Marwood didn't know about Azpilicueta, which was not a little surprising to Linson, but a surprise.

Azpilicueta, who is not yet twenty years old, is still playing for Osasuna in La Liga, and Linson actually played his idea before signing Alba last season, but he had to give up due to the transfer budget, compared with Alba, Azpilicueta became famous earlier, and he is about the same age as Alba, but in the past two seasons, he is Osasuna's main right wing-back, and if Alba is not Linsen, it is still inevitable that he will be loaned to the second division team by Valencia last season to continue training.

Coincidentally, although the starting point is different, the road to prosperity of the two was realized in the same year. Alba gradually became a main player after being recalled by Valencia, and then won the favor of Barcelona as the main left-back of the La Liga giants, while Azpilicueta played for Marseille in Ligue 1 in the middle of the way, but also landed at Premier League giants Chelsea in the same year.

It stands to reason that Linson seems to prefer to choose Alba, because Alba is not only his old department, but also more familiar with the left side than Azpilicueta, but in the end Linsen chose Azlipiqueta, which naturally has an agreement with Livermore, but the bigger reason is that compared to Alba, who only played in La Liga, Azpilicueta showed his adaptability, especially to the Premier League.

And adaptability, unlike the transfer budget forced in Malaga, has become one of the most important criteria for Linson to choose a target now.

"You must not have played FM, Brian." Lin Sen didn't answer Marwood's words right away, but made a joke. "Azpilicueta isn't a real face in there."

“FM？ You're talking about that football manager game from SI? Marwood was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. No, I never play computer games. ”

Don't play though. But Marwood was clearly aware of the famous game, as SI was a British company.

"If you have time, you might as well play it, although it's just a game, the number of players in it is real, and it's very referential."

"Yes." Marwood said noncommittally, obviously not taking Lin Sen's construction too seriously.

In this regard, Lin Sen shook his head in his heart, there has always been a gap between professional and amateur, and some people mind. Some people don't mind, but everyone has their own ideas, and they can't force it. However, since Marwood was puzzled, Linson had to explain himself: "Azpilicueta is Osasuna's main full-back for the past two seasons, well, I also found a substitute for Bridge. ”

At this time, Lin Sen said that he was a substitute, but in fact, he was thinking of a substitute.

On Bridge's issue, in fact, Linson had lied to Marwood before. Because the question mark on Bridge's name that Marwood asked before was not really a mistake by Lin Sen, but that Lin Sen was considering Bridge's location.

Since moving to Manchester City from Chelsea last winter, the England international has dominated the city's left-hand wing. Almost everyone, including Marwood, naturally believes that Bridge, who was at the time, could be relied on by Manchester City on the left side for years to come, with the exception of Linson. Not because of Bridge's well-known injury. It's because Linson knows, for Bridge. There is something that is a great shame for a man, I am afraid that it has happened to him, that is, the sensational "Friend Wife Gate". At the moment, this matter has not been disclosed. But that doesn't mean it hasn't happened yet. Because the other protagonist of this incident is none other than Bridge's former team-mate and Chelsea captain John Terry.

Injuries and illnesses are easy to treat, but heart diseases are difficult to treat. Linson is not afraid of Bridge's injury, but for other things, he really can't do anything, maybe only Ariel can help, but really can't hold out too much hope, Linson has deep sympathy for Bridge, but as a manager, he must consider finding a more reliable candidate in the left-back position, and this person is Azpilicueta.

What made Lin Sen have a toothache was that after introducing Azpilicueta, Marwood nodded, and actually fell silent again. But this time, Lin Sen didn't plan to wait any longer.

"Be honest, Brian. You've seen my transfer plan, that's pretty much it, and of course, the final decision has to wait for Karl's approval. But until then, I hope that we can agree. ”

Lin Sen took the lead in opening the skylight, and the purpose was naturally to hope that Ma Wood would speak with him.

With the gaze of a "person who has come over", the lineup drawn by Linsen for Manchester City is very beautiful and picturesque.

If everything goes in the direction Linsen wants, there will be 25 players in the Manchester City first team for the new season, which is exactly the ideal number for a team.

The goalkeeper position, Given, Hart, Nelson, one is the current Ireland international, the other is the future England international, and Nelson is the third goalkeeper. This is the optimal configuration for any team.

At the back, left-backs Bridge and Cesar Azpilicueta, a current England international and a future Spain international. Right-backs Zabaleta and Richards, who are nearly 24 years old, have already played in one World Cup as a regular for Argentina, while Richards, who is in excellent form, will be a regular in the England national team.

The four central defenders Kompany, Dunn, David Luiz, Cahill, Kompany is already the absolute main force of the Belgian national team at the age of 18, and Dunn, who has been with Manchester City for nine seasons, is the captain of Manchester City, David Luiz? Captain of the future Brazilian team. Cahill? Future England international.

Midfield midfield position, De Jong, Vidal, Javi Martinez, three play two turns, De Jong is the current Dutch international, Vidal is a Chilean international, Javi Martinez? Three years later, he was worth 40 million.

Up front, Di Maria on the left has already proven his potential at last year's Beijing Olympics, with David Silva already one of Spain's best midfielders and Arjen Robben on the right not needing to prove anything more. Behind these three are Robinho, Petrov, Ireland, Elano and Wright Jr.

Up front, Suarez, Adriano and Bellamy.

……

It may not be the best squad in the Premier League right now, but it's definitely the best Manchester City can get at the moment: a reassuring backline, a midfield barrier that can be both offensive and defensive, and a group of formidable attackers.

Of course, no matter how beautiful the picture is, someone must know how to appreciate it. Because if you run into a self-righteous one, Phoenix Proud intends to change it to a chicken pecking rice map. Lin Sen was not sure that Marwood was such a person, and he didn't think that Marwood was such a person, but at this point, it was useless to think that he was useless, and Lin Sen needed to be sure, because Marwood also had a paintbrush in his hand, and he had the right to add something or cross something.

For Lin Sen's words, Ma Wood nodded, he had no reason to refuse, he and Lin Sen, the original positioning was cooperation, not confrontation, even if it was confrontation, it was after cooperation. There are many things in football where the head coach and the manager fall out, but there is no shortage of examples of harmony between the head coach and the manager, but compared to the latter, the former is obviously more afraid of the media that the world is not chaotic, so it has formed the illusion that the former is more than the latter, but in fact, the storage zài is reasonable, and the reason why the coach and manager model exists zài naturally has its reasonable place, if the head coach and the manager break their wrists as soon as they meet, then obviously this model is not necessary to save zài.

Two hours later, Linson and Marwood left Carrington together.

At this time, no one expected that in the next two months, a transfer storm called Manchester City had just been announced.

Having a transfer plan and a training plan are the two most important things a manager can do before the start of the season. And both of those things need to be done before the team returns.

For managers who don't have transfer rights, the former only needs to ask the transfer manager for reinforcements or simply give them a transfer list, and then they can go on vacation, of course, when the season actually starts, only God knows what cards they have in their hands. For managers with transfer rights, their holidays are destined to be a little harder, but in comparison, their seasons are naturally a little better.

The confirmation of the transfer plan has allowed Lin Sen to complete the most important thing this summer, and then he only needs to wait for an orderly process.

On June 27, Dina and Ariel arrived in Manchester together, and the arrival of the two of them also meant that Lin Sen's small team was all in place.

On June 28th, with his small team, Lin Sen officially met with the coaching staff of Manchester City, and then there was no surprise, when a group of old men who were the youngest could make Ariel calmly call an uncle saw Ariel and others, there were all kinds of wonderful expressions, but at this time Lin Sen did not come to appreciate the change of face, because today in addition to meeting with the coaching staff of Manchester City, he also needs to determine a candidate.

Assistant Coach.

After the meeting, Linson talked to Brian Kidd alone, from Atletico Madrid to Malaga to Manchester City, Linsen has also experienced two assistant coaches, Juan at Atletico Madrid is decent, belongs to the kind of traditional assistant coach who says what he does, and Tapia made Linsen understand how much burden a capable manager can share with the head coach, so even if he knows that Kidd is the super assistant coach who has assisted Ferguson for twelve years, Linsen intends to see is believing, not because he doubts the other party's ability, It's because he needs to determine the character of the other person.

Thankfully, Kidd didn't disappoint Linson. (To be continued......)

PS: It's done with your eyes closed, look at the time, good morning everyone.
