Godfather Of Champions

"Gabriel Abangraho! Abangraho! This is his third goal of the game! In less than eight minutes, Abangraho performed a hat-trick! Ooh-poor Manchester City !" The Vera Park Stadium thundered with joy, as if there was an earthquake here. The momentum frightened the away Manchester City fans, and they looked at the kid running on the sidelines dumbly from their seats.

His name is Gabriel Abangraho, and he is the new star of Aston Villa's recent two seasons. Now he is the absolute protagonist of this game.

Manchester City coach Mark Hughes stood on the sidelines with his hands around his chest, looking helplessly at the celebrating crowd around him.

Just eight minutes ago, his team had just relied on Elano's penalty kick to tie the score to 1:1. He is still planning how to take away three points and present a perfect meeting gift to the new boss. Here, Villa’s No. 11 kid has scored three goals in a row and completed a hat trick...

After the game, Manchester City, who lost 1:4 away, became the laughing stock of the media. Just became a rich man, but only a pair of underwear was left on the court. It was so happy. In England, there seem to be many people who hate the rich...

After returning to Manchester from Birmingham, the first thing Mark Hughes did was to go to the club’s boss and tell him that this summer would be over if he didn’t do anything else-due to Thaksin’s problems some time ago, Manchester City was slow in the transfer market. Apart from repurchasing Sean Wright Phillips, there is no other commendable move.

Before he left to find the boss, an Arab man wearing a white turban found him.

"Mr. Mark Hughes, good morning." The man was very polite.

Hughes felt uncomfortable, but he was not surprised. Since the club changed its boss overnight, there have been more people like this.

"I am Osam, Mr. Fasim's assistant."

"Ah, Mr. Osam, good morning. Is there anything you can do with me?"

In fact, if you can guess it, Osam looking for him is equivalent to Fasim looking for him.

"Mr. Fasim believes that the team's squad should make some major adjustments. He hopes that Mr. Hughes can draw up a list and hand it to him."

Faced with such a good thing, Hughes shook his head: "Mr. Osam, I have no doubt that Mr. Fasim wants the team to become stronger. But now that the new season has begun, a major adjustment of the lineup will only Bring worse results. Of course we need to adjust the current lineup, but not now."

"Then can you tell me what position the team needs the most?"

This time Hughes didn't even think about it, and blurted out: "Forward."

Yes, Manchester City's striker is too bad.

The game against Aston Villa seemed to be a problem with the back line, but in fact it was the forward. If the forward can never pose a threat to the enemy's goal, the opponent's offense will be unscrupulous.

After Thaksin joined the home team last season, he brought many newcomers to the team, but the quality is really not flattering...

After Mark Hughes took office this summer, the first thing he did was to clean up the players who weren't needed. On the front line, they drove five away in one go.

Corradi was sold to Regina, Bianchi was sold to Turin, Samaras went to the Celtics, Di overcome and Mpensa were terminated by the club.

The only forwards remaining in the team are Wasser, Benjamin Mwaluvari, Bodinov and Sturridge. Among them, Sturridge is the team's future star, but he is still slightly immature.

Look at this lineup, there is hardly a scorer that can be achieved. Look at the top five in the Premier League. Which one does not have a leading scorer? Manchester United have Rooney, Ronaldo and Tevez, Liverpool have Torres, Arsenal have Adebayor and Eduardo Silva, Chelsea have Drogba and Nottingham Forest have Van Nistelrooy.

The rhetoric of Manchester City’s new boss is still prominent in the media. As a team that has always wanted to win all the championships and reach the Champions League, it is too... shabby to have no striker of sufficient grade.

The position proposed by Mark Hughes was also approved by Osam, and he nodded: "It won't be long, Mr. Mark Hughes, you can have many world-class forwards."

Mark Hughes was frightened. He was afraid that the club would waste time on players who would never come. He quickly said: "I hope as soon as possible. We don't have much time, Mr. Osam. The summer transfer period is still there. Half a month is about to end, we can't find anyone and we can only wait until January next year..."

"Don't worry about this, Mr. Hughes. We have a big plan, but it takes time. Don't worry, the forward will be satisfied as soon as possible."

After speaking, Osam turned and left. He was now a busy man. Although Manchester City has a general manager, in front of Fasim, this personal assistant is better...

Mark Hughes looked at the back of the Arab man and shook his head. From the initial excitement of seeing a large amount of capital pouring into the club, to the current calm, it was only a week. Because he has seen with his own eyes how those stars simply rejected Manchester City.

Manchester City is not the Chelsea that year. For most players, it is really unattractive. Some things can't be done with money alone.

Chelsea was so attractive at the beginning, and Abramovich is rich only for one reason. The most important reason is that after the preparation of several coaches such as Hoddle, Gullit, Viali and Ranieri, Chelsea was already an emerging force outside of the traditional Premier League three, and the league ranking has long been among the top four. , And even won the FA Cup and the European Cup Winners' Cup, basically regarded as a quasi-rich. Under such circumstances, with capital injection, they can immediately change their lives.

Manchester City is different. Although the history representing Manchester is longer than that of the outsider, Manchester United, the results are really disastrous. The most glorious results are not out of date with four FA Cup titles and one Cup Winners' Cup, and they are too far away, which is really unattractive to current players. More people just treat them as a traditional mid-range Premier League team.

How many world-class players would condescend to come to this team that might not even be able to play in the UEFA Cup next season because of that little money?

According to Hughes's thinking, it will take at least three to four years to rebuild Manchester City. Through small victories and small trophies, it will re-accumulate the heritage and change the impression of Manchester City as a low-grade team in everyone's mind. Then there is the road to the rich...

But his new boss is impatient and obviously can't wait that long. And he has many, many, uncountable pounds, and he thinks he can buy time with money. He wants Manchester City to become the world's No. 1 team that world-class stars are all eager for overnight. The new Manchester United and the new Real Madrid are more than just shouting.

Mark Hughes now feels that sitting in the position of Manchester City coach is not an enviable beauty. There is such an ambitious club owner who knows nothing about football, such a second-rate team... The cruel reality makes him feel like he is sitting on the crater. If the results are not good, the boss will naturally not leave, nor will he reflect on what went wrong with his strategy. The most common and easiest way is usually to change coaches. So the poor head coach became a scapegoat. Not only did he lose his job, but his coaching career was still stained.

※※※

After the first round of the league was over, Tony Dunn once again became the headline figure in the sports edition of the media. His sentence in the press conference after the match that "someone does not want us to win" offended the FA and the referee committee, so he received a fine of £15,000 and a one-time suspension from the FA.

The Sun laughed at Tony Dunn as the head coach with the most bans in the history of modern football. They unceremoniously pointed out that Dunn was a "idiot who didn't speak through the brain and let it out from his butt."

This time Dunn didn't fight back because he was "banned" by the club. Evan Daggerty will not allow Dunn to cause trouble for himself and the club so unobtrusively. Thanks to Don’s big mouth, Nottingham Forest has become the most difficult “thorn” in the eyes of the FA, the English Referee Committee and the Premier League Committee. No matter what the occasion, they will always be enjoyed by others. To the "special treatment".

So Dun En was very silent, and looked at the one-sided ridicule and ridicule in the media.

At this moment, another incident occurred, which distracted the media. At last no one laughed at him anymore, but the situation made him even more annoyed.

The Manchester City club announced that they have written a blank check to Nottingham Forest, begging to buy their leading striker Van Nistelrooy!

If successful, this may be the most powerful player transfer in the world. There has never been a club so contemptuous of the rules of the game in this world like Manchester City. It is inevitable that other clubs buy and sell players carefully and try to maximize the benefits. There will be many stories on the negotiating table after the transfer period every year, team managers, professional agents People, players, and coaches come together and it is a live movie scene after scene.

But the emergence of Manchester City broke this traditional transfer rule. First provoked Manchester United, Real Madrid and other giant clubs, and then seduce the star of other teams. Now they have made such an amazing move-they treat other clubs as squandering money as life's money. In that way, it's like looking high above all beings, and then telling you in an indifferent and conceited voice: "How much are your players worth? Just ask the price. There are no people in this world who we can't buy. Don't be stubborn. Just fill it in, and write as much as you want. If you write less, I still say you are not sincere."

Dunn was angry.

He found Evan and Allen: "Man City really gave a blank check?"

Evan drew a check from the folder and handed it to Dunn: "Really." His smile was a little weird, perhaps embarrassing. Allen sat silently.

Dunn saw that it was completely blank and there was no number, so he waited for him to play the number filling game. "Are these idiots playing performance art? Is this sincerely looking for us to buy people or showing us off their rich and enemy?"

In fact, Manchester City’s bosses are indeed rich in the enemy's country-because they are the country, the United Arab Emirates.

Despite this fact, Dunn would never allow them to show off this deliberately, especially in front of him.

Damn, I still have to pick up the little money in my hand this summer. It's okay for you guys, a blank check is just a flick of your hand. Who is this?

Hearing Dunn's complaint, the weird smile on Evan's face deepened, and Dunn could be sure that he was an awkward smile. And Allen continued to be silent.

"What's your opinion?" Dunn wasn't fainted yet, he knew that the opinions of the two people here need to be consulted.

Evan said: "Player deals, we all have to listen to you, Tony."

Dunn looked at Allen again.

Allen spread his hands: "Evan is right, the team is your field, Tony."

"That is to say, I am solely responsible for this matter, and you are not intervening?" Tang En, who was worried, asked again.

Evan just laughed and didn't reply. Allen raised his hands: "If you don't worry, we can sign an agreement, in black and white..."

Dunn interrupted him: "I didn't mean that, Alan."

"What I mean is that we really won't interfere with your work. We all respect every decision you make. After all, you brought the team today."

"Thank you." Tang En focused his head. "Please help me call the media to Vilford, I want to have a press conference...all the media." He said to Allen.

Allen nodded and didn't ask him what he was going to do for the press conference-fools knew what he was going to do.

"You can't let people who are thirsty for talent wait too long, we will give them an answer this afternoon." Tang En smiled.

※※※

There is one more thing Dunn must do before the press conference. Out of respect for the players' personal wishes, he must go to Van Nistelrooy to talk and hear his thoughts on this matter.

Van Nistelrooy knew about this before Dunn. Manchester City hadn't contacted him and his agent in private, and Dunn didn't believe it when he was killed.

The Dutchman's answer was rather simple, and Dun En was quite moved: "I never thought of leaving here, boss. If possible, I hope to retire here."

"The price the Arabs give you is very tempting, isn't it?" Dunn was not completely relieved, he was afraid that this would be a beautiful scene.

Van Nistelrooy chuckled: "Actually they gave me a blank check and told my agent that I want to take as much money as I want."

Dunn secretly cursed the Arabs for being too vicious. Just imagine how many players can withstand this temptation? Whatever you want...

I **** you second Arab master! Is it great to have oil? Dig, dig, dig hard. After decades of oil digging, I see what you can do!

Tony Dunn, a child from a poor family, yelled in his heart. My heart is extremely unbalanced.

"Then you..." There was a scene in his heart, but on the surface Dunn was really worried about Van Nistelrooy's defection.

"I retreat." The Dutch shooter shrugged.

Dunn almost hugged him directly.

"I didn't play football just to make a lot of money. I have made enough money. Now... I want to enjoy football. I like to play here."

"Good brother, speak loyalty!" Dunn blurted out this Chinese sentence, and regardless of whether Van Nistelrooy understood it or not, he patted the opponent **** the shoulder.

Van Nistelrooy didn't know what the boss said, he just looked at him and smiled, letting him pat his shoulder vigorously.

※※※

Now that he knows Van Nistelrooy’s mind, Dunn has no qualms about what he is about to do. He was not worried about what happened to Manchester City before, but because he was afraid of affecting himself and his players. feeling.

After the training in the afternoon, all the reporters did not go outside the training ground to block the stars. They all poured into the news hall of the Vilford training base.

Before the protagonist came, some reporters were speculating about the purpose of Dunn's sudden initiative to summon everyone to hold the press conference.

There are actually two things about him recently. One incident stabbed the FA in the **** one after another, making them furious. The other is the "blank check gate" that happened recently.

More reporters choose to have something to do with "blank checks" because they think Dunn is not someone who has to come out to convene a press conference because of a ban and £15,000. Otherwise, he might have to do it every other time. .

When Dunn and Alan Adams appeared together at the press conference, the venue gradually became quiet.

Alan sat next to Dunn, who was standing in front of a bunch of microphones. He made a "stop" gesture: "I will not accept any questions about the situation, nor will it delay everyone's time."

Then he took a folded piece of paper from his pocket and unfolded it to the reporters present.

"This is a blank check from Manchester City Club." He pointed to the piece of paper and said.

The reporter with good eyesight had already recognized it, and Dunn did not lie to them.

It really has something to do with Manchester City, which has been very popular recently.

Manchester City relied on being rich and has offended many clubs recently. There are also many people in the media circle who don't treat them much. Now Manchester City finally found the Nottingham Forest, one was so powerful because of suddenly becoming rich, the other was born to be awesome... These people decided to watch the show.

"They asked us to buy Van Nistelrooy this morning and took out a completely blank check for us to fill in the numbers. I thank them for their generosity, so I decided to give them an answer in front of the media to show Respect, friends from journalists are all my witnesses."

After speaking, he took out a pen from his arms and swept a pile of microphones, mobile phones, and voice recorders open on the table. Bend down and began to fill in numbers on the check.

After he lifted the pen and put it down, the audience suddenly became silent. The reporter who had moved closer also craned his neck to see what numbers Dunn would write.

I saw Dunn’s wrists circle, circle, circle...

About thirty seconds later, his hands had not stopped, and the scene remained silent.

In fact, Allen didn't know what kind of reply Dunn would give Manchester City before he came. He was as curious as the reporter below. So he slanted his eyes and glanced at...

At this moment, Dunn screwed on the pen cap and picked up the check—he finished writing.

Then he beckoned to the photojournalists at the end: "You can come forward and take pictures. You can't take pictures of anything there, right?"

A group of reporters rushed up with equipment and pointed the camera and camera lens at Dunn.

Seeing everyone coming, Dunn reopened the check with satisfaction and showed it to the camera.

"This is my answer." He smiled broadly.

Not only photojournalists but also journalists swarmed in. When they saw the numbers on that check, they were all stupid...

9999999999999999999999999999999.

No one can count the amount of money in the first place. In fact, I am afraid that if they are given some time, they will not be able to count the amount of money. The densely packed Arabic numeral "9" in the column of numbers squeezed the blank part so dazzlingly, let alone counting.

"Mr. Dunn, this...how much is this?" a reporter stammered.

Dunn smiled and said, "I don't know."

"what?"

"I just filled it out." Dunn's smile remained unchanged. "Until it is filled."

In this way, Dunn stood in front of the reporter holding the check he filled in casually, the flashlight flashed frantically, and the room was all white. Except for the white light in Dun En's eyes, nothing else could be seen. But he still kept smiling and holding the check.

Alan Adams, who was sitting next to him, rubbed his temples, and when he saw this scene, he felt like he was going crazy.

Mark Hughes desperately needs a world-class shooter to help his new boss achieve his goals. Al Fasim also showed his generosity as a boss. The Manchester City club, which is wealthy and wealthy, issued a blank cheque for him in order to bring in Nottingham Forest’s leading striker Luther Van Nistelrooy. As long as the Forest team fills in Van Nistelrooy's worth, the transfer will be considered a success. Nottingham Forest filled in the price code as they wished, but...

To be honest, the Manchester City club, which is a wealthy rival, may not be able to pay the money. (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please visit www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, authors are supported, and genuine reading is supported!)
