"It was a phenomenal game. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"It's hard for me to explain how I'm feeling at this moment, like sitting on the roof of my house and watching two aliens fight in mid-air. ”

Al Jazeera in the Middle East, after the live broadcast of the UEFA Super Cup, interviewed the European coaches in the chairman's stand, hoping that they could express their views on this game.

Ferguson's analogy is quite special.

"There is no doubt that this is a collision between two of the most forward-thinking teams in football today, Bayern Munich and Pep Guardiola's Barcelona, both of whom are significantly better than the others, and the matchup between them is very interesting and gives us a clear idea of where football will go in the coming years. ”

"I think Bayern Munich deserved to win, but Pep Guardiola didn't lose either. ”

Arsene Wenger has been more neutral.

In fact, everyone knows that when the game comes to this, there will be no losers at all.

"It should be said that Barcelona are indeed the most capable of beating the alpine team, but Guardiola needs to be a little more mature, especially in terms of on-field command, but I also believe that with the accumulation of experience, he will do better than he has now. ”

Heynckes pointed out Guardiola's problems directly.

……

In an interview with Al Jazeera, many famous coaches commented on the game, and their opinions were very unanimous, Bayern Munich deserved to win, and Barcelona lost a pity.

According to the reporter's interview and investigation, the UEFA technical department also rated this game quite highly, and they believe that this game represents the pinnacle of the technical and tactical level of European football today. ”

"There is no doubt that Bayern Munich and Pep Guardiola's Barcelona are the two strongest and most dominant teams in European football in the past year, and although their matchup tonight is temporarily separated, the next collision will continue, because they are the two most popular teams in the Champions League this season. ”

"Here, we also congratulate Gao Han, the amazing Chinese coach. ”

……

As the TV screen switched from live to commercial breaks, all four people sitting on the opposite couch withdrew their gaze.

The luxurious Royal Suite at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on the south side of London's Hyde Park costs £15,000 a night, and is a room for the world's most prestigious and wealthy people.

But at this moment, sitting in the middle, this young man dressed in the traditional costume of the nobility of the Middle East has been living here for several months, and he feels like he is at home.

Fifteen thousand pounds is a lot of money for countless people, but in his eyes, it is just a string of numbers, which will not cause any expression or reaction from him at all.

Because he comes from the richest country in the world, and is the most powerful and wealthy aristocracy in this country.

UAE, Abu Dhabi Consortium, Mansour.

These are the three hottest terms in the European financial circle in the past six months, but it is in recent times that they have really become well-known.

They recently completed the acquisition of Premier League side Manchester City, and now the blue moon is officially theirs.

Beside Mansour sat two of his most powerful assistants, Alfahim, who had just managed the takeover of Manchester City and made many Premier League media pages, and El Mubarak, the president of Mubadala Development Group.

Sitting across from them is one of London's most famous football investment experts, Kesh Harris.

In the past few years, many foreign investors have landed in the Premier League, and Kesh Harris has made a lot of money from it, and one of the transactions he is most proud of is helping Roman Abramovich successfully buy Chelsea from Bates, and bringing the head coach to Chelsea.

But that's all in the past.

Assisting the Abu Dhabi consortium in its takeover of Manchester City from Thaksin will undoubtedly be an even more stellar addition to Kash Harris's career resume, and he has even become Mansour's guest of honour.

The ordinary fans outside only know Alfahim, and for Mansour, they may only hear his name, but as a veteran of London's financial circle, Kesh Harris knows Mansour's ability better than anyone else.

With the spread of the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States and the downturn in the European economy, the aristocracy of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates saw the opportunity to buy the bottom and formed the Abu Dhabi consortium, which was commanded by Mansour in London and was responsible for buying the world's high-quality assets.

In just half a year, under Mansour's signature, Citibank, International Investment Bank, Daimler S.p.A., Petrole, Virgin Galactic, Credit Italia ......

Many of Europe's best assets have become their favourite, either taking shares, buying them or increasing their holdings, and Mansour's latest big move is the acquisition of Barclays Bank, a long-established bank that is also the main sponsor of the Premier League.

The value of each of these deals is staggering, and even the acquisition of Manchester City, the acquisition of properties around Knightsbridge in London and fixed asset investments such as Harrods seem insignificant in comparison.

What Kesh Harris didn't expect was that Mansour would invite him to his suite at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel through Alfahim to watch the UEFA Super Cup together.

The game was over, but Kesh Harris was still confused.

What exactly does he want to do?

Mansour sat upright on the couch and raised his right hand, and the bodyguard behind him immediately stepped forward and turned off the TV.

Without the sound of annoying advertisements, the living room of the suite suddenly fell silent.

"Kesh, I heard that you are the best football investment expert in Europe, I have a question that I hope you can help me answer. Mansour spoke.

Kesh Harris nodded solemnly, "I must know everything." ”

Mansour bowed slightly, turned his head and glanced at Alfahim, "Just yesterday, my right-hand man told me that the player we value the most has gone to Chelsea, and this is the second time this has happened. ”

Kesh Harris glanced at Alphasim and saw that the latter had his head bowed, a little ashamed, and he knew it.

Mansour was talking about Robinho.

Just yesterday, the Real Madrid star announced a move to Chelsea for a fee of 45 million euros, breaking Arshavin's transfer record and becoming the transfer bid of the summer season.

Even more surprising was the fact that Roman Abramovich offered Robinho £6 million a year, which was more than double his price at Real Madrid, and the Brazilian star simply couldn't resist the temptation.

But Manchester City also made the same offer, and even paid a higher annual salary than Chelsea, but Robinho finally chose Chelsea, which made Mansour obviously a little unacceptable.

Because not long ago, Arshavin also rejected Manchester City's invitation and went to Chelsea, and now there is another Robinho, which is undoubtedly a very slap in the face for Mansour.

"Sir, I would say that professional football has the rules of professional football, and a very important reason why Robinho and Arshavin chose to go to Chelsea despite Manchester City's higher salaries is that they are not exactly playing for money. ”

Mansour was aware of this, nodded his head, and motioned for Kesh Harris to continue.

"They are both in their prime years, and although Manchester City are now financially strong, it will be difficult to compete with the big teams in the short term, but they can't afford to wait, so they chose to go to Chelsea and play for a team closer to the title. ”

Mansour understood it, and it wasn't difficult to understand, but what he really cared about was, "Is there anything that can be done?"

Kesh Harris thought for a moment and shook his head: "The accumulation of a team takes time, it cannot be completed in a short period of time, and it is not the same as it was five years ago, whether it is the league structure or the intensity of the competition. ”

"And what about your opinion?" Mansour asked again, his tone always calm, as if he had little emotion.

"Accumulate slowly, first aim for the top four in the league, and then slowly try to win the league. ”

Mansour shook his head, "I've heard that you were the one who recommended the alpine to Abramovich, right?"

Kesh Harris was a little surprised, especially when he watched the European Super Cup just now, and now he took the initiative to mention Gao Han, a thought suddenly flashed in his heart, should this Middle Eastern tycoon be ......

"Yes, Abramovich was very respectful of Alpine back then, and I was in charge of contacting it, but ......"

"Then I would like to ask you," Mansour did not let him continue, his tone was very adamant, "is there any way to convince Gao Han to come to Manchester City to coach?"

"It can't be. ”

"Why?"

'You know, he's the number one manager in the world right now, and I dare say that all the teams in the world want to ask him to coach, including Chelsea and Juventus, who have a feud with him, and a manager like him will only go to big clubs. ”

"I know. Mansour nodded, he wasn't stupid, he definitely knew this, "What I'm asking is, is there a way?"

Kesh Harris sighed softly, wanting to say something, but ......

"I'm sorry, I think this ......"

"Kesh. Mansour interrupted him again, his eyes fixed on the Banker of England, "I know he's the best, and we just want the best, with his current status and status, he won't come to coach Manchester City, I know, but there's always a way, isn't it?"

"To be sincere, we have it, to have money, we have it, no matter what we want, we will do our best to meet it. ”

With that said, Kesh Harris could feel Mansour's determination.

This is indeed the style of the Middle Eastern tyrants, as long as the best.

It doesn't matter if it's a player or a manager.

Well, the customer is God, and for the sake of the pound, I got on my knees!

"Let's put it this way, Gao Han doesn't coach just for money, and even as far as I know, he has always been handled by his agent, Jorge Mendes, in terms of treatment, and he is a shrewd and difficult guy. ”

Jorge Mendes, Mansour and others have heard of it, Europe's number one agent.

"If you want to convince Gao Han to coach, you can only take it softly, not attack, first of all, you must get his agent Mendes, he is very loyal to Gao Han, you must at least convince him that Manchester City has enough sincerity and ambition. ”

"No problem. Mansour agreed without even thinking about it.

"If you want Gao Han to agree, it's best to take a roundabout emotional offensive, knock on the side, first establish a friendship, gain his trust, and then slowly talk about cooperation, I think there is a person who may help us. ”

"Who?"

"Atletico Madrid's technical director, Paul Futré. ”

"Why?"

Gao Han coached Atletico Madrid back then, it was because of his strong recommendation, the relationship between the two has always been very good, and later Gao Han established the China City team, and also received his strong support, all the time, everyone knows that Paul Futrey is the person Gao Han is most grateful to. ”

Mansour thought for a moment, then looked at Alphasim and Mubarak, neither of whom had a big opinion.

"Okay, this is up to you and Alphasim. Mansour was quick to decide.

"I don't have a limit on the time, a year, two years, even three or four years, I can wait, but I want to see Gao Han coach our Manchester City. ”
