For this year's winter transfer, Lin Sen can roughly have a peaceful New Year.

Winter transfers, commonly known as the "intermission time" of the season, have always been more particular about timely help than adding icing on the cake. If everything goes well in the first half of the season, not many teams are willing to make big moves in winter transfers. Whether it is in or out, this principle is as easy as if everything goes well in the first half of the football game, not many head coaches will make adjustments at the halftime break.

Goalkeeper Hart, Sabareta, Kompany, David Luis and Bynes lined up in line, with Yaya Toure partnering with Vidal, Robben, Aguero and Reus in the frontcourt, and Falcao suddenly in front.

This was originally the main lineup of Manchester City this season that the media predicted at the beginning of the season. However, with the progress of the season, several positions of this theoretical main lineup have changed. One is that Bynes on the defense line does not occupy the absolute main force. Espanyol Azripiqueta has become the first choice for Pellegrini in some major games. In this regard, the media has even rumored that Bynes is dissatisfied, of course, it is only limited to rumors.

Then there is the position of midfield Vidal who was completely replaced by Xavi Martinez, and the position of the right winger was mostly occupied by Sanchez.

There should be an objective reason for the changes in these two positions, that is, the trouble of injury. The difference is that Vidal has continuous minor injuries, while Robben has not healed a major injury. Therefore, even if Pellegrini is willing to rotate, he has to accept that it is often the only choice. In this position of the main player, it is not that easy for other players to leverage again unless they like rotation. What's more, it is still under good performance.

In addition to these major changes, Manchester City's lineup is basically stable, and Robben, the only serious injury in the team, also because of the existence of Sanchez and Navas, there is no need to make up for the winter. In addition, it must be said that Pellegrini has done a good job in the number of games. At least throughout the first half of the season, Lin Sen did not receive many "complaints" from player agents complaining that his players did not have enough playing time. Of course, not much means that there will be many, but in Lin Sen's opinion, it is basically not a big problem.

However, there is no big problem, but there is one small problem, the only one.

The problem comes from Negredo.

As a striker introduced by Pellegrini, Negredo's performance last season was actually not bad, but Falcao's performance was even better. In addition to the trouble of injury, he had to be on the bench with similar types. This summer, Negredo's agent once communicated with Pellegrini about the player's position at Manchester City and received a positive answer. Therefore, Negredo stayed at Manchester City.

However, an answer cannot really change Negrado's situation at Manchester City. After all, if you want to win a position in the team, you have always rely on others rather than on yourself.

This season, due to Falcao's injury in the World Cup, Negredo once became the main striker in Pellegrini's hands in the early stages. However, Negredo failed to seize the opportunity to completely stand firm. He scored only three goals in the first ten rounds of the game. As Manchester City's main striker, this result was not enough. Sure enough, after Falcao's comeback, Negredo returned to the bench again.

This situation made Negrado extremely frustrated, and also made his agent Camano a little helpless. Because even if he wanted to negotiate terms with Manchester City, he had to be qualified to talk to others, but Negrado's performance made Camano really unable to blame Manchester City. Of course, even so, due to the players' current embarrassing situation, Camano could still make suggestions.

For example, transfer.

In Camano's opinion, Negredo does not lack market. Although this player from Real Madrid's youth training camp performed poorly at Manchester City, he has proved his ability in La Liga. Therefore, since he can't get a chance at Manchester City, there is no need for Negredo to continue wasting his time on Manchester City's bench.

Linson did not agree with Kamano's request, and he handed over the decision to Pellegrini, who introduced Negrado.

Then, Pellegrini nodded.

So, Negrado was pushed into the transfer market. Next, for Lin Sen, it was as simple as listening to the price and choosing the best.

As for Negredo's replacement, Lin Sen doesn't need to worry about it, because it doesn't.

This season, Pellegrini's main formation is 4231. In theory, only one main striker is needed. Although Negredo has left, Falcao, Aguero, Sanchez, Jovitic and even Navas have the ability to play for the striker. Therefore, Pellegrini is not worried about the lack of thickness in this position after Negredo leaves.

However, the transfer market is ready to remain calm, but Manchester City's luck is not good.

In the draw in the Champions League quarterfinals, Manchester City once again met an old acquaintance, Barcelona. This is undoubtedly a draw. It is not that Manchester City is afraid of the opponent. It is obvious that everyone is happy to meet Barcelona at this stage. Even for Barcelona, ​​it is not a good thing to meet Manchester City, the most powerful in the second in the group, as the first in the group.

The draw was not good, and Manchester City also encountered trouble in the league.

In the last game before the New Year, Manchester City's seven consecutive victories were ended. It was not a giant team that ended Manchester City, but Burnley, the bottom-ranked deputy squad leader. Immediately afterwards, in the first game of the New Year, Manchester City defeated Sunderland 3-2 at home, but then Manchester City encountered a draw again, and was tied by Everton 1-1 away...

Three games, one win and two draws.

Such a result is definitely not a good calculation for a team that competes for the championship, but it is comforting that Manchester City has once again approached the gap with Chelsea in the standings, because in the Christmas schedule, it is not the only one who fell. In the game with Tottenham, Chelsea and the opponent staged a goal battle, and Mourinho's team lost the game 3-5.

In addition, the FA Cup has successfully advanced to the next round, which is not all bad news for Manchester City fans.

There is also an inconspicuous team that advanced with Manchester City in the FA Cup, which is Tang Hua's Cambridge United.

The "luxury hope" of Cambridge United's senior executives was not realized at the end. In the third round of knockout matches, Cambridge United's opponent was Luton, who also came from the English League Two. Although his opponent ranked higher than Cambridge United in the standings, Cambridge United, which performed well in recent stages, finally eliminated his opponent with a score of 3-1 and successfully advanced to the top 32.
