As night falls, the eastern suburbs of the town are bustling with activity.
The two-lane road to and from the road became so congested that the town's police station had to send officers to the corner of the intersection early to remind all passing vehicles to take a detour.
"I'm sorry, the front is closed to traffic tonight, could you please take a detour?"
A policeman knocked on the window of a Mercedes-Benz and asked.
Although he was asking, his tone was more like a reminder, or even a request.
"We are just going to a party, sir." The driver lowered the window and said to the police.
"Is there an invitation letter?" The policeman stared into the distance and did not notice the driver in the car.
"It's me, Mr. Police." the driver reminded again.
The policeman turned his head and saw the blind spot in the car, and was immediately surprised.
"Oops, I'm sorry, Vincent, there are too many people tonight, we can't handle it."
After finishing speaking, the police immediately shouted to their colleagues who had set up a roadblock not far away, indicating that they should be let through quickly.
"Hey, Vincent, are the people sitting next to and behind you the new players in our team?" the policeman asked with a smile.
His eyes were very sharp, and he looked through the filmed car window and saw the passengers sitting in the front passenger seat and the back seat.
"Yes, that's right." Kompany smiled.
"OK! Everyone must work hard in the new season! Try to win a Champions League back!"
The policeman saluted and patted the roof of the car, indicating that he should pass quickly and prepare to check the next car.
…
After the Mercedes Benz passed the roadblock, it headed east along the town trail.
"Is the battle so big? Even the police were alerted?" Azar sat in the middle of the back row, where he could easily see what was going on through the gap in the front seat.
There were people everywhere along the way and it was very lively.
"We haven't had such a big battle before, and I don't know what happened tonight." Kompany said complainingly.
If there are too many people, the car will not go fast.
The journey that used to be reached in a blink of an eye now has to be climbed slowly.
When they arrived at their destination, they were all stunned again.
Darling, I thought there were a lot of people on the road just now. Unexpectedly, when I came to the door, I found that there were even more people, and they were all armed with long guns and short cannons, well-equipped, and some even had drones deployed.
"Hey, Vincent." Someone next to him knocked on the car window.
When Kompany found out it was a Manchester City staff member, he immediately lowered the window and said hello.
"What's going on?" Kompany was surprised.
"Reporters didn't know where they got the news, and they all gathered around. Dozens of media and more than a hundred reporters came to the scene, and the number is still increasing. Therefore, we can only come here temporarily to provide reinforcements."
Kompany, Courtois and Hazard in the car were all surprised.
This is simply a big battle!
"That car..." Kompany asked with some embarrassment.
"Leave it to me. I'll park in front and you go in first."
As soon as the driver finished speaking, he saw the troubled looks on the three people's faces and understood immediately.
There were too many media reporters at the scene, and they were afraid they would be blocked as soon as they got off the bus.
"Don't worry, Su came out just now and told them that they can take photos and interviews, but the players' wishes must be respected, and they must not affect the party, so drones are not allowed, and they will not
Containment.”
Sure enough, not far away, the drone that had just been released was taken back after being reminded by the on-site staff.
After a pause, the staff member couldn't help but laugh, "Su has already made temporary arrangements and plans to place a dozen or twenty tables of banquets at the entrance, specifically to entertain these media reporters. The club's
People from the public relations department also came over."
Kompany and the other three were stunned for a moment after hearing this. Even though Kompany is the vice-captain of Manchester City, when has he ever experienced such a battle?
That’s more than a hundred reporters!
But they still trust the people in the club.
I saw Kompany and the three of them opening their car doors, and there was a burst of snapping and snapping sounds all around.
All the reporters' long guns and short guns were aimed at them, and some reporters were even broadcasting live.
Kompany looked at Courtois, who was in formal attire, and then at Hazard, who was in casual attire. Finally, when he saw himself in sportswear, he suddenly felt very regretful. Why had he never thought of going home to change clothes?
Woolen cloth?
After scratching his bald head, Kompany had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in.
"Hey Vincent, can I interview you for a few questions?"
"Stop and answer a few of our questions, okay?"
"Hazard, what made you decide to join Manchester City?"
"Courtois, they all said that you are going to challenge Joe Hart for the main position. Is that true? Are you confident?"
A group of reporters kept asking questions, but no one came to block the road.
This made the three of them feel reassured and quickly walked in the door.
…
As soon as I entered the gate, I immediately felt a sense of enlightenment.
It’s so big inside!
It wasn't Kompany's first time here, but he was amazed every time, and Hazard, who came here for the first time, was even more stunned.
The whole manor is so dreamy!
"This is designed and built by a very famous German designer. In just one year, it has won many authoritative architectural awards. It can be said that it is the whole of Wilmslow, no, the whole of Cheshire, and even the whole of Wilmslow.
One of the finest luxury homes in the UK."
Although neither Courtois nor Hazard owns their own luxury homes, they know something about it.
For such a luxury property, the competition is not just about hardware, but also about software.
Su Dong was waiting for guests not far from the entrance. As soon as he saw Kompany and the others coming in, he immediately came to greet them.
"Hello, Vincent."
Su Dong stretched out his hand from afar and shook Kompany's hand, and the two embraced warmly.
"Thibaud." Sudon hugged Courtois again.
When it was Hazard's turn, Su Dong shook hands with him, called his name, and said, "Eden, we talked on the phone." Then, Su Dong leaned over and hugged Hazard.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This was the first time that Azar had such close contact with Su Dong, and he felt flattered.
In fact, as early as when he decided to join Manchester City, Hazard had asked Zidane a lot about Su Dong on the phone. Zidane and Su Dong were also close friends for many years, so they naturally knew everything.
He spoke endlessly and spoke highly of Su Dong, which further strengthened Hazard's intention to join Manchester City.
"I'm sorry, I originally planned to hold a private party, but the media reporters outside got the news and all came here. In the end, it ended up like this." Su Dong expressed his apology.
This is not the first time Manchester City has had dinner at Su Dong's manor.
In the past year, Manchester City had many dinner parties at Sudong Manor. At first, not many people paid attention, but gradually some media reporters came to take pictures, but this is the first time that there are so many now.
"I think it's because of you." Su Dong smiled and patted Azar on the shoulder, saying with admiration.
The implication is that this group of media reporters are here after the new players.
Su Dong's words made both Hazard and Courtois quite disappointed.
Who doesn’t like to be praised, especially by the world’s number one superstar in person? Isn’t this an honor?
…
Su Dong could not entertain them for too long and indicated that they could do as they pleased.
The huge manor was decorated as a party venue, and the guests entertained were all Manchester City players, coaching staff and important employees.
It is said that everyone including Chairman Mubarak, General Manager Soriano, Technical Director Begiristain, and Head Coach Guardiola will be invited to participate.
Although it was held by Su Dong personally, it was actually an official gathering before Manchester City's new season training camp.
Kompany took two Belgian compatriots around the manor, which made Courtois and Hazard marvel at the dreaminess of this manor, and at the same time lamented Sudong's intention for this party.
There was a special area for entertaining female family members, and they were received by Su Dong's fiancée Wang Chuqing. She was a very beautiful oriental beauty who was said to have a doctorate from Oxford University Law School.
There is also a children's play area with a lot of children's play facilities, such as clowns playing with children, a thrilling circus, and a magician specially invited by Su Dong from China to perform. The wonderful performances are amazing.
The guests and children at the scene screamed.
In addition, Su Dong also specially invited famous British bands to hold concerts on site.
It can be said that Su Dong has taken great pains to entertain his Manchester City teammates.
"In the past, the treatment at our gatherings was not as high-standard as today, but it was still very good. For example, the chefs were definitely hired from London and other places, and some of them were chefs with three Michelin stars." Kompany laughed.
He said.
It can be seen that the Belgian central defender is still very satisfied with Su Dong's reception in the past.
Courtois and Hazard were both amazed.
It’s not like they haven’t attended team dinners before at Genk and French Ligue 1 Lille, but it was just a meal at best. When did they have such a big battle like now?
"Does it cost a lot to hold such a party?" Azar asked distressedly.
Kompany nodded, "It will cost hundreds of thousands of pounds, or even seven figures."
"So many? Are they all done by Su Dong himself?" Azar couldn't believe it.
"Earlier, the club wanted to reimburse him, but he refused. Sometimes during dinner parties, he would give us gifts, such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, game consoles, or razors, all of them.
It’s high-end stuff.”
With that said, Kompany took out the latest Apple mobile phone from his pocket and waved it in front of two national team teammates. "This mobile phone was given by Su Dong during the Christmas dinner last year. The whole team, including the coaching staff and
Employees, one for each person.”
Courtois and Hazard were both a little dumbfounded.
Nima, isn’t this too rich?
But when they thought about Su Dong's annual salary and income, they all felt that poverty limited their imagination.
Given Su Dong's height, is money important to him?
Just look at Kompany and you will know that in this way, Kompany admires Su Dong to the extreme. It can be imagined how high Su Dong's status is in the Manchester City locker room.
Isn't this more important than money?
Thinking of this, both Courtois and Hazard felt that they should carefully study their position in the Manchester City locker room and tactical map.
