The Glory of the Godfather

Manchester City ask Ricardo Quaresma?

Fang Jue was a little surprised.

Quaresma's outstanding performance will arouse the coveting of many teams, which he can expect.

He just didn't expect that just a few days after the season, Manchester City could not wait to make a shot.

There was a World Cup this summer, and they didn't even wait until the end of the World Cup to make a shot. This shows that Manchester City is eager.

Fang Jue is very satisfied with Quaresma's performance this season.

The Portuguese scored 10 goals and 15 assists in all competitions. This is a very dazzling data.

Moreover, it is important to know that Aston Villa's right midfielder was selected by Dessler, and Quaresma often appeared on the bench as a substitute. In this case, it is very remarkable to be able to hand over such an answer.

When Quaresma had an outstanding performance at the beginning, Fang Jue had indeed considered selling the Portuguese while Quaresma could sell for a good price.

However, with the performance of this Portuguese player getting better.

Fang Jue changed his mind.

Fang Jue is ready to give Quaresma more playing time and trust in the new season.

After all, Dessler is thirty years old and Quaresma is twenty-six years old.

From the perspective of the team's sustainable development, Quaresma is in its prime, unless there is a reason to refuse, it really should not be transferred now.

Therefore, according to Fang Jue's meaning, Aston Villa directly responded to Manchester City: Quaresma is not for sale!

...

Aston Villa refused?

They say Quaresma is not for sale?

Manchester City coach Mancini pouted.

In the afternoon, Manchester City Club President Mubarak invited the team's coach Mancini to enjoy a delicious coffee.

"Quaresma (for the construction of the team) is very important?" Mr. Chairman asked.

"Yes, this is a player who has the ability to change the game on his own." Mancini confirmed, "Quaresma has a unique skill."

"I know, a very beautiful curve ball." Mubarak said happily.

The Manchester City club chairman is more than 6 feet tall, wears a pair of glasses, and has designer-style stubble. He is one of the most trusted advisors to the Abu Dhabi royal family.

In September 2000, Sheikh Mansour personally selected him to run Manchester City.

He is also the chief executive officer and managing director of Dubai sovereign wealth fund.

Mubarak admits that he does not understand football, but he believes that money investment can make Manchester City stronger.

However, at the beginning, Mubarak was a closed door and lost face.

Manchester City bid 100 million pounds to buy Kaka, Milan club has acquiesced, but the Brazilian golden boy look down on Manchester City.

In addition, Manchester City attacked everywhere at the time, with Buffon, Robben and Ribery on the acquisition list, all of which failed.

Not only that, but Manchester City, which is waving checkbooks everywhere, has also attracted the upset of the giants, believing that this upstart is disrupting the market.

"Then buy it!" Mubarak thought for a moment. He recalled the unpleasant experience before and said categorically.

Mancini gave Mr. Chairman a surprised look. Mubarak didn't ask how much it would cost to buy Quaresma. He made the decision directly.

...

"Robert, do you know what Manchester City's biggest difficulty is now?" Mubarak asked Mancini.

"I can feel the team's ambition for the future, which does not match the team's current strength." Mancini thought for a while and said, he is very smart, which is tantamount to changing directions to buy people and improve his strength.

"Yes, not all." Mubarak said, "The biggest challenge is to find a seat at the negotiating table."

"What happened before made me quickly realize that European football has a main table and a group of clubs. This does not include Manchester City. This is the status quo.

"It is very difficult and very challenging to break this status quo. All we have to do is to become part of this organization."

Mannich was silent for a moment, thinking. He understood what the club chairman meant. At this moment, he really began to marvel at the club’s ambitions, and he also had a heartfelt feeling for the club chairman who claimed to know nothing. Tribute.

With such a high-level, coupled with the power of money, Manchester City's future is really not just a dream, he is very happy that he can participate in it.

"The transfer budget is very sufficient." Mubarak said to Mancini, and he asked Mancini to provide a list of players he wants to introduce.

...

The next morning, Mancini submitted the list.

Forwards: Aston Villa forward Diego Costa, Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko, Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli;

Midfielder: Aston Villa players Ricardo Quaresma, Gareth Bale and James Milner, Valencia player David Silva, Benfica winger Di Maria;

Defensive line: Aston Villa defender Senderos, Hamburg right defender Boateng, Benfica defender David Luiz, Lazio defender Kolarov;

Mubarak reviewed the list provided by Mancini and rejected it.

He thinks Mancini is not ambitious enough.

Finally, after careful consideration, Mancini added several names:

Liverpool striker Torres, Barcelona striker Ibrahimovic, Barcelona player Yaya Toure, Arsenal player Fabregas, Aston Villa player Sebastian Dessler.

After seeing it, Mubarak expressed his approval.

Just follow this list and go from door to door to ask if you can sell.

...

Quaresma was selected for the Portuguese national team squad.

However, because the league has just ended, players need to rest.

Therefore, Quaresma does not need to report to the national team immediately, he has about two weeks of vacation to enjoy.

In a seaside villa in Sardinia, Quaresma and the busy super agent Jorge Mendes finally had time to meet.

"Aston Villa has decided not to renew Beckham, so you will get more playing time in the new season." Mendes said.

"I communicated with Coach Fang Jue. Deisler is already 30 years old. As we age, the Germans can't compete with you."

"Then you still have to wait? It means I can only wait for time. Dessler didn't lose to me, but to time." Quaresma was a little excited.

"I played a lot less time than Dessler in a season, but the numbers are much more dazzling than him."

"Why should I be behind him?"

Mendes frowned. He was delighted by Quaresma's outstanding performance before, but now he realizes a problem:

Quaresma is a little swollen, and this kid is guilty of old problems again—

Gone.

In terms of statistics, taking the Premier League as an example, Deisler scored 9 goals and assists; Quaresma scored 5 goals and 9 assists; or the Germans have more dazzling statistics. In addition, the most important thing is that Sler is more comprehensive and stronger.

Of course, as a broker, Mendes cannot tell his employer that you are no good, you are far worse than anyone else.

Moreover, Mendes knew that the most important thing for him now was to figure out what was in Quaresma's heart and what motivated him to say this.

Just complaining for a while?

There are still other factors, such as direct influence from the outside world, such as the temptation of a certain team,

...

"Ricardo, please tell me what you think." Mendes said, "I must know what happened to analyze it better and help you."

"Mancini called me?" Quaresma said.

"Robert Mancini?" Mendes asked.

"Yes, the one from Manchester City." Quaresma nodded.

"When did it happen?" Mendes frowned. Manchester City did not contact him directly, but directly contacted the players. This is not compliant and also disrespectful to his Jorge Mendes.

"Just this morning." Quaresma said, "They called you, but all three numbers couldn't get through."

Mendes checked, and his mobile phone was dead, and there were two other mobile phones. The assistant charged him, and he forgot to stay at home.

Mendes smiled bitterly and shook his head, patronizing and teasing the little guy. He didn't pay attention when the phone was out of power. He went in a hurry and even forgot to take the bag.

"What did Manchester say?" Mendes asked.

At this moment, Quaresma's cell phone rang and he connected.

"Jorge, I was looking for you." Quaresma handed his cell phone to Mendes. He covered the microphone and said softly, "Mr. Robert Mancini."

Mendes glanced at Quaresma and answered the phone.

The other party called Quaresma to look for him at this time. This can only explain one thing: Quaresma told the other party that he would come at this time.

This is worth pondering.

At least it can explain Quaresma's inner tendencies to a certain extent.

...

Twenty minutes later.

"The conditions offered by Manchester City are indeed very generous." Mendes handed the phone back to Quaresma and said.

It's more than generous, it's very attractive, Quaresma said.

"At least, I can't get a contract like that in Villa." Quaresma said.

Manchester City promised to expel Quaresma for a five-year contract with a weekly salary of 120,000 pounds.

You know, in the Aston Villa team, the team's highest salary is Deisler's £80,000 weekly salary.

Quaresma joined Aston Villa on loan last season. His salary was borne by Inter Milan, which is also a very generous salary.

Now, after the lease and buyout, Quaresma and Aston Villa signed a new contract with a weekly salary of 55,000 pounds.

Although this salary does not make Quaresma completely satisfied, but considering that this salary is relatively high in the Aston Villa team.

Second only to Deisler, Ronaldo and Clement.

Quaresma knows that this is a commendation for his outstanding performance last season.

It also shows that the team attaches great importance to him.

Therefore, he finally accepted the contract.

However, everything is afraid of comparison.

Take a look at Manchester City, you get a weekly salary of 120,000 pounds.

You know, this is Manchester City's direct offer. Obviously, if you negotiate in depth, you may eventually get a higher salary.

(£120,000 weekly salary, or even higher) VS (£55,000 weekly salary).

The data is the most intuitive.

Money data is even more impactful.

Quaresma was happy to sign with Aston Villa, but it suddenly became worse.

...

"Ricardo, do you want to go to Manchester City?" Mendes asked.

"Yes, Jorge, I am very interested in Manchester City's great plan."

You are interested in Manchester City's great money offensive.

Mendes nodded, he understood.

There is nothing wrong with loving money and chasing money.

If Quaresma is clamoring to leave Aston Villa for other reasons, Mendes will persuade, because in his opinion, Aston Villa’s situation is very good and the team is in a rising period. More in line with the player's long-term planning and positioning.

However, Quaresma made a transfer because of money, and Mendes can't say anything or stop it.

In addition, Mendes is also interested in the newly emerging local tyrants Manchester City.

In the Premier League that just ended this season, Manchester City ranked sixth. The results cannot be said to be very good, but the momentum of the rise of this team is already evident.

Considering Manchester City's financial strength, this team will continue to wave a cheque book this summer, and the future strength and development can be expected.

Therefore, Mendes thought about these, it seems that Quaresma is also a good choice for Manchester City.

Earn a lot more money.

If the team scores can also rise.

That is very wonderful.

"I will have a meeting with Manchester City." Mendes said, "After this meeting, I want to know about Manchester City's plans and plans for your use."

"After this, we will communicate again, I must be responsible for your future."

Quaresma nodded.

This is exactly where he trusts Mendes the most. Mendes does everything, meets everything, try to achieve win-win results, and is not short-sighted, more responsible for the players, which is very important for the players.

...

Two days later.

"I talked to Manchester City." Mendes and Quaresma communicated on the phone.

"Man City's plan is very attractive ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ I personally think it is more credible, this team is very ambitious."

"The most important thing is that they have the financial strength to match this ambition."

"In addition, in terms of salary, I won a weekly salary of £150,000 for you."

Quaresma on the other end of the phone was so excited. With a weekly salary of 150,000 pounds, he couldn't wait to sign.

"I support you to go to Manchester City." Mendes said, "However, I think even if it is a transfer, we must pay attention to the method. We don't have to fall out with Aston Villa. Manchester City is bound to win you. They are transferring. The dues will be more generous."

"I hope that even if it is a transfer and leave, it will be a win-win situation and a friendly breakup." Mendes said, "So, you should not talk nonsense during this period. Think about what you say."

Quaresma understands that Mendes is telling him not to open his mouth, it is best to shut up, not to cause unpleasant things, and leave the transfer to Mendes to handle.
