Control one's emotions? What nonsense!
The fans had gone wild. They didn't care about ethics, morals, laws, order, free will, life's perspective, happiness, suffering, gossip, or durian pastries anymore. All that mattered now was...
This was the right decision, the only right decision!
At this moment, Guardiola was also preparing for the evening's press conference. This was the second time he was appearing as the manager of Manchester United.
The media would certainly hope for Cao Baming to appear. After all, he wasn't just any football owner; he was a legend, and the person the fans talked about the most.
However, Cao Baming had no intention of attending. Guardiola would have to bear the brunt of it alone.
The Manchester City fans probably hated him, but he didn't care.
Because, to lead his most cherished players back onto the field for matches in the final years of his coaching career was a dream too beautiful to even dare to imagine.
Moreover, this was a completely upgraded version of the original Barcelona, an all-around upgraded version.
The players respected him immensely, and Cao Baming respected him just as much. Everything felt like a gift bestowed by the heavens, so beautiful it was almost excessive.
The fans' reaction to this news had officially surpassed that of the previous day, and this was only the second piece of news, with some expectation already in place.
Soon, the fans shifted their attention to other players: Hakimi, Carlos, Messi... these were all top-tier players in the world today!
They had initially thought that Manchester United signing so many superstars yesterday was the end of it, but today, they were continuing to add more!
It was clear that Cao Baming was aiming for the strongest lineup. Regardless of how difficult it was to acquire players, he could do it. He had fulfilled the dream of every football manager for a lifetime!
To build the strongest lineup! Normally, fans could only try this in games, and even getting a high-rated gold card was a problem; very few actually succeeded.
But Cao Baming was achieving this in the real world!
Looking at the current team's configuration, the fans felt a deep sense of awe. It was easy to predict that the Premier League would be completely transformed next season.
All the structures that had been painstakingly built over a long time would be fundamentally altered when the new season began, and it all seemed to point to one name: Cao Baming.
As a player, his joining Nottingham Forest had directly shattered everyone's preconceived notions. He had made it clear that he intended to overturn the entire Premier League single-handedly. As an owner, the all-star, luxurious lineup he had built with immense investment appeared as unshakeable as a final boss.
Would the Premier League of the future no longer have a balanced competitive landscape? Would it become dominated by one team, like Ligue 1?
If that were the case, would it be good news or bad news?
Thinking of this, the fans felt a sense of anticipation for the future. They were filled with expectations; the uncertainty was the most alluring aspect.
And at this moment, watching the trending news, they knew that Cao Baming's actions were far from over. This was not the end. Before the new season started, there would undoubtedly be bigger events.
This night would not be peaceful!
At precisely nine o'clock, Guardiola punctually attended the press conference, giving a brief account of Manchester United's future operational plans and his own thoughts, as well as Cao Baming's.
However, he said nothing about the information Cao Baming had not disclosed, such as the matter of Ronaldo, who was scheduled for final negotiations at the club tomorrow.
Even Cao Baming himself wasn't certain if tomorrow's negotiations would go smoothly, given that Ronaldo still had an emotional bond with Real Madrid.
But the fact that he chose to come in person at least indicated some interest. If the deal could be successfully concluded tomorrow, it would undoubtedly be a great development.
After all, Ronaldo could perfectly fill Max's position and become a starter, a crucial card to play.
In front of Ronaldo, Max would be nothing!
Guardiola's deliberate omission inadvertently revealed some information. The fans, with their keen interpretation, easily deduced that Cao Baming still had trump cards up his sleeve.
Towards the end of the interview, he finally touched upon Messi, Suarez, and Neymar. As soon as he was asked, Guardiola burst into laughter.
He, who had been quite taciturn moments before, instantly transformed into a chatterbox, expressing his genuine feelings.
To reunite with these gifted players at this juncture and work together again was a gift from heaven, a truly wonderful thing!
Guardiola even shed tears as he spoke, and many viewers watching the live broadcast also teared up.
After all, it was something that had accompanied them for ten years, more than ten years!
After the interview concluded, the fans gradually regained their composure but became increasingly aware of the gravity of the situation. These were all real events.
Cao Baming had no intention of stopping. Everything was proceeding according to plan, and in less than a month, the new season would begin.
The players' training could essentially start, and at the very latest, within two weeks.
In fact, even now, Messi and the other two were eagerly heading to the training ground themselves, as if playing football with friends was more enjoyable than partying in bars.
The next day, at ten o'clock, Cao Baming woke up.
However, the difference was that today's high-profile client, Ronaldo, had not yet arrived!
