'I just want to play for a team that can keep improving.'

Dai Zhiwei's words ignited his transfer turmoil to a high tide, and almost everyone who has followed the recent seasons can easily hear his transfer desire from his words.

Obviously, the small team Villarreal does not fit what Dai Zhiwei called "a team that can keep improving".

So, which team does he want to join?

Unlike other stars, his liquidated damages are only 110 million euros, which is simply a cabbage price compared to a star of his level, and the major giants can directly activate his liquidated damages clause without negotiating with Villarreal.

Therefore, which club Dai Zhiwei wants to go to has become the key to the key, and the initiative is completely controlled by him.

But no matter how suspicious the outside world is, Dai Zhiwei is silent this time, allowing the outside world to surge.

All the European football media believe that Dai Zhiwei will definitely leave his current club with a liquidated fee of only 110 million euros, and Dai Zhiwei's next home is likely to be a Premier League team.

According to The Sun's Rob Beasley, Dai Zhiwei could have to put pressure on Villarreal and Escriva if he wants to move to financially strapped Arsenal.

But Dai Zhiwei himself is silent, and has stated through Mendes on his transfer issue that he will not have too many negotiations with Villarreal.

Major media in Spain reported that Dai Zhiwei wanted to transfer to Real Madrid, and also informed Villarreal FC.

According to the newspaper As, Zidane has had several exchanges with Dai Zhiwei's agent, Mendes.

It seems that the transfer farce between Dai Zhiwei and Real Madrid continues to heat up.

However, just when the outside world seemed to Dai Zhiwei and Real Madrid were about to fall in love, the Golden Yuan troops Manchester City suddenly entered Dai Zhiwei's transfer.

The Telegraph claims that Manchester City are likely to ruin Real Madrid's dreams, and with two weeks to go before the summer transfer window opens, the Manchester City hierarchy suddenly contacted Villarreal privately to bring Dai Zhiwei to Manchester.

In the Champions League quarter-finals between Villarreal and Manchester City last season, Dai Zhiwei's stunning performance of two hat-tricks against Manchester City left a deep impression on the Abu Dhabi consortium.

With a series of phone calls from the Manchester City hierarchy to Villarreal and at least one face-to-face meeting, the City hierarchy really wanted to make the deal happen.

Manchester City said in the talks that they could bid 110 million euros for Dai Zhiwei and give Dai Zhiwei a signing fee of more than 10 million euros, hoping that the Villarreal management could persuade Dai Zhiwei to give up the idea of joining Real Madrid.

Manchester City believes that if Dai Zhiwei can be introduced, Manchester City will truly become the focus of world football.

However, Manchester City's confidence is not very high, because Aguero is still in Pep Guardiola's plan next season, and Dai Zhiwei has repeatedly stated that he does not like a new team, so he will compete with the team's number one star for a position.

However, City are determined to make a last-ditch effort.

And among the big teams, the first to go out is Paris Saint-Germain.

Dai Zhiwei has clearly rejected the offer of Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain through Mendes, saying that the teams he would most like to join are those with historical glory.

Manchester City's sworn rivals began to contact Dai Zhiwei last summer, and their sincerity is obviously more than Manchester City, and the time lag puts Manchester City at a disadvantage in the battle for Dai Zhiwei.

After Ibrahimovic was injured last season, Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has already publicly stated that "who doesn't want to have a talent like Dai Zhiwei, who is the best player in the world, even one of the best people in the history of world football." ”

And just before Dai Zhiwei was ready to return to China, Manchester United CEO Woodward rushed to Villarreal City to visit Dai Zhiwei who was packing his luggage.

Due to effective secrecy measures, this news was not noticed by any media at the time, and it was not until Dai Zhiwei boarded the plane to sign Spain's "Le Monde Sports" that this clue was finally unearthed.

Woodward's landing on Villarreal was unanimously considered to be Manchester United's move to bring in Dai Zhiwei.

However, whether it is Manchester City, Real Madrid, Manchester United, or Paris Saint-Germain, which has been rejected, these four clubs have directly invested 110 million euros in liquidated damages for Dai Zhiwei's transfer, which is a price that most other non-giant clubs cannot afford at all.

For the vast majority of teams, Dai Zhiwei is a "luxury" that can only be seen from a distance and cannot be owned.

Just when Real Madrid, Manchester City and Manchester United were in full swing in the fierce battle for Dai Zhiwei, a piece of news completely burned the fire to the climax.

According to the Mirror, Dai Zhiwei today commissioned Mendes to find a villa in Manchester.

Mendes was looking for a luxury home in Manchester worth around £2 million.

In addition to the usual amenities, the mansion has five double bedrooms, a cinema room, a sun terrace, a piano room with a bar, and a three-car garage with a gym.

On the first floor there are three double bedrooms including master bedroom ensuite, wardrobes, en-suite and steam room, while a further two bedrooms and a cinema room are located on the second floor. The mansion also comes with a sizable garden and this garden also has a football goal.

And, Dai Zhiwei, who has suffered from the travel of the national team, is only 1.1 miles from Manchester Airport.

A real estate agent invited by The Mirror said: "This is a completely modern mansion and buyers can even add another floor. After the expansion, it will also have two more bedrooms and one bathroom. ”

And the news that Dai Zhiwei chose a residence in Manchester is undoubtedly a confirmation that he will transfer to the Manchester duo.

Villarreal coach Escriva said in an interview: "The only thing I can say about this story is that I won't talk about it anymore because there are enough rumors. There are all sorts of different versions of the story, some of which are not true, and are all made up by some uninformed people. ”

"All I can tell you is that I've said everything I need to say about his transfer rumors, and I don't want to say anything more now."

But Escriva also admitted that he did not expect Dai to be in Villarreal's new season.

'It doesn't affect the team's tactics or form and we will continue to prepare for the game. This summer, there will be players coming in and players leaving. ”

For a star of Dai Zhiwei's level, everyone knows that even if it is determined that he will leave the team in the form of liquidated damages, it will not be able to determine the next home in a short time, after all, the negotiation of contracts, various treatments, etc. after joining the new team will be a long-term process.

Prior to this, Dai Zhiwei, who is the center of the transfer vortex, had left Spain and returned to China to prepare for the 8th round of the Asian round of the World Preliminary Tournament against Syria.

In this round of 12, everyone thought that Iran, South Korea or Uzbekistan would be the bitter masters of the Chinese team.

As a result, under the leadership of Dai Zhiwei, the Chinese team faced the Iranian team and the South Korean team with a wonderful ending of one win and one draw, and the Inns Uzbekistan team also won a draw, but the result was the weakest Syrian team in the group, and lost at home - it was also the only defeat of the Chinese team in the top 12.

Before this round of matches, the Chinese team had 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss with 12 points, only behind the Iranian team in the second place in the group, but only 1 point ahead of the South Korean team in the third place in the group, so this game against Syria cannot afford to lose.

Syria will also be hoping to go all out to win this game and close the gap on fourth-placed Uzbekistan. Therefore, this game cannot be lost for both teams, and it can be called a battle of life and death for both teams!

In the previously announced squad, 15 Syrian players are currently playing in other leagues, and most of the West Asian countries such as Iraq, Jordan, Qatar, etc., the team's captain Saleh plays for Henan Jianye and has not played much this season.

On the other hand, the Chinese team, since Lippi entered the national team, has been using Evergrande players as the team to transform the team, although Zheng Zhi and other generals are absent from this game, but there are still 6 Evergrande players selected, and in the previous warm-up match against the Philippines, the Chinese team without Dai Zhiwei was still able to win with a score of 8:1, which reflects the gradual improvement of the lineup, and the players have a deeper understanding of Lippi's tactical arrangement. I believe that the Chinese soldiers can come up with 100% tacit understanding to fight the opponent!

Due to the instability of the domestic situation, the Syrian team's home location for the top 12 is also twists and turns, before the game started, Iran's Tehran, Macau and other places have been identified as the home of the Syrian team, but to the day when the game is about to start, the AFC made a determination: the Syrian team's home stadium is in Seremban, Malaysia.

Therefore, Syria's home matches against South Korea and Iran were all held at the Prince Abdul Rahman Stadium in Seremban. However, due to the very poor conditions of the venue, after two games, the team's home stadium was moved to the Hon Jabal Stadium in Malacca.

Due to the impact of Ramadan, the kick-off time of this game is 21:45, although there is no time difference between Malaysian local time and Beijing time, but in the kick-off time is so late, many Chinese internationals, including Dai Zhiwei, are still encountered.

The Chinese team's starting situation, due to the impact of injury or suspension, Lippi made 4 changes to the starting line compared with the previous round, and Deng Hanwen and Yu Hanchao, who performed well in the warm-up game, entered the starting lineup. In addition, due to Zheng Zhi's absence, Feng Xiaoting wore the captain's armband.

When the two pairs lined up before the start of the game, the goalkeeper of the Syrian team, Al Ma, looked at Dai Zhiwei vigilantly, and said provocatively in English: "Hey, boy, I know you are the Champions League and La Liga Golden Boot this season, but I want to tell you, you don't want to score a goal from me!" You know? ”

Dai Zhiwei was amused by Alema at that time, and said with a smile: "Who are you?" ”

Alma stared at his big eyes, thinking that Dai Zhiwei really didn't know his name, so he was ready to report his name.

But Dai Zhiwei had already blocked him in advance: "You don't have to say it, I'm not interested in knowing the name of a player of your level." ”

Before Alema could continue to speak, the referee had already called the players of both teams to the field, and he had no chance to speak harshly.

After the start of the game, both teams directly opened the posture and started to attack without temptation.

In the 9th minute, the Chinese team's front court pressed and caused the opponent's defender to make a mistake, Dai Zhiwei got the ball outside the penalty area and shot angrily, and the ball was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper Alema!

"Look! Look! Alema yelled at Dai Zhiwei not far away: "I said you can't score a goal, you just can't score!" ”

"Huh? Is this a stumbling start? Dai Zhiwei was also a little annoyed and ready to exert his strength.

It's a pity that with Dai Zhiwei's efforts, the Chinese team's offense has just improved, but they have to face the situation of a fire in the backyard.

In the 10th minute, Syria instigated an offensive, and Maswas's very slight physical contact with Zeng Cheng in the penalty area fell to the ground, and the referee awarded a penalty, and Zeng Cheng also received a yellow card.

Maswass then converted the ball in, but the referee signalled for the attacking player to enter the box early and the penalty needed to be re-penalized.

Maswas's second penalty still calmly put the ball in, Zeng Cheng judged the right direction but the save was fruitless, and the Chinese team fell behind 0:1!

"It's going to be a shame!" Dai Zhiwei helplessly shook his hand, his absence in the last game led to the Chinese team losing to the Syrian team in Xi'an, this time he started the game, and the head coach was replaced by Lippi, if he loses again, it will be impossible to say.

"Pick yourself up and score first! A goal in the first half! Before preparing for kick-off, Dai Zhiwei kept lifting his air to his teammates on the field.

After the restart, he knocked the ball directly back to the backcourt, and the defenders of the Chinese team patiently passed each other backwards, waiting for the arrival of the instant fighter.

And Syria's Youssef followed Dai Zhiwei step by step, like a shadow.

Dai Zhiwei didn't have any special reaction, after all, he has been accustomed to the opponent's close defense this season, and compared with Manchester City's Fernandinho, Juventus's Khedira, Real Madrid's Casemiro and other stars, which onion can Youssef count?

Huang Bowen took the ball, quickly shook one of the opponent's midfielders, and quickly dribbled the ball down the left sideline, Muhammad blocked Huang Bowen's offensive line, so that he had to stop.

Huang Bowen was not stupid enough to force a breakthrough, made a quick cross with his left foot, distributed the ball to Zhang Xizhe in the middle, and then accelerated past Muhammad himself and continued to advance along the sideline.
