N-A-A Chapter 201
Chapter 201
The winter window has just opened, and Manchester City's efficient and slightly exaggerated signings have caused quite a stir in the Premier League and even in European football as a whole.
With four players combined, Manchester City invested a total of 73 million euros, winning the Premier League!
This is very powerless!
Manchester City's results are amazing, and now they are ahead of the Premier League in transfer investment, which makes other teams chase!
It's like someone better than you is working harder than you!
By comparison, the input from other teams in the Premier League has been drizzle.
Manchester United saw that they could not even play in the Champions League, and the anxious management invested in the hospital, spending nearly 45 million euros to bring in Mata from Chelsea that Mourinho could not look at.
In addition, Chelsea's 54 million euros to bring in players such as Nemanja Matic and Salah, which is not a small investment.
But the net investment in Chelsea actually earned, because after calculation, they actually had money left to sell Mata and De Bruyne.
As for Arsenal and Liverpool, it's basically zero input!
Looking at the whole of European football, there is no greater investment than Manchester City!
For a time, the sour voice of jealousy became the mainstream of public opinion.
"Manchester City are simply rich to burn, what are you buying for so much money?"
"These birdmen are worth tens of millions, so I think I'm worth millions, right?"
"Manchester City is floating! Obviously, the team needs to be strengthened, but it is all young people, and Manchester City will definitely collapse in the second half of the season!
"On the big head, I would like to take Manchester City as the strongest!"
"Xu Ning with these rotten people, it is estimated that it will be difficult to win the championship!"
"Manchester City's high-level faces are written that people are stupid and have a lot of money, and they can't do it if they don't accept it!"
......
In fact, not only public opinion, but even the unknown Manchester City players do not quite understand the significance of the team's recruitment operation.
Although they are all aimed at the current thin position of Manchester City's squad, doesn't the team always like to bring in big names?
Take a look at the four new signings this time!
One can't even play at Chelsea;
One is not famous in the Bundesliga;
There are even those who play in third-rate leagues;
That is, Firmino is a little famous at Hoffenheim, but if he is with Aguero and Dzekobi, it is simply not enough to watch.
However, after learning that these new signings were all handpicked by Xu Ning, almost no one questioned it.
Regardless of how Xu Ning looks at people, Xu Ning's status in the team alone is enough to shut people up.
After all, for the team, as long as Xu Ning is happy, it is more important than anything else.
As long as Xu Ning likes it, just think that these four players are toys bought back for Xu Ning, so what?
However, after the four new signings joined the team's training and slowly integrated into the team's overall tactics, everyone was shocked to find that Xu Ning's vision was simply divine!
Firmino aside, after all, people at least played well at Hoffenheim.
But Van Dijk and Rudiger were previously unknown, completely unfamous.
Kevin De Bruyne can't even play a ball at Chelsea!
However, in training, these players showed extremely excellent ability, especially the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, which makes them not fall behind in the confrontation with their teammates.
Van Dijk, in particular, is a suffocating defense that leaves the team's veteran Lesteko in contrast.
And Rudiger's characteristics seem to be more in line with Manchester City's technical and tactical system.
As for De Bruyne, it is even more eye-catching, it is clearly the embryo of the midfield master!
As long as the cultivation is in place, what kind of achievements can be achieved in the future, I dare not imagine.
The only Firmino that has been technically formed is tailor-made for Xu Ning.
That tactical role is even more obvious than Dzeko!
Everyone was amazed and amazed.
Where are Manchester City wronged?
It is clear that the cornerstone of the future was bought at the lowest cost!
They were really impressed by Xu Ning's vision!
Soon, Xu Ning's new nickname began to become popular in the team - "Chief Scout".
However, because of the arrival of several new signings, the lineup of the team has also quietly changed.
First, there was the departure of Lescott.
At the beginning of the season, City's main centre-back partners were captain Vincent Kompany and Demichelis.
However, Demichelis was injured and inconsistent, and many times had to let Lesccott come up.
However, due to factors such as age and injuries, Lescott's form was more erratic and his performance was not satisfactory.
Although the team still has Nastasic available, Nastasic has a low ceiling and is positioned as a rotation.
And with the arrival of Van Dijk and Antonio Rudiger, City's backline has become bloated.
After several in-team training confrontations, Pellegrini consciously partnered Vincent Kompany with the best performing new signing Van Dijk.
Rudiger has also been given a number of opportunities.
Correspondingly, Lescott's smooth appearance has been in sixth place in the central defender position, behind Nastasić.
In order to participate in the World Cup in the summer, Leskott must guarantee playing time, so he can only negotiate with the team to leave the team and go to a club that can play.
Manchester City happily agreed.
And because Lescot has worked hard for Manchester City in the past few seasons, Manchester City generously negotiated with Leskott to terminate his contract freely when he only had half a season left on his contract, making the English centre-back a free agent.
The advantage is that when Lescott signs a new team, he can get a more signing fee because he does not have a transfer fee.
Lescot is naturally grateful to Dade and leaves the team without forgetting to praise Manchester City.
After Lescott left, Rodwell soon after.
De Bruyne's arrival has made Rodwell's position, which has few playing opportunities, even more embarrassing.
In order to be able to play, he had to leave the team.
Similarly, Manchester City did not create obstacles for Rodwell's transfer.
Soon, Rodwell moved to Sunderland for 7 million euros, becoming the second man to leave Manchester City's winter window.
Neither Lescott nor Rodwell left to shake up the transfer market.
After all, everyone knows that the two are not Manchester City's main players, and even Rodewell is only a marginal rotation player.
Just when everyone thought that Manchester City would have another blockbuster transfer, Manchester City suddenly announced that the winter window signing was over.
Both the media and the fans were a little caught off guard.
I thought that Manchester City would not make a big increase, but Manchester City's big throw led the winter window transfer table;
Then thought Manchester City would purge a group of players, but in the end only two left;
Manchester City's operation makes everyone a little incomprehensible!
The media have been predicting what Manchester City will do in the second half of the season after the winter window transfer operation.
There are optimistic and bearish, and all kinds of differences.
Perhaps only Manchester City know how their squad has changed and what kind of chemistry has occurred.
