842 The whole world owes him a Golden Globe Award!
As the saying goes, blessings never come in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone.
When Wenger was interviewed after the game, he had just proposed to discuss the transfer of David Luiz with Benfica. As a result, the day after the disastrous defeat, the Portuguese media broke the news that Benfica had officially accepted the offer from Manchester City.
Quotation.
"David Luiz told Benfica's management through his agent that he hoped the club would seriously consider the offer from Manchester City. Among teams such as Chelsea, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Manchester City, David Luiz chose to join Manchester City."
"This means that David Luiz will meet the challenges from Pepe, Kompany and Jerome Boateng."
Manchester City has gathered four central defenders, which is inseparable from Guardiola's tactics.
Guardiola, who is deeply influenced by Dutch football and Italian football, is still a very traditional head coach at heart, so his team formation model is also very traditional, that is, focusing on both ends.
The frontcourt is the center and the backcourt is the center back.
After determining the two ends, piece together the other positions.
With a superstar like Su Dong at the center, the central defender position is what Guardiola is most concerned about.
It is true that Pepe and Kompany are the best central defenders in the Premier League this season, but the problem is that they play too many games and consume too much, so they need someone to share their game pressure.
Micah Richards has proven to be unable to be reused. Only a versatile player like Jerome Boateng is not enough, so the introduction of another David Luiz has become inevitable.
This transfer will cost Manchester City a transfer fee of 25 million pounds, which is already an astonishingly high-priced transfer.
Manchester City technical director Begiristain personally rushed to Lisbon, Portugal, to discuss personal treatment with David Luiz's agent.
Su Dong, through the media and on behalf of the locker room, sent a warm signal to David Luiz and welcomed him to join Manchester City.
Wenger, who was far away in London, was once again so angry that he vomited blood.
It failed miserably on the pitch and also failed miserably in the transfer market.
Damn it, I can’t live this life!
…
Manchester City has a lot of transfer activity during the winter break.
In addition to De Bruyne and Courtois, who were loaned back to Genk in Belgium after the buyout, Manchester City signed Leighton Baines from Everton, Thiago from Barcelona, and Wolf from
Fortuna signed Dzeko, and now they have signed David Luiz from Benfica, both of whom are young talents with a high price tag.
This also allowed Manchester City to once again invest heavily in the transfer market, becoming the team that invested the most in transfers during the winter break.
Fans all over the world not only lamented the level of wealthy people in Manchester City, but also saw Manchester City's ambition to win the championship and Mansour's determination to run Manchester City for a long time.
Who is willing to invest so much if you don’t want long-term business?
Manchester City's management also demonstrated its operational capabilities and shrewd negotiation efficiency this time.
The transfer market has just opened during the winter break, and they have already signed the players they want in one go. This speed is unmatched by other teams. Of course, it is backed by the strong financial resources of the Abu Dhabi consortium, and the management
His shrewdness and negotiation also contributed greatly.
After signing a number of players, Manchester City also began to purge the players in the team, including Micah Richards, Bridge and other players. They are no longer in Guardiola's plan. The club plans to move these players
Player cleaning.
In addition, the club has lost patience with a group of young players such as Michael Johnson and is preparing to sell them.
Michael Johnson was once a leader in Manchester City's youth training and a symbol of youth training. He was even regarded as a genius for a time. However, due to various factors such as injuries, his development did not meet the expectations of the outside world, and he eventually disappeared.
But everyone.
Under this series of operations, Manchester City's lineup has basically maintained the same number of players, but its overall strength has improved to a higher level.
In particular, the joining of Leighton Baines, who is both a local resident and a strong support, is of great help to Manchester City.

Over the weekend, Manchester City ushered in the third knockout round of the English FA Cup.
This is also the first FA Cup match played by a Premier League team. Manchester City is away to challenge Leicester City, a mid-table team in the English Championship.
Since it was a cup match and they had just beaten Arsenal in the league, Manchester City did not try their best. Instead, they arranged a rotation and substitute lineup to play away games, leaving Su Dong and other main core players in Manchester.
Guardiola obviously wants to use the FA Cup to inspect players, especially the new players.
Dzeko, Thiago, Leighton Baines and David Luiz all played. Among them, David Luiz only trained with the team for one day before being arranged to partner with Jerome Boateng.
Central defender.
As a result, less than a minute into the game, the two central defenders made a mistake in cooperation, causing Leicester City to fall into a goal.
Manchester City then patiently controlled the game.
Midfielder Thiago is responsible for holding back, while Moutinho and Gareth Barry advance forward. Guardiola hopes to maximize Thiago's strength, especially his ability to control the midfield.
The midfielder from Barcelona also performed well and showed a very good level.
In the 23rd minute, Dzeko received a pass from Moutinho and sent a through ball. Milner broke into the penalty area and hit the goal, equalizing the score for Manchester City.
After changing sides in the second half, Manchester City launched a wave of attacks as soon as the game started. Milner made a pass from the right, and Dzeko scored in the penalty area, giving Manchester City the lead.
But in the 64th minute, Joe Hart received the ball from the wing and let go, and the opponent seized the opportunity to score.
The England international goalkeeper is also performing very inconsistently and has become a major hidden danger in Manchester City's lineup.
Guardiola has made it clear that after the end of this season, Manchester City will retrieve Courtois from Genk, Belgium. He will personally sculpt the Belgian goalkeeper and transform him into the type of goalkeeper the team needs as much as possible.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just when everyone was worried that Manchester City would draw with Leicester City and the two sides were going to play a play-off match, in the 87th minute, Milner was on the left
After the breakthrough, Dzeko crossed the ball to the goal, and Gareth Barry followed up and scored with an angry shot, giving Manchester City the lead again.
Three to two, this score remained until the end.
Manchester City narrowly defeated Leicester City in the end.
By the way, youngster Sterling came on in the second half to replace Adam Johnson.
…
Although it is only one game, many clues can be seen.
Manchester City's recruitment is still based on the team's philosophy and continues in the same vein.
Whether it is Thiago, Leighton Baines, or Dzeko and David Luiz, their technical characteristics are very suitable for Guardiola's Manchester City, and they have also shown very good strength and potential in the game, which is surprising.
Believe in their future at Manchester City.
But the two goals conceded are also the second most goals conceded by Manchester City this season.
The game that conceded the most goals was against Arsenal, with three goals conceded, but that was due to a red card received in the first four minutes and a penalty kick in stoppage time in the first half.
Judging from the two goals conceded, the most important thing is the lack of tacit understanding and the old problem of goalkeeping.
Neither Joe Hart nor Given Madou is satisfactory.
At least, they don't appear to be in a stable state.
Guardiola praised several new players at the post-match press conference, while also tactfully criticizing Joe Hart's mistakes, believing that this should not happen to the Manchester City goalkeeper.
It's not that you can't make mistakes, but you can't make such low-level mistakes.
The outside world still gives positive feedback to Manchester City's performance. After all, they just defeated Arsenal and played with a full substitute lineup.
If the 9-1 away victory over Arsenal made everyone see clearly the strength of Manchester City's lineup, then the narrow 3-2 away win over Leicester City made everyone clearly see the strength of Manchester City's substitute lineup.
He may not be very strong, but he is young, energetic and motivated, and his future is limitless.

Since Manchester City was eliminated from the League Cup early, there was no game in midweek, but Su Dong was not idle at all.
The FIFA Ballon d'Or Award Ceremony is coming!
Every wealthy team has begun to support their stars, and the loudest one is undoubtedly Barcelona.
Who makes Xavi and Iniesta the favorites?
Cruyff said in his column that Xavi should win the award. He is not only Barcelona's commander, but also the soul of Spain's midfielder who won the World Cup. He deserves a Ballon d'Or.
"Su Dong is undoubtedly the strongest. So far this season, he has scored 35 Premier League goals, which is simply amazing. But it is a pity that 2010 is the year of the World Cup, and Xavi is the one who should be the most powerful.
Award-winning player.”
Cruyff said in his column that in non-competition years, Soviet Union was invincible and no one could shake his rule.
But in the competition year, more emphasis is placed on performance in the competition. Xavi and Iniesta are the ones who deserve the award the most, especially Xavi. "The whole world owes him a Ballon d'Or!"
Barcelona head coach Mourinho strongly supports Iniesta and believes that if the Ballon d'Or is not awarded to Iniesta, it will definitely be shady. "I can't imagine anyone who performs better than him.
More qualified to win the award.”
"The goal in the World Cup final is enough for him to win a Golden Ball!"
The call for Su Dong to win the award is not low, but after the merger of the World Footballer and the Ballon d'Or, no one knows how the first selection will be.
But before that, when the authoritative British magazine [World Football] selected the best player of 2010, Su Dong defeated Xavi and Iniesta and won the entire honor.
Bayern head coach Jupp Heynckes was elected as the best coach, Spain was selected as the best team of the year, and Bayern's Thomas Muller was selected as the best rookie of the year.
In the vote rate announced by World Football Magazine, Sudong defeated Xavi and Iniesta by a narrow margin.
This actually represents the current contradiction between many media and fans.
Su Dong performed very well, whether at Bayern or in the past six months after joining Manchester City, his performance was impeccable.
But the problem is that there is a World Cup this year, and both Xavi and Iniesta are Spain's top contributors to winning the World Cup. They also helped Barcelona reach the Champions League final. Although they did not win the championship, it was still an achievement.
It can be said that it is really difficult to choose who wins the award and who does not.
