Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 363 The transfer period opens, Manchester City is eyeing Kimi Hirudiger Kanter and other demons

Since Chelsea also won this round, Manchester City did not narrow the gap between the two teams after the game against Arsenal.

The gap between the two sides is still maintained at 3 points. Manchester City will go to an away game against Chelsea in the next game. Therefore, in order to preserve their strength, in the FA Cup match against Millsburg in midweek, Guardiola chose to hide a lot of main players. Played with a semi-substitute lineup.

Unexpectedly, Manchester City was unexpectedly upset in the away game and lost to their opponents 0:2, and the FA Cup was also eliminated.

This result caused an uproar from the outside world. After Guardiola joined, Manchester City lost a lot of games!

This record doesn't look much better than when Pellegrini was absent.

As a result, many people began to wonder whether Guardiola's set is really not suitable for the Premier League as Mourinho said?
The opponent was unexpectedly upset, and Mourinho naturally wanted to stand up and mock him.

Especially when the two teams will face off directly in the next round, conducting psychological warfare at this time and influencing the opponent's mentality will significantly help Chelsea improve their winning percentage.

"I said a long time ago that Guardiola's set can only be used in La Liga, and it won't work if you change to another league. The loss to Millsburg is the proof!"

"The next game at Stamford Bridge, I will personally teach and tell Guardiola how to play the game after the Premier League, the world's number one league!"

Originally, everyone was skeptical about Mourinho's words that he would teach Manchester City a lesson at Stamford Bridge, but based on the state of Manchester City in recent games, everyone began to believe Mourinho's words again.

Manchester City's state still looks sluggish, and their recent record is not very good.

In this state, they go to Chelsea, the most difficult home game to play, as a guest, I am afraid it is really bad luck.

Guardiola didn't bother to respond to Mourinho's talk.

When he was in La Liga, he learned a lot about Mourinho's psychological tactics. Talking is the opponent's strength. If he is really irritated by the opponent, he will be fooled.

However, these few games did expose some problems in the Manchester City team. After Yaya Toure took leave to return to Africa to play in the African Cup, Manchester City's midfielders were somewhat insufficient.

In addition, there are many problems in the defense line, and it is necessary to continue to sign up to supplement.

So, taking advantage of the window that was not closed during the winter break, Guardiola began to try to buy people.

He first sent away the defender Mangala bought from Porto during the summer window at a price of 2300 million euros.

Mangala played very poorly in Manchester City's half of the season. In the limited number of appearances, he often made low-level mistakes.

In addition, he is dissatisfied with the weather and diet of Manchester City. It is difficult for the player himself to integrate into the team. Staying in Manchester City is just a torture for both parties.

As a result, the two sides broke up, Manchester City lost 700 million euros, and the price was reduced to let him leave.

Manchester City's defender reserves are already insufficient. After letting Mangala go, they urgently need to introduce a defender for reinforcement.

However, it is not easy to buy a good defender. After Paris has persisted in driving up prices, the prices of defenders in football are generally inflated.

Judging from the transfer fee of David Luiz at that price, it is impossible to buy a good defender without blood.

If you encounter a black shop like Porto, you will definitely be slaughtered severely.

Guardiola took a fancy to Bayern's two defenders, Boateng and Alaba.

Although Boateng has a famous scene of being knocked down by Lin Quan, his defensive awareness is very good.

The reason why he was knocked down was entirely because his consciousness kept up with Lin Quan's speed, but his body couldn't.

If it were an ordinary defender, Lin Quan might have been passed cleanly as soon as he adjusted.

Boateng's brain can keep up, which is not easy.

And apart from being unable to guard against Lin Quan, Boateng performed very well against other players.

After being honed in the league and the Champions League in the past few years, Boateng has played better and better, and he is faintly looking like a general.

As for Alaba, when he was at Bayern, Guardiola valued his potential very much.

Alaba, who is less than 23 years old this year, may still lack some experience, but his talent is very high.

Alaba is strong, fast and flexible.

He is the kind of player who can attack and defend. Guardiola is very optimistic about him and believes that he is very likely to become the number one left back in football in the future.

Manchester City's right back Zabaleta is very strong, but left back Kolarov is almost meaningless.

Kolarov's offensive ability is very strong, but his defensive ability is not strong.

In the last game against Arsenal, Arsenal opened the situation on his side, allowing Manchester City's goal to be broken twice.

Therefore, Manchester City's left back is often rotated, Kolarov and Clichy take turns playing.

Guardiola hopes to introduce a more comprehensive full-back to completely solve this problem.

Like Wenger, Guardiola also likes to buy young players.

This kind of player has a lot of room for improvement and is more obedient to management. After buying it, he can make some improvements. If he succeeds, he can become the cornerstone of the team and play for the team for a long time.

Even if it is unsuccessful, the cost will not be very high, and someone will take over after it is sold.

He just came to Manchester City, and the pressure of performance is not great, so now he is thinking about how to build a team lineup that satisfies him.

So after the transfer period opened, Manchester City submitted a transfer offer to Bayern as soon as possible.

Manchester City intends to use 8000 million euros to take the two away in a package.

The offer was not low, but Bayern didn't even take a second look, and directly rejected Manchester City's offer.

Now the Bundesliga is only halfway through, and the Champions League has only reached the knockout stage.

Let Manchester City take away their two main defenders at this time, so how will Bayern play in the second half of the season?
After Heynckes' comeback, he is ambitious and ready to do something big!

After being rejected by Bayern, Guardiola gave up Boateng and made a separate offer to Alaba at a price of 4000 million euros.

It's difficult to take two people away, but if you take one person away, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?
And the price is very high. With Paris Saint-Germain's defense full of players, it is impossible for other clubs to offer a higher price than Manchester City.

However, Bayern still rejected Manchester City's offer. Bayern's general manager Hoeness even said that as long as Guardiola is in Manchester City for one day, Bayern will not be able to conduct any transactions with Manchester City.

It seems that in response to the previous termination of the contract between Guardiola and Bayern, the relationship between the two parties has completely froze.

There is no game for Bayern, and Guardiola tried to make offers to several other teams, such as Real Madrid's Calhava and Dortmund's Hummels, etc., wanting to take away the opponent's main defender.

However, these offers were either rejected by those clubs who had ambitions for results, or some teams took the opportunity to drive up the price and fired the price to the sky.

A series of rejections hit Guardiola hard.

"It's really hard to find people during the winter break!"

Returning home exhausted, Guardiola took off his suit, threw himself on the sofa and lay down with Ge You.

It happened that Lin Quan came back from playing football with his younger brother Marius. After hearing his words, he couldn't help asking:

"Have you dealt with the defender yet?"

"No, it's not that easy!"

Guardiola shook his head and said with emotion:

"These days, good defenders are as scarce as gold. You can't buy the ones you like at a high price. Can you buy the ones you don't like and use them as time bombs?"

Hearing what Guardiola said, Lin Quan nodded in agreement.

"How about I give you the details?"

"you?"

Guardiola looked at Lin Quan with some doubts. Does he know about these things?
Holding the attitude of a dead horse as a living horse doctor, Guardiola nodded:
"Well, tell me!"

"You just came from the Bundesliga, have you followed the games of the Bundesliga?"

Guardiola nodded, indicating that he had paid attention.

The German league is operating very well. Whether it is the Bundesliga, the Bundesliga or even the Bundesliga teams, their finances are relatively healthy.

And healthy finances allow them to operate stably, and the huge football population base can also provide these teams with a steady stream of talents.

In addition, many teams, including Bayern, will loan young players to the Bundesliga to practice, so the teams in the Bundesliga are very strong and the games are not ugly.

"Then do you have any impression of Leipzig Red Bull's right-back Kimmich?"

Guardiola thought for a while, then nodded:
"Well, I have a little impression. This kid has a high ball quotient, has an excellent sense of defensive position on the field, and has a very good cross!"

Guardiola recalled it in his mind and found a memory fragment about Kimmich.

As long as Guardiola has seen this kind of player that can make his eyes shine, he will basically never forget it.

"Kimmich is just 19 years old now, still very young, and he can be bought and trained as Zabaleta's heir.

And his worth is not expensive, it is estimated that it only costs about 700-1000 million euros.

When he gets out of training, Zabaleta is expected to retire, and he will take over perfectly by then! "

"You like him so much?"

Guardiola was very surprised when he heard Lin Quan said that he wanted to train Mihi as Zabaleta's successor.

Zabaleta's strength Guardiola couldn't be more clear, he is Manchester City's defense line, one of the few players that Guardiola can use with confidence.

Even captain Kompany has never achieved this point!

"It's not that I'm optimistic about him, it's that Bayern is optimistic about him. Considering Lahm's age, Bayern probably will make a move in the summer and buy him!"

"So if you don't want to miss the opportunity, now is the last time to make a move. After Bayern expresses their intention to buy Kimmich, do you think you have a chance to snatch someone from Bayern?"

Guardiola has coached Bayern, so he has a deeper understanding of Bayern's huge influence in the Bundesliga.

For the vast majority of German players, going to Bayern means that their chances of entering the German national team will be greatly improved.

Therefore, Bayern's invitation is almost something they cannot refuse.

After learning that Bayern is interested in them, many German players will even lower their value and go to Bayern to play.

This is also the reason why it is difficult for other Bundesliga teams to resist Bayern's poaching, which has led to the dominance of the Bundesliga.

All good seedlings have been poached by Bayern, and of course other teams cannot compete with Bayern.

Guardiola didn't pay much attention to it at first, but Lin Quan's words made him dare not take it lightly.

It's no secret that Bayern are considering an heir for Lahm.

Lahm, who was born in 83, is no longer young. The time he can play for Bayern is probably only the last two or three seasons.

In this case, Bayern must find candidates early and train them in advance so that they can fill this vacancy after Lahm retires or leaves the team.

Kimmich's talent is outstanding and Bayern will notice him sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Guardiola made a decisive decision:
"Okay, I'll get someone to make an offer to Leipzig!"

"Remember to keep it a little hidden, try not to let Bayern know in advance, once Bayern cuts off the beard, the possibility of buying someone is very small!"

Lin Quan reminded.

"Well, I'll pay attention!"

Under Guardiola's instruction, Manchester City submitted an offer of 500 million euros to the Leipzig Red Bull.

This price is completely sky-high for the Leipzig Red Bull. They bought Kimmich from Stuttgart for only 50 euros.
This makes Leipzig Red Bull feel unreal!
However, since the other party has made an offer, they have to bargain anyway, right?

As a result, the Leipzig Red Bull tremblingly raised the price to 700 million euros.

They didn't dare to improve too much, for fear of scaring the benefactor away.

However, after receiving Leipzig's offer, Manchester City didn't bother to bargain with the other party at all, and directly agreed to the other party's price.

This made Leipzig dumbfounded!

They feel that they are going to be short. With Manchester City's bold attitude, it seems that if they add more money, the other party will agree?

After the two parties reached an agreement, Manchester City's money was transferred to the Leipzig Red Bull's account almost immediately.

Getting the money so quickly made the Leipzig Red Bull very emotional.

It's really cool to do business with a local tyrant like Manchester City!
Not only are Manchester City generous, they don't bargain, and they give money quickly.

It's a pity that the other party only took a fancy to Kimmich. If they can take a fancy to other people, then they can make more money.

Kimmich arrived at Manchester City soon and passed the team's trial training and medical examination.

During the trial training, Guardiola was very satisfied with the 19-year-old player.

He believes that as long as Kimmich is properly trained, in time, he will definitely become the pinnacle of Manchester City's left defense line!
Considering that this transfer was carried out entirely on the advice of Lin Quan, Guardiola had a kind of blind confidence in Lin Quan.

After completing the transfer of Kimmich, he immediately ran to ask Lin Quan for advice:
"The team is still short of a central defender, a midfielder and a forward. Do you have any good candidates to recommend?"

Not to mention, Lin Quan really did.

"As for the central defender, Stuttgart's Rudiger is good. He should not be expensive at this time, and he has just suffered a serious injury. He can be settled within 1500 million euros."

"As for the midfield, I do know a very good defensive midfielder!"

"Oh? How powerful?"

Guardiola asked enthusiastically.

"Well, the upper limit can reach the level of Makelele, right?"

Guardiola's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.

He and Makelele are players of the same era, and both are midfielders, so he knows better than anyone how terrifying Makelele was at his peak!
This is a fierce man who can play a single midfielder.

Without him, it would have been difficult for the top-heavy Real Madrid to win the Champions League.

No wonder Casillas said that the player he misses most is Makelele.

After all, after Makelele left the team, even with a large number of top stars such as Zidane, Ronaldo and Beckham, the Galacticos who lacked a bottom line fell quickly.

And after him, there are almost no players in football who can play a single midfielder.

That's why Guardiola was so surprised. He was very curious about who could get such a high evaluation from Lin Quan.

"He is a Frenchman, currently playing for Caen in Ligue [-], and his name is N'Golo Kante!"
