Chapter Thirteen Picturesque
Mawood didn't know Azpilicueta, which surprised Linson not a little, but very surprised. ()
Azpilicueta, who is less than 20 years old, is still playing for Osasuna, who is currently in La Liga. Linsen had actually made his idea before signing Alba last season, but because of the transfer budget, he had to give up. Compared with Alba, Azpilicueta became famous earlier, and he was about the same age as Alba, but in the past two seasons, he has been Osasuna's main right-back. If Alba was not Linsen, he would still inevitably be loaned to the second-tier team by Valencia last season to continue leveling.
Coincidentally, although the starting point is different, the two of them have realized their way to a wealthy family in the same year. In memory, Alba gradually became the main force after being recalled by Valencia, and then won the favor of Barcelona and became the main left-back of the La Liga giants. Although Azpilicueta played for Marseille in the Ligue 1 halfway, he also entered the Premier League giant Chelsea in the same year.
Logically speaking, Linsen seems to have chosen Alba more because Alba is not only his old subordinate, but he is more familiar with the left side than Azpilicueta. However, Linsen chose Azpilicueta in the end. Naturally, there was an agreement with Livermore. However, the bigger reason was that compared to Alba, who only played in La Liga, Azpilicueta showed his adaptability, especially the adaptability to the Premier League.
Adaptability, unlike when he was forced to make a transfer budget in Malaga, has become one of the most important criteria for Linsen to choose his goals now.
"You must have never played FM, Brian." Linson did not answer Mawood's words immediately, but joked. "Azpilicueta is not a strange face in it."
"fm? Are you talking about the football manager game from a private company?" Ma Wood was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I never play computer games."
Although not playing, Mawood obviously knows this famous game because the private company is a British company.
"If you have time, you might as well play it. Although it is just a game, the player database inside is real and very reference-oriented."
"Is that true?" Ma Wood said without objection, obviously not taking Lin Sen's suggestion too seriously.
Lin Sen shook his head in his heart. There has always been a gap between professionalism and amateurism. Some people mind. Some people don’t mind, but everyone has their own ideas and cannot be forced. However, since Mawood doesn’t understand the charm, Lin Sen had to explain himself: “Azpilicueta is Osasuna’s main full-back in the past two seasons. Well, it is also the substitute I found for Bridge.”
At this time, Lin Sen said he was a substitute, but in fact he was thinking about a substitute.
Regarding Bridge's question, Linson actually lies to Ma Wood before. Because the question mark on Bridge's name that Ma Wood asked before was not really Linson's mistake, but Linson was considering Bridge's position.
Since transferring from Chelsea to Manchester City in the winter last season, the England international has occupied the main left gate of Manchester City. Almost everyone, including Ma Wood, believes that Bridge, who was in the time of the year, could become the support of Manchester City's left side in the next few years, but Lin Sen doesn't think so. It's not because of Bridge's well-known injury. But because Lin Sen knows that for Bridge, there is something that is a shameful and humiliating for men, that is, the sensational "friendly wife's goal". Although this incident has not been disclosed yet, it does not mean that it has not happened yet. Because the other protagonist of this incident is Bridge's former teammate, Chelsea captain Terry.
Injuries are easy to treat, but heart diseases are hard to cure. Linsen is not afraid of Bridge's injuries, but he is really powerless to do anything about this. Maybe only Alice can help, but he really can't hold too much hope. Linsen deeply sympathizes with Bridge, but as a head coach, he must consider finding a more reliable candidate in the left-back position, and this person is Azpilicueta.
What made Lin Sen a little tooth pain was that after introducing Azpilicueta, Mawood nodded and fell silent again. However, this time, Lin Sen did not plan to continue waiting.
"Open and honest, Brian. You have seen my transfer plan, and it's basically it. Of course, the final determination will be approved by Carl. But before that, I hope our opinions can be agreed."
Lin Sen took the lead in opening the skylight, naturally hoping that Ma Wood would speak up with him.
With the eyes of a "experienced person", Lin Sen painted a lineup for Manchester City is beautiful and can be described as picturesque.
If everything goes in the direction Linson wants, Manchester City's first team will have twenty-five players in the new season, which is exactly the ideal number of players for a team.
Goalkeeper positions, Jivin, Hart, and Nelson, one is the current Irish goalkeeper and the other is the future England goalkeeper. Nelson is the third goalkeeper. This is the best configuration for any team.
On the back line, left-backs Bridge and Azpilicueta, one is the current England international and the other is the future Spanish international. Right-backs Zabaleta and Richards, who are nearly 24 years old, have participated in a World Cup as the main player of Argentina, and Richards, who is in excellent form, will be a regular visitor to the England national team.
Four central defenders Kompany, Dunn, David Louis, Cahill. Kompany is already the absolute main player of the Belgian national team at the age of 18. Dunn, who has played for Manchester City for nine seasons, is the captain of Manchester City, David Louis, the future captain of Brazil, and Cahill, the future international of England.
In the midfield midfielder position, De Jong, Vidal, and Xavi Martinez, the three-man plays a duo. De Jong is the current Dutch international, Vidal is the Chilean international. Xavi Martinez? His value is 40 million three years later.
In frontcourt position, Di Maria on the left has proved his potential in the Beijing Olympics last year. David Silva is already one of Spain's best midfielders, while Robben on the right doesn't need to prove anything. Behind these three are Robinho, Petrov, Ireland, Elano and Wright Jr.
On the front line are Suarez, Adriano and Bellamy.
...
This may not be the best lineup in the Premier League right now, but it is definitely the best lineup that Manchester City can get at the moment: there is a reassuring defense line, a midfield barrier that is both offensive and defensive, and a group of daunting attackers.
Of course, no matter how beautiful the picture is, someone should know how to appreciate it. Because if you meet someone who is self-righteous, Phoenix Ao's intention can also be changed to a chicken pecking rice. Linsen is not sure that Ma Wood is such a person. After two contacts, he does not think Ma Wood is such a person. However, at this point, it is useless to think that it is useless. Linsen needs to be sure, because Ma Wood also holds a paintbrush in his hand, and he has the right to add or cut something.
Regarding Lin Sen's words, Ma Wood nodded, and he had no reason to refuse. His original positioning between Lin Sen was to cooperate, not confrontation. Even if it was confrontation, it was after cooperation. There were many things in football that the head coach and the manager had a falling out, but there was also no shortage of examples of harmonious coexistence between the head coach and the manager. However, compared with the latter, the former was obviously more popular among the media that feared the world was not in chaos, so it created the illusion that the former was more than the latter. But in fact, existence is reasonable. The reason why the coach and manager model existed is naturally reasonable. If the head coach and the manager wrestled as soon as they met, then obviously this model would not have the need to exist.
Two hours later, Linson and Mawood left Carrington training base together.
At this time, no one expected that in the upcoming two months, a transfer storm called Manchester City had just been declared to be formed.
----------------
Developing a transfer plan and a training plan are two of the most important things for the head coach before the start of the season. Both of these things need to be done before the team returns.
For head coaches who do not have transfer rights, the former only needs to tell the transfer manager the requirements for signing or simply give a transfer list, and then they can go on vacation. Of course, when the season really starts, only God knows what cards they have in their hands. For head coaches who have transfer rights, their vacation is destined to be a little harder, but in comparison, their season is naturally a little better.
The determination of the transfer plan allowed Lin Sen to complete the most important thing this summer. Next, he just needs to wait for everything to proceed in an orderly manner.
On June 27, Dina and Ariel arrived in Manchester together. The arrival of the two also meant that Lin Sen's small team was all here.
On June 28, Lin Sen officially met with Manchester City's coaching staff with his small team. Then, without surprise, when a group of old men who were the youngest who could make Elliot calmly call Uncle and saw Elliot and others, they had all kinds of wonderful expressions. However, Lin Sen was not here to appreciate the change of face, because today, in addition to meeting with Manchester City's coaching staff, he also needed to determine a candidate.
Assistant coach.
After the meeting, Linson talked to Brian Kid alone. From Atletico Madrid to Malaga and then to Manchester City, Linson also experienced two assistant coaches. Juan was a pretty good person at Atletico Madrid, who was a traditional assistant coach who did whatever you say he did. Tapia made Linson understand how much burden a capable head coach could share for the head coach. Therefore, even though he knew that Kid was the super assistant coach who assisted Ferguson for twelve years, Linson planned to see it as a reality, not because he doubted the other party's ability, but because he needed to determine the other party's personality.
Fortunately, Kidd did not disappoint Lin Sen. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
