Chapter 780 We are not mercenaries!
Su Dong's manor is located in the eastern suburbs of Wilmslow in the Golden Triangle of Cheshire.
The area covered is extremely large and the investment is also quite high. Even though the construction team pushed forward at full speed, the project took a full eight or nine months. It can be said to be a large project.
After its completion, Su Dong’s manor became the largest mansion in Wilmslow and even in the entire Golden Triangle area.
In addition, the manor was designed by the famous designer Brunner, which made it famous before it was even built.
Brenner is also very ambitious. He wants to use this work, which he praises as the most perfect work ever, to win the major awards in his mind and strive to take his career to the next level.
Coincidentally, as Su Dong moved to Wilmslow, Cheshire, Pepe, who joined with him, also settled here.
He also bought a detached luxury house about one kilometer away from Su Dong's house. The area is about one-third of Su Dong's. It is the most common detached villa in Wilmslow and is equipped with a small swimming pool.
Marcelo and Toni Kroos also rent villas nearby, and David Silva is also considering moving to Wilmslow. He wants to say goodbye to his rental life and buy a property here.
…
The sky was clear and a clean black asphalt road stretched all the way to the end, as if it was connected to the blue sky in the distance.
The walls of Su Dong's house are all cast in one piece of concrete. They are very straight and smooth, giving people an impression of simplicity, elegance and cleanliness.
The gate of the manor is also extremely simple, an electric bronze door without any shape. It seems as if it is embedded in the concrete wall. All kinds of flowers, plants and trees in the manor have protruded out of the wall, turning the manor into a closed kingdom.
It can be said that people on the road cannot see inside unless they climb over the wall.
As evening approached, Manchester City players arrived one after another with their families.
This is the first time that Su Dong has organized a dinner for the players since he became the captain of Manchester City. It can also be regarded as a celebration of his move to a new home.
In order to take good care of his teammates, he collected the eating habits of the players in the locker room and their family's dining habits early on. Through Ronnie's relationship, he specially hired a famous barbecue master from Madrid to come to Cheshire.
There are also famous chefs from Barcelona and Munich, all of whom are well-known chefs from all over the world.
In addition, Su Dong also specially hired famous European circus and magicians to perform on the scene. The purpose was to take care of the women and children and hope to give them a pleasant night.
In addition to Manchester City's first-team players and their families, those invited to attend the event included Su Dong's personal coaching team and their families, Manchester City's coaching staff, Soriano, Begiristain and other management and their families.
It can be said that there are quite a lot of invited guests.
Having learned from the neighborhood disputes caused by the construction of villas by Gary Neville and others, Su Dong paid special attention to building good relationships with the surrounding neighbors this time. Therefore, the entire project progressed very smoothly and no problems arose. It was only during the transfer period that he received attention and harassment from the media.
I have seen it a lot in the media, but when I came to the scene in person, I suddenly discovered that Su Dong’s manor is bigger and more beautiful than what I saw in the media. It is also more technological, and the various smart devices are amazing.
It is precisely because Su Dong’s manor is large enough that it can accommodate so many people from Manchester City for dinner.
Su Dong and Wang Chuqing were the hosts, while Pepe, Marcelo, David Silva, Toni Kroos and others also helped to entertain the guests, especially Marcelo, who was very vivid when he boasted.
It’s really strange to say, there are really huge differences between people.
Sudong and Marcelo came to this town at the same time, the only difference is that Sudong has not moved in yet.
But Marcelo didn't know when and how he had already figured out all kinds of people in the surrounding area. For example, a famous British tennis player lived across the street from Sudong Manor.
"It is said that two years ago, he bought a piece of land specifically for tennis practice and built a professional tennis court."
There was also a certain family. A thief broke into the house some time ago. In anger, he destroyed the wall and rebuilt a more advanced security system. He also sued the town police station.
There is a house in such and such place. The owner was affected by the economic crisis and went bankrupt. Now the house is being sold at a reduced price.
Su Dong watched from afar as Marcelo talked excitedly about everything from the neighbors in the small town to the economic trends to national policies, as if there was nothing he didn't understand. He was really good at talking.
If Su Dong didn't know Marcelo too well and knew this guy's character, he might have been fooled by him.
"This kid may be able to run for president of Brazil in the future." Su Dong said with a smile.
David Silva also laughed and nodded, "With him here, the atmosphere is much more lively."
Who says he isn’t? Marcelo is the type of person who talks a lot but doesn’t make people hate him.
It's a very strange feeling, I'm very popular and can chat with anyone.
…
Barbecue is undoubtedly the most popular food at gatherings.
All the ingredients are carefully selected and airlifted from Spain, and then prepared by the chef of this famous Spanish barbecue restaurant himself, so that all guests can taste the most authentic Spanish barbecue.
Su Dong also invested some money and took out three bottles of champagne to entertain his teammates and coaches.
"Wow, this is the best prize in the Premier League. Are you willing to drink it?" Marcelo was immediately excited.
Everyone started to make a fuss.
According to tradition, after every Premier League game, the player who is named the best player of the match will receive a bottle of champagne as a reward. Su Dong was the best player of the match for Manchester City in the past three games, so he received three bottles of champagne.
Unexpectedly, he took it out and treated everyone directly.
"What's the big deal? I'll give you a bottle in a few days!" Su Dong said generously.
Everyone cheered.
If someone else said this, they would definitely be laughed at, but for Su Dong, getting the best player of the match was a piece of cake. Women and children were eating barbecue and delicacies in the distance, watching the circus and magician's performances, cheering and applauding from time to time, and Manchester City gathered around the artificial lake.
After the champagne was opened, everyone poured a glass, except for a few people like Su Dong who didn't drink and poured water.
Only after Pepe, Marcelo and Toni Kroos had filled everyone's glasses did Su Dong raise the cup of boiled water in his hand.
"First of all, I want to thank everyone here for their support, both on and off the pitch. I am very honored to be awarded the Premier League Player of the Month for August. This is not just for me, but for each and every one of you."
Everyone nodded immediately.
"I solemnly promise everyone here that I will do my best to play well in every game for our team. I hope that after the end of this season, I can lead everyone to achieve outstanding results and let all the media and fans outside who call us mercenaries get to know us again!"
Su Dong's words were applauded by many people present.
Although there are many reasons why they came to Manchester City, professional players can never avoid talking about money.
It may be a bit biased to say that they came to Manchester City for money, but it is certainly not wrong.
Whether it is voluntary or not.
But no one wants to be humiliated as a mercenary. This is unacceptable for professional players.
Su Dong's words also aroused the fighting spirit of the players, letting them know that the world's number one football player was fighting side by side with them! "The next schedule will still be very difficult. We are currently ranked second in the standings. It is very difficult to maintain this score, but I think we have enough strength and potential to defend the results of our hard work, and we are even capable of going one step further to strive for a better result."
"In the next few games, the opponents are not too strong. In the Premier League, Europa League and League Cup, we have enough strength and confidence to beat our opponents, provided that each of us plays every game with all our heart and soul."
"According to the current trend, we will face Chelsea at home in the sixth round of the league, which will undoubtedly be a big test for us and also a test of the value of our current ranking."
When he said this, Su Dong smiled and eased the atmosphere appropriately.
"I always feel that nothing is more convincing than a strong dialogue. We want to prove our strength and prove that we can do it. It's very simple, defeat the opponent in a strong dialogue and get three points."
"As long as we keep the pressure on Chelsea and beat Chelsea at home in the sixth round of the league and reverse the opponent in the standings, who can still call us mercenaries? Who dares to look down on us again?"
When that time really comes, whoever humiliates Manchester City as mercenaries would be making fun of themselves, wouldn’t that be?
"I can't even beat the mercenaries, how can you be so shameless?" "Finally, I still say the same thing. I want to tell you that I didn't come to Manchester City to enjoy myself. If I wanted to rest on my laurels and live a comfortable life, I could go to Real Madrid or stay at Bayern, but I didn't!"
"I came to Manchester City because I have my own pursuits. I want to lead this team to success, and this is not enough just by me. I need you, everyone here, I need your full support!"
"Let's work together and try our best to play every game. I firmly believe that we will get a satisfactory result in the end. This is what my parents and my motherland have taught me since I was a child. It is also the creed of my life!"
Manchester City players were encouraged. Even some players who were unwilling to lose their positions were infected by Su Dong's words and emotions at this moment.
None of them are successful superstars. They came to Manchester City not only for money, but also with hope.
They hope to shine in Manchester City and be seen by fans all over the world!
And Su Dong brought them hope!
