Chapter XIII: The Guard Line

Wan Sheng is a football coach, not a pure businessman, and he can't figure out how to sell his players for a high price in the first place, but it is certain that he can't sell them now.

At this time, the summer transfer work has just begun, and the offers of various teams to players are only tentative, and the ones that can make a deal are the kind of three-way transactions that you are willing to make, such as Wright Phillips, without their own words, Manchester City Club will definitely drag it out, because everyone knows that although Chelsea is willing to spend money, it is difficult for them to buy good players, and if Chelsea can still make up their minds, they will definitely pay a higher price.

So Wan Sheng immediately asked the club's staff to announce that Wright Phillips was a 'not for sale' of Manchester City FC.

'Not for sale' is a noun that means that the player is very important to the club, but in the world of football, there is a saying that 'there is no sale', any player has a value, as long as you can afford the price, you can talk about any 'not for sale'.

But what is important is the issue of the weight of the 'not for sale'.

Before Manchester City announced that Wright-Phillips was "not for sale", it had no weight at all, everyone knew that Manchester City was under economic pressure, and they were all about to be crushed by external debts, and finally the team had a Wright-Phillips, and they were also favored by the rich Chelsea, and it was strange that they were not in a hurry to sell Wright-Phillips to Chelsea, and the 'not for sale' or something was purely to raise the price.

The announcement is different now, because the news has the shadow of Wansheng.

Everyone also knows that Wan Sheng is the head coach of Manchester City, and he must have the absolute support of chairman Wald when he comes to Manchester City, and a large part of Manchester City fans and media are also interested in what this young Chinese will transform Manchester City into, and as a manager, he rarely considers the value of the player. As long as the player is good for his own construction, then it is natural to keep it, which is the same reason that Chelsea are eager to buy Wright Phillips to supplement the squad, because it must be the work of Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.

So when the news of 'not for sale' is labeled Wansheng, and it is accompanied by Wansheng's external speech, talking about the importance of Wright-Phillips to the team, the credibility naturally increases a lot.

"Wright Jr. has been England's greatest wide talent in recent years! He's going to be a core player for Manchester City and I'm not going to sell him to anyone, especially a rival. That's impossible."

'Mourinho needs Wright? No, he's not for sale! Unless he can sell Terry to us."

The last sentence is for the importance of Wright Phillips, comparing him to Chelsea captain John Terry, it is impossible for Chelsea to sell Terry, which naturally shows that Wright Phillips is also quite important.

In fact, there is some implication in saying this, that is, it is okay for Chelsea to buy Wright Phillips, in addition to the transfer funds, they also have to pay players in exchange.

Wan Sheng has long set his eye on some of Chelsea's young players. For example, Glenn Johnson, the absolute mainstay of the future England backline, is not in a good position right now, he is only 21 years old. Last year, he just had more appearances, and as a result, he faced the competitive pressure of Mourinho's descendant, Paulo Ferreira, and Johnson also played a lot less last season.

Such a young genius. It's a waste to be under Jose Mourinho, who hardly needs to develop geniuses or anything, he just needs to use quality stars.

But I really want to get it from Chelsea. Buying Glenn Johnson, that's almost impossible, Chelsea is not short of money, and will not sell young talents, it is estimated that even if the young talents rot in their hands, they don't want to sell them, especially to competitors, so if you want to poach people from Chelsea, you must have other ways, such as taking the door of Abramovich's personal relationship, and another example is to exchange players with them for transfer transactions.

Wan Sheng and Abramovich know each other, the personal relationship is also good, he even has Abramovich's personal phone, when he just left Derby, Abramovich also called him to condole, euphemistically asked if he wanted to come to Chelsea to coach, of course, not as a manager, but as Mourinho's assistant coach, Abramovich even promised him' Second only to Mourinho's salary, this is a huge temptation for a young coach who has only been in charge for two years and is only 28 years old.

Of course, Wansheng politely refused.

He can't give up his tenure as manager to give Mourinho a hand, even if Roman Abramovich reveals that if Mourinho leaves Chelsea, he will have a chance to take over in the future, but how many years from now?

All in all, his personal relationship with Abramovich is not bad, but Wan Sheng does not want to use this to help Manchester City club buy players, personal relationship is a personal relationship, he is the head coach of Manchester City, Abramovich is the chairman of Chelsea, if the two are on the same footing, for example, he is the chairman of Manchester City, he will not mind using his personal relationship to help the team buy players, because the club is his own, but he is only the head coach, it is better to do business or business.

So Wansheng's choice is the latter.

Since Mourinho needs Wright-Phillips, it would not be too much for him to pay a little bit and swap players in the squad who are not very needed

After finishing his work with Wright-Phillips, Wan Sheng began to analyze the number jù problem of the soccer training master system.

After officially becoming the manager of Manchester City, the football training master system has also been 'updated', and the names of the players under him have changed to the current Manchester City players, and the players of Derby County in the past can only be found in the players' union.

These players who can only be found in the players' union can still be viewed in terms of strength, but because many people can no longer enjoy the 'player's union ability bonus', the personal strength evaluation has declined, among which the 'elder' members can directly enjoy the union ability bonus, and the decline is not very much, but Wan Sheng is no longer the coach of Derby County, and they are not 'own team' players, so naturally they can't enjoy the 'double ability bonus of elder players', so the overall personal ability attribute is still declining.

However, this decline is not very strict. After all, many Derby County players have been promoted to the point of relying on the mission system of the Football Trainer, and as long as they are still in the players' union, their previously improved personal abilities will not be reduced, but they will no longer enjoy the attribute bonuses of the players' union and coaching skills.

It can be said that now Wan Sheng is the one who can decide their fate.

As long as Wansheng expels them from the players' union, the strength of many people will drop significantly, and it will have a huge impact on them, even if it is a future star like Nemanja Vidic.

Vidic, for example, even without the Soccer Trainer system, could have been a first-choice centre-back in a few years' time. But that was 'a few years later', and now he is still very immature, young in terms of competition experience, and his personal ability is just beginning.

In his year at Derby, with the Football Training Master Task System, his improvement is huge, and this improvement is enough to compare him with the real top central defenders, and if Wan Sheng expels him from the players' union now, his strength will naturally return to his original Cheng dù. There must have been a big decline.

From a world-class centre-back to a 'young player with potential', this is by no means acceptable to ordinary people, in short, Vidic will feel as if he is 'out of shape'. This kind of psychological blow may be even greater than the real strength.

However, under normal circumstances, Wan Sheng does not need to fire the players of the players' union, these players are all trained by him. They have been together for a long time, and their personal relationship is very good, so he doesn't have to do that.

It's just the first time he's changed teams. It's just a matter of understanding the functions of the system, but his main purpose is to get to know the current players.

After a careful understanding, we can start to revamp the team.

Soon, Wansheng identified what needed to be restructured - the team's backline.

Manchester City's backline is not bad, and even speaking, this backline is definitely at the forefront of the Premier League, and it is precisely by relying on a solid defense that 'Keane's Manchester City' has not collapsed in the chaos.

But that's about it.

This backline is too old, too old!

Unless it is a player who has been training with Wansheng for a long time, Wansheng's favorite is still young players, especially young players around 18 years old, such players are still very plastic, using the football training master system, they can also improve their strength, and the important thing is that they can adapt to the new tactics as much as possible, and will not lose their 'plasticity', the football style is completely stereotyped, and the guide zhì cannot adapt to the new tactical system.

Manchester City's backline has lost its malleability.

28-year-old Mills, 27-year-old Dunn, 28-year-old Distin, 30-year-old Satcher, plus a 28-year-old panacea substitute Sun Jihai This back line is really a bit old, the key is that there is no player, really has 'plasticity', a player over 28, want to rely on the football training master system to improve, it has become very difficult, the key is that their football style has long been set, it is difficult to adapt to the new tactical routine, that is, it is difficult for them to follow the training rhythm of the whole team.

Such a guard line must be transformed.

Thankfully, Leto Ziegler has moved to Derby County, and with this strong young player, he can add some energy to the back line.

Wan Sheng thought about it and decided to start with the full-back players first.

In any case, the centre-backs will always need to be more stable, and Distin is the captain of the team, and the defensive line formed by him and Dunn is very stable, even if it is not reformed, it is possible to rely on them to stabilize the defence.

Full-backs are different, full-backs need to be more flexible and old-fashioned can only be eliminated, so Mills and Satchel are destined to go, and they need to make room for young players.

Soon Wan Sheng announced his decision to sell the player for the first time since he took over, and he asked the athletic department to put Satcher and Mills up for sale.

This decision is very sudden, there will definitely be a lot of opposition, Wan Sheng is already prepared, and he doesn't care at all, but what he didn't expect is that the opposition voice has not yet come, and the voice of support has come first.

After Thatcher and Mills were listed, the Chinese media were the first to get excited
