"According to the reliable information we have received, Hidalgo, the agent of Genoa's Argentine center Diego Milito, is now in London and has met with people from Manchester United. I don't know how the talks went."
At noon, Gao Shen met with Carlo, Sarri and Lucas and other members of the coaching staff in a high-end restaurant in Alderley Edge. They heard that the food here was delicious, so Gao Shen paid for them out of his own pocket.
Have a meal.
Fernando Lucas was reporting on the intelligence he had just received around noon.
"Diego Milito?" Gao Shen was surprised.
He found that the current trend of the Premier League and even European football was completely beyond his expectation.
The biggest variable in the Premier League is Liverpool. Biglia has taken Xabi Alonso's place, and Liverpool's strength has greatly increased.
Manchester City did not poach Arsenal, and the Gunners are still strong.
In La Liga, Di Maria moved to Real Madrid, Sanchez went to Barcelona, plus Thiago Motta and Vargas, which resulted in Barcelona now having no funds to operate Ibrahimovic.
and Zyglinski.
In other words, the two most failed signings during Guardiola's tenure at Barcelona have not happened yet.
But this caused a whole chain reaction.
If Ibrahimovic didn't go to Barcelona, it would be impossible for Eto'o to go to Inter Milan, and Guardiola would have to continue to make do with him.
If the Swedish center does not transfer, then it will be impossible for Inter Milan to introduce Diego Milito.
Therefore, Genoa's center is still at Genoa.
Gao Shen has completely failed to understand that Mourinho's current Inter Milan has many fewer people than in his previous life, especially the most important ones, such as Diego Milito at the center and Sneijder at the midfield.
and Thiago Motta are now gone.
Among them, Sneijder's position was replaced by Moutinho.
Inter Milan almost lured Deco from Chelsea this summer, but Ancelotti strongly insisted on keeping Deco.
Therefore, Gao Shen has no idea whether Inter Milan can win the Champions League this season.
Unless Ibrahimovic can really break through the bottleneck and escape the tragic fate of the Champions League, Inter Milan may not have a chance.
Under the butterfly effect, Diego Milito is now a widower, and his agent's appearance in London is a big signal in itself, because in today's European football, only the Premier League teams can afford him.
.
Juventus still has some money, but what they want more is Manchester United's beast Carlos Tevez.
If Manchester United really brings in Diego Milito, Berbatov's situation will probably be even worse.
There is no doubt about the strength of the Bulgarian center, but he is just too lazy.
To use the media's words of ridicule, Berbatov ran even less than Neuer, which is simply outrageous.
Sometimes, Gao Shen really can't understand the thoughts of some players. He can only say that character determines destiny.
Whether he was working in a company in his previous life or teaching now, Gao Shen has seen too many people like this.
…
"Are you sure you want to introduce Diego Milito?" Carlo asked with concern.
Ferguson obviously still uses the center to feed the midfielder.
"There is no further news yet, but the feedback I got from Hidalgo is that Manchester United is very interested, and Diego Milito also hopes to join the Premier League, but no one knows until the last minute."
All plans are made, the transfer market is closed as of today.
Gao Shen doesn't know if there will be problems with the fax machine or other machines.
"But that's not the highlight."
As soon as Lucas finished speaking, the attention of Gao Shen and others was immediately attracted.
"According to the information I have received, Manchester United has already begun operations to bring in Sneijder from Real Madrid."
"Sneijder?" Gao Shen was even more surprised.
Due to the presence of Moutinho, Sneijder did not transfer to Inter Milan. He is still suffering at Real Madrid.
After Robben's transfer, Sneijder was also put on the transfer market, but the Dutchman has been unable to find a new home.
This is mainly related to his performance in Real Madrid.
If Robben's stay at Real Madrid was more due to injuries, then Sneijder's performance was indeed quite poor. There were also reports that he wandered into nightclubs after his divorce.
Players like this are even more worrying.
"Manchester United often plays four-four-two now. Is there a place for Sneijder in the midfield?" Carlo asked with a frown.
Everyone looked at Gao Shen.
I don't know since when, they all believed in their profound tactical attainments.
"The most threatening thing about Sneijder is his late attack, long-range shots, and his passing, but he definitely can't play in the middle of the two midfielders in a 4-4-2 position," Gao Shen analyzed.
Manchester United's 442 is not Chelsea's diamond position, but a configuration of two central midfielders, or a double midfielder configuration. The requirement for the central midfielder is that he must have defensive capabilities, at least like Carrick and
Anderson does this.
Even, many times, Ferguson was worried about letting Giggs and Scholes play in the middle of the 4-4-2.
Sneijder has a certain defensive ability, but he is not strong and his enthusiasm is not particularly high, so he is not suitable for playing four-four-two.
But since he was born in Ajax, he is very suitable to play in the four-three-three, or the attacking midfielder position in the four-two-three-one.
"Manchester United insisted on using two sets of tactics in rotation last season. 4-2-3-1 is also a common tactic of Ferguson. Bringing in Sneijder and playing 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 is also a good choice for Manchester United."
Gao Shen analyzed it.
Everyone understood.
"But do Manchester United have that much money now?" Lucas asked.
Both Sneijder and Diego Milito are not cheap, especially Diego Milito. This Argentine center has performed very well in Serie A. Although his price is not as high as Cavani's, it is definitely not low.
This is why no one dares to pay attention to him until now.
"This depends on Ferguson's ability to convince the management to pay. Also, selling Tevez can also get a sum of money back. It depends on whether he can withhold the money and spend it in the transfer market.
Already."
Unlike the previous time when Tevez was on loan from West Ham United and was at Manchester United, Tevez has long since been bought out by Manchester United. However, the Argentine Beast and Ferguson now have many conflicts.
Manchester United is now heavily in debt.
After the Glazer family used financial means to acquire Manchester City, it has now transferred all its debts to Manchester United. That's why Gao Shen said before that Manchester United is the team with the highest debt in the Premier League today and has no right to blame Manchester City.
There is news that the Glazer family has no plans to invest any more money from selling Ronaldo, except for Valencia.
"Ferguson does feel threatened!" Gao Shen said to his assistants with a smile.
With the rise of Manchester City, the competition for the top four in the Premier League in the new season will be unprecedentedly fierce.
With both traditional strong teams like Tottenham Hotspur and upstarts like Manchester City, plus teams such as Aston Villa and Everton, the top four in the Premier League in the new season will be a sea of blood.
Nowadays, both Manchester City and Tottenham have won four consecutive games. Although this is due to the schedule, the strength of both teams has been revealed.
For teams like Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea, the threat is real.
With their current strength and status, who can guarantee that they will be in the top four?
Not to mention them, even the most advanced people don't dare to be careless now.
The competition in the Premier League is so fierce. If you are not careful, your tower may be stolen in any minute. Who dares to say that you are 100% sure?
Manchester United didn't want to sign any players before because Ferguson was confident, but after four rounds, the old Jazz was probably scared.
"This proves that we have done a good job." Gao Shen said cheerfully.
Manchester United's strengthening of strength may make other people feel disappointed, or feel pressure and threats, but for Gao Shen, he does not feel sad at all, but thinks it is a good thing.
When he came to the Premier League, he wanted to challenge more and stronger opponents.
Whether on the professional football field or on the road of life, never be afraid of strong enemies or difficulties.
Life is like sailing against the current, there is no such thing as lying flat.
Only by constantly challenging difficulties can you live a wonderful and fulfilling life.
…
When Gao Shen and his assistants finished lunch and were intensively studying the afternoon plan, Lucas received news from Madrid.
Sneijder joined Manchester United with a transfer fee of 15 million euros!
On the last day before the transfer market closed, the Red Devils successfully signed the Dutch midfielder from Real Madrid. This was also a signing for Ferguson to strengthen the team's midfield.
This transfer quickly caused quite a stir in the Premier League.
Sneijder himself is very good. After joining Manchester United, if he can regain his form, I believe it will greatly improve Manchester United's midfield passing ability. Some media even believe that Sneijder's arrival will replace Scholes and become Manchester United's leading player.
The well-deserved core player in the midfield.
However, until the evening, there was still no news about the progress of another transfer.
The Sun, which is best at digging up transfer news, revealed that Manchester United did meet with Diego Milito and the Argentine center's agent Hidalgo and reached a consensus, but encountered obstacles in the negotiations with Genoa.
One is the transfer fee. Manchester United offered 20 million euros, but Genoa demanded at least 25 million euros. There was a full 5 million euros difference in price, which is also a considerable gap.
In addition, Manchester United's installment payment method is unacceptable to Genoa.
The Sun broke the news that the differences between the two parties are difficult to make up, and the key point is that the Glazer family, the owners behind Manchester United, are not willing to spend a lot of money on signings. They have the funds to buy Sneijder, or they should sell Tevez to Juventus after Manchester United.
It was raised later.
The Argentine striker was sold for 25 million euros, and the introduction of Sneijder cost 15 million euros, from which the Glazer family took another 10 million euros.
As for bringing in Diego Milito, and also want to dig out more money from the Glazer family?
Don’t even think about it!
Until the transfer market was completely closed, no further news came out.
On the last day before the transfer market closed, Manchester United completed two blockbuster transfers for Sneijder and Carlos Tevez.
Especially the joining of Sneijder has further improved Manchester United's midfield strength.
