MM Racing Chapter 331
Chapter 331
"I know you're on vacation, so we might end this soon." Pellegrini
seemed to have fallen in love with Xu Ning.
No way, who let Xu Ning's eye for selecting players surprised the entire world football a little.
Several of the players recommended to Manchester City last season have already established themselves at Manchester City and are future superstars.
The players recommended by the Portuguese national team have also become the mainstay and future stars of Portugal.
If such a vision is not well utilized, it will not be a violent thing.
Xu Ning did not refuse, after all, this is also a convenient thing, he is not troublesome.
Anyway, with past life experience, at least it is enough for his entire career.
"Tell me, which position is short of people?" Xu
Ning's tone was full of indifference.
Because he did not pay attention to the club's transfer operations, he did not know the specifics.
When Pellegrini told him about the existing player configuration, Xu Ning nodded in agreement.
Indeed, only the midfield is still slightly thin, and every other position needs at least one substitute.
The four men up front are already very bloated
; Nasri and Keylor Keylor on the wing, Milner and Sinclair on the bench
; David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne up front;
and five central defenders are more than enough for the entire season;
Full-backs include Sabaleta and Kolarov and Sania, who has just joined freely, and Richards and Klichy are barely available on the bench.
Only in midfield back, now there are only two men, Yaya Toure and Fernandinho.
If Manchester City play in the 4231 formation, then the two will have to start at the same time.
Even if you can make a cameo appearance with Milner, it still seems too thin.
If one or even two midfielders can be bought as a guarantee, then Manchester City's squad is perfect.
Xu Ning pondered for a while, and the names of a good back came to mind.
If there is anyone who is the number one midfielder in world football in the future, it is Modric.
It's just that Real Madrid have just released Alonso and are preparing to form a gorgeous midfield combination with Modric and Kroos.
Although it would be perfect to buy Modric, it is almost impossible for Real Madrid to release him.
Kante is good, as a defensive back, he is simply the king of midfield coverage, and even slowly developed the ability to move forward.
And Kanter is still just a nobody, and it is definitely not difficult to buy people.
In addition to Kante, Gundogan is also good.
As Borussia Dortmund's midfield commander, his growth is evident.
In his previous life, he also joined Manchester City and became the main midfielder of Manchester City.
There is definitely a chance to win, it is nothing more than spending a little more, and Dortmund will sell people.
In addition to Kante and Gundogan, Xu Ning also remembered a relatively unpopular midfielder - Paulinho, although Paulinho is not in a sense the top midfielder,
but it is undeniable that his versatility is excellent.
The defense is strong, and he has the ability to insert forward, and he hardly hurts.
Although it is not very suitable as a workhorse, it is definitely enough as a substitute and may be pleasantly surprised.
You know, Paulinho is the person Barca are willing to spend 40 million euros to buy.
Even if Barca failed to play as an absolute workhorse, the playing time gained was quite stable.
As for the full-back that Pellegrini played smoothly, the first thing that came to Xu Ning's mind was Kyle Walker.
After all, that was also Manchester City's main player later, and it is not surprising to think of him.
So, Xu Ning told Pellegrini the few candidates he had in mind, as for what kind of decision Pellegrini will have in the end, it is not something he needs to worry about!
A week later
, Manchester City began their official pre-season training camp.
Except for the players who were allowed to report late, the rest of the players came to the Etihad training ground to participate in training.
Among them, there are several new players who have joined Manchester City.
Almost a week later, Manchester City's entire squad travelled to Austria for training for the new season.
Xu Ning has also returned to the team
, and he has been vacationing in Austria for a while,
and he is almost about to become a host.
When the teammates arrived, Xu Ning directly invited the whole team to a big meal.
And he finally saw the team's wishes.
I have to say that Pellegrini's efficiency and decisiveness still surprised him.
He just casually mentioned Kyle Walker, and after Pellegrini investigated, he directly chose to shoot.
Although there is a certain household registration book bonus, because Kyle Walker is not yet a stable English country, his value has not reached the later level.
Manchester City spent £24 million to take the future winger.
Even if Kyle Walker can't secure a regular position at Manchester City now, he can compete with Zabaleta for the starter.
This kind of healthy competition can also promote good progress among the players.
In the future, when Zabaleta's competitive form declines due to age, Kyle Walker can seamlessly enter the position.
In addition to Kyle Walker, the joining of Kante and Paulinho also made Xu Ning quite emotional.
N'Golo Kante played for Ligue 2 side Caen last season and successfully broke into Ligue 1 with the team.
Originally, such a nobody, actually won the favor of European champion Manchester City, even Caen Club felt extremely surprised.
In fact, Caen did not want to sell Kante, after all, the importance of the French in Caen's upgrade process has been undoubtedly demonstrated.
Manchester City directly offered 8 million euros to N'Golo Kante who had not played in the top flight, a price that Caen simply could not refuse.
So N'Golo Kante, who played in the Forensic League last season, came to Manchester City to report.
As for Paulinho, it is much more troublesome than N'Golo Kante.
The Brazilian defender only moved from Corinthians to Tottenham last summer and is worth a whopping £17m.
Paulinho was basically Tottenham's regular back-up last season, scoring six goals in 30 appearances, and his performance was worthy of this value.
Now Manchester City have made an offer for Paulinho, but Tottenham do not want to sell to Manchester City.
Even if Tottenham are difficult to compete for the Premier League title now, Manchester City's dominance is too scary, almost a public enemy of the Premier League, and Spurs do not want to make Manchester City more powerful.
With the increase in bench thickness in Manchester City, won't clubs like Tottenham not even have a chance to win the domestic cup?
I'll just take the money!
Directly quote 20 million pounds, do you sell it? In a season, make 3 million pounds, it's a good deal!
What
? You don't sell
? The £22 million, do you sell it
?
After a few back-and-forths, Tottenham finally agreed to sell Paulinho to Manchester City for 23 million euros!
