heung-min, but someone suddenly showed up and snatched his player away, disrupting his plans.
Tottenham started observing Son Heung-min as early as last year, and it took them a year to finally determine his talent and strength, so they were able to confidently prepare to make the move.
In the end, the player was kidnapped by Manchester City, making all their preparations go to waste.
Although he still had the money in his hand, he really didn't know who to buy for the time being.
After all, Tottenham is not as generous as Manchester City. 30 million is not a small amount of money for them. If the players they buy in a hurry are not good enough and fail to meet expectations, not only will their plan of rise be disrupted, but even the money they have saved with great difficulty will be wasted.
Therefore, it’s not that Levi is stingy and unwilling to spend money, but that he doesn’t know where to spend the money even if he has it.
Naturally, no one would consider Levy's troubles. The fans only saw that the club did nothing in the transfer market and delayed Kane, so they just cursed.
Manchester City's opponent in the first round is not very strong. It is West Bromwich Albion, which ranked 13th last season.
Facing such a team, Manchester City scored three goals in the first half, killing the suspense of the game.
And with this big victory, they successfully topped the list and started their journey to the top.
In this round of matches, Chelsea was tied 2:2 by Swansea at home, and Arsenal was defeated 2:0 by the Hammers at home.
Apart from the two Manchester City clubs, among the major giants, only Liverpool also won.
However, Liverpool's victory was not easy. It was not until the 86th minute of the game that Coutinho scored the crucial goal and defeated the opponent.
In this game, Liverpool players seemed a little uncomfortable with Klopp's tactics.
This made Klopp realize that he seemed to be acting too hastily and that he could not overturn the team's original tactics all at once, but had to proceed step by step, just like what Guardiola did at Manchester City last year.
It is worth mentioning that in this round of the game, Ranieri's Leicester City defeated their opponent 4:2 at home, and temporarily ranked second with a goal difference disadvantage, second only to Manchester City.
However, because the league has just started and Leicester City's opponents are not strong, the outside world did not think too much about it, and no one thought that Leicester City could win the Premier League championship.
Five days later, the second round of the league started.
Manchester United beat Aston Villa 1-0 away from home, achieving two consecutive victories.
This long-awaited winning streak brought countless Red Devils fans to tears.
It's daybreak!
Sure enough, the team’s record in the past two seasons was not good. It’s not because of Manchester United, but because of our coaching level.
If they had not chosen Moyes when Sir Alex Ferguson retired, but had immediately hired Mourinho, perhaps Manchester United would not have had such an embarrassing two seasons.
With these two victories, Mourinho's status in the hearts of Manchester United fans has skyrocketed.
The Red Devils fans who had originally doubted his coaching ability have now completely dispelled their concerns.
They now have only one thought in their minds: Please, Magic Bird, lead us back to the top and snatch the championship trophy that belongs to us from the damn Manchester City!
