Manchester City asked for Ricardo Quaresma?

Fang Jue was a little surprised.

Quaresma's outstanding performance will arouse the covetousness of many teams, which he could have expected.

He just didn't expect that just a few days after the season ended, Manchester City couldn't wait to take action.

There are World Cups this summer, but they didn't wait until the end of the World Cup before taking action, which shows Manchester City's eagerness.

Fang Jue was very satisfied with Quaresma's performance this season.

The Portuguese scored 10 goals and had 15 assists in various competitions, which is very dazzling data.

Moreover, you should know that Aston Villa's right midfielder's choice is Desler, and Quaresma often appears as a substitute. In this case, it is amazing to be able to deliver such an answer.

When Quaresma performed well at the beginning, Fang Jue had indeed considered selling the Portuguese before while Quaresma could sell it at a good price.

However, as the Portuguese player performs better and better.

Fang Jue changed his mind.

Fang Jue is preparing to give Quaresma more playing time and trust in the new season.

After all, Deisler is already thirty years old, and Quaresma is only twenty-six years old.

In terms of the team's sustainable development, Quaresma is in his year of playing, and unless there are reasons that cannot be refused, it should not be transferred now.

Therefore, according to Fang Jue's meaning, Aston Villa directly responded to Manchester City: Quaresma is not a product!

...

Aston Villa refused?

They say Quaresma is not a seller?

Manchester City coach Mancini curled his lips.

In the afternoon of the same day, Manchester City Club Chairman Mubarak invited the team's head coach Mancini to enjoy delicious coffee.

"Quaresma (for the construction of the team) is very important?" asked the Chairman.

"Yes, this is a player who has the ability to change the situation of the game alone." Mancini confirmed, "Quaresma has a unique skill."

"I know, a very beautiful curve ball." Mubarak said happily.

The Manchester City club president is over 6 feet tall, wearing a pair of glasses and designer stubble, and is one of the most trusted consultants of the Abu Dhabi royal family.

In September 2008, Sheikh Mansour personally selected him to take charge of Manchester City.

He is also CEO and managing director of Dubai Sovereign Wealth Fund.

Mubarak admitted that he didn't understand football, but he believed that money investment could make Manchester City stronger.

However, at the beginning, Mubarak was turned away and lost face.

Manchester City has offered 100 million pounds to buy Kaka, and the Milan club has already acquiesced, but Brazilian Golden Boy looks down on Manchester City.

In addition, Manchester City attacked everywhere at that time, and there were Buffon, Robben and Ribery on the acquisition list, all of which failed without exception.

Not only that, Manchester City, waving checkbooks everywhere, also attracted dissatisfaction from the giants, believing that this nouveau riche was disrupting the market.

"Then buy it!" Mubarak thought for a moment, and he recalled his previous unpleasant experience and said firmly.

Mancini looked at the Chairman in surprise. Mubarak did not ask how much it would cost to buy Quaresma, but made a decision directly.

...

"Robert, do you know what is the biggest difficulty for Manchester City right now?" Mubarak asked Mancini.

"I can feel the team's ambition for the future, which does not match the team's current strength." Mancini thought for a while and said that he was very smart, which was equivalent to changing directions and buying people and improving his strength.

“Yes, not all.” Mubarak said, “The biggest challenge is finding a seat at the negotiating table.”

"What happened before made me realize very quickly that European football has a main table and a group of clubs, which does not include Manchester City, and that's the current situation."

“It’s very difficult and very challenging to break this situation, and all we have to do is be part of this institution.”

Manic was silent for a moment and thought, and he understood what the club chairman said. At this moment, he really began to marvel at the ambition of the club and also gave the heartfelt respect to the club chairman who claimed he didn't understand the ball.

With such a senior executive, coupled with the power of money, Manchester City's future is really not just a dream. He is very happy to be involved.

"The transfer budget is very sufficient," Mubarak told Mancini, and he asked Mancini to provide a list of players he wanted to bring in.

...

The next morning, Mancini submitted the list.

Forwards: Aston Villa forward Diego Costa, Wolfsburg scorer Edin Dzeko, Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli;

Midfielders: Aston Villa players Ricardo Quaresma, Gareth Bale and James Milner, Valencia player David Silva, Benfica winger Di Maria;

Defence line: Aston Villa defender Sendros, Hamburg right defender Boateng, Benfica defender David Luis, Lazio defender Kolarov;

Mubarak reviewed the list provided by Mancini and rejected it.

He believes that Mancini is not ambitious enough.

Finally, after careful consideration, Mancini added several names:

Liverpool striker Torres, Barcelona striker Ibrahimovic, Barcelona player Yaya Toure, Arsenal player Fabregas, Aston Villa player Sebastian Deisler.

After reading it, Mubarak expressed his approval.

Just follow this list and go door to door to ask if it is sold.

...

Quaresma was selected for the Portuguese national team roster.

However, because the league has just ended, the players need to rest.

So, Quaresma doesn't need to go to the national team to report right away, he has about two weeks of vacation to enjoy.

In a beach villa in Sardinia, Quaresma and busy super agent Jorge Mendes finally have time to meet.

"Aston Villa has decided not to renew his lease, so you will get more playing time in the new season," Mendes said.

"I communicated with Coach Fang Jue. Deisler is already thirty years old. As he gets older, Germans can't compete with you."

"Then you have to wait? It means I can only wait for time. Desler did not lose to me, but to time." Quaresma was a little excited.

"I have played much less time in a season than Desler, but the data is much more dazzling than him."

"Why should I be behind him?"

Mendes frowned. He was delighted before that Quaresma performed well, but now, he realized a problem:

Quaresma is a little swelling, this kid is making an old problem again

Floating.

Data talk, taking the Premier League as an example, Deisler scored 9 goals and 8 assists; Quaresma scored 5 goals and 9 assists; the Germans' data is more dazzling. In addition, the most important thing is that Deisler is more comprehensive and has stronger strength.

Of course, as a broker, Mendes cannot tell his employer that you can't do it, you are far inferior to anyone.

Moreover, Mendes knew that the most important thing he was to figure out what Quaresma was thinking and what inspired him to say this.

Just a moment of complaining?

There are still other factors, such as direct influence from the outside world, such as the temptation of a certain team,

...

"Ricardo, you have any ideas," Mendes said. "I have to know what happened to analyze it better and help you."

"Did Mancini call me?" Quaresma said.

"Robert Mancini?" Mendes asked.

"Yes, the one from Manchester City." Quaresma nodded.

"When did it happen?" Mendes frowned. Manchester City did not contact him directly, but directly contacted the players. This was not in line with the rules and was also disrespectful to him.

"Just this morning," Quaresma said, "they call your phone, and they can't even get through three numbers."

Mendes checked and found that his mobile phone was out of power. There were two other mobile phones. The assistant charged him, but he forgot to stay at home.

Mendes smiled bitterly and shook his head, just to tease the little guy. He didn't pay attention when his phone ran out of battery. He left in a hurry and even forgot to take his bag.

"What does Manchester City say?" Mendes asked.

At this moment, Quaresma's cell phone rang and he answered.

"Jorge, look for yours." Quaresma handed his cell phone to Mendes, covering the microphone and whispered, "Mr. Robert Mancini."

Mendes glanced at Quaresma and took the call.

The other party called Quaresma to him at this time point, which only means one thing: Quaresma told the other party that he would come over at this time.

This is worth pondering.

At least it can explain Quaresma's inner tendencies to a certain extent.
