Chapter 063: Transfer Scandal!
After playing in the league against Bolton, this season of the Premier League has come to a successful end.
Players from other Premier League teams will be on holiday, but Manchester City will not be able to prepare for their next big game, the Champions League final against Bayern Munich.
At this time, there is one player in the Manchester City team who is special, and that is Sergio Aguero, in fact, he can almost take an early holiday, because Aguero has accumulated yellow cards and will be suspended, and he will not be able to participate in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich.
This situation is a huge blow for Sergio Aguero, who was supposed to have played his first Champions League final of his career, but he was only able to watch his teammates play and not be able to play, which is a great torture for any player.
Therefore, Aguero has not been in a good mood these days, and even during the parade of floats celebrating the successful defense of the league title, the Argentine goalscorer's loneliness can be seen.
The players also took note of Sergio Aguero's move. They are secretly planning an operation against Aguero.
"We have to do something for him. "In between trainings. Places to avoid Aguero. Someone was whispering, it was captain Yang Fan and several other offensive players.
"In such an important final. but became an audience. I'm sure he must have felt bad. Don't look at the way he behaves. It's all an illusion. Balotelli said, don't look at the fact that he usually makes some jokes, but, in reality, Balotelli's temper is still quite good.
But we comforted him several times. It doesn't seem to be working......" David Silva is at a loss for what to do.
"Now is not the time to comfort him. Dzeko gave his opinion. "It's simple. It's already happening. No matter how much we tried to comfort him, it was useless. He just couldn't make it to the final. I think what we should do at this point is to make him feel like we're all with him......" Dzeko thought for a moment. Raising his head and saying to the other two. "I don't know which of us will play in the final. ”
On the front line, in addition to the captain Yang Fan, who must be the main player, other players, whether it is Tevez or Balotelli or Dzeko, are all possible, and Dzeko himself does not know whether he can play.
Yang Fan glanced at Tevez and saw that this old man didn't speak, so he sighed secretly in his heart.
The British "Mirror" specifically pointed out that the relationship between Aguero and Tevez was not good, and Akun transferred to Manchester City at the time and did not even speak to Tevez. 'I spoke to Zabaleta and asked him about Manchester City and he spoke highly of the club,' said Aguero, 'In the Premier League, I had a good relationship with Maxi Rodriguez [Liverpool midfielder], we played together for Atletico and Argentina and we are good friends. ”
Throughout, Aguero didn't say a word about Tevez, and during the transfer process, he asked fellow Argentines such as Zabaleta and Rodriguez about Manchester City and the Premier League, but never spoke to another compatriot, who is also Manchester City captain, Tevez, and the Mirror said that the relationship between Aguero and Tevez looks delicate.
It stands to reason that Aguero is Maradona's son-in-law, and Lao Ma admires Tevez very much, and the relationship between the two should be good, but according to Argentine media reports, because of Messi's relationship, Aguero and Tevez are not "to be seen". During the 2010 World Cup, "Clarion" revealed that Tevez was dissatisfied with Messi, and during this summer's Copa America, Tevez's relationship with Messi became even more strained, and the famous Argentine commentator Juan Barski revealed in a column in "El Nacional" that coach Batista finally called Tevez into the team, which made Messi very unhappy.
And Aguero and Messi are close friends, Messi is the godfather of Aguero's children, needless to say, the intimate relationship between the two goes without saying, in the gang battle of the national team, Aguero will naturally stand on Messi's side and oppose Tevez. Now that Akun has joined Manchester City, I am afraid it will also bring over the internal contradictions of the national team.
Although Yang Fan doesn't know what the media report is about, everyone can see within the Manchester City team that the relationship between Tevez and Aguero, the two Argentine internationals, is indeed not good.
'I don't know who among us will score. If you can. Hug him after the goal. Or write something on a t-shirt. Yang Fan thought for a while and said.
"That's a good idea!" Dzeko's eyes lit up.
"I'll tell the others,......" Balotelli shouted happily, and he stood up to leave, but was stopped by Yang Fan.
"Don't let him know. Give him a surprise!" Yang Fan said, this kind of thing, there is no surprise when you say it, it is better to be 'sneaky'.
"What are they doing?" saw a group of players huddle together, looking back and forth from time to time. Mysterious look. Manchester City's assistant coach Soliano frowned.
"God knows. Mancini didn't care much. He shrugged. Everyone has their own little **. The players are no exception. They like to get together and talk about topics that only they are interested in. There is no need for the coaches to interfere. "As long as they don't do it in training. ”
Roberto Mancini is now full of his final opponents. He doesn't care about the performances of the players.
***********
The final opponent was Bayern Munich, which was the team that caused Mancini the most headache.
Bayern Munich are a tenacious team and they won't give City room to show their pace. Manchester City are most proud of their quick attacking style in the game against them. There will be no bargains. Roberto Mancini could have predicted that this final would be very, very tough.
There was something like this that bothered him. How could he possibly think about such a trivial matter as the players getting together to discuss?
Mancini is struggling with their opponents in the final. Also having a headache for the opponent in the final is Bayern Munich's veteran coach Heynckes.
Heynckes has already decided that he is retiring, and his contract with Bayern Munich expires next year, and he has decided to retire at that time. And he will never go out to coach any team again, he will retire completely. Therefore, he hopes to add a heavy makeup to his coaching resume before he retires.
And this time, Bayern Munich reached the Champions League final, which is undoubtedly the best chance, not to mention, the final venue of this game is Bayern Munich's home Allianz Arena, if you can reach the top of Europe at home, this is almost the biggest expectation and desire of all Bayern Munich fans now.
"This final, it's going to be tough. I think Heynckes will continue to play with the counter-attacking tactics, they have players up front who can solve problems on their own, they are sharp in attack, and at the same time, there are no obvious shortcomings in their defense. We had two options: first, try to score as soon as possible in the game and force Bayern Munich to press out and play against us. We'll have more opportunities that way. Mancini held out two fingers, "Second, we also retracted to focus on defense, avoid conceding the ball first, and then move according to the situation. ”
This is a tactical analysis discussion before the game.
"Which one do you choose?" asked Mancini.
The coaches were lost in thought.
Generally speaking. World Series finals are usually tedious, as most people tend to be more conservative and make sure they don't concede a goal before they think about scoring. If both coaches think so, then this final must be boring, if there are no surprises.
Soliano was the first to express his opinion: "I think it's better to be cautious, Robert. Defense comes first. We have to make sure it's not us who concede first before we can think about beating Bayern Munich. In a final like this, the side that concedes first becomes passive, especially when we are playing against a team that is Germany......"
Mancini did not respond, he neither nodded in agreement nor shook his head in no, he just looked at the others, hoping to hear more.
"I don't agree with you, man. Another coach disagreed, "I think we should be a little bit more positive. Heynckes would never have thought that we would attack in the final. He thought we would be like you think. I feel like that's exactly what we can take advantage of. Take the initiative to attack and strive for the first goal. We have the strength. He even clenched his fists.
Someone was heard objecting to his suggestion. Soliano didn't refute immediately, just smiled and shook his head, they are assistant coaches, they just put forward their own opinions, and it was Mancini who made the final decision, so he would not be angry because of other people's refutations.
"I think it's better to be conservative. This is the final. We can't make mistakes, at least we can't make mistakes first...... "Speaking of another coach, Stells, "The final is not about who performs better, but about who makes fewer mistakes. Even if it goes to penalties, we have a chance to win. It's just a matter of stepping up penalty training these days. ”
It's now 2:1 and the conservatives have the upper hand for the time being.
Mancini turned his gaze to goalkeeper coach Docarado. As a goalkeeper coach, you can also express your opinion.
"I think it's better to be positive. "The goalkeeper coach is more offensive.
Now everyone is looking at Mancini again. The score of conservative or offensive is 2:2, which is comparable.
Mancini didn't give an answer right away, and he was clearly hesitating. Conservatives have their reasons, and they are very convincing, such a final is won by teams that make fewer mistakes or even no mistakes, and if you want to avoid mistakes, conservative defense is the safest way.
However, the Manchester City team has Yang Fan and the best offensive line in Europe, and if it doesn't attack, it seems to be a great waste.
So, Mancini was hesitant.
On the morning of 17 May, the whole Manchester City team set off from Manchester Airport and embarked on a journey to Munich, Germany.
The 2011/2012 UEFA Champions League final was played at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich's home stadium. Therefore, in this UEFA Champions League final, Manchester City is a veritable 'away game'!
After a long flight of several hours, the entire Manchester City team will be on a flight to Munich Airport.
Many Manchester City fans have arrived in Munich before the team, and these fans have been waiting at the airport to greet their heroes!
The entire Manchester City squad walked out of the airport as they were greeted by the City fans.
When Yang Fan walked out, the cheers on the scene were the loudest. The Manchester City captain is undoubtedly the favorite star of Manchester City fans, although he has only been in the stadium for three seasons, but, according to the Manchester City Evening News, many Manchester City fans are already discussing erecting a bronze statue of Yang Fan outside the team's home stadium Municipal Stadium.
There is a tradition of statues of legendary stars outside the Premier League, and many stadiums have a number of famous statues, such as the statue of Shankly at Anfield, the two statues of Arsenal and the statues of Manchester United's three heroes.
There are two busts in the lobby of the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's home stadium. On 19 October 2007, Arsene Wenger's bust was unveiled in the marble lobby in front of the Emirates Stadium. And the meritorious head Herbert Chapman, in the days of Highbury, Chapman's bust has always existed, after the establishment of the Emirates Stadium, Chapman's bust was also moved here.
The Arsenal club was founded in 1886, and next year will be the club's 125th anniversary, according to Arsenal officials, at next year's celebration of the club's 125th anniversary, there will be two new statues outside the Emirates Stadium, namely the team's legendary captain Tony Adams, and the team's all-time top scorer Thierry Henry.
On 29 May 2008, Manchester United erected a statue of the 'Trinity' outside Old Trafford to commemorate their first Champions League triumph over Benfica on 29 May 1968, as well as to honour the 'Holy Trinity' Sir Bobby Charlton, Dennis Law and George Best. George Best, Dennis Law, and Bobby Charlton stand side by side from left to right, with George Best putting one hand on his waist and one hand around Dennis Law, who is pointing his right index finger to the sky and his left hand on Charlton. Sir Charlton held the ball in one hand and put the other on Dennis Law's shoulder. In the east stand of Manchester United's Theatre of Dreams, stands a statue of Manchester United's legendary manager Busby. This statue is related to the statue of the Holy Three Heroes.
Of course, when it comes to erecting statues outside the stadium, the most famous is Liverpool FC.
On 16 December 1959, Liverpool appointed former Hossfield coach Bill Shankly as their new manager, who led Liverpool to great success in the 70s. Liverpool also erected a statue of the legendary manager. Outside the Anfield stadium, Shankly had arms outstretched, and he looked like he was dominating the world. On the base of the bronze statue is written in English, "He makes people happy". For fans, visiting Anfield to see the football and see the statue of Shankly is a top priority.
Throughout the Premier League, these statues on the pitch of these clubs are legends in the club's history and part of the club's illustrious history. Therefore, it can also be seen from here that Manchester City fans have feelings for Yang Fan and are grateful to Yang Fan.
At Munich Airport, Yang Fan was interviewed by reporters.
A reporter also mentioned the issue of Manchester City fans erecting a statue for him, "Yang Fan, now it is rumored that Manchester City fans want to erect a statue for you outside the stadium." ”
"It's exciting news, but I have to say that I don't have the right to contribute to the team right now, and if I retire and I can see my statue outside the stadium and I say to myself, I live up to the love that the fans have for me, then my career will be complete. Yang Fan did not deny this, however, he put forward his own opinion.
Manchester City are here for the Champions League final, so a lot of questions naturally revolve around the final.
A reporter asked him how it felt to play in Germany again compared to when he played for Wolfsburg.
"It's the Champions League final, it's the biggest difference, it's one of the biggest moments of any player's career, and of course, being able to play the final at the Allianz Arena will undoubtedly be a great memory," Yang said. ”
A reporter then asked Yang Fan, "Manchester City has won three titles, this is undoubtedly a successful season, does this mean that Manchester City will be very relaxed in the final." This reporter has a problem with this, secretly mocking Manchester City as an upstart team, and winning the league and cup will be satisfied. There is no fighting spirit anymore.
Yang Fan glared at the reporter, "It's hard for me to understand how you have such a strange idea, it's all in the finals, of course we want to win the championship, do you naturally like to be the second?!"
The reporter's face became ugly, he didn't expect Yang Fan to give such an answer. It's so sharp and ruthless. It's just that when he asked a question, he should be able to think that Yang Fan would definitely not answer politely.
"Do you have anything to say about Bayern Munich, the opponent in the final?" the reporter asked.
"It's a very strong opponent. Yang Fan replied very formulaically, which obviously disappointed some reporters with ulterior motives, but Yang Fan is now much more mature and the captain of Manchester City, so naturally he will not have nothing to do before the game, and these reporters who want to talk from Yang Fan's mouth are doomed to be disappointed.
The final between Manchester City and Bayern Munich was played four days later, so there was no training session for Manchester City that day, and Mancini gave the whole team a holiday to let the players rest well and take advantage of the jet lag.
The Champions League final will be played against Bayern Munich and Manchester City.
However, Real Madrid also came out at this time to brush up on their presence.
Real Madrid is also the focus of attention now, this is because Real Madrid covets the core of Bayern Munich and Manchester City.
Real Madrid wants to buy Yang Fan, which is not news for a long time, especially seeing Yang Fan's perfect performance in Manchester City, especially this season, Real Madrid still missed the Champions League trophy with Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, and Yang Fan led Manchester City all the way forward, not only won the Premier League championship and the English League Cup and the English FA Cup, but also reached the final of the Champions League! With such an achievement, how can Real Madrid, who has always coveted Yang Fan, remain calm? !
During this period of time, the media in Germany and England have always been full of transfer rumors between Yang Fan and Real Madrid. Although Manchester City is not bad for money, will not sell people because of money, and will not sell the team's flag Yang Fan, and Yang Fan has also publicly stated that he will not leave Manchester City, but the media can always find 120 reasons to prove that Yang Fan may join Real Madrid.
Among them, Marca newspaper said with pride and affirmation, "It is almost impossible on this planet to have a player who is not tempted to ...... in the face of an invitation from Real Madrid"
Yang Fan's attitude was very resolute when he was entangled by the media: Where do you see that I will go to Real Madrid? I am very good at Manchester City, we have won three titles, and we may also win the Champions League, these are the results that Real Madrid has not been able to achieve, why should I go to Real Madrid?!
This is not very polite to the super giant Real Madrid, but this really relieved many people, especially Barcelona fans, if Yang Fan joins Real Madrid, this is an absolute nightmare for Barcelona.
