Chapter 618: Hello, Manchester! (1st Update)
Chapter 618 Hello, Manchester!
Just as Gao Bo was preparing to fly in Madrid, Manchester City FC also announced on the official accounts of its major social networking sites: "On June 24, 2012, Manchester City FC will hold a press conference on the appointment of the new manager, so stay tuned!" โ
The accompanying picture is the silhouette of the back of a man with a cup with big ears.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
For a while, the media, who had all their attention in the European Championship before, turned their attention back to England!
Who is City's new manager?
In fact, many media outlets have already guessed it.
Regarding the scandal of Manchester City's pursuit of Gao Bo, it has been boiling since Gao Bo announced his departure from Atletico Madrid.
But at that time, not only Manchester City, but also many giant teams were associated with Gao Bo!
However, none of these clubs that need to change managers have yet to announce their new managers, and Manchester City is one step ahead - when the European Championship is in full swing, the first to announce a new manager, and this accompanying picture has almost made it clear - this is a manager who won the Champions League!!
On the morning of the 24th, there were many media waiting at Manchester Airport in the early morning, long guns and short guns, and Gao Bo's traces must be nowhere to be hidden - no one can escape the tracking of the English paparazzi, this is a group of guys with dog noses.
But to the disappointment of the reporters, Gao Bo did not fly directly to Manchester, he went to London first.
This is because Haruko does not plan to go to Manchester City to work, and of course, she also resigned from her position at Atletico Madrid.
Haruko plans to return to the University of London to continue her studies and complete her doctoral dissertation.
Gao Bo does not object to this.
He is not too macho person, and he will not require Haruko to have a husband and children at home, so he sent Haruko to London first, and then took the special car prepared by Manchester City Club to Manchester.
Reporters pounced at Manchester Airport, but some fans took photos of Gao Bo at London Airport.
All of a sudden, all sorts of speculative remarks began to appear.
Gao Bo in London?
Could it be Chelsea?
Or the London boss Crystal Palace or something's o(โฏโกโฐ)o?
Just when fans were discussing hotly on social platforms, another media came out to refute the rumors.
"Gao Bo has not signed a contract with the team yet, he sent his girlfriend to study at the University of London..."
A photo of Takaba holding Haruko's hand and strolling around the school is also attached.
Chelsea fans were naturally disappointed, while fans of other teams continued to be very interested in where Gobo would go next.
But by this afternoon, all the mysteries had been solved.
Gao Bo appeared in Manchester generously, and in addition to his agent Mendes, he was accompanied by Manchester City's CEO Ferran Soriano, now everyone knows that Gao Bo's choice is to coach Manchester City!
Manchester City fought their way out of the crowd of Gao Bo suitors and won Gao Bo's favor.
.......
The press conference took place in the afternoon.
Journalists packed the otherwise spacious press conference hall to the brim of Manchester City, who are not a small team and who are spending a lot of money in the transfer market, and no one dares to underestimate the money power of the Middle Eastern consortium.
Chelsea have succeeded because of money, and so can Manchester City.
It's not Chelsea's time anymore, and Manchester City have faced far less criticism than Chelsea โ after all, the first person to eat a crab is always the one to be targeted.
Gao Bo pushed the door in from the door, and he saw many familiar people in the audience.
He left England two years ago and now he's back in England with the aura of Champions League glory and England hasn't really changed.
The media here is far more developed than in Spain, and there is nothing in the tabloids of Fleet Street that they dare not say.
When Gao Bo and Ferran Soriano with a smile on his face came in, there was a slight commotion at the scene.
Journalists clearly have too many questions to ask about the return to Manchester City.
However, today is not a pre-match press conference, and there is not much media Q&A session open on the Manchester City side.
The smile on Soriano's face couldn't be hidden, and as soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to announce: "The youngest UEFA Champions League coach in history will be the coach of Manchester City!" โ
"Manchester City FC has a very big blueprint and this big ship needs a skilled captain to take the helm! In our opinion, Mr. Gao Bo is the captain who can lead Manchester City to conquer the seas! โ
'His experience in Luton and Atletico Madrid proves it, winning promotion from 30 points down in the second division, winning the Europa League as a League One team, and at Atletico Madrid, his achievements are even more brilliant, with two league titles, a Champions League and a Copa del Rey title! He thinks he's a natural winner, we need him, he can bring us victory! โ
Soriano uttered these words in a reverent tone, almost like a fan of Gao Bo.
This surprised the English reporters at the scene, and at the same time felt that Soriano was a little too much - this guy is almost kneeling and licking, how can Manchester City be a big team in England, do you need to kneel and lick a Chinese like this?
Yes, the current English people always carry a little pride of the people of the fallen empire, not to mention the Chinese, even their European cousins, the English are treated with a proud face.
Therefore, the English reporters on the scene felt a little unhappy.
And what about Gao Bo?
In the face of Soriano's praise, he sat in his place, his face was as usual, and he accepted it calmly.
So the reporter stood up and asked provocatively: "Spanish football and English football are completely different, your experience in Spain may not be applicable to Italy, do you have the confidence to succeed in Italy?" โ
Gao Bo looked at the reporter, and he snorted: "I think you forgot where I was two years ago." โ
Then he paused, and looked around at the rest of the England journalists for a week.
"I've already conquered England once, and this is only the second time!"
This sentence made headlines the next day.
Gao Bo took charge of Manchester City, and the news even changed the European Championship, which had already reached the quarter-finals, and became the news that all the media were paying attention to.
The rest of England's media scoffed at Gobo's self-confidence: "Maybe Gobo led Luton to win the FA Cup, but the Premier League is different, it's the hardest league in the world, if Gobo is not mentally prepared, he will suffer Waterloo here!!" โ
This is the mainstream view in the English media.
However, in Manchester, there are also pro-Manchester City media who have praised Gao Bo's arrival.
The Manchester Evening News devoted a series of front-page reports.
On the front page, the images that occupy the entire page are eye-catching.
Gao Bo wore Manchester City's blue jersey, and his skin tone was also photoshopped to light blue.
He held a greatsword in his hand, and he held it quietly with both hands, like a conqueror, a general.
Behind him, Manchester's City Hall can be seen faintly.
"Hello! Manchester!! โ
The blue general stands with his sword in hand, looking at the city he is about to conquer!!
