how I (will) become a football club owner in Siberia

this is a story about a dreaMMM.

1. I made a new friend from Siberia inside the Donetsk stadium yesterday. His English was good enough. He told me of his favorite club in Siberia.
They are poor and had to sell 12 players off last week. He asked me if I know anyone in Suisse who likes to invest in soccer Siberia.
I said I think about it. Always a dreaMMM of mine to become Don Florentino Vu.
when he heard I can speak many languages, including Portuguese, he proposed I help him in WC 2014 and he will help me in WC 2018.
we shook hand to seal a bilateral agreement

2. it was hot and humid. at time England-France was like slow motion. at time, both teams played NOT to lose. Here is the view from my Category 1 seat.



3. there were a lot of neutral and non-local fans in the stadium. and there were lots and lots of russians. and many russians support England. when I asked my new Siberian friend 'why so many russians here. Russia plays in Poland?' he said 'Poland is in the EU and Russia is not so russians need visa and Polish makes it difficult for us to get visa. Ukraine is not in EU and Russia and Ukraine are friends, like USA and Canada. We need not VISA to enter Ukraine.'

3b. there were lot of empty seats as the tickets are too expensive for the locals. it was a buyer market for ENG-FRA and I had 3 extra tickets. but my sales techniques got me to sell all 3 at no loss in less than 1 hour.




4. Andy 'Sweet' Carroll 9 did not play. NOT even 1 minute.

5. I booked a private tent in Camping Park 2012, 30 minutes from city center. The instructions said from the fanzone, there is free bus to CP 2012. From stadium to fanzone, it took me 1 hour. crowded bus, and a long walk through unlit streets, a small park, a bridge over a big body of water (later I found out it is called First City Pond. and yes, there are Second and Third City Pond) and passed the old Shaktar stadium. but there were many fans around so I felt very safe.



6. at the fanzone, the friendly volunteers informed me there are no more free bus to CP 2012. hum. they said 'taxi'. I said 'nyet'. they said 'public bus number 10 to Golden Ring then change to bus 25 to Camping Park'. I said 'nyet'. I told them I do not speak ukranian nor russian. how do I say Golden Ring in their language? they said 'we go with you to Golden Ring'. Here is a photo of me and the super friendly volunteers in bus number 10



7. in bus 10, I met 2 drunken ukranian fans. they wanted to invite me to go drinking with them. I said 'nyet'. one of them told me to exchange shirts (like the slogan of UEFA). see photo of a new swiss fan in Donetsk?



8. at Golden Ring the volunteers found out bus 25 does not run anymore. there were some other fans waiting there for bus 25 so the volunteers negotiated with taxi drivers and I paid less than 3 EUR to share taxi with a russian couple for 30 minute ride to CC 2012.



9. AT CC 2012, I saw a big fence and the security guards in combat fatigue. there were also policemen and there were also a few guys with bullet proof vests. very safe CC 2012. I had my own private tent. I got in my tent before midnight. a big roar as the game ended and Ukraine won. the DJ played techno music at full volume for the next few hours. somehow I managed to fall asleep.



11. Perhaps I could fall asleep because my dreaMMM will soon be fulfilled. When I entered CC 2012 late last night, I met these sales ladies from MMM. Their company advertised that if you want to buy IPAD, go on expensive holidays, buy fancy car, own a luxurious apartment and you do not have enough money, MMM can help you. for a small investment, you will get interest from 10 to 75% depending on how long you invest (e.g. 200 USD invested will become 800 USD after 3 months. after 6 months, 1500 USD)


like this I can become Siberia football club owner sooner than later.

and I must inform my company Asset Management division.

Privit from the Don Bass Hotel in Donetsk where I am making some more new friends and looking for new businesses.
