Chapter 366 Lying Down and Getting Shot
"Mr. Mancini, Manchester City were eliminated from the Europa League by Sporting Lisbon, but Southampton beat Sporting Lisbon three-to-one in the semi-finals to avenge Manchester City, what do you think?"
A reporter asked with a smile.
It looked like Manchester City was begging Southampton to help him out.
"I don't think so. We have a very different playing field between Manchester City and Southampton. There is no comparison."
Mancini replied hesitantly.
The subtext is that we are in the Premier League, they are in the Championship, and I don't take them seriously at all.
"It's true that there is no comparability. The favourites to win the Premier League were eliminated, but the British Championship team successfully advanced. How to compare?"
There was a burst of laughter in the entire press conference hall.
Rao is Mancini, who was already mentally prepared, and couldn't help but feel a fire in his heart.
Fortunately, a month ago, he was still gloating about Ferguson's face-to-face slap in the face of the media, and almost fell into trouble.
Well now, by coincidence, Ferguson's treatment, he also enjoyed.
It's just that this is more like a humiliation to the arrogant Italians.
But the reporter obviously did not intend to let it go.
It's hard to be able to create a topic. If they are not good at using it, they really shouldn't be called paparazzi.
"Then use comparable, three major cups, League Cup, FA Cup and Europa League, Manchester City were eliminated, but Southampton either had the last laugh or reached the final, what do you think?"
Mancini was obviously on fire now, and snorted coldly, "I said it, I don't have any opinions!"
His temper was better, at least he didn't get mad on the spot like Ferguson did.
Because he knew in his heart that these reporters were just waiting for him to go crazy.
However, when the reporter asked about Southampton for the third time, Mancini finally couldn't bear it anymore, stood up angrily, threw a harsh word, and left the table in anger.
"Southampton, Southampton, you all wait and see, next season in the Premier League and see what they can do!"
The implication is that Southampton, which you keep talking about, is playing tricks in the Championship and cup matches. If you really want to go to the most brutal Premier League arena, they are not as good as our Manchester City!
...
When Mancini's ruthless remarks at the press conference appeared on the football news through TV, the executives who were sitting in Yang Huan's office were immediately dissatisfied.
Did you say that?
How did we Southampton mess with you?
If you want to refute the reporter, there is no need to step on us, right?
"This time, I was shot while lying down!" Yang Huan shook his head with a wry smile.
"This guy Mancini has not been able to secure his position as a handsome man. What qualifications does he have to criticize others?"
"That is, play the Premier League next season and see if we don't kill them Manchester City!"
"Better beat them all over the place!"
"It's not that they haven't played. Manchester City lost to us in the cup last season, but they are not convinced!"
Everyone, you say it one by one,
But they were not angry.
It would be too useless to be completely provoked because of Mancini's words on TV.
Most of the big family take these words as a joke, just listen to it.
"By the way, are Gareth Bell and Modric's agent here yet?"
Yang Huan looked at the time, the two parties had made an appointment for fifteen o'clock in the afternoon, and now it was almost the same time, but no one was seen yet.
Ron Gurley shook his head with a wry smile when he saw Yang Huan looking at him.
"Modric's agent called just now, saying that there was a temporary delay, and Gareth Bell's agent got through the phone, but didn't answer."
After Sun Yue heard this, he laughed, "It's still an old trick!"
The same technique was used by Roselle when Yang Huan planned to introduce Ibrahimovic from Barcelona.
To put it bluntly, it is a means of negotiation.
Modric's agent is the vice chairman of Dinamo Zagreb club, Zdravko Mamić.
Southampton have dealt with him a few times before and have formed a good friendship.
In recent years, a number of good stars have emerged in Croatian football. Southampton has successively introduced rookie central defender Jedwai, frontcourt attacking genius Halilovic, and midfielder from Dinamo Zagreb. The genius Kovacic.
Both are the hands of Mamić and Pini Zahavi.
Gareth Bell's agent is an old British agency. This company has represented more than 500 players in the agency business, all over the world, and they have been Bell's agent since he was sixteen years old. , that year they brought Bale from Southampton to Tottenham Hotspur.
The company's chairman, Jonathan Barnett and David Manas, are well-known vampires in European football circles.
Yang Huan was already mentally prepared. Both of these two big brokers were famous and hard to talk about.
Especially Jonathan Barnett.
"What's the reaction from the outside world now?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.
Since people like to show off, let them do it, there is no need to get angry.
If he really wanted to be angry about such a trivial matter of sesame and mung beans, Yang Huan would have been pissed to death long ago.
Because the large and small companies under his command are conducting business negotiations almost every day, what kind of negotiation tricks have you not seen?
"No reaction!" Sun Yue shook his head, "But I heard that Manchester United had contacted Tottenham Hotspur and wanted to bring in Gareth Bell, but they didn't make a specific offer, and Manchester United definitely couldn't come up with that. More cash."
Now that Manchester United is heavily in debt and is planning to restructure its debts, I am afraid that they will not be able to extract so much cash, so they can only take mortgages.
Southampton's offer is not low, the more attractive is a cash deal, which is unmatched by Manchester United.
Peter Kenyon, who had never spoken, listened and sighed rather embarrassedly.
"Manchester United finally realized the loss after selling Cristiano Ronaldo!"
Everyone immediately turned to Peter Kenyon.
The former Manchester United CEO shook his head and smiled bitterly: "David Gill's operational ability is not bad, but his vision is very poor, even worse than Ferguson!"
"How do you say?" Nicola Cortez couldn't help but ask curiously.
He is also the executive chairman of Southampton, which is quite interesting.
"As we said before, professional football has ushered in a new era, but there are still quite a few people who are still looking at football in the new era with the thinking and vision of the past, just like the entertainment of stars. Development, this is an irreversible trend and trend.”
"Around 2009, the three most attractive stars in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Messi, among them, Kaka was limited by his position, coupled with the overall decline of Milan and Serie A. , so the two biggest stars at the time were Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi."
"Many fans say that there are no superstars in professional football today, and it is not as good as in the 1990s and early 2000s. In fact, the opposite is true. Now there are very, very many, because with the rise of the Internet, the ability to create stars is better than in ten or twenty years. I don’t know how much stronger it was before, and I don’t know how many times more meticulous football tactics were, how could there be no superstars?”
Everyone can't help nodding. The so-called current stars are far inferior to the past. This is all a hooligan.
Because you can't argue with that.
Can't travel through time and space, Guan Gong fights Qin Qiong, right?
"If you take away Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, professional football is more prosperous today than it was in the 1990s and early 2000s, with more and brighter stars and more intense competition."
Peter Kenyon's statement is interesting.
But I have to admit that the stars of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are really too dazzling. without
It is so dazzling that countless fans mistakenly believe that today's professional football talents have withered.
"I still remember when he was selling Cristiano Ronaldo, Ferguson told David Gill that Cristiano Ronaldo was worth at least £150 million, and David Gill thought it was impossible, ridiculous. So I offered £80 million, and Real Madrid agreed."
Everyone nodded again.
The media has also reported this matter, it is not a secret.
"Ferguson seems to be old and stubborn, but in fact he is not stubborn. He has been in charge of Manchester United for 20 or 30 years, and he does not have the ability to keep pace with the times. It is impossible to achieve self-improvement. His vision is very vicious, and he can see through the core at a glance. ."
"That is, if Real Madrid wants to compete with Barcelona's Messi, it has to buy Cristiano Ronaldo, it can only be him!"
"This is the only option, even if you introduce Kaka!"
As a midfielder, Kaka's scoring has always been a weakness.
To put it a bit biased, the most fascinating thing about football is scoring goals. The vast majority of new fans don't care how effective your tactics are and how effective they are. They focus on one thing.
Who has the most goals!
Therefore, when Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi scored goals, they were actually brushing their own fame.
This brush directly put both of them into the ranks of super football stars.
What's the most exciting news for Southampton's fans in the past year?
Goals from Ibrahimovic and Drogba!
The two top centre-forwards kept scoring their own goals in the Championship, FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League, and competed wildly.
You score one today, I score two tomorrow, and you score a hat-trick the day after tomorrow.
In this way, the contest between you and me, the media is smashed, and the fans also follow the carnival.
The only regret is that the British Championship has lost a little influence.
If it is in the Premier League, then hehe!
"Florentino himself knows this very well, so let alone Manchester United's £80 million offer, even if it is 100 million or 200 million, as long as he can afford it, he will agree, because he is worth The higher it is, the more amazing the impact that comes with it, and £150 million at the time was exactly what Real Madrid could afford."
"It can be said that in this transfer, David Gill's stupidity cost Manchester United £70 million in vain!"
After Peter Kenyon's explanation and analysis, everyone suddenly realized.
"Then why do you say that Manchester United lost a lot after selling Cristiano Ronaldo?"
Nicola Cotes thought of the question just now.
Peter Kenyon nodded and smiled, "Because Manchester United's commercial value has not increased but decreased over the past few years after selling Cristiano Ronaldo. If it weren't for the bullish overall influence of the Premier League in recent years, Manchester United would not be able to sustain it now. ."
After everyone heard it, they all looked at Peter Kenyon curiously, wanting to hear his thoughts.
"Ferguson has a very vicious vision, but as a head coach, he thinks about problems first from a football perspective, so he decided to sell Cristiano Ronaldo, which directly led to Manchester United becoming leaderless in terms of the entire club's marketing."
"If Manchester United is likened to a crown, then Cristiano Ronaldo is the most splendid jewel in the crown. If this jewel is lost, the crown may still be the crown, but it has become unremarkable and lost the core value.”
"It can almost be said that by selling Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United's commercial value has rapidly fallen from super-first-class to first-class, while Real Madrid has used Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka to go directly from the quasi-first-class during Calderon's time. , even second-class, has transformed into super-class, keeping pace with the Grand Slam Barcelona!"
The shopping mall is like a battlefield. As the commander of the star army of Real Madrid, Florentino has excellent vision, means and courage, which is amazing.
On the contrary, Manchester United under the helm of David Gill, as Peter Kenyon said, lost the opportunity to become a super-class team, which is also a pity.
"Gareth Bale has certainly given Manchester United hope that if done right, he has the hope of reaching the impact and commercial value of Cristiano Ronaldo in 2008, so Manchester United will want him."
"Well said!" Yang Huan nodded with a smile.
Many of Peter Kenyon's ideas coincided with him.
Only a person like Mr. Bald who is so familiar with Manchester United and has unique insights into football marketing can say such a thing.
"It's a pity that Manchester United is now heavily in debt, and I'm afraid they are not qualified to compete with us!"
Sun Yue laughed and ridiculed Manchester United.
"As long as Manchester United does not get rid of the heavy debt crisis, it will be difficult to return to the peak of 0809. Chelsea were on the right path, but now Abramovich has turned around halfway, Arsenal and Liverpool can be Neglecting it, Manchester City has not yet found a business direction, and there are many problems within the team."
"In the next few years, the Premier League will be headless and a melee, and this is our chance for Southampton to emerge!"
Peter Kenyon said these words loudly, and his expression was indescribably excited.
His bright eyes seemed to see a bright future.
