Chapter 774: Blue Moon New Forces
Yang Fan did not know that his return to the national team would cause a huge reaction and changes in China, and he is now training according to his own steps, ready to meet the arrival of the new Premier League season in the best condition.
Manchester City are also preparing for the new season.
The Premier League is just around the corner in three days' time and Manchester City are doing their best to perfect the final piece of the puzzle.
Manchester City manager Mark Hughes is now worried about the selection of central defenders, and he is worried not about the lack of central defenders, but about the choice of candidates. At the moment, Manchester City have five centre-backs in the team, namely Richard. Dunn, Colo Toure, Lescott, Kompany and Onuoha, while left-back Garrido can also play at centre-back. For a team, having five decent centre-backs is not only enough, it's a bit too much.
Of the four, Colo Toure and Lescote were brought in by Manchester City in the summer, and Kompany was brought in in in the winter, and any two of the three could be paired together as the main centre-backs. Onuoha is clearly the corner of the bench defender, while the other defender is Richard. Dunn has given Mark Hughes some hesitation and headaches, Dunn has been Manchester City's main central defender, he has been with Manchester City for nine years, is a veteran of Manchester City, is the captain of the team. However, now in Mark Hughes's mind, Richard Dern's position should be behind Kompany, Lescott and Colo Toure, as the fourth central defender!
Obviously, this is not something that the Manchester City captain can accept in his prime.
And after this day's training, Mark Hughes and Richard Dunn had a communication. The outcome of this communication will determine whether Dunn is willing to stay at City.
※※※※※※※
A day later. In Manchester City's official squad for away games at Blackburn, Richard is not available. Dunn's name. Subsequently, Manchester City FC announced the captain of the team, Richard. Dunn has officially moved to Premier League side Aston Villa, and the club is grateful to Richard for the past nine years. Dunn's contribution to the team. And good luck to him.
In the afternoon, Aston Villa's official website also officially announced that the team had brought in Manchester City captain Richard for six million pounds. Dunn, the two sides signed a three-year contract, and in the final year of the contract, will see Richard. Dunn's table and number of appearances to decide whether to renew his contract for another year.
Above the news is a photo of former Manchester City captain Richard Dunn standing with Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neal with a stern face, holding an Aston Villa shirt. The shirt has the same number as Richard Dunn's number at Manchester City, number 22, with the only difference being that it is no longer the blue 'colour' he used to wear for nine years......
In October 2000, Richard Dunn arrived at Manchester City for £3 million. After that, Richard quickly integrated with the team and formed the backbone of Manchester City's back with Distin. Richard didn't score many goals in the team and was always there to help the team when it mattered most. On 4 July 2008, Dunn signed a new four-year contract with Manchester City, under which he would remain at the City Stadium until 2012. However, in the summer of 2009, the Manchester City captain, who had been with Manchester City for nine years, eventually left the country and chose to leave. Richard Dunn was the longest-serving player in the Manchester City squad around the 2002 World Cup, and he was almost the last of his team-mates to leave the club. The longest-serving player in the group of players who left ahead of Dunn was a Chinese player named Sun Jihai, who played for Manchester City for seven years......
For Dunn's transfer departure, Manchester City football "fans" are very sorry, there are many football "fans" on the football "fans" forum, they thank the captain for the past nine years for Manchester City's contribution, football "fans" also expressed their understanding of Dunn's departure, after all, after Manchester City invested heavily in the introduction of Kompany, Lescott and Colo Toure, the Manchester City captain really has few opportunities in the team, and it is indeed a helpless move to choose to leave at this time......
Richard Dern's transfer departure also made Mark Hughes breathe a sigh of relief, Dunn is the captain of Manchester City, and he has a lot of prestige within the team, such a player, if he can't get the main position, staying in the team will definitely make trouble, this is undoubtedly a locker room bomb, it is better to transfer and leave like now.
※※※※※※※
Just after dealing with Dunn's affairs, Wright Phillips is making trouble again.
Shaun Wright Phillips initially played for Nottingham Forest's youth team before being waived by the team and Manchester City called him up to the youth team in 1998. Sean Wright Phillips has been with Manchester City's first team since 1999, making 153 league appearances and scoring 26 goals in six seasons. That's quite a palmares.
Sean Wright Phillips won the admiration of Chelsea for his performances at Manchester City, and the Blues signed him for £25 million in 2005, with Sean Wright Phillips returning to his hometown of London. However, during his three seasons at Chelsea, Shaun Wright Phillips struggled to secure a place in the main team under Jose Mourinho before breaking up his relationship with new boss Scolari and eventually leaving the Blues. In three seasons at Chelsea, Shaun Wright Phillips played 82 league games and scored just four goals.
Sean Wright Phillips returned to Manchester City last summer for a transfer fee of around £8.5 million. It was here that he rediscovered his form, scoring twice in Manchester City's 3-0 win over Sunderland in his opening game and equalling his tally for three seasons at Chelsea in just one month.
Wright Phillips, who was reborn at Manchester City, is thinking again, he wants to move to the big clubs again, this time, he still wants to go back to London, not Chelsea, of course, but Arsenal.
The story between Arsenal and Phillips should be exactly in the sequel, in 2006, Arsenal took a fancy to Wright Phillips, Arsene Wenger's offer was 10 million pounds, but Chelsea sold 21 million to intercept Wright Jr. Arsene Wenger could only sigh helplessly: "There are two levels in the transfer market, one belongs to the rich Chelsea and the other belongs to other clubs. And in the summer of 2008, Wright Phillips wanted to leave after Chelsea was depressed, and Chelsea were happy to let him go, which made Wenger see the opportunity to sign Phillips again, Wenger knew that Chelsea were selling at a discount, so he offered a price of 5 million pounds, and this was the final price from Arsenal, and then, and then Manchester City offered 8.5 million pounds to cut Phillips and bring him back to the city stadium.
In fact, this is definitely not the first time that Arsene Wenger's favourite player has been cut off, as this happens all the time.
The British media once said that the "most perfect football manager" should have Wenger's 'shrewdness' and vision, Mourinho's appeal, Benitez's tactical literacy, and Ferguson's authority. This is enough to show Wenger's extremely vicious eyes when looking at people. Former Real Madrid president Calderón once said: "As long as Wenger fantasizes the player, we don't need to send scouts to investigate, just buy directly." "Arsene Wenger has a reputation and his favoured targets are bound to be coaxed when the media is in the media. Whether it is a club with deep pockets such as Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, and Chelsea, or a giant 'family' such as Manchester United and Barcelona that have won championships almost every year, the attraction to players is certainly higher than that of Arsenal.
And Cristiano Ronaldo, who just transferred to Real Madrid for 82 million pounds, also has a relationship with Arsenal. The British "Guardian" reported that in fact, as early as January 2002, 17-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo, led by his agent 'Mendes', came to Arsenal to meet Wenger. A few years later, Arsene Wenger also admitted that the Gunners were missing out on Cristiano Ronaldo, who was almost in his hands because of a gap of hundreds of thousands of pounds. In 2008, Cristiano Ronaldo recalled this past in an interview with France Football: Arsene Wenger gave him a shirt, and Ronaldo's mother also came to Highbury three times, but it has been delayed because of the transfer fee. Manchester United is also eyeing Cristiano Ronaldo, and the story behind it is well known - in the friendly match between Manchester United and Sporting Lisbon in 2003, Cristiano Ronaldo won the best player, and Queiroz, who is familiar with Portuguese players, staged a legendary story of 'recommending Ferguson to sign Cristiano Ronaldo on the plane'.
Of course, the most famous story is the story between Yang Fan and Arsenal, when everyone had not noticed Yang Fan, a young man who was still playing in the Newcastle youth team, Wenger took a fancy to Yang Fan, only because he was a step slow, he watched Newcastle loan Yang Fan to Wolfsburg, and then Yang Fan shined in Wolfsburg, and in the summer of 2007, Wenger asked Newcastle to buy Yang Fan, Newcastle offered 10 million pounds, Wenger hesitated, and then ...... Then it was Wolfsburg who made a quick move and took Yang Fan for 20 million euros...... Then, Yang Fan shocked the whole of Europe in the season when he officially transferred to Wolfsburg, and in the summer of 2008, Wenger asked for Yang Fan again, his offer was 20 million pounds, which is definitely Arsenal's largest recruitment price in the last ten years, but everyone knows the story behind, Ferguson came out and got Yang Fan for 35 million pounds...... At Manchester United, Yang Fan has grown into a world superstar, and his value has increased to an incredible level......
Now, Phillips, who was depressed at Chelsea, has made a 'show' appearance at Manchester City, and Wenger has called it again, but Arsenal is unlikely to shell out too much transfer fee, so Wenger hopes that Phillips can put pressure on Manchester City...... This made Phillips hesitate, after all, Manchester City cultivated him and gave him a new life when he was at his worst, which is somewhat inauthentic. Moreover, there has always been a saying that Wright Phillips is only suitable for growing in the soil of Manchester City, and when he leaves Manchester City, he immediately loses his 'color'...... This is not an empty statement, as Wright Jr. is exemplified by his poor performance at Chelsea and the restoration of his original factory settings immediately after returning to Manchester City, so he is actually full of jealousy of leaving Manchester City himself.
Eventually, Mark. Hughes talked bitterly with Wright Jr., and promised the main position, and finally dismissed Wright Phillips's mind to go to Arsenal, and then, Manchester City also renewed the contract with Wright Jr., greatly increasing his salary, and for Wenger, this can be said to be Arsenal defeated by money again, because Arsenal can't afford Manchester City to give Phillips such a high salary.
※※※※※※※
With Wright Phillips' goofy for a transfer affair, the first round of the 2009/2010 Premier League season is just around the corner, and Manchester City will officially start the new season.
Manchester City's marketing department has also begun to wave the flag for the new season, and the cover of their latest issue of the team magazine is to use photos of Yang Fan, Tevez, Adebayo and Richards, the first three are new to the team in the summer, and have a high reputation, especially Yang Fan, his joining has made all Manchester City football 'fans' almost fall into madness, and Richards is a player cultivated by Manchester City's own youth system - this team magazine has been interpreted by some media as Manchester City's version of the 'Zidane + Pavon' policy.
Just before the team departed for Blackburn Rovers, Manchester City held a press conference and their manager Mark Hughes gathered for a press conference and a meeting with the fans.
Among the seven new signings, Yang Fan stands in the middle, on the left hand is his teammate and friend Tevez from Manchester United, former Arsenal central defender Kolo Toure, former Tottenham Hotspur central defender Lescott, and on the right hand is former Arsenal striker Adebayor, former Aston Villa captain Gareth Barry, and former Blackburn star Santa Cruz......
Although it is the appearance of the seven new signings together, there is no doubt that Yang Fan is the most focused, he stole the limelight from everyone, was surrounded by his teammates in the middle, facing the cameras raised by reporters, under the continuous flashing magnesium lights, Yang Fan's face was full of smiles, and he was very confident in his future in this team. And then...... Then it was Wolfsburg who made a quick move and took Yang Fan for 20 million euros...... Then, Yang Fan shocked the whole of Europe in the season when he officially transferred to Wolfsburg, and in the summer of 2008, Wenger asked for Yang Fan again, his offer was 20 million pounds, which is definitely Arsenal's largest recruitment price in the last ten years, but everyone knows the story behind, Ferguson came out and got Yang Fan for 35 million pounds......
