I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 334 A bright future is beckoning

Although Zhao Jinge has made it clear that he does not want to transfer and he is very happy staying in Manchester City, every media will link him to Real Madrid during any transfer window.

When Zhao Jinge was reading the news himself, he saw all kinds of speculations and remarks from the media. The sayings that had noses and eyes made him occasionally feel like he had been sold by Manchester City, let alone other people.

In order not to affect the mentality of his fans and the club, Zhao Jinge also took the initiative to shoot a promotional video for the club during his vacation after playing for Everton. Generally speaking, what he wanted to express was one thing: Manchester City is very good, Real Madrid should not be disturbed!
The second round of the Premier League No. 20 will start on January 22, when Manchester City will face Newcastle United at their home court.

After this round of games, the Premier League will be suspended for about ten days. During this day, Manchester City will usher in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Zhao Jinge should join the team as a substitute by then, but his game tasks will not be heavy. As long as there are no problems in the FA Cup game, he will just sit on the bench and rest. After basically playing in the second round of the No. 20 league, he can have a good rest. .

Manchester City is preparing for the game in full swing, and English football has become increasingly lively after the winter window opened.

As the top of the league, the current Manchester City team is not affected by a large-scale injury wave, and the bench is thick enough. Therefore, Guardiola has no plans to recruit reinforcements in the winter window. He just wants to add Clichy after his rapid aging. Introducing a high-level full-back, but so far there are no results.

However, the following teams such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham, and Chelsea are not as calm as Manchester City.

After the opening of the winter window, these powerful players began to search for targets in the transfer market. Chelsea's Mancini wanted to take away one of Thiago and Xavi Alonso from Bayern Munich, and also wanted to take away a big player from Manchester City. David Silva.

It is said that Chelsea has already discussed the deal between Xabi Alonso and Thiago with Bayern, but I don’t know if this news is true or not.

These are not short of money. When Chelsea was negotiating with Bayern Munich for midfield, they even bought Roma's German center back Rudiger at the same time, looking like they were going to have a big fight after the winter window.

Mourinho of Manchester United wants to find a first-class defensive midfielder from the five major leagues. The Red Devils' current waistline is really not strong enough. Mourinho has asked Pogba to play as a defensive midfielder without any other options. It also laid the fuse for the subsequent conflict between the two.

In addition, Arsenal's Professor Wen has also begun to wave checks to replenish his team. Dortmund's Aubameyang is his first choice in the winter!

However, Manchester City directly rejected Chelsea's idea of ​​​​wanting David Silva.

Manchester City CEO Ferran Soriano even issued a strong statement to Chelsea, saying that Manchester City has prepared a check and is waiting to buy Hazard after the end of the season.

And he kept sending emails to Chelsea with high offers, hoping that they would bear the pain and sell them an excellent player like Hazard!

The oil check from the Middle East can make the head of Chelsea's transfer department extremely depressed.

Didn't you just send a quote?How old is David Silva, and the reaction is still so fierce? Are we not offering Zhao Jinge and De Bruyne? !

Besides, De Bruyne is playing so well in Manchester City. What can I say behind this? Chelsea should also have a share of the credit? !
The transfer departments of Chelsea and Manchester City are abuzz with transfer matters.

The game against Newcastle came in such a relatively relaxed atmosphere.

On the afternoon of January 22, all the main players of the Newcastle United team arrived at the Etihad Stadium.

Compared with Manchester City, where everyone is relaxed, the atmosphere in the Newcastle team today seems much more solemn.

After the first 22 rounds of the league, Newcastle has dropped to No. 16 in the league, only three points away from the relegation zone, and has been completely reduced to a relegation team.

Before the start of this season, it was hard for Premier League fans to imagine that the Magpies, which almost entered the European theater last season, would decline so quickly.

Wijnaldum, one of the core midfielders, was poached by Liverpool in the summer window, and Mitrovic was taken away in the winter window. Newcastle, which had only been on the rise for two seasons, was torn to pieces by the powerful players.

Newcastle's current top priority is to score enough points to avoid relegation and stay in the Premier League. However, Manchester City this season is not like Liverpool, who will steal from the rich and give to the poor.

When playing against a weak team, the main players do not need to appear. Just the substitute lineup can ensure that the home team does not lose. If Zhao Jinge is sent in, he can definitely win smoothly. Today's game is no exception.

Guardiola has developed Manchester City's best four-three-three formation.

The offensive foursome of Mane, Zhao Jinge, Sterling and David Silva all played.

The double midfielder combination of Yaya Toure and Fernandinho is also stable enough, coupled with the current defense line that is crowned No. 1 in the Premier League.

Newcastle fans who traveled with the team felt very worried when they looked at Manchester City's lineup.

As for the game that started in the afternoon, just as the fans of both sides thought before the game, Manchester City, who played at home, took the initiative almost from the beginning.

Newcastle, who took the lead in kicking off, were forced by Manchester City's counterattack and were unable to secure the ball. They could only throw out the midfielder early and set up a bus.

Benitez's coaching skills are there. Last season, he was able to bring out a Newcastle team with tough defense and unique offense, which won him the love and support of many Magpies fans.

But a good woman cannot make a meal without rice. Once Moussa Sissoko and Wijnaldum left, the midfielder lost both the barrier and the core of the organization. Mitrovic also left in the winter window, and the offensive arrow was gone.

As far as the remaining people in the Newcastle team are concerned, even if you let Mourinho and Guardiola come, you may not be able to knead them into a powerful team.

This season, Benitez can only successfully avoid relegation with Newcastle, and he will definitely not be able to go further.

Because of the two midfielders in a row, the midfield defense line collapsed, and the defense line could not be strengthened. In the previous rounds against strong teams, Newcastle's defense performed very badly.

Zhao Jinge was not polite at all today. He came up to play Newcastle's central defender Coloccini in a one-on-one real man battle. The other Newcastle central defender Lascelles next to him had to focus most of his attention on Zhao Jinge. .

Zhao Jinge directly took away the defensive energy of Newcastle's two major central defenders. The result can be imagined. Sterling and Mane cut in and back from the wing, playing all kinds of tricks!
Newcastle's midfielder was full of holes, with wind leaking everywhere. Almost all Manchester City's midfielders pressed Newcastle's defense to organize and distribute the ball.Mane on the right rushed so hard that Newcastle's left back couldn't take care of himself, and David Silva in the center saw the opportunity and kept sending shells into Newcastle's penalty area.

Only half an hour into the first half, Mane and Sterling scored successfully, helping Manchester City establish a two-goal lead.

Zhao Jinge easily got an assist. Except for the fact that his jersey was a little dirty, he didn't look like he was exerting much effort.

With such a one-sided situation, the Newcastle fans at home were completely silent.

After all, their team can be regarded as one of the traditional powerhouses of the Premier League, and the fans have a strong sense of pride and self-esteem.

The desolate and powerful are powerful after all, and it may take some time for Newcastle fans to accept the reality that their team has been reduced to a relegation team.

Benitez looked at the Etihad Stadium, which he has visited many times, and it was rare that he did not show too much excitement about Manchester City's lead. After all, what can he do if his skills are inferior to others? !

After halftime, Guardiola walked back to the locker room with his disciples with a calm expression, while Benitez was thinking about the tactics of the second half with a sad face. The facial expressions of the two formed a sharp contrast, just like the two The current situation of this team is average.

Just one season has passed and many things have changed, which reflects the unpredictability of the Premier League.

If you want to achieve results, you need to increase your investment. If you don’t invest, you will sell people. If you don’t fall behind, who will fall behind?
Newcastle's current experience can be regarded as a wake-up call to all the powerful players in the Premier League.

If you want to remain strong in the Premier League, you must maintain a large amount of capital investment all year round.

If Manchester City's financial situation becomes tight one day, many players in the team may have to reconsider their future in the team.

This is very realistic, but for aspiring players, it is a very reasonable choice.

They can accept that Manchester City does not have a glorious history. On the premise that they can see the hope of winning the championship and their material needs are guaranteed, everyone is motivated to stay in Manchester City and fight for honors and championships.

But they will never accept the behavior of drawing big cakes.

The reason for rejecting recruitment from other giants is firstly because Zhao Jinge and other core players chose to stay, and Manchester City's strength is not weak. Secondly, because Manchester City has always been generous after the Middle Eastern tycoons took over, and the treatment they gave was very generous.

Otherwise, if you only give 80 million yuan a year, who will risk your life?
To put it bluntly, these days, you have to spend money to play in the top leagues. If you want to seize the league championship from the old giants, how can you have the confidence not to spend seven to eight billion euros? ?
Manchester City failed to renew Zhao Jinge's contract last summer. The signing fee alone cost 2000 to [-] million euros, not to mention the increase in contract salary!

Coupled with the new contracts provided to other championship players who are willing to stay, the salary expenditure can easily exceed [-] million. If Zhao Jinge renews his contract in the next few years and provides the first salary in Europe, the salary expenditure may reach [-] million. Bottomed.

It was also this kind of skill that allowed Manchester City to retain the main framework during the summer window.

Talk about feelings on the premise of material guarantee, that is true love, otherwise it will only embarrass both sides.

Fortunately, Guardiola and the players of Manchester City are also very good now. There is no suspense about this year's Premier League championship. Manchester City is also making great progress in the UEFA Champions League. The senior management of Manchester City are happy and will give another one or two this summer. The transfer fee of [-] million pounds is simply trivial. Even if it costs more than a generation, it can be paid!

Even if David Silva, Yaya Toure and other Manchester City's meritorious old players have to leave after winning the championship this year, with the guarantee of the rich people in the Middle East, Guardiola will have the confidence to make a few more mistakes this summer. The superstars in their early years will supplement the thickness of the team's overall lineup!
If you can’t buy something that is in its prime, you can also buy some semi-finished products for processing. Anyway, you won’t be short of money!
Thinking of this, Guardiola subconsciously looked at Zhao Jinge, who was changing into a clean jersey.

Manchester City can be in today's situation thanks to Zhao Jinge's smooth growth.

Without Zhao Jinge, in his one season in the Premier League, Manchester City would not have been able to win the highly competitive Premier League championship as smoothly as before. At least there would be no hope of winning, and it would take another year.

Without Zhao Jinge, it would be impossible to see Manchester City in the battle for the Champions League trophy, and last summer's dream would not come true!

It can be said that Zhao Jinge is the top priority in the turning point of Manchester City's destiny. Even Guardiola has the opportunity to touch the glory of the Champions League trophy and the Triple Crown in the second team!

With Zhao Jinge here, Manchester City will have a bright future!

"Coach, look at what I'm doing!
Didn’t I just not score in the first half?As for looking at me like this?
It’s not that I don’t want to score, it’s because Raheem and the others are too unique. He has already shot four goals. If you ask him to give me more shooting opportunities in the second half, I promise to score a few beautiful ones for you. "

Zhao Jinge's teasing laughter woke up Guardiola, who was a little distracted. Looking at Sterling who blushed and started to refute Zhao Jinge's teasing, Guardiola also shook his head with a smile.

"Okay, no more joking, come here everyone, let's lay out the tactics for the second half!"

Guardiola calmed down and still told the players not to be careless in the second half and score the third goal early, so they would shrink their formation and control the field earlier.

After this round of league games, the fourth round of the FA Cup will come, and players in the team will still be sent on rotation.

The main players who play in the league today will basically play in the following games, so it is necessary to save some energy.

The Manchester City players naturally nodded in agreement. After the halftime break, with the mentality and fighting spirit of solving the game early, Manchester City launched a ferocious offensive at the beginning of the second half.

Benitez's tactics during the halftime break were obviously intended to stabilize the situation first, but Newcastle's interception and organizational abilities in the middle had dropped too much, making it impossible to fulfill his tactical intentions.

Newcastle only resisted for about ten minutes. When Zhao Jinge received Sterling's cross and beat Coloccini with a header, Newcastle's defensive players lost their will to resist.

The score of three to zero and only about half an hour left disappointed the Newcastle fans.

Therefore, while the Manchester City players were celebrating, many Newcastle fans had already walked out to express their serious dissatisfaction with the team's performance.
