I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 133 The upgrade completed for the first time!
Fortunately, Guardiola then came to the locker room and saved the embarrassing atmosphere in the locker room. Guagua brought several new players to the conference room to chat with them in turn.

Zhao Jinge also hurriedly went to today's training with De Bruyne.

In the meeting room, Guardiola learned about the conversation their robot had just had in the locker room.

Mahrez also immediately asked Zhao Jinge if it was true that they would play the English League Cup as Manchester City's first show.

Guardiola nodded with a smile:

"Of course it is true. You also know that with such a dense schedule, many old players in Manchester City can't keep up with their physical condition, and they can only keep playing once a week.

You are all carefully selected by the team as supplementary players. After the second half of the season, you may be the main force of the team next year.

The team attaches great importance to you, so we chose a very important but not so important semi-final as your test!

I hope to see your wonderful performance in the game. You must know that Manchester City has too many excellent players. Everyone wants more playing time and a bigger contract, so please seize the opportunity! "

After a half-day conversation, Guardiola has a deeper understanding of these new aids, and has a clearer plan for their use.

The first is Stones. For this young England central defender, the partner Guardiola chose for him is Argentine veteran Demichelis.

Now Stones occasionally makes some common mistakes of young people on the court. Guardiola hopes that he can learn more experience from veterans by following the Argentine.

At present, the team's main central defenders are Kompany and Otamendi, but the glass attribute of the captain Kompany makes Guardiola have no choice but to worry.

After Stones' performance is stable, he should slowly replace Kompany's main force, or make up immediately after the captain is injured.

Demichelis also made the decision to return to the Argentine League to shine after this season. Guardiola is ready to bring Laporte to the Etihad Stadium.

Next season, Manchester City's central defender reserve will be the envy of the whole of Europe.

Three young main central defenders, plus an old captain who is the world's top without injury, the central defender's nightmare that has plagued Guardiola for a long time this season is finally coming to an end.

Among the few rookies, Kanter is the most reassuring one for Guardiola. He can almost seamlessly connect Fernandinho's role on the court.

It's just that this is the Frenchman's first season in the Premier League, and Guardiola is a little worried about his performance during the winter break.

However, Guardiola will not arrange too many games for them recently, and several rookies also have plenty of time to adapt.

Like Kanter, Kyle Walker's position is also very stable. Sagna's current mind is to maintain his state and go to the European Cup in the summer.

Sabaletta, who is a little younger than Sania, has been suffering from minor injuries this year.

Guardiola's positioning for Kyle Walker is to take over the position of the main right back after a period of rotation with Sagna.

The contract between Sarnia and Zabaleta still has one and a half seasons. After the two veterans shine as the team's substitutes next season, Manchester City is preparing to terminate the contract peacefully, allowing the two veterans to end their careers with the championship.

For this reason, Guardiola plans to buy one or two young players this summer, carefully craft them, and immediately take the position of the substitute after the two veterans leave the team, and then slowly evolve into the main rotation.

Finally, there are two newly joined wingers. For Mahrez and Mane, Guardiola has a bit of a headache to arrange. Now with Sterling, Manchester City has three genuine wingers on the wing.

Guardiola originally planned to add only one winger and replace the somewhat unreliable Sterling, but Mansour waved his hand and bought the two together.

These are all players bought for tens of millions of euros, and it is impossible for Guardiola to keep them unused!Not to mention that this is still the transfer list submitted by myself, tears still have to play their due role!
But the team's starting wingers currently only need two, and this is still the case of playing a four-three-three formation.
If playing [-], Guardiola doesn't even need any real winger in the selection of wide players!

Among the two rookies, Mahrez can play as a midfielder. Guardiola plans to let him develop in the direction of David Silva. He can switch freely between the positions of winger and midfielder, and become a midfielder from winger to rib. of a sharp knife.

Mane, like Sterling, is used as a blaster. The speed of the Senegalese will insert a wing for Manchester City's wing, and Mane can also be used as a second striker, partnering with a center forward to form in the middle. Cooperate.

How to balance the playing time among the three wingers has become a problem that Guardiola must solve.

It is to increase the manpower on the wing and let three people participate in the rotation of two positions.

It is better to transform Mahrez and Sterling into midfielders like Silva and join the rotation of midfielders.

Both of these solutions take a lot of time to try, and Guardiola has no immediate solution to the problem.

After having two new wingers, Guardiola decisively lowered the priority of Sterling's appearance. Before meeting Guardiola's requirements, Sterling's priority among the three wide players should be at the bottom. Location.

On the other hand, it is the adjustment of Zhao Jinge's position. In the current situation where there are a lot of people on the side, unless there is no one available on the side in the future, or tactical needs.

Otherwise, as Manchester City's deadliest trump card today, Guardiola hopes that he can stay closer to the goal.

Of course, Guagua will not take the initiative to limit Zhao Jinge's position. Like Loew, he hopes to train Zhao Jinge to be a free agent in the frontcourt, and bring winning goals to the team from different positions and different angles.

This is Guardiola's initiative to change Zhao Jinge's tactical weight, but after the change, it is bound to squeeze Aguero's playing time.

Aguero's physical condition has begun to slowly decline from his peak period, as evidenced by the increasing number of injuries this season.

Guardiola wants to prolong the service life of the Manchester City striker as much as possible. In addition to using a double-center lineup, Aguero will rotate against Zhao Jinge in the future.

However, Guardiola has not yet figured out how to communicate with this striker who is still in the prime of his career.

Unlike other players who have to accept rotation after reaching the age, Aguero is currently not suffering from injuries.

He can play at least [-] Premier League games for Manchester City in a season. How to persuade him to reduce his playing time is a very headache for Guardiola.

And this also reduced Zhao Jinge's playing time in disguise, as Manchester City's current leading shooter.

Now Guardiola, apart from some irrelevant games, really has no other reason for this young striker, who is on the rise in his career, to reduce his playing time.

This is also one of the reasons why Guardiola has frequently used [-] recently. As long as Aguero and Zhao Jinge are in good health,
Guardiola will have to send two people on the field together and play as the starting center at the same time, which will maximize Manchester City's combat effectiveness.

As for why Guardiola didn't use the better four-three-three, the biggest reason was that before the arrival of the two new wingers, Manchester City had no reliable wingers other than Zhao Jinge.

Now Manchester City's choice of striker has fallen into happy troubles, but if Guardiola's arrangement loses balance and harmony, a handling error will cause turmoil in the locker room.

Guardiola has a lot of experience breaking up with players because of playing time, starting and other issues, such as Barcelona's Yaya Toure and Bayern's Gotze.

Of course, this is also an unavoidable annoyance for the head coach of a wealthy team. How to balance the relationship in the locker room is also an art that the head coach must master.

Fortunately, two new wingers have just joined the team, and Sterling's performance is indeed not stable enough. Guardiola still has more time to coordinate the appearance relationship between Aguero and Zhao Jinge.

However, Guardiola also discovered a problem, that is, Zhao Jinge is too durable, no matter how he uses it, there is no problem of injury or fatigue. At most, sometimes he will have some negative emotions psychologically.

This young man with such a stable performance has become an unshakable part of Guardiola's striker position, just like Barcelona's Messi, Real Madrid's Ronaldo, and Manchester City's Zhao Jinge have gradually grown into iconic figures of the team.

In this season's game, if Guardiola hadn't forced him to rest for a few games, I am afraid that this young man would be able to complete the full attendance of the season's game without missing a game.

Now Guardiola is going to make Zhao Jinge the new top card for Manchester City, and has begun to adjust internal relations and tactical arrangements.

He wants to hand over more important burdens to this young man, and transfer the burdens that were once placed on old players such as Aguero and David Silva to Zhao Jinge.

He will no longer limit Zhao Jinge's position and playing time. As long as his medical examination report passes, Zhao Jinge will attack Manchester City on the court.

The day before the match against Everton, Guardiola took the initiative to make an appointment with Aguero for a meeting.

I want Aguero to accept his tactical rotation as much as possible.

"Akun, good morning! I asked you to come here today because I want to discuss some things with you. This is related to the team's future tactics and future plans."

As soon as Guardiola came up, he lifted the theme of today's meeting.

After hearing the head coach's opening remarks, Aguero, who was sitting opposite Guardiola, immediately understood the importance of the issues discussed today, which are related to his subsequent career in Manchester City.

"Boss, do you want to adjust the position of the frontcourt players?"

"It's not about position adjustments, it's about the coordination of your tactical use and playing time. I hope you can accept more rotations. I want to continue your peak state for a longer period of time. This requires your consent."

"Rotation? Is our current rotation not strong enough?"

"Yes, I would like to compress your playing time to four or five games a month, which is one or two games less than now.

For the Premier League, 38 games a season, I only expect you to play around 25 games, starting all of them of course.

For some away games in the Champions League, if it is not necessary, I will also reduce your playing time. I don't want you to waste your rest time on long-distance flights.

Except for the finals and semi-finals in the domestic cup competitions, I will not arrange you to play in the future. "

"Boss, I'm only 28 years old this year, I know rotation can prolong my career, but I still wish I could play more games!"

"Akun, yes! You are only 28 years old, but you should feel that your physical fitness has begun to decline, and your injuries are increasing.

If you want to play for Manchester City for a few more years, it is best to reduce the intensity of the game to one game a week from now on! "

Guardiola stared into Aguero's eyes:

"And the games I have reduced are all unimportant games. Instead of choosing the number, I hope you can always show your strength in high-quality games and extend your career.

This is the best choice for yourself, for Manchester City, and for the Argentine national team.

At least reduce the frequency of games and have more rest time, so you don't have to return to the national team with injuries like last time. "

Guardiola took out a report on Aguero's physical indicators and injuries in the last six months, and handed it to Aguero who was sitting opposite:
"You can look at the comparison between your physical condition in the past six months and the previous seasons. I am not alarmist. I really hope to prolong your peak state."

Aguero looked at his body report, just like Guardiola said, his recent state has indeed fluctuated a bit seriously, and some old injuries that have accumulated over the years have begun to recur.

After watching in silence for more than ten minutes, Aguero raised his head and looked at Guardiola:
"I'm open to rotations, but I want to get as much playing time as possible if I can."

Guardiola was very happy that Aguero could accept his rotation, and immediately nodded in agreement.

This will remove a huge foreshadowing of hidden dangers in the locker room.

After Aguero promised more rotation, Guardiola decided to adjust the team's forward personnel from the nearest two to three.

With Aguero playing, Zhao Jinge and Aguero will firmly occupy two positions, and Guardiola will put Zhao Jinge on the wing.

In the absence of Aguero, Zhao Jinge will form Manchester City's striker with the better two of the three wingers.

Starting today, Manchester City's striker will enter a new era, Zhao Jinge unknowingly slowly replaced Aguero's previous position.
