Chapter 550: Chapter 549: B Fee is Furious to the Point of Autism, Little Harland Acknowledges Kai as a Father (Rushing the Rankings Today)
Hierro greatly admired Guardiola’s unique insights into tactics, and he was more convinced of Guardiola’s football wisdom than many others.
"Hi, Pepu." Hierro answered the phone.
"Fernando, would you be willing to play a season of football without a salary?" Guardiola got straight to the point.
Hierro reacted as if he had seen a ghost, "Am I crazy not to take a salary? Well, of course, I can disregard a season’s salary, and I can disregard money. But I don’t need to waste a year of my life!"
Guardiola laughed, "It’s not a waste! Because this year, you could attend Maxa’s tactical guidance masterclass for free! Trigella will also frequently appear in tactical discussions."
"Aren’t you very curious about the complete tactical system of Lisbon Athletic?"
"Come to Manchester City! Not only will you get to attend the masterclass for free, but you’ll even have the chance to personally experience the training they arrange and the subtle tactical adjustments to the team!"
"This will be the most valuable asset for your future when coaching the Spain team!"
"In that case, could you accept not getting a player’s salary for one year? Or else... after you actually retire, you could pay a sum of money to hire Maxa and Trigella for lessons, but you know how it is with commercial courses, it’s hard to learn the real stuff!"
Hierro was stunned, and then it dawned on him, "Is that why you joined Manchester City?"
Guardiola corrected Hierro, "No, that’s why I joined Lisbon Athletic! From that moment, I knew that’s where the world’s best head coach and tactical master were!"
"Not just me, Deschamps, Matthaus, Schmeichel, they all came for that reason."
Hierro immediately got it, "No wonder! I knew it!"
Guardiola, "So, are you coming or not? If not, I’m calling the other old guys!"
Hierro, "I’m coming! Of course I’m coming! Only a fool wouldn’t!"
The next day.
Hierro issued a statement on "The Football Understanding Emperor": "I am forever loyal to Real Madrid, but to Real Madrid, not Florentino."
"If the club decides to terminate the contract with me, to clear my name, I will join Manchester City and play for them for a year without taking a penny!"
"If I do this, would Florentino still dare to say that I have reached this point with the club because of greed? I hope the fans can wake up, Real Madrid has come to the brink of crisis!"
"The Galacticos may look beautiful, but they are like a bubble, ready to burst at any moment."
"I have a simple question. If Real Madrid still can’t win the Champions League after having Ronaldo, even after having many more top offensive stars, what then? One year, two years, three years... What’s the explanation for that?"
"Pavon is a good kid, but he’s not yet capable of playing at the highest level, and Florentino is destroying everyone. He’s ruined me, ruined Pavon, ruined every superstar, and in the end, ruined Real Madrid!"
Hierro’s post was deeply moving.
However, Real Madrid immediately announced within an hour that an agreement had been reached with Hierro to mutually terminate the remaining one-year contract.
Real Madrid acted to uphold Florentino’s reign.
Manchester City also immediately announced the signing of the legendary player Hierro to the team!
Manchester City fans were pleasantly surprised, posting slogans of "Welcome Hierro" across social media platforms.
Ronaldo: No way, Hierro counts as ’Ronaldo’ too?
From then on, the small Manchester... City, unexpectedly boasted Deng Kai, Baggio, Hierro, Schmeichel, Guardiola – five great stars!
Guardiola: Hahaha, just barely, barely ha.
Plus, promising stars like Adriano, Cech, Lahm, Torres, Maicon, Tu Lei, Essien, and others.
As well as seasoned veterans like Lehmann, Fowler, Grosso, Sun Jihai, etc.
Even with the dead weight like Ribery, Ashley Young, Dio, Chiellini, Caballero, Feng Te, the future was already lit up.
Feng Te: What do you mean by putting me last?
Tao: "Head and tail," to match your greatness!
Feng Te: Well written! V you 50!

"Hello everyone, I’m Huang Jianxiang, and standing beside me is our station’s new intern, Zhan Jun."
"We’re currently at Maine Road Stadium, which will also serve as Manchester City’s home ground next season! Of course, this is also the last season for Maine Road Stadium."
"After the end of next season, this stadium will be demolished and redeveloped into a residential community as part of the Moss Side and Rusholme improvement project."
"So for those friends who’ve become fans of Manchester City this season, especially due to the signing of Deng Kai, this is where it all starts for us, but also where it ends for them."
"Over here... On my left, the kid wearing the Manchester City training attire is Bruno Fernandes. Some fans might recognize him; he’s an ardent supporter of Sporting Lisbon."
"The foul by Luis Enrique on Deng Kai ignited the fury of Portuguese fans, and young Bruno was the whistleblower of the movement condemning Enrique!"
Zhan Jun nodded repeatedly at Huang Jianxiang’s hosting skills.
So strong!
Was that really whistleblowing?
Making the act of smashing someone’s car windows with stones sound so literary!
"Of course, although young Bruno appears normal, he’s actually a child with autism," revealed Huang Jianxiang, sharing some secrets, "which almost led to every youth team rejecting him."
"But with the help of Deng Kai, young Bruno finally joined Manchester City’s youth training."
"It has to be said, this is a team filled with humanitarian care."
Zhan Jun was dumbstruck.
Is that really the case?
Why do I understand from the Internet that after Bruno smashed Enrique’s car window, he faced serious charges, and although he was a minor, his parents had to compensate Enrique with a large sum of money?
It was under the guidance of a mentor that Bruno was diagnosed with autism.
So when you talk about his autism, is he really autistic?
"Of course, Manchester City’s humanitarian care isn’t only reflected in the young players but also in taking care of the veterans," Huang Jianxiang said, this time gesturing for Alfie Haaland to enter the frame.
"Fans familiar with Manchester City might not be few, ahem... probably all know the player beside me, he is the recently retired captain of Manchester City, Alfie Haaland!"
"For the past two seasons, Haaland has been plagued by injuries."
"As for how he got these injuries, you might find the answers in Keane’s autobiography."
Old Haaland interjected, "Don’t buy his official autobiography! It’s not worth it!"
Huang Jianxiang laughed loudly, assuring Old Haaland he was worrying too much, "Alfie, may I ask what are you mainly responsible for in the team now?"
Old Haaland replied, "I’m now the shooting coach of the team, Maxa and Deng Kai think my shooting technique is excellent. My recent key task is training the players in long-range shots, which will become an important scoring method for us in the new season."
"Additionally, I must thank Deng Kai, I heard it was his suggestion that convinced the club to keep me."
"And I never expected that he’d be willing to be my child’s godfather!"
"Look, they’re right over there!"
The camera followed Old Haaland’s hand.
Deng Kai was holding a fierce-looking little boy, displaying a kind smile.
Huang Jianxiang turned pale, "Your child really looks... vicious."
Old Haaland laughed heartily, "Yes, he looks very healthy! His name is Erling Haaland, oh, no... he’s now Erling Kai Haaland!"
In the frame, the two-year-old little Haaland showed a savage smile.
[PS: The last recommendation didn’t even make it to first place in its category, unbelievable! Write, keep writing, little peach! Begging, continue asking for monthly tickets and rewards! I won’t rest until I get first place today, come on!!!]
