On July 24, Manchester City played their second warm-up match before the season, against the local Kansas Athletic.∷

Since many main players are temporarily on vacation or have just returned to the team due to the World Cup, Pellegrini, like the first warm-up match in this game, still sent a lineup of old and young people, and many young people got the opportunity to play. However, even facing such Manchester City, Kansas Athletics still has no strength to fight back. The final score of the game was four-to-one, and Manchester City won two consecutive victories in the warm-up match.

At the post-match press conference, Pellegrini said that if nothing unexpected happens, Manchester City's transfer window has been closed this summer.

As of this time, Manchester City made three and four in the transfer market, Sania replaced Richards' right-back position, Mousakio replaced Nastasic's position. As for Sanchez, it can be understood as an exchange with Suarez. From the lineup, it is basically maintained intact. As for whether the strength is enhanced or weakened, it takes time to test.

Logically speaking, the head coach's words can basically be regarded as the official language, that is, Manchester City's transfer operations this summer have ended here. Considering Manchester City's transfer operations in recent seasons and Lin Sen's return, this is actually completely possible. However, although Pellegrini's words were understated, there were still reporters with "ear tips" still hearing the implicit meaning.

If nothing unexpected happens.

Of course, this could not be Pellegrini's slip of tongue or unintentional act.

Bell, Suarez and David Luis.

The three absolute main players of Manchester City are in the transfer vortex this summer. Suarez has now become a Barcelona player, and David Luis is in negotiations for renewal, but Bale's situation is strange.

In terms of the sequence of scandals, Bale should be the first player to be sure of the most likely player to leave the team, but the fact is that Bale's transfer has only been on media scandals. For Manchester City, Real Madrid's only move in this transfer was the phone call between Florentino and Mubarak a month ago.

That's right, summer is still long, and there is still more than a month before the transfer window is closed. For Real Madrid, time is enough. However, perhaps Real Madrid seems to have forgotten one thing, that is, this transfer is not as simple as letting go for Manchester City.

No head coach wants his players to leave the team at the last moment, and no head coach is willing to see new players on the last day. The reason is no longer needed to be detailed.

Just when Lin Sen almost thought that Real Madrid's plan to introduce Bale was delayed, a news broke out by the Spanish newspaper "Marca" as recognized as Real Madrid's mouthpiece. The title of the news was concise.

Real Madrid's next goal: Bale.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The season is the head coach's season, and the summer is the manager's summer.

Less than two months after returning to Manchester City, Lin Sen did not feel too tired. The only feeling was that he was busy. When you handle one thing, there would always be the kind of busyness that would appear.

First it was Suarez, then David Luis, and now it was Bale again.

However, there is one thing that Lin Sen has been adhering to.

That's what he said at the press conference on the first day of his return: He was not back to replace Pellegrini.

Because of this, although Lin Sen is nominally leading the summer signings in the new season, in fact, according to Pellegrini's ideas, what Lin Sen did is just "adjustment", such as changing Mangala to Mousakio. As for Suarez's transfer, it is basically a "passive response".

However, Lin Sen can't grasp whether Lin Sen's "adjustments" as the head coach Pellegrini "appreciated" this point.

What made Lin Sen a little regretful is that he probably wouldn't have a high chance of "receiving" the other party, because judging from the current remarks by Pellegrini, the "engineer" at least did not intend to communicate his own problems with Lin Sen openly, but instead "hint" more through the media.

Lin Sen didn't know whether Pellegrini's "communication method" was suitable, but this obviously showed one thing, that is, the other party and himself were not as harmonious as he imagined and hoped. Of course, at this point, Lin Sen couldn't blame Pellegrini for being difficult to get along with, because if Lin Sen was in his shoes, if he was the head coach, he would not think his reaction would be much better than Pellegrini.

Linson thought about talking to Pellegrini again, but finally decided to give up.

Because the problem between him and Pellegrini is not the problem with the relationship between the two, but the decision of the two different roles.

So, unless Lin Sen resigns from this position, if you want to solve this problem, there is only one thing.

That's time.

Of course, the final solution of time may not necessarily be everyone's happiness.

As for now, before Lin Sen completes his task this summer, he only has the last test question, a test question that Real Madrid just gave, Bale.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bale, who was originally on vacation in the United States, did not return to Europe, but met directly with Manchester City in the United States.

In the last warm-up match, he made his debut as the starter and was replaced by Pellegrini in the first half. His performance can only be described as being lukewarm, neither good nor bad. Of course, in the eyes of the media, especially the Spanish media, Bale's performance became absent-minded and in Cao's camp.

After the game, a reporter chased Bale and asked similar questions, but Bale's reaction was not spoken.

Don’t say a word, it means you are in a bad mood.

Bale is indeed in a bad mood. If it weren't for his agent Barnett's constant contact with him, Bale would have every reason to think that Real Madrid lacks sincerity.

First it was Cross, then it was J Rowe.

Real Madrid can give a lot of reasons, the most common one is the World Cup, but this cannot change one thing, that is, in Real Madrid's signing sequence, he is not in the top position. Thinking of himself, because of this, it can be said that he had a showdown with his respected coach Lin Sen early, Bale's mood was even worse.

So, when Real Madrid finally turned its attention to him, the excitement when he knew that Real Madrid was interested in introducing him had long disappeared. Bale now even regretted that he had not received Lin Sen's call a month ago. However, things have come to this point. In Barnett's words, he has no way out to retreat.

In fact, it was not Bell who was the most popular, but Barnett.

In the past month, he didn't know how many times he "urged" Real Madrid should speed up his actions. However, Real Madrid was not too slow at all, which made Barnett feel helpless. He could only blame himself for his greed and signed a secret agreement with Real Madrid.

Yes, it's a secret agreement.

According to this secret agreement, if Barnett regrets it, then Barnett will not only not be able to get a considerable commission in this transaction, but also have to pay a considerable penalty for liquidated damages. But for Barnett, what's worse is that Bell doesn't know about this.

Bale wants to go to Real Madrid, and Real Madrid wants Bale. This is what Barnett believes, and it is also the reason why he signed the secret agreement. Because he thinks it is just a "nothing", but if you have money, why not do it? And now, he has to suffer the bitter fruit he takes for granted.

Was he fooled by Real Madrid? Maybe it's, but all of this is just your love and my wish.

Of course, Lin Sen couldn't know that there would be such a "small" secret in Bale's transfer.

In his opinion, with the improvement of relevant football rules, although there is still no shortage of those messy unspoken rules and unwritten agreements in transfer transactions, it should be said that it is still fair and reasonable overall. Secret agreements have not been seen in past transfers. The most famous Motian, who shocked the world football world, betrayed Barcelona and fought for Real Madrid.

Figo, who was at the peak of his life in Barcelona at that time, made an amazing decision to transfer to Real Madrid. No matter how he looked at it, this transfer was "unreasonable" for players and Barcelona, ​​except for Real Madrid, but eventually became a fact. Although Figo later recalled the transfer and said he did not regret it, in fact, the most reasonable explanation for this transfer so far is the secret agreement.

Because at that time, there were two backgrounds before this transfer: one was that Figo and Barcelona were preparing to negotiate a new contract, while Barcelona chairman Nunes did not intend to meet Figo's annual salary requirements. The other was the Real Madrid election, and the protagonist was Lao Sans, who was not unfamiliar with Florentino and Linson.

With these two backgrounds, coupled with Figo's situation at that time, the actual inside story of what happened later is actually not important. What is important is that no matter what happens, it is not without basis.

The so-called secret agreement, to put it bluntly, is an agreement that cannot be shamed. Why cannot be shamed? Because seeing the light dies.

Just like Bell's agreement now.

If this agreement is made public, Bale will almost face the same choice as Figo back then, and there are only three options: one is to stay in Manchester City and pay the penalty. The other is to stay in Manchester City and let Barnett die. The third is to go to Real Madrid.

There are three options on the surface, but in fact, there is only one option.

It has to be said that Real Madrid is a big banner, a very, very big banner. This big banner is enough to make everyone think that although it is not necessarily reasonable for any player to transfer to the Bernabeu, it must be reasonable.

Even Lin Sen thinks so even if he is a black man.

So, in his opinion, the reason why this transfer has been delayed to this point can only be attributed to Real Madrid's arrogance, and then, he intends to give Real Madrid the same arrogance.
