A room in a manor-style hotel near Selhurst Park, London, England.
Glenn Murray, the main forward of Crystal Palace this season and the top scorer in the English Championship in 2012 and 2013, sat on the Italian-style sofa by the window, quietly looking at the tough guy in front of him, a middle-aged man with a short hair who he had only met a few times.
man.
Although this guy's hair is a little gray, he looks very strong and strong, giving people the feeling that it would be a waste if he didn't play "Prison Break".
Although they had only met a few times, Murray knew the name of the middle-aged man in front of him - Pearson!
Nigel Glasson Pearson!
Head coach of Fox City.
From the moment this guy appeared in this room, Murray knew the purpose of this unfamiliar guy.
Poach!
Dig their corner under the leadership of legendary Crystal Palace coach Tong Yitong!
The object is naturally yourself!
He is the top scorer in the English Championship in the 2012-2013 season!
Murray knows that from the moment he broke the record for the most goals in a single season in the British Championship, he has become a hot commodity in the transfer market!
In this summer, countless clubs will offer themselves olive branches and lure them with high salaries.
Of course, many of these clubs are Premier League teams.
There are even wealthy teams from the Premier League coming to introduce him.
Who told him to break the single-season scoring record in the British Championship? He is the only man to score 30 goals in a single season in the British Championship since 2004.
He deserves to be the strongest center forward in the history of the British Championship!
You will definitely receive a lot of attention.
More importantly, I am a native of England. This household registration makes me invincible.
The only pity is that I am older and will turn 30 in four months. This may affect my ability to join a wealthy club. But for a forward, around the age of 29 is his peak period. He is so
With strong physical fitness, the peak period must be at least three or four years away, right?
At this time, it is not a loss for the Premier League giants to introduce themselves.
Of course, Murray does have the intention to join a wealthy club, but he also knows that the chance is slim and slim.
I would be satisfied if I could play a starting position in a mid- to lower-tier Premier League team.
Therefore, he actually doesn't want to transfer that much, and staying at Crystal Palace is actually very good.
Although Crystal Palace is a newly promoted team, Crystal Palace is the winner of the English League Cup this season that just ended. In the new season, Crystal Palace is qualified to play in the Europa League.
Therefore, Crystal Palace is more suitable for me than ordinary Premier League teams.
I will be able to play in the Europa League next season.
This was something I had never expected before.
Now that he has a chance to play, how could he leave?
Moreover, Murray also knows very well that he is playing well in Crystal Palace now, his tactics are very suitable for him, and his cooperation with the Crystal Palace players is also very good.
Chang has a tacit understanding. He believes that he will still perform well at Crystal Palace in the new season.
So, why did he leave Crystal Palace?
Looking at Pearson in front of him, Murray thought to himself, "Why do you need to make this trip in vain?"
He thought Pearson was a little sick and rushed to the doctor!
Leicester City's performance this season is actually quite good, and their results are also good, finishing sixth in the English Championship. They have qualified for the promotion play-offs, and their opponent is Hull City, who is third in the league.
.
Unfortunately, they lost to Hull City with a total score of 2 to 3 in the two rounds and missed the chance of survival.
This irritated Leicester City and Pearson.
Pearson definitely wants to hit the Premier League in the new season, so he came to find himself, the top scorer in the Championship, to help them upgrade.
To be honest, the fact that Pearson can value him, Murray, shows that he still has some vision.
It's a pity that he is not that smart.
I, Murray, will play in the Premier League and Europa League next season. How could I go to Leicester City to play in the Championship?
Therefore, Murray said bluntly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Pearson, your trip was in vain. I will not join your Leicester City team, you should please come back!"
The refusal was straightforward, but Pearson had no intention of leaving.
Murray looked at Pearson with interest, wanting to see what tricks this guy could pull off?
Pearson said calmly, "Does Mr. Murray want to stay at Crystal Palace as a substitute?"
Murray frowned, Xinli felt a little angry, and secretly said, "Who are you cursing?"
I, Murray, am the top scorer in the Championship and the first super center to score 30 goals in the history of the Championship. Do you think it is possible for me to play as a substitute at Crystal Palace?
I am the main center forward of Crystal Palace!
It’s this season, it’s next season – it’s still!
Murray snorted coldly and said, "What do you mean?"
Pearson immediately exclaimed, "Hiss! Don't you know yet?"
Murray was full of questions and asked, "What should I know?"
Tsk tsk!
Pearson clicked his tongue twice and shook his head, making Murray angry.
Pearson then said, "Don't you know? Crystal Palace is looking for forwards in the transfer market. The ones currently linked with them include Fernando Torres, Diego Costa, Miroslav Klose, and Kava."
Ni and Lukaku and others!"
hiss!
Murray's pupils trembled and he took a deep breath!
He knew that if what Pearson said was true, then Crystal Palace definitely did not bring in these forwards to serve as substitutes for him.
Murray's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
No way, this soft-boiled man from China is so cruel, is he going to use all the birds, hide the rabbits, and kill the dogs?
Murray calmed down and said, "Who did you listen to?"
Pearson smiled softly and said, "It doesn't matter who you listen to, what matters is that this is the truth!"
Murray said coldly, "Why should I believe you?"
Pearson said calmly, "If you don't believe me, you can ask around. Campbell is busy with this matter now. It's easy to ask about it!"
After hearing this, Murray had no doubts at all.
Because he knew that Pearson would not deceive himself by fabricating a lie that could be easily exposed.
It seems that Crystal Palace is really looking for a powerful and well-known forward.
The purpose of Crystal Palace introducing these people is self-evident.
My situation is very embarrassing. .??.
Either accept the fate of being a substitute, or just transfer and leave.
Playing as a substitute?
Impossible! I am the number one center forward in the history of the British Championship. How could I be a substitute for someone else?
Then there is only one choice left for him!
That's transfer leave.
Murray immediately looked up at Pearson and thought to himself, "This guy is well prepared!"
Pearson stared at him with a smile on his face, his confident look not concealed at all. This made Murray feel a little uncomfortable.
Murray said calmly, "Even if Crystal Palace doesn't have a place for me, it's impossible for me to go to Fox City. Many Premier League teams are contacting my agent now, and some of them have promised me a starting position. So,
You’re still traveling in vain!”
Pearson raised his brows, pondered for a moment and said, "Glenn, I come here with great sincerity. And you should be able to see the strength of our Leicester City. We will definitely be promoted to the Premier League next season. Don't you think so?"
Don’t you want to defend the title of top scorer in the Championship and become a legend in the history of the Championship?”
Murray snorted in his heart, and then said, "No, I want to play in the Premier League!"
Yes, Murray is not young anymore and he is not willing to waste time in the lower leagues. If he has the opportunity to play in the Premier League, he must seize it.
So, to Leicester City?
impossible!
Pearson tried to persuade Murray many times and offered high salary inducements, but all failed.
Pearson sighed, and then said, "Think about it carefully, our door to Leicester City will always be open to you!"
After saying that, Pearson left.
Looking at Pearson's leaving figure, Murray curled his lips slightly and said, "No matter how much I think about it, I will not go to Leicester City. However, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay at Crystal Palace. I have to ask my agent to go to the Premier League as soon as possible."
I’ll just be the next one!”
Then, he picked up the phone and dialed his agent's number.
Meanwhile, in a five-star hotel in Manchester.<
br>
Pogba sat in front of Raiona, lowering his head in thought.
Raiola looked anxious, staring at Pogba closely. After a while, he asked, "Have you not thought about it yet, Paul? Juventus has been urging a lot."
It’s happened once, and there’s no way I can delay it any longer. You have to give me a letter of approval whether you want to go or not.”
This is indeed the case. Juventus has urged me many times and is getting a little impatient.
Although Juventus has not yet issued an ultimatum, there is still time to delay. But Raiola is not ready to delay any longer. He decided to put pressure on Pogba and let him make the decision to leave Crystal Palace and transfer to Juventus as soon as possible.
decision.
That's Juventus, and few people can refuse.
Pogba pondered for a long time, still undecided.
To be honest, on the one hand, he yearns for the giant Juventus. He wants to go to the giant club to prove to Manchester United and Ferguson that Pogba can play the main role in the top giants. You, Manchester United, are blind. On the other hand, he doesn't want to leave Crystal Palace.
, I think it would be good to stay at Crystal Palace and accumulate experience at this stage.
More importantly, he thinks coach Tong Yi is very good, and he can achieve amazing results playing under Tong Yi.
So very confused.
Originally, when he came to Manchester this time, he wanted to watch Ferguson's last home game and come to talk to Tong Yi about the transfer. He also wanted to hear Tong Yi's opinion.
It's a pity that he didn't have a ticket, so he couldn't attend the game.
Moreover, he did not find Tong Yi in Manchester, so naturally he had no chance to talk to Tong Yi about this matter.
Originally, he himself was not very anxious.
It's actually okay to wait a little longer.
But he didn't expect that Juventus would be so anxious? Do they want me to make a choice so soon?
Does Juventus really think so highly of itself?
If this is the case, why were they not willing to give themselves some guarantee of playing time last season? If they had given it at that time, wouldn't they be from Juventus now?
To be honest, Pogba is still a little angry at Juventus.
This is also a point that Pogba struggles with.
But, to be honest, the attraction of wealthy families is really too great.
He must pull out the thorn that the Manchester United people planted in his heart with his own hands, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable.
Raiola sighed and said, "Paul, I know it is difficult to make a choice. But now that the time has come, you have to give me a stage. Whether you go or not go, you have to give me a stage."
That’s the answer.”
Raiola urged again, applying pressure.
Seeing Pogba's anxious look, Raiola said seemingly unintentionally, "Actually, Juventus is still very sincere!"
Hearing this, Pogba suddenly gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
good!
