399. Insidious plan
Wen Sheng sometimes has a hard time making up his mind, for example, Pogba's transfer, this player he knows is a future superstar, but when it comes to the end, he is worried about Raiola, a super agent predator, this birdman is not easy to deal with, and the most important thing is that he will inevitably open his mouth.
Although he had expected it, Wensheng still secretly contacted Raiola privately before the FA Cup game, and the result was not beyond Wensheng's speculation, Raiola asked for a £1.7 million intermediary fee, which was completely inconsistent with Wensheng's expectations, let alone through Morelli.
But Wensheng still did not easily refuse Raiola, but talked more deeply with Raiola, and even how to use Pogba, Wensheng had in-depth exchanges with Raiola.
Then the interesting story happened, the Manchester Evening News broke the news that Manchester City had also joined the race for Pogba, and at the same time they broke the news that Manchester City had made an offer to Queens Park Rangers to join Tarabut.
"I knew it was so!" When Wen Sheng learned from the media that Manchester City was not depressed but happy, it was good, and his insidious plan was like this, which attracted Manchester City's attention, and he was easy to do Pizarro.
And Manchester City's roaring offer Tarabut is a surprise to Wensheng, and now that Manchester City has made an offer, he can naturally ask the teacher Warnock what he means.
There has always been no shortage of deception in the transfer market, Wensheng was originally going for Pizarro, Pizarro has two advantages that Pogba can not compare, one is to have rich experience, and the other is to spend no money.
Pizarro is still in a stalemate at the moment, but Wen Sheng doesn't believe they can calm down, you must know that keeping a player who is not in the team in the team is completely setting a time bomb for themselves, and there is a high probability that Roma will release him before the end of the winter transfer window.
On the 5th, Wensheng specially invited Warnock and Mick. Jones and other former "comrades-in-arms" had dinner together.
In the name of celebrating the New Year, Warnock and others did not doubt him and went to the appointment happily.
When the wine was half-drunk, Wen Sheng secretly asked the old handsome Warnock.
"Old man, I heard that Manchester City offered Rangers £10 million for Tarabut, is this true?!"
"It's true, but I'm not going to sell him!" Warnock is full of disdain for Manchester City.
Wen Shengxin said that sure enough, whoever fucked the first Titarabut would definitely make Warnock unhappy.
"If you're going to sell him, tell me! I can bid 11 million! Wen Sheng told Warnock with a tease.
"Is what you're saying true?!" Warnock laughed, "As far as I know, your team's wingers aren't bad!" ”
Warnock believes that Larsson and Hao Junmin are both wingers, Aubameyang is also a winger, and Crystal Palace does not look bad, but the poor full-backs are real.
"Just because you're not bad doesn't mean you let Manchester City take advantage of it! £10 million for Tarabut and I can too! Wen Sheng said domineeringly.
"Crystal Palace and Manchester City?! Hehe...... "Warnock laughed, that clearly means that Crystal Palace, you are poorer than what kind of big man you are pretending to be, fighting with Manchester City for financial resources, isn't that funny?!
"If you bid the same, I'll let Tarabut choose you! But only if I decide to let him go! Warnock thought for a moment and said to Wen Sheng.
Wen Sheng was overjoyed, raised his glass and said to Warnock: "If you sell Tarabut to me, I will give you a surprise!" ”
......
On the evening of the 7th, the third round of the FA Cup opened, and Crystal Palace's opponent was Birmingham.
Last season, Birmingham's head coach was the Scotsman McLeish, who obviously took Birmingham to relegation, but no one expected the head show of the boss of Villa to be funny, and actually invited McLeish to join Villa, you must know that Villa and Birmingham are mortal enemies in the same city.
Birmingham fans don't know whether to rejoice or be angry, and it's always their club that has to look for a new manager, and then find Wensheng's old acquaintance Chris. Hughton.
Chris. Hughton actually almost couldn't get the position of Birmingham at that time, just because the other candidate, Zola, asked for an annual salary of 2 million pounds from Birmingham, where could Birmingham be willing to take 2 million pounds?! It is said that the Birmingham top brass at the time muttered behind his back: "Daniel. Wen is said to have an annual salary of only about 1 million pounds, how can he Zorrah Hode ask for 2 million pounds?! ”
Chris. Hutton didn't have the magic of his time at Newcastle at Birmingham, who have only picked up 33 points so far in the Championship and are in 15th place, with only two wins in 11 away games, which is far from enough for Birmingham, who are determined to return to the Premier League.
However, Houton's Birmingham City have played very well at home, not losing a single defeat in 11 home games.
This is where the test comes for Crystal Palace, who are Birmingham's home stadium and Hutton is also a manager who knows Wensheng well.
In his pre-match press conference, Wen Sheng praised Hughton as his friend and a very capable coach.
The two of them have a good heart, and Hughton also said that Wen Sheng is highly respected by himself.
This match is a bit under-important for the two.
As Crystal Palace's side, Wen Sheng is absolutely unwilling to waste too much energy on the FA Cup game, in order to cope with the FA Cup, he transferred several players from the Crystal Palace youth team and let them start this game, the real attitude can be seen.
As a Reston man, the Championship schedule is no easier than that of the Premier League, and he is equally reluctant to waste too much energy in this FA Cup game.
Hughton continued to play this game with the tactics of Wensheng Busliu, Birmingham are more qualified than Crystal Palace, who are now the top team in the Premier League, and the players have their own pride, even if the youth team players are confident in this game.
But this kind of self-confidence is blind, Wen Sheng is standing on the sidelines, and he has no intention of suppressing the honey confidence of the young players.
Sometimes setbacks are good for a team, and it's never a bad thing to lose the FA Cup and focus on the league and the Champions League.
With the goal of the championship, Wen Sheng has now let go of his courage, and he can say whatever the public opinion wants, anyway, he is confident that the players will be able to understand his strategic arrangement.
The game ended with Birmingham beating Crystal Palace in a shock at home.
In fact, this result did not surprise too many people, Gary. Neville said before the game: "Crystal Palace's squad is not enough to cope with the third line, I think the best option for Wen is to focus on the league and the Champions League, the FA Cup has good reasons to give up, Birmingham have a good chance to win at home to Crystal Palace!" ”
After the game, Wen Sheng commented: "We can't take the result of this game too seriously! I think a couple of our lads have done really well and I'd love to give them that opportunity to show themselves! ”
Instead of criticizing the team for losing the game, he praised the team's youngsters.
Wen Sheng's statement was confirmed in the post-match media ratings, and Crystal Palace's players did not score badly and basically passed.
They lost to Birmingham and the players scored a bit higher than them.
"You don't want to win this game, do you?!" When he got together with Wen Sheng after the game, he was a little helpless.
"No, Chris! I just don't think this game is that important! "Wen Sheng told the truth.
"You've been great at home! This is confirmed once again today! Wen Sheng gave a thumbs up.
Of course, Hughton will not be so optimistic, the reason why Crystal Palace failed to win is because Wen Sheng deliberately let the main team rest, and the young players of the youth team play the main force.
"Daniel, I'm not dizzy!" Hughton pointed to his head, "You've created a problem for me!" ”
The fourth round of the FA Cup is played on the 28th, with Birmingham playing one more round and the schedule will be a test for them.
Winning the FA Cup is a complete unattainable dream for Birmingham, and the most important thing for Hulton to keep his position in the league is to try for promotion.
