Chapter 901 Two strange bets

Latest website:

Manchester City boss Sheikh Mansour was in the stands at the Etihad Stadium today.

He now holds many positions, including Deputy Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Minister of Presidential Affairs. Although he does not have many minor affairs, he is still quite busy and does not come to watch the team games in person very often.

I can come here today because I want to be with Shahid Khan, the owner of Fulham and the richest man of Pakistani descent. The two have friendship and business dealings.

In the football world, Mansour ranks second on the list of richest club owners, and Shahid ranks eighth. The first is RB Leipzig boss Dietrich Mateschitz.

Zhuoyang's acquisition of Madibao was made of the "Six Musketeers Sports Fund" and not directly with personal assets. Otherwise, Mansour would still be second on this list, but Shahid might drop to ninth.

No boss doesn't like his team to win. The 4-0 score in the first half made Mansour very happy, but he obviously won't be as overjoyed as the fans. Rich people can't be too lazy.

Of course, not every rich person is reliable. For example, Zhuo is often very stubborn and always lowers the upper limit of the ability of rich people.

Taking care of the mood of the guests around him, whenever a goal came, Mansour just applauded a few times very appropriately and let the camera capture it.

"Shahid, the game was exciting. In fact, Fulham performed pretty well, but they were just unlucky."

"Haha..." Shahid laughed dryly. "Fulham and Manchester City...are only one Zhuoyang apart."

"Zhuoyang is indeed great." Mansour said: "There is no doubt that Manchester City has Zhuoyang, which means it has a championship. However, there is only one Zhuoyang, Shahid, and Manchester City also has Guardiola."

"You think there's something wrong with my coach?" Rich people are not stupid.

Mansour said: "I don't know much about football, but I can still see that there are problems with Fulham's tactics today."

Shahid shook his head: "Jokanovic... is a very good coach."

"Yes. But some coaches are only suitable for completing the team's phased tasks, such as the promotion of the English Championship and the initial construction of the team." Mansour said: "Mancini and Pellegrini, they are all very good coaches. , but the team has developed to a certain extent and I have to sign Guardiola instead of letting them continue."

"No, no, no, I have confidence in Joka."

Rich people are very self-centered and will not be easily persuaded by others, especially Shahid who is almost 70 years old in front of Mansoor who is less than 50 years old.

In 2013, Shahid Khan, who already owned the American NFL team Jacksonville Jaguars, spent 185 million pounds to acquire Fulham from Egyptian tycoon Fayed.

Fayed's son, Dodi Fayed, is the man who died together with Princess 1 in a car accident in a Paris tunnel. He is a famous playboy and polo player.

The season that Shahid acquired Fulham, the team was relegated from the Premier League. In the 2014-15 English Championship, Fulham was double beaten by Watford, especially the 0:5 defeat at home in the 20th round. Boss Shahid happened to witness it at the scene, and the trip to Watford coached by Jokanovic went smoothly. Don't let him be amazed.

That season, Jokanovic coached Watford and returned to the Premier League. However, due to conflicts with the club, he left in frustration after the season. He went to Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel to relieve his loneliness, and led the team to score as soon as he left. UEFA Champions League.

By the end of 2015, Fulham's performance in the British Championship was still showing no improvement. Shahid thought of Jokanovic, who was a resolute person, and immediately paid the liquidated damages to poach him.

After that, you can ask people to give you money, as long as you can upgrade. The world only saw Shahid spending a lot of money this summer. In fact, he spent a lot of money every year in the British Championship, and finally allowed Fulham to return to the Premier League this year.

Shahid firmly does not believe that Mansoor understands sports better than he does, because Mansoor is only a second generation, and his wealth is not his ability, but just his ability to reincarnate.

What's more, because Shahid has acquired and successfully operated the NFL team Jacksonville Jaguars for two decades, that is his focus. In fact, Shahid's acquisition of Fulham is very important to open up the British market for the NFL and Jaguars.

Shahid is confident that he understands sports better, but there is a huge gap between American professional football and traditional football. American professional football does not have the religious beliefs of English football, and does not have the social depth of class solidification. American professional football is more entertaining, but it does not have the gravity of diaosi's counterattack, because there are no diaosi in American professional football.

How many years did it take for Abramovich to rebuild Chelsea? How much money was invested? How many years did it take Mansour to build Manchester City? How much money was invested?

When it comes to football, Shahid takes it for granted that simply borrowing the American Football League's formula of quickly reaching the top is not feasible in the Premier League. There is no shortage of money here, but there is a shortage of cutting-edge stars and head coaches. Time is also needed here. Football is far more sophisticated than rugby.

Shahid hasn't figured it out yet, so he doesn't understand why the FA refused him such a good stadium business.

So he didn't like that Mansour, despite trying his best to hide it, still showed the attitude of a winner and superior to teach him. In addition, the loss in the first half was indeed a bit miserable, and Shahid was inevitably unhappy.

Damn your grandma's legs. When I was dumping second-hand tanks in Peshawar, you were still a little kid who could only lift up the maid's robe.

"I admit that Fulham is not as good as your Manchester City for the time being, but we are on the right path and will perform better and better."

"I agree with you." Mansour didn't want to engage in a verbal dispute. "Hope Fulham are lucky in the second half."

When there is anger in the heart, there is also sand in the words heard in the ears.

"Haha, at least Fulham can't concede four more goals in the second half."

"Oh? I hope so."

Mansoor's slightly dismissive tone made Shahid completely fall into the trap of old age.

"How about you and I make a bet with this half, and the outcome will be determined by half."

This may seem like he was saying it without any clue, but Mansour knew what he meant.

Mansour is naturally involved in oil, while Shahid started out in auto parts and vehicle modification, which is still their basic base. But in the end, capital will inevitably become financialized.

Recently, the consortium behind them has focused on a new energy venture capital project in the UK, mainly in small battery energy storage. The investment scale is not large, and the expected return is not very high, but it still has a prospect of eight to nine billion pounds. The key is stability.

Precisely because the investment scale is small and there is no room for two consortiums, it is very boring to play together. This is equivalent to us ordinary people opening a barbecue stall together. If we have the time to argue, why not open one alone?

The two sides are in contact and both hope that the other side will withdraw. It's definitely not hurtful or angry, but they all need a reason.

Shahid's proposal lies in this.

Mansour readily agreed, and immediately made a verbal agreement with Shahid: If Manchester City wins four or more goals in the second half, Shahid will withdraw from the venture capital project competition, and Mansour will withdraw in turn.

A gambling game worth eight to nine billion pounds was born lightly. It seems that Zhuo is not the only rich man who has not escaped.

.

There was no fight in the passage.

Zhuo Yang said that, but there was no way his Manchester City teammates would let Bettinelli punch him, and the Fulham people didn't dare to let him cause such a big trouble in an away game.

After this punch, what was originally a matter of Fulham's control has become incalculable. Moreover, Fulham is almost a brand new team. Brand new means unfamiliar, which means it is far less popular than Manchester City. together.

It is indeed Manchester City's fault. No matter how Delph and Debich hit someone first, Manchester City will definitely be punished if word spreads. As the captain, Zhuo Yang must make big things as small as possible.

"Don't say 300,000, and I won't say one punch. Let's do this. I will score three more goals for you in the second half, and it will cost you 300,000. If you don't do it, you can punch me again when you find time. "

This is not trivializing a big issue, it is simply bullying.

Bertinelli was really about to explode: "No way, I can't let you score three more."

"Okay, then it's settled. Let's all be separated."

In this way, Xiaosha bet 900 million on the opening stage, and forcibly bet 300,000 in the channel.

Mansour didn't accept the bet expecting to win. He has been the owner of Manchester City for ten years and has been working for the United Arab Emirates Football Association before. He still understands football to some extent.

Leading 4:0 in the first half. This is a league dominated by three points. There is no need to accumulate goal difference, and there is no mortal enemy with the opponent. The score is basically the same. Neither Guardiola nor the Manchester City players will do things right. Absolutely.

Agreeing to the bet only gave Shahid a step up and gave him an excuse to withdraw from the limelight competition. After all, there are many places to make money. Having an income of 900 million is certainly pleasing to the eye, but it would not bring down one's figure without it.

Coincidentally, Zhuo Yang and Bertinelli made a bet that they didn't really have to enter three more of them. The main purpose was to find a step to quickly get both parties back to the locker room, so as not to freeze in the passage.

Zhuoyang is confident that he can score three goals in the whole game, but he insists on scoring three more in the half. Even a strong man like him would not dare to say that he can catch them easily. Many times he has to rely on luck.

So the bet was to fool Bettinelli and prevent him from making the matter bigger. Afterwards, he cried out about his grievances and couldn't afford to make waves.

If he can't get three, just let him punch, as long as he has the courage to punch, and Zhuo Yang didn't say that he couldn't dodge. I close my eyes and let you beat me. As long as I can catch up, I will lose.

.

"Don't cause trouble." Lao Gua said.

"Don't lose the ball either." Lao Gua added.

"I don't care how you play in the second half, but you must not lose the ball. Zhuo Yang, did you hear that?"

The new season has started with six consecutive victories, and today the seventh victory is in sight. This is definitely an achievement for Guangzong Yaozong. Moreover, compared with the 201 consecutive victories, this seven-game winning streak has a higher gold content, the number of goals has increased significantly, and the tactical connotation displayed is also more Upper realm.

But the fly in the ointment is that they conceded goals in all six games and no one was spared.

As a perfectionist, Guardiola gradually cannot tolerate it, although he is a firm supporter of the 4:3\u003e1:0 doctrine.

When Zhuo Yang heard the roll call, he naturally wanted to praise Lao Gua.

"Did you hear that? Didn't you hear that? You defenders are just waiting to die all day long. The club pays you such a high salary just to let you concede goals every game? In the second half, everyone must cheer up and pay attention to the opponent."

Do you want to be shameless? Do you still want to be shameless?

The defenders and Ederson all complained: You asked us to let one go against Arsenal and Harden Town, otherwise we would have achieved a clean sheet long ago...

Of course Guardiola knew that he was talking to Zhuo Yang. You can't take this kind person for granted, I'm baking sesame cakes in bed in the middle of the night.

The English are all prudish, and the Argentinians are mostly rotten and bad. Otamendi stood up and said: "Sir, I suggest that if we concede another goal today, the whole team will be closed for training for three days as a punishment."

‘Pa~’ The slap was from Guardiola.

"What a great idea!" everyone said in unison.

Zhuo Yang: "..."

As for who in the team is most afraid of closed training, it must be him. A group of bad guys, Zhuo Yang gritted his teeth.

Dig a hole for me, right? You want to see my joke, right?

"Listen to me. Not only must I not concede a goal in the second half, but I must also ensure that I score three more. My bet cannot be in vain. If I don't do it, then Fulham's...who...goalkeeper will beat me." One punch, you all will be punched by me one by one, no one can escape."

"If we lose the ball in the second half, or if I don't score three, after the game, the whole team will go directly to the base hotel, disconnect the Internet and collect the mobile phones, and they are not even allowed to write letters. I will take the lead, and the whole team will undergo three days of intense physical training, and no one will be allowed to do so." Wanted to run away."

The teammates opened their eyes in horror: Lao Zhuo, are you serious?

"Uh~uh~uh~~" Zhuo Yang and Lao Gua laughed evilly together.

In another locker room, coach Jokanovic was still thinking of ways to make personnel adjustments in order to save some face. Failure is inevitable, but you have to go home with face.

Little did he know that because of two bets made by mistake and Zhuo Yang's inexplicable threats to his teammates, a shocking murder was brewing.

This is a game that will go down in Premier League history.
