Chapter 260 Left Back (23100)

Duncan is only responsible for making suggestions, and the specific operation is left to Gary Cook and Fahim.And what Duncan has to do is to lead the first team well.

After all, he has limited energy, so it would be nice to be able to make suggestions.

In the 16th round of the Premier League, Manchester City challenged Fulham away.

Fulham is now ranked 11th, and their performance is not good, but it is not bad either.

In the past two years, Fulham's performance has improved steadily. After Hodgson took office this season, he has greatly transformed the team. Not only did he introduce many new players, but he also innovated in his style of play.Although there is no significant improvement in performance, the current atmosphere of the team is very good.

Sitting at Craven Farm, facing Manchester City, Hodgson's team was very active.

But only positive.

0: 4!
The home team is in front of the visiting team.

Manchester City won a big away game.

"Does Liverpool still have the strength to catch up?" Duncan said at the post-match press conference, whipping Beni Tesla out again.

Manchester United was left behind for the time being, while Liverpool suffered an unexpected draw in this round.

The points of the two teams were stretched to 5 points.

"It's not halfway through the league yet, so we don't know who will win!" Benitez shot back.

On the other side of the standings, Bolton is unbeaten in four rounds and has rushed to 14th in the league, while Tottenham is 17th, barely out of the relegation zone.

The best coach in November was given to Bolton coach Megson.In five games, except for the loss to Manchester City, he achieved a record of one draw and three wins.

That's pretty impressive for a team that's at the bottom of the list.

So the FA awarded him the head coach of the month.

As for the best player, it is naturally Shevchenko who played in five games and scored six goals.

In the direct competition with Ronaldo, he defeated the opponent's team, which is a very intuitive result.

With the upcoming devil's schedule, it is very important to be able to hold on.

……

On December 12, "French Football" announced the selection results of the 7 Ballon d'Or. Ronaldo won the European Ballon d'Or with 2008 points, beating Shevchenko's 341 points.

This selection has caused huge controversy, because although Ronaldo's personal performance in the past year is good, Manchester City's performance is also not bad. They even beat Manchester United to win the league championship.

Public opinion generally believes that Manchester United's Champions League champion and Ronaldo's Premier League Golden Boot gave him extra points.

On December 12th, Manchester City traveled to the Netherlands for the last match of the Champions League group stage against Eindhoven.

One qualified ahead of time, the other exited early, and the two teams fought without any scruples. In the end, Manchester City won the game 4:3 in the away game.

With a record of five wins and one tie in six games, Manchester City has qualified with their heads held high!
After this round, the Champions League group stage was settled, and the Premier League continued its strength in recent years. All four participating teams qualified and reached the top 16.

The draw will be held on December 12th.

On December 12th, in the 13th round of the Premier League, Manchester City played against Everton at home, and after a difficult 17-minute game, with Thiago Silva's header, they took away a 90 game from the away game. :1 wins.

On December 12, when the whole of Europe and America began to enter the Christmas atmosphere, Manchester City ushered in the quarter-finals of the League Cup.

The opponent is Tottenham led by Lao Lei.

This is the third time the two have played against each other within half a year.

And the result was also not unexpected.Relying on a deeper bench lineup, Manchester City defeated Tottenham 3:0 and advanced to the semi-finals of the League Cup.The other three teams that broke into the semi-finals are Burnley, Manchester United and Derby County.

The semi-final matches are Manchester City vs Burnley and Manchester United vs Derby County.

The semi-finals will be played in two rounds, home and away.

The draw for the Champions League round of 16 was held on the same day.

Gary Cook, who drew lots on behalf of the team, drew a team that no one wanted to touch-Real Madrid.

As soon as the result came out, Cook's face turned dark instantly.

Public opinion from the outside world is also generally pessimistic about Manchester City.Although Real Madrid has been fighting among themselves in recent years, it seems that Manchester City cannot compete.

In the other pairs of opponents, Manchester United drew Inter Milan, Arsenal played against Lyon, and Chelsea played against Juventus.

In February of the coming year, Manchester City and Real Madrid will have a knockout match first away and then host.

In addition, there is a bad news.

In the negotiations to introduce Chiellini, Gary Cook said that the transfer failed.

Chiellini was the number one player on Duncan's transfer list.

For this reason, Gary Cook even prepared a transfer fee of more than 4000 million pounds.

This price even far exceeds the 3000 million pounds that Manchester United bought Ferdinand six years ago, which is already very expensive for a defender.

But both the player and the Juventus club said that the player has no intention of transferring.

Although he was only 24 years old, Chiellini became the main force of Juventus very early, and also occupied the main position in the national team.

In the face of the high salary offered by Manchester City, Chiellini said no.

In terms of career development, Juventus is still on the rise, and Chiellini has a better future in Juventus than in Manchester City.

In terms of income, as a giant, Juventus can also offer Chiellini a high salary.

Manchester City has no attraction for Chiellini.

Chiellini has no reason to leave Juventus.

Moreover, Manchester City is of no benefit to Chiellini in terms of status or development.Moreover, joining Manchester City will also be labeled as a bad reputation of "seeing money".

There are always people who cherish fame.

This actually reflects the current embarrassment of Manchester City. They have money but cannot buy people.

As a mid-range team, Manchester City has a strong financial strength that does not match their reputation and strength, but it is not very attractive to players.

The superstars you want are usually in the rich teams, and you can't just dig them with money.

After spending a lot of money, you can only buy some second-rate stars and up-and-coming Mavericks.

That's why the team executives are so interested in Robinho, because this is one of the club's few world-class stars that can be bought.

The first goal failed. On Duncan's signing list, the No.2 left-back candidate is his inevitable choice.

Ashley Young.

England left Angel, Yang Zuoshi.

Ashley Young is currently playing for Aston Villa and is a left-wing angel under Martin O'Neill.

Although he has an easy-to-black physique, Ashley Young is still a real thigh in Aston Villa. As a left winger, Ashley Young can provide ten goals and ten assists every season. "Double 10" data.

Not to mention, Ashley Young can provide hidden attributes such as "explosion in the contract year", "explosion in the transfer window" and "tumbling in the penalty area for 3 and a half weeks".

This is a side attack weapon.Although Ashley Young is currently playing as a left winger and shadow forward at Villa, Duncan decided to transform him into a left back.

He has this talent.

Of course, there is another point, Ashley Young's formation fit, Duncan found that it is 80, exceeding the minimum value of 70, and Ashley Young is still a registered player.

Well, it seems like two o'clock.

Capable, meet the requirements, and can still be bought.

That's why Duncan decided to buy him.

Of course, the personal relationship between Duncan and Martin O'Neill is also one of the factors affecting this transfer.

In fact, O'Neill hesitated at the beginning, after all, Ashley Young is very important to Villa's offensive end, but Duncan finally convinced him.

How to persuade?
Use money.

For 1500 million pounds, Duncan bought the 23-year-old England flying wing.

And Ashley Young also has a positive attitude towards joining Manchester City. Manchester City was the Premier League champion last season, and this season also has the Champions League to play, which is also very attractive.

Although Villa performed very well in the past two seasons, they only played in the Europa League and wanted to compete for the Champions League, which was almost meaningless.Manchester City have performed well this season, and Ashley Young naturally wants to be an important cornerstone of the rising Manchester City dynasty.

The transfer negotiations with Ashley Young himself went very smoothly.

In just three days, all the transfer negotiations have been completed, and they are waiting for the winter transfer window to open and the transfer will be officially made.
