Chapter 671 Salary and ambition
Carrington Training Base
Manchester United players drove away after taking a shower after afternoon training, but Manchester United's number one star Rooney did not leave, but turned to Manchester United coach Ferguson's office.
When Rooney came in, Ferguson was watching the Champions League match between Inter Milan and Barcelona in the office.
Ferguson was not surprised at all when he saw Rooney because he was the one who kept Rooney. "Wayne, tell me why he refused to renew the contract?"
Rooney scratched her head. Even when facing her boss Glazer, he dared to say, "You go and ask my agent Stratford." But to Ferguson, Rooney could only say: "Boss,
Stratford hopes that I will renew my contract after the Champions League final.”
"Is there any difference?" Ferguson stared at Rooney with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through his heart.
Rooney honestly said: "Because there are some things I don't want to say before the Champions League final."
Ferguson touched his rosacea, "Can you tell me?"
Rooney said: "Yes, it's just my idea. I don't think we have dominance anymore because we didn't buy better players in the transfer market. Our competitiveness has been declining. Now we have lost the league championship and the FA Cup. If we lose to Inter Milan in the Champions League final, we will only win a League Cup championship that is not as good as a loser. This is not the Manchester United I want. I hope the team can bring in more capable players and win more trophies."
After listening to Rooney patiently, Ferguson slapped the table and said angrily: "We reached the Champions League final and are one of the two best teams in Europe. We fought for the championship with Chelsea in the last round. You actually said that such a team is declining? Wayne, what kind of ecstasy has Stratford given you? You actually said such a bastard."
Rooney said without fear: "Boss, I want Manchester United to be the best one, the League Cup champion cannot satisfy me."
Ferguson sneered: "You are so optimistic about our defeated players last season, or do you look down on Manchester United so much?"
Rooney said stubbornly: "I'm telling the truth. Our strength is indeed not as good as Inter Milan now."
Ferguson tapped the table with his finger, his tone became calm, and he said, "Tell me, Wayne, there are no outsiders here. Do you think the club has low renewal conditions for you?"
Rooney couldn't adapt to Ferguson's changes. He touched his forehead, as if his mind was not enough, and said, "150,000 pounds is much more than my original 90,000 pounds, but Barack has already earned 130,000 pounds a week. Stratford thinks I should follow Ronaldo."
He actually wanted the highest salary in the world? Ferguson was so angry that he almost jumped up. He barely controlled his anger and said: "Wayne, we are Manchester United, not Real Madrid. The team is in debt of 700 million pounds. The boss just issued 500 million corporate bonds four months ago. Do you think it might give you the world's first annual salary?"
Rooney said: "I'm not saying I have to surpass Ronaldo, but the weekly salary of £150,000 is too small."
Ferguson sneered: "I thought the team's configuration was not worthy of your ambition, but it turned out that the salary was not worthy of your ambition."
Rooney hurriedly said: "No, boss, the team's configuration is also very important. I hope we will buy more good stars in the summer transfer instead of using the money sold to Ronaldo to pay off the debt."
Ferguson's face sank, "Wayne, you don't need to worry about what the club uses for funds, you just need to do your job well. It doesn't matter how much we invest in the transfer market. What matters is how we perform and whether we are a strong contender for the championship."
Rooney stopped talking.
Ferguson said: "Wayne, the Champions League final has dropped to the point. Don't say anything that affects the morale of the army before the big game, and don't let your bastard agent say, if you have anything dissatisfaction, then talk to David Jill, talk to Glazer, and talk to the end of the Champions League final. Don't make a decision to refuse to renew the contract at this time, and don't let your agent say it out. Do you understand? Wayne."
In the end, Ferguson has become terrified. In Ferguson's mind, Ronaldo is the best player in the world, and of course he can get the highest annual salary in the world, but Roony can only be regarded as the best player in Manchester United. He can get the highest annual salary in Manchester United. He is very dissatisfied with Rooney's Lions, but he believes that this is all instigated by Rooney's agent Stretford. If possible, Ferguson really wants to change Rooney's agent, such as Mendes.
“Yes, boss.”
Rooney left with resentment because he felt that his request was not too much. Shouldn't the team buy people? He has been paying 90,000 pounds a weekly salary for so long, shouldn't he give more compensation?
Shortly after Rooney left, Manchester United eO David Jill came.
"Have you talked to Rooney?"
When Jill saw Ferguson, he couldn't wait to ask, Rooney's contract renewal is very important to Manchester United. Now Manchester United is in high debt and cannot buy superstars. If Rooney leaves again, then Manchester United will be in danger.
"It's been talked about." Ferguson peeled a piece of chewing gum and put it in his mouth to relax.
"What did Rooney say?"
"Roonie is not satisfied with the salary provided by the team. He also hopes that the team will sign up strongly. I can see that although Rooney also has requirements in this regard, it is mainly instigated by his agent Stretford."
"The weekly salary of 150,000 pounds is quite large, similar to Messi, and the annual salary given to Xiaodong by Inter Milan is much higher. Can he be better than Messi and Gao Xiaodong?" Jill said fussfully.
Ferguson frowned and said, "The salary seems to be negotiable, but Rooney is very dissatisfied with buying people in the team, which is difficult to deal with."
Gill said: "Don't he know the team's dilemma? After Christmas, fans launched a green gold revolution and wanted to crowdfund and buy Manchester United."
Ferguson said bluntly: "Players don't think about the problem from the perspective of the boss. All they want is victory and championship."
Jill said dissatisfiedly: "Glazer's acquisition is a tragedy. If we don't sell Ronaldo in the past few years and buy Gao Xiaodong and Benzema, we can establish a Manchester United dynasty."
Ferguson said: "Don't cry about the spilled milk. At least the boss Glazer hasn't interfered with us in the transfer. We buy whoever we want."
Gill said: "With that transfer budget, who can we buy?"
Ferguson said indifferently: "Just keep Rooney and find a suitable successor for Scholes. We have good configurations in other positions and don't need to spend too much money."
