Chapter 22 Three NOs
4231 is a formation that is known as the most adjustable...
The adjustable here does not mean that it is just a change of formation, but that it can adjust each position without destroying the tactical system. In La Liga, this formation that was gradually becoming mainstream is now even worse, and Lin Sen's boost was added to it. Last season, almost the entire La Liga suffered losses from Guardiola, and only Lin Sen's Malaga used this formation to gain some advantage. Of course, this formation was not invented by Lin Sen, but it is undeniable that this formation does have a certain effect on teams with ball-controlled play.
Lin Sen never hides his preference for this formation, so when he comes to Manchester City, he sets this formation as the main formation of Manchester City in the new season, and then formulates a signing plan and training plan through this formation. However, it is obvious that Manchester City and Malaga, Lin Sen's positioning for each position cannot be the same, because Malaga's tone is defense, while Manchester City's tone is attack.
However, in recent days, in addition to physical training, Lin Sen has trained the most, but defense. This is not that Lin Sen is poor and has a slut and insists on using airplanes and cannons to do the job of Xiaomi rifles, but that Manchester City is now in a much more uniform defense than offensive staff. With Vidal getting a labor certificate to join the team, Manchester City's main defensive system personnel have basically been in place in the new season.
De Jong and Vidal are in the midfield, and Bridge, Dunn, Kompani and Sabaleta are lined up in the back line. This will be the starting lineup of the midfield and backcourt that Manchester City fans will often see in the beginning of the new season. The settings of the two full-backs will be one of the main differences between Manchester City and Malaga’s tactical changes.
In Malaga, Linsen's requirement for the two full-backs is to be the first in defense and not leave the defensive position easily. For this requirement, Malaga did better on the right than on the left last season. Malaga's captain Games guarded the right side almost became the safest link, while the left side was less effective. Because neither Alba nor Rosato were the kind of full-back who could keep his composure. Linsen took two remedies for this, one was Gaby's fill-up, which would sacrifice the defense in the middle to a certain extent. The other was to simply let the two full-backs play together. In this way, no matter what, there would be a full-back guard behind, so that the full-back would not have his butt bare back after assisting.
At Manchester City, defense will still be the main task of the two full-backs. But offense is no longer just for choice. The two full-backs' assists will become a conventional offensive method for Manchester City. The court is so large, which will certainly increase the requirements for full-backs. However, Lin Sen is not worried that the full-backs cannot do it at all. Responsibility is proportional to ability, and ability is proportional to salary.
Can't do it? It's very simple. If you can do it, you'll do it. This is a wealthy family.
Today, Lin Sen also organized an in-team training match. It was an informal warm-up match. Everything was based on the normal game standards. The only difference between the two sides was that one team symbolizing the main team was one less than the other team. Such an unfair training match had a fair punishment method: the loser must treat guests to dinner.
Lin Sen's intention was to increase the defensive pressure on the main side, but the final result almost made him unable to get out of the market.
The substitute finally won the game 3-1. But the one who scored three goals was a player who Lin Sen issued the order to expel the away party early: Ruo.
After the negotiations between Manchester City and Everton about Lescott broke down in an unpleasant way, the relationship between the two clubs also entered a low period. This undoubtedly gave Jue a heavy blow to Everton, who was determined to go to Everton. Manchester City had clearly refused to loan Jue to Everton again, and Everton, who was determined to take advantage of him, was unwilling to buy Jue. Therefore, the mood of Jue being stuck in the middle can be imagined.
Ruo, who accidentally scored a hat trick, had no expression after scoring the goal, and even had a simple celebration. Although it was just a training match, this behavior has clearly told everyone: I am very unhappy.
Lin Sen, who was the referee in person, felt sorry for the main force in his heart, and could only smile bitterly. Fortunately, at this time, Ma Wood saved him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After breaking out of the endless dispute with Moyes, Mawood's next goal is aimed at Spain. In addition to Robben and David Silva, who are in charge of Gary Cook, Manchester City also has another goal in Spain, that is Athletic Bilbao's midfielder Xavi Martinez.
Since Manchester City rejected the price of the price of the Xavi Martinez, Manchester City quickly made a further offer. The latest offer is 12 million pounds. For a young player who is less than 21 years old, this offer is sincere enough, but the offer is still not approved by Athletic Bilbao. Not only did it not agree, the other party did not even bargain, and the answer was still the cold no. At this time, Ma Wood finally felt something was strange.
The troubles of having more money and more money, especially when others know that you have money, whether it is Lescott's transfer or Vidal's transfer, they tell Mawood that sometimes the more money the more difficult it is, the harder it is to buy. But at least, the other party gives prices for these two transfers, rather than just like Bilbao, who is unwilling to even talk about it.
Just when Mawood was puzzled, Bilbao's chairman Marcusa gave him an answer. In an interview with "Maca", Marcusa publicly stated: Yes, Manchester City is interested in Xavi Martinez, but Xavi is our non-sale product, and we have no intention of selling it. Moreover, even if it is sold, we will never sell it to that person.
After hearing Marcusa's remarks, Mawood was stunned at first, but he didn't realize who the person Macusa said was, but immediately, he understood: There is no doubt that this person can only be Lin Sen.
Linsen was banned once when he was in Malaga, and the main charge was to provoke Bilbao fans. Mawood didn't know if Linsen had forgotten this unpleasant thing, but obviously Bilbao did not forget that backbone clubs often tend to hold grudges and would keep remembering them. Thinking of this, Mawood shook his head with a wry smile, and finally understood why Linsen's budget for this transfer would be as high as 17 million.
However, the reason why the plan is a plan is that if there is no force majeure, he has to do it.
Bilbao's opinion on Linsen was obviously not force majeure. Therefore, Mawood directly raised the offer to 16 million this time, which was approaching the minimum termination clause of 17 million that Harvey Martinez himself admitted existed.
It is worth mentioning that although Bilbao is still entangled with his grudges with Linsen, the fact that he did not play in that disputed game did not show a clear rejection of joining Manchester City. The young man repeatedly stated that he would respect the club's decision and would not contact Manchester City in private. Although this statement sounds like the pace of Bilbao, it actually left a back door, that is, not privately.
As we all know, La Liga players have a minimum termination fee clause in their contracts. Then, if Manchester City's offer reaches the minimum termination fee, then there will naturally be no private contact between the negotiations between Xavi Martinez and Manchester City.
However, that's it, until the end, Mawood still didn't want to activate the minimum termination fee clause, not because he wanted to save this million. But because in that case, the failure of the transaction would turn into a business without friendship. The transaction was still reasonable, but it was no longer in line. Unfortunately, Mawood still underestimated the backbone of the Basque people.
The answer is still no.
The third no.
Then, Mawood came to find Linson.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mawood once again proposed a replacement goal because he felt that there was no need to break up with Bilbao for a young player. And the replacement he proposed was Barry.
Linson scratched his head a little as to what Mawood thought, because he had to reject Mawood's proposal again.
He will definitely win the game, because this is a player who has the potential and ability to perfectly match his positioning of the midfielder. If he doesn't win this year, his termination fee will be 40 million next year. However, Lin Sen doesn't want to defend himself from introducing the game of Harvey Martinez because of tactical requirements. Since last season's game, let alone just dig one person, if there is a chance, Lin Sen will never mind taking the blame on Bilbao.
After Lin Sen tactfully expressed his persistence, Ma Wood could only sigh. After all, Lin Sen is the head coach, and the transfer plan was agreed to by himself. At this time, Lin Sen's persistence was nothing wrong, and this could only be done. Then, Ma Wood said another thing, about the other two goals in the plan: Di Maria and David Louis.
The Benfica club in Portugal has responded to Manchester City's price question: the two people packed 50 million euros, of which Di Maria is worth 30 million and David Luis is worth 20 million.
A typical European black shop lion opens its mouth.
Di Maria transferred to Benfica from Rosario Central Argentina in the summer of 2007. At that time, Benfica took out 6 million for him to acquire 80% ownership. Last year, Di Maria performed well in the Beijing Olympics, and Benfica paid 2 million for his other 20% ownership. That is to say, his net worth was 10 million last summer, but now he has only been one season, 30 million?
The price of David Luis is even more outrageous, because Benfica bought out the Brazilian defender who loaned the team two years ago, but the price of only 500,000 yuan. Compared with Di Maria, David Luis' performance last season was actually not outstanding. Because Benfica's left-back Ribero was injured, David Luis, who replaced Ribero's position, almost played for the left-back for a season. In this way, Benfica wants 20 million?
I don't know where Benfica got the confidence, Lin Sen doesn't think their manager Rui Costa's vision is really as outstanding as his football talent.
However, this is not a problem, because the price can be negotiated. Anyway, Ma Wood is now used to the opponent's price, so there is a problem with the transfer of these two players.
