222. Borrowing Kearney (Asking for Recommendations, Seeking Collections, Seeking Subscriptions)
On Tuesday, the team travelled to London.
Previously, Wensheng contacted Professor Wenger and wanted to borrow Arsenal's Kearney training base for training, and the professor agreed, but this old boy was enough to pick the door, and actually told Wensheng that he needed to pay rent.
A.T. Kearney is much larger than Manchester City's Carrington training base, and although it has been Arsenal's training base since the 60s, Arsene Wenger has been expanding and renovating since he took over, and Kearney should be regarded as the more luxurious training base in the Premier League.
It's a long way from Wembley Stadium, but City will stay at a hotel near Wembley Stadium on match days to avoid traffic jams.
Of course, next season Manchester City will move into the Etihad training base next to the Etihad Stadium, which is even more elegant than A.T. Kearney.
Mane spoke to Wensheng again after arriving in London, and he expressed his willingness to follow Wensheng's arrangement.
"The reason why I am reluctant to sell you is because I am optimistic about your future! The starting point of your arrangement will definitely be for your future development, but Sadio, what will you do in the future, what level of player will you become, no one can get a ticket, you can decide where your own ceiling is! β
"Some of your qualities are good now, but in the future you need to grasp a degree, about freedom and discipline, when you should go on a rampage, when you should choose to trust your teammates, you have to be good in between!"
"In fact, there are many players like you in this world who have speed and excellent passing skills, but why do many people always fail to become atmospheric in the end?! You have to learn the lesson that you can't survive in modern football with a simple sprint alone! β
This time with Mane in detail, Wensheng took a longer time, he hoped that Mane could make changes in some aspects to make up for his shortcomings, Wensheng also said a lot of reasons, and introduced Mane's views on the development of the football world.
To be honest, in the past almost a year, Mane has found this conversation with the boss the happiest and has made him understand a lot of things.
So when the two ended the conversation, Mane sincerely said to Wen Sheng, "Thank you!" β
"Do a good job! I'm optimistic about you! I didn't mean to tie you down, Sadio, one day if you really can't find happiness here, why not leave! Now you're on loan and maybe not doing well in your new team, but there's still a chance you can come back to me! But if you move away, you're no longer a Manchester City player, you're going the wrong way, and there's no chance of coming back! I can't help you even if I look at you! β
Mane was shocked, and on the way back to his room, he carefully pondered Wen Sheng's words, and found that Wen Sheng made a lot of sense, at least Wen Sheng's inexplicable optimistic trust is definitely difficult to find in other coaches.
Mane was moved by himself.
......
Arsene Wenger had not yet gone on holiday after the end of the season, and Manchester City rented A.T. Kearney and visited the training base on the first day.
"I think you can win the Champions League!" Arsene Wenger and Wensheng stood side by side on the sidelines.
"Just this season? What day is the 25th?! β
"Yes!" The only Chinese network
"I'm curious how you could have such a hunch!" Wen Sheng was stunned, unable to understand why the professor had such a premonition.
"Because you can control the rhythm of the game, you can defend well, you can't win the Champions League without a good defense! Alas, in the final against Barcelona back then, if we had slowed down, we might not have lost that game! Arsene Wenger reminisced about that game, and after many years, the final that was also at Wembley was a pain in Wenger's heart.
Of course, it was the referee Hauge who Wenger wanted to scold the most, and the guy sent Lehmann off in less than 20 minutes, and many people thought that the penalty changed the situation on the pitch and made that duel unworthy of its name.
At that time, Arsenal was also in full swing, and the fast-paced offensive football made Arsenal attract the attention of countless people, and Barcelona at that time was in the era of Rijkaard, the era of Ronaldo, they were the spokesmen of artistic football, and the two teams collided Honestly, most people are still optimistic about Barcelona, because Barcelona has Ronaldo.
The referee ruined the game, but Wenger has also thought about some questions over the years, why Lehmann would bring people down on the edge of the box, in the final analysis, it was his own sin, Lehmann's head was not dizzy, or that the Arsenal formation was not so aggressive and not so that it could be played like that.
The Professor's team brought the pace of the game too fast, and they didn't expect to end up getting around themselves.
"There is no comparison!" Wen Sheng shook his head, at that time, football was not as utilitarian as it is now, many excellent teams played art, the imagination and talent of the stars were artistically displayed, and the comfort that football brought to the fans was the charm of football.
Fans with a longer time span will have a clear feeling that the art of football is slowly dissipating and utilitarian football is in vogue.
Who is to blame?! Social progress can only be blamed.
This conclusion seems very strange, but in fact it is true, with the progress of society, the improvement of living standards, the salaries of players are also rising rapidly, the club's operating costs, buying prices are rising, commercial income is only a small part of the income for many teams, and the majority of the major league teams still come from broadcast fees.
If you want to get more money, you have to get results, and if you don't get results, you don't have money!
In addition, for the bosses, the first expectation of the club is the championship, and the second is to play beautifully, not to mention that all the owners think so, at least the order of the vast majority of owners is like this.
During that Champions League period, Wenger still adhered to some beliefs, and he would not be reluctant against Barcelona, and then met Barcelona for two consecutive years, and his Arsenal did not have much reluctance, but he lost without temper, and now he sees Manchester City Wenger is a little emotional, and he still has to be reluctant when football is still stubborn, but Wenger may really not be able to adjust the defense.
"It's really not comparable, I'm still me at another time!" Arsene Wenger laughed.
"Arsène, it's time for a change! Even the fans are starting to hate you without a championship, and no matter how good your offense is, it can't hide that your defense is! Haha, it's time for you to buy people, you can't do anything with your group of people, you have the ability to be true, you are not fake, but your players, well, how to put it, are far from as good as you imagined! Wen Sheng smiled and persuaded Wenger.
"Are you selling me players?! De Bruyne, or Silva! Or Yaya Toure?! β
"You're thinking a lot!" Wen Sheng couldn't help laughing, "Even if you want to sell them, you really can't get that money!" I'll just ask you, the three of them start at Β£6,000, can you buy it?! β
"You're blackmailing!" Wenger was dumbfounded.
"I'm not blackmailing, they're priceless, and if they want to leave, the price can only be higher than that! Manchester City is not a charity church! Wen Sheng argued.
Wenger smiled bitterly, he would never spend such a large sum of money to buy a player, even Messi and Ronaldo did not have this possibility.
