I Want to Be the King of Football

When Manchester City’s signings were targeted outside top stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Aguero, no one thought that Manchester City suddenly announced a blockbuster transfer in silence.

Manchester City officially announced that they had introduced midfielder Harvey Martinez from La Liga’s Athletic Bilbao at a high price of 25 million pounds. Athletic Bilbao officials also quickly issued a statement confirming the deal. .

This quickly aroused intense media attention all over the world.

Harvey Martinez?

Is Harvey Martinez not worth the price?

Actually it is not.

Not to mention that Harvey Martinez is only 22 years old, but he has been the main player in the Basque Lions for five seasons, and his performance is getting better and better, and he was also shortlisted for the 2010 World Cup in Spain. The roster was the youngest player in the Spanish national team at that time.

In the past season, Harvey Martinez is also the best midfielder in the Athletic Bilbao team. With his outstanding performance, he has attracted the attention of La Liga teams such as Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Manchester United have also suffered from the midfielder lately. After introducing Hargreaves from Bayern heavily, they have not been able to get out of the injury and have not shown a satisfactory state. Therefore, Ferguson also has to Harvey Martinez. Concerned for a long time.

It can be said that Harvey Martinez has received the attention of many giants.

Who could have imagined that such a piece of sweet pastry would be picked quietly by Manchester City.

After the news came out, the entire European football scene was shaken.

The strength of Manchester City's midfield, in fact, does not need to be said, the two slaughter last season is the best proof.

Whether it is Manchester United or Arsenal, under Manchester City's passing and control system, they are basically unable to show their strength and can only passively defend.

Even Arsenal, who is good at passing and controlling the ball, has only an early 30% possession rate in front of Manchester City, and Manchester United is less than 30%.

Needless to say, other teams are basically passively beaten.

In this case, Guardiola also introduced Xavi Martinez, which is really surprising.

Could it be that Manchester City's midfielder still has weaknesses?

…

Su Dong, who is far away in China, received news from the club earlier than the media.

He is the captain of the team and will be more informed in this regard.

He called Harvey Martinez the first time, on behalf of the locker room, expressed his welcome to join Manchester City, and also introduced him to the situation of Manchester City, and said that he would personally introduce his teammates to him when the time comes.

In the end, Su Dong gave Harvey Martinez peace of mind that he will not be short of chances in Manchester City.

This is actually asymmetric information.

Not to mention that the outside media don’t know, Harvey Martinez himself doesn’t know, even Manchester City’s many players and employees don’t even know about it. Only the top management and the core technical team know about it. The introduction of Harvey Martinez is a last resort. s Choice.

Guardiola advocates offensive full-backs. He likes to use full-backs like Marcelo, but Zabaleta on the right is diligent and hard-working, and his offensive ability is not weak, but it is not too strong, only barely usable. .

This set of Manchester City's play has been used last season and has been studied by opponents for so long. It is estimated that many teams have thoroughly studied it. Maybe it may not be able to restrain it, but it is inevitable to create some trouble for Manchester City.

In this case, being self-proclaimed won't work, you can only boldly seek a breakthrough.

Guardiola’s earliest plan was to bring in a strong right back, such as Daniel Alves, Maicon and Lahm, but Lahm was obviously not good enough. Maicon’s form fell sharply, and Alves was in Barcelona again, dead and alive. Refusing to release people.

The introduction of a right-back does not work, and Guardiola can only change his mind.

So, he wanted to try to change.

From the current four-three-three, it has transformed into a three-four-three with Barcelona and Dutch traditions.

The biggest difference between the three-four-three and the four-three-three is the point of origin of the offense.

In the four-three-three tactic, the wingers are more on guarding the wing, and the attack is more on the wing. However, although the three-four-three winger is also on the wing, there is one more midfielder. The combination of the road and the center will be more frequent, and the starting point of the offense will actually become the rib.

This is actually the adjustment Guardiola has always wanted to make.

Even with a big killer like Su Dong, the offensive efficiency is still low.

But the rib penetration is different, not only in line with the technical characteristics of Manchester City's current players, but also can create more problems for the opponent, which will definitely make everyone shine.

But at this time, there will be a problem, that is, among the three guards, who will be the one behind?

You know, this is not good defense, and even delaying the defense of this central defender is not the main consideration at all, but his overall outlook, ability to read the game, and his passing ability. These are the three defenders in the middle. The most important ability of a central defender, and Manchester City, whether it is Pepe, Kompany, David Luiz or Jerome Boateng, do not have this ability.

There is another way to delay Busquets, but in this way, the midfielder needs a person to delay this position.

Thiago can do the job, but he is not mature enough and needs time to experience and refine.

Tony Cross also works, but it is not particularly ideal.

Guardiola, Sudong, Begiristan and others, after several negotiations and communication, decided to introduce a central defender.

Looking around the world, this type of central defender is basically unseen.

In the end, after several choices, Guardiola selected Athletic Bilbao midfielder Harvey Martinez.

The reason is actually very simple. He has a height of 1.92 meters, a strong body and strong air dominance. At the same time, he is a midfielder and has outstanding passing ability. There is no problem with the overall situation and the ability to read the game.

Guardiola's idea is to transform him into a defensive version of Busquets.

After determining the goal, Manchester City’s technical team immediately acted and immediately organized an investigation around Harvey Martinez. The transfer department also acted quickly. In the end, without disturbing other giants, the team quickly took action and got Bill. Athletic Bahía and Xavi Martinez.

The 25 million pounds transfer fee is indeed not cheap, but if it can be exchanged for Manchester City's successful transformation, it is definitely worth it.

Four-three-three is the basic formation of Manchester City, and running-in is already in place, but if there is an additional set of three-four-three formation, Manchester City's ability to deal with different opponents will be greatly improved, which is impossible to buy with money.

Su Dong has been watching the process of this transaction from beginning to end, from research to delineation, to determination of goals, and then signing in. On the one hand, he was impressed by the efficiency brought by Manchester City’s money, and on the other hand, he was deeply impressed. Diola's angle of thinking about problems is really different from others.

In fact, many head coaches will do this to transform players, but Guardiola's perspective is obviously different.

It's as if he had asked Su Dong to withdraw from the center to kick the free man before, in fact, the same reasoning is true.

Sometimes Su Dong even wondered whether Guardiola had ever considered transforming himself into a central defender, or even a goalkeeper?

The more he thought about it, the more Su Dong felt that this transformation madman was quite evil.

Cruyff didn't reform him like that back then!

Harvey Martinez's move to Manchester City detonated the European transfer market.

With the rise of Manchester City and now Paris Saint-Germain has been acquired by the Qatar consortium, the battle for players among European giants has become increasingly fierce, especially for high-quality players.

After the Qatar consortium acquired Paris Saint-Germain, it immediately announced a blockbuster transfer. At a sky-high price of 45 million euros, the Argentine genius midfielder Pastoré was introduced from Palermo in Serie A.

Through his outstanding performance, the new Kaka has been placed high hopes by the entire European football community and has attracted the attention of many wealthy teams, but unexpectedly, the wealthy Paris Saint-Germain will be the king of the shot.

First, Manchester City finalized Harvey Martinez, Paris Saint-Germain introduced Pastore, all traditional giants coveted players, which also surprised everyone to discover that the entire European football pattern has taken place. Earth-shaking changes.

When talking about transfers before, everyone was staring at the giants, but now it's obviously not.

Whether it is Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain, both have super economic strength and are not stingy in investment.

And just when the shock caused by the transfer of Harvey Martinez and Pastoré has not completely dissipated, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Italian media once again broke the news that An Zhi from the Russian Premier League signed the Cheetah Eto'o from Inter Milan for a high price of 26 million euros.

If it's just that, it's actually nothing. Although Eto'o is thirty years old, he is worth the price.

The problem is that An Zhi offered Eto'o a sky-high annual salary of 20 million euros, which made him the second highest salary in the world after Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.

This is definitely like a blockbuster, hitting the European transfer market and detonating the world once again.

Everyone was surprised to find that the pattern of European football has completely changed.

Especially after La Liga Málaga announced that it was acquired by Qatar members, it received capital injection and introduced Van Nistelrooy, Turalan, Joaquin and other European stars, and its strength has skyrocketed.

And after the new boss took office, Roma introduced a lot of strong support, including Bojan, Lamela, Gago and other famous players, all joined the Red Wolf Army.

For a time, the entire European football scene has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The whole world is shocked by the strong rise of these upstarts and the depression of traditional giants.

The good name is rational investment, but is it not financially inadequate?

Just like Real Madrid, after investing heavily in 2009, it has now begun to tighten its money.

Barcelona has been pursuing Fabregas for many years and has not yet been able to sign the captain of Arsenal. What is the reason?

After all, Barcelona didn't give enough money.

As for the Premier League, the four traditional families of Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool also do not plan to increase investment.

Only Chelsea nearly lost the top four in the league last season. This gave the Blues a sense of crisis. After Ancelotti was fired, Boas will usher in, and the team will also begin a vigorous round of youth reforms.
