Having successfully summoned the divine, his peak physical condition and accumulated rich match experience made him appear invincible.
Back in the World Cup, Cao Baiming had personally experienced how terrifying the returning alien Ronaldo was at his peak.
Even though Tang Guo had narrowly defeated the Samba army in the semi-finals, Ronaldo's performance was absolutely outstanding. He scored three goals, a hat-trick despite losing the match.
His unguardable stepovers and explosive speed were still present, and his intelligence for scoring was far superior to others. Ronaldo was the most ruthless goal-scoring machine on the front line.
That noon, Ronaldo arrived in Manchester. After a hasty lunch, he went to the club.
Cao Baiming and a group of executives had been waiting at the club for a long time. The first to arrive was Ronaldo's new agent, Mendes.
Seeing him approach, Cao Baiming instantly foresaw the future, and the negotiations today would be very smooth.
In fact, Ronaldo had already made up his mind. The only reason he took this step was the constant persuasion of his agent, Mendes.
He felt that such good treatment was somewhat unreliable and he couldn't even believe it. However, after reading these two news articles, even his thoughts changed.
Upon arrival, after not much other discussion, the signing ceremony was completed.
Ronaldo was a completely free agent. Although there were some agreements with Huang Ma before, they were all verbal. Frankly speaking, breaking them now was just a formality.
It might draw the scorn of some extreme Real Madrid fans, but what did that matter to Ronaldo now? He wouldn't pay any attention to those fans.
If he had truly made up his mind, he would definitely have officially signed with the team. In fact, his attitude had long been clear, but it was the fans who liked to fantasize who were unwilling to believe such a fact.
Today, Ronaldo, his agent, and others completed the signing in this room, and everyone was very pleased.
A keen fan captured a photo of Ronaldo disembarking from the plane. His appearance in Manchester was somewhat peculiar.
At this time, this news was not widely known. A fan felt something was amiss and uploaded the photo online. To his surprise, within just one hour, this news had exploded across the internet.
He was just an ordinary fan with an ordinary account, with only a dozen followers, all of whom were people he knew.
He never expected all of this, nor did he expect the news to spread so quickly.
Hearing the constant notification sounds from his phone, he suddenly felt the gravity of the situation. The comments under this post were becoming increasingly terrifying.
Ronaldo's signing had just been officially completed. It was only at this moment that Cao Baiming realized that this matter had long been speculated by the outside world.
The fans were completely ecstatic. Even though they had prepared themselves mentally, they were still shocked by this news.
This was the alien Ronaldo! Even if Manchester United was crazy, and Cao Baiming was crazy, they never expected it to reach such a point!!!
Since Ronaldo himself had flown to Manchester, fans would naturally think of Manchester United first.
After all, there were only two notable teams in Manchester city: Manchester City and Manchester United. A simple comparison would show that Ronaldo was more likely to negotiate with Manchester United.
Based on past news, Manchester City and Ronaldo had no connection whatsoever. Perhaps Real Madrid had some, but Manchester United was a different story. He had been constantly subverting everyone's imagination recently. Anything that was incomprehensible could be attributed to him, and it would likely be accurate.
Fans who had spread rumors in the past now felt a sense of accomplishment as their rumors came true. They never expected that the boasts they casually made back then were now being realized one by one by Cao Baiming!
Ronaldo completed the contract signing. Unlike other players, he was prepared to leave immediately and did not intend to participate in team trials today.
The team, of course, fully agreed to this request and would not raise any objections.
However, at this moment, a large crowd of fans had gathered outside the stadium. They had learned of the news in advance and had come to this place.
They had waited for a long time, hoping for a chance to get close to their idol, or even take a photo.
Many fans who arrived here thought they would be the only ones with such an idea, but upon arrival, they discovered it was already a sea of people. At least a thousand people shared the same thought as them, or had thought of it even earlier.
"This is too crazy!" Ronaldo said, looking out the window in surprise.
Cao Baiming smiled faintly. Those words were coming from Ronaldo himself.
The fans below were loudly shouting Ronaldo's name, but another voice could also be heard – they were shouting Cao Baiming's name!
Such a scene had never been witnessed before. No team owner had ever been so welcomed.
The signing ceremony today only involved Ronaldo. Today's work was considered a great success, and everything ended early.
The wish to finish work early was finally realized. However, this was only for today; tomorrow would be different, as a large batch of orders was to be settled.
The dream team built by Cao Baiming was only one step away from completion. Once this step was taken, everything would be ready for the final season.
The fans knew that Cao Baiming would not disappoint them, because such a situation had never happened before.
Taking a deep breath, Ronaldo walked out of the room.
He was not unaccustomed to facing such a scene. After all, wasn't he a superstar? Back in Tang Guo, he had even endorsed throat lozenges!
With this thought, Ronaldo confidently walked towards the exit!
