Manchester city?

When Pep Guardiola, who was on vacation, heard the name, what instantly flashed in his mind was not Manchester City's number one star, but a familiar and unfamiliar Oriental face.

"There should be sincerity, and they directly gave an offer of 20 million." Begiristain's voice on the other end of the phone was flat, "As for Arsenal, there has been no response yet, but, Pep, I think your request, Wenger's nodding is really unlikely......"

Pep Guardiola nodded, and of course, the answer that Vegiristan could not see was just silence.

Pep Guardiola naturally knew that Wenger's nodding was unlikely, in fact, his request was more appropriate than a "request" and a "tentative". Manchester City are not the first team to make an offer for Yaya Toure, before them, Arsenal have already made an actual offer, because Arsenal also have Yaya Toure's brother Kolo Toure in the team, and the player side will not pose an obstacle, but the price they put forward is far less sincere than Manchester City, the first offer is 12 million.

Barcelona's reaction? Anti-buying!

Yaya Tourega 10 million, seeking Fabregas.

Since Fabregas's fame, the relationship between Barcelona and Cesc Fabregas has become a bond between a loving mother and a wandering son, and it has also led to a touching drama that has been staged every summer in recent years: the call of mothers. Barcelona have made no secret of their intention to recall Cesc Fabregas, and Cesc Fabregas has never denied hope of returning to Barcelona.

Pep Guardiola is certainly happy to see Cesc Fabregas return, especially if Yaya Toure is confirmed, but the reason why he is happy is that Fabregas is a top midfielder, and the second condition is that Fabregas can work seamlessly with his tactics, and as for the "bond" thing, it is just the cherry on the cake, and having it can make the cake even more tempting. Without it, the cake is still the cake. Of course, it can't be denied to people, and it is really easy to use to seduce people.

Wenger, who accidentally became a "villain", naturally did not want the core he had cultivated to be picked by others, even if the seeds were indeed "stolen" from the other party. But for this, he couldn't stop it.

Fetters? Hell's bond.

La Masia's academy is world-famous, and when it comes to La Masia's stars, Barcelona fans are always familiar with it, however. Not every player who comes out of La Masia can become a smooth lì into Barcelona and become a star, if Wenger did not poach Fabregas from La Masia, Fabregas may still be famous, but it will never be today's "small law".

No one doubts that Barcelona are particularly fond of Cesc Fabregas because he is "his own man", and no one doubts that Cesc Fabregas wants to return because he was born at Barcelona, but what if Cesc Fabregas is just an ordinary player? And what if Barcelona is a team that hasn't fallen behind Arsenal? If that's the case. So is the so-called bond still a fetter that sounds extremely poetic?

Others don't know, but Lin Sen, who knows the ending, will probably sneer, the fetters of bullshit. It's better to miss each other than to see each other.

Sure enough, for Barcelona's "counteroffer", Wenger simply came to a love to sell or not, and this. In fact, it was also expected by Guardiola.

"What about Chelsea?" It took a long time for Guardiola to ask.

"Them?" Begiristan smiled and said, "Don't say they're just asking for a price. Even if they do make an offer, are you really going to sell to them? Pep. ”

Pep Guardiola also smiled.

Of course, not for sale.

Barcelona and Chelsea, although one is in La Liga and the other is in the Premier League, but for the two teams that have often appeared in the Champions League and have repeatedly "coincided" and always bumped together, because of the relationship between Mourinho, they have become the most "wronged" opponents in the European arena, especially after the "Stamford Bridge tragedy", at least, the relationship between the two teams is far from eased.

"What do you think about Manchester City?" Begiristan asked again.

"My opinion?" The corners of Guardiola's mouth lifted, "It's simple. ”――

Hehe.

For Barcelona's response, Linson's reaction was only these two words.

"If you want Yaya Toure, take David Silva in exchange, draw!" That's Barcelona's reply to Manchester City's bid for Yaya Toure.

Obviously, this is not a familiar script in Lin Sen's memory, but for this script, Lin Sen is actually not surprised.

After Manchester City qualified for next season's Champions League, after a little story between Linsen and Barcelona, the deal could not have been as light as it was remembered, which was predictable, and the other side wanted David Silva, although not expected by Linsen, but also reasonable.

With Thierry Henry leaving for the United States to join the New York Red Bulls this summer, Barcelona is missing a heavyweight on the left side, although in this position, Pedro has actually squeezed Henry to the bench last season, and Barcelona does not seem to be immediately replenished in memory, but the Manchester City sent to the door, David Silva, is undoubtedly a good candidate for Barcelona.

What made Lin Sen sneer was the flat change.

At the heart of the Premier League title, a rotation player for Barcelona? Are you kidding.

Linson admits that after joining Manchester City, Yaya Toure played no less role in Manchester City than David Silva, or even more than that, but that is in memory, and now, even in terms of value, the two are far from proportional, Manchester City spent 30 million to bring in David Silva last season, and Barcelona only spent 9 million to bring in Yaya Toure from Monaco two years ago.

Pep Guardiola is a good plan.

However, since the other party did not directly refuse, it means that history has not changed, Yaya Toure, for sale.

In no hurry to respond to Barcelona, Linson asked Marwood to contact Yaya Toure's agent first, although it is not in accordance with the rules, but it is always right to probe first, especially after Manchester City lack an important bargaining chip in memory to attract Yaya Toure: brotherhood. Of course, City also have some other chips, such as defending their title and Champions League qualification.

Then, Lin Sen temporarily withdrew from the deal, but that didn't mean he had nothing to do.

Just like last year, if you want to "drive" someone away, or "move" someone's job, then, as a head coach, you'd better not be an ostrich. It's just that, like David Silva, when the players still have World Cup tasks, Lin Sen can only postpone the conversation for the time being, and then focus on the players who don't have World Cup tasks-

Receiving a call from Lin Sen, Givens was not surprised.

He has been in England for fifteen years, and he can't know the power of the English hukou, not to mention, this is still a genius with a hukou. From the moment he arrived at Manchester City, he knew that sooner or later he would be replaced by Joe Hart, and in fact, when Linson kept Joe Hart last season, he was skeptical that process would have been brought forward.

As it turned out, Lin Sen still trusted him. However, this is not the same as it used to be.

Last year he didn't have an injury, and now he has one more problem. Last year he was a year younger than he is now, and now, Joe Hart, who is playing with England at the World Cup, has another season of experience.

An old Ireland international, a future England international, this choice is not difficult to make, even if it is left to Given's own doing, there is no suspense.

So, the matter is actually very simple, if Given's own old age, then, he does not need to worry about his "pension" contract at all, and when he was injured a few months ago, Lin Sen had already given a clear hint. However, the problem is that Given, who is not convinced, believes he still has what it takes to be the main goalkeeper of a top team.

What Jivin didn't expect was that Lin Sen, who called, did not immediately tell him that he would not be the team's main goalkeeper in the new season, as he expected, Lin Sen just asked him what his future plans were.

The so-called future refers to after his retirement.

Given's not too much thought about this future, although he is old enough to think about it, the only thing that is certain is that he will not leave football. Being a head coach? It's a good idea, and while Givens doesn't think he's the material, he doesn't mind giving it a try. To be an ordinary coach? The goalkeeper coach is undoubtedly the most professional and the most appropriate, and this seems to be a good choice.

Although he didn't expect Lin Sen to ask, Jiwen immediately understood Lin Sen's intentions, and then, he had to admit that this was indeed a temptation.

But ...... -

Lin Sen put down the phone.

Givens was the first person he called, and one of the team members he wanted to stay the most.

Given's mind was right, Linsen intended to let him try some coaching work in the new season, mainly as a goalkeeper coach, and if suitable, he even intended to let Given's coaching team into his coaching team, because his small team happened to lack a goalkeeper coach.

There are several necessary conditions for finding a team member, the most important of which is that his boss is Linsen, not Manchester City. In other words, if Linsen leaves one day, he needs to leave with Linsen, from this point of view, Given's premise is this, in the final analysis, Manchester City, which won him the first Premier League title in his career, is far from being Given's "home team".

It's just that Lin Sen's "good intentions" are also good and bad for Jiwen.

The upside is that once he becomes goalkeeper coach, Given's will not only get a player pension contract, but also a wonderful challenge that he can expect. The downside is that if he promises Linson, it means that his career as a player will basically end here, or rather, the pinnacle of the player, and end here.

This is naturally not an easy decision, so on the phone, Lin Sen did not expect Jiwen to answer him immediately, he gave Jiwen time to think about it. (To be continued......)
