Chapter 649 They Know I Will Score Tonight!
The Emirates Stadium erupted when referee Andre Marina blew the whistle to end the match.
Arsenal defeated Manchester City [-]-[-], scored three points at home again, and also defended their home clean sheet record since [-], which is the only one in the four major European leagues.
But in the VIP box at the Emirates Stadium, the faces of the Manchester City giants are not so good.
Only Mansur, who was wearing a suit and tie, didn't seem to care very much, and still had a smile on his face.
"Our performance doesn't seem to be very good," Mansour said with ease.
Mubarak, Soriano and Begiristan all looked embarrassed and nodded helplessly.
"The team started in a hurry. We took over in a hurry, especially in the summer transfer. We didn't play well in the first half, and the team was still in the relegation zone after the half. Although there was a good rebound after the winter break, in general, it was still not satisfactory." Begiristain explained with a guilty conscience.
After hearing this, Mansour laughed and waved his hands, "I know and I understand. After all, professional football is not about playing games. It is impossible to form a good team, buy players, and see the effect immediately. That can only exist in the game. How can it be possible in reality?"
After hearing this, Soriano and Begiristan secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
If you really want to talk about Manchester City's performance this season, it is definitely a joke.
A huge amount of money was invested, but before the winter break, this team was in the relegation zone. This situation cannot be justified anyway.
Both the coaching level of Mark Hughes and the performance of the players in the team are quite disappointing, including Robinho, who was introduced with huge sums of money, so that the Brazilian superstar secretly left the club without notifying anyone in January and returned to Brazil.
After finally returning, Robinho was caught in a sexual assault scandal again. A girl accused Robinho of sexually assaulting her in a nightclub in Leeds, north of Manchester. Robinho was arrested by the police and questioned.
Frankly speaking, although Manchester City officially expressed their full support for Robinho, and the matter has subsided, Robinho's state has also improved recently, driving Manchester City's overall performance to pick up, but the management is very disappointed with his character and performance.
If Robinho hadn't left the team without authorization in January, maybe Kaka's transfer to Manchester City would not have had so many twists and turns, maybe Kaka would have already played for Manchester City.
This guy also looks like a troublemaker!
……
"I am afraid that the results of this season will be difficult to meet expectations. We are considering terminating Mark Hughes' coaching contract according to the terms of the contract. Guardiola has also made it clear that he is willing to coach Manchester City. He has a very detailed team plan."
Begiristain mentioned his plans for this summer as part of his job as technical director.
Mansour has heard of Guardiola, knows him, and knows that his career is brilliant, but he has almost no coaching experience. He only led the Barcelona youth team for two years. The most notable thing is that he entered the selection range of Barcelona before. He had a PK match with Mourinho, but unfortunately, he lost to the Portuguese madman.
But both Soriano and Begiristan strongly recommend Guardiola, believing that he can lead Manchester City to success.
"I believe in your vision and professionalism, and I also believe that Guardiola will succeed in Manchester City as you said, and when I was in Abu Dhabi, I heard that Sudong had a good talk with him and spoke highly of him. This is a good sign." Mansour laughed.
Soriano and Begiristan looked at each other, and they both noticed the clue.
At first glance, there is nothing wrong with this sentence, but in fact, Mansour specifically mentioned Su Dong, whether it is intentional or unintentional, it is actually revealing a signal, that is, Su Dong admires Guardiola very much.
This is why Mansour decided to listen to the opinions of the two and hire Guardiola.
"To be honest, I can understand the rush to take over in the first season, the winter break is limited, and we have no time to start a lot of work, but I still hope that in the new season, the team can have a better mental outlook and better game ability. In addition, we also need to strengthen the management of the team, so as not to let certain players tarnish the team's brand."
Mansur's reminder is already quite obvious.
Both Soriano and Begiristan also knew that what he was talking about was actually Robinho.
The introduction of Robinho was not the decision of the two, but a product of the handover process of Manchester City at that time. According to the signing standards of Soriano and Begiristan, Robinho is actually open to discussion.
Facts have also proved that he caused a toss in Manchester City and caused damage to the club's brand image.
One of the important purposes of Mansour's taking over Manchester City is advertising. Manchester City is the signboard of the Abu Dhabi consortium in Europe and even the world, so he cannot tolerate the wanton defilement of the signboard.
Robinho took Manchester City's high salary, but smashed Manchester City's signs, this is not allowed.
Both Soriano and Begiristan knew that Mansour was asking them to strictly control the team, which is what they wanted to do next, and Guardiola's management requirements were also very high. Therefore, on this issue, Manchester City has the same attitude.
"We have big problems in defense and offense this season, especially in central defenders. There are not many world-class central defenders at the moment. Mendes happens to have one under his command, and that is Pepe, who plays for Bayern Munich. He is one of Su Dong's best friends."
"Oh?" Mansur became interested.
He never concealed that he was a fan of Sudong, and he wanted to introduce Sudong to Manchester City, but he also knew that it was very difficult to achieve this, because it is impossible for Sudong to condescend to join Manchester City, which can't even play in European competitions.
So, he took the advice of Soriano and Begiristan and adopted the strategy of building a nest to attract phoenixes.
He has to strive to manage Manchester City first, and the results have improved, so that there is a possibility of persuading Su Dong and other stars to join. Otherwise, everyone will have doubts about Manchester City just like Kaka.
With the arrival of Guardiola, Manchester City will definitely go through a round of reshuffle this summer.
In fact, even if Guardiola does not reorganize the team, a reshuffle is inevitable, because many players in Manchester City's current team actually joined the team for money. Now, Manchester City's performance has not improved.
Robinho's trouble like this may not be without consideration in this regard.
"You tell Guardiola to come up with a team plan as soon as possible. If you want money, we have it. If you want people, you can buy people. I hope the team's performance can improve as soon as possible. Many people and I are looking forward to seeing the effect of investment. It can't be like this season." Mansour rarely said something serious.
Mansur, who always had a kind smile, suddenly said this, which made both Soriano and Begiristan aware of the seriousness.
"Don't worry, we will do our best!"
"Yeah, we have confidence in Guardiola."
Both executives gave assurances, and Mansour was naturally relieved, and his usual smile returned.
"Sudong also needs to get in touch more. As long as he wants to leave Bayern, we will make a move immediately. I allow you to negotiate directly with him. The annual salary, signing fee, transfer fee and so on are all up to you. I only hope to see him join Manchester City and play for our team." Mansur said expectantly.
Soriano and Begiristan hurriedly agreed, but they also knew in their hearts that it would not be so easy to introduce Su Dong.
Su Dong has revealed more than once that he will not leave Bayern in the near future.
Sometimes, they didn't even think about it, why would Su Dong stay at Bayern?
However, this has an advantage for Manchester City, that is, it is more likely to poach Su Dong.
The whole world knows that he will leave Bayern sooner or later, and they are all looking forward to it.
It is reported that former Real Madrid chairman Florentino is coming back, and the player he most wants to introduce is Su Dong.
Su Dong, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, if these three superstars go to Real Madrid, Real Madrid in the new season is bound to reproduce the glory of the Galacticos.
However, this is not good news for Manchester City.
Soriano and Begiristan also secretly decided that they must strengthen contact with Su Dong and Mendes.
If Su Dong were to go to Real Madrid, there would really be nothing wrong with Manchester City.
……
Mansour sent Soriano and Begiristan away, and he will continue to stay in London.
This time when he came to the UK, he has been living in London, mainly dealing with some business of the group's investment, and watching some games in time.
And three days later, Arsenal will face Bayern at home. As a fan of Sudong, Mansour certainly does not want to miss it.
He had already ordered someone to book a box, just to witness Su Dong's Champions League style with his own eyes.
…………
…………
On the evening of April [-]th.
When Sudong walked into the Emirates Stadium, he didn't know that in the VIP box above his head, Mansour was watching him enter the stadium expectantly, and he didn't know what happened to Manchester City.
At this moment, walking into the Emirates Stadium, what he felt was the tide of boos from Arsenal fans.
Clearly, he is the most unpopular player at the Emirates Stadium.
Especially the way he treated Senderos that year made Arsenal fans hate him so much.
What a good player, who was suddenly ravaged out of his psychological shadow, and has been reduced to mediocrity ever since!
Is this what people do?
Because of this, Arsenal fans booed very loudly.
"Su, how much do they have to hate you to boo you like this?" Pepe asked very puzzled.
The surrounding Bayern players were also amused, who said it wasn't?
Letting go of all the other Bayern players, but catching Su Dong booing and cursing, this is definitely a deep hatred.
Su Dong has long been used to this kind of treatment, looked around the stands around him, grinned, and laughed.
"It's simple, they know I'm going to score tonight, and more than one!"
He seemed confident.
