N-A-A Chapter 188
Chapter 188
Interestingly, Pellegrini actually learned from Xu Ning.
After learning that Xu Ning recommended several young players to Portugal head coach Paolo Bento, and these young players have played very well in the Portuguese national team, Pellegrini was also a little moved!
Although in some ways the manager is a bit from the players, Pellegrini is by no means such a rigid person.
After all, the new Manchester City is equivalent to being built with Xu Ning as the core, and it seems unreasonable if Xu Ning cannot have the right to advise on player selection.
Just like Messi and Ronaldo, although they cannot influence the transfer operations of their respective clubs, they have the right to advise.
Players are undoubtedly the ones who know themselves best, and they know better who can burst out with their partner.
More importantly, Pellegrini also admired Xu Ning's vision a little.
Therefore, there is nothing embarrassing in asking Xu Ning on this issue.
On this day, after training, Pellegrini pulled Xu Ning into the office.
"Regarding the team's winter transfer window, I would like to hear your opinion!"
"What kind of helper do you think you need?"
Pellegrini was straight to the point, and did not play anything with Xu Ning at all.
Xu Ning was stunned!
You also asked me about the help?
Manchester City has a lot of scouts, and the coaching staff is also dedicated to scouting players, where can they use themselves?
I didn't want to grab power!
Doesn't that force me to make mistakes!
If I were really involved in the transfer operation, wouldn't I have to have another nickname in the future?
Director Xu!
Sounds genuinely unbelievable.
However, looking at Pellegrini didn't look like a joke at all, Xu Ning thought.
Perhaps, you want to match your own style and let yourself choose the player you want!
However, it has to be said that the team's signing is indeed imminent.
There is a shortage of strikers, the central defender position is already very weak, and it needs to be strengthened overall.
Unlike other leagues, the Premier League is too much internal and you have to have enough depth in the squad to produce results.
Since he will not leave easily, Xu Ning has to think more from the perspective of the club.
I thought that my memories and experiences in my past life would not be of much use, but now it seems that they are still of some use.
First of all, the front line, the team must be strengthened!
Dzeko won't return until at least mid-to-late February.
In the absence of strong forwards, many times Xu Ning is required to do the dirty work by himself, rushing into the box and fighting against the opponent, which is not what Xu Ning likes.
Santa Cruz is not expected to return anytime soon.
So, which striker is more suitable?
Naturally, Manchester City are not bad for money, so money is not a problem.
But you must consider whether the other party fits Manchester City's tactics, whether it fits his own style, and whether he can form the best partner with himself!
Firstly, shooter type, which is not needed at all.
Manchester City have their own, it doesn't really matter if others score or not, the pressure to score is not that great at all.
The most suitable partner for himself is actually a tactical striker.
Like Benzema!
Xu Ning is very envious of Ronaldo, this guy has found the most suitable forward partner for himself.
It can be both tackling, assisting, and the most important thing is that it can also back the pot.
It can be said that Ronaldo's success in Real Madrid is absolutely inseparable from Benzema's credit.
But there is only one Benzema, and Xu Ning can't grab it if he wants to!
People play well at Real Madrid, why come to Manchester City?
Real Madrid's salary is not low, can Manchester City still use a salary that breaks the salary structure to attract Benzema?
It is enough to have Xu Ning's unique existence.
If Benzema also takes a super salary, it is estimated that the rest of Manchester City's players will not work.
So, there's basically no need to think about it.
And besides Benzema, which other striker is a contributing striker?
Xu Ning pondered for a long time, and finally a name came to mind - Firmino.
In the future, Firmino will be the most resourceful centre-forward at Liverpool, and he is simply born to serve his attacking partner.
The technique is flexible and delicate, with a strong body, and at the same time the style of play is extremely diligent and steady.
Extensive running involvement, excellent passing to do the ball.
The brilliant things are handed over to the teammates, and they are silently dedicated.
It can be said that Salah's success in those seasons is absolutely indispensable to the support of Roberto Firmino.
For Xu Ning, such a striker is undoubtedly the most suitable partner.
Thinking of this, Xu Ning quickly took out his mobile phone and searched for Firmino.
Obviously, Firmino is not yet in Liverpool, but is on the first stop of the five major leagues, Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga.
Searching for Roberto Firmino's recent performance, Xu Ning knew that he might have to make Manchester City spend money again.
It was a little different from what he thought just now, and he thought that Firmino was still in the dusty stage.
But in fact, Firmino has already exploded at Hoffenheim this season.
In less than half a season, Firmino played 18 games in all competitions, scoring 10 goals and providing eight assists.
Although it cannot be said to be the best star in the Bundesliga, such data has definitely entered the attention of the major giants.
But how to attract Firmino to join is a matter for the club, since Pellegrini asked himself, he only said the goal.
So Xu Ning spoke very indifferently.
"Brazilian striker Roberto Firmino, now plays for Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga."
"The technology is comprehensive, the capabilities are good, and the data is outstanding."
"And he's the most typical tactical centre-forward and should match me."
Pellegrini heard Xu Ning's words and seemed to fall into deep thought.
Obviously, he must have heard of Firmino's name as well.
However, the detailed understanding still has to wait for free time, so Pellegrini immediately continued to ask.
"What about the midfield position, any recommendations?"
Xu Ning pondered for a moment, and the first thing that came to mind was the configuration of Manchester City later.
De Bruyne.
Tintin is a true master midfielder.
While there may be shortcomings, and while he may not be able to compare to those top midfielder grandmasters in terms of honour, there is no denying his true role in a team.
Under Pellegrini's surprised gaze, Xu Ning took out his mobile phone again and began to search.
Huh!
At this point in time, De Bruyne has not yet made a big splash at Wolfsburg, but it is not reused at Chelsea.
Although De Bruyne's free-spirited style of play does not match Mourinho's rigorous requirements, his experience at Chelsea is still a bit regrettable.
But this is just right, Manchester City can win De Bruyne for a very good price.
Even if Manchester City is not bad at money, but it can save money, after all, money is not blown by the wind!
Thinking of this, Xu Ning suddenly smiled dumbly.
All right!
My own pattern is small!
It is true that the money does not come from the wind, but it comes from the ground!
