After 10 days of physical training, City's tactical training began – and in those 10 days, Dick and Marriner discussed the main tactics for the new season, depending on the staff.

Ten days of physical training seems a little little, but Manchester City's players are generally very young and in excellent physical fitness, after a hard practice, although the Manchester City players complained, but still let their physical fitness quickly become good, so that they can carry out tactical training as soon as possible.

The basic tactics arranged by Dick are variants of four-three-three and four-four-two, the goalkeeper has gradually come out in the training during this time, and in the goalkeeper training specially arranged by Marina, Ixasson has not had much effect, after all, his age is not too young, and the progress will not be too obvious, and the contest between the two young goalkeepers Schmeichel Jr. and Joe Hart, Joe Hart has the upper hand, although Schmeichel Jr. can be described as a family history, but in terms of personal quality and level, it is Joe Hart who has the upper hand, His physical fitness is very good, quick reaction, just the goal-line skills still need to be honed, England's goalkeeper training system is actually very average, they have almost never produced any top goalkeepers, especially after the establishment of the Premier League, the best goalkeeper Sea-Man often has problems in the game, which has a lot to do with their overall training, and in Marriner's focused training, Joe Hart's goal-line skills began to gradually become excellent, and his improvement is also the largest among the three goalkeepers, After the adjustment of the game, maybe Joe Hart can stand out among the three goalkeepers and become Manchester City's main goalkeeper.

Employing a new goalkeeper is obviously a risky move, but in this era when top goalkeepers are hard to find, sticking with such a promising young goalkeeper may pay off handsomely.

Dick will not be easily shaken by the back four system, and he also has good full-backs - Barnes and Richards are both good defenders, Richards is more physical, Barnes is more solid, they both have some offensive ability, of which Barnes is better offensively than Richards, and he may have more assists, which is in line with Dick's requirements.

Sun Jihai will become a panacea substitute in the backcourt, of course, mainly for Barnes, he is almost thirty years old now, and when it is time to play as a substitute, Dick plans to talk to him properly, as a compatriot, such a conversation may go well.

Hart, on the other hand, will be used as a substitute at left-back, he is not too young, and he will be willing to play as a substitute, unless Barnes has an injury or a red card, he may not have many chances to play.

In the position of central defender, the first to determine the main force is Samuel, as the most famous defender in the backline, Samuel has a wealth of experience, although the performance in Real Madrid in the past few years is not particularly good, but after all, he is strong, and he has not suffered that serious injury, his ability to fill and organize the back line will be a wealth in the Manchester City backline.

As for Samuel's partner, the other four centre-backs are all competent, on the contrary, if Samuel is suspended, his position is not too easy to fill, England lack a lagging centre-back, Kompany barely has this quality, he will also be Samuel's best partner, Joel Luka, Cahill and Dunn will be more of a substitute.

In terms of midfield, Yaya Toure is Manchester City's number one star, there is no doubt about it, whether it is the experience of winning the championship or the experience of the Champions Cup, he is not lacking, and his ability to attack and defend can also make Manchester City's midfield tough, he will not be an organizer, Dick's squad also lacks a midfield organizer, his task is to make the entire Manchester City's offensive and defensive conversion not disjointed, whether it is defensive or offensive, he will play a huge role.

Beside him are Barton and Parker, although Barton is a famous bad boy, but his defensive ability is very strong, and he eats more cards, Parker is more offensive and defensive, and he is not afraid of doing dirty work, the midfielder composed of these three people may be worse in organizing the attack, but in terms of defensive intensity, it is almost not inferior to Chelsea's steel midfield, Dick's initial plan is to make Yaya Toure become a midfielder like Lampard, not necessarily organized, but can play his characteristics in the back row, Liberate him completely.

And to organize the attack, it depends on the three strikers in the front court.

Manchester City's three midfielders and two fullbacks, the organizational ability is average, but the ball can still be passed to the front, Ribery can become the core of the frontcourt, Dick will give him more range of movement and organizational power, both wings will be where he appears, after taking the ball, whether it is a breakthrough or a pass, he will play by himself, and the two strikers Torres and Di Natale are responsible for receiving and scoring, such tactics, Manchester City may not have an organizational core, but their attack will be more active and active.

In this main lineup, all the players are players with excellent physical fitness and a large range of movement, and such a lineup will adapt quickly in the Premier League, because the pace of the Premier League itself is very fast, with Samuel's organization in defense, and the grinding of three players in the midfield, plus the cooperation of the attackers in the front, after running-in, they will soon be able to adapt to the Premier League, which is also what Dick hopes to see.

The days in Dubai are fulfilling and the days in Dubai are very comfortable.

The Arabs did have money, and in such a place of yellow sand, they built a city where they could find any kind of enjoyment, and Dick felt that he would have to live in Dubai for a few more days in the future, which was a paradise for the rich.

In the next few days of the training camp, Manchester City played two warm-up matches with the local team, and the quality of such warm-up games was naturally not very high, and Dick just asked the players to find a feel for the game.

However, the magnanimity of Manchester City's new owner also made all the Manchester City players see that Mansour once came to the Burj Khalifa to visit the Manchester City players, and then gave each player a gift of a watch worth hundreds of thousands of pounds - this alone cost Mansour four million pounds, and the one given to Dick was of a higher grade, said to be worth millions of pounds.

Dick accepted it honestly, he knew that Mansour was rich, so he didn't care about it, and the players seemed surprised, after all, a greeting gift was worth their salaries for several weeks, and even the richest owners rarely did this......

"See, our boss is richer than that Russian, so play well and win the championship, the boss can't treat you badly."

Dick took advantage of this to cheer up the players, and the players began to appear more positive one by one - the power of money is sometimes very useful......

The progress of training during this period of time Dick saw it in his eyes and began to be satisfied, several top players accepted it very quickly, of course, this also has a lot to do with the role they play in the tactics, they are all the core, they need teammates to cooperate with him, of course they are proficient quickly, and when they start to get used to the new tactics, they can become the framework of the whole tactics, and others only need to cooperate with them.

Of course, just 20 days is not enough time for Manchester City's players to quickly cooperate and tacitly cooperate, but Dick is not in a hurry, the league is a very long process, Manchester City can slowly adjust their state and find the rhythm of the game.

Dick is not a god, he can't quickly make the team become tacit, what needs to be done now is to let the team quickly form up and be tested in the league.

Twenty days passed, and the Manchester City players left Dubai with some reluctance - they had a very happy time in these 20 days, and the luxury and seven-star service of the Burj Khalifa were not something that could be enjoyed casually, of course, they had a very painful time in the past 20 days, on the training ground, Dick and Marriner, the tacit partner of the pair, made them miserable with a large amount of exercise, and they didn't even have the strength to go out to play after training almost every day......

"Don't forget, we're not here for vacation, we're here to train...... On the training pitch I need any bit of effort from you to make sure you have enough fitness to play when the season starts...... Now that the 20-day training camp is over, I think you can take it easy. On the plane back to London, Dick smiled and said to the players.

Relax your sister!

The players complained in their hearts, because they were too tired, they didn't have the strength to go to the bar to hook up with beautiful women in Dubai, and now they can relax...... It's back to Manchester, what a relief! We want exoticism!

"In the UAE, it's illegal to have sex with someone, and you have to be whipped with a whip." Dick said to them in all seriousness, "For the safety of your lives, I have restrained you." ”

The players looked at each other, and this group of uneducated people thought it was a bit incredible, but the leader said it so surely, is it really like this?

Marriner said to the side: "That's it, the customs of the Arab world...... Some are different. ”

The players are starting to believe it now - no wonder Dick, who is known for his playboy, is also innocent in Dubai, and that's why...... It doesn't seem like there's much fun in Dubai now, so you have to be careful the next time you come to the training camp......

"Dubai's scary is mostly for women, right? There's nothing wrong with men, right? Marriner asked Dick secretly.

"Of course, women have to worry a little bit there, and men really don't have anything to fear." Dick shrugged his shoulders: "There is really no protection for women's rights in that place......

"Then why are you scaring them so that they don't go out to find a woman?" Marriner asked a little strangely.

"I have changed my ways, and I no longer go out to find women...... So it's better not to look for these guys, lest I look angry. Dick laughed, "You think the same way, don't you?" An honest person like you who doesn't go out to find a woman also hopes that these players can control their little brother a little more, right? ”

"Hmm...... You have a point...... "Marriner admitted, and then both of them laughed wickedly at the same time, looking at the players who were still in the dark......
