Chapter 124: Blue Moon

After playing the game against Juventus, Tottenham finally got a respite, and Antienes was also very generous with a two-day holiday, which caused the Tottenham soldiers to cry wolf.

Being able to take a break, Di Gan is naturally happy, Park Ji Yeon has changed a lot recently because of her pregnancy, and she took her to the hospital, but people said that she had some kind of prenatal syndrome, and she was always moody, which made Di Gan anxious recently.

Fortunately, Park Ji-yeon's parents are by her side, otherwise, Digan, a big man, really doesn't know what to do.

Now Di Gan is looking forward to the safe birth of the child, and when Park Ji-yeon's stomach is gone, take care of that girl and let her know how her husband behaves.

After resting for two days, Deegan was also tortured for two days, but fortunately, Antienes was gracious, training as usual, in order to avoid being persecuted by Park Ji-yeon, Deegan trained himself like a dead dog every day, sleeping when he got home, and slipping away before dawn.

Then ~~~~~~~ then ~~~~~~~~

It's game day again.

After challenging Manchester United and Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur welcomed last season's champions, Manchester City, in this round of the league.

Immediately, a reporter updated an article in the newspaper: Tottenham will tear off the coat of Manchester City's pseudo-giants!

The content, the clichΓ©d comments, are just like the previous reporters who besieged Degan for not being in the Premier League style, and they were all those few words of.

However, there is one thing that people cannot disagree, when it comes to Manchester City, the remaining 19 teams of the Premier League, especially those so-called giants, have always been the same enemy.

Last season, Manchester City won the league title at the last minute, so that the Emirati's oil and gold finally did not go down the drain, but since the start of this season, Manchester City's record has not been very bright, and the league has only ranked fifth in the standings so far, and the chair under the head coach Mancini has begun to grow.

About Manchester City can be said in English football, compared to having Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich do later. Taiwan's Chelsea is even more unpopular.

Since 2008, when the UAE billionaire Mansour bought Manchester City with a lot of money, to his current position, with a large amount of gold dollars, Manchester City now has top stars such as Silva and Aguero in the squad, and the luxury can compete with any European giant.

Who is Mansour?

Manchester City's $20 billion worth of assets is almost double that of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.

In 2008, Manchester City snatched Robinho from Chelsea for 43 million euros, and since then, "Oil City" has spent a total of 600 million pounds to acquire players in four years, clearly telling the world that the UAE oil godfather is not bad for money.

Manchester City under the Golden Yuan policy, the effect is obvious, the most representative year was 2010, Manchester City smashed 74 million pounds to bring in Kolarov, Silva, Yaya. Toure and Boateng and other giants.

Look at Manchester City's current main lineup, they are all exchanged for a lot of pounds, Aguero, Toure, Nasri and Silva, and now Manchester City's main midfield, are all representatives of Manchester City's transfer market operations in recent years, spending a total of 150 million pounds on Manchester City, as long as the money can do it, it is not a problem.

Manchester City's crazy money to recruit has also created a "golden bench", worth 18 million Navas, 18 million Xavi. Garcia, 12.5 million Rodwell, 30 million Dzeko, 20 million Milner, and 24 million Lescott can only wait for opportunities on the bench, and they can't even touch the bench.

According to the statistics of the media before the start of this season, the total value of Manchester City's 24 first-team members has reached an astonishing 500 million euros, which is the highest in the top 20 of the Premier League, and among the four traditional giants, Chelsea is less than 400 million, Liverpool is less than 300 million, Arsenal is a little more than 300 million, and Manchester United is nearly 400 million.

At present, Manchester City, with high investment, still has the strongest paper strength to compete for the title in the next few seasons, and the Blue Moon Honor Room may have a few more championship trophies.

Relying on a large amount of money, Manchester City also had a real success last season, but with the arrival of honors, they have always suffered various blows.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard once said: "Manchester City can buy the title, but they will never buy Liverpool's historical achievements and traditions. ”

Rivals Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson said: "Manchester City can buy stars, but they can't buy the spirit of Manchester United. ”

Arsene Wenger said: "Manchester City are throwing money at the same time, they are also destroying the foundation of the development of football! ”

Chelsea's soul Frank Lampard was even more direct: "Manchester City is a cancer in world football! ”

It is not the first time that players and coaches from the big four have criticized Manchester City's money strategy, but it is the most unassuming.

After Manchester City won the championship last season, Liverpool, which has not won the league title for many years, has now even hit the top four, and there is a sudden change from sunrise to sunset.

Ferguson's special speech on "money can't buy the spirit of the team" was obviously not a sworn enemy in the same city, but the angry coach forgot that his clumsiest thing was to tell lies.

In the early days of the Premier League, he and Arsene Wenger quarreled, and then there was a Mourinho, and the lord shared the same hatred with the professor, watching the rise of his brother in the same city, and now he is aiming the gun at Manchester City.

There is a good saying that what people care about the most is the most inferior.

The Premier League giants frequently bombarded Manchester City for spending money on transfers, precisely because they had no money to spend on transfers, Manchester City could spend hundreds of millions of pounds in a transfer period, more than the four families combined, and what is more important for Manchester City to show off is that they have snatched a lot of their favorite players from these traditional bosses, and the blue moon can settle the account that has always been poached by the giants before.

In the Premier League, which has been monopolized by BigFour for a long time, more people want to see some changes, so there are Tottenham and Everton, who fought before, and Villa and Manchester City, who have been called for later.

Everyone knows that those big-name teams that can stand tall in the league for a long time are not short of money on weekdays, and they don't spend much money at the moment, one is because too much money has been spent before to make lineup adjustments, and the other is that the team's economic crisis has no money to buy people.

If you have the assets of Manchester City, no one wants to spend 10 million or 20 million on business all summer.

As for honor and championship, this is a game that belongs to the victor who has the right to write, and the replacement of history must always be accompanied by suppression and resistance, not that people do not accept it, but people are not used to it, and the Renaissance before the Industrial Revolution must be experienced.

As long as they can win the championship, those who say that Manchester City, which has strong financial resources, does not have much foundation, can talk about how much confidence they can have, which is as boring as accusing the United States, the hegemon of the world today, of not having much history.

Manchester City because of the intervention of the UAE consortium, after four years of strong recruitment, won the league championship last season, has become a world-class powerhouse, for Manchester City many people have their own opinions, many people think this is normal, but some people think that such a nouveau riche is not worth courtesy, and even more for all this has maintained a consistent disdain, just like Chelsea back then, now no one should say anything about Chelsea, on the one hand, because of Manchester City's "wronged head", The most important of these is because Chelsea are already world-class giants.

In fact, for Manchester City's performance, Deegan thinks this is normal, on the one hand, people invest so much money, because people have that money, on the other hand, everyone looks at the talents recruited by others, all of them are worth so much, so one has money and one has strength, such a combination abounds in life, why keep biting people are nouveau riche, and don't appreciate the way people play now?

Compared to Manchester City, it is Real Madrid's approach that is a bit inappropriate, when Florentino is in charge of Real Madrid again, people see that talent is being tapped from all over the world, this pure businessman, what he wants is only star effect, in order to be able to make enough money, can a golden mule really be worth so much money? Although Kaka is Digan's brother, but Degan really thinks that Kaka's value is still a bit high, with a Kaka, and then a golden mulro, the shadow of the Galaxy Battleship slowly appeared, at that time, as long as the player was rumored to be related to Real Madrid, then his value would definitely be ridiculously high, Ribery wanted to go to the Bernabeu at that time, thanks to the club's obstruction to stay in Germany.

Manchester City is really doing well now, spending money to buy powerful stars, not only to increase the strength of the team, but also to benefit a lot financially.

If you don't have money, you get angry that everyone else has money, that's why you have to be red-eyed, Chelsea and Manchester City have oil, Manchester United at least has a good business, and Liverpool only has a poor owner.

Moreover, the decline of Liverpool in addition to its own problems, the rich Manchester City's "contribution" is also very large, Manchester City has been grabbing stars all over the world in recent years, especially on the island to grab the household registration book, for Liverpool who has no money and no youth training is too cruel, the Premier League has a "TheBigFour" concept, not only the "top four", in fact, it is also the four Champions League places in the Premier League, participating in the Champions League in addition to honor, can also bring a huge income, but with the rise of Manchester City, Liverpool is now even hanging Champions League seats.

As a result, the Red Army Liverpool has suffered from pink eye one by one from top to bottom, and has been making a fuss about Manchester City's heritage all day long, in short, no matter how rich Manchester City is, it cannot be regarded as a giant.

Do you want to admit that Manchester City is a giant?

Does Manchester City qualify as a giant?

Any team that can be called a giant club has several common characteristics, first, a strong operation, management team and capital chain, second, unquestionable historical achievements and trophies, and third, a player lineup with both strength and star.

Manchester City's squad and player ability are indeed one of the few in football today, and a lot of money is invested to achieve this result. With more stars, higher levels, and better results, the team's fame and the number of fans will definitely rise, and the "third condition" called the giants will not be completely realized?

There can be many stars and a strong lineup, but without the support of a strong and reliable operation, management team and capital chain, sooner or later it will be over.

After Abramovich moved into Stamford Bridge, the first thing he did was to buy a large number of stars such as Duff and Bridge, but why did he change the manager after one season?

Because Ranieri's ability is still limited after all, or it is no longer suitable for Chelsea, which has undergone qualitative changes, so he can no longer adapt to the needs of the team, and it is inevitable to leave the class, and Chelsea has also found a more suitable candidate Mourinho. It was with the cooperation of Roman Abramovich and Jose Mourinho that Chelsea's glory in those years was finally forged, and since then, a team operation plan centered on the capital chain and the operation and management team has also come out.

Seeing Abramovich's success, there were indeed many imitators for a while, and Portsmouth successively introduced James, Kanu, Glenn. Johansen, Kranica and other famous players also want to accomplish their own feats, but how can they succeed when they only know how to spend money but do not know how to improve operations and manage teams?

Liverpool's management also promised Liverpool fans, what big stars, how many trophies and so on, how many stars came, but the management and operation of the team was a mess, and the dream of the championship had to be postponed again and again.

Now Manchester City not only has a sufficient capital chain provided by Mansour for the team to buy personnel, but also Mansour's unique operation and management methods created with the capital chain, even if people are judging Mancini's coaching ability, but after all, Mancini knows how to appoint and cultivate "his own people", so under the "combination of two swords", even if there is no guarantee that there are no flaws, it can be said that sooner or later it will all improve.

Looking at the only historical results and trophies that Manchester City has not achieved so far, dare to ask which team has enough accolades since the first inception? Liverpool? Manchester United? Arsenal? Chelsea? Who hasn't experienced a long period of downturn, slumber, gestation? As the saying goes, it is the same for Manchester City, in the past, the blue moon was not good and not strong, but now it has become a thorn in the side of others, a thorn in the flesh, and the heart of the traditional giants will definitely be very uncomfortable, after all, there is one more person who comes to share this cake, and there is less of what they can eat in the future, so what can it be?

Dare to ask where in history did the new aristocratic coups, reforms, and revolutions have not paid sacrifices?

Manchester City is leading a wave of reform of the "new aristocracy", the inherent order will definitely be disrupted, and constant questioning, abuse, and slander will definitely follow, but as long as they survive this difficult period, and accumulate enough records and achievements, who else will say this in the future?

Didn't Manchester United and Chelsea come from like this in the past?

Ferguson is not convinced because he can't forget the shame of 1:6 last season, but if you think about it carefully, in essence, this is just an ordinary Premier League.

Sooner or later, Manchester United has not had the experience of losing by a big score before, it's just a game, there is no need to take it too seriously, looking at the whole season, is the attitude of the club's top management and the team manager, the team needs to hone, the players need to grow, Manchester City can be regarded as "helping" Manchester United, Mansour's capital chain seems to have pointed out another way to build the team, isn't this good?

Moreover, the era of the four giants ruling the Premier League has been too long, and in the past, Leeds United and Newcastle United came out from time to time to stir up the situation.

For the Premier League, this is a good thing, after all, the ratings will be higher in the future, for the fans, this is a good thing, because there will be more exciting games in the future, and for Manchester City, this is even better, because finally there is the capital to dare to challenge the big four.

Don't say that Manchester City is a pseudo-giant, let alone say that Manchester City has nothing to show for it, after all, the current Manchester City has changed qualitatively, and it is no longer the "team of Robinho" and "Tevez alone", and don't say anything about Mansour will only burn money, because this is also a means of market competition, as long as you want to play like this, it depends on whether you have the money.

Last season, people squandered the money of the oil godfather to buy the league title, and the "blue moon" that Manchester United always called a noisy neighbor finally got his wish and hung high in the sky of Manchester, and he looked down on Manchester United, the 119th league title holder of English football.

Manchester City's first top-flight title in 44 years has left their own fans cheering and others dismissing the club's success, which has been despised by the hundreds of millions of pounds spent by the Abu Dhabi consortium.

However, while feeling the emergence of a new king of the Premier League, we can't help but wonder what the Jinyuan offensive can bring to world football?

Will Premier League teams be involved in military competitions to improve the league, create unhealthy competition and cause chaos in the football transfer market, or will high weekly salaries make players lose their basic loyalty?

Some people say that Manchester City is only Chelsea's second, and the Abu Dhabi consortium is just the Middle East's version of the Russian rich, which is all Abu playing the remaining tricks, spending a lot of money to improve the team's immediate combat power.

Starting with the 32.5 million pounds to buy Robinho, Manchester City has spent at least hundreds of millions of pounds on the purchase of players in recent years, and in addition to the transfer fee, Manchester City also has to pay a lot of wages to the coaching staff, players and staff, which is also a non-negligible expense.

Manchester City's "nouveau riche" rapid development model, although it has not been able to make a start, will continue to be imitated in the coming years.

The British are a very traditional people, from the birthplace of modern football, they can't bear their clubs to be bought by foreign capital, but in recent years, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City and other giants have been bought one after another, it is understood that now there are a number of British clubs coveted by large conglomerates.

This kind of "money football" game will become more and more popular after the success of Manchester City, and despite the world economic downturn, football club owners have decided that "if you put in investment, you will get a reward, and it is difficult to win the title without spending money".

Manchester City have spent a lot of money on stars to bolster their squad, and after winning the FA Cup the year before, they went one step further last year to snatch the Premier League title from Manchester United.

Manchester City's aggressive recruitment has indeed invisibly disrupted the transfer market and set up more enemies. This is also the reason why Wenger has not competed with Manchester City, Chelsea and other teams for big-name players in recent years, and the inflated value of players is only affordable by Manchester City, who dare to extravagantly press Tevez on the bench and pay Adebayor's salary for Real Madrid.

But people have money, and they can spend it as they want, and others can't control it.

You don't have any money, you don't have any eyes, that's the truth!

You're not convinced, okay! Spend money to rob Lao Tzu, what? No money! If you don't have money, shut up Lao Tzu!

And that's true!

So when something suddenly appeared in the media that wanted Tottenham to tear off Manchester City's pseudo-giants, such arguments, Deegan seemed dismissive.

Lao Tzu is not a pervert, what are you doing tearing other people's clothes!?

Besides, whether it is a giant club or not, it can be decided in one game, if this is the case, what should Tottenham count as a 3-2 kill of Manchester United at Old Trafford?

As soon as he arrived at the Bingfa City Stadium, Degan was surrounded by reporters, and the questions raised were still those remarks that made people upset when they listened to them.

"You should go to professional economists to answer these questions for you, I think they will be very willing to help you, instead of asking me these questions, Manchester City has money, how to spend it is people's business, your business, I think you people are full of food!"

Those reporters never expected that such a sentence would pop out of Degan's mouth, and they all froze on the spot: "Mr. Wright, do you mean that you also envy Manchester City for having a huge financial advantage?" ”

Looking at the reporter's expression, Digan knew that he didn't hold back any good fart: "I'm not envious, I'm just talking about the fact that other people's lives are better, and you feel uncomfortable when you look at them, right?" I don't know which club you represent, I only want to say one thing, mind your own business, how others can't judge you, that's it, now! I don't care about you! ”

Liverpool coach Rodgers also put on a sad look in an interview: "Degan is an excellent player, he can be called great, but his heart is not as clean as it was at the beginning, he was captured by money, and now he is full of how to please those euros and pounds, maybe he is already planning to switch to Manchester City and earn more annual salary!" ”

"TMD's fart!" Not to be outdone, Deegan immediately retorted, "What kind of green onion is Rogers, Lao Tzu doesn't know that little character at all, does he know me very well?" Even if I'm playing for money and it's none of his business, maybe he's angry at the fact that I chose Tottenham's 12 million annual salary and rejected his 8 million! A sanctimonious hypocrite, stop relaying his to me, it will only pollute my ears! ”

At the beginning, when Digan decided to leave Barcelona, people from Liverpool Club also contacted Zahavi, but they offered an annual salary of 8 million, and Digan didn't even bother to look at it.

has no money, and now put on a sanctimonious appearance to teach others, this kind of person, a hundred of Degan can't look down on.

Later, it was said that Rogers, who was scolded by Degan, almost had a cerebral congestion, but this is fine, at least no one will reason with Deegan on this issue, no one is a cheap bone, knowing that Deegan has nothing to say, he can still find scolding!

The reason why Degan is helping Manchester City to speak is not because of a temporary flood of sympathy, but for a purpose, although the current pattern of the Premier League is a group of champions, but the power of BigFour is still there.

Pull a faction, fight a faction!

But the only winning code in the workplace!

Although Tottenham is not as rich as Manchester City, in the eyes of those giants, even if they are not real tyrants with local tyrants, they are also preparatory tyrants with shit emperors.

This can be seen from the fact that Tottenham Hotspur will encounter misjudgments from time to time when facing Manchester United and Chelsea, and it can be seen that Tottenham is also the target of BigFour's suppression.

and Manchester City can be regarded as a sympathy!

Helping Manchester City, in fact, is helping himself, and looking at Manchester City's lineup, people look like pseudo-giants.

When it comes to the depth of the roster, even BigFour has to bow down.

Counting on Tottenham as a gunner, let Tottenham fight to the death with Manchester City, so that BigFour can take advantage of the fisherman, those so-called giants are too much to take for granted.

Naturally, the competition on the pitch is still competition, but off the pitch, you might as well get in touch with Manchester City and deal with the brainless BigFour together.

Tottenham Hotspur's president, Levy, knows this well, and this time Tottenham went away to challenge the Blue Moon, and Levy followed the team to the away side.

Seeing Tottenham and Manchester City eyebrow-raising, BigFour can only stare dryly!
