In Ding Hongxing's vision, only Cordoba needs to be bought this year, and the team does not need to introduce any players, and now the team's personnel structure is very reasonable, there are three generations of old, middle and young, all of them are very powerful players, especially the main lineup, and now they are basically in the golden age, reaching the peak of professional players, and most of them have played together for two seasons. The chemistry is also getting better, and it can be said that there is no need to bring in any more big players now. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the pre-season training was delayed by the trip to China, due to the stability of the team's lineup, to some extent, it did not have much impact on the team's cooperation.

Manchester City's consistency is the envy of other big teams, you know, many big teams have undergone a big change this summer, and they are facing a painful run-in process.

The biggest transfer news this summer was of course Ronaldo's move to Serie A giants Inter Milan for a whopping $27.9 million, and the Brazilian striker left after only one season for Barcelona, but he helped Barcelona win a European Cup Winners' Cup, won the title of La Liga's top scorer, and earned the nickname "Alien" this season.

One top scorer moved from La Liga to Serie A, but another top scorer moved from Serie A to La Liga: Vieri, who sold him to Atletico Madrid for $16.5 million due to Juventus bringing in Inzaghi.

Ding Hongxing's old club Ajax was completely divided, Kluivert transferred to the Serie A giants AC Milan, and formed the New Holland Three with former teammates Davies and Reziger, Overmars transferred to the Premier League Arsenal team, Wenger also introduced the main defender of the French national team, Petit, and his transformation of Arsenal is gradually underway.

And the biggest blow to Ajax, of course, is the resignation of their head coach Van Gaal, Van Gaal really can't accept the days when his main players are poached by the giants one by one, he wants to go to a team that will not be poached by others, Barcelona is obviously a team that meets his requirements.

Van Gaal's departure means that Ajax will no longer have the possibility of getting involved in Europe's top honours.

In the Premier League, Manchester City's biggest rival Manchester United suffered a major blow this summer, the team's attacking pillar Cantona suddenly announced his retirement without warning, which shocked Manchester United and their fans, and also weakened Manchester United's attacking strength, therefore, Manchester United's most important task this summer is to find guns, Ferguson's targets include a number of big-name strikers, in order to compete with Manchester City, he has sent invitations to Ronaldo, Kluivert, Shearer and other big-name strikers, However, in the end, he only bought Yorke and Sheringham, two strikers, Sheringham, both of whom are over 30 years old, and the reinforcement of Manchester United has disappointed fans, who do not think that this squad can compete with the mighty Manchester City team.

Only Ding Hongxing knows that in this season, Manchester United formed the later famous Black Wind Twins, they are Cole and York, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Sheringham, the two substitute strikers, are also the famous super substitutes later, it should be said that Ferguson's vision is still quite good.

In short, all the teams have not been idle this summer, and they are all trying to strengthen the team, hoping to make an impact on those limited honors in the coming season.

The first game of the season for Manchester City and the Premier League was the Charity Shield on 9 August, against double league and FA Cup winners Manchester City and double runners-up Manchester United, two old rivals who have faced each other quite a lot in recent seasons.

Before this game, the Manchester City team also used the ten days to try to let the players recover their fitness and condition in order to meet another Manchester derby, if the Charity Shield is against other teams, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, but against the city's rivals, it is absolutely impossible to lose.

In the locker room, Quinn took the initiative to officially give up his first captain to Ding Hongxing, this is the second time he has taken the initiative to give the captain to Ding Hongxing, he said to Mu Shengli that he will be thirty-one years old soon, his physical fitness is not as good as when he was young, injuries are also increasing, and the number of appearances will definitely decrease, and Ding Hongxing is almost full attendance in the Manchester City team, and he can play a greater role on the field, so it is more appropriate to let Ding Hongxing be the captain.

This time Ding Hongxing also wanted to push, after all, Quinn has been the captain for a few years, and he has always been very good, Ding Hongxing feels that he has no reason to take over Quinn's captainship, but Quinn really wants to give the captain to Ding Hongxing, and the other players in the team have no opinion on this, of course they are convinced by Ding Hongxing, and in the end, Mu Shengli decided to let Ding Hongxing serve as the first captain, and Quinn as the second captain.

Generally speaking, when the previous captain is still in the team, the replacement of the first captain will bring some turmoil to the dressing room, but after the Manchester City team changed the captain, not only did it not have turmoil, but morale was high, of course, because Ding Hongxing's role in the Manchester City team was too great, and his prestige in the team was unmatched.

With such high morale, on August 9, at Wembley Stadium in London, Manchester City once again met their rivals Manchester United in the Charity Shield.

Since Ding Hongxing's transfer to Manchester City, Manchester United has not won against Manchester City for two whole seasons, which is unthinkable for Manchester United, which has been smooth sailing in the Premier League, therefore, in this game, Manchester United fans have been sparing no effort to cheer for the team they support, hoping that they can win this game, even if it is an inconsequential Charity Shield, it is also very important for Manchester United who have not scored any honors in two seasons, and more importantly, The win allowed them to break their psychological disadvantage against Manchester City for the time being.

After the start of the game, the Manchester United players with a mourning momentum, launched a full-court pressing, they also had the upper hand in the offensive for a while, in fact, this is not surprising, after all, the Manchester City team visited China this summer, the training is not systematic enough, and there must be a gap between the physical fitness and the Manchester United team that has been training in Manchester, and Manchester United team is not worse than Manchester City team except for Ding Hongxing.
