Chapter 775: Manchester City's Sincerity
Debora felt that this should be the busiest time and thing for her agent, but now she has a feeling of being a complete spectator.
She sits in front of her computer at home in Brazil, and when she refreshes the page, she can see that a good show is playing.
Manchester City Club has just changed hands and suddenly announced that they are interested in the glory of Bayern Munich, hoping to bring it to Manchester City Stadium.
European football, and indeed world football, have not yet reacted to the lightning takeover of Manchester City by the Abu Dhabi consortium, and now they have been collectively silenced by a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
Manchester City actually wants to buy glory?
That's surprising, isn't it?
Although the entire world economy is mired in a subprime credit crisis, and the economic situation is in shambles, Manchester City FC is in a position to excel and is not short of money at all.
Can...... Where is the glory that you can buy if you want to?
Let's not talk about whether Bayern Munich Club will release people, let's talk about glory, how could he be willing to go to Manchester City, a nouveau riche with no background?
For a long time, only the world-renowned giants in Europe, such as Barcelona, Manchester United, and Inter Milan, can be linked to the glorious name. Chelsea have also spent several seasons of hard work by Roman Abramovich and Mourinho to become a quasi-giant.
What qualifies you for a team that was playing in the Championship six seasons ago?
Even if Rongguang is seriously injured and no one knows what the future holds, he will definitely not want to go to a nouveau riche like Manchester City!
Sure enough, as soon as the news came out, the media and the Internet were full of all kinds of ridicule about Manchester City.
The content of the ridicule is summed up in nothing more than one sentence: the toad wants to eat swan meat!
Bayern Munich did not respond to Manchester City's news at all, apparently they did not think there was a need for a response, and the response was humiliating......
But Manchester City didn't seem to care about the ridicule, and club president Fassim continued to express his affection for the glory in an interview: "...... Wing is a world-class player, he was, he is, and we believe he will still be in the future. If we can get such a player, I think it will definitely greatly enhance the quality of Manchester City......"
His speech was dismissed by the media as whimsical and wishful thinking.

"The Abu Dhabi consortium is really smart." At dinner in the evening, Debora told Glory about the recent events in European football.
Glory has to spend all his energy and time on rehabilitation, so there is no way to find out what is going on in European football, but he has to know. Debora was in charge of telling Glory about what was happening every day in European football.
In order to make Glory in Brazil, which is far away from European football, be able to know even if it is known about the consultation of European football.
"Why do you say that?" Rong Guang asked. "They're all going to be the laughing stock of all over Europe."
"Do you know where the capital of the UAE is?" Instead of answering Glory's question, Debora asked him a question.
Rongguang frowned and thought carefully for a moment, then said, "Dubai? ”
Debora smiled: "That's why the Abu Dhabi consortium is buying Manchester City – the world only knows that there is a Dubai in the UAE, but they don't know that Abu Dhabi is their capital. Abu Dhabi and Dubai have always been at odds, and Abu Dhabi is desperate to raise their profile around the world by investing in sports, which Dubai has done better than them, and they are not convinced. So they bought Man City, and the acquisition of Man City could quickly boost their visibility, but it wasn't enough, they needed something else to advertise them. So they announced in a big way that they were going to buy you, with your fame in world football, which is a brilliant promotion. You can go and see how often the word 'Abu Dhabi' has been mentioned in the media in Europe and around the world in recent days. This is also a kind of propaganda. ”
After Rongguang listened to Debola's analysis, it suddenly dawned on him.
While the Abu Dhabi consortium's Manchester City club has been ridiculed, their name is known to the world.
"This propaganda strategy in Abu Dhabi costs almost nothing, they just need to mention your name and naturally there will be media all over the world to promote them. So they're smart. Debora finally summed it up. And, no one believes Manchester City can get you, but we know they can. So even the ridicule of those people today will turn into a slap in the face to themselves in the future. ”

After Fasim expressed interest in Glory, Manchester City's current manager Eriksson also said in an interview with reporters: "Being able to coach Glory is something that all managers dream of. If he can come to Manchester City, I will welcome him with my hands up...... Will City be able to attract him? Why not? We are now the richest club in England! ”
Without exception, Eriksson, who does not have a very good image in the British media, has also been ridiculed by the media.
On the one hand, everyone thinks that Eriksson's statement is too flattering, and on the other hand, he is talking about foolish dreams. Everyone firmly believes that if Glory wants to leave Bayern Munich, it will definitely not choose Manchester City, a nouveau riche with no foundation.
And Manchester City's continuous high-profile announcement of their interest in glory can only make people feel ridiculous and disgusted - the lack of strength of the toad is delusional to eat swan meat, this is simply an insult to all normal people!
At this time, Bayern Munich's general manager Hoeness finally said: "Rong is not for sale, we will not sell him." ”
It's a very simple sentence, and he doesn't say much. With Hoeness's temper, it is not easy to stand up and refute such nonsense, and it is impossible to expect him to say more......
If the media hadn't been hyping up this matter, he might not have come out to refute the rumors at all.
After refuting the rumors, Hoeness thought that the matter would be calm.
His focus is on celebrating Bayern Munich's league victory.
Without the Champions League, this league title is particularly important, and it must be managed well.
It must not make people feel that without glory, Bayern Munich is useless.
After being eliminated from the Champions League, there was indeed such a voice in the media, and Bayern Munich, which had no glory, was immediately downgraded.
It's the kind of sound that Hoeness doesn't like to hear the most, because it makes it seem that Bayern Munich has become a glorious one-man team.
But the reason why Bayern Munich can become the hegemon of the Bundesliga is by no means because of glory. Before Rongguang came to Bayern Munich, Bayern Munich had won the Champions League many times, are those all the credit of Rongguang?
He has always been committed to making Bayern Munich not rely on glory, so that Bayern Munich can truly be independent.
So this league championship won in the absence of glory due to injury is particularly important and symbolic, proving that Bayern Munich can win the league championship without glory - before that, since Rongguang was loaned to Werder Bremen, Bayern Munich has not been able to win the league championship, knowing that glory returned to regain the league championship, so there are also statements in the media that Bayern Munich's league championship is brought by glory, Bayern Munich, without glory, is not even competitive in Germany.
Now the league title can help Hoeness slap those guys hard.
As the general manager of Bayern Munich, Hoeness is naturally a leader in Bayern Munich, Bayern Munich's interests are paramount, and any words and deeds that slander Bayern Munich will incur his disgust and retaliation.
He wants to organize this championship celebration to show the strength of Bayern Munich and slap those opponents in the face!
But when he went to work the next day, he found that he had an extra fax on his desk.
He called the secretary and asked her what was going on.
'An early ...... from Manchester City FC,' explained the secretary.
"Manchester City?" Hoeness was a little surprised, and then he opened the text and looked up, which was indeed the Manchester City team crest.
He waved his secretary out, then sat down to read the fax.
As a result, he had just sat down, but he stood up sharply again, as if there were nails in his chair.
He stood up, his eyes still fixed on the fax in his hand.
On the string of numbers staring at the fax, to be exact.
80000000!
The unit is ...... Pound sterling!
Eighty million pounds!
Manchester City FC bids £80 million for glory!
Hoeness stared at the offer, feeling a little unreal, feeling as if he was in a dream......
Eighty million pounds, at the current exchange rate, one pound is equal to 1.3 euros, and eighty million pounds is ...... One hundred and four million euros!
When Hoeness typed out the number on the calculator, he gasped!
He shook his body a little, and his hands were on the table to stabilize his body.
Then he sat down slowly, slowly, and his breathing returned to normal when his ass sat in the wide boss's chair.
One hundred and four million euros!
This will be the highest transfer fee in the world! It is also the first transfer to break through the 100 million yuan mark!
For a player who has suffered a serious injury, has not played in half a year, and has no idea what the future prospects are...... With so much money spent, is Manchester City Club crazy? Abu Dhabi consortium has a lot of money and nowhere to spend it?
Hoeness suddenly reacted, is this fax real and credible? Or is someone playing a prank?
So he carefully read the fax from beginning to end, so careful that he didn't let go of every punctuation mark, judging from his many years of experience in handling transfer cases...... This fax is genuine, and it is not a fake prank. And...... Who would dare to make such a stupid joke on themselves at FC Bayern Munich?
After confirming the authenticity of the fax text, Hoeness's brow furrowed.
He sat in his chair and stared at the quote numbers on the fax.
