Chapter 1216: Almighty Money?
There is no doubt that Lin Yu, who scored three goals in a row, became the best player of the game, and there is no doubt that the fans of Osasuna also became the saddest fans of this game.
After the game, Gracia faced the siege and interception of reporters, and only said one sentence: "Lin Yu is a devil!" Devil! ”
As soon as this remark came out, the media also responded.
"Gracia's words really speak to the hearts of many people!"
"We have always said that Lin Yu is the devil, but how many people really regard him as a devil? Now we need to think seriously about treating this person as if he were a devil and not as a normal person before every game. ”
"Deafening!"
"Who else can stand in his way to victory? No, or maybe this sentence should ask what exactly can stop him from victory! ”
Because after the match between Real Madrid and Osasuna, the Champions League quarterfinals will kick off, so the reporters also cleverly found Pellegrini and asked him to evaluate Lin Yu and Real Madrid's opponent.
Pellegrini is not a person who likes to stir up trouble, but this time, he said something very specific to Real Madrid: "There is no doubt that if there is no Lin Yu, Real Madrid will be forced to draw by Osasuna!" As Gracia said after the game, this man is a devil and I have a headache now about how to deal with him, after all, the match between Manchester City and Real Madrid is coming. ”
His words were a bit of a sign of weakness, and he had already put himself in the position of the weak. He was not convinced by Real Madrid, but he was a little afraid of Lin Yu.
Of course, it is also possible that he is not afraid of Lin Yu at all, and the reason why he said such a thing is purely to provoke the relationship between Lin Yu and the high-level of Real Madrid.
He is not afraid that his words will affect the morale of Manchester City's players, on the contrary, he believes that his words will stimulate Manchester City's players and make them show stronger fighting spirit.
The reason is simple, Manchester City's players have a lot of self-esteem. No one wants to admit that they are inferior. No one wants to admit that they are weaker than others, even if it is Lin Yu, they will not admit it, this is the case.
After being interviewed. Manuel Pellegrini was on his way to a meeting. Because the president of the club, Mubarak, made a phone call to him. Said that there was something important to discuss with him.
He's actually very strange, it's almost the Champions League, what is more important than that? Could it be because of his poor results in the Champions League. So you want to fire yourself?
Manchester City fired Mancini in the first place, is it because of this, and now they want to fire themselves again? Don't these bosses know that frequent changes of head coaches will only make a team rise and fall and the results are very unstable?
Pellegrini is just a little uncomfortable, if Mansour really has to let him go, he will not have any nostalgia, the Premier League is too dense, the pressure on the coach is too much, it is better to find a better environment to coach in the league.
For example, Paris Saint-Germain, someone has recently extended an olive branch to him, and the salary is no lower than at Manchester City.
He's uncomfortable, just because he hasn't really made a difference at Manchester City, the Premier League title he won, Mancini also won that year, it's nothing, only if he gets the Champions League trophy, then he can take it out and brag about it.
Forget it, let me go, I'll go, it's not a big deal.
With this mentality, Pellegrini knocked on the door of Mubarak's office, he is now very calm, there is no nervousness or the decadence of being fired, he is very confident, in terms of coaching ability, he is no worse than other famous coaches.
If Mansur really wants to fire him, it will only be a loss for Mansour.
"Please come in!"
Mubarak's voice was heard from inside.
Pellegrini straightened his chest and combed his hair before opening the door.
……
Alex Ferguson once accused the Manchester City owner of spending money like a madman, forgetting to buy the right and not the right, with the result that some positions piled up and others were not enough.
Manuel Pellegrini had that in mind.
This group of Arab tyrants who don't understand football at all are just inferior people wrapped in money in his eyes.
But that's the way this is the world, rich people can buy status, buy women, buy friends, buy anything through money.
In the past, some people said that money can't buy friendship, love, or health, but now it seems like nonsense.
If you are a poor bastard and can't even afford a meal, where are your friends, if you don't even have a house and a car, or even money to support your wife, how can you talk about love? If you don't have the money, you simply don't have the right to go to the intensive care unit, let alone the best doctors with the most advanced medicine in the world, and then you can only wait to die.
Speaking of these, Lin Yu actually felt deeply, after having money, he had everything, and even his grandfather could only wait for death at home, but now he has been saved, and he is living a very healthy life.
Don't look down on money.
Pellegrini can look down on Mubarak, even look down on Mansour, but he can't look down on money, in today's football, whether a coach or a player is good or bad, the only criterion for judging him is his value.
"Mr. Mubarak, do you have anything to do with me? Now that the Champions League is approaching and we will encounter the mighty Real Madrid, I don't have time to chat with you! ”
Manuel Pellegrini has shown his arrogance, and as a manager, if you think you might get fired, you still show respect for the chairman who is much younger than you? That's a saint, not a normal person.
Mubarak's office is very low-key, as low-key as the life of an Emirati sheikh, with no expensive furnishings, no ornate gold and silver utensils, almost like the office of the average office worker.
Although many of the wealthy Arabs made their fortunes selling oil, they were royalty after all. has the etiquette and education of the royal family, which is by no means comparable to ordinary local tyrants.
Mubarak is not a member of the royal family, but as Mansour's butler, he certainly has his own etiquette, otherwise he would not be worthy of this position.
If you really want to talk about local tyrants, you have to go to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu is a nouveau riche in the true sense, and he doesn't have any royal blood, just an ordinary person, he lives an ordinary life and lives a very free life. There is no such pressure and restraint as royalty.
He spends as much money as he wants. He could buy whatever he wanted, and he could spend a lot of money to buy huge diamonds for his wife, and he could spend money to send valuable gold and silver utensils to those who had helped him before.
What about the dirt and the slag? At least spend the money and be happy. Happy. Spend your own money. No one else cares.
Mubarak is different from Lin Yu, he must always pay attention to his choice of words and sentences, and pay attention to his every movement. Even his eyes, his appearance, and even which foot is in front and which foot is in the back, he has to pay good attention.
In one word, it is tired!
Mubarak would never put his legs on his desk and watch a Hollywood blockbuster as he hummed a tune and snack.
What he wants to see must be elegant symphony, elegant art film, elegant classical music, and he will always live in a framed world.
"Sit down, there's something I need to discuss with you, after all, you're at the helm of this team." Mubarak didn't seem to hear the arrogance in Pellegrini's words, but he still behaved politely, and even instructed his secretary to make Pellegrini a cup of coffee.
"It's delicious, try it." Mubarak said.
Pellegrini was a little confused, if he was to let him go, there was no need for this, could it be that he guessed wrong?
He took a sip of coffee, but he couldn't taste it, not because the coffee was not good, but because he was so preoccupied that he didn't have the heart to enjoy it.
Mubarak seemed to see this, and smiled: "Mr. Manuel, to make coffee, you need to use the best coffee beans, and the brewed coffee will be sweet and delicious, and the aftertaste will be endless." You say yes, right? ”
"Yes." Pellegrini's answer was very stiff, he was really confused now, could it be that his chairman came to him just to talk about coffee?
He was about to ask a question when he heard Mubarak then say: "Playing football is like making coffee, if you want to play a good game, if you want to win, if you want to be the best team, you have to have the best players, you say?" ”
This time, Pellegrini can be heard that the chairman is not going to fire himself, but to buy players, but in today's football, who else is qualified to let Mubarak come forward in person?
Could it be......
No, no, no, impossible, absolutely impossible.
Pellegrini thought of Lin Yu, but soon denied his thoughts, this is too unrealistic, with Lin Yu's ability, and Real Madrid's attention to him, how could he leave Real Madrid and transfer to Manchester City?
You must know that Real Madrid is the most popular football club in the world today, and it is also the club with the most Champions League wins, and it is the club with the most league titles among the five major leagues.
Looking at Manchester City again, there are only two top champions in the Premier League, and none in the Champions League, which is a little too cold in comparison, and fools know how to choose.
But soon, he was shocked.
Mubarak smiled and said, "A few days ago, the boss and I watched the match between Real Madrid and Osasuna, and he seemed to be very interested in that Lin Yu. ”
"The boss is interested in Lin Yu!"
"That's right, I want to ask you, if Lin Yu joins Manchester City, what kind of results can you bring us?"
Peragrini said with some excitement: "We can win the league, the League Cup, the FA Cup, the Champions League, even the UEFA Super Cup, the Club World Cup, and the Community Shield!" ”
"Oh? So confident? ”
"Did the Chairman listen to what I said to the media? That's what I said in my heart, Real Madrid is really nothing remarkable, they are stronger than having players like Lin Yu! Remember Chelsea in the past? Lin Yu has only been in London for two seasons, but he has brought Chelsea two Champions League titles, and even a five-time and a six-time champion! ”
"Do you think you're better at coaching than Zinedine Zidane?" Mubarak asked again.
Pellegrini stood up and didn't bother to answer the question at all: "What do you say? ”
He appeared confident and haughty.
"Hahaha, well, that's it for today, you can go back and prepare for the Champions League and hopefully get a win at the Etihad Stadium." Mubarak laughed.
"I lend you good luck!" Pellegrini felt a little dazed, listening to Mubarak's tone, he felt that the boss Mansour seemed to be interested in Lin Yu, but Lin Yu was not easy to dig, even if Mansour was rich, but money was not omnipotent after all.
Of course, he is not against this deal, if his boss can really poach Lin Yu from Real Madrid, then he will snicker when he falls asleep.
That player is almost synonymous with the championship, with him, the club will not be afraid of any difficulties, not to mention that Manchester City has money, it is completely possible to find a group of qualified players for Lin Yu, and form a new Manchester City with Lin Yu as the core.
With money, coupled with Lin Yu's influence, I believe that it will be much easier to buy players in the future, but can this deal really be successful? (To be continued......)
