I Want to Be the King of Football

In the office of the head coach of the Tottenham Hotspur training base in the northern suburbs of London, coach Harry Redknapp is studying the video of the game with his two right-hand men, Joe Jordan and Kevin Bond.

Joe Jordan is a famous Scottish player. He has played in Manchester United and AC Milan in his career. He played in the World Cup and the Champions League final. After retiring, he transformed into a coach. He worked for Tottenham Hotspur and is now the chief assistant coach.

Kevin Bond has been a partner of Redknapp for many years. The two started in Portsmouth, experienced Southampton, and followed Redknapp to Tottenham Hotspur. They are considered old coaches. The most trusted assistant.

The three are sitting in the office and have just watched Manchester City's last warm-up match of the season.

"Guardiola can really play." Kevin Bond shook his head and smiled.

"He never let Su Dong play before, which caused such a big controversy. He said he was going to hide and tuck him, but now, suddenly he was allowed to play. He played for ten minutes and scored a goal. What counts? What's going on?"

Redknapp's face also became very serious, and the matter was serious.

That's Su Dong!

Goal monster who scored dozens of goals in a season!

Who dares to ignore him?

Not to mention anything else, Su Dong just stood still on the field, and Redknapp had to arrange for two people to stare there to be relieved.

What's more, Su Dong suddenly came on the bench and scored a goal in nine minutes.

The others didn't show much, but Su Dong's sense of shooting, his quick moves, and the opportunity to seize the opportunity are still there, which is enough to make him the most terrifying scorer on the court.

Yes, even if it is a Su Dong who is seriously not in the best condition, it is still the most terrible!

Not to mention, I don’t know what the state of Su Dong is at all.

"It is estimated that Guardiola also wants him to find rhythm and state in this game." Joe Jordan was also a striker back then, and he was still a very good striker, so he will have a better understanding of the striker's situation.

Although forwards only need to score goals, they must do more if they want to score goals.

Scoring a goal is never a simple kick, but a very large system project.

Passing, receiving, running, timing, observation of the surrounding environment, anticipation of defensive player actions, goalkeeper's position...

There are so many complicated factors that make scoring a goal the most complicated thing on the football field.

In many cases, fans only saw the moment when the striker scored and ignored what happened around that moment.

The visible tip of the iceberg is often the most inconspicuous.

"It seems that Su Dong's condition is very good. Guardiola deliberately hid him and made it clear that he was going to use him as a surprise soldier." Kevin Bond guessed, but he also felt a headache about it.

Su Dong is definitely the scariest superstar in the world. It belongs to the kind of superstar you know he is scary, but you don't know how to defend him. This feeling of powerlessness makes people extremely desperate.

"From the current point of view, Guardiola should still adopt a four-three-three formation. Sodong is in the center, Di Maria and Sanchez play two wings. In midfield, David Silva and Busquets will definitely occupy the main force. For the quota, Tony Cross, Moutinho and Gareth Barry all played a lot."

"On the left side of the back line is Marcelo, Pepe partnered with Kompany, and on the right side, he tried Sabaletta and Jerome Boateng. Both players made mistakes and they were not very stable. , The defense of the two wings is not very ideal, this should be our opportunity."

Wing assault, which has always been Tottenham Hotspur's strengths, the two wings formed by Alan Lennon and Gareth Bale are the key magic weapon for Tottenham Hotspur to win the fourth Premier League last season.

It can be said that these two fast and shocking wingers should be able to suppress the two wingers of Manchester City.

But the key to the problem is not here, but the midfield suppression and defense.

Manchester City's full-backs have always been problematic, but their midfielders and even the three lines have super ability to pass and control the ball. When they have the ball in their hands, the defensive problems are not particularly serious.

And Su Dong, he is Tottenham Hotspur's confidant.

"Michael Dawson, Ledley King, and Huddellstone, do you think these three can hold Su Dong?" Redknapp asked suddenly.

After Joe Jordan and Kevin Bond looked at each other for a while, they both frowned awkwardly.

The three players of Tottenham Hotspur have a common feature. They are all tall, around 1.9 meters tall. They are also born in England youth training, and they have good strength against each other. Huddlestone's advantage is still passed on. ball.

"It's hard to tell." After a long time, Kevin Bond sighed helplessly.

Thinking about it, it's really helpless.

It is hard to say that the three men guarded each other.

What a terrible gap!

"This guy is really a monster!" Redknapp said with emotion.

Who said no?

Looking at European football, in addition to Su Dong, who else can do it?

Even with superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, they can usually be held by two or so, but Su Dong, the player, the three players have no confidence, it is simply too annoying!

The old man got up from the sofa and paced back and forth in the office.

Joe Jordan and Kevin Bond are also thinking hard.

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became silent, which made people feel very depressing.

After pacing back and forth for a while, the old man finally made a decision.

As the new season approaches, the attention of the media and fans around the world has also been pulled back to the Premier League.

The Premier League in the new season is different from before, mainly due to the implementation of a new regulation, the 17 plus 8 New Deal.

The so-called seventeen plus eight means that each Premier League team can only submit a list of twenty-five players, of which there must be eight locally-trained players, and the so-called local-training means that there are three players before the age of 21. Sixteen months or three seasons, registered with the Football Association of England or Wales.

The starting point of the New Deal is that the popularity of the Premier League is in sharp contrast with the weakness of the England national team, making the FA hope to use the strength of the Premier League to enhance the competitiveness of the national team.

But in this way, whether it is the number of applicants or the number of locally trained players, it has caused a huge impact on the giants. From the current point of view, the main regular first-team players of Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City must not be able to register eight people of.

As a result, the team is either scouring the local account book in the transfer market, or supporting the youth team players to make up the number, no matter which one, it will definitely have some impact on the overall strength of the team.

And this New Deal will definitely further increase the value of local players in England, so at present Manchester City is still looking for local players that meet Guardiola's tactical requirements, hoping to fill the team's vacancy in the New Deal.

If the team has not found suitable players before the transfer market is closed, it can only use the youth team players to make up the count. Now Trippier, Michael Richards, Michael Johnson and other young players are already there. Was counted in.

But it's still not enough.

This is not only a problem for Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea will not be any better than Manchester City.

The only better ones are Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. These teams have a lot of local players. Arsenal are special. They have searched for young players all over the world in the past few years and cultivated them. Their own youth training can be regarded as meeting the requirements of the New Deal.

The local players in England actually do not meet Guardiola's requirements, but they are limited by the New Deal. The team is not only satisfied with being a spoiler this season. If you want to go further, you can't let go of any trace of strengthening your own strength. Because of this, Begiristan is still looking for players everywhere.

...

The new season is about to start, Manchester City need to report the list of players and jersey numbers.

To this end, Manchester City also specially organized a player meeting in the locker room.

As the captain of the team, Su Dong presided over this meeting, allowing the players to have an open and frank conversation, choose the jersey number they want, or exchange with other players.

Most players don't have this requirement. Some new players basically chose their favorite jersey when they joined. Su Dong took over Manchester City's No. 9 jersey at the time.

Since Bulgaria's forward Bodinov left the team, his No. 9 jersey has been hanging in the air. There have been rumors that this jersey was reserved for Su Dong, so even Santa Cruz chose other jerseys. number.

And this time, Su Dong did take over the No. 9 jersey.

This is also his jersey number in Valencia, Barcelona and Bayern, and has even become his label.

England’s national goalkeeper Joe Hart will have an impact on Shay’s main goalkeeper position this season, but he did not ask Shay to replace the jersey showing main goalkeeper No. 1, instead he chose the 25th finale number. This is actually It is also one of the regular numbers for goalkeepers.

After allocating the jerseys, the club formally submits it to the FA and the Premier League, and also announces it on the club's official website.

Next, if new players are introduced, the jersey numbers will also be selected from the currently vacant jersey numbers.

...

The kick-off time for the opening game of the Premier League is at noon.

This is a bit earlier than normal Premier League matches ~www.wuxiahere.com~ But the advantage is that even fans in Asia can watch the live broadcast of the match during the prime time of the night.

Manchester City is playing away, so the team decided to go south to London a day in advance.

There is no other way. If the game goes south on the day of the game, time will be very tight.

So, on the evening of the 13th, after finishing the training session, the team packed up and headed south for London as a group.

At this time, London was already full of pre-war tensions.

On the first day of the Premier League of the new season, only Tottenham Hotspur vs. Manchester City is the focus of the game.

But on the next day, the focus of Liverpool's home game against Arsenal also attracted the attention of the world.

Chelsea and Manchester United both play at home. The opponents of these two teams are bloomers West Bromwich Albion and Newcastle Magpies.

Therefore, Manchester City's debut in the new season is under great pressure.
