Chapter 287 Need Big Fish

After deciding to buy Guaita, Guardiola handed over the details of the negotiations to the club's football director, and he began to think about other positions in the team.

In terms of defense, the left backs are currently Alaba, Mendy and Zinchenko who has actually returned to midfield more this season but can also play full back.

The central defenders are Laporte, Stones and Ruben Dias, as well as Eric Garcia, who was once produced by La Masia.At present, there are actually only these four people, which is a bit small to say, but Alaba can also play a cameo when the central defender is injured, and there are still 2 people in the left back team, so Guardiola is not going to move this position for the time being.

Next is the right back, Walker and Danilo, but Danilo didn't have much chance to play, so he moved to Juventus during the winter window in the middle of last season. Juventus originally wanted to balance the accounts, so It is recommended that Danilo and Cancelo swap.

It’s just that Cancelo himself didn’t agree at the time. He thought he could go left or right, but when he went to Manchester City, Alaba was on the left and Walker was on the right. He didn’t have much chance, so he didn’t want to go. Cerro didn't agree with the matter and it didn't happen, so Juventus still spent money to buy Danilo.

Although Guardiola doesn't know why Juventus insists on buying Danilo.

But now, after half a season, Walker actually has no substitute, but fortunately, it is the impact of the epidemic. Although the subsequent schedule is intensive, Walker survived.

But in the next new season, the schedule will be extremely compressed, and the pressure will be very high with the multi-line Premier League teams, so the right back is bound to be a position that needs to be supplemented.

But in fact, Guardiola is still interested in Cancelo, and after half a season, Cancelo's thoughts have changed.

Juventus' inability to break through in the Champions League gave him the idea of ​​changing teams.

And this time Guardiola's call came.

In one sentence, Cancelo changed his mind.

"I will consider changing you to a new position!"

Cancelo himself is a full-back who tends to attack. Although he is also very satisfied with the position of full-back, he can't help but think of Kimmich when he changes positions.

So he agreed.

And such a good full-back, Juventus only needs 3200 million. Although it is a transfer market under special circumstances, there are not many rich clubs on the market, but Cancelo is still a very characteristic full-back, so cheap Just transferred and left, Juventus fans are still quite dissatisfied.

Guardiola's idea is to allow Cancelo to play the midfielder.

He is still not very satisfied with Rodri. In terms of satisfaction, it is only 7 points, which is really good, but there is still a lack of surprises, and Fernandinho is also entering the last year of his career, so save some money , As for Rodri, he also had a lot of injuries, and he was sidelined for more than a month last season.

Therefore, it is very important to introduce Cancelo who can be left and right and will soon be another new choice as a defensive midfielder.

After solving the problem of adding a defensive midfielder to the back, the next step is the staffing in the midfield.

There are two midfielders, one on the left and one on the right. De Bruyne has firmly occupied the main position of the right midfielder. No one can shake this position. When De Bruyne is injured or rests, this position is given to Bernardo Silva, who can play as a winger, will play. In fact, Bernardo's strength can definitely start in Manchester City, but the problem is that his position is De Bruyne's position, and his strength is indeed inferior to that of Manchester City. It's worse than De Bruyne.

So last season he mainly played as a winger more.

Foden, who played as a right winger before, has played more in the left midfield position this season. Foden's dominant foot is the left foot. When playing a right winger, he can cut in more shots. He has scored good results many times, but he is still a midfielder himself, and his obsession with scoring is not that deep. It can even be said that his sense of smell in front of goal is not that strong, so as a left-footed player, he can't play on the right. His biggest advantage came out. If Foden was to play on the side, it would definitely be better on the left, but the left is Wang Yi's territory, who can take it away?

In addition, Wang Yi is very capable and durable, so full attendance is normal.

Coupled with the departure of David Silva before, Guardiola put Foden in the left midfield position. In this position, Foden can make full use of his ability in the winger position, plus some passing and organization , played quite well.

So Guardiola also wants to fix Foden here, and these two midfield substitutes, Rodri can also play as a central midfielder, and Zinchenko, who does not go to the left back, can also play as a central midfielder, plus Bernardo can also play, so there are actually enough manpower.

As for the frontcourt players, Wang Yi's main force on the left is very stable. As for Wang Yi who needs to rest or is injured, either Foden or Sterling.

However, Sterling's decline in the recent season has been a bit serious, and he is not able to guarantee the absolute main force at the right winger position.

Often he and Bernardo take turns, just to see who is in better condition.

Coupled with the introduction of Spanish talented winger Ferran Torres early, the competition for the right winger position is still very high.

As for the absolute main force of center Kane, Jesus played more off the bench.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with it.

Guardiola thought about it, and there really is nothing to sign in other positions.

As for Harland, who has recently gained fame again.

Although Guardiola is optimistic about his potential, his immediate combat power is indeed not as good as Kane's at present, not to mention that others are unwilling to buy him. He is the main player in Dortmund.

So Guardiola has no idea about this supernova.

Or just gather some little monsters, this is an idea.

But in this market now, the price of Xiao Yao has already approached the price of mature stars, and some are even more expensive. The price approaching Xiao Yao is the potential price.

There are no big fish in the market.

Manchester City does not need it for the time being.

And in such a calm transfer market, Manchester City ushered in the first game of the new season, the Community Shield.

Manchester City vs Liverpool again.

Just like after the restart of last season, there are no spectators. To be honest, for Wang Yi, or for all professional players, the impact of no spectators on the scene is too great.

Wang Yi sometimes played for weak teams in the league, last season.

They will not be able to cheer up later.

In professional football, on-site fans are indispensable, but Wang Yi also understands that it is for epidemic prevention after all.

So Wang Yi didn't complain about anything.

And the first focus game of this new season played drowsily.

Wang Yixin thought that if there were spectators, this game would never be like this. The boos of the fans can wake up the teammates on both sides.

The game went smoothly until 89 minutes into the second half when Ferran Torres, who came off the bench, received an assist from Wang Yi and scored the only goal of the game.

In the end, with this goal, Manchester City won their first championship trophy in the 2020-21 season.
