"Do you want to be the king of football?"
"Yes!"
Su Dong embarks on a journey to become the king of football!
Chapter 600 When the Magic Bird Meets Barcelona...
No one knew that while someone far away in the Middle East was shouting that he had a lot of money, Su Dong was lying on his bed at his home in Grünwald, a suburb south of Munich, Germany, having a headache about how much money he had.
Why?
Because domestic housing prices have fallen! As the US subprime mortgage crisis has spread, the whole world has been affected, and domestic housing prices have also been affected.
Didn't Su Dong's parents just return to China with a large sum of money a while ago, waiting to buy a property? You must think that they saw the housing prices fall and wanted to back out, or even sell their previous investments, right?
They are going to increase their investment. According to his father Su Wenji , this is a perfect time to buy at the bottom. It is definitely worth spending all your savings. Since they have even spent all their savings, they will naturally not let their precious son go.
However, now they have learned their lesson and will not tell Su Dong directly. Instead, they will first convince Wang Chuqing and let her talk nonsense and make indirect suggestions before they take action themselves.
This is called saving the country in a roundabout way!
When he woke up early in the morning and Wang Chuqing told Su Dong what his parents meant, Su Dong felt "wronged".
"Now I have every reason to believe that you are their daughter and I am just a live-in son-in-law. You are the closest to them, and I have no status in this family. I am just a wallet."
What Su Dong said was interesting and Wang Chuqing was also amused.
She wasn't worried about Su Dong's relationship with his parents at all, this was purely a complaint.
"You? A live-in son-in-law? Have you ever seen a family that puts all its properties on the shoulders of a live-in son-in-law?"
This is true. Su Dong stopped complaining when he heard it.
Real parents are still real parents.
"What do you think?" Su Dong asked.
Wang Chuqing thought for a moment, "In fact, domestic housing prices have been rising in the past few years. I have compiled the data and compared the real estate addresses given by my uncle and aunt. I found that they have actually increased a lot. Some have doubled or tripled. No matter how much they fall, I won't lose money."
"Is it so outrageous?" Su Dong was very curious.
He really never cared about the issue of housing prices.
"What do you think? The house you live in in Shanghai has more than doubled in price. Don't you feel uncomfortable living there?"
Su Dong nodded, indeed he didn't feel anything.
He really didn't know that housing prices had gone up, he just always thought that his parents were buying.
"I asked my parents, and they both think that the current downward trend is due to the impact of the US subprime mortgage crisis. In the long run, they are still optimistic about first- and second-tier cities, and there are not many good investment channels at the moment, so..."
When Su Dong heard this, he couldn't help but think of a piece of news he saw these two days.
The Abu Dhabi consortium from the Middle East wants to acquire Manchester City.
Not long after Thaksin acquired Manchester City, he was overthrown by domestic opposition forces. Now he is in exile and wants to sell Manchester City. Fortunately, the Abu Dhabi consortium from the Middle East is about to take over.
But what really attracted Su Dong was not this, but the Abu Dhabi consortium's massive acquisition of real estate, banks and other hard currencies in the UK, such as the Knightsbridge area in London, including the famous Harrods department store.
He never imagined that his parents would have the same ideas as the wealthy conglomerate in the Middle East.
Speaking of the Abu Dhabi consortium's acquisition of Manchester City, Su Dong has heard that this consortium is richer than Abramovich, and it is estimated that once it enters the market, it will stir up some news in the European football scene.
"My uncle and aunt asked me to go back to China." Wang Chuqing said suddenly.
Su Dong was stunned, "Why?"
Ever since the two began living together shamelessly, they have been together every day except when Su Dong is out for training and competitions.
"They said there were a lot of things they needed me to handle."
Su Dong was helpless. Since he established a relationship with Wang Chuqing, Su Dong had handed over all his legal-related business to her. She handled it very well, which made Su Dong and Mendes feel at ease.
His parents are in the country, and Su Dong can't help with many things. They really need someone to help them deal with some things.
Ultimately, there are too many houses.
How could Wang Chuqing not know Su Dong's thoughts? In fact, she was also reluctant, but there was no way, someone had to do the work.
"It's okay, I'll go back and deal with it, and I'll be back soon." Classmate Xiao Wang patted Su Dong's back exposed to the air and comforted him.
But unexpectedly, Su Dong suddenly threw her onto the bed, scaring her so much that she screamed.
"What are you doing?"
"Of course it's for serious business."
"It's so early in the morning. Didn't you just spend the whole night?"
"Well, you don't know, after a month of training, I was so uncomfortable that Ruhua turned into Diaochan."
"Your new season is about to start. Is it okay for you to indulge yourself like this?"
"Don't worry, I promise I'll be in better shape than ever."
"Then... come on!"
"Look at how greedy you are. I promise you won't be able to get out of bed today."
"Mr. Su, don't be a theorist, be a down-to-earth doer. Today I'm going to make you walk with your hands on the wall!"

…………
Near noon, Camp Nou Stadium in Barcelona.
The press conference hall was packed early on.
Media reporters from all over the world gathered together, waiting for the most special person to appear.
This was Mourinho's first press conference as coach of Barcelona, attracting the attention of media and fans around the world.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Everyone wants to know what chemical reaction will occur when the Magic Bird meets Barcelona? Big names are always late, and Mourinho was eight minutes late this time.
Protected by President Rosell and Vice President Bartomeu, Mourinho walked in with a smile and sat down directly in the protagonist's seat. It was obvious that he was already the owner of this stadium.
The media reporters at the scene had different opinions on Mourinho. Some liked him very much, while others hated him. But no matter what, no one could deny that he was one of the most successful head coaches in world football today.
And now, Barcelona needs success so much!
…
Mourinho is still the same as usual, offending people every time he opens his mouth.
The first question from the media reporter was intended to stir up trouble. He directly pointed out the remarks made by Barcelona godfather Cruyff in his column some time ago that criticized Mourinho, believing that Mourinho had violated Barcelona's tradition.
Mourinho scoffed at this.
"Barcelona's current football style was probably formed during the Robson era more than a decade ago. At that time, I worked at Barcelona for four years and witnessed how the team went from chaos to stability. What's interesting is that the people who created the chaos in Barcelona were precisely those who could only speak nonsense in their columns."
When Mourinho said this, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Everyone knew that he was talking about Cruyff.
So sharp!
Mourinho said that no one knows Barcelona's style and what it needs better than him.
But some media pointed out that the players introduced by Barcelona this summer are all powerful players, such as Seydou Keita, which makes many people worry that Mourinho wants to train Barcelona into another Chelsea.
Mourinho also scoffed at this, believing that there are no two identical leaves in the world, nor two identical teams. Barcelona will continue to stick to a technical style of play, but needs to play braver and more aggressively, which will make Barcelona more sharp.
"Manchester United's style comes from Ferguson, and Arsenal's style comes from Wenger. They both have long-term coaching experience. Barcelona's chaos in the past two years has proved that the team's style is no longer suitable for the current football environment, so I came here."
"But what I want to say is that you should not expect me to reach the heights you expect in a short period of time. This is impossible, because the most important thing for Barcelona now is victory. Only by constantly winning can we have the leisure to discuss what style we should adopt."
"It's like a homeless person who has been hungry for a few days. You shouldn't discuss food with him. You should tell him what to eat. He should fill his stomach first before he studies how to eat well."
Mourinho believes that Barcelona's previous style was to pass and control the ball, but in the past two years, Barcelona has lost its style, or in other words, the style has lacked competitiveness, and a team without style will find it difficult to win in the long run.
"My most important task here is to help Barcelona rebuild its own style."
This summer, Barcelona invested heavily in signings, including Seydou Keita, Cáceres, Alves, Hleb, Pique, etc., all of which were targeted at strengthening the team's lineup, but Mourinho believes it is not enough.
In response to reporters' questions, he made no secret of the fact that he hopes to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United, and he believes that the Portuguese is one of the three strongest players in European football at the moment.
"I am very familiar with Sudong. We have the same agent. I almost signed him before he went to Sporting Lisbon. I know his strength better than anyone else. I think he is like a Japanese love action movie. Everyone likes it, but few are willing to admit it. If you ask me to make a distinction, I think there are only two kinds of teams in the world, teams with Sudong and teams without Sudong. Unfortunately, we used to belong to the former, but now we belong to the latter."
Mourinho's remarks embarrassed both Rosell and Bartomeu, but fortunately the Portuguese madman did not go deeper into the topic.
"When we don't have Su Dong, we have to find a way to build a stronger lineup than the team with Su Dong. If we have Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi at the same time, then we have the possibility of challenging and even defeating Su Dong."
Regarding the transfer, Mourinho said he would call Ferguson personally, hoping that he would release the Portuguese superstar.
Real Madrid is also vying for the player, but Mourinho believes Barcelona has a better chance.
Once this transfer is successful, the transfer fee will exceed 100 million yuan, which is another sky-high transfer price.
Su Dong is definitely a topic that the Barcelona coach cannot avoid.
Mourinho also said that teams all over the world are having headaches about how to defend Su Dong.
"But I want to say that I know him very well and I know how to stop him from scoring. So, I really hope to meet Bayern in this year's Champions League, so that I can lead the team to defeat the defending champion and wipe out the shame of last season."
"I will do my best to help Messi defeat Su Dong and stand at the top of the professional player pyramid!"
