Chapter 590 Twenty-Second Birthday Gift

"Top scorer?"

"I'm not Cristiano, so I care about the top scorer."

Dong Fangzhuo looked at the newspaper and was not as excited as Sir Alex Ferguson said. Being able to help the team win is the most important thing. You can ask Henry whether he wanted to be the top scorer in the Premier League last year or the league championship. It's definitely the latter.

But his scoring pace did not stop.

On December 27, 2006, Manchester United beat Wigan 3:1, Dong Fangzhuo scored 1 goal, the 16th goal.

On December 30, 2006, Manchester United defeated Reading 3:2, Dong Fangzhuo scored another goal, the 17th goal.

On January 2, 2001, Newcastle 2:2 Manchester United, Dong Fangzhuo scored the 18th goal in three consecutive rounds.

Next came the FA Cup on January 7. Manchester United faced Aston Villa 2:1. Dong Fangzhuo took a rest and new aid Larsson came on as a substitute, but Luo and Rooney took the lead in settling the battle.

In the League Cup semi-finals, Dong Fangzhuo played again. Manchester United 2-0 Everton away, Dong Fangzhuo scored twice.

Back at home in the league, Manchester United beat Aston Villa again 3:1. Dong Fangzhuo scored another goal, his 19th in the league.

"It's terrible. Dong's state is simply unstoppable. Last season, he scored in nine consecutive games at the beginning of the season, and now he has scored 6 goals in 5 consecutive games. In this state, he will meet Arsenal, Wenger and his goals. The team will tremble!"

"Arsenal has withdrawn from the championship competition early, but they are definitely not willing to watch Manchester United ascend to the championship. They will snipe Manchester United in their new home stadium."

On the day of the trip to the Emirates Stadium, news came from China. At 10 a.m. on January 23, Beijing time, Shanghai Shenhua Club and PSV Eindhoven finally reached an agreement on Sun Xiang's overseas study through the efforts of many parties. In the end, Shenhua Club graciously accepted the Dutch side's offer of 150,000 euros to join on loan. The loan period is from January 23 to June 30, and a series of legal procedures will follow.

"Finally, another one has gone out." Dong Fangzhuo said with emotion as he watched the domestic news. Sun Xiang originally wanted to go to Eindhoven, but he didn't expect the process to be so difficult.

Shenhua's initial intention was that it did not agree with Sun Xiang's "loan first and then transfer" approach to Eindhoven this season, and could only accept a direct transfer of 1.2 million euros. However, due to the downturn in the global player transfer market, it is difficult for a team like PSV to participate in the Champions League to immediately pay 120 euros to buy out a Chinese national team member.

Nowadays, the average South American football player is less than 500,000 euros, and African players are even cheaper.

After learning of this situation, the Chinese Football Association personally came forward to hope that Shanghai Shenhua Club would allow Sun Xiang to go to Eindhoven for training. After repeated discussions, Shenhua Club agreed that Sun Xiang would go to Europe to study and make a career. But when it comes to the transfer fee, Shenhua Club just hopes to appear in the form of a transfer, and this point is exactly different from the other party's opinion. Later, after a person from the Football Association who was familiar with the PSV club came forward to mediate, Shenhua Club finally accepted the price of 150,000 euros.

What is the concept of 150,000 euros? It is not enough for Dong Fangzhuo's weekly salary of 130,000 pounds...

Sun Xiang's agent Roman also said that Eindhoven is likely to rent Sun Xiang first and then examine Sun Xiang's condition. If it meets the team's needs, Eindhoven will buy Sun Xiang. The current agreement reached between Shenhua and Eindhoven is to rent 24-year-old Sun Xiang for 150,000 euros. After the loan is over, if the transfer is completed, Shenhua will give the club another 1 million euros in transfer fees.

The Eredivisie is not as fast-paced and physically demanding as the Premier League and La Liga, nor is it like Serie A where defense is a destiny and the pressure on the defense is high. Romario and Ronaldo both became famous in the Eredivisie. They value the relative lack of utilitarianism in this league. Each team's style of play is also open and aboveboard. They regard offense as their destiny, but their defense is also clean and tidy. Players are like this In the league, pure football is played, and there are generally no injuries. And players like Basten and Ronaldo were involved in the Eredivisie, but suffered constant injuries after leaving the Eredivisie. Basten also retired due to injuries.

In such a league, a player with excellent footwork and awareness like Sun Xiang can be said to have a lot of room to display his talents. In addition, Sun Xiang is still young and there is still a lot of room for improvement in such a high-level league. At the same time, since PSV is a giant in the Eredivisie and has the opportunity to participate in the Champions League almost every year, once Sun Xiang can gain a foothold in the team, becoming the third Asian player to play in the Champions League is no longer just a dream.

But this day was not just that for Dong Fangzhuo. At noon, when Dong Fangzhuo boarded the bus to London, his agent Mendes sent him an even more exciting message.

"Chinese player Chen Tao officially joined the Belgian club Anderlecht for 1.6 million euros, and Feng Xiaoting joined Schalke 04 for 2 million euros."

"Man, this is my 22nd birthday present to you."

"..." When Dong Fangzhuo received this piece of information one after another, he could no longer contain his excitement. On the same day, three players actually stayed abroad, especially Mendes who personally facilitated the transfers of Chen Tao and Feng Xiaoting.

"Thank you. I really can't wait to be by your side and ask you how you did it?"

After a long time, Mendes replied with a message: "With your influence in the national team and club, and Nike's idea of ​​building a 'Dragon Team', I reached a relevant sponsorship agreement with Nike. Of course, There was pressure from China to study abroad, which prompted the Football Association to intervene and successfully complete the transfer."

Ding,

Ding,

Ding,

Dong Fangzhuo opened QQ, only to find an explosion of information...

The successful transfers of Chen Tao and Feng Xiaoting made other members of the National Youth, National Olympics and National Team uneasy.

"Zhao Xuri, you will get old if you don't go abroad."

"There is obviously a way for you, why do you refuse? Do you really not regret it?"

In the QQ group, everyone is trying to persuade Zhao Xuri. Everyone wanted to transfer abroad, but Zhao Xuri didn't.

"You're such a grown-up person, and you just want to make money in China? Does your mother really agree with your idea?"

"I can't stand it, I don't know what you think!"

"You have the weirdest ideas!"

Dong Fangzhuo just silently watched their discussion in the group and did not say anything. Instead, he sent a text message to Mendes asking about Zhao Xuri.

He hadn't heard Zhao Xuri talk about the transfer.

"Zhao? That's it. I originally contacted the English Championship team Southampton, but Zhao refused."

"Oh my god, Southampton? Zhao Xuri is really seeking death this time. How promising is this team?" Dong Fangzhuo was very annoyed. After knowing that the club Mendes contacted was Southampton, he felt that he was right I need to talk to Zhao Xuri...
