Chapter 496: Chapter 496

"Agüero and Nasri have an irreconcilable conflict!"

After watching Tang Long’s brilliant performance against Juventus on TV,

Agüero deliberately called CEO Belgistan in front of Ranocchia, loudly proclaiming this declaration.

He intentionally shouted it for Ranocchia to hear, or perhaps also for Tang Long to hear.

Once December arrives, Christmas will come soon, and in the blink of an eye, this year will be over, heading into 2016.

Agüero is aware of his injury; Gracie told him he cannot make a comeback this year.

Every professional player thinks about two things when injured.

The first thing is hoping that they can recover quickly and return to the field soon;

The second thing is worrying about their condition upon return, whether they can get back to their pre-injury level and reintegrate into the team quickly. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveI[F]ire.net

Bony scored again today!

Seeing Bony play better as the leading striker while he is injured made Agüero wordlessly worried—there’s no way he couldn’t be!

When Bony scored, Agüero applauded and cheered, but inside, he was burning with anxiety!

As a professional player, Agüero knows that in the fast-moving world of Manchester City Club, no one is irreplaceable.

Although he remains a hero in the hearts of Manchester City fans, seen as a legendary figure in the club’s history for a long time;

Agüero also knows he’s not from Manchester City’s youth academy; he wasn’t groomed by this team from the start. Coming from Atletico Madrid, essentially, he’s a mercenary!

Even when healthy, scoring goals without fail, being an irreplaceable dagger on the frontline;

If, after his return, his form doesn’t pick up, if he fails to score for four or five matches, will the fans not curse him?

Fans buy tickets to see goals and wins, not to watch some so-called legendary figure.

From the club’s perspective, paying him a high salary, at the forefront of the payroll, if he doesn’t deliver goals as a striker, what’s his value?

Tang Long’s assists to Bony in this match mesmerized even the battle-hardened Agüero!

At such a spot, such an angle, under intense pressure from so many Juventus players, he could predict Sterling’s surge three seconds early, creating a huge gap between Bonucci and Barzagli, then unexpectedly lob the ball with precision, assisting Bony in a goal.

Ninety percent of this goal’s credit should go to Tang Long alone.

After my comeback, not to mention whether I can immediately push Bony out, even if I get on the pitch, can I receive the same support from Tang Long that Bony gets?

These are all uncertain, and Agüero dares not draw conclusions.

So he must act first, fully supporting Tang Long, expressing his stance clearly.

As the leader of the gang, his attitude also represents the attitude of the entire Spanish Language Gang!

He not only needs to support Tang Long himself but also has to bring Silva, the number two in the Spanish Language Gang, into the fold.

Manchester Evening News: Nasri speaks the truth - unity is our magic weapon to win!

24-Hour News: The whole of Manchester City is of one mind, united as one!

The Guardian: Nasri calls for a public team boycott against The Sun!

Der Spiegel: With Tang, Manchester City is unstoppable, securing the group lead in advance!

Manchester City CEO Belgistan sat in his office, looking at the wide table entirely covered with freshly printed newspapers, furrowing his brow.

Commercial Director Belada, chewing gum and with both hands in his suit pockets, stood by the glass window, overlooking Manchester City’s team training.

His focus was especially on Nasri.

"Nasri is pretty active in training today," Belada chuckled, "in the usual 30-meter sprints, he always slacks the last meter, but today he pushed hard on each step, even touched the white line, interesting."

Belgistan slightly nodded and then inquired about Belada’s attitude.

These two are both executives of the City Football Group and the Abu Dhabi Consortium, appointed as the management heads of Manchester City Club.

Their attitude toward Nasri would directly decide the fate of the Frenchman in the team.

"Attitude? I’ve reiterated it; my stance is very clear."

Belada walked back from the window and sat across from Belgistan.

"Terminate the contract with him immediately, no conditions whatsoever."

But Belgistan shook his head, not agreeing.

"That’s too reckless! We could choose to sell him in the winter transfer window, after all, he still holds a value of 20 million euros on Transfermarkt, we can recover some losses."

Belgistan then discussed with Belada the UEFA Financial Fair Play regulations to be implemented soon.

"You know, these years haven’t been peaceful, our Abu Dhabi Consortium, because of its wealth, draws envy and resentment."

"The Financial Fair Play regulations will soon take effect, from now on, the club cannot endlessly enjoy free injections from the parent company; it must be financially self-sufficient, or face UEFA’s bans and transfer prohibitions."
