Chapter VIII Three Categories
The opponent is used to fall into the well, not to add icing on the cake, let alone to send charcoal in the snow.
In this regard, Ferguson's Manchester United has done the most thoroughly, compared with several other giants who have occasionally traded players in recent years, Manchester United and several other giants can almost be described as incompatible in the transfer market. Manchester United's most recent player deal with Liverpool dates back almost half a century, and there was a thirty-four-year freeze between United and Arsenal before Manchester United defender Silvestre moved to Arsenal on a free transfer two years ago......
Lin Sen deeply agrees with Ferguson's attitude.
A blow against the enemy is enough to make people feel depressed, and if you add that you are stunned and free shipping, it is purely self-inflicted. Judging that a player is no longer a threat or has no potential, this is a choice that every manager will make, either actively or passively, and Lin Sen is naturally one of them, otherwise, where does the "cleaning list" given to Marwood come from?
Trees move the dead and people move alive, no one knows whether a "waste wood" in his eyes will become a "genius" on the other side, after all, there are countless such things in football, even if it is Lin Sen, although he brings his own plug-in, but there is no guarantee that these people who are "cleaned" by themselves will suddenly shine in the future, but one thing is certain, that is, he will never give these people to the mortal enemy, of course, what happens in the future, he can't care.
Lin Sen doesn't have this "self-confidence", what about Guardiola? What about Barcelona?
Yaya Toure should definitely leave Barcelona, because the reason for his departure has not changed because of Linson, but whether Barcelona will let him come to Manchester City is another matter, because in memory Barcelona let Yaya Toure come to Manchester City, at that time Manchester City's head coach was not Linsen, and Manchester City played not the Champions League.
In other words. For Pep Guardiola and Barcelona at that time, Manchester City was just a very simple and cute nouveau riche. Now, things are different.
Linsen and Guardiola, of course, are not rivals, although judging from the records of the two, one win, one draw and one loss in three encounters are evenly divided, and Linsen also ruined a perfect "treble" feast for Guardiola, but the distance between Malaga and Barcelona determines that the two cannot become rivals. Of course. It's not a rival, but it's definitely not a good thing, and more importantly, Manchester City is not Malaga.
Manchester City won the Premier League last season and the Europa League last season, and while that doesn't mean they qualify as Barcelona's rivals in the Champions League, Pep Guardiola doesn't want City to grow further if they add Linson.
Thinking of this, Lin Sen had a little headache, and he turned his gaze to another name.
Compared to the more versatile Yaya Toure. The characteristics of Mascherano are even more obvious, and he is a defensive specialist through and through. If it weren't for Yaya Toure's temptation, Mascherano would actually be more suitable for Bidal's partner, at least. In this way, the defense of the midfield, I really have peace of mind. However, the Argentine midfielder also has a problem. And it's bigger than Ayaya Toure.
That is, Liverpool are more reluctant than Barcelona to sell their main midfielders to Manchester City, even though Benitez has left.
"It doesn't seem to be in the water. I don't know the depth. Lin Sen muttered to himself.
The back midfielder will be the only active reinforcement position for Lin Sen this summer, which is also a blessing of 200 million last year.
In addition to this position, Lin Sen has no intention of destroying the little tacit understanding and stable lineup that has taken a season to build. It's just that if there is initiative, there will be passivity, and the passive one is not what Lin Sen said.
The first position that may bear the brunt of the passivity is the goalkeeper position.
Given's injury has healed, but it also carries a huge question mark, and in fact, whether Given's injury or not has this injury, Joe Hart's ascension is inevitable. Linson has no problem with Joe Hart, and while the England goal-line's best hope at the moment is a bit of a stretch in his memory, it's honestly a bit frustrating to put defensive hopes on goalkeepers as a manager. A good goalkeeper can top half a team, which is true, of course, but there is another saying: the goalkeeper of a weak team. Lin Sen doesn't want his team's goal to be the biggest protagonist one day.
In addition to the goalkeeper, Lin Sen always feels unsafe in the position of left back, of course, at present, it seems that this is more of his own "illusion", because the current Bridge is really not overlapping with the Bridge in his memory. But after all, it's still the same old saying, and Linson is very skeptical about Bridge's form next season. And just because he remembers Azpilicueta playing on the left side of Chelsea, he was "unauthorized" from the right side to the left side of his previous habit, and the Spanish defender did not get enough training last season, and Linson also doubted that once Bridge's form was not good, Azpilicueta would be able to move up the position.
There are also captain Dunn, midfielder Ireland and so on...... All in all, most of these passive adjustments stem from one problem, and that is playing time.
Regarding playing time, Lin Sen believes that he has achieved the ultimate in rotation last season, but even so, there are still people who are dissatisfied with playing time, but these dissatisfaction is covered up by Manchester City's results, but in the new season, with the further adjustment of his positioning of individual players, this problem is bound to become more acute. Linson doesn't want these foreseeable problems to knock on his office door after the season starts, so now is the best time to fix them.
Linson has two lists in his notebook, one is the list of transfer markets that are currently on the table, and the other is the list that Manchester City themselves may adjust.
The latter list is divided into three categories.
One is the purge list that has been submitted to Marwood, and the other is the list of grievances about playing time last season, the grievances here do not refer to the players who openly express dissatisfaction, but Linsen's own "eyes", and the last category, in fact, is only one person.
In addition to the four academy players including Etuhu and Johnson, there is also another name, Petrov.
It needs to be said that Linsen has no opinion on the Bulgarians, and Petrov's characteristics can also enrich Manchester City's offensive routines, but with the arrival of Di Maria in the new season, Manchester City is already very crowded on the left side, Petrov's space is actually very narrow, and with age, Linsen cannot afford to leave the other side for the occasional few tactical adjustments. In that case, even Manchester City would be too extravagant, and it would be unfair to the players themselves.
There are also many names on the "grievance" list, including Richards, Ireland, Wright Jr., and even Bellamy...... These people actually have one thing in common, that is, before Linsen became the owner of Manchester City, they were the absolute main force of Manchester City before, but after Linsen became the owner, they became rotation players and even substitute players.
Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be resentment. What makes Lin Sen more satisfied is that although there are grievances, these people have no complaints, this is the so-called professionalism. Of course, professionalism doesn't help you solve a qiē. Therefore, for these people, it is impossible for Lin Sen to get by. However, there is only so much playing time, and Lin Sen can't conjure up more playing time out of thin air, so the solution is very simple, either Lin Sen asks them to accept the status quo, or Lin Sen compromises by himself, or, it is good to get together and disperse.
If Linson doesn't think it's hard to find a replacement because most of these rosters are rotational players and doesn't worry, then the last one is going to be a big headache for Linsen.
Lin Sen never thought that the big Manchester City in his memory has always been wielding a hoe to dig other people's corners, when will it be his turn to be dug by others? Of course, Lin Sen swore to defend his corner, but in case ...... Where the hell is he going to find a replacement for David Silva's rank? ――
June 11 is a big day for football.
The 2012 World Cup in South Africa officially opened, in the singing of Shakira, the Spanish diva who is not Pique's wife, the opening match was between the host South African team and the South American powerhouse Mexico team, South Africa's "specialty" Huzzula also made its debut, the result of the game was very harmonious, in the 55th minute the host South Africa's Chabalala counterattacked, and in the 79th minute, former Barcelona central defender Marquis scored a goal, and the two sides shook hands.
Lin Sen was watching the game at the training base, with Marwood.
For the "replay" of the World Cup, Lin Sen has little interest, and he doesn't even remember much, only remembering that it was the matador Spain who finally threw off the hat of the soft-footed shrimp in the tournament and was crowned the first world champion in their history, and their opponent was the Dutch team, and Robben became the target of public criticism because of his missed single knife. I still remember that the biggest surprise of this World Cup was Uruguay, which made it all the way to the semi-finals, and other than that, there were only fragments left.
Lin Sen was not interested, but Marwood was very interested, and the two originally planned to exchange opinions on transfers this year, but in the end, they talked more about the World Cup.
What surprised Lin Sen was that for the World Cup, he had always been impressed by Marwood, who had always cherished the words like gold, but the conversation was very high, and when it came to the England team, Lin Sen felt even more proud, almost three sentences without leaving England, which is not surprising, every major tournament, the England team is almost a popular team, this England, although there is less Beckham, and even to South Africa, Ferdinand had to withdraw from the list, but from the card, there is still no lack of competitiveness, and give England fans the greatest confidence, Naturally, it is a midfield double-virtue.
It's a pity that Lin Sen also knows that in this World Cup, England still can't get rid of the fate that the heart is higher than the sky and the fate is thinner than paper. Moreover, the way they said goodbye to the World Cup was not only bleak, but also regrettable. (To be continued......)
