Chapter 471: Mansour

Old Trafford became a sea of joy as United won the title unbeaten (29 wins, six draws) and broke their own Premier League points record (93-94 with 92 points, although there were 22 teams in the Premier League at the time and 42 games played throughout the season). In fact, the highest average points per game was scored by Manchester United in the 1999-2000 season, when they won the title with 91 points from 38 league games, 18 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal), and that was with three league games remaining. By now, Manchester United is definitely still likely to break this record further, and may even reach a single season to break 100 points. In the next three games, as long as they get two wins, one draw or three wins, they can achieve it.

United's three remaining opponents are Blackburn, Chelsea and Villa. All three opponents are basically the kind of teams that have nothing to ask for.

Ranieri's Chelsea are not too strong, even if Roman Abramovich spent more than 100 million pounds last summer. Of course, they are also in a good position now, firmly in third place. Behind them is Newcastle United. However, Newcastle United have no hope of overtaking Chelsea, as they are still a full 18 points ahead of Newcastle United with only three games left in the league (Chelsea in third have 72 points, compared to Liverpool's 54).

Villa, on the other hand, have a bit to pursue, sitting fifth in the table with 52 points and hoping to secure a Champions League spot, even if it is in the play-offs.

Of course, the reason why Manchester United is most excited is that they defeated their sworn rivals Liverpool in this title race, so some fans also played "Liverpool roll over and salute the champions" from the stands! and other slogans that stimulated Liverpool.

Jiang Feng in the box is also very happy, his team has won the league championship, and there is hope to fight for the quadruple crown this season (plus the Community Shield is a five-time champion, however, it is generally rare to take the Community Shield seriously). Of course, there is another factor, that is, this league championship was snatched from Arsenal by Jiang Feng who changed history, and it was also when Arsenal's record did not change, which made Jiang Feng feel a sense of achievement.

Jiang Feng also received congratulations from Princess Beatrice's siblings and Prince Maktoum's siblings. In this box, in addition to the four sisters of Beltris, there are several others, namely Dubai Princess Samansa, Mannar, Prince Maktoum, and Abu Dhabi Prince, Mansur, Princess Mannar's husband.

Manar is the eldest daughter of the current Crown Prince of Dubai, the eldest sister of Prince Samandha and Maktoum. However, all three of them are different mothers.

Manar is 26 years old and has been married to Mansour for ten years. Jiang Feng found a problem, that is, in Dubai or the entire Arab country, girls get married relatively early.

This time, Maktoum came to the UK to play, and happened to meet Jiang Feng, so he followed him to watch Manchester United's game.

Suddenly, Mansour asked: "Jiang, I watched the game just now, and I feel that football is really a sport that is no less than horse racing, and I want to buy a team as well, I don't know if you have any suggestions?" โ€

Hearing Mansour's words, Jiang Feng was stunned. Although he remembered that the super-rich prince of Abu Dhabi had also bought a team in another time and space, and it happened to be Manchester City, Manchester United's sworn rivals, but it was already five years later in 2009, not 2004.

Now he asked himself, did he tell him to let him buy Manchester City?

Jiang Feng shook his head, if he really told him to let him buy Manchester City, wouldn't this be a pit? You must know that when Mansour bought Manchester City, it was after Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra had bought Manchester City and operated it for a period of time, and there was a certain foundation. But even so, Mansour has only won a league title after investing nearly a billion pounds. This is a serious disproportion to the outbreak!

And now that he is the male of Shamansha, and Mansur is Manar's husband, the two are considered to have some relatives, and it would be wrong to pit him again.

Moreover, Jiang Feng also knew that Mansur was not here for entertainment, he represented the reputation of a big Arab family. Unlike the purely profitable American business and Russian capital, which is for more political demands, Sheikh Mansour came to Manchester City with a budget of 3 billion pounds not for the sake of fame or political mediation, but almost a direct investment of national capital. What he pursued was the international status of his country.

"Brother Mansour, I want to ask you a question, that is, what is the reason for your idea? Is it purely for fun? Or is it for investment? Or is it something else? Jiang Feng thought for a while and asked.

Mansour obviously didn't expect Jiang Feng Jingran to directly give him any advice, but asked him a question. He was just improvised, and he didn't think deeply about this question, so he didn't know how to answer, and in the end, he asked Jiang Feng another question.

"Jiang, then what did you buy Manchester United for?"

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "There are three reasons why I bought Manchester United. First, I'm a Manchester United fan and I've loved Manchester United football since I was very young. Secondly, I bought Manchester United as an investment, and it was an investment in the hope of making a profit. Thirdly, buying Manchester United will improve my international profile and status as well as that of my company. As a world-famous football club, Manchester United is no longer exactly a football club, he is still a brand, a brand with a significant global influence. โ€

Mansour nodded, and then asked, "Jiang, then if I have the same purpose as you, then which club do you think I should buy?" โ€

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Brother Mansour, your question is stumped on me. But since you're asking, I'll give you my thoughts. If you're a fan of a Premier League team, you might as well buy it. โ€

Mansour shook his head and said, "I'm not a fan of any team, in fact, the only sport I used to love was horse racing, not football. โ€

Jiang Feng continued: "Well, if you have enough patience, then you can buy a team that is in the middle and lower reaches, and then slowly operate." โ€

Mansour asked with some curiosity: "Why can you buy a mid-to-lower team and only run it slowly?" โ€

Jiang Feng asked, "What kind of sport does Big Brother Mansour think?" โ€

"Isn't football a game about 22 players competing on the pitch? Isn't it just a game where you can buy 18 top players and win the championship? Mansour asked, puzzled.

Jiang Feng shook his head and said, "Brother Mansour, what you said is good, but you are very wrong. Indeed, a football match is a sport in which 22 players compete on the field. Also, it's easier to win championships with top players. However, having top players doesn't necessarily win the title, because the world of professional football has its own rules of the game. First of all, there are two aspects to what footballers want to gain, one is money and the other is honor. A good athlete, such as Ronaldo and Zidane, will not come to the middle and lower reaches of the team that has not even qualified for the Champions League, because it will not bring them any glory. And their success is no longer something that money can tempt. Secondly, even if enough top players are bought with money, but there is no capable manager, and these top players do not have a heart for the club, they still can't produce too strong fighting power. Football games are not a simple addition and subtraction transportation, nor is it a simple competition of strength, and many other factors such as environment and morale will also have a huge impact on the team's combat effectiveness. Take Roman Abramovich, who was in the Premier League with me last year, who spent a lot more money on players at Chelsea than I did, but now that a season has passed, my team could have won five titles and his team didn't win a single one. โ€

Mansour was silent. It seems that things are really not as simple as he thinks.

After a while, Mansour added: "I don't have the patience to run a small team, so what do you recommend?" โ€

Jiang Feng laughed and said: "What else is there to consider here, then only buying a wealthy club is the best choice." โ€

Mansour said: "It's not that easy to buy a big club, not all big clubs are a listed company like Manchester United, and they can get ownership through relatively simple financial means. โ€

Jiang Feng smiled and didn't speak. In fact, it is Manchester United, if it were not for the right timing, Jiang Feng would not have been able to buy it. Five years before he bought Manchester United, media tycoon Murdoch had wanted to take Manchester United, and Murdoch was much more energetic than Jiang Feng at that time, but his action still died abruptly, because whether it was the British zhรจngfu, the FA, or the fans of Manchester United, all opposed his acquisition.

The reason why Jiang Feng can succeed is because it has become an inevitable trend for foreign capital to enter the Premier League. In this situation, Jiang Feng raised his stake in Manchester United to 0.1 percentage points below the mandatory acquisition line, and after passing the review of the relevant departments of the FA and the United Kingdom, he initiated a comprehensive acquisition of Manchester United, which successfully won Manchester United.

"Jiang, don't you agree with my statement?" Mansour also realized that Jiang Feng did not agree with his statement.

Prince William on the side interjected: "Mansour, let's put it this way, if you want to buy a team, you must not only get enough shares of the club, but also have the approval of the English zhรจngfu, the FA and the fans, especially the first two, otherwise, the acquisition will not be successful." โ€
