Chapter 280 New Season (1)(1/2)

Sun Jihai's agent had already called Sheffield United's agent and said that he would start negotiations, but at this moment, he received another call from Sun Jihai.

"Brother Hong, the negotiations with Sheffield United have been terminated." Sun Jihai said.

"Why?" Sun Jihai's agent Hong Tao asked in surprise, "Jihai, among these teams, Sheffield United's conditions are the most suitable. Besides, they tend to introduce Chinese players after all."

"Today I received a call from Mr. Cook, and he asked me if I would still be willing to continue playing for the team?" Sun Jihai said, feeling a little excited. No matter what, he has a lot of feelings for Manchester City.

"Cook?" Hong Tao was stunned, "Mr. Cook, the general manager of Manchester City Club?"

"Yes." Sun Jihai nodded.

"Why did he call you suddenly?" Hong Tao asked strangely.

"I don't know, either." Sun Jihai shook his head, "But, isn't this very good? I have feelings for Manchester City and the team is willing to renew my contract with me. It's great."

"That's right." Sun Jihai's agent Hong Tao nodded, "Then your house in Manchester..."

"Haha, take it off from the agency. Since I am still playing football at Manchester City, I naturally don't need to sell it." Sun Jihai said with a smile. He was in a very good mood when the club found him and renewed his contract with him.

After hanging up the agent's phone, Sun Jihai shook his head with a wry smile. One thing he didn't tell his agent was that he could guess why the club suddenly renewed the contract with him. The reason should be that it had something to do with his new teammate, because General Manager Cook said, hoping that Sun Jihai could help Zhang Yang integrate into the team as soon as possible.

Sun Jihai didn't know if it was because Zhang Yang spoke to the club for him, or if it was just that the club did have this meaning, but he knew that he had accepted Zhang Yang's favor this time.

Sun Jihai admires Zhang Yang's compatriot. He is one of the earliest Chinese players to study abroad and knows that it is not easy to play football abroad. However, Zhang Yang is able to create such a name in the football world and has become the best scorer in today's football world. Zhang Yang's 75 million pounds worth is enough to make Sun Jihai sigh for a long time.

He is indeed proud of having such a compatriot star, but he also wants to prove that he can contribute to the team by staying in Manchester City!

Of course, he was naturally extremely happy to have a compatriot in the same team as himself. As for what Cook said to help Zhang Yang integrate into the team as soon as possible, Sun Jihai naturally had no choice.

In fact, Manchester City suddenly decided to sign a contract with Sun Jihai, which really had little to do with Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang did not make any suggestions to the club. He didn't even know that Sun Jihai had terminated the contract with Manchester City club. Moreover, the training camp for Manchester City has not yet begun, and he has never met the whole team.

This incident happened very accidental. When Manchester City Club Chairman Alfaim was chatting with General Manager Cook, he said that Zhang Yang should integrate into the team as soon as possible. This is Manchester City's biggest capital for the new season. At this time, Cook suddenly said that the club seems to have a Chinese player, which is helpful for Zhang Yang to integrate into the team.

Alfaim agreed with this, but Cook then learned that Sun Jihai had expired and had a peaceful breakup with the club. When he learned that Sun Jihai had not signed with another team, the Manchester City general manager called Sun Jihai directly and asked him to return to the team. This was the whole thing. For the Manchester City general manager, renewing the contract with a veteran of the team is not a big deal.

Sun Jihai renewed his contract with Manchester City, which is just a small episode of Manchester City's action this summer.

While Zhang Yang enjoys his vacation, Manchester City Club continues to call on the wind and rain in the transfer market.

Now, Manchester City's forward line is Ellano and Bianchi. In the eyes of the media and fans, these two are not very useful. In the words of the Manchester Guardian, neither of them is capable of becoming Zhang Yang's forward teammates. Therefore, the English media generally believe that Manchester City must find a good partner for Zhang Yang.

In fact, Manchester City clubs have asked Zhang Yang about this matter. He didn't say much about the candidate for his partner. After all, he just came to the team and he was still unfamiliar with this team, and there was no constructive opinion. Then again, Zhang Yang likes to partner with Ronaldo, but can he tell Manchester City to buy Ronaldo, not to mention whether Manchester City can buy Ronaldo. However, Zhang Yang knows that Ronaldo will not come to Manchester City. Zhang Yang is still young and can make a living. However, Ronaldo is already thirty-two. His biggest dream now is to realize his dream of winning the Champions League. If he transfers to Manchester City, it seems that it is a dream to win the Champions League championship in a few years.

Zhang Yang had no special requirements, so Manchester City began to look for prey in the transfer market as per their own requirements. They first set their sights on Manchester United's prey.

After failing to pursue Zhang Yang, Manchester United had to change their goals. Now, the whole world knows that Manchester United is chasing Berbatov. From last season's performance, we can see that the only problem of Manchester United is that they lack a capable shooter on the forward line. Originally, Zhang Yang was the player Ferguson wanted the most, but when Zhang Yang went to Manchester City, Ferguson could only lock the target again. The whole world also knows that Berbatov had long "spoken" to Ferguson. Moreover, between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, it seems that this transfer has been acknowledged, but it is still struggling with the transfer fee. Tottenham Hotspur owner Levi may think that after Manchester United failed to pursue Zhang Yang, there is only Berbatov as the choice, so he is waiting for Manchester United to increase the price.

At this moment, Manchester City announced the bid for Berbatov.

As a pair of mortal enemies in a city, Manchester City is happy to do anything that can make Manchester United uncomfortable. In the past, Manchester City did not have the strength to go against Manchester United, but now that Manchester City has money, they naturally don’t mind disturbing Manchester United’s game.

Ferguson's Manchester United originally offered Berbatov 25 million pounds, which should be said to be a very good price. You know, when Tottenham Hotspur introduced Berbatov from Leverkusen, it only cost more than 10 million pounds.

However, Manchester City's sudden disruption made Ferguson very angry. It was about to succeed. Manchester City opened its mouth and raised Berbatov's net worth to 27 million pounds. Although it only raised 2 million pounds, this is also an increase in price, isn't it?

Tottenham Hotspur chairman Levi is an old fox. When he saw Manchester City, the "nova" to disrupt the situation, he was naturally very happy. He didn't mind selling Berbatov to Manchester United or Manchester City. What he valued was which company had a higher bid. Therefore, Tottenham Hotspur immediately rejected Manchester United's offer, saying that he would consider Manchester City's offer.

Berbatov originally discussed with Tottenham Hotspur Club and said he would transfer to Manchester United. Now, when he saw Levi 's jealousy' and wanted to go back on his word, he immediately jumped out for an interview. He publicly stated that "I won't go unless it is Manchester United." Manchester City wants to buy him? Let's wait for the next life!

At the same time, Berbatov even publicly stated that Manchester City's money can only attract players who have no use of any pursuit, and he will not consider Manchester City even if he beats him to death.

Well, I don’t know, does Zhang Yang think he was shot while lying down?

At the same time, Juventus' Italian goalkeeper Buffon, who has been chased by Manchester City, also announced that he was a Juventus man in his life and a Juventus ghost in his death. He would not leave Juventus. Manchester City wanted to buy him? Sorry. I would not consider it at all!

Manchester City is hitting walls everywhere in the transfer market, which also makes some people waiting to watch the fun very happy. They all said that Manchester City's money cannot buy real stars. At the same time, the saying that Zhang Yang is a person who is jealous of money and is knocked down by Manchester City's money and joins Manchester City, has become popular again.

Berbatov finally chose Manchester United, with the transfer fee as high as 30.75 million pounds, which ultimately came from Manchester City's two price increases. So, at this time, Ferguson must have hated Manchester City, and Zhang Yang was taken down by Manchester City. In the matter of Berbatov's transfer, Manchester United made another disruption. Can Sir Ferguson not be angry?

Speaking of which, Tottenham Hotspur is really the biggest seller in the Premier League team this summer. After selling Berbatov for a high price of 30.75 million pounds, they sold another scorer of the team, Irish scorer Robikeen, to Liverpool for a high price of 20.3 million pounds, and then spent 14 million to introduce Russian scorer Pavlyuchenko from Sparta Moscow.

Manchester City head coach Mark Hughes was hitting a wall in the team's signings, persuaded the club to be a little pragmatic when signings. Not every star like Zhang Yang looks down on Manchester City.

Then, Manchester City spent 9 million pounds to introduce Wright Phillips Jr. from Chelsea. Speaking of which, when Manchester City sold this person to Chelsea, it was sold at a high price of 18 million pounds. Now it is recycled and recycled at half price, which is a profit.

Wright Phillips spent 9 million pounds in Manchester City, and he is also the second player that Manchester City has introduced after Zhang Yang.

After introducing two offensive players, Zhang Yang and Wright Phillips, Manchester City head coach Mark Hughes focused on the defense line. In the last round of the Premier League last season, Manchester City lost to Aston Villa 1-8, and Manchester City's weakness in the back line was fully revealed.

Mark Hughes targeted Espanyol's defender Zabaleta. After some bargaining, Manchester City finally bought the defender for 6.5 million pounds.

Then, the head coach of the Manchester City club stared at Hamburg's Belgian central defender Kompany, who is the demon centre-back in FM. In the end, after several bargains, Manchester City spent 6.7 million pounds to get the Belgian central defender.

After Kompany, Mark Hughes once again poached people from Chelsea, and they spent £5 million to get Chelsea central defender Ben Haim.

While buying players, Mark Hughes is also cleaning up his team to clean up those who are no longer useful in his eyes or are not in his plan.

Defender Korluca sold to Tottenham Hotspur for 8.5 million pounds, Matthew Mills sold to Townscart for 300,000 pounds, and goalkeeper Isaxon also handled to Eindhoven.

Speaking of which, before Zhang Yang came, the richest man in Manchester City was on the front line.

They have as many as six or seven players on the front line, with a large number of players. However, last season, Manchester City scored goals by one of the teams ranked last in the entire Premier League.

After introducing Zhang Yang, Manchester City also began to perform major operations on the team's forward line. In fact, in the eyes of the media, it seems that no player in Manchester City's forward group is worthy of being able to partner with Zhang Yang.

Therefore, the major cleaning on the forward line began.

Italian scorer Bianchi was dealt with at a low price to Italy's Turin team; Samaras was dealt with at a price of 1 million pounds to the Celtics; Dikov made a free transfer to Scott City, Belgian Mpensa was also terminated by the team, and former Italian international Koladi also terminated the contract with Manchester City, and free transfer to Serie A's Regina team.

However, the media did not have much interest in Manchester City's small-scale fights. What they were concerned about is where the forward partner Manchester City found for Zhang Yang? Obviously, another player on the front line, Brazilian scorer Ellano, is not optimistic about the media.

Media speculation continued until Zhang Yang ended his holiday and returned to Manchester.

The Premier League was a league that started early, so the team had already started training in early July. At this time, the 2008 European Cup had just ended. This time, Spain had the last laugh. They defeated the German team in the final with Torres's final and reached the top of Europe.

This also makes people look forward to Liverpool's new season. With Torres, who is in a big state in the European Cup, and with the Premier League veteran Robbie Keane who has introduced more than 20 million, Liverpool's forward line is expected. Of course, in the eyes of the Times, Manchester City's offensive ability is also highly anticipated, depending on whether they can find a good partner for Zhang Yang.

On the first day of the team's training, Manchester City Club held a debut meeting for the newly joined players at the Manchester Municipal Stadium in order to build momentum.

This has also aroused great interest from Manchester City fans. Of course, many of them are coming for Zhang Yang. This is Zhang Yang's second public appearance after he joined the team a month ago.

Zhang Yang was the last to make a debut. In front of him, new players such as Wright Phillips, Kompani, Ben Haim, and Sabaleta have all made their debuts.

When Zhang Yang walked out of the passage, the entire Manchester Municipal Stadium was cheering. When Zhang Yang looked up, he saw the five-star red flag flying in the stands. In the background of a large blue main color, Zehua's bright five-star red flag was so conspicuous.

It is already a very common thing for Zhang Yang to see the Chinese flag in the stands. Whether he is playing in the French Ligue 1 Marseille or in the Serie A AC Milan, Zhang Yang feels strangely excited whenever he sees the five-star red flag in the stands.

However, at this time, Zhang Yang was also excited when he saw the five-star red flag in the stands at Manchester Municipal Stadium.

He knew that choosing to join Manchester City was incredible in the eyes of many people, and many people even thought he was crazy. Many people didn't understand, and many people criticized him for joining Manchester City because of money.

Zhang Yang knew that if he wanted to fight back against these doubts, he had to kick out a great future with his own feet!

He took a deep breath, starting today, Zhang Yang, your new road to conquest has officially set sail!

Zhang Yang walked onto the red carpet with his head held high.

Photographers around the carpet took out their cameras and kept pressing them.

At the same time, the entire Manchester Municipal Stadium cheered loudly, and the broadcasters on the scene were also shouting Zhang Yang's name over and over again!

For Manchester City, Zhang Yang can be said to be the team's biggest star ever!

As soon as Zhang Yang lowered his head, he saw many Chinese journalists, and there were some familiar faces here. The person he interviewed when he was playing football in AC Milan or Marseille. Of course, Zhang Yang's old acquaintance Zhong Dajun was also among them. When Zhong Dajun saw Zhang Yang looking over, he waved his hand at Zhang Yang with a smile. Zhong Dajun can be said to be Zhang Yang and a loyal supporter. Recently, in China, many fans and media have some doubts about Zhang Yang's choice to join Manchester City, although they also said that Zhang Yang was

It is very happy that the 75 million pounds worth has created a new record for player transfers, but they also believe that Zhang Yang's joining Manchester City is a wrong choice. In this team with average strength and no fame, Zhang Yang's future is not optimistic. Many fans even asserted that Zhang Yang will be able to stay in Manchester City for at most one season and will flee in a hurry, because at that time, Zhang Yang will find that Manchester City really cannot show its ambitions. In this regard, Zhong Dajun has been waving the flag for Zhang Yang.

When Zhang Yang walked to the rostrum, Alfaim came up. After the two of them hugged each other, Zhang Yang stood beside him, and Alfaim stood in front of the microphone.

He is going to make a speech. Although this is not Zhang Yang's first appearance, the chairman of the Manchester City club knows what fans like the most, and he doesn't mind introducing Zhang Yang to the fans again. In fact, introducing Zhang Yang is also the most proud thing he has been as the chairman of the Manchester City club. Just look at Manchester City's signings now, there has been no big effect. However, Alfaim believes that Zhang Yang's arrival is of epoch-making significance for Manchester City. He believes that there will definitely be heavyweight stars who can join Manchester City.

"Ladies and gentlemen, dear guests!" Alfaim said, "I am very happy that you have come to attend such a welcome ceremony. Welcome these new players who join Manchester City, and I am also very happy that Manchester City has welcomed these great autumn geese..." As he said that, he pointed to the players next to him.

Many players were pointed at by the club chairman, and their heads were raised.

The reporters below were in a commotion: "What did he say just now? He is indeed a 'great player', right?"

"Yes, it's indeed a 'great player'!"

"Damn, this evaluation is really..." A reporter shook his head and said disdainfully. Obviously, in his eyes, in addition to Zhang Yang, other Manchester City new players, whether they are Kompani, Sabaleta, or Ben Haim, have nothing to do with "greatness".

Alfaim then turned around and looked at the players and shook hands with the newly joined players one by one.

He finally shook hands with Zhang Yang and said to him: "Zhang, welcome you to Manchester again, welcome you to the municipal stadium, welcome you to Manchester City!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge cheer sounded from the stands. The cheers were almost the sum of fans' cheers for the players ahead.

Alfaim handed over the microphone to Zhang Yang. As the player representative, Zhang Yang wanted to speak.

Zhang Yang walked to the microphone with a smile.

"I'm very happy to join Manchester City." Zhang Yang said in Chinese. The Chinese journalists were stunned at first, and then laughed.

They thought Zhang Yang could speak English before, after all, English is the common language. Besides, this is in the UK. They would not think that Zhang Yang's English is not good. They knew that Zhang Yang's French is good, Italian is okay, and English is also excellent. However, they thought that when they were exported, they turned out to be a real native language and standard Mandarin!

Zhang Yang didn't seem to care at all whether the English fans could understand it. He continued to say in Mandarin: "Leaving AC Milan is not an easy decision for me. There, I have a pleasant season, I have a lot of plans there, and there are a lot of glory waiting for me to conquer."

When Zhang Yang said this, Alfaim's face changed a little. At this time, after Zhang Yang's words were translated on the radio to the fans on the scene through a live translation, the fans were also a little stunned. What is this kid's making trouble?

Zhang Yang didn't seem to feel the change in the atmosphere. He continued, "But after meeting with Mr. Alfaim, I thought about it over and over again, and finally chose to come to Manchester City. I know the brilliant history of this team, but in this long river of history, this team did not get more glory they should have gained. However, after studying the history of Manchester City, I maintained great respect for such a team with a long history. Mr. Alfaim described the grand blueprint for Manchester City for me. I was moved. I knew that if I could be lucky enough to join and create a great legend, it would be something that a football player dreams for the rest of his life! So, I chose Manchester City, and I knew that the same choice as me were my teammates, because we came together for the same goal, that is, for glory, keep moving forward!"

Then Zhang Yang raised his arms and shouted, "Manchester City! Manchester City! Manchester City!"

At this time, the atmosphere of the audience reached a GAOCHAO!
