The 4231 is the formation with the highest adjustable range.

The adjustability in this does not mean just changing formations, but the ability to adjust each position without destroying the tactical system. In La Liga, this formation, which has gradually become the mainstream, is now even more rotten, which is not without Linsen's push, because last season, almost the entire La Liga suffered from Guardiola's loss, only Linsen's Malaga used this formation to take some advantage, of course, this formation was not invented by Linsen, but it is undeniable that this formation does have a certain restraint on the team with a ball-controlled style of play.

Linsen has never hidden his preference for this formation, so as soon as he came to Manchester City, he set this formation as the main formation of Manchester City in the new season, and then formulated a recruitment plan and training plan through this formation. However, obviously, Manchester City and Malaga, Linson's positioning for each position cannot be the same, because Malaga's tone is defensive, while Manchester City's tone is attack.

However, in the past few days, in addition to physical training, Lin Sen has practiced the most on defense. This is not that Lin Sen is poor and complaining, and he has to use aircraft cannons to do the work of millet rifles, but the current Manchester City, the defensive staff is far more neat than the offensive personnel, and with Vidal obtaining a labor certificate to join the team, the main defensive system of Manchester City in the new season has basically been in place.

Frenkie de Jong and Vidal partnered in midfield, with Bridge, Dunn, Kompany and Zabaleta lined up at the back, and this will be the starting midfield that City fans will often see in the opening stages of the new season. The set-up of the two full-backs will be one of the main differences between Manchester City and Malaga's tactical changes.

In Málaga, Linsen's requirement for the two full-backs is to defend first, and not to leave the defensive position, for this requirement, last season Málaga did better on the right than on the left, and the right side of Málaga's captain Gámez was almost the safest link, while the left side was a little less effective. Because neither Alba nor Rosato are the kind of full-backs who can defend themselves. In response to this, Lin Sen took two remedial measures, one was Gabi's fill-in, which required sacrificing the defense in the middle at a certain distance. And the other is to simply let the two full-backs play together, so that no matter what, there will be a full-back in the back, so that the full-back will not be bare-knuckled in the back as soon as he assists.

At Manchester City, defending will continue to be the main task for both full-backs. But attacking is no longer just an option, the two full-backs inserting assists will become a regular means of attack for Manchester City, the stadium is so big, which will of course increase the requirements for full-backs, but Linson is not worried about the full-backs not being able to do it at all, responsibility is directly proportional to ability, and ability is proportional to salary.

Can't do it? It's simple, just do what you can do. This is the giants.

Today, Lin Sen also organized an intra-team training match. It was an unofficial warm-up match, and the only difference between the two sides was that the one team that symbolized the main force had one less person than the other. Such an unfair training match. But there is a fair way to punish: the losing side must treat the loser to dinner.

Lin Sen's move was intended to increase the defensive pressure on the main side, but the final result made him almost unable to step down.

The substitute side ended up winning the game 3-1. But it was a player who ordered Lin Sen to evict him early: Ruo.

The relationship between the two clubs also went into a low ebb after negotiations between Manchester City and Everton over Lescott broke down in an unpleasant way. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Ruo, who wants to go to Everton, Manchester City has clearly refused to loan Ruo to Everton, and Everton, who is bent on taking advantage, is unwilling to buy Ruo, so the mood of Ruo caught in the middle can be imagined.

Ruo, who accidentally scored a hat-trick, was expressionless after the goal, and even a simple celebration was not served, although it was only a training match, but such behavior has clearly told everyone: I am very unhappy.

Lin Sen, who personally served as the referee, hated the main side in his heart, and could only smile bitterly, but fortunately, at this time, Marwood relieved him-

After breaking away from the endless rivalry with David Moyes, Marwood's next target is Spain, where City have another target in addition to Gary Cook's Arjen Robben and David Silva, Athletic Bilbao midfielder Javi Martinez.

Since Manchester City's offer to Xavi Martinez was rejected, Manchester City quickly made further offers, the latest offer is 12 million pounds, for a young player under the age of 21, this offer is not insincere, but this offer still has not been agreed by Athletic Bilbao, not only did not agree, the other party did not even make a counteroffer, the answer is still the cold NO, at this time Marwood finally felt that something was wrong.

There is a lot of money and a lot of trouble, especially when others know that you have money, whether it is the transfer of Lescott or the transfer of Vidal, they all sue Marwood, sometimes the more money, the harder it is for people to buy. But at the very least, the other side gave the price of these two transfers, not like Bilbao, who was unwilling to even talk.

Just when Mawood was puzzled, Bilbao's president Makua's speech gave him the answer, and in an interview with Marca, Makua publicly stated: Yes, Manchester City are interested in Xavi Martinez, but Xavi is not for sale, we have no intention of selling him, and, even if we do, we will never sell to that person.

After hearing Makuya's remarks, Mawood was stunned for a moment, and he didn't realize who the person in Makuya's mouth was, but immediately, he understood: There is no doubt that this person can only be Lin Sen.

When Linson was in Malaga, he was banned once, the main charge of which was provoking Bilbao fans. Marwood doesn't know if Linson has forgotten about the unpleasant incident, but it's clear that Bilbao hasn't forgotten about it, and backbone clubs tend to hold grudges and will always remember. Thinking of this, Marwood shook his head with a wry smile, and finally understood why Lin Sen's budget for this transfer would be as high as 17 million.

However, a plan is a plan because if there is no force majeure, he has to do it.

Bilbao's opinion on Linson is clearly not force majeure. Therefore, Marwood raised the offer directly to 16 million this time, which is close to the minimum release fee clause of 17 million that Javi Martinez himself admitted to depositing.

It is worth mentioning that although Bilbao is still entangled in the grudge with Linsen, Javi Martinez, who did not play in the game that caused the dispute, did not express a clear refusal to join Manchester City, and the young man has repeatedly said that he will respect the club's decision and will not contact Manchester City privately.

As everyone knows. La Liga players have a minimum release clause in their contracts, so if Manchester City's offer reaches the minimum release fee, there will naturally be no private contact between Xavi Martinez and Manchester City.

However, having said that, in the end, Marwood still didn't want to activate the minimum termination clause, not because he wanted to save the million. It's because in that case, if the transaction is not benevolent, it will become a business without friendship, and the transaction is still reasonable, but it is no longer reasonable. Pity. Marwood still underestimated the backbone of the Basques.

The answer is still NO.

The third NO.

And then, and then Marwood came to Linson—

Marwood again offered to change targets because he felt it was for the sake of a young player. There is really no need to tear up with Bilbao. And the replacement he proposed was Barry.

Lin Sen scratched his head a little about Marwood's thoughts. Because he had to refuse Marwood's mention again.

Javi Martinez is definitely going to be won, because this is a player with potential and ability to perfectly match his position as a midfielder, and if he doesn't win this year, his release fee will be 40 million next year. However, Linson also did not want to argue that he wanted to bring in Xavi Martinez purely out of tactical requirements. Since that game last season, not to mention just poaching someone, if given the chance, Linson would definitely not mind falling into the trap against Bilbao.

After Lin Sen euphemistically expressed his insistence, Marwood could only sigh, after all, Lin Sen is the head coach, and the transfer plan is also agreed to by himself, at this time Lin Sen's insistence is not inappropriate, this matter can only be like this. Immediately afterward, Marwood said another thing, about the other two goals in the plan: Di Maria and David Luiz.

Portugal's Benfica club has responded to Manchester City's inquiry: the two of them packed 50 million euros, of which Di Maria is worth 30 million and David Luiz is worth 20 million.

The typical European black shop lion has a wide opening.

Di Maria transferred to Benfica from Rosario Central in Argentina in the summer of 07, when Benfica paid him 6 million to acquire 80% of the ownership, last year Di Maria performed well in the Beijing Olympics, and Benfica paid 2 million for his other 20% ownership, that is, he was worth 10 million last summer, and now it is only a season, 30 million?

And the price of David Luiz is even more outrageous, because the price of Benfica's Brazilian defender who bought out the team's loan two years ago is only 500,000, and compared to Di Maria, David Luiz's table last season was actually not outstanding, due to the injury of Benfica's left-back Ribeiro, David Luiz, who replaced Ribeiro's position, played as a left wing-back for almost a season. That's it, Benfica wants 20 million?

It's not clear where Benfica got their confidence, but Linson doesn't think their manager Rui Costa really has the same eye as his footballing talent.

However, this is not a problem because the price is negotiable, anyway, Marwood is now used to the other side sitting on the ground, and there is a question that is more troublesome regarding the transfer of these two players.

That is the labor certification of the Premier League, which is known for its talent pitting. (To be continued......)
