Chapter 403 Let the Martians Play Football?(2/3)
"In the end, it may be Pan Yi's personal charm. I suspect this is also the most critical point."
"How do you say it?" Mansour asked again. His tone was always calm, but he didn't seem to have much emotion.
Edelman thought for a while and said: "A team can win the championship in one season, but there is no guarantee that it will be successful in the next season."
"But the existence of Pan Yi has magnified the possibility of continued success countless times. In other words, as long as you follow Pan Yi's footsteps, you will have a high probability of success."
"Of course I am not the only one who says this. Such words are now being circulated in world football, because Pan Yi's experience has always proved this."
"As Kane, who is only 21 years old this year, he also needs a coach like Pan Yi to guide him and let him continue to improve and become a truly world-class star."
"As famous as Pan Yi's world-famous tactical changes is his ability to train young players. This should need no introduction."
"Whether it is Harry Kane himself or the younger Mbappe, their performance in the games so far this season, including today's game, has been very good."
"Sigh." Mansour sighed, "Of course I know this, otherwise Mubarak's first target would not have been him."
Mansour now feels a little regretful and even blames Mubarak a little.
It was because competitor Abramovich directly offered Pan Yi the highest salary in the world at that time, and he really showed the greatest sincerity.
On Manchester City's side, Chairman Mubarak to be precise, he still had some hesitation about the young Pan Yi, doubting whether he could match such a high salary.
It was after such hesitation that Chelsea snatched Pan Yi away, and Pan Yi immediately rewarded Chelsea with an undefeated season of the Premier League championship and an undefeated season of the Champions League championship.
"Do you think it's still possible for us to convince Pan Yi to come to Manchester City to coach?" Mansour suddenly asked again.
"This...is unlikely."
"Why?"
"You know, he is now recognized as the number one head coach in the world. I dare say that all teams in the world want to invite him to coach... But now that he is doing so well in a wealthy team like Chelsea,
Abramovich has also given him such great support, and he really has no reason to leave Chelsea."
"I know it's difficult." Mansour stared at Edelman, "But I know there's always a way, right? If you want sincerity, we have it. If you want money, we have it. No matter what you want, we have it.
I will try my best to satisfy you.”
Having said this, Edelman could feel Mansour's determination.
This is indeed the style of the wealthy people in the Middle East, they only want the best.
Whether it's a player or a head coach.
But the problem is...
Edelman scratched his head and said: "There is a rumor about Pan Yi, I don't know if it is true or not."
"explain."
"I just heard that he bought York City, a English second-division team, and arranged for his first assistant coach and girlfriend to be at this club this season. And then he also used his connections in European football. , we hired many players to go to York City, and now York City’s record is much better than last season.”
"Uh..." Mansour thought for a moment and asked, "Does this have anything to do with what I just said about inviting him to Manchester City? It's just a League Two team. Of course he can afford it. Buy a team to play in. It’s normal to play.”
"I feel that he will shift his focus to this team of his own in the future." Edelman expressed his thoughts:
"Didn't Pan Yi tell Abramovich that he would win seven championships this season? It is said that he has the idea of leaving the team after winning the championship. But the question is, where is he going to go?"
"He is a person who likes challenges. So, going to a lower-level team that is completely his own and challenging the major giants again is really in line with his personality."
"So in my opinion, after this season, once Pan Yi really achieves his goal, it will be difficult for any team to invite him again."
Mansour was a little stunned for a while, and then breathed out after a while: "Isn't it okay to give him more money?"
"I'm afraid he's not a money-only person," Edelman replied quickly.
"But it's still hard for me to believe that a Champions League winning coach would coach a League Two team." Mansour shook his head.
"I'm just guessing..." Edelman said, "But if York City is promoted this season, it will be League One next season. Then the English Championship, Premier League... will actually be very fast."
"Let's do this. Whether it's true or not, I ask you to do one thing." Mansour looked at Edelman.
"What's the matter? Boss, please tell me."
"I don't care what measures you take, you just want to try your best to build a relationship with Pan Yi. Use subtle ways to establish friendship first, gain his trust, and then slowly talk about cooperation."
"oh?"
"Didn't you say that he might leave the team after this season? No matter what he thinks, we just want to have a good relationship with him. Maybe he will choose us next season."
"Uh... this... okay. Then Guardiola we are talking about..."
"Let's talk about it. He is much better than Pellegrini. If Pan Yi really can't handle it, we will settle for the next best thing and use Guardiola."
"Understood."
Edelman responded verbally and thought to himself, who would have thought that Guardiola, the world-famous head coach, could only be Pan Yi's backup?
Finally, Mansour said categorically to Edelman: "You are responsible for this matter. I don't care how you do it or how much time it takes. The ultimate goal is to see Pan Yi coach our Manchester City." !”

Jason McGill is in a good mood lately.
As the former owner, current chairman and loyal fan of York City, seeing the team's performance getting better certainly makes me feel relieved.
Last season, York City only started to show strength in the final stage of the league. In the end, they were 5 points above the relegation zone and successfully avoided relegation and stayed in the English League Two.
After the league ended, the original head coach Wilcox also submitted his resignation because he believed that the club's lineup at the time was not enough to advance further in the league and was even likely to fall into a relegation spiral again.
To be honest, there is no problem with his idea, because York City Club did not have any transfer budget at that time for the head coach to use his own tactics, and some of the "thigh" players on loan in the team would also leave the team, and their strength would only be
Decrease but not increase.
It is a team that is barely able to avoid relegation, but its strength continues to decline. How can it avoid relegation?
In a normal timeline, York City was relegated this season with the worst record in the league, winning only 7 games in 46 league games.
But it's different in this timeline, because Jason McGill sold the club to Pan Yi, and then support from the owner appeared!
First came head coach Scaloni, Pan Yi's direct disciple.
Then came the "swill" from various Premier League clubs, and York City suddenly became a "waste collection station."
But these "waste products" are all treasures for York City!
First of all, these players are all visa-free, and York City does not need to pay a penny.
In addition, their wages are not high, York City itself can barely afford them, and Pan Yi, as a "backing boss", also injected millions into the club, and he was able to survive immediately.
What's more important is that these rubbish from the Premier League are all at the level of dads in the English League Two!
The English League Two has now played three rounds. York City defeated Wycombe Wanderers 1:0 in the first round, defeated Hartlepool 2:1 in the second round, and defeated Yeovil 1:0 in the third round.
Win all three battles!
In the standings, they are ranked second behind Leyton Orient, which also has three consecutive victories, due to a goal difference disadvantage.
Compared with last season, this is really a huge difference!
Jason McGill had to be grateful that he had made the right decision.
Selling the club to Pan Yi was really the right move!
Although he lost ownership of the club, he gave the York City team a new lease of life.
He can even imagine that the team will be promoted to League One, or even the Championship...
And good results actually brought about commercial sponsorship!
No, SpaceX, the famous American space exploration technology company, is here.
The boss of this company is none other than the famous Elon Musk.
This guy started out through e-commerce, and then planned a project called "Mars Oasis" as early as 2001, planning to build a small experimental greenhouse on Mars to allow crops from Earth to grow in Martian soil.
In June 2002, Elon Musk invested US$100 million to establish this space exploration technology company, also known as Space
Immigrate and create a true space civilization for mankind.
What made Musk even more famous is that he served as the chairman of Tesla in 2004 and devoted himself to the development of electric vehicles.
Later, the sales of Tesla cars also increased steadily, becoming the representative of high-end electric vehicles.
In 2005, the 34-year-old Musk was worth more than 300 million U.S. dollars. When he was less than 40 years old, the three ideals of the Internet, clean energy and space had been realized. At this time, his reputation around the world was also very large.
Already.
It can be said that McGill was a little flattered when people from Musk's companies came to discuss cooperation with York City.
They are a League Two team, how can they be so virtuous and capable?
Of course, if it was a representative of Tesla who came to discuss cooperation, Jason McGill would understand.
Although Tesla’s status as a company means that it has to sponsor a Premier League team, after all, it is not against the rules for car advertisements to appear on the football team’s jersey or somewhere else.
What Jason McGill really can't figure out is why such a company that is engaged in space exploration and closely connected with NASA would think of sponsoring a football club...
You can’t just advertise to Martians and popularize football across the universe, right? Musk’s plan is too big.
Of course, Jason McGill doesn't care.
If the other party comes to you on his own initiative, if you don't take advantage of it, you are worse than a beast!
To be continued...
