Chapter 438 New Contract

Manchester United, lacking Shearer and Keane, still crushed Newcastle in the FA Cup final and won the second trophy of the season.

The result of the game surprised the media. Everyone thought that Manchester United had a high probability of winning, and Newcastle was not a vegetarian.

This team built by buying, buying, buying, and buying has shown strong competitiveness in the first season, and once led Manchester United in the league by 12 points.

After that season, the club substantially updated the lineup, but the team lost its competitiveness instead.

If you follow the standard of a game to determine the outcome, everyone thinks that even if Newcastle loses, they have to fight against Manchester United. Manchester United has to fight their opponents to win the game.

Unexpectedly, Manchester United controlled Newcastle to death and gave their opponents almost no chance.

Everyone found that the Manchester United team was so scary. The pass control between the midfielders has basically reached the top level of the Premier League, and the stability is very strong.

Especially with a ball transfer master like Beckham, the Newcastle players hit the cotton with their fists and are always exhausted, but they are still passed to uncomfortable places by their opponents.

Lineker believes that Manchester United's performance on the field is a chemical change, which is a concrete performance after a high-confrontation season.

Manchester United was sublimated in the victory over Tottenham, as if after that thrilling game, everyone was up.

They found the feeling, and then extended this feeling to the FA Cup final, and the result was still useful, which further strengthened the confidence of the entire team.

Through the performance of the two games, Beckham has basically changed from a technical core to the spiritual leader of the team.

The "Sun" pointed out after the FA Cup that Manchester United players' trust in Beckham has increased significantly after winning the league. This change in mentality made Beckham naturally become the core of pass control.

"He carried the game on his shoulders and promised to lead the team to win the game, and he did. Then came the FA Cup final, the teammates trusted him unconditionally, and then the team lifted the trophy. It took David only two games to completely change the state of the team."

The old German football magazine "Kicker" asserted that if a player other than Beckham wins the European Ballon d'Or, this person will definitely be questioned.

Among the top three players in the European Ballon d'Or Awards in 98, Zidane's Juventus team ended the season in 8th place in Serie A, a proper mid-range team.

In the dialogue between Manchester United and Juventus, Zidane was finally defeated, which made it a small probability event for him to win the European Ballon d'Or.

Compared with Zidane, "Alien" Ronaldo's performance is also not convincing. His Inter Milan ranked 10th in the season, even worse than Juventus.

He helped Inter Milan win the UEFA Cup this season, but this trophy is not the same as the Champions League.

The voices of these two people are probably not as good as Shearer. England's top center has scored 50 goals in a season, and he praised the scoring machine for nothing wrong.

Manchester United has become a double champion, and many people believe that even if they lose to Arsenal in the Champions League, Beckham still has a high probability of winning the Ballon d'Or.

Compared with the Ballon d'Or, the situation of the World Footballer is a bit more complicated.

The European Cup will not start until July tomorrow. There are no major events in Europe this year, and the Copa America will be held this summer, which means that South American players can get an extra point.

This is very beneficial to Ronaldo. As we all know, this boy who likes to show his big teeth and giggles is especially popular with the head coaches. Many people think that his enemy is only injured. As long as he can stay healthy, no defensive player can defend him by himself.

If the Brazil team wins the America's Cup, the probability of Ronaldo winning the Footballer of the Year will be higher.

But no matter what, Beckham's status this season can be regarded as standing.

But whoever looks back on this season can't avoid Manchester United.

No year in European football would be complete without mentioning Manchester United.

Manchester United had many highlights this year. They first won the league trophy with an unbeaten record, and then won the FA Cup.

Don't forget that they also established themselves as the best club in the world with a convincing victory over the Copa Libertadores champion Vasco da Gama in the previous Toyota Cup.

If you talk about Manchester United, then Beckham is an unavoidable person.

His performance has faintly made people see a world-class star who is heading towards the pinnacle of his career.

If anyone wants to surpass him in the selection of the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or, he must show a convincing performance to hope to compete.

The old German magazine "Kicker" predicts that Beckham's worth has reached 3200 million US dollars, which is close to Denilson, who is currently the most valuable.

"Kicker" has been established for many years. This newspaper is regarded as an authoritative media in Europe. The price they list is basically the same.

Of course, judging from the current market situation of Beckham, 3200 million US dollars is just a low price. If he is willing to leave, the transfer price will probably go straight to 4000 million US dollars, which is not a small number.

However, Beckham did not drift away. He knew that this kind of performance of personal popularity could not last forever.

The value in the transfer market is only a possibility. If you want to keep the market going well, you have to keep maintaining a high level, and it is best to continue to improve.

He believes that his comprehensive strength will not only stop at 24 years old, this age is just the beginning of a player's peak period, and now is not the time to secretly rejoice.

Beckham has a good mentality, but the members of the board of directors are a little bit overwhelmed. They urged Ferguson to negotiate a contract extension with his own star as soon as possible.

After this season, Beckham only has three years left on his contract, which is not a safe time.

According to common sense, the club will only start negotiations when there are 2 years left in the player's contract. Too frequent renewal work will definitely increase the club's wages. Many players will even get a new contract when there is only 1 years left in the contract.

But for United, it will be reassuring to match Beckham's treatment with his performances.

It has become public news that Real Madrid and Juventus want to win the heartthrobs. Both clubs are European giants and they are not short of money. If they are determined to buy Beckham, the board of directors of Manchester United will really feel guilty. After all, the status of the world is not as good as these two old clubs.

So the board of directors entrusted Ferguson and Beckham to reach a contract extension, and it must be fast. They asked the Manchester United coach to complete this work before the start of the Champions League final.

Ferguson took the order to leave cursingly, and offered Beckham a new contract with a weekly salary of 8 pounds the next day, and other benefits had to be improved a lot.

In addition, the club pays Beckham 10 a week as an image endorsement fee. Now as to how much Beckham's peripheral products are sold, not only are they not overstocked, but they are often out of stock.

Beckham signed his name on the contract without hesitation, and this contract fully matches his status in the world.
