Chapter 702 Why Are You Uneasy About Playing Cards?

Chapter 702 Why Are You Uneasy About Playing Cards?
Manchester City is indeed making two-handed preparations this season. On the one hand, it is striving to enter the European theater in the league, and on the other hand, it is stepping up efforts in the cup competition, hoping to make a difference in the cup competition.

The League Cup reached the semi-finals, but encountered rivals Manchester United in the same city.

The upcoming two-legged semi-final in February will be a considerable test for Manchester City.

The league has always been difficult to improve, and the cup has encountered a strong enemy. The possibility of Manchester City qualifying for the European war is not great.

For this, Soriano and Begiristan both know it well.

Mansour's face also became ugly, because he invested so much money to form such a team, but the results still did not improve much, which has to be said to be a very shocking thing.

Guardiola's Manchester City can be said to have been completely overthrown and rebuilt. After Mark Hughes stepped down, Guardiola took office. From Mansour and Mubarak, to Soriano and Begiristan, they all supported him, so he can clean up players he doesn't want like Robinho as he likes, or reject players he doesn't want like Tevez.

It can be said that he is drawing a blueprint for Manchester City from a blank sheet of paper.

From the current point of view, the blueprint drawn by Guardiola is very interesting. From a certain strategic height, it is very surprising, because this Premier League team plays a pass-and-hold ball similar to Barcelona.

But in competitive sports, after all, it still depends on the results. If the results are not good, it is useless to say anything.

Therefore, Guardiola is very controversial now.

Both the media and the fans felt that this guy was going to die, he should leave get out of class as soon as possible, he was purely a parallel coach.

But in the eyes of many professionals, Guardiola's coaching is still worth discussing.

……

"To be honest, I'm a little surprised." Mentioning Manchester City's results, Su Dong smiled wryly.

"I originally thought that this season's Manchester City would perform steadily in the league, and the cup competition would be more hip. But I didn't expect that the League Cup would reach the semi-finals, but the league would be out of ten."

Su Dong made his judgment based on his understanding of Guardiola's coaching style.

The biggest feature of Guardiola's Manchester City is stability, stable passing and control, and lack of sharp explosive points. Di Maria and Sanchez both have strong personal abilities, but both players have great limitations.

Looking carefully at Manchester City's games this season, it is not difficult to find that Guardiola often lets Santa Cruz pull to the ribs to respond. He just wants to play the combination of the opponent's full-back and central defender, but the effect is not good. Santa Cruz is obviously not suitable for this style of play.

This kind of team that is stable and lacks explosive points should do well in the league.

Because the league focuses on protracted battles and relies on overall strength. Manchester City is definitely not bad in this regard. The overall strength will definitely rank among the top six in the Premier League. On the contrary, in the more targeted cup games where the battles are resolved within 180 minutes, Manchester City performed well. This really makes it difficult for Su Dong to understand.

Football is like this sometimes, it is difficult to have a set pattern.

Both Soriano and Begiristan understood Su Dong’s thoughts, and immediately explained the reason to Mansour, then smiled at Su Dong: “The main reason is that the style of the Premier League is different from other leagues. The pace here is too fast.”

"Yeah, when the pace is fast, the pass and control of the midfielder is not well connected. After a mistake, it is easy to be quickly counterattacked by the opponent. This becomes very fatal. Many times conceded or even lost the ball, it happened like this."

Using offense instead of defense, or in other words, Guardiola's Manchester City uses control instead of defense, there will be a problem.

That is, when you have a bad offense or bad possession, the defense will also become very hip.

At this time, it is particularly important whether there are stars with super personal abilities sitting in front of them.

Not to mention anything else, if Su Dong is there, Manchester City will have a very stable support point in front of them that will not lose the ball easily. Even if the ball is intercepted and counterattacked, Su Dong will be in front, and the opponent will not dare to press heavily.

Now, who meets Su Dong and dares to let him one-on-one?

Even if it's a counterattack, don't you have to leave two or even three players behind?
Sometimes football is a game of jigsaw puzzles.

……

Soriano and Begiristan made a special trip to Abu Dhabi, the purpose is to persuade Sudong to join Manchester City.

The two are still full of confidence in Guardiola's coaching, because Manchester City is indeed undergoing earth-shaking changes under Guardiola's training. More importantly, it is difficult for Manchester City to find a head coach who is more suitable than Guardiola and has a stronger technical and tactical level.

Mansour also promised in person that he has no upper limit for his investment in Manchester City. He hopes to make Manchester City a business card and make this team a top giant in the Premier League and even European football.

"I know, it's not easy, and it needs the help of a superstar like you."

But even so, Su Dong still didn't give a positive response. He only said that he would seriously consider it and study it with his team. He said euphemistically that many of the decisions he made now were beyond his control.

Mansour, Soriano and Begiristan also expressed their understanding and hoped to get a positive answer from Sudong. Manchester City welcomes Sudong at any time.

Not only that, Mansour also revealed that he had talked about Pepe with Nehringer, and hoped to see Su Dong and Pepe join Manchester City together, which would be a great thing for Manchester City.

……

Watching Sudong leave, Mansur couldn't hide his loss.

From the beginning to the end, Su Dong did not clearly express any wishes, which was somewhat contrary to his previous expectations.

According to his original thinking, shouldn't he come forward in person, give him a big deal, and then promise him a sky-high annual salary, so that Su Dong was so moved that he agreed to transfer to Manchester City on the spot?

The plot doesn't seem to follow his script!

Su Dong didn't follow the routine at all.

Soriano and Begiristan had expected this to be the case.

In fact, neither of them agreed to meet Sudong in Abu Dhabi, not because of anything else, but because the timing was not ripe enough.

But Mansur was a little too anxious, and wanted to lock Sudong early to avoid being preempted by other teams.

This is actually not difficult to understand.

It can only be said that Mansur really has "true love" for Sudong.

"Actually, it's a good thing to talk about it. Although he didn't agree, he didn't refuse. This shows that he is not opposed to joining our Manchester City. I guess he is more worried about the results." Begiristain comforted.

Soriano nodded, "With Su Dong's strength and status, we must at least enter the European theater to match him. Moreover, he not only has to consider himself, but also considers the interests of sponsors. For a superstar of his level, to be honest, which team to transfer to is as he said, and sometimes he can't help himself."

Others don't know how many sponsorship contracts are tied to Su Dong, but Soriano knows better.

The more sponsorship, the more income, which is a good thing, but in direct proportion, the greater the responsibility.

To give a simple example, the sponsor signed Su Dong because he can play in the Champions League.

Well, if Su Dong transfers to Manchester City, and Manchester City can't play the Champions League, not to mention the Europa League, what will Su Dong's current sponsors think?With his interests damaged, will he sue Su Dong for compensation in a fit of anger?
At this time, Su Dong needs more time to think and prepare.

At least get a sponsor.

Mansour actually doesn't know much about football, and he doesn't know much about superstars like Su Dong. Hearing Soriano and Begiristan's analysis, he immediately felt that he should really think carefully.

More importantly, Su Dong is the athlete with the highest commercial value in the world.

Note that not only football players, but all athletes have the highest commercial value.

The reason why Manchester City chose Su Dong, and the reason why Soriano concluded that the joining of Su Dong can bring Manchester City an opportunity to transform, is because of this. He has amazing commercial value that other superstars can hardly match.

Not to mention anything else, looking at Bayern's rapid revenue growth in recent years, it is not difficult to see the value of Su Dong.

……

Su Dong left Mansur's luxurious private room and took the elevator back to Bayern's floor.

He has received many promises from Manchester City from Mendes before, including annual salary, bonuses, and various treatments and conditions. It can be said that the sincerity given by Manchester City is still very high.

From Mansour's conversation tonight, Su Dong can also appreciate Manchester City's sincerity to him.

He is not disgusted with Manchester City. He neither has the bad impression of the so-called nouveau riche that many people have, nor does he look down on Manchester City, because he knows that as long as Manchester City continues to invest, as long as Guardiola plays normally, I believe that it will not be long before Manchester City will become a competitive team in the Premier League.

To some extent, Guardiola's tactics are still very attractive to Sudong.

However, Mendes was right. The initiative in this matter was in Su Dong's hands, and he didn't need to make a decision in such a hurry.

For Su Dong now, the most important thing is to ensure his performance at Bayern.

He is eager to win three consecutive Champions League titles, complete the tasks given by the Road to King system, upgrade as soon as possible, and open up a whole new world. Everything has to wait until this season is completed.

In order to complete this task, Su Dong has been waiting for five years, and the realization is imminent. He doesn't want to be distracted and think too much about other things at this time.

Only after the end of the season, regardless of whether the task is finally completed, Su Dong will make a decision.

……

When Su Dong returned to the hotel room, he found that in addition to Pepe, who was in the same room, Marcelo and Tony Cross were also there.

Needless to say Marcelo, Toni Kroos has a pretty good relationship with Sudong, especially recently, he gave Sudong a hat-trick of assists, and his performance is also remarkable.

When seeing Tony Cross, Su Dong suddenly remembered something.
