Chapter 41 Manchester City CEO

Villa expressed his own thoughts and positions, but probably out of professional ethics, he did not mock Middlesbrough, and David did not have so many scruples.

After Villa left, the reporters came to the club together and applied to interview David. This time, David opened his mouth in front of the media.

As Villa said, he belongs to Notts County and is not something that Middlesbrough can take away if he feels good about himself. £200w? Perhaps this is a number that many League Two teams can't refuse. But we in Notts don't care.

Villa is an excellent player, he has a complete plan for his career, Notts County is a good platform, maybe going to a Premier League team is also a good choice, but I don't think he will go. A Premier League team that can be slaughtered by Notts County is better off staying in Notts County than that.

Mr McLaren should probably be more pragmatic. Look at Middlesbrough's poor results. If I were a Middlesbrough fan, I would not want such a fool to continue to sit in the manager's position.

David didn't spare Middlesbrough and McLaren any face in his words.

His statement suddenly made Middlesbrough a joke in the Premier League.

All four defeats are at the bottom of the standings. In the League Cup, they were also bloodbathed by a League Two team. The most important thing is that even players who bought a League Two team were refused to be in perfect condition. There is nothing better than this. More shameful thing?

Many Premier League fans feel that it is their shame to be in the Premier League with such a club, and they wish Middlesbrough would be relegated earlier.

Just as the Villa transfer incident gradually died down, Notts County ushered in the seventh round of the League Two and Port Vale.

In this game, Loew adopted a rotation strategy, but with the team's excellent lineup depth, he easily defeated his opponent. While winning five consecutive victories, he also climbed to the second place in the standings, surpassing this game. The match was drawn by Mansfield.

After this game, David had to go to the United States to continue to wait until the stock market opened, and the next two league games against Blackpool and Wigan Athletic could only be missed.

On the plane, although David really wanted to tease the flight attendant who was seduced by the uniform, he just thought about it in his heart because he had always been very restrained.

It takes almost eight hours to fly from England to the United States. David wanted to get some sleep to pass the boring and exhausting journey, but suddenly he was attracted by a middle-aged man beside him.

Frowning slightly, David felt that this person was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Aware of David's gaze, the middle-aged man smiled and greeted strangers.

Looking at the other party's smile, David suddenly remembered, isn't this the former CEO of Manchester City, Soriano?

Perhaps it was because his younger face did not remind David at the first time, but in his previous life, David had a certain understanding of the Spaniard who was very well-known in football.

Soriano is a native of Barcelona and has been a loyal fan of Barcelona since he was a child.

In the summer of 2003, Soriano, together with Roselle and Marc Ingra, was an important member of the young lawyer Laporta's campaign team, which won the election of the Barcelona president that year, and the Laporta team The famous slogan Barcelona first during the campaign also originated from Soriano's idea.

Soriano, as the vice-chairman of the team, was in charge of the team's finances. From 2003 to 2008, Barcelona took solid steps to reach the historical peak both in terms of sports and economics. Among them, Soriano is invaluable.

After leaving Barcelona, ​​Soriano was invited by Mansour to become the CEO of Manchester City.

Take the overall picture.

An idea suddenly popped into David's mind. If Soriano was invited to Notts County as CEO now, would it be successful?

In 2003, he would help Laporta in the election. Now Soriano should still be the middle manager of Iberia. If he starts first, he may not have a chance.

After thinking about it, David asked the flight attendant to send a newspaper, pretending to be, and when he saw the sports page, he deliberately sighed: It seems that this season's Champions League is really bad. Real Madrid is none other than Real Madrid!

Sure enough, his words caught the attention of Soriano, who was sitting next to him.

The Barcelona diehard who will be in charge of the giants in the future frowned and said directly: I don't think so, although Real Madrid won the league title last season, it was just their luck, this season should be Barcelona won the championship. !

David pretended to be surprised and exaggeratedly said: A season's league results can also rely on luck? Barcelona's performance in recent years has not been good, and it must be better than Real Madrid, not to mention, even Zidane has changed his mind. Going to Real Madrid, Barcelona will not have the strength to resist.

Soriano's eyes widened, his expression a little angry, but he didn't know what to use to refute David, because he knew that what David said was the truth.

Are you a Barcelona fan? David asked knowingly.

Soriano nodded, but didn't say anything, as if David mentioned Zidane poked his sore spot.

Originally, Barcelona had been suppressed by the sworn enemy Real Madrid in recent years. Now even the world's No. 1 star has moved to Real Madrid. As David said, it is difficult for Barcelona to compete.

Of course, this is only compared with Real Madrid. The Barcelona team is still full of superstars, and it is very competitive in European football. At least David knows that this season, Barcelona broke into the semi-finals in the Champions League and finally lost. Missed the final at Real Madrid.

Two strangers chatted about football. Under David's conscious guidance, Soriano talked a lot, about football, about his work, about his ideals and so on.

Uh, it happens that my team lacks a CEO. If you don't mind, I would like to invite you to take up this position. After two hours, David felt that the time was ripe and invited him.

Soriano didn't seem to react for a while, and his expression remained the same as when the two were chatting just now.

my team?

what team?

Soriano was a little stunned by David's words.

Yes, I am the chairman of the Notts County Club in England. I think you should have heard the name Notts County. Although we are still in the League Two, I can guarantee that in two seasons we will definitely become a team. A Premier League team, David pledged, seeing Soriano's confusion.
