World Cup in South Africa.

Compared with Group G, Group H is not a group of death, and Spain, with a luxurious lineup, is obviously stronger than Switzerland, Chile and North Korea in the same group. However, Spain's start to the World Cup was not perfect, as they were upset by Switzerland in their first game, losing 1-0.

David Silva, who started the game, was mediocre and had no trace of his style at Manchester City, and he was replaced by Keylor Navas in the 62nd minute, when Spain were already 1-0 down.

You can find a lot of excuses to be substituted as an attacking player when the team needs to score, such as the manager's tactical adjustments, etc., but that feeling is obviously not good, but David Silva didn't want to let the world mislead the world into thinking that he was unhappy with the game, so he picked up his pace, jogged off, high-fived Navas, and shook hands with Bosque......

David Silva was hoping his team-mates could do what they couldn't, equalising or even overtaking him, but his hopes were dashed.

Once again, Spain's World Cup journey has been overshadowed.

David Silva's mood is naturally not good, but the mood of the players has never been a reference standard for the media's questions. He was inevitably asked about his interest in Real Madrid, and when asked by reporters, David Silva gave an unexpected answer, but it was exactly what the Spanish media wanted.

"My task is to play well in the World Cup, and I won't think about anything else for the time being."

Yes, David Silva did not say that he was not interested in Real Madrid, nor did he say that he did not want to leave Manchester City. So, in the newspaper of the afternoon, the newspaper Marca, there was the words that David Silva "acquiesced" to the possibility of a transfer.

Linson also heard David Silva's words, but not from Marca, but from TV.

A sentence can be interpreted in many ways. For the Spanish media, the focus is not on what David Silva said, but on what he didn't say. That's why anything that gets into the mouth of the media tends to spark the public's eye, because they can always find an angle that interests you, and, if you're not careful, you won't even notice that they're taken out of context.

For Linson, Real Madrid are not the only club interested in David Silva right now.

Manchester City made a second offer for Yaya Toure, this time for twenty-two million, Barcelona? Yaya Tourega two million. Continue to counter-bid David Silva.

Then, it didn't feel like a serious transfer anymore, because he started to mix in other things.

For example, last summer's transfer of one pound more than Dahl.

Well, soap operas, that's how they were born.

Communication with Yaya Toure's agent, Dimitri Seeluk, has been smooth, and it's normal that no agent will turn away a new buyer after the player has expressed his intention to leave. What's more, it is currently the largest local tycoon in Europe, Manchester City, what makes Linson wary is that Celuk seems to be a little overly enthusiastic, and it is Mawood who is responsible for communicating with him. But Celuk didn't know when he got his number, so he actually took the initiative to call Lin Sen.

Linson can understand Celuk's motives, and as a buyer, Celuk's attitude is also the attitude that Manchester City would like to see the most. But Lin Sen couldn't have a good impression of such an agent, because he always reminded himself of Robinho's agent Ribeiro.

It may be too strict to describe such an agent as a traitor, but there is one thing that the two are the same. That is, no matter which side you are, you will not like this kind of character. Now Celluc can do that when Yaya Toure was still a Barcelona player, then who can guarantee that Yaya Toure won't do the same when he becomes a Manchester City player?

Lin Sen doesn't have much of an impression of this agent, but he remembers an interesting fact related to Yaya Toure, which is also related to this agent, that is, the famous birthday gate: because he did not get the blessing of Manchester City on his birthday, Celuk even threatened to transfer.

So, Celuc, and Ribeiro, are pretty much the same kind of people. It's not the kind of manager likes to face. Of course, at least for now, Celuc, is the trouble for Barcelona.

Of course, Lin Sen is not without good news.

That is, Givens finally nodded-

A technical coach, a strength and conditioning coach, plus a goalkeeper coach.

Lin Sen's coaching team is finally complete.

However, Given's will not be part of the team right away, and he will be the first substitute for Joe Hart in the new season, or rather, he will be a sword that Linsen puts on Joe Hart's head, and any position needs to be contested, even if it is a goalkeeper, especially a goalkeeper who has become famous at a young age. And Given, Linson will let him start trying some goalkeeper coach work. He will officially become part of the coaching staff when his player contract expires.

Unlike Given, Bellamy and Ireland, who have entered the transfer market, have had a difficult time.

The difficulty is not that the two are uninterested, but that the salaries of the two, one is 90,000 a week, the other is 70,000 a week, both of them are the main salary level of the wealthy family, but no wealthy family is interested in the two, or to be precise, they are willing to pay the two such a salary. Bellamy is a little easier to do, after all, the players themselves are not averse to leaving, and Ireland is more troublesome.

When Ireland, who returned to his hometown for vacation, was interviewed by the local media, he directly pointed the finger at Lin Sen, just as he expressed his attitude on the phone with Lin Sen.

In this regard, Lin Sen was silent.

Publicly flipping with your own teammates? It's not a glorious thing for any manager. But one thing is certain, and that is Ireland's statement, leaving him with no room to manoeuvre at Manchester City.

On 20 June, the entire Manchester City coaching staff returned.

On June 26, the World Cup in South Africa ended all the group stage competition, and all 16 teams in the quarterfinals were decided. The "unfortunate" thing is that the national team of Manchester City's players is all in the promotion ranks. Fortunately, Ivory Coast, who were in the Group of Death along with Brazil and Portugal, were knocked out of the tournament. And this means that Yaya Toure's transfer has officially entered the highway.

Yaya Toure, who ended her World Cup journey, spoke out about her future for the first time after the match against North Korea: "Premier League? Why not. That's the best league in the world. Manchester city? They were Premier League champions last season and they have proven that they are a great team. Like David Silva, Yaya Toure's statement was quickly interpreted by the English media as a nod from the Ivory Coast midfielder to Manchester City.

And in fact.

Over the past week, City have completed two pending deals and a string of transfers.

The two completed deals, one is Onuoha, who was loaned to Sunderland last season, Sunderland offered five million, and it has long been known that Onuoha did not put any obstacles in the way of Marwood in the purge list, and the only obstacle was that Onuoha was reluctant to be loaned to the team last season, but this obstacle was also rejected by the efforts of Sunderland manager Steven Bruce.

That's right, it's Bruce, who was regarded as the "Man Connection" as soon as he became the head coach and Ferguson's former protégé.

Another deal came from Etuhu, who was loaned to Cardiff City last season, although Cardiff City was only fourth in the end last season, missing out on the Premier League, but the team's results strengthened their determination, Etuhu on loan from Manchester City was excellent, and they naturally wanted Etuhu to stay in the new season, so they made two requests to Manchester City, one is a two-million buyout, and the other is to continue on loan.

Marwood chose the former, the former, of course. As for the opinion of the player, Etuhu, who has never been in the first team, sees it better than Ornoja in this regard, let alone Ireland, as a winger, as a winger, just look at the names that overlap with his position in the current Manchester City first team, he does not feel that he still has a future in Manchester City, so why rely on it?

The two purges brought in seven million in revenue for Manchester City, but these were destined to be only appetizers before a big meal.

In the case of David Silva, Real Madrid and Barcelona are still engaged in an invisible "national derby", and the two teams did not know that the other team was also interested, so they were hiding in this transfer, but they soon found out that it was not necessary at all, not only because the answers they received in this transfer were very simple NO, but also because Bergiristain and Baldano even collided together at one point.

For Manchester City, "defending" David Silva has now become a top priority for Manchester City, as is the introduction of Yaya Toure, however, the interest of Real Madrid and Barcelona has also complicated this "love triangle".

Manchester City wanted to keep David Silva, but it was Real Madrid who first let David Silva have the idea of "red apricots out of the wall". Barcelona also want David Silva, and they have Yaya Toure on their hands that Manchester City want. So, Real Madrid's advantage lies in their preconceived attraction to players, while Barcelona's advantage lies in their attraction to Manchester City.

Of course, it is also important to note that neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona want each other to get David Silva. And this has also become an opportunity for Manchester City to take advantage of.

Manchester City turned down two teams and began to prepare for the other.

After Linson's meeting with Marwood, he appeared publicly at Liverpool on June 28, targeting Mascherano, who had already submitted a transfer application to the Liverpool club after Benitez's departure.

Don't think this is a Manchester City bluff, because just the day before, Manchester City officially made an offer to Liverpool FC for the Argentine midfielder: 20 million. (To be continued......)
