my team is going to attack

Chapter 165 Trouble
It's 2011, and when I woke up in the morning, I saw that the Santa Claus at the door on the street hadn't been taken down yet, and I checked the time, it was already January 1st.

I have been coaching the first team for almost a year and a half. The position of the head coach of the first team is indeed very different from the head coach of the training camp. The simplest and most obvious thing is that at least the pressure everyone faces is very different.

Su Bai felt that he was 30 years old, almost 31 years old, already a bit old, and gray hair seemed to appear on his head.

In the past month, because Yaya was here, she was able to go to bed on time every night. If she hadn't been treated so well before.

January 1st marks the arrival of the winter transfer period. Apart from the lack of left-back position in Manchester City's current formation, there are not many flaws in other lines.

But Su Bai had to be on guard against some players who wanted to leave. There were too many players in Manchester City's team who performed well this season, and the European giants would surely open their blood bottles and pounce on Manchester City like sharks smelling blood.

When Su Bai came to the training ground, no other players came over for the time being. If nothing unexpected happened, Su Bai might be the first coach to appear at the Manchester City training ground every morning.

Looking at the watch, it was just a little past eight o'clock, and the team's training time started at nine o'clock.

Back in my office, I turned on the computer to check the news, and the first thing that caught my eye was the news about Liverpool.

Mrs. Huo, Hodgson is out of class. It is very rare for him to last until the middle of the season. The league has gone through 20 rounds. Hodgson has led the team to seven wins, four draws and nine losses, ranking tenth in the league with a few 25 points .

Don't talk about competing for the championship this season, it will be difficult to even compete for the fourth.

In fact, Hodgson's performance in leading the team in the next two months was not bad, but the previous start was too muddled, and he dug a big hole for himself, which was not easy to fill.

The one who took over the position of Liverpool coach was the famous Liverpool king Dalglish, but he was only a temporary head coach, not an official bishop.

With Hodgson's departure, Torres, the most valuable player in the Liverpool team, has also become the sweet pastry of various giants.

It is almost a foregone conclusion that Torres will leave Liverpool. It just depends on who can introduce him in the end. Torres still wants to achieve good results. Leaving the quagmire of Liverpool is definitely the best choice.

Su Bai has no idea about Torres, after all, Manchester City now has a better candidate for the center forward position, but if their Red Army captain Gerrard is willing to leave, Su Bai will be very happy to offer him a big gift.

Write down this matter with a note, and find a time to discuss it with Mubarak to see if there is any opportunity. If you accidentally introduce Gerrard, that would be a good thing.

The first-team player Su Bai didn't want to make any moves. Some players from the youth team could come out and play their own role, such as his compatriot Sanshi, and the most famous black and white Shuangsha in the youth team, Kanter and Arthur, They also need to find a team for them to exercise.

Sanshi does not have a work permit, so he must not be able to play football in England. It is still a team in the Eredivisie or Belgium. I believe that with Sanshi's strength, he should have the opportunity to play in those small teams.

In addition, with Su Bai as the guarantee, no one in European football knows that Su Bai has the best vision, and he has never made a mistake when he has his eyes on players.

In the first month of the new year, Manchester City had a total of eight games, three of which were against Arsenal, one in the league and two in the League Cup. The League Cup has reached the semi-finals and has become a two-round match.

On the 2nd, the 21st round of the league, the opponent is the relegation team Blackpool, sitting at the Etihad Stadium, yes, starting on the 1st, the city stadium officially changed its name to the Etihad, with a new name and a new atmosphere, 3:0 at home After winning the opponent, Kaka once again scored a goal and an assist, Ibrahimovic and Cahill scored, and Manchester City added three points to the points.

And Chelsea tied again this round, 3:3, before the end of the final game, they were equalized by Villa. Now they only have 38 points, ranking fourth in the league. Compared with Manchester City's 58 points, they are 20 points less. point.

It can be said that Chelsea has withdrawn from the competition for the league championship this season. Of course Abramovich is not satisfied, and Chelsea fans will not be satisfied either. This point may be the least points that Abramovich has won in 21 rounds since he joined the team. once.

The lineup is the same. He was able to win the championship last season, but this season he withdrew from the championship competition early. Such a gap is hard for Abramovich to accept. Facing the media, he also expressed his opinion.

"Carlo has done a good job. Now that we have entered the knockout round of the Champions League, we will definitely enter the next round. Our goal should be in the Champions League, and the league title is not that I don't want to win it, it is Manchester City It was so stable over there that it was difficult for us to get another chance."

"For Carlo's coaching, I think he has done a good job so far. The club is very clear about the situation of the team. Therefore, in this winter, we will make great moves, so please believe in Carlo. Lo."

"For the transfer situation, we already have quite a few targets, such as Torres, such as Kaka, such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, we believe we will introduce one or two top players to join the team."

Abramovich did not just talk, he did so. Su Bai quickly received an offer from Chelsea, Kaka 6500 million, and Ibrahimovic reached 5000 million. It can only be said that Abramovich is serious this time.

Su Bai was surprised by Kaka's 6500 million. This offer was still the price when Kaka transferred from Milan to Real Madrid. After two years, Kaka suffered several serious injuries. I didn't expect Abramovich to offer such a price.

Su Bai just took a look and didn't express his opinion. He believed that Kaka would not leave Manchester City. Even if Chelsea's current head coach was his acquaintance, Kaka probably would not leave.

In fact, Su Bai's judgment was not wrong. When Kaka received Ancelotti's call, he told him directly that he would not leave Manchester City, at least not now.

And Ibrahimovic was somewhat moved, the most important thing was his agent Mino Raiola came to persuade, an obvious fact, in Manchester City, although Ibrahimovic is a center forward, but his status is not very high, Not to mention comparing with Bell and Lewandowski, even the teenager Royce is taller than him in the hearts of Manchester City fans.

Why is this happening?

Ibrahimovic also couldn't figure it out, he was the one who attacked Manchester City, but the media and fans praised Bell or Rakitic for the assists.

This situation became more obvious after Kaka's comeback. Ibrahimovic watched Kaka surpass himself step by step. The core of the attack in the frontcourt before was himself, and the ball revolved around himself. When the ball reached the frontcourt, first of all The person you are looking for is yourself.

After Kaka came back, the end point of the offense became Kaka, and although Ibrahimovic is still the starting center, he also scored a lot of goals. Now he ranks first in the team with 15 goals.

The problem is that there is no tactical core, which makes Ibrahimovic very unhappy.

Of course, the biggest problem is that Ibrahimovic feels that he is neglecting in Manchester City.

So, when Raiola told him that both Chelsea and AC Milan wanted to introduce him, Ibrahimovic wavered.

The game against Arsenal is coming soon, Manchester City's training is very heavy, when Ibrahimovic's training appears to be slack, Su Bai immediately discovered the clue, what happened.

Before he had time to find Ibrahimovic, Raiola came to him. Although Su Bai didn't like this fat man very much, he had to go to see him. After all, several of Manchester City's players were his players.

Raiola is different from another super agent, Mendes, who looks more like a successful person, and this fat man with a big belly does not look like a big agent who can dominate European football .

"Su, we meet again."

Raiola smiled like a Neilford, the fat on his face almost covered his eyes.

"Okay, Mino, just tell me what you have, you know, I don't like wasting time." Su Bai didn't give this guy much face, and the latter didn't get angry when he heard what Su Bai said, and his smile was still so kind.

This kind of talent is even more terrifying, and Su Bai's heart is also full of energy.

"Mario has been doing nothing in Inter Milan for half a season, I wonder if we can let him come to Manchester City?" He first mentioned Balotelli's matter, but if he didn't say anything, Su Bai would think that Balotelli was also his player. I forgot this thing, it can only be said that he really doesn't have much feeling for Balotelli.

There was silence for a while, Santa Cruz is leaving, that's for sure, and his time in Manchester City is coming to an end, he has only played two or three times this season, and he can still play in the cup.

I've gotten through with Su Bai a long time ago, and now I'm looking at Blackburn's offer. Santa Cruz still hopes to return to Blackburn. Perhaps only there can he play football happily and healthily.

Without one Santa Cruz, Manchester City has only three center forwards, which is definitely not enough, and it is not impossible for Balotelli to come over.

"Okay, let's see when he comes over, we can arrange training here."

This also works.

Raiola was going to ask Balotelli to open the topic from the very beginning, but he didn't expect to be surprised. As a top agent, he would know Balotelli's potential, but he also knew Balotelli best. For Teli, Mino Raiola is actually not very optimistic about Balotelli. There are too many talented players, but how many young talents will die young.

"Okay, then I will arrange for Mario to come over as soon as possible." Raiola sat opposite Su Bai, and picked up the teacup Su Bai gave him. Like a person who often drinks tea, he tasted it slowly.

Su Bai really wanted to say something, I also took a gulp, how could I taste it slowly.

"That, Su, I have talked with Ibrahimovic, I hope you can let us go," Raiola put down the teacup, and said the purpose of today.

Ok?
Ibrahimovic going?How is it possible? Su Bai doesn't believe it. He has only been here for half a season, and he is still the team's main center forward and the team's top scorer. Manchester City looks good this season and has a chance to win multiple championships. Ibrahimovic has a chance What is the reason to go.

Su Bai glanced at Raiola on the opposite side. It's not the fat man who caused the trouble, "Yes, you can get a non-English Premiership team to get enough transfer money, that's not a problem."

If Ibrahimovic really wants to leave at this time, in Su Bai's view, it is impossible for there to be no more than 5000 million euros. In European football, there are not many who can pay this price, and there are several teams in the Premier League , Su Bai will not let him transfer to a competitor.

"Not a Premier League team?" Raiola frowned, and made a mistake. Chelsea is definitely the most sincere team. There is no one. The most important thing is that he has absolute money. Abramovich can pay the transfer amount. Others It's really hard.

"That's right. I won't let Ibrahimovic go to a competitor in the league at this time. This is my bottom line. Of course, the transfer amount must not be small." Su Bai still didn't believe that Ibrahimovic wanted to leave by himself, and waited This guy wants to talk to Ibrahimovic alone when he leaves. No wonder he hasn't been very focused on training these days.

"Ibrahimovic has been in Manchester City for half a season. He has scored so many goals for the team and is the team's top scorer. For the sake of his goals for Manchester City, I hope you don't have too much trouble in the transfer. Much obstruction."

"You should know me," Su Bai interrupted him, "If you really feel that you have made great contributions to Manchester City, you won't leave Manchester City at this time."

I didn’t talk with Raiola for too long, and the two couldn’t agree. When Raiola walked out of the Manchester City training ground, he was caught by the reporter, “I’m here to discuss Barrio’s affairs with Sue. other things."

Raiola did not disclose the news about Ibrahimovic, but the English media are notoriously smart and shameless. I don’t care if you are discussing Balotelli or Ibrahimovic, I will decide anyway, and then , Various appalling reports appeared on the Internet that day.

"Su Bai will lose his best weapon, who will Ibrahimovic get?"

"Raiola showed up at City's training camp to discuss Ibrahimovic's future."

"After Ibrahimovic left, how much impact will it have on Manchester City?"
-
It's very messy, Su Bai may not have time to read the news, but he had to answer the phone call, Ferguson, Wenger, Ancelotti and others all called, especially Ancelotti, very much hope that Su Bai can Transfer Ibrahimovic to them.

The team's training was also disrupted. On the 6th, they were about to play Arsenal in the 22nd round of the league. Su Bai made a quick move, but before he could find Ibrahimovic, the latter was caught by reporters first.

"I didn't think about leaving Manchester City now. I am very happy here. There are many good teammates here. Of course I hope to continue playing in Manchester City," Ibrahimovic was asked if he wanted to leave Manchester City. time, replied like this.

"However, I still hope that I can take on more tactical requirements in the team, rather than being a terminator, but these all depend on the arrangement of the head coach, and I have no opinion."

No objection, you also said that you will take on more tactical requirements, who are you lying to?

Su Bai really wanted to review whether there was something wrong with his signings. The first Robben only played for half a season, and the second Santa Cruz was injured on the field, and he didn't play a few games in a season. Contest.

Another Ibrahimovic, how could he leave because of this matter?
Sure enough, if you didn't grow up in Manchester City, it's hard to be with Manchester City, especially these offensive players.
