Chapter 339 Just waiting for the opening
"Hehe, it's okay." Duncan frowned, and said, "Why are you calling?"
Duncan's routine is to fool a young man like Fellaini. If it is Ljungberg or Shevchenko, he must have seen it on the spot: Newman is the chief scout, and he only inspects players and does not participate in the introduction work.
"Oh, it's like this." Newman continued without doubting him, "A company called MSI Investment Group contacted me. They claimed to own the ownership of Tevez and wanted to discuss the possibility of Tevez joining Manchester City. sex."
"Tevez." Duncan repeated the name.
Tevez's outstanding football talent and his bad character are his distinctive features.
There is no doubt about Tevez's talent and ability. He is the kind of player who can occupy the starting lineup wherever he goes. He can often turn the tide of the game by himself, and his fighting will is very high.
But on the other hand, he can't stay in a team for long. Either he has conflicts with the head coach or his teammates, or he proposes a transfer, and he can't live for a moment.
Such a player, everyone likes and has a headache.
Tevez is a West Ham United player, but his ownership is in the hands of MSI Investment Group, so this company is fully capable of deciding Tevez's transfer.
only……
"Tell the other party that I have no intention of bringing in Carlos Tevez, so the negotiation will be avoided," Duncan said.
Now that Tevez's two-year loan period with Manchester United expires, Ferguson wants to buy him, but Tevez and the MSI investment group behind him are vacillating and have never given Manchester United the letter.
At this time, MSI Investment Group is contacting Manchester City, regardless of whether the company is sincere, but the most direct intention is definitely to increase the bargaining chip with Manchester United on the negotiating table.
Duncan bet that if he met with the agency, it would be all over the newspapers the next day.
At that time, yellow mud will fall on his crotch.
Moreover, the four major forwards in the Manchester City team, plus the rookie Sturridge, the strikers are completely sufficient, and there is no need to sign up.
Moreover, Duncan does not believe in such a brokerage company. If Tevez is really introduced, he will definitely be paid a high salary. If Tevez refuses to play or proposes a transfer in the sprint stage of the league, it is probably tantamount to stabbing in the back. The team has a knife.
Such a player is definitely not wanted.
Of course, apart from Tevez, there are not a few players who have scandals with Manchester City: Adebayor, Kolo Toure, Gerrard.
This summer, it seems that as long as they take the wings of Manchester City, the transfer fee will also be multiplied.
……
The center of the storm is calm.
In addition to training, the team also contacted several warm-up opponents.
The reason why I chose Dubai for warm-up is that, in addition to the top-level training facilities and the consumption boss Baoyuan, there are many teams training here, and it is very convenient to contact the warm-up match.
The first team in the warm-up match was Cologne in the Bundesliga. The warm-up match is a game to test the team's training results. Naturally, Duncan did not use the formation system.
Cologne is a typical mid-lower Bundesliga team with a tough style and tenacious will, which is not easy to deal with.
However, Manchester City's tacit understanding was good. The team controlled the situation on the field through skilled cooperation.In the first half of the game, with the goals of Shevchenko, Milito and Toure, they defeated the opponent 3:0 and got a good start in the warm-up match.
In the second half of the game, Duncan changed to 4231, Fellaini and Hager doubled as midfielders, and the three attacking forwards were Martin Petrov, Silva and Sanchez.
Single striker Aguero.
Everyone has the awareness of running positions, but because of the lack of tacit understanding, there will be mistakes in passing and receiving the ball. With this mistake, Cologne scored a goal for Manchester City.
In the end, Manchester City won 3:1.
After the game ended, the team made a summary, and adjusted the training programs of the players according to the problems in this game.
Lopez's performance in defense has improved, but it is not obvious. Duncan asked the goalkeeper coach to continue to strengthen the exercise in this area.
Otamendi's performance is very good. He has practiced for a season at the top level. Although he makes occasional mistakes, it is also a necessary tuition fee.
As for the lack of tacit understanding in this game, the team increased the proportion of team cooperation in training.
At the same time, Duncan also asked the transfer team in Madrid to strengthen the strategy, focusing on Manchester City's attraction to Sneijder.
At the same time, Manchester City ushered in the second warm-up match, and this opponent was a bit hanging.
Serie A giants, AC Milan.
Well, this wealthy family was invited by Mansour.
Before the game, Beckham, who was playing for AC Milan, ran over to say hello to Duncan.
This season is destined to be a painful period for AC Milan. The meritorious coach Ancelotti left Chelsea, and the core of the frontcourt Kaka came to the Bernabeu. The rest are all old men.
The pace and confrontation of the warm-up match must be a little bit worse, and Manchester City's recent physical training has been very hard.
And AC Milan where the old monsters are rampant, the most indispensable thing is the experience of catching fighters. In the end, with Inzaghi's goal, Manchester City lost to AC Milan.
"You played well." Shaking hands after the game, Milan's new coach Leonardo acted like a good boy.
"You guys also played well." Duncan said with a smile: "If it's an official game, your physical fitness may not be able to last half of the game."
"That's not necessarily the case, football is more than running." Leonardo laughed again.
"Running is the most basic." Duncan laughed again.
However, the two didn't argue too much, it's just a different idea anyway.
After playing AC Milan, Mansour also fulfilled a small personal wish. After all, he once coveted Milan's Ronaldinho, but now he seems to be going downhill.
So...
It's fine to import something, just look at it and it's over.
With the boss supervising the battle, the team will naturally use their lives. In the next few warm-up matches, the team performed well.
Beat Bolton 5:0 and Celtic 3:1.
In the last warm-up match, against the local team Ittihad, the team reversed and defeated the opponent 10:11 in the case of 7 against 2.
Four warm-up matches, three wins and one loss, the results are acceptable.And the tacit understanding of the team is also running in well. Sanchez and AZP have a preliminary tacit understanding.
The two formations Duncan experimented with, including the traditional 442 and the new 4231, the team quickly adapted to.
After all, after cooperating with each other for a season, everyone's tacit understanding and familiarity are very good.
Several warm-up matches are over, Manchester City's training camp in Dubai is also over, and the team is preparing to return to Manchester.
The night before returning to Manchester, Manchester City boss Mansour specially hosted a banquet for Manchester City soldiers.
At least on the surface, this chief is polite, elegant in conversation, and polite in manner, without any image of a local tyrant demonized by the outside world.
After the meal, Mansur presented a Patek Philippe Nautilus watch to every Manchester City soldier present.
It was difficult for everyone to express their opinions on the spot, and a building was immediately searched on Baidu.
The value of each watch is as high as 14 euros.
This Manchester City team has more than 30 people here...
"As expected of a mine!" Ashley Yang rolled the watch on his wrist and said bitterly.
The next day, everyone got on the plane and returned to Manchester.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the Premier League to start.
