"You can try to make an offer of £8 million and then negotiate slowly and gradually increase the price, and I think Walker can do it for £15 million!" Zahavi reminded Wen Sheng.

Tottenham have never sold a full-back for £15 million before, and Zahavi's analysis is apt and correct.

After Wensheng and Zahavi discussed, they called Begiristan again and discussed the bidding strategy with each other, Begiristan was helpless to Wensheng's invitation to Zahavi, he used to work in Barcelona and rarely dealt with Levi, and the relationship was not familiar, unlike Zahavi who has been in English football for a long time, is a guest of major clubs, and is also familiar with Levy, so he can say a few words.

Wen Sheng also made it clear that Zahavi came forward to ask for money, Begiristain is not strange at all, English football is like this, Barcelona is similar, it is normal for agents to make money through the head coach, isn't Guardiola's brother also making money through Guardiola.

Less than three days later, Wen Sheng led the team to adjust Norwich away again.

Norwich head coach Chris. Hughton is an old friend of Wensheng, last season Lambert led Norwich to successful relegation and was poached by Villa, Norwich then recruited Hughton who was idle at home, Norwich itself is relatively weak, but this season under the leadership of Hughton has really performed well, once beat Manchester United, also drew with Liverpool, currently in the league with 25 points, in the middle, relegation hope is great.

Manchester City faced Norwich City in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup, and that game was also played at Norwich's home stadium at Carrow Road, when Manchester City beat Norwich City 4-0 away to reach the semi-finals, and Wen Sheng did not give face to his old friend at all.

That game was not particularly referential, because Manchester City scored early and the Carabao Cup was a knockout game, and Norwich had to counterattack after conceding a goal, and they lost by a large margin in that game.

On the afternoon of the 29th, this game was much more stalemate than the League Cup game, Manchester City's side was not in good shape, fatigue fighting, coupled with the impact of continuous away games, the players looked tired, and they still had an advantage in possession, but the ability to create and grasp opportunities was not good, and the strikers Dzeko and Aspas were in very poor condition.

In the 16th minute of the first half, Norwich took advantage of Melo's mistake to open the door for Manchester City, and then in the 33rd minute, De Bruyne equalised the score with a long-range shot.

Not long after the start of the second half, Norwich corner, Savic's unlucky own goal, let Norwich at home take the lead again, Hughton is very pragmatic, against the same level of team he can wave, against Manchester City he is obviously not so stupid, after two unexpected leads, he used the bus to deal with Manchester City.

Hutton is not very good at setting up the bus, Norwich is not without loopholes, the key is that Manchester City's state is really poor, and even absolute good chances have not been created a few times, and in the end Manchester City lost 1:2 away in this game.

Wen Sheng was furious in the dressing room after the game, he was really dissatisfied, the team was tired, he understood, but sometimes he needed to persevere, and Manchester City were obviously weaker than Norwich in this game.

"Do you think that a five-point gap will give you peace of mind?!"

"Shit, Manchester United once beat Newcastle by eight points, and if we lose by one point, Manchester United have one more point of hope for a comeback! I want your will to fight, and I want you to play every game as if it were a final! ”

The scolding made the Manchester City players experience the thunderous power of Wen Sheng.

Then in January, the game against Stoke City on January 1 was probably due to the return to home, the team's performance improved significantly, although the final score was only 1:0, the team created more chances and completely controlled the pace of the game.

On this day, Manchester City quickly announced that the team had brought in young homegrown centre-back John Stones from Barnsley, and Wen Sheng also talked about Stones in his post-match interview.

"Stones is a deal for the future, he's a very good young homegrown centre-back with a lot of potential! We are currently short of players at centre-back and John can fill that gap! ”

The arrival of Stones also means that Richards' departure is almost a foregone conclusion, Richards has too many injuries, his form has declined very much, and he has found space in Manchester City at all, and Wensheng does not need Richards to use Milner because this kid's ability is not as good as before, and he has planned it when the winter window opens, whether it is on loan or sold, Richards is not suitable to stay in the team.

The Stones trade came true, and Richards, the kid, finally couldn't help it, without the permission of the club, and publicly told the media that Wensheng didn't trust him.

'He didn't trust me at all, I was still on the bench after I was injured and I never got a chance to play! I should be on the pitch instead of being a water cooler caretaker! ”

Richards has been a hornet's nest at this time, the first player since his tenure to dare to publicly criticize the manager in this way, and Balotelli has only made such remarks after leaving.

The next day of training, this guy actually had the courage to come to the training ground to participate in training.

Wen Sheng told him directly, "Hurry up and get out of the first-team training ground!" I don't care where you go, but you'll never be allowed to show up here! ”

"Why did you drive me away?!" Richards is tougher than Balotelli.

Wen Sheng sneered: "It's up to me here!" ”

Wen Sheng really didn't expect that such a fool would go against him recklessly, and be so tough, which made him even more angry, and he almost had to sacrifice his "Chinese kung fu" again.

"Who do you think you are?! You're a fucking idiot! Utter idiot, loser! I'm telling you, there's no way you're going to leave in the winter window, and you don't want to get even a minute of playing time under me in the future! ”

Richards didn't say anything and just stayed there, Wen Sheng let go of the cruel words, vented and finally controlled his emotions, since he didn't move, Wen Sheng didn't bother to pay attention to him, he took care of his own training, he had the means to clean up this kind of thorn.

After training, Kompany approached Richards to persuade him to apologize to the manager, and Richards was still stiff in his neck, but the next day the kid obediently went to Wensheng's office to say sorry.

All this because of his agent, Richards is also a player under Barnett's company, Barnett had dealt with Wensheng in Hart's affairs before, but Hart is still not the absolute main force, and is obviously below in the competition with Navas, Barnett is not satisfied with Wensheng's handling of it, so Richards, who speaks but has a brain, made a statement attacking Wensheng, and this predator actually sat and watched the situation and wanted to see how Wensheng dealt with it.

When Wen Sheng dealt with Richards with a tough attitude the next day, and Manchester City also fined Richards for the first time, after the ban was punished, Barnett knew that most of the fucking people couldn't resist Wen Sheng, and it was difficult to embarrass Wen Sheng, so he naturally took Richards to give in and leave, hello, hello, hello, everyone.
