Chapter XXVII: 26 million

In fact, many people in the team, including several coaches including Diamares, as well as some knowledgeable players, are still a little worried about tactical training.

This set of tactics is indeed very good, everyone believes that as long as the team can adapt to the tactics, the results of the new season can definitely be expected, the only problem is time, it will definitely take time to adapt to such a complex tactic, and there is not so much time to prepare for the pre-season preparation, so if the team can't adapt, the results will definitely be affected.

However, those who really know the inside story are not too worried about Wan Sheng, because the club chairman Wald promised to give Wan Sheng enough time to transform the team, that is, there will be no problem with the team's poor results in the short term, as long as it is not so bad that it needs to work hard to avoid relegation.

Of course, what they don't know is that Wansheng is not aiming for relegation, his goal is only the championship, and he can only be the champion.

In terms of tactical training, Wansheng's killer feature is naturally coaching skills, "hypocrisy" to increase the effect of tactical training, can make the team adapt to speed up, the team to prepare for a month, is equal to two or three months of preparation, it still doesn't sound much, but which team can do tactical training for two or three months without interruption? This is not a retreat, and no team will have that time.

Therefore, the effect of the 'hypocrisy' skill is quite terrifying, and it is at least enough to ensure that the team can enter the initial adaptation to the tactics before the start of the league, and can put the tactical framework in shape, which is the goal of summer training preparation.

As training progressed, others were quick to spot the team's progress and were surprised by the pace of improvement, which they could only blame on the young manager.

He is the formulator of tactics, carefully explaining tactics for everyone, telling each player what to do, and detailing tactics to everyone, this kind of complicated and meticulous work. It's a headache to think about, but he's been doing it all the time.

This work will definitely make the players adapt to the tactics faster!

From this point of view alone, this young manager is indeed remarkable!

……

Soon Derby County had their first warm-up game.

In this game, their opponent is Nottingham Forest from the East Midlands, and their manager Hart is also an old rival of Wansheng.

Derby County and Nottingham Forest are both East Midlands teams, and they are also regional rivals, so it is naturally impossible for the two teams to have any friendship or any warm-up games, and Wan Sheng and Old Hart rarely talk in public, but in fact, the personal relationship between the two is very good. We also talked to each other on the phone about coaching.

Now Wansheng is coming to Manchester City is different.

He thought of warming up and contacted the old Hart directly, and the old Hart directly agreed as soon as he heard that it was a game with the Manchester City team led by Wan Sheng, which was a stressful warm-up game for Nottingham Forest, and it may also be said that it was very motivating, after all, they are only a second-tier team, and Manchester City is a Premier League powerhouse, and they can see the gap with the top league through the game.

The match is played at the Manchester Stadium and will also be sold to the public, and the ticket price is half that of the regular league.

It's just a warm-up game, though. But on Sunday, there were a lot of Manchester City fans who came to watch and wanted to see what City would look like after the change of manager. You can also take a look at the current situation of the team.

Wansheng still attaches great importance to the game.

On the one hand, it is to put the team into new tactics, and on the other hand, it is Wright-Phillips, who wants Wright-Phillips to perform as well as possible so that Chelsea can take a good look. Maybe they can pay a higher price when the time comes, so he has specially arranged for the team to play mainly on the right side to create opportunities for Phillips.

Wansheng believes that Phillips will be very good.

It's not just a matter of tactics being taken seriously. Phillips' own strength is also very strong, coupled with a bunch of attribute bonuses of coaching skills, union skills, and glory skills, Phillips' strength on the court has crossed the threshold of superstardom.

He's in great form as well.

After personal physical training, his physical fitness is definitely no problem, and his personal mental attributes, in terms of fighting spirit and determination, are also more than 80.

It can be said that the current Wright-Phillips has reached the peak of his state, and no matter how bad his performance is, Wan Sheng can only sigh, "This kid really can't help ...... up"

Wright-Phillips didn't know what Wan Sheng was thinking, but he had the same idea, which was to perform well.

He felt that he was in very good shape, and when he got to the field, he kept attacking on the right flank.

In fact, this is also the experience of actual combat after tactical training.

In the weekday tactical training, Wright Phillips also did a very serious job, as a right midfielder, Wan Sheng clearly told him when to let go of the ball to break through, when to pass the ball to his teammates, a lot of detailed things, Wan Sheng has made it very clear, he is now in accordance with the 'established rules' to do it, of course, whether he can do a good job depends on his performance.

When the team is playing on the right flank, Wright-Phillips becomes very important.

The whole team is based on midfielder Morris as the core, Morris's running position is also biased to the right side, and he has a lot of cooperation with Wright-Phillips, but the core of the tactics is rhythm, control, and passing, so Manchester City's overall offensive speed is not fast, and because of this, the role of full-back is highlighted.

When Wright-Phillips broke through with the ball, his pace was on display and the situation on the court became visibly tense and fast.

The previous Manchester City was like a killer hiding in the crowd, everyone saw the killer, many people also knew that he was a killer, if there was no chance, he would attack immediately at the first opportunity, but he knew that the killer had a public face, or not very noticeable, and some who were not afraid could watch it, but when Phillips attacked with the ball, it was like a killer showing a dagger, and the whole game immediately entered the tension, as if the winner was decided at this moment.

This has given many people the illusion that Manchester City's threat is brought by Phillips alone.

So every time Phillips got the ball, the crowd shouted a lot louder.

Manchester City still has overwhelming strength against Nottingham Forest, even if Manchester City tries new tactics for the first time, the whole team is not very fluent, the rhythm is not talked about or anything, and there are many mistakes in even passing, but. Nottingham Forest made more mistakes, and their overall technical quality was too different from that of Manchester City, who scored in the 17th minute.

It was veteran striker Andy Cole who scored the goal and midfielder Joey Barton assisted.

However, the goal had a lot to do with Wright Phillips, who broke down the flank, pulled back away the defender and flicked the ball back to Barton before Barton could find Andy Cole in the open space.

Of course, only professionals can analyze it this way. For the fans, this is the goal that belongs to Andy Cole, and even Joey Barton who assisted, they don't remember much, so their cheers are still dedicated to Andy Cole.

But then, Wright-Phillips quickly became the protagonist again, constantly attacking quickly down the flanks, with incisive breakthroughs and precise passes, threatening Nottingham Forest's defence time and time again.

The game was in the 30th minute. Almost the entire stadium of Manchester City fans was chanting Wright-Phillips' name.

Now the time belongs to Wright-Phillips!

In the 39th minute of the game, Wright-Phillips cut inside the middle and made a pass with Morris to find a good opportunity. He got up twenty meters in front of goal and sent the ball straight into the goal.

2:0!

"It's a long shot from Wright Jr.! He can do almost anything! The on-site commentator sighed excitedly.

The fans in the crowd also immediately gave their shouts to Wright-Phillips, and there was a group of fans in the left stand shouting, "Little Wright." Don't leave! Manchester City needs you! ”

The voice was very touching in this atmosphere.

Wright-Phillips celebrated the goal with joy as he ran underneath the fan stands to celebrate with the fans and hug his team-mates as he passed. He enjoyed the atmosphere and at this moment he even wondered if he should really consider staying at Manchester City!?

……

Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines and smiled with satisfaction.

The camera cut the footage, and the commentator who broadcast the game couldn't help but say, "It seems that Wan Sheng is very satisfied with the team's performance, and against Nottingham Forest, he can score two goals in the first half in 45 minutes, which also shows the strength of Manchester City......"

But in fact, Wansheng is most satisfied with Phillips's performance.

Now that Phillips has lived up to expectations, Chelsea would have liked him even more.

In fact, Wan Sheng was right.

At the Chelsea training base in London, head coach Jose Mourinho watched training while he also listened to Manchester City's warm-up game.

Generally, the live broadcast of the warm-up matches is a local TV station, and it is not easy to watch the game in London, so he can only listen to the radio, he listens to the radio for two purposes, one is Phillips, but just one Phillips is not worth it, the most important thing is that he should care about the preparation of the 'old opponent'.

Derby County 'snatched' his league title last season and Jose Mourinho is still holding on to it.

This summer, Chelsea bought £24 million midfielder Essien, £8 million full-back Del Orno, and Crespo also returned on loan, and the whole team has increased a lot in terms of overall strength and bench depth.

Both Chelsea FC and Jose Mourinho have only one goal, and that is to win the title!

If you want to win the title, you must not only be strong yourself, but also care about the situation of the opponent, the media supporting Chelsea believe that as long as Chelsea's opponents are Arsenal and Manchester United this season, perhaps Liverpool who just won the Champions League will be added, but Mourinho believes that Manchester City is also a threat, because the Chinese who beat him went there.

This is Mourinho's first failure in coaching Porto so far, especially involving a championship, he is angry about it, but this does not affect his judgment, the media said that Manchester City will not be too much of a threat, Mourinho also thinks so, after all, Manchester City's strength is there, and a manager immediately qualifies for the championship? It's a fantasy.

But there's always a case scenario!

That Chinese can beat himself, he must be very capable, he led Manchester City always have a certain threat, maybe they can't compete for the league title, but on the way to the league to encounter a little obstacles, such as beating Chelsea in the game, blocking Chelsea's road to the championship, this is still possible.

So Mourinho needs to care about Manchester City.

For these two reasons, Mourinho found a radio broadcast of Manchester City's warm-up matches to see how Manchester City is doing.

Nottingham Forest are a Championship side, although one level narrow. However, the top league teams are not guaranteed to beat the second tier teams, even if the victory or defeat does not mean anything, but the goals, the game situation, etc., can also show some of Manchester City's current situation.

What Mourinho didn't expect was that there was something that City didn't see, he only knew that Wright-Phillips was doing very well.

He was a little confused.

It's not that he wonders about Wright-Phillips, Phillips is the player he fancies, arguably City's best player, and it's normal to play well in games, but why did City let him play in the warm-up? Did they really intend to keep Phillips? Let Phillips play for Manchester City next season? Otherwise, if Manchester City are planning to sell Phillips, how do they explain letting Phillips play?

Thinking of this, Mourinho was a little anxious.

The new addition, Del Orno, is also a wing-back, but he has not been able to adapt to Chelsea's style of play quickly, and his ability to adapt to the atmosphere of the Premier League is also questionable, and Wright-Phillips has been praised by fans and commentators alike for his good performance in the warm-up game...... This genius must be bought!

At least. You must not put him in the hands of a competitor!

Jose Mourinho has made up his mind, and perhaps for him, the latter is more important than the former, and Chelsea don't have to be Wright-Phillips.

On the flanks they were Arjen Robben, Joe Cole, Damion Duff and Geremi, who excelled in all positions. Coupled with the newly transferred Del Orno, their wing is actually not so certain, it is best to buy Wright Phillips, and it doesn't matter much if you can't buy it.

But Mourinho has already seen Wansheng as a rival. Letting competitors lose strength and at the same time increase their own strength is the best deal. When he saw Wright Phillips perform so well, Mourinho made up his mind that such an excellent player must not be left to competitors, and Manchester City without Wright-Phillips, the wing is equivalent to no threat, now look at the Chinese's so-called fast attack?

Thinking about this, Mourinho feels very relaxed.

So the next morning, Chelsea raised their offer for Wright Phillips, which went straight up by £2 million to £25 million.

£25 million, that's pretty staggering.

Wayne Rooney's transfer to Manchester United is only 27 million pounds, Wright Phillips is impossible to compare with Rooney in any way, just hearing the news, Than-Nix and others are a little dumbfounded, they didn't expect that it was really like Wan Sheng said, Chelsea would increase the offer!

Bee Nix quickly contacted Wan Sheng, and Wan Sheng replied, "It's time to start talking, try to get some more!" ”

Bee Nix was even more dumbfounded when he heard this, and he felt that his professional life was a failure, because he found that a football coach was actually more like a vampire than himself.

However, he did not expect that the negotiations went smoothly, and when he proposed to add another 1 million pounds to the transfer fee, the Chelsea side actually agreed directly, which made Bee Nix feel that he was not too pure, otherwise how could the world change so quickly?

That's £1,000,000, not £100!

Of course, he didn't know that Chelsea's negotiators were coming with a bottom line.

Mourinho feels that Manchester City FC is likely to be determined not to sell Wright-Phillips, and Wansheng is likely to regard Wright-Phillips as an important member of the new season.

But think about poaching people from competitors, the cost is a little bigger, so the indicators of negotiation have also risen a lot.

Than Knicks only offered £1 million more, and they naturally agreed outright.

So Wright-Phillips' transfer, after nearly a month of delay, was finally negotiated on the third day after Manchester City's warm-up game. The two clubs agreed on a transfer fee, and Wright-Phillips soon signed a new contract, before Manchester City and Chelsea announced the news at the same time - Wright-Phillips moved to Chelsea for £2,600.
