"Sir, I am beginning to believe now that you may become the most famous Mr. Chairman in Manchester City's history. However, I regret to say that you still cannot impress me. I am also the core of the offensive in Milan." Zhang Yang said sincerely.

"I'm also very happy to see the real Zhang Yang. You are far from what the media said. Although maybe I don't see the other side of your personality now, I believe that your excellence is by no means lucky. The efforts you put in for it, and what you show now are enough to make me more confident in bringing you to Manchester City club." Alfaim said, "Do you really think you are the core in Milan?"

"Isn't it?" Zhang Yang asked back.

Alfaim said, "Zhang, I'm talking about the core, not the offensive core. Of course, I can also express some of my views, that is, you are in Milan, not the only offensive core. In Milan, they also have Kaka. In fact, I have focused on the success of this giant team in 2007, which is inseparable from their core with Kaka. I also believe that you have begun to realize that in Milan, the previous competition between you and Kaka already exists, because a team can only have one offensive core! I don't know the attitude of Milan's head coach Ancelotti towards you, but what I know is that Milan's boss Mr. Berlusconi does not appreciate you, or in other words, between you and Kaka, he will choose Kaka."

Zhang Yang was silent for a moment and said, "That's right, this is no secret. The boss favors Kaka."

"Now, Ronaldinho will also come to Milan. Although Barcelona has not announced the transfer news yet, this is an unchangeable fact. I believe you also know that Mr. Mendes should also know all this." Alfaim said, "Ronaldinho came to Milan and would definitely not be here to serve as a foil for others. He will also demand the position of the core of the offensive. Ronaldinho and Kaka are both Brazilians, which is very important."

"Do you think I will lose to them in the competition?" Zhang Yang said bluntly.

Alfaim said something wrong. He knew that he was saying something on a whim and made a mistake. He knew that this young man was very proud. If Zhang Yang really thought he was thinking that, it would be bad. So, Alfaim quickly said, "Of course not. What I can be sure is that on the competitive level, you are not inferior to the two of them, and you can even bring victory to the team more than them. However, on the non-competitive level, they are much ahead of you. You must admit this."

Seeing Zhang Yang not speaking, Alfaim continued, saying that he said seriously and tried to show his sincerity in his tone. "At Manchester City, here, I can guarantee that you are the core, and the entire team is built around you. You have the greatest authority in this team except the head coach. Even if necessary, the head coach can be replaced!"

Alfaim said firmly that he saw Zhang Yang's expression slightly moving, and knew that Zhang Yang's heart was in his heart. This young man was very ambitious and would never be willing to stay behind. Moreover, most importantly, this young man has the qualification to be proud and to demand his own status.

"Zhang, I think you have heard that the Manchester City club now has a huge plan. We have enough strength. Well, to be honest, that is money. The club has enough money to rebuild the team. We can buy more and more stars to play for Manchester City. With these players together, my confidence in the future of Manchester City is here." Alfaim said.

"But, no star with importance is willing to join Manchester City now." Zhang Yang said bluntly.

"That's right." Alfaim nodded frankly, "This is also why we are so eager to get you. You are the striker who can score goals in football now. In our opinion, it is not an exaggeration to be the greatest player in football now. If you can join Manchester City, then this influence will be unprecedented. We believe that other super players will also come. At that time, the reason they joined the team was not because of Manchester City. Maybe money also plays a role, but I know that your existence is the biggest reason why they will join."

Alfaim's words moved Zhang Yang, or he felt very happy.

It can be said that from the attitude and words of the Manchester City club chairman, Zhang Yang felt the most profoundly: respect and recognition!

He didn't think that this gentleman was fooling him. He knew that the other party said that he should take himself as the absolute core and as the banner, and that he was definitely sincere and serious. Even the subtext said that if he had conflicts with the head coach, they would even fire the coach at all. This was very sincere.

This kind of respect and recognition forced Zhang Yang to be moved.

However, this is not enough to make Zhang Yang agree to Alfaim to join Manchester City. However, Zhang Yang clearly felt that there seemed to be a voice in his heart. This is an opportunity, don’t miss it. Create your own legend, Zhang Yang.

This voice made Zhang Yang very annoyed.

He knew that he could not calm down, which made Zhang Yang feel inexplicably angry. He was actually upset about the invitation of a club like Manchester City.

"Zhang Yang, please believe in my ambitions and also in Manchester City's ambitions." Alfaim said at the right time at this time, "Please face up to your own ambitions and release your own ambitions."

Zhang Yang was shocked.

He felt fire seemed to be in his chest.

Zhang Yang smiled bitterly, and he had to admit that the chairman of the Manchester City club is indeed powerful, but he did not dislike this kind of excellence. Subconsciously, Zhang Yang even felt that such a powerful chairman of the Manchester City club should be Manchester City's luck. Then, the great scene described by this chairman seems to be more than just a mirage.

Because Manchester City is rich, in football, whether in the past or present, don’t ignore the role of money. Especially now, the role of money is getting bigger and bigger. With money, Manchester City can indeed buy many excellent players. In addition to an ambitious chairman, why can’t there be a miracle?

However, another voice said in Zhang Yang's heart, are you stupid? Such a team deserves you?

Zhang Yang stood up, "Mr. Alfaim, I have to admit that your words are very tempting. Now I am indeed a little moved by you and a little upset, so let's stop today's conversation."

Alfaim nodded, "No problem, I'm very happy, it means my work is effective."

"That's right, it's true." Zhang Yang laughed. Then he said goodbye and left, and met with the bodyguards who had been guarding the corridor and left in a hurry.

Alfaim looked at Zhang Yang's back as he left, and he was happy. He knew that he had taken a small step. Although it was only a small step, it was very critical.

At the same time, the conversation with Zhang Yang also made him have a more thorough understanding of Zhang Yang. Some things are not paper materials or video materials. At least, Dr. Alfaim now believes that Zhang Yang's performance is much better than he expected, which makes the Manchester City head coach more determined to bring the young super scorer to Manchester City club.

Just as Zhang Yang met with Alfaim, the 2008 Swiss-Austria European Cup was in full swing.

Mendes is also in Switzerland at this time. Because Cristiano Ronaldo is his player, Mendes is naturally very concerned about Portugal's performance in this European Cup and has been following the Portuguese team back and forth.

In fact, the Portuguese team led by Cristiano Ronaldo has indeed attracted great attention. In the first game of the group stage, Portugal defeated Türkiye 2-0.

Pepe and Meceles scored, and Cristiano Ronaldo's shot was blocked by the post, but he was the key star in Portugal's victory.

In the 69th minute of the game between Portugal and Turkey, a very iconic scene appeared on the court: Scolari used young player Nani to replace veteran Nuno Gomez, and then Gomez, who represented Portugal's "golden generation", took off the captain's armband and handed it to Cristiano Ronaldo, who represented the "platinum generation". This simple ceremony is of great significance in the eyes of many people, which even marks the end of an old era and the establishment of a new era in Portugal.

Comparing the rosters of Portugal in the 2004 European Cup, 2006 World Cup and 2008 European Cup, one can find that this team has undergone a complete update. Couto, Andrade, Valente, Kestinia, Manicheimer, Rui Costa, Figo, Pauletta, Boammot, Miguel and others all withdrew from the main lineup, while the new generation of Bosinva, Pepe, Cristiano Ronaldo and even Nani, Moutinho and others have taken over. The Portuguese team has completely entered the "platinum era".

In the starting lineup of this game, in addition to the goalkeeper, the team is only 32-year-old Gomez, 32-year-old Petti and 31-year-old Deco are considered veterans. However, these four stars are all at the golden age of their careers, and the roles they play in the team are gradually on the verge of the margins. On the contrary, the team has established a central axis with 25-year-old Pepe, 22-year-old Moutinho, and 23-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo as the core, and is supplemented by rookies in their early 20s like Veroso, Nani, and Almeda as the substitutes. Today, the Portuguese team is relatively low in the European Cup teams, which can be regarded as a vigorous "youth storm".

Although the Portuguese team had many superstars in the 2004 European Cup, both Rui Costa and Figo could only be described as "the sun is weak". Although this lineup is full of stars, the old guys are no longer as brave as they were, and can only be regarded as sunset warriors.

In the 2006 European Cup, although the stars were more famous, the older generation of Figo and Pauletta were old, and the new generation of Cristiano Ronaldo and Paul Ferreira were temporarily unable to take over, so they could only be described as "never-never" in this lineup. There are also many famous people in the world, but most of the people in the team are not in the peak state.

Only in the 2008 European Cup now, the Portuguese team is truly considered a star. There are both the best stars in the world today, Cristiano Ronaldo, who is very likely to win the Golden Ball Award, as the leading actress, and the winger Quaresma, who is snatched by all over Europe, as the lineup reserve. In the frontcourt, new stars such as Nani and Almeida are rising. In the midfielder Moutinho and Veroso are already popular in the transfer market. What's even more terrifying is the defenders, Carvalho, Pepe, Bosinva, and Paul Ferreira, and the transfer fee is as high as 100 million!

It can be said that compared with 2004 or 2006, the team's value increased by several levels and the star flavor increased a lot. It is no exaggeration to say that the total value of the Portuguese team in 2008 may not be inferior to that of 2004 and 2006!

'Super Agent' Jorge Mendes is a Portuguese, and he is naturally happy about the changes in the Portuguese team today. Of course, what he is most happy about is that Cristiano Ronaldo will become the core and flag of the Portuguese team in the future, which means that Cristiano Ronaldo's influence will continue to expand. In addition, there are several players in the Portuguese team who are also his players.

So, seeing the Portugal's outstanding performance, Mendes was in a good mood.

However, his good mood was completely disrupted by a call.

He received a call from Zhang Yang. On the other end of the phone, the status in Mendes' heart was equivalent to that of Cristiano Ronaldo, who told Mr. Super Agent that he was very upset now. Because of this call, Mr. Super Agent also became extremely upset... He really wanted to give himself a mouth, how could he have contributed to Zhang Yang's meeting with Alfaim at the beginning? At the same time, Mendes was also super confused.

What exactly happened? Mendes knew that Zhang Yang was disdainful of Manchester City, a dilapidated person... How could there be a sudden change?
