When studying Mazhe, Rist remembers a sentence clearly. That is, the internal cause of everything is the key, and the external cause only works through the internal cause. Any strong team, the beginning of their decline is infighting.

The beginning of the decline of the powerful galactic battleship was the departure of Bosque and Hierro. It was the game between Florentino and Bosque, and later the conflict between the local gang led by Raul and the superstar, etc. Of course, this is not very obvious in the case of the Galactic Battleship. More attention was paid to Real Madrid's defense after Makelele's departure. But in fact, the decline of Real Madrid originated from various infighting.

Then Yumeji is very obvious. Despite Rist's mediation, Assis reached a peace agreement with Laporta for the time being. But this ostensible peace is fragile, and it is impossible to achieve real peace at all. He has still not been able to improve the relationship between Henry and Ronaldinho, and he is still causing chaos in the current Barcelona dressing room. Beneath the apparent calm of Barcelona at the moment is more infighting.

Infighting, the current Barcelona infighting is very serious. And Barcelona's opponents will not let go of such an opportunity. All sorts of headlines filled the front pages of the newspapers, all about the problems between Ronaldinho and Thierry Henry. Reports like this are adding to the confusion in the Barcelona dressing room.

Halfway through the season, Barcelona's results are poor, and not average. Not only is he unable to compare to the strong Atletico Madrid, but also to Capello's Real Madrid. Even Valencia and Villarreal, who are getting better and better, have begun to surpass Barcelona. The current Barcelona is like the chaos after Figo's transfer to Real Madrid in 00, and the results are obviously declining.

Laporta now really regrets it. In his opinion, it is better to sell Ronaldinho directly at the beginning of the season when he was awkward. Whether it's sold to Milan or Chelsea, you can get a lot of money back. Now keeping Ronaldinho has become a major scourge of Barcelona's civil strife.

In addition to Barcelona, there is also Chelsea, who dominated the Premier League for two years. Jose Mourinho's Chelsea have been strong in the first two seasons, leading the way since the start of the season. And the lead is very large. So much so that the English media at the time were crying out who could stop such a powerful Chelsea.

Soon Chelsea gave them an answer, and that was that the enemy could not beat Chelsea. Chelsea can beat themselves on their own. With Mourinho and Shevchenko on bad terms, there are all kinds of rumors. There is Roman Abramovich who wants to fire Mourinho. There are Mourinho and Arneson fighting for power, and there are all kinds of theories anyway.

Such rumors, coupled with the increase in injuries at Chelsea, have also begun to have infighting. The emergence of infighting has caused Chelsea's results to drop a lot this season. It's not as strong as it was in the previous two years.

But Rist likes this kind of infighting. Because the giants in European football have a stable lineup, this is what Rister does not want to see. Only these giants have all kinds of problems, which cause them to need to constantly exchange blood and transfuse. Agents like Rist are able to make more money on player mobility.

Rist followed the clubs and came to Manchester on the other. This time, Rist came to find Manchester United or Ferguson, but to Manchester City.

"Chairman Waddell. Hello. ”

"Hello, Mr. Cyrny."

Meeting with Rist was Manchester City FC president John Brown. Waddell, who is also one of the majority shareholders of Manchester City at the moment, owns 30% of the city's shares. Manchester City's other two major shareholders are David. Makin and Stephen. Bob, the two of them together own more than 50 percent of Manchester City's shares.

Manchester City are under the rule of the three of them. It's just that John. Waddell is David. Makin and Stephen. Bob's best friend. Together with Manchester City's original major shareholders Martin and John. Waddell was a business partner, so John. Waddell will become the president of Manchester City. He joined the Manchester City board in '98 and became president of the club in '03, and it has been almost four years now. Got John. Waddell even managed the entire Manchester City board.

"You may be seated."

John. When Waddell received Rist's invitation to meet, he was surprised. He certainly knew about Lister as the president of Manchester City. Cherny the man. This is one of the best agents in European football. It's just that he was surprised that Manchester City and Rist basically didn't have any cooperation.

John. Waddell would love to work with Lister. After all, as a small club, there are many benefits to being able to work with a top agent like Rist. But there has never been a chance, and Rist can't look down on Manchester City. Unexpectedly, this time it was Lister who took the initiative to talk to John. Waddell meets.

"Mr. Chelny, I've been looking forward to getting to know you. I hope you will come and take care of us at Manchester City. ”

"Chairman Waddell, you've won the prize."

"No, I'm speaking from my heart. Mr. Cherny, I don't know what you are here today ......"

After some digressions, John. Waddell asked Rist directly. John. Waddell understands that a small club in Manchester City is not in Lister's eyes. Top agents like Rist do business with real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and other European powerhouses.

Manchester City's annual transfer fee over the years is estimated to be unsightly. That's how much it is, Manchester City's commission every season is given to Lister as pocket money, and Lister can't even look down on it. Even as long as Lister wants to, Lister can even easily buy Manchester City. Hence John. Waddell understood that Rist must have something important to do with him today.

"Chairman Waddell, I've heard that you've been looking for investors."

"Yes."

It's no secret, anyone in English football knows it. Manchester City have struggled for half a century in the shadow of their rivals Manchester United. Thankfully, Chelsea in London gave John. A revelation from Waddell, especially from Abramovich's investment, made him understand. If a club like Manchester City wants to catch up with Manchester United, the only way to find a gold owner like Roman Abramovich can only find a gold owner. Hence John. Waddell has publicly stated that he is open to investors. Hopefully Manchester City will follow the same path as Chelsea.

"Mr. Cyrny, can you help me find investors? The investment I want to get is a solid investor like Abramovich, not an investor like Glazer. ”

Manchester United have enough foundation, with one of the best coaches in the world, Alex Ferguson, who can make the Glazer toss. But a small club like Manchester City needs big investment, big investment regardless of the cost. Once an owner like Glazer arrives at Manchester City, Manchester City will surely die.

"Members of the Abu Dhabi royal family."

"UAE?"

Reese nodded and said, "Suleiman. Al Fahim, a member of the Nahyan family of the Abu Dhabi royal family, has a net worth of more than three billion pounds. And his family owns more than 500 billion pounds. ”

"Suleiman. Alphashim? ”

John. Waddell hadn't heard of the name, but he had heard of the Abu Dhabi royal family. What is the UAE, it is the Middle East, where the oil rich gather. There are a bunch of local tyrants in that place, because it's easy for them to make money.

"Chairman Waddell, Alfahim's own funds alone are enough to play in the Premier League. And they, Middle Eastern oil tycoons, are not investing in the Premier League to make money. They invest in the Premier League just to play. Especially in the Middle East, fans there like to watch the Premier League, so Alfahim is ready to invest in the Premier League. In fact, there are several goals in the Premier League, and I helped him think that Manchester City is still good and can be invested. ”

"Middle Eastern capital?"

At present, there are many owners in the Premier League, but among these big bosses are Russian tycoons, Icelandic tycoons, American bosses, but this is the first time that a wealthy Middle Eastern oil tycoon like Alfahim has appeared. For John. For Waddell, what kind of capital is still very important. Because the average small capital comes to Manchester City and does not make a difference.

"He's far more capitalized than Abramovich, and he's going to be more bold than Abramovich's. I heard that you are still in contact with former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra? ”

"Yes."

John. Waddell did not deny it. A powerful broker predator like Rist has his own news channels, and now, he can still have contact with the oil tycoons in the Middle East. Such an agent predator, can't help but John. Waddell does not pay attention.

"He believes he can have a few dollars, and even if he really wants to invest in Manchester City, he will borrow money everywhere. And he is also the former prime minister of Thailand, and Thailand still has to settle accounts with him. Why would you let Manchester City get caught up in such a whirlpool. If anything happens to Thaksin's side, Manchester City will be in a state of no return. Alphashim, that's a top predator. Working with him, he will definitely not be stingy. ”

Thaksin, a man who was chased like a dog in Thailand, wanted to go to England to avoid the limelight. Even if he has money, his source of funds is very problematic. Although Thaksin himself is considered a wealthy man, his financial strength is very limited. How could he himself compare with an oil tycoon like Alphashim. Alphasim plucked his leg hair, and he was stronger than Thaksin.

"Mr. Czerny, can I speak to Alphahim personally."

"Of course, that's for sure."

As long as Alfahim is willing to buy Manchester City, he will definitely not lose these shareholders of Manchester City at that time. Of course, a middleman like Rist, he will not be stingy. Therefore, Rist must make this negotiation a success.
