"Who is the owner of Manchester City?"

"Abu Dhabi Group is in charge of Manchester City!"

"Young rich man Alphashim!"

"Another Chelsea!"

"An oil boss richer than Roman Abramovich is coming to the Premier League!"

In 2007, just into April, all the newspapers were focused on Manchester. This time their focus is no longer on Premier League giants Manchester United, but on Manchester City, who are unknown in European football.

Although in Manchester, Manchester City fans are not necessarily fewer than Manchester United. But in world football, Manchester City will always be the back of Manchester United in everyone's eyes. Even in addition to England fans, fans in many places may not even know who Manchester City is. They probably don't know that Manchester has Manchester City in addition to Manchester United.

But such an inconspicuous club has become the center of world football since April. Because of a piece of news that shocked the entire English football and European football world. I don't know where the Middle Eastern oil tycoon jumped out, and the young Middle Eastern tycoon came to the Premier League. This kid made a very bold move, buying all the shares of Manchester City for nearly 100 million pounds.

If it was said that people would not have paid so much attention before, but there is Abramovich's success there, who is not closely following the news of Manchester City. Now everyone basically knows the Tao, as long as you have money, you can do anything.

Roman Abramovich has just taken charge of Chelsea, and in just four years, he has spent almost 400 million pounds on players alone, and more than 500 million euros in euros. Chelsea, on the other hand, won two Premier League titles with money. It has become a top team that no one dares to ignore in European football. If it weren't for Abramovich's crazy investment, the European football transfer market in recent years would certainly not be as prosperous as it is now. It is precisely because of Abramovich's investment regardless of the cost that other strong teams in the Premier League can only follow suit, which has led to the European football transfer market becoming more and more generous.

Now there is another Middle Eastern oil tycoon, supposedly richer than Abramovich. The rise of Chelsea has already begun to change the original pattern of European football, and now there are nouveau riche like Manchester City, and many giants are worried.

In particular, the England powerhouse is even more frightened. The current Premier League is already full of strong teams, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur are all desperately fighting for a place in the top four. Now there's another Manchester City, and the competition between them is just too big. But many brokers are overjoyed. Because the transfer market is getting more and more prosperous. They are able to earn money non-stop.

"Suleiman, congratulations."

Although Messi's matter involves a lot of experience with Lister, with the negotiations between Alfahim and Manchester City's senior management, Lister also frequently appears in Manchester. Rist has traveled back and forth between England and the UAE several times in the past half a month. It's for Alfahim to take charge of Manchester City.

Now the general trend is basically set. Alfahim actually bought Manchester City for more than £114 million. Speaking of which, it would not have been possible to use so much money. But I don't know what crazy former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is. It turned out to be to continue to buy Manchester City. As a result, Alfahim immediately raised the price by almost 20 million pounds.

How could Thaksin compare his financial strength with Alphahim, and immediately retreated. Although Alfahim used more money, he didn't care. Twenty million pounds for him. It's a breeze. It is estimated that for these Middle Eastern tycoons, blowing can exceed 20 million pounds.

"Thanks to you."

Alphasim thanked Rist. But Rist shook his head. Thanks, Alfahim is already thanking Rist. And not an ordinary thanks.

If it weren't for the cooperation with Alphashim this time, Rist would never have known the strength and boldness of the Middle East oil tycoon. These people are too rich, maybe it's too easy to make money, so they don't treat money as money at all. Rist has also been in this industry for so long, but he has never seen such a bold rich man.

This time Alfahim took charge of Manchester City, and Rist was running errands, contacting and contacting, and then giving Alfahim a counselor. But after the deed was completed, he had already given Rist a benefit of eight million pounds, and also gave Rist a villa in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. This villa is worth nearly seven million dollars.

More importantly, on the UAE side, the money that Rist gets does not have to pay taxes. In the process of Alfahim's acquisition of Manchester City, Rist received a watch worth more than a million, a villa worth $7 million, and 8 million pounds in cash. A complete set down, with an income of more than 20 million euros. And this money goes directly into Rist's pocket, no one shares it with Rist, and there is no need to pay taxes, it is a complete net income.

Bold, Rister can only think so. Fuck, these Middle Eastern tycoons don't have any idea of money at all. Rister is increasingly keen to stick to Alfahim, and he is sure that Manchester City will go on a buying spree.

"Nope. I just made a few more trips. Suleiman, now he has entered Manchester City, but have you ever thought about how to build Manchester City next? ”

"I don't have a complete clue yet. We need your help in this regard. ”

Alfahim has never played a football club on his own, he is now rich. Apart from this, there is no clue how to run a football club. But Alfahim is not in a hurry, and he has made friends with Lister not just so that he can help pull the Premier League club. Instead, he hopes that Rist can help him and make City as successful as Chelsea in a short period of time.

"Suleiman, since you said so, I will say two words. Everyone is now comparing Manchester City to Chelsea, but Manchester City and Chelsea are not comparable at all. ”

Now the English media are comparing the current Manchester City with Chelsea, and they believe that as long as Alfahim invests money, then Manchester City is likely to rise like Chelsea. But Rist scoffed at such a statement.

'First of all, Chelsea was already a powerhouse in England before Roman Abramovich took over. Before Abramovich came to power. Chelsea already have Cudicini, who has won the best goalkeeper in the Premier League, and they have developed their own talented defender John Terry, as well as midfielders Frank Lampard, French veterans Desailly, Petit, and Italian veteran Zola. There are also powerful generals such as Hasselbaink, Gudjohnsen, Gala, and Glen Shire. ”

Rist knew that Alfarhim didn't necessarily know these people, but Rist didn't explain it to him. Just let him know that Chelsea were strong back then. This is not Rist's nonsense, on the contrary, Chelsea was a real powerhouse in England back then, a strong team that Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool could not ignore. Basically, it is a strong team that can easily get a place in the Champions League.

"But what about Manchester City? Eleven years ago he was relegated to the First Division and nine years ago he was relegated to the Second Division. They were promoted to the Premier League seven years ago, but were relegated again six years ago. Of course, five years ago it was in the Premier League. Manchester City have been relegated for five years. Relegation is Manchester City's biggest task. Manchester City is a small team in the Premier League, a weak team. ”

Manchester City really don't qualify for Chelsea. Chelsea have been bringing in a number of Serie A stars since more than a decade ago, although most of them are veterans. But they are big players and Chelsea were definitely very strong in the nineties. At that time, Chelsea had won the FA Cup. Won the Cup Winners' Cup. And Manchester City has been constantly relegated, promoted, and relegated for more than ten years.

"Look at the Manchester United squad. Who is Manchester United's biggest name right now? Corradi. A player who was eliminated at the age of thirty-one. It's the same as not coming. Dittmar. Hamann, who was a very good midfielder ten years ago, is already at the age of 34. Liverpool are giving up players. There is also Claudio, a key player in the midfield. Reina, who also retired at the age of 34, is the heart of Manchester City's midfield. The rest of the players such as Distin, Dunn, Sinclair, and Vassell are just some players of average strength, and no strong team in the Premier League can look at them. It's nothing like Chelsea's squad back then. ”

Alfahim nodded. Alfahim, although not entirely aware of the teams in the Premier League, is also a Premier League fan. I still know about some common sense things.

'Chelsea didn't spend a lot of money because they weren't strong. It was because Chelsea had no experience and no long-term plans. Buy whoever you see, plus the European football giants at that time surrounded them, so the transfer fee will be higher and higher. Otherwise, with the strength of Chelsea back then, as long as hundreds of millions of pounds were invested, it would already be the best squad in the Premier League. But Manchester City is different, Manchester City wants to be the champion team, and the current squad basically has to be changed. From the back line to the forward line, you need to change it all over again. ”

"Don't be afraid to buy people."

Alphasim has nothing, just a lot of money. Not only does he have a lot of fixed assets, but he also has a lot of cash that he can use. Don't say buying a Manchester City club, he is buying an entire Premier League club, and then playing for himself is not bad money at all.

"Suleiman, buying people is also an art, you can't buy it casually. With the current influence and appeal of Manchester City, you can't buy even top superstars. At that time, Chelsea was much better than Manchester City now, but at that time, wanting to buy Raul and Henry was ridiculed. It took three years of development to bring in superstar players like Shevchenko and Ballack. So now Manchester City simply can't bring in top superstars, even if they have money. ”

"Can't really buy it? I love Kaka, and I've heard that you and Kaka have a partnership. ”

Alpha Sim has a lot of money and wants to spend money. He wants to spend tens of millions of pounds, and he is not even afraid to spend 100 million. The one I want to bring in the most is a player like Kaka.

"You don't even think about it. Manchester City can't bring in a star of Kaka's level without three or four years of development, they won't choose Manchester City. ”

"Hey—"

Alfahim shook his head. It turned out to be so troublesome, he thought that as long as he had money, there would be no problem. It's not just him, but many people in their family think so. The family believes that it has something to do with their family reputation, so they are not stingy about spending money at Manchester City.

"And if Manchester City wants to win the title, they need to change all the squads. But you can't change all the line-ups in one summer, and then the team will be in chaos and there will be no results at all. In the first season you should buy five or six strong players to slowly replace the current players. Five or six more big players next summer, and maybe even one or two great players. After two years of precipitation, Manchester City has the strength to compete with the Premier League powerhouses. At that time, it is also possible that Manchester City want to bring in some superstar players. ”

"Two years? Three years? As long as it goes in the right direction, I can still afford to wait for a few years. ”

Compared to Abramovich, Alfahim is patient enough. Abramovich was eager to establish himself in English high society in order to avoid the turmoil in Russian politics. But Alfahim has no worries about this, so he is very satisfied with the plan that Rist said will develop step by step. Haste is not enough, Alphasim understands this.

"Rist, do you have any good coaches to recommend?" (To be continued......)
