"Rist, I came to Manchester City, and I represent the face of a big Arab family."

The Premier League is everything.This is already the consensus of all European football agents.Although Serie A has Juventus, Inter Milan and Naples attacking in the transfer market, the overall environment of Serie A is not good.The attractiveness of the current Serie A has dropped drastically, not to mention some small teams, even the attractiveness of mid-range teams has dropped drastically.Even Milan, the most important force in Serie A, is now quiet during the transfer period.

In the current Serie A, only Juventus, Inter Milan, and Naples are attractive to introduce good players.But they also slowly lose their attractiveness.In a few years, Rist understands that few players are willing to join Serie A when they are playing stars.

The La Liga clubs are all small and medium teams.La Liga is because the Spanish economy is not good, and the economic situation of the major clubs in La Liga is too bad.Almost ten percent of the clubs in Spain are in debt.So it's impossible to have any great moves in the transfer market.Only in the Premier League, even mid-range teams can throw 3000 million pounds in the transfer market.

Although Rist has a lot of partners, he only cares about some important clubs in his current position.There is nothing important, and generally it will not appear easily.And those small clubs are not enough for Rist to show up in person.

Manchester City is different.Manchester City is a major client of Rist. From the beginning of the cooperation between Rist and Manchester City, Rist has made a lot of money on Manchester City.And in the future, Manchester City will also be an important base for Riester.Rist believes that it is not a big problem to get hundreds of millions of euros from Manchester City within a few years.Therefore, Rist is very concerned about Manchester City.

This time at Manchester City's Etihad home court, Riester watched Manchester City's home game against Aston Villa.Sitting with Rist was besides Alphahim who Rist was familiar with.And there is Sheikh Mansour, the big boss behind Manchester City.

At present, everything in Manchester City is managed by Al Fahim, but in terms of status in the Abu Dhabi consortium, Al Fahim can't keep up with Sheikh Mansour even if he flatters.Mansour is the real heart of the Abu Dhabi consortium, the youngest son of the former president of the United Arab Emirates.His own assets alone amount to more than 140 billion pounds. Coupled with his status, he is the external representative of the Abu Dhabi consortium.

As usual, Manchester City is managed by Al Fahim, but when Mansour came to Manchester City, Al Fahim was Mansour's follower.Mansour, a group of wealthy second-generation Middle Easterners, basically received higher education in Europe and the United States and can speak several languages.But Mansour's attire is typical of Middle Eastern Arabs.

"I see."

Rister nodded.Mansur came to England.The English media didn't have a good impression of him.Even many English media have great resistance to these Middle Eastern capitals.Not even comparable to Abramovich back then: "These chiefs actually don't understand football at all. They buy a yacht today, a plane tomorrow, and a football club the day after tomorrow. It's purely for fun. They have a lot of money. For bathing. So other than entertainment. They have nothing else to pursue."

This is the prevailing view in the English media.From their point of view, rich people in the Middle East don't know what football is, and they just come to play because they have a lot of money and don't know what to do.Mansour was not convinced by their sarcastic attitude.

Middle Eastern tycoons like Mansour are not very popular in England's upper class.It's just a group of local tyrants who made their fortunes from oil.I really think of myself as a character.

"Rist, now the whole Middle East knows that Manchester City is the club of our Al Hayan family. So I want to run him the best. If there are players as good as Torres, as long as you can persuade them to join Manchester City, then I don't skimp on money."

As the English media said, Mansur and the others who have more money can take a bath.Therefore, what he cares most about is money, on the contrary, what he cares most about is face.It's the face of their family.Football is also a very influential sport in the Middle East, so he wants to make Manchester City successful.Let other families in the Middle East see the success of their Al Hayan family.

"Manchester City will definitely succeed."

Rister nodded.Manchester City has the backing of the Abu Dhabi consortium, and it would be too bad if it didn't succeed.To put it bluntly, commercial football is a game of money. As long as there is money, there is nothing impossible to succeed.What's more, an investment like Manchester City will definitely succeed.Although Pellegrini's ability to integrate the new team is not as good as Mourinho's, it is also very powerful.

Historically, Pellegrini entered Real Madrid in 09. Although he encountered a powerful Barcelona, ​​he failed to win any championships.But Pellegrini was in Real Madrid for a year, and he was quite good at training Real Madrid.Very strong in La Liga.After that, Pellegrini came to the new upstart Malaga, and successfully trained Malaga into a La Liga powerhouse, and also entered the quarter-finals of the Champions League, almost knocking out Dortmund.

The important thing is that both clubs spent a lot of money to change nearly half of their players.But Pellegrini's integration works very well.It didn't happen because of too many substitutions that the cooperation was unfamiliar.The same is true in Manchester City this time. After a period of competition, Manchester City slowly showed his strong strength.

"Modric, Modric got the ball. Sidwell came up, Modric, good technique. Modric passed Sidwell!"

Modric is definitely a true talent.He is generally a midfield organizer, and has his own advantages and disadvantages compared with Alonso.Alonso is tougher than Modric, with better defense and better long pass scheduling ability.But Modric is better than Alonso in ball control, escape, and breakthrough ability, and his short pass coordination is also better than Alonso.

Pellegrini is the coach of Chile and has coached in Spain for a long time.Therefore, his coaching prefers technical players.And now there are not one or two skilled players in Manchester City. Modric, David Silva, Torres, and Hleb are all players with excellent skills, and they can play the offense that Pellegrini hopes.

Although Modric is the organizer of the midfield, his ability to get in after dribbling is still very good.This time too, Modric dribbled the ball away from Sidwell suddenly, leaving a huge gap in Villa's midfield.Villa's midfield defense is Leo Cork and Sidwell, and the two wings are Pedro Fei and Milner.After Modric broke through Sidwell, the front was empty.

"Modric, pick the ball!"

Villa's two centre-backs are Curtis Davies and Zat Knight.Among them, Curtis is 1.8 meters eight, while Knight is 1.9 meters eight.Both of them are very traditional British central defenders. They both have strong frontal defensive ability and high-altitude defensive ability. The problem is that their sense of position and flexibility are not good.

Modric picks a pass and Torres speeds away from between them like a loach.Although the two of them saw Torres, it was too late to chase him.Torres is a speed forward. As long as he is fast, few central defenders can catch up with him.What's more, Villa's two central defenders are both big defenders, and their speed is not their strong point.I can only watch Torres succeed in anti-offside.

"Torres, Torres is offside. Torres, shoot!"

"Friedel, he failed to catch this ball."

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo".

"In the 22 minutes of the game, Manchester City led Villa [-]-[-] with Torres' goal. After Torres came to Manchester City, he continued his excellent form in Atletico Madrid. He has scored seven goals in ten rounds. Torres as Manchester City The biggest signing of the season and it didn't disappoint."

Money, what money does.Villa also spent more than 3000 million pounds this season, and it is also a major spender in other leagues.But compared with Manchester City, an upstart who spent 5000 million euros, it pales in comparison.

The new players who started the game alone included Torres, David Silva, Hleb, Thiago Silva, and Barry.The transfer fees of these people add up to more than 7000 million euros.The effect is of course far better than Vera.

In fact, let alone the starting players, you can know what luxury is just by looking at Manchester City's bench. De Jong with 2000 million euros, Baines with tens of millions, Krarov with 600 million pounds, and Sabareta with more than [-] million euros are all on the bench.

"it is good."

Seeing Torres' goal, Mansour was very happy and applauded excitedly.Then he smiled at Rist and said, "Rist, Torres performed too well. No loss, no loss."

Torres' transfer fee is very high, but for Mansour it is a drop in the bucket and he doesn't care about the money at all.As long as he performed well, he was satisfied.

"Sheikh, Manchester City's strength is already very good now. As long as they use one or two more transfer periods to introduce a few players, then Manchester City will have the strength to compete for the championship."

Manchester City's current strength is good, but it is not so easy to win the championship.Because any heavyweight champion cannot be won with a single lineup.The current Manchester City and the addition of some important players will have the strength to hit the Premier League championship. Of course, it is not impossible to pursue the Champions League if they continue to invest.

"Well, I look forward to that time.; Rist, I am very patient. I will not ask for any championship within one or two years. I can give Coach Pellegrini three or four years. I hope that by then To see a strong Manchester City."

"He won't let you down." (To be continued...)
