As the first round of the Premier League comes to an end, the Premier League teams have mixed feelings.
The two teams that performed the worst in the warm-up stage became the most eye-catching teams in the first round of the league.
Manchester City defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 away from home, and Chelsea defeated West Bromwich Albion 6-0 at home. These two teams, which were controversial before the start of the game, both showed their superior strength.
On the last day of the Premier League, Manchester United defeated Newcastle 3-0 at home and also scored three points.
In contrast, Liverpool and Arsenal feel a bit like they are in love with each other, shaking hands one by one.
After the first round, Chelsea jumped directly to the top of the standings with a goal difference advantage.
Carlo Ancelotti's team has always been the favorite to win the Premier League title this season.
…
Although the league has started, signings are still continuing.
After Ancelotti publicly expressed his favor for Santos' talented youngster Neymar at the post-match press conference, the outside world also became agitated about Neymar's transfer.
Some media revealed that Chelsea had directly offered Santos a sky-high price of 25 million euros, but Neymar and Santos' liquidated damages were as high as 50 million euros, which is only 25 million euros, which is really very high.
It was difficult to persuade Santos to let him go.
In particular, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City and other teams are watching with eager eyes. As soon as Santos lets go, they will immediately swarm him.
In addition to Neymar, Santos also has another young midfielder who has attracted the attention of many European giants, Ganso.
Neymar's playing style is a bit like Robinho back then. In fact, he was also identified by Santos as the best candidate to succeed Robinho back then, while Ganso's playing style is very similar to Zidane back then.
Therefore, Neymar is paying attention to European giants, and Ganso is equally unambiguous.
In the latest list of the Brazilian national team, this young player is clearly listed, and he performed very well in the warm-up match against the United States, making the outside world have high hopes for these two Brazilian internationals.
His net worth has also skyrocketed.
This seems to have become the norm for Brazilian players in recent years.
Ronaldo's gems were first, then Robinho, and now Neymar, all want to follow Ronaldo's path. The clubs they work for are not willing to pay low prices, but after a lot of hype, more wealthy clubs
The team enters the stadium and drives up the value of the players.
It's not just the club, there are many agents and third-party owners who are adding fuel to the fire.
As for whether the players can play well after arriving in Europe and whether they can meet the expectations of the outside world, who cares?
…
Manchester City is also interested in Neymar, but for Manchester City today, the most urgent thing is not to introduce foreign players, but the Premier League's seventeen plus eight policy.
After the team finished playing Tottenham Hotspur and returned to Manchester, Manchester City announced that they had signed a contract from Queens Park Rangers for two million pounds, beating out teams such as Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea.
He recruited local youth training player Raheem Sterling. This player who is not even sixteen years old is a talent that the whole of England is paying attention to.
In an interview with the media, Sterling said that the main reason why he chose Manchester City among the attention of many Premier League giants is that Manchester City has the best players in the world.
"When I first started to get involved in football, my father let me watch Su Dong's games. He was still in Portugal at the time, but I was very impressed, so I aspired to play like him."
Sterling said that he had almost had discussions with other teams, but after hearing that Su Dong came to Manchester City, he changed his mind. "I hope to learn from him. This will be a great opportunity for me."
It is a valuable asset.”
And the team Sterling said was extremely close to signing him was Liverpool.
For this reason, Liverpool also had a quarrel with Manchester City, believing that Manchester City's actions violated the rules, but Manchester City retorted, believing that they did not violate the rules and that the players themselves chose to change their minds and join Manchester City.
Although Sterling was signed, this player will not be able to play for the first team until at least the winter break. He must be at least sixteen years old, right?
Therefore, after signing Sterling, Manchester City successively scouted many players.
In line with Guardiola's request, Manchester City successively inspected Manchester United's youth training youngster Cleverley, Arsenal's youth training youngster Wilshere, Sunderland midfielder Jordan Henderson, and Everton player Rhodes.
Will wait.
Among them, the first three players are all players that Guardiola admires very much, but Cleverley is the youth training treasure that Ferguson attaches most importance to at Manchester United. Wilshere has high hopes for Wenger, who believes that he will become the future England world player.
How could they let go of a high-level midfielder with potential so easily?
Jordan Henderson was Sunderland's best player last season and the most outstanding young player in the Premier League. Manchester City really wanted to sign him, but Sunderland's asking price was too high and the two sides failed to reach an agreement.
This is actually no wonder.
The whole world knows that Manchester City is in urgent need of local players, and everyone knows that Manchester City has a lot of money, so why don't everyone just like Zai Kaizi and take over Manchester City?
After several failed negotiations, Begiristain changed targets and brought in versatile Milner from Aston Villa.
Milner's skills are considered good among English players, but compared with David Silva and others, there is still a long way to go.
When signing him, Manchester City considered many aspects.
One is that Milner is 24 years old and has many years of Premier League experience. Second, he is a rare all-rounder who can play many different positions, which is a very good choice in a team.
Although Milner has a small name, his net worth is very high, with a full 30 million euros. This price can basically sign Barcelona's Yaya Toure and David Silva back then.
In comparison, Toni Kroos, the talented German midfielder who is younger and more famous, only costs more than 10 million euros, only one-half of Milner's. He can be called a model of high quality and low price.
.
But there is no way. After the New Deal was introduced, England's local household registration book became more valuable.
After signing Milner, plus Trippier, Micah Richards, Michael Johnson and others who were promoted from the youth team, Manchester City can barely make up the eight local players.
However, Begiristain has put forward a plan. In the next few years, Manchester City will search for young players from outside to enrich its own youth training camp. After three years of training, these players will become the local youth training camp in England, which can perfectly avoid
A new policy has begun.
Not only Manchester City does this, but teams such as Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool all do this.
The current purchasing power of the Premier League is strong, not only for adult players, but also for youth teams.
…
As the captain of the team and the first batch of new players brought in after taking office, Su Dong fully performed his duties as captain.
He first called the two new players in advance to learn about their situation and the help they needed after arriving in Manchester, such as housing, transportation, food, etc.
The club has dedicated personnel in charge, but Su Dong personally intervened and showed his concern for the new players, which will be of great help in managing the locker room and helping the new players integrate into the team.
Among them, Sterling's request is more special, that is, he hopes to get a signed jersey from Su Dong, saying that he wants to collect it.
Su Dong was not stingy and gave him a set as a gift for their first meeting.
As for helping new players integrate into the team, this is a long-term process.
Although he is the captain, he is busy with games and has heavy tasks, so it is impossible for Su Dong to take care of every detail.
…………
…………
On the third day after playing against Tottenham Hotspur, the day after Milner and Sterling joined the team, the entire Manchester City team set off collectively and traveled a long distance to Romania.
This is the first leg of the Europa League fourth qualifying round.
Manchester City entered the Europa League as sixth in the Premier League. According to the rules, they should participate in the final round of qualifiers.
The opponent is the Romanian team, Timisoara.
This is a little-known team. It ranked fifth in the Romanian First Division last season. There are no well-known players in the team. Many players' names are also very difficult to pronounce. Su Dong can't pronounce them, so he can only use their jersey numbers instead.
However, there is someone on this team that Su Dong is very familiar with.
That is Timisoara's head coach, Vladimir Petrovich.
When I first heard this name, I guess many Chinese fans would not recognize him, because in China, he has another name.
Folado!
At first, Su Dong had no impression of him at all, but when he got Folado's resume, he discovered that he had coached the Chinese Dalian team and the Chinese national team, which surprised him.
After comparing the time, Su Dong confirmed that the head coach of Timisoara was Folado, the former coach of the national football team?
Before the game, Folado also had a special conversation with Su Dong.
The only common topic between the two is the national team.
Folado said that when he was coaching the national football team, he tried many times to recruit Su Dong into the national team. He even wrote down Su Dong's name in every training list, but he was always dismissed as
It was rejected by superiors on the grounds of non-compliance.
"I believe that if you are here, the Chinese team will definitely be able to enter the World Cup."
Regarding these words, Su Dong kept smiling politely.
Where in this world does it come from?
…
Although they had good talks off the court, Folado also frequently wanted to sell favors to Su Dong, but when it came to the game, Su Dong did not hold back. In the 30th minute, he relied on a free kick created by David Silva.
Opportunity to score directly.
After changing sides in the second half, Su Dong first assisted David Silva to score another goal, and then received Di Maria's cross and scored twice. In stoppage time, Gareth
·Barry's long shot penetrated the opponent's goal.
In the end, Manchester City defeated Timisoara 4-0 away from home.
This made Folado very depressed.
I dare you to talk so much and play the emotional card before the game, but it will be of no use at all!
How did Folado know that mentioning the national football team in front of Su Dong would offend him?
