Santa Clara, California, USA.

At 14:00 on July 23, local time, a focus battle in the North American division of the International Champions Cup was launched between the Red Devils Manchester United and the Galaxy Fleet Real Madrid.

This is United's second game in the International Champions Cup. Three days ago, they beat rivals Manchester City 2-0 in Houston, winning their second overseas Manchester derby victory.

In this game, both sides sent their main lineups in the first half, and the result was a 1:1 battle. In the second half, the two sides rotated players in a large area, and both played on the bench.

Then the result was a bit eye-catching: Manchester United scored 3 goals from the bench, while Real Madrid scored 0 goals in the second half!

As a result, Manchester United beat Real Madrid 4:1 and won two consecutive victories in the International Champions Cup. With the advantage of goal difference, they overwhelmed another giant team, Barcelona, ​​and ranked first in the group standings.

Manchester United's next game will be at FedEx Field in Washington, but there is plenty of time for transition, so this night, Ye Su gave the players a holiday so that they can enjoy the scenery of San Francisco.

After all, many players in this Manchester United team have never been to San Francisco.

The players were very happy, and soon they met in twos and threes and left the hotel where Manchester United stayed.

In the crowd, De Gea, wearing a peaked cap and black super sunglasses, quietly walked out of the hotel, got into a Lincoln parked outside, and went straight to the Tide Hotel, where his agent Mendes had already sat. Waiting for him in the car.

"They also just arrived today, and they made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening. There are quite a lot of people at the Chaoshui Hotel, so you have to be careful not to be recognized." Mendes said with a smile.

De Gea smiled, feeling a little irritated in his heart, a bit like playing James Bond.

The reason why De Gea appeared here was to attend the appointment of Real Madrid Chairman Florentino.

After a moment of silence, De Gea asked anxiously: "Can they really convince Manchester United?"

Mendes shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, you can ask yourself when you get the time."

De Gea understands that Florentino has always been impeccable in his work, and I am afraid he will not reveal too much about many things.

………………

If that special someone thinks there's nothing more romantic than being on the water,

Well, there's no hotel more romantic than the Tidewater Hotel. The hotel is located on the San Francisco Bay, and every room has breathtaking views of the bay, downtown San Francisco, Alcatraz, Angel Island, and the Marin. Not just every breathtaking sunrise over the water you think you can touch, the ferry to San Francisco is right outside your door, taking you to Pier 39, the Embarcadero, and all that San Francisco has to offer.

The person in charge of receiving De Gea was a bald Spanish middle-aged man who claimed to be Manuel Redondo, but he obviously had nothing to do with Real Madrid's former legendary midfielder Redondo.

A group of people came to the living room on the second floor, and De Gea was surprised to find that there were still many people in the living room. And the first thing he saw was Florentino, Zidane and Valdano.

"Hey, David, welcome." Florentino still looked familiar to De Gea. His clothes were neat and tidy, and even his hair was neatly combed.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Florentino." De Gea met Florentino with a smile.

Florentino took De Gea's hand enthusiastically and introduced his friends, Fernandez Tabias, De Blas, Miguel Padesa, Zidane and Valdano.

………………

As soon as they met, they exchanged polite greetings, and under the greeting of Florentino, everyone sat down politely with each other.

Florentino is not the kind of person who likes to be twisted and twisted, so he asked straight to the point about the renewal of De Gea's contract with Manchester United, mainly concerned about the extent to which the transfer has progressed.

Mendes came forward on behalf of De Gea, saying that the contract renewal was only halfway through. Manchester United rejected their contract renewal conditions, and the negotiations ran aground.

This obviously made Florentino and others breathe a sigh of relief, because they were very worried that De Gea had completed the contract extension with Manchester United. If that was the case, Florentino would be powerless.

"Frankly speaking, for a superstar like you, whether it is the competitive value on the court or the commercial value off the court, it is far from being measured by money. I have always believed that in Manchester United, Your value is far underestimated." Florentino put a top hat on De Gea as soon as he came up, but he didn't start from the aspects of feelings, feelings, etc., but went straight to the point He told De Gea that in this world, there is only one team that can fully tap all his potential value and let him shine to the fullest, and that is the Galaxy battleship he formed.

There is no basis for his words. In order to make his words more convincing, Florentino also explained his thoughts and ideas to De Gea in detail. For example, he wants to make superstars younger, surpass He doesn't want any superstars of a certain age. He hopes to allow Real Madrid to have the best stars in the world in every position, and then form a super superstar team.

………………

Finally, Florentino said to De Gea: "In my plan, you will be the last barrier in this superstar team! And you, born to play for Real Madrid, Bernabeu will be your last Great stage!"

De Gea had to admire in his heart, the blueprint planned by Florentino was indeed very attractive and full of temptation, because who wouldn't want to be the head star in such a team?

But he is also very clear that it will not be easy for Florentino to achieve all this. But if it's easy, it's not surprising.

Throughout the years that Florentino has been in charge of Real Madrid, his reputation in European football is excellent, and he has always kept his word and kept his word, so De Gea has no doubt that he This blueprint and the sincerity behind it.

Soon everyone talked about another sensitive topic, that is De Gea's personal treatment. Florentino personally promised to De Gea that Real Madrid will definitely give De Gea the salary that is most worthy of his identity and strength, making him the highest paid goalkeeper in the world, and will never let him suffer.

De Gea smiled and said: "Florentino, thank you very much for your favor for me all the time. I am also very happy to play in Real Madrid, but I have one last question."

Florentino and his team members all laughed after hearing this, and were obviously secretly relieved.

Florentino looked at De Gea, nodded slightly and said, "Say it."

"Manchester United..." De Gea hesitated to speak.

"We will help you solve it." Of course, Florentino knew what De Gea was thinking, and said confidently.

De Gea was taken aback and asked, "Is there a way?"

Florentino said affirmatively: "We will definitely convince Manchester United's management."

Although I don't know what Florentino can do, but since he said it can be done, De Gea must believe him. With Florentino's status in European football, he will not talk nonsense, otherwise, what is the difference between him and Calderon?

So, De Gea nodded and said: "Okay, then I have no problem."

………………

Ye Su didn't know that, just after he announced that he would give the Manchester United players a one-night leave, De Gea secretly ran to meet the Real Madrid management.

The next morning, the Manchester United team boarded the plane and headed to Washington for the final game of the International Champions Cup. They will then fly back to the UK to prepare for the upcoming season.

Just on August 6, the opening game of the new season, that is, the Community Shield game, will be held at the new Wembley Stadium. Last season's Premier League champion Manchester United will face last season's FA Cup champion Arsenal.

At FedEx Field in Washington, Manchester United and Barcelona engaged in a pitched battle.

This is Ye Su's second match against Barcelona after taking charge of Manchester United.

In the European Super Cup two years ago, Manchester United, who was the champion of the Europa League at the time, played a game against Barcelona.

In that goal battle, Manchester United narrowly beat Cosmos 5:4 and won the UEFA Super Cup.

Two years later, the two sides met again, and the situation has changed a lot.

Manchester United's main lineup, which seemed a little immature at the beginning, has now entered the peak of its career. This Manchester United team has really reached its peak.

On the other hand, Barcelona, ​​apart from MSN is still strong, their once invincible European midfielder Habaibu's combination has obviously degenerated. After Harvey left and Iniesta got old, there was only one Busquets left who was still at the top level, but the actor is also 29 years old and no longer young. Although Barcelona has vigorously signed in midfield, its strength has undoubtedly dropped a lot.

In this game, in the first half, when both sides sent the main lineup, they played evenly. Neymar scored the first goal for Barcelona in the 31st minute of the game, leading Manchester United. However, it took less than 10 minutes for Manchester United to equalize the score with a goal from Vardy.

In the second half, the two sides sent substitute lineups to play, and the gap in the thickness of the bench was undoubtedly highlighted again. Barcelona was no longer able to compete with Manchester United and conceded two goals in a row. In the final game, the former Cosmos team lost with a score of 1:3.

And Manchester United, which has won three consecutive victories, also successfully won the International Champions Cup in the North American Division.

The consecutive victories also allowed Manchester United to harvest a wave of fans in the American continent, which was once regarded as a football desert. More and more American fans are falling in love with the mighty Manchester United and their playing style of attacking like a gust of wind and defending like a mountain.
