Manchester City, Manchester's favourite team!

Don't doubt it, in Manchester, the most popular team is not the Red Devils Manchester United, but Manchester City, who represent the lower middle class

The former Maine Road Stadium was located in the poor area of Manchester, which has never been associated with wealth, where there is poverty and chaos, so Maine Road Stadium was also the most trouble-prone home stadium in the Premier League, full of all kinds of fans, and even football hooligans.

Thaksin's entry into the house has been transferred from Maine Road to the City Stadium, which does not mean that Manchester City has changed from ** silk to rich and handsome, because Thaksin has not brought qualitative changes to Manchester City at all, and after his assets are frozen, Manchester City still has no money, and is still a foil in the transfer market.

But now, that's changed dramatically.

The Abu Dhabi consortium has taken over Manchester City, bringing more wealth and ambition than Abbu has brought to Chelsea, and on the first day of the acquisition, they announced the signing of the world's top striker Samuel Eto'o from Barcelona, a transfer that boosted the mood of the fans.

Immediately afterwards, they made a high-profile transfer contract with a total value of more than 300 million euros, aiming at Kaka, one of the three major stars in the world at the time, and they are willing to pay 150 million euros for the core of Real Madrid's front line.

Crazy, completely insane!

On the last day of the transfer market, they went crazy when everyone experienced first-hand the pressure and omnipotence of the big money from the UAE.

However, more big teams are thanking and hating Real Madrid and Kaka, because without them, maybe Manchester City's poaching will point to another club, and no one is immune, and everyone is full of expectations for this poaching, very complicated mentality.

Now, with the transfer deadline approaching, there is no doubt that Manchester City has no more time to operate, Kaka will be the last blockbuster transfer of the summer, but for Manchester City and the Abu Dhabi consortium, this summer is just the beginning, everyone can feel it, in the sky above the City Stadium, a larger net is secretly weaving, the net weaver is the three people in the office of the chairman of the City Stadium, strictly speaking, there are only two people.

Sheikh? Mansour? Root? Zayed? Al Nahyan, the younger brother of the president of the UAE and the head of the Abi Zabi consortium, is also the behind-the-scenes boss of Manchester City, and the person who controls Manchester City is Haldon, who is also from the UAE? Al? Mubarak, who became Manchester City's president.

"It's still a little small, what do you think?" Standing in Mubarak's office, Mansour looked at the stadium in the distance, and he shook his head as he felt that the city stadium was too small.

You can see the potential and ambition of a club from the pitch, he doesn't like to have a small belly, he likes to be ambitious!

"It was originally a track and field field, and then it was converted into a stadium, so you can still see those running tracks, the capacity is really small, but it costs a lot of money to renovate, and you have to convince the city council, you know, we rent it!" Manchester City CEO Gary? Cook walked up and explained.

Mansour is very young, only 38 years old, and is in the golden age of the most ambitious and expansive in life, because after the age of 40, people begin to feel bored, and it is easy to lose the motivation to work hard.

"Money is not a problem, you can take care of this!" Mansour commanded, Wait until Gary? After Cook nodded in agreement, he added: "Also, I don't like to borrow things from others, and I would like to have my own pitch if I can." ”

The meaning is clear, buy it!

Gary? Cook only nodded in front of this big chaebol.

"Do you think Real Madrid will agree?" Mubarak walked over, one left and one right, and asked Gary across Mansour? Tim Cook, obviously he is also very concerned about his first season in charge of Manchester City. ..., "Yes!" "Gary? Cook nodded, "This is a contract that no one can refuse, Real Madrid can't say no, and neither can Kaka, because we have offered the biggest contract in football history. ”

Gary? When Cook is talking, he has a somewhat nouveau riche mentality, because he used to be frugal, but now he suddenly has such a big windfall, big enough for him to bring in the best stars in the world, and it is often difficult for people to maintain a calm and rational mentality at such times.

"Who's next?" Mansour asked, smiling.

Gary? Cook said with a smile: "After the introduction of Kaka, we have Samuel Eto'o and Kaka in the front line, but we need to have wide players, playmakers and defensive cores, I think Barcelona's Messi and Xavi are good, there are many best players to choose from in the backline, Inter Milan's Chiellini, Chelsea's John Terry, Real Madrid's Thiago? Silva and Sergio Ramos, Liverpool's Nemanja Vidic, these are the best and best centre-backs at the moment.

Mansour was obviously unfamiliar with these names, a little unfamiliar, and frowned slightly, "You better make a list for me!" ”

Gary? Cook nodded immediately, he was even thinking that if these players all arrived at the City Stadium, then Manchester City's strength would not soar to the sky, and when the time came, he would see who would destroy whom, and completely bid farewell to the past situation of being bullied by others.

But just when he was so excited that he wanted to sing, the mobile phone on the desk rang.

Gary? Cook walked over, picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was a call from Real Madrid management Piri, smiled, thought it should be good news, and immediately connected, but when he heard it, it turned cloudy.

"What's wrong?" Mubarak, who was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked a little bigger than Mansour next to him, was also more serious, more majestic, and more unsmiling.

Gary? Cook just hung up the phone and walked over, a little apprehensive, "Real Madrid and Kaka have both rejected the transfer!" ”

Mubarak frowned, obviously a little angry, his first reaction was that there was a problem in what part of the operation, and his eyes pierced Gary like electricity? Cook, but Mansour turned around slowly, still with a smile on his face.

"Interesting, why?" Mansour captures the key at once.

Mubarak also calmed his anger and turned to Gary? Cook, at a time when they are not familiar with football, they are not familiar with the Premier League and European football, and they have to rely on Gary? Cook.

"Not suitable!" Gary? Cook replied, "That's their reason, but I think there's another very important reason." ”

Mansour nodded incessantly, turned and walked to the sofa, sat down, folded his legs, and smiled neatly, "Tell me about it." ”

Gary? Both Cook and Mubarak walked over and sat down on the sofas on the left and right, respectively.

"We have a thin squad and we can't guarantee the results of the players, and the main reason why we got Eto'o before was that he was not in Pep Guardiola's plans, he had been purged by Barcelona, he couldn't go if he didn't leave, and we gave him enough treatment in terms of salary."

Mansour listened and nodded, very leaderlikely.

"But for a player of Kaka's level, he doesn't just want money, to be honest, for him, money doesn't mean everything, he now has his own brand to run and it's running very well, which is the guarantee of his retirement in the future, and it's also the advantage that Real Madrid is best at, and we have almost zero on that."

In the past, Manchester City was just a club in the surrounding area of Manchester, with neither big-name stars nor commercial stars, so where did they have commercial operation experience, which made Manchester City completely defeated in commercial operations. "To form a business department as soon as possible, we must attract the best and best talent in this area!" Mansour reacted immediately.

It's useless to have a big star, you have to have a business mechanism to operate the star, so that you can reduce the pressure on the club's operating costs and continue to increase the influence of the star.

From Gary? In Cook's words, Mansour heard the overtones, whether it has the ability to operate commercially, which is already a sign of whether a club can attract the biggest stars.

Mubarak also immediately nodded, indicating that he remembered.

"Go on!" Mansour looked at Gary? Cook.

The latter felt the wealth and strength of the great wealth, and he couldn't react a little, and immediately coughed when he heard it.

"For players of Kaka's level, business is only one of the reasons, and an even more important reason is their pursuit in football!"

Both Mansour and Mubarak listened attentively.

"Who doesn't want to be able to make their name in the history of football, like Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo, Zidane and others? Kaka joins Real Madrid, why? Because Real Madrid is able to bring them all this, he does not rule out a transfer to Real Madrid! ”

After hearing this, Mubarak frowned, "But we are also constantly strengthening our own strength now, and in two years, we can also become the top team in Europe, and we will have the strongest competitiveness." ”

Mansour also endorsed Mubarak's words, as his plans for Manchester City are indeed exactly that.

Gary? Cook shook his head, "You know, it's okay to just bring in stars and attract top players, but to attract top stars like Kaka and even Samuel Eto'o, it's not enough to bring in reinforcements, we also need to have a plan and show them the possibility of success. ”

"What do you mean?" Mansour seemed to understand a little.

Gary? Cook shrugged, "To put it simply, we need a Yang Cheng!" ”

This made Mansour and Mubarak look at each other, even those who are not familiar with football have heard of Yang Cheng's name, because he is the most influential person in football today, there is no one.

"Yang Cheng is the best manager on the planet, his rise has been accompanied by a series of miraculous successes, and he led Liverpool to successfully defend the Champions League, and now all the main players in this Liverpool team have been promoted and cultivated by him, and in the field of football, he is the guarantee of success!"

"You mean that only by bringing in Yang Cheng can those superstars see the hope of success?" Mansourdon understands Gary? Cook's meaning.

"Not only that, he is a sign of success, but at the same time, his influence and status are enough for him to be worthy of any superstar in today's football, and even more so to succeed. Hughes, strength aside, purely from the point of view of influence and status, even Eto'o will not obey him, let alone Kaka. ”

Football, in fact, is also a place where seniority is very important, and if you don't have enough resume and status, you can't even try to control those stars, unless you're like Pep Guardiola at the helm of Barcelona, that's another story.

"In this way, the introduction of Yang Cheng is more valuable than the introduction of any superstar!" Mansour immediately realized this.

"Yes!" Gary? Cook nodded, "Not only can he give us a guarantee of success, but his influence, status, and commercial appeal are great assets for any team, he will make Manchester City the focus of the world all the time, and he will make Manchester City the object of all sponsors around the world." "..., Gary? Cook's words undoubtedly made both Mansour and Mubarak feel the weight of Yang Cheng.

If they heard about Yang Cheng before, they were more amazed, then now they have passed through Gary? With Cook's analysis, they undoubtedly recognized the value of Yang Cheng.

"But it is not easy to convince Yang Cheng, I heard that when Abu entered Chelsea, he personally invited Yang Cheng to take charge of Stamford Bridge, but Yang Cheng turned down Abu because of his friendship with Liverpool and went to Anfield instead, which directly created the strong rise of the Liverpool dynasty."

It can be seen that for Yang Cheng, Gary? Cook is more of a compliment and respect.

In the Premier League, Yang Cheng has left behind not only the first Champions League title in the history of the Premier League, nor just the first defending champion after the restructuring, but also more legends.

"Everyone has his weaknesses and hobbies!" Mansour laughed and stood up, "There is no one in this world who cannot be convinced, the key is that we must know how to do what they like!" ”

Slowly walked to the window, the afterglow of the sunset, followed by a short night, but after the night, tomorrow will be a long day, "Adjust our plan, the next focus is on Yang Cheng!" ”

…………

…………

When everyone inside and outside the Valdebebas training base saw Kaka in his training uniform again, everyone applauded vigorously, including the boys from the youth team.

The applause spread throughout Valdebebas, and all the fans chanted Kaka's name.

The Brazilian walked onto the training ground with his trademark smile and white teeth bared.

"Well done, Ricardo!" Marcelo, who was the closest, was the first to welcome him.

"Well done, Kaka!" Xiao Xiao Luo also walked up.

One by one, the players came over to welcome Kaka back to the team.

Brazilians have proven one thing, and that is that in football, there is never just money!

"I'm sorry, boss, I'm late!" After accepting the welcome from his teammates, Kaka walked in front of Yang Cheng.

Yang Cheng smiled and nodded incessantly, his heart was really moved, because he saw pure football feelings again, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist, but he didn't show it, but nodded indifferently, "It's decided?" ”

"Well, it's decided!"

Kaka's words immediately made another burst of cheers inside and outside the training ground.

"Not leaving?"

The Brazilian shook his head firmly, "No more!" ”

Yang Cheng nodded with satisfaction, "Give up the transfer to Manchester City, which is more comfortable, stay in the hellish Real Madrid to accept my torture, are you mentally ready?" ”

Kaka nodded and shouted loudly, "Ready!" ”

"Then accept the penalty of being late first!"

Kaka nodded vigorously, "Yes!" After that, I went to run laps.

"Come on, Kaka!"

"Don't run too fast, wait a minute, we have to practice cooperation!"

A group of players shouted desperately, and the fans on the sidelines shouted more excitedly and frantically one by one.

Kaka's rejection of Manchester City not only represents the victory of football over business, but also represents a change in the core thinking of Real Madrid in management, that is, Real Madrid will always be just a football club, and business is secondary!

This is a double refusal of Florentino and Kaka, because if either of these two accepts, then the transfer is done, so Kaka did not go, which proves that both have rejected the temptation of Manchester City, which is not just a transfer, and the meaning behind it is even more exciting.

After running two laps, his body was warm, and Yang Cheng stopped Kaka's lap running. "Alright, come back!" ”

When Kaka ran back, he was still smiling on the way, "I knew you'd definitely let me go!" ”

The Brazilian looked at Yang Cheng with more trust and respect than usual, because it was Yang Cheng's words that strengthened his determination and made him understand that football is not just a profession, especially for him who has achieved such a status.

Others can choose to go to Manchester City for money, for profit, but he can't Kaka, because he is not a slave to money, he is not a snob chasing profits, he is Kaka, Brazilian superstar Kaka!

"I'm happy, proud, proud today because my players made the best and most amazing choice!" Yang Cheng pointed to Kaka, and everyone knew what was going on, "I know that among the factors that contributed to his decision, there were me, all of you, and all of us, including the fans!" ”

Yang Cheng's words made the fans on the sidelines cheer and cheer.

"I hope that all of us can prove ...... with practical actions" Yang Cheng nodded incessantly, "Kaka's decision today is correct, incomparably correct!" ”

"Do you have faith?"

"Yes!" The players shouted in unison.

Kaka's stay in the club not only brought about the impact on the players, but also taught them that money is never more important than football, and gave them a deeper trust and sense of belonging to the club.

"Prove your words and resolve with the game on the football field!" Yang Cheng pointed to the player and said.

"But until then, you have to continue training and continue to be tortured...... Yang Cheng deliberately paused and said with a smile: "After the training, go home, take your family to the best restaurant in Madrid, I will invite you to eat the most expensive and delicious meal." ”

"Wow!!!" Xiao Xiao Luo screamed strangely.

All the players were in an uproar, this was a rare generosity for Yang Cheng.

"Long live the chief!"

"I love you to death, boss!!"

Yang Cheng looked at this group of players who pounced on him, and couldn't help laughing from the bottom of his heart.

Professional football is realistic, cruel, and without the slightest mercy and humanity, but at this moment, at least at this moment, Yang Cheng really feels the most sincere football.
