Lisbon city center, Pombal Square, Edward VII Park.
With a messy bird's nest on his head, David Luiz walked into this famous internet celebrity check-in place.
This was originally a famous park and subway station in the center of Lisbon. In recent years, with the rise of Sudong and Cristiano Ronaldo, it has become even more famous, attracting countless domestic and foreign tourists every day.
This is David Luiz's first visit to the park.
What he saw was a landscape in the park that was similar to Central Park in New York, USA. A large piece of grass, even in the dead of winter, still had a unique scenery.
The Brazilian central defender tightened his thick coat and came to the park's most famous place to check in, the indoor football field.
This place became famous because of the acquaintance of Su Dong and Ronnie, and was talked about by countless media and fans.
Everyone remembers that two world footballers once met here and began their magnificent careers.
Now, one is going to Manchester City, England, to emulate Maradona's great achievements in Naples; the other is playing for Real Madrid, the giant of the century, aiming to lead the greatest club of the 20th century to achieve renaissance.
They are already the best football players in the world!
At this moment, standing in front of this indoor football field, David Luiz could not imagine how those two fledgling boys trained hard here and eventually became the world's top superstars today.
Today, he has received invitations from many wealthy teams at the same time.
There are both invitations from Chelsea and hospitality from Real Madrid. Manchester City is also determined to win him. Even Arsenal has joined the battle. All these make David Luiz feel hesitant.
He doesn't know what he should choose!
I found a chair nearby and sat down, it was a bit cold.
Opening the newspaper I bought just now, it was reporting on his transfer. Manchester City's Begiristain had a private meeting with Benfica's chairman, and it was said that he raised the offer to 25 million euros.
This is already a sky-high price for a central defender.
Manchester City is generous and offers a very high salary, but David Luiz knows very well that Manchester City's competitive pressure is also great.
Pepe and Kompany are the best performing central defenders in the Premier League this season, Jerome Boateng also performed well, and Micah Richards is a young talent trained by the club. In this case
, David Luiz goes to Manchester City, can he grab a place?
After turning two pages, I saw another report on a Premier League match.
Recently, the Premier League has faced a devilish schedule.
There will be one game each on the 26th, 28th and 31st. Such a difficult schedule is a huge challenge for any team, not only the high requirements for the thickness of the team’s bench.
, but also requires the team to have a good rotation mechanism.
Obviously, Manchester City's main lineup is very strong, but the bench is not thick enough, so in the latest home game against Blackpool, Manchester City lost 0-1.
Manchester United won the ball again, causing the gap between the two sides to narrow again.
This is the last time that Manchester United has continuously narrowed the gap.
Ferguson's bold words to catch up with Manchester City during the Christmas and winter breaks seem to be gradually becoming a reality.
Guardiola's team has lost Su Dong, and it seems that it really won't score goals.
Just before yesterday's game, Manchester City held a brief signing ceremony specifically for Wolfsburg, no, it should be former Wolfsburg player Dzeko. The Bosnian center officially joined Manchester City.
If nothing unexpected happens, Santa Cruz will be sold by Manchester City, and the transfer fee is expected to be between 500 and 10 million pounds.
Professional football is so cruel and ruthless.
Benfica is Sporting Lisbon's rival in the same city. David Luiz often hears rumors about Sudong and Ronnie. His current teammate Aimar is Sudong's friend in Valencia. Saviola is Sudong's friend.
David Luiz got a lot of secrets about Su Dong from his substitutes at Barcelona.
This made him begin to believe that Su Dong was a born winner and that going to Manchester City was definitely not just for money, but something to pursue!
But can Su Dong really achieve what he wants?
Now Manchester United is chasing after them, and Manchester City has been narrowed by Manchester United twice in a short period of time. Next, Manchester City will challenge Arsenal away from home, which is likely to be another draw or defeat.
Can Su Dong really lead Manchester City to rise?
David Luiz isn't sure.
After thinking for a while, he finally took out his cell phone and called his agent.
"Get me a ticket for Arsenal vs. Manchester City, and I'll go and watch it!"
…………
…………
When David Luiz of Lisbon, Portugal, decided to go north to London, England, to watch this world-famous Premier League match, at Liverpool in the west of Manchester, Everton left back Leighton Baines received the call at home.
A phone call from the club's head coach Moyes.
"Sorry, Leyton, the conditions offered by Manchester City are too generous, and the club's current financial situation is very tight. We need this transfer fee income to make up for the club's financial shortfall."
Moyes tactfully informed him of the latest transfer progress on the phone, but there was no guilt in his tone.
Professional players are like commodities on the shelves of clubs. As long as the price is high enough, anyone can buy them.
Everton's financial constraints are not something that happens in a day or two. As early as that year, in order to make up for the club's financial deficit, they were forced to sell Rooney. Now they sell players without any psychological burden at all.
In fact, Leighton Bynes has long been mentally prepared for this.
"I understand, sir." Leighton Baines said, "I wonder if it would be convenient for you to tell me the specific transfer fee offered by Manchester City?"
Although he was sold, Leighton Bynes also wanted to know how much he was worth?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Moyes hesitated on the phone, and finally said: "Ten million pounds in cash, plus Santa Cruz and Wright...
Phillips two players."
After hearing this, Leighton Bynes breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that I am quite valuable.
He couldn't help but feel more relieved. After all, Manchester City had not treated him badly, and the reason why Everton sold him was because the conditions offered by Manchester City were generous enough, which is exactly what Everton needs at the moment.
In this round of the Premier League, Manchester City lost an upset 0-1 at home to Blackpool, but no one would think that Manchester City was inferior in skills. It’s just that Guardiola’s rotation was limited by the thickness of the team’s lineup and he was unable to play at home.
Stay strong.
Everton also lost 0-2 to Stoke City in an away game. Moyes' team is currently ranked 14th in the Premier League and has struggled to climb out of the relegation zone. If you are not careful, you may fall down at any time.
go back.
So far, Su Dong has scored 30 goals in the Premier League scorer list, but do you know how many goals Everton has scored as a team so far?
Twenty-two goals!
The team's top scorer Cahill has scored eight goals, the second-leading scorer Arteta has only scored three goals, the main forward Yakub has only scored one goal so far, and Saha, who transferred from Manchester United, has scored more goals.
It's a zero egg.
It can be said that Everton's striker can no longer be described as weak.
Twenty-two goals also put Everton tied for fifth from the bottom in the Premier League, similar to West Ham United, while the Hammers are currently ranked 17th in the Premier League, on the same points as Wigan Athletic in 18th place, and better than Vice Premier League.
Wolves and Fulham have one more point.
As for Everton, they only have three points more than West Ham United, just one game away.
In this case, in order to avoid relegation, Everton must strengthen the team's strength, especially its offensive strength.
Moyes hopes to use Santa Cruz and Wright-Phillips to strengthen the team's forward attack, which is natural.
Looking at the current Premier League, the only one that can provide forward support for Everton is Manchester City.
Is this...going to Manchester City?
Leighton Baines is a native of Liverpool and has been an Everton fan since he was a child. However, he failed to receive youth training at Everton. Instead, he went to nearby Wigan Athletic and later made his debut at Wigan Athletic.
After being invited by many teams including Sunderland, he returned to his hometown and got his wish to join Everton.
But in the end, he still couldn't stay with this team forever.
Leighton Bynes sighed with mixed feelings, this was his dream since childhood!
But soon, he regained his composure and had more expectations for the future.
Might as well go to Manchester City!
One day in the future, he will definitely return to Everton!

…………
It was already evening when Su Dong received the notice from the club.
Although he finally found some time to spend time with Wang Chuqing at home and enjoy their two-person world and candlelight dinner with her, he was still happy when he heard the news that the club had successfully signed Leighton Bynes.
Manchester City's recruitment efficiency is still very high. According to the transfer list given by Guardiola, the club is rushing to introduce players.
All that's left now is David Luiz.
However, central defender is not the most urgent position for Manchester City at present, and the addition of Dzeko and Leighton Baines is the key.
Bridge has lost the trust of Guardiola. Sometimes he would even rather use Jerome Boateng on the left than let Bridge play. The same is true for Santa Cruz.
Therefore, the arrival of Leighton Baines and Dzeko has greatly improved the thickness of Manchester City's bench.
Of course, these two players are also very expensive, but there is no need to doubt their strength. I believe they can bring strong supplements to Manchester City.
If they could join earlier, Manchester City would not lose to Blackpool.
Since Su Dong played two games in the three days between Boxing Day and the 28th, Su Dong was not included in the squad for the game on the 31st, and the team lost again.
Today's lack of bench thickness has become Manchester City's biggest problem.
The team was eliminated from the League Cup at the beginning of the season because of a lack of bench strength. Now it has introduced many players at once and spent tens of millions of pounds in the hope of transferring during the winter break to strengthen the team's lineup.
Reserve ammunition for the second half of the league.
After all, Manchester United has just begun to exert its strength, and Manchester City cannot repeat the mistakes of Chelsea.
Manchester City must win this battle against Arsenal!
