Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour was in the stands at the Etihad Stadium today.
He now serves as a figure, including the UAE Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Presidential Affairs. Although there are not many primary school affairs, he is still relatively busy and does not see the team's games in person.
I was able to come today to accompany Shahid Khan, the richest man in the US and Pakistani country. The two have friendship and business dealings.
In the football world, Mansour ranked second in the club owners and rich people list, and Shahid ranked eighth. The first is Ditrich Mathiz, the owner of Red Bull Leipzig.
Zhuo Yang's acquisition of Madiburg was made by the "Six Swordsman Sports Fund" and did not directly use personal assets. Otherwise, Mansour would be second on this list, but Shahid might drop to ninth.
There is no boss who doesn't like his team winning. Mansour is very pleased with the score of 4:0 in the first half, but he obviously won't be as unrestrained as the fans. Rich people can't be too careless.
Of course, not every rich person is reliable. For example, Zhuo is often unstoppable and always lowers the lower limit of rich people's qualifications.
Taking care of the mood of the guests around him, whenever the goal comes, Mansour just plucks up a few very decently and lets the camera take a picture.
"Shahid, the game is very good. In fact, Fulham performed well, and he was not very lucky."
"Haha..." Shahid laughed dryly. "Fulham and Manchester City...are one Zhuo Yang apart."
"Zhuo Yang is indeed very great," said Mansour: "There is no doubt that Manchester City has Zhuo Yang, which means having Zhuo Yang. However, Shahid and Zhuo Yang only have one, and Manchester City has Guardiola."
"Do you think my coach has a problem?" The rich man is not a fool.
Mansour said: "I don't know much about football, but I can still see that Fulham has problems with his tactics today."
Shahid shook his head: "Yokanovic...is a very good coach."
"Yes. But some coaches are only suitable for completing the team's phased tasks, such as the Championship upgrade and the team's primary construction." Mansour said: "Mancini, Pellegrini, they are all very good coaches.
, but the team has developed to a certain extent, and I have to sign Guardiola instead of letting them continue.”
"No, no, I have confidence in Yoka."
Rich people are very self-centered and will not be persuaded easily by others, especially Shahid, who is almost seventy years old, in front of Mansour, who is less than fifty years old.
In 2013, Shahid Khan, who already owns the U.S. NFL team Jacksonville Jaguars, spent 185 million pounds to acquire Fulham from Egyptian billionaire Fayez.
Fayez's son Dodi Fayez is the man who died in a car accident with Princess Diana in the Paris Tunnel in August 1997. He is a famous playboy and polo master.
The season when Shahid acquired Fulham, the team was relegated from the Premier League. In the 2014-15 English Championship, Fulham was double-killed by Watford, especially in the 20th round of home defeat, Shahid
The boss happened to witness the scene, and the smooth journey of Watford coached by Yokanovic surprised him very much.
That season, Yokanovic coached Watford and returned to the Premier League, but due to conflicts with the club, he left after the season with anger and ran to Maccabi, Tel Aviv, Israel to spend his time enjoying loneliness, and led the team to score as soon as he went.
The Champions League main match.
By the end of 2015, Fulham's performance in the Championship still did not improve. Shahid remembered Yokanovic, a decisive person who immediately paid a penalty for litigation.
From then on, people asked people to ask for money, as long as they could be upgraded. People only saw Shahid spending a lot of money this summer. In fact, he threw coins every year in the Championship, and finally allowed Fulham to return to the Premier League this year.
Shahid firmly did not believe that Mansour understood sports better than himself, because Mansour was just a second generation, and his money was not his ability, but he could only be reincarnated.
Moreover, Shahid acquired and successfully operated the NFL team Jacksonville Jaguars for 20 years, and that was his focus. In fact, Shahid acquired Fulham, and it was very important to use this to use it to serve the NFL and Jaguars.
The team opened the UK market.
Shahid is confident in understanding sports better, but the gap between American football and traditional football is huge. American football does not have the religious beliefs of English football, the profound society of class solidification, and American football is more entertaining, but it is not as heavy as a counterattack, because
There are no losers in the American olive.
How many years did Aburi take to recast Chelsea? How much did he invest? How many years did Mansur build Manchester City? How much did he invest?
On the issue of football, Shahid took it for granted, and simplified the routine of borrowing the US romance quickly to the top is not feasible in the Premier League. There is no shortage of money here, but the most cutting-edge stars and head coaches are missing. It also takes time here, soccer is much more than rugby.
Pay attention to the background.
Shahid hasn't figured it out yet, so he doesn't understand why the FA refused to buy such a good business as Wembley Stadium with 600 million pounds.
So he didn't like Mansour, despite trying his best to cover up, still showed the attitude of the winner and the superior to teach him. In addition, he lost a bit miserably in the first half, and Shahid couldn't help feeling unhappy.
Let's go, your grandma's legs, when I was buying second-hand tanks in Peshawar, you were still a little kid who could only lift the maid's robe.
"I admit that Fulham is not as good as your Manchester City for the time being, but we are on the right path and will perform better and better."
"I agree with you." Mansour didn't want to have a verbal dispute. "I hope Fulham will be lucky in the second half."
When I feel angry, there is sand when I hear what I hear in my ears.
"Haha, at least Fulham will not be able to concede four more goals in the second half."
"Oh? I hope so."
Mansour's slightly contemptuous tone made Shahid completely violate the axe.
"Or you and I will use this half-time bet to decide the winner in the half-time."
This seems to be a complete statement, but Mansour knows what it means.
Mansour is naturally oil, while Shahid started with the transformation of automobile parts and vehicle parts, which is still their basic base. But when capital reaches the end, it will inevitably become financial.
Recently, the consortium behind them has set their sights on a new energy venture capital project in the UK, mainly in small battery energy storage. The investment scale is not large, and the expected returns are not very high, but there is also a prospect of 800 million to 900 million pounds.
The key is stability.
It is precisely because the investment scale is small and it cannot accommodate two consortiums, so it is boring to play together. This is equivalent to ordinary people opening barbecue stalls together. Is it good to have the time to open a family of one person?
Both sides are in contact, and they hope that the other party can withdraw. It is definitely not hurt and qi, but they also need a reason.
Shahid's proposal is here.
Mansour happily promised and immediately made a verbal agreement with Shahid: If Manchester City wins four or more goals in the second half, Shahid will withdraw from the competition for venture capital projects, and Mansour will withdraw in turn.
A bet worth 800 million pounds was born, Qingpiaopiao. It seems that the rich man who has not escaped is not Zhuo.
.
The racks in the passage did not start to fight.
Zhuo Yang said that, but Manchester City teammates could not let Betinelli punch him, and the Fulhams dared not let him cause such a big deal on the road.
If this punch was hit, the consequences of Fulham's zombie became immeasurable, and Fulham is almost a brand new team. New means strangeness, which means far inferior to the hearts of Manchester City.
together.
It is indeed Manchester City's fault. No matter what, Delf and Derbych beat people first, it will be punished if they are rumored. As the captain, Zhuo Yang will definitely make things worse.
"Don't say 300,000, I don't say a punch. That's it. In the second half, I'll score three more goals and I'll hit 300,000. If I don't do it, find time to punch me again.
”
This is not a big deal, it is simply bullying people.
Bettinelli was indeed about to get angry: "I can't, I can't let you get in three more."
"Okay, then let's just say that. It's all broken up."
In this way, I bet 900 million on the stage and forcibly gambled 300,000 in the channel.
Mansour accepted the bet and did not think that he would win. He has been the boss of Manchester City for ten years and has been doing things with the UAE Football Association before, so he still knows football.
The first half is 4:0 lead, this is a league with three points, and you don’t need to accumulate goal difference, and you don’t have a mortal enemy with the opponent. This score is basically the same. Whether Guardiola or Manchester City players, you won’t do anything.
Absolute.
I agreed to make a bet, just giving Shahid a step forward and finding an excuse for myself to withdraw from the limelight competition. After all, there are many places to make money. It is pleasing to have this 900 million income, but it is not even able to lose my own status.
It was a coincidence that Zhuo Yang and Bettinelli made a bet that they did not really have to go into him three more. The main purpose was to find a step and let both parties return to the locker room as soon as possible and not be in the passage.
Zhuo Yang is confident in joining three games, but he insists on joining three more games in the first half. He doesn't dare to say that he can win it. He often depends on luck.
So the bet was to fool Betinelli and prevent him from making a big deal. Afterwards, he complained about grievances and could not make any waves.
If you can't get three, just let him punch. As long as he has the courage to hit, Zhuo Yang did not say that he wouldn't flash. Close your eyes and let you hit, as long as you can rub it, even if I lose.
.
"Don't cause trouble," said Lao Gua.
"Don't lose the ball, either." Lao Gua said again.
"In the second half, I don't care how you play, but I must not lose the ball. Zhuo Yang, have you heard it?"
The new season started with six consecutive victories, and today's seventh victory is in sight again. This is definitely the result of Guang Zong Yaozu. Compared with the 2016-17 season, the seven consecutive victories are more valuable, and the number of goals has increased significantly.
The tactical connotation of the simplicity has also reached the level.
But the only drawback is that he lost all six games, and none of them were spared.
As a perfectionist, Guardiola gradually could not tolerate it, although he was a staunch advocate of 4:3>1:0ism.
When Zhuo Yang heard the name, he naturally wanted to support the old man.
"Did you hear it? Did you hear it? You defenders, you are waiting to die all day long. The club's salary is to make you lose goals every game? We all cheer up in the second half and pay attention to your opponent."
Do you want shameless? Do you want shameless?
The defenders and Ederson Qiqi complained: For Arsenal and Ha Town, you asked us to put one, otherwise we would have achieved a clean sheet long ago...
Of course Guardiola knew that he was saying this for Zhuo Yang. You can’t treat the great charity as a good man, I was baking pancakes in the bed in the middle of the night.
The English are all just serious, while the Argentines are mostly silly. Otamendi stood up and said, "Sir, I suggest that if the goal is lost today, the team will be closed for three days to show punishment."
The slap was taken by Guardiola.
"Good idea!" Everyone's voice was in unison.
Zhuo Yang: “…”
When it comes to who is the most afraid of the entire closed training, he is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is bad. Zhuo Yang grits his teeth.
Dig a hole for me, right? I want to joke with me, right?
"I'll listen to it all. Not only can't concede the ball in the second half, I have to ensure that I can score three more. My bet cannot be in vain. If I don't do it, then Fulham...who...the goalkeeper hits me
One punch, you can eat one by one, no one can escape."
"If I lose the goal in the second half, or I don't score three, the whole team will go directly to the base hotel after the game, cut off the Internet and collect my phone, and even write a letter. I will take the lead, and the whole team will perform three-day physical training, no one will do it.
Want to run away.”
The teammates opened their horrified eyes wide: Lao Zhuo, are you really here?
"Uh~uh~uh~uh~" Zhuo Yang and Lao Gua laughed evilly together.
In another locker room, Coach Yokanovic is still trying to make personnel adjustments to make some face. Failure is inevitable, but he has to go home with his face.
He didn't know that because of two accidental bets and because of Zhuo Yang's inexplicable threats to his teammates, a shocking bloody case was brewing.
Chapter completed!
