Football: From becoming a god-level striker

Zhao Gang had already decided on his next stop.

Manchester City, or Arsenal.

The team's record and salary issues are actually secondary.

Coaching is the most important thing.

Guardiola's enthusiasm and seriousness for football, as well as his coaching philosophy and level, are all respected by Zhao Gang.

Wenger's patience and respect for young players is also what Zhao Gang yearns for.

Therefore, Zhao Gang is honored by the invitation of these two coaches.

Because of the two coaches, Zhao Gang chose Manchester City and Arsenal from all the teams.

In the end, Manchester City was chosen, of course, because of the potential of this club and the willingness of the boss behind the scenes to have a huge investment in football.

Arsenal have no ambitions at all.

If, if Manchester City did not have Guardiola, Zhao Gang would probably choose Arsenal.

Because of Falk, Zhao Gang believed that the head coach is the first selection criterion, followed by the team's condition.

And Zhao Gang's selection criteria were not wrong.

Guardiola is not only a Bole who cherishes talents, he also gives Zhao Gang great respect.

He originally prepared the same offer as Chelsea, 500 million pounds.

But seeing Zhao Gang's performance in the Europa League, seeing his breakthrough, passing, shooting, and seeing his influence on his teammates.

Guardiola knew that Zhao Gang was the player he needed and wanted most!

After thinking about it for a while, Guardiola directly proposed an offer of 7000 million pounds.

This confused Peilan at the time. He knew this brother too well. This guy was devoted to football, and would never do anything to enrich his own pocket by using the public for personal gain. He would never think of benefiting his brother.

Since he took the initiative to speak, it proves that Zhao Gang is worth the price in his heart!

Perrin thought he would spend a lot of talking and persuading his brother to raise the price to 5000 million pounds. He didn't even dare to say that Zhao Gang wanted to go to Manchester City and Arsenal. It can be done in less than 4000 million.

As expected of a professional, Pei Lan agreed without saying a word.

If someone else puts forward an offer of 7000 million yuan, Perrin will have to discuss the price again, and it will increase to 200 million yuan.

Don't add superfluous things to what your brother brought up.

7000 million, it's settled!

Just like Guardiola's appreciation and respect for Zhao Gang, the boss of Manchester City is full of trust in Guardiola, saying that 7000 million is 7000 million without any hesitation.

From the boss to the coach to the players, this atmosphere of mutual trust really made Perrin very gratified and admired.

He believes that Zhao Gang will be able to fully demonstrate his energy in this kind of team.

The 7000 million pounds will never be lost!

Norwich is happy, and Manchester City approves.

Perrin, Zhao Gang and Guardiola are all very satisfied with this deal.

Those who watched the excitement were angry and angry.

This is indeed ironic.

……

Of course, Zhao Gang would not pay attention to the words of those media and those watching the excitement.

Just like what he once said to Perrin, those strangers who don't care about him will not affect him at all.

If the Norwich fans yell that Manchester City has lost a lot in this deal, he will really be disappointed and even painful.

What Zhao Gang thinks now is what position he should be in Manchester City.

Before, he and Guardiola did not discuss this issue in detail.

forward?

It is possible, after all, Aguero is the only striker in Manchester City who can really make a move.

Therefore, Manchester City has a lot of talents in the frontcourt, but it also seems a little weak.

But if you play as a striker, you may have to switch to a double striker tactic that Aguero and even Guardiola don't like very much.

It's not that Guardiola doesn't know how to use forwards, he doesn't like to use forwards.

Especially the double striker, he has never used it at all.

Midfielder?

De Bruyne and David Silva in the midfield have outstanding skills. It is too difficult to directly grab their position.

And Fernandinho is a defensive midfielder, a rare player in Manchester City who can attack and defend well.

Guardiola will never take him down and let Zhao Gang, who is not very good at defense, go up.

Sterling?

This guy can indeed waste opportunities, but this guy's technical characteristics are extremely distinctive, his running position is first-rate, and he can easily tear through the opponent's defense line. Apart from Aguero, he is the only sharp knife he can take out. Except for his poor finishing ability, There are no shortcomings.

Moreover, Sterling's position and technical characteristics do not conflict with Zhao Gang.

After much deliberation, Zhao Gang discovered a big problem, he must either play as a striker, or compete with De Bruyne for the starting lineup!

Because De Bruyne's position, role, and even technical characteristics are almost exactly the same as Zhao Gang's later days in Norwich!

Very strong observation ability, able to understand the opponent's defensive weaknesses and changes in the defense line.

That top, deadly pass.

"Damn..." Zhao Gang scratched his head, De Bruyne's role really overlapped with his.

Moreover, De Bruyne's performance in Manchester City this year has won unanimous praise, and the fans and media even believe that he is the real offensive core of Manchester City.

Zhao Gang is new here, how can he compare with him?

However, De Bruyne also has some shortcomings.

For example, his ability to get rid of and attack difficulties.

Because passing is his most outstanding talent and technique, he relies on it even more, always observing his teammates and ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

This made him neglect to improve his ability to get rid of breakthroughs. Once he fell into the opponent's defensive trap and he didn't send a threatening pass immediately, his role would be greatly reduced.

And Zhao Gang's performance in the Europa League final made Guardiola see the ability of this young man.

Not only can he pass a threatening ball, but he also has the ability to fight alone in adversity!

If De Bruyne, a midfield genius, needs the cooperation of his teammates to score, then Zhao Gang, the midfield engine, is helping his teammates score.

Zhao Gang himself has the ability to break through!

This is beyond compare to De Bruyne.

It is also one of the reasons why Guardiola suddenly raised the transfer fee.

In addition, De Bruyne has a weakness that is masked by his strong passing.

That is, his passing requires the pressure of his teammates to run up and down, and his passing pursues a wealth and danger, and passing it is fatal. Being cut off is also quite dangerous for Manchester City.

Because the teammates have already rushed up, there is a big gap in the defense, and the opponent will hit a sharp counterattack.

And once De Bruyne's state on the court fluctuates, there will be a lot of mistakes in passing.

De Bruyne can make the team and teammates change from good to better, but he cannot change the team from mediocrity to excellence.

Headwind stealth is the norm.

And Guardiola has observed Zhao Gang, Zhao Gang's personality is extremely calm, the situation of the team is very good, he can take advantage of the victory to pursue, and directly press the opponent to death.

If the team falls behind, he can also stabilize his mentality and come back against the wind.

This is something that De Bruyne, and even this Manchester City team does not have.

Once a tough battle is fought against the wind, Manchester City will be a little confused.

And Zhao Gang, this young man can stand up!

So he is worth the price.

The mentality and temperament are even more fancy to Guardiola.

Guardiola has deduced that if Norwich City falls behind 1:3 in the Europa League final, if Zhao Gang is replaced by any player from Manchester City, there is no chance of a comeback, and there is no chance of a draw.

At that time, De Bruyne's eyes may have been straightened, and he didn't know what to do.

Guardiola even thought about something even more unrealistic. If Zhao Gang is given to Belgium, it is very likely that the infighting of the European Red Devils will end and Belgium will become the real European big devil.

……

Zhao Gang didn't know about Guardiola's thoughts, but he knew that since Guardiola was willing to pay him such a high transfer fee, he must have taken a fancy to his unique characteristics, which Manchester City players do not have for the time being.

Otherwise, why did Guardiola spend so much money for?

To buy a mascot?

Early in the morning, Perrin drove Zhao Gang to the Etihad Stadium.

Peilan has already rented a house for Zhao Gang in Manchester. This time the house is unusual, with a swimming pool, garden, and even a training ground in the gym.

Thirty or forty thousand pounds a month.

"Zhao, you don't need to buy a house. You should really buy a car and get a driver's license." Peilan's face was full of red. In this transfer window, he earned 1000 million pounds from Zhao Gang!

There are also two endorsement contracts, which are simply full.

Not only Claude, but Perrin is also feeling emotional, when will he be able to pick up another leak.

It's true that there is a pie in the sky!

Zhao Gang can drive, but he doesn't have an English driver's license. It's not difficult to get one, and he doesn't need to spend money to register for a class. It's not as cumbersome as it is in China.

"Well, I think so. I should buy a luxury car and go pick up girls." A luxury car in England is considered top-notch at £10,000+, and it takes seventy-eight million to buy it in Longguo.

"Huh?" Pei Lan was confused by Zhao Gang's words, because Zhao Gang didn't joke much, so Pei Lan thought what Zhao Gang said was true.

I was terrified by Perrin, but don't fail to learn!

When it comes to dating, you can't be like those South American players who are extremely talented and have poor self-control, ruining your future.

"Hahaha..." Zhao Gang burst into laughter suddenly, and Pei Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Zhao, after you went home, your personality has become much more lively, and you can joke around."

Zhao Gang nodded, probably because of the reason for going home, he solved the biggest knot in his heart.

Perrin went all the way to the training base next to the court.

Zhao Gang got out of the car and walked in.

Today is the first training camp for Manchester City, and it is also the first time that Zhao Gang officially met with all the players.

When Zhao Gang followed the staff to the training ground, almost everyone's eyes were attracted.

Because, this guy is now Manchester City's transfer bid king!

And it was transferred from the British Championship, only!

Still from a dragon country that has never had a star player!

Some players must be unconvinced, but because of Guardiola, on the surface, no one dared to say anything.

Once Zhao Gang's performance is not very good, lower than expected, lower than this value, there will definitely be many doubts.

"Hi Zhao!!"

The first one to speak was the team's main center, the leading shooter Aguero.

With his big teeth bared, he smiled sincerely.

Zhao Gang had a very good impression of him.

Not just because of his finishing ability, and not just because of his smile.

It is also because Zhao Gang saw Aguero's performance when Argentina won the Hercules Cup and Messi was crowned king in his previous life.

This guy kills all directions on the court, like a cold-faced killer, but in reality he is the leader of the atmosphere team.

Not only grabbed Messi's shorts, but also grabbed the fans' drums to play on the field.

He didn't play for 1 minute, but he went up when he won the prize!

There are jerseys, gold medals, and the Hercules Cup.

Those who didn't know thought he was the core of Argentina's main force, and even the World Cup Golden Globe winner!

This character makes Zhao Gang very close.

The reason why Aguero took the initiative to say hello is not because he has a good personality and is a funny comparison.

It's all because of Zhao Gang's performance in Norwich!

Without that strength, no matter how good Aguero's personality is, it is impossible for him to greet his new teammates casually in his position.

When Zhao Gang faced Arsenal, Manchester United and finally Sevilla, Aguero watched them all.

That kind of pass, the incredible arc, shocked him.

As a striker, he knows how precious and rare this kind of midfield pass is.

Aguero was thinking, if Shilo replaced him, he would have beaten Manchester United so hard that he couldn't lift his head, and Zhao Gang was used to brighten the jersey by himself?

Before Zhao Gang's transfer, Aguero was thinking, if Zhao Gang came, he would pass with De Bruyne in both midfields...

Then he has to be fed into a pig?

Isn't it easy to become the strongest scorer in Europe and break the Premier League scoring record?

But Manchester City has never meant to make a move.

Unexpectedly, never expected, hey, happiness came too suddenly!

It is estimated that next season, the European Golden Boot will be his own, and Messi will be jealous of him!
