Chapter 757: Officially Joined

On this day, all eyes were on Manchester, to be precise, on Manchester City, on Yang Fan, Mr. 150 million pounds...... For more up-to-date chapters, visit wèn:щww.

On this day, Yang Fan will participate in the physical examination arranged for him by Manchester City, and if the physical examination is passed, Yang Fan will officially become a Manchester City player.

The addition of Mr. 150 million pounds has attracted global attention.

Manchester City has never attracted so much attention as it does now.

During the medical examination in the hospital, Yang Fan met the current manager of Manchester City for the first time, Mark Hughes.

The Manchester City coach has been described by the media as a man of 'character' and a strong sense of competitiveness.

This can be seen from Hughes's very young age, the 'sexual' personality of this person. Hughes, who was still very thin at the time, was often abused as a striker in Manchester United's youth team, but Hughes was resolute, competitive, and brave, and he did not hesitate to be injured again and again to grab points and rush to the top. Every time his teammates knocked him into the air in the training session, he always patted his ass like a spring to stand up and continue to devote himself to training; no matter the game or training, whether it was violated, pushed, intercepted, Mark Hughes was not discouraged, the more setbacks and failures, the more Hughes refused to admit defeat, he did not slack off, did not give up, and grew up in confrontations and collisions again and again.

The silver-haired Welshman shook hands with Yang Fan with a smile on his face.

Obviously, I am also very satisfied that Yang Fan can join the team. Now Yang Fan is the hottest and most popular striker in Europe. Although Hughes was very dissatisfied with the club's request to buy Yang Fan before, it was not that he was dissatisfied with Yang Fan, but with the club's behavior, because he did not think that Yang Fan would join Manchester City, so he thought that instead of putting his 'fine' energy on Yang Fan, it was better to use his brains on other players who might come to Manchester City. Manchester City's top management is also interesting, Mark Hughes asked for Adebayo and Santa Cruz, they both satisfied Mark Hughes, and 'got' these two people to Manchester City, but at the same time continued to chase Yang Fan, for the club's behavior, Mark Hughes didn't bother to pay attention, anyway, the Adebayo and Santa Cruz he wanted were already here...... What Mark Hughes didn't expect was that Yang Fan actually came to Manchester City!

Mark Hughes can be said to be overjoyed, no coach would not want to have a 'good' player like Yang Fan under his banner.

As for Adebayo and Santa Cruz, who he has been concerned about before, these two have not yet come to the team to report, but at the moment, they have been forgotten by Hughes.

At this time, he completely forgot that because the club insisted on chasing Yang Fan, he was very angry and had a very unpleasant quarrel with the club's chief executive, Gary Cook......

※※※※※※※

In fact, Manchester City's current manager, Mark Hughes, has had a more successful playing career than his managerial career.

In the 80s and 90s of the last century, there was a saying of the "Four Kings" in Welsh football, and the four superstars of Rush, Hughes, Saunders and Ryan Giggs played for two red "color" teams in English football - Liverpool and Manchester United, and their status in the history of football in Wales was second only to the legendary John in the fifties of the last century. Charles.

Mark Hughes, when he first joined Manchester United's youth team, was a midfielder. But coach Owen had the foresight to move him up front: "Trust me, boy, you're going to be a good striker. "So, after Rush, another Welsh super-striker was born.

Hughes, making his debut for Manchester United in November 1983, scored a goal and got off to a good start. Subsequently, in the annual Great Britain Tournament (between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), he scored another England goal for Wales in his first appearance to give Wales a victory over England. Hughes, who had a lot of confidence, burst into the limelight in 1984/1985, scoring 24 goals as Manchester United won the FA Cup and reached the last four of the European Cup Winners' Cup. For a time, "The Red Devil" (the first nickname given to him) became famous and popular all over England.

Heading into 1986, Hughes was still in fine form, scoring 10 goals in 13 games. At that time, Hughes was full of scenery. But for some reason, he had a conflict with the then Manchester United manager Atkinson, almost to the point of sabre-rattling.

At this time, the Englishman Venables, who coached in Barcelona, Spain, repeatedly asked Hughes to join, and Atkinson naturally agreed, but Hughes hesitated for a long time, he really didn't want to leave Old Trafford. Venables gave the last reason: the English team is still in the ban period, and he can play in European competitions at Barcelona, and Hughes has made up his mind to move to Barcelona.

In his first season in Spain, perhaps not yet adapted to the rhythm of foreign countries, Hughes's table Xiàn, although it cannot be described as mediocre, is indeed not too outstanding. The Barcelona hierarchy was quick to make a quick deal and loaned him to Bayern.

※※※※※※※

It was in the 1987/1988 season that Alex Ferguson officially took charge of Manchester United. It was a big surprise for Manchester United. At the end of the season, Alex Ferguson led Manchester United to a runners-up finish in the league!

Ferguson's first full season with Manchester United has been a source of great joy for the club's management and fans. If it weren't for Liverpool's rebellion, Manchester United might even have a title shot.

The second-place finish in the league has given Ferguson a big boost to his stewardship, and his coaching is getting the team on track and moving towards the right goals.

The second best result in the league has stabbed the club's top management and football fans, who are about to be ignited by the dream of the league title. The league results are so 'outstanding', and with a little more effort, it looks like there is nothing impossible to win the championship, right? There are already eager media to remind the football 'fans', as if Ferguson was in Aberdeen, and he also started to win the championship in his third season, right?

In the summer, shortly after the end of the season, the club's management once again took the initiative to pull out the cheque book and wait for Ferguson to come up with a buying target. And Ferguson has long planned, he wants to bring in key talents on the basis of maintaining the team's basic stability and not lifting the cleansing, and lock the target of reinforcements in key positions of forwards!

Alex Ferguson insists United should bring in a new striker, and in his attacking mindset, it is difficult to achieve the goal without strong forward firepower, and it is difficult for the team to compete with the big teams in League One. Whiteside is often injured in United's current squad, the impact is greatly reduced, Davin 'Boe' can barely find the ball at times, and only McClair can be trusted, but this is not enough.

Ferguson's intention to go all out to find guns and 'spend' a lot of effort to strengthen the forward line has long been known by the media, and the media have begun to put out a list to recommend Manchester United.

It's no wonder that the media joined in the excitement, Manchester United at that time was considered a rich family in the English league, and the family had a lot of money.

The list is long, but no one can guess what Ferguson is thinking.

He actually insisted that the club buy an old striker Mark Hughes!

※※※※※※※

The club made a purchase target to Barcelona at the request of Alex Ferguson, and that was Mark Hughes. At that time, the depressed "Spark" Mark Hughes was also loaned by Barcelona to Bayern Munich. The England striker was also stunned when he heard the news!

Ferguson has his eye on Mark Hughes, a player who made a name for himself at Manchester United and then moved to Barcelona, which was a big gamble for Manchester United!

Mark Hughes, of course, is a big name, and of course a 'good' striker. But he made a name for himself at Manchester United, and then he was sold to Barcelona by the manager at the time, which meant that he was a bit purged.

In addition, Mark Hughes at that time had long faded out of the field of vision of the English media, and he himself had not become famous in Barcelona, and he had long been ridiculed by the English football community.

The so-called "Phoenix on the ground is not as good as a 'chicken'", probably referring to Mark Hughes at this time.

In the end, United brought him back to the club for a whopping £1.5 million (at the time).

After returning to United, Hughes regained his true self as the 'Red Devil', winning the 1990 FA Cup after a relentless game in which Hughes scored a goal.

In the 1991 season, just one year after England were allowed to play in the three major cups, Manchester United reached the Cup Winners' Cup final against his former club Barcelona. Hughes scored twice in the game to give his team a 2-1 victory.

This game was very painful for the Barcelona hierarchy, who deeply experienced the consequences of "letting the tiger go back to the mountain".

Hughes was twice named Player of the Year by the Professional Players Association in 1989 and 1991. During this period, Manchester United's fans gave him a new nickname, 'The Rocket', because Hughes was not only a powerful scorer himself, but also had a jaw-dropping speed and 'brilliant' ability to control and distribute the ball.

However, Manchester United have not been able to win the league title in recent years. The main reason for this is that Hughes lacked a good partner up front, whether it was Stauerton (the Irishman) or Macari (the Scottish), who were relatively poor, and this situation did not change until 1992, when Cantona moved to Manchester United.

The Frenchman's arrival added to United's strength, and his combination with Hughes went from strength to strength, and in 1993 the Reds finally won the league title. To this day, Cantona considers Hughes to be his best partner.

In 1995, manager Alex Ferguson made a major change to Manchester United. The arrival of Andy Cole and his own injury brought Hughes to the end of his 15-year spell at Manchester United, where he moved to Chelsea. At Chelsea, Hughes returned to form and helped Chelsea win the FA Cup.

※※※※※※※

Subsequently, after retiring, Mark Hughes, who gradually became the head coach, was also a remarkable example in the coaching position, when Hughes was appointed to the Welsh national team, Wales at that time was only a second- or third-rate team in the world football. However, during Hughes's five years in charge, Wales came close to qualifying for the 2004 European Championship finals. They finished second in the group, behind Italy, but unfortunately lost to Russia in the play-offs.

In September 2004, Hughes resigned as Wales national team manager to take charge of Blackburn, where he played for the last of his playing career. Hughes not only led the team to relegation that season, but also helped the team reach the last four of the FA Cup for the first time in 40 years. In his second season in charge of Blackburn Rovers, Hughes had a record-breaking season, including defeats to Arsenal in the league and Manchester United twice, giving the club the chance to play in the UEFA Cup next season.

In the summer of 2008, Mark Hughes was poached by Manchester City for a £5 million penalty to become City's new manager. Subsequently, in that summer, the Welshman was considered the luckiest coach because, having managed a team bought by the Arabs, he lived without worrying about not having enough money to spend......

Now, Hughes has a super player like Yang Fan. This is really the envy of many people.

"Welcome to Manchester City, Young!" Mark Hughes said to him, patting Yang Fan on the shoulder.

"It's a pleasure to be your player, the coach. Yang Fan also responded politely that he knew what to do when he came to the new team to have a good relationship with the head coach. Although Yang Fan is Manchester City's number one star, and even in the words of Manchester City club CEO Gary Cook, Yang Fan's status in Manchester City is even higher than that of head coach Mark Hughes, but Yang Fan is still very polite to the coach: he is a player, Mark Hughes is a coach, and players should not be too presumptuous in front of the coach, which is a basic principle for professional players.

Mark Hughes smiled, he was still very satisfied with Yang Fan's attitude. To be honest, because of the media's exaggeration of Yang Fan's 'sexual' personality, Hughes didn't know Yang Fan, he was worried that this person was a thorn in the eye, and he also knew that Yang Fan was important in the eyes of the team's top management, and he was also worried that Yang Fan would be arrogant when he was young, but now it seems that at least it looks pretty good.

※※※※※※※

Subsequently, Yang Fan underwent a physical examination in the hospital under the leadership of Manchester City's team doctor.

His entire medical check-up was also broadcast live.

This is really the first time for Manchester City, because Manchester City's influence is really limited, even when Robinho first joined, the physical examination process was only carried out in a relatively quiet atmosphere, but Yang Fan is different, his value, his status in football, are particularly eye-catching, so his joining process is destined to be different from others.

"It's really 'great'! it's perfect!" said the doctor happily, "there is no problem, I bet he can start straight away from tomorrow when the league starts." ”

Hearing the doctor do this, Mark Hughes smiled, and he finally put his mind at ease, because Manchester United fought on the fourth line last season, unless it was because of a ban on cards, Yang Fan started almost every game, and almost played a full 90 minutes, so Mark Hughes was really worried about whether Yang Fan would have a dark injury in his body, or because of muscle fatigue and fatigue, his body would become very bad.

Now seeing that Yang Fan is in such good health, the stone in his heart has fallen to the ground.

When there were no problems with the medical examination, Mark Hughes shook hands with Yang again, this time formally welcomed: "Welcome to Manchester City, Yang! I'm very happy to be your coach, I'm Mark Hughes." ”

Yang Fan also smiled and said, "I'm also very happy, coach!"

The flashing lights were a sight to be one of the most iconic moments in Manchester City's history.

※※※※※※※

About an hour later, in the press hall of Manchester City's training base, Manchester City held a press conference here, at which the news of Yang Fan's joining will be officially announced.

Media from all over the world gathered as a witness.

It was the moment when the most expensive player in football ever joined a team and will be remembered forever in the history of the game.

Yang Fan, accompanied by Manchester City manager Mark Hughes and the club's chief executive Gary Cook, entered the venue, which was already full of flashing lights, shaking the somewhat unprepared Mark Hughes.

After the three of them were seated, Manchester City CEO Gary Cook announced in the name of Manchester City officials that Yang Fan had officially become a member of Manchester City FC.

"We are delighted to announce that a great player has joined Manchester City as a player! This day is memorable for the whole club and for all the 'fans', from today, Yang Fan will officially become a Manchester City player!

"This will be the most monumental day in the club's history. ”
