Villa expressed his thoughts and positions, but perhaps out of professional ethics, David did not open his mouth to mock Middlesbrough, and David did not have so many scruples.

After the reporters left Villa, they came to the club together to apply for an interview with David, and this time, David spoke generously in front of the media.

'As Villa said, he's a player who belongs to Notts County and it's not something Middlesbrough can take away if they feel good about themselves. 200w pounds? Maybe it's a figure that a lot of League Two teams can't refuse, but we at Notts County don't care. ”

'Villa is a great player, he has a complete plan for his career, Notts County is a good platform and maybe a Premier League team is a good option, but I don't think he will go to a Premier League team that can be slaughtered by Notts County, so it would be better to stay in Notts County than that.

"Mr. McClaren should probably be more pragmatic and look at Middlesbrough's poor results, if I were a Middlesbrough fan, then I wouldn't want such an idiot to continue to sit in the manager's position."

David didn't save face at all for Middlesbrough and McLaren, and he was extremely ridiculed, anyway, the two sides were erected, and they didn't care!

His statement suddenly made Middlesbrough a joke in the Premier League.

Is there anything more humiliating than having lost all four games and finishing at the bottom of the table, being bloodied by a League Two team in the Carabao Cup, and most importantly, even being denied a player from a League Two team?

Many Premier League fans feel that it is a shame for them to be in the Premier League with such a club, and they wish Middlesbrough would be relegated sooner.

Just as the Villa transfer affair was gradually subdued, Notts County ushered in the seventh round of the League Two match against Port Vale.

Loew used a rotation strategy in this game, but with the team's excellent squad depth, he still won comfortably against his opponents, winning five consecutive victories while climbing to second place in the standings, surpassing Mansfield, who were held to a draw by their opponents in this game.

After this game, David had to travel to the United States to continue waiting for the stock market to open, and the next two league games against Blackpool and Wigan Athletic could only be missed.

On the plane, although David wanted to tease the flight attendant who was seductive in uniform, he was always very introverted in this regard, and he was just thinking about it in his heart.

The flight from England to the United States was almost eight hours, and David wanted to get some sleep to pass the boring but exhausting journey, but was suddenly caught by a middle-aged man next to him.

Frowning slightly, David felt that this person was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Sensing David's gaze, the middle-aged man smiled, and said hello to strangers.

Looking at each other's smiles, David suddenly remembered, isn't this Soriano, the CEO of Manchester City in his previous life?

Maybe it's because of his younger face that David didn't think of it for the first time, but in his previous life, David had a certain understanding of this very well-known Spaniard in football.

Soriano is a native of Barcelona and has been a big Barcelona fan since he was a child.

In the summer of 2003, together with Russell and Mark Ingla, Soriano won the Barcelona presidency election as a key member of the campaign team of the young lawyer Laporta, whose famous slogan "Barcelona supreme" was also inspired by Soriano.

As the vice president of the team, Soriano is in charge of the team's finances, and from 2003 to 2008, Barcelona has taken solid steps to reach the top of its history, both at the competitive level and at the economic level, and Soriano has contributed to this.

After leaving Barcelona, Soriano was invited by Mansour to become the CEO of Manchester City FC.

A thought popped into David's mind, if he invited Soriano to Notts County as CEO now, would it be successful?

In 03, he will help Laporta in the election, and now Soriano should still be the middle manager of Iberia, if he starts first, he may not have a chance.

After thinking about it, David asked the stewardess to bring a newspaper, pretending to look at it, and when he saw the sports page, he deliberately sighed: "It seems that this season's Champions League really belongs to Real Madrid!" ”

Sure enough, his words caught the attention of Soriano, who was sitting next to him.

The Barcelona die-hard who will be in charge of the giant club in the future frowned, and said directly: "I don't think so, although Real Madrid won the league championship last season, but that was just their luck, this season should be Barcelona to win the championship!" ”

David pretended to be surprised and said exaggeratedly: "A season's league results can also depend on luck alone?" Barcelona's performance in recent years has not been good, it is definitely not as good as Real Madrid, not to mention, even Zidane has transferred to Real Madrid, and Barcelona has no strength to resist. ”

Soriano's eyes widened and his expression was a little angry, but he didn't know what to use to refute David, because he knew that David was telling the truth.

"Are you a Barcelona fan?" David asked knowingly.

Soriano nodded, but didn't say anything, as if David had poked Zidane in his sore spot when he mentioned it.

Originally, Barcelona has been suppressed by the sworn rival Real Madrid in recent years, and now even the world's No. 1 star has transferred to Real Madrid, as David said, Barcelona is difficult to compete again.

Of course, this is only compared with Real Madrid, Barcelona is still a superstar team, and it is also very competitive in European football, at least David knows that Barcelona broke into the semi-finals of the Champions League this season, and finally lost to Real Madrid and missed the final.

The two strangers got together because of football, and under David's conscious guidance, Soriano talked a lot about football, about his work, about his ideals, and so on.

"Well, it just so happens that my team is missing a CEO, and if you don't mind, I'd like to invite you to take on this position." Two hours later, David felt the time was ripe and opened his mouth to invite.

Soriano didn't seem to react for a while, and his expression was still stagnant when the two were chatting just now.

My team?

What team?

Soriano was a little stunned by David's words.

'That's right, I'm the president of the club in Notts County, I think you'll hear the name of Notts County, and although we're still in League Two, I can guarantee that in two seasons we'll be a Premier League team.' David swore that he could see Soriano's confusion.
