Chapter 902: Spain wins the championship and Manchester City spends a lot of money
David Silva's move to Manchester City caught Manchester United off guard and annoyed Ferguson.
In Ferguson's plan, he almost regarded Silva as a member of the team, and began to think about tactics in the new season when the team had Silva, but he was cut off by Manchester City at the last minute.
Ferguson was angry and helpless, because this time he couldn't talk about Manchester City's use of money to smash people's behavior of destroying the transfer market, because Silva said that he finally decided to transfer to Manchester City because of the invitation sent by Yang Fan on the phone.
The implication is that Yang Fan's invitation played an important role in this transfer process. There are many reasons why I didn't go to Manchester United, but an unavoidable factor is that Manchester United doesn't have Yang Fan!
Yang Fan was originally from Manchester United, the new banner of Manchester United, but he was sold by the club for various reasons, and now it makes no sense to talk about these things.
Ferguson was only able to take the second option, and to his relief, Hernandez, the protagonist of the second option, had a very good performance at the World Cup. If you only look at the World Cup table, Hernandez's table is far better than David Silva, who has just joined Manchester City, which also makes Ferguson's depression a little lighter.
Two days later, Manchester United officially announced that Mexico international Javier Hernandez and England Under-21 international Chris Smalling have officially joined Manchester United as part of the Red Devils.
Manchester United have been following Hernandez and Chris Smalling for some time now, and have been very close to winning the two, and at this special point in time when David Silva was cut off by Manchester City, Manchester United officially announced that Hernandez and Chris Smalling have officially become part of the Red Devils.
In addition, Manchester United's official announcement of Hernandez as the new "Red Devil" is also significant because of the latter's instant success in this World Cup in South Africa. The 22-year-old Hernandez, although not the absolute main force of the Mexican national team's striker, but its potential is unanimously optimistic in the industry, this World Cup in South Africa is Hernandez's first time representing the national team in the World Cup, but the youngster is not afraid of the stage in his four World Cup games (one of which starts) scored two goals, the table is extremely brilliant.
Hernandez's ability to have such an impressive performance at the World Cup naturally satisfied the Red Devils fans, which diluted the frustration of David Silva being cut off by his rivals Manchester City, and once again confirmed the unique vision of Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson. After officially joining Manchester United, Hernandez excitedly said that he wanted to win back more honors for Manchester United, "My creed in life is to do my best, I can endure hardships and love to learn, and I will definitely bring back more championship honors for Manchester United."
In addition to Hernandez, Fulham youngster Chris Smalling has also officially joined the Red Devils, with the 20-year-old playing as a defender and played 18 games for Fulham last season. After joining Manchester United, Chris Smalling signed a four-year contract, according to the British media, the young Chris Smalling is worth about 10 million pounds, and the reason why Manchester United is willing to drop such a sky-high price for such a young player is also to value his potential, because in Ferguson's view, Smalling can become the successor of the current team's main central defender Ferdinand after training.

When the transfer market began to set off a new round of storms, the knockout round of the World Cup in South Africa also reached the quarter-finals.
On July 4, the final match of the quarter-finals of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa will be played at Ellis Park in Johannesburg, where European champions Spain will take on South American powerhouse Paraguay. Valdés was whistled for offside in the first half, Cardoso and Alonso both missed penalties in the second half, and Villa scored the winner in the 83rd minute as Spain beat Paraguay 1-0. Spain will face Germany in the semi-finals, which is also a repeat of the European Championship final.
Just when the quarterfinals of the World Cup in South Africa were all over, the official website of the English Premier League team Manchester City announced that Manchester City officially signed Yaya Toure from Barcelona. Yaya Toure, 28, has signed a five-year contract with Manchester City until June 2015.
Manchester City posted an announcement on their official website: "Manchester City have signed Yaya Toure from Barcelona and the player has been offered a five-year contract. In Spain, he has already cleared the medical examination arranged for him by Manchester City and has taken care of the rest of his working relationship at Barcelona. ”
As for Yaya Toure's transfer fee, Manchester City has not officially announced it, while Barcelona officials said that the amount of the transfer fee will be announced when Yaya Toure's transfer is finalized. The British "Sky Sports" revealed that the transfer fee of the Ivorian midfielder was 27.5 million pounds (about 30 million euros), while the Guardian newspaper said that it was 25 million pounds.
Speaking after the signing of Yaya Toure, Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini said: "This is another great signing for Manchester City and I am delighted to have Yaya Toure on board because he is a very good player. He's playing for a team like Barcelona and I'm sure his experience and quality will help us a lot. ”
Yaya Toure Zetze Guò gave his message on Manchester City's official television: "It's a dream come true because I've always wanted to play with my brother [Kolo Toure] and I'm excited to join Manchester City. ”
Yaya Toure is the younger brother of Manchester City defender Kolo Toure, known as the "Vieira of Ivory Coast", who can play a number of positions such as central midfielder, midfielder and central defender, whether it is dribbling, passing or tacking. However, last season, Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola reused Sergio Busquets and put Yaya Toure on the bench, which made him decide to transfer.
Barcelona needed additional funds due to the €40 million signing of Villa. Only Manchester City were able to pay the €30 million they were happy with in the transfer market, which allowed Yaya Toure to make the move in the end.
With the signing of Yaya Toure and the previous signings of Dzeko, Boateng and Milner and David Silva, Manchester City have spent more than £100 million on transfers this summer
This also makes other European giants have to be vigilant, you know, this is the beginning of July, Manchester City has been in the transfer market everywhere, spending 100 million pounds, and, look at the level of these players bought by Manchester City, whether it is Silva or Yaya Toure or Dzeko, are all top stars, and Milner and Boateng are also good, so to speak, although the new season has not yet started, but Manchester City has gone one step faster than other teams.

A day later, the semi-finals of the World Cup in South Africa were played at the Durban Stadium, where Germany, who had eliminated England and Argentina by large scores, competed with Euro 2008 winners Spain for a ticket to the final. Spain dominated the game, Puyol scored with a header from a corner kick in the 73rd minute, helping the team beat Germany 1-0 and meet the Netherlands in the final, because neither the Dutch team nor the Spanish team has won the World Cup before, so this World Cup will also produce the eighth world champion.
Spain and the Netherlands are jubilant, a large number of Dutch and Spaniards are starting to flock to South Africa, of course, it is impossible to buy tickets for the World Cup final now, but these fans go to South Africa, they want to be with their team on South African soil, they shout from the sidelines, cheer and applaud, support the team, do their part for the team to reach the top of the world, and be able to participate in it, which is enough to make these fans remember it for a lifetime.
Interestingly, at this time, Manchester City FC made another announcement that the 24-year-old Serbian international signed a five-year contract with Manchester City after former Serie A Lazio left-back Kolarov underwent a medical examination in Tongguò.
'The first time I watched Kolarov play was when he made his debut for Lazio in 2007,' said Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini, who has been following Kolarov's development ever since, "and he has a very bright future ahead of him in a number of positions. ”
Although neither Manchester City nor Lazio Club has announced the specific amount of the transfer fee, the powerful media still got this figure, 19 million euros, which is the price for Manchester City to get this full-back.
"I'm thrilled to be joining Manchester City, to be able to play with Yang Fan and to play with so many great players. Kolarov said excitedly in his first interview since joining Manchester City.
And Yang Fan also welcomed the two new signings Yaya Toure and Kolarov, he wrote on his Twitter: Toure and Kolarov, two great players, Manchester City welcomes you.
And the media also noticed that in the World Cup in South Africa, the next day after every step in Spain, Manchester City Club announced the arrival of a new signing, although this is more due to coincidence, but this interesting situation still caused ridicule and discussion among fans and the media.
Spanish fans, in particular, see Manchester City's signings as the mascot of Spain's promotion, and even joke that there are any other Spanish players who want to join Manchester City now, hurry up to negotiate and make a good deal for the upcoming match with the Dutch team.

Two days later, just before the World Cup final, Manchester City made another move, officially announcing the arrival of left-back Javier Garrido to Lazio in Serie A.
After the signing of Kolarov, Manchester City's left wing-back position is already overcrowded, and the original Bridge, as well as newcomers Boateng and Kolarov, will compete fiercely with Garrido. Lazio, who happened to sell "Serbian Carlos", was short of people on the left side, and Garrido, who knew that he had no chance of getting ahead in Manchester City, was sent to the Blue Eagles as a favor.
Garrido's transfer departure is almost inevitable, but at this time, the transfer and departure made Spanish fans a little entangled, before Spain was promoted, Manchester City announced the reinforcement, and now the Spanish game has not yet started, Manchester City announced the transfer action, but this time it is not a reinforcement, but a fire sale, and it is still a Spanish player who has been purged, which has to make Spanish fans have some bad associations.
Some fans in Spain are a little entangled, and the fans in the Netherlands have more expectations, is this a good sign for the Netherlands to win the championship?!
A day later, the final match of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa was played out at Soccer City in Johannesburg, where Spain and the Netherlands would be the eighth team to win the World Cup, with Casillas saving Robben in the second half before Andres Iniesta scored in the 116th minute to help Spain win the World Cup and regain their top spot. England referee Webb showed a total of 14 yellow cards and one red card, the most in a World Cup final (previously six in 1986). Spain is the first team in the history of the World Cup to lose their first game but eventually win the title, the first European team to win the title outside of Europe, and the champion with the fewest goals (8)!
Yang Fan left South Africa and returned to China before the group stage was completed, resting at home for about two weeks, and taking time to participate in the business activities that had been arranged before, and then returned to South Africa to watch the knockout matches from the semi-finals.
Now, the World Cup is over, Yang Fan is also starting to get busy again, he has begun to officially enter the rhythm of the new season, Manchester City is recruiting heavily in the transfer market, and the Manchester City captain is more ambitious!
He's going to live up to what he said when he invited those new teammates to join the team, and continue to lead the team to a great era!R1148
