Chapter 617: Goodbye, Madrid! (3rd Update)
Chapter 617: Goodbye, Madrid!
Manchester City's chief executive, Ferran Soriano, was overjoyed when he received a call from Mendes.
Early the next morning, he came to Madrid in person, and in the apartment where Gao Bo lived, he had a four-hour conversation with Gao Bo.
During these four hours, Soriano explains to Gao Bo the grand opportunity of the city group.
The City Group is backed by the Abizal Consortium, a consortium with huge pockets.
In order to facilitate the acquisition of Manchester City, the oil tycoon Prince Mansour established the Abu Dhabi consortium. After spending a huge amount of money to complete the acquisition, the parent company of Manchester City Football Club, City Football Group, was also announced. Today, we hear more often than the name of the Abu Dhabi consortium, but the City Football Group.
Now after the completion of the acquisition of Manchester City, they plan to invest a large amount of money to make Manchester City's influence grow as soon as possible, which can facilitate their second step plan - City Group intends to rely on Manchester City's influence in the football world to gradually expand its football territory in North America and East Asia.
Isn't the name City Group for this grand territory?
In addition to Manchester City, there will be New York City and Melbourne City in the future. Maybe there will be Beijing or Shanghai.
City Group intends to acquire teams in all major regions of the world to form a football group of many teams!
Gao Bo had also heard of the name of the city group in his previous life, but he really didn't know that the city group actually had such a big plan.
If this happens, City Group will undoubtedly be one of the most influential institutions in world football, and with the funds of the Abu Dhabi consortium, they can build an impact by supporting teams in some of the key markets.
Of course, the focus is still on the Premier League!
Because the Premier League is one of the five major leagues, it is the league that fans all over the world pay attention to.
Therefore, Manchester City's results are the most important, which is directly related to the influence of the City Group in the world of football.
And the money that City Group has invested in this season..... According to Soriano's promise, there is no upper limit!
"The Financial Fair Play Act is coming into effect next season, so what we need to do this season is buy as many players as we need!"
Soriano said.
"And the team's goal is very simple, to win the championship!"
"This season, you need to win at least the Premier League!"
Soriano emphasized.
Gao Bo nodded, Manchester City invested so much, isn't it just for the championship.
Therefore, he does not feel that winning the Premier League title is too much of a task.
With your own presence, the Premier League title is definitely not too difficult a task.
Soriano was very pleased with Gao Bo's self-confidence, and of course, he was even happier with Gao Bo's team building policy.
Gao Bo believes that the most important thing for Manchester City to do at the moment is to establish the core tactics as soon as possible. There are a lot of stars in Manchester City right now, but they haven't fully played their role. They have brought in a chaotic list of players, which may also have something to do with the frequent changes of managers at Manchester City in recent seasons. Therefore, Gao Bo's advice is to clean up the redundant personnel that the team has introduced in recent years but are not needed, and then formulate the team's tactics according to the backbone players left now, and then carry out targeted reinforcements.
Soriano agrees with this.
The two sides talked for four hours and had a great conversation, and then finalized Gobo's intention to join Manchester City.
Soriano said that the two sides could sign the contract tomorrow and that a press conference would be held the day after tomorrow.
Gao Bo did not object to this.
The two sides quickly reached a consensus.
.....
The next day, Soriano came to the apartment where Gao Bo lived with the contract.
After the agent Mendes looked at it, he confirmed that there was no problem, and Gao Bo signed his name on the contract.
A four-year contract with an annual salary of a staggering 25 million euros – the highest annual salary for a head coach in the world!
Within four years, if there were no accidents, he would have been at Manchester City.
The signing has not yet been announced, and Manchester City are planning to hold a very big press conference and a meeting with the fans.
The signing of a new Champions League-winning coach is indeed worthy of much fanfare from Manchester City FC.
Although the official ceremony will be held in Manchester, Manchester City have prepared a photographer to record Gao Bo signing his name on the contract.
Photos, videos, and the picture of Gao Bo and Soriano shaking hands with a blue jersey with a blue moon will all be used in conjunction with tomorrow's press conference to make efforts in various channels for Manchester City's summer transfer window!
.......
When Soriano left satisfied, with his contract, Gobo and Mendes stood in their apartment rooms, watching the familiar reception outside Madrid and the blue sky and white clouds in the sky.
England doesn't have any of these things.
"I thought it would be an easy summer, but I didn't expect to sign another team so soon!"
Gao Bo smiled self-deprecatingly.
"I think it's the right choice!"
Mendes raised his glass and said to Gao Bo.
Mendes is indeed very optimistic about Manchester City, and many people use Chelsea as an analogy with them, but Mendes knows that if it is compared to financial resources, Abou will definitely not be able to compare with Mansour.
And Abu likes to interfere in the management of the team, while Mansour is completely handed over to the professional economic team.
A team that wants money and has professional management, the rise is a matter of course.
"For me, no matter which team it is, I can take it to the top!"
Gao Bo also raised his glass, and the two clinked glasses.
"How many days of vacation do I have left?"
"Not anymore, you have several commercials to shoot in the next few days!"
Mendez said, snapping his fingers.
Gao Bo felt a headache when he heard this: "How do I feel that I have become an advertising star now?" ”
"I think you have the potential to be an advertising star, high!"
Mendes said.
......
Gao Bo didn't stay in Madrid for long, he quickly took care of everything he had in Madrid.
In fact, there was not much to do, he just found a moving company, packed the contents of his apartment, and sent them to Manchester by post.
When the door to the apartment closed, Takaba and Haruko held hands and looked at the house where they had lived for two years.
"That's the life of a manager, Haruko." Gao Bo patted his lover's hand, "Always wandering around, maybe one day, I was fired by the club while I was directing the game..."
"It's just bitter for you!"
Gao Bo sighed.
Haruko shook her head: "As long as there is a place for you, it is not a wandering..."
The two held hands and watched the distant sunset being swallowed up by the mountains, then turned to leave.
Bye.
Madrid.
