Perhaps fans want to see a team with an all-star lineup, from forwards to defenders, all eleven players on the field, and even those on the bench, being the absolute best in football. However, no team can achieve such a thing due to economic constraints.
But now, everything is different, completely different!
Because at this very moment, Cao Baming has an idea, and if a team is under his command, no economic problems, no locker room issues, all problems will cease to exist, because there is no problem he cannot solve.
As for what kind of team he wants to build, it will be entirely up to him, because Cao Baming is the biggest financier and the sole economic supporter behind the team, and no one would dare to disobey his commands.
When the time comes, as long as he wants to buy and sell players casually, these things will be trivial. If you have money, there's nothing you can't do.
He can poach any coach he wants. If the coach is unwilling to come, he will increase their salary tenfold. With such an offer, no normal person could refuse.
The same applies to players. The annual expenses would at most be a few billion. Cao Baming's acquisition of Manchester United is not for profit; he simply wants to play around with it, placing him on a completely different level from all other club owners.
Therefore, all possibilities are open. Building an all-star lineup might seem like child's play. Because what he can achieve is far more insane, on countless levels of insanity.
As for the offer from Manchester United Football Club, according to the latest news from Mike, it is no longer a significant price.
A mere seven billion pounds or so is just a small scratch to Cao Baming.
His financial strength now is not on the same level as it was three months ago. Perhaps at that time, he was still worried about whether he could afford to buy the entire Manchester United club, thinking it was a wild fantasy. But now, this amount of money is nothing.
He could even buy two or three more teams if he wanted, it would be no more than a shopping spree.
Sitting in the car, Cao Baming turned on the headlights, then wrote down all the plans in his mind, and planned to officially execute them starting tomorrow. As for buying the team, Mike is already on it, and by this time tomorrow, the news will be made public.
At this moment, among the list of financiers looking to purchase Manchester United, many consortia are vying for this opportunity. They have quietly learned that a powerful super-financier is brewing his plans from behind the scenes.
This strikes fear into the hearts of everyone, yet they cannot ascertain this person's identity. However, Cao Baming knows, because this person is Mike.
He has always performed well. This guy has been executing his tasks according to his wishes. Instead of exposing himself too early, he let others reveal their hands first.
During the hype surrounding this matter, the price of Manchester United not only failed to increase but even decreased slightly. Perhaps this is also Mike's masterpiece.
Compared to calculations involving finances, Cao Baming feels he is inferior to Mike by a few points. After all, the latter has dedicated all his energy to such matters; he is a very shrewd man.
With such a capable assistant working under him, Cao Baming feels very satisfied and at ease. After finishing his plan, he simply took a picture with his phone and sent it to Mike. Within five seconds, he received a reply.
This reply contained no excessive language, just an "ok" emoji. But seeing this emoji sent by Mike instantly brought a sense of reassurance.
Cao Baming continued to sit in the car for a while, lit a cigarette, and gently confided his thoughts to the sea. Then he pondered other trivial matters before turning to leave.
Although there was some reluctance, reunion and separation are the main themes of life's journey. Even separating from the sea is inevitable.
We will meet again! Cao Baming thought.
Not long from now, a very long holiday will commence, and this will be the beginning of everything.
Although the new season has not truly begun, it has, in fact, quietly started at this very moment.
The question is merely from what perspective one views it.
Cao Baming returned to the villa and slept in his familiar bed.
...
A few days later, the football world was digesting the news: Arsenal had once again emerged victorious in the Champions League final, securing the championship and defeating AC Milan.
This was not an unexpected outcome. What truly made it generate so much buzz was the scoreline: 6:2, a record-breaking score for a single Champions League final match.
Even more exciting was that Cao Baming personally scored four of those six goals.
For a full week, the top three keywords in the news headlines consistently bore the name Cao Baming, and this trend remained unchanged.
As the heat surrounding the Champions League final gradually subsided, the popularity of the name Cao Baming only grew.
Fans were unaware that the excitement from this Champions League final was insignificant compared to a major bombshell about to drop, a mere trifle in comparison.
This was the day the Manchester United players were disbanding. They bid farewell to each other, planning to return to their homes for a two-month holiday.
Max was among them. It had previously been reported that Cristiano Ronaldo would officially sign a contract with the team and permanently leave Manchester United during this break.
This news was considered confirmed, but it did not seem like a major event to the fans, as it had been anticipated for two months.
If one holds a certain expectation before an event occurs, then when it actually happens, it will not feel too surprising and will instead seem like a routine matter.
