I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

After defeating the Bundesliga Hornets, Manchester United took a charter flight northward.

Manchester United’s match in the International Champions Cup is very intensive. Just less than 3 days after the end of the match with Dortmund, at 7:30 pm on July 25th, Beijing time, Manchester United will meet at the National Stadium in Beijing, which is the Bird’s Nest. Manchester City's game.

This is also a Manchester City Derby, the first Manchester City match between Ye Su and Guardiola!

This Manchester derby has received a lot of attention, and even national leaders visited the National Stadium to watch the game.

In Ye Su's memory, the game was cancelled because the weather was too hot and the turf was too bad. However, the situation has changed drastically now. Because of Ye Su, the pride of the Chinese football field, and because of the attention from the top of the country, the turf of the Bird's Nest has been maintained at the highest level, and there is no problem in the game.

Ticket sales for this game are very hot. The stadium has the largest capacity to accommodate spectators, that is, 80,000 fixed seats, plus 11,000 temporary seats, all tickets are sold to the outside world.

………………

This is a duel between two super strong teams, and it is also the first city derby duel between two young coaches in the current world football.

Of course, this is not the first duel between Ye Su and Guardiola. In the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season, Ye Su had already played against Guardiola. However, at the time Guardiola was Bayern Munich's head coach, and now he is transformed into the head coach of Manchester United's city rivals Manchester City.

At that time, both of them defeated their opponents at their home courts. In the end, the two teams scored a total score of 5:5. Ye Su won with more away goals and became the winner, and eventually won the Champions League.

This is also the most contrasting game between the two teams this summer.

As the team that won the Champions League, the Premier League, the FA Cup and the League Cup last season, Manchester United has maintained the stability of the team's lineup this summer with basically no major changes. Even Ye Su did not spend a penny on the transfer market, but signed the Swedish superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic for free, and then promoted two players from the club's youth team. The transfer income of the team was positive. The original third goalkeeper Johnstone moved away from Manchester United, bringing in transfer income of 2 million pounds for Manchester United.

Compared to Manchester United's silence in the transfer market, Manchester City can be regarded as the most active team in the international football transfer market this summer.

After failing to qualify for the Premier League title for two consecutive years, the proprietors have thrown money again this trip. The Abu Dhabi consortium, which aims to make Manchester City win more championships, strongly supports the new coach in the transfer market, responding to requests, and Gua Shuai can unscrupulously introduce the people needed to create the Blue Moon Corps branded with its own unique style.

This is expected by the whole world. Guardiola has never been merciful when pursuing the elders from the previous dynasty. Just after coaching Barcelona in 2008, he issued an order to the two important ministers, Ronaldinho and Deco. A year later, he will be another season Eto'o, who scored 36 goals, was also sent away. After joining Bayern, Guashuai drove away Gomez, Gustavo and Timošchuk in the first summer, and sold Mandzukic and Van Bitten who were not compatible with him the following year. Players who are suitable for their team, regardless of their seniority, will be removed.

Now Gua Shuai comes with the ideal and mission to transform Manchester City. New thinking, new tactics and new formations will inevitably require new aids that match them. Old courtiers who cannot meet the requirements will give way.

………………

Manchester City's action in the summer transfer window started very early. Not long after the season ended, that is, on June 2, Manchester City Football Club announced the official signing of Gundogan. The two sides signed a four-year contract. Gundogan's transfer fee was 23 million pounds.

After the opening of the summer transfer market in international football, Manchester City has successively announced several transfers.

On the afternoon of July 1, Beijing time, the Premier League club Manchester City announced through its official website that the club had reached an agreement with Celta on the transfer of Nolito. The Spanish international officially joined Blue Moon and the two sides signed a 4-year contract. . It is worth mentioning that this is also the second new aid introduced by Guardiola for Manchester City after Gundogan.

Manchester City wrote in its official statement: "Nolito signed a four-year contract with Manchester City, becoming Manchester City's second signing this summer."

However, for the details of the transfer, Manchester City officials did not disclose too much. According to the British media Sky Sports, in order to successfully sign the Spanish international, Manchester City paid a transfer fee of 13.8 million pounds to Celta. Earlier, the media had disclosed that Barcelona was close to signing Nolito, but the Spanish international chose to join Manchester City in the end. After the end of this European Cup journey, Nolito has immediately opened the vacation mode, and now he finally has enough time to deal with transfer matters. After flying to Manchester to pass the routine medical examination arranged by the club, the Spanish striker officially signed with Manchester City and is about to start his Premier League journey.

Subsequently, Manchester City announced the signing of Australian international Aaron Mooy.

On July 4, 2016, Manchester City officials announced the signing of 19-year-old Jinchenko, a 5-year contract between the two parties. He also loaned it to the Eindhoven Football Club. In the 2016-2017 season, he played 17 times for Eindhoven and sent 3 assists.

………………

After successive official announcements of the above four transfer transactions, Manchester City temporarily stopped signing. But Ye Su knows that this does not mean that Manchester City stopped introducing players this summer, but that they are brewing a bigger deal.

According to the current news, Manchester City are negotiating with Sane, Jesus, Stones, Bravo, Pogba and many other players.

And Ye Su knows that, except for Pogba’s transfer, which is temporarily uncertain whether it will be successful, the rest of the transfers have occurred in another time and space. Presumably, their transfer to Manchester City is inevitable. In my memory, Manchester City spent more than 200 million euros in signings in this summer transfer window. Now if Pogba also transfers to Manchester City, then Blue Moon's transfer signings in this summer may exceed 300 million euros!

However, because Guardiola arrived for the first time and the player changes were relatively large, Manchester City did not perform well in this game against Manchester United in the Bird's Nest.

………………

"The ball is scored!!!"

"Less than a minute to start!"

"Oh my God, this goal was really fast!"

"Within less than one minute of the opening, Ibrahimovic relied on his personal ability to dribble the ball from the right to the front of the penalty area, hit the goal with a left-footed arc, and set the record for Manchester United!"

"This is definitely a terrible goal!"

"Ibrahimovic seems to be using a goal to demonstrate to Guardiola!"

...

Throughout Guardiola's coaching career, although there are many controversies about him, he has always had a very good relationship with the players. His practice of maintaining to the last minute of the team members at the press conference has been admired by many people. Compared with Mourinho's always “on the management of the locker room”, Guardiola has done a lot better in this regard. Regardless of whether the players have won the main position under Guardiola, almost all players who have experienced his coaching have a good relationship with him, but there is still one player who is an exception-he is Ibrahimovic.

Why does Guardiola maintain a good relationship with the players he has worked with, but Ibrahimovic is an exception?

Some people say that it is the Swedes who are selfish and arrogant, because they are the "only seedlings" of the national team and have been spoiled for them. However, there are more big-name players who have "trained" Guardiola and have a hard temper, but no one dislikes Guardiola like Ibrahimovic.

We first tried to find the answer from Ibrahimovic’s own description. In his autobiography, he described that he had taken the initiative to find Gua Shuai and communicated with him on the position of Messi. Behind this problem is a reason that fans are familiar with. During the winter break of the 2009-2010 season, Messi discussed the future of his career with Guardiola. The Argentine did not want to limit himself to the narrow wing. To get more activity space, occupy a position in the middle.

In order to let Messi get as much personal honor as possible, Guardiola agreed.

And who should have occupied the mid lane position that season? It's Ibrahimovic.

Although Guardiola did not remove Ibrahimovic's main position in name, his tactical adjustments allowed Messi to frequently come to get the ball behind Ibrahimovic, and Ibrahimovic's activity space was backlogged.

As a center, Ibrahimovic is no longer the team's first "fire point" in the team's offense. Barcelona's primary "fire power" has been handed over to Messi's feet. Ibrahimovic, who did not have the ball in the frontcourt, retraced to take the ball and was ridiculed as "pretending to organize an attack."

In Guardiola’s system, Ibrahimovic has gradually become a luxury blue-collar player. He himself is the team’s first forward, but after playing well for half a season, How could he not be angry when the other players have "struck"?

Another reason why Ibrahimovic can become this "exception" is that Messi has become the number one player in world football today because of the benefits of tactical adjustments. If Guardiola did not make this move, will Messi's honor fall on Ibrahimovic?

Only half a season later, Ibrahimovic went from a "flying in the sky" super shooter to the low period of his career. This is an indelible blow to a player's confidence.

Even if the other players did not get a chance under Guardiola, they "gave up early" and restarted through the transfer. However, the "high to low" of Ibrahimovic's career trajectory stems from Guardiola's tactical change. , At least he thinks so.

As for Guardiola's dissatisfaction, more of the player's negative emotions are understandable.

Now facing Guardiola's team, Ibrahimovic is thinking about scoring and winning.
