I Want to Be the King of Football

As the so-called good fortune is unparalleled, misfortune does not come singly.

When Wenger was interviewed after the game, he just proposed to discuss with Benfica about the transfer of David Luiz. However, the day after the fiasco, the Portuguese media broke a news that Benfica had officially accepted the transfer from Manchester City. Offer.

"David Luiz told Benfica's management through his agent that he hopes the club will seriously consider the offer from Manchester City. Among the Chelsea, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Manchester City teams, David Luiz chose to join Manchester City."

"This means that David Luiz will meet the challenges from Pepe, Kompany and Jerome Boateng."

Manchester City has gathered four central defenders, which is inseparable from Guardiola's tactics.

Guardiola, who is deeply influenced by Dutch and Italian football, is still a very traditional head coach in his bones, so his team model is also very traditional, that is, focusing on both ends.

The frontcourt is the center and the backcourt is the center back.

After determining the two ends, piece together the other positions.

In the case that the center has a superstar like Su Dong, the position of the center defender is the most concerned about Guardiola.

Pepe and Kompany are the best central defenders in the Premier League this season. This is true, but the problem is that they have played too many games and consumes too much. Someone is needed to share their pressure.

Micah Richards has proved to be unusable. It is not enough to have a generalist like Jerome Boateng, so it is inevitable to introduce another David Louis.

This transfer will cost Manchester City a transfer fee of 25 million pounds, which is already a very surprisingly high transfer price.

Manchester City’s technical director Begiristan personally rushed to Lisbon, Portugal to negotiate personal treatment with David Luiz’s agent.

Su Dong, on behalf of the locker room, sent a passionate signal to David Luiz through the media and welcomed him to Manchester City.

Wenger, who was far away in London, was vomiting blood again with anger.

A disastrous defeat on the court and a disastrous defeat in the transfer market.

What a great deal, this day can't be passed!

…

Manchester City's winter break transfer was very dynamic.

In addition to De Bruyne and Courtois, who were on loan back to Genk, Belgium after the buyout, Manchester City signed Leiden Baines from Everton, Tiago from Barcelona and Wolff Fort signed Dzeko, and now he signed David Luiz from Benfica, both of whom are expensive young talents.

This also allowed Manchester City to invest heavily in the transfer market again, becoming the team that invested the most in transfers during the winter break.

Fans all over the world not only expressed their emotions about the degree of the local tyrants of Manchester City, but also saw Manchester City's ambition to hit the championship, and Mansour's determination to run Manchester City for a long time.

Don't want long-term business, who is willing to invest so much?

The Manchester City management also demonstrated their own operational capabilities this time, as well as shrewd negotiation efficiency.

The transfer market during the winter break has just started, and I have already signed the players I want in one breath. This speed is beyond the reach of other teams. Of course, there is the strong financial backing of the Abu Dhabi consortium. The management His shrewdness and negotiation are also indispensable.

After signing a number of players, Manchester City also began to purge the players in the team, including Michael Richards, Bridge and other players. They are no longer in Guardiola’s plan. The club intends to remove these. Player cleaning.

In addition, the club has also lost patience with a group of young players such as Michael Johnson and is preparing to sell them.

Michael Johnson was once a leader of Manchester City’s youth training and a symbol of youth training. He was even regarded as a genius. However, due to various factors such as injury and illness, his development did not meet the expectations of the outside world. Of course everyone.

Under this series of operations, Manchester City's lineup has basically remained the same, but the overall strength has improved.

In particular, the joining of Leighton Bynes is not only a local household registration, but also a strong aid, which is a great help to Manchester City.

...

...

Over the weekend, Manchester City ushered in the third round of the elimination round of the FA Cup.

This is also the first FA Cup that a Premier League team has participated in. Manchester City is the Leicester City team who challenged the middle of the British crown away.

Because it was a cup match and just smashed Arsenal in the league, Manchester City did not try their best. Instead, they arranged a rotation and a substitute lineup to go away, leaving the main core players such as Su Dong in Manchester.

Guardiola is obviously going to examine the players through the FA Cup, especially the newly joined players.

Dzeko, Thiago, Leighton Bynes and David Luiz all started, and David Luiz was even scheduled to start with Jerome Boa after only training with the team for one day. Teng partnered with a central defender.

As a result, less than a minute from the start of the game, it was a mismatch between the two central defenders, which caused the Leicester City team to fall into a goal.

Then Manchester City patiently controlled the game.

The midfielder Thiago is responsible for the delay, Moutinho and Gareth Barry forward, Guardiola hopes to maximize Thiago's strength, especially the ability to control the midfield.

The midfielder from Barcelona also performed well, showing a very good standard.

In the twenty-third minute, Dzeko received Moutinho's pass and sent a through ball. Milner broke into the penalty area and hit the goal to equalize the score for Manchester City.

After changing sides in the second half, Manchester City kicked out a wave of attacks as soon as the game opened. Milner crossed from the right and Dzeko scored a goal in the penalty area to overtake the score for Manchester City.

But in the 64th minute, Joe Hart dropped the ball after receiving a pass from the wing, and the opponent seized the opportunity to score.

The England national is also very unstable now and has become a major hidden danger in Manchester City's lineup.

Guardiola has made it clear that after the end of this season, Manchester City will retrieve Courtois from Genk, Belgium, and he will personally sculpt the Belgian goalkeeper and transform him into the type of goalkeeper the team needs as much as possible.

Just when everyone was worried that Manchester City would draw with Leicester City and the two sides had to play a play-off game, in the 87th minute, after Milner made a breakthrough on the left, Dzeko crossed to the goal and added Reis Barry followed up with an angry shot and scored again for Manchester City to exceed the score.

Three to two, the score also remained until the end of the game.

Manchester City ended up narrowly beating Leicester City.

Incidentally, the teenager Sterling replaced Adam Johnson in the second half.

…

Although it is just a game, many clues can be seen.

Manchester City's signings are still based on the team's philosophy, the same line.

Whether it is Thiago, Leiden Bynes, or Dzeko and David Luiz, the technical characteristics are very suitable for Guardiola's Manchester City, and they have shown very good strength and potential in the game. Believe in their future in Manchester City.

But two goals conceded is also the second most conceded by Manchester City this season.

The most conceded is the game against Arsenal, conceding three goals, but that was a red card in the opening four minutes and a penalty kick in stoppage time in the first half.

Judging from the two goals conceded, the most important thing is the lack of understanding and the old problem of goalkeeper.

Neither Joe Hart nor Shay Madou are satisfactory.

At least, none of them showed a stable state.

Guardiola praised several new players at the press conference after the game, and at the same time tactfully criticized Joe Hart's mistakes, believing that it shouldn't happen to the Manchester City goalkeeper.

It's not that there can be no mistakes, but that there can be no such low-level mistakes.

The outside world gave Manchester City's performance affirmed, after all, they just smashed Arsenal, and they played on a full bench.

If it is said that defeating Arsenal in a 9-1 away game allows everyone to see the strength of Manchester City's starting lineup, then the 3-2 away win over Leicester City will let everyone see the strength of Manchester City's bench lineup.

Maybe not very strong, but young, energetic, aggressive, and boundless.

As Manchester City was eliminated from the League Cup early, there was no match in the middle of the week, but Su Dong was not idle at all.

The FIFA Golden Globe Awards ceremony is coming!

All the giants teams have begun to help their stars one after another, of which the loudest shouting is undoubtedly Barcelona.

Who makes Harvey and Iniesta both popular?

Cruyff said in the column that Harvey deserves the prize. He is not only the commander of Barcelona, ​​but also the soul of Spain in winning the World Cup. He deserves a Golden Globe.

"Su Dong is undoubtedly the strongest. So far this season, 35 Premier League goals have been scored. It is simply amazing. But unfortunately, 2010 is the year of the World Cup. Harvey is the player who deserves the prize most."

Cruyff said in the column that in the non-competition year, the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe are invincible, and no one can shake his rule.

However, in the competition year, more attention is paid to the performance in the competition. Harvey and Iniesta are the most deserving awards, especially Harvey. "The whole world owes him a Golden Globe!"

Barcelona coach Mourinho is backing Iniesta, thinking that if the Ballon d'Or is not awarded to Iniesta, it will definitely be a shady, "I can't imagine anyone who performs better than him. More eligible to win prizes."

"Goals in the World Cup finals are enough to earn him a Golden Globe Award!"

Su Dong's voice is not low, but after the merger of the World Player of Football and the Golden Globe, no one knows what the first selection will be.

But before that, when the authoritative British magazine [World Football] selected the best players of 2010, Su Dong defeated Harvey and Iniesta and won the whole honor.

Bayern coach Heynckes was selected as the best coach, Spain was selected as the best team of the year, and Bayern's Thomas Muller was selected as the best rookie of the year.

In the votes published by World Football Magazine, Sudong defeated Harvey and Iniesta by a narrow margin.

In fact, this also represents the contradiction between many media and fans.

Su Dong performed very well, whether it was at Bayern or the six months after joining Manchester City, his performance was impeccable.

But the problem is that there is a World Cup this year, Xavi and Iniesta are Spain’s top players in the World Cup, and they also helped Barcelona reach the Champions League final. Although they did not win, it was also an achievement.

It can be said that it is really difficult to choose who wins and who won't.
