On this day, July 30, 2019, Málaga made the signing of Shanji Okazak officiali. The Japanese striker came with the letter of freedom after finishing his stage with Leicester with whom he won the Premier League in 2016. It was a signing that delighted Malaguismo, sad for his defeat in promotion promotion against Deportivo, but hopeful for a better future. A chimera. Everything bothered him, who else! lord Abdullah bin Nasser Al Thani.
Okazaki had been training with the team for five days while waiting for the horrifying president / tweeter to authorize his transfer. A signature was enough. The Japanese, a footballer of recognized career and prestige, weathered this contempt of the insufferable sheikh with the best disposition. Finally, Al Thani took a few seconds of his valuable time in the networks to make it official that Okazaki was from Málaga.
The social unrest over the indefiniteness and passivity of Al Thani was tremendous. Painted in La Rosaleda against the owner of the club. Al Thani pesetero! “Al Thani go now!”, “Sons Al Thani, living people!” or “Get out of Malaga!”. The sheik, in his absurd world of levitation, mysticism and Twitter, continued to believe himself Gandhi.
LaLiga pressed Málaga to adapt the salary limit to its new and precarious reality. But Al Thani torpedoed all the initiatives of the club to obtain money in the form of transfers. You already know the story …
And good. As the summer market closed, Al Thani continued to do his thing. He despised Señé. Stoichkov and Simón Moreno, imposed Benkhemassa and almost ended Villarreal's patience in the transfer of Ontiveros. Without that sale, Malaga would not have been able to start the League.
But that saving sale was not enough. Iván Rodríguez, José Rodríguez, Mula and Okazaki could not be registered. The Japanese gave all the facilities and was even willing to play at least. In vain. He went to Huesca to the dismay of Al Thani's liking and indifference.
Some time later, the sheik, already removed from his duties, announced this ‘wonder’ in his theatrical and crazy social networks. “Okazaki will be with us next year.” As you know, Okazaki has renewed with Huesca for another season to play in the First Division. At least, with luck, Málaga seems that it will not suffer Mr. Al Thani again.
