Salgado, who is about to turn 32, joined Real Madrid in 1999 when he was very famous in Spanish football and was one of the most powerful defenders, and Real Madrid spent 6 million euros to buy him from Celta.

After joining Real Madrid, Salgado directly became a regular player, and he became an important barrier to Real Madrid's goal with his performance.

Most people know Salgado for his role as a right wing-back at Real Madrid, but what is less known is that Salgado was a winger in the early days of his debut until the 1996-97 season, when Carlos Santos took charge of Celta, and Salgado was placed at right wing-back.

At first, Salgado was very reluctant, after all, he is a winger, and the adjustment to play at the back is too great.

Carlos Santos convinced him with just one sentence, "If you don't change positions, you'll be a mediocre midfielder; If you change, you'll be a great wingback! Years later, Santos's prediction came true, and Salgado became a famous full-back in Spain, and Salgado himself said with a fluke smile, "Indeed, my choice is really not wrong." ”

Salgado comes from a winger's background, but in Spain he is notoriously desperate.

In 1998, it was Salgado's ferocious kick that ruined Brazil's chance to participate in the World Cup, and at its peak, the Spanish domestic media believed that Salgado's comprehensive strength was above the level of his predecessors Ferrer and Aguilera.

However, in the past two years, as he has grown older, Salgado's physical condition has declined, both defensive and offensive performance is very average, and his main position in Real Madrid has gradually been replaced by others.

Despite this, Salgado is an experienced and qualified full-back.

After looking at Real Madrid's 'list of possible players for sale', Wan Sheng quickly selected Salgado, who is currently not much to choose from. Both Lescott and Leto Ziegler are young players, although their performances have attracted the attention of many big clubs, but young people are young people, and lack of experience is their biggest problem, and the arrival of Salgado can make up for it.

Salgado's strength is also undoubted, although he can no longer play the main team in Real Madrid, but that is because Real Madrid has better players such as Robert Carlos and Siciño, and Wansheng wants to find a full-back. It's just a supplement to the lineup, and it doesn't require him to play the main team, so Salgado is enough anyway.

Salgado can only be used as a substitute in Real Madrid, the number of appearances is extremely limited, and he is not a big star, Real Madrid does not value this kind of player, and his value is not too high, and he transferred to Manchester City in the winter, just as a good addition to the team.

Manchester City are in need of such players.

Most importantly. Wan Sheng, as well as the entire Manchester City club, knows that Calderon's commitment will only work until the final round of the Champions League group stage!

So Wansheng decisively reported Salgado's name to Waddell.

Soon Wald called Calderon and told him that Wald was a little embarrassed to make the call, even if he was a cunning man. But Calderón's statement that 'Real Madrid can sell players to Manchester City' was just a kind remark, and Manchester City took it so seriously, it should be said that he took it seriously as the president of the club. But for the sake of the club, Wald cheekily told Calderón the result.

It is estimated that Calderon didn't expect that he was just showing favor and mentioning it to Waddell. Manchester City FC actually came to buy people the next day.

He really smiled bitterly in his heart.

But as a trustworthy businessman, promises must be fulfilled, especially Real Madrid is counting on Manchester City to help them get into the last 16 of the Champions League, so Calderon finally agreed after asking Capello for his opinion.

It took only one day for the two clubs to reach a private agreement - a winter transfer, Salgado will join Manchester City for 1 million euros, a symbolic price.

The job of convincing Salgado to join is relatively easy.

Now Salgado is difficult to play in Real Madrid, and the contract with Real Madrid expires in the summer, he can't wait to transfer early to other clubs, Manchester City is definitely a good choice, at the end of his career to challenge the Premier League is still worth looking forward to, in addition, Manchester City gave him a two-year contract, the salary is only about 30% lower than in Real Madrid, if he wants to leave Real Madrid, with the current situation will definitely not be able to get this standard contract.

So Salgado decisively agreed.

Salgado's transfer was made so quickly.

However, due to the fact that the winter transfer window will only open in January, the two clubs are still secretive about the transfer and have not explained anything to the media, except for the internal management of the two clubs and Salgado himself, no one knows that Salgado will belong to Manchester City immediately, so there is no wind in the media at all.

At the same time, Manchester City also have to fulfill their promise, which is to play a good game against Bayern Munich.

Wansheng will not be stupid enough to really take the main force and Bayern Munich to fight hard, so the gains outweigh the losses, rationally speaking, after this round of the Champions League group stage, Manchester City will usher in a derby battle with Manchester United, no matter how you look at it, the derby battle is more important, and it is even directly related to the championship situation after Christmas, so the game with Bayern Munich, just do your best.

So, how hard do the teams have to go?

Send a semi-bench lineup and let the newcomers go up and fight it!

In order to 'live up to Real Madrid's good intentions', Wansheng also formulated targeted tactics before the game, not for Bayern Munich, but for defense, Wansheng let the team choose a solid defense at Manchester Stadium - it doesn't matter if Manchester City doesn't score, as long as the opponent doesn't score, it is equivalent to victory!

And so the game began.

The Germans never expected the game to be so difficult, although Manchester City took away all three points in Munich, but this game is a chicken rib for Manchester City, especially Manchester City has to prepare for the derby with Manchester United after the game, no matter how you look at Manchester City, Manchester City will not try their best to play.

Manchester City really didn't give their best and they sent on the bench.

The players who could play all did their best.

These substitutes have managed to play in the high-profile Champions League, so how can they not do their best? They all want to play well to get more attention, get the boss and get more minutes in the future, so they're all trying to play.

Wansheng also specially sent a 541 all-round defensive formation, and among the four midfielders, there are also Boateng and veteran Reina, who are good at defense, and Manchester City's defensive solidity can be imagined.

To borrow a phrase from Jose Mourinho, "they almost parked a bus in front of the goal", Bayern Munich laid siege to Manchester City's half, and it was difficult to have any chances.

As a result, City held on for 90 minutes.

Eventually, with the whistle of the referee from Poland Shildo, the game was over, and Manchester City held on to the goal at home, and the match between the two teams ended 0-0.

Immediately after the game, the German media sang lamentations, and at the same time they 'sent' Manchester City with all kinds of angry scoldings, and ridiculed Manchester City must have 'taken the benefits of Real Madrid'.

They guessed right, but neither club would be stupid enough to come forward and confirm it, but UEFA wanted to give Manchester City a 'fair play award'.

The Spanish media praised Manchester City for their 'sportsmanship' and did not choose to give up because it was a chicken rib game.

Then the media gave a clear final result of Group G - Manchester City and Real Madrid qualified together, Bayern Munich was eliminated from the League Cup to play, and as for Sofia Rivski, they could roll up and go home.

But when the second match day of the sixth round of the group stage came, Sofia Riewski immediately became the protagonist, because they drew 1:1 at home against the visiting Real Madrid, this result surprised the whole Europe and even the world, and the Group G situation that had already had a definite result changed again, and the Germans who were still singing lamentations yesterday grinned, Bayern Munich qualified for the Champions League round of 16 with Real Madrid's mistakes, and drew with Sofia Levski's Real Madrid, can only cry and face the result of elimination.

"This is fate!"

Wan Sheng also smiled bitterly, but he was completely gloating.

Calderón worked hard to help the team qualify for the round of 16 of the Champions League, and even did not hesitate to let go of David Beckham on loan and let Salgado join Manchester City in advance, but Real Madrid dropped the chain and did not win away against Sofia Levski.

Who can be blamed for this?

It is clear that Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello is on his back.

After the UEFA Champions League group stage was over, almost all the Spanish media condemned Capello, and Real Madrid fans were also shouting for Capello to be sacked.

"The Italians not only made Real Madrid play ugly football, but also made Real Madrid lose the Champions League!" That's what the Spanish commentators say.

Then the Spanish media began to 'help' Real Madrid to find a new coach, Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho, Inter Milan coach Mancini have entered the list, the highest voice is still Wan Sheng, although Wan Sheng is very young, even younger than many Real Madrid players, but he can lead the team to play beautiful offensive football, and can also achieve very good results - won the Premier League title, and entered the round of 16 as the first in the Champions League!

"He's the best choice!" A lot of the Spanish media have made their voices heard.

Unfortunately, they can only make a sound.

Everyone knows that it is impossible for Wansheng to leave Manchester City to coach Real Madrid in a short period of time, and it is completely impossible for Real Madrid to be a 'giant of the century' and no matter how attractive it is. (To be continued.) )
