Translation of the Mundo Deportivo Story:
Monsour bin Zayed Al-Nahyan bought Manchester City in 2008 for the modest price of 250 million euros. Since then, it has invested in nearly 650 million more signings and Tuesday was presented at the Bernabeu as the champion of the Premier. Watching him play, and despite the sheer quality of the workforce, one can not believe that this team, this coach, is a favorite of Champions.
The City deservedly lost against Madrid, but much worse than the result was the team's image. Ferran Soriano, executive director of the English champions, chaired the meeting with Florentino Perez and that once outside Barca vice president left the stadium without comment. But yes, many imagine him calling New York from the same Bernabeu Pep Guardiola to ask if he would like to live in Manchester and train the army of splendid figures that minimizes their incorrigible Mancini fears tactical.
He did not call. Or Tuesday, or before Tuesday, not yesterday, not today nor tomorrow call. Soriano has not tempted (yet) nor Guardiola has contacted your representative. The chief executive of the City knows that Pep-with whom he negotiated when they met at the club, not listen to anyone until January. In fact, until early 2013, Guardiola does not want to know who talks to Josep Maria Orobitg-which naturally speaks with suitors to offer job-The world's most coach.
At that January day, Guardiola will leave a few days of walking around New York in bicibleta and consider all options. Confirm, for example, that Milan keeps calling each week. That Chelsea would pay what they ask. Know, too, if Ferguson continues at United or returns Moratti out the checkbook to make a great team. And then, after Reyes, there may be new but, to our knowledge, Pep does not aspire to get the rooms at a club sport enapuros for emergencies. It is not giving the economic pitch that would make him, in London, Milan and Paris in the best-paid coach of all time. What today is in the mind of Guardiola is taking over a project. That is, a contract that may come along in a surprise destination. We'll see what happens. It soon for betting.
... And Txiki, City Road
The June 28, 2009 it was confirmed that Txiki Begiristain, DT FCB, grateful to the confidence he showed the outgoing president and incoming estranged, left the club while Joan Laporta left the office he was to occupy Sandro Rosell.
Txiki foreground disappeared and his name appeared in the media only when linked to either team. Rang many times as coach of Chelsea but only now arriving in the Premier seems imminent. His fate, however, is not London but Manchester.
Ferran Soriano, Executive Director of the City, considered the architect of the current Txiki Barca and he wants his side. As others. In fact another former Barca linked to Soriano-Esteve Calzada - outside counsel and in marketing. Txiki is underway. And as will be discussed immediately firm and the City Pep, although Begiristain himself knows better than anyone that Pep not be swayed by anyone and just go where he wants to go
