Section 451 Champions League experience
What Mancini is lamenting is actually the effect that Li Bin wants: Since you want to make your lineup thicker, then, I will let your lineup cope with multi-line battles and make your lineup thin.
Li Bin knew that Manchester City was not short of money, and if they wanted to lose money financially, even if Li Bin killed them, they would not care at all - the little money of football, the local tyrant probably didn't care. Therefore, Li Bin's idea is not to pit them in money, but to pit their results for another year.
Manchester City is buying such a large amount of money, and it must not be the Europa League that they are looking forward to. Sufficient risk thickness, supplementing the strength of the midfield and defense but not increasing the thickness, that is to say, they have not been prepared to play multi-line battles from the beginning, or in order to abuse vegetables in the league, it is best to play once a week, change the rotation of forwards and not change the back, Li Bin estimates that after they replenish the manpower, what they will do should be to go all out to play in the league and strive for the top four.
Their ideas are not unrealistic, Liverpool has been arguing for transfer fees in the summer, Arsenal has never had a transfer fee, without the Champions League, I don't know what it looks like, Manchester City wants the top four, it is not impossible. However, if he offended Li Bin, Li Bin naturally wouldn't let him feel better. The instigating media opened fire on Manchester City, saying that he was undermining the competitiveness of the Premier League, forcing him to stand up and say that he wanted to fight for the glory of the Premier League, and then touted Manchester City as strong enough to win the title - if they didn't win it, Manchester City would just be scolded to death.
Li Bin provoked Mancini and the media very well, and he led the topic to the Europa League very well, forcing Mancini to fight for the Europa League, which also made Manchester City unable to play a single line, and the hope of entering the top four was much slimmer.
Li Bin knows very well that if a team wants to stand on the cheap in the media, it must be guaranteed by strength, and without this strength, it is misguided to this point, and Manchester City may be unlucky.
Moreover, the best thing is that Li Bin doesn't even need to do much in this process - as long as he takes the lead, someone will naturally do it. Now Manchester City is angry, as long as Li Bin gives the Premier League a reason, the Premier League teams will tear Mancini apart themselves.
Mancini himself didn't understand a problem: in Serie A, the top three in the north will not be hit no matter how they poach people, because they have the support of the Football Association behind them. In the Premier League, the FA is too influenced by Ferguson, and he cannot interfere too much with the FA, which makes the major teams in the Premier League have to scold them to death after heating up the major teams in the Premier League.
"Manchester City has such a squad, if you don't win the Europa League, it's a failure!"
This became a bellwether for the media, and everyone was telling Mancini that if he dared to lose, he would be a sinner in the Premier League. And Mancini himself has a bitterness that he can't say: who called his team, this summer, provoked so many people?
In the Premier League, they have provoked Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, so it would be nice if they could be liked by the media. These teams, while they may not have gotten along at other times, are relatively consistent in their approach to Manchester City: City are too rich enough for anyone to envy them.
"Aren't we just a little richer, poaching a few players, as for such a joint exclusion of us?" Mancini complained a lot in private.
However, even so, he still made up his mind: even if he was scolded to death, he would not play in the Europa League.
The Europa League prize money is too small, the honor is too small, and the effort is great, but people take it for granted if they win, and if they lose, they will be considered to be their own level is insufficient, and he is absolutely unwilling to work hard. The competition in the league is fierce enough, even if the infamy is great, you can't compete for the Europa League.
When I was at Inter Milan before, I was cheated by Li Bin with the words of the season goal, no matter how I say it, I can't always be cheated by the same person in the same way.
While scolding Li Bin, another news related to Li Bin had also reached Mancini's ears.
Sturridge was poached by Tottenham and, according to the rules, if City sue Tottenham, they can receive a part of the compensation: probably £5 million.
"What's the use of £5 million? Now that the premium for Premier League players is so expensive, why don't we sign contracts with young players sooner? ”
Mancini's first reaction was anger, but after scolding, he also remembered that it was not that the club did not want to sign, but that he could not sign. Manchester City doesn't have much else now, that is, there are many strikers, and a lot of big-name strikers are in the team, almost all of them can't take their turns, how can Sturridge sign with Manchester City? On Tottenham's side, although the two main players are in a stable position, there is only one Husky on their bench - obviously, Sturridge thinks that although he is young, he is enough to beat Hesky in terms of goal percentage.
Manchester City's forward line is too adequate, and it is only natural that Sturridge will have to look elsewhere for opportunities. Compared to Manchester City, the amazing Tottenham Hotspur with a bad forward bench is naturally the best choice.
If it is not necessarily true that the poaching of people makes Mancini angry, after figuring out the problem, all that remains is the part that makes him happy: if he is also poached, and Tottenham do the same now, his pressure will always be reduced, right?
If you lose a striker, but you can take some pressure off your team, then it's very good.
However, to Mancini's surprise, the media did not say so, after Tottenham poached Sturridge, the media's evaluation of Li Bin was full of praise, "Coach Li Bin bought and promoted a large number of Premier League local players this summer, and his appreciation of local players made Sturridge very much improved after completing the transfer, which is a happy thing." ”
This evaluation surprised Mancini.
Why is it a good thing for him to poach people, and it is a bad thing for me to poach people? Mancini continued to look up to the sky and sigh. Could it be that when poaching people, as long as they are poaching local players, they can be respected?
In such a Premier League environment, why can't I play well? I should have known this, but why didn't I pay attention? I'm really that bad compared to him? ——
"Sooner or later, Mancini will realise the mistake he made. He's either stupid, or he was too favored when he was in Serie A before, and the road from the player to the coaching era was too smooth, so he rarely thought about other people's feelings when doing things. It's not all good to always mix in big teams, and this time, Manchester City doesn't have the power of Inter Milan to offend people, and he will know what it's like to say that. ”
Sitting across from Li Bin, Esposito nodded, "He really should have a better memory." The Premier League team buys people without him, all of them are aimed at their own leagues, their competitors buy, and they strengthen themselves by weakening their opponents, and after doing so for a long time, how can the opponent play? The level of the league has dropped, and there is no benefit to himself, why doesn't he understand? ”
"How could he not understand, it's just that the short-term benefits outweigh the long-term benefits, and he doesn't bother to think about the future." Li Bin said, "Give him a lesson, and that's about it." How's our transfer going? ”
"People have bought it, but these few transactions of yours are not very favorable."
"For what?"
"I'm too young to offer European experience. As you know, our team needs European competition next season, and you have to have European experience. ”
"That's true...... But we didn't want to win the Champions League, this season, that's where our experience comes from. And, on the Real Madrid side, is there any news? Hearing Esposito's statement, Li Bin also nodded and admitted his problem.
"Real Madrid signed Kaka, 65 million. Benzema also bought it for 35 million, and they also exchanged 40 million to pack Alonso and Arbeloa, leaving Ribery and Ronaldo, who are still ripping. However, it seems that Manchester United is almost unable to hold on. ”
"Manchester United was originally asking for a high price, of course it couldn't hold it, speaking of which, Bayern still knew that he had a bit of backbone and couldn't be the academy of Real Ama. Not to mention him, what about the new coach? Li Bin asked.
"Does it matter?" Esposito wondered.
'Of course, who their new coach is determines who they sell, and if their new coach is Carlo Ancelotti – I hope Carlo Ancelotti, it's good for him and for us – then I'm going to ask him for Van der Vaart. I don't think Carlo Ancelotti will want him, and if he does, we'll buy Van der Vaart. His level is sufficient, and the position is Yingfeng, maybe his value will not be low, but we have spent about less than 40 million now, and there is still money left, we can buy people. Li Bin replied, "Say, Royal Taobao Store, this is not to be missed, Iberia is a magical apprentice, if you want to save money, it is best to go there." ”
"Well, you might feel sorry for it." The door was pushed open, and the man who walked in was Tottenham's chairman, Levy. He spoke with some bitterness, "According to reliable sources, the coach contacted by Fiorentino is not Ancelotti, but Mourinho. ”
Jose Mourinho? Li Bin was a little surprised. I haven't heard from him for a year, and I can't imagine that he is a silent blockbuster, and now he has gone to Real Madrid?
"It is said that he claims to be the coach who knows the best about Barcelona's way of playing, and claims that he has the means to stop Barcelona," Levi shrugged, "Obviously, his agent is quite high, and he is indeed a good coach himself, and he is famous for his hatred with Barcelona, so he ......"
"So Real Madrid were tempted and thought he was a better fit than Carlo Ancelotti – and sure enough, Fiorentino's style of doing things." Li Bin smiled and didn't care.
This news was indeed a bit unexpected, he almost forgot about Mourinho, and he didn't expect to go to Real Madrid. Originally, Li Bin thought that without Pellegrini, Florentino would probably choose Ancelotti, so it would be very convenient for Tottenham to buy, but now it seems that the situation is different from his own plan.
"Don't you care?" Levy was a little surprised, "Mourinho has come to power, it's different from what you expected." ”
"What is there to care about, Mourinho is unlikely to be able to accommodate Van der Vaart, it is still very easy to buy, what is really worth caring about is that Carlo Ancelotti may come to the Premier League." Li Bin shrugged, "And, speaking of the news that Mourinho has taken over Real Madrid, or even better - have you ever thought that it is possible for us to buy Raul?" Isn't the media asking for Champions League experience? Let's give him the most amount! ”
