Godfather Of Champions

After winning the Charity Shield, five days before the opening of the Premier League of the new season, England football finally experienced an earthquake.

When this earthquake just happened, it was only a small earthquake, and not many people took it seriously. But its influence gradually spread with the passage of time, and all talents woke up overnight-maybe this is another shock that will change the structure of the Premier League!

On August 11, the UAE’s Abu Habi Development and Investment Consortium issued a statement announcing that they had formally acquired the Manchester City Club of England under the name of Thaksin. The former club chairman Thaksin Shinawatra became the honorary chairman without any real power. Just like when Abramovich acquired Chelsea, Bates continued to be the club chairman for a while before leaving.

The news came so suddenly that many people have not yet responded.

Although everyone knows that Thaksin, the owner of Manchester City Club, has had a difficult life in recent months, but his net worth has shrunk sharply due to domestic investigations in Thailand. But no one thought he would actually sell the club that he held in his hands for a year!

Just a year ago, when Thaksin moved into the Manchester City club, the Manchester City fans did not express too much dissatisfaction, because they also yearned for the championship. The success of Chelsea has made many fans of other English teams realize that at present, In other words, a large number of foreign assets are the new driving force for the team's redevelopment. Thaksin injected more than half a billion pounds into the new team. In the first half, Manchester City once ranked at the forefront of the league standings. So the local media exclaimed: Manchester City is about to usher in the "Thaksin Era"!

The words are still in my ears, but the boss of Manchester City has changed.

The headquarter of the Abu Habi Development and Investment Consortium is located in Abu Habi, UAE. This city composed of more than a dozen islands is now the richest place in the UAE and the world, with a per capita wealth of up to 17 million US dollars. The investment abroad has almost reached a trillion dollars!

The secret of their success is that a quarter of the world's oil is under their feet, and the Abu Habi Development and Investment Consortium happens to develop and invest in oil, and the backstage of Abu Habi is the UAE royal family.

The British gossip media immediately unearthed the news behind the change of ownership of the club. They claimed that after investigation, the Abu Habi consortium headed by oil merchant Al Fasim holds ten times the wealth of Abramovich. The news shocked the whole of England.

When Abramović came to England, it was scary enough. In the past two years, Abramovich's investment has gradually become more rational, but everyone still remembers the storm that he set off when he first came in 2003, and the impact until now... …Now there is a richer Abu Habi consortium, and all clubs must be careful that their core team is being dug up.

The statement did not disclose the amount involved in the transaction, the amount reported from the gossip was 200 million pounds. He believes that he has made a small profit. From now on, it can be seen that the reason for his escape from Manchester City is that he was disappointed that Manchester City could not win the championship, because he has no money now and urgently needs to sell the club for cash.

Some media said that August 11, 2008 will be the most memorable day since the birth of this one hundred and thirty-year-old club, which can be compared with the birth of the team. The subtext is-maybe Manchester City can use this opportunity to regain a new life. Chelsea’s yesterday is their today, Chelsea’s today is their tomorrow, and the today of Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​AC Milan, Inter Milan and other giant clubs is their tomorrow. However, in fact, their most recent goal and the most likely goal should be to become the next Nottingham Forest...

As the head coach of the team, Mark Hughes welcomed the arrival of the new owner on behalf of the team.

"...I know it's not just money, but this scene still has to make people look forward to-we now have enough transfer money to find the players we need in the market... You know, what kind of one is that? Feeling. I mean, now I feel good, we have the prerequisites to be a successful team. Maybe this season I should set the team's goal into the Champions League next season?"

Look, Mark Hughes, who has never been so wide, is a little bit happy to speak incoherently...

※※※

Dunn learned the news when he read the newspaper while eating breakfast. Although the entry of foreign capital into the Premier League has not been news since a few years ago, I am afraid that the combined net worth of those foreign owners is not as good as the Abu Habi family...

He was dangling his fork and staring at the photo of Alfasim in the newspaper.

He was wondering, what impact will the arrival of this new boss have on Nottingham Forest?

He was the first to think of Ribery. He was still not at ease with this man under a bad agent. The transfer to Real Madrid is not successful, and maybe this unwilling agent will play something again. Furious with the wealthy Manchester City club? Encouraging Ribery to switch to Manchester City?

After thinking about it, Dunn rejected this hypothesis. Even if Manchester City can pay millions of pounds a week in wages, Ribery will not go to such a place where he can't even get an honor. He wants to go to Real Madrid. On the one hand, Real Madrid can meet his salary requirements. On the other hand, it has something to do with Real Madrid itself as a world-renowned club. There is a great possibility of getting honor and attention from all over the world. But what is there to go to Manchester City? No matter how rich this team is, can it become a league champion and a European champion overnight?

Dunn sneered.

He judged this not because he left a bad impression on Richards losing Manchester City some time ago, but because he really looked down on the strength of the Manchester City team. Mark Hughes is not a successful coach, Dunn doesn't think he can lead Manchester City to achieve any success.

Is it awesome if you have money? Can I buy all the heroes with money?

Stop dreaming, Mark Hughes.

You can afford it, my players are not rare to go!

※※※

In the following days, while preparing for the new season nervously, while watching how the Manchester City club, backed by Petroleum Dad, made waves in the transfer market, they kept hitting the wall and became Dunn's entire life.

The whole world knows that Manchester United is chasing Berbatov, and the whole world also knows that Berbatov has long been "secretly promised" to Ferguson. Now the whole world is waiting for Tottenham Hotspur boss Levi to raise the price high enough and nodding.

If it wasn't for Dunn to be satisfied with his striker configuration, perhaps he would intervene in the transfer of Berbatov.

Now his dark idea has been realized by Manchester City. The new owner announced his bid for Berbatov on the first day he moved into the team.

As a pair of mortal enemies in a city, Manchester City is happy to do anything that makes Manchester United uncomfortable. They may not really need Berbatov, but against Manchester United that is certain.

This made Ferguson very angry. Seeing success, Manchester City raised Berbatov's worth to 29 million pounds with a single mouth. Levi, the sly and greedy fox, turned his eyes and rejected the offer from Manchester United, and hypocritically hesitated whether to accept the offer from Manchester City.

At the same time, when AC Milan and Barcelona were both chasing Adebayor, Manchester City shot.

Although knowing that Wenger would not agree to Adebayor's departure, Manchester City still offered a high price of 28 million pounds. Wenger took advantage of this opportunity to veto the offers of AC Milan and Barcelona, ​​and at the same time opened a new contract for Adebayor with a weekly salary of 80,000 pounds, waiting for him to sign the contract.

Mourinho finally ended his life in seclusion at home and took office again. This time his foothold is Serie A giants Inter Milan. As soon as he arrived at Inter Milan, it came out that he wanted to take away Lampard and Drogba. In addition, Real Madrid also hopes to introduce an excellent center, they also like Drogba. This time it was Manchester City's disruptor again, turning a transfer into mud.

This is only the first day, and Manchester City has allowed the entire European football scene to see their style... how annoying it is.

Dunn doesn't know what purpose Manchester City did. Is it fun to make enemies around? Is it playing performance art? Still, Abu Habi is indeed an idiot who knows nothing about football, thinking that anyone with money can buy it.

But look at the results of these three transfers.

When Berbatov saw that Levi was about to turn back, he immediately jumped out to accept an interview and publicly stated that "not Manchester United will not marry" and Manchester City want to buy him? Wait for the next life!

Manchester City’s offer scared off AC Milan and Barcelona, ​​Adebayor was annoyed, and he would never condescend to go to a small place like Manchester City, even if he stayed at Arsenal! So he signed a big name on the new contract Wenger prepared for him.

Drogba? He didn't even look at Manchester City. Inter Milan and Real Madrid had an ambiguous attitude, and eventually he stayed at Chelsea.

This painful fact proves Dunn's previous assumption-not that you can buy the players you want with money. The world of football is not a world where money is invincible. A second-rate team like Manchester City still has a long way to go to become a god.

Out of hatred for the rich, Dunn seemed gloat for Manchester City. He likes to see rich people deflated, because who makes him not a rich person...

※※※

When he couldn't buy his favorite character in the transfer market for a while, Dunn planned to recoup his energy and put it in the league that will start soon. Anyway, there is still half a month before the summer transfer window closes, so look for it while you call it.

In the first round of the new season, Nottingham Forest played away to West Ham United. The opening game was Arsenal vs. West Bromwich.

West Ham United is not a strong opponent, and Dunn attaches great importance to it. Because this is the first game of the new season after all.

The Chinese pay attention to "everything is difficult at the beginning". If this head is not opened well, Dunn will think that it will have a bad impact on the whole season. In addition, from the perspective of superstition, it is a bit unlucky to not open it well at the beginning...

So all the main players play.

Van der Sar, Pepe, Kompany, Gareth Bale, Rafinha, George Wood, Van der Vaart, Ribery, Beckham, Van Nistelrooy and Eastwood.

Such a lineup is championship-level, and Dunn thinks that there should be no problem going away.

As a result, the three words "unlucky" came to his mind as soon as the game started.

After Van der Vaart got the ball in the midfield, he was viciously tackled by West Ham midfielder Lee Bowyer. When Bowyer shoveled Van der Vaart, he also made a "scissors leg" movement, and put Van der Vaart's left foot off. Van der Vaart made a gesture requesting a substitution while lying on the ground. Only ten minutes have passed since the start of the game...

"Damn it!" Dunn jumped up from his seat and cursed. It was not only Van der Vaart's injury that made him angry, but also because Bowyer, as the murderer, only received a verbal warning from the referee, not even a yellow card. He patted his **** and got up from the ground, and pretending to comfort Van der Vaart, he was pushed away by George Wood.

Bowyer covered his face and fell down, which immediately triggered a conflict between the players on both sides.

In the end, the referee gave George Wood a yellow card and Behrami, who was active in the conflict, played 50 rebounds each to separate the two teams.

"This bastard..." Dunn was of course not scolding George Wood. In fact, he was very supportive of George Wood's actions. He was scolding Bowyer. After so many years, the scumbag still shows no signs of getting better. It seems that this game at J** Stadium will not be easy.

Van der Vaart was carried down on a stretcher, and Fleming, the team doctor, told Dunn that he would never play again in this game and must be replaced. Shaheen, who was still undergoing psychotherapy, did not come to London with the team for this game. Dunn had to replace Petrov and let Ribery go to the middle.

Van der Vaart's injury disrupted Nottingham Forest's tactics and rhythm. For a period of time, West Ham United took advantage of the home advantage and bombarded the restricted area of ​​Nottingham Forest.

Fortunately, George Wood's performance was as stable as ever, and the defending players set up two defensive positions in front of the goal. West Ham United did not have a better way to break through the gate of the Forest team for a while.

However, even the best defense line may collapse in the face of endless attacks. Before the end of the first half, the Welsh bad boy Bellamy used his speed to break through Rafinha and then obliquely cut into the penalty area. He suddenly kicked and shot from a small angle!

The football was thrown by Van der Sar or hit the inside of the goal post and bounced into the net...

"The defending champion is in a tough away game! West Ham told them that the new season of the defending champion is definitely not a smooth road!"

In the second half, Dunn replaced Beckham with Lennon. Lennon, who has excellent speed and breakthrough ability, really caused West Ham a lot of trouble. His attack on the right is more penetrating, which Beckham can't match.

With this substitution adjustment, Nottingham Forest swept away the malaise of the first half. Seventeen minutes after the start of the second half, the score was finally equalized. The goal scorer is Van Nistelrooy. Lennon's breakthrough caused a weak defense in the middle of the penalty area, and the king of the small penalty area's sense of smell helped him find the goal of West Ham United at the most critical time.

Next, when the game was about to end, Nottingham Forest, who had not given up the attack, scored another goal. Ribery scored. A breakthrough in the middle, a long shot from the top of the arc, the football blasted into the goal of West Ham United. The narrator shouted "World Wave" repeatedly.

Dunn also jumped up from his seat excitedly, the final moment of reversal lore, and West Ham United!

Although he won the game, Dunn didn't mean to let anyone go at the press conference after the game. He violently criticized Lee Bowyer's lack of sportsmanship, and then "questioned" the referee's penalty on this foul. Of course, his doubts are generally more straightforward——

"I can't figure out why this foul, Bowyer didn't even have a yellow card. Such a bad foul is just a verbal warning. Is there anyone who doesn't want us to win? I'm so sorry, we won in the end."
