Chapter 6 The Current Situation of Manchester City

ps: Thanks to the book friend "Bingdu* Missing" for the reward of ten thousand coins!!!

Suarez is undoubtedly a very outstanding genius.

He was born in Salto, Uruguay. Suarez's family has 7 brothers. His parents divorced since childhood, and his mother raised seven boys alone, and lived a very difficult life.

At the age of 7, Suarez moved with his mother to Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay. He began to exercise his football skills in the dusty streets and alleys.

At the age of 11, Suarez received an invitation to train at the Uruguay National Youth Team, but he had to refuse because he was short of money.

Three years later, at the age of 14, Suarez was spotted by Montevideo's Asian National Team and officially started his career here.

In the 2005-2006 season, Suarez made rapid progress in the Uruguay National Team. In the same year, the National Team won the Uruguay League championship. Suarez made a total of 29 appearances in the league and scored 10 goals.

At the beginning of this year, Suarez was only 18 years old and began his journey to take off.

The following year, Suarez accepted the invitation from the Netherlands' Groningen team and joined the team for 800,000 euros. In his first season in Europe, he scored 17 goals in 37 games. Suarez's outstanding performance quickly attracted the attention of other strong teams.

Soon Suarez transferred to the Eredivisie giants Ajax for a value of 7.5 million euros (at the time of about 10,000 yuan).

After Suarez joined Ajax, he didn't need to adapt for a long time and became the team's leading scorer.

In the first season, he scored 40 games and scored 20 goals.

In the second season, he played 31 times and scored 22 goals, and the team also ranked second in the league.

Last season, Suarez once again helped Ajax win the second place in the Dutch Eredivisie, becoming a sharpshooter with 35 goals in the league (scoring 49 goals in all competitions), and was elected as Dutch Footballer.

Now Suarez is leading Uruguay to the World Cup in South Africa.

At present, Suarez has scored one goal in three group matches and helped the team reach the World Cup round of 16 knockout stage.

Everyone knows that Suarez is a genius shooter, and it is not easy to win such a genius shooter.

After Wansheng decided to make the transfer department work immediately.

Although Atletico Madrid Club has enough transfer funds, it is not just spent. Wansheng doesn't want his team to become a sucker. Every transfer is meaningful, so that the club can operate healthily, rather than losing money every year like before.

In other words, the player's supplement to the team's strength and the business value of the player must exceed the player's transfer fee and salary for several years, so that it will be a successful transfer.

When coaching at Manchester City and Derby County, Wan Sheng only needs to consider the ability to introduce players, and now he has to consider these things.

Finally, through exchanges with the competition and business departments, as well as his understanding of Suarez, Wan Sheng also had an assessment in his heart.

30 million euros.

If the transfer fee does not exceed 30 million euros, you can consider buying Suarez. If it exceeds 30 million euros, you can change other targets.

30 million euros are a lot!

After all, Suarez is not C-Ronaldo. He is a Uruguayan player and does not have that great business potential. In addition, after he transfers to the team, he will definitely get a big contract. The annual salary investment of at least 5 million euros is also a very large expense.

In addition, Suarez also needs to occupy a non-EU player quota, which is also a must-be considered.

So Wansheng's maximum transfer price for Suarez is 30 million euros.

Next is the job of the transfer department.

After that, Wan Sheng began to consider the team's midfield.

In Wansheng's tactical planning, the midfield is always the most important. With an excellent midfield, the front and back courts can be truly connected smoothly. Otherwise, no matter how strong the forward team is, it will not play much role.

But in fact, Wan Sheng is not in a hurry to introduce midfielders because he already has a goal.

Before completing the acquisition of Atletico Madrid Club, Wansheng had already contacted Morris privately.

Needless to say, the personal relationship between Morris and Wansheng is not a question. Wansheng has not left Morris for several years in coaching, and he is also used as the core.

As soon as he heard that Wan Sheng was going to return to coaching in Europe, Morris immediately became anxious to join Wan Sheng's team.

At present, Morris is already a ‘free man’.

Morris did not renew his contract with Manchester City, or rather, the Manchester City club thinks he is old, so he is unwilling to offer a big contract.

In two years, Manchester City has changed a lot.

After the Abu Dhabi consortium entered Manchester City, they invited former Blackburn coach Mark Hughes to take charge of Manchester City.

Mark Hughes is still very successful in coaching Blackburn. He led this team that works hard for relegation every year, stabilized his performance in the middle of the league and qualified for European competitions.

However, this is Mark Hughes coaching the "Big Family" for the first time.

Manchester City is originally a big club. After winning the Grand Slam, many fans regarded Manchester City as a "big club" team. When Wan Sheng left, Manchester City's strength had reached its peak.

This is how Mark Hughes took over Manchester City.

As a team that won the Grand Slam last season, Manchester City's front, middle and backcourts are very complete, so even if the club's senior management changes and the Abu Dhabi consortium is very rich, the summer transfer has not changed much. After Mark Hughes took over the team, he also wanted to use the Wansheng tactics to keep the team going.

However, Mark Hughes soon discovered that the job was very difficult.

The key problem is that he doesn't know Wansheng's "os-f" so much. He is even worse than the team's main players Morris, Silva and others. In tactical training, he is often confused. He originally changed the tactics, but let alone the transformation, even if he fights normally, he doesn't know what to do.

This is actually not Mark Hughes.

This basic theory of "os-" may be fine, but in the three years of coaching Manchester City, Wan Sheng has used the football training master system to modify "os-" to the level of "most suitable for Manchester City".

Many of what Wan Sheng uses are football training master systems. He can clearly see the players' abilities and practice in the "Strait and Arrangement" system. The data can tell him a lot.

Mark Hughes certainly does not have a football training master system, so he is very confused about Manchester City's so complex and orderly tactics.

As a result, when preparing for the summer, Mark Hughes almost did one thing - to understand the tactics by himself.

Wan Sheng still has the foundation left by him. Even if the lineup remains unchanged, even if the team is allowed to perform normally, they can still achieve very good results. As a result, when Mark Hughes did not play much role in the season, Manchester City still achieved the third-best record in the league.

However, the third place in the league is very good, but it is far behind Wan Sheng's coaching. Especially Manchester City only reached the top 16 in the Champions League and did not even make it to the quarterfinals, which is equivalent to achieving the worst result in four years.

The media and fans are quite dissatisfied with Mark Hughes.

Last summer, Mark Hughes barely kept his position as head coach and decided not to be an "outsider". He was determined to build Manchester City into his own team and expressed his ideas to club chairman Mubarak, who expressed his support for Mark Hughes.

So Manchester City's transformation began.

In order to make Manchester City completely "his own team", Mark Hughes sold Torres, Boateng and Leto Ziegler one after another, and eliminated veterans Robert Carlos, Ivan Crew, Sun Jihai and others. At the same time, Manchester City also had a large number of signings. Robinho is the heaviest, with his transfer fee of 32.5 million pounds, almost equivalent to selling Torres. Manchester City also signed Tar Benhaim from Chelsea and returned Wright Phillips, and then bought Villa captain Gareth Barry and Blackburn striker Rock Santa Cruz.

After a few sales and signings, Manchester City changed drastically.

In fact, Morris is also on Mark Hughes's list of cleaning up, but Morris doesn't want to leave. He has a one-year contract with Manchester City. He hopes to fulfill the one-year contract and become a libero, and he can join other teams at will.

In this way, Manchester City began the journey of the new season.

But in the end, Mark Hughes failed, and the team's performance in the second year fell sharply. In the middle of the season, Mark Hughes led the team with poor record and was dismissed, and Roberto Mancini began to take charge of Manchester City's coaching stick.

At the end of last season, Manchester City only finished fifth in the league due to a desperate defeat against Tottenham Hotspur.

So this summer, Manchester City will definitely face turmoil again.

The first is Morris' departure.

Morris has been at Manchester City for five years and has always been the core of the team. Even though he is over 33 years old, he is in good health and can play all over the game most of the time.

As the winner of the 2008 Golden Globe Awards, Morris has a great influence.

Morris' departure will definitely have a significant impact on Manchester City.

But Wan Sheng doesn't care about that much. Manchester City has almost nothing to do with him now. Some of them are still very familiar with them, but the main lineup has changed a lot.

This is how professional football is. When the head coach leaves a team, even if he has feelings for that team, he must be kept in his heart.

Wansheng needs to consider it for his team.

When Morris comes to the team, he will definitely be able to increase his midfield ability. With Morris who has reached the peak of his strength and experience, then the midfield will be basically constructed.

Morris is already 33 years old, and this must be considered, so Wansheng also needs to find other candidates suitable for the team. Two other players from Manchester City have also entered Wansheng's sight.

Ozil and Silva.

Ozil and Silva are both pretty good, but in fact, it is difficult for other coaches to mix the two together because their positions are somewhat repetitive, and it is enough for a team to have a core.

Just like Manchester City last season, Mark Hughes always put one of them on the bench, so Manchester City is likely to consider selling one of them.

Wansheng hopes to get one of both.

Morris is already old, and Ozil and Silva, no matter which one comes, it can make the team's midfield more stable. (To be continued.)
