To be honest, Zhang Yang's words are indeed very hurtful. Obviously, in his heart, Manchester City can't get on the table. In his opinion, it would be great if this team can rank in the top six in the Premier League in the new season and be qualified for the League Cup next season.

The Premier League can be said to be the most competitive league among the five major leagues. In the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich has always been the only one. As long as this team does not have big problems, the Bundesliga champion is Bayern Munich. As for other teams such as Dortmund, Schalke 04, Bremen and Stuttgart can only compete for the Champions League qualification. To be more precise, the two giants Barcelona and Real Madrid are taking turns to take over the bank. In the Serie A, Inter Milan and AC Milan compete for the top spot.

Only the Premier League, Manchester United and Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool are competing for the quarterfinals, and Everton and Tottenham Hotspur are also strong.

It can be said that even if Manchester City wants to enter the top six of the league and qualify for a League Cup, it will be extremely difficult and challenging. Now the new chairman of this club is shameless and said that the team will enter the top four of the league next season and enter the Champions League. This is indeed a joke in the eyes of many people, including Zhang Yang.

The Times said in a slightly sarcastic tone, "Maybe Mr. Alfaim should be awake, not in the fairy tale of a thousand and one night..."

Two days later, Zhang Yang met Alfaim himself at Hongqiao Airport in Shanghai.

Although he said he had to wait at home, it was just a joke. He was a guest on the road and could only get picked up in Shanghai. Otherwise, it would not be too easy for the chairman of the Manchester City Club to find the town in Zhang Yang's hometown.

Alfaim wore a pair of glasses and was thin. What impressed Zhang Yang the most was that Alfaim's eyes were very vivid. I heard that this was a doctor, and he did look like a university professor. In short, this is a gentleman who would not be disgusted when he saw it, but would be respectful.

"Hello, Mr. Alfaim." Zhang Yang took the initiative to extend his hand to the Arab man in front of him.

Alfaim has long recognized Zhang Yang, and he naturally has a deep memory of Zhang Yang's appearance. These days, he has been thinking about and studying this super shooter. In addition, this Milan shooter is also the most eye-catching among the crowd who are picking up the plane at this moment. One in front and the other behind, the two black bodyguards protected Zhang Yang very well. The black bodyguards looked serious and were always vigilant.

Alfaim came from a famous family and had a net worth of over 100 million yuan, so he naturally would not travel by himself. There were also bodyguards following him. His bodyguard Bente just glanced at Zhang Yang's bodyguard, and seemed to have a sense of emotion. He said to Alfaim, "Sir, they should be my colleagues."

"You mean they are from Blackwater, too?" Alfaim asked softly.

Ben's feature nodded, "The people from Hei Water Company all have a taste. I believe the other party has also realized my origin."

At this time, Zhang Yang said, handing over his right hand. Alfaim smiled and stretched out his right hand, "Hello, Zhang, to be honest, I was a little surprised. Although I have watched at least dozens of hours of video about you and knew that you were only twenty-two years old, when I saw myself, your youth and confidence still surprised me."

"Mr. Alfaim, please help me arrange the hotel here. I will stay in Shanghai for a day." Zhang Yang said.

Alfaim looked at the young man in surprise again. Although Manchester City Club is not a wealthy club, Zhang Yang must have known his identity. He is not only the chairman of Manchester City Club, but more importantly, there is a wealthy Abu Dhabi consortium behind him. Knowing his identity, Zhang Yang still seems to be very calm and has not been too close. Of course, he will not neglect himself. The implication of this sentence is that there is only one day to talk to him.

Alfaim was not angry because of Zhang Yang's attitude. In fact, Zhang Yang's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, which actually gave Alfaim a good first impression of Zhang Yang.

After the two of them greeted each other, Zhang Yang took Alfaim toward his car in the parking lot. The driver in the car was Zhang Yang's bodyguard Tony.

Alfaim's bodyguard Bent also wants to get in the car, but Zhang Yang's other bodyguard Steve pointed to another Audi, "Let's make that car and follow it behind."

Bente looked at his employer Alfaim, and saw the other party nodding, so he got into another Audi without saying a word.

Zhang Yang and Alfaim sat in the back row. Alfaim knew that time was tight, so he no longer delayed his time.

Let’s start chatting first and get familiar with the negotiating partner. This is Alfaim’s habit.

"Zhang, I've read all the information I can access about you," said Alfaim. "If I remember correctly, three years ago, you set out from this airport and went to France to find your football dream."

"That's right." Zhang Yang nodded, and he looked out the car window. The tall buildings along the way and the crowds passing by were flashing quickly, just like a movie. "Time flies so fast, three years have passed." He smiled as he said, "I won't notice it if Mr. Alfaim doesn't say it. I don't like memories."

"Why?" said Alfaim.

"Because, I am only twenty-two years old, and it is still far from time to remember. I believe that when I really retire, I will recall it at that time will be the most suitable one." Zhang Yang's lips curled up.

"Zhang, you are exactly the same as what I have heard, and you are still so confident, haha." Alfaim smiled.

"Maybe, what you want to say in your heart is not 'confidence', but arrogant." Zhang Yang said with a smile.

"Haha." Alfaim laughed, "I like to talk to you. It has nothing to do with the purpose of my trip. I have been in contact with Chinese people before. They are all very humble, but I am not used to it and I don't think I am honest enough."

"That is the restraint of Eastern culture, not that we are not honest. In fact, we Chinese are the best to get along with each other. If anyone really treats us as friends, he will find that we will give up our hearts."

"Then why are you?"

"I think I'm an alternative, right?" Zhang Yang smiled, "Don't the newspapers say that?"

The car slowly shuttled through the city of Shanghai, and Zhang Yang arranged Alfaim in a relatively quiet presidential suite in a high-end guild hall. This is Alfaim's requirement, which requires both high-standard hotels and quietness. After all, he was not here for vacation in Shanghai, but to talk about things.

This also made Zhang Yang see the "luxury" of the life of the Arab noble elite for the first time. No matter what, he did not relax his requirements for enjoying a high-quality life.

After taking Alfaim to the hotel room, Zhang Yang planned to say goodbye. He thought that Alfaim had been exhausted on his journey and should have a good rest.

Unexpectedly, Alfaim grabbed Zhang Yang: "I want to talk to you now, Zhang. I can't wait now."

"Don't you need a rest?" Zhang Yang smiled in surprise, "Flying from Britain to China is not a short journey."

Alfaim interrupted him with a shook his head and said, "I am not as delicate as you think. I am now in work. In Dubai, they all call me a 'workaholic'. I think if you don't care, we can talk about things now."

Zhang Yang scratched his head, "Okay, that's it. I asked someone to order food in a restaurant on the first floor. We were having a conversation while eating. Haha, you said you had contact with Chinese people and you should be familiar with this scene."

"Haha, yes, you Chinese have a saying that business is negotiated at the table." Alfaim said, "Okay, that's right, I'm a little hungry too. But, don't go down, you can ask them to deliver the food to their room,"

"This is OK." Zhang Yang nodded, picked up the internal telephone number of the guild hall, and said a few words.

After a while, the waiter of the club brought two meals. Is Zhang's extravagant and wasted? He only ordered four dishes and one soup, which was just enough for the two of them. Then he said to Steve, "Steve, take that brother to have dinner. I will contact you if you have any questions."

“Okay, boss.”

After the three bodyguards left, the two began to eat. Knowing that Alfaim could not use chopsticks, Zhang Yang specifically asked the waiter to take a knife and fork and spoon.

"Ah, I know this is Moutai, your favorite among Chinese people."

"No, it should be said that it is the favorite of rich people. They think this wine is a symbol of identity." Zhang Yang poured Alfaim's wine glass full. Then he picked up his own glass of juice, "Cheer to China, Mr. Alfaim."

Alfaim did not ask Zhang Yang why he didn't drink. In his opinion, maybe this was the cultivation of a real professional player. He cheerfully clinked glasses with Zhang Yang and took a sip of wine.

Although it is the best time to talk about things during meals, the two of them did not communicate much when they were eating. They were both busy eliminating the food.

"I am still amazed until now, why is Chinese food so delicious?" Alfaim wiped his mouth with a tissue, exclaiming.

Zhang Yang finished eating the apples in his hand, picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth, then asked the waiter to clean up, and asked them to make a pot of tea.

After doing all this, Zhang Yang turned off his phone and looked at the Chairman of the Manchester City Club: "Sir, we can now talk about the serious business."

Alfaim nodded, and Zhang Yang called himself Mr. Chairman instead of Mr. Alfaim, so he knew that Zhang Yang was also in a working state now.

Alfaim smiled, "Tell me straight, Zhang. You should know why I came to you."

Zhang Yang didn't seem to care too much about the other party's identity, but filled his tea cup with tea and the tea cup of the Manchester City Club Chairman. After doing all this, he smiled and said, "Sir, of course I know your purpose, but I'm very curious. Why you are so confident to convince me, which makes me very curious."

"Manchester City Club is very interested in you, it's a good thing," said Zidane, chairman of Manchester City Club, straight to the point, "So, I came to China and had an interview with you. You know my purpose. Now, I want to hear what you think."

"I don't think I need to leave Milan. I'm very good at it. I have a good relationship with my teammates and have a good understanding. To be honest, I never thought of leaving there. At least, I don't have the idea of ​​leaving now." Zhang Yang shrugged with a smile.

The Manchester City club chairman was not angry because of Zhang Yang's direct rejection, but also smiled: "That's right. If I were you, I might not want to leave AC Milan now. At least I wouldn't have left now."

Now it was Zhang Yang's turn to be surprised. Didn't this person come to persuade him to join Manchester City? Why did he seem to persuade him to stay in Milan?

"Surprised?" said the Manchester City club chairman.

"Yes." Zhang Yang nodded.

"I have studied your data. It should be said that although we have never met, I think I know you very well, Zhang." Alfaim made a V-shaped gesture, "You advocate victory in your bones, pursue goals! Pursuing glory! Objectively speaking, this is the pursuit of most players, but I see more desires in you!"

Zhang Yang did not speak, but continued to listen. He knew that the Chairman also needed him to continue to listen to him.

"You won the Golden Boot of the Serie A in Milan, and also set the Serie A goal record, it is also the Golden Boot in the Champions League, and it also set the Champions League single-season goal record. This is an amazing result. In terms of personal honors, you are the well-deserved first person in the past season."

Although he knew that Alfaim's words were compliments, Zhang Yang was still very happy. When he heard such a big man complimenting himself in person, everyone would be happy. More importantly, Zhang Yang felt that he was fully confident and qualified to accept these words.

"In terms of collective honor, you also won the Serie A championship." Alfaim continued, "Maybe, for many players, even when they retire, they can retire with a Serie A championship. However, I believe that you are not thinking that way. What you think is to continue to pursue glory in Milan. To be specific, your goal is to win the Champions League championship!" When Alfaim said that when he was the Champions League championship, he stared at Chang Yang's eyes and saw the hotness in the young man's eyes.

"That's right." Zhang Yang nodded calmly, "I am indeed a champion of the Champions League. There is nothing to be surprised about. As you said, any player will have such a desire."

"Yes, this is the desire of almost all players, but you are different." Alfaim said. "You ask yourself to win the Champions League in Milan, so you will feel that your career in Milan is perfect. Maybe, at that time, you will take the initiative to leave Milan because you feel that you have conquered there and you can leave proudly." Alfaim increased the decibels of his voice, and he seemed a little excited, "You are an extremely self-centered person, who likes the admirable look, and you like being missed by everyone. You want everyone to be fascinated by your football talent."

Zhang Yang didn't speak, not because he had to continue listening, but was surprised. He never thought that there was someone who could analyze his thoughts so accurately.

Yes, he admits that he is such a person, he longs to be recognized, praised, and longs for the whole world to applaud himself.

Perhaps because his career was hard-won, Zhang Yang cherished it even more. Because of those difficult pasts, he was more eager for applause, eager to become the focus of the flash, and the focus of world attention.

Yes, he has a bad relationship with the media and often quarrels with the media. He doesn't like reporters, but Zhang Yang enjoys the feeling that his name appears on the front pages of major media. He sees his photos everywhere, and the product advertisements he endorses are everywhere in Paris, London and everywhere in various places. When he enjoys the feeling of money coming, he enjoys this world-famous recognized and concerned gaze.

He likes football, he loves football, sincere love, deep love.

When his feet step on the court, he will feel at ease and he will feel his heartbeat. This is not nervousness, but excitement!

He likes the stadium, he likes it because he has a heartfelt feeling that it is his own territory, his own stage, and there, he is the king!

Every move of yours can make tens of thousands of people cheer and hundreds of thousands of people, and make more people cry!

He will be moved by his goals, by the cheers of the fans, and then continue to work hard to create more touches! He wants to make his fans happy, because in this way he will feel that he is the happiest.

After being majestic on the court, he began to yearn for more. Although he was highly regarded in life, he would also cause trouble for himself, but that feeling was indeed good.

"Mr. Chairman, I admit that you are right, that's me." Zhang Yang said, and then he frowned. "However, I wonder, since you know, you should know that I have not won the Champions League championship in Milan. Maybe I can help the team win the Champions League championship next season, so this means that I may choose to leave Milan as soon as possible. So, I was even more surprised. Since you have analyzed me so thoroughly, how could you persuade me to leave a giant club like AC Milan and join Manchester City Club? To be honest, Manchester City Club really has nothing to attract me. I think you know this too."

"That's right, I know." Alfaim nodded, "Although Manchester City's history in Manchester is longer than Manchester United, if we talk about the team's honor book, we don't even deserve to carry shoes to Manchester United. If we count from the club's luxurious history, Manchester City club really has no qualifications to participate in your pursuit." When he said this, Alfaim suddenly smiled, "That was the previous Manchester City club, not my Manchester City club, that is the past, not the future. In the future, Manchester City club will become the most important force in the entire Premier League and the entire European football world. We want to dominate the league and Europe. There is no glorious history. Then, these history will start from now on to create."

Zhang Yang must admit that Alfaim's words are very tempting and can create the great glory of a club for later generations to admire. This feeling will indeed make people excited when thinking about it.

However, all this is based on one foundation, that is, they can create brilliance. If they cannot create brilliance, then everything will become useless.

"Mr. Chairman, the future blueprint you plan for Manchester City club is wonderful and exciting, but I still have to say that these cannot really touch me, because I don't know what my future will be like if I join Manchester City. Maybe my subsequent efforts will become useless, because it is not so easy to establish a new order based on the current football order. "Zhang Yang also said with a serious look, "You also know that my current achievements are hard-won. I have always told myself that I should cherish my career more. A player's career is very short, and I cannot use my career to bet on it and take risks. Because no player can calmly bear the mistake of feeling that he always wastes his career because of failure!"

Alfaim nodded to express his understanding. Then he took a sip of tea and praised the beauty of Chinese tea before speaking, "I know that although those words are very passionate, they are very ethereal."

Zhang Yangxin said, as long as you know.

"And I didn't expect these words to stimulate a super player's blood to be excited. When I got angry, I would be disappointed if I did that, because what I needed was not a player with a hot brain, but a team leader and a club's flag figure." Alfaim said.

"What does it mean?" Zhang Yang didn't understand.

"I can have many promises here, one of which is, as long as you come to Manchester City, you are the absolute core of the club and the banner of the team. As for whether you will become the greatest legend in the club's history in the future, it depends on the joint efforts of the players and the club." Alfaim said seriously.

Zhang Yang has a good impression of the honesty of the Manchester City club chairman in front of him, but this is not enough to make him joke about his career. At the same time, Zhang Yang was also surprised. He originally just agreed to meet with the Manchester City club chairman with a curious attitude. To be honest, he really didn't even have the idea of ​​joining Manchester City, and he thought there would be no future. However, he didn't expect that after he came into contact with the Manchester City club chairman, he was shaken a little. Although the shaking crack was very small, this change still surprised Zhang Yang. At the same time, he was also shocked by the energy of the Manchester City club chairman.
