Chapter 348 New Teammates
After the draw ceremony is over, the team will enter a two-week offseason, and the players will be disbanded on the day they return to Manchester. They will go to various places to report to their national team.

Even Sturridge was called up to the England national team.Although it is not possible to play, the status of the international football team is always determined.

In the next half month, Manchester City's training ground will be empty.

And almost all the key work is carried out around the coaching staff of the players, so naturally there is no specific work.

But on August 8, Duncan was not idle. He came to the office early and waited for someone.

At 10 o'clock, Andy Cole knocked on the office door.

Coming in with Andy Cole was a young man of short stature with a slightly receding hairline on top of his head.But the most noticeable thing is his pair of slightly deep and melancholy eyes.

A person with such eyes will either be very beautiful or very lonely.

Wesley Sneijder.

"Wesley, I think, I don't need to introduce you," Andy Cole smiled, guiding Wesley to the table.

"Mr. Duncan, it's the first time we meet, please take care of me." Sneijder wore a well-fitting suit, smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Much handsomer than I imagined, how are you ready for the game?" Duncan reached out, shook hands with Sneijder, patted his shoulder, and asked with a smile.

"I can play at any time. I have not given up training during this period of time." Sneijder smiled a little shyly.

Duncan glanced sideways at Andy Cole.

"The specific physical examination report will not come out until tomorrow. But Paganini said that his body is completely healthy, and his physical reserves are sufficient. It is more than enough for the 90 minutes of the game." Andy Cole said.

"Yes, you are a very professional player." Duncan looked Sneijder up and down: "However, the pace of the Premier League is faster than that of La Liga, and the physical confrontation is much more intense. Therefore, in terms of diet and training, you must pay more attention. Focus on increasing muscle strength."

Ned nodded.

He is a player with a quiet temper. When Duncan talks, he just listens.And he could see that Duncan was doing it for his own good.

The two chatted for a while, Duncan stood up and said with a smile.

"I've been looking forward to your arrival. I feel relieved to see you today. I believe that with you here, the strength of our team will be improved to a higher level!"

"Let's go, don't make the reporters outside wait too long, let's go to the press conference."

Duncan took Sneijder to the press conference hall.

In fact, the process of introducing Sneijder was somewhat tortuous.

Florentino wanted to drive Sneijder away, using all means: confiscating his No. 10 jersey, emptying his wardrobe, locking his storage box...

Lafayette, who has changed dynasties, does not want to leave a little trace of the previous dynasties.

Even though Sneijder has repeatedly stated that he does not want to leave Real Madrid.

It's a pity that the falling flowers are intentional and the flowing water is ruthless. Although Pellegrini tried his best to keep Sneijder, Florentino's determination is not weak.

He even threatened Sneijder not to register him as a player.

In the end, the disheartened Sneijder finally decided to transfer before the transfer window was about to close.

Among the next home, the most sincere ones are Manchester City and Inter Milan.

Both bids were 1400 million euros, and Real Madrid agreed to the two clubs to sign with Sneijder.

Inter Milan won the Serie A championship under the leadership of Mourinho last season. The team plans to make new moves in the Champions League this season. Naturally, they are eager for Sneijder.

As for Manchester City, last season they won six championships, including the Champions League.This season, it is still the most powerful competitor in the Champions League.

From the perspective of winning the highest honor, the possibility of Manchester City winning the championship is obviously greater than that of Inter Milan.

From the perspective of personal treatment, the annual salary given by Inter Milan is 400 million euros, and that of Manchester City is 600 million euros. The gap is obvious.

Moreover, the attention of the increasingly depressed Serie A has gradually decreased. On the other hand, in the Premier League, three teams have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for many years. Both the exposure and the level of excitement far exceed Serie A.

In this way, things are much simpler.

After simply communicating with his agent, Sneijder made a decision.

Join Manchester City.

The procedures for the two clubs have already been fully prepared. As soon as Sneijder made a decision, the transfer procedures were completed through the fax machine.

All that remains is for Sneijder to pass Manchester City's medical examination, and then hold a press conference to officially announce his joining.

The press conference was very successful. Sneijder's humble attitude and low-key tone made everyone have a good impression of him.Although England's newspapers like to sow discord, they are more lenient towards Sneijder.

At least in terms of his skills and level, everyone recognizes it.

On the contrary, the media expressed contempt for Real Madrid's selling at a discount: "They will pay for it!"

And at the moment before the end of this summer window, apart from Sneijder joining Manchester City, there were also several eye-catching transfer news.

Adebayor moved from Arsenal to Manchester United for £2400 million, with a weekly salary of £10.

And Adebayor, who transferred to Manchester United, was immediately angered by Arsenal fans, who accused him of being a "Judas" who loves money and abandons friends.He reprimanded him for transferring to his sworn enemy for a weekly salary.

And Adebayor is also a violent temper, so he went back directly.

The two sides fought a war of words across time and space, which made the media very excited, and there were new reports to do every day.

Another transfer is Carlos Tevez's transfer to Inter Milan for 2000 million pounds.

This transfer is actually a kind of helplessness when plan B meets plan B.

The company behind Tevez first raised the offer to Manchester United, and then went to tease Manchester City. As a result, Ferguson finally rejected them and chose Adebayor. Manchester City directly issued a statement of disinterest.

And Tevez didn't want to go back to the small pond of West Ham, so he got stuck in the middle and couldn't get up or down.

Inter Milan's bid to buy Sneijder was unsuccessful, and Mourinho wanted a center forward again. After searching around, time was running out, so he had to choose Tevez in the end.

For Mourinho, although he did not attract the person he wanted most, the arrival of Tevez was still barely enough.

After Sneijder joined Manchester City, he flew to the national team to report.

Next year is the year of the World Cup, and everyone is preparing nervously.The teams that have already qualified in the qualifiers are adjusting the lineup to find the best combination and the best state; the teams that have not yet qualified, every game they encounter now is a battle of life and death, or they may score a goal. be able to advance to next year's World Cup.

More than ten days later, the players returned to Manchester from various places. Although everyone was tired after the international competition, Duncan was happy that at least no one was injured.

Although he was not injured, Duncan was still worried. He specially asked Paganini to check the players to ensure their physical health.

Especially those with excessive body overdraft and serious injury tendency, let Paganini make a detailed report.
