Every time he meets the rich people of the Middle East, Rist can feel their boldness. It should be these Middle Eastern Yankees who don't treat money as money at all. In the tenth round of the Premier League, Manchester City beat Villa 5-1 at home. The goal conceded was because of Gilberto. Silva fouled the speedy Abonlaho on the edge of the box and gave Villa a free-kick. Ashley. With this free-kick, Young scored a face-saving goal.

Gilberto. Silva is thirty-two years old, and although he is still very strong, he is really old in some ways. In the face of a speed player like Abang Laho, there is still some inadequacy. As for De Jong, Manuel Pellegrini doesn't like it very much. Although he is a Dutch player, in Pellegrini's opinion, the technique is too poor. Barry, on the other hand, went to the left and played as a left-back. The high-priced Krarov and Baines failed to play their strength. So it can only be Barry who used to be left-back. As a result, Manuel Pellegrini and Rist have expressed a desire to bring in a good midfielder.

However, the score of 5 to 1 still made Mansour very happy. At the end of the current ten rounds, Manchester City is in third place in the Premier League, only four points away from the first place. Mansour was so excited by this performance that he was so bold after the game that he gave each of the City players a watch priced at £168,000. Even the coaching staff got the watch that Mansour gave them.

Mansour gave away more than £5 million in one go. Of the current owners of European football, who could be more generous than Mansour. Just came over to watch a game and gave away five million pounds. Not only that, but after the race, Mansour was quite fond of Torres with a hat-trick, so he rewarded Torres with an extra £1.2 million sports car.

"Lister, Middle East boss, you caught it well."

Arneson looked at Rist with envy. Speaking of which, which agent in European football does not envy Rister for being in such a rich man. In the past two decades, international oil prices have continued to rise, and the Middle East oil tycoons, who mainly export oil and natural gas, have a lot of money. Even if they were lying in their own homes, the money was pouring into their pockets. Being able to be on the side of such a tycoon is the dream of all agents.

"Luck. Luck. ”

Rist said modestly. Being able to cooperate with the Abu Dhabi consortium, Rist's wealth has continued to expand in a short period of time. I have known Alfahim since 07, and it has been less than two years now. Rist has already made hundreds of millions of euros from the Abu Dhabi consortium. Helped him move to Manchester City and then spent them 400 million euros in transfer fees over three transfer periods. It gets an amazing share of commissions and transfer fees.

'Frank, how have you been at Chelsea lately?'

"It's ok. Roman trusts me a lot. ”

Reesette nodded. It has been two years since Arneson took charge of Chelsea. Speaking of which, Arneson has not had any outstanding results so far. But it's understandable that he's now in charge of Chelsea's Academy. The academy is not something that can be produced in one or two years, two or three years. It takes at least five years for youth training to have a small effect. If you want to make real achievements, you need to look at it after seven or eight years.

'Frank, to be honest, I'm not optimistic about your future at Chelsea.

"Why?"

"Because of Roman."

Rist and Arneson have a good personal relationship, so Rist rarely hides his thoughts in front of him. said very directly: "Frank, Roman doesn't want to be considered an upstart by others, and he doesn't want to be called a wronged boss. That's why he wants the academy to compete. It was just his momentary thought. Unfortunately, things have changed a lot, and now Manchester City are starting to spend money again. Roman is never willing to fail, and he definitely has no patience to wait for young players to become talented. It doesn't matter how good your results are in the Academy. With Roman's emphasis on results, there is no way to have a Chelsea talent. ”

Arneson has historically been a failure at Chelsea. But the Chelsea Academy he has created is not as bad as he thinks, on the contrary, they have a lot of good players and excellent results. The English FA Youth Cup has also been won. It's just that they don't have a chance in the Chelsea first team at all, so they can only keep on loan.

Abramovich's requirements for results will not allow any manager to use players from the Chelsea Academy. Only Arsene Wenger like that. In order to pay off the debt, it is simply impossible to bring in high-value players, so the treasure will be put on young players.

"I understand what you say, but I'm going to do it anyway."

"Yes."

Lister has said everything that should be said, and how to choose in the end is Arneson's business. Although the two have a good relationship, whether it is Rist or Arneson, they are all people with their own ideas, and it is difficult for outsiders to change their minds.

"Actually, Frank, I've always thought you were in charge of the athletic department of a club. to be able to use your full strength. ”

…………

Rist's base camp has been stationed in England, and it can be said that nearly half of Rist's forces are now in England. Because in terms of the current transfer market, English football accounts for one-third of the transfers in Europe's top five leagues. And just as Rist is cementing his position in England, Spanish football is watching a game.

That's the upcoming national derby. This season's national derby is played in the thirteenth round of La Liga. Every season's national derby attracts the attention of thousands of people, and this season's national derby has attracted everyone's attention.

Because Real Madrid has risen strongly this season after five seasons in the doldrums. Under Jose Mourinho. Real Madrid are currently on top of Barcelona, four points ahead of Barcelona. Florentino's return to the top of the charts puts Real Madrid at the top again.

And the same goes for Barcelona. Pep Guardiola's new style of play for Barcelona shocked La Liga football and European football. Because Pep Guardiola has maximised possession of the ball. Barça's average possession rate so far was 68 per cent. Such an astonishing percentage of possession is rare in the history of football. So much so that many people think that Guardiola's first season in charge has become a master.

Therefore, the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona is not only a matter of the La Liga championship, but also a contest between two styles of play. There were already countless war of words before the game. However, unlike the toughness shown on the outside, Mourinho is very difficult in the team.

"Jorge, you've been a manager too. Do you think so too? ”

Mourinho asked Baldano with a gloomy face. Seeing that Baldano did not answer immediately, Mourinho continued to roar: "Barcelona, their ball control has been practiced since childhood. All Josep did was maximise their possession. They have practiced this way since they were young, so they have a great sense of understanding. Compared to them, our players are from different clubs and have very different styles. Don't look at our good grades now. That's because of the individual quality of our players. However, in terms of cooperation ability, we still need a period of running-in. At this time, you let me play against Barcelona? ”

I can't help but Mourinho is not angry. After being released by Barcelona, Mourinho's all he had to think was to beat Barcelona and let Laporta take a look. He's the best manager. Not choosing to be their own manager is a loss for Barca. Mourinho's choice of Real Madrid also has the intention of revenge on Barcelona.

Jose Mourinho is a very careful man and knows more about Barcelona than any other manager. Although Pep Guardiola's Barcelona shocked everyone, even many La Liga clubs are now completely disarmed and surrendered in the face of Barcelona. Because they don't know how to break the current Barcelona at all.

But Mourinho is not afraid at all. Because Mourinho has enough drafts in his heart, he knows better than anyone how to play Barcelona. Now with Ribery, Cristiano. Ronaldo, Kaka, Joaquín are speed players, and Mourinho is even more confident to compete with Barcelona. But just before the match with Barcelona, the Real Madrid hierarchy actually asked Mourinho to attack with Barcelona.

"Jorge, it's impossible. This is completely self-defeating. How can you interfere with my team's transformation at will? ”

Baldano looked at the indignant Mourinho and shook his head. Baldano doesn't like Mourinho. Because Baldano always thinks that Real Madrid is noble, whether it is the head coach or the players, it should represent the noble temperament of Real Madrid. Raul is Baldano's best master, and in his heart Raul is the symbol of Real Madrid.

But Mourinho is completely different. Although he has already become the manager of Real Madrid. But he still hasn't changed his character. Fight with the media, argue with the referee, fight with the opposing manager. This is a complete tarnish on the noble elegance of Real Madrid. In Baldano's eyes, Mourinho is like some rural nouveau riche.

But I don't like it, Baldano used to be a great manager. He understood what Mourinho meant, and he actually had similar thoughts to Mourinho. But he couldn't agree with Mourinho. Because he is now the sporting director of Real Madrid, all he has to do is to be a lubricant between the president and the manager of Real Madrid. Also be an errand runner. Therefore, he said solemnly: "Jose, this summer Real Madrid brought in the top players of the major leagues. Cristiano, Frank, Kaka, Harvey. Alonso, they're all top players. We didn't bring them to Real Madrid to play defensive counter-attacks. ”

Baldano didn't care about Mourinho's mood and continued: "Especially since we are playing at the Bernabeu. It's the Bernabeu, it's our home turf. We can't let people look down on it, President Perez doesn't allow it, Real Madrid members don't allow it, Real Madrid fans don't allow it. Jose. It's not that we put pressure on you, it's the whole Real Madrid that puts pressure on you. You have to know that this is Real Madrid, not Porto, not Chelsea. ”

After Baldano finished speaking, he left Mourinho's office without waiting for Mourinho's answer. He knows it for a manager. Such a request is rather reluctant. If Valdano becomes the head coach of Real Madrid, he will not play against the current Barcelona.

But Baldano has no sympathy for Mourinho. Mourinho's big mouth, as well as his ** for power, made Baldano very uncomfortable. Because the power that Mourinho is asking for now is to be taken from Baldano.

Look at Baldano's back. Mourinho's face was hideous. It's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's just too hard. Mourinho is also the first time to come to a big club, to a real big club. I didn't expect that a big club is really a big club, completely different from other clubs.

Attack, I'm going to fuck it. As for Real Madrid now, most of the main squad are new players. Such a lineup and Barcelona to play against the attack? Barcelona don't look like a new coach and a lot of new players, but their core framework hasn't changed. is still dominated by Xavi Iniesta in the middle, with Messi's attack point in the front, Puyol, the defensive core in the back, and Guardiola is also a native of Barcelona and a coach. It is completely different from Real Madrid, a team that has changed from the core of the midfield to the attacker and the core of the front.

"Damn."

"Bang dang!"

Mourinho couldn't help but kick the table next to him.
