Chapter 41 Manchester City CEO
Villa expressed his own thoughts and positions, but perhaps out of professional ethics considerations, David did not have so many scruples when he did not open his mouth to mock Middlesbrough.

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

"As Villa said, he is a player belonging to Notts County, and it is not something that Middlesbrough can take away if they feel good about themselves. £200 million? Perhaps this is a number that many League Two teams cannot refuse. But we in Notts County 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 could be slaughtered by Notts County would rather stay in Notts County than that."

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

David didn't save any face for Middlesbrough and McLaren in his words, and he was extremely mocking. Anyway, the two sides have a beam, and they don't care!
His statement suddenly made Middlesbrough a joke in the Premier League.

It’s okay to be at the bottom of the standings after losing all four games, and was bloodbathed by a League Two team in the League Cup. Most importantly, even players who bought a League Two team were rejected. Anything more humiliating?

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

Just when 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 game was tied by the opponent Mansfield.

After this game, David had to go to the United States 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 seductive stewardess in uniform, he was always introverted in this regard, and he just thought about it in his heart.

It takes almost eight hours to fly from England to the United States. David wanted to sleep to kill this boring but tiring 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.

Sensing David's gaze, the middle-aged man smiled, and it was a greeting between strangers.

Seeing the other party's smile, David suddenly remembered, isn't this the former CEO of Manchester City, Soriano?
Perhaps it was because the younger face did not remind David immediately, but in his previous life, David had a certain understanding of this very well-known Spaniard 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 Rosell and Mark Inguera, as an important member of the young lawyer Laporta's campaign team, won the Barcelona presidential election that year for him, and the Laporta team The famous slogan "Barcelona first" during the campaign was also derived from Soriano's idea.

Soriano, as the vice president of the team, is in charge of the team's finances. From 2003 to 2008, Barcelona has taken solid steps to reach the peak of history, both at the competitive level and at the economic level. Among them, Soriano deserves credit.

After leaving Barcelona, ​​Soriano was invited by Mansour to become the CEO of the Manchester City club, taking over the overall situation.

A thought suddenly popped up in David's mind, if Soriano is invited to Notts County as the CEO now, will it be successful?
In 03, he would help Laporta in the election. Now Soriano should still be the middle manager of Spanish Airlines. If he does it first, he may not have a chance.

After thinking about it, David asked the stewardess to deliver a newspaper, pretending to look like it, and when he saw the sports page, he deliberately sighed: "It seems that this season's Champions League is really very important. Real Madrid must go!"

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

The Barcelona loyalist 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 championship last season, it was just their luck. Barcelona should win the championship this season." !"

David pretended to be surprised, and exaggeratedly said: "A season's league results can also rely on luck alone? Barcelona's performance in recent years has not been good, and it must not be as good as Real Madrid. What's more, even Zidane has transferred Will go to Real Madrid, Barcelona will have no strength to resist."

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

"Are you a Barcelona fan?" David asked knowingly.

Soriano nodded, but said nothing, as if David mentioned that Zidane had poked him where it hurt.

Originally, Barcelona was suppressed by rival Real Madrid in recent years, and now even the world's number one 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 also very competitive in European football. At least David knows that this season, Barcelona broke into the semi-finals of the Champions League and lost in the end. Missed the final at Real Madrid.

The two strangers chatted together because of football. Under David's conscious guidance, Soriano talked a lot about football, his work, his ideals and so on.

"Uh, it just so happens that my team is short of a CEO. If you don't mind, I would like to invite you to take up this position." Two hours later, David felt that the time was right, and he invited.

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

my team?

What team?
Soriano was a little taken aback by David's words.

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