Football: Snapping Up Ronaldinho and Messi from the Start, Who's Next?

He signed Klose for £30,000, snapped up Berbatov for £20,000, landed Van Nistelrooy for £280,000, and beat everyone to Ronaldinho for £550,000.

While the whole world laughed at newly relegated Nottingham Forest, Chen Mo built a dream team worth more than £400 million in the future, spending less than a million pounds.

"Are you crazy? A German carpenter, a lazy Bulgarian, a Dutch second-division nobody. How do you expect to compete with the Premier League giants?"

"With the ball at their feet."

After transmigrating to 1997 and binding the Champion Godfather System, Chen Mo becomes the debt-ridden Chinese chairman of Nottingham Forest. The team has just been relegated from the Premier League, its top scorer is on strike and demanding a transfer, the captain has lost heart, the bank keeps calling to collect its debts, and fans are burning jerseys outside the stadium.

Everyone urges him to sign the bankruptcy papers.

He tears them up, kicks open the locker-room door, and puts the cancerous player up for sale, unloading him for £4.5 million. Then he takes his financial director across four continents, finding one dusty diamond after another where everyone else sees trash.

The Eye of Truth sees through every ounce of potential. His Aura of Authority crushes all dissent.

From the quagmire of League One to the pinnacle of the Champions League, from the brink of bankruptcy to the greatest club in football...

He will put Nottingham Forest's name back on the trophy at the top of Europe.

"There's no such thing as an absolute guarantee in football, but I can guarantee one thing: everyone who follows me will become a legend."
