Football: The king of midfield, Guardiola is crying with envy

The broadcast camera immediately showed the celebrities who stood up in the stands.

In the Migu studio, Zhan Encyclopedia Jun immediately found the information of these celebrities from his mind.

"Ah! The one standing and applauding is the F1 racer, Englishman Lando Norris. In addition to supporting the national team, he is also a loyal Manchester City fan."

"Oh!"

The camera immediately showed another person.

"This is Kit Harrington, the male lead of the American TV series "Game of Thrones"! Some time ago, Manchester City officials compared De Bruyne to Verstappen in F1 on social platforms. Harrington's idol is Verstappen!"

Zhang Lu nodded and said,

"Hahaha! It seems that Harrington is destined to be with Manchester City!"

"Hmm!"

Zhan Jun exclaimed.

"This is Iwobi's predecessor, former Nigerian international Amokachi."

"Ah!"

"Zhang Zhi, do you still remember him? The one nicknamed Buffalo in the 1990 and 1994 World Cups!"

Zhang Lu suddenly realized!

"Ah? Ah! Hehe, I remember."

"......"

Manchester City's consecutive goals made the game lose suspense very early.

In the second half, Guardiola immediately made substitutions.

Fulham did not resist anymore, they seemed to accept the fact of losing.

In the end, both teams scored another goal in the second half, and the score was fixed at Manchester City 4-1.

Blue Moon broke into the fifth round!

The fifth round will start with the top 16, and the upper and lower halves will be divided at that time. Manchester City will enter the draw pool for the draw.

With the end of this game, Manchester City players got a short day of rest.

The tension of the second half of the game was reflected at this moment.

If it was earlier in the first half of the season, it would be fine to rest for at least two days, regardless of other things.

But in the second half, with a team like Manchester City fighting on four fronts, how can they have extra time to rest?

What's more, Manchester City still has a league make-up match and a delayed League Cup final to play.

It is worth noting that the time for the League Cup final has been set, which is scheduled for February 24, midweek.

The time for the make-up match with Chelsea has not yet been determined, which depends on the situation of Manchester City and Chelsea in the European war next.

Speaking of the Champions League, Manchester City's opponent in the Champions League knockout round has also been determined, and it is the Portuguese Super League team Sporting CP.

Of course, more people may prefer to call it Sporting Lisbon.

Interestingly, there are many Portuguese in Manchester City, but they are not from Sporting CP, but from Benfica.

Cancelo, Ruben, and B. Silva, they are all from Benfica's youth training.

After playing Fulham, Manchester City does not have to go anywhere, and still stays at home.

On the 9th, the Blue Moon ushered in the second battle with Brentford.

Considering the next match with Sporting CP, Guardiola chose to rotate in this match with Brentford.

Although the players got a lot of rest time during the end of January, there was no big problem with their physical fitness.

But Guardiola is the helmsman of the giant ship of Manchester City. He must start from the overall situation, take one step and look three steps ahead, and consider the follow-up problems.

Therefore, there is no problem for Guardiola to choose to rotate.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that if Brentford is defeated, Manchester City will increase its league record to 18 games, and they will tie their own record of 18 consecutive wins!

So on social platforms, there are many fans who hope that Guardiola can play with all the main players. This is a very good record, and the Blue Moon fans are eager to have it again!

But Guardiola ignored it.

To put it extremely, he is the head coach of the team and he has the "final right of interpretation".

Winning streaks are often dazzling, but they are useless for champions.

Again, he needs to consider the overall situation.

Brentford played with all its main players.

At present, the pressure on the Little Bees to stay in the league is still very high, and they need three points!

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.

Didn't win in Brentford Community, but can they win in Etihad?

In this game, Manchester City shot 26 times and scored three goals, and finally defeated the Little Bees with a score of 3-0!

There is no way, the strength gap is there, and Frank's on-the-spot dispatch is useless.

After the game, a photo of Chen Chen, Frank and Frank's assistant Klaus Neergaard stopped to chat was on the regional hot search.

Many Little Bees fans said "My youth is back"!

Some even threatened to start crowdfunding on social media to buy Chen Chen back.

In response, all fans were silent.

Let alone Chen Chen is not for sale in Manchester City, its 1.55 billion, can Brentford afford it?

No matter how rich Matthew Benham is, he has to weigh the pros and cons.

After defeating Brentford, Manchester City has increased its league winning streak to 18 games!

Many media said, "Manchester City is creating its own glory!"

However, Manchester City has no intention to listen to all this. The day after the match with Brentford, the Blue Moon Army flew to Lisbon, Portugal.

Although it is said that the Portuguese in Manchester City are all "made in Benfica", it does not mean that Sporting CP has no talents.

This year, there are many future top five league players in this Sporting CP team, such as Mateus Nunez who will join Manchester City in the future, Ugarte who will join Manchester United, Polo who will join Tottenham, and Palinha who will join Bayern.

It is said that Ajax is a European youth training camp. In fact, strictly speaking, these players in the Portuguese Super League are not bad.

Porto, Benfica, Sporting Lisbon...

It should be noted that the name "black shop" was first used to describe Porto. Porto once created a record of "16 players sold for 443.6 million euros"!

You should know that when these 16 players entered Porto, Porto only spent 81.05 million euros for them!

This in and out is nearly 5.5 times the difference, Porto deserves the title of a black shop.

So the question is, why can Porto sell so high?

The players themselves are strong.

More reasons are because of the Portuguese Mendes' promotion behind the scenes!

Mendes is worthy of being the first transfer expert in Europe. Under his leadership, the profit from selling players will be maximized.

Pepe, who was bought for 2 million euros, was sold to Real Madrid for 30 million under his treatment. There must be a premium, but Real Madrid is a rich family, and it is not a waste not to slaughter.

And there is an interesting point here.

Mendes not only promoted Pepe's joining Real Madrid, but also indirectly promoted Pepe's joining the Portuguese national team.

Pepe has dual citizenship of Brazil and Portugal. At that time, he was a hot commodity in Brazil and Portugal.

Back to the present, Mendes is quite helpless about the fact that Chen Chen did not sell for a high price.

If Chen Chen was a player of Porto, Mendes swore that he would raise Chen Chen's transfer price to more than 100 million!

This is not impossible.

If Chen Chen was really a player of the Portuguese Super League, he would definitely have a transfer fee of more than 100 million.

Unfortunately, his contract has a penalty of 30 million. His success is due to his English household registration, and his failure is also due to his English household registration.

Of course, the additional signing fee and other expenses can make up for this a little.

Finally, Manchester City is considering renewing the contract with Chen Chen before the end of the 2021/22 season, when Chen Chen's salary level will reach the top two levels of Manchester City!
