Chapter 27: The Warm-up Race

flew back to Britain from South Africa, and then rushed back to South Africa that day, and what Lin Sen got was just an illusory reply.

I will think about it carefully.

Fortunately, Lin Sen didn't expect Bell to make any promises to himself on the spot, and did his best to obey the fate of God, and when things were not under your control, such a mentality was not pessimistic.

Three days later, City won their first trophy before the season, the Vodafone Cup, against the same opponents as the previous game, the Vodafone Cup, and when Dunn lifted the trophy with a smile on his face and the confetti flew on the pitch, no one took it seriously, but everyone was happy. The next day, Manchester City returned to England from their trip to South Africa.

At the Carrington training base, two newcomers are waiting to join the Manchester City team, one is David Silva and the other is David Luiz, who has just obtained his labour certificate. The addition of two new signings has made the originally somewhat top-heavy Manchester City's third-tier squad more balanced, and for Linsen, the transfer work has almost come to an end at this time.

In response to Tottenham's hesitation in the transfer of Bale, Manchester City raised their offer again, this time to 27 million, and claimed that it was the final offer.

The increase of two million may not seem like much, but it will be enough to help Levy make a choice: a gap of five million, Manchester City's offer is accepted, and Manchester United's offer is rejected.

Manchester City, who got the right to contact the player personally, did not give Ferguson any chance to react this time, and in just one day, Manchester City and Bale reached an agreement on a personal contract, and a day later, with Bale's medical examination, Bale became Manchester City's tenth signing this summer, worth 27 million, which also set a record for the value of a Welsh player.

After the announcement on Manchester City's official website, for this transfer. English football as a whole has mixed reviews.

"I would like to congratulate Lin, he has gotten a real talent. Gareth isn't on my list for sale, but football is like that, you can't control everything. After the loss of Bale, Tottenham manager Redknapp, who was interviewed by the BBC, expressed bitterness.

Compared with Redknapp, Ferguson, who missed out on Bale again, is much more open-minded.

'Yes, we were on the same page as Manchester City in Bale's transfer, but now it's a thing of the past and we'll look forward. That's the confidence, it's a pity to lose Bale. But far from Cheng Dù, who made Ferguson lose his temper for this, Manchester United this season, except for the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, has been strengthened in all aspects, and Ferguson does not need to be jealous of anyone.

"It's too expensive!" After hearing that Manchester City paid 27 million for Bale, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger even reconfirmed the number to reporters, and when he finally confirmed that he had heard correctly, he shook his head repeatedly, "Bale is a brilliant young man. But...... Nothing like that can happen to Arsenal and we will go after the title in a more correct way. ”

The implication is that Manchester City is spending money for the title.

And Wenger's speech also represents a mainstream view of Manchester City's crazy recruitment in English football at present. In this regard, Linson, who had just led the team back to Manchester City, was asked this question by reporters at the international airport, and his reaction was only a faint smile, and he did not directly respond to Wenger's words. Just said a word.

We'll see.

Linson doesn't care what the outside world thinks, and they can well continue to speculate on what City's next target is.

Every club has its own way of living, just as everyone has its own way of living. The envy of farming does not have to work, the envy of going to work does not need to be 9 to 5, the hatred of running around all day long, envy and jealousy and hatred is a sentence, but it reflects three kinds of mentality, and also says three kinds of people, each person has their own reasons for envy or jealousy or hatred, this is also everyone's freedom, Lin Sen has no intention of changing, and he can't change it.

Therefore, in Lin Sen's view, the most important thing is to live his own life, because he can change, only himself.

In Malaga, the current situation of the club in the financial supervision period made Linsen have to tighten his belt to live, had to set all kinds of harsh conditions for his own recruitment, and had to accept being a "substitute training" for others, at that time, he would have envied the then Manchester City manager Mark Hughes, but envy did not make his situation at that time any better, he could only go around "Taobao", and he had to accept that Koke was picked by Atletico Madrid.

So, coming to Manchester City, he won't save money for Manchester City, because he knows that his job is not to save money for Manchester City, and Manchester City won't expect him to save money, his job is to buy the right people and prove it.

And, while no one thinks that way now, he's actually making money for City. Someday they will know this, and that day will not be too far away.

Tapia still came to the pitch at the time he was used to.

Málaga have been much quieter in the transfer market this summer than last year, but Tapia remains satisfied.

Malaga did not receive offers, like Lewandowski, like Reus, like Gabi, after the transfer market opened, they all received offers of varying prices, but Villalonga finally did not break his promise, for these offers that were much higher than the original introduction price, but far below the minimum release fee, Villalonga did not put any pressure on Livermore, who presided over the transfer work.

Villalonga will do this, maybe really ambitious, maybe just figure out the Guò Champions Cup gilding, these Tapia don't care, he just knows that Málaga has maintained the integrity of the squad so far, and that is the most important thing.

In terms of the introduction of the team, following Linsen's advice, Malaga bought several players who were loaned last season, bought Isco from Valencia, bought Duda from Sevilla, and the only regret was that he failed to buy Bonucci from Inter Milan, and Tapia intends to put Silva, who played a season last season, as a substitute.

Of course, the petty fights in Malaga are no match for the one in the UK.

At the press conference, the flash lights kept flashing, and Lin Sen smiled brightly.

It's hard not to be sunny and in a few years' time, today's picture will be invaluable, because at that time, it's very difficult to buy three players of this caliber at the same time. Just these three people will be worth more than 100 million in the next few years, or even close to 200 million.

To his left is Gareth Bale, and to his right are two Davids: David Silva and David Luiz.

In Lin Sen's words, these three people are his planes, artillery and tanks.

A week later, City travelled to the North West of England for a warm-up match against Burnley. In this warm-up game, Linson sent all his new planes, cannons and tanks, and in this game, Bale made his debut in a new position, winger, he formed City's attacking trident with Robinho and David Silva, and in front of them was the tall Adriano.

Since joining the team, Adriano has received the attention of the coaching staff. He has also become the "happiest person" in the eyes of other team members. His physical condition is in the last gear of Dina's standards, and he has to do physical recovery training under Dina's supervision almost every day, and this is not the end, in addition to physical training. Ariel will also "chat" with him from time to time, and the two beauties recognized by the whole team are so "different" to Ade, can they not be happy?

It's just half a year of indulgence. The consequences are not so easy to digest. In the past ten days, Adriano's physical fitness standards have only advanced one place on Dina's form, but Ariel's report to Lin Sen shows. Adriano's mental state is not bad, at least optimistic, but for Lin Sen, he doesn't dare to be too optimistic, God knows if this guy's mood is not because he faces beautiful women every day.

However, if there is a stick, there must be a carrot.

Adriano, who did not start a single game in South Africa, finally got his first chance to start after less than ten minutes in three games combined.

The result of the game was not good, and the two teams ended up with a 2-2 draw. During the game, new signing David Luiz also made a mistake, because he was cut off the ball because he dribbled too much, and the team was counterattacked, but this is not the only problem, because Linsen requires the two wingers on the field to switch positions from time to time to attack, Bale is fine on the left, but it seems a little helpless to switch to the right, and David Silva is also because of the lack of tacit understanding with his teammates, and there have been embarrassing scenes of unanswered passes several times......

For these problems, Lin Sen did not seem worried when he was interviewed after the game, the warm-up game was originally to find problems, this discovery is not only for the coach, but also for the players, and even a certain process, it is more important for the players to find the problems themselves, if the players feel that they can overcome it, then the matter will be easy to solve, if the players feel that they can't adapt, then, the next thing is the coach's job.

Lynn has an ideal set of starters for his formation, but this is just his mind, each player needs to adapt to their own tactics, and this process has its strengths and weaknesses, and it may not be that the starters in his mind will adapt faster. Testing the tactical effect, understanding the player's condition, and finding the right configuration are all aimed at finding problems, and then the first thing to adjust is the start of the new season.

As for the transfer work, Linson has completely withdrawn, because there are not many targets left, Gary Cook is attacking Robben in general, Marwood is looking for a striker, Linson knows that he is most likely interested in Tevez, but he does not plan to interfere, if he fails to win Suarez this summer, then, there is also a winter transfer, and next summer......

This matter, there is no hurry. (To be continued......)

PS: Well, the transfer is basically over. I took a look at the book review area, and some friends said that the transfer was too long, which I agreed, but there was no way, there were too many goals, and most of them were difficult to pass in one stroke, and my task was to make this section not so boring. There is also a question of worth, which is really difficult to adjust, because there is no standard, I just try to get close to the angle set by the protagonist, of course, no matter how it is earned.

Finally, let's talk about the update time.,A change in the evening should be no problem.,About the update in the early morning, I meant to let everyone have it in the morning.,I didn't think that there would be friends who would wait.,So the next update in the early morning will be changed to morning.,Eight o'clock.,Timing.。
