Chapter 13: ABC
Eleven goals in twenty-two games.
Exactly one goal per two games, which is not a bad result in any case, and the former Manchester City number one star who was "banished" to Santos, Brazil, has maintained his good form, which also gave him a plane ticket to the World Cup in South Africa.
Although he failed to score a goal in the group stage as a regular striker, he scored in two consecutive games after reaching the knockout rounds, one to secure a place in the quarter-finals and the other to open the scoring, although Brazil lost to the Netherlands.
But in any case, Robinho proved himself through the World Cup.
It's good for Robinho and it's good for City.
Table xiàn is not the reason why Linsen gave up on Robinho, and naturally it is unlikely to be the reason for Robinho to stay, but it is a good catalyst for clubs interested in him. Moreover, the effect is obvious.
On July 4, AC Milan's general manager Galliani appeared in Manchester, and Galliani's appearance was widely interpreted by the English media as a substantial step forward for AC Milan in the transfer of Robinho. But in fact, when Galliani was photographed in the media, Manchester City had just made an offer to Barcelona.
Robinho, swap Yaya Toure.
In Lin Sen's memory, such an exchange was tantamount to robbery. But at this time, this exchange is possible.
Barcelona didn't choose to refuse in the first place, and while it's not certain that they were really considering the feasibility of the swap, it was clear that after Manchester City turned their attention to Mascherano, they were finally no longer so "arrogant" -
Lin Sen put down the phone.
It was Marwood who had just finished talking to him on the phone.
Content, in addition to some transfers, there is also the arrangement of summer warm-up matches.
Since it has been confirmed that he will go to the United States to train, the opponent who warms up is also clear. Last year's World Football Challenge was suspended this year due to the impact of the World Cup, but this did not prevent several giants from using each other as training targets for the United States this summer. Manchester City have confirmed to play five warm-up games in the United States, against two local American teams, Portland Timber and the New York Red Bulls, who have just signed Thierry Henry, as well as AC Milan, Sporting Lisbon and Real Madrid.
Manchester City will depart for the United States in mid-July, and the first stop is Portland, Oregon, of course, also because of the impact of the World Cup, Manchester City at that time is destined to be a remnant.
The transfer work, compared to last year, Manchester City's moves this summer seem unhurried. On the one hand, this is because there is more cleaning work than introduction this summer, and the cleaning is destined to follow the rhythm of others, in addition, and because this summer's recruitment work is more just a targeted supplement, it is good to be able to determine it as soon as possible so that new players have more time to run in with the team, but obviously this is not the goal.
Although Manchester City's transfer budget for the new season is still over 100 million, according to Linson's idea, Yaya Toure and Mascherano will get one of the two, and then keep David Silva. Ninety points can be played in the summer transfer work. The reason why it is not a perfect score is because Yaya Toure and Mascherano are actually a perfect match, if the two win together......
All right. Seems to be thinking too much.
Lin Sen turned his gaze to Tang Hua, who was burying himself in the ocean of numbers, and at this time, his living room, which was not small, had become a sea of materials.
After Tang Hua returned to Manchester, his love was not very good, and Lin Sen didn't have to think about it to know the reason.
Cinderella didn't go as planned. Returning to Europe with Tang Hua, she was half a month ahead of Tang Hua, but this was not her decision. It was Tang Hua's decision.
Lin Sen thought that he could understand why Tang Hua did this, and naturally Cinderella also knew very well that letting her return to Europe ahead of schedule was not a "rush", but she didn't want her to continue to be wronged. Cinderella stayed at Tang Hua's house for half a month, Tang Hua thought that time could ease the relationship between the two parties, but in fact, the situation was getting worse and worse. Not to mention the personality, the difference in lifestyle between China and the West is not something that the feudal Tang Hua's parents can accept. A simple and ordinary example, Cinderella, who is not used to drinking porridge and chopsticks, is only different in food, in the eyes of Tang's mother, it is linked to squeamishness.
Tang Hua's parents frowned, Cinderella was also very aggrieved, knowing that if it went on like this, it could only be Tang Hua, who was tired of seeing each other, and had no choice but to let Cinderella go back to Europe in advance, and when she was leaving, Cinderella always wanted Tang Hua to go back to Europe with her, but Tang Hua did not agree.
As a result, Cinderella has never taken the initiative to contact Tang Hua again.
It is normal for couples to be angry with each other, especially women. But this matter obviously can't be understood in this way, as an outsider, Lin Sen has the heart to help, but he can't do it, after thinking about it, he still called Boya, and asked her to test Cinderella's true thoughts, and Boya, who got what Sinderella encountered in China, didn't want to help, but she also knew that it was not a way to go on like this, so she finally nodded.
Lin Sen didn't tell Tang Hua about this for the time being, because he didn't know what Cinderella was thinking. But Tang Hua, who returned to Manchester, apparently turned this love into motivation for work.
In order to facilitate the consultation of Lin Sen with some relevant information, Tang Hua even simply moved the "studio" to Lin Sen's apartment, so it became what it is now.
As the team's technical coach and match analyst, Tang Hua's "number jù library" is not once and for all, it also needs to be updated, and the "update package" is mainly last season's number jù, the change of the team's head coach, the change of style, the change of players, and of course, the new "expansion film" of the three promoted horses.
Lin Sen picked up a document casually and saw that it happened to be one of the three promoted horses this season, Newcastle.
The three promoted teams in the new season, Newcastle, West Bromwich Albion and Blackpool, are undoubtedly the most famous compared to Blackpool, who knocked out the famous Nottingham Forest and Cardiff City in the play-offs and returned to the top flight after 39 years.
A year ago, the Magpies suffered relegation after losing to Villa Park in the final round of the league. In less than a year, the Magpies were reborn and announced their return to the Premier League in the Championship five games early last season. It's just that the Magpies who returned to the Premier League are no longer the familiar Magpies, after last year's relegation, Viduka, Owen, Martins, Duff and other famous stars have left, but although there are many card stars, under the leadership of head coach Chris Hughton, this return to the simple Newcastle broke out with energy that they did not have before, and finally returned to the Premier League with one hundred and two points.
Lin Sen just glanced at the brief comments on the first few pages of the information, Tang Hua gave a B evaluation of Newcastle's midfield, and the back line and forward line gave a B- evaluation, Lin Sen does not have the impression of Newcastle's final ranking next season in his memory, but according to Tang Hua's evaluation, Newcastle's ranking in the new season should be in the middle of the bottom.
Giving a similar rating to a team's third line is a habit that Tang Hua learned from Dina. Although football has always been "round" to illustrate its unpredictability, for Tang Hua, who has already regarded football matches as a proposition, he did not give many specific points, but just gave a simple rating is already a step back choice.
Of course, Tang Hua is not as specific as Dina, who wants to subdivide into nine standards, he only has five standards, SABCD, and each standard is divided into grades. In terms of the team's ranking in the league, S level means championship level, A level means European qualification level, and B is level, as for D, you have to consider fighting for relegation.
For example, Manchester City, the third line has obtained the standard of A+, S-, A. Judging from this standard, Manchester City's treble last season really had a lot of luck, but Lin Sen didn't know that in Tang Hua's mind, there was actually another character who also had such an evaluation.
That's the manager.
Ferguson, Carlo Ancelotti, Wenger, all three of them are at the level of S, that is, these three people are all championship-level coaches. Interestingly, these three head coaches who did not have an advantage in the duel with Lin Sen last season can be so respected by Tang Hua, but Benitez, who made Lin Sen suffer a little last season, only got an A+ evaluation from Tang Hua.
As for why, this is the same as what level Lin Sen is at, so I can only ask Tang Hua.
Linson looked at Newcastle's squad analysis again, and as expected, most of the names Linsen was not familiar with, but there were still some names that were not unfamiliar, such as goalkeeper Harper, defender Coloccini, midfielder Barton, Alan Smith and striker Ameobi......
Below each name, in addition to the detailed numbers jù, there are also many number symbols that Lin Sen himself can't understand, for these symbols, Lin Sen once consulted Tang Hua, but as soon as the other party said a bunch of various professional terms, Lin Sen knew that asking was also a vain question.
The technical coach really played technical work.
In the past season, Manchester City's main opponent for the title was Chelsea, but in the following season, Chelsea was not Manchester City's only opponent, because although Linson did not know what Chelsea's ranking was this season, he knew that Ancelotti's second season in charge of Chelsea was also Ancelotti's last season at Chelsea.
Manchester United's restoration is the only impression of this season in Linsen's memory, so, like last season's blocking of Ancelotti, Linsen's Manchester City in the new season, in addition to striving for a breakthrough in the Champions League, in the league, Linsen, who aims to defend the title, will inevitably have to block the only Scottish old man who invited him to drink after the game last season.
In Tang Hua's mind, Ferguson's evaluation is the supreme S+. (To be continued......)
