"Manchester City still value you!"

Walking into the mansion that Mansour gave to Lin Quan, Pere said with a sigh of relief.

This mansion is located in the middle of a hillside by the sea in Manchester, with a wide view and a great view of the surroundings.

The price of such a luxury sea view villa on the market will probably not be less than 5 million pounds.

But Mansur didn't blink an eye, and directly gave it to Lin Quan as a meeting gift.

The shot of the Middle Eastern tyrant is jaw-dropping in generosity.

"Do you mean that or is it a purge within the team?"

Lin Quan knows a little about the transfers of Dzeko and Tevez, but he doesn't really care.

As long as the club doesn't sell David Silva, no one else matters.

"Both!"

Perret poured himself a glass of red wine and sat on the sofa with his glass in hand, looking at the interior of the house.

Lin Quan bowed his head slightly, poured himself a cup of tea, and sat on the sofa waiting for the next step.

Perret didn't come here today just to say something like that, he must have other purposes.

"Manchester City don't have a manager yet, Chairman Fahim wants to ask for your opinion, do you have the right person in mind?"

Sure enough, as soon as Pere opened his mouth, he said something that surprised Lin Quan himself.

"Ask my opinion? Isn't it up to the club to decide on this kind of thing? ”

He is a player, can he still influence the choice of Manchester City's head coach?

"Of course, the boss Mansour wants to bring in a coach with a tactical philosophy that suits you, so that you can get the most out of your abilities and not be out of shape at Manchester City because of the technical and tactical style problems."

Hearing Perley's explanation, Lin Quan nodded, signaling that he understood.

"Is there any shortlist for Manchester City right now?"

There are many good coaches in football, but most of them are famous.

Pep Guardiola at Bayern, Jose Mourinho at Chelsea and Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid are all not going to leave their clubs for a short time.

Ferguson is retiring and Arsene Wenger is unlikely to leave Arsenal.

The rest of the famous coaches who can be looked up to by Manchester City are probably Eriksen, Benish, Hiddink, Van Gaal, Ranieri and Pellegrini.

These people have contracts on them, but they don't play on teams that are big clubs.

Except for Monaco, where Ranieri is a little more troublesome, everyone else has a chance to be invited.

After reading the shortlist given by Perret, Lin Quan thought about it.

Originally, it was Chilean engineer Manuel Pellegrini who signed a contract with Manchester City.

The Chilean engineer's three seasons at Manchester City were a bit of success, and although they failed to win the Champions League, they finally managed to make it out of the group stage of the Champions League under his leadership.

In the final year, they even made it to the semi-finals.

And in the league, Pellegrini also led Manchester City to another league trophy.

However, judging from Manchester City's investment in the transfer market and the team's squad, his coaching results are neither bad nor good.

Thinking of this, Lin Quan decided not to interfere in the selection of Manchester City's coach.

Anyway, in his opinion, these coaches have similar coaching abilities, and whoever they choose is the same.

After knowing Lin Quan's attitude, Manchester City began to contact these coaches separately and sent them invitations.

Hiddink and Louis van Gaal both turned down Manchester City's offers, and neither of them wanted to leave at this time, either of them were happy to stay at Anzhi and the other was ready to attack next year's World Cup with the Dutch national team.

Ranieri, for his part, unsurprisingly refused, with Monaco investing heavily in the transfer market this season and their ambitions to make a big splash in Ligue 1 this season.

The tinker who has never fought such a rich battle is gearing up to do a big job, and naturally he doesn't want to give up halfway.

After a number of coaches turned down City's offers, Manchester City finally signed Manuel Pellegrini to a contract, as they have done in history.

When Pellegrini heard that Lin Quan had come to Manchester City, he readily accepted the invitation from Manchester City.

In his opinion, with Lin Quan, Manchester City's results have at least a guaranteed lower limit, and no matter how bad it is, it will not be much worse.

If he can adjust well and shape the team's technical and tactical play, Manchester City may rise in his hands!

After finalising the contract with Manuel Pellegrini, Manchester City quickly announced the news on their official website.

At the same time, the transfer news of Dzeko and Tevez was announced.

Although these two transfers were applied for by the players themselves, when Manchester City's official website announced the news of these two transfers, it still caused controversy from the outside world.

"Hehe, Manchester City is going to purge the team's old players!"

"Who told them to buy so many forwards blindly, if they don't clean it, I'm afraid Emperor Lin won't have a place!"

'I'm not surprised that Tevez is gone, but I'm surprised that Dzeko is gone, isn't he doing well at Manchester City? Why do you want to leave all of a sudden? ”

"It's not because of Lin Huangbei, as soon as he came, he snatched Dzeko's No. 10 jersey, and any player with a temper may not be able to stand such humiliation, so transferring and leaving is the best choice!"

"It makes sense, so to speak, Emperor Lin is still a team demolition maniac!"

……

Voices criticizing Lin Quan began to appear on the Internet, and most of these voices came from fans of other Premier League clubs.

For them, Lin Quan's move to Manchester City is definitely not good news.

Manchester City's increased quality means they will have a harder time playing against them in the league.

There are enough strong teams in the Premier League, wolves have more meat and less meat, and there are not enough meat.

At this time, Manchester City's sudden rise will only make the already fierce competition even more brutal.

So apart from Manchester City fans, it can be said that fans throughout the Premier League do not want to see Manchester City rise.

They would prefer to see Manchester City as an old and poor club, as they have before, and let their home team bully them wantonly.

Suddenly, one day, the small team that was casually bullied by them on the ground rose up and became the existence they looked up to.

This kind of gap will be unacceptable to many fans of Premier League teams.

As the saying goes, seeing others make money is even more uncomfortable for them than when they lose money themselves!

In addition to the criticism from the fans, the British media have also expressed concern about Lin's prospects at Manchester City.

"As we all know, the Premier League is the number one league in the world and the most competitive league.

La Liga players focus on technique at their feet rather than on physical confrontation, but this kind of soft style of play is difficult to gain a foothold in the Premier League.

Lin Quan's foot skills are indeed excellent, but his physical confrontation ability has to be marked with a big question mark!

His opponents, on the other hand, will be proud to knock him over and humiliate him on the pitch.

This can be very cruel for a young player who is not yet eighteen years old.

But this is the Premier League, this is the style of play in the world's number one league, no matter what aura you wear, it doesn't work in the Premier League! ”

The media on Fleet Street secretly said that Lin Quan could not adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, and insinuated that the Spanish players' style of play was soft and not a man at all.

When the British report reached Spain, it immediately attracted a full-scale counterattack from the Spanish media.

"Hehe, losers always like to put gold on their faces.

If the Premier League teams are so strong, they must have a good record in Europe, right? ”

Spanish media have attached a map of last year's Champions League quarter-finals.

Three of these eight teams are from La Liga, two from the Bundesliga, one from Serie A, one from Ligue 1, and one from the Turkish Super League.

As soon as this picture came out, the cowhide of the British immediately couldn't blow it down.

However, the Spanish side does not intend to let them go:

"The fact that the British media are reluctant to admit is that in the past few years, they have always had the upper hand when they meet Premier League teams in the Champions League.

Let's remind the British that on the stage of the European final, the Premier League teams have already given La Liga teams six consecutive trophies. ”

At this time, Spain's pass-and-possession football was at its peak.

Not only is the Premier League completely suppressed by La Liga at the club level, but at the national team level, Spain has also left the English team far behind.

"Spain have won two European Championships, a World Cup and a recent Confederations Cup, achieving a Grand Slam at national team level.

And what about the England national team?

With the World Cup in the round of 16 and the European Cup in the round of eight, we can't help but ask:

The strength of La Liga has brought the strength of the Spanish national team, making Spain's midfield famous all over the world, and every big team is proud to have a Spanish midfielder.

But what does the strength of the Premier League bring to England?

Apart from the fact that the England international has a bit of an advantage in his home country, are there any well-known players in other leagues? ”

The Spanish media fought back very sharply, and the retorting Fleet Street was speechless.

The England team, also known as the European Chinese team, boasted about their penchant for cowhide behind closed doors.

As soon as he arrived at the competition, he showed the true colors of soft-footed shrimp, and the kick was smelly.

However, the British media is very strong because of the use of English, and it has the right to speak public opinion.

Every time, they blow the sky of their own team, and even if they are slapped in the face, they will not repent.

……

"Don't care about these remarks on the Internet, this is the news deliberately spread by the opponent in order to disturb your mentality."

In the new season's intra-team training camp, teammate David Silva of the national team specially enlightened Lin Quan:

'When I first came to the Premier League, they weren't optimistic about my future.

I don't think a small, thin player like me is going to be able to get a foothold in the Premier League.

But then I slapped them in the face with a great performance, and they switched from skepticism to praise.

In the Premier League, you just have to play well and come out with real results and punch them in the face.

If you pay too much attention to public opinion outside the field, it will inevitably consume a lot of your energy, and even affect your mentality, which will affect your performance on the field. ”

David Silva, as a person who came over, passed on his experience to Lin Quan.

Lin Quan saw these quarrels on the Internet and the scolding war between the media of the two countries, but he didn't care too much.

From the moment he moved to Manchester City, he knew there would be a lot of controversy surrounding his transfer.

"Well, I see, thank you, David!"

Although he didn't need the other party's enlightenment, he was still very grateful for David Silva's concern.

In a strange place, someone can care about your situation, and this kind of friend is definitely worth making deeply.

"Hehe, don't thank me, I still have to rely on you for the new season!"

David Silva said to Lin Quan with a smile:

"You are the core of the team in the national team, and you are also the core of the club, and when you are on the field in the future, you have to take more care of your teammates in our national team!"

Hearing David Silva's words, Lin Quan laughed:

"With your strength, where can I take care of it, but I, who just came to the club, my eyes are black, I don't know anything, and I need you to take care of it!"

Lin Quan was referring to the situation in the dressing room, he had just arrived at Manchester City and had no information about the team's dressing room, which required someone to mention him.

"Hehe, I'll have a good chat with you another day, let's not talk about it yet, the coach is here!"

David Silva was also a smart person, and he immediately understood Lin Quan's words.

Manuel Pellegrini, accompanied by the club's president, Fahim, arrived at the training ground.

Standing on the sidelines of the training ground, I saw that the players on the field were training seriously and actively.

Pellegrini was very satisfied, he looked at Lin Quan, who was training with David Silva, and asked Fahim:

"How is Lin in form and what position does he want to play in the new season?"

He is new to the city, and he has not been in contact with Lin Quan, so he doesn't know what kind of temper such a superstar is, and whether he can deal with it or not.

So I had to probe Fahim in advance.

"Lin's competitive form is very good, his position on the field is not fixed, he can play in the front court, you can discuss the specifics with him."

Fahim is not a professional, so he doesn't interfere too much.

It's better to leave professional matters to professional people, and Pellegrini, as the coach of the team, naturally has to communicate well with the core of the team.

However, before the exchange, he decided to play a few warm-up matches first and see what to say.

It just so happened that Manchester City were going to Munich for the Audi Cup at the beginning of August.

The four teams invited for this year's Audi Cup are Manchester City, Bayern Munich, AC Milan and Sao Paulo of the Brazilian Liga.

The strongest of these four teams is Bayern, and the remaining three teams are all about the same, which can be used as a whetstone to test the team's form.

Of course, considering that Bayern are the freshly released Champions League winners.

Manchester City will be under pressure against them, so Manuel Pellegrini has not set a target for the Audi Cup.

Winning the championship is definitely unrealistic, just win one!

……

Manchester City were lucky, they didn't draw the big boss Bayern directly as soon as they came up.

Instead, they drew AC Milan, which is about the same strength as them.

AC Milan's record has begun to decline in recent years, and it is long gone to be the hero of the Milan dynasty of the past.

They only finished third in Serie A last season, and they also went out early in the Champions League, falling to the round of 16, compared with Manchester City, it is only half a pound.

Because the strength of the two teams is evenly matched, Pellegrini boldly adopted a 433 offensive formation in this game to play against AC Milan.

The game was intense from the start, and the Manchester City players didn't have been together for long.

There are two exceptions, Lin Quan and David Silva.

After all, Lin Quan and David Silva have played together in the national team, and they also helped the team win the championship in the Confederations Cup not long ago, and the tacit understanding between them is still very strong.

In the 3rd minute of the game, Lin Quan completed an assist on the side and helped David Silva score a goal.

In the 19th minute, Silva returned the favor and also sent a wonderful pass to Lin Quan to assist him to score his first goal for Manchester City.

Two minutes later, Lin Quan provided another assist for team-mate Kolarov to score City's third goal.

After just 22 minutes of the first half, Manchester City had already scored three goals in a row to open AC Milan.

The team's strong offensive firepower in the front court not only surprised the AC Milan manager, but even surprised Manchester City's coach Manuel Pellegrini himself!

Before he came to Manchester City, he thought that Lin Quan's strength was very strong.

However, when he really saw Lin Quan playing on the field, he realized that he still underestimated the other party.

Lin Quan is even stronger than he imagined!

This made Pellegrini very excited, and it looked like he had to redefine his goals for the new season.

With Manchester City's current strength on paper, it seems that winning the league, qualifying for the Champions League group and even reaching the quarterfinals can be expected!

If they're lucky enough not to meet the kind of top giants in the knockout stages of the Champions League, maybe they can make it to the semi-finals?
