Chapter 541 The biggest own goal in transfer history
Wenger: "This is unfair. This deal should not be established. Deng Kai cannot join Manchester United. How can we play if he does this?"
"Whether it's a salary cap or financial fairness, in short, the Premier League and UEFA should restrict Manchester United. Otherwise, I suggest that next season's Premier League championship trophy can be awarded to Manchester United in advance!"
"Bild": "The Galacticos have ushered in their real opponent next season. Facing this Manchester United, which is composed of triple crown champions, Real Madrid is not favored!"
"Kicker": "Manchester United tops the Champions League winning probability prediction list! Real Madrid's terrifying lineup can only be ranked second!"
"Gazzetta dello Sport": "Milan City has made every effort, but failed to bring Deng Kai to Serie A!"
"France Football": "Manchester United opens a new era of football!"
"Record": "Manchester United finally announced that we are very happy to welcome Deng Kai, the greatest player in team history, to join us! Will your arrival make the sky in Manchester blue?"
"This rhetoric seems a bit wrong, right? Even if Ronaldo and Zidane came to Manchester United, they would not become the greatest stars in team history on the first day. After all, this is Manchester United!"
"Wait, this...fuck, is it Manchester City?"
That's right.
It was indeed a front-page headline.
You can imagine how shocked the editor-in-chief of the Record was at that time.
Within five minutes.
After repeated confirmation.
All major media outlets were confused.
Deng Kai did bring his talents to Manchester, but... to Manchester United fans, he did not bring them completely.
Because Deng Kai joined...Manchester City!
"Knowing Football Emperor": "Manchester City official announcement! Welcome Deng Kai to join the team, you will become the greatest player in the history of Manchester City!"
"Bild": "To correct you, Deng Kai joined Manchester City, not Manchester United."
"Kicker": "A false alarm! Deng Kai joins Manchester City, and there is still more European football to play!"
"The Times": "Wenger said Manchester City saved the Premier League! In return, the Premier League should prevent Manchester City from being relegated next season!"
"France Football": "Manchester, the color is starting to change! Whether it is red or blue, we will tell you next time!"
"Turin Sports": "Ferguson is unwell and is hospitalized for treatment."
"The Sun": "Cristiano Ronaldo continued to practice shooting all night long, with Sporting Lisbon's No. 10 jersey hanging in front of the goal!"
"Echo": "Sold out! Sold out! Manchester City announced that Deng Kai will wear the No. 10 jersey in the new season! The jersey was sold out by fans overnight!"
At this moment, Manchester United became the saddest person in the world.
Forget it if you don’t come.
You happened to come, but you went to the opposite door.
You said this...
Finally, Ferguson, who was bedridden, accepted an interview: "I don't know what Deng Kai was thinking. I think he made a wrong decision."
Ferguson's view is the view of most people.
Because Manchester City is just a newly promoted team.
And the foundation is visibly weak to the naked eye.
When they were promoted to the Premier League two years ago, the team was raided by the Premier League's top players.
This summer, the players in their team went their separate ways early.
At present, the team is basically full of losers.
Does Sun Jihai know?
This is Manchester City’s most capable player now!
Many media said that Manchester City's current level can only be ranked in the middle of the pack even in League One.
Deng Kai's move is, as always, a career suicide.
Gaspars, the then Barcelona chairman, commented on Deng Kai’s actions: “This is a bad player because his choices were too bad. Midfielders need wisdom the most, and from Deng Kai’s experience,
See, he has no wisdom."
"I don't deny that he performed very well for a certain period of time, but he can't last long. He has no vision. His takeoff is just because he happened to be at the center of the storm."
"The little rich man in his heart is so in line with the nature of the Oriental people."
"He is afraid of competition. He does not dare to go to the top teams in the world such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Juventus, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Bayern, and Barcelona. He is afraid of being exposed."
This passage was quoted by many media.
They generally believe that Mansour, the current owner of Manchester City, does not understand football.
I think the sports director of this team is a loser.
Wait...this team doesn't have an athletic director?
Who will be responsible for their transfer?
…
"Kai, this is the current progress of the team's transfer work." Mansour handed the document to Deng Kai.
Because of Deng Kai's busy schedule some time ago, Manchester City's recruitment work has hardly been carried out.
But everything that should be sold has almost been sold.
Of course, just because there is not much development does not mean that there is no development at all.
For example, if there is a big deal, Manchester City is about to negotiate it.
The deal was assessed as an S-level deal by Mansour's team.
s, the best deal.
"This deal is on hold." Deng Kai shook his head and denied this S-level deal.
"Ah?" Mansour was a little stunned.
"This deal is indeed good. Although Anelka did not perform well in Liverpool, his ability is beyond doubt." Deng Kai said, "The price of 20 million euros is still fair."
"Liverpool did not rip us off and we can maintain a good market relationship with them."
"But... 20 million euros is too much for Manchester City now."
"If we buy Anelka, we won't have much money, right?"
Mansour nodded: "Yes, Kai. I know, this is my problem. It will be difficult for me to raise more money this summer. But you don't have to worry too much about this problem, at least not because you are afraid of us."
If you don’t have money, just buy some players who can make up the money.”
"If we want to stay in the Premier League, we have to buy some really capable players."
"As for the money, I will take care of it. I can find a way to borrow some..."
Mansour was afraid that Deng Kai's excessive frugality would lead to the team being relegated.
Then the gain outweighs the loss.
"There is no need to go out to borrow." Deng Kai stopped Mansour, "You came out to do something great. If you go to borrow money now, wouldn't it be a failure?"
"The team you bought has been promoted to the Premier League, which proves that you have a good vision. But it does not fully prove your ability and your ideas... I will not let my partners suffer."
"Mansour, don't worry and leave everything to me."
Didi didi!
Deng Kai's cell phone rang.
Mansour motioned for him to borrow it.
"Hey, Mr. Kai, have you gone to Manchester City?" Fonte was very anxious on the other end of the phone. "Can you contact the sports director of Manchester City? I want to transfer here."
"What?" Mansour was a little happy.
Of course he knew Fonte.
Substitute central defender for the Portuguese Super League giants.
Is it a bit stretchy?
What about the substitute central defender of the team that won eight championships in two years?
Such Fonte may not be far behind if he goes to Manchester United, but if he comes to Manchester City... he might even be able to play in the main team!
