Chapter 767 Su Dong's Reverse Scale
With the first round of the Premier League coming to an end, the Premier League teams can be described as mixed.

The two teams that performed the worst in the warm-up match became the most eye-catching teams in the first round of the league.

Manchester City defeated Tottenham Hotspur [-]-[-] away, and Chelsea beat West Bromwich Albion [-]-[-] at home. These two teams, which were controversial before the start of the game, both showed extraordinary strength.

On the last day of the Premier League, Manchester United defeated Newcastle [-]-[-] at home and also scored three points.

In contrast, Liverpool and Arsenal felt a little bit in love with each other, shaking hands one to one to make peace.

After the first round, Chelsea directly jumped to the top of the standings with a goal difference advantage.

Carlo Ancelotti's side have always been the top favorites for the Premier League title this season.

……

Although the league has started, the signings are still going on.

After Ancelotti publicly expressed his favor for Santos genius Neymar at the post-match press conference, there was a lot of speculation about Neymar's transfer.

Some media revealed that Chelsea has directly sent Santos a sky-high price of 500 million euros, but Neymar and Santos' liquidated damages are as high as 5000 million euros, which is only 500 million euros. It is really difficult to persuade Santos to release him.

Especially Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester City and other teams are all watching, as long as Santos let go, they will immediately rush forward.

In addition to Neymar, Santos also has another young midfielder, Ganso, who has attracted the attention of many European giants.

Neymar's playing style is a bit like Robinho back then. In fact, he was also identified by Santos as the best candidate to succeed Robinho, while Ganso's playing style was very similar to Zidane back then.

Therefore, Neymar is concerned by European giants, and Ganso is equally unambiguous.

In the latest roster of the Brazilian national team, this teenager is impressively listed, and in the warm-up match against the United States, they all showed very good performances, which made the outside world place high hopes on the two Brazilian internationals, and their value has skyrocketed.

This seems to have become a norm for Brazilian players in recent years.

With the jewels of Ronaldo in the past, later like Robinho, and now Neymar, they all want to follow the path of Ronaldo back then. The clubs they belong to are not willing to lower the price, but after a hype, let more rich teams enter the field and drive up the value of the players.

Not only the club, but also many agents and third-party owners are contributing to the flames.

As for whether the players can play out after they arrive in Europe, and whether they can meet the expectations of the outside world, who cares?

……

Manchester City is also interested in Neymar, but for Manchester City today, the most urgent thing is not to introduce foreign aid, but the Premier League's [-] plus [-] policy.

After the team played Tottenham Hotspur and returned to Manchester, Manchester City announced that they had defeated Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and other teams from Queens Park Rangers at a price of 200 million pounds, and signed the local youth training player Raheem Sterling.

In an interview with the media, Sterling said that among the attention of many Premier League giants, he chose Manchester City. The main reason is that Manchester City has the best players in the world.

"When I first started playing football, my father let me watch Sudong. He was still in Portugal, but I was very impressed, so I wanted to play like him."

Sterling said that he had almost talked with other teams, but after hearing that Su Dong came to Manchester City, he changed his mind, "I hope to be able to learn by his side, which will be a valuable asset to me."

And what Sterling said, the team that was very close to signing him was Liverpool.

For this reason, Liverpool also had a fight with Manchester City, thinking that Manchester City's actions violated the rules, but Manchester City retorted, thinking that they did not violate the rules, and that the players themselves chose to change their minds and joined Manchester City.

Although Sterling was signed, this player will not be able to play for the first team until at least the winter break. He must be at least 16 years old, right?
Therefore, after signing Sterling, Manchester City has sought many players one after another.

Combined with Guardiola's request, Manchester City has successively inspected Manchester United's youth player Cleverley, Arsenal's youth player Wilshere, Sunderland midfielder Jordan Henderson, and Everton player Rodwell and so on.

Among them, the first three players are all players that Guardiola admires very much, but Cleverley is the most important youth training treasure of Manchester United Ferguson, and Wilshere is Wenger's high hopes. He believes that he will become the potential stock of England's world-class midfielder in the future.
Jordan Henderson was Sunderland's best player last season and the best young player in the Premier League. Manchester City wanted to sign him, but Sunderland's asking price was too high, and the two sides failed to negotiate.

This is actually no wonder.

The whole world knows that Manchester City desperately needs local players, and they all know that Manchester City is rich and powerful, so why don't they all kill Manchester City like Zai Kaizi?

After several failed negotiations, Begiristan switched targets and brought in versatile Milner from Aston Villa.

Among English players, Milner has good skills, but compared with David Silva and others, he is still far behind.

Signing him, Manchester City considered many aspects.

One is that Milner is 24 years old and has many years of experience in the Premier League. Second, he is a rare all-rounder who can play in many different positions, which is a very good choice in a team.

Regardless of Milner's small name, his worth is very high, a full 3000 million euros. This price can basically sign Barcelona's Yaya Toure and David Silva back then.

In contrast, Toni Kroos, a German genius midfielder who is younger and more famous, only costs more than 1000 million euros, only half of Milner's, which can be called a model of high quality and low price.

But there is no way. After the New Deal came out, the local household registration book in England has become more valuable.

Signing Milner, coupled with Trippier, Micah Richards, Michael Johnson and others promoted by the youth team, Manchester City barely made up the quota of eight local players.

However, Begiristain has already proposed a plan. In the next few years, Manchester City will search for young players from the outside to enrich their own youth training camp. After three years of training, these players will become local youth training in England, and they can perfectly avoid the New Deal.

Not only Manchester City do this, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool all do this.

The current strong purchasing power of the Premier League is not only reflected in adult players, but also in youth teams.

……

As the captain of the team and the first batch of new players brought in after taking office, Su Dong gave full play to his duties as captain.

He first called the two new aids in advance to learn about their situation and the help they needed after they came to Manchester, such as housing, transportation, food and so on.

The club has a dedicated person in charge, but Su Dong personally asked questions, showing his concern for the new players, which will be of great help in managing the locker room and helping the new players integrate into the team.

Among them, Sterling's request is more special, that is, he hopes to get a set of signed jerseys from Su Dong, saying that he wants to collect them.

Su Dong was also not stingy, and directly gave him a set as a gift for the first meeting.

As for helping new players integrate into the team, this is a long-term process.

Although he is the captain, but the game is busy and the tasks are heavy, it is impossible for Su Dong to ask every detail.

…………

…………

On the third day after playing Tottenham Hotspur, that is, the second day after Milner and Sterling joined the team, the Manchester City team set off collectively and traveled long distances to Romania.

This is the first leg of the Europa League fourth qualifying round.

Manchester City entered the Europa League as sixth in the Premier League. According to the rules, they should participate in the final round of qualifiers.

The opponent is the Romanian team, Timi Suara.

This is an unknown team. It ranked fifth in the Romanian League One last season. There are no well-known players in the team, and many players' names are particularly awkward.

However, this team has a person Su Dong is very familiar with.

That is Timi Suara's head coach, Vladimir Petrovic.

When I heard this name at first, it is estimated that many Chinese fans would not recognize him, because in China, he has another name.

Folado!
At the beginning, Su Dong had no impression of him at all, but when he got Folado's resume, he discovered that he had coached the Chinese Dalian team and the Chinese national team, which surprised him very much.

After comparing the time, Su Dong was sure that the head coach of Timi Suara was the former coach of the national football team, Folado?
Before the game, Folado had a special conversation with Su Dong.

The only thing the two have in common is the national team.

Folado said that when he was coaching the national football team, he tried many times to recruit Su Dong into the national team. He even wrote Su Dong's name in every training list, but he was rejected by the superiors on the grounds of non-compliance.

"I believe that if you are here, the Chinese team will definitely be able to enter the World Cup."

Regarding these words, Su Dong kept smiling politely.

Where in this world did it come from?

……

Although they talked well off the court, Folado also frequently wanted to sell favors to Su Dong, but in the game, Su Dong did not hold back. No. 30 minutes relied on a free kick created by David Silva to score directly.

After changing sides in the second half, Su Dong first assisted David Silva and scored another goal. Then he also received Di Maria's cross and scored twice. In stoppage time, Gareth Barry's long shot pierced the opponent's goal.

In the end, Manchester City beat Timi Suara [-]-[-] away.

This made Folado very depressed.

It's useless to dare to talk hard before the game and play the emotional card!

How did Folado know that to mention the national football team in front of Su Dong, wouldn't this touch his back?
