Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

"It's Mr. Mansour, the owner of Manchester City Football Club," Deng Kai introduced to Fonte.

Fonte immediately declared, "Mr. Mansour, sign me! You won't regret it!"

Mansour thought it was acceptable, so he began to ask the price: "So, what is your price?"

Fonte froze: "Well, most of our rotation players are worth between eight and twelve million euros. But my contract only has one year left, so it'll definitely be cheaper, probably around five or six million."

"If Young Master Kai is willing to put in a good word for us, maybe we can even settle it for two million!"

Mansour was stunned: "Two million?"

WTF!

Fonterra, with its 20 million yuan investment, looks old-fashioned!

Fonterra's ten million dollars will be a complete mess!

Two million for Fonte... mature and steady, isn't that right!

Fonte, thinking Mansour still thought it was too expensive, immediately changed his tune: "No, no money! Not a penny! As long as Manchester City wants me, I'll settle the transfer fee with the team myself!"

Mansour is possessed.

Paying out of his own pocket?

This……

What have we, Manchester City, done to deserve this?!

Fonte, did you owe Manchester City something in your past life?

"Okay! It's a deal!" Mansour's hands were trembling as he hung up the phone.

He now finally understands why Duncan called off the €20 million bid for Anelka.

With this money in Deng Kai's hands, he might be able to buy... several Anelkas?

Deng Kai: Cough cough, be a little bolder.

That evening, Record newspaper ran a headline: "Sporting Lisbon and first-team player Fonte terminate contract; Fonte's contract is bought out for two million euros!"

Just as people were trying to figure out the meaning of this deal, the Record newspaper added a report: "Fonte reveals his plane ticket! He announces he's joining Manchester City for free! He's personally spending two million to support Duncan and show his loyalty!"

Bora newspaper: "A player like Fonte is a disgrace! Sporting Lisbon will lose at least five million by letting him go!"

Record: "Sporting Lisbon congratulates Fonte on joining Manchester City and wishes him well in building a strong new home for the King of Alvalade!"

Of course, although it was said that Fonte paid out of his own pocket, Deng Kai eventually found a way to make up the difference for Fonte.

After all, Fonte is just a bench player, and two million euros might be his entire fortune!

Some players become corrupt when they get too rich.

But some players, when they run out of money, will become corrupt.

Solving the problems of players' basic needs and assets is an important means for a team to maintain unity and fighting spirit.

This is why the NBA will be providing economics courses for players in the future.

Fonte: Um, well... Kai, do you have no idea about the spending power of your fan group? I've made quite a bit of money in the group!

Deng Kai: Um, well... Special, is it possible for me to know their spending power, but just hoping that you will stop embezzling public funds?

Fonte: ? ? ?

Fonte: Don't send me to jail! I'll vomit it all up! I'll pay it back with my salary! I'll open a football training school during the off-season to make up for it!

With the arrival of the Fonte gift package.

Soon, a series of transactions occurred.

Manchester Evening News: "Second signing after Deng Kai! Manchester City secures Yaya Toure for a friend's fee of four million euros!"

The Times: "Wenger slams Sporting Director of Lisbon as insane! They bought Toure Jr. for six million, who said he was not for sale, and then sold him to Manchester City for four million?"

Sporting Lisbon responded: "This 'not for sale' means it's only for Manchester City."

Wenger, dead!

Manchester Evening News: "Third signing after Duncan! Manchester City snatches Maicon for €4 million! Inter Milan's €7 million bid failed!"

At this moment, Manchester City fans are happy.

They felt the influence of the King of Alvalade at Sporting Lisbon.

"Deng Kai is amazing! That's incredible!"

"Still calling me Deng Kai? Calling me 'Young Master Kai' means you've been a fan for a long time, calling me 'Emperor Kai' means you have enough respect, calling me 'Coach Kai' means you understand tactics, calling me 'Director Kai' means you understand economics! Calling me 'Kai' means you're one of us!"

"Sporting Lisbon feels like our brother team!"

"A brothers' team? Let's be bold, a father-son team! And with Chinese-style parents, the kind who ask for nothing in return!"

"I'm in tears! Sporting Lisbon will now be my second favorite team forever!"

"To be honest, what does it mean to be successful? Deng Kai is what it means to be successful! We saw Deng Kai off along the ten-mile-long streets of Lisbon! He may be gone, but the team will always be our home!"

"Kai's success" quickly became a unique standard.

But in the world of football, it's almost impossible for a player to reach that level.

The home team is already showing great respect for the player by asking for a few million less.

Where would someone like Deng Kai appear?

Of course, other teams can't feel the happiness that Manchester City enjoys.

All they could say sourly was, "Deng Kai is just living off his past glory!"

Not only did they not leave the team with a transfer fee, they also poached players from their former club!

Moreover, what they bring may not all be of high quality.

Fonte, Maicon, and Toure are just three substitutes.

It won't amount to anything.

Why didn't you bring Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, or Kaka?

Deng Kai ignored all these comments.

Is it really true that a small favor is appreciated, but a large one breeds resentment?

Are you still not satisfied?

……

"Kay, we've reached an agreement with Leeds United. They're willing to accept a price of five million euros," Deschamps reported to Deng Kai.

Manchester City had previously contacted Leeds United in an attempt to acquire Robbie Fowler.

Although this former Liverpool striker's form has declined rapidly due to his poor lifestyle, his killer instinct remains and can still help Manchester City in their fight to avoid relegation.

But Leeds United's asking price is not low.

Twelve million euros!

To be fair, this price is not outrageous, and is even quite reasonable.

Mansour had almost agreed before.

As a result, when Deng Kai arrived, he first left Leeds United out of the spotlight for a while.

Then they opened three gift packs from Sporting Lisbon.

Leeds United panicked immediately.

They themselves didn't want to use Fowler, and they were facing a financial crisis, so they had to sell it no matter how cheap it was.

Ultimately, after several encounters, Leeds United spun off Fowler, a injury-prone player, for five million euros.

"Genius Killer Joins Manchester City! Can Fowler Find a New lease on life with Duncan's help?"

Former UEFA Cup final opponents are now teammates! Fowler marvels: Duncan's growth has exceeded everyone's expectations!

Behind the €5 million fire sale lies Fowler's injury-prone nature! He can only play a maximum of 20 games a season, making him unsuitable for leading a team!

Fowler's arrival did not shift the Premier League's focus to Manchester City.

But Guardiola can.

Another major reinforcement! Pep Guardiola joins Manchester City on a free transfer; having retired from the Spanish national team, he can now dedicate himself entirely to the club!

Still at his peak! Whether it was last season or the World Cup, Guardiola has been a key player for the team, and he still possesses the level of a top-class midfielder!

Injury Report! Guardiola has been plagued by injuries, and his availability may be a problem!

Guardiola: My main job at Manchester City will not be playing football. I will assist the team captain in maintaining stability in the dressing room and will also assist the manager in training and tactical planning!

Part-time work, part-time study! A player in name, but an assistant coach in reality! Guardiola joined Manchester City to prepare for a coaching transition!

After figuring out Guardiola's background, the English media saw through Manchester City's true colors as a mere imposter.

If you're so capable, find a real, well-known football player.

Stop with these two or three lowly soldiers jumping around.

Exclusive report from Dongqiudi! Brescia's attempt to renew Roberto Baggio's contract fails! The "Melancholy Prince" joins Manchester City on a free transfer! He will play at Maine Road next season!

???

Roberto Baggio?

A handsome older man with a small braid?

A melancholy prince?

Are you sure it's not a duplicate name?

This...this is a true world superstar!

This is a shining star of Serie A! One of the key figures in the mini-World Cup!

Baggio is to Italy what Matthäus is to Germany!

I like playing football on the ground: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him.
