3.037 A harbinger of a breakup
Li Chengfeng is starting to miss his previous manager, Gary Cook, who is always able to meet Li Chengfeng's various requirements, and even do better. It's just that the matter has come to this point, and Li Chengfeng can't change it, so he can only try his best to make up for it.
In the centre-back positions, Kompany, Godin, Lescott and Boateng are barely enough to allow Yaya Toure to drop back if necessary. Of course, there is another best, and this position was originally Silva's. It's just that De Jong Bidalyaya's three-beast waist strangulation tactics at a very moment last season can't be used, and Rodwell is not qualified. There are only three men in the forward line, which is also a little less, and another one is needed.
But there is not much time left in the transfer period, and those big fish have long been famous, so there is no suitable target. It's a pity that Fan Persie wants to scold when he thinks about it. Now there is only one way, to recall Neymar in Brazil, and the problem in the front court can be solved.
However, Neymar once again rejected Li's call, feeling that he was not mature enough and wanted to stay in Brazil for another year and return to Europe next year.
There is no way, the time is too short, Li Chengfeng looked at the list of transfer intentions provided by Bedgestein again, and wanted to crumple it up and throw it in the trash. What Portuguese midfielder Xavi Garcia, a third-rate player only. 19-year-old Serbian defender Nastasic, Li Chengfeng wants both combat power, not to mention that he can't meet Li Chengfeng's requirements if he fulfills his full potential. Sinclair, England's Olympic team, can only be a national Olympic player at the age of 23, and it can't be said that he is a third-rate product. McCone is a star, but his form has deteriorated since winning the treble, do Manchester City want him to retire?
None of the targets provided by Beckestan could be seen, and Li Chengfeng could only figure out a way by himself. There is not so much urgency in the backline, although Kolo Toure is not in Li Chengfeng's future plans, he can still use it if necessary, not to mention Yaya Toure can also be topped. Li Chengfeng felt a little lucky, fortunately because of Yaya Toure, he didn't choose to send his brother Kolo away, otherwise there would be trouble on the defensive line.
In the midfielder position, Li Chengfeng contacted Las Diarra, who had an unhappy time at Real Madrid and was about to leave, and his contract only had one year left, and it didn't take much to get him. Although he has some personality problems, the two have also worked together for a few years, and Li Chengfeng thinks he can still communicate.
However, Li Chengfeng didn't expect that after a few years of not seeing him, Diarra became more persistent, and he clearly asked for the position of the main force, which Li Chengfeng could not agree, so he refused Li Chengfeng's invitation.
Forget it, let him go, there are Vidal and Toure, and the position of the midfield is barely enough, and it is a big deal to use the combination of Klos, Modric and Vidal or Toure more to reduce the consumption of the defensive midfield position. Although this kind of control style of play is easy to miss when playing against a weak team, it is still useful to play a strong dialogue like the Champions Cup. As for the weak team, Rodwell can still use it.
The problem in midfield can be settled for the time being, but the problem of the forward line must be solved. There were only 3 strikers, but Aguero was injured in the first round of the league, so that Li Chengfeng could only use only two, if you want to play double strikers without even a substitute, you must hurry up, immediately, immediately, introduce a striker.
In the position of the striker, Li Chengfeng has his eye on three people, Falcao, Hulk and Cavani. All three are worth about the same amount, around 5ooo million euros. However, Hulk prefers to play on the flanks rather than as a positive striker. And Falcao, his age has always been in doubt. In contrast, the younger Cavani is more of a strengthened version of Dzeko, the type that City are missing and can bring some tactical changes. More crucially, Cavani's contract has a liquidated damages clause to avoid tedious negotiations, and with the transfer window not long before it closes, City have no time to bargain.
The exchange with Cavani was pleasant, and he also flew to Manchester to visit Manchester City's base and have a cordial conversation with Li Chengfeng. Although Li Chengfeng showed that the main position needs to be competed, but also analyzed the team's playing style and staffing, and his chances to play will not be less. Edinson Cavani also agrees with Manchester City's great prospects and is looking forward to achieving glory with them.
A better team, higher income, more accolades, no matter how you look at Cavani, it should be in Manchester City's bag. But there was an accident, he renewed his contract with Napoli, the time was the last day of the transfer window, and there was no time for Li Chengfeng to change his target, which made him really want to curse. Especially when Van Persie scored four goals in the first three rounds, he slapped the table, but it didn't help.
There is no way but this. This is the worst transfer window Li Chengfeng has experienced since his coaching career, and he doesn't want another one.
However, there is a reason for all this, the "Sun" broke the exciting news, the reason why Manchester City did nothing this summer is because Soriano has put all his energy on Pep Guardiola, he is desperate to convince Pep Guardiola, who has just left Barcelona, to coach Manchester City, so he does not want to buy players that Guardiola may not use. However, Pep Guardiola categorically refused to come to Manchester City to coach, and they had to renew Li Chengfeng's contract. However, precious time has been delayed, and it was not until the last moment that they hurriedly found some third-rate players to fill up.
Li Chengfeng believes that this is true, Soriano was originally born in Barcelona and has worked with Guardiola for many years, and it is normal to want to find him to coach, but Li Chengfeng still feels insulted. I am also one of the best coaches in the world, do you even want to be the choice of spare tire?
It was a big deal, and the team was inevitably affected, drawing two of the first four rounds of the league and losing to Manchester United and Chelsea in the standings.
In the end, Mubarak personally came out to express his belief in Li Chengfeng and that Li Chengfeng was the best coach in the world. Li Chengfeng also said that he is enjoying his work at Manchester City, and he still has a three-year contract with Manchester City. But Li Chengfeng knew that the end of this contract was the time for him to leave, and he was going to a place where he could completely call the shots.
There have been too many things to worry about recently, and even Wen Shuting, who has always gotten along well, has become emotional. Li Chengfeng didn't know what was going on, the two of them only confirmed each other's minds a few months ago, and they got along very well during this time.
Things changed a little after she came back from China. There were too many things to deal with this summer, Li Chengfeng did not act with Wen Shuting, he stayed in Europe to deal with the transfer work of several clubs, and Wen Shuting went to China to deal with the affairs of Chinese football schools, some cooperation matters, and finally visited Li Chengfeng's parents.
Her emotional changes should have been after going to Li Chengfeng's house, she was in a good mood when the two talked on the phone before, and she was looking forward to the two of them getting married. However, when they met again later, Li Chengfeng obviously felt her depressed mood, although she was very happy when she was with Li Chengfeng, but her occasional temper and frequent stupidity showed that she must have some knots.
Wen Shuting was reluctant to explain, Li Chengfeng asked his parents, but he still couldn't find the reason. According to his parents' description, when Wen Shuting went to his house that day, it was normal. When they hoped that the two would get married soon, Wen Shuting was still very happy.
"You are not young anymore, get married early, have children early, no matter how old you are, it will be difficult to have children."
In the face of his parents' expectations, Li Chengfeng has no choice, he can't give birth alone. But when he asked, Wen Shuting didn't respond positively. The two of them are quite strange now, although they are together, Wen Shuting doesn't seem to have any plans to get married. I can't say I don't want to, she seems to be afraid of something. Is it a phobia of marriage? But Wen Shuting was unwilling to cooperate with him, and there was no way to do it, so he could only do it first.
It's really not going well, Li Chengfeng angrily focused on work. The next opponent is Li Chengfeng's old acquaintance, Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid. Mourinho entered Real Madrid strongly, but his style did not match the previous Real Madrid, the two sides were in a fierce run-in, one loss and one draw in the first few rounds of the league, and the results were not much better, and they were left behind by Barcelona early. Fortunately, his reputation as the savior of Real Madrid did not attract much opposition, but he also needed a win to turn the team's decline.
It's a game that neither side can afford to lose, not just because of the recent poor form of both teams, but also because it's about qualifying from the group. This season, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Ajax have been placed in a veritable group of death, and the outcome of each game could determine the final qualifying place.
Real Madrid started the game with the power of the home team, and just 9o seconds into the game, Ronaldo received a pass from Essien on the left side in front of the penalty area, and fired a left-footed shot wide in front of the penalty area. In the 3rd minute, Ronaldo received a pass from Pepe, and fired a right-footed volley diagonally to 45 degrees in front of the big penalty area, and the high-flying ball slid past the goal. In the 8th minute, Higuain stuffed the ball to Ronaldo on the left wing in the counterattack, and the Portuguese got the ball and dribbled past Kompany, who grabbed it, and his right-footed shot from the left rib of the penalty area was touched by Neuer and bounced off the bottom line.
In the 11th minute, Ronaldo received Di Maria's cross on the left side of the front field, and shot with his right foot on the left rib of the penalty area after passing Zabaleta, and when the ball flew to the goal, Higuain's header changed the line, but Neuer, who blocked the near corner, miraculously saved the ball, which made Li Chengfeng break out in a cold sweat.
Real Madrid's offensive at home is unusually ferocious, and Manchester City, which is in poor condition and is deeply troubled by the message, can't even find a chance to counterattack, if it weren't for Neuer's bravery, I'm afraid that Manchester City will be slaughtered by Real Madrid.
