Chapter 255 The problem of contract renewal (2)

It should be said that Manchester United's offer is quite sincere. If Sakha's value is included, it is still relatively good. "The Whole Market" paid Sakha 10 million euros. When Sakha transferred to Manchester United, his value was 12.5 million euros. Now it seems that it has not depreciated much. Media from other countries have ridiculed this as the prosperity of the Premier League.

However, the problem lies in Saha's value. After several seasons, the French shooter's condition is really average. In addition, Saha is about to turn 30. For Saha, 30 is a hurdle. After 30, the competitive state will begin to decline.

Therefore, Ancelotti looked down on Saha at all.

"Alex, what are your thoughts?" Galliani looked at Ancelotti, meaning, what do you think about this matter? You have to express your opinion.

"Reject them, all of them!" Ancelotti answered without hesitation, "I won't sell it no matter how much I pay." Just kidding, Ancelotti attaches great importance to Zhang Yang, and trains Zhang Yang as the future flagbearer of AC Milan. Where will he sell people? Besides, Ancelotti sees it clearly and sells Zhang Yang, and no matter how much money he spends, he can't buy such an excellent player!

Zhang Yang's talent and strength; Zhang Yang's efforts and attitude towards competitions and training all satisfy Ancelotti. How could he sell such a shooter?

"Don't think about it anymore?" Galliani asked with a smile. He was very satisfied. He had long guessed that Ancelotti would be his ally, and now it is true.

Ancelotti also smiled. They had the same position on maintaining the singularity. Ancelotti is the coach, and he only has one preference for players, how can he perform! A scorer who scores like a goal, as long as he is the head coach, how can he not like it?

Ancelotti was a little annoyed that the team's boss wanted to sell the team's number one scorer just because of his personal preferences.

On Manchester City, Manchester City head coach Mark Hughes is also having a headache. What he has a headache is that the team really needs a shooter. There are always rumors about Manchester City's future. Manchester City's open boss is still former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin. However, everyone knows that Thaksin may leave at any time and a new boss is about to come. Mark Hughes also knows that the club's future boss may be an Arab, but before everything is settled, no one knows what the final result is.

However, today, Mark Hughes met the team's future boss in advance, well, to be precise, the team's future boss' assistant. A man with an Arab turban found him in the corridor outside his office.

"Mr. Mark Hughes. Good morning." The man was very polite.

Hughes was stunned for a moment. He didn't know this person. Before he could ask, the person continued to speak.

"I am Mr. Fassim's assistant Saleh." The man introduced himself, not seeming to be worried about Mark Hughes, who would not know who Mr. Fassim was.

Of course, Mark Hughes knows who Mr. Mansour Fassim is. This is the legendary new boss of Manchester City club. When many people are still guessing Mansour's background, thanks to the identity of Manchester City head coach, Mark Hughes knows a little more about the team's new boss.

Mansour is the CEO of International Petroleum Investment Company. Well, it is worth mentioning that this company owns one-tenth of the world's oil. In addition, Mansour has many other identities, such as the chairman of the International Horse Riding Association and the largest shareholder of Mercedes-Benz. In addition, this person also owns Volkswagen. Porsche's uncle is the head of the UAE, and his father is the secretary-general of the UAE. The eldest wife is the daughter of the Dubai chief and the second wife is the royal princess. The Abu Dhabi consortium he belongs to is even rumored to have about 500 billion pounds.

Mansour is not just a businessman, he is also a remedialator, a member of the UAE Cabinet Conference and serves as Minister of the UAE Head of State Affairs. Under his leadership, he owns aircraft carrier-grade assets such as First Gulf Bank and International Petroleum Investment Corporation.

Mansour is also the chairman of Al Jazeera Sports Club and Chiefs Elite Horse Racing Association. If he is short of money and needs some pounds, he can ask his wife Manar for help, because Manar is the daughter of Dubai Chief Al Maktoum. Mansour and Manar have two children, a 4-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son. However, he also has a wife and an older child.

Well, in a word, Manchester City’s new boss is a super rich and has two wives. Of course, the most important thing is: this is a real master who is not short of money.

The question is, why did Manchester City become the lucky one? Why did Mansour choose Manchester City?

This is also Mark Hughes' doubt. He really can't understand why such a rich man chose a mid- and downstream team like Manchester City?

This question now seems to have an answer.

"Ah, Mr. Saleh, good morning. Are you having something to do with me?" Mark Hughes asked in confusion.

"This is not a good place to talk about things." Saleh seemed to be out of nowhere.

After Mark Hughes brought Mr. Saleh into the office and presented a cup of coffee in person, Saleh said straight to the point, "I know many people are confused about why we chose Manchester City. In fact, what I want to say is that Mr. Fasim is also a fan. He hopes to make Abu Dhabi more globally like Dubai through football."

Mark Hughes automatically filtered the previous half sentence, and he believed even more that the latter sentence seemed to be one of the reasons.

"This is an honor for Manchester City, and of course, it is also my honor," said Mark Hughes.

"According to our plan, Manchester City will build the world's largest youth training camp and the world's largest football tourism area." Saleh continued, which gave Mark Hughes the feeling that this boss' assistant, and this trip was to show himself the new boss' ambitions for the team.

"These all require one condition, that is, the performance of the first team must be guaranteed." Mark Hughes nodded and said. In fact, what he wanted to say most now is that it is good to have plans and ambitions, but if you have to pay, you have to buy people. Otherwise, everything is empty talk. Therefore, he is not interested in Saleh's description of the grand blueprint for the future.

Saleh seemed to know what Mark Hughes was thinking, and he smiled politely and continued, "Although there is still some time before (to complete the acquisition of the club), Mr. Fasim hopes to give the team some gifts in advance."

"Are you referring to?" Mark Hughes was stunned.

"Mr. Fassim believes that the team's lineup should be adjusted. He hopes that Mr. Hughes, you can draw up a list and hand it over to him." Saleh said with a light nod.

Mark Hughes was stunned. He was shocked. Then he realized that he was happy. This sentence could be said to be what any head coach wants to hear the most. Of course, if possible, Mark Hughes hopes that there would be a 'suffix' after this sentence.

But immediately, the suffix came.

"Mr. Fassim wants to improve the strength of the team, so he wants to know what you want, Mr. Hughes, you just need to know that for Manchester City, as long as the problem can be solved with money will no longer be any problem."

Well, when Mr. Saleh said this, his expression was arrogant and even a bit abominable, but at this time, Mark Hughes could not care whether the other party's attitude was friendly.

At this time, he seemed to be a person who was knocked out by a large piece of pie, and his mind was not yet fully awake and he was a little dazed.

The most intuitive advantage of currency is that it can be exchanged.

Mark Hughes had the most intuitive understanding of this at this time. In his thoughts, just like when he was a child, he always wanted to have a few pennies in his pocket to buy his favorite ice cream when he was out of school. This new boss, Mr. Fasim, might like to play football manager games when he was a child. Now, Fasim is an adult, and the money can be used and operated in his pocket. In order to realize his dream, it is to play the most realistic version of football manager. So he exchanged the "several cents" in his concept for ownership of Manchester City. Then, "This guy has a high data, I want it." "That guy has a high data, I want it too." "Hey, this guy looks ruthless and looks like my cousin, and I make him famous."

Well, in a word, Mark Hughes heard this at this moment and realized that Manchester City and his own spring were coming!

It’s good to have money!

As for some media criticizing that these oil kings regard the team as toys, Mark Hughes scoffed and ignored them at all. He is the team's head coach. As long as the club is willing to invest and pay for people to enrich the team's strength, as long as the new boss has no intention of changing a coach, as long as he can lead the team along the golden road, what should he do so much?!

The Manchester City head coach was very excited and immediately stated: "Mr. Saleh. I have no doubt about Mr. Fasim's idea that the team wants to become stronger. I am very happy that Mr. Fasim is willing to help the team in advance than planned. The last season has just ended and the transfer market has just begun, so now is the best time to buy players."

"Yes, this is why Mr. Fasim decided to give gifts to the fans in advance," Saleh said.

"Thank you. I will submit this list after careful consideration." Mark Hughes said.

"OK!" Saleh nodded, "Before the roster is submitted, Mr. Fasim asks me to ask you an extra question, where is the most needed player for the team at present?"

Hughes didn't need to think about this question carefully. He blurted out without thinking: "Forward."

Yes, Manchester City's forward line is too bad.

After Thaksin joined the team last season, he brought a lot of new players to the team, but the quality is really not satisfactory...

Although Mark Hughes has just taken office at this time, he still knows this team very well. In his opinion, the worst thing about Manchester City is the striker!

Neither Koladi nor Bozinov or Vassel could satisfy him. Elano is not the kind of player who is good at scoring goals. As for Cassetti, Mark Hughes even ignored it. Sturridge was good in Mark Hughes's eyes, but he was too young to take the lead for the time being.

As for Mponsa and others, Mark Hughes did not have much hope. It is better to expect these old guys who have entered the end of their careers to have a second spring, and it is better to expect young people to become successful.

The more you think about Manchester City's forward lineup, the more helpless Mark Hughes is, with almost no scorer who can make a comeback. Let's look at the Premier League's powerful men, who don't have a leading scorer? Manchester United has Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Tvez, and the legendary Berbatov who may join. Liverpool has Torres, Arsenal has Adebayo, Walcott and Van Persie. Chelsea has Drogba and Anelka. What does Manchester City have? Nothing!

In a word, in Mark Hughes's previous mentality, maybe such a lineup is still OK, but now with a rich father, this mentality is naturally different. In Mark Hughes' eyes, these shooters on the team are not the kind of stars that can reassure him. Well, maybe Mark Hughes didn't dare to have those first-class stars before, but now, after hearing the words of Mr. Salehsi, he couldn't calm down.

Hughes' performance in coaching position is also remarkable, increasing the Wales national team, which ranked 105th in the world, to 50th, and almost scored into the European Cup 2004. In 2004, he resigned from his position as head coach of the national team and became the head coach of Blackburn. His performance in the club was also quite outstanding. He stabilized the team's performance in the middle and upper reaches of the Premier League.

Now that he has become the head coach of Manchester City, this gentleman realizes that his opportunity has come!

Although Hughes can be called an excellent head coach, he cannot be called a "big-level head coach". In the past decade of Premier League, Ferguson, Wenger, Mourinho, well, maybe the name of Benitez can be added. After all, "Night of Istanbul" is the super legend.

The only thing Mark Hughes is his performance in his player age and the title of "Ferguson Successor" given by the media. Many people have had this title. The English media often hypes the so-called "Ferguson Successor". Now, if Hughes does not improve his performance quickly, he will soon become "a member of the many Ferguson successors who are not favored."

Now, the generosity of the new boss seems to have allowed Hughes to see the possibility of leading Manchester City to kill all sides, establishing unparalleled achievements, and becoming one of the many head coaches of the giants. How could he not be excited?!

Mark Hughes's request to increase manpower on the forward line was approved by Salehdi, and he nodded: "It won't take long, Mr. Mark Hughes, you can use world-class forwards."

When Mark Hughes heard this, he was frightened, "world-class forward". He was sure that he heard it correctly. Mr. Saleh was talking about world-class forwards. It would be nice if he just wanted a first-class shooter to join. Mark Hughes really didn't dare to think about world-class forwards.

Although he is more excited about his new boss being rich, he will not be excited about the southeast, west and north. Manchester City is not the Chelsea of ​​that year, and it is really unattractive to most top players. Some things cannot be done with just being rich.

Chelsea was able to attract players such as Crespo and Peron, who were still among the top players at the time. Abramovich's money offensive was only one reason. The most important reason was that after the preparation of coaches Hodel, Gulit, Viali and Ranieri, Chelsea was already a powerful team in the Premier League at that time. The league rankings can often squeeze into the top four. The Champions League is also a regular visitor, and even won the FA Cup and the European Winners Cup, which is basically a quasi-wealthy family.

In the case, with capital injection, they can transform immediately. Those top stars are not so resistant to joining Chels while being tempted by money. After all, this team already has a certain foundation and with money as support, it is not impossible to become a giant. Therefore, Crespo is here, Mutu is here, Veron is here, and Marklele is here. In addition, Chelsea's own Terry and Lampard are here, their rise is going with the trend. It is not too big an accident.

However, Manchester City is different now. Although Manchester City fans occupy the vast majority of the city, their history is even longer than Manchester United, but their results are really terrible. The most brilliant results are just four FA Cup championships and one Winners Cup champion, and they are too long away. It is really not attractive to the current players. More people just regard them as a traditional mid-range team in the Premier League. Six seasons ago, they just climbed back to the top league in England from the second level. Let me ask, how attractive can such a team be? How many world-class players will condescend to this team that may not even be able to play in the League Cup next season because of such a little money?

So, when Mark Hughes heard Saleh say he wanted to buy a world-class forward, he really wanted to ask, who is Saleh's world-class forward referring to?

When Abramovich waved the checkbook to buy people, it attracted the dissatisfaction and contempt of Sir Freud. The Manchester United coach said: "Even if you can buy 11 stars, this does not mean that you can form a team." In addition, Sir Joseph also mentioned the team's history: "Everything that Manchester United is not obtained overnight. For any team, history is very important, and we have a proud history." In fact, to put it bluntly, the so-called "historical history of a giant" is the foundation of a team. No matter how a team gets rich, if you don't have the foundation of a giant, it will be difficult to become a real giant.

Well, Chelsea was so despised at the beginning, it is conceivable that Manchester City is not very popular with many coaches and top players now.

"World-class striker?" asked Mark Hughes.

"Well, yes, world-class striker! I think, maybe that player should be the powerful shooter now, Mr. Hughes, I can reveal that that person was chosen by Mr. Fasim, and in addition, if possible, we want to bring Kaka." Saleh said.

"Kaka?" Mark Hughes was completely shocked this time. Compared with the so-called world-class forward who didn't know the name for the time being, the name Kaka brought a greater impact.

"Oh, this, Kaka's affairs will take time, but Mr. Fasim admires Kaka very much. Sooner or later, Kaka will be a Manchester City player. Now, let's look forward to the world-class scorer joining." Saleh said.

"Who is this person?" asked Mark Hughes.

"Yes, you are the head coach and you have the right to know. Mr. Fasim said that he will not interfere with your platoon. This time, Mr. Fasim knew that this player would definitely satisfy you, so he didn't discuss it with you. I hope you don't mind." Saleh said.

Mark Hughes was so entangled. Are Arabs talking so slowly?

"Well, that person is Zhang Yang. Okay, I have something to do, let's go first, I wish you good luck, Mr. Hughes. Wait for our good news." After that, Saleh turned around and left. He is indeed very busy now. Although the Abu Dhabi consortium has almost no problem with the acquisition of Manchester City, there are still some details that need to be discussed with the seller Thaksin, which is why the Abu Dhabi consortium has not yet made a public announcement to announce the successful acquisition of Manchester City.

Saleh left lightly, leaving behind the stunned Mark Hughes.

Did he hear that he was right? Saleh actually said he wanted to buy Zhang Yang? The expression of the Manchester City head coach was very strange. Faced with such news, he really couldn't calm down. This was not excitement, but could not believe it, as if he was a ghost in broad daylight!

After a long time, Mark Hughes came to his senses and shook his head in the direction of the Arabian man who had left. At this time, he felt that he could understand the new boss's thoughts more or less.

Obviously, this new boss, Mr. Fasim, does not know so well about football. There are many new bosses, and there are countless pounds. He believes that he can buy everything with money... including those world's top stars.

Regarding what Mr. Saleh said to buy Zhang Yang, Mark Hughes really didn't know what to say. Well, he thought about it and estimated that Zhang Yang was only less than 10% able to come to Manchester City. Well, this was Mark Hughes's heart that he made an irresistible offer to AC Milan on behalf of Manchester City.

Mark Hughes really can't calm down now. He is worried about gains and losses.
