Super Marshal

Chapter 925: Abidal is not working anymore!

After Manchester City regained the score, Barcelona launched a fierce counterattack.

For a time, the La Liga giants also pressed Manchester City a little embarrassed. Modric also fouled Iniesta and was warned by the referee with a yellow card. This was also the first yellow card of the game.

But soon, Alves also fouled Cristiano Ronaldo and received his second yellow card.

As the game progressed, especially after entering the sixty minutes, although the two sides still insisted on attacking, they began to show a little fatigue. After all, the fast-paced attacking for an hour, even an iron man would be overwhelmed.

What's more, there is half an hour left in the game.

The stadium was temporarily stuck in a stalemate, but in the executive VIP box, everyone was chatting enthusiastically.

But the topic has nothing to do with this highly anticipated Champions League final, but a major earthquake that will detonate European football.

Qatar Investment Authority will acquire Paris Saint-Germain.

"The terms have been basically negotiated and are expected to be completed in early June." Tamim said confidently.

For the acquisition of Manchester City by the Abu Dhabi consortium, he is more envious, because two years have passed, and this investment has proved to be worth thousands of dollars, especially in the past two years, the continuous influx of foreign capital has made European football players worthy. Soaring, high-level stars are hard to find, and there is no market for them.

At least, even if Paris Saint-Germain invests more money, it will not be possible to replicate Manchester City's crazy recruitment of superstars, and it is difficult to reproduce the shocking effect that made a global sensation.

This also made Tamim feel a little disappointed, because the Qatar Investment Agency has only one purpose for acquiring Paris Saint-Germain, advertising effect.

Fortunately, Tamim also got a definite message from Mansour. As long as Manchester City won the Champions League, Alpine is likely to leave Manchester City. This undoubtedly gave Paris Saint-Germain an excellent opportunity to start.

But Paris Saint-Germain only got fourth in the Ligue 1 this season, missed the Champions League, can only participate in the Europa League, and lost to the champion Lille in the French Cup final, which made Tamim a bit dissatisfied, but helpless.

If Paris Saint-Germain is not weak, it cannot be sold so cheaply, is it?

When Mansour heard that Tamim had nearly successfully acquired Paris Saint-Germain, he also smiled slightly, "Have you found the new management team?"

Tamim smiled slightly and pointed to a middle-aged Qatar next to him who seemed to be only about 40 years old and said: "Nasser will be the chairman of Paris Saint-Germain. As for the general manager and technical director, Jorge introduced to me. We have two very good candidates. We are in contact. If we can, we will basically negotiate."

Mansour glanced at Mendes and sighed in his heart, he was really a shrewd businessman.

If the candidate he recommends formally becomes the general manager and technical director of Paris Saint-Germain, wouldn't it be easy for Mendes to send his players to Paris Saint-Germain in the future?

For the Qatar consortium, this is also a very cost-effective deal. With the help of Mendes’ contacts and channels, an experienced management team can be quickly formed, and a competitive team can be built at the same time. The small amount of money lost was not in their eyes at all.

What's more, their real purpose is more than just these.

Qatar has just won the right to host the 2022 World Cup, but this has plunged the small Middle East countries into a huge dispute, because they defeated the two traditional powers of the United States and the United Kingdom this time, so they have been there from the beginning. Many media have exposed the shady behind the World Cup bid and the remarks that the Middle East is not suitable for hosting the World Cup.

For example, not long ago, a French media published an article reporting that Qatar had serious bribery and black-box operations during its bid to host the World Cup, and it even included French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

The media posted a photo of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Tamim and UEFA President Platini having dinner, and at the same time revealed that this happened during the World Cup bid, and before the dinner, Platini and UEFA’s attitude is to support the United States, but after dinner, Platini changed direction and turned to support Qatar, which eventually led to Qatar’s successful bid to host the World Cup in December last year.

After the successful bid, the Qatar Investment Authority also quickly announced its investment in the famous French nuclear energy group.

During its bid to host the World Cup, Qatar also invested 10 million euros and invited Zidane and many other football stars to serve as bid ambassadors, which further increased the doubts about Qatar's bid to host the World Cup.

Recently, in France, the Qatar Investment Authority has also aroused huge repercussions. In addition to the acquisition of Paris Saint-Germain, beIN Media, a subsidiary of Al Jazeera TV, which is owned by the Qatar Investment Authority, bought out the French at a high price of 90 million euros per year At the same time, Bein Media also announced that it will compete for the broadcast rights of La Liga in 2013 for a bundled auction.

What's interesting is that the president of Bein Media is Nasser Halleffi, who will soon be the chairman of Paris Saint-Germain.

Tamim obviously doesn’t care about all kinds of doubts from the outside world, because he believes that these voices will gradually disappear soon. What he really wants to do is to continue to enhance Qatar’s influence in world football and maintain this popularity. Pave the way for the 2022 World Cup.

Therefore, they chose to acquire Paris Saint-Germain, but this is only the beginning.

There are still eleven years from now to the World Cup in Qatar. They will continue to invest in Paris Saint-Germain and strive to build this Ligue 1 league into Europe’s top giants and become Qatar’s most eye-catching gold-letter brand. .

"Abidal is dying!"

Guardiola stood on the sidelines with his eyes fixed on the court, and it was easy to notice Abidal on the back line.

Recently, after Barcelona fell behind by one goal, they launched a crazy counterattack against Manchester City. They launched a continuous offensive in the front court. First, Iniesta passed the ball and Ibrahimovic got rid of Harvey Martinez. A low shot in the penalty area was saved by Cech flying very bravely, followed by Alves on the right side. After the subtle cooperation with Messi, the Argentine's low shot was blocked by Kompany and his big foot was blocked. Relief.

The most threatening thing is that in the 66th minute, after Iniesta and Harvey cooperated two and one, Ibrahimovic got the ball from the front of the penalty area and shot directly, playing fast and fast. Anxious, the angle is also in place, but Cech once again lifted the Swedish center's shot out of the crossbar with one hand, which was able to resolve another crisis.

After Pedro broke through to the bottom line on the left side and passed back, Iniesta followed up with a push shot and hit Cech directly.

Barcelona pressed Manchester City for ten minutes, but they still failed to break Manchester City’s goal. This made Guardiola a little anxious on the sidelines, but more nervous, especially when he saw Abidal bend hard. The appearance of his waist lying on his knees with his hands on his knees gave him an ominous premonition.

The game has entered seventy minutes, if Manchester City score a goal at this time, then this game will be really desperate.

"Let Adriano warm up." Guardiola urged in a deep voice.

Assistant coach Vilanova also noticed Abidal’s situation. After listening to Guardiola’s words, he refused to agree. He turned around and walked to the bench, allowing Brazilian left-back Adriano to warm up quickly, while he himself It's a quick step to keep up, and keep telling Adriano about the current situation on the court.

For this player, Barcelona has only one attitude from top to bottom, not asking for merit, but asking for nothing.

As long as he can hold it, it is considered to be the completion of the task.

"Abidal is almost consumed."

At the Manchester City coaching bench, Sergio Garcia took an Apple tablet and leaned in front of Gao Han.

The above clearly lists Abidal's data. After analysis, it is concluded that the French left-back is already a little overwhelmed.

After all, the consumption of this game is too great.

Gao Han's eyes narrowed slightly and he noticed the movement on the Barcelona coach's bench, but he quickly looked back at the stadium.

"Tell them, try to give the ball to Sanchez."

"Understand." Brian Kidd immediately walked to the sidelines to convey Gao Han's instructions.

Soon, Manchester City launched a counterattack.

The ball passed to Sanchez's side. The Chilean winger quickly dribbled the ball along the right and tried to get into the penalty area from the right side of the penalty area. .

Kaka hit the goal with a kick in the front of the penalty area, slightly wide of the upper right corner.

Although this time the counterattack failed to work, it still shocked Barcelona in a cold sweat.

Whether it is the coaching staff on the sidelines or the players on the field, everyone knows that it is now at a critical moment in the game. Either Manchester City will enter another one, Barcelona will be completely finished, or Barcelona will equalize the score and reverse the situation.

Up to now, the competition is not just a purely technical and tactical contest, but also a test of willpower and desire to win. Neither side will easily give in.

Two minutes later, Manchester City launched another attack. Sanchez took the ball near the edge of the penalty area, but was tackled by Abidal and fell to the ground. The referee Kasai indicated that this was a successful defense and rejected Sanchez's foul appeal.

A minute later, Manchester City's offensive came back ~lightnovelpub.net~ or passed to Sanchez.

After getting the ball, the Chilean winger faced Abidal one-on-one, suddenly started, got rid of the French left back, and made a pass from the bottom.

But this pass was a little too close to the goalkeeper, and Valdes decisively struck out and took the ball off, resolving a crisis for Manchester City.

Manchester City did not seem to intend to retreat, still pressing Barcelona in the half-time forcing.

All the fans in the stadium also realized that the game was at a critical point, and everyone looked at the stadium anxiously.

Valdes handed the ball and Barcelona quickly passed the transfer, but Manchester City launched a frontcourt press, forcing Barcelona to transfer the ball with a big foot, and soon fell to Manchester City's feet.

Xavi Martinez controlled the ball and re-passed it back to the Barcelona half.

After several toss and turns, the ball still fell to the feet of Sanchez on the right, but this time after Sanchez got the ball, before Abidal was close, he quickly crossed to the front of the penalty area and saw Kaka quickly plug in from the back row. After the ball, he walked into the penalty area.

Pique returned to the defense in time, blocking Kaka and the goal, not giving Kaka any angle to kick the goal, and Puyol next to him also stepped forward in time.

But at this moment, they saw that Kakayi was brave. After calmly stopping the ball in the penalty area, he suddenly rubbed his right foot against the ball, rubbed a half-high ball, and removed the ball from Pique and Puyol. Through the gap in the middle, it fell to the left of the goal.

And Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t know when, he threw off right back Alves, chased the goal like a flash of lightning, faced Kaka’s ball, judged the fall, and leaned forward. Rushing to the top, Kaka's pass was pushed into the goal guarded by Valdes.
